RoleplayNovel Chapter 26 The Pain of Not Having Money to Recruit
Chapter 26 The Pain of Not Having Money to Recruit
Jenova's arrows were faster than the cavemen and imps charging.
The arrow shot out through the air.
The next second, a member of the Mexican gang fell to the ground, his neck pierced by an arrow.
"Damn it, fire! Kill them!"
Scarface started cursing, and then a gunshot rang out.
The scene was in complete chaos.
Hammer, like Lin Mo, hid before the gun fired.
There's absolutely no need to engage in a shootout with the other side.
What era are we living in? Who the hell still engages in gunfights?
Lin Mo said that once he becomes a lord hero, he can wear any armor and bullets will no longer be able to threaten him.
The new era brings new ways of doing things!
Drawing guns and exchanging fire? What a bunch of bumpkins!
As for the battle, Hammer was not worried. Although the enemy had a considerable number of imps, they could not stack up and thus could not create maximum damage.
The only thing to be careful of is the opponent's level 2 unit, the Gog. Although there are not many of them, they are ranged attack units, and once focused on, they can deal considerable damage.
If Lin Mo were leading the opposing team, Hammer would definitely run away without saying a word.
But the people on the other side are a bunch of bumpkins; they don't know anything about tactics.
As a result, once the 28 cavemen, shielded by the imps in front, rushed in, the outcome of the battle was almost certain.
The cavemen and the enemy's little devils clashed in close combat, one spear at a time.
In close combat with the level 2 Gogs, one spear is enough to take them down.
It's impossible to stop it.
Only when the enemy's forces had been reduced by more than half did the Mexican gang members realize something was wrong.
"How can this thing be so powerful?"
"Oh no, it's charging at me!"
Screams mingled with muffled thuds as bodies were pierced. Fireballs flew wildly, one of which slammed directly into the car shelter where Hammer was hiding. With a deafening roar, the car door was not only pierced but also immediately ignited.
Hammer quickly moved to another place to hide.
The battle lasted less than two minutes.
Of the eighteen lesser demons Scarface brought, more than half were dead. All eight goggles were killed.
Of the six gang members, three were dead, and the rest were all wounded. Scarface, in particular, had his wrist pierced, and the pain was so intense that his facial features were dislocated.
He clutched his bloodied wrist, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with fear and rage as he looked at Hammer.
"You...do you know who I am?" His voice trembled. "Do you know who our boss is? If you dare touch us, you're dead!"
Hammer looked at the other person without saying a word.
He wondered what Lin Mo would do if he were here.
killed.
To prevent future troubles.
Hammer raised his shotgun and aimed it at Scarface's forehead.
Scarface's eyes widened: "No...no..."
Hammer pulled the trigger.
bang~
Scarface's body fell backward, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The remaining two gang members were also shot dead by Genova, and the enemy troops they brought were all wiped out by the cavemen.
After the battle, three of our Imps and two Cave Dwellers were killed.
The losses were considerable, but still acceptable.
These battle losses are nothing compared to the 'Guardian Tower'.
"Genova, can you take over this building?" Hammer also wanted to take over it himself, but he felt that it was best not to make such a decision without asking permission.
It would be most appropriate for Jenova to take over.
Without hesitation, Genova walked directly to the guard tower and pushed open the stone door.
Inside was a small room with various reliefs on the walls, including enormous Titans and great beings that looked like mages; it was probably some kind of narrative sculpture.
However, neither Jenova nor Hammer had the inclination to study this.
In the center of the room, a piece of parchment floats in the air.
Building title!
Jenova reached out and touched it.
[Guard Tower Discovered (Tier 2 Unit Building)]
[Condition for Occupation: Press your fingerprint on the land deed]
[After capturing the territory, you can recruit 7 Gargoyles each week (each costs 150 gold)]
Current inventory: Gargoyles x12
Hammer was somewhat excited after seeing the inventory.
If you have enough gold coins, you can recruit all 12 gargoyles at once.
It could almost immediately double their strength.
But he has no gold coins!
Hammer looked at Genova.
The latter saw through Hammer's thoughts and shook his head: "Don't look at me, I don't have any money either!"
What does this feel like?
Knowing there are good things available, but unable to buy them because of lack of money.
"Treasure chests, we need to find some treasure chests!" Hammer suggested, and Genova naturally had no objections.
Lin Mo's original task for them was exploration, including finding treasure chests.
"We also need to be wary of something else. The Mexican gang members have gone missing, and they will definitely come looking for them. There will definitely be another conflict with them." Although Hammer is a college student, he is very familiar with the way those gang members operate.
He recalled that one of his classmates had been kidnapped because he had borrowed money from the Mexican gang and hadn't been able to pay it back.
A few days later, the man's head was hung on the street, crawling with flies, as a deterrent to those who borrowed money and didn't repay it.
This kind of thing is not an isolated case, so even if you report it, it won't help.
Hammer vividly remembers this incident.
Besides what he had witnessed firsthand, there were countless other gang misdeeds he had heard about from others; it was practically a horror movie.
In short, this matter is definitely not over yet.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, riding his skeletal warhorse, had already covered three kilometers.
too fast!
This feels much more exhilarating than racing.
Most importantly, the skeletal warhorse, as a hero mount, will be able to "travel to other worlds" in the future. That is, once there is an "other world map", one can enter the real "game world".
That is the paradise for development and growth.
Besides riding his skeletal warhorse at full speed, Lin Mo did not forget the purpose of his trip.
Seek all available resources.
Just over ten minutes ago, he had already found at least two treasure chests, a wood resource point, and a stone resource point, and captured them.
The guards are mostly level one and level two creatures, and their numbers are small. Given Lin Mo's current overwhelming numerical advantage, they have no chance of stopping his advance.
Gold coins and various resources were gradually replenished.
But that's clearly not enough.
Once you have a territory, resource consumption will increase dramatically, and resource points that are too far from the territory are also easily occupied by other forces.
Therefore, occupying the territory early allows you to reap the benefits sooner.
Besides accumulating resources, a large number of battles and eliminations can also bring Lin Mo 'experience points'.
That's right, Lin Mo can level up after becoming a 'Territory Hero'.
He is now a Tier 1 Lord Hero.
Each level up grants corresponding four-dimensional attributes, and upon reaching level three, the first 'Talent Specialty' is unlocked.
This also depends on the attributes of the corresponding territory. Lin Mo hopes to obtain the "Soul Summoning Enhancement" so that the effect of his Soul Summoning will be multiplied.
This is also the key to forming the "Undead Army" in the future.
However, if we take a long-term view, although the "talent" of summoning souls is very strong and can snowball to increase troop strength in the mid-to-late game, it is not the strongest.
But right now, Lin Mo has no time to think about that.
He glanced at his hero panel.
The previous battles only increased the experience progress bar by about 15%, which is still a long way from reaching the second level.
"Take your time, no rush!"
Lin Mo looked away from the panel. The skeletal warhorse was galloping wildly through the streets of the post-apocalyptic world. There must have been other survivors who saw it.
However, Lin Mo didn't care.
I have to say, it felt pretty good.
Just then, Lin Mo noticed a huge building in the distance.
That thing looked exactly like a giant coffin.
