If anyone who has been to the Victoria Harbour area goes again, they will never recognize the once prosperous city.
The overlapping of planes has turned it into a special space that is rare in the world. It is part of the plane of death and part of the main plane, but at the same time it is not on both sides.
Judging from the personal arrival of Emperor Esso, the plane of death on the opposite side is the very famous plane of blasphemy. The entrance enters the main plane.
However, the goal of the undead has not been achieved. Originally, according to the will of the undead emperors, when this place is turned into a land of death, a large number of undead can be transferred from the plane of death to settle in, and gradually erode and expand into their own territory. At least, that The world rules of the plane of death will make this city a new capital of death. Countless dead will climb out of the tomb. The plane of death without sunrise is simply a paradise for the dead. The entrance enters the main plane.
Although in a short period of time, those newly born undead legions may not be able to leave this area, but when several undead emperors occupy this outpost area, the undead with absolute strength will no longer be afraid of any challenges, and the new undead natural disaster will not It is far away, and it is precisely because of this that the Holy Church will not hesitate to launch a holy war, but unfortunately, their plan has gone wrong.
At this time, Victoria Harbour and the surrounding port area were divided into two distinct areas. One half was the ghostly beast, which belonged to the dead, and the other was the dense green forest under the sun. The sky is soaring, the green shade that covers the sky symbolizes endless vitality, and the inexplicable sun is even more hated by the dead.
The forces of life and death collided with each other, the light green cloud released by the forest in the air and the gray-black death energy were fighting, the door of the plane of death that should have been opened was blocked, and this strange area began to fall off two. Under the control of the big plane, the vanguard of the undead kept coming from the plane of death, but this forest full of magic was also evolving and growing.
Near the entrance of the forest, two teams of people are fighting each other brutally. One of them is an army of undead, while the other is not just a group of magical plants that will not move, those "native residents" , more like the ethnic group of primitive tribes.
Just by looking at the appearance, you can guess the life that has never been seen in this absolute world. Most of them are human-shaped, with seemingly thin limbs but unexpectedly thick and powerful, and can lift heavy objects several times their own weight at will.
There are giants of different heights and sizes, ranging from less than half a meter to more than ten meters, but the common denominator is the emerald green leaves and hair, the bark-like nails on the skin, and the thorns and thorns wrapped around the body like clothes. Magic vine, there seems to be obvious plant characteristics on the body.
If they were farther away, their graceful figures, beautiful faces, and strong figures in the forest would make them somewhat similar to the forest elves, but if they got closer to see their performance in the war, No one would think of them as a slender and sensitive race of elves.
Their fighting style has no rules, just relying on the instinct of the body, every move is more reckless than the barbarian, but it is ashamedly powerful and rogue.
Yes, rogue, the undead have to worry about the fire of their own soul being extinguished. Even if their limbs are seriously damaged, they will not die, but their combat effectiveness can be considered abolished.
Most of them are still fighting in groups. The taller individuals standing at the front are extremely powerful in hand-to-hand combat. The vines behind them are as flexible as arms, and the joints are twisted at will during the battle. It also means that it is difficult to predict. A melee unit with no pain and infinite power is already difficult enough, and it has an undead attribute that is even more outrageous than the undead.
Head chopped off? After stepping back a little, it grew. Those tall tree giants even rose up, tore off their right arm, and threw them out to kill a piece of skeletons, and it wasn't over yet.
Under the light of the green light, those fragments were transformed into a new batch of small tree people and took a new wave of offensive, but what terrified the high-level undead the most was finally completely destroying one of these strange creatures. After the creature, a piece of green fire will suddenly escape from the incompleteness, and then burrow into a nearby tree in the sky. After a while, a brand-new tree warrior will burrow out of the tree and join the battle.
And this is not only a simple undead body, the new plant warriors are often stronger and better than the previous ones, and they can even learn the combat skills of the death knights and skeleton generals on the opposite side, and their combat power increases by at least 20%. It seems like nothing, but if the number of resurrections is accumulated in dozens or hundreds of times, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will even be a Juggernaut here.
Restricted by the elemental tides and the will of the plane, the real high-level undead powerhouses are still unable to enter this plane, and the low-level undead sea of undead's gatekeeping ability is compared by the opponent's more outrageous immortality.
And what those wooden creatures possess are not just sturdy warriors who are not afraid of life and death.
Those seemingly petite figures do not seem to have much power, but they are actually more difficult to deal with. They are either manipulating natural energy to cast all kinds of natural magic and innate abilities, or manipulating the magical plants in the forest to attack, and Like their clansmen who are good at hand-to-hand combat, they are also immortal.
