Special Basic Unit, Hunter's Lodge

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining the mutated orange hero, Christian!"

It's actually her!

Back on Earth, the official channels released a High-Level Hero Manual.

It detailed the high-tier units that Human Lords could recruit in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

Within the Templar faction, in particular.

The best hero that had appeared so far was the Holy Light Fox.

This was a mutated hero, not only mastering Holy Light Magic but also possessing a Forbidden Technique.

Furthermore, she also served as a Templar Knight.

She was a rare unit capable of both ranged and melee combat.

The Lord who first recruited this hero back then.

Relied on Christian to easily become one of the top ten Lords on Earth.

Unfortunately, during a beast tide, he was surrounded by endless magical beasts.

He fought valiantly for three months before falling.

It was precisely his sacrifice that allowed the Lords on Earth to mobilize their forces and defend the passage.

Preventing monsters from the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield from flooding into Earth.

And Christian was the crucial factor that enabled the Lord to hold the city for three months.

"Christian greets Lord!"

"I shall use Holy Light and fire to expel the darkness of this world."

As the words fell.

A heroic maiden, clad in plate armor and riding a tall warhorse, materialized in mid-air.

Upon seeing me, the maiden leaped from her warhorse.

She used her greatsword to support herself and knelt on one knee, bowing to me.

Fang Yuan observed the maiden before him for a moment.

Compared to Lilith's allure.

Christian exuded more heroism and an aura of sacred inviolability.

This was the characteristic of Templar units.

Fang Yuan stepped forward and placed his hands on her to help her up.

"No need for formalities, please rise."

Then, he opened Christian's status panel.

[Name]: Holy Light Fox Christian

[Level]: LV1 (0/8000)

[Quality]: Orange Epic

[Potential]: One Star

[Carried Curios]: Shadow Demon Wolf Skull, Templar Guardian Badge, Mutated Source Crystal

[Attack Power]: 800

[Health]: 8000

[Stamina]: 8000

[Loyalty]: 85 (Greatly favors you; will betray if loyalty drops below 20.)

[Skills]: Holy Light Strike, Holy Light Shield, Pious Aura, Light of Resurrection, Holy Light Touch.

Generally, the attribute values of orange units were around 500 points.

They also typically had only four skills.

Christian surpassed normal orange units by 300 in stats and possessed an extra skill.

This was largely due to her mutated nature.

Moreover, her initial loyalty was also very high.

Reaching 85 points.

Regarding skills.

Holy Light Strike involved condensing Holy Light power and smashing it onto enemies with her greatsword.

Besides dealing triple critical damage, it also had stun and splash effects.

Damage dealt to evil and chaotic units could reach tenfold.

Holy Light Shield and Pious Aura were area-of-effect skills.

The former grants surrounding 10 units a shield equal to 2 times their current health.

The latter increases resistance to the spell attacks of evil and chaotic units, while also granting immunity to control effects.

The Light of Resurrection is just as its name suggests.

It can revive units that have fallen in battle in the surrounding area.

Including heroes!

Fang Yuan felt this skill was the most useful.

This way, even if an unexpected situation arose and his hero fell, he could still revive them.

However, only one hero could be revived at a time.

Ordinary units could have ten revived at a time.

But this was only the effect of the skill at level one.

As the level increased, the hero's skills would also become stronger.

As for the last skill, Holy Light Touch.

This skill seemed quite peculiar.

It could absorb the skills and attributes of units killed by Holy Light skills.

At the same time, it could also replenish his own depleted stamina.

This skill was one that grew stronger with each battle.

Its own consumption was also very high, almost draining half of his stamina with each use.

But if Christian could kill a high-level unit and then use this skill.

The effect would surely surprise the enemy.

Judging solely by the skills.

Fang Yuan felt that Christian was no weaker than a Gold Unit.

Each skill was top-tier, no wonder he was a mutated hero.

Coincidentally, he now had two heroes under his command and two barracks.

The Flame Mage was a ranged unit.

So Lilith would command them.

Christian's skills were more geared towards melee combat.

The Wolf Hunter would be handed over to him.

Once the scouting troops returned.

They could be sent out to test their actual combat effectiveness.

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment.

He assigned the Wolf Hunter to Christian's command.

At the same time, he said, "Christian, I am about to conquer the Gnoll tribe. The Wolf Hunter will be under your command!"

"From now on, you will lead them to fight for me."

Christian cupped his fists and said proudly, "The Holy Light is with you. I will conquer evil for Lord Fang Yuan."

After speaking, he mounted his horse and walked out of the Hero Altar.

To take command of the Wolf Hunter.

Watching Christian's departing back, Fang Yuan looked towards the Hero Altar again.

