While every member of the army was working hard to build their future home, there were two shiny cocoons in the middle of their lot guarded by rats and their little golems. They were Lorne mowers II and Ben Dover II, and as their mothers, were brood mothers too. David needed tanks and attackers to start hunting, and the solution was simple: plated rhinos and blood vultures. Bone vultures would not be as useful as their red cousin, so Upton was spared of the role.
When they broke free of their crystal prison, they started to produce two eggs right away. David's contract with the Chief stipulated that they were going to feed 200 of his critters, but there wasn't a limit to how many he can have. He Just needed a reliable food source to feed the rest.And that reliable food source would come very soon with the new druidic spells: Voice of the forest and Poem of roses.[Poem of roses: Increase the size of flowers and roots 25 meters around the user. (55 AF) (3 hours, 30 mJust as the Chief finished brawling with a 6-meters tall six-armed ape, he caught a helmet made out of green crystal that someone threw in his direction. He wore it and tapped at the right side of it as if he was activating a communicator."I want a full report of the situation." Spoke the Chief in a solemn tone just before throwing a punch against a sneaky greater chameleon. "Dance of thorns." He whispered before gray-colored thorned vines popped from the ground and trapped the reptile, a nearby member of the tribe decapitated it with a sword."Yes, Chief." Answered a calm, feminine voice, there was a lot of noise on the other side of the call as well, mostly screeches and the buzz from insect wings. "The swamp front is full of insectoids and reptiles, and some amphibians appear sometimes, but they refuse to engage with our forces because they would be vulnerable to their predators.""The members of the tower are making their golems patrol the streets! So far, three
Just as the charm spell started to run out and the warriors began to sustain more injuries from the attacks of the reptiles, a pair of gargoyles dropped from the sky carrying a 2-meter tall cocoon in their arms and heavy bags on their backs. A cord connected the bags to the chrysalis, and a set of runes glowed on its surface surrounding a palm print. The Leader smiled when she saw the golems, approached them, and put her palm on the print. "This is Benedictia, Captain of team D, and the supervisor of the acid swamp front. I authorize the release of the Excalibur, and I will be responsible for its integrity."The golems nodded and tapped the runes while she was still touching the print, then they severed the cord connecting to their bodies, losing all of their power. The cocoon crumbled, and a standing humanoid with a pair of white curved horns remained in its center. It had plant fibers covering its body and head like a second set of muscles. Tempered crystal armor
David tried his best to involve himself with the fight, but the enemies were too high level. Not even his strongest attacks could make a single digit of damage, much less kill anything. He tried to get a hold onto the bows, crossbows, and even the blowpipes that the warriors were using, but it was futile because they didn't let his units get close to them. "How can i do this, then?" Whispered David as he looked at the quest that appeared when the Chief made that bombastic entrance.[Incursion in progress!][The allied settlement "Winged skull tribe" is under attack!][You can receive rewards depending on your contribution.][Time remaining: 00:00:02:22:54:03]He tried to get more contribution by sending his rats to repair weapons, carry ammunition, and do some first aid to people that would likely survive. But he knew that wasn't enough. He needed to do something more meaningful in these three days that the attack would last, sadly his resources were p
Even if the brutal arrows were a needed discovery, it didn't change the fact that the two fronts were currently losing terrain. The crocodiles and the treants approached the village every second, and their threat rose with every step. They couldn't neglect the Bugs and the trees either. If a warrior made a mistake, then not even their blood would remain.
Life, nobody knows how or why it came to be. Some people say that when the right elements at the right time collided with each other, the first and the most simple organism was born. Others think that an eternal and everlasting God created everything that existed. But there was an undeniable fact that everyone agreed on after countless years of quarrels and discussion. It began in the most humble of ways: a unicellular organism.
"You've been playing for a lot of time!" Alex appeared out of nowhere, frightening David. "The doctor recommends starting returning to reality now and then to let your body heal up properly, do you want to get up now?" He asked innocently, sitting on his little cloud."Yes...I want to get out to get some fresh air for a bit, but next time try to be less subtle with your approach." He said, standing up from his chair and sighing. "I'll relay some orders and log out, then.""Understood!" The boy disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving David all alone again. "Okay, let's settle this, then."---Andrew reached the hospital when the message reached him. He was wearing a simple white shirt and a pair of black jeans. His hair was still a bit messy and wet and forgot to shave his beard in his hurry. He sat on one of the chairs of one of the VR rooms a couple of minutes later.
The police used the time that David was resting out of the capsule to interrogate him and tell him the news. He was in disbelief, not expecting the woman to jump out of the window. With all the time she worked with them, she never let any depressive or suicidal tendencies. After the officer left his room, David sighed and frowned. After leaving his condolences to the family, he tried to distract himself by chatting with his brother. A couple of hours later, After drinking soup for lunch and talking with his family, David returned to SSO.---
