The twisted nightmare army that Sean had observed outside Lunn City before was not in the tens of thousands, but in the millions. There was more than one shadow mastermind commanding them. It was an out-and-out coalition.
For such a big move, the Shadow Mistress will definitely be involved.
No one can be sure that Goddess Abigail’s previous trap has caught all the Shadow Matrons peeking into Abigail’s plane.
Sean cannot be too cautious in this area.
"Sir, please assign tasks to us." Milu, the senior life priest who was in charge of leading the team this time, recovered a little and took the initiative to ask Sean for orders.
"Don't rush for this moment. It won't be too late to wait until you recover a little before getting back to work." Seeing their slightly weak appearance, Sean couldn't bear it.
"We are not that weak yet." The senior life priest responded with a smile, "We just haven't left the mother tree for a long time, and we are a little uncomfortable with the sudden departure. Now that we have returned to the mother tree, it won't take long.
Nature has recovered."
Sean took a closer look and found that those life sacrifices were indeed shrouded in a faint emerald light. This light did not come from themselves, but from the World Tree under their feet.
It is not without reason that the Life Sacrifice is also called the Son of the Mother Tree.
Their connection with the World Tree is far greater than that of ordinary Abigails.
When they became life sacrifices, part of their energy and spirit was tied to the World Tree.
This makes it easier for them to mobilize and control the World Tree.
But similarly, after the World Tree becomes sick or dies, the impact on them will be far greater than that of ordinary people.
They are naturally the most concerned and enthusiastic about curing the World Tree, and even regard it as their sacred mission.
They also understand the nature of the dream world and its purifying effect on the World Tree better than ordinary Emerald City citizens. They can feel the cheers and excitement of the World Tree for a long time.
"Okay." Sean hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "As usual, I have already chosen the address. You just need to carry out the construction according to the last drawing. But before that, these ant soldiers and
You must take flying ant mounts with you, especially flying ant mounts, and you must ride them skillfully. This place is different from the Emerald City, where twisted nightmares may invade at any time."
Along with the transmission of Sean's thoughts, the wings trembled and the sound of uniform friction was heard in the air.
A group of more than a hundred Abigail flying ants and soldier ants appeared in front of them.
When Sean went to the Emerald City to find help, the ant queen was not idle at first. She had been trying her best to absorb and accumulate energy and hatch ant soldiers.
"This is the ant soldier that the special envoy is talking about?"
"This unique creature is just like the golden crane that the special envoy conquered. It has never been seen before. It is definitely a killing machine with perfect shape."
"If they form a legion, they will definitely not be able to be resisted by ordinary people!"
"I feel the strong breath of the mother tree on them, which is the smell of the power of life. The messenger is right. They are indeed born according to the will of the mother tree to help us fight against nightmares."
Meeting the Abigail Ant Tribe for the first time, these life priests from the Emerald City, were not as shocked as Sean expected. Instead, they were all full of intense interest.
It's like a scientific researcher seeing a treasure that he has never seen before.
Milu, the senior priest of life, stepped forward, banging on the carapace and weapons of the ant soldiers, muttering something as if he was assessing their combat effectiveness.
At the end, he turned over and jumped onto the back of a flying ant mount.
The flying ant mount did not put up any resistance. Instead, wisps of light of life appeared on its body, and it felt like it was integrated with the Milu Life Sacrifice.
Under Milu's control, the flying ant mount rose and fell, its flexibility beyond imagination.
This time, Sean was stunned.
How did the other party do it?
Although this flying ant mount was tailor-made for the Abigails, it was the first time it met Milu. How could it achieve such skillful operation as if it had been ridden for many years?
Even the fact that Milu is a hidden genius doesn't make sense.
Milu, the person involved, also looked shocked and surprised.
It's just that the content of surprise is completely different from Sean's, "Its power comes from the same source as our life force. I can directly connect to its consciousness and control it. It's incredible. Thank you to the mother tree for the gift, and to the messenger."
A gift from your lord."
"Conscious connection? Real or fake?"
Milu's exclamation greatly stimulated other life sacrifices.
One by one, regardless of being reserved, they rushed towards the flying ant mount closest to them.
When they reached out to touch the flying ant mounts, a similar scene appeared.
Emerald light emerged from these life sacrifices and the flying ant mounts at the same time, and the two actually blended together.
Those flying ant mounts suddenly became part of the bodies of these life sacrifices, allowing them to ride on their bodies and fly up and down flexibly. Their proficiency was not much worse than that of Milu's life sacrifices.
Other than coming from the same source, Sean really couldn't find a better reason to explain the scene before him.
These life sacrifices are like big boys who have found a new toy, flying around and experimenting with it.
They never thought that one day they would be able to fly freely in the sky.
"Sorry, sir, we got a little out of control." Milu, the senior life priest, was the first to control himself from this excitement and took the initiative to apologize to Sean.
"It doesn't matter. When I flew freely in the air for the first time, I was no better than them. They have been depressed for too long. It is not a bad thing to relax properly. Wait a minute, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment and introduce the guards.
After you get to know the four guardians here and the Queen Ant, I will have to travel back and forth between here and the Emerald City to transport more manpower. You will have to worry about the construction here." Sean simply said.
I briefly introduced the next itinerary.
"Your Excellency, you are too polite." Milu said a little embarrassed, "I have a question, I don't know whether I should ask it or not."
"Just ask."
"Your Majesty has also seen what happened just now. We, the Life Sacrifice, have a natural connection with these flying ant mounts. We can skillfully control them without training. Why do you need to transport them over and over again? Just bring enough with you.
