From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 127 Progressive Totem Technology and Returning Far Travelers

The travelers drove the animals and took the captives to retreat first, preparing to retreat to the gorge and jungle behind the valley.

Originally, they planned to leave some members behind and go further north to learn more about the situation of this new civilization;

But in the face of unknown risks, the two squadron leaders decided to be more conservative after discussion.

Under the current situation, the highest priority task is to bring the prisoners back while trying not to expose our own traces as much as possible.

Therefore, they decided to let it go as soon as it was good and not add any more extraneous problems;

Even in order to prevent the traces left by the large group of animals from being exposed, on the way back to the valley, they asked the travelers to each pick up two or three animals weighing about 300 kilograms, and then drove the four captives forward.

.

When a few days passed and the travelers had retreated back into the deep forest, the people who had migrated here discovered that the herdsmen who had gone out to graze were missing.

The upright person, which is about 2.4 meters long, has no horns on its head, and looks relatively slender from the front. After waiting left and right, unable to wait for the return of family members, it went to the parents of the family to express its concerns.

The news was passed up one level at a time, and soon reached the chief's ears.

When the tall chief heard the news, he immediately organized his forces to go to the pastoral area to investigate. As a result, he only found some sporadic traces and could not find any traces of the trolls that had been covered up.

Therefore, the chief had no choice but to order that "several families must work together when grazing" and determined to speed up the construction of the walled city in order to ensure the safety of the ethnic group.

~~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, nearly two years have passed since the launch of the ‘Troll Cell Exploration Project’ in the Teeth Department.

But this has not discouraged the witch doctors. Since this road is unworkable, wouldn't it be enough to change the idea and take the "all-round warrior" route and increase the attributes such as agility, defense, and accuracy?

Further understanding of the troll's body structure has also promoted the advancement of magic totemization technology. From the original, each troll could only depict one totem, to now it can accommodate three totems at the same time.

In this regard, Blade Ya had an association. He believed that the problem still lies in the energy supply.

During this period, the research work achieved remarkable results;

To solve this problem, there are only two methods: 'open source' and 'restriction'.

Under such negative impacts, this combination of superimposing unilateral effects has proven to be unable to fully utilize the advantages of totems.

In terms of 'energy', everything fell into place, and only Blade Ya himself achieved a leap;

With the help of ice crystal microscopes and ultrasonic detection technology, the study of Warcraft no longer had to be as troublesome as the original study of wolves, and the project quickly achieved a breakthrough.

In fact, their subsequent research also leaned in this direction.

Because of the advancement of this technology, the witch doctors of the "Witch and War Integrated Committee" have begun to study the problem of totem matching, striving to allow warriors and travelers to have richer tactical applications.

Although in the new system, witch doctors have the concept of ‘magic’;

But to put it bluntly, it is a more manipulative form of physical strength, and it does not allow witch doctors to obtain an additional exclusive "mana pool" like in the game;

Not to mention the mysterious effect of 'absorbing external spiritual energy', which does not exist at all.

As for the warriors, they need to continue their training in attack and defense. In addition to the original "Giant Power", they can also continue the process of totemization of spells such as "brute force" and "hardness".

Finally, when the two totems are turned on at the same time, the duration of their spell effects also shows a significant decline.

Originally, the effect of the Totem of Giant Strength lasted for five minutes, and that of the Totem of Brutal Strength lasted for seven minutes;

But when the two phases are superimposed, its action time drops directly to three minutes.

Except for individual projects such as the brain and spinal cord, most project teams have completed what they planned in advance.

As for the issue of 'controllability', there is no good way to overcome it. They can only strengthen meditation and improve their mental attributes through mechanical exercise, which may be more useful.

The totem of the Farstrider troops must be mainly lightness and exploration;

The tribe's existing magic library was not rich enough, and the types of monsters available for large-scale research were also very limited. The witch doctors picked among them and finally determined the target.

This is true even for witch doctors' spellcasting, and the "totem spellcasting" of warriors is even more inseparable from this concept. Its essence is to convert physical strength into some kind of spell effect.

The rest of the witch doctors are either in the process of making breakthroughs, or they are not ready yet.

For example, witch doctors can consume 2 units of physical strength to exert 10 units of spell effects;

The warriors who use totems may need to spend 4 units of physical strength to barely get the result of 8 units;

Therefore, the 'weakening' side effects of the technique are more prominent in them.

However, in the subsequent totem engraving process, the experimental results were not very satisfactory.

Secondly, unlike the decreasing superposition of power increase, the side effects of the spell are fully inherited.

A warrior who activates two totems at the same time will bear two weakening effects that are not serious at first but become significant after superposition after their effects end;

They have to spend more time and supplement more nutrients to restore their bodies to their original state.

Although there are ideas, the actual problem is not as easy to change as imagined. Both solutions have their own difficulties.

First of all, there is a very serious overlap in the effects of the two totems of Brute Force and Giant Strength.

Originally, the former could increase the strength by 20%, and the latter could increase it by 30%, but after superposition, the strength of the warriors did not increase to 50%, but stayed at only a little more than 30%.

The former is to find a way to solve the energy problem so that the troll warriors have more physical energy;

The latter is to solve the problem of physical controllability, which can be solved by making the totem more refined, saving energy, and constantly urging the soldiers to meditate.

The warriors' mental strength is relatively weak, and their physical strength is not capable of precise control;

Therefore, they can only rely on totem 'mechanical casting', which makes the energy consumption even more serious.

Therefore, in addition to the existing 'Listener' and 'Windrunner' totems that will be inscribed on all members, they also plan to turn the 'Polarization Technique' into a totem to provide the Far Walkers with a layer of stealth protection.

.

The result is better than the above, at least the effects of both spells are 100% preserved;

But in terms of duration and weakness penalties, the situation is still not ideal.

And the breakthrough method of Saberya cannot be applied to warriors who are not even apprentices at this stage.

This incident cast another shadow over the prospects of the newly settled tribe.

The result is not only that the ‘Troll Body Meditation Method’ has a more solid foundation at the bottom of the structure;

As a starting point, the witch doctors first tried the original matching experiment of "Giant Power" and "Windrunner".

"It would be great if we could find pure elemental creatures"

Just as Blade Ya was thinking this, an apprentice pushed open the door and entered his office. He reported in a tone that was slightly nervous but also a little excited,

"Your Excellency Speaker, the Farstrider Squadron has returned! It also brought back several intelligent creatures!"

After hearing the words, Blade Ya immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

"Where is it! Take me there quickly!"
