The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Unfortunately, Xu Lai had no way of seeing the specific effects of these god-level specializations.

If he could see the specific results, Xu Lai would undoubtedly be able to make a better choice.

According to the normal effects obtained after upgrading other specializations, god-level defense should be able to reduce 60% of the physical damage received.

However, there must be some special effects, but I don't know how much improvement these special effects can bring to defense.

As of now, the biggest improvement in defense lies in its own capabilities rather than special effects.

For others, a 10% increase may be enough.

But for Xu Lai, after enjoying Rena's 70% physical damage reduction, a god-level specialization only had a 10% improvement, which he was obviously not satisfied with.

Of course, the special effects of specialization will always become more powerful as time goes on.

The special effects of god-level specialization may be stronger than the first four special effects of defense combined, but it is hard to say whether it can make up for the 4% gap.

Even if it can be compensated, with Reina already in hand, it is obvious that the effect of the god-level defense technique will not be of much use, which is a big loss.

According to this line of thinking, choosing god-level resistance will actually be much less effective, because Reina also has a very powerful treasure in her hand, the Forbidden Magic Ball.

If you can't even release magic, then the effect of god-level resistance is almost zero.

Using spell scrolls to cast spells is, firstly, too costly, and secondly, spells are not affected by the hero himself, no matter how high your magic expertise and spirit are.

With this consideration, the two options that Xu Lai originally favored became inappropriate.

Xu Lai fights alone most of the time. It cannot be said that these two specializations are of little use, but it can only be said that they are not that useful.

In some important battles, Xu Lai would definitely gather a legion to fight, such as the battle with Muriel.

Such battles often involve life, death and the future.

In a life-and-death situation like this, if a rare god-level expertise cannot play a significant role, it would be somewhat unsatisfactory.

As he thought about it, Xu Lai put his focus back on god-level archery and god-level offensive techniques.

The Empire is a relatively balanced camp that is powerful in all aspects.

In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the infantry has heavy shields, there are crusaders, there are paladins who can resist, and there are brave knights with extremely strong charging abilities.

In terms of spells, the Empire has fewer mages than the Tower, but the Empire still has pastors and priests, and its magical power is only slightly inferior to that of the Tower and the elements.

In terms of long-range weapons, the Empire had long-range archers, armor-piercing crossbowmen, and the best-performing ballistas and catapults.

In such a camp, no matter whether Xu Lai chooses archery or offensive tactics, the effect will be very significant.

The long-range attack seems to be inferior to the Barrier, but Xu Lai has trained Giselle, a shooter who is more powerful than the Barrier shooter.

But he himself is not very good at leading troops with poor mobility. If it is a large-scale military operation, he probably will not occupy the position of corps commander.

This meant that even with his god-level archery skills, he couldn't cover too many archers, at most Giselle and her phantom archers.

It would be unlikely to gather 1000 Phantom Shooters in half a year. Even if it were possible, Reina would take some of them.

The paladins and angels led by Xu Zi are all experts in close combat, so perhaps it would be more appropriate to choose offensive tactics.

Xu Lai's heart was full of contradictions, but in this golden light, only his thoughts were moving rapidly. The others were obviously imprisoned and had no way to communicate at all.

If we can't even communicate, then naturally we can't provide any reference.

This is an opportunity for advancement that only comes once in the entire world, so it would not be excessive for Xu Lai to consider it seriously.

But he still had to make a choice. In the end, Xu Lai gritted his teeth and, considering his identity as the God of War, chose the god-level offensive technique.

[God-level Offensive Technique]: A god-level offensive technique that incorporates the power of the God of War. It increases the damage caused by melee physical attacks of the entire army by 65% ​​and activates the god-level special effect "Invincible".

Invincible: When the melee attack of your troops is strong enough to break the defense, the final damage will be increased by an additional 50%;

When the melee attack of your troops cannot penetrate the defense, 25% of the attack damage will be converted into true damage.

True damage ignores defense, armor, and damage reduction (including defense spells) effects, but can be blocked and dodged.

The improvement of god-level offensive skills is greater than that of ordinary levels. This level increases melee attacks by 15%.

