The defensive battle of Usmail City has fully proved that in the face of this special group of enemies, let alone ordinary soldiers, even the rangers of the giant valley can play a very limited role. At most, they can only rely on Due to the geographical advantage, the cannon fodder of the withered ones can be wiped out, and the only thing left to do is run away in confusion when facing the demon tree.
In this counterattack, deep into the Demon Tree's lair, the situation is completely reversed, and ordinary soldiers can play an even smaller role.
Therefore, Gavin and the others were prepared to take the elite route from the beginning.
"The problem we are facing now is not those magic trees, but the withering and corrupting force that is everywhere in this withering and corrupting land. Our main trees and battlefield heathers are very susceptible to the influence of this evil force. Once they erode, we will be defeated without a fight.”
Archdruid Hanso looked at Gavin with expectant eyes and said, "Commander, what is the method of confrontation you mentioned earlier?"
This is the most embarrassing thing about these natural forces. As the main force against corruption, they have the worst resistance to corruption.
The Rice Order is fully aware of the existence of the Lord of Blight, but has been unable to eradicate it.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I have no choice.
The area he is in has been completely eroded by the withering power of the ancient evil tree Gantias. Not to mention the tree men who go deep into it and are easily infected by the withering power. Even those druids will lose their spellcasting ability when they reach the depths. He was severely suppressed and could not exert even 10% of his strength.
The Lord of Blight, who received a large amount of killing power and souls from Yamen Khan, has become more powerful, eroding the forest faster, and has a stronger ability to restrain activated plants.
Without using activated plants, there is no way to fight against the withered army led by the demon tree.
"I do have a countermeasure, but this matter is somewhat experimental. Whether it can be successful or not depends on your personal experience, Archdruid." Gavin replied apologetically.
"Something is better than nothing. Commander, just ask us whatever you need us to do." Han Suo was used to it.
The power of darkness and corruption has plagued natural creatures like them for more than a day or two. Even with the help of the power of the natural god Zhuan, they can only delay it, but it is difficult to completely eradicate them.
"Gather all the counterattack forces this time, I will try to guide them to establish a natural connection with a great being, and lend you her power to fight against corruption." The great being in Gavin's mouth is none other than Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
When it comes to fighting against the forces of corruption, the first thing Gavin thinks of is his biggest trump card.
Therefore, he captured a few blighters in advance and sent them back to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree overnight for experiments.
The results of the feedback are very gratifying. Although the withering power possessed by these blighters is a little more troublesome, in essence, it is still a kind of decaying power. The dragon oak mother tree was established by combining the divinity of decay, the dragon oak dreamland and its own powerful photosynthesis. The corrupt power purification system is enough to purify this dark power, but it is just a little slower.
The only problem now is that the Dragon Oak Tree still can't get itself out of the Fey Wilds and into the material plane.
To be more precise, the difficulty now is not lower than it was on the banks of the Dalauma River, but higher.
At that time, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree had not yet used divine power on a large scale. It was still in the category of ordinary creatures, and the repulsive power of the material plane was not that strong.
As the divine power is used more and more, this repulsive force becomes stronger and stronger. When the godhood is condensed and the god is officially declared, if you want the deity to descend, you can only do it by using special secret methods and paying a huge price. You can only send your own divine incarnation like those gods.
This is the law used to restrict the gods, and it also applies to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Since you are limited by your similarity to the gods, look for solutions from the gods.
Yes, it is faith.
It is an effective method to use faith as a bridge to lend one's power to believers in the material plane and let them complete tasks on their behalf.
The Mother Dragon Oak Tree wants to take a peek at the Decaying Priesthood, and this is the path she must take in the future.
This war with the Lord of Blight is a rare opportunity to expand the influence of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and enter the Decayed Priesthood.
"They are all waiting below and can start at any time." Under the leadership of Han Suo, the two landed directly in a dense forest.
Even though it has entered the dead of winter, this dense forest is lush and green, and is arranged in a very orderly manner, forming a huge circle, surrounding a large forest clearing in the center.
Gavin, who has a very close relationship with nature, recognized at a glance that the trees around him were not ordinary trees, but tree people in a state of taking root. Especially the more than 20 trees in the center of the circle were especially large in size. Strong and tall, they have broken through the super large size of ordinary tree people and reached the peak of giant size. They are all legendary tree people with more than twenty hit dice.
What caught Gavin's attention the most was the group of unique activated plants lying in the forest glade.
