Chapter 210: Chapter 121: Mass-producing Invincible Sielo Knights (Part 2)

In the early stages of development, Lord Players who lacked the support of a large number of Extraordinary Soldiers would be utterly powerless against other Lord Players.

Forget other Lord Players, even a random, bottom-of-the-barrel Native Power could walk all over them, crushing them as easily as kicking a stray dog to death on the roadside.

Moreover.

Within their optimal level range, Ordinary Soldier Types weren’t necessarily weaker in combat than higher-quality Legendary and Epic Soldier Types.

It was just like the 3-star F2P champions in some older gacha games.

Back when they were at the same level, those mediocre 5-star cards weren’t even in the same league as the 3-star champions.

Only after a new version of the gacha game was released could they rely on their higher growth ceilings and unique 5-star mechanics to take over the main force positions from those 3-star champions, gradually relegating them to the bench.

Therefore, unless a Lord Player wanted to be a “turtle” who only focused on the late game, they would train a large batch of Ordinary Level Extraordinary Soldiers in the early world stages…

As he thought about it, Qin Feng’s brow twitched, and a series of thoughts surfaced in his mind:

’Come to think of it.’

’Since I can directly spend money to promote Ordinary Soldier Types to Extraordinary Soldier Types…’

’Could I use this special Talent mechanic to bypass the insanely difficult reincarnation requirements for the Sielo Knight and just conjure up a group of them out of thin air?’

’And…’

’If I enfeoff an ordinary soldier as a Heroic Unit…’

’No matter what quality of Void Boss they kill, I’ll only end up with an Ordinary Level Heroic Unit.’

’So…’

’If I go and enfeoff an Extraordinary Soldier…’

’Will I get a higher-quality Heroic Unit based on the different Professional Quality they obtain after their promotion?’

At this thought, Qin Feng began to review the mechanics for how a normal player promotes Divine Chosen Soldiers.

They started as villagers, first promoting to Level 1 Militia. Then, through different barracks buildings, they would advance into Level 2 soldier types like Swordsmen, Gunmen, archers, and Scouts.

After that, they would rely on the “Extraordinary Power” contained within the barracks to furiously hone the professional Combat Skills and exclusive weapon proficiencies of their respective Level 2 soldier types, promoting step-by-step into Level 3, 4, 5, 6, and finally, Extraordinary Soldiers of the same line.

His own “Unit Upgrade” Talent, however, directly ignored the extra conditions required for normal unit promotion, like “Combat Skills” and “weapon proficiency.”

As long as they accumulated enough Combat Experience and kill experience, he could just spend money to complete the promotion.

’It feels…’

’It should be possible…’

’But the real problem is…’

’I don’t know what the prerequisite soldier type for the Sielo Knight is…’

’If I can’t complete the first few promotion steps, I won’t be able to get the Level 6 soldier type that’s in the same line as the Sielo Knight, let alone have them achieve the ultimate sublimation from an Ordinary Soldier Type to an Extraordinary Soldier Type in the final stage…’

Huh!

Wait!

I remember now!

The description for the Sielo Training Hall seemed to say it can train any human unit into a Sielo Knight!

Does that mean… all Level 6 human soldier types can be promoted into Sielo Knights?

Or even!

It doesn’t even require the Level 6 prerequisite!

As long as they’re human?

In that instant, it all clicked for Qin Feng. He couldn’t be bothered with the ongoing Void Tide before him. He immediately ordered Ashes to bring a villager over, converting him into a Militia unit on the way.

When Ashes brought the Militia member to the top of the city wall, Qin Feng immediately glanced at the Militia’s status panel.

[Soldier Name: Militia (Holy Empire Combatant)]

[Life Value: 21/21]

[Mastered Skills: None]

[Assessment of Normal State Power: Zero-star (White)]

[Power Assessment under the King of War’s influence: Zero-star (Green)]

[Rapid Acquisition Method: None]

[Fast Promotion Conditions: 10 Gold Coins / Combat Experience meets promotion requirements]

[Special Promotion Conditions: 5,000 Gold Coins / Combat Experience meets promotion requirements]

[Natural Acquisition Method: Cannot be acquired naturally (He is a natural Divine Chosen Soldier)]

[Natural Promotion Method: Cannot be promoted naturally (He is a natural Divine Chosen Soldier)]

[Description: The most basic Divine Chosen Soldier owned by a Divine Chosen Lord.]

Holy shit!

Special Promotion Conditions!

It costs a whopping 5,000 Gold Coins!

