"It's so boring. It's really annoying to sit and wait for the orcs to attack every day!" Roland was bored and lay on the top of the city wall, counting the bushes below the city. Now Roland felt like he was just sitting and waiting to die.
Every day was a day of high tension. No one knew whether the orcs would suddenly march to the city. The cities of Lothnir and Rapids were now brightly lit every night, and countless torches covered with resin were placed 500 meters outside the city to prevent sneak attacks by the orcs.
"System check-in..." Roland said weakly. The sign-in rewards during this period were really... crap! Yes, there was actually firewood! Roland had already earned enough firewood for the entire winter in the past few days...
"Sign-in successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Archer Skill Inheritance Statue!"
"Oh my god! It's shipped?" Roland immediately became excited.
As we all know, there are many different types of skills for professionals, such as basic skills and inherited skills. Basic skills are memorized skills that are engraved into your blood after you change your job. These skills are relatively mediocre for ordinary professionals, while the difference in strength between professionals of the same level lies in the inherited skills of each profession. These skills are usually passed down from various factions. For example, the Knight Temple in the city of Rapids in the game has the only knight skill on the continent - Rapids Braving! To learn this skill, you need to go to the city of Rapids to learn it.
In the game, the cost of learning the inherited skills of the soldiers is the biggest expense of each lord, and it is also a resource that various forces compete for.
"Let me see what skill it is?" Roland rubbed his hands excitedly, and put his consciousness into the system space, and found his own archer inheritance skill statue.
Multiple Arrows: Consumes a certain amount of Qi to condense into a Qi arrow, which splits into three after being fired. Requires a Level 2 Archer. (No cooldown)
Wild Shooting: Increases bow speed by 25%, increases stamina by 25%, and increases stamina recovery by 10%. Requirement: First-level Apprentice Archer. (Passive skill)
A stone statue of an archer as tall as a person appeared in Roland's eyes. Roland stared at the statue and immediately received information about the statue's skills.
"Oh my god! Archer's magical skill!" Roland was speechless after seeing the multiple arrows. This thing could be said to be an archer's magical skill! The archer's combat power mainly comes from the bow and arrow in his hand. Special arrows can multiply the archer's strength. The archer's skills really don't consume much battle qi, and skills that consume a lot of battle qi are even fewer. What the archer needs more is sufficient physical strength, so that they can shoot the bow more times.
Multiple arrows can quickly convert the archer's unconsumable fighting spirit into multiple combat power, so that the archer's fighting spirit will not become a decoration.
"I remember that the skills of the current Badaniyan archers are projectile shot, running shot, charged shot, swift hand, lock-on, and farsightedness!" Roland began to calculate in his mind.
The result was very frustrating for Roland. Except for Swift Hand, Lock-on, and Charged Shot, which required battle energy, the others did not require any. The combat effectiveness of the Badaniyan archers had not been fully developed. Among this series of skills, Charged Shot probably consumed the most battle energy.
"Looks like we need to build a Archer's Temple!" Roland stared at the Rapid City, looking for a location to build it.
The skill inheritance statue can only take effect in a temple or a specific environment. The temple should be the one with the lowest threshold and the most convenient. As long as there is an empty hall with a hexagram array engraved in it, the inheritance statue can be placed in the array to activate it.
Popular, simple, clear, convenient, fast, and most importantly, cheap! He already had an open position for an earth mage, and Ladir could handle the work of building the temple and carving the magic patterns alone. There was no need to find other activation methods.
Thinking of this, Roland called his personal bodyguard, Caslo, and asked him to notify old man Radil to come over to discuss matters.
"Did I forget something?" Roland looked at the crowded tent and thought quietly.
"System! Check the Rapid City!" Roland shook his head and stopped thinking. He felt that he should check the system page to find what he had missed.

Commentary: The solitary king led the remaining people back to their homeland and founded this towering walled city. The city's inhabitants were few, but everything was progressing well. The city's military was strong enough to defend it, but it still couldn't withstand the new darkness alone. The good news was that the city finally welcomed its own defense officer and political officer. Note: War had arrived, but the new king seemed unprepared.
Abilities: As the only territory of the Kingdom of Lagrang in Middle-earth, it attracts the remnants of Lagrang. The system will guide a wave of wandering Lagrang civilians to arrive every day, hoping that the lord can properly accommodate them.
Allows the recruitment of local civilians to train Flood Infantry.
"Oh my god! Damn it... I actually forgot about El Nino's Rangers in the south..." Roland suddenly felt a few black lines on his head.
So, in order to monitor whether the orcs had crossed the river, Roland sent his personal guards, including the Elnino Rangers, to set up outposts in the south. Now, the war was about to break out, and no one had informed them...
…
"Uh, I was too busy... I didn't have time to take care of them." Roland looked at Renault, who had a strange expression on his face, and blurted out a few words, not intending to admit that he had forgotten the fact that he had such a small army under his command.
"Puff! Hahaha!" Van Erwei couldn't help laughing when he saw Roland's flushed face. He could guarantee with the faith of the grassland elves that Roland had definitely forgotten about such a group of people.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it... Hahaha!" Van Erwei laughed again. This eccentric lord had actually managed to forget his own army. He was truly a breath of fresh air in the lord world! He didn't know what those weathered rangers thought when they learned they had been forgotten by the lord. The more Van Erwei thought about it, the happier he became.
"Your Highness, as expected, you can bring us new fun every day..." Renault's expression twisted. It was obvious that he wanted to laugh but couldn't. It seemed like he had been holding it back and was hurting himself...
"Laugh if you want to..." Roland covered his face, leaned back on the chair, and immediately gave up struggling.
…
After they finished having fun, Roland, with a dark face, ordered Raynor to send a knight to inform Elnino and the rangers to withdraw. These days of sleeping in the open air were hard enough, and what was even more outrageous was that they had been forgotten by their own lord...
"Sir Radil, I have a task for you!" Roland said majestically as he watched the wizard Radil enter the tent. He hoped that before the war, his archers could learn the inherited skills, so that with the help of the rain of arrows created by the Badaniyan archers, they would be of great help in both defense and counterattack.
