Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Chapter 65 The Sage of Military Strategy

Named heroic spirits all possess destiny, which can form destiny talent, and this is one of the most core values ​​of heroic spirits.

Xiao Yu checked his new talent.

【Supreme Sage of Military Strategy】, Orange-level Luck Talent, Current Awakening Strength is Green, Increases all regular skills of self and all Heroic Spirits by 10%, Increases all skills of crew members and Heroic Spirits by 5%, Can summon and control 1 Heroic Spirit unit, Comes with the Talent Skill "Light of the Sage of Military Strategy".

The luck grade of a common named heroic spirit is usually green, and this luck grade requires level 40 to awaken.

The stronger the luck.

The earlier you awaken.

Take orange epic fortune as an example:

Awakening begins at level 5, with an initial strength of green. It then reaches blue at level 10, purple at level 20, red at level 30, and is fully awakened at level 40.

The military strategist's destiny has just awakened.

The results are already considerable.

It can affect itself, Heroic Spirits, all crew members, and the Heroic Spirits of the crew members simultaneously!

For oneself and one's own heroic spirit.

The skill effect is increased by 10%.

Except for a few unconventional skills such as production skills and talent skills, all attack skills, defense skills, and support skills will be enhanced indiscriminately!

Incredibly valuable!

The amplification effect will be multiplied in the future, and more other types of amplification effects will be generated.

This is the power of the "Sage of Military Strategy" talent; its future potential is immeasurable!

In addition to skill enhancement.

There are two other effects.

First, the number of playable Servants increases by one.

The number of Heroic Spirits a Chosen One can summon and use simultaneously is not constant; this number changes according to the Chosen One's level, generally increasing by one every 10 levels.

Suiyang was formerly subject to hierarchical restrictions.

A chosen one can use at most one Heroic Spirit unit.

Some Heroic Spirits that have a bond of destiny with each other and can be summoned together are also considered a Heroic Spirit unit.

Now, thanks to the green-level "Sage of Military Strategy", Xiao Yu can summon one more Heroic Spirit unit than others, which undoubtedly gives him a huge advantage!

Finally, check the talent skills.

【Light of the Military Saint】, a green luck skill. Whenever a buff skill is activated, the Light of the Military Saint effect can be triggered, increasing the number or range of effects by 10 times, but the skill consumption and cost increase by 1 time. It can be applied to skills of green strength or less.

The innate skills are equally powerful!

It only requires 1 unit of mental energy.

It can instantly apply the Four Curses of the War God to 10 people at the same time!

All buff skills can trigger the Light of the War God, whether it's amplification, defense, or healing!

This is enough to transform Xiao Yu into a super support, a super shield, and a super healer, thus redefining what team fights are all about!

Although the "Light of the Military Saint" can only be applied to skills with a strength not exceeding green due to the limitation of luck level, this refers to strength rather than grade.

Take the Four Spells of the Military Sage as an example.

Although the skill is of purple grade.

However, levels 3 and below fall within the strength range of top-tier green skills, levels 4 to 6 fall within the strength range of top-tier blue skills, and only level 7 touches upon the strength range of purple skills.

The Sage's Spell, not exceeding level 3.

It is possible to trigger the Light of the War God!

It's easy to see that the Luck Talent can not only increase the abilities of oneself and all Heroic Spirits, but also strengthen the entire team if one becomes a captain in the future.

The more fortune an ark carries, especially the more fortune the captain possesses, the stronger the entire team becomes.

"Truly worthy of being called the supreme strategist Sun Tzu!"

"As expected of a top-tier epic-level heroic spirit!"

In the last few days.

The rank remains unchanged.

However, its overall strength has improved significantly.

Xiao Yu not only cultivated three level 5 heroic spirits, but also invested a lot of resources in equipment enhancement.

The Corpse Whip, the Ash Bow, and the Blood Tiger Blade are all at least level 5, with the Corpse Whip and the Ash Bow even upgraded to level 6.

Upgrading the weapon alone consumed 42 white forging stones, 4 green forging stones, a large amount of basic material essence, and soul stones.

Not only that.

The Fallen King of Chu Five-Piece Set.

