Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 178 Another Perspective - Trees and Plants (3k)

"Today's weather is really good."

Li Yan observed the sky with some white thick clouds floating in it, and the clear blue sky was dotted with white clouds.

The tops of trees in the distance were covered with white clothes, and the continuous water veins seemed to have entered the snow country at this time.

But the temperature where the trees lived did not change much. The huge water veins they leaned against blocked the cold current and surrounded this small plain, forming a unique stable microclimate, a microclimate that would be slightly cold in winter, but still suitable for plant growth.

Li Yan stood on the crown of the tree, and a high tower was woven in the crown of the ancient tree of wisdom, allowing him to observe the surrounding terrain with a better view.

The height of this tree hero unit, which has been promoted to the ancient tree of wisdom, has reached nearly four meters, but the taller the stature and the larger the volume, the less ideal its movement speed seems.

But the thick wood structure and the nutrient transport structure in the body also allow it to grow extremely large and tall. If Li Yan hadn't controlled it to stop growing, it could still take root in the earth and continue to grow to five meters.

Only then would it stretch out its roots at an extremely slow speed to move on the earth, and a speed of 2km/h would be considered as fast as the wind.

In autumn and winter, the green forests here begin to shed leaves, turning from dark green to slightly yellow. Without the cover of the canopy, the effect of observation from a high place is quite good. Without the cover of the wide canopy, they can observe quite far away.

I don't know when it started, but there were suddenly more jackals and wild boars with autonomous mobility near the territory. They always ran in groups to the gardens guarded by treemen to steal fruits and destroy trees that had not yet grown for timber.

Li Yan could not rely on treemen for reconnaissance, as they moved too slowly and it was a waste of time to go back and forth. If he was caught by jackals and wild boars, he would lose extremely valuable labor. The prosperous gardens built with branches of the world tree also require a large number of treemen to take care of them.

For this reason, he followed the previous plan to deal with players, laying a large number of long-term vine traps and passively defending to build a defense line.

Instead of using traps to kill these invaders, they only need to restrict their movements and slow them down. The tree lords that arrive here will use the purest power to teach these jackals and wild boars that they will pay the price of their lives if they break into other people's forests and destroy things.

Under the guidance of Ji Lin, Li Yan now turns to the route of cultivating auxiliary plants. He hesitated for a long time on the enhancement of individual combat power. Because other tree lords do not pay much attention to these auxiliary plants, most of them believe that cultivating the tree lords well can get amazing combat power.

Ji Lin, who knows everything, pointed out a path for Li Yan that is not so weak in the middle and late stages of the tree lords, and quoted posts from other tree lords to strengthen his persuasiveness.

Li Yan can see that Ji Lin provides him with information almost in a question-and-answer style, so naturally he wants to cultivate him into an excellent collaborator.

He was not treacherous, and the other party treated him sincerely. As a good young man with a positive outlook, he remembered all these favors.

Even though the nursery needed tree workers to take care of it now, he also maintained a group of tree workers nearby to mine iron ore and stone and maintain trade with the other party - if it weren't for the key information provided by the other party, Li Yan didn't know how many detours he would have to take.

Compared with the large amount of resources that these detours would consume, the labor spent on maintaining trade was nothing, not to mention that Ji Lin traded with him according to a benefit-benefit standard.

Li Yan had no reason to refuse.

At Ji Lin's suggestion, he suggested that if Li Yan did not have great military pressure, he could now try to tilt resources to cultivate various special auxiliary plants.

Otherwise, when Ji Lin mentioned it, Li Yan would never have noticed that tree workers could use their own racial talents to catalyze the emergence of special plants.

Therefore, the tree race has begun to cultivate offensive auxiliary plants. These plants can grow in a few days, and the plants that wither after a few weeks will be the main combat force of the tree race for a long time.

The tree race relies on its natural affinity for plants to cultivate various special plants, which can quickly create a formidable defense line.

Plants, casters.

Only elves and tree races, which have strong natural affinity for plants, can do this. Other species do not have this talent, so they need a lot of pre-technical preparations and then spend several times more time to cultivate.

Well, the most effective offensive plants now are the root vines evolved from the spike roots, which can be used as a trap for several months.

Unfortunately, the power is far less than the spike roots directly launched by the tree race, but it is not first-class in dealing with small animals.

Because of these root vines, Li Yan’s daily meat needs are now met without relying on the market. It would be best if the tree can catch some small animals to eat during the day, but it doesn't matter if it can't catch any. He doesn't want to use the tree's precious productivity to hunt for him.

Trees are not very good at hunting by nature. The sound of their movement can easily scare away the surrounding animals. They just stay rooted in the ground and wait for prey, but their efficiency is not satisfactory.

Li Yan, who graduated from the Department of Economics, did some calculations. If the tree goes to mine or plant, it can buy nearly three times the meat it hunts in the market.

