In addition to expanding the spiritual network, the effect of the spiritual seed also has many other abilities, such as complementing the host's mind, making the host stronger and more determined at the spiritual level.
For example, through the transformation of the spiritual level, it affects the strengthening of the real body, the development of talent potential, etc.
Of course, Lando is also researching the latter point, and there are not many results in this area yet.
Of course, the idea of soul seeds is not Lando's original creation. It is also an idea he got from his past life's experience. The original intention of the research is to better use the insights he got from nature.
In Lando's view, the most important thing for gods to harvest faith is not to show unparalleled power, but only one ability is enough, and that is to bestow healing skills on believers!
Healing, this is the basic magical skill that all believers of all gods in the DND system will inevitably be given after becoming priests. It can be said that it has penetrated the decline and prosperity of a church, and is the core ability of all churches, no one!
But now, the natural healing originating from the Druid system has been reshaped by Lando and added to the spiritual seed as a basic ability that every host will awaken after completing the stay.
The spiritual seed will also become an important layout for Lando to upgrade the mutual aid association into a church.
He tilted his palm slightly and allowed the spiritual seed in his hand to fall into Luca's body. The latter was still giving a passionate speech and did not notice it at all, but Lando could already faintly feel that the latter had begun to undergo inexplicable changes.
With a slight smile, Lando disappeared into the void. Next, he would go to other places to spread the spiritual seeds. The essence of this spiritual seeds also comes from his mind space, so the best host is someone who has a faith connection with him.
Although they cannot gather too many people, the number accumulated is enough to satisfy the current mutual aid association.

Baruch, as one of the few large cities in the east, also fulfilled its obligation at this time and blocked the 20,000-strong army sent by the High King to capture Marquis Pierce.
The 20,000 troops include 10,000 warriors, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 500 elite forbidden knights.
We don't need to mention the auxiliary soldiers, but the 10,000 warriors are fighting on the border battlefields all year round. Each of them is an executioner who takes pleasure in killing, and they are extremely fierce.
Not to mention the five hundred elite Imperial Guard knights, each of them is at least an intermediate-level warrior professional, proficient in melee combat and crossbows, wearing sophisticated armor, holding sharp weapons, and the horses underneath them are all special horses with Warcraft blood.
, not only has amazing endurance, but is also extremely adaptable to the bloody environment. In fact, every member of the Imperial Guard will receive a cub when they join the Imperial Guards, and they will be raised by themselves from an early age. They have a tacit understanding. It can be said that if the battlefield is placed on the plains, just
These five hundred knights are enough to scatter, defeat and destroy tens of thousands of soldiers!
On the other hand, the Marquis has accumulated more than 50,000 soldiers in Baruch City, but they do not dare to take the initiative at all. Instead, they mainly defend the city safely and plan to wait for reinforcements.
As for the Gondor army, they also chose to stay put for the time being. Since the army has already pressed on the border, there is no reason to use troops quickly. Now that they have come in the name of righteousness, they have already received responses from many forces in the east, and even many forces.
In order to win the favor of the Supreme King, he has already brought his own soldiers on the way. If we can have more cannon fodder, it will be easier to attack the city when we really want to attack it.
In this way, the situation that was about to reach a fever pitch seemed to have come to a standstill.
A few days later, Marquis Pierce, Brendan and the Corpse Witch, now the three giants of the East, entered Baruch City with a large number of elite warriors.
Because today's Marquis of Pierce and Brendan are no longer what they used to be, they have entered the realm of legends, especially Marquis of Pierce, who is even stronger than many ordinary legends, so they are not opposed to going deep into the front line, relying on the telepathic space
With the many abilities granted by strength, even if you are defeated, it is not difficult to escape.
After understanding the current situation, Marquis Pierce decided that he could not delay any longer. Prolonging the delay would only make those outsiders more shaken. After all, the power of the High King of Gondor is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He now needs to achieve certain results and give
The fellow traveler showed confidence and also showed those outsiders that he, Marquis Pierce, was not powerless to resist!
Lando stood in the void above Baruch City, quietly watching everything in front of him, and at the same time he understood Marquis Pierce's decision.
He had no objection to this.
For Marquis Pierce, he can either achieve a staged victory, complete his goal, and then happily report to Lando: Sir, the goal we set originally has been achieved, all plans are on track, and now it is up to you to show force.
