A Great Haul of Troop Types: Noble Knights
"Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on what I do next." Lin Xu took a deep breath, took out a stick of Incense Fire Heaven Silver, and activated the Spirit Lamp Prayer Art. "I need a weapons craftsman!"
Heaven Silver vanished in a wisp of green smoke, and a vast consciousness slowly emerged, glancing at him.
A strange feeling jolted him. "The tribute is insufficient!"
Without hesitation, he took out the second ingot of Incense Fire Heaven Silver; still not enough, he continued to take out more.
After several consecutive sacrifices, accompanied by an inexplicable fluctuation, the summoning scroll quickly burned to ashes.
A few seconds later, five dazed-looking armorers appeared before us. The Great Will had instantly maxed out the summoning capacity; truly a value-added service!
"It really worked!" Lin Xu's eyes lit up. Although he had spent a full 50 taels of Incense Fire Heaven Silver for the designated summon, the gains were still well worth it.
Although these ordinary craftsmen are only of white quality, their value is comparable to that of cyan units, not to mention that they also provide targeted summoning services!
Without hesitation, before his great will had faded, he cast the Wish Art once more.
One Incense Fire Heaven Silver was consumed, and one summoning scroll after another was used.
A large group of craftsmen appeared in the square of the Daoist temple.
When the final summoning ended, a total of 560 artisans appeared before Lin Xu, including 195 armorers and 180...
185 blacksmiths; 185 architects.
Including those already existing in the territory, the number of armorers and blacksmiths has reached 200 each.
These craftsmen alone are enough to increase the territory's current weapons and equipment production several times over!
"There are still 12 cyan Random Summoning Scroll, 7 blue ones, and hmm~ there's even 1 purple one?" Lin Xu was deeply moved. "This must be Brother Li's support!"
Even a random purple summoning scroll is worth far more than most people can imagine.
"The one with the blue color is the corpse driver!" Without hesitation, he cast the Spirit Lamp Prayer Art again.
Compared to other troop types, the Corpse Drivers are the best fit for the current territory and can form combat power the fastest.
The best part is that, thanks to the existence of the Spirit Pattern Rest Room and the Corpse King, the Corpse Drivers also have good growth potential.
With the addition of the previous 31, the number of corpse drivers in the territory has reached 91, and this surge in numbers brings greater tactical value.
"Blue..." Lin Xu frowned slightly as he looked at the scroll in his hand.
Blue summoning scrolls can summon at most blue-tier extraordinary units, and expert-level craftsmen are also considered blue-tier.
Should we recruit expert-level craftsmen to inherit their profession, or recruit a batch of usable soldiers?
He glanced at the stack of blueprints in the box; the first page prominently featured a heavy crossbow for individual soldiers. He decisively repeated his plea, "I want the Great Qin Heavy Crossbowman!"
Compared to long-term planning, the territory currently lacks immediate combat capability.
This time, 500 taels of Incense Fire Heaven Silver were burned to complete the summoning ritual.
"Whoosh~"
Five burly men clad in iron-plated leather armor and wielding heavy crossbows appeared before them.
Clad in black armor and black robes, standing over two meters tall with robust physiques, these Qin soldiers resembled towering iron towers.
The heavy crossbow in his hand was over 1.7 meters long and wide, almost the same height as an average person.

Evaluation: The sound of the bowstring startles the clouds and tears the silk, the arrows fall on the mountains and rise and fall. Seven blue summoning scrolls summon 35 heavy crossbowmen.
"Good!" Lin Xu scanned the data panel with satisfaction. His highest strength attribute was close to that of a Dao Soldier. Although he was only at level three and just an ordinary profession, with a crossbow in hand, even mid-level extraordinary professionals would not dare to ignore him!
He saw this unit type on a forum; a lord who liked to show off uploaded a picture of his Great Qin Heavy Crossbowman, which drew envious glances from many.
But after just one more glance from him, the Qin warrior spawned in his territory.
Next was the last purple scroll. This time, he didn't hesitate and used it directly. "I want a noble knight!"
This time, it was 5,000 taels of Incense Fire Heaven Silver, almost emptying the territory's reserves.
"Whoosh~"
Five noble knights clad in magnificent plate armor appeared in the empty square. Their tall, dragon-blooded warhorses were fully armored, spewing black smoke with sparks from their nostrils as they trod effortlessly on the stone slabs.
The kite shield hung on the horse's back, facing the knight's longsword still sheathed at his waist. He held his slender, conical lance high, and a rectangular banner fluttered in the wind.
Sunlight shone on the curved plate armor, emitting a dazzling golden glow. The rider and horse, clad in their armor, looked like legendary heroes descending upon the land.
Knights are a noble profession in the West, and along with arcane mages, they are considered pillars of Europa civilization. They possess the ability to command armies in battle, as well as formidable individual strength.
When they charge, it's like a chariot crashing down, enough to kill an enemy of the same level in one blow, or even fight an enemy of a higher level!

Quantity, with a chance to give birth to an extraordinary source - Dou Qi Enfeoffment - Purple (Passive): Converts up to two cavalrymen into knight squires. Knight squires can reach the standard of a knight through training or combat, and are promoted to a formal knight after completing trial missions. Equipment: Magic-patterned steel longsword, knight's lance, magic-patterned kite shield, magic-patterned plate armor, dragon-blooded warhorse. Evaluation: The place where a knight stands is the boundary of his lord, and the point of his lance is the mark of law and glory. "I didn't expect to have the chance to recruit a knight..." Looking at the knight's attribute panel, Lin Xu's eyes lit up.
The beauty of this profession lies in the fact that they "lay eggs" on their own.
The core of the knight profession lies in "Enfeoffment," which transforms two cavalrymen into knight squires. Once these squire knights reach level 5 in individual strength, they can begin the advancement trial. Once completed, they become official knights.
Even a newly promoted knight has the right to recruit a knight's squire, which is equivalent to a training expert who continuously cultivates new blood.
Lin Xu summoned six scout cavalrymen from his territory, who then performed the Enfeoffment for him.
The scout dismounted and knelt. The knight drew his longsword and lightly tapped the recipient's shoulders with the side of the blade. "Swear to me, you are my squire!"
"I swear to treat the weak kindly, I swear to bravely fight against tyranny..." the scout cavalryman swore.
The simple Enfeoffment ceremony ended quickly, and with a flash of light, the scout cavalry's profession changed.
"My profession has changed to Knight Squire, and my level has dropped to level 1." Lin Xu glanced at it and immediately understood the mystery of the Enfeoffment ceremony.
During this process, the cavalryman's attributes and skills remained unchanged, meaning his previous combat strength was unchanged. However, he learned the knight's sword and shield techniques and, most importantly, the breathing method through the ritual.
