After training, the group rested in the shade of a nearby tree, sheltering from the scorching sun.

After resting, the tree people began to chat.

A short tree man said in an admiring tone, "Lord Chief Instructor is really powerful, he actually brought such a magical battle formation, even the powerful deputy leader couldn't break our battle formation alone last time."

"Lei Mu, you're right, but only in this way can you understand how Her Royal Highness would canonize a member of the orc clan as the chief instructor of our tree people," the others chimed in.

This dwarf tree man's name is Lei Mu, and he has several traces of lightning on his body, and he is quite famous because he will not die when he is struck by lightning. Now Lei Mu is the commander of their group of battle formations, I don't know if it was after the thunder split, now its mind is the smartest, and others are also the most dependent on it, the most convinced.

"But I'm a little unconvinced, since we are already so powerful and can defeat the boss-level figures, why is our status in the clan so low, we still do the hardest and most tiring work, and we still don't have the ability to reproduce," the dwarf tree man complained later.

Lei Mu said that the pain in the hearts of most cannon fodder level tree people, the reproductive suppression in plants is the result of natural selection, for example, a tree often grows best at the top, but the branches below will be restricted, because when the top secretes growth hormone, it will also pass down a growth-inhibiting hormone to ensure that most nutrients are supplied to the top treetops. In this way, it will be easier to gain an advantage in competition with other plants and get more sunlight.

Plants have more obvious reproductive control than animals. Similarly, the ability of these tree people born from the brood to reproduce is greatly limited. Unlike orcs who have many desires, and treemen who have few desires, reproduction and reproduction of their own offspring is their only essential instinctive desire for life.

Before, due to the existence of cannon fodder, they were powerless to resist this reproductive suppression from the mother tree, but now they are different, they have stronger strength, and understand that as long as they unite together, they can use the new battle formation to easily overturn those originally high tree leaders, those new tree people who are recognized by them, and the tree people who can control and command the new battle formation are often the tree people who act justly among them, far more trusted and supported than the naturally generated tree man leaders.

These new Treant Cores, like Thunderwood, have been fountain in their ambitions for a few years, knowing that as long as they unite the hundreds or thousands of Treant Brothers around them, it will have the ability to challenge their position as the leader of the Treant Branch, seize the power to reproduce, and evolve itself from a low-level Treant of cannon fodder to a high-level brood Treant.

For their tree-man civilization, although they also have the meaning of male and female, they are completely different from orcs, many of them are even hermaphroditic, and they can complete reproduction on their own, so there is no social difference between male and female.

The only restriction is the reproductive suppression of the high-level treants who give birth to their own brood. This kind of reproductive suppression comes from two aspects, one is the genes carried by these cannon fodder tree people, and the other part is the inhibitory hormone secreted by the mother nest, and the two aspects work together, so that these cannon fodder tree people do not have the ability to reproduce their own offspring.

If you want to break it, only the original brood tree person declines or dies, and the inhibitory hormones secreted disappear or weaken, and the genes in the body will be transformed, from suppressing reproduction to encouraging reproduction.

Reimu has been on the battlefield three times so far this year, continuing the good fortune of being struck by lightning, and has survived each time. That's why it was able to comprehend the new battle formation so quickly, and it was eager to produce its own offspring before the next Armageddon.

Because the Treants are different from other races, they have a way to copy themselves, such as cutting off a piece of their own body and inserting it into the ground, and under the right circumstances, they can grow exactly the same version of themselves, theoretically speaking, no different from the original Treants.

It can be said that once it defeats itself, this copied self is another continuation, more reliable than that of children. They also believe that they can attain eternal life through this method.

But this has a premise, that is, the reproductive repression in the genes needs to be removed, otherwise this method will only replicate a tree, not a tree person with a sense of wisdom like them.

After Thunderwood complained, many of the treants did not echo this time, but they all felt the same way in their hearts, they desperately hoped to use new power to gain a new status, at least to give them a new hope, not as before, they were born to be destined to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, just a tool used to consume the physical strength of the magma giants.

Raimu was disappointed, it seemed that most of the people were still used to the original ruling order, and no one was willing to stand up and break it, even if it was no longer adapted to the new situation.

It casually said a few more grumbling words and then interrupted the conversation.

That night, a tree man found it and told it something he didn't know, and Thunderwood made up his mind.

.................. "Oh, a low-level tree man-made rebellion?" Even killed the brood leader who originally bred it? Zhuo Chuan got the news, and he was extremely indifferent in front of the many tree leaders.

Because on earth, there are too many such subordination plots, and no one thinks that they shouldn't, and no one thinks that the superior is born to be like this for the rest of his life. Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

However, in this world, there is really a kind of princely general, and the heir of the lineage who has not been approved by the brood cannot become the next leader. And each leader is actually a tree nest.

"I want to remind everyone that it was our esteemed Chief Instructor who introduced a new battle formation that gave those cannon fodder the ability to kill the leader of their brood, otherwise, nothing like this had happened in tens of thousands of years before," Kuroki said, taking advantage of the opportunity, and finally waited for this to happen.

Zhuo Chuan actually behaved so indifferently, which made it puzzled at the same time, and secretly laughed at Zhuo Chuan's naivety, not knowing that he was already in a catastrophe.

"Hmph, we haven't really shown our majesty on the central battlefield yet, our Tree People are in turmoil first, Your Royal Highness Princess, we must carry out severe suppression, otherwise the next battle, even recruiting soldiers will become a problem" Some of the tree leaders who were quite close to the clan leader who was killed spoke up one after another.
