Chapter 88 Rebellious
The brood can now also combine the old hive with the energy forest to turn it into a hive forest.
The hive forest not only retains all the functions of the original hive and energy forest, but also greatly enhances the ability to control the environment. It constantly releases a mist mixed with hormones, poisons, and hallucinogenics, turning the entire hive forest into a special territory that can be weakened and disturbed by any creature that intrudes. Brood units will be strengthened accordingly. This is already a concept similar to that of a domain, except that a domain requires a huge amount of energy, while a hive forest does not, and covers a much larger area. Its only drawback is that it can't move.
But as long as there is enough matter and energy, the hive forest can produce a steady stream of creatures below level 5, and there is no limit to the number at all. Level 5 creatures seem to be too weak to play a major role in the current war, and they're so weak that they don't have the value of teleporting between planes at all. However, Richard was keenly aware of the huge opportunity: the war horses of the Terran elite heavy cavalry were only level five. In other words, Richard can now have a large number of mounts, which can turn all fighters into units similar to those of the Iron Triangle Empire's Mobile Corps. This will be a leap forward in the capabilities of the auxiliary forces.
Finally, Richard flipped through the section on re-promotion. The requirements for the brood to be promoted to the eleventh rank have become simple again, it only needs divinity. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that it requires so much divinity, as much as a thousand units!
What a thousand units of divinity meant, Richard couldn't have known better. Figuratively speaking, the three goddesses before meeting Richard each had a thousand units of divinity. In other words, if you feed a true god with endangered divine power to the brood, it will almost be able to advance to the next level. Seeing this, Richard had become extremely strict, and it was only at this time that he truly realized the essence of the brood. It turns out that after the tenth order, the brood is really mature, and in the maturity period, what the brood needs to devour is the gods!
For the first time in his life, Richard found himself so clearly on the opposite side of the gods. However, he only paused for a moment, and continued to flip back.
As a by-product of the promotion to the tenth order, the defense, speed, attack power, and recovery ability of the brood body have all been greatly enhanced, and the mental impact power has reached the level of a great mage who specializes in spiritual magic. Before the promotion, the combat power of the brood body far surpassed that of the Norland Sanctuary, and after being promoted to the tenth rank, it was even closer to the legendary level. Even in the face of ordinary legendary powerhouses, the brood can hold on for a long time, and maybe it may even consume the opponent to death. The promotion of the brood this time can be said to be one of the hole cards that Richard dared to launch an all-out war.
Just as Richard was inspecting the brood data, in the rear of a convoy carrying supplies, Raymond suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled softly, and then rolled up the sleeve of his left arm. There was a faint red mark on his arm, like a wound left after it had been healed, but it would have been unnatural if an experienced physician had been present. Because at the moment, this scar is rising and falling regularly, as if it has a life of its own.
Raymond pressed the red mark lightly, and the rhythm of the pulsation there increased significantly, and then it swelled, like a red flesh worm wriggling on Raymond's arm. A moment later, the voice of the brood sounded in Raymond's consciousness: "You look for me." ”
"Yes. First of all, congratulations to you, since you have woken up from your slumber, it is time to be promoted to the tenth rank. ”
"Yes. ”
Raymond smiled and said, "What about his real name." ”
"There already is. ”
At this time, Raymond just laughed, and then said: "Being able to awaken his true name at the tenth order is rare even for the seeds of war and destruction. I think you don't need to be promoted to the eleventh rank to complete the soul. ”
The brood replied coldly, "This is not something you should know. ”
"Well, I won't ask. My life is still in your hands anyway, isn't it?" Raymond replied as if he didn't care.
The brood fell silent and said no more. The flesh worm on Raymond's arm burrowed into the flesh again, turning back into a faint red mark. It is a creature sent by the brood, and through guò it Raymond can communicate directly with the brood, and most importantly, its communication with guò is not known to Richard.
Raymond glanced out the window, his gaze returning to the magic map in front of him. Now Richard has handed over all the supplies of the expeditionary force's logistics and materials to him, and his responsibilities can be described as heavy. Richard's army was known for being extremely well-equipped and well-supplied. In the eyes of the commoners of Faro, serving as a soldier in the Crimson Duchy was simply enjoyable. Not only was Raymond responsible for the transportation of tens of thousands of tons of various supplies, but he also had an army of up to 50,000 men at his disposal to defend the logistics force.
