In the midst of all the changes, it has been nearly a year since Nesta returned from the West Bank forest.

During this period, all the high-level officials of the headquarters who knew about the cave wolf did not have distrust or disapproval because they did not see it with their own eyes, and they all made various preparations with a sense of anxiety.

They do not know when the monster was wounded, nor when it will wake up, but they can only silently believe in their hearts, in the great and wise Dictator;

I hope that under his leadership, the tribe can successfully survive this long and short preparation period.

In this anxious mood, the tribe's preparations and explorations in all directions have successively borne fruit.

First of all, the assault team formed by the witch doctors has completed the targeted spell development and tactical drills, and then we can only hope that there will be no accidents when operating on the ground.

Secondly, after more than half a year of continuous production, the tribe has more than 7,000 pairs of armor, and has truly achieved the 'set of armor for everyone' that was once thought to be a luxury."

This speed made Nesta feel incredulous, and marveled at the magic of the spell.

As long as this supernatural power is used in the right direction, the benefits it can bring are truly terrifying.

The abundance of armor stomachs has also enriched the confidence of the upper echelons, and they are gearing up to start looking forward to a big battle.

Thirdly, the Far Traveler squadron, which had gone to the northeast and south to reconnoitre, had also returned, bringing back two pieces of news that I don't know if they were good or bad.

First, the path to the outside world identified in the mountains of the northeast has been explored without any trace of civilization on the opposite side.

Undoubtedly, this is an undeveloped plateau meadow area, with abundant water and grass, and a suitable climate, which is quite suitable for survival.

But the troll race hasn't even been able to fully occupy the land under their feet, let alone the distant mountain? Nesta and the witch doctors could only salivate and put it aside.

Perhaps after dealing with the wolves in the West, the headquarters could send some of the trolls there to establish a stronghold, but that wasn't the case now.

Second, in the middle of the southern barren zone, a volcanic group of more than a dozen volcanoes composed of very close proximity to each other was discovered, and a large organism that seemed to be composed of magma lived in it, and the total number of them was about thirty.

Fortunately, I don't know if I can't or don't want to, even if these guys are faced with the provocation of the far-travelers, they don't mean to leave the magma.

This made the headquarters breathe a sigh of relief, and finally did not have to deal with another group of opponents who did not know the depth while facing the wolves.

In the end, the first output of the experimental field was far from expected, and the estimated yield of 600 kg per mu was reduced by two-thirds, and only 250 kg per mu of new crops were harvested.

This caused the two witch doctors who were originally full of ambition to suffer a great blow, and although the Rune Council did not express their overall dissatisfaction, they themselves were quite remorseful.

Nesta was also puzzled by this result, why was the actual natural output so low after the intervention of the spell, so high?

After thinking about it for a long time, a saying from his previous life came to his mind, 'Orange is orange when it is born in Huainan, and orange is orange when it is born in Huaibei...... So what? The water and soil are also different. “

The Toulon species migrated from the north, and perhaps this crown wheat has been domesticated by them, and the growing environment has been specialized?

This seems to be said in the past, and the witch doctors have learned in previous exchanges that they once lived in a much colder and drier land than the Black Forest...

Perhaps the Tianci Plateau outside the mountains is not much different from his hometown in terms of temperature due to geographical reasons, and if the soil differences are not taken into account, the grain yield of Toulon may not be affected in the future.

But the Black Forest is different, it is actually a low-altitude plain with a hot and humid climate.... If it is really because of the above reasons, then the reduction of crown wheat production is also the proper meaning.

Nesta conveyed his hypothesis to the two witch doctors, asking them to try to start with it and see how it worked.

The witch doctors were most afraid of not having a way of thinking, and in the face of Nesta's reminder, they were very excited and full of hope for the way forward.

It is also very promising, since the magic can directly ignore this problem and raise the yield to a high point, then as long as the breeding is adjusted in advance, the problem should be solved.

Thus, further transformation of the seeds began.

With a clear direction, the witch doctors efficiently completed the breeding work and replanted it.

Six months later, they happily ushered in a real bumper harvest, 50 acres of experimental fields, 600 kilograms per mu, a total of 30,000 kilograms of shelled crown wheat.

Based on the amount of food measured by the trolls after the experiment, eating five kilograms of crown wheat, one kilogram of meat, eggs and milk, and a certain amount of fruits, vegetables, nuts and mixed powder every day is enough for them to eat full and nutritious.

This greatly reduces the tribe's need for meat, which increases the utilization of troll resources.

