Chapter 274: Wood Spirit

If anyone who has been to Victoria Harbour ever visited it again, they would never recognise the once thriving city.

The overlapping planes have turned it into a special space that is rare in the world, where it is part of the plane of death and part of the main plane, but at the same time it is not on either side.

Judging from the personal arrival of Esso the Great, it would be even more terrifying if the death plane on the other side was the very famous desecrated plane, obviously, when the plane settlement was successful, the endless army of undead would enter the main plane through that entrance.

But the goal of the undead has not been achieved, originally according to the will of the undead emperors, when this place turns into a place of death, it will be able to transfer a large number of undead from the death plane to station, and gradually erode and expand into their own territory, at least, the world rules of the death plane will make this city a new death capital, countless dead will crawl out of the tomb, the death plane without sunrise is simply the paradise of the dead, and the undead bosses can enter the main plane from this entrance.

Although in a short period of time, those nascent undead legions may not be able to leave this area, but when several undead emperors occupy this outpost area, the undead with absolute strength will no longer be afraid of any challenge, and the new undead scourge is not far away, and it is precisely because of this that the Templar Church will not hesitate to launch a holy war, but unfortunately, their plan has gone a little wrong.

At this time, Victoria Harbour and the surrounding harbor area were divided into two distinct areas, half of which were cloudy ghosts, which belonged to the plane of the dead. The other side. But it's a dense forest of emerald green in the sun. The trees are rising wildly, the shade of green symbolizes endless vitality, and the inexplicable sun is even more hateful to the undead.

The forces of life and death collided with each other, the pale green clouds and gray-black death qi released by the forest in the air were fighting, and the door of the death plane that should have been opened was forced to be stuck, and this peculiar area began to shed the control of the two planes, and the vanguard of the undead kept rushing from the death plane, but this forest full of demons was actually evolving and growing.

Near the entrance to the forest. The two teams are fighting each other brutally, one of them is naturally an army of the undead, while the other group is not just a group of immobile demonic plants, those "native residents" are more like the race of primitive tribes.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can guess that there has never been life in this absolute world, most of them are humanoid, and their seemingly slender limbs are unexpectedly thick and powerful, and they can lift heavy objects several times their weight at will.

Varies in height. There are giants of different sizes, from less than half a meter to more than ten meters. The common denominator is the emerald green leaves and hair, the bark-like carapace on the skin, and the thorns and magic vines that wrap around the body like clothes, and the body seems to have obvious plant features.

If they were a little farther away, their elegant figures, beautiful faces, and sturdy figures in the forest made them quite similar to the forest elves, but if they looked closely at their appearance in the war, no one would regard them as slender and sensitive elves.

Their way of fighting is not disciplined, relying only on their physical instincts, one move is more brutal than that of the barbarians, but it is embarrassingly powerful and scoundrel.

Yes, scoundrels, the undead also have to worry about extinguishing the fire of their souls, and although their limbs are damaged by YanzhΓ²ng, they will not die, but their combat effectiveness can be regarded as useless, but the battle targets of these plant lives are actually all exhausted.

Most of them are still fighting in groups, standing at the forefront are taller and stronger individuals, they are infinitely powerful in hand-to-hand combat, the vine veins behind them are as flexible as arms, and the joints twist at will in battle, the other aspect of the disorganized method also means that it is difficult to predict, and the hand-to-hand combat units with no pain and infinite strength are difficult enough, and they also have their own immortal attributes that are more outrageous than the undead.

The head was cut off? It grew out after a little retreat, and those tall tree giants even fought up, directly tore off their right arm, and threw it out to kill a skeleton, and then this hasn't played yet.

Under the light of green light, those fragments were transformed into a new group of small tree people to take a new wave of offensive, and the most terrifying thing for the high-level undead was that after finally completely destroying one of these strange creatures, a piece of green fire would suddenly escape from the mutilation, and then burrow into a nearby skyscraper, and after a short while, a new tree warrior would emerge from the tree and join the battle.

And this is not only a simple immortal body, the newborn plant warriors are often stronger than before, and their skills are more excellent, and they can even learn the combat skills of the death knights and skeleton generals on the opposite side, and their combat power will increase by at least two percent, which seems to be nothing, but if the number of resurrections is accumulated dozens or hundreds of times, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will even be a sword master here.

Restricted by the elemental tide and the will of the plane, the truly high-level undead powerhouses could not enter this plane, and the low-level undead sea of the undead's gatekeeping ability was compared to the more outrageous immortality of the other party.

And those wooden creatures have more than just fierce warriors who are not afraid of life and death.

Those seemingly petite figures don't seem to have much power, but in fact they are more difficult to deal with, they are either manipulating natural energy to perform all kinds of natural magic and natural abilities, or they are manipulating the demonic plants of those forests to attack, and like their clansmen who are good at hand-to-hand combat, they are also immortal.

