Chapter 814: Seeing the Dragon Acorn Tree Again

"The gods are playing a game. If they win, the gains are great, but if they lose, they will be buried with them." The Storm Queen said disapprovingly, "Especially for this kind of existence that does not know which god it represents, it is easy to be involved in an unknown war of gods, and must be treated with caution."

"I didn't expect that Queen Xinbu, who has always been known for her quick temper, is so steady in her philosophy of governing the country." King Yasan smiled like an old fox, "After the turmoil of the gods last year, the laws of the gods' beliefs have changed, and most gods have greatly increased their reliance on secular beliefs.

Last year's catastrophe was not the end, but a beginning. The pattern of the gods is likely to undergo huge changes and adjustments.

The gods are all making plans and making moves, but I'm afraid that the gods themselves have no way to control how it will develop.

Their chess pieces are not dead things without will. In the process of development, unexpected changes often occur, and this is the case with Commander Gavin now.

He is not only the elect of Lady Strategy, but also has a close relationship with Mielikki, who advocates development in the natural pantheon. Now there is a natural balancer of unknown origin.

He himself integrated a series of resources in his hands, and actually forcibly passed a migration and immigration road, allowing himself to start dabbling in the road priesthood. This is a new pioneering neutral priesthood, which is not only extremely useful for secular development, but also in line with the interests of most gods. Whether it is those good gods or evil beings, they are in a wait-and-see state, which gives him countless possibilities. "

When he reached the position of King Yasan, he needed to weigh not only secular interests, but also the interests of the gods. It is also an extremely important part.

If the series of development plans they formulated complement the interests of most gods, then the implementation will be like sailing with the current, and it will go a thousand miles a day.

But if the situation is exactly the opposite, it is not as simple as sailing against the current. It is very likely that it will be difficult to move forward, or even die halfway.

If the implementation of the plan is completely contrary to the will, or even shakes the faith of most gods, the situation will be serious, and the ruling position will be lost. It is commonplace. In the words of the Far Eastern Empire, it is called going against the will of heaven.

"In that case, you are also one of those who are happy to see it happen!" After King Yasan explained this, the Storm Queen, who was not very interested in the young man who was gaining fame, could not help but become a little interested.

Although she left the daily affairs of the Kingdom of Agoralon to the advisory team led by the chief advisor most of the time, she was the real queen of the kingdom after all. She was still very concerned about the development of the kingdom and was clear about her own strengths and weaknesses.

The road was one of the fatal shortcomings of Agoralon. This certainly became one of the means to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Sel, but it also restricted its own rapid development.

"Yes." King Yasan's smile grew even wider. "The development of a road can bring about far more things than we imagined. It can not only open up more territories for intelligent creatures, but also drive the development of the surrounding economy.

With convenient transportation, those cities are no longer isolated cities, and the territories are no longer developing on their own, but are interconnected, closely related, and complement each other's strengths.

It can maximize the advantages of each city and create five or even ten times the wealth without changing the population.

This lays a solid foundation for the establishment of a huge cross-regional empire. According to his current development model, the achievements he will make in the future are beyond my estimation. It is not impossible for him to be deified as a mortal."

In the past period of time, King Yasan has worked hard on Gavin and studied the secret of his rapid rise.

The deeper the research, the more he found that the other party's success was not a coincidence, but a general trend of future development.

The isolated city development model of intelligent creatures in Feren has reached a bottleneck-when the population reaches a certain level, it is impossible to bear the burden of the supply around the city alone, and satellite cities must be expanded to assist in supply.

However, without sufficient military support, such newly established settlements are very dangerous, and the entire settlement will be slaughtered at any time.

Even if they are built, roads are the top priority.

Even if the demand for roads in the Kingdom of Cormier has increased significantly with the stable development in recent decades.

As long as all the roads in the country can be newly planned and constructed, their tax revenue will be conservatively estimated to increase three times without any increase in land area.

As an extremely far-sighted ruler, King Yasan only contracted Gavin, who was involved in the King's Forest and needed to build roads with natural races, to assist him in the construction. Other roads were still handed over to domestic construction teams to build by themselves.

Building their own modern magic construction team is the latest topic for all the battle mages in the Kingdom of Cormier.

As long as they are given a little time, King Yasan believes that their explosive construction speed will only be stronger than Gavin. After all, their huge foundation is there, and the number and quality of spellcasters they have are not comparable to a young man who has just risen.

It is a very high standard of praise for a mortal to be deified.

It is not uncommon for mortals in Faerun to be promoted to the ranks of gods.

But every one of them was promoted by a more powerful god. Some were reborn by the previous god, and some became the carrier of the godhood.

There is only one mortal who has deified himself with his own strength - Karsus.

Although he became a god for only a short moment, he was destroyed by uncontrolled magic.

"So, his choice of the relatively remote city of Usmer instead of the city of Tevram in Cesk was not accidental, but was to further utilize his own advantages?" Xinbu said thoughtfully.

"Yes." King Yasan nodded affirmatively, "He has already formed his layout there. Just wait and see. Within a few months, it will become a brand new giant valley, and all forces will be fully mobilized by him, including the natural forces there.

