From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 174 ‘Innate’ Elves and the Brewing War

These substances that serve as induction sources can only be 'special' meat balls extracted from the bodies of advanced witch doctors.

The meat ball itself is a mixture of 'bone growth cells', 'epidermal cells', 'muscle cells', and a series of other cells. It was initially shaped into an 'artificial placenta' together with plant tissue.

The 'special' thing about each component in the meat ball is that before they are separated from the body, they will undergo advanced self-meditation suggestions from advanced witch doctors, and will be given a kind of 'long-term self-division' and 'high-energy limiting conditions' in advance.

‘Independent survival’, ‘Inducing carcass deformation’ and other ‘commands’.

Therefore, after it leaves its original body, under the influence of this series of hints, it will indirectly combine with the fertilized egg through the placenta at the very beginning to play the role of Nesta when she was transforming her body.

The 'role' played by a purple-changing cell affects the direction of adaptive changes produced by the fertilized egg during its growth and division.

During this process, the embryo that gradually grew out of the fertilized egg not only gradually gained the ability to convert light under its influence, but its bone growth, body shape, etc., also began to transform in the overall direction of elfization.

Of course, since there is no communication at the 'genetic level' in this process, the meat ball does not actually grow into the embryo;

What it does is just inducement.

Therefore, these fertilized eggs will not have the problem of 'eldership'. Strictly speaking, what they continue is still the product of the union of the sperm and the egg provider.

So, when the war between the headquarters and the Hornhoof Tribe began, and long after it ended, the product of the tribe's first 'Troll Body' experiment finally emerged.

Except for the vampire-style fangs that have been shrunk and completely hidden in the mouth, no matter it is the different shades of purple skin, hair, eyes, or the pointed ears

All these characteristics indicate that he is a ‘natural’ elf!

~~~~~~

The city of New Toulon has two central points, the chief's 'official residence' in the north and the 'ancestral altar' in the south. The chief and the shaman exercise their respective rights and obligations at these two central points.

Although the horned hoof race is a race where all people are soldiers, all adults can be said to have the power to fight on the battlefield.

As two unfamiliar words were spoken, huge force acted directly on their arms. Their arms were tightly clasped upside down, and their entire bodies were pressed to the ground.

"Hey, you're just here to drink. Then I'll tell you. Don't tell the other guys?"

"This wooden tool is not easy to work with at all. I really don't know how those barbarians in the south did it."

After several months of intensive training, the expeditionary force has been integrated;

There were a total of 3,500 troops, with soldiers from various services serving as officers at all levels, plus a hundred witch doctor apprentices, and seven witch doctors. Together they rode a large galley and sailed northward along the river.

The struggle seemed unnecessary, and the fanged barbarian spent almost no effort to completely restrain the two horn-hoofed species, tie them up with vines, and take them away in the direction opposite to the main city.

And more than 200 kilometers further from here, there is a large-scale new main city built by the horned hoof species.

~~~~~

The main city of the Hornhoof species is called 'New Toulon City', and its scale is larger than the old city of the Tooth Department headquarters;

Almost the entire population of the Hornhoof tribe is crammed into its interior, with about 32,000 people living here.

Turn back the time slightly, no, it should be a big callback, and temporarily change the perspective to the prelude to the war with the horn-hoofed tribe.

"Definitely, definitely~"

But even just downstream, the hydrological environment of the Heihe River here also has many different changes due to differences in surrounding terrain.

"How is it impossible? This is what my younger brother saw with his own eyes, and he was received by the chief because of it~. It's a pity that our boat is not big enough to transport things back, otherwise we won't have to work so hard in the future.

."

"I don't know. I heard that the shamans are all busy with this matter."

While talking, the two of them had walked out of the farming area along the field ridge and came to a lonely tree on the edge;

They put down the all-wooden, nail-head plow-like tools in their hands against the tree, and sat down cross-legged under the shade.

"Oh, didn't my younger brother join that caravan? He just returned from a trip to the south some time ago. Ahem, no, no, I heard this is a secret of the top brass."

At this time, the males working in the adjacent fields always get together. They secretly compare the food prepared by their wives while chatting all over the world.

"I heard that those guys with fangs in the south are not really barbarians. They can use such big wooden tools to cultivate hundreds of acres of fields in a few days."

"Okay! Let's go together~"

As he spoke, Da Zhuang drew a big circle in his hand, trying to show how big the 'big guy' he was talking about was.

Different from the 'mechanized' operations of the dental department, horn hoof farming really requires animal power and brute force to exert effort;

Therefore, during the busy farming season, work in the fields alone can account for nearly 80% of the tribe's strong labor force.