Wouldn't it be easier to return as many flying ant mounts to the Emerald City and let the remaining people fly over on flying ant mounts?"
"The method is a good one, but it's a pity that it can't be used now. I just obtained this queen ant not long ago, and the flying ant mount here is all it hatched during this period. This trick may be useful in the future.
” Sean explained.
"That's it." Senior Life Priest Milu nodded, indicating that he understood, and said loudly to the other life priests who were overwhelmed with excitement, "That's about it. You are not children. Don't let adults see the joke.
Let us get to work. Only by working hard can we live up to the expectations of the Mother Tree and the Messenger."
"Obey." All the life-sacrificial priests responded loudly.
Under the leadership of Milu, the life priests happily invested in the mage tower building the initial lair. With the surge of life force, a mage tower was growing upwards little by little.
During the subsequent construction, these life priests discovered that these ant soldiers were much more than just following their own guards and mounts.
They come from the same source as themselves, and the power of life also flows in their bodies. These life powers can be extracted and borrowed.
The last time they built the Emerald City Mage Tower, what limited their construction speed was their own life force, which could not keep up with consumption.
Every half hour of construction, they had to rest for two hours to recover the consumed life force.
Now that they have ant soldiers as their backing, they can't work around the clock.
But it will extend your working hours and shorten your rest time.
Now, for every hour of construction, one and a half hours of rest is enough.
In this way, efficiency is greatly improved.
In addition, they can complete some relatively simple tasks by directly controlling the ant soldiers.
In terms of controlling the power of life, these ant soldiers are no match for the life sacrifice.
But the strength and speed displayed by those ant soldiers were beyond the reach of the Life Sacrifice.
The two sides complement each other perfectly, further improving work efficiency.
Sean spent the next two days on his way to and from the Emerald City and the original lair.
After that, he made six more airlifts one after another, transporting a total of 700 life sacrifices, which was more than double what Sean originally asked for.
The Emerald City's support for him is quite impressive.
In addition, what Sean had not expected before was the compatibility between the life sacrifice and the ant tribe.
The life sacrifice required to build the original lair mage tower was only half the amount required to build the Emerald City.
But the speed was not much different. It only took an extra day and night to finish the work.
With the initial activation of the lair mage tower, the entire ruins of the city involuntarily entered into an abnormal tremor, and there was a feeling that it was about to collapse at any time.
After all, the original lair was different from the intact Emerald City.
The reason why the initial nest size was much smaller than that of Emerald City.
On the one hand, the city's predecessor was smaller than the Emerald City.
On the other hand, when the city's protective shield was breached by the Twisted Nightmare, the World Tree's support and protection were seriously damaged, and part of it collapsed, leaving only the main body sitting on the main pole.
Come down.
Sean is now trying to use the Mage Tower to activate the power of the World Tree and restart the city's protective shield.
If it were to be rebuilt on the current basis, it would naturally cause quite a stir.
As Sean kept activating the mage tower, the power that had become stiff due to the incorporation of a large amount of shadow energy in the World Tree was becoming active and flowing bit by bit.
A layer of emerald green light loomed over the original nest.
The roar of the Mage Tower is getting louder and louder, and countless lights of life are pouring from Abigail's World Tree, continuously pouring into the Mage Tower.
Rather than injecting it into the mage tower, it would be more appropriate to inject it into the body of the original queen.
The mage tower on the surface of the original lair was the same as the one in Emerald City.
But there is a big difference below the mage tower.
There is another layer below the original lair mage tower - the earth palace that goes more than twenty meters underground.
Lying inside is the first queen ant that migrated here.
Sean plans to use the first ant queen as the core center of this mage tower.
I believe that with the unique connection between the two parties, if the soul of the original queen ant is amplified thousands of times, she can even achieve the purpose of remote control.
Now the situation is a little beyond Sean's expectation.
When the first queen passes through the mage tower and joins the first queen.
It caused a violent reaction from Abigail World Tree.
Eighty percent of it is due to the nature of power.
During the initial transformation of the Queen Ant, Sean also injected a large amount of light of life into its body through the Staff of Life. The Staff of Life was an artifact given by the goddess Abigail herself. Of course, it has countless connections.
wisps of contact.
To put it in more popular terms, the queen ant is initially contaminated with divinity and has a natural attraction to the light of life.
Normally, the injection of a large amount of light of life is definitely a good thing for the initial queen.
After being washed by the light of life, its whole body became more emerald green, like a large natural gemstone, and even its appearance was invisibly improved.
The body size is also further expanding, the operation speed of various organs has been increased by several levels, and the speed of breeding and hatching ant soldiers has been greatly increased.
But now there is too much light of life coming at once, and it has turned into a bad thing.
The current first queen ant, just like Sean who entered the mage tower for the first time, has excessive nutrition. The rapid accumulation of a large amount of light of life makes the first queen like a balloon, constantly inflating and inflating, giving people
A feeling that maybe it will explode in the next second.
Abigail's World Tree and the original ant queen are not on the same scale at all.
Just stir it up a little and you can explode it alive.
Now I have to find an outlet.
The energy reactor of the mage tower is fully turned on, extracting as much light of life as possible from the body of the original queen ant and storing it in the energy reaction chamber.
A large amount of light of life gathered here, and there were signs of atomization and crystallization, but the light of life extracted from the body of the original queen ant was less than one percent of the light that was gathered into her body.
Part of it is emitted from the mage tower, stimulating the surrounding city shields that are being renovated and allowing them to take shape earlier. This only consumes less than one-tenth.
Cell culture.
Sean applied the method he had developed in the mage tower to the first queen ant.
This project is definitely a power hog.
The light of life comes from the same source as the original queen ant, and has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
