black wizard Zhu Peng

This is the team that Zhu Peng formed for himself in less than a year after he came to Zenda World. Although the sparrow is small, it can be said to have all five internal organs. The talented retainers are already outstanding enough.

咚咚

Someone knocked lightly on the door, and then Lier, dressed as a waitress, walked in.

Artiman and other vassals all nodded to her. With the increasing popularity of Rod Castor, even if this little girl is just the lord's underground lover, it is enough to be taken seriously, not to mention that Viscount Rhodes arranged her as a My own maid is responsible for serving my daily life, which is quite doting.

Chapter 39

"My lord, Tang Yalin from the Humboldt family and Ian Ye from the Camu family are waiting for you in the reception room below. May I ask where you plan to have lunch?" Zhu Peng didn't care about this, but it made Old John and other retainers feel very comfortable.

But when Li'er talked about those numerous noble ladies, the staff members in the room all laughed lightly "hehe".For a moment, Zhu Peng felt a little embarrassed.

In the past six months, the power of the Custer family in Fort Derper has grown crazily, and in the middle of it, there was a bloody battle with the nephew of the Marquis Zuber Leyland, who had just succeeded to the throne.

Under the joint attack of Zhu Peng and Earl William, the noble young man who had just inherited the Leyland family and wanted to prove his bravery to the world was defeated in a row because he chose the wrong opponent.

People start with goblins when they level up and practice. Fortunately, he found an abyssal demon in human skin at the beginning.

The newly promoted Marquis of Leyland was brought out of Wocheze with 150 Nord elites, and he was left alone when he retreated all the way back to Wocheze.

In the end, the poor heir failed to escape home under the city of Wocheze, and was shot by Zhu Peng under his horse. In the end, soldiers surrounded Wocheze and left after extorting a large sum of dinars.

Wouche said that the Leyland family had wiped out nearly [-] elite warriors. Even a powerful family would have been seriously injured. If it hadn't been for the attitude of the entire Nord Kingdom, Zhu Peng really wanted to try to attack the city. But in the end, I honestly withdrew after getting a large sum of dinars.

Jerber Fort is already good, and Wacha is good, but the strength of the troops in hand is the foundation after all.

After that battle, the overlapping speed of the three worlds gradually accelerated.

The frequency and number of undead and fantasy species in the entire world have increased significantly. The battlefield where a large number of battles died has become a place where undead, resentful spirits, and corpse puppets are rampant. Settlements and lairs of fantasy species appear from time to time in noble territories, and their The strength is getting stronger and stronger, and many aristocratic forces with insufficient strength have exhausted their last drop of blood in wars again and again, and in the end they were even captured by fantasy species.Those who can escape are considered lucky, and it is not uncommon for the unlucky family to become the rations of fantasy life.

Of course, such unlucky nobles are still relatively few after all. The Calradia continent was originally at war, and there are no nobles who have no foundation in force. Therefore, most families can still support it, and a small number of families are in constant wars. It is making rapid progress, but even among these few families, the Custer family of the Vaegir Kingdom is the most dazzling rising star among them.

It's not just about constantly clearing the fantasy species' lairs near Jerber Castle and Albuquerque Castle, and protecting the territory.

The Viscount Rhodes of the Custer family even accepted the invitation to attack in all directions to help other nobles wipe out the alien forces in the territory.Of course, on the surface it is said to be an invitation, but secretly they want to ask for laughing dinars, but no one will say it outright because of the dignity of the nobles.

Constantly tempered in blood and fire, supported by a large number of dinars, in the brilliant victories one after another led by Viscount Rhodes, the terrible military power of the Custer family is known to the world.

In troubled times, the winner gets everything and the loser gets nothing!

Because of the prosperity of shipping business, and because of the security environment in the territory, a large number of farmers abscond to Djerber Fort, Albuquer Castle, Mazan Village, and Jayek Village every day. The crazy expansion of the population means a rich source of soldiers. The Custers have money and a lord who can win battles and win battles.

When these conditions are superimposed, it is almost inevitable that the entire Custer family will rise rapidly and become stronger.

In the war of suppression, after using the Griffon scouts to fully investigate and understand the enemy's strength.

Zhu Peng often mixes low-level fighters in his elite troops, and repeatedly goes to the battlefield to see blood. The level of these low-level fighters naturally rises rapidly.Especially the world-renowned archer troops of the Vaegir Kingdom, as long as they continue to win with little or no damage, it is not difficult to accumulate high-level troops.

