82: Chapter 82 Sharing Life and Death, Legion Skill

Upon returning to the territory, Lin Xiao immediately summoned the leaders of the four major Troop Types.

The leaders of the Troop Types were, naturally, designated by Lin Xiao.

They were all from the first batch of recruited Troop Types.

Very quickly, Wang Wu of the Black Armor Soldiers, Zhang Yu of the Dragon Cavalry, Gunn of the Frost Giant, and Xue Ying of the Wind Shadow Archer arrived with the utmost speed.

Lin Xiao didn't waste any words and directly activated his authority.

As 4 million slaughter points were deducted, countless rays of blood-colored light surged forth, instantly enveloping the four of them and forming four massive blood cocoons.

Gunn's blood cocoon, in particular, was over ten meters high.

Half an hour later, the four successfully completed their transformation.

"Thank you, Lord," the four said, overwhelmed with joy as they felt the immense changes within themselves.

Lin Xiao nodded and first opened the attribute panels for Gunn and Xue Ying.

[Gunn (Frost Giant)]

[Quality: Epic Grade]

[Tier: Tier 3]

[Physique: 18,000]

[Spirit: 19,000]

...

[Xue Ying (Wind Shadow Archer)]

[Quality: Epic Grade]

[Tier: Tier 3]

[Physique: 34,000]

[Spirit: 33,000]

[Cultivation Technique: Storm Spirit Transformation Technique (A-Grade)]

[Skills: Child of Shadow (A-Grade), Infallible Arrows (A-Grade), Eagle Eye (B-Grade), Gale Arrow (A-Grade), Wind Spirit Form (A-Grade)]

...

Gunn's Giant Bloodline had transformed into a High-Level Giant Bloodline, placing it on the same level as the High-Level Dragon Clan Bloodline of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

At the same time, all his skills had become A-Grade.

The originally weakest skill, Frost Armor, had also mutated into the A-Grade Frost Force Field.

This was an invisible force field that existed permanently on the surface of the Frost Giant's body. Any external attack entering the force field would suffer varying degrees of negative effects such as weakening, deflection, and deceleration. In terms of defensive effectiveness, it was far superior to the previous Frost Armor.

The new A-Grade skill was Ice Plains War Cry, a burst skill for the Frost Giant, with an effect similar to the Burning Sky Flame Dragon's Dragons Fury.

Clearly, after its quality was elevated to Epic Grade, the Frost Giant had leapt to become a top-tier Troop Type comparable to the Burning Sky Flame Dragon.

One was Ice-type and the other Fire-type; one pursued extreme destruction and lethality, while the other could both tank and deal damage, each having their own strengths.

Xue Ying's changes were not as astonishing as Gunn's.

His Cultivation Technique had changed from the B-Grade Wind Shadow Spirit Technique to the A-Grade Storm Spirit Transformation Technique.

All other skills had been upgraded by one level, and he had gained an additional A-Grade skill, Wind Spirit Form.

Wind Spirit Form was also a burst skill; once activated, the Wind Shadow Archer's firing speed would significantly increase, and at the same time, the attack power of the fired arrows would skyrocket.

The transformation of the Wind Shadow Archer was fairly standard, paling in comparison to the Frost Giant.

Yet, there was no look of disappointment on Lin Xiao's face.

The Dragon Clan and Giants were both top-tier Troop Types; by comparison, the Human Race Troop Types were indeed slightly inferior.

However, Human Race Troop Types had always excelled at group combat. Once they reached the Second Source Sea and unlocked the barracks technology called Military Formation Technique, they might not necessarily be inferior to top-tier Troop Types like the Dragon Clan.

...

The transformations of the Frost Giant and the Wind Shadow Archer were more or less within Lin Xiao's expectations. After reviewing them, he opened the attribute panels for Wang Wu and Zhang Yu.

