These words brought a moment of silence to the bustling battlefield.
Aside from the players who were about to be torn apart by the half-tree warriors, almost everyone subconsciously looked at the player who had spoken, and after confirming his location, they followed his directions to find Ed, who was walking under the protection of Duma.
"Boss!"
" Son of God!"
"Lord!"
The various names eventually merged into a wave of excitement, and after a brief period of euphoria, the players' fighting spirit visibly increased significantly.
Duma marveled at such a person, while Ed looked around, intending to find out where that old geezer Antiya Lisi was.
He had witnessed [ Howling Pothos ]'s previous performance and knew that even if he had Antos possess him, he had only managed to weaken the opponent.
Recalling the performance of Motley and the other Grand Knights of the Tree Worship Church, Ed knew that once people of the Plant System reached the Middle Tier, their recovery ability was extremely strong. Therefore, if he could not locate Antiya Lisi and launch an attack in a short time, the opponent might return to that arrogant state.
Where is Antiya Lisi?
Ed saw the area in the distance that was isolated by vines, but there was no aura of a powerful person inside, so it seemed to be empty.
This is strange. Although the battle is still in a heated phase, the situation is clearly tilting towards the players, and the number of half-trees without resurrection ability will only decrease.
At this point, an idea popped into Ed's mind—
Could Antiya Lisi have gone to get reinforcements?
The previous investigation by [ Medieval Evangelion ] revealed that several Holy Crusaders Knight Order still exist in Fir City, awaiting orders.
Antiya Lisi's abilities are insufficient to transform everyone into half-tree warriors at once.
So, could it be that Antiya Lisi, seeing the unfavorable situation here, went to those knightly orders to carry out his conversion ritual?
The current situation is like a tough boss battle. Players can certainly heal themselves, but it would be a bit rude of the boss to heal.
No, we can't let that happen!
The battle here must end as soon as possible. The players have been fighting here for several hours, which is a bit too long even by real combat standards. Ed isn't worried about them getting tired, but the game content shouldn't be too homogenized.
With that thought in mind, a thick root system rapidly grew from outside Fir City into the city, even pushing aside the roots that Antiya Lisi had planted along the way.
Ed also sensed the presence of another root system beneath Fir City, but since the other side did not launch a direct attack, he ignored this force as well.
The root system quickly reached Ed's feet, where he pulled out a seed from somewhere and released it in front of him.
The spherical seed fell from Ed's hand, shedding its outermost seed coat halfway down and sprouting some delicate roots.
The moment it touched the ground, the roots beneath the ground pushed aside the stones and rubble above, and the two instantly merged into one.
The rapidly growing plants squeezed the surrounding, not-yet-completely -Shattered stone bricks, even producing a cracking sound.
Ed's roots Spread underground, encroaching on the living space that originally belonged to Antiya Lisi's roots.
But Ed didn't care about that; in fact, it was one of his goals all along.
If we can divert some of Antiya Lisi's attention in this way, it will definitely be a good thing for the battle.
As for Ed himself, his division of labor with Little Green was very clear, and this kind of battle that required multiple threads to be carried out at the same time was completely his comfort zone.
Ed's Root Network Spread underground throughout the western part of Fir City, growing wherever there were many corpses, causing the ground to creak from time to time, followed by a small area bulging slightly.
Soon, players noticed that a tree had appeared near the tunnel exit, close to the rear of the battlefield. The tree was already taller than a person, but it was still growing.
And the announcement edited by Ed on-site was also sent to every player by Little Green:
[The resurrection point in Fir City will open in one minute; the price for complete body reconstruction has been reduced to 10 silver coins per attempt.]
Upon seeing this incredibly concise notification, the players' expressions changed drastically:
"Huh? Resurrected instantly? This place has turned into a fountain?!" -- This is a normal attacking player.
"Huh? A 90% discount? Little White Hair has finally had a change of heart!" -- This is a player with a unique focus.
"Huh? I'm unemployed?" -- This is the mindset of a seasoned player.
The countdown below the announcement began to slowly drop from one minute, as players struggled to resist the attack of the half-tree creatures, not giving them a chance to block their mobile fountain.
This temporary Resurrection Tree took the opportunity to grow wildly, quickly reaching the height of three or four people, and the tree hole that players are familiar with, which can be used to generate bodies, appeared on its surface.
Ed threw two more seeds nearby. For a battlefield like this, the printing speed of a single Resurrection Tree might not be fast enough. If there were to be queues for resurrection in such a tense and exciting situation, the players' enthusiasm for the game would be dampened.
With new respawn points and discounted packages, players can fight without any worries.
Duma stood silently behind Ed, watching the scene unfold before her, feeling that the man before her possessed unfathomable power.
Duma, who had a long lifespan, actually had some research on the art of resurrection.
All methods of resurrection have obvious drawbacks. Some resurrection spells cause memory loss, while others drastically change a person's personality.
The essence of this operation is to call back the soul that has died and separated from the body with some kind of power. Having completely separated from the original body and witnessed the terror between life and death, any creature will be somewhat changed.
But Duma didn't know that the so-called soul leaving the body and then returning had already been transformed by Ed into a bird's-eye view of the battlefield after death. As for the original body, what was that?
What do you mean by drastic personality change or memory loss? Don't you even consider whether the players have time to think about these trivial matters?
As he watched the players pouring out of the three Resurrection Tree, a sense of exhilaration welled up inside Duma.
When facing Ed as an enemy, his methods were endless and impossible to guard against, which was utterly disgusting.
But when he was on Ed's side, these methods not only seemed much milder, but even made an old guy like him feel a sense of comfort.
As expected of the Tree God, he's incredibly resourceful!