Equivalent to 100 melee attack points, the ultimate offensive technique can be increased to 150, and the god-level offensive technique can be increased to 165.

The god-level offensive technique also has god-level special effects, making it invincible.

This special effect needs to be viewed from two aspects. The first is the environment that can break defense.

Since Invincible increases the final damage, it is necessary to cause actual damage after breaking the defense in order to obtain the increase.

Let's take the 100-point melee attack as an example. After being reduced by defense, armor, etc., if it can still cause 100 points of damage, then the final damage will be increased by 50%, a total of 150 points of damage.

But if, after breaking the defense, it can only cause 1 point of damage, then even if it is increased by 50%, it is only 1.5 damage.

Obviously, the higher the damage, the greater the increase.

On the other hand, there is a situation where the defense cannot be broken. In this case, as long as it is not blocked or dodged, true damage will be triggered.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if it is blocked, because blocking cannot completely offset the damage, it can only greatly reduce the damage.

In most cases, the damage after blocking is no longer able to break the defense, so it appears as if there is no damage.

But as long as the force is strong enough, it can penetrate blocking shields, weapons, etc. and cause damage.

After the true damage is triggered, armor, including the physical defense and defensive skills brought by physique, basically lose their effect.

The same 100 points of damage, if it fails to break the defense in the end, can cause 25 points of true damage if it is not blocked or dodged.

In some cases, this effect is even greater than the damage caused by barely breaking through the defense.

The attack power of the troops led by Xu Lai, even if including the combat griffins and royal griffins that he might bring with him, will not be low.

With full-level morale, the statue of the god of war, prayer bonuses and so on, and finally after upgrading the offensive skills, it is generally unlikely that there will be troops that he cannot break through the defense.

After looking through the information in the temple, he knew that there was a powerful hero in the fortress and the tower, each with the same talent as Reina and specializing in defense.

Their levels are not clear yet, but they are all representative heroes of their respective camps, especially the latter, who comes from the mage camp.

If they are level 40, it will just offset 70% of the damage. Even with so many bonuses, Xu Lai is not sure he can break the defense of the same level.

The attribute of true damage will probably have to be used on these two heroes. When facing other heroes, only the effect of the former is needed. Speaking of which, Xu Lai's Seraph and Archangel troops can basically kill instantly.

The final damage is increased by 50%, and its value can only be revealed when encountering a powerful enemy, such as Moril.

After making the choice and successfully upgrading to the god level, the golden light in the sky finally retracted into the sky bit by bit.

The residents of Qingfeng City who were awakened by the golden light went back to rest after being persuaded by security guards and municipal staff.

However, although Qingfeng City is becoming more and more lively, it is still relatively spacious after the expansion. Many sharp-eyed people can see the tall golden statue standing outside the castle.

The face of the golden statue may not be clear, but the posture and equipment of the golden statue clearly show that it is the patron saint of the empire.

Ordinary people like them are not qualified to get close and observe.

However, the priests of the temple, led by Elena, immediately came to the golden statue of the God of War and knelt down to pray.

At the same time, far away in the capital, under the cover of the Pope himself, several Knights Generals and Crimson Bishops of the Temple also gathered together.

The moment the golden statue of the God of War was erected, they, the highest believers in the Temple of the God of War, felt the will of the God of War almost at the same time.

Therefore, they all came to the Pope's residence without any prior arrangement, but the Pope was still in meditation at this time, so everyone just gathered together and did not dare to disturb him.

"If you all have a sense, then my guess should be correct. The will of His Highness the God of War descended just now because the statue of the God of War was erected."

An acquaintance whom Xu Lai had not seen for a long time spoke first and asked:
"I remember that our temple has collected the three major parts of the statue of the God of War, but I don't know who received them?"

Dur could naturally see the task list and reward list issued by the temple, but only the manager of the corresponding treasury knew the receipt record.

Moreover, they only know that the treasure has been taken away. Without the authority, they don’t know who took it.

Crimson Bishop Wright said: "Recipient, you should be familiar with Bishop Durr as well?"

"I?"

Wright nodded and said, "Yes, it was you who recommended him to us."

Dur was startled and asked in surprise, "You are not talking about that kid Xu Lai, are you?"