They have a shape similar to a lion, with a high bulge on the back and fluffy sideburns like a male lion. However, they are not made of real hair, but rolled vines and thorns. It does not have four legs. There are six of them, all shaped like the forelimbs of an orangutan, and the sizes are not exactly the same.
The front legs are the longest, slightly shorter in the middle, and the hind legs are short and thick, dragging a long trail, entangled with several vines, which are also covered with thorns.
The whole body is earthy yellow, like dried mud, and some of the vines are still green, which represents their nature as activated plants.
Thorns make up every part of their bodies, making them look very inaccessible.
Seemingly seeing Gavin's doubts, Archdruid Hanso explained beside him: "This is the Battlefield Heather and the Battlefield Piercer brought by the Archdruid of Night Arch. He has been working on them for these years. Research on domesticating such activated plants so that they can be used by nature and become powerful weapons against natural enemies has now achieved initial success."
"I have heard about this unique activated plant a long time ago, but I have never had the opportunity to see it. Today I am not only lucky to see it, but there are so many of them." Gavin looked at the battlefield heather with a strange brilliance that could not be concealed. .
These guys are basically alien versions of tanks. When placed on the battlefield, they are definitely a rampage killer. Just by rushing towards the enemy, the sharp thorns on their bodies are enough for ordinary soldiers to bear.
Unexpectedly, the Great Druid of Niteach was not only astonishing in his own strength, but also mastered this kind of treasure. Next, I had to establish a good relationship with him no matter what. If I could introduce this thing into my army, It will definitely greatly improve your military strength.
"Where's the Great Druid of Niteach?" Gavin couldn't help but look around, looking for the arrogant figure.
"There." Han Suo pointed at the largest Battlefield Heather.
Gavin took a closer look and discovered the clues. Although the Battlefield Heather was also crawling on the ground, his body was half-suspended, especially his huge front feet, which were supporting him. This created a large space under him. .
A figure sat cross-legged among them, surrounded by a large number of thorns. It was Netiyat who had made two attacks in Usmail City before.
He was obviously in deep synchrony, and the aura on his body was exactly the same as that of the surrounding battlefield heather. It was not so much that he was pulsating with the pulse of these battlefield heathers, but rather that these battlefield heathers entered the same frequency as him.
Hansuo couldn't help but explain: "The Great Druid of Niteach doesn't often deal with people. He is not very proficient in the communication etiquette between humans, and he doesn't care much. If there is any rudeness, please let me know, Commander." Forgive me, but his feelings for nature are extremely sincere, and he also agreed to cooperate with this operation. He asked the commander to start directly after arriving. As long as he thinks it is beneficial to nature, he will naturally join it."
"The Archdruid is really too outspoken. The Archdruid of Netyat has his true temperament, which is rarer than those humans who are full of lies." Gavin said with a smile, "Now that the main force has arrived , then I won’t go into too much detail, I will directly guide the power of that great existence to connect with you, and you can feel the specific situation for yourself.”
Preaching with words is something only intelligent creatures, especially humans, can do.
With these druids, especially the activated plants, they are playing the harp against the ox. The differences in species make their concepts very different.
Gavin, who has personally enlightened dozens of tree people, knows this very well.
In this matter, Gavin has deep confidence in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. She is an existence that even the forest goddess Melika looks up to and praises her. So far, among these natural races, she is invincible and has absolute power. The advantages are unquestionable.
"Please." Although the Arch Druid of Hanso was smoother than most druids, he was still quite limited, with a kind of old farmer simplicity.
"Okay." Gavin didn't waste any words and communicated directly with Ban Yueju, letting her land in the center of the forest glade.
Old faces immediately emerged from those ancient trees, and those battlefield heathers and battlefield piercers also revealed pairs of vivid wooden eyes.
Although these organs, like most of the activated plants, are just decorations, they are like a finishing touch, instantly transforming them from dead objects into living things that everyone can distinguish.
This means that all their attention is focused on Gavin and the others.
By the time he landed, Gavin had already put on an emerald green robe, a wooden crown on his head, and held the same emerald green dragon oak staff.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
This change of clothes gave him more or less the appearance of a spellcaster.
The emerald green robe and wooden crown, like the dragon oak staff, are special products from the dragon oak mother tree and are made of materials produced on her body. Their abilities are very specific, and they are used to strengthen Gavin and the dragon oak. The connection between the mother trees doubles the power of spells related to the dragon oak mother tree, such as guiding the power of life, and the light of dreams.
