Chapter 124 Ancient Tree of Wind
Yu Fei is not going to use the magic crystals of level 3, 4, and 6 for the time being. These three levels of magic crystals are used to exchange for equipment for soldiers, corresponding to the equipment that can be worn by ordinary level, the equipment that can be equipped by elite level, and the exclusive equipment for elite level soldiers. Then, he can only convert the extra magic crystals of level 5 and magic crystals below level 3.
Yu Fei has reserved eight magic crystals of level 5 for Illidan and Maiev to exchange for primary exclusive equipment, so Yu Fei converted all the 52 magic crystals of level 5 harvested this time into energy, converting a total of 26,000 units of energy. Although there are many magic crystals below level 3, because of their low level, only about 8,000 units of energy are converted.
Well, the effect of begging is very good. Just by converting the magic crystals of level 5 and magic crystals below level 3, more than 34,000 units of energy are harvested. If all the magic crystals harvested this time are converted, I am afraid that the number will be more than doubled. Yu Fei looked at those level 3, 4 and 6 magic crystals with regret.
However, the purpose of converting energy is to enhance the strength of the night elves. Exchanging military equipment can also greatly enhance the strength of military units, so it is not a waste. Anyway, energy can be obtained by collecting energy mines. Now we can also open branch bases. The next step is to let Tyrande and others find new energy mines and build branch bases.
However, energy mines are limited after all, and they are considered non-renewable energy. In the future, when we upgrade to the Eternal Tree, we may consume more energy, and we have to find a better way to obtain energy. Yu Fei remembered a novel he had read on Earth. The protagonist in it also collected energy to build buildings and soldiers to fight for hegemony in the end times, but the energy mines in it can be regenerated, but he can't, which is depressing.
At this time, there are as many as thirty elves collecting wood, which can provide Yu Fei with 150 units of wood resources every ten minutes. The wood and energy for building the Ancient Tree of Wind have all been gathered. Yu Fei gave a newly produced elf an order to build the Ancient Wind Tree. The elf immediately drilled into the ground at the place designated by Yu Fei, and then a tree gradually grew out of the ground.
Yu Fei had converted 33,000 units of energy from the Level 5 magic crystals he had harvested during the "Warcraft Siege" before, and the mopping-up operation had harvested about 34,000 units of energy. In addition, the energy mines were still providing energy, so the consumption of 14,000 units of energy for the Ancient Wind Tree was not a big deal. But the wood ran out again.
Yu Fei was determined to continue producing elves. Anyway, there was enough energy now, and the only thing missing was wood. It didn't matter if he got more elves to collect wood. As for the population problem, he just had to build more moon wells. Now the ancient space in his body could accommodate 150 moon wells, which was enough for use - at most, it would consume some more energy and wood.
At this time, Yu Fei had about 55,000 units of energy, but because of insufficient wood, he could not research technologies that consumed a lot of wood, so he set his sights on the War Ancient Tree. There are five technologies available for research in the War Ancient Tree, but the research of shooting and moon blade requires more than 10,000 units of wood, which is obviously not available now. However, the three technologies of hard bow, sentinel and piercing blade can be said to be very cheap and can be researched now.
After paying 1,000 units of energy and 1,000 units of wood, the hunter's sentinel skill began to be researched. Yu Fei's wood resources have dropped to double digits at this time. However, Yu Fei calculated that the research of sentinel takes an hour. After an hour, the wood will almost return to 1,000 units, and then the hard bow or piercing blade can continue.
After an hour, the sentinel skill research is completed, and the sentinel skills of all huntresses are activated. However, Yu Fei noticed that elite-level huntresses can have two sentinel owls at the same time, while elite-level huntresses can have three. Then, the normal level should be one? Because the female hunters under his command have all advanced to the elite level or elite level, Yu Fei can only guess.
Next, Yu Fei studied the hard bow. The effect of this technology is to increase the archer's range by 50 meters. Well, yes, this is the effect that a rattan short bow can achieve. But after this technology is studied, unlike the equipment of the troop, which can only be improved individually, the entire archer troop can be improved.
Another hour later, the hard bow technology research was completed, and at the same time, the construction of the ancient tree of wind was also completed. Yu Fei ignored the improvement that the hard bow brought to the archer, and directly probed his mental power into the ancient tree of wind.
Ancient tree of wind:
Attack type: normal
Attack power: ★★★★☆
Armor type: enhanced
Armor: ★★
Health: ★★★★☆
*Training horned eagle: melee flying unit, you can learn the skill of taming horned eagle. Can attack air units.
