Chapter 139: The Core of the Oath
In fact, the "Oath" template was originally invented by Jenn, and the core of its concept was very simple: to treat the entire dungeon as a strategy simulation game, which could blossom through guò and develop in an all-round way to achieve an all-round balance. Then, when a certain force is formed, it can be directly crushed by a large range of violent soldiers.
And the weakness of the "Oath" system is also obvious, that is, it is quite weak in the early stage, because the core of its template lies in the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, which means that players need to recruit at least one army of all attributes of "Abnormal", "Humanoid", "Natural", "Necromancy", "Divine" and "Dark" in the early stage, and then develop these armies in an all-round way, and wait until these armies are promoted to the middle stage and evolve into the Lair Lord, you can start the road of large-scale violence. And the complement between various attributes can also make it difficult for the enemy to find a way to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time, so that victory is naturally close at hand.
However, this is quite demanding for the player, due to the lack of initial resources, in order to be able to accumulate enough resources for the riot in the shortest possible time, then the initial army of each attribute can only summon one, if you summon one more army of the same attribute, then the time of the riot after the middle will be delayed a lot. And if the "Oath" system can't start snowballing in the middle of the year, it will definitely not be able to compete with other forces. After all, other dungeons only need to concentrate on climbing a core mode, but the "Oath" system is to climb all attributes at the same time, so it is very fragile before forming a chain.
It is precisely because the "Oath" system has high requirements for the player's operation level, so it is in the game. There are only a dozen people, including Jenn, who have mastered this rather high-end core cultivation method. But even they can't guarantee success every time, because the core template is just too difficult. If you need to train a core army in the early stage, you need to upgrade, and upgrading means that the army has to go out to fight. Fighting means summoning an army of brave men to your dungeon. So the difficulty lies in how to skillfully cause enough damage to the outside world without provoking too powerful brave troops to demolish the dungeon. Otherwise, one is self-defeating, and it will be a completely finished rhythm.
But that's where the excitement comes in.
Now in Jenn's hands, among the six attributes, the "necromancy" is occupied by the banshee, while the "anomaly" is occupied by the alien, and the rest are the four attributes of "humanoid", "natural", "sacred" and "dark". In the "Oath" system, the core of the player must be "humanoid", because only it can integrate the six-attribute army to the greatest extent, so that it can be fused into a unified combat power. Otherwise, the demoralization caused by the clash of attributes between the various races is a problem in itself.
But in reality. Jenn's consideration was more complex.
The army wants to eat experience, and the dungeon wants to plunder resources. But it is not enough to plunder blindly, and the robbers have not robbed more than a nobleman in a year. But the former is a rat that everyone shouts and beats, and the latter can not only walk on the bright streets, but also enjoy the worship and awe of everyone. This is the biggest difference, identity, status, position. It's as if any war has a righteous name. Whether it's for wealth or land, it's impossible to start a war and make yourself a "righteous man" without enough excuses.
Of course, Jenn could take the banshees and aliens to the ground to burn and plunder, but that would do him no good and might cause him more trouble. And because of that. It was only then that Jenn came up with this complicated plan -- he wanted to "disguise" his army as a righteous army, preferably one that had a great reputation in history but was long since perished. It has nothing to do with the gods and demons, and there is enough reason to reappear in the army. Humanity has never lacked war. And as long as you bring this army into it, you can enjoy upgrading and plundering resources in the midst of wars.
But it won't be easy. The first is that this army is "good-looking", and if you take a group of aliens to fight, no one will believe you if you say that you are a messenger of the gods. "Phantom beasts" are not good, although they are good-looking, but the dogma that non-our race must have different hearts is deeply ingrained in the hearts of human beings, although they are not less than killing each other, but in the eyes of humans, the biggest threat still comes from other races.
To put it bluntly, if Jenn leads an elven cavalry to destroy the human army, then all humans will think that the elves are an untrustworthy race, after all, they are not humans, so they have no feelings for humans. But if he goes to fight a civil war with a human army, then others will only think that it is a conflict of interest, and will not rise to the level of "racial discrimination". They might have applauded the majesty of Jenn's cavalry, and marveled at their slaughter......... Double standards can work really well sometimes.
The reason why Jenn is distressed is not because such an army is difficult to find, but because there are too many "spare candidates", from the Holy White Knights who disappeared after the Second Heaven and Earth War to the Heavenly Lords at the earliest early stage of creation, those legendary forces that left legends in history and died are really as numerous as stars. Time passes, one country after another destroys miè, one legend after another, proving with a lot of white bones that nothing is eternal.
Not only that, but the most troublesome problem is that the summoning is random, and it all depends on the character. So even Jenn didn't know what kind of humanoid unit he would summon. So he can't choose an "identity" in advance. Otherwise, if you get a heavy armored knight and summon a group of light infantry yourself, you will be blind.
"Has the problem of the expansion of the nest been solved?"
"Solved for now, master, but five goblins are too few, and we need more goblins to dig in."
"It depends."
Hearing Enoya's complaint, Jenn also sighed helplessly. In the game, the production of goblins is done by magic, which means that these little things are actually the product of the magic of the dungeon. However, now that Elise is not in the Great Library, the research on the fourth magic has not progressed. There were no other units under Jenn to dig holes. So I can only do it. Luckily, these goblins, as magical creatures, are still hardworking, even if they don't even get paid for their overtime, and they work 24 hours a day without thinking about going on strike.
