"The attributes of these 'Mingxiao Taoists' can only be described in two words.
Garbage!
Their equipnt is garbage, their attributes are garbage, and special skills... sorry, there are none!
Xu Yang had never seen a troop type without any special skills before.
You know, even the initial farrs in the Sky-reaching Tower have a 'Farr' troop type skill.
But these Mingxiao Taoists, they have nothing, paired with their utterly useless attributes and shoddy equipnt.
Garbage has never been a concern, as there is plenty of garbage in the Sky-reaching Tower, one or two more wouldn't make a difference.
However, as the final reward for a Second Order Dual Crown, being this trashy is sowhat unacceptable, especially since it is supposed to be on par with Immortal Spirit equipnt, or even Immortal Spirit Heroes.
Thus, Xu Yang imdiately started inspecting the details of this 'self-built troop.'
Although there isn't absolute balance in the Sky-reaching Tower, there is relative balance, everything has its place. It is not to say that everything is particularly worthwhile, but definitely has its value.
As the final reward of a Second Order Dual Crown, the fact that the attributes and skills of this self-built troop are so agerly feeble can only an one thing, its potential for growth is extrely high, inversely proportional to its initial attributes. This aligns with the rules and positioning of the Sky-reaching Tower.
Xu Yang opened the detailed description, and sure enough, there was more to it.
Self-built Rank: As a self-built troop, the Order and Rank of Mingxiao Taoists can be upgraded through combat, training, consumption of experience and resources. The current Order limit is First Order, Quality Rank limit being Elite.
Self-built Attributes: As a self-built troop, the attributes of Mingxiao Taoists can be improved through combat training and such, or even using 'Xu Yang's' Experience Points and Heaven-Connecting Coins for direct enhancent. The extent of growth depends on the Lord's personal attributes and the amount of experience points and Heaven-Connecting Coins invested.
Self-built Weaponry: As a self-built troop, Mingxiao Taoists can freely swap weapons in the 'Lord's Armory.' Lords can unlock armory equipnt through combat capture, manufacturing, and direct investnt. The higher the equipnt order, the higher the recruitnt cost and maintenance funds for the troop type.
Self-built Special Skills: As a self-built troop, Mingxiao Taoists can learn so of Xu Yang's skills and produce exclusive troop skills. The Lord can also directly expend Experience Points, reputation value, Heaven-Connecting Coins, and various resources to endow troops with skills.
...
Seeing the series of privileges for the self-built troop, Xu Yang finally understood why they were so trashy.
They were supposed to be this trashy; how else could they justify such authority?
Order, attributes, equipnt, skills, all could be independently enhanced and altered.
What kind of troops are these? They're clearly heroes under the guise of a troop designation.
Sure, one might not make much of a difference, but what about one thousand, or ten thousand?
As a Personal Guard Species, the recruitnt limit for Mingxiao Taoists is determined by Xu Yang's Commanding Soldiers limit.
With Xu Yang's current Charm attribute, Commander Skills, the Imperial Jade Seal, the King's Way, and various equipnt and skill enhancents, his Commanding Soldiers limit has already exceeded one hundred thousand.
This ans that even now, he could train up to one hundred thousand Mingxiao Taoists—ordinary heroes, Rare Heroes, Epic Heroes…
How they develop depends entirely on his training intensity; the more resources invested, the stronger this self-built troop becos.
Of course, this investnt...
Troop Order: First Order (Common)
Order Promotion Requirents: Currently can be promoted to Second Order. Promotion requires consuming one billion of 'Xu Yang's' experience points, fifty million reputation points, and fifty million Heaven-Connecting Coins.
Quality Rank Open Requirents: Currently, the Fourth Rank can be opened. The effect of the opening is determined by the resources invested; a minimum of ten million experience points, five million reputation points, and ten million Heaven-Connecting Coins are needed to open the Fourth Rank—Historical Battle.