"This time I got incredibly lucky."

"If two items with incompatible attributes were placed together, the recruitment would most likely have failed."

"Wasting a recruitment opportunity."

"I must be more careful next time."

"After all, the number of hero recruitments is fixed. Failing once means losing one."

"The next recruitment won't be until level three."

"Currently, I only have one white-quality Curio left. At most, I can recruit a white hero. For now, I don't have any good recruitment materials, so I won't recruit."

"I'll wait for later."

Fang Yuan checked the map. The Wolf Hunters currently out scouting would take another ten minutes to reach their destination.

There was still time.

He happened to have four white Building Cards in hand.

Taking advantage of this time, he opened these white Building Cards to see what they were.

Fang Yuan had a thought.

Fang Yuan quickly took out four basic building cards from the package.

"Let's open them together."

Fang Yuan chose to open them all at once.

"Ding, you have obtained the Basic Wall Building Card."

"Ding, you have obtained the Basic Watchtower Building Card."

"Ding, you have obtained the Basic Spearman Building Card."

"Ding, you have obtained the Special Basic Unit, Hunter's Lodge Building Card."

Walls are defensive buildings.

They can enclose the territory.

If needed, he could even enclose the seventy acres of land outside his main city with walls.

However, Fang Yuan felt it was unnecessary.

Walls and watchtowers were more for external expansion and establishing strongholds.

The Spearman Building Card.

A white unit with weak combat power.

Its usefulness was practically zero.

In a one-on-one fight, it couldn't even defeat a white Gray Wolf.

And it was a melee unit.

It was cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

He didn't have many building slots.

He already had the purple barracks.

There was no need to build such a low-level unit.

He should just sell it.

On the other hand, the rare basic unit, the Hunter's Lodge, surprised Fang Yuan.

"Looks like my luck isn't bad."

"Even a random white building card can yield a rare unit."

"Let's see what it does first."

[Hunter's Lodge Building Card]: After construction, it can produce Hunters, who master skills like hunting and skinning, and can increase food for the territory.

Seeing its specific use, Fang Yuan thought.

"No wonder it's a rare basic card."

"For a Lord, food is very precious."

"Especially in the early game, when there's no stable source of production."

"Every upgrade consumes existing stock."

"If other resources run out, at most the development speed will be affected."

"But if food runs out, the heroes and soldiers under him won't have anything to eat."

"Their loyalty will plummet."

"With Hunters, I can guarantee a portion of my food supply."

"Although it's not much, it's better than nothing."

"Moreover, the skinning skill can yield high-quality fur, which is also an economic income."

The Hunter's Lodge was worth using a building slot for.

Fang Yuan didn't hesitate.

He directly chose to build the Hunter's Lodge.

He placed it outside the main city.

Soon!

"Ding, Hunter's Lodge construction complete, Prosperity +100."

He opened the building panel, and a simple wooden house appeared.

[Name]: Hunter's Lodge

[Quality]: White

[Use]: Produces the special unit, Hunter.

[Production Cost]: Consuming one population, one hundred food, and one hundred wood can produce one Novice Hunter.

"The production cost isn't too high."

"The main issue is the limited population."

"After all, my population is quite low now, only 300 points remaining."

"I'm not sure yet what specific roles these Hunters can fulfill."

"For now, I'll create ten to test the waters."

Fang Yuan quickly selected the Hunter's Lodge and produced ten Novice Hunters.

As soon as they appeared, they requested to go hunting outside the city.

Fang Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

And soon.

The Hunters brought him good news.

"Ding, you hunted a wild rabbit, gaining Food +5, Tattered Rabbit Pelt *1, Bloodstained Rabbit Fur *1."

Fang Yuan looked outside the city.

He saw ten Hunters surrounding a rabbit, shooting arrows at it.

They killed it, which looked like a hedgehog.

"Uh, alright!"

"The scene is a bit grim!"

"But at least there's a harvest."

At the same time, Fang Yuan discovered that these Hunters also brought an unexpected surprise.

That is, any area they passed through would be displayed as explored on the map.

"Not only can they explore the map, but they can also increase food production."

"These Hunters are quite useful!"

"Upgrade!"

"Ding, Hunter's Lodge upgraded to Level 2, Prosperity +100."

After the upgrade, the second-tier Hunters produced.

Fang Yuan upgraded all of the original 10 Hunters as well.

Then he produced another 40.

Gathering fifty Hunters, they all went out to explore the map together.

The forest has abundant resources, including not only wood but also minerals.

With enough Hunters, the area he explores will expand.

He will also be able to acquire more resources.

Hopefully, the Hunters will bring some surprises!