The current minimum level is no lower than level 3.

The chest armor was directly upgraded to level 5.

He also used several green deep-sea stones to upgrade the Corpse Whip to a high-grade green, and the Ash Bow and Blood Tiger Blade to a mid-grade green.

The Greed Ring has successfully broken through to level 5 and is now a green equipment. Although the equipment level dropped to level 2, it was quickly upgraded back to level 5 and can currently store 180 spirit power.

Other equipment.

Examples include ever-changing masks and divination tortoise shells.

It has also been strengthened to a certain extent.

Although crafting equipment consumes a lot of Soul Stones and materials, the effort is undoubtedly worthwhile, as exemplified by the Ash Warbow.

Its initial properties are:

【Ash Warbow】, a low-grade green equipment, with a base attack of +8, a range increase of +10%, an agility increase of +2%, and the skill "Flame Arrow". Durability is 35.

Its performance is even worse than a level 5 gold bow.

The current attributes of this bow are:

【Ash Warbow】, a medium-grade green equipment, equipment level 6, base attack +20, range increase +22%, agility increase +6%, archery damage +5%, with the skill "Flame Arrow", durability 40.

The performance is more than doubled!

Even without using heroic spirits, Xiao Yu's current overall strength is enough to easily kill a regular lord unit of the same level.

Nightmare instance.

That's all for now.

The forbidden zone event is about to begin!

This is the most important thing for the next two days.

Suiyang City.

Near the Heavenly Dao Temple.

A medium-sized courtyard.

"Hello, boss!"

Xiao Yu had just entered the courtyard.

Several chosen ones immediately greeted them.

Xiao Yu's team now includes not only Zhao Gang, Lu Dahai, and Jiang Xiaoxia, but also 27 Chosen Ones under his command, plus 50...

A former employee of a Japanese company.

Total number of people: 86!

This takes 10 days.

A team built from scratch.

Among these 27 chosen ones are people like Zheng Liangping who specialize in logistics, as well as some talented and promising combat or management personnel.

Zhao Gang, Jiang Xiaoxia, and Lu Dahai have just reached level 6, and there are as many as twelve other Chosen Ones at level 5.

Although rank cannot fully represent strength.

However, those who can reach level 5 in about half a month are undoubtedly among the best of the chosen ones in Suiyang.

This garrison.

It is the headquarters of Xiao Yu's team.

However, because there are too many believers who have been lying dormant for a long time, and these madmen sometimes act unpredictably, no one lives here directly for safety reasons.

For those destined by fate.

The Ark is always the safest.

This place is merely an activity and exchange center for Xiao Yu's team of chosen ones, in addition to providing office and accommodation for local employees in Suiyang.

The restricted area activity is about to begin.

Xiao Yu held a brief meeting with his confidants Zhao Gang, Jiang Xiaoxia, Lu Dahai, and several of Xianmin's subordinates.

"Inform the chief!"

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties and had a composed demeanor stood up to give a report.

Qu Guang.

He is a local from Suiyang.

Although he belonged to the Chu clan, one of the four major clans of Suiyang, he came from a humble background and had little contact with the direct line of the Qu clan. He was originally just a materials merchant in Suiyang City.

Xiao Yu spent money to acquire Qu Guang's business, and seeing that the man was shrewd and meticulous in his actions, he promoted him to be in charge of business and intelligence management.

These tasks were left to the locals.

Of course, it's more convenient than being a chosen one who is unfamiliar with the place and people.

"According to the information we've gathered, all four tribes have been making significant moves recently, especially the Wu tribe!"

Qu Guang said, "The Wu clan and the Chosen Ones led by Wang Yang are cooperating more and more closely. Recently, they have not only provided a lot of material assistance, but also granted him the clan's treasured sword."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone else looked surprised.

Jiang Xiaxia couldn't help but ask, "The Wu clan's treasured sword? What kind of weapon is that?"

"I know this sword," Xiao Yu said. "The Wu clan's skilled craftsmen are adept at forging the Bianzhu sword. This sword is a treasure made of top-grade black iron, which is a green-grade material."

"So it's just a green-grade weapon?" Lu Dahai said dismissively. "I thought it would be something special. The four clans of Suiyang are nothing special!"

