Chapter 396 Spiritual Plants, Real War

Ryan looked at the seed in his hand, and he could actually feel that this seed contained some kind of powerful divinity, or spiritual power.

The moment Ryan held the thorn seed Nastlund, he already knew where to plant it. Its endless and inexhaustible vitality was enough to transform its edges and corners into thorns that could injure the enemy, even at the risk of exhaustion. It would become a strong line of defense in the Frozen Territory.

It comes from the god Fenrir and is a war machine conceived by him with his last bit of strength.

——Without limbs, you can’t attack? No, you can.

Llane brought Egil and the seeds to a place further north of the military fortress line.

“The great spirits have guided me, saying that you have the power to make it bloom.”

“Yes I have.”

When Ryan said this, he just felt a pang of heartache.

Of course he had a way, and he also understood why this thorn seed had a name.

Everything originates from spirituality.

To make the Nastlund thorn seed grow, spirituality is enough.

Just spirituality is enough.

Ryan looked at the cold spiritual balance on his spiritual panel, feeling a little confused.

Theoretically, Ryan could control the growth of the thorns because he was the giver of spirituality. The land under Ryan’s feet at this moment was at the midpoint between the military fortress defense line and the planned Northern Wall.

“Come on, Nastlund, show me your limits.”

Ryan threw the seeds into the soil, then touched the seeds with his fingertips, and spiritual energy flowed into them.

The next moment, there was a piercing sound and Ryan’s fingers were pierced. The sharp thorns forced Ryan to withdraw his hand and continued to retreat with Egil. Ryan stopped a hundred meters away and looked at the thorn bush in front of him in shock.

It is neither round nor square, and its growth is irregular. The more difficult the direction, the more unyieldingly it extends its roots. Cracks appeared in the stones without cracks, and dark green blood vessels appeared in the cold frozen soil and ice.

On the surface, the thorns grew taller and taller, exceeding one meter at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were still continuing.

Eventually, the thorn bush grew to about 1.5 meters tall, and because of the uneven ground, it exceeded 2 meters in some places. Overall, it looked like a thorn jungle that spanned 100 meters from east to west and 70 to 80 meters from north to south.

Because of the slight vibration of the ground, a wild rabbit rushed out from the dense forest and rushed towards the thorn bush. Ryan squinted his eyes with some pity. As expected, the next moment, the whole body of the wild rabbit was pierced by the thorns, and its wailing sound seemed to be asking for help.

Zi La La ~
In the flames, the rabbit meat roasted out all the oil in its body, and after the spices were sprinkled, Egil couldn’t help but twitch his nose.

Ryan handed over half of the rabbit meat, thinking about the possibility of spreading thorn bushes throughout the middle area of ​​the future Great Wall and fortress defense line.

One hundred spiritual powers can make the thorn bush grow so big, so even if ten thousand spiritual powers are spread out, it seems that it will not be enough.

There were too few spiritual powers, but this layer of plant defense was still indispensable. After eating the rabbit meat, Ryan continued to bless it. After blessing a thousand spiritual powers, Ryan found that the thorn bush had changed.

To Ryan, it no longer felt like a dead object, but more like a living thing, which was incredible.

The reason why he had such a feeling was because Ryan felt that a faint spirituality was returning to him.

The number is small, but Ryan understood the meaning of this thorn jungle. It also has metabolism and will die, but after death, new thorns will grow to maintain the previous scale.

All in all, in short, this thorny jungle can reproduce itself.

Thus, it brings him spiritual income.

At this moment, Ryan was a little excited, because for the first time, he received spiritual replenishment from a life other than his life of loyalty.

“It is my unique creation.”

When Ryan thought so, his heart stopped for a moment. Then he stopped thinking about it and injected a full five thousand spiritual powers into it.

There can’t be any more, you have to keep some spirituality for emergencies.

At the construction site of the fortress defense line, some people with sharp eyes discovered some special plants appearing in their field of vision, and not far away from them.

“Thorns, are there thorns in this forest? And they’re so big.”

Soon, a knight ordered a halt to any discussion and told them that this was an extraordinary line of defense set up by the Baron to fight against the orcs.

As the saying goes, the more forbidden, the more curious people are. The people of the Frozen Territory soon spread the word that Baron Ryan had once again been favored by the gods, and the great gods were helping him fight against the invasion of orcs from the north.

Roar–

!!!

With a roar that resounded throughout the vast northern world, the giant beast devoured the mountain and then scattered countless rocks to the earth. Countless orcs looked at the doomsday scene in the sky in shock. The orcs who were lucky enough not to be crushed to death began to march towards the south. They were about to attack human land.

“Weak humans are not worthy of occupying land full of food, kill them, kill them!!!”

The king of the Behemoth Court stood on the back of the giant beast and roared, and countless orcs rushed towards the south.

Twilight Province. According to legend, the brightest twilight moonlight can be seen above a lake in this province. One day every year, the sky above the lake is like a mirror, the moonlight shines down, and the earth is as bright as day.

