Chapter 437 Dark Tree Man

Although the postures of tree people are different due to the enlightenment plants, they all have a kind of harmony. At least other humanoid creatures do not feel out of place when they see them.

This situation is obviously not suitable for this group of tree people. They are seriously uncoordinated. Not only are their branches dark, but their appearance is also extremely distorted. They either have multiple hands or multiple feet. On one tree person, two faces appeared, one is an old tree person, and the other is a human woman. It is more appropriate to call them dark tree people.

The three kinds of activated plants add up to nearly a hundred.

Behind them, there is a team of human knights, one holding a sword and the other holding a torch.

The leading cavalryman is not riding a warhorse, but a razor boar that is stronger than a bull. Among humans, it is definitely a majestic existence, but in front of these activated plants, it is obviously not good enough.

This person is none other than Nora, the number one warrior under Zalanda.

Gavin drove the half-moon colt to meet them from a distance and whispered, "Did anything happen along the way?"

"No." Nora took off her helmet, revealing a beautiful face that did not match her huge body. She shook her head and said, "They all cooperated very well, especially the dark tree people. They stood firmly on our side and assisted us in managing the other two kinds of activated plants. Not a single one escaped. There were 89 when we set out, and now there are still 95. Six of them are on the way and joined us on their own initiative."

The activated plants that Nora escorted were captured by the corrupt army that had previously followed the Root of God.

After all, Moando's pet servants were only a minority, and most of them were tortured by the festering disease and forced to drive.

Whether it was the staggerer or the tentacle magic vine, although they looked a little ugly, in essence, they were just neutral activated plants like those hunters such as tigers and black bears, not born evil.

When the culprit who drove them was killed, they basically had no intention of resisting and were all captured by Zalanda's troops.

If they didn't have the disease of corruption, Zalanda would definitely keep them and integrate them into his army as special troops.

She has tasted the sweetness now. Less than ten enlightened trees have helped her a lot. If there are a hundred large activated plants joining, she can do more.

And now, all she can do is send them to Gavin, purify and cure them with the newly restarted Misnoel, and then consider using them.

"Normal, if they want to cure the corruption disease in their bodies as soon as possible, they have to come to me honestly." Gavin looked as if it was a matter of course.

Among these three activated plants, two are intelligent. The dark tree people have the highest intelligence, and the average value is far higher than that of ordinary humans.

The creeping monster is slightly lower, about the same as the dog-headed man, not too smart, but enough to understand most things.

The lowest is the tentacle magic vine, which is about the same as the smarter beast hunter. It is difficult for humans to communicate with it alone. With the help of those intelligent dark tree people, it is undoubtedly much simpler.

Before they set out, Gavin had already met with the dark tree people and reached a basic agreement, using purification and healing as a lure to get them to come on their own initiative.

The cavalry led by Nora was more of a surveillance than an escort. After all, their strength was there. Once these nearly 100 activated plants went berserk, the combat power they burst out could easily destroy an army of more than 10,000 people, especially in the dense forest.

Nora hesitated for a moment and couldn't help saying, "Since entering the Mir Forest, I always feel that there is a tail behind us, following us all the way, until we got close to here, this feeling disappeared."

"Your feeling is not wrong, it's the drow elves' scouts, they are trying to isolate and blockade Misnoel, you are in large numbers, they dare not touch you, if you were alone, they would have attacked you long ago." Gavin confirmed that Nora's feeling was not an illusion.

"I've heard that there are drow elves in the Mir Forest for a long time, but I didn't expect them to be so bold as to commit crimes here openly!" Nora frowned, the drow elves are not good neighbors.

Especially in the dense forest, the army of Tethyr has no advantage over the drow elves.

"When the power of good weakens, evil will take advantage of the situation." Gavin said helplessly, "Our secret war with them has just begun, and we will have headaches in the future."

Compared with the drow elves, the Sambia merchants who were previously considered to be mean are all good people.

This group of Velen believers will not fight you openly at all. They use their ability to hide their tracks to circle around Mysnoel and sabotage whenever they have the chance.

They can't do anything with the puzzle locks, so they start with the residents. Whether it is birds or beasts, as long as they are alone, they are likely to be hunted by them.

Many people who originally tried to join Mysnoel were killed on the last journey.

This was done to prevent them from coming to Misnoel and to retaliate against Gavin.

If the Goliaths were organized to fight back, they would immediately escape into the darkness without a direct confrontation, which made Gavin very angry, but he had no good solution for the time being.

"The best way to deal with forest guerrilla tactics is to organize a stronger and more elite team to fight against them." Nora gave Gavin some advice.

Forest guerrilla tactics are not unique to drow, but are good at all natural races, especially elves.

On the plains, the elves would definitely not be able to fight against the human cavalry.

When they arrived in the forest, the human cavalry were helpless against the elves. If they entered rashly, they would only become nutrients for the forest.