Research Taming Hippogryphs: Allows archers to ride on the back of Hippogryphs and become Hippogryph Riders. Hippogryph Riders can attack both air and ground units.
*Training Raptor Druids: Flexible magic units. From the beginning, they can cast Faerie Fire to reduce the enemy's armor and make the enemy invisible. They can also learn Storm Crow, Hurricane and Raptor's Mark skills. They can attack air and ground units.
Research Raptor's Mark: Allows Raptor Druids to cast Faerie Fire in the Storm Crow state. Requires Raptor Druid Master Training (Not satisfied)
Research Raptor Druid Expert Training: Increase the maximum mana, mana regeneration speed, health and attack power of Raptor Druid in Night Elf state. And give it the Storm Crow skill.
*Train Elf Dragon: Small flying unit, good at damaging enemy magic units. Possess disguised movement, magic flame and magic immunity skills. Can attack air units and ground units.
Oh hehe, Hippogryph is out! Then Hippogryph Rider will soon appear, whether it is Hippogryph or Hippogryph Rider, it means that the Night Elves will soon have a large-scale air force. However, the number of Hippogryph and Hippogryph Rider must be controlled.
In Warcraft, Hippogryph can only fight in close combat, which is the only close combat air unit in Warcraft. Other races, such as Dragonhawk Rider and Griffin Rider of Human Race; Wind Rider and Self-explosive Bat of Orcs; Gargoyle and Frost Dragon of Undead can all attack remotely. Only the Hippogryph of the Night Elves can attack in melee combat. After studying and taming the Hippogryph, archers must ride on it before they can attack from a distance.
However, the limitation in the game is that although the Hippogryph is a melee attack and should be able to attack ground units, the game design does not allow Hippogryph to attack ground units. Also, the attack power of the Hippogryph is actually very strong, but after the archer rides on it, the attack power displayed in the game becomes that of the archer. At the same time, the Hippogryph cannot attack in melee combat.
This is obviously unreasonable in reality. In reality, the attack power of the Hippogryph itself will obviously not be covered by the archer, which makes the Hippogryph Knight a soldier that can attack both near and far. However, riding an archer on the body will definitely affect the combat power of the Hippogryph; therefore, some pure Hippogryphs must be obtained - these Hippogryphs can also be used as reconnaissance forces.
As for the Talon Druid, it is the auxiliary unit of the Night Elves - of course, after transforming into a Storm Crow, they are also an air combat unit, and their combat power is not weak. But mainly speaking, the Talon Druid mainly plays the role of weakening the enemy (Spirit Fire) and controlling the enemy (Hurricane).
Spirit Fire can reduce the defense of the affected unit, even a creature as strong as the Earth Bear will become fragile under the Spirit Fire. And the unit that has been cast with the Heart Fire cannot be invisible, which makes the Talon Druid the natural enemy of thieves on the Eslaze continent.
After all, the Mage's Eye of Breaking Invisibility can only bless one person, giving him the ability to see through invisibility. And the Spirit Fire can make the marked unit visible to everyone. When you encounter professions like thieves and assassins, you can use Dust Shadow to temporarily reveal them, and then let the Raptor Druid bless them with the Spirit Fire, so that the thieves will have nowhere to hide - at the same time, the thieves, whose defense is already very low, will probably die if they are hit or touched.
The Hurricane skill will make the affected unit unable to attack, cast magic, move, or use items. In short, it can't do anything. Of course, the unit that has been cast with the Hurricane cannot be attacked. In the game, this is an excellent skill to control the enemy's powerful units first, delay time, and break them one by one.
However, in this real world, the Hurricane skill should change, at least, the state of being unable to be attacked should not appear. Yu Fei guessed that this skill may become a magic that combines attack and restriction. However, the restriction will definitely not be as strong as in the game, and it may only have the effect of temporary restraint and deceleration.
However, the Hurricane skill can only be acquired after studying the Raptor Druid Master Training, and studying the Raptor Druid Master Training is something that can only be done at the Eternal Tree level. It is still a bit far away to think about it now. Yu Fei actually felt a little regretful. Whether it is the Claw Druid or the Raptor Druid, their value can only be maximized after studying the Eternal Tree level technology. And Yu Fei, who still doesn't know what the Eternal Heart is, obviously can't reach the Eternal Tree level in a short time.