Many people wanted to come here but didn’t, because this is one of the six provinces of the Flor Empire close to the north, and the long-term war with orcs has made the people here particularly tough.

Twilight Fortress is a fortress built in the mountains. To be more precise, the surrounding mountains are part of it. The only canyon passage is covered by the fortress’s high walls, preventing any invasion from the North.

It had not been breached by orcs for hundreds of years, and today, it welcomed the influx of orcs on a scale never seen in the past hundred years. Most importantly, it was the Behemoth, a giant beast that was taller than a mountain.

“Humanity!”

King Behemoth roared, and the Behemoth under him threw a stone as big as a mountain towards Twilight Fortress. The light of magic flickered in the void. The next moment, the stone shattered and fell into the valley, piling up with countless bones.

There are three commanders in Twilight Province: a member of the royal family, the Marquis of Twilight, and a great noble whose territory is in Twilight Province. However, both of them are mascots. The real commander is Harald the Lionheart, who was sent by the Emperor himself.

Harald Columbus, yes, this one is also of royal blood.

However, some nobles said that he was not of true royal blood, and might have been living abroad, or he might have been a descendant of someone who was once given the surname Columbus.

He was once the Grand Master of the Knights Templar and later became the Commander-in-Chief of Twilight Fortress.

The Lionheart King appeared in the sky. Under his golden armor, he stared at the Behemoth with a stern gaze. The next moment, he swung out with his golden sword.

The two terrible forces collided with each other, and finally Harald flew back, staring at the motionless Behemoth.

“Weak humans should become slaves of orcs!”

“kill!!!”

King Behemoth roared and swung the weapon in his hand. It was a weapon that was obviously beyond the control of human hands. It looked strangely like a trident, a spear, a sword, and a scepter.

But its power is simple: bloodthirstiness.

Under the power of the Behemoth Scepter, all the orcs showed their bloodthirsty eyes, became fearless, and rushed towards the Twilight Fortress madly. A tall orc monster lay on the wall, and behind it, white bones grew out, weaving into a ladder that stretched to the top of the fortress. The power of magic could not stop such primitive climbing. Dense orcs appeared in the mountains and plains to the north of the Twilight Fortress.

In the sky, the Raven Orcs were flying towards the fortress. They were very fast and they could fly, but at the same time, their feathers were very sharp. These forces led to the Raven Orcs becoming one of the six royal courts, and like Behemoth, they had never fallen.

On the same day, in the north of the empire, five other provinces were also invaded by orcs.

The Blazing Snow Province, the Morelos Province, the Hot Springs Province, the Purple Mountain Province, and the North Wind Province.

The six orc royal courts led millions of orc troops to attack the human empire. The six provinces all encountered attacks by massive orcs.

In addition to the Empire, the Serra Kingdom and the Andara Kingdom in the east were also affected. The Rhinoceros Orcs led a large number of orc armies southward. In an instant, the north of the two kingdoms fell into unprecedented war turmoil.

Further east, some noble lords did the same. They asked for help from the lands to the south, from the empire and the church. At this time, the nobles did not care about the struggle between royal power and divine power. They just wanted to survive.

Even on the east coast of the Norris continent, in the ocean that was said to be surrounded by ghost fog, there were traces of orcs. They might have taken the wrong path and crawled into an uninhabited world. I wonder if this can be regarded as reducing the orcs’ insignificant weight in the war.

In the North Wind Province, the nobles no longer cared about what to eat at the banquet. They looked at the battle reports from the north in shock. Countless orcs appeared in the Xiangshan Plain Fortress. A large number of orcs groped their way into the North Wind Province from the mountains and forests without knowing it. When they saw the human land, they rushed over to plunder and kill.

The fortress is not the Great Wall, and it cannot block the long northern border of the empire. Orcs may cross the fortress and enter the human territory due to various accidents and luck. This is normal and has happened every time before, but –

A large-scale invasion will result in a large number of orcs becoming such lucky ones.

However, facing these lucky orcs, the nobles could only mind their own business, because they dared not even think about the cost of losing the Xiangshan Plain Fortress.

As for the letters that Viscount Landa sent to the nobles, they were naturally filled with notes requesting reinforcements and assistance.

Everyone could feel Viscount Landa’s fear and anger from those words.

For the first time, the nobles of the Beifeng Province reached a consensus at the fastest speed. They continuously dispatched slaves and civilians to form soldiers to the Xiangshan Plain fortress.

“If the fortress is breached again, these millions of orcs will occupy every piece of noble territory in the Northern Wind Province.”

“And it is obvious that the Empire will not provide any support at that time. His Majesty the Emperor will only let the Winged Canyon defend to the death and not let any orcs enter the southern land.”

“We nobles will also lose everything, and we may even be killed by orcs before we can even become wandering nobles.”

“If you want to wander, then you can pack up now. It will be too late if you wait.”

“And if you want to protect the glory of your ancestors and hold on to your wealth and land under the witness of the great light, the only choice is to win.”