The generals of the undead army are already in despair, when they first started, these green-haired little things were as weak as goblins, and they could only tremble in despair under the cover of the forest, blindly running around to avoid the pursuit of the undead, and in less than a week, these strange beings on the other side have evolved to be able to fight a head-on war with the undead army.

Yes, these plant beings are all independent individuals, they have feelings and thoughts, even. Under the cultivation of this forest. has evolved its own language. And in the near future, they will also appear on the stage of history under the name of the race of "Wood Spirits (named after Roland)".

"If we don't bulldoze this forest, we'll never win this war."

Death Knight Kakaro came to the same conclusion as his colleagues, if this forest is not bulldozed, these weird wood spirits will never be destroyed, but in order to enter this forest safely, you must first kill these obstructive wood spirits and demonic plants, it seems. It's already in an endless loop.

"It's just incomprehensible, it's like fighting with a plane will, she has the blessing of luck and the replenishment of endless reserve combat power, and we are fighting less and less. See! Our luck has also deteriorated. ”

In the distance, the durian ancient tree that threw the explosive fruit threw the fruit into the sky at will, but there was no need to worry about blowing up his own people, an undead knight and a wood spirit were inseparable from each other, but the flying fragments turned the undead into a hornet's nest, and it was obviously less than two meters apart, but the wood spirit was unscathed.

If this is artificial. This blind, scattering ability is enough to crush any Elven Marksman, if it's just a coincidence. The chances of the survivors being unscathed should be to buy lottery tickets, but such lucky ones continue to be produced, and the unlucky ones are always the undead, even if they are stupid, they can see that there should be a problem.

In terms of seniority, the corpse witch Anrod is far older than the Great Lich, as Esso is still an old subordinate of the human period, he has experienced countless wars, and he has also experienced dimensional wars, and the decision he made is still very convincing.

Although he was unable to advance due to physical reasons, he was only at the top of the Golden Rank, but with the wisdom accumulated by experience and years, he was deeply trusted by Emperor Esso, and it was precisely because of this that when the war reached a stalemate, Esso, who had returned to the desecrated plane, sent him out to check the situation of the battle.

"Dimensional will? How can it be? ”

The dimensional will of the Ash world has long fallen into a deep sleep, how can it be difficult to get along with them here, and if it is really the anger of the will of the Ash plane, I am afraid that the entrance to this space has long been closed.

Anrod didn't answer, just looked at the vibrant forest, and in his imagination, an invisible arm had covered him, and the demonic being was laughing wildly in the shadows, laughing at the incompetence of the army of the undead.

"Damn! How can it be! ”

Andro finally realized that something was wrong, the soul fire of the high-level undead who had fallen just now was not extinguished, but it was surrounded by phosphorescence on the grass, gradually transformed, from the ghostly pale color to a little green, and the next moment, it was thrown into the trees, and judging from the raised piece, a new wood spirit was being born.

The fallen corpse of the undead was swallowed by the forest and turned into nutrients for the forest, and the soul of the dead entered the soul of the forest and became the newborn of the Wood Spirit clan...... The army of the undead, who are the best at feeding war with war, has encountered the most troublesome of their kind.

"It can't be wrong, it's taking souls, it's simply a reincarnation that operates on its own, a new dimensional will in this forest! Damn, we're in big trouble. ”――

Addendum: Excerpt from the study of the Grand Magician Victor in a teaching: A Study of the Origin of Wood Spirits (AD1541)

It's hard to believe that when the holy war was still in full swing, the cursed plane subsidence, while claiming millions of lives, created a new race, the Wood Spirit Race.

Perhaps, human beings nowadays have become accustomed to the hospitality and sincerity, friendliness, industriousness, and peace-loving nature of those woody beings, and they have always been regarded as representatives of tolerance and goodwill, and few people are disgusted with this race full of goodwill.

But few people know that from the moment of its birth, this new race has to face the destined continuous war, and has been evolving and growing in the flames of war, and they have even been regarded by the world as emotionless war puppets for a considerable period of time after their birth.

The most incredible thing is that their creator is neither a god, nor an immortal being of an alien plane, nor an elven who regards herself as a god of magic, she is just an ordinary human mage.

Yes, no doubt, Amira. Milan. It's the same as you and me listening to me. is a mage who has stepped from an ordinary human to a legendary epic.

Although there were many doubts afterwards about how the lady had accomplished this miracle of the Creator. However, due to the passage of time, I am afraid that it is impossible to verify, and what I provide here is probably the most likely one, and it is also the most accepted one in the academic community.

First of all, we have to mention that in the records of the Mage Country, her personality is a little crazy and a little too radical, which can be confirmed. It was she who had already transformed her physical body into the demonized forest built by demonic plants, and her soul had also turned into the will of this forest.