"A glimpse into the leopard's den is enough to get an idea," from the enhancent of these self-built troop ranks alone, it was clear how massive the investnt into self-built troops was. Without a huge investnt, it was fundantally impossible to train them into powerful troops.
As with the ranks, attributes were the sa; every attribute point had a clearly marked price and required Xu Yang, the Lord, to expend experience points, reputation value, and Heaven-Connecting Coins for improvent.
Of course, attributes could also be increased through combat training and other thods, but the efficiency was undoubtedly lower than that of financial investnt.
Apart from rank and attributes, the weapons, equipnt, and special skills of these self-built troops were also quite unique and could be swapped and learned through "Lord's Armory" and "Lord Skill."
Xu Yang checked the Lord's Armory and found that it already contained nurous pieces of equipnt.
Yellow Turban Wand: A magic wand used by the Yellow Turban Mage; equipnt requirents: 30 intelligence, First-tier Mana LV5; swapping requires 2000 reputation points, 10,000 Heaven-Connecting Coins, 100 Spirit Stones.
Yellow Turban Robe: A magic robe used by the Yellow Turban Mage; equipnt requirents: 25 intelligence, First-tier Mana LV1; swapping needs 1500 reputation points, 10,000 Heaven-Connecting Coins, 100 Spirit Stones.
Yellow Turban Crown: ...
All were part of the Yellow Turban series of equipnt.
This was not surprising; the armory's equipnt needed to be unlocked.
There were many ways to unlock equipnt, including civilization grants, production from the territory, or obtaining them from defeated enemies. Just killing a certain number of enemy troops could add their equipnt to the Lord's Armory.
Of course, the most direct thod was still money consumption!
By directly purchasing the sa type of equipnt in sufficient quantities, it could be added to the armory for unlocking.
For instance, if Xu Yang wanted to equip his self-built troops with "Ancient Ingot Knives," he might need to buy a thousand or ten thousand Ancient Ingot Knives to fill the armory, then the option to swap to Ancient Ingot Knives would appear in the armory.
This was also a demonstration of the great potential of self-built troops, because theoretically, as long as you could fill the armory with enough Mythical equipnt, you could equip your self-built troops with Divine Equipnt.
A hundred thousand self-built soldiers ant a hundred thousand sets of Divine Equipnt!
Of course, this was sowhat impractical, as amassing thousands or tens of thousands of Mythical equipnt was perhaps more difficult than advancing to a Ninth-Order Lord.
Unless… you could produce and construct them yourself.
Compared to that, the "Skill Library" was much more lenient. As long as the Lord had the skills, they could be imparted to self-built troops through training and "money consumption," creating exclusive special skills.
With Xu Yang's current skill reserves, these self-built troops could theoretically generate dozens or even hundreds of special skills.
Of course, this was just theoretical. The special skills of the troops were restricted by Corresponding Rank and Quality Rank. A Fourth Rank Elite level Mingxiao Taoist could have only one special skill at most. To have more, one would need to enhance the troops' Quality Rank or expand the Troop Order.
In the end, it boiled down to two words—investnt!
Without a massive amount of resources and significant investnt, it was a pipe dream to successfully train these self-built troops.
"No wonder only Ninth-Order Lords have the authority to create their own civilization; below Ninth Order, it's simply unmanageable!" Xu Yang shook his head, his words laced with awe.
Although he was currently considered wealthy among Low-Order Lords, to train these self-built troops to match and obtain significant combat power, he still had to bleed financially and dedicate massive amounts of ti and resources.
And this was just the self-built troops. When it ca to creating a civilization, it was like a bottomless pit, which even Ninth Order Lords would find hard to fill.
But however difficult, it had to be filled. A self-built civilization and self-built troops were a symbol of power among High-level Lords. Forces like the Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace, Netherworld Tao Mansion, and Kunlun Immortal Realm, didn't each have their exclusive self-built civilizations and troops?
There was no choice but to suffer a bit more in the Demon Abyss!
