Chapter 922 - 119: New Holy Relic of Glory · Book of Prayer
The High Tier Divine Chosen Level Crawling Giant Spider was fiercely battled and slain by the Hesse Territory army, which indeed gave Su Li immense encouragement.
Before the battle, he did consider that their combat power had significantly improved, but did not expect the improvement to be this great.
Only more than 30 Dwarves and Knights were lost before this colossal monster was successfully taken down.
The losses were certainly not low; just the value of these personnel was over 6,000 Golden Crowns. If you factor in the armor damage, the consumption of numerous witchcraft items as well as healing potions and divine magic, this battle conservatively estimated a loss of 10,000 Golden Crowns, or if estimated higher, possibly even reaching 15,000 Golden Crowns.
So when it comes to war, the first shot fired costs a fortune.
Su Li is also of the mind that if he can avoid war, he will do so. Just a few hundred soldiers this time resulted in a loss of 15,000 Golden Crowns. What if the scale was increased tenfold? Wouldn’t that easily result in a loss of 150,000 Golden Crowns?
Not to mention how long it would take farming to earn 150,000 Golden Crowns, even earning 15,000 Golden Crowns requires 4,000 slaves working diligently, from morning till night, not daring to rest for nearly 2 years to earn that much.
To earn such a sum is as hard as climbing the sky. Yet spending it is like flowing water; a few hundred people go out for a spin, and in less than two hours, it’s gone.
But fortunately, this war from the beginning was carefully picked by Su Li, and indeed the gains are substantial.
After he had finished tallying the battlefield statistics for not long, Dorglin excitedly came to Su Li with the spider silk, reports with passion: "Lord, we found 25 pounds of Divine Grace spider silk inside this colossal creature. This is incomparable to the Anaric Empress Giant Spider silk. As materials of Divine Chosen Level, they result in a battle banner effect more powerful, and are also crucial for crafting various witchcraft items."
"Perhaps we will soon produce a batch of new Rare Level items and talismans."
The Anaric Empress Giant Spider silk can fetch as high as 1,000 Golden Crowns per pound, and this Divine Chosen Level spider silk is even more potent, certainly valued higher. This 25 pounds of spider silk could exceed 40,000 Golden Crowns in revenue.
Indeed, choosing the right target ensures abundant returns.
"More importantly, the materials on this Crawling Giant Spider are far beyond just this, with the poison gland sac and joint claws, these two precious materials can be used to create Divine Chosen Level weapons."
The size of this giant spider is truly immense, like a city’s dwelling, and its chitinous claws previously housed hundreds of spiders as big as war horses. Now that it has fallen, it surely provides plenty of high-value materials.
This will be handled by the Dwarves, responsible for dissecting and bringing back the materials, Su Li need not inquire further, instead asked: "Did you find the Holy Relic of Glory on it?"
Su Li quickly calculated that the last he acquired a Holy Relic of Glory was a long time ago, from the Sun Goddess Church - the Eternal Shield.
This was found when the Hesse Territory Knights explored an abandoned church, finding it amongst the remains.
However, this Holy Relic was more like a treasure for charging commanders, its first ability is providing [Solar Domination], when activated it creates a 50-meter radius Holy Domain which has a strong weakening effect on monsters of evil alignment, reducing their physical and divine resistance, and forces hidden units into visibility.
Another ability is [Faith Feedback], consuming the durability of the Holy Relic allows the user to obtain supreme power akin to divine blessing, even hundreds of cannon shots, and thousands of firearms cannot prevent the charge of the protected Knight; before the durability is depleted, no harm can be inflicted on the Knight.
Honestly speaking, this Holy Relic of Glory is strong, but obviously suited for the specialty of charging commanders, not for Su Li as Commander-in-Chief. After all, he wouldn’t be the first to charge in and draw fire for the entire army.
He feels it has been some time since he obtained a Phoenix Wing Talisman, a Holy Relic strengthening the entire army.
The last strategic-level treasure was the Dawn Secret Box, but that was a secret treasure of the Dawn Church, only effective for production and not beneficial to military endeavors.
He is quite hopeful to see a strategic treasure that can lead the entire army.
Dorglin shrugged, replying: "I haven’t seen a Holy Relic. Perhaps you can ask the Chief Steward, she’s personally searching for such things."
Just as he finished speaking, Hilude’s voice was heard from behind. This spirited Female Knight sheathed her Rare Level sword, casually halting serious injuries on her body, then calmly approached.
"Lord, mission accomplished, after thorough searching, we found a divine radiant treasure in the massive oral cavity of the spider."
Su Li did not glance immediately at the radiant golden treasure in her hand, instead he pulled this Female Knight closer, examined her carefully for a moment, and asked: "How is your injury? I saw you took a heavy hit in your Divine General state."
Hilude smiled faintly, saying: "Lord, I’m fine. Knights are inherently resilient, with excellent resistance to hits, and the Divine General state amplifies this ability dozens of times. Once the Divine General state is lifted, the wounds become mere small scars, and with the added effect of various potions, I will recover fully soon."