"Don't underestimate the strength of the four clans."

Xiao Yu: "Although this Xuan Tie Bian Zhu sword is still a green-grade weapon, the Wu clan's skilled craftsmen have repeatedly tempered it for more than ten years, so its enhancement level is very high and it is no less than a blue-grade weapon."

Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Wang Yang's mastery of Helu's Five Swords of Destiny was already quite formidable, but now that he's obtained such a fine sword, it's going to be a bit tricky."

Lu Dahai: "Why do I have a feeling this kid's got a wicked streak, isn't he? Maybe he's going to challenge the boss?"

Xiao Yu didn't care that he asked, "Have the other three races made any moves?"

Qu Guang immediately said, "Each ethnic group has a chosen one who directly supports or wins over for cooperation. For example, the Yue ethnic group also wants to deepen cooperation with Su Qingmeng, but it doesn't seem to be going smoothly."

Jiang Xiaxia: "Senior Su refused? Why did she do that? There are quite a few experts and skilled craftsmen among the Yue people."

Lu Dahai snorted, "Which of the leaders of the four tribes in Suiyang isn't an old fox? They believe in giving before taking. They're not here to do charity. Otherwise, if our boss had even the slightest idea, the tribes would have already brought piles of resources to negotiate."

Su Qingmeng and Wang Yang.

Both their talent and personal abilities are quite strong.

Xiao Yu naturally considered recruiting Mo Xia for his own use, believing that he would play a significant role in future deep-sea adventures.

Both of them are ambitious.

They will never easily abandon their team.

In their past lives, the two were each other's greatest rivals. Although Wang Yang ultimately won and took control of the Ark, Su Qingmeng was not convinced and even led her team away.

now.

History was changed.

After the Gusu Demon Palace instance, the two's reputation was completely suppressed by Xiao Yu, and they have realized the gap in strength. They will inevitably want to seek external help. At this time, the four clans of Suiyang will definitely take the opportunity to increase their efforts.

The ancient inhabitants cannot enter the instance.

It also cannot directly help the chosen one cultivate.

However, if providing only indirect help or material assistance is feasible, they want to invest in the Chosen Ones, use them to break free from the old world, and acquire more world resources.

Every investment seeks a return.

When Wu Zu invested in Wang Yang, a contract must have been established, which most likely involved priority recruitment quotas for the future Ark, and even revenue sharing from the Ark.

These core interests would normally be difficult to discuss, but when faced with the pressure from Xiao Yu, Wang Yang chose to deepen his ties with the Wu clan.

In contrast,

Su Qingmeng rejected the Yue ethnic group's investment.

This means that Wang Yang will grow rapidly in the near future, while Su Qingmeng will face a significant drop in performance.

The decisions made by the two as team leaders must have been based on realistic circumstances and their own values. Xiao Yu did not want to stand on a high ground to praise or criticize the choices themselves.

However, as things stand at the moment...

Su Qingmeng found it easier to absorb.

It is necessary to maintain friendly relations with them, and occasionally offer some help to maintain good relations as long as it does not impede interests.

Xiao Yu asked, "The forbidden area activity is about to begin. Have you completed all the preparations I asked you to make?"

Jiang Xiaxia immediately said, "Don't worry, senior, we've remembered all the precautions you mentioned. We hope we can successfully find the secret realm in the forbidden area this time!"

The former forbidden area was only opened once a year.

Xiao Yu's goal has always been clear: the spirit of Xi Shi!

This Heroic Spirit is extremely valuable, in no way inferior to some Red Heroic Spirits.

Moreover, they can form a bond of destiny with Zheng Dan, allowing them to not only use each other simultaneously but also enhance each other's abilities.

The deep sea is an endless and vast world.

There are many opportunities to collect Heroic Spirits.

It is extremely difficult to form a combination of Heroic Spirits with a strong bond of destiny!

Although Xiao Yu didn't have much information about the various ancient secret realms in the Suiyang Forbidden Area, even the fragmented information and experience were of great value to others and could effectively increase the success rate!

Several hours later.

Activities in restricted areas of Suiyang.

It has finally officially begun.