Ryan said this during a tense meeting in Thundercloud County. A noble wanted to invite Ryan to be the commander of the North Wind Province, but Ryan refused.

“To the north of the Tundra Territory, werewolves and a large number of other orcs appeared. There are… three clans.”

Apart from the Silver Wolf Hati Clan, there are only four powerful werewolf clans, and three of them appeared in the Frozen Territory?
At this moment, the nobles could no longer hold on. They were still unable to ask Ryan to give up the Frozen Territory. There had never been such words in history because there was a 99% chance that the two families would become mortal enemies.

Ryan rushed back to the Frozen Territory without stopping. The situation in the territory was already extremely tense. Under the order of Rhinohorn Mountain, thousands of people went to Winter City. If the fortress defense line failed, Winter City would become the final battlefield.

The orcs must never attack Rhino Horn Mountain. Although that “big bowl” has many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, facing the agile werewolves, it will be like a sieve that allows the werewolves to surround Rhino Horn Mountain from all directions.

As for the fortress defense line, actually, most of the fortress has not been completed yet. Ryan had the idea of ​​a 20-kilometer-long fortress defense line, but in such a short time, not even 50% of it has been completed.

Even those that were completed could be considered semi-finished products, but it was too late now, as tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were sent into the fortress to resist the attack of two or three hundred thousand orcs led by two clans of werewolves.

He said there were three clans because the Garg clan had been destroyed by him, and the two werewolf clans that now appeared in the Tundra Territory were Earl and Draco.

The werewolves of Earl have snow-white hair and are the fastest among werewolves. The werewolves of the Draco clan have gray-brown hair and the thickest hair and skin among werewolves, able to fight against the fangs and claws of the monsters in the North.

The relationship between the werewolf clans is not very good, but this is within the werewolf clan. When Ryan had the idea of ​​sowing discord, no one thought there was even a chance to suggest such a possibility.

Because they are orcs, werewolves, a cruel werewolf clan.

So, they can only face it, and either die or win.

“I can’t think of any possibility of winning. Time. If the gods can give you ten years, the Frozen Territory will not fear any enemy.”

Archmage McKen was trembling a little. In his past life, he had not directly experienced many wars. Now, looking at the densely packed orcs in the North, he felt a little fear and despair.

“What humans are best at is finding the invisible light of hope in despair.”

Ryan patted Master McKen on the back. The research magician could no longer hide in another world to study war horses at this moment.

“Legend, I feel the breath of legend, two.”

Rose came to Ryan with a serious expression. No matter what ethnic group the legend was from, as long as it was a legend, the title could represent their strength.

No matter how talented Rose is, no matter how capable he is of becoming a sanctuary through different transcendental paths, he is not a legend, and he is not qualified to resist legends, let alone two of them.

Ryan was also shocked by the news. He thought that the two clans, like the Garg clan, only had a sanctuary leader, but now…

Legend, how did the Borean Province fight against the legend? At the beginning, Earl Winter paid a huge price to invite the frost dragon Areris to come out.

How should the frozen land territory fight against the legend?

Ryan thought about everything he had. How could he invite a powerful legend to help his frozen land territory fight against two legendary werewolves for a long time?

The divine bone potion appeared in Ryan’s hand.

This was the only way he could think of to lure the legendary treasure.

In addition to this, there is the [Divinity: Giant Mammoth] on the spirituality panel, but the legend cannot see this thing and will not believe it.

So, this is the only one.

So, who to invite.

Frost dragon Areris? Or Farel, the commander of the Flying Wing Canyon? King McReynolds of the Sera Kingdom? Stuart the Shepherd of Light? Or Earl Clayton of the Clayton family in the south, or the fire dragon that just became a legend? My eldest brother Aatrox?
Besides this, what other legends did Ryan know? None.

The first person to be ruled out is King Sera. He is a king who even the God Slayer had to come secretly, and it is even more impossible for him to help Ryan fight against the two werewolf legends.

Earl Clayton was excluded second. Although he was his father, Ryan felt that not only himself but also any of his descendants would not help if they encountered such a problem. The divine bone potion was originally given to Ryan by Earl Clayton, and he did not value this thing that much.

Big brother Aatrox? This is hilarious. The emperor doesn’t even dare to let him walk openly on the land of the empire.

It is also impossible for Legion Commander Farrell. He is a legend, but he is still a legion commander and the commander of the Winged Canyon. Without the emperor’s order, he cannot move.

Fire dragon, frost dragon, light shepherd…

The Fire Dragon was his father’s mount, so he probably wouldn’t come either. The Light Shepherd killed many of Ryan’s soldiers, so he definitely didn’t want to give the Godbone Potion to him unless it was absolutely necessary. He didn’t expect that the Frost Dragon would stand out among so many legends…

In the face of desperation, the legend that he could invite was not a human being?
Ryan took a deep breath and planned to send someone to invite them, but the next moment he thought of someone.

Among the legends I know, there is another person.

A legendary guard of the deceased previous Marquis of the North Wind, a knight who was not recorded before and therefore did not even have a title, but was a true legendary knight.