Although the cultivation of crown wheat is also quite troublesome, but its trouble is a certain seasonality, according to the calculation of sowing twice a year and harvesting twice, the busy farming period is only a short three or four months of effort, compared to the need to hunt all the time is much more cost-effective.

The only trouble may be that the high-yielding seeds must come from the hands of the witch doctor.... But who knows if that's a benefit too?

So, faced with this temptation, Nesta and the Runeter Council made the decision to destroy the forest and make way for the apprentices to create a machine that would make it easy to cut down trees.

This order was quickly carried out, and hundreds of trolls put down their hunting tasks for the time being, and before they could wait for the development of convenient machinery, they stationed in small teams in the forests of the tribe, preparing to use relatively primitive axes and saws and other tools to carve out stretches of farmland.

When the trees are cut down, they will be burned in their place, along with the vegetation, and the residue will become fertilizer for the land, thus continuing to support the development of the tribe in another form.

Nesta is in awe of the natural environment, but now what is the forest environment, the preservation of trees and soil..... He could only regret that it was not yet time;

The tribe will continue to develop with the concept of 'polluting first and then cleansing", and when it becomes truly powerful in the future, it will definitely return more greenery to the Black Forest exponentially.

Besides, the Black Forest is so vast that the farmland that the tribe plans to reclaim is a drop in the ocean relative to the whole, so where can it cause so much damage?

As a result, the first phase of the project set the target at "10,000 mu", that is, 3,000 meters long and 2,000 kilometers wide, with a total of 6 million square meters of farmland.

In order to facilitate management and subsequent development, these farmlands will be concentrated together as much as possible to become a large agricultural reclamation area; The second and third phases of the second phase, which will inevitably be carried out in the future, will also be connected with each other, so as to form a regular grid-like layout.

The development of agriculture and the increasing growth of animal husbandry will inevitably lead to a decrease in the importance of hunting activities, and the current production units of the tribe based on hunter teams may face challenges;

The distribution of land management and grain output will inevitably become the top priority of tribal policy adjustment in the near future.

In this regard, Nesta is ready to think about it and discuss a suitable plan with the witch doctors.

But this is also a matter for the future, and it is not too late to make a decision after the first phase of 10,000 acres of land is properly developed.

At the same time, the Sharptooth Witch Doctor and the Rough Tooth Witch Doctor also completed the advancement at the right time....

The appearance of the two witch doctors also showed changes similar to those of Aishara.

Their height has dropped to about 2.8 meters, their muscle dimensions have also decreased correspondingly, and they have become more toned and slender overall, and their facial features also show the appearance of the elves in Nesta's previous life.

Their progress is not exactly the same, and both of them have incorporated their own ideas on the basis of the path developed by Nesta, resulting in many different changes.

Thick-toothed witch doctors' long hair has grown leaves and has a better light-energy conversion efficiency;

And his Druyin transformation is a half-tree, half-flesh form, which can absorb nutrients from the soil by taking root and sprouting, and further improve the efficiency of energy conversion and material absorption by turning all hair into leaves.

In this way, he will have more powerful regeneration ability and spell endurance after transformation.

And because the fanged witch doctor is more obsessed with the carving of the wind wolf meditation method, he has the ability to change the form of an Ortho wolf similar to that of the 'werewolf' in his previous life.

After seeing the transformation of the two witch doctors, Niesta thought that the former had enhanced endurance, but lackluster in terms of flexibility and physical attack;

The latter, while specializing in attack power, also takes into account the unique flexibility of Homo erect creatures and the ability to use tools, but is relatively mediocre in terms of energy conversion;

All in all, their choices are a powerful direction.

He was very pleased with this, the more paths meant more choices, and the future generations of witch doctors and ordinary trolls in the future would have more possibilities as a result.

Now that the two witch doctors have successfully advanced and the tribe's many preparations for war have been completed, it is time to head to the west to eliminate the hidden danger.

As a result, the 'Expedition to the Wolf Cave' operation officially entered the implementation stage.

In order to carry out this 'expedition', the witch doctors not only prepared new spells, rehearsed the battle strategy after arriving, but also made huge adjustments to the preparations for the march.

The previous Witch Doctor's idea of 'combining a ship with a refrigerator tree' has not been realized for various reasons, but its overland variant has been successful.

The witch doctors transformed the refrigerator tree, removing the crown and concentrating the leaves on one side of the main trunk;

The root system, which can be retracted under the control of the spell, is distributed on the other side of the trunk;

There are also four pairs of wheel-like structures that can roll freely at the lower part of the left and right sides, front and back;

In the place where the canopy of the tree originally grew, a few more vines spread out.....