This has to be the promotion path for the “Sielo Knight”!

Well, I’ll be damned!

I can’t believe I never noticed!

Those Militia units that were once said to have a “promising future” really have a promising future now!

At this moment, Qin Feng was both shocked and overjoyed, with a hint of regret mixed in.

He was thrilled that his “Unit Upgrade” Talent clearly wasn’t obsolete and would still be incredibly useful in the future—not only could it transform any human unit into the ridiculously overpowered Sielo Knights, but these Extraordinary Knights also came with two practically unbeatable Divine Gift skills. Their combat power was enough to contend with Heroic Units of the same level, making them an absolutely surefire investment to cultivate.

His regret stemmed from the fact that he hadn’t noticed such crucial information sooner, needlessly missing a perfect opportunity to train an army of Sielo Knights in advance.

If it weren’t for the issue he ran into today with the War Merit Enfeoffment only creating Ordinary Level Heroes, which prompted him to think about this, he probably wouldn’t have discovered this detail for a long time…

’Forget it!’

’It’s not a big deal!’

’It’s not too late to raise an army of Sielo Knights now!’

With that thought, Qin Feng waved his hand and ordered Ashes, who was overhead,

“Ashes!”

“Relay my command!”

“All villagers in the territory!”

“Immediately hand over all construction work to the Sub-humans, go to the Militia Camp to get promoted to Militia units, and then report directly to the city walls!”

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Feng fell into deep thought again.

The real key point now was: could Divine Chosen Soldiers in the Extraordinary Realm be converted into Heroic Units of an equivalent level based on their own Professional Quality?

This question was of the utmost importance.

This was because Qin Feng currently didn’t possess any Riding and Cutting Talents that could directly increase “Heroic Quality” or “Professional Quality.”

This meant…

…the Divine Chosen Soldiers who had just slain Void Bosses and been enfeoffed as Heroic Units would likely remain stuck at the Ordinary Level Hero tier for the rest of their lives.

They would have to put in far more effort than other high-quality heroes, relying on “Proofs of Reincarnation” and “diligent training” to acquire more Ordinary Level professions, hoping that a quantitative change would trigger a qualitative one, allowing them to barely catch up to the power level of high-quality heroes.

On the other hand…

If “War Merit Enfeoffment” could directly increase Heroic Quality based on the professional strength of the Extraordinary Soldier Type, things would be much simpler.

Qin Feng could just promote his powerful Divine Chosen Soldiers to the Extraordinary Realm first, especially by turning them into a Legendary Soldier Type, and then enfeoff them as heroes.

By doing so, he could mass-produce Legendary Heroes on the same level as Valkyrie and Diablo.

At that point, these Legendary Heroes would come with at least one Legendary-level Talent, and when paired with the Hero Talents plundered from others, their combat power would be absolutely off the charts.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts. He refocused his attention on the Void Tide before him, converting them one by one into his Bloodthirsty Stacks.

He had just realized a problem.

The number of enemy heroes and bosses was far smaller than the number of Divine Chosen Soldiers he possessed.

Therefore, his main force in the future would definitely still be the Divine Chosen Legion, not a legion of heroes as he had imagined.

Besides.

By the time that happened…

…the Divine Chosen Legion would have all evolved into their corresponding Extraordinary Soldier Types.

At that point, no matter how he went about the War Merit Enfeoffment, the problem he was currently agonizing over would be resolved—either he would turn Extraordinary Soldiers into uniformly Ordinary Level Heroes, or he would turn them into higher-level Heroic Units according to the different qualities of their Extraordinary Soldier Type professions.

’It’s just…’

’This loss today…’

’It seems like it was an unavoidable part of the process…’

’Sigh…’

’It hurts so much…’

’I wonder if there’ll be a Riding and Cutting Talent later on that can increase Heroic Quality or Professional Quality…’

’One that could give these Ordinary Level Heroes the chance to keep getting stronger…’

Since things had come to this, Qin Feng could only think of happier things to mask the faint sorrow filling his heart.

Meanwhile, the group of Divine Chosen Soldiers around him, thanks to the “war merits” gifted by one Void Boss after another, became Ordinary Level Heroes possessing at least two Awakened Talents.

As for the Void Bosses whose Awakened Talents were completely useless, their fate was to be instantly killed by Qin Feng and converted into corresponding Dragon Crystal resources, helping him gather the 500 Dragon Crystals needed to upgrade his “More Wild Monsters” Talent.

And just like that.

Before long.

The second wave of the Void Tide came to an uneventful close.
