27: Chapter 27 Three Thousand Sets of Silver Equipment

However, having powerful troops alone is not enough.

"To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools," Fang Chuan pondered to himself.

Although his Goblin Tyrants were thick-skinned and sturdy, they were only wearing the crudest iron armor, and the Goblin Arrow Kings were wearing nothing but leather armor; if they were to encounter truly formidable opponents, their defense would be a major problem.

There are many types of ferocious beasts in the Divine Kingdom world, but they are all classified according to bloodline rank, corresponding to the talent levels of believers: Black Iron, Silver, Gold, King-level, and Emperor-level!

The stronger the bloodline rank of a ferocious beast, the more terrifying the leap in combat power!

Within the same rank, Silver is three to five times stronger than Black Iron! Gold is more than ten times stronger than Silver!

The King-level is known as the Nation-Destroying level, with innate strength surpassing that of deities!

And the Emperor-level is the World-Ending level; each one is incomparably powerful, comparable to a Heavenly God!

However, many people might not even encounter the latter few types before reaching the demigod stage; most would consider themselves 'lucky' just to encounter a ferocious beast with a Gold bloodline.

Since he was well-off now and had more Faith Points than he could spend, he had to upgrade his subjects' equipment!

Thinking of this, Fang Chuan's consciousness immediately connected to the Divine Kingdom Exchange.

Fang Chuan directly opened the "Believer Equipment" tab.

Countless 3D holographic projections of equipment refreshed instantly, dazzling the eyes.

[Black Iron Battle Axe]: Strength +5, Price: 10 Faith Points.

[Black Iron Leather Armor]: Constitution +3, Price: 8 Faith Points.

...

These were all the lowest-level Black Iron equipment, with attribute bonuses that were better than nothing, so Fang Chuan swiped past them.

In the world of deities, equipment, like the bloodline rank of ferocious beasts, is divided into five major ranks: Black Iron, Silver, Gold, King-level, and Emperor-level.

Black Iron equipment is standard for novice deities, while Silver equipment is already considered standard-issue for core forces. As for Gold equipment, it is usually only obtainable in bulk by deities with aristocratic or military backgrounds.

Fang Chuan's goal was clear; he directly selected "Silver-level" and "Set" in the filter bar.

The page refreshed again, and the equipment that appeared this time was significantly higher-end.

[Silver Heavy Armor Set (Melee)]: Includes Silver Breastplate, Silver War Helm, Silver Leggings, Silver War Boots, and Silver Great Axe. Set Effect: All Attributes +200. After equipping, physical defense increases by 30%. Price: 10,000 Faith Points/set.

[Silver Ranger Set (Ranged)]: Includes Silver Leather Armor, Silver Hood, Silver Bracers, and Silver Longbow. Set Effect: All Attributes +200. After equipping, attack speed increases by 20%. Price: 10,000 Faith Points/set.

"This is it!" Fang Chuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the attributes of these two sets of equipment.

All Attributes +200! This meant that even if a Three-Star Follower put it on, their base attributes would instantly double!

Combined with the percentage-based defense and attack speed bonuses, this completely gave the bottom-tier troops the confidence to kill enemies above their rank!

Ten thousand Faith Points per set was practically peanuts for him, now sitting on 150 million Faith Points.

He currently had one thousand Goblin Tyrants, over four hundred and fifty Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers, and over fifty Four-Star Goblin Arrow Kings.

The ranged units added up to just over five hundred, and the melee units were one thousand.

"Then... let's start with three thousand sets," Fang Chuan calculated in his mind.

Besides these core elites, he still had several thousand Three-Star Followers in his Divine Kingdom; although their combat power was not as good as the Goblin Tyrants and Goblin Arrow Kings, they were still a force that could not be ignored. Buying more equipment would allow him to continue expanding his second-line troops in the future.

Three thousand sets, ten thousand per set, totaled thirty million Faith Points.

"Buy it!"

Fang Chuan did not hesitate at all; he directly entered "1500" sets of melee equipment and "1500" sets of ranged equipment into the purchase quantity, and then clicked confirm payment.

[Ding! You have successfully purchased 1500 sets of "Silver Heavy Armor Set" and 1500 sets of "Silver Ranger Set", consuming a total of 30 million Faith Points.]

[Deducting 5% bulk transaction fee, 1.5 million Faith Points.]

