Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents

Chapter 387 - 84: Rejoice! The Emperor’s Sky Fleet Is Born

Therefore, Qin Feng felt no qualms about making the group of Sielo Knights, who had sworn their loyalty to him, a part of the Emperor’s Guard.

Besides, these Sielo Knights, who could only change their Profession after reaching 100% Loyalty, considered becoming part of the Emperor’s Guard the highest honor of their lives.

To them, being able to personally protect the great His Majesty the Emperor day and night was the most pride-worthy calling.

’Good.’

’A full one hundred Sielo Knights have officially become members of the Emperor’s Guard.’

’Let me see... aside from a significant boost to all their Ability Values, the Sielo Knights’ other Attributes, skills, and Talents remain unchanged.’

’And they can still combine with Demon Beasts like Desert Giant Wolves, Fire Foxes, and Gale Wolves to form more Powerful Winged Soldier Types.’

’The only restriction is that these Sielo Knights themselves can’t move beyond a certain range from me.’

’As for the other ’partners’ in the Winged Soldier Type—the Demon Beasts—they aren’t bound by this restriction and can be dispatched to other battlefields at any time for support or combat missions.’

After clarifying the specifics of the Emperor’s Guard, Qin Feng immediately turned his attention to the second step of his plan: forming a "warhorse" unit, which meant selecting and binding his remaining nine Mounts.

Among them, the Winged Dragon Beast that had been fighting alongside Qin Feng for several months took one slot without any question.

After all, it had been through life and death with him. Even setting aside its merits, its hard work deserved recognition.

Moreover, thanks to his Royal Dragon Cavalry Profession, Qin Feng could grant it the two Heaven-defying abilities, "Divine Gift - Passive Evasion" and "Divine Gift: Divine Speed," making it a perfect match for this already incredibly fast Winged Dragon Beast.

Of the remaining eight slots, one had to be reserved for the Kraken.

The course of future wars was unpredictable. If a troublesome naval battle were to occur and the Holy Empire’s main army found itself at a great disadvantage, unable to counter an enemy skilled in naval warfare...

...then if Qin Feng could instantly summon this Ocean Giant Beast with its hundreds of millions of Life Value to join the fray, he could immediately establish overwhelming dominance on the naval battlefield.

As for the other two Ocean Giant Beasts, Qin Feng decided to exclude them for now.

Firstly, the probability of future naval battles was far lower than that of land and air battles, so these three Ocean Giant Beasts would be useless on most battlefields.

Secondly, as long as he could rely on the Kraken to secure a temporary foothold at sea, he could have his Divine Chosen Villagers quickly construct a Gate of War. Then, using his Gate of War Talent, he could summon the other two Ocean Giant Beasts to the naval battlefield for support at any time.

This way, there was really no need for Qin Feng to waste two precious Mount slots on the other two Ocean Giant Beasts just to prepare for a low-probability naval battle.

As the saying goes, it wasn’t worth using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Afterward, seven slots remained.

The Ancient Giant Dragons had to take at least one of them.

In the Holy Empire’s army under Qin Feng’s command, they were practically the equivalent of strategic bombers in modern warfare. Their performance, both in terms of actual combat power and their ability to quickly stack the Bloodthirsty effect, was astounding.

Without a doubt, they were well worth converting into Exclusive Mounts with Infinite Resurrection.

However, considering that other Mount-type Demon Beasts were generally weaker, Qin Feng decided to allocate five of the slots to Ancient Giant Dragons, forming contracts with a Fire Dragon, a Thunder Dragon, a Wind Dragon, a Water Dragon, and an Ice Dragon.

As for the last two slots, he planned to save them for now, in case a more powerful Mount-type creature appeared in the future and he missed the opportunity due to a lack of slots.

After selecting seven new Exclusive Mounts, Qin Feng turned his attention to the third step of his plan.

He would completely replace and recruit all the Holy Empire’s top-tier Soldier Types.

He started with the Forest Sub-human faction.

The strongest among them were, of course, the Extraordinary Wolf Cavalry once led by Fenrir.

Whether it was Ratman Warriors, Tiger-man Warriors, Catgirl Warriors, or the various Extraordinary units from the Minotaur Kingdom, none could compare in combat power to this elite force of Extraordinary Wolf Cavalry from the White Wolf Empire.