As for setting fire to the forest, even the stupidest human lord cannot do it, or dare not do it - if he really does this, he must face the wrath of the nature gods.

"I don't know, but I lack such elites." Gavin spread his hands helplessly.

Although there are many natural races under his command, none of them are good at fighting.

Hmm, how could I have forgotten them?

Gavin had a flash of inspiration and thought of a suitable troop—the eladrin bodyguards of Lord Virginia.

The Mother Dragon Oak Tree was about to be upgraded and closed. She had to negotiate with Lord Virginia to see if she could borrow an eladrin guerrilla force to help fight against the drow in Mir Forest.

"Dear lord, we are here as promised. Please fulfill your promise and remove the evil beings from me. Afterwards, I will guard the door for your lord forever." A dark tree man walked not far from Gavin. road.

This dark tree man is the least distorted among all the dark tree men, the most special, and the most powerful at the same time.

He has two pairs of arms.

One pair of arms is a normal treant arm, and the other pair is a human female arm.

If these two pairs of arms are separated, they are both beautiful, especially the pair of human female arms, which are smooth and slender, exuding a shining luster. This is not a matter of simple maintenance, but a natural beauty, but if there are two pairs of completely different arms, When concentrated on a tree man, it looks extremely strange.

In addition to the extra arms, there is also a female face on his tree, which is also extremely delicate and beautiful, especially in the bright amber eyes, it seems that you can see your own reflection in them.

But in this case, the more beautiful it is, the more serious the sense of violation will be.

When Gavin's eyes fell on the female face embedded in the tree, the face suddenly began to struggle in pain, and the human female arms began to swing uncontrollably, "Help me...save me...save me …I don’t want to die…”

As he spoke, his eyes uncontrollably emitted magical aura.

The dark tree man immediately raised his broad tree hand to cover the woman's face.

Because that is a precursor to casting a spell to charm humans.

"Okay." Gavin readily agreed, "I don't need to say more about the particularity of your situation. I studied it carefully afterwards and I will try to separate the two of you as much as possible, but the success rate is really hard to say. Once If you fail, you must face a choice, that is, you can only protect one of the two consciousnesses. Which one do you want to protect? "

This dark tree man is special in that before he was transformed into a tree man, he was not an ordinary oak tree, but an oak tree that lived in symbiosis with a tree spirit.

Normally, an oak tree parasitized by a tree spirit cannot be enlightened. This is a law of nature, just like those magical beasts cannot be enlightened. At least druids below the legendary level cannot be enlightened. There are no trees in Faerûn. The sperm-parasitic oak tree was initiated as a precedent.

But Moando, the god of corruption and corruption, is a terrifying existence that breaks the rules of nature. He just used his corrupt power to forcefully activate and enlighten the oak tree of a tree spirit.

This kind of enlightenment is obviously not normal, but fuses flesh and blood with trees, at the expense of the tree spirit's freedom and soul consciousness.

But the problem is that this fusion is not complete. The oak tree awakens its own consciousness, but the tree spirit's consciousness is not completely erased, resulting in two relatively independent consciousnesses in one body, just like a dual personality patient. , self-conflict from time to time, falling into chaos.

And this is what Moando, the god of decay and corruption, likes to see the most. He expects the dark tree people to slowly fall into despair and fall because of this chaos.

"If this really happens, please Paula." The dark tree man said without hesitation.

Although she had just been engendered and enlightened not long ago, her relationship with the symbiotic tree spirit had lasted for hundreds of years.

Although it is motionless, it can share Laura's joy, sorrow and pain every day.

Her memories are all about Laura, or a continuation of her. When Laura disappears, the meaning of her existence will naturally disappear.

"Please protect Tracy...she has just been born...she should go out and take a look...take her share with me..." The tree spirit embedded in the dark tree man reacted, struggling constantly, and his expression changed. He was ferocious, but his words were extremely firm.

The tree spirit and his oak tree have a relationship that ordinary people cannot understand.

Although the dryad can change the symbiotic oak tree through magic rituals, unless it is forced or forced, few dryads do so because she cannot let go of this feeling.

"You still have time to consider this issue. This is just the worst-case scenario. The specific situation depends on the specific development." Gavin pointed at Noel's mysterious lock and said, "From now on, you will be in the mysterious lock." I will take root on the outside of the lock, and I will prescribe the right medicine according to your situation. After I am completely sure that there are no remaining servants of Moando among you, I will naturally consider letting you enter Myth Noel."

These activated plants are different from those that came to my door before.

They were all once controlled by the God's Root or Moando's pet servants. The uncertainty is too great, and their strength is too strong. It is not a wise choice to rashly put them into Mithnoel before they are completely purified.

It is better to put them directly outside the maze as the first line of defense of Mithnoel.

The outside of the maze also has the ability to purify, but the effect is far less than that inside the city.
