Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2169 - 668: Preparing for Battle [Middle]
Aside from the Nau Platinum internally digested by over thirty thousand Wolf Cavalrymen, Liu Zhenshock has always been troubled by how to handle the remaining sixty thousand Arcane Beast mutation drugs.
From a rational perspective, of course he wishes for the mounts of Beamon Knights and the battle pets of the Altar Sacrificial Ceremony to be as powerful as possible! In the eyes of politicians, thousands of soldiers are just numbers on paper, whether Nau Platinum disfigures or shortens the lifespan of mounts and battle pets is certainly not within consideration. But aside from being a national leader, he is also the earthly messenger of a war god. From a sacrificial perspective, Nau Platinum is diametrically opposed to Shaman doctrine, an unequivocal demon bait! This heaven-defying drug that twists natural laws not only boosts the elemental power of magical beasts and beasts but also excessively drains and damages their life force—over the course of less than two months, over a thousand of the more than thirty thousand Wolf mounts that took Nau Platinum have died, even though these wolves successfully mutated into Salt Magic Wolves before their death. The cause of death wasn’t purely due to Nau Platinum. It can be said that the toxic side effects of the Arcane Beast mutation drug induced these wolves’ old injuries to recur. But the clinical experimental results are so vivid, how can any sacrificer not fear the mention of Nau Platinum.
Integrity prevents the fear of shadow, and old Liu himself is unwilling to have Guoguo and Yitiao take Nau Platinum, so what reason does he have to recommend this mutation drug for use by other sacrificers’ and knights’ pets?
If there were currently a Beamon Cavalry Regiment cornered by the enemy like the Wolf Cavalry was in the past, old Liu might still be able to sell off the remaining Nau Platinum, but there is no such opportunity now. Hence, being able to use these superfluous drugs as rewards on the edge of the blade makes old Liu completely satisfied—in fact, regardless of the abyss’ magical beasts or the Demon World’s Three Sea Clan, once they enter the Seia Ocean, as soon as the combat forces gather in sufficient numbers, they will inevitably strike at Seia and Ares for survival space. Liu Zhenshock is merely adding fuel to the fire.
It is foreseeable that the future oceanic forces around the Aegean Continent will be several times more terrifying than today, but as long as they stay honestly under the sea fighting for territory, old Liu couldn’t care less whether it’s a four-way competition or a Three Kingdoms standoff.
The biggest difference between Ventéclair’s comprehensive strategic plan and other plans of the Aegean Kingdom lies here. Liu Zhenshock never planned to rely on large corps for battle or exhaust strategic points in confrontation to determine victory or defeat. Driving tigers to swallow wolves, diverting disaster eastwards, and taking the firewood from under the cauldron are his true ace up his sleeve.
When others’ sights were still limited to this region of the Aegean Continent, Liu Zhenshock had already set his sights on the plans of several other dimensions, not because he has an extraordinary military talent, but merely because he’s traveled widely and has ample capital, making his mind and vision naturally broadened, no longer petty when analyzing problems.
Such events akin to the Nau Platinum, initially hoped for greatly yet ultimately failing to receive expected results, are not singular. Recently, the Tenth Prince Ventéclair, responding to the old head’s call, brought one hundred and twenty-three Ent Kin from his homeland on the fourth subterranean continent to Ventéclair, and also brought several dozen gallons of the long-hidden "Spring of Elements" and "Life Spring" from the depths—this made old Liu incredibly excited!
This excitement wasn’t merely from the "Spring of Elements’" magic replenishment effect or the "Life Spring"s capacity to greatly increase oiled gourd production, strengthen the defense system with Forest Elves’ best defensive plants, or densely plant "Jaina Magic Taro" in a thousand acres of bamboo forest; it was more about finding a glimmer of hope to triumphantly sweep through many armies from the "Life Spring."
Ventéclair houses a total of one hundred and forty-one Shepherd-tree People, the most powerful of whom is Ventéclair himself.
The Tenth Prince’s arrogance hinges on him not evolving from ordinary trees, but from a Magic Banyan Tree into a magical Shepherd-tree Person, innately possessing surging, powerful elemental power—The "Evergreen Domain" allows him to act as if he possesses magic immunity in forest areas!
Other Shepherd-tree People evolved from ordinary trees are not as formidable. Even Elder Cruyff relies more on his robust physique rather than magical skills to win public admiration.
Liu Zhenshock values this innate might of the Magic Ent!
Since acquiring several dozen gallons of "Life Spring," Liu Zhenshock has been secretly contemplating whether, with the "Life Spring" in hand, which has an outstanding ability to promote growth in trees, dropping just a single drop could nurture a bustling group of Magic Ent over ten years given enough time for cultivation.
Since the cold war began, old Liu started implementing his plan for Magic Ent, and after carefully verifying numerous regions’ magical plants, he set his first target as the "Snow Tower Pine"—this specific magical vegetation beneath Mount Tamerlarya rises to two hundred meters, the largest magical plant on the Aegean Continent.
Should the "Snow Tower Pine" successfully evolve into Shepherd-tree People, such an Ent’s height would definitely not fall below one hundred meters. Such towering and robust body combined with their inherent magic skills would be so formidable that not even flesh and blood could withstand them. Aegean probably wouldn’t even find a city wall capable of stalling them— the highest walls of Witherspoon and Sabak, cultivated by Beamon for over a thousand years, do not exceed forty meters!