So, it was a no-brainer to just convert them all into Extraordinary Wolf Cavalry.

Next was the second faction Qin Feng had conquered: the Gulad Empire.

Here, there was no need to consider keeping the Lionheart Knights, Holy Knights, Heavy Armor Knights, or Earth Dragon Knights. He could just replace them all with the "Divine Gift Royal Dragon Cavalry" from the Central Imperial Capital.

This was because the combat strength of this Flying Soldier Type was on par with the Ancient Giant Dragons that served as bombers, completely surpassing all native Soldier Types of this world.

Even the Wood Elf Army that Qin Feng had summoned from the Otherworld, despite possessing Legendary Level archery that could counter Flying Units, could not guarantee victory against an equal number of Royal Dragon Cavalry equipped with "Divine Gift - Passive Evasion" and "Divine Gift: Divine Speed."

Not only that, but since the Gulad Empire had the vastest territory and far more towns and cities than other regions, the scale of the Divine Gift Royal Dragon Cavalry army that Qin Feng could convert and acquire naturally reached an astonishing level.

Once all the Soldier Types in the entire Gulad region were converted into Divine Gift Royal Dragon Cavalry, Qin Feng would be able to recruit over ten thousand Royal Dragon Cavalry every week.

If he also factored in Long Zhongyi’s "Levy" Talent, which had a chance to shorten the recruitment cooldown, Qin Feng might even be able to recruit twenty thousand, or even thirty to forty thousand Royal Dragon Cavalry per week.

’Good heavens...’

’This is incredible...’

’This recruitment rate is just ridiculous...’

’Honestly!’

’This many Royal Dragon Cavalry!’

’I can form a genuine Sky Fleet!’

’Especially when you factor in those Ancient Giant Dragons, which are like Hyperion-class battlecruisers!’

’The Ancient Giant Dragons bombing from 500 meters up, with the Divine Gift Royal Dragon Cavalry escorting them and occasionally flying down to harass the ground forces... just thinking about it feels Invincible!’

After a moment of admiration, Qin Feng then converted and recruited the unique Soldier Types from the Ventecenia Kingdom and the Western Island Countries that he had subsequently subdued.

The strongest Soldier Type of the Ventecenia Kingdom was the Extraordinary Mage Master, without a doubt, so he simply evolved all the low-level soldiers into Extraordinary Mage Masters.

As for the Western Island Countries, their unique Soldier Types included "Pirates," "Vikings," "Berserkers," and so on.

Each Soldier Type had its own unique characteristics.

Qin Feng thought about it. He couldn’t really pick out a "Tier 0" Soldier Type that was completely overpowered, so he decided to just spread the benefits evenly and recruit a little of each naval Soldier Type. This would expand his naval forces as much as possible, allowing him to flex his muscles in any future naval battles.

Finally, it was time for the main event.

The eastern Dragon Realm. The Divine Chosen Soldiers that could be recruited here, besides the Ancient Giant Dragons, included Lizardmen of various Professions and intelligent Sub-dragon Race Demon Beasts.

Although the combat strength of the Ancient Giant Dragons was overwhelmingly Invincible, the Lizardman Priests possessed a Blessing Technique that could significantly strengthen them, and certain flying Sub-dragon Race Demon Beasts could become the Ancient Giant Dragons’ Enchanted Winged Soldier Type.

Thus, Qin Feng converted and recruited Ancient Giant Dragons, Lizardman Priests, and flying Sub-dragon Demon Beasts in an eight-to-one-to-one ratio, respectively.

When the time came, before a battle began, the Ancient Giant Dragons would first be strengthened by the Lizardman Priests’ Blessing Technique. Then, they would form a Winged Soldier Type with the flying Sub-dragons they had developed sufficient synergy with. Finally, they would soar 500 meters into the sky and relentlessly bomb the enemy forces on the ground.

Forget about the Eight Realms Alliance Army formed by foreign Lord Players; even the great army of the Evil God Players, who grew faster and were more powerful, would be unable to withstand the fierce assault of this super-legion that resembled a Sky Fleet.
