Chapter 123: Huge Profits From War, Huge Gains

Lune turned around and saw the face of the person who came. He was not surprised.

His senior brother, Lugard's senior brother, the Holy Knight Armand of the Empire.

As early as ten minutes ago, the mark left by Armand on his body began to heat up.

Lune knew at that time that the other party was on the way.

The reason why he dared to rush up and cut off the snake's head without hesitation was that Armand, who was about to arrive, was also one of his confidence.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really miserable, Junior Brother Lugard." Armand narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I have never seen you look so miserable, it makes people feel really happy! If possible, I would like to appreciate your current appearance, but the old man is urging me!"

As he said, he took out a palm-sized black box from his arms.

Just as he opened the box, something in the sky seemed to hear the call and quickly got into the box.

Armand put the box back in his arms and said, "The Samurai Soul Box can collect broken souls and life sources and maintain their existence. In simple terms, it is a 'refrigerator'. Collecting the remaining soul of Lugard can preserve the last glimmer of hope for his life."

"But the hope is not very great. It all depends on his luck."

Run shook his head, still in a bad mood.

After such a battle, he had too many things to digest in his heart.

There were countless casualties and bloodshed.

In the eyes of ordinary soldiers and elites, this war was extremely cruel. It was a partial victory in the history of Beloberg and a major battle in the history of the Good Sea.

Fortunately, the final result was not bad. Although the Hydra did not die, only two heads were left, and it was forced to lie dormant again by the seal left by the Emperor.

In a short period of time, the Hydra and its believers will not be able to stir up any big waves in the Good Sea.

The Good Sea will get a short respite in the war-torn empire.

It was completely "a complete victory in one battle".

But in Rune's opinion, it was not like that at all.

He was an insider of the plan, and even the final executor.

Among all the people, except Lugard and Chris, only Rune himself knew how much Lugard and Chris had paid for this plan.

The almost heaven-defying financial resources, the ancient formation, the divinity that Lugard nurtured with his own talent, and even the final sacrifice.

In addition, he used himself as a pawn to trigger the Emperor's seal.

With all these things added up, it was impossible to kill a Hydra that was seriously injured and lost most of its abilities at Sequence 2.

In the extreme case, it was only severely damaged.

Sequence 2 legendary creatures

It was almost like a shadow like a mountain, falling on Rune's heart.

A familiar reading of the history of the empire revealed that the Hydra was the pioneer of the benevolent father. It was just one of the generals under the benevolent father's seat.

In addition to the Hydra, there were many other generals under the benevolent father's seat.

And then there were other evil gods.

In this era of the return of the evil gods, Rune really couldn't imagine what a disaster it would be when these guys appeared in this world at the same time!

The emperor, as the first person in the history of the five oceans and seven seas, could only drive away the evil gods and seal the passage.

And now that there is no emperor, how should this world survive?

Rune didn't think about these things before because he didn't have the corresponding cognition.

It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes, heard it with his own ears, and cut off a Hydra's head with his own hands that he really understood the crisis.

He wants to become stronger.

Time is running out, he must become stronger!

"Lugard is powerless to deal with the Hydra. If it were you, senior brother, would you change the result?"

Rune suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Guess." Armand's eyes narrowed like crescents.

"I don't know." Rune shook his head blankly.

Armand said, "There is still a way to deal with the Hydra, but Lugard is a madman by nature, and no one can stop him."

"He is taking a gamble. If he can kill the Hydra, he will take this opportunity to soar into the sky."

"If he fails, it will be like this."

"You think the Hydra is scary now, just because you haven't reached the corresponding height. How long has it been since you stepped into the extraordinary?"

"It's less than a year, and you are already Sequence 7. Your talent is not inferior to Lugard, you just lack time."

Lun took a deep breath, shook his body twice, and then his eyes went black.

"Captain! You're awake!"

When Luen opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by white sheets and bedding.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and alchemical reagents.

Little Carter was at the end of the bed, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged, boredly reading a comic book.

Seeing Luen wake up, she threw the book and threw herself into Luen's arms.

Turning around, Armand, who was sitting next to him, handed him an orange. "How do you feel? Eat an orange. It's good for your health."

Lune took the orange and peeled it silently.

"Orange is a fragrant fruit that can refresh the mind. I like it very much." Armand smiled. "But then again, you have been in a coma for three days. I also checked your condition. It's very bad."