"Let's eat~"

The big horned-hoofed species looked around cautiously. Even though he knew that no other 'people' were here, he pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said,

They were eager to try on both sides, but still restrained their desire to attack under the eager gaze of the monsters, and finally successfully reached the trumpet-shaped gap area outside the mountain.

From the known information, it can be concluded that the Black River is a super giant river that originates from outside the mountains. The part that flows in the vast black forest is strictly speaking only its downstream area.

“I don’t know when we will find iron ore.”

Especially in the section flowing among the mountains, the river in the high mountains and deep gorges is narrow and rapid. The power provided by the sails and oars alone cannot support the tribe's ships and offset the southward pushing force of the river water.

Therefore, in many sections of the deep stream, trolls must go ashore and rely on the pull of the rope to drive the ship to continue moving in the north direction.

The little strong horned hoof cannot imagine what the so-called 'big guy who can plow' is, so he doesn't believe it at all at the moment and just thinks that this senior has been deceived by his relatives.

The older Hornhoof swallowed the words as they reached his lips and shook his head to stop.

Da Zhuang took it as he was told, pulled out the cork and took a swig.

"簌~Good Vino! Fortunately, she is a female of the Adler clan. This skill is really good!"

"Yes, brother?"

"Haha! That's right! Just take this bottle back and drink it slowly~"

Recently, the fanged barbarians in the southern forest happen to be one of the most popular topics.

Just like now, two horn-hoofed species, one big and one young, met each other as usual at the field bank after bidding farewell to their wives who had returned to the city together.

"What do you say, brother? They are those barbarians who don't even know how to wear clothes. Did they make another joke?"

Between these outposts are large tracts of farmland, where strong laborers and the occasional young horn-hoofed species can be seen, working hard on these farmlands.

At this point, the ‘third phase of the population sublimation project’ has been declared completed, and the next fourth phase will be studied on the transformation methods of existing trolls.

"Okay, I'll send you some barbeque meatloaf later. Didn't I just say that my little brother just brought it back from the south. He said it can be kept for a long time."

During the lunch break, peasant women would bring meals from the city and call to their husbands to come and eat quickly to ensure their strength for the next 12 hours.

"Ah? It's true or false, how is that possible?"

"Okay, thank you then. Brother, tell me more. What's going on in the south?"

~~~

Although the younger horn-hoofed species felt itchy to hear this, he did not urge him directly. Instead, he took out a bottle from the wooden dining frame and handed it over before saying,

"clear!"

Outside the main city, in all directions, the horned hoof species also built more than ten independent outposts, with warning towers on them that could be used to light up the smoke.

But he didn't mean to 'reveal' it, he just let out a few exclamations in cooperation, letting the lunch end in a relaxed atmosphere.

After finishing the meal, the two horn-hoofed species took a lunch break leaning against the tree, preparing to recuperate before continuing their afternoon work.

"Come on, brother, let's take a few sips first. This is the fruit vino brewed privately by my family. How do you like it if you try it?"

But not long after they closed their eyes, there was a whistling wind in their ears. The two horn-hoofed species opened their eyes in surprise, and then they saw five fanged barbarians, who appeared alive in front of them.

before.

"take away!"

Not only trolls, but also moose can act as trackers. With the combined efforts of both parties, more than 70 ships transporting troops and food finally passed through the mountains in a month.

Shenjian area.

But even so, in order to fight against the old enemy and ensure the authoritative status of the chief and shaman, the tribe still maintains the existence of two elite regiments with special numbers all year round.

One is the ‘Earthshaker Legion’ that visited the Ya tribe with the chief’s three sons;

The 'Earthshaker Legion' is the chief's direct escort force, with a total of 500 members, all of whom are composed of the most elite horned hoof species. The warrior's main weapon is a thick special wooden stake, and the secondary weapon is a metal giant axe.

.

The second is the ‘Ancestor Spirit Army’ directly controlled by the shaman;

Due to its special requirements for qualifications, the Legion has extremely few members. Although it is named "Legion", in fact its total number of soldiers rarely exceeds double digits.

Before the horned hoof species migrated here and were still at their peak population of more than 100,000 people, the Ancestral Spirit Legion had reached its peak size and once had nearly 200 members;

But now, as the total population of the tribe has shrunk to one-third of its original size, the size of the legion has also shrunk sharply, and now it can barely maintain its strength of 33 members.

This change not only makes the shamans feel heartbroken, but also makes the chiefs and clan elders both sad and happy.
