Chapter 474: Tree Man and Tree Spirit
In this case, in just one day's work, more than ten kilometers of deep forest was uprooted by the giants.
Giants are naturally tired, and they are also tired from orcs and minotaurs, and it is really a heavy physical labor to gather so many big trees together.
It is also worth mentioning that in this area that has been cut down, there are many, many trees left that have not been cut down.
One is that the magical plants marked by the flower fairies, no matter how big or small, have been well preserved.
The other is a tree that is too thick, and even giants do not have the strength to pull it out easily, and they are generally large trees that have grown for hundreds of years.
This kind of tree, in fact, is very precious at this age, and it is naturally a good material for summoning tree people, and there are not many of them anyway, so Emperor Shi Tian simply kept them.
While the army was logging, the shepherds did not sit idle, but entered the forest as soon as possible and began to simplify the treemen.
Since the flower fairy had already made the selection in advance, the shepherd's movement became particularly fast.
I saw him step in front of a big tree, wave the verdant tree shepherd's whip in his hand, gently slam it on the tree, and say, "Wake up, my child!"
As the shepherd's words fell, the originally dead tree began to tremble slightly, and then a human face gradually appeared on the trunk, and at the same time, its root system slowly contracted, and finally formed two small short legs.
In a short time, this one-meter-diameter tree has grown into a powerful treeman warrior, although the life level is still at the black iron level, but the combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of ordinary bronze warriors.
Because this guy's body is hard red pine, in this harsh place, it will take at least two hundred years to grow so thick.
After being turned into a Treant Warrior, this guy is not only strong, but also has rough skin and thick flesh, and can basically ignore the idle sword slashing on his body.
But the three giant hands formed by his three largest branches can kill a cow with a single slap.
In this case, his combat effectiveness is so strong that it is completely comparable to that of a warrior in the lower bronze position.
The premise is that you don't encounter fire, and once you are ignited by fire, it's over.
In short, this big guy made the shepherd feel very satisfied, although the other party did not have too high intelligence, and could only follow the lowest orders, and could not even be seen as an intelligent creature.
But after all, it has made great progress, as long as he is given enough time, it may be able to awaken its wisdom, from a brainless summoned creature treeman, to a tree spirit with its own independent wisdom.
After successfully summoning a tree warrior, the tree herdsman's mood immediately improved a lot, but when she turned her face, she found that there were many giants around her who were frantically pulling out trees, which made her mood worse in an instant.
But he had already agreed to the barrage, and the tree shepherd was embarrassed to regret it, so he could only sigh and step into the depths of the forest, looking for more powerful magic trees to ignite.
At the end of the first day, the shepherd returned from the forest again, followed by thousands of treants, a small half of whom were magical trees.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there are three treants among them.
You know, the Treant and the Treant are two completely different concepts.
The tree man is actually a big tree in human form, and it is essentially just a big tree, but it can be used as a humanoid warrior to fight, and it does not have too high intelligence.
But the dryads are different, they are real, intelligent beings, exactly like minotaurs, kobolds, and the like.
Therefore, for the tree herdsman, the tree spirit is equivalent to a compatriot, or even a relative, and the tree man is just an embryo that has not yet fully evolved.
In addition to the different concepts, the combat effectiveness of the Treant and the Treant is also completely different.
The Treant is basically a melee unit and doesn't have any spells.
However, the tree spirits are basically wood-based mages, and they are good at several wood-based spells, and the main body can still be as melee as the treemen, which can be regarded as a comprehensive action that can be far and near.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that the Treant has a particularly powerful place, that is, commanding the Treant to fight, of course, you can't command too much, hundreds of them are about the same, and they can only be regarded as middle-level commanders.
But it's also very powerful, after all, the Treant Warrior has limited intelligence, so when there is a command and when there is no command, those are definitely two completely different concepts.
In the past, the reason why the shepherd was able to command the army of 100,000 tree people was not because of his own strength, but because he had several days of fellow tree spirits at that time, and it was with the help of the power of these tree spirits that the tree herdsman could command the army of 100,000 like an arm.
If it weren't for the encounter with Princess Claire, who has a large number of firearms, the shepherds would basically be able to walk sideways in the dungeon with this legion, and 99% of the lords would not be able to defeat it.
It's a pity that the appearance of the tree spirit is a rare event, and when the tree herder ignites the tree man, there is only a 1 in 1,000 chance of summoning the tree spirit, otherwise, the tree herdsman must want all his subordinates to be tree spirits.
