Chapter 813: Decay Infusion
Nate Yat Grand Druid nodded, "Even if the commander doesn't say it, I'll do it, the main purpose of my research on the Natural Balancer is to solve the problem of the short duration of the battlefield heather battle."
You only see the powerful side of the battlefield heather, but you don't see their fatal shortcomings.
Although they have the same ability to take root and absorb nutrients as treants, their efficiency as thorn vines is much lower than that of trees.
Like today, once a fierce battle, they need to take root for ten days to replenish their consumption.
Today they are already super-normal, which should be the credit of the Natural Balancer, who provided a steady stream of life force to replenish the consumption of Battlefield Heather in time.
So, I wondered if we could also give them the ability to network with the trees around them and share their life force, similar to the dragon acorn tree.
With this ability, they can quickly recharge their energy by taking root in dense forests. ”
For the most part, the legendary Great Druid cherished his words, but when it came to academic relevance, especially the Battlefield heather, he was gushing, and he did not shy away from being known for the flaws of his weapons of war, let alone his research ideas.
His almost cold indifference, more than that, is not good at it, and he is not willing to socialize.
"In this way, the dragon acorn tree is the most direct solution for the endurance of the heather." Gavin nodded understandingly.
Revitalized plants may seem to have the advantages of plants and animals, but in fact, they are half-baked in every way.
Compared to animals, their mobility is limited, except for a few unique species such as the Demon Tree, they do not actively hunt for food, and lack the ability to quickly gain energy.
Compared to plants, their ability to draw nutrients from nature is greatly reduced, and they rely heavily on the ability of the High Life Dice to absorb magical power.
That's why in those anti-magical areas, the animate plants will lose their vitality and become no different from normal trees, and they will easily not do a lot of activity unless absolutely necessary.
The Great Migration of Thousands of Miles, that is, when the transportation capacity was seriously insufficient at the beginning, Gavin and the Enlightenment Trees were used as cattle for a while, and when they reached the Giant Plains and had a large number of giant cattle, they all replaced them.
Thanks to Gavin, they didn't rush to the road, and stayed on the Dragon Coast and the Goblin Frontier for a short time, giving the tree people plenty of time to replenish their energy, otherwise it would be difficult for them to keep up with the migration.
The same is true for the Treants.
Not to mention the fact that the battlefield heather, which has abandoned most of the plant structure, favors the structure of animals, although it makes them better at fighting, but it also makes it difficult to absorb energy.
But with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Dragon Acorn Tree, this kind of existence that can absorb the life force of other trees for its own use, is simply a perfect match, and it is a natural charging pile - as long as there is a dense forest for them to take root, they can continuously charge the war heather.
This will be true not only for the heather, but also for other activated plants.
It is expected that the location of the dragon acorn tree will be a gathering place for those revitalized plants.
In this way, the role of the dragon acorn tree is not only to purify, but also to its own construction, especially in places such as the giant valley and valley, where arable land and forest interact together.
Those activated plants with sufficient energy replenishment are an excellent power source, as long as they are hung up with the matching large machinery, they can clear the wasteland, sow and harvest on their own, and with a few druids use magic to weed, fertilize and irrigate, so as to create an otherworldly version of the mechanized farm, with the least number of people, the largest area of land, so as to obtain a large amount of food.
Thinking of the end, Gavin felt that he was about to ignite, originally he didn't have much confidence in convincing the two great druids to support him in the big development of Jugu, but after this new plan, the success rate suddenly soared by dozens of percentage points.
There is no more natural way to use energy in this world, and even extreme naturalists are hard to fault with it.
Gavin didn't throw out his thoughts directly, but gradually helped Knightyat analyze: "The key to the ability of the Dream Purification Web is in the dream realm related to the Balancer of Nature, and it is very difficult to get the existing battlefield heather to obtain this ability.
However, it would be much easier to use the Natural Balancer to give birth to a new battlefield heather.
In fact, compared to this method, there is another way, but this method is a bit evil for many people. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Knight Yat the Great Druid asked.
"Quite simply, it is to infuse these battlefield heathers with the power of decay, so that they have the ability to quickly decay the corpses of animals and plants, and they can absorb a lot of useful nutrients for themselves by taking root." Gavin was the originator of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's rotten powers, so he knew how it worked.
In fact, it is a variant of activated plants that eat meat, and the principle is similar to that of the magic tree and the tentacle magic vine, and it quickly replenishes its own energy by directly ingesting external energy.
"This is indeed an effective method, but will this corrupt force have an impact on the battlefield heather like other dark forces?" Nate Yat didn't show much discomfort with the suggestion.
In the eyes of many druids, intelligent beings do not take precedence over animals and plants, and people can eat meat, why can't plants?
What he was most worried about now was whether these activated plant fighting machines were infused with the power of decay, and whether they would fall into evil like the withered demon tree, becoming bloodthirsty and berserk, and hunting uncontrollably.