As a result, the entire refrigerator tree becomes a transverse transporter;

When walking, it is led forward by a moose, relying on the cold to preserve the food inside;

When stopped, the roots burrow into the ground and refrigeration is activated again.

At a time when meat is still a staple food, this change can greatly enhance the tribe's ability to march long distances.

Before departure, five of these 'grain wagons' were ready, and they would be accompanied by 25 moose.

The reason for this arrangement is that in addition to the 'decapitation' team of 20 witch doctors, 2,000 soldiers will accompany the trip.

Their mission is to fend off wolves outside the cave when the witch doctor attacks the cave wolves.

After preparing all this, the mighty army left, and the tribes left behind entered the contraction period again, and all the non-combat trolls were stationed in the headquarters and various garrisons, fully armed for any accidents that might occur.

The 2,000 soldiers consisted of three corps of infantry and one brigade of Rangers, the former being the main force and the latter being the reconnaissance force, while the cavalry corps remained in the tribe to deal with the eventuality.

The infantry marched in groups according to the formation of the corps, forming a zigzag structure in the forest, with the logistics convoy, apprentices, messenger groups, and so on in the center of the pins.

The march of the army was much slower than that of Nesta and Miya, who had to travel alone, and were dragged down by the baggage transport;

Therefore, the progress is not fast, and it is estimated that it will take about three or four months to reach the destination.

And in this process, the wolves will inevitably not ignore them, and all kinds of temptations, provocations, and even large-scale attacks will come sooner or later.

The far-travelers were scattered far away just to prevent this, but whenever there was any disturbance, they would report to the main force in time.

Among the main force, there are thirty apprentices who specialize in receiving medium and long-distance information, and they are engraved with the mutated 'Listener' totem on their bodies, and they will take turns to turn it on and listen to the messages conveyed by the Far Traveler with the 'Wind Whisperer' totem according to certain rules.

Azhara was not part of the assault group, and by this time she had left the main force and returned to the territory they had occupied, intending to gather the remaining forces and disrupt the wolves' surveillance of the side by starting a 'civil war'.

In addition, the witch doctors are using the combined technique of the 'Silent Domain' in batches on the outskirts of the army, using its side effects of reducing the concentration of air in the area to create a scent isolation zone on the outskirts of the army, thereby reducing the probability of being detected by wolves.

Even under the combined effect of such a variety of means, the army had more than a dozen clashes with wolves during the four months of its march;

The largest of them all, the main force faced the attack of one wolf lord, thirteen giant wind wolves, more than two hundred wind wolves, and more than a thousand ordinary wolves.

Fortunately, this side received the news from the far-travelers in advance, so the formation was ready, so it did not suffer too much loss.

The wolf lord is fended off by the fanged witch doctor who has transformed into an 'erect wolf';

The remaining Wind Wolves and Giant Wind Wolves were almost useless in the face of the troll army armed to the teeth and tightly packed in battle, and as a result, under the follow-up and encirclement of the other two corps, none of these wolves ran away, and were hacked and poked to death by the soldiers one by one.

The corpses were not wasted, and all the magic crystals were separated and stored in the 'refrigerated transport trucks' to replenish the food consumed earlier.

It's a pity that the Far Wanderer team, which was the first to discover the wolves, sacrificed four fighters in the face of the wolves after sending the information, and the entire team was left with only one member in the end.

Without exception, these sacrifices were recorded by the tribe, but there was not much compensation that the tribe could give other than to send them a mass funeral after their return.... Or not at all.

Because according to the current form of organization of the tribe, they don't even know who to give a pension to....

In response to this problem, Blade Fang is actually already considering whether to pay the pension to the remaining soldiers.

After all, in the Horde, 'Friendship' has de facto replaced the status of 'Kinship' in the previous life, and has become the closest bond between trolls, so it is not unreasonable to regard comrades-in-arms as objects of appeasement.

The only concern that has not yet been implemented is the fear of the tragedy of 'actively entrapping teammates)....

But when you think about it, in terms of the importance that trolls attach to teammates, this situation can basically be compared to father and son killing each other in a previous life..... Once it appears, it will be a very evil example that will shake society.

This situation has also happened in previous lives, but the government has not changed the rules for the payment of pensions and insurance benefits because of this;

Therefore, he felt that perhaps he should not doubt the whole system because of his scruples about extreme individuals.

Moreover, with the simplicity of the trolls now, there may not be a death of teammates for wealth for a long time;

Even if the trolls really start to do so in the future, they will be punished as bad examples.