Your Majesty should have the most experience. Those natural races are certainly the most stubborn and conservative people, but if you become their friends and benefactors, they will spare no effort to support you in some matters.

Yamen Khan previously borrowed the power of the Lord of Withering to disrupt the situation in the giant valley and put pressure on the Kingdom of Leatherman from behind.

It is also a double-edged sword. If successful, it will certainly bring considerable pressure to the Kingdom of Leatherman and even disrupt the entire situation in the Eastern Region.

But if it fails, it will also backfire on itself, making the residents of the giant valley share the same hatred and join the ranks of the confrontation."

"I want to see if this young commander is as amazing as you say." The interest of the Queen of Storms was completely aroused.

Because the Agoralon Kingdom she ruled had a very unique geographical location, located on a huge peninsula deep into the Falling Star Sea, but they were at the end, surrounded by another kingdom, Otunbel, at the front, and in the middle of the kingdom was an ancient forest, Youmulin, which occupied nearly half of the country's land area.

This layout led to their reliance on sea transportation rather than land transportation.

It was just that communication between coastal cities was simple, but it was more difficult between the north and the south. Things that could be solved by land transportation of 200 to 300 kilometers would require a detour of thousands of kilometers by sea transportation.

What really restricted the development of roads in the Agoralon Kingdom was the old problem.

The balance between nature and development, especially the roads that crossed the forest.

Whether it was the wild animals in the ancient forest or the indigenous people, it would have a very big impact and impact, and many natural races were naturally repelled.

In many places, the roads that crossed the forest were forcibly opened up with swords and axes.

And the dominant forces in Agoralon were those natural forces, especially the half-elves, who were the first in Faerun in terms of both number and proportion. One out of three people here was a half-elf.

They are descendants of wood elves with a strong sense of nature. Even half-elves love and protect the forest far more than some more open elves.

Therefore, three hundred years ago, half-elves and human residents broke out in sharp conflict and started a war called "Indal's Arm".

This war caused the peninsula to be divided into two. The half-elves established the current Agoralon with Yumulin as the center. Those humans who refused to put down their axes were driven to the end of the Indal Peninsula and established Otunbel in a place full of reefs and islands.

To this day, the relationship between the two sides is still not harmonious.

Even as the most prestigious queen in the history of the Kingdom of Agoralon, Xinbu still has to be cautious in dealing with matters related to racial disputes and follow ancient traditions as much as possible.

And these traditions are not entirely beneficial to the prosperity of a country.

…

Whether it was the witches of the Kingdom of Leatherman or the high-ranking officials of the Feren coalition in the city of Tevram, they only had a glimpse of the battle in the Lesser Forest, and could not imagine how huge the subsequent impact and changes would be.

Even Gavin, the person involved, did not expect it.

The Dragon Oak Mother Tree did not just purify the Lord of Withering and the damage he caused, but directly used her corpse and the withered land as nutrients, and forcibly gave birth to a Dragon Oak Tree.

Although this new Dragon Oak Tree could not be compared with the Lord of Withering, it was about three times taller than the one in Eagle Cliff Town, the Dragon Oak Territory of Rocky Land.

It looked like a combination of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Demon Tree, with the dragon scale bark of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, but the thorny crown of the Demon Tree, and the representative eight vine tentacles, on which a large number of gourd-shaped fruits were also hung.

But these fruits were not purple, but emerald green, and there was no terrifying big mouth on the trunk.

It abandoned the way of life of the magic tree that quickly gave birth to magic tree people by eating flesh and blood, because it has a more convenient source of energy.

On the one hand, it relies on the dragon oak mother tree behind it, and on the other hand, it has a close connection with the forest, and it is not a one-sided absorption, but a mutual benefit. This is more intuitive through the properties of this dragon oak tree.

Dragon oak tree.

Vitality: 512 (32D8+384)

Size: Super giant

Attributes: Strength 39, Agility 7, Constitution 35, Intelligence 12, Perception 18, Charisma 12

Special abilities: Plant characteristics, partial immunity to piercing, damage reduction 10/-, telepathy, tree perception, root entanglement, mastery of grappling, paralysis, thorn shooting, hatching natural guards, dragon oak portal, dream purification network.

Most of the abilities of the Dragon Acorn Tree are very similar to those of the Demon Tree, and some are even common abilities among tree people, such as plant characteristics, partial immunity to punctures, damage reduction, tree perception and root entanglement, etc. The only difference is the size and strength.

Paralysis, Thorn Shooting and Hatching Nature Guard are inherited from the Magic Tree, especially the last one. The Magic Tree is unique in the entire natural world. Currently, there is no known one.

The last two abilities are worth emphasizing, which are unique to the Dragon Oak Tree.

The Dragon Oak Portal is naturally familiar. The first Dragon Oak Tree in Eagle Cliff Town, Rocky Dragon Oak Territory, was planted because of this ability.

They can teleport through the connection between the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the child tree.

Not only can the mother tree and the child tree be teleported, but also between the child trees.

