Galen was thinking about the process of how he broke free from the witch doctor's spell. He clearly recalled all the feelings he had after being under the spell.
The spell lasted for at least 30 seconds, and Omar and Varokal thought that their prince might have broken the transformation by relying on treasures from the royal collection. Only he himself knew that he had no chance of dodging Atadin's battle axe, and he even thought he would die on the spot. According to the magical knowledge circulating in the human world, normally, if someone is hit by a witch doctor's sorcery or a mage's transformation spell, such as turning someone into a sheep, their intelligence will be reduced.
In the caster's own words, using a similar transformation spell on any creature can turn it into an animal. The creature's appearance will change, as will the structure of its brain. If it turns into a sheep or a rabbit, it will want to eat grass, and if it turns into a frog, it will want to eat insects and other animal instincts. When Galen turned into a frog, his intelligence was reduced.
He always wanted to stick out his tongue to catch flying insects. It was impossible for him to control himself and use his frog body to avoid attacks. The reason why he was able to wake up and break the spell on his own was thanks to the Heart of Origin. At that moment, he felt the Heart of Origin in his mind emit a wave of bright blue light for the first time. Then, in his daze, Galen seemed to hear a mechanical electronic sound. "Host detected to have been invaded by alien energy. Threat level: low. Cleaning plan query:
Use the magic immune body of the magic destroyer, which will not be affected by any magic after use. This solution has been detected and transformed. Currently unavailable. Second, use a priest to dispel all magical effects on the host. Trial plan, no priest trained, no expert priest training researched, costs 470 gold coins to purchase the right to use this skill." At that moment, Galen was affected by the activation of the Heart of Origin and immediately woke up, avoiding Atadin's attack. Then, he decisively spent 470 gold and used the dispel skill to remove the spell and unexpectedly killed Atadin.
Galen didn't expect the Heart of Origin to have such an alarm function, and judging from the content of the alarm, it could also use magic immunity to turn passive. In the future, wouldn't he be afraid of alien magic like transfiguration, fear, and deterrence cast on him? I'm not even afraid of spell damage, which means I can be half a spellbreaker. How cool! Please call me Garen(T.N from league of legends). Mage Nemesis. Trollbane. Another guess is that after the base is fully developed and all arms and buildings are fully technologically advanced, will I be able to use all the skills of the trained warriors? This is not impossible.
I just spent 470 gold coins to use a dispel skill. The reason for such a high price may be that I haven't built a building to train priests, nor have I trained any priests. However, this guess can be tested now. Galen took Varokar's shield in his hand, then focused his attention on his mind, connected his mental power to the Heart of Origin, and tried to convey to the Heart of Origin that he wanted to use the shield to defend this infantry skill. Shield defense is currently unresearched. Current usage requirement: 300 gold.
Galen opened his eyes with a look of surprise. As expected, he could use the skills of his army. Three hundred gold coins is twice the cost of researching shield defense. Perhaps it's because it hasn't been researched, so the usage requirements are very expensive. If it has been researched and the soldier training skills are available, would the usage threshold be much lower? Galen believes that this new conjecture has a high probability of being correct, so there is no need to rush now, as it can be slowly verified later.
The next step is to reflect on my performance in this surprise attack. Although it sounds good, this time he killed the most trolls, and even killed the two strongest professionals among the trolls. But Galen knew that all of this was thanks to Omar and Varokal, as they diverted most of the attention of the two trolls, and he simply took advantage of the situation to snatch the head. In addition, he made two fatal mistakes.
The first was that he left his two guard chiefs behind. He jumped and charged far away from the two men, leaving them outside the best distance to cover him. He almost died in the sneak attack of the troll Atadin. The second is that he got carried away by the battle. The witch doctor Toby and Atadin were the best among the trolls and were good at seizing opportunities in battle. However, he advanced too recklessly and was hit by a spell, which invisibly made the two cooperate perfectly. If he hadn't had the help of the Heart of Origin, he might have died at Atadin's hands. If you want to change your destiny and the future of Stromgarde, you have to stay alive.
After reflecting on my mistakes, I will remember to stay calm next time and not covet credit or act rashly. Being able to stand is an exit, and being alive is a victory. In short, stay steady and don't waste time. While Galen was still daydreaming, an unknown amount of time passed before Omar and three soldiers finished sorting out the troll supplies. Omar came to Galen and prepared to report the situation to him. Galen was interrupted by Omar's footsteps.
He looked up and asked, "Is it over, Omar?" "Yes, Your Highness. We have already prepared the troll supplies. They mainly include freshly tanned leather, fresh raptor meat, raptor eggs, and some cubs. The rest are poison sacs from giant spiders." After listening to what they said, Galen pondered for a moment and said to Omar, "We should take back all the leather and raptor eggs. We should also try to take the cubs away.
After all, we don't know how to take care of domesticated raptors. Whether they survive depends on their luck. We can use the meat we recognize as raptor meat as food for now. We should throw away the meat of unknown origin." Incidents of Witherbark trolls eating human civilians in Stromgarde have occurred. Although they are not as crazy as the Evil Branch trolls when it comes to capturing trolls from other tribes as food, they have no abstentions when it comes to humans.
Galen doesn't want to eat meat from an unknown animal. "Your Highness, those poison sacs should be used by the trolls to brew their holy medicine. The sacrifice day of the Deadwood Tribe is approaching." Galen knew what Omar meant by this reminder. Although Galen had never dealt with the trolls on the border, he had learned about it from the royal collection of books. The Witherbark trolls and Stromgarde have been fighting for thousands of years, and both sides know each other well.
The population of Stromgarde is much larger than that of the Witherbark tribe, so the latter has always been at a disadvantage. When the Stromgarde army launched a large-scale attack to eliminate them, they would enter the continuous Alterac Mountains and wait until Stromgarde withdrew its troops before coming out of the mountains. The King of Stromgarde of this generation is a legendary warrior, the pinnacle of mortals.
The reason why Deadwood was able to withstand the attack of Galen's father, Thoras Trollbane, for so long was thanks to the Loa spirits they believed in: Shadra, the spider god.