After pondering all kinds of problems and going through many attacks, the army finally followed the path in Nesta's memory and came to the wolf's den.

When all the trolls had crossed the border, there was a faint sound from underground, and the wind in the area suddenly became stronger.

Nesta looked solemn, worried that too much hostility would cause the monster to wake up directly, so he ordered his soldiers to stand back and prepare outside the 'intimidation zone', their opponents not in front of them, but in the wolves.

He himself went into it with all the witch doctors, to the place where he had collapsed before.

The witch doctors looked at the scale of the collapse and finally had an intuitive understanding of what Nesta had called "a casual blow", and they looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rise and fall of the headquarters is here to fight! Ready to get started? ”

"Understood!"

"Give the order!"

"Alright, let's get moving!"

All the conversations involuntarily lowered their voices, for fear of being detected by the monster....

At Nesta's command, the witch doctors each took out the largest number of special tree species they could control, buried them in the cracks in the ground, and began casting spells.

Nesta can now control six tree species at once, while the Fanged Witch Doctor can only control four because of his preference for beast meditation;

Among the rest of the witch doctors, there are ten from the plant department, and they can control three at the same time;

There are seven beasts, and one can be controlled separately;

Only the Rough Tooth Witch Doctor's painting style is the strangest, only to see that most of his body has turned into a tree, and on the dozens of roots that have been transformed from his feet, twelve of them have 'grasped' a tree seed deep into the ground, and began to take root.

A total of 59 tree species sprouted under the control of the witch doctors, and continued to extend deeper into the cavern, eventually breaking into the edge of the central area.

The witch doctors slowed down their grip on the spell and burrowed into the ground following the path opened up by the vines as they spread, heading towards the end at breakneck speed.

They did not gather together, but formed a circle around the perimeter of the wolf's sleeping cave, and when they landed, their eyes lit up, and they finally saw the light and felt the wind.

The witch doctors didn't look closer out of curiosity, they didn't even have the idea of turning around and taking a look, and immediately continued to control the spell.

This time, the vines no longer spread completely downward, but at the same time to the left and right, and to the top and bottom;

They cut through walls, floors, and ceilings in a large circle to connect each other, forming a cage of 59 groups of vines.

The 17 witch doctors, who had not yet advanced, were already starting to feel tired, and they maintained the spell with one hand, and the other hand went deep into the backpack, grabbing large chunks of fat and sending them into their mouths to replenish energy.

Nesta and Fangs felt fine, although there was no sunlight here, their physical strength was enough to support this level of consumption, but considering the large amount of magic required later, they also began to take out food and replenish it.

Only the main body is still on the ground, and only the root system of the lower body has entered the ground, and the thick teeth that have entered the ground are not worried about physical fitness problems at all in the continuous energy transformation, and they are still concentrating on casting spells.

Soon after, Roughtooth sensed the embarrassment of the unadvanced witch doctors,

"Open the control path, and I can do so much more if it's just an assist."

The voice under the control of the windtalker was accurately transmitted to the ears of every troll present, and the 17 witch doctors who had not been upgraded did so, following the pattern of joint spellcasting, sharing the control of a part of the vines to Roughfang.

As a result, they have a large part of their physical expenditure, and a corresponding part of the media control requirements, and they are able to eat fat at a faster rate.

Gradually, the vine formed a complete spherical shape and began to shrink inward, from 100 meters in diameter to 90 meters, 80 meters...

Its structure began to deform, the intersecting parts evolved from individual vines to complete walls, and its material properties also changed from 'elongation' to 'extreme toughness'.

This process cannot be carried out too quickly, and once the shift in the direction of 'extreme tenacity' is completed too soon, the maneuverability of the prison will be greatly reduced, and every contraction and advance will come at the cost of great physical exertion;

But it can't be too slow, the vine stage is too fragile and easy to destroy compared to the monster's attacks, so it can't achieve the ultimate goal.

At seventy meters in diameter, the mid-rise part of the sphere finally broke into the cave where the target was, and gradually approached the area where it had been awakened.

Sixty meters later, the giant wolf in the center of the cave, which was more than eleven meters long and six meters high, finally opened its godless eyes again, and a violent hurricane erupted from its mouth and slammed directly into the 'wall' that had not yet been fully transformed.

Although the wall made of vines was not completely shattered, it was already densely cracked, and the witch doctors quickly stopped eating in their hands and began to concentrate all their efforts on controlling the synthesis, thickening, and shrinking of the wall.