Strategic Level: Level 28

Various resistances: unknown

Talent: Defense +3% (Every time the hero level increases by 1, the defense of himself and the troops he brings will increase by 3%)

Specialties: Level 2 Leadership (morale +20), Level 6 Defense (Defense of the units you bring +18%)

With the continuous fighting, Zhu Gang's tactical and strategic levels have basically been supported. Adding the bonus of strategic treasures on his body, the defense power of the troops led by Zhu Peng is directly doubled.

Newly recruited soldiers are not easy to die. After a few rounds of bloody battles, they gradually become senior fighters. Now Djerber Fort has more than 300 senior fighters and more than 200 low-level fighters.

Riding the turbulent waves of troubled times, Zhu Peng allowed the Custer family to ride the wind and waves to directly possess the fundamental strength that can only be possessed by generations of wealthy families for hundreds of years.

And such an important minister of the future kingdom has not yet been married, so it will naturally attract countless families to offer beautiful and beautiful daughters.

Some of these aristocratic ladies downstairs are big aristocratic forces seeking a strong alliance, and some are simply here to offer their daughters to rescue.

So when Lier entered the room and said that there were ladies from big families visiting, Yatiman and the others looked at each other and laughed. It is true that there have been many farces recently. Refreshed the understanding of the lower limit of nobility.

"Master, you should also seriously consider the candidate for your future wife. The master is also paying attention to you. Finding a suitable family and marrying it can also make the Custer family stronger." If you suggest such a personal matter to the lord, only Old John, who has served the Custer family all his life, is qualified and will not arouse the lord's dislike.

In this regard, James, Momocha, Nabar and even Yatiman all paid attention to their own words, and accidentally intervening in the dispute over the family inheritance rights was no joke to the retainers.

However, Zhu Peng didn't want to have too many entanglements with girls in this world.

On the one hand, the inertia of the direct disciples of the Wudang Chunyang Sect is still affecting him, and on the other hand, it is also because the first pure yang essence is extremely precious.

The profound way of dual cultivation emphasizes the fusion of spirit and body, and the intersecting of spirit and flesh. Although this physical body is not my true deity, the woman who has obtained this physical body of pure yang essence will still gain huge benefits from muscle transformation and marrow washing.Therefore, Zhu Peng didn't intend to waste his soul and pure yang on a woman in this world who had absolutely no potential for promotion, no matter how beautiful and delicate her face was.

So in the past six months, even Li'er, who was well-behaved and obedient, and had almost completely lost herself in front of Zhu Peng, Zhu Peng didn't move, so how could he marry any random woman now.

"When troubled times come, I don't want to have only profit transactions in my marriage, and I can't let go of the government affairs in hand to find my love, so please tell my father and give me some time to think about it." My mind turned, Zhu Peng said so to Old John.Then, he turned his head and continued to ask Momocha:

"Do I remember, Macha, you reported to me yesterday, did you have any new discoveries in the territory? When is the time I arranged for the suppression?"

"Uh...it's this afternoon, I'm going to prepare the Royal Griffin Troop." Seeing the wink from his young master, Mo Mocha, who was born as a horse thief and was extremely alert, immediately saluted her chest, then turned and walked out.

But even Zhu Peng had to save some face for the ladies who came here to visit.

Viscount Rod Custer invited these ladies to go out with the army. On the one hand, he wanted them to see the world-renowned military power of the Custer family. illusion.Take a look at the equestrian abilities of the ladies during the march, which is the tradition of many ancient and powerful nobles in the Calradia continent.

The scale of wars on the Calradia continent is relatively small, not comparable to the large-scale wars in ancient China that involved tens of thousands to 10 people. Women's family members mixed in with the chaotic army are almost equal to courting death... In small-scale wars, accidental injuries It may be much lower, and whether to face a bloody war is the standard for many aristocratic families to choose a hostess.

Of course, such an ancient tradition is rarely followed by any family.

Chapter 40

In the current Calradia continent, although the traditional five-level arms of various countries are still the backbone of a large number.However, it is no longer the hole card in the hands of a truly powerful lord.

Soldiers are more expensive than fine ones. Although the inherent military system in this continent is already a relatively elite full-time warrior model, with the rise and fall of the magic tide caused by the overlapping of the three major planes, the advanced troops in the past myths, legends and epic stories have re-emerged. Step onto the stage of history.

In the confrontation between the Vaegircaster family and the Nordreland family a few months ago, Zhu Peng's powerful high-level troops directly blinded all the spies.

No one knows "Zhu Gang"'s heaven-defying talent and defense ability, which directly doubles the physical defense power of his troops. They simply think that these high-level troops are really so powerful!

The consecration of the sixth-level enhanced free knight into an elite holy knight not only has higher attack, thicker armor, faster running, and stronger endurance.

