CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 246 TERRITORY BLACK AND WHITE KINGS - EPIC-LEVEL HEROES_2

If this is true, is the Knight King making a confession? Did he take off his heavy armor and put on white tights for himself?

Would the Knight King even confess?

Before Lin Rui could figure it out, Violet had already successfully advanced in the holy light.

"Knight’s Oath: The horns urge each other, the horses leap and wield spears; a distant salute to the Goddess, a close guardian to the King; as long as there is breath, not an inch of land shall be lost; corruption is hard to stain, treachery cannot harm; uphold chivalry, shine my glory."

Looking at the girl, beautiful in appearance and divine in temperament, bathed in golden light, Lin Rui was astonished and gaped, "What is this?"

Violet, holding a golden epic long sword, looked at Lin Rui and said, "I thought every hero must recite an oath upon advancing..."

Lin Rui wanted to cover his face; once there’s a simple-minded person, the territory would inevitably get peculiar.

But considering that Violet was learning the life of ordinary people and to spare her dignity, Lin Rui could only pretend nonchalance and said, "Hmm, your oath is pretty good. From now on, you two will be the domain’s dual kings of black and white."

"Dual kings of black and white?" Though calm, Violet raised her head curiously, meeting Lin Rui’s gaze.

"Black and white duo, twin powers of black and white, take your pick." You two with one in black tights and the other in white tights. One is the Dark Monarch, commanding a massive Undead Army. The other is King of Knights, commanding a large number of knights glowing with silver radiance. Even the first battle after rising to hero status was fought in coordination. Not pairing you two as a couple would be a disgrace to your aura. More critically, one is goofy, and the other is simple-minded, making a perfect natural couple.

"Oh, then let’s go with dual kings of black and white; it does sound nicer." Violet, indeed naive, didn’t investigate Lin Rui’s colorful thoughts, choosing adorably.

Lin Rui didn’t want to dwell on the topic any further and quickly changed the conversation by asking, "How is your advancement progressing?"

Violet immediately shared her [Heroic Body].

[Heroic Body: Commander +10, Root Bone +10, Soul +10, Life Value +100%, Spiritual Energy Value +100%, Resilience increased by 100%, Damage Reduction +50%, each injury has a 30% chance to foresee the enemy’s attack path within 0.5 seconds, successfully evading the opponent’s attack will enter Glory Time, during which the time line of enemy units near the hero will drastically slow and enemies cannot defend against any attack, lasting 1 second]

Lin Rui was directly shocked; what a bizarre trait.

Glory Time, directly altering the opponent’s timeline!

The opponent cannot block or evade any attacks from the Golden Pansy Army.

They could only rely on brute resistance. If it were a powerful BOSS, it would be fine; within a second, the knights, facing its enormous physical defense and spiritual resistance, might not be able to deal lethal damage and would have to carefully chip away.

But if it were a battle of equal strength, or against an enemy far inferior to the Golden Pansy Knights, once this Glory Time is triggered, it would mean instant victory, decisively shredding the opponent within a second and ending the battle.

Indeed, knights are most suitable for being at the forefront, charging into battle like heroes.

Violet then revealed her Commander Trait [Knight King’s Glory].

[Knight King’s Glory - Commander Trait: In the name of ’Lake’s Protection’, blessing life, guarding the fateful power of objects from various impurities, ensuring the Sword of the King remains unsullied. All soldiers under command gain Lake’s Protection, Physical Defense +150%, Spiritual Resistance +100%, and when having a shield, Physical Defense and Spiritual Resistance increase by 50 points per second. After the shield disappears, the additional boosted attributes gradually reduce to zero within three seconds. Slaying an opponent grants a layer of [Distant Ideal Homeland] trait, providing a layer of Sub-Invincible Shield, which completely withstands three attacks from the opponent.]

There it was!

Lin Rui revealed a joyful smile, the Distant Ideal Homeland.

This is Violet’s strongest trait capability; in fighting for justice, as long as Violet hits a target, she can enter a sub-invincible state, completely resisting thirteen attacks from the opponent.

And the soldiers under her command can also possess this ability, though the conditions and effects are relatively weaker.