The generals leading the army of the undead were almost desperate. At the beginning, these little green-haired things were as weak as goblins. They could only tremble in despair under the cover of the forest, blindly scurrying around to avoid the pursuit of the undead. In less than a week, these strange beings on the opposite side have continued to evolve to be able to fight head-to-head with the undead army.
Yes, these plant beings are independent individuals, they have feelings and thoughts, and even, under the cultivation of this forest, have evolved their own language, and in the near future, they will also be called "Wood Spirit". (named by Roland)” entered the stage of history.
"…We can never win this war without levelling this forest."
The conclusion reached by the death knight Kakaro is basically the same as that of his colleagues. If the forest is not leveled, these strange wood spirits will never be destroyed, but to safely enter the forest, you must first kill these obstructing wood spirits. Spirits and demonized plants seem to have entered an infinite loop.
"This is simply incomprehensible. It's like fighting with a plane will. She has the blessing of luck and the supplement of endless reserve combat power, but we fight less and less. Look! Our luck is also getting worse. "
The ancient durian tree that threw the exploding fruit in the distance threw the fruit into the sky at will, but did not have to worry about blowing up his own people. An undead knight and a wood spirit were indistinguishable from each other, but the flying debris turned the undead into a The hornet's nest was less than two meters apart, but Mu Ling's side was unscathed.
If this is artificial, this kind of blind shooting and scattering ability is enough to crush any elf marksman, and if this is just an accident, the chances of the survivors being unscathed should be to buy lottery tickets, but such lucky people keep appearing, and the unlucky ones It is always the undead, even if it is a fool, it can be seen that there should be a problem.
In terms of seniority, the corpse witch Anrod is far older than the big lich. As an old subordinate of Esso when he was still human, he has experienced countless wars, and also has experience in plane wars. The decision he made is still Very convincing.
Although he has been unable to advance due to physical reasons, it is only the top of the golden rank, but with the wisdom accumulated over the years and the deep trust of Emperor Esso, it is precisely because of this that when the war has reached a stalemate, he has returned to the blasphemous position. Esso sent him out to check the battle situation.
"Planar Will? How is it possible?"
The plane will of Ashe's world has fallen into a deep sleep for a long time, how can it be difficult for them to live here, and if it is the anger of Ashe plane will, I am afraid that the entrance to this space has long been closed.
Anrod did not answer, but just looked at the vibrant forest. In his imagination, an invisible arm had covered him, and the demon-like existence was laughing wildly in the shadows, laughing at the incompetence of the undead army.
"Damn! How is that possible!"
Andro finally found that something was wrong. The fire of the soul of the high-level undead who fell just now was not extinguished, but was surrounded by phosphorescence on the grass, and gradually transformed, from the ghostly pale white to a little green. In an instant, it was thrown into the tree, and from the raised piece, a new wood spirit was being conceived.
The fallen corpse of the undead was swallowed up by this forest and turned into nutrients for the forest, and the soul of the deceased entered the soul of the forest and turned into a newborn child of the wood spirit clan... to the most troublesome of its kind.
"You can't be wrong, it's taking souls, it's just a self-running cycle, a new plane will in this forest! Damn, we're in big trouble."
…
Addendum: Excerpted from a study by the great magician Victor in a teaching: Research on the origin of wood spirits (AD 1541).
… It’s hard to believe that when the holy war was still in full swing, that cursed plane subsided, and while taking millions of lives, it created a new race—the Wood Spirit Clan.
Perhaps, today's human beings have become accustomed to the hospitality and sincerity of those wooden beings, friendly, industrious, and peace-loving, and they have always been regarded as representatives of tolerance and goodwill, and few people hate this race full of goodwill.
However, few people know that from the moment of birth, this new race has to face the continuous wars of destiny, and has been evolving and growing in the wars. They are even regarded by the world for quite some time after their birth. As an emotionless war puppet.
The most incredible thing is that their creator is neither a god, nor an immortal existence of a different plane, nor an elves who regard themselves as a god of magic, she is just an ordinary human being. mage.
Yes, there is no doubt that Amyra Milan, just like you and me who are listening to my speech, is a mage who has stepped from ordinary human to legendary epic.
Although there are many doubts about how this lady achieved the miracle of the creator, but because time has passed, I am afraid it is impossible to verify it. What I provide here is probably the most likely one, and it is also the academic The most acceptable one.
First of all, what we want to mention is that in the records of the kingdom of mages, her character is a little bit crazy... a bit too radical, it can be confirmed that she has already transformed her body into a magical forest constructed by magical plants. And her soul has also turned into the will of this forest.
We have no way of investigating how this thousand-year-old archmage thought about it, but the soul connection between the creator and the creator is obvious. Judging from her lovely children, the crazy and neurotic characters of the "Virgin of the Forest" in the legendary novels The description, the lawless crime, is obviously only an artistic exaggeration and a slander of the wise.
