Ye Zi and Ba Fang, the two Awakened, also received the notification of mission completion, with Ba Fang receiving the ssage, "You have officially joined the Sweden Imperial Army faction."
The only pity is that the three of them are currently on Zealand Island, and the accumulated Military rit Points for the Sweden Imperial Army cannot be redeed yet. They have to wait until the end of the war, cross the Oresund Strait, and head to Sweden to convert their rits into benefits.
The three Awakened are quite conflicted at this mont.
It is obvious that capturing Copenhagen is rely the initial plan of this ambitious young Commander. There are more battles to co, which are excellent opportunities to earn rit points.
So, should they stay and continue to accumulate rit points for a substantial exchange later, or play it safe, quickly head to Mainland Sweden, and exchange the rits they’ve already earned for items?
The three of them quietly discussed among themselves, their eyes carrying a touch of reverence as they occasionally glanced towards the Danish Royal Court.
Sitting on the throne of the Danish Royal Court was "Marshal Dior Fulri."
Little did they know, at this mont, "Marshal Dior Fulri" was also receiving notifications from the Spirit Realm Will.
[Main Quest Step 1: The Mariti Lifeline is completed.]
[You have received a Vial of Blood of the Mad Lion.]
[Your reputation among the Sweden Imperial Army has increased by 1000, current Reputation Level: Adoration (13150/10000).]
"Completion of Main Quest Step 1 ans that the southeast sea routes of Sweden have been restored to normal.
This indicates that King Christian IV of Denmark has received intelligence about the attack on the Royal City and has abandoned harassing Sweden’s mariti trade routes, leading the navy here instead."
In Bai Pu’s mind, a map of the western Baltic Sea automatically appeared, not only with basic information like sailing routes and ship speeds but also ocean current directions and hydrological data such as wind speeds for the past two days.
The arrival ti of Christian IV’s naval fleet at Copenhagen Port was almost predictable in Bai Pu’s calculations.
"About ten hours and seven minutes left. Considering the leader’s mobilization capacity and the well-trained nature of the Danish navy, the margin of error is unlikely to exceed 30 minutes."
Bai Pu glanced at the three Awakened, who were still outside the royal court at that ti.
He raised his hand and opened the treasure chests obtained in this battle.
Two Golden Treasure Chests and four or five Blue Treasure Chests.
The Blue Treasure Chests mostly contained miscellaneous items. One chest, however, yielded a Blue Armor Shield, which was a pleasant surprise.
Luthor’s Golden Treasure Chest offered one chance of extraction, yielding a book of swordsmanship insights.
[Triangle Swordsmanship Draft: A draft recording Luthor’s insights into one-handed swordsmanship. After comprehending it, your proficiency in one-handed swordsmanship will increase slightly. Based on the user’s comprehension, there is a chance of unlocking a rare effect option when advancing to Level 7 One-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization. Remaining comprehension chances: 3/3.]
This slightly wrinkled little book should be the swordsmanship essence of Leader Luthor.
For Bai Pu and Blood Spider, this book isn’t particularly useful, at most saving so ti in practicing the One-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization. With the Holy Thorns (Replica) in possession, a modest increase in proficiency can be achieved in a few days.
Blood Spider already possesses the Advanced Level 7 One-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization.
Bai Pu doesn’t need it either; he already owns the Advanced Level 7 Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization with the special effect: Gale. Even if not reaching Advanced Level 7, Bai Pu doesn’t need the "rare effect" provided by this thing!
Because he comprehended two major Mystical Arts and will undoubtedly choose Mystical Arts effects during advancent to further deepen his understanding of Mystical Arts.
This is the downside of having advanced power—so good items produced by the Mid-level Spirit Realm no longer satisfy the needs of Bai Pu and Blood Spider.
Bai Pu then opened the treasure chest of "Iron Wall" Rudolph.
As an Enhanced Leader, Rudolph’s treasure chest was larger, allowing for two extraction chances.
Bai Pu directly proceeded to draw.
The first draw yielded a Golden Enhancent Crystal, a modest but decent outco.
The second ti, it was a brilliant golden gleam, resulting in a piece of equipnt!
[Iron Wall Knee Guards (Sealed)]
[Equipnt Quality: Hero Level (Golden)]
[Equipnt Slot: Legs]
[Equipnt Requirents: Basic Power 30, Basic Endurance 30]
[Attributes: Leg Armor 30, Fixed Reduction of 15 Points of Physical Damage; Power 3, Endurance 5]
[Additional Skill 1: Stable: Passive, the wearer gains a 20-point power resistance bonus during passive power checks.]
[Additional Skill 2: Enduring Endurance: Passive, energy consumption for the wearer is reduced by 15%, with a single-use maximum reduction of (15) points.]
[Durability: 50/60]
[Explanation: This is a plain piece of equipnt, but Rudolph is very fond of it.]
"What a great item!"
Bai Pu glanced at it and imdiately perked up.
The additional attributes are fairly standard for Golden Equipnt, while the first additional skill is like a bonus—since it boosts "passive power checks," aning when others try to knock back or repel Bai Pu, he gains checks in his defensive power.
If it increased power checks during active offense, stacking with [Tyrant’s Fury], it would be too powerful. But alas, if only.
The true value lies in the second additional skill: a 15% reduction in energy consumption!
It’s important to know that an Awakened at the advanced level, compared to a regular Mid-level Awakened, has a significant issue with energy insufficiency!
Not only do they expend energy to cast skills, but using Mystical Arts and basic attacks also requires energy for power enhancent.
For instance, Bai Pu’s "Shattering Mountain" Mystical Arts, currently at the advanced class level, consus seventy points of Blood River Fighting Qi in a single powerful burst!
Without factoring in the recovery of Fighting Qi, Bai Pu would exhaust his Fighting Qi after unleashing the Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts ten tis in full force during a battle.
Wearing this equipnt, Bai Pu’s full-frontal Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts will reduce energy expenditure to 60 points—a savings of 10 points of Fighting Qi energy per use.
Additionally, the large mana consumption of [Blood River Territory], though the savings ratio is modest, the cumulative savings could prolong the activation ti of Bai Pu’s Blood River Territory.
Without hesitation, Bai Pu replaced his existing [Basalt Guard Leg Guards] with these [Iron Wall Knee Guards], as the existing 6 damage reduction effect pales in comparison to the intrinsic value of the [Iron Wall Knee Guards].
By now, the three Awakened have entered the Royal Palace, indicating they’ve reached a decision.
"Lord Dior Fulri, we have decided to sail back to our holand—as Swedes, we’ve been wandering outside long enough. We hope you can write us a letter of recomndation, so that upon our return to our holand, we can join the military and contribute to our nation."
Misheng said on behalf of the trio.
Their apparent identity is that of Swedes away from ho—a tale spun by them, as the Awakened have a flexible moral compass, and their holand identity is equally adjustable. Should they encounter King Christina, they would pose as native Danes from Zealand Island.
