The fighting during this period became extremely difficult and cruel. Many heavy armored infantry died on the battlefield at the entrance of the cave, and injuries were commonplace.
But for some unknown reason, the Ghost Pattern Ant Queen has been dormant in the Dark Worm Valley and has never personally launched an attack on the Lord Army.
Surdak also heard for the first time that hundreds of thousands of natives from the southern tribe were marching to Dodan Town overnight. They were a group of devout believers in nature. They pursued the truth of vegetation from nature and were good at using medicinal herbs.
The dozen girls who followed Nika were very involved in common herbal medicine. They could find some plant roots from the grass and treat the injured warriors.
Now, Surdak can only wait and see what happens.
According to the news from the merchants of Dodan Town, this group of southern tribesmen only wanted to pass through Dodan Town. Surdak could guess that they were summoned by the Son of Nature, and their destination was naturally the Dark Worm.
valley.
This group of tribal aborigines must have come for the towering pod growing in the center of the Dark Worm Valley.
No matter what, this is by no means good news for Surdak's Lord Army...
The noble lords of Wilkes City cunningly chose to sit on the sidelines at this time. Of course, they would not help Surdak to stop these tribal aborigines.
If possible, they wished that Surdak's lord army could suffer some losses on the battlefield.
At this time, the noble lords of Wilkes City will never send troops to help.
The Chester Great Swordsman from the Wilkes City Military Department sent a confidant to the battlefield in the Dark Worm Valley overnight. He wanted to listen to Suldak's opinion. If necessary, the Luther Legion
All the garrison troops will be mobilized to stop these tribal aborigines on the prairie.
At present, the combined forces of Luther's Army and Surdak's Lord's Army do not exceed 150,000. If Surdak wants to stop hundreds of thousands of tribal aboriginals from moving north, they must completely abandon the battlefield in the Dark Worm Valley area.
Moreover, this group of southern tribal aborigines did not show any hostility.
They are simply moving towards faith…
So Suldak has been hesitating and has not made up his mind to stop them.
With the revival of everything in the Dark Worm Valley, the ghost-patterned soldier ants are fighting the Lord's army at the entrance of the cave this month.
Lord Surdak's army has been engaged in a bitter battle for the past month, with the number of casualties rising continuously, and various voices emerging from within.
Some lord army commanders hope that Surdak can evacuate the Dark Worm Valley as soon as possible, so as to ensure maximum profits. Some lords hope to move to the Three Rivers Plain, and take advantage of the frozen lakes in winter and the red-backed giant turtles to fall into sleep.
They have left their nest. Some lords are worried that once the ghost-striped ant queen appears, the war situation here will deteriorate further.
The worries of the lords are reasonable, but these proposals are not what Surdak wants to see.
He never thought about giving up the Dark Worm Valley at this time.
Suldak sat in the military tent, took the towel handed over by Selena, wiped his greasy face, and rubbed his forehead as he had a headache.
Selena stood behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and made him lean back, with the back of his head resting on her plump chest. She pressed his forehead with her thumb and index finger to let him relax. Recently, Su
Erdak has been under tremendous pressure.
More than once, he thought about leading the lord army to evacuate here...
The war in the Dark Worm Valley has only been stalemate for a month, but there are so many voices in the Alliance Lords' army. Surdak now has a profound understanding of how difficult it will be for Archduke Newman in the Warsaw plane, and he does not know how to withstand it.
How much pressure does it take to maintain the current situation?
Today, the situation of Surdak's Lord's Army is not very optimistic either.
Once this group of aborigines from the southern tribes enters the Dark Worm Valley and forms a flanking attack with the ghost-marked red ants, his lord's army will have no way out.
But even so, he still has the confidence to lead the Lord's army out of here, so Surdak can continue to wait patiently here.
…
A familiar voice calls in my ears...
'Dak, Dak!'
Surdak suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the black sky was in chaos. He was lying barefoot on the grass. He supported his body with his hands, sat up from the soft grass blanket, and looked around with a blank expression.
Here is a platform that is not too big. The ground is covered with grass, and it looks like a certain demiplane.
Surdak just blinked and saw Selina wearing a priest's robe, appearing leisurely opposite him.
She is like the master here and can control everything here...
He just stretched out his hand, and a tray filled with wine and fruits appeared in his palm.
But just when she turned back to look at Suldak, that face turned into another beautiful face.
It was that face that seemed to radiate with infinite light, forcing him not to dare to look directly at it.
He didn't even need to think about it, but an idea came to his mind naturally. That face belonged to the goddess of the night...
God cannot be looked at directly, not even in Selina's dreams.
Surdak quickly lowered his head and did not look directly at the woman. He blinked his sore eyes hard, and tears wetted his eyes, and his vision became blurry.
Then, those dazzling lights slowly disappeared, and Selena reappeared next to Suldak, with a graceful smile on her face...
She held a clay pot, walked to Surdak, let Surdak lie on her lap, and then poured out the water in the pot to clean Surdak's eyes.
The water was very cool and seemed to contain some magical power.
"This is my dream. I pulled you into my dream." Selena lowered her head and whispered in Suldak's ear.
Surdak looked at her face and reached out to touch it. Her face was soft and smooth, and it didn't feel like she was in a dream.
...Maybe this is an extremely real dream.
Selena didn't explain much. She pointed her finger at Suldak's side and said, "Look over there..."
Surdak turned his head and saw a pod rising into the sky at an infinite distance across the grass. It looked exactly like the pod in the Dark Worm Valley.
That’s why he subconsciously blurted out: “The pod in the center of the Dark Worm Valley?”
Selena wiped the water from his face, pulled him to sit up, and explained to him: "Haha, it's not a pod, it's a World Tree seedling. If it grows into a World Tree in the future,
That is the same existence as the goddess."