Wright smiled bitterly and said, "That's him. You just withdrew from the Western Empire, so you may not have had time to read the battle report from the Northern Empire in detail.

This little fellow is no longer the little lord he once was.

You and Aini were the ones who led him in the beginning, but some time ago, the guy you mentioned has already seized Aini's Konaston Castle."

Dur also smiled bitterly and said, "I have heard about the Northern Empire, but I don't have the time to find out about the facts on the grassland.

Xu Lai is a brave, responsible and kind boy.

The most important thing is that this guy seems to have some weird luck. I am not surprised at all that he has collected the statues of the God of War. "

"Now it's not a matter of whether you are surprised or not. If the golden statue of the God of War really fell into his territory, would the two Grand Dukes of Aled in the north and south be willing to let him go?"

Although the golden statue of the God of War is not an inherent symbol of the Supreme King, it has only appeared once on the Empire's side in thousands of years.

The Tears of Asha are divine objects that can only be condensed with the support of the entire world. When combined with any camp, it can make the whole camp prosperous.

But over the thousands of years, the Tears of Asha have gone through several cycles and have appeared in almost every faction.

But it seems that the only force that possessed the Tears of Asha at the beginning and was able to hold out to the end was the Aled family of the Empire camp.

The Tears of Asha are bound to the camp, and the generated statues are also bound to the city, but not to the individual.

Just like the statue of the God of War now, since it has appeared in Qingfeng City, no one can move the statue before the divine object moves by itself, even if it means destroying Qingfeng City.

But the fact that the statue cannot be moved does not mean that the city cannot be occupied. If the statue cannot be taken away, then just occupy the entire city. The powerful abilities brought by the statue will naturally be transferred to that force.

Before the walls of Qingfeng City were completely surrounded, no matter its scale or size, it could not be compared with the imperial capital Lionheart City, let alone the Emerald City.

But as long as the golden statue of the God of War is there, this city will be a hundred times more important than the Emerald City.

Even the imperial capital, without the protection of other big cities, is inferior to Qingfeng City.

"No way, are they going to start a civil war again at this moment when the empire is in turmoil and the survival of mankind is at stake?"

"Humph, civil war is nothing. When have those nobles and parliamentarians ever cared about the country and the camp? Don't they always have their own little thoughts?"

Another Crimson Bishop was about to retort when he heard footsteps coming from the Pope's meditation room behind him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but did not see the Pope. They only saw the Knight Commander of the First Order of the Knights Templar who guarded the Pope.

After the Knight Commander saluted the Crimson Bishops, he said in a heavy voice:

"His Holiness the Pope has received the oracle, but he is unable to convey it to you for the time being."

After hearing this, everyone became solemn, especially the Crimson Bishops and Knight Commanders who had left the Western Empire.

They knew very well that the Pope became what he is now just to protect them.

“The Pope has ordered Crimson Archbishop Dur and Crimson Archbishop Wright to immediately organize the congregants and priests and lead them to Qingfeng City in batches.

Knight Commander Lina and Knight Commander Pierce will lead their respective knight groups to provide escort in batches."

Durr's face changed when he heard this, and he asked, "Your Holiness, are you going to give up even the Holy Angel City?"

The First Knight Commander shook his head and said, "Of course not. The Holy Angels have been passed down for thousands of years, and we should live and die together with the Holy Angel City.

However, Qingfeng City is a holy place newly granted by His Majesty the God of War. We, His Majesty the God of War’s believers, naturally have the obligation to go to Qingfeng City to defend His Majesty the God of War and preach.

Therefore, once you arrive there, you do not have to go back again and build a new temple on the spot.

Also, His Holiness the Pope asked me to give you a special reminder.

Lord Xu Lai has already established contact with His Majesty the God of War. Qingfeng City is also Lord Xu Lai's territory. When you arrive in Qingfeng City, please follow Lord Xu Lai's advice."

After hearing the Knight Commander's instructions, Dur and Wright both smiled bitterly.

They were still discussing Xu Lai just now, but they didn't expect that the Pope would send them both to Xu Lai.

Even judging from the tone, they had to listen to Xu Lai.

The two Crimson Bishops could not afford to lose face, and the Lina siblings who were also named bowed without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