"It was in this way that the Balancer of Nature destroyed the root of the gods of the Moandor Primordial Temple, and as long as it is used well, the decaying ability is beneficial to plants." Gavin said confidently, "This kind of power is given by the natural balancer, even if something goes wrong, it can be taken back as soon as possible." ”
"It's useless to talk about it, the easiest way is to test it on the spot." Nate Yat shows the practical spirit that is characteristic of scientific researchers.
"Simple, there are plenty of test materials on the other side of the Lysle Forest."
"Let's go."
Gavin didn't say a word, and directly ended the trip to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree with them, and returned to the withered land of the Lysle Forest, no, it should be called the Purification Land now.
However, instead of experimenting with battlefield heather, they chose a battlefield piercing.
This is a transcendent version of the Battlefield heather, which is basically the same in appearance, except that it is a smaller model, comparable to an adult brown bear.
If the battlefield heather is compared to a heavy tank, the battlefield piercer is light at best, with little strength, weak ability, weak defense, and the only advantage is that it is light in weight and has a certain speed advantage.
This speed advantage refers to being faster than battlefield heather, and compared to war horses, battlefield piercers are still much worse, after all, they are activated plants, and they are not known for this piece.
Channeling the power of decay into the body of this battlefield piercing man who has been reduced to an experimental subject, without any twists and turns.
The intelligence of this revitalized plant is somewhere between that of a beast and an intelligent being.
To say that it has intelligence, it basically doesn't have a very complete sense of self and doesn't have much personal desire.
To say that it is not intelligent, its intelligence is far from being comparable to that of a beast, and with a little training, it can carry out many simple commands.
Most of Warcraft's intelligence is at this stage (between 4-7 intelligence).
I don't know if it's a coincidence or an inevitability.
This battlefield piercer holds up to twelve Rotten Power, the same amount as its life dice.
When the power of decay entered its body, its four claws were dyed gray-black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Battlefield Impalator
HP: 124 (12D8+72)
Body size: Large
Attributes: Strength 23, Agility 8, Constitution 22, Intelligence 5, Perception 10, Charisma 7
Idiosyncrasies: Plant Trait, Impale Immunity, Impale, Mastery Grappling, Thorn Projection, Trample, Energy Resistance (Reactance 10, Fire Bear 10), Land of Thorns, Decay Attack.
The special abilities of the Battlefield Impaler and the Battlefield Heather are basically the same, except that the life dice, attributes, energy resistance, and special abilities are different.
Gavin: They focused on the last Rotten Attack, which was not the original of the Battlefield Impaler, but was infused with Rotten Divinity.
Decay Attack (Unusual Ability) - The Battlefield Impaler's claw hit will have a 12-point Decay Attack, which can be applied once per turn, and these Decay Powers will precipitate in the enemy's body, whether it is animals or plants, once the Decay Attack exceeds 50 points, they will get Rot, the wound will fester, and will continue to cause damage to the enemy.
If the Decay Attack accumulates more than 100 points, the creature may trigger the instant-death effect.
Both animals and plants will decay and decay quickly after death, and if the activated plants choose to take root in their bodies, the energy recovery rate will be greatly increased.
Strictly speaking, this is already a God-given power.
The effect is amazing, not only does Gavin have the abilities he originally expected, but it also gives the battlefield piercer an additional special means of killing.
The extra damage of twelve points every six seconds is not low, which is enough to make the career level of this battlefield piercing one-claw instant kill from one or two to two or three levels, and some thin-skinned professionals can even reach three or four levels.
The cumulative nature of the power of decay also gives them the ability to leapfrog challenges, and a group of battlefield piercers with rotten attacks rush up, perhaps able to knock some enemies that were originally out of reach to the ground.
Knight's greatest fears did not happen, and the imbued power of decay did not have any effect on the temperament of the Battlefield Impalator, after all, these divine powers were subject to divine constraints, even if they were given.
This also leads to the fact that in the same situation as the power of the road is poured into the Idol of the Road, the rotten divine power granted will be occupied, and there is no way for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to regenerate until it is recovered.
"Try it with heather from the field." Knightate's interest in experimentation was completely aroused, and they were using the power of the gods to conduct experiments.
"Okay." Gavin didn't say a word, and directly selected one of the strongest battlefield heathers to concoct it in the same way.
His guess was right, how much Decay Power they could hold in their bodies was related to their Life Dice, and the body of this Battlefield Heather was infused with 28 points of Decay Power.
Its ability to activate is identical to that of the Battlefield Impaler, with the only difference being that it has an additional 28 Decay Attack per turn.
"Not bad." Knightyat nodded involuntarily and said, "Although it is still a little far from the method I expected, it is also a good strengthening method, not only to make their battlefield worthy of their name, but also to improve their strength." ”
"If Your Excellency agrees, I can infuse all the Battlefield Heather and Battlefield Impalators with the power of decay." Gavin offered to offer.
