Although the tree body forms are limited by enlightenment plants and are different from each other, they all have a kind of harmony. At least other humanoid creatures see it and do not feel it is inconsistent.
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 legs. There are actually two faces emerging on the body of one of the tree people.
The old tree people, one picture is a human female, it is more appropriate to call them dark tree people.
The three types of activated plants add up to nearly a hundred.
Behind them followed a group of human knights in the distance, with swords in one hand and torches in the other.
The leader of the cavalry is not riding a war horse, but a razor boar that is stronger than a bull. Placed among humans, it is definitely a majestic and majestic presence, but placed in front of these activated plants, it is obviously not enough to look at.
This person is none other than Zalanda's number one general, Nora.
Gavin mobilized Ban Yueju to meet him from a distance, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't 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 are all very cooperative, especially the dark tree people, who are firmly on our side and assist us.
We managed the other two activated plants, and not a single one got away. There were eighty-nine when we set out, and they are still ninety-five now, and six of them are on the road and have taken the initiative to join us."
These activated plants escorted by Nora were prisoners of the corrupt army that had previously followed the Root of Gods.
After all, there are only a few pet servants in Moando, and most of them are tortured by the festering disease and forced to do so.
Whether they are staggerers or tentacle vines, although they look a bit uglier, they are essentially the same as hunters such as tigers and black bears. They are just neutral activated plants and are not inherently evil.
After the culprit who drove them was killed, they basically had no desire to resist, and they were all captured by Zalanda's troops.
If there were no corrupting diseases on their bodies, Zalanda would definitely keep them and integrate them into his own army, using them as special units.
She has tasted the benefits now. Less than ten Enlightenment Trees have helped her a lot. If hundreds of huge activated plants join in, she can do even more.
Now, all she can do is send them to Gavin, use the newly restarted Mys Noel purification to cure them, and then consider using them.
"It's normal. If they want to be cured of their corrupting diseases as soon as possible, they have to come to me honestly." Gavin said matter-of-factly.
Of these three activated plants, two are intelligent. The Dark Treant has the highest intelligence, with an average value far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
The shambling monster is a little lower, similar to the kobold, not too smart, but enough to understand most things.
The lowest one is the Tentacle Demonic Vine, which is similar to a 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 easier.
Before they set out on the road, Gavin had already met with the dark tree people and reached a basic agreement, using purification and healing as a temptation to get them to come on their own initiative.
This team of cavalry led by Nora is more suitable for surveillance than escort. After all, the strength is there. Once these nearly a hundred activated plants go wild, the combat power they explode can easily destroy an army of tens of thousands of people.
, especially in dense forests.
Nora hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Ever since we entered Mir Forest, I always felt like there was a tail behind us, following us all the way. This feeling didn't disappear until we got close to here."
"Your feeling is correct. They are the sentinels of the drow elves. They are trying to isolate and blockade Misnoel. You are outnumbered and they dare not touch you. If you were alone, they would have attacked you long ago.
An attack has begun." Gavin confirmed that Nora's feelings were not an illusion.
"I have long heard that there are drow elves in Mir Forest. I didn't expect them to be so bold and openly commit crimes here!" Nora frowned. The drow elves are not good neighbors.
Especially in the dense forest, Tethyr's army has no advantage at all against the drow.
"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 still have headaches in the future."
Compared to the drow, Sembian merchants who were previously thought to be ruthless were all kind-hearted people.
This group of Velen believers will not fight with you openly and openly. They use their ability to be invisible to circle around Mess Noel and cause destruction whenever they get the chance.
They can't do anything with the Mystic Locks, so they start with the residents. Regardless of whether they are birds or animals, as long as they are alone, they will most likely be hunted by them.
Many people who originally tried to seek refuge with Misnoel were killed on the last journey.
This was done not only to prevent them from coming to Misnoel, but also to retaliate against Gavin.
If the Goliaths were organized to go out and fight back, they would immediately escape into the darkness and run away without any direct confrontation. Gavin was so angry that he was itching his teeth, and there was no good solution for him at the moment.
"The best way to deal with guerrilla tactics in the forest is to organize a stronger and more elite team and launch guerrilla tactics with them." Nora gave Gavin an idea.
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 hastily, they would only become nutrients for the forest.
As for setting fire to the forest, even the stupidest human lord cannot do it, or rather 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 will soon be upgraded and closed. She must negotiate with Lord Virginia immediately to see if she can 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 always guard the door for your lord." 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 body, which is also very 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, two consciousnesses can only protect one, 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 a precedent for enlightenment.
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 and fall into chaos.
And this is what Moando, the god of decay and corruption, likes to see 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 they are her continuation. 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 magical rituals, unless it is forced or forced, few dryads do this because she cannot let go of this feeling.
"You still have time to consider this issue. This is just the worst plan. 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 around the outside of the lock, and I will prescribe the right medicine based on your situation. Once I am completely sure that there are no remnants of Moando's beloved servants 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 had all been controlled by the Root of God or the pet servants of Moando. The uncertainty was too great and their strength was too powerful. They were rashly put into Myth Noel before they were completely purified.
Not a wise choice.
It's better to place it directly outside the Mystery Lock and use it as Mys Noel's first line of defense.
The outside of the Mystery Lock also has the ability to purify, but the effect is far inferior to that inside the city.
