Apocalyptic Lord: Heroes of Might and Magic Descend

Chapter 101 Upgrade Plan [Third Update, Please Subscribe]

To Lin Mo's relief, neither Xu Jiang, Li Hong, nor Zhao Yanbin showed any hesitation in his request to borrow troops.

They are all open-minded people.

Of course, curiosity is indispensable.

Li Hong, in particular, said directly, "Brother Lin, what do you need these troops for? If there are any benefits, don't forget about us brothers; let's go together!"

Lin Mo shook his head: "It's not that I'm being selfish, but I really can't involve you guys in this... Anyway, I only need to borrow ranged units, the more the better."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiang and the other two stopped talking and went back to gather their troops, saying they would be there in a little while.

After the three left, Lin Mo murmured, "Now that I've got Ouling, I can use his special skills to level up in that place." However, that place can only accommodate two heroes, so I really can't bring anyone else.

Lin Mo did not deceive Li Hong and the other two about this.

Moreover, to be honest, this plan is quite dangerous. If one is not careful, not only will all the efforts be in vain, but one could also lose their life.

Xu Jiang and the other two acted very quickly, clearly treating Lin Mo's instructions as a top priority. After all, they had received tangible benefits from Lin Mo, and trust had been established between them.

All three brought with them all the ranged units they could recruit from their respective territories.

Not a single one was left.

They are really sincere, and Lin Mo could tell that from the number of troops they brought.

Xu Jiang and Zhao Yanbin both belong to the Castle faction. The Castle faction has two ranged units: a level 2 Archer and a level 5 Monk. Xu Jiang had just built a level 5 unit building and brought over all ten of his Monks, while he brought a full 200 Archers.

Zhao Yanbin was similar; he had even more archers, 220 in total, but he hadn't built any level 5 troop buildings, so he didn't have a single monk.

Lin Mo didn't take the monks away either, because there were too few of them to form a fighting force.

Li Hong's side was the territory of the stronghold faction, so the only ranged unit he could summon was the "Orc Chieftain," a level 3 unit that could throw axes from a distance. Lin Mo was somewhat surprised by the number of them; he had actually accumulated 130.

Li Hong said honestly, "Mainly because there are two orc towers in my territory, so I have accumulated quite a few of this type of unit."

That's quite a lot!

"420 archers and 130 orc chieftains are barely enough." Lin Mo nodded. This time, he didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted these ranged units.

His next plan is to make these ranged units the main force.

After seeing the three off, Lin Mo began to make preparations. He had two ranged units in his dungeon territory: one was the level 3 unit Evil Eye, and the other was the level 4 unit Medusa Queen. However, Lin Mo hadn't accumulated enough of these two units; they were both less than a hundred. Moreover, the places where he was going had restrictions on where to place the units, so he simply decided not to bring them.

Gang came back in the afternoon.

Moreover, he completed the task Lin Mo had assigned him, bringing back another legendary "hero".

[The sorcerer Jedd, special skill: reincarnation]

[Initial Skills: Basic Wisdom Spell, Basic Earth Magic]

Attack 0, Defense 0, Strength 3, Knowledge 2

Looking at this legendary hero, Lin Mo was very satisfied. Originally, Lin Mo thought that this recruitment mission, which was a hundred kilometers away, was still very unpredictable. After all, that place might be the territory of some other lord hero, and there might be all sorts of troubles.

But clearly, Hu Zhigang overcame all of these obstacles and completed the task excellently.

It can be said that the sorcerer Jedd possesses almost the strongest "reincarnation" magic, and the number of troops he can revive is unmatched by other heroes who have learned the same type of magic.

It has enormous potential and can gain an advantage from the very beginning.

Lin Mo pulled Hu Zhigang aside and explained the ideas and methods for cultivating this hero.

"Brother Gang, it all boils down to one sentence: use hero magic to enhance the attributes of your troops, and revive the lost troops at the right time. This way you can expand without losses. The only thing to watch out for is whether your hero's level and magic power are high enough to cast spells."

Hu Zhigang listened attentively.

"The Black Dragon is immune to magic and therefore cannot be resurrected, but the Manticore can, as can other unit types. Next, let the hero lead the troops, and you will assist in expanding the territory. Start from the area around Migratory Bird City and explore and expand in one direction. The speed can be a little slow, but you must ensure safety."

After settling Hu Zhigang in, Lin Mo planned to officially begin his own plan.

This trip will take several days, so things in both territories need to be arranged properly. Hero 5090 is responsible for guarding the City of the Dead, collecting taxes regularly, and recruiting troops. Hero 10086 will be sent to the dungeon.

Simply perfect!

Lin Mo himself, on the other hand, took his troops with him when he went out.

His plan was to quickly raise his and Ouling's hero level in a short period of time.

This is crucial; the hero's level determines the quality of the troops they lead.

With the same number of troops, a high-level hero leading them will be more than ten times stronger in combat than a low-level hero.

Before this, Lin Mo could only rely on his superior understanding and information about the new world to gain an advantage. Although he had acquired many good things, in reality, the gap between him and some "chosen ones" was not that large.

However, this time, having obtained the hero "Ouling," one can utilize some of the mechanisms of the new world to significantly widen the gap between oneself and others.

The place we went to this time was very far away, but luckily there was a teleportation portal.

Knowing about portals in specific areas is also what gives Lin Mo an edge over others.

It would take months to figure out the different locations of the teleportation portals and the destination information.

In the suburbs of Migratory Bird City, on the mountainside of a scenic area, under a large tree, the tree roots were wrapped around a teleportation portal. After Lin Mo and Ou Ling killed the 50 units of deadwood guards stationed there, they plunged into the teleportation portal.

On the other side of this portal was a vast Gobi Desert. As far as the eye could see, there were no plants, only gravel and dust stirred up by the wind.

Lin Mo covered his mouth and nose with gauze, then spurred his horse to gallop away after determining the direction.

"This is clearly still an uninhabited area where no one has set foot. There are quite a few monsters roaming here, but Lin Mo has no time to deal with them. He needs to hurry."

An hour later, Lin Mo entered an ancient ruin in a desert area.

The place looks dilapidated, but the earthen-yellow city walls still stand tall, and the original rooftops inside the city still reflect the sunlight. Poisonous insects and scorpions from the desert will emerge from the sand in the shadows, curiously observing the two knights galloping past.

"arrive!"

Lin Mo stopped in front of a large group of buildings. The buildings here were very magnificent, especially the one that looked like a giant pyramid, which was over a hundred meters high. At the entrance stood four teams of mummies holding scepters.

Neutral Tier 3 unit.

Attacking will have a chance to trigger a "curse" effect, reducing the unit's attack power to a minimum.

Moreover, the four groups of mummies at the entrance each contain more than 100 mummies.

Upon approaching, combat mode will be triggered immediately.

If a typical lord hero doesn't understand the situation, there's a 99% chance they won't approach easily in this situation.

After all, they didn't know the strength and level of these mummies, and with more than 400 mummies in total, it was indeed very intimidating.

Lin Mo, however, did not hesitate at all and led Ou Ling to charge forward.