This matter, if it is fully calculated, will also occupy 1,800 to 2,000 points of decay power, and if it is replaced by before the withering battle, this will occupy most of the decay power of the dragon oak mother tree.
However, he had just started with three points of decay divinity, so that the dragon oak mother tree now possessed more than 5,600 points of decay power, so that it could fully afford it.
Although these battlefield heathers are not owned by Gavin, their existence is to demonstrate the unique ability of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree in this regard, and any contribution made will be inseparable from it, which is the most important meaning of the existence of divine power.
"Yes." Nate Yat was refreshed and incredible, "I won't need them in a short time, except for leaving me three battlefield heather and ten battlefield piercing men to assist me in research, all the rest will be handed over to the commander for deployment, and the next safety of Jugu will be left to you." ”
Gavin thanked him with great joy, "Thank you for your trust, I will make full use of them, and I will never let them easily get into danger unless I have to, and I will do my best to protect the Great Valley, so that the Toucan Iron Rider does not have the opportunity to set foot here." ”
This is purely a surprise, although the number of this force is not large, but the strength is not weak at all, their combat effectiveness is far from showing when fighting against the withered army, if it is used against intelligent creatures, in many places, it is enough to slaughter cities and destroy countries.
Especially in the hands of someone like Gavin, who is good at strategy and tactics, it will be easier to shine.
"The forces of our Rice Order will also be at the disposal of the Commander until those nomads are driven back to the Endless Wilderness." Hanso the Great Druid followed suit.
This is a rare opportunity to unite the forces of the Great Valley.
It wasn't that they didn't want to unite the forces of Jugu and fight against the Tucan army.
But the lack of a leader in the entire Great Valley is like a plate of loose sand.
Regardless of the others, the arrogant Great Druid in front of him is the most troublesome one, since he realized it, he has not served anyone, let alone handed over the command of the war heather in his hands.
Although Hansuo's great druid is not particularly interested in fame and fortune, he is also extremely uneasy about putting the supreme military power of Jugu in the hands of Knight, and his relatively low emotional intelligence is the biggest problem.
This Gavin commander has to have a background, to have ability, to have a good character, and to win the approval of Knightyat, Hanso's great druid naturally pushes the boat.
With the support of the two most famous druid forces in the valley, I believe that the remaining people of the valley will be moved, and those who have a heart will take the initiative to defect.
"Good, good, good." Gavin smiled even more and said, "With your help, my confidence is even greater, so let's continue to fight side by side." ”
"Commander, don't know what we should do next?" Hanso asked.
"Our top priorities are threefold." Gavin was not polite, and directly dispatched troops, "The first thing is to rebuild Usmail City, especially the port, which needs to be further expanded, so that the military supplies and coalition troops on the west bank of the Falling Star Sea can continue to land from here.
Relying only on Usmail's own people, the speed is too slow, I hope that His Excellency Hanso can organize the manpower to enlighten the five hundred living trees, so that they can support the construction of Usmail City, in terms of carrying heavy objects, they have an advantage beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”
That's the benefit of having more resources at your fingertips.
If Gavin is allowed to get 500 revitalized trees, it will take more than 500 days to accumulate.
And now the 100-man supervan druids who are in control of the Great Valley can all be in place in just five days.
With 500 revitalised trees, which is comparable to 500 small and medium-sized loading cranes, many tasks will be made very easy and the construction speed will be greatly increased.
"This ......," said the Great Druid Hanso, with a clear hint of hesitation in his expression.
"What? Having difficulties? ”
"It's a bit difficult." Han Suo said helplessly, "We Jugu druids mainly advocate wildness, if you let them fight against corruption and evil, against those invaders, they will definitely go forward bravely and give everything they have, but if you let them help those city citizens to build cities, I am afraid that many would rather die than do it, because that is a way of life that they despise and spurn." ”
"Understood." Gavin didn't think Hanso was exaggerating, or even being more tactful.
After all, in many places, there are sharp contradictions, even wars, between those extreme druid circles and those urban developments.
The treants and the revitalized trees are more of a destroyer of the city than they are builders.
It's Gavin, an unorthodox druid, who uses those living plants in the opposite way.
Understanding does not mean giving up, Gavin said with careful words: "After all, it is wartime, some inherent concepts should be put down in due time, everything is aimed at winning the final victory, and urban construction and protection of nature are not in conflict, the population is concentrated, but it is easy to manage, if a large number of urban people enter the wilderness and open up new settlements, I believe there will be more conflicts, after all, those urban citizens will do whatever it takes to survive and seek wealth." ”
"I try to lobby, but I can't guarantee how much I can convince." Hanso gave an ambiguous answer.
"Yes, when Your Excellency finishes lobbying, we will discuss this matter in depth according to the results." Gavin is no longer entangled in this issue, and if he can't do it, he will transfer the Vandruid from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the territory, and put together a patchwork, although there are not a hundred people, but there are still twenty or thirty people, and they are influenced by themselves, and their ideas have become relatively open.
"Okay, what about the second thing?"