These heavy knights can even bless themselves with the "Blessing of the Holy Light" divine spell that increases defense and restores life through special prayers. Once a group charges on the frontal battlefield, the impact of the seventh-level enchanted heavy cavalry can almost tear apart any enemy on the continent. The offensive and defensive front of human arms.

They are the strongest and sharpest spears in the hands of the Custer family, and the highest level of arms so far.

The second is the fifth-level griffin beast, which is combined with the third-level infantry after being sanctified, and becomes the sixth-level royal griffin regiment that can shoot from high altitudes and dive down...Zhu Peng has not defeated Vigia for the time being The idea of ​​the royal family supporting the Custer family is just the name in the introduction of the arms from the source perspective:

Elite Royal Griffin Group, special skill: "Explosive dive", take off time is 20 seconds, after 20 seconds, it will descend from the sky, and dive and kill the enemies in a straight line.

Although it is obvious that you can shoot and kill the opponent's units from a long distance in the air, it seems silly to dive down and fight the enemy in melee, but in fact the killing effect of this stunt is bizarre.

Used well, even the sixth-level elite soldiers are more powerful than the seventh-level elite holy knights. The reason why they give up the advantage of high-altitude shooting and dive for melee combat is because the Griffin carrying fully armed infantry has limited physical fitness, and it is better to dive and kill close-range combat. Give full play to the value of arms.

The reason why this special effect is huge is because the herd of griffins flying at high speed has absolute initiative before their physical strength is exhausted on the battlefield.

The group of griffins and herds leaped over the enemy knights and infantry to pick out the enemy archers and charge them. They were simply killing machines for low-level archers. In terms of martial arts, they attacked the enemy's vital points quickly, ruthlessly, and coldly.

On the real battlefield, the sudden flank attack and the encirclement attack from behind have considerable attack bonus effects, while the Griffin regiment can choose freely. With a similar force, before these flying lions are exhausted, they often It has given a devastating blow to the enemy shooter force.

The fallen priests that Zhu Peng got from the tavern cannot be sanctified through the "broken star-shaped holy emblem" because they are lower-plane units, but they are themselves upgradeable units:

Fallen Priest: The fifth level of the lower plane has not been upgraded. It has a good attack ability, but its blood, defense, and speed are slightly weaker, and it can carry out long-range attacks.

Features: Furnace flames, summon negative energy flames to burn a large area of ​​enemy troops.The disadvantage is that the skill singing time is too long, requires the commander to accurately predict, and the cooling time is too long.

After enough battles and burning enough lives, all these fallen priests were promoted to become the hell priests of the sixth-level lower plane.

Hell Priest: A sixth-level unit in the lower plane. It has extremely high attack capabilities, and its blood, defense, and speed are not inferior to elite infantry of the same level. It can carry out long-range attacks.

Feature 1: Furnace flame x 2, summoning negative energy flames to burn a large area of ​​enemy troops.The disadvantage is that the skill singing time is too long, requires the commander to accurately predict, and the cooling time is too long.

Feature 2: Furnace fire shield, which can summon negative energy flames to protect allies. The fire shield improves the defense and continuously burns the surrounding enemies.

Compared with the fallen priest, the fire sea summoned by the upgraded Hell Priest is directly multiplied in lethality. Of course, if it is summoned but misses due to the commander's misjudgment, it will make people feel even more heartbroken.

Holding a flaming scepter with extremely high attack power against the other six-level troops in the mainland has no pressure. If you bless yourself with a furnace fire shield, it will be almost a massacre under the same number of conditions.

However, unless it is absolutely necessary or absolutely safe, Zhu Peng will not push this team of sixth-level units into the battlefield, and no one will be replenished if they die. This can be said to be a powerful strategic unit.

Just like the greatest value of the Griffin Group is for high-altitude reconnaissance, the greatest value of the Hell Priest is definitely not in melee combat.

At noon, the suspension bridge of Fort Derper was slowly lowered, and a large army set off.

Twenty-five elite holy knights mixed with twenty-five Vaegir knights holding large axes walked at the forefront of the army formation, followed by twenty royal griffins slowing down, twenty hell priests holding scepters and wearing robes, and ten The sixth-level elite swordsman who was promoted from the fifth-level professional samurai was followed by a total of fifty sixth-level Vaegir elite marksmen and thirty Vaegir fourth-level archers.

This 180-member army is close to being the strongest team in Zhu Peng's hands. Except for the last [-] Vaegir level [-] archers who are training, the rest are elite troops with almost no chance of promotion. This time Pull them all out, on the one hand, to show their muscles in front of the noble ladies who are following...or in front of the families represented behind them.

On the other hand, it was also because the target detected by Momocha riding the royal griffin this time was really strong enough, and if he didn't try his best, it might be difficult to gnaw it down.