The significance to Gavin can be imagined. He can directly transfer some dog-headed soldiers and supplies from the Dragon Oak Territory or the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

It needs to be emphasized that the use of the portal is not uncontrolled.

Even in Faerun, the law of conservation of energy must be followed. It is just that due to the characteristics of magic and the multiverse, this law is more diverse.

Each portal has the function of gathering magic power. Once the accumulated magic power is used up, it means that the portal will temporarily stop working until it accumulates enough energy for the next use.

This means that the number of transmissions per day for the same portal is closely related to the transmission distance and the weight of the materials to be transmitted.

The closer the distance, the more materials can be transmitted under the same energy, and vice versa.

The dragon oak portal is no exception. Without causing too much pressure on the dragon oak tree itself, it can transmit up to 100 dog-headed soldiers carrying no more than 10 kilograms of equipment and cargo from Eagle Cliff Town every day. If all other functions stop working for 24 hours, the number can increase by three times.

For creatures of other sizes, it is the same. Humans can only transmit 50, large ones 25, and super large ones 12. They can only reach this size at most. Giant ones and above cannot pass through the dragon oak portal.

If you want to transport troops on a large scale, you have to use land or air transportation. The portal is just a supplement.

For Gavin, the daily transmission of 100 kobolds is enough. After all, it is in the early stage of mobilizing troops. He only has 500 elite humans, a 100-man kobold road construction team and two teams of field medical soldiers.

What really makes Gavin feel that he has gained a lot is the last ability.

Dream Purification Network (special ability)-After entering the rooting state, it will automatically establish a connection with the surrounding natural plants to form a life cycle network, which can slowly purify all living things within the coverage range and expel various corrupt forces from them.

Those creatures that stay here for more than eight hours will recover at least a little vitality (equal to the physical adjustment value), and there is also a certain chance of curing the disease on their body (the chance of expelling diseases caused by corrupt forces is greatly increased).

The coverage area of ​​the Dream Purification Network is related to physical fitness (physical adjustment value/kilometer, the current coverage radius is 12.5 kilometers).

If it is an intelligent creature with sufficient internal attributes, it can access the Dragon Oak Dream through this network.

To put it bluntly, this is a signal tower of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree in the material plane, which allows all creatures in the coverage area to have the opportunity to enter the Dragon Oak Dream.

To be more precise, it should be a local area network.

Just like the temporary dream woven above the Lesir Forest before, the Dragon Oak Tree can also weave a small dream of its own with itself as the center. This dream is independent of the Dragon Oak Dream and interconnected.

The benefits of doing so are obvious. This will become an affiliated external network of the Dragon Oak Dream. Only those who pass the assessment and selection are eligible to enter the Dragon Oak Dream.

This is done for the safety of the Dragon Oak Dream. After all, for those powerful spellcasters and some special beings, the dream can also become a channel to reach the other side along this channel - the nine-ring spell can travel to the other world together.

The Dragon Oak Dream is completely tied to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Gavin and his men don't want the enemy to attack through the dream, so they naturally have to set up a lot of protective nets.

Not only this, the Aroshi Dream being formed in the forest of the Kingdom of Cormier and the Eagle Cliff Dream supported by the Dragon Acorn Tree in the Dragon Oak Territory are also subordinate outer dreams, and there are strict restrictions on each other.

The significance of this ability is far more than that.

Don't forget that the Dragon Acorn Tree also inherited another ability of the Magic Tree - hatching natural guards.

In fact, they are the activated seeds of the Dragon Acorn Tree, and will inherit all the abilities of the Dragon Acorn Tree, including the ability of the dream purification network.

As long as enough natural guards are hatched, the subsidiary network of the Dragon Oak Dream can cover all parts of the world.

The Giant Valley Druids, led by the two great druids, Natyat and Hanso, were more excited than Gavin when they knew the special abilities of the Dragon Acorn Tree.

Hanso trembled a little and couldn't help saying: "The Natural Balancer lives up to this name. Planting a natural guard in those corrupted places will completely purify them in a short time."

Compared with Gavin, these druids are still considering the role of purifying the forest.

"This is indeed the general direction of purifying the forest from corruption, but you shouldn't think too highly of it. Like this time, the Natural Balancer personally intervened to launch a large-scale war because of the strong support from your Les Cult. Without you, there would be no way to mobilize the power of the entire Lesel Forest.

The natural guards born from the subtrees will inevitably be as weak as the newly born magic trees under normal circumstances, and their purification ability is relatively limited. If they are rashly put into the battlefield, they will not only fail to purify, but will be counterattacked and destroyed by those evil forces. "Gavin gave the great druid Hanso a vaccination in advance.

The Lesir Dragon Oak Tree can grow to its current size in a short period of time. On the one hand, it is the unremitting support of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, and on the other hand, it absorbs a lot of nutrients from the Lord of Withering. The help contributed by all the creatures in the Lesir Forest cannot be ignored.

When the subtrees hatch the natural guards on a large scale and bloom in full, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree will not have such a strong ability to support multiple battlefields, and may not have the corresponding conditions.