After that, we can start planning the next step!
Or if he loses the war and is defeated in a destructive manner, he will kneel down in front of Lando in embarrassment and say dejectedly: Sir, I have lost, and I can only ask you to clean up the mess!
Marquis Pierce would never choose to summon Lando before the war begins, and then say to him: Look, sir, the enemy's troops are already lined up over there. Please defeat them so that we can directly welcome victory!
Lando came to this world to become a god, not a universal wishing box. He knew this. Although Marquis Pierce and others did not know this, they at least understood this truth.
…………
Early the next morning after the Marquis of Pierce entered the city of Baruch, the Gondor army discovered the strange movement in the city of Baruch.
The Marquis' army roared out of the city of Baruch and began to line up outside the city, seemingly wanting to compete head-on with the Gondor army.
This left the two generals and the knight leaders confused and a little uneasy. Normally, the quality of the Edomite army could never compete with the Gondor army. Shrinking was their only option. Now they were preparing for a head-on confrontation.
, when things go wrong, there must be monsters. This principle also exists in Gondor.
But the three of them decided to fight because they really couldn't find a reason to avoid the battle. On the contrary, if they chose to avoid the battle, they would lose too much.
So, the general of the Gondor army began to order, quickly light a fire to cook, and take out all the stored dry food and meat for the soldiers to share.
About an hour later, both sides completed their assembly preparations and began to move towards each other!
"Boom!~"
Like two torrents colliding, the brutal fighting entered a state of anxiety from the beginning.
When Lando saw this scene in the void, he was also a little shocked. They said that the number of people was over 10,000, and it was boundless. But the battle of tens of thousands of people below, and there were many high-level professionals among them, was simply full of special effects, no
Comparable to any blockbuster movie.
The sky is raging with flames of war, rivers of blood flow, and corpses litter the fields...
He could feel that there were many beings hiding nearby, observing this battle.
The elite knights of the Gondor army began to move out. They were like sharp blades, easily cutting through the Marquis' army. The morale of all the Marquis' soldiers who witnessed this scene was greatly reduced, while the Gondor army cheered loudly, as if celebrating.
The coming victory.
When the elite guard knights turned their horses and charged the Marquis' army again, Marquis Pierce finally activated his hidden trump card.
I saw a group of tall warriors wearing cloaks. When the elite guard knights turned their horses, they quietly adjusted their positions and came to the route where they were about to charge. Before they were about to be charged, they took off their cloaks and saw that there were hundreds of heavily clothed warriors.
Iron armor, heavy shield infantry carrying a huge stainless steel shield.
"Iron Shield Guard, stand up your shield!"
A loud shout rang out, and all the iron shield guards uniformly picked up the giant steel shields behind them and placed them in front of them. There was a jagged design under the giant steel shield, which could effectively increase friction and prevent collisions.
"Boom!~"
Because there was no room to turn, the elite guard knights collided directly with the giant steel shield. The horses' muscles and bones were broken, and the knights were directly thrown away. The iron shield guards also had a hard time. With such a huge impact, many people
The shoulder blade was directly broken, and the person was also thrown away.
The brutal impact did not last long, but by the time the elite knights of the guard reacted and turned their horses, they had already lost hundreds of people. When the momentum was exhausted, forcing the formation was tantamount to seeking death, so
The captains of each team ordered to turn around and temporarily evacuate the battlefield.
The ensuing battle was still fierce, and the elite guard knights were almost a decoration, because every time they tried to rush into the battle, there would always be a group of tall figures in cloaks blocking their way forward. After several times, they also
Upon reflection, most of them should be fake, but even if they understood it, it was useless, the elite guard knights still did not dare to charge into the formation.
As for the reason, the cost of building the more than 100 elite guard knights just lost was far more than the 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and almost the same as the 10,000 warriors. This kind of treasure is destined to be impossible to consume.
The battle lasted until the afternoon. When both sides retreated and counted their losses, the result was surprising.
The Gondor army suffered nearly 2,000 dead and nearly 3,000 wounded, while the Marquis' army suffered nearly 4,000 dead and more than 5,000 wounded.
The Gondor army cannot accept this number of casualties. Although most of the dead are auxiliary soldiers, in their view, to deal with a group of ragtag people, they should be overwhelming, not like this.