Wherever it is placed, this is the most popular labor force of the capitalists...............
Come to think of it. Jenn retracted his thoughts, and then he opened the framework of the system in front of him.
【Dungeon Construction System】
【Castle Lord: Jenn】
[Level: Level 4]
[Development Progress: 1542/50000]
[Number of dungeon resources: ore (82100).] Mercury (71700), Gemstone (51030), Crystal (82850)】
[Special Resources: Sulfur (10280), Wood (500)]
[Subordinates: 127 people]
[Owns Buildings: Dungeon Heart, Study, Bedroom, Lair, Blackstone Watchtower, Prison.] Dark Temple, Forge Workshop, Great Library, Training Ground, Teleportation Door, War Chess Room]
"Tut-tut..............."
Looking at the doubling of resources in the system information, Jenn couldn't help but smack his mouth. I think that back then, I could only summon a banshee to support the scene for such a small resource, but now I can actually summon a core army, which is not a big change. But Jenn also knows it. Don't look at these resources now, the problem is that maintaining them also requires resources, treatment requires resources, and construction requires resources. Remediation also requires resources. These add up to tens of thousands in the later stage, even hundreds of thousands can't bear it. But now............... Although it is not said that he once turned over and became a millionaire, he can be regarded as getting rid of poverty and becoming well-off.
Come to think of it. Jenn retracted his thoughts, and he walked into the Dark Sanctuary. It was as if I felt the arrival of the host. The originally dim temple suddenly radiated a soft magical glow, and then the calm pond began to tremble. Along with gushing springs of water, huge stone hands stretched out from them and stretched out towards Jenn.
Nima didn't feel it when he was playing, but now it seems, why is this action so like asking for money?
Looking at the huge stone hand that opened towards him, Jenn twitched the corner of his eye. But he also knew that now was not the time to complain about this thing, or even if he did, it would be useless. So Jenn quickly put away his thoughts and concentrated on the stone hand in front of him, and soon, lines of system information appeared in front of Jenn's eyes.
[The dungeon master has been detected, has the summoning crystal been activated?] 】
[Please select summon mode: Normal summon / Large summon / Core summon]
Glancing at the line of information in front of him that exuded golden brilliance, Jenn couldn't help grinding his teeth, this system is really as cheap as in the game. Before, when he didn't have enough resources, he couldn't see the choice of core summoning at all. Now that he realized that he had enough resources, the system immediately released the core summons.
Select Core Summoning.
While secretly gritting his teeth and swearing that he would tear apart this damn system when he had time, Jenn made a choice.
Soon, with Jenn's choice, the Dark Sanctuary began to tremble, and the huge obsidian pillars began to flicker, and faint purple light appeared along the patterns on the floor, forming a gorgeous and mysterious pattern. In just an instant, what seemed to be a dark space turned into a dream-like and beautiful country.
[Summoning Crystal Open, please put in summoning materials]
On the surface, there is not much difference between Core Summoning and Grand Summoning, and both require at least four digits of resources to summon. It's just that the large summon summons a single hero unit, while the core summon summons an army. Therefore, the general player mode is actually to first use [Normal Summon] to summon a few monster squads to level up, and then wait for the dungeon to reach level 4 and then open a large summon to summon hero units to come and command. Then, after gathering enough resources, use Core Summon to summon a regular army.
Compared with normal summoning, the attributes of the units summoned by the core are naturally superior, and the number will be more. Normally summoned monsters are basically in groups of less than ten. Of course, the alien is an exception -- but it's hard to say it's a good exception.
The number of troops summoned by the core is larger, and of course, Jenn can also adjust the number to improve combat effectiveness. For example, if you invest an average of 5,000 resources, you can summon a 100-strong army with a two-star combat strength. However, players can also control the number of zhì and reduce the number of troops summoned to increase their combat effectiveness. For example, if the player reduces the number of soldiers summoned from 100 to 50, the combat power will reach the three-star level. Conversely, if the player wants to increase the number of players from 100 to 300, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will drop to one and a half stars.
"Master, what kind of army do you want?"
Looking at the way Jenn was deploying resources, Enoa, who was standing beside him, tilted her head curiously and looked at him. In the face of Enoya's inquiry, Jenn shrugged his shoulders. The resource allocation of core summoning is a technical job, and only when the stone silver treasure crystal reaches a certain ratio, it can summon combat units of a certain attribute. However, since it is necessary to determine the attribute unit while ensuring that its combat effectiveness is not weakened, this is a technical job.
"It depends............... I don't know, but I'd like to get a bunch of soft girls so that I don't have to be blackmailed by Clariss's guy, and ask her how many maids she wants......... Hmph, when I summon a group of cute girls, serve me at the dinner table during the day, serve me in bed at night, go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, I see what else that slut has to say about money! ”
While grumbling, Jenn glanced at his resource allocation again.
[Ore (7800), Mercury (8910), Gem (5600), Crystal (3670)]
Obviously, from the allocation of resources, it can be seen that this will be a core unit with a mixture of magical attacks and physical attacks, with medium constitution specificity, and there are indeed several such units in Jenn's heart. It's just that he doesn't know which one he can summon.
Leave it to fate, it's time to gamble!
Thinking of this, Jenn took a deep breath, and then he reached out and slapped the [OK] suspended in the air in front of him. (To be continued......)