Not to mention those legendary stories that are recognized by the world, we can easily speculate from the fact that she received the elite education of the royal family at a young age and became the alternate saint of the earth gods (this was back then), she must be A gentle and harmonious Madonna-type woman... I say this, definitely not because I have a wood spirit wife, nor because I am worried that if I don't say something nice to praise the wood spirit mother, I will probably sleep in a tree when I get home. , even my two mixed-race sons won't call me dad. (offstage laughter)
Ahem, let's get down to business, let's start with the tragedy that happened that night, oh, that's really a rare tragedy in the world, and it's no wonder that demigod-level undead are always regarded as taboo, they are really ruthless, thirty years of preparation , in just one second, the prosperous commercial city turned into a dead city without a living person in an instant.
When the "planet subsidence" happened, millions of lives turned from life to death, and the resentment of dying turned into a real curse, and the strange spatial structure that belonged to the main plane and the death plane at the same time made people even more Resentment and hatred have no way of venting, and they are surrounded by that closed dimension.
According to the expectations of the undead emperor, in the end, this area will all be reduced to a world of death, and those resentful spirits and curses will also be turned into undead spirits and become the cornerstone of a new land of death, but sometimes the calculation is too much, and It was a pure accident, perhaps the only one they didn't expect, that day, Amyra Milan happened to be in the Victoria Harbour area.
Although she is a demigod-level existence, under the rules of the plane, she still has no resistance. At that moment, she also experienced the transformation from life to death, and the archmage often leaves a lot of backhands. For example, after being killed, it will immediately be transformed into a small organ of the lich, and as mentioned before, Amyra has been transformed into a demonized forest, and her transformation from life to death is just to let it transform. Created an enchanted forest that has lost consciousness.
At that time, the plane of death bordering the main plane had no plants, and there were no undead plants in the rules. At that moment, she became a bug of the rules. She was not only a collection of plants for the living, but also a dead person who conformed to the rules. After a short while, she became the only living person on this small plane and the one who touched the realm of the gods, so inexplicably gained control of that new plane.
Yes, separate planes, not the intersection of two planes.
The result of Victoria Harbor being stuck between the death plane and the main plane is to form a relatively independent plane, and when the master will of this plane is selected, the process of the plane's subsidence is stopped. , the new plane instinctively seeks to carry the powerful will of the world, and the first will born in this plane becomes the only candidate, but this existence is still a soul with demigod-level power, and naturally becomes the most powerful. The best of the best.
For the information about the plane, and the textual research for us to make this inference, you can refer to "On the Relativity of Space and Time" by the contemporary Great Magister Heloise, and "The Eighteenth Plane Travel" by the Great Magister Roland Lan Rules (Twenty-eighth Revised Edition, this time is probably the final edition)", yes, the latter has a lot of academic works, but at least half of them are compilations of legendary stories and market novels, which are obviously fakes of later generations , the general revision sequence is more than 20 is the genuine product, everyone should be careful not to find the wrong one.
Well, it's normal. When this temporary world chose Archmage Amyra as the master of the plane, Amyra lost her consciousness. The forest in which she was incarnated began to evolve instinctively, and countless The resentful spirits also have a refuge to flee.
The will of the plane has the absolute right to execute the souls of the residents of the plane, and it is also one of the basic rules researched by the master Roland, and between yin and yang, it is the mother of the mother, the Virgin of the Forest, Amyra. lost those souls and began to look for new reincarnation opportunities for them.
The will of the plane can create the life of the plane, and only the creator can touch the real domain of the gods. It is the second of the basic rules of planes proposed by Master Roland. Therefore, between the yin and the yang, the Virgin of the Forest is based on humans and elves. As a template, referring to his common tree person structure, it began to evolve from the magic plant as a blueprint, and derived the first generation of wood spirits—primitive wood spirits.
The will of the plane is composed of order and chaos. The most basic force of order is space and time, and the most basic force of chaos is evolution, which is the third law summed up by the master. , it is not a big problem to reverse space and time, and it is not impossible to complete the evolution of other life for millions of years in a short moment.
The threat of the plane of death made the mother of the forest, who felt the crisis, instinctively speed up the evolution of the people, and after obtaining the blessings of time and evolution at the same time, the wood spirits, the darlings of the world, evolved at a high speed in that world. It has evolved its own history, culture, and inheritance, and the protracted and long war with the undead army has sharpened the survivability and will to survive of this new race, and it is now the wood spirit clan, which is good at fighting but kind and amiable. A family of contradictions…
As for why the wood spirits are used to calling Master Roland "my father"... Hey, is the get out of class over? Well, if you want to hear gossip, please listen to the next breakdown.