Gavin leaned the dragon oak staff on the ground and said in a solemn voice: "Great natural balancer, thank you for using your body as a decaying furnace to purify the decay and evil in this world and maintain the natural balance of this world. , now there are evil forces wantonly eroding this ancient forest and killing the kind people here.
I sincerely implore you to lend your power to these kind people and let them turn into sharp swords in your hands to fight against the evil and corruption here and restore the natural balance here. "
As the prayer progressed, the dragon oak staff, dragon oak staff and dragon oak crown became one, echoing each other, blooming with dazzling green light, reaching into the sky.
This emerald green light was the introduction. The next second, a thicker and larger emerald green light fell from the sky and hit Gavin with a bang.
Gavin's prayer was not just a pretense. Just like the prayers of priests and the spells of spellcasters, it contained magical power.
The more powerful those people are, the more powerful their language will be. After reaching a certain level, they will be able to follow their words. Every word can determine life and death, and every word may contain the ability to change reality.
The deities of those powerful gods have this ability, so the laws of the world have particularly strict restrictions on them.
Gavin's close relationship with the Mother Dragon Oak Tree does not require these cumbersome methods, but if he wants to promote the belief in the Mother Dragon Oak Tree, it is most appropriate to start with himself, not to mention that it will have a certain bonus to the use of his power.
With Gavin as the center, the vast vitality began to surge to the surroundings, including the treants of the Battlefield Heather and Lesser Forest. The purest life force washed the bodies of these activated plants.
Roar!
Those battlefield heathers all stood up involuntarily, and all the thorns on their bodies stood up, making them look more fierce and ferocious. They roared as low as a wooden rasp, which was not full of anger, but excitement. Wisps of black mist floated out from their bodies, and the vines on their bodies became greener, and some even grew small emerald green leaves.
The reaction of the Leisier tree people was even greater. They all entered the rooting state on the spot. The branches stretched out and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye. They grew green leaves, which all turned yellow in the blink of an eye. They fell without wind. The moment they landed, It has turned into dust and become their new nourishment.
In such a continuous cycle, the normal greenness on their tree trunks becomes more and more dense, and the sprouting and growth of leaves becomes slower and slower, which means that the withering power accumulated in their bodies has been purified.
The Lord of Blight has taken root in the Lesir Forest for many years, and the war with the Les Order has lasted for many years. The bodies of these tree men have more or less accumulated corrupt power, and now they have all been purified.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree directly granted these activated plants its method of purifying the power of corruption.
In fact, all plants have the ability to purify the power of corruption, but their power is too scattered and takes a long time, often decades or even hundreds of years.
Revitalizing plants is slightly better, but can take months or even years.
Now with the help of the massive life force of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, this process is shortened to just a few seconds.
"I understand, haha, I understand." The Great Druid of Niteach suddenly opened his eyes, and an inhuman emerald green light bloomed from them, which was exactly the same as the life force of the dragon oak mother tree, and he laughed loudly, " What a natural balancer, he can turn the power of decay into a part of our natural power.
No, it is part of our nature and has always been with us, so corruption has been entangled with nature since time immemorial.
Our previous desire to completely eradicate corruption was a wrong idea, because we ourselves are rooted in corrupt soil.
Coexistence with it is the way to balance, the best medicine to clear away corruption and heal the forest.
In fact, the method has always been in our own hands. Declaring war on corruption and evil has never been a matter of one living being, but of the entire forest.
This is not just our war, it is the war of the entire Lysle Forest.
One tree digests the power of decay very slowly, but what about ten trees? Where are the hundred trees? Thousands of trees? Will all the plants and trees in the Lesser Forest be included in it?
Archdruid Hanso, what are you waiting for?
Inform all of you in the Lesir Order and ask them to help us establish contact with the Natural Balancer, so that the entire Lesir Forest can become one and declare war on the Lord of Blight. "
The archdruid's laughter was indescribably joyful, as if he had solved a problem that had puzzled him for countless years.
His words just now were like those geniuses talking to themselves when answering questions in professional fields. At least for the first half, he was still in the same tune.
No one stipulates that the same tune must be silent and motionless.
Most people adopt this state because it makes it easier to focus their attention and get into sync.
In fact, as long as your ability is strong enough, you can perform magic synchronization anytime and anywhere. There are even some synchronizations that require you to be in some special sports or combat states to enter.
When the Great Druid of Niteach's heart was clear, he heard a boom and a new emerald-green light pillar fell from the sky, covering it.
This legendary Archdruid actually crossed Gavin and established direct contact with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