He said: "The resurrection prop you used can reorganize your soul and body and retain all the characteristics, but it is not without cost. The resurrected body and soul are all in the most basic state. It is a big project to practice again."

"This will have a certain impact on your strength. It will be weakened by about 20 to 30%, but it will specifically affect your sequence promotion."

"If the body and soul are not perfect, the road to promotion is difficult."

"So don't be unscrupulous in the future just because you have resurrection items. As your rank gradually improves, the side effects of resurrection items will become more and more obvious."

"A helpless move." Lu En only replied with four words to Armand's words.

Armand straightened his golden hair and said, "Hey, don't take it too seriously. I'm just telling you that you should rest more and practice more now. A month will be enough to recover. But next, you have to prepare for promotion. consider."

"Having faced Hydra before, you may not need any more words or urging from me."

"You should have gained a lot from this battle, so digest it slowly."

Having said this, Armand stood up and said,

"Now that you're awake, it's time for me to leave. I still have things to do."

"Remember to eat more oranges, they are good for your health."

Looking at Armand's leaving figure, Lu En came back to his senses.

Little Carter muttered at this time: "Captain, this guy is a good guy."

"Oh? How to say it."

"During the days when you were in coma, he has been taking care of you, and even personally adjusted the medicine to recuperate your body. I watched your condition getting better and better!"

"Is this so"

After staying in the military hospital for two days, Luen left the hospital after completing the formalities.

In the Hydra Expedition, the coalition forces suffered a tragic victory, and all the major forces suffered heavy losses.

Especially Beloberg, as the main fighting force of the coalition and the principality closest to the Infinite Sea, suffered the heaviest losses.

Nearly three-fifths of the elite soldiers were lost.

Of the 70,000-strong navy and 10,000-strong elite force, less than 4,000 were left.

Less than a hundred of the first batch of elites who entered the conquest survived.

The loss of ordinary soldiers is almost half.

The defensive front of the Beloberg Principality shrank a lot at once, giving away large areas of disputed areas and border areas.

Several surrounding forces finally took advantage of it.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in the city is pretty good.

A tragic victory can still be regarded as a victory. Even if there is no joy on everyone's face, they will not be crying all the time.

After defeating Hydra, the surrounding economic and trade routes were reopened, commerce and trade resumed, and the vitality of the entire country also recovered.

While walking on the road, many soldiers saw Lu En and immediately put down what they were doing and saluted quickly.

Ordinary residents also looked at him with curious eyes. Some children saw Rune with eyes full of admiration.

Five days ago, after Lugard died, Rune beheaded the snake and was witnessed by countless people present.

He also triggered the seal left by the emperor, coupled with the formation base points he had previously arranged to support other formation base points, killing countless enemies.

"The rune who cut off the snake's head."

Now everyone calls him that.

The story of killing the snake has begun to spread throughout the principality, and his popularity and reputation are rising sharply.

This is a truly legendary record, so powerful that all previous records put together are inferior.

Some veteran officers never thought that they would be able to make such a feat in their lifetime.

There are even some rumors that Rune's head of a snake is likely to be engraved on the historical corridor of Beloberg.

In the past, those who were on top were at least major generals.

There's a good chance Rune will break this rule.

After accepting everyone's attention, Rune returned to the alchemy workshop.

Lysa, who was usually an alcoholic, rarely drank anymore. Instead, she kept practicing in the training ground, seeming to be comprehending something.

Little Carter joined in as soon as he got home.

It seems that after the Hydra conquest, these two guys have learned a lot.

Lu En himself is the one who understands the most.

"panel."

——

Name: Rune Graves

Path: Sequence 7. Ocean Disaster (lv.10)

Spirituality: 14605/14605

Spell Power: 30

Physical strength: 1300 (except for the physical arts department, normal sequence 7 is 300)

Mental strength: 500 (except for the spell system, normal sequence 7 is 200)

Identity: ① Notorious pirate ② Lieutenant Colonel Belloberg

Special: Rot immunity 20%

Reputation: Rune who beheaded the snake——

The properties have come a long way!

In the constant fighting, the spiritual value reached a terrifying 14605 points.

Compared with the upper limit of 10,000 points in Sequence 7, it was 4,605 ​​points more.

