Sushingu's idea is to modify and upgrade the golden level weapons and equipment to enhance their effectiveness, thereby widening the gap between them and ordinary golden equipment while narrowing the gap with epic level equipment.
This is not a simple task even for the eternal knight empire.
It is very unrealistic to complete it in a short time.
After all, improving effectiveness often raises the forging difficulty.
It would be counterproductive if the difficulty ends up being higher than forging epic level equipment.
Therefore, finding a balance is necessary.
The modified and upgraded equipment should be stronger than ordinary golden level gear, but the forging difficulty must remain within the capabilities of golden level blacksmiths.
In addition to researching equipment, there are also various items with the most important being the magic energy cannon.
As the Empire's strength increases, the opponents they encounter become stronger.
And the epic level magic energy cannons are starting to fall short, unable to maintain the overwhelming advantage they once had.
Hence, they must be upgraded to legendary level magic energy cannons.
When that happens, a single shot could obliterate even a seventh tier powerhouse.
Of course, this is under the premise that they can hit their target.
With the keen perception and high mobility of a seventh tier powerhouse, it is nearly impossible to hit them unless the firepower covers the entire area.
To achieve firepower coverage, at least a few hundred cannons are needed.
Currently, the Eternal Knight Empire has hundreds of epic level magic energy cannons, but most are distributed across various cities and cannot be concentrated.
As for legendary level cannons, they have only just begun research a few years ago.
When results will emerge depends on luck.
So, not to mention legendary level firepower coverage.
They cannot even achieve that with epic level firepower.
Besides cannons, the Eternal Knight Empire is also constructing the Dark Magic Tower.
This is a magical tower that combines attack, defense, and buffs.
Dark Tower type special building level epic effect one energy attack.
Gather dark power to launch dark energy cannons.
Effect two, dark barrier.
Release dark power to condense a dark barrier to resist incoming attacks.
Effect three, dark descent.
Dark mages reside in the dark tower and temporarily merge into one, gaining energy enhancement during this period.
Note the minimum requirement for mages is extraordinary sixth tier.
It puts significant pressure on body and will.
They cannot merge for long periods.
The blueprints for this dark tower were obtained by Sushing Yu from a reward chest.
During this time, thanks to the ranking reward chests, he has acquired quite a few good items.
He keeps what is useful to him and trades away what is not.
After all, the members of Blood Dawn are highranking players who can also open chests and their levels are not low.
Trading with them is quite suitable.
And if there is no one interested in trading, it's simple.
Keep it as a trading item for the trading scales.
In addition to being immobile and having exaggerated consumption, the dark tower has almost no drawbacks.
It can attack, defend, and provide buffs, making it an excellent tool for defending cities.
With this dark tower, Sushi no longer has to worry about the safety of the cities.
Previously, while the cities had some defensive capabilities, they were just average.
Aside from some players from special races who could enhance city defenses based on racial traits, most players, including Sue Shingu, found the city defenses lacking.
Take the Eternal Knight Empire as an example.
Their cities cannot withstand their own attacks.
Even those weaker players can inflict damage on these cities if they seize the opportunity.
This is unavoidable.
After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers.
Everyone is busy improving their extraordinary ranks.
Who has the time to enhance city defenses? Unless the improvement of extraordinary ranks hits a bottleneck.
Normal players will not bother to reinforce city defenses because it is feudal.
Your defenses cannot keep up with the enhancement of others attacks.
Destruction is far simpler than construction.
Whether it is upgrading equipment or constructing special buildings, these are tasks for specific divisions.
So, what has the entire Eternal Knight Empire been busy with lately? The answer is infrastructure development, building roads, constructing houses, and establishing.
With plenty of resources at hand, it is natural to improve the happiness of their kin.
Moreover, repairing infrastructure, especially roads, not only facilitates the movement of the populace, but also aids in expanding territory.
After all, once the roads are built, it becomes easier for the Empire's army to move through.
As a result, the difficulty of troop deployment decreases and the Empire's influence expands.
Speaking of this aspect, one cannot help but mention the changes in the military.
As the warriors extraordinary ranks rise, the variety of troop types gradually increases.
Previously, the legions of the Eternal Knight Empire primarily consisted of heavily armored warriors with defensive characteristics, focusing mainly on defense.
However, things are different now due to varying characteristics.
The Imperial Army includes all kinds of troops.
Defense, offense, reconnaissance, high explosive damage, efficient area clearing, high-speed cavalry.
Various troop legions form the current Imperial Army, emphasizing overall capability.
However, this has also led to a problem.
The difficulty of command has increased.
Compared to the previous heavily armored army, commanding the current forces is clearly more challenging.
Simply put, the previous warriors were all defensive troops.
They could just push forward since the enemy couldn't penetrate their defenses, and they weren't afraid of dying, which provided a high margin for error.
Now, however, while the defensive capabilities of the soldiers are also strong, they are evidently not as robust as those of pure defensive units, and their survivability is lacking.
their margin for error has decreased.
This means that if command is mishandled, they could be severely damaged by the enemy in an instant.
Of course, this also means that if you seize the opportunity, you can similarly deal a devastating blow to the opponent.
Therefore, this army has very high demands for the commanding ability of its leader.
Fortunately, the current Eternal Knight Empire does have such a powerful commander space meeting.
Guided by the space stone, everyone returned to the domain of the old gods.
Mr.
5, Mr.
One, the indigenous youth, Cole, greeted a few people.
After several meetings, plus the fact that everyone was open about it, he had come to understand what kind of organization he had joined.
The gathering of gods.
The members of this meeting are all deities, eternal beings who control the life and death of all things.
Even the empire he currently belongs to does not have such great beings.
The others nodded slightly in response.
The robed youth, Mr.
Tu, Jeang Tao, curiously asked, "To what rank has your extraordinary status risen? I'm at the peak of the sixth rank, stuck at the seventh.
I feel like it will take a long time to break through," Cole quickly replied, showing a bit of frustration on his face.
Through the space meeting, Cole was able to grow rapidly, transforming from an ordinary slum boy into a renowned powerhouse in the area.
After all, his talent was not bad.
And the others occasionally gifted him small items along with sharing some relatively secret training information that would be withheld from ordinary people, making his growth quite normal.
Not bad.
Jeantown nodded slightly and smiled.
He had the most contact with Cole among the group.
Watching him grow step by step, he felt quite happy.
Mr.
5, I've gathered what you wanted.
Two eighth rank crystal cores and 16 seventh rank crystal cores, said the man in black.
Mr.