With the rapid advance of Richard's front line, Raymond also left the Blue Water Oasis, and the logistics command center also moved.
Logistics is an extremely complex science, and it is unimaginably difficult to supply an expeditionary force of 300,000 people over a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. However, such a complex issue was handled in an orderly manner in Raymond's hands.
Less than an hour after talking to the brood, Raymond finished his supply plan for the following week. He looked out the window with some idleness, suddenly smiled, and whispered to himself: "O brood, your attitude towards me just now has shown that you have a complete soul. Hehe, what's going to happen next. I'm looking forward to the surprises......"
Raymond closed the window, took out a piece of magic paper for writing scrolls, and scribbled on it.
"In the vault of Fort Solomon, there is not much to say about war and the destruction of the miè seed. In fact, scholars throughout the ages have been very interested in this topic, but there are too few opportunities to study the seeds of war and destruction. Luckily, I came across such an opportunity. ”
"The vast majority of records indicate that the seed of war and destruction, or the brood, is a magical weapon of war. They usually have a master and will be completely loyal to this master, carrying out the master's qiē commands. When the brood evolves to a higher level, they will optimize the execution plan on their own in order to better fulfill the master's commands. It seems that this is the expression of the brood's high intelligence, and in fact it is true, but if you think about it deeply, all the intelligent cousins of the brood are for the same purpose, that is, to better fulfill the orders of their masters. In this sense, they are still tools, tools to be applied to warfare. It's just that they're much smarter than the vast majority of tools. But no matter how clever a tool is, it's still a tool. ”
However, several scholar mages suspect that the brood is not as simple as it seems. In fact, until now, research on broods has been very limited. There are so many secrets hidden in the brood that no one even knows where they come from and how they came about. ”
"It is interesting to remember the research notes of Master Kuyler, who was convinced that in the depths of the broken soul of the brood, there was another world that was not known. Perhaps I should take his assertion seriously, although the master failed to give any evidence, and there was not much logical reasoning. His assertions are like a fantasy after patting his head, but the process does not affect the correctness of the conclusions, because Kuyl is a master of prophetic magic, and many of his ideas come from intuition. ”
"Without a doubt, I was luckier than many of the great masters, because I not only saw the brood with my own eyes, but I was also able to have a soulful communion with it. It's a very subtle feeling, and through the many very subtle points of guò, it is possible to deduce some shocking facts. First of all, it is interesting to ask why the female nest is so large that it is insect-shaped. Some masters believe that this is because the insect form is more survivable, but perhaps it is more than that. Based on some unspeakable consideration, my plan to complete its soul is not the expected 'freedom', but 'rebelliousness'. It was a sudden change, but the reason for the change of mind was interesting, maybe I saw the brood as it really was, maybe it was because of Richard. I can't tell. However, the brood should not know that the soul replenishment plan also has the effect of shaping the character. ”
"Now, I'm looking forward to more surprises, even at the cost of my body and soul. ”
When Raymond put down the pen, a piece of magic paper was already densely written. He read what he had written twice, and then with a flick of his fingers, a transparent flame came out from the tip of his right index finger, and he put the magic paper up, lit it, and watched it burn to ashes, and the paper ash did not fall, but seemed to condense in the space around the transparent flame, and when the flame was extinguished, it disappeared without a trace.
After a few moments, everything that Raymond remembered in his mind would be forgotten. However, this is actually a secret method of Fort Solomon, and Raymond did not really forget what he wrote on the magic paper, but hid it in the deepest part of his memory, even the legendary masters of soul magic could not detect it. These things will only reappear in Raymond's mind when he needs to know them someday in the future.
The carriage was wide and comfortable, a Faro-made vehicle for magicians, and large enough to allow Raymond to stand up and pace in it. His face flushed slightly, and he obviously had an irrepressible excitement, and he couldn't help but walk back and forth dozens of times.
"Richard, I really want to see what kind of expression you have when you know the truth. Raymond muttered to himself, a smile on his face that could not be concealed. This is the terrible thing about the Solomon Fort Scholar Mage, they have too much knowledge, they have a deep understanding of the nature of the world, and they have many secret methods that have been passed down for thousands of years, so magic has become dispensable in some cases. Even if all their power is lost, as Raymond is now, as long as they are not dead, they can cause great damage.