Each of these four thousand overflowing spiritual values ​​was killed by Lu En himself.

In the past, Rune had gained many benefits in the promotion sequence beyond a few hundred spiritual points.

This time, the spiritual value exceeded nearly half, and he was already looking forward to what changes would happen after his promotion.

Secondly, the physical strength has also increased horribly!

The physical strength of one thousand three hundred points has completely exceeded the normal strength of the Sequence 7 physical arts system.

Generally speaking, the basic strength of the Sequence 7 physical arts system is only about 500.

The basic physical strength of the Sequence 6 Taijutsu system is only about 800, and the strength of other sequences ranges from 300-600.

Rune's basic physical strength is already stronger than the physical skills of Sequence 6!

The only difference is the skills that can be practiced only at Sequence 6, and the experience and skills in combat.

But after all, he has only been extraordinary for more than 200 days, less than a year.

The strength of his mental power was originally only over 100.

However, in the final stage of the snake slashing, he triggered the Emperor's Seal, and was fed back by the Sword of Light transformed by Lugard, and also absorbed some of the divinity of the Hydra that was severely damaged.

It increased to 500 points, comparable to an ordinary sequence 7 mage.

Among the special attributes, there is an additional 20% of rot immunity, brought by the "Lugard Potion".

This rot immunity ignores all sequence differences.

In the future, it will definitely play a huge role in the process of fighting against the father's men.

So far, almost all the improvements on the panel.

Rune took a deep breath and continued to look down.

The next two points are the most critical. The trophy of the head of the slashing snake!

Two entries!

[God-ascending Long Step: Not Opened]

[Power of Controlling Water: Affinity of Water Element Increased to the Highest Level, Water-related Abilities Significantly Improved]

Chopping off a snake head, although not killing the enemy, can kill the enemy above its level, which also brings unimaginable benefits to Rune.

The ability of the God-ascending Long Step is solidified!

It is no longer a temporary buff effect, but a state that can be activated anytime and anywhere.

The price is [Soul Orb]!

There are five levels of Soul Orbs, and five stages of the God-ascending Long Step.

Using the Soul Orb of the corresponding color can open the upper limit of the corresponding God-ascending Long Step.

Then inject the required energy, spirituality/blood sacrifice/divinity, etc., and you can climb to the corresponding stage.

The power of this ability is needless to say, but Rune does not have the highest level of Soul Orb in his hand now.

Currently, he only has 20 blue Soul Orbs and 1 purple Soul Orb.

After thinking about it, Rune also had some insights.

Perhaps only the blue Soul Orb can be used to open the first stage.

As a permanent 20% attribute enhancement buff

The second "Power of Water Control" is a completely new ability after cutting off the snake's head!

The snake head that Rune cut off, His ability is to control water!

Some of the ability was absorbed by Rune

Originally, Rune's "Ocean Disaster" and "Tide Messenger" had the ability to control water. Now with the blessing of the power of water control, the strength has increased significantly.

Rune roughly estimated that if he used all his spiritual value, he should be able to control hundreds of thousands of tons of water at the same time.

That was a big tsunami.

However, this method of use is too rough. If you want to fully exert the ability of water control, you may have to learn the corresponding magic, scrolls, and formation abilities.

The two entries greatly enhance Rune's strength.

The rest is the spoils of war.

This time, Rune confiscated thirty-four storage items.

Including those of Carter and Lisa, there are a total of seventy-one items.

After sorting out the things inside, a total of:

160,000 gold coins, 12 blue soul beads, 516 ordinary artifacts, 121 ordinary relics.

12 epic artifacts.

Several alchemical materials, estimated to be worth 200,000 gold coins.

151 scrolls, more than 600 bottles of potions, estimated to be worth 100,000 gold coins.

Added together, the basic gold coin value is more than one million!

Not to mention the epic artifacts, which are so precious that they will never be sold.

No wonder people say that war makes money, this wealth comes too quickly.

It's a pity that Luen and his men only captured so much, and the bulk of it was divided up by various principalities.

But this is also very good.

These equipment and potions will be distributed by Luen and the other two later, and the rest can be sold.

It's a big harvest!

But just when Luen was distributing the equipment, someone knocked on the door.

After Luen opened the door, Major General Ores appeared at the door.

"Your secret mission, Commander Rune."

"Become a pirate."