Since then, he has never thought of letting the tree go hunting again.

A horn resounded through the forest, shaking off several yellow leaves.

Li Yan, wearing tree armor, looked at the dark mass of jackals, wild boars and mixed troops pressing towards him in the distance.

He smiled happily.

He didn't go to find these half-beast camps, but that didn't mean he didn't have the strength to kill them.

They really thought he was a soft persimmon that was easy to squeeze.

It was good that they came, so he didn't have to go out to find these half-beasts.

In order to survive this winter, these jackals and wild boars who had formed their own small tribes naturally set their sights on the place with the richest food reserves in this area, the homes of these trees.

Gathering food was too slow and too little.

Hunting was extremely unstable.

The fruits grown in several large gardens guarded by those trees made them salivate. They were sweet and delicious and also restored their energy very well. It was a pity that they only succeeded in a few sneak attacks, but these few sneak attacks also brought them enough food to feed the entire camp for a month.

They tasted the sweetness, but it was a pity that the group of trees stepped up their defenses later, and they never succeeded in sneak attacks again.

Now they have gathered all their forces here. With thousands of people, it is more than enough to capture a human town, and a forest guarded by trees is no problem.

Their shamans have learned some methods to deal with trees. At this time, they all brought kerosene, picked up torches, and specially built several catapults that can attack with fire.

As for the clumsy-looking big tree, they only need to burn other small trees to death, and then surround it and set fire to its blind spot to solve it - at least these priests among the jackals and wild boars think so.

Until the giant tree inserted its hand into the big body, a mass of black mud and gravel appeared in the giant tree's hand. That ammunition was several times larger than the catapult, and the mud was temporarily mixed by the power of magic.

Death arrived earlier than the sound.

Break, roll.

The loose stones rolled in the air, breaking with deadly force, and turned into a violent rain of stones, like two howitzers firing at the same target.

Destroy, tear apart.

Wipe out the living things near the catapult along with their siege equipment.

The rage from the ancient tree.

Death fell from the sky.

It was not only the jackal priests who blew the horn of attack.

As the ancient tree cast the first scattered stone, the tree that was promoted to the level of a big tree also penetrated into the big tree from the soil, forming irregular spherical projectiles and grasping them in their hands.

Like the ancient tree, it was projected towards the various jackals that attacked, turning into a deadly rain of bullets.

‘Spell: Shaping Stone Bullet + Spiky Roots’

‘It can quickly shape a piece of soil, allowing it to temporarily maintain a high hardness, and bury various types of spells for it to cast time-delay spells. Current type: Spiky Roots. ’

‘Believe me, you don’t want to be the target of this thing. ’

The tree’s early and mid-term strength is not only experienced in words.

There is no gorgeous spell, only the purest power.

Driving the body, using the flowing elemental spell power to make the stiff arm part flexible, they can use this to complete a fatal and accurate projection.

The flame catapult driven by the wild boar can only bite the bullet and launch the flame projectile at the target of the ancient tree of wisdom. Only that ancient tree can threaten them. Although the remaining big trees are powerful, the throwing distance cannot reach the location of their catapults.

Even if it disturbs this tree, it’s fine.

The vanguard troops struggled to withstand the deadly bullets thrown by the tree trees, crossed the difficult 300 meters, and finally reached the end of the route.

And what was waiting for them.

A Great Wall built with trees.

The conflict ended quickly.

The jackals and wild boars suffered heavy losses, and the trees also suffered considerable losses.

Li Yan did not let the small trees stand on the front line. The backbone of the front line was medium-sized trees, and the small trees threw stones to assist, so there were no casualties. But the three medium-sized trees were burned by kerosene because they were on the front line, and from the surface they were completely charred.

This was the first time Li Yan lost troops.

An inexplicable sadness surged up. He felt that he had lost a lot when he lost one of his soldiers. Now he had lost three...

"No, it's not dead yet."

The wise ancient tree saw Li Yan's sadness, lowered its body, and comforted its lord with a hoarse voice. Li Yan was not even sure whether it lowered its body. It stretched out its palm covered with thick tree armor. The palm was wide enough to cover the entire medium-sized tree.

Li Yan saw that the shell of the medium-sized tree that was obviously burned into carbon by the flame was peeled off layer by layer by the ancient tree, revealing the green tree core, as if there was a soft green light flowing in the tree core, and it was not completely dead yet.

This was the first time that Li Yan saw a tree throw away all its tree armor, leaving only the structure of the tree core.

The palm of the wise ancient tree extended its roots to penetrate the tree core, extracting everything that remained of it and reshaping its body for it.

As the tree core gradually turns white, a new green tree is forming in the palm of the old tree.

It regains its new look.

It just needs some time to return to its original form.