[Wang Wu (Black Armor Soldiers)]

[Quality: Epic Grade]

[Tier: Tier 3]

[Physique: 21,000]

[Spirit: 15,000]

[Cultivation Technique: Mountain-Suppressing Earth Origin Technique (A-Grade)]

[Skills: Steel Bulwark (A-Grade), Sword Mastery (B-Grade), Block (A-Grade), Thousand-Jun Slash (A-Grade), Life and Death Together (A-Grade)]

...

[Zhang Yu (Dragon Cavalry)]

[Quality: Epic Grade]

[Tier: Tier 3]

[Physique: 22,000]

[Spirit: 17,000]

[Cultivation Technique: Abyss Sea Mad Thunder Technique (A-Grade)]

[Skills: Heroic Fearlessness (A-Grade), Steel Heavy Cavalry (B-Grade), Charge (A-Grade), Thunder Stomp (A-Grade), Thunder Spirit Form (A-Grade)]

"Life and Death Together?"

The new A-Grade skill that the Dragon Cavalry had gained was nothing special; it was a burst skill similar to Wind Spirit Form, only it utilized Thunder Spirit Energy.

However, the Black Armor Soldiers' new A-Grade skill piqued Lin Xiao's interest.

"A Legion Skill, it's actually a Legion Skill."

Lin Xiao was startled.

Life and Death Together required at least ten Black Armor Soldiers to be truly activated.

While the skill was active, their own defensive power would increase significantly, and they would then absorb all damage taken by friendly forces within a certain range, with this damage being shared among all the Black Armor Soldiers.

"This skill is quite interesting."

On the battlefield, taking damage was unavoidable.

When Lin Xiao voluntarily walked into a trap, he would inevitably suffer the enemy's most frenzied attacks, which was also the most perilous moment.

Even if he brought only Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types, all of whom were incredibly powerful with attributes ten times higher than the enemy's, casualties were unavoidable when facing concentrated enemy fire.

However, with the Legion Skill Life and Death Together, as long as these ten Black Armor Soldiers did not fall, Lin Xiao's army would not suffer casualties.

The Black Armor Soldiers' greatest strength was originally defense, and after upgrading to Epic Grade, their defensive capabilities were significantly enhanced.

Although not comparable to Zhong Yue, they split the damage among ten people, and after activating Life and Death Together, their defense skyrocketed, coupled with their immense strength.

Lin Xiao did not believe for a second that they wouldn't be able to withstand even the first wave of concentrated fire.

"They're the ones."

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. Although the Black Armor Soldiers lacked the boost from barracks technology and couldn't compare to the Frost Giant and the Wind Shadow Archer, he really needed this powerful Legion Skill.

The ten slots were immediately decided.

He decided against more; after all, on the battlefield, output was more important, otherwise, no matter how hard the turtle shell was, it would eventually be shattered.

There were 12 slots remaining.

The Dragon Cavalry were excluded first; they needed to charge into the fray, and while their survivability had been significantly enhanced, it was still too dangerous when facing concentrated fire from a large number of Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types.

Not to mention, they still lacked the boost from barracks technology.

What remained were the Frost Giant and the Wind Shadow Archer.

"Let's go with the Wind Shadow Archer."

Lin Xiao didn't hesitate for long and quickly made his decision.

The Frost Giant was indeed strong enough, but their attack frequency was slow, unlike the Wind Shadow Archer, who could clear the battlefield at the fastest speed.

The Wind Shadow Archer's greatest weakness was their relatively low damage.

Clearing out small fry was what they were best at.

Yet, in front of Wind Shadow Archers at Epic Grade with attributes over ten times higher and having activated Wind Spirit Form, Lin Xiao believed that most of the enemy's Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types would not be much different from small fry.

Next was to go on a killing spree for slaughter points.

Among the one hundred Prodigies, excluding Yun Zhiyue and the others who were besieged while upgrading their territory to Level 3, there were 69 people left; they alone would be enough to bring Lin Xiao over 200 million slaughter points.