Surdak also thought about the extraordinary origin of the pod in the Dark Worm Valley, but he never thought that it turned out to be a World Tree seedling...
"Why did you call me into your dream?" Suldak asked Selina strangely. The two of them were together almost every day these days. Even if they had something to say, they could talk when they were awake.
Selena pointed to the pea pod-like World Tree and said:
"It's this World Tree that wants to communicate with you. My dream can't accommodate it. The goddess helped me a little... and then she seemed to want to chat with you for a few words. She probably has some things to tell you that she doesn't want me to tell you.
It’s just that you can’t look at her directly yet, so she left.”
'A World Tree sapling wants to communicate with me?'
Surdak's eyes widened, and his heart was extremely messy...
'The World Sapling revived everything in the valley, and was obviously an accomplice of the ghost-striped red ants. At this time, it contacted me through the dream of the Night Goddess. Do you hope that you can surrender and withdraw from this valley?'
Surdak was thinking wildly at this moment, and then he raised his head to look at the soaring pod in the distance, but the pod in front of him suddenly turned into a tree.
The tree is at the highest point of the grassland and looks like a golden tree dozens of meters high.
The huge crown of the tree is covered with gold leaves, which can make a rustling sound when blown by the breeze.
The World Tree sapling did not transform into a human face. A gentle force of nature entered Surdak's heart. Surdak clearly felt that it was saying hello. This kind of spiritual communication was actually
The one who can best express his truest thoughts. If it weren't for Selena's dream, Surdak wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Hello, human lord, I am Woodward Lynch, the son of nature..." The gentle voice of the world tree came over.
"Hello, great son of nature, Wardwo Lynch, I am Surdak." Surdak said quickly.
The gentle voice continued:
"You are very good at talking. First of all, I want to thank you. It was you who launched an attack on the ghost-striped red ants and threatened them with annihilation, so that I could see the light of day again from the stomach of the ghost-striped ant queen, where not only all life was
Extinct, it will absorb the original life from me every moment."
"Now I have been able to sprout and grow in the Dark Worm Valley. Although I am still weak now, at least I am in a much better situation than in its stomach."
Surdak didn't know how to continue the conversation, but fortunately his gentle voice did not stop, but continued:
"The reason why it released me is probably because it thought I was just a seed that fell into an indefinite sleep and had no memory of the outside world."
"But it doesn't understand the inheritance of World Tree. Everything it did to my mother and me, every detail is engraved on me."
Suldak then took the opportunity to ask:
"Excuse me, why would it release you under such circumstances?"
The World Tree continued in a gentle voice: "Probably to use my power to revive the vegetation in this valley and allow all things to grow. Only in this environment can the ghost-patterned soldier ants exert their strongest combat power."
"And although it didn't guess that I had all the memories, it was still suspicious of me. It hadn't appeared on the battlefield for so many days, just to put some restrictions on me. This time I found you through the goddess of the night,
I also hope that we can join hands to deal with the ghost-patterned ant queen, I need to use some of your strength."
Surdak's eyes lit up and he was about to say, 'Okay, okay! If you have any requests, just ask!'
World Tree Sapling has passed on its request: "Please listen to my conditions. If we form an alliance... I need you to do three things for me!"
The World Tree proposed three things: "The first thing is that we must join forces to deal with the red ants, the enemy that currently poses the greatest threat to me. As the guardians of the World Tree, they have completely betrayed their original promises, and they even want to absorb me.
The mother's power eventually became the demigods of this world, so I want them to accept punishment."
"This is a simple thing, and it's what I'm doing now!" Suldak nodded in agreement.
World Sapling said again: "The second thing is, after things calm down here, you have to help me clean up all the giant mushrooms here."
"Dig them all out of the Dark Worm Valley and transport them away? That's no problem, I heard that this giant mushroom has great medicinal value..." Surdak agreed happily.
World Sapling then made his last request: "The third thing, I want to punish those rocs."
Before Surdak could reply, the message from the World Sapling was passed on: "And some of the benefits I can give you are that, except for the living space I need, everything in this valley belongs to you, and this
The valley will be protected by me, and my followers in the Bailin plane will work for you."
Hearing what World Sapling said, Surdak immediately thought of the aborigines of the southern tribes who were heading towards the Dark Worm Valley. Those aborigines seemed to be its believers. Wouldn't this increase the number of dozens of people at once?
Thousands of people...
"Do you have any way to deal with the ghost-striped ant queen?" Suldak took the opportunity to ask.
"As long as it can help me get out of trouble, I have a way!" The voice of the world sapling echoed in Surdak's spiritual sea of consciousness: "The ant queen has set some restrictions on me. There are ghost-patterned worker ants entrenched at the end of all my roots. At present,
As long as I make the slightest move, these worker ants will immediately eat my rhizomes. I need your help to solve this problem."
"And I have the power given by the essence of life, I think I should be able to defeat it..."
The one mentioned by World Sapling is naturally the queen of the ant tribe!
Since someone came forward and wanted to help him deal with the ant queen, Surdak certainly had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, this matter was contacted by the Dark Goddess, Surdak said:
"In this case, then we can draw up an alliance contract. To be honest, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to form an alliance with a big tree in my life, and it is also a world tree..."
In this dream, Selina was the leader here. She waved her hand, and a high-level contract scroll appeared in her hand.
Surdak unfolded the contract scroll, carefully wrote on it what he had said to the World Tree seedling, and finally signed his name.
The World Tree sapling simply left a soul imprint, and a light blue leaf pattern appeared on the scroll, and then a gentle voice came next: "I didn't expect to use a human lord to escape from the hands of the ants.