We can't get into what this millennium ago archmage thought about it, but the connection between the soul of the creator and the creator is obvious, and from the point of view of her lovely children, the crazy and neurotic depictions of the "Madonna of the Forest" in those legendary novels, the lawless crimes, are obviously just an artistic exaggeration and a slander by those with intentions.

Leaving aside the legends that have been recognized by the world, we can easily speculate from the fact that she received an elite education from the royal family at an early age and became a candidate saint of the Earth God Cult (this was at that time). She must be a gentle, amiable Madonna-type woman, and I say this definitely not because I have a wood spirit wife. It's not that I'm worried that if I don't say something nice to praise this mother of wood spirits, I'll probably go home and sleep in the tree, and even my two mixed-race sons won't call me daddy. (Laughter)

Ahem, let's start with the tragedy that happened that night, oh, it was really a rare tragedy in the world, and it is no wonder that demigod-level undead have always been regarded as taboo, they are really ruthless enough, thirty years of preparation, it only started in a second, and the prosperous commercial city turned into a dead city without a single living person.

When the "plane subsidence" occurred, millions of lives turned from life to death, and the resentment of dying turned into a real curse, and the strange spatial structure that belonged to the main plane and the death plane at the same time made it impossible for people to vent those resentments and hatreds, and surrounded them in that closed dimension.

According to the expectation of the Emperor of the Dead, eventually, this area will be reduced to the world of death, and those resentful spirits and curses will also turn into dead spirits and become the cornerstone of the new land of the dead, but sometimes no matter how much they calculate, it is not worth a pure accident, perhaps the only thing they did not expect was that on that day, Emira. Milan is right in the port Victoria area.

Although she is a demigod-level being, but under the rules of the plane, there is still no resistance left, at that moment, she has also experienced the transformation from life to death, and archmages often have a lot of back hands, such as the small mechanism that will immediately transform into a lich after being killed, and as mentioned before, Amira has turned into a demonized forest, and her transformation from life to death has only turned it into a demonized forest that has lost consciousness.

At that time, there were no plants in the death plane bordering the main plane, and there was no existence of undead plants in the rules, and at that moment, she became a bug in the rules, she was not only a collection of plants for the living, but also a dead person who conformed to the rules, and after a short moment, she became the only living person in this small plane and the one who touched the divine domain, so inexplicably she got the control of the nascent plane.

Yes, it is a separate plane, not the intersection of two planes.

The result of Victoria Harbor stuck between the death plane and the main plane is to form a relatively independent plane, and when the dominant will of this plane is selected, the process of this plane's settlement is stopped, and the nascent plane instinctively looks for the powerful will that is enough to carry the world, and the first will born in this plane has become the only candidate, but this soul with demigod-level power has naturally become the best choice among the best choices.

For information on the plane, and the basis for making this inference, you can consult the contemporaries of the Great Magister Heloise, On the Relativity of Space and Time, Roland. Lan Da Magister's "Eighteen Principles of Plane Travel (Twenty-eighth Revised Edition,This is probably the final version)", by the way, the latter has a lot of academic works, but at least half of them are compilations of legendary stories and market novels, which are obviously forgeries of later generations, and generally the revised version of the sequence of more than twenty is genuine, so be careful not to find the wrong one.

Well, to put it mildly, when this temporary world chose Archmage Amira as the master of the plane, but Amira also lost consciousness, and the forest where she was incarnated began to evolve instinctively, and countless resentful spirits also had a shelter to flee to.

The will of the plane has the absolute right to execute the souls of the inhabitants of the plane, which is also one of the basic rules studied by the master Roland, and in the middle of the situation, the Virgin of the Forest, who is extremely matriarchical, Amira took those souls and began to look for new opportunities for them to be reincarnated.

The will of the plane can create the life of the original plane, and only the creator can touch the true divine domain, which is the second basic rule of the plane proposed by Master Roland, so, between the yin and yang, the Holy Mother of the Forest took humans and elves as the template, referred to her common tree man structure, and began to evolve from the demonized plant, and derived the first generation of wood spirits - the original wood spirit.

The will of the plane is composed of order and chaos, the most basic power of order is space and time, the most basic power of chaos is evolution, which is the third law summarized by the master, in the face of the power of order of the will of the plane, it is not much of a problem to reverse space and time, and it is not impossible to complete the evolution of millions of years of worship of other lives in just one moment.

The threat of the death plane made the mother of the forest, who felt the crisis, instinctively accelerated the evolution of the people's old enemy, and at the same time obtained the blessing of time and evolution, as the darlings of the world, the wood spirits evolved at a high speed in that world, evolving their own history, culture, and inheritance, and the protracted and long war with the army of the undead sharpened the survival ability and will to survive of this new race, and only then did the current wood spirit race

As for why the wood spirits are accustomed to calling Master Roland "my father", it is said that the mother of the forest and the archmage Roland...... Hey, is class over? Okay, so if you want to hear gossip, please listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