Violet refreshes the sub-invincible state upon first striking a different target, while her soldiers’ condition is much stricter; they must kill a target to gain a sub-invincible shield. Moreover, the number of attacks it can withstand decreases from thirteen to three.

But that is enough!

The knights’ core capability has been structured.

During combat, they will frequently trigger the invincible shield. No matter how wildly the enemy attacks, they can’t keep chopping away.

A lot of damage falls on the sub-invincible shield, rendering it incapable of dealing any harm.

This inevitably leads to the manic enemy forces being driven to mental collapse by the consistent invincible status, roaring angrily.

Moreover, this trait perfectly complements [Strategic Treasure: Shield of Faith]. Under various shield and sub-invincible shield buffs, the knights’ sturdiness, toughness, output, and even recovery capability will greatly increase.

To know, the knights of the domain lack shields the least.

The most basic shield is a trait they have as Sun Flame Knights. With just twelve people, they can increase Physical Defense by 50%, and every 5 seconds, there is a 70% chance to obtain a 300-point spiritual shield.

Though listed as 70%, under the domain traits’ support, this trait can effectively be written as obtaining a spiritual shield every five seconds.

Although it’s only 300 points, after accounting for various defense reductions, damage deductions, and physical defense and spiritual resistance, inflicting 300 points of damage on a soldier is truly not easy.

They have over 700 fixed damage reductions, making it nearly impossible for any dense rain of bullets to injure them.

Strong close combat attacks, reduced by various defenses when hitting them, might only cause dozens of points of damage or even fail to break through the defense.

For an ordinary army, breaking this first layer of the most basic shield is not easy. After much struggle to finally break it, the Sun Flame Knights refresh a new shield every five seconds.

And remember, this is just the first layer of the simplest shield.

Their equipment itself carries thousands of spiritual shield points, which can be continuously enhanced by fertilizer to increase the spiritual shield limit.

Excessive healing from the vampire ladies also converts into an extra shield.

Furthermore, Holy Light Messenger and Lin Rui can continuously apply shields to all soldiers, almost ensuring all soldiers are constantly accompanied by a large number of shields.

Especially the Holy Light Messenger, whose skill [Divine Faith lv3: The Holy Light Messenger’s faith can guide divine power, casting a divine shield on all friendly targets of a squad, absorbing 20% of damage, lasting for 10 seconds, with a cooldown of 20 seconds.]

This is area casting, able to apply shields to a large number of soldiers.

Of course, this active skill requires both heroes and priests to invest a significant amount of focus and have extraordinary wisdom and will to continuously calculate and maintain.

In military operations, especially with such a sophisticated, combined elite force, command is naturally an art of war. That’s what these many heroes are doing.

To unleash combat power, one cannot merely charge in without thought.

For Lin Rui, assigning, commanding, casting, and blessing aren’t difficult, but passive continuous shield refreshing is certainly more reassuring.

Lin Rui then looked at his Sacred Treasures - sacred treasures giving a shield refresh passively to all soldiers in the domain; he really possesses one.

[Sacred Treasure: Ice and Snow Royal Court’s Extreme Cold Realm: Upon wearing, gains the Divine Frost Realm. Powerful frost and snow aura gradually causes nearby enemy units’ hearts to stop beating, reducing Attack Speed by 3% per second, Movement Speed by 3% per second, and dealing 0.3% of max Life Value in frost damage per second. When enemy units within the frost realm’s range have their movement speed decreased by 100%, they enter a bone-chilling state, enduring an additional 197 points of divine damage with each attack. Allies within the realm gain +20 Spiritual Energy Value per minute, and all gain a Frost Aurora Shield, resisting 1970 damage. Once the shield shatters, after staying within the aura’s range for 30 seconds, it will again coalesce. Each kill grants Spiritual Energy and Life Recovery Bonuses, restoring 20 points of Life Value and 7 points of Spiritual Energy Value per second, lasting for 7 seconds. (All values are affected by Wisdom bonus)]

The current domain range for this sacred treasure is only about one kilometer. If Lin Rui, as Su Ye mentioned, can expand his domain range to hundreds of kilometers, then the entire battlefield would be covered in the realm, allowing the domain’s soldiers to continually regenerate the ice shield on the icy battlefield.
