Chapter 1393: Chapter 397: The Army Flag Rolls Out

If it wasn’t after this meeting that the Andulan elder explained to Liu Zhenhan about the Giant’s unique skill, the Feilengcui Lord would definitely have found an excuse to send all the Giants away without hesitation. Although Liu was progressive enough, he was not yet fashionable to that extent.

The Giants’ unique skill, known as "Spring Scissors"------------- don’t be fooled by the name, it is merely a craft of performing plant grafting using scissors.

Plant grafting means transferring parts of one plant to another plant body, allowing them to heal and grow together to become a new plant individual.

The Giant’s "Spring Scissors" grafting technique possesses an unbelievably high level of excellence.

They can graft summer-ripe grapes onto daffodils, causing this "grafted daffodil" to bear fruits in the dead of winter that are typically found only in midsummer!

They can graft marigolds, which bloom with the spring breeze, onto fragrant maple trees, preserving the memories of green willow days until the leaves turn to frosty red.

In the realm of Plant System Magic, there actually exists a "Magic grafting technique," but it is a Forbidden Curse-level magic confined to Magic Tutors and sacred mages, designed to transfer a Mage’s entire Magic Power to another person through the "Magic grafting technique"; this is entirely different from the Giants’ "Spring Scissors", which purely revolves around horticultural skills in tending plants.

Liu Zhenhan, who lacked genuine talents but had some quirky brilliance, understood the old Dragon’s intentions of not dismissing the Giants before his return as soon as he heard the introduction from the Andulan elder.

What Feilengcui is currently short of the most is oil gourd, a strategic weapon whose growth cycle is too slow and limited by seasonal and climatic influences; without the "Life Spring," there’s virtually no possibility of mass production.

For the quest of finding a substitute for the oil gourd, Liu Zhenhan had literally turned his hair white; his trip to the Dragon’s Tomb resulting in over three hundred bodies of the Underworld Guards were specifically for creating the "Durex Burst Arrow" as a substitute for the oil gourd.

But one must first admit the reality------------- Feilengcui’s alchemy technology is truly weak!

With so many Magical Beast corpses plus the original stockpile, the Fei City Alchemy Laboratory wouldn’t finish processing them by the end of next year.

"Durex Burst Arrow" is a consumable item; if the military production speed cannot keep up, having an abundance of Magical Beast corpses for raw materials is also futile.

Liu Zhenhan’s original plan was to take advantage of the fallen Elves’ extensive expeditions against the Elf tribes in the Southern Cross Star Forest. He intended to follow behind and secretly stir up chaos, tricking or deceiving whenever possible, trying every trick to bring an Elf Tribe back to Feilengcui. The Elves’ magical talent is the foremost across the Pan Continent; even a small tribe of over 500 Forest Elves could select several Alchemists. If a larger Elf Tribe were brought back, the daily production of the powerful weapon "Durex Burst Arrow" would greatly surge, replacing oil gourd as Feilengcui’s ace weapon.

The appearance of the Giants provided Liu Zhenhan another option----------- on the Aegean Continent, if there was any plant noted for rapid growth, undoubtedly it would be the Elves’ plants; the rapid construction of a green city in Lucian in a short span is proof; if the Giants could graft oil gourd seedlings onto the vines grown from Elf seeds using their scissors, relying on the rapid growth rate of Elf plants, the oil gourd would undeniably re-enter the battlefield.

The Giants brought Liu Zhenhan far more than just that imagination----------- Feilengcui’s Gold-Pointing Mulberry needs over eight hundred years to grow into "Morading’s Fury"; if Gold-Pointing Mulberry was grafted onto an ancient tree, wouldn’t Feilengcui’s Babylon Giant Cannon be able to use cannonballs filled with "Morading’s Fury"?

Just thinking of this possibility nearly suffocated Liu Zhenhan in happiness.

But...

To realize all these wonderful ideas, there remains one most crucial challenge waiting for the Overlord to solve!

The Shepherd-tree People’s elder, Cruyff, has clearly told Liu Zhenhan, Elves are essentially parasites of the forest, relying on "Eternal Moon Well" to harvest the forest and nature’s essences, which are then transmitted through "Tree of Life" to all the Elf plants, enabling them to achieve an abnormal growth rate and construct a city within mere days.

Without the "Eternal Moon Well" and "Tree of Life," Elf plants can still absorb the essence of the forest and grow faster than regular plants, but compared to those nurtured by "Eternal Moon Well" and "Tree of Life," it’s a difference of heaven and earth.

Now, what Feilengcui lacks are not Elf seeds; the shortages are the "Eternal Moon Well" and "Tree of Life"—these two items, alongside a large-scale temple, high-ranking Elf priests, and Elf Alchemists, are birthed only in historical, large-scale Elf Tribes, indispensable all together.

If those four key elements: "Eternal Moon Well", "Tree of Life", high-ranking Elf priests, and Elf Alchemists are acquired, Feilengcui would simultaneously possess three strategic trump cards: "Durex Burst Arrow," oil gourd, and "Morading’s Fury"-------------this is the ultimate conclusion Liu Zhenhan came to.

It could also be said that the entire fate of Feilengcui and even the entire Bimon Kingdom hinges on whether the Feilengcui Overlord can acquire these key elements.