The Marquis is quite satisfied with this result. Although there are more troops gathered here, due to geographical reasons, there are almost no large-scale wars in the east. The soldiers are nothing more than a group of new recruits who have never been on the battlefield.
To collapse immediately at the beginning of the battle is already considered well-trained, and I am certainly satisfied with the results achieved today.
The trump card that appeared in the war, the Iron Shield Guards, was a trump card that Marquis Pierce had secretly created a long time ago. Perhaps at that time, Marquis Pierce regarded the elite guard knights as imaginary enemies.
At this time, the atmosphere in the central camp of the Gondor army was a bit dull. The three of them were unable to accept the outcome of this battle. The two generals wanted to accuse the knights of the guard for their inaction. Based on the situation on the battlefield at that time, the most they could do was
The knights of the Imperial Guard have penetrated the enemy formation twice, and the Marquis army will definitely be completely defeated. By then, they will be able to easily harvest the battlefield and win a hearty victory, instead of being as aggrieved as they are now.
But after looking at the gloomy offering from their superiors, they chose to remain silent.
The knight leader was also helpless. Generally speaking, legendary warriors were not allowed to join in large-scale army battles, otherwise the casualties would be too heavy. But when he found something was wrong, he didn't care about it. He wanted to go up and take command, at least with his legendary reputation.
When the level of induction pointed out to the Guards Knight which Iron Shield Guards were real and which were fake, he was stopped by a black-robed man who suddenly appeared. The same was generally true for the two generals.
Rather than blaming the knight leader, the two generals actually wanted to ask where the legendary peak leader was and why he didn't come to the rescue.
The worshiper said heavily: "The people from the White Elephant Tower didn't come, but... the tower owner of the Ring of Nature is here!"
The three people were just silent in the first sentence. Although they all knew that the upper level had formed a tacit understanding with the White Elephant Tower, they could not say anything if the other party did not contribute during the war. When they heard the next sentence, the three people's expressions immediately changed. Although they knew
The Ring of Nature has been secretly supporting Marquis Pierce, but that was only secretly. They did not expect that they would directly jump out to join the Marquis's camp and stand on the opposite side of their Gondor army.
"He stopped you?" Although he already understood the meaning of the offering, the knight leader still asked without giving up.
The worshiper nodded silently.
"What about the White Elephant Tower? Aren't they at odds with the Marquis? Why don't they send people to contain the people of the Ring of Nature? They just let the Marquis gain the upper hand? What good does this do to them?!" A general
When I asked in doubt, I got a long silence.
"The fact that the people from the White Elephant Tower didn't come this time is enough to explain a lot of problems." The worshiper said quietly.
For a moment, the three people's backs felt cold. If Gondor's two extraordinary spellcasting organizations all join the Marquis camp, the consequences will be...
"In short, the current situation has exceeded our expectations. It is better to retreat for a while and consider the long term." Another general said.
"How can we retreat? If we retreat now, wouldn't the majesty of the Supreme King become a laughing stock?!" The knight leader immediately objected.
The face of the worshiper also became more gloomy. He never interrupted during marches and battles, but if the face of the Supreme King was at stake, he would never choose to sit idly by.
The two generals looked at each other, both of them were a little troubled by the fact that they were tired of working with these people who had no military knowledge.
"It's not about retreating, it's just about choosing a more favorable position to camp again!"
After considering this explanation for a long time, the knight leader and the priest reluctantly agreed.
Although both generals understand that if they retreat now, they will lose some initiative, but staying here is not an option. If they continue to fight, their combat power will only be wasted by the other side. And this is the other side's territory, and there is an endless supply of all kinds of cannon fodder. Sooner or later, there will be
If you are beaten to death by the Marquis army, you can only choose favorable terrain to hold on and wait for other anti-Marquis forces to gather, or the High King to mobilize other forces.
Although they suffered a slight setback this time, the four of them always believed that victory would be theirs.
PS: This is the first time I know that war is too difficult to write about. I checked the introduction of the national armies of the Lord of the Rings, ancient Chinese wars, and some lord wars in the West. There were a lot of zero and zero, and finally I brought
I have entered the world view of this world and got the numbers and plots written above. If there are experts in this field, please don’t criticize me and just follow what I wrote. I won’t change it anyway. There is a high probability that this book will be used in the future.
There will be no war scenes. Well, the war will end in the next chapter.