With such a big harvest, the mood of the tree herdsman also became extremely good, and after sending all the tree warriors back, he once again took the tree spirit into the spider jungle, and he didn't rest at all, wanting to fight continuously.
After the end of the first day, the situation in various places was summarized on the side of Emperor Shitian.
After taking a general look at it, Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile: "The spider jungle is indeed a cornucopia, there are so many treasures!
"And it's only explored, well, less than 1‰ of the place. Danmaku Ji smiled and said, "If this is all explored, God knows how many magic plants we will have to harvest." ”
"You're a little less calculating. Emperor Shi Tian smiled and said, "We are now on the periphery of the Spider Jungle, and the products inside must be more abundant." ”
"Indeed, there are definitely more good things in it, which means that we are definitely going to make a windfall this time. Barrage Ji immediately said excitedly.
"The windfall is certain, but this progress is too low, right?" Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said with a wry smile: "Today, millions of troops were dispatched in one go, but the result was not even 1‰ of progress, calculated that it will take us at least several years to complete the exploration of the spider jungle." But we don't have that long!"
"Then I'm out of luck!" "The barrage Ji smiled helplessly, "The orcs and minotaurs can prepare some, but their logging efficiency is far less than that of the giants." Do you want me to buy hundreds of thousands, or even millions of giants?"
"Don't, don't!" Emperor Shi Tian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I regret buying two or three hundred thousand giants, although it is indeed a top worker, but this is too edible, a giant can withstand the amount of food of dozens of minotaurs." Our food is not particularly abundant, and we really can't afford to raise it!"
"That's right, it's because people are worried that they won't have enough food, so they don't dare to recruit too many giants. Danmaku Ji said helplessly: "But if there are not enough giants, the efficiency of logging will be greatly reduced." With the Minotaurs they cut down trees with axes, which was too inefficient, and wasted a lot of roots. ”
"Hmm!" Emperor Shi Tian thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't want the giants, just use the mage!"
"Huh?" "The barrage Ji suddenly exclaimed, "Let the mage go to the wood, aren't you afraid that they will rebel?"
I have to say that in this place of the God Realm, the status of the mage is very high, even the lords must treat each other with courtesy, and they cannot be forced to do lowly things, otherwise it will cause a backlash and even the betrayal of the mages.
And once the mages are defeated, the reputation of the lord will be stinky, and there will be no mages working for him in the future, and he will be hostile to other mage lords.
In this case, Emperor Shakti could not force the mages to do such a thing as logging, which was simply a humiliation for them.
It is precisely because of this that the barrage Ji is so shocked.
However, Emperor Shi Tian said unhurriedly: "Ordinary mages, naturally there is no way to force them to cut wood, but my own personal soldiers should still be able to mobilize." ”
"You mean, let the earth monks cut down the wood?" Barrage Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "This is a good idea, the earth monks can use the soil control technique to make the earth automatically repel the big trees, and they don't need to pull it out at all." Moreover, it is a relatively simple spell that consumes less mana and has a quick effect. Perhaps, your earth-based monks are even more efficient at uprooting trees than giants!"
"That's almost certain. Emperor Shi Tian said confidently: "Each of them has an earth spirit bead, and the mana is extremely strong, and the trivial matter of going out to pull out a tree cannot be difficult for them at all." It's up to you to provide enough labor to help the Earth Monks with the transportation. ”
Hearing this, Barrage Ji gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, even if you don't have enough protective gear for the time being, you will slowly make up for it in the future." You can let the earth monks do the work first, and the trees won't be able to run away from the ground anyway, so just transport them slowly. ”
"Okay!" Emperor Shi immediately agreed, and then gave an order to the earth monks to go and cut wood.
The earth monks are all goblins, and they are not as arrogant as the Dharma Master because of their humble backgrounds.
They truly regard Emperor Shakti as their master and supreme god, so they will never disobey Emperor Shakti's orders.
With the order of Emperor Shakti, all the earth monks who had spare time were transferred to the spider jungle and began to carry out the logging work step by step.
I have to say that these earth monks really had two strokes, just casually waved their hands, and the earth immediately churned, and countless dirt rose from below, directly lifting up the big trees one by one, and then falling to the ground.
All the roots were exposed to the air, and the minotaurs who came from behind easily carried them away.
