The Sword Immortal Returns, and Crisis Arrives

By simply changing their equipment, a knight's squire is formed.

Of course, at this point, the squire knight is only level one. He must train his combat skills and breathing techniques to gradually improve his class level until he awakens his battle Dou Qi at level 5, at which point he can unlock the advanced trial.

Lin Xu summoned five knights. Even though they were nobles, they were just soldiers spawned from the Spirit Realm. They were expressionless and instinctively obeyed orders.

These are all warrior class skills from the "Legendary" game, which were dropped from the Zombie Mine. Lin Xu specially taught himself a copy and realized that although there was no fundamental method for the related class inheritance, the seeds of extraordinary abilities were hidden within them.

Among them, "Basic Swordsmanship" can increase body control and better train muscle tissue. The accompanying swordsmanship is secondary. After this skill is improved, it is easier to master various weapons.

The "Attack and Kill Swordsmanship" excels at unleashing the ultimate power of muscles. Conversely, this sword technique can also greatly increase the probability of cultivating internal energy (Dou Qi). After all, the Profession Source Power is the ultimate exploitation of physical potential. Combined with the Knight's Breathing Technique, this will inevitably greatly increase the probability of advancing as a squire knight!

As for "Assassination Swordsmanship" and "Half-Moon Scimitar," they are simply applications of Dou Qi. One emphasizes piercing power, while the other enhances the purity of Dou Qi and increases attack range.

"It's a pity I don't have the Blazing Fire Sword Technique. You have to kill the Corpse King to get it, what a waste~" Lin Xu shook his head.

This sword technique is only mastered by high-level professionals. When a pure melee fighter comes into contact with magical power, he can combine magic and martial arts, elevating his warrior class to a whole new level!

The knights and squires used the skill books one by one as he requested. The squire knights, lacking mastery of Dou Qi, were unable to learn "Assassination Swordsmanship" and "Half-Moon Scimitar".

"Go on, I've prepared a training ground for you. From today onwards, you will live at the Knight Training Ground!" Lin Xu instructed.

While the knights were using the skill books, he had already prepared a special cavalry training ground.

The location is near the Outpost Barracks, and there is enough space here. Therefore, Lin Xu built the state-supported horse farm here and upgraded it to level 3.

The so-called Knight Training Camp was actually just a simple barracks. The Heavenly Craftsman Rabbit Demon had dug an underground passage and used spirit-patterned stone slabs to connect the camp to the underground city.

The barracks included a spirit rune rest area and kitchen specifically for cavalry and warhorses, as well as a spirit rune training ground covering approximately 10 acres.

The cavalrymen can undergo specialized training here and quickly recover their strength.

"Given the physical attributes of the squire knights, they might reach the peak of level 4 in just three to five months, and then they can try to advance."

He then looked at the 35 Qin heavy crossbowmen standing in the square.

Although they are a blue-class profession, and their unit level is one Outer Dao higher than that of the unorthodox corpse-driving craftsmen, the heavy crossbowmen do not practice any martial arts techniques.

This unit is highly regarded for two reasons: firstly, the powerful heavy crossbow, and secondly, the synergy of its four class skills, which elevates the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin Heavy Crossbowman to a whole new level.

"Your skill level is too low, you need to level it up as soon as possible!" Lin Xu frowned as he looked at the string of basic skills on the attribute panel. "Once we get back to your base, I'll equip you with the new heavy crossbows as soon as possible!"

Two of the four class skills can increase arrow reload speed.

Heavy crossbows already deal high damage, and once the skill level is maxed out, a volley of fire every few seconds can turn charging knights to dust!

The heavy crossbowmen's training range is located near the cavalry training ground. It also has a spirit rune rest area for rapid recovery, and the spirit rune training ground does not have to worry about the wear and tear on the targets, so shooting training can be carried out freely.

With a thought, Lin Xu opened a portal, allowing the knights and heavy crossbowmen to quickly return to camp and begin combat skill training.

The units summoned using summoning scrolls have only basic skills, which are not commensurate with their own strength.

Watching the soldiers pass through the portal and arrive at the training ground, Lin Xu composed himself and took out the remaining dozen or so blueprints.

These are blueprints for various weapons and equipment, including classic cold weapons such as the Mingguang armor, the goose-feather saber, the horse lance, and the Qing bow.

Compared to the basic equipment that comes with the blacksmith's shop, the weapons that come with these blueprints are at least of white-quality (excellent). If they are later enhanced with enchantments, their attributes will far exceed those of the basic equipment.

"These pieces of equipment must be put into production as soon as possible!" After a brief calculation, he directed the craftsmen in the square to work in different groups.

Armory craftsmen were assigned to weapons workshops to manufacture ballistae, while blacksmiths went to blacksmith shops to speed up the production of weapons and armor.

"These heavy crossbowmen..." Lin Xu frowned and thought for a moment before putting the blueprints away.

This green heavy crossbow is very difficult to produce; the artisans in the territory simply don't have the capacity to make it. Fortunately, there are currently only 35 heavy crossbowmen...

"Master!" A sword light ripped through the sky as Jiang Hanyan flew in on her sword and bowed to Lin Xu from afar.

"Hanyan, your body has recovered?" Lin Xu's eyes lit up. He noticed that the Sword Qi surrounding Jiang Hanyan was becoming increasingly sharp and agile. Not only had her previous injuries been completely healed, but her cultivation had also improved.

I glanced at her personal panel and sure enough, her professional level had reached level 7, and her agility and spirit attributes had both increased by 1 point.

"It's good that you've recovered. The territory is about to face a major war, and I feel relieved to have you here." Knowing her temperament, Lin Xu didn't mind Jiang Hanyan's silence and nodded with a smile.

The sword immortal silently rode her sword light and stood to Lin Xu's side; this was her designated spot.

Using his powers, Lin Xu "looked" at the entire territory.

After a period of development, the once barren territory has gradually become prosperous under his planning.

The weeds on the ground were cleared away in large areas and replaced by vast stretches of farmland.

Militia outposts are scattered along major transportation routes, and the patrolling militia teams implement the lord's will in the territory. The number of wild monsters that used to spawn in large numbers due to the vast land and sparse population has significantly decreased.

If this trend continues, the territory will be fully developed in just one or two months, at which point even the spawn rate of wild monsters will be reduced to a minimum.

"Time is too tight. If we had three to five years of stable development, Jiang Shiyan would be no problem at all!"

"Master, something terrible has happened! A horde of monsters is attacking!"

A telepathic message from Evil Eye Captain pulled Lin Xu back to reality. Through Evil Eye's vision, he saw a massive monster horde attacking outside the territory.