Watching the 30 million Faith Points evaporate in an instant, Fang Chuan didn't feel a twinge of pain.

What was 30 million?

With the Fortune Synergy, as long as he sent his army out to fight monsters, this investment could soon be recouped with interest. This was called investment, sustainable development!

As he confirmed the purchase, the space above the Divine Kingdom twisted, and immediately after, like a pouring celestial river, a torrent of equipment shimmering with silver radiance poured down from the void!

"Rumble—"

Three thousand sets of Silver equipment, circulating with cold magical halos, fell from the void like a cascading Milky Way, suspending themselves above the White Marsh City square into two massive silver sword-and-shield formations.

The biting cold light and divine pressure intertwined, illuminating the entire main city as if it were day!

This sudden miracle made the entire White Marsh City boil with excitement.

Countless Goblins who were working or living their lives all stopped what they were doing, rushed out of their houses, knelt around the square, and prostrated themselves in worship toward the silver mountain in the sky.

"My God has bestowed divine grace!"

"Praise my God! What great power this is!"

"God! You are so generous!"

The power of fanatical faith surged toward Fang Chuan like a tide, making him feel that his divinity had grown a fraction stronger.

Inside the council hall, Fara and Yi also walked out quickly. Looking at the mountain of equipment in the square, even though they were Five-star Believers and knowledgeable, their faces were filled with shock at this moment.

Fara's huge golden pupils were full of fanaticism. It could feel that although this equipment was only Silver-level, the quantity was truly massive! Three thousand sets! Enough to arm their core legion to the teeth!

What kind of terrifying foundation does my God possess?

Yi, on the other hand, watched the small mountain of equipment quietly. On his handsome, otherworldly face, his cold, clear eyes also flickered with an unusual luster. He seemed to have already seen an invincible army, clad in strong armor and holding sharp weapons, slowly rising on the horizon.

"Fara, Yi."

Fang Chuan's majestic voice rang in their minds.

"Distribute this equipment, prioritizing the Goblin Tyrants, Goblin Arrow Kings, and Sharpshooter legions."

"By your command, my God!"

Fara and Yi both knelt on one knee, their voices filled with excitement and fighting spirit.

With this batch of equipment, they were confident they could sweep away all enemies for their God!

"All Goblin Tyrants, step forward!"

Fara's resonant voice rang throughout the White Marsh City square.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a uniform roar, one thousand Goblin Tyrants, over three meters tall with knotted muscles all over their bodies, walked out of the barracks with heavy steps.

Every step they took on the ground made the entire square tremble, and the aura of brutality and bloodlust on their bodies made the ordinary Goblins who came to watch tremble in fear, yet they couldn't help but cast admiring gazes at them.

This was the strongest heavy armored legion of the Divine Kingdom!

However, at this moment, this powerful legion, when facing the silver mountain of equipment in the center of the square, all widened their eyes, and their breathing became heavy.

Although they were not highly intelligent, they could recognize that this was equipment far more advanced than the tattered iron armor they were wearing!

"Go, put on the armor bestowed upon you by my God, and pick up the weapons bestowed upon you by my God!" Fara pointed at the mountain of equipment with its great axe, its voice tinged with excitement.

"Roar!!"

One thousand Goblin Tyrants let out heaven-shaking cheers, unable to restrain themselves any longer, and rushed up like a tide, starting to frantically grab the shiny Silver heavy armor.

The scene was chaotic for a while, but soon, under the reprimands of several officers, they lined up and began to receive the equipment in an orderly manner.

Thick breastplates were put on one by one, menacing war helms were placed on heads, and great axes flickering with cold light were grasped in hands.

When the last Goblin Tyrant finished changing gear and lined up in the square again, the momentum of the entire legion had undergone a heaven-turning, earth-shattering change.

Before, they were like a group of violent beasts.

But now, they were a truly battle-hardened army!

The silver armor shone brightly in the sunlight, wrapping their burly bodies tightly, revealing only pairs of crimson eyes. The great axes in their hands, taller than ordinary Goblins, had faint magical halos flowing on the blades, making one's heart run cold just by looking at them.

"So... so cool!"

Outside the Divine Kingdom, Fang Chuan watched this scene through the god's-eye view and couldn't help but shout in his heart.

This appearance, this momentum, it was simply perfect!