No, even if he tried his best, the goal this time might be to knock off a few fangs in the old wolf's mouth.

However, it is not enough to clear up and suppress. The reason why the Djerber Fort, Albuquer Castle, Mazan Village, and Jayek Village, which are under the influence of the Custer family, attracted farmers from Vaegir and Nord to vote for crazy. The development and expansion is because the lords here are strong enough to protect the safety of the citizens.

If there are hostile forces in the territory and the Custer family as the lord is unable to eliminate them, it will be devastating to the lord's reputation.

Zhu Peng cherishes feathers very much, because he knows very well that it is not easy to establish a font size, but it is too fast to be destroyed.

"Sister Yalin, Viscount Rhodes is indeed as handsome and handsome as the rumors say, and these fighters in Jerberburg also look very powerful. Thirty fourth-level Vigir archers can be placed anywhere in the Snow Country. A regiment can serve as an elite, but here it is ranked at the bottom..." Ian Ye of the Kamu family is a pretty girl with a small round face. She is wearing a white low-necked dress today, showing her deep breasts. Deep cleavage, riding on a horse at this moment, occasionally showing ivory-like delicate white slender legs with the wind.She is obviously a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, but her words and demeanor reveal a kind of coquettishness and even debauchery... For many nobles, this girl is simply a gift from the devil.

In contrast, Miss Tang Yalin of the Humboldt family is a typical lady of the family. She is dignified and beautiful. At this time, she is wearing light female armor, which is more suitable for the military. However, such a lady is Getting along well with Ian Ye is not like the open and secret fights between the noble girls afterwards.

"A man who can lead his family to rise rapidly in this troubled world is of course different from the dudes you usually play with, but it is indeed rare for me to see such a strong army in my life." , Scanning the warriors who were carrying the equipment and running with the griffin.

They are obviously noble griffin knights, but they march like soldiers in order to save the energy of the griffins in daily life, and every once in a while, two warriors ride around the army on griffin beasts, showing awe-inspiring Discipline and extremely high fighting morale.

It's as if an authoritative leader can make subordinates work overtime willingly, while a leader without authority will forcefully suppress it, which will only bring complaints and low work efficiency.

Being able to formulate strict discipline and make the soldiers under his command prohibit and strictly abide by it, this already reflects the prestige and authority that Viscount Rod Custer has in the army.

While Tang Yalin was observing and thinking, the lair of the lower plane, Custer's ambush valley arrived.

Looking at this valley that brought two victorious rises to the Custer family, Zhu Peng touched his nose and felt that this place was really destined.The lair of demons in the lower plane that Momocha led people to scout is actually here, but it is normal to think about it the other way around... because too many elite fighters died in this valley, it is also very normal to draw the power of the lower plane to gather thing.

... Custer ambushed the valley, very suitable for ambushes, not good for reconnaissance...

Perhaps, it was because there were too many demons entrenched here, and the army under his command had just broken through the fog of war and bumped into a large group of demons who had just emerged from the valley.

Enemy General: Horned Demon Warlord;

所带兵种：魔婴50、魔童50、地狱犬50、歌戈50、人魔恶鬼50。

Your own general: Rod Custer;

所带兵种：精锐神圣骑士25、维吉亚骑士25，精锐皇家狮鹫20、地狱牧师20、精锐大剑士10，精锐维吉亚神射手50、维吉亚弓箭手30。

When he bumped into such a lower plane army head-on, Rod Custer frowned on his horse, but he was glad that Momocha's investigation was timely, and he dispatched troops quickly enough, otherwise such an army would definitely obey The lower plane troops of the "Three Lights Policy" wandered around in their own territory, and the losses in all aspects must be insignificant.

Just when the two armies were about to fight, the huge three-headed hellfire dog beside Zhu Peng's army suddenly jumped out. Those Cerberus dogs responded to Yan Xi's call and turned back directly.

"..." This is Zhu Peng.

"What the hell can I do? I'm also desperate!"

This is the horned demon warlord who was suddenly betrayed by his subordinates. When he went out, he ran into a strong enemy head-on, and then his subordinates directly betrayed him. This is no longer a tragedy, it is simply a tragedy.

In the chaos, one hundred devil infants and devil boys didn't know whether they were ordered by the general or their own wishes. They kicked their goat's hoofs, waved the wings on their backs, and rushed towards the human army in dense numbers.

Devil babies are crimson monsters that look like deformed giant babies. Except for the top horns, wings, and bipedal sheep's feet, they look like human babies... They are still a lot worse, and generally one is uglier than the other.

The devil boy is an upgraded unit of the devil baby. Apart from being a little bigger, the shape is basically the same.
