Chapter 10: Ancient Trees 2

By the standards of interstellar tactics.

Stephen thinks that the combination of military classes of Chanda is not reasonable, first of all, there are too many warrior monks, because the hermit sect is dominant, and many humans choose to advance to more powerful warrior monks. However, the strength of the warrior monk is only relative, in a one-on-one situation, it is difficult for a warrior of the same rank to defeat a warrior, but if you upgrade from a solo fight to a skirmish, it is almost impossible for an army composed of warriors to defeat a warrior. If the Water Spirit Fortress had enough front-row combat power, it would be basically impossible for those monsters to attack at the beginning.

The standard for a qualified warrior is to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and to be proficient in almost all conventional weapons.

This includes bows and arrows and crossbows.

Warriors may not be a very powerful class, but they cannot be absent in any battle. Secondly, the warrior monks habitually fought with their bare hands, and the gloves they used were expensive, and although they could use the power of qi to make their hands indestructible, they were not very useful when dealing with evil creatures.

In simple terms.

Stephen believes that Zenda needs a lot of heavy armor, heavy weapons and shields, and can use bows and crossbows to fight against the evil army.

Neither can the Viku.

Because Stephen found that the proportion of berserkers in the Viku people was too high, this class was like a Juggernaut unit, which could cut into the enemy's vital point like a sharp blade at a critical moment, but they couldn't hold out for long in terms of attrition on the frontal battlefield. Dealing with these huge armies of monsters requires heavily armored and heavily armed shield warriors, preferably advanced dwarven defenders, and berserkers like the Viku who like to dual-wield forget it.

The rest of the battle is much simpler.

At this time, Stephen had the leisure to go to a large number of water spirit canyons in front of him, this place was full of active water element atmosphere, the area of the water area occupied about one-third, and there was a small island in the middle of the lake, which should be the residence of the water goblin who presided over the magic circle.

The most striking thing here should be an old maple tree.

This ancient tree is about fifty meters high, the stem is very thick, exuding a strong breath of life, and in the battle just now, there is a team of warrior monks who are responsible for protecting it and preventing those monsters from approaching here.

"That's Eilatke. Our only remaining ancient tree of wisdom. A majestic voice rang out.

When Stephen turned around, the druid who had come from Zenda to help him had already walked in front of him, this was a very peculiar druid, because his skin was like rough bark, the whole person was dressed in simple fur animal clothes, his thick hair and beard were like tiny branches, and his facial outline was like a rare elf, but his body structure had been partially assimilated with the tree.

- "Shepherd [Legendary Druid]!"

Along the way, people kept bowing to this druid, and his status in Zenda seemed to be so high that even the garrison here bowed down in respect.

"Welcome! Your Excellency!" the legendary druid leaned over Stephen in the incredulous gaze of many.

There was a lot of talk all around.

A lot of people have speculated about Stephen's identity, and it's not easy to know that the existence of Arondo-Shepherd can use honorifics.

"During the last large-scale invasion of evil creatures, we forcibly awakened Elatke. Now He is very weak and is in a deep sleep. ”

The Wrangler came up to Stephen and said, "Arundo - the Shepherd." ”

"The last shepherd in this world. ”

"Probably the last druid......"

Stephen was stunned for a moment, then placed his hand on his chest to show his respect for a legendary spellcaster.

In terms of the environment in which the String Moon is currently on the verge of collapse, it is almost a devastating disaster for a professional like the Druid who needs to rely on the power of nature to cast spells! It is foreseeable that there will be almost no new druids in such an environment, and the legendary tree herdsman in front of him can hold on until now, probably because of some special force supporting him.

Some began to clean up the battlefield.

The others didn't dare to disturb the two legendary spellcasters, so Stephen, led by Alendor Shepherd, came to the ancient maple tree.

"Elatke is three thousand years old. ”

"He was the first of us to awaken the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, but sadly He is becoming weaker and weaker under the erosion of the Omen Star. ”

The legendary druid's voice was a little heavy, "He can no longer draw enough nutrients and power from the earth, nor can he awaken a new ancient tree of war. We tried to find a way to restore Him, but even the Quetzalcoatl gods couldn't do anything. Because our world is on the verge of destruction, and the natural world can no longer give birth to life. ”

Stephen didn't speak.

With a hint of curiosity, he just touched the rough stem with his hand, this ancient tree exuded a strong vitality, but even then he was still in a weak state, I am afraid that in his heyday he was already close to the strength of a demigod.

Now.

The moment Stephen's finger touched the Ancient Tree of Wisdom in front of him, the legendary Druid Alondo-Tree Shepherd next to him suddenly widened in surprise.

Because the ancient tree of wisdom that had been sleeping in front of him suddenly moved, and then the huge tree pole shook slightly, and the outline of an old face appeared on the torso, as if he was a little puzzled, he muttered in a deep voice: "I smell the oak tree...... Yes!...... The smell of oak ......"

"The Great Father of Nature......"

The legendary druid next to him looked shocked, and he leaned down slightly and knelt down on one knee and said, "Mentor...... You're awake......"

The Ancient Tree of Wisdom - Eratek is not only the last hope of the druids, but also the mentor of all druids since the appearance of the Death Omen, because nature is no longer able to give birth to new druids, since the world was eroded by the ancient evils, all druids have been awakened by the enlightenment of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.

But now the druids who can be awakened are almost extinct!

"Oh...... It's Alendo...... How long have I been asleep?......" The old man's voice sounded slowly, and the Wisdom Ancient Tree cast its eyes on the tree shepherd next to him.

Alondo-Shepherd's expression was a little agitated, "Twenty years. ”

"The mentor has been sleeping for twenty years......"

The Wisdom Ancient Tree looked around and wondered, "What about Dina, Pollard, Virat, Isaac, and Born?"

"Why are you alone?"

A hint of bitterness appeared on the face of the Arondo-Shepherd, and he suppressed his emotions and said slowly, "They all sacrificed ......"

The old wisdom tree fell silent.

"Alas......" After a long time, He let out a heavy sigh.

The Ancient Tree of Wisdom slowly lowered his gaze to Stephen next to him, his expression was quite puzzled, and he said slowly, "Hello." Youngster. I feel a hint of oak in you. ”

"Hmm...... And the power of Quetzalcoatl......"

He stared at Stephen with a look of disappointment, for Stephen was not a druid.
