530: Chapter 165: The Powerful and Special Druid (Part 2) 530: Chapter 165: The Powerful and Special Druid (Part 2) And yet, his lower half had four limbs that touched the ground, much like the mythical centaurs from legend.
But Ye Yinzhu was certain that this was not a centaur, because atop his head were two antlers with several branches.
His entire skin was a faint green color, perfectly blending with the spirit of nature.
The one walking last didn’t look human at all; it was a giant bird.
Even with its wings folded, it stood over one and a half meters tall.
Its sharp red eyes shone with a cold light.
It was covered in dark blue feathers, and its beak, over a foot long, resembled a sharp short sword.
Most distinctively, there were seven colorful feathers prominently above its head.
Seeing these four individuals, especially the strange bird at the end, for some reason, a strong sense of familiarity arose within Ye Yinzhu.
Anya stood up and introduced with a smile, “Let me introduce you.
Elders, this is the one I’ve told you about, who repelled the Milan Empire’s three hundred thousand soldiers with the “Six Paths of Reincarnation”—the Lord of Qin City, Ye Yinzhu.
Now, these three are his friends, Sura, and His Highness Emperor Zi of the Amethyst Behemoth and Emperor Ming of the Mountain Giant—the four great Divine Beasts of the Beastman Clan.”
The four beings Anya referred to as elders merely bowed slightly to Ye Yinzhu and his group without saying much.
Anya seemed accustomed to their behavior, explaining apologetically to Ye Yinzhu and his friends, “The Elders of the Druid Clan rarely speak, but they are undoubtedly the best allies of our Elf Tribe.
The relationship between the Elves and Druids surpasses even that between the Dwarf race and the Goblin Tribe.
We are the closest of panions.”
As she spoke, Anya approached the first druid who had entered the treehouse and said, “This is the first Elder of the Druid Clan, also the Clan Leader of the Clawed Druid Clan, Chief Harvey.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded towards Harvey with a smile and said, “Hello.”
Harvey, with a solemn expression, nodded back at Ye Yinzhu, acknowledging the greeting.
Next, Anya introduced the second individual, “This is the second Elder of the Druid Clan, Chief Enli, Clan Leader of the Raptor Druid Clan.
The third Elder is the Clan Leader of the Tree Spirit Druid Clan, Demon Wood.
The last one is an ally of the Druid, Clan Leader of the Horned Hawk Clan, Häagen-Dazs.”
Clawed Druid, Raptor Druid, Tree Spirit Druid, Horned Hawk—these four types of beings were not only new to Ye Yinzhu but even Zi and Ming had never seen them before.
Sensing their confusion, Anya smiled and said, “The four of them represent the strongest forces within the Druid Clan.
The Claw Druids can transform into Giant Bears for bat, and their strength far surpasses that of the Bear People of the Beastman Clan.
They are not only formidable warriors but also powerful mages.
Claw Druids possess two innate magical abilities; one is called Roar, which, under its effect, temporarily enhances the bat effectiveness of all allied soldiers within the range of their roar, similar to the amplification effect in your zither magic.
The other magic is called Rejuvenation, which, when applied, can heal our soldiers significantly in a short period of time; it’s a single magic unit.
Of course, Claw Druids can only cast magic in human form, for once they transform into Giant Bear warriors, they only retain physical offensive power.”
Druids were indeed unfamiliar to Ye Yinzhu; the idea of humans being able to transform into bears and also wield magical power intrigued him.
No wonder Sister Anya would speak of the Druids with such pride.
Ye Yinzhu asked with some curiosity, “What about the strengths of the other Elders?”
Anya explained, “Raptor Druids are the best scouts; they can transform into large birds and soar freely through the skies.
Since they are very close to nature, as long as they are in a natural environment, even Zi rank powerhouses can’t detect their presence.
Raptor Druids also have their own innate magic, which is the power of wind.
They can conjure tornadoes to attack enemies using the natural force of wind.
The weakness of Raptor Druids lies in their weak defensive power, and the intensity of their tornado attack isn’t very high.
However, their tornadoes are different from ordinary wind attribute magic.
They possess a unique property that doesn’t conflict with any magic, meaning once they release their tornadoes, no matter how powerful the enemy mages are, they will be unavoidably affected and temporarily lose their ability to attack.”
pared to the Claw Druids, the Raptor Druids seemed a bit weaker, but Ye Yinzhu valued even more the reconnaissance ability that Anya mentioned.
With Raptor Druids around, it looked like he wouldn’t need to train a special reconnaissance force.
Anya continued, “The Tree Spirit Druids are the best long-range attackers among the Druid Clans.
For ordinary soldiers, the attack range of a regular archer is about five hundred to seven hundred paces, while our Elf archers can shoot around eight hundred paces.
However, Tree Spirit Druids are not archers but spearmen.
Their talent allows them to produce ten special wooden javelins each day, reaching to six hundred paces with an extremely high accuracy, unmatched by any other throwing troops.
Moreover, they do not require any supplies for their spears.
In addition, the javelins they generate possess a natural trait: once they hit the enemy, they produce a slowing effect similar to that of Dark Demon Magic, making it impossible for the enemy to escape.
As for the last, the Horned Hawk Clan — whilst not as powerful in attack as the giant dragons, nor capable of using magic, their speed is even faster than that of giant dragons, and they also possess a certain level of offensive power.
Overall, the power of a Horned Hawk is definitely not inferior to the Human Hawk Dragons you took down using Zither Magic in Qin City.
Formed by Horned Hawks, the Horned Hawk Knights are absolutely the fastest air force on the continent.”
Horned Hawks?
Suddenly, clarity dawned in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, and he finally understood why he found the four Druid Clan Leaders so familiar.
Back in the final battle of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons contest, in the Domain of the Giant Trees, weren’t the magical beasts he encountered there Claw Druids and Horned Hawk creatures?
It seemed that Raptor Druids were also present, but since their attack power wasn’t strong, they didn’t catch much of his attention.
So that Domain of the Giant Trees was akin to the Elf Forest.
Though he understood this in his heart, Ye Yinzhu obviously wouldn’t reveal this secret, even if the encounter had been within an illusion; he would not let the Druid Clan Leaders present know that he had once been their enemy.
From Anya’s introduction, Ye Yinzhu now had a preliminary understanding of the Druid Clan.
In terms of bat power, the Claw Druids were undoubtedly the strongest.
At first glance, Raptor Druids seemed to be the least useful, but considering their reconnaissance ability and their tornadoes that ignored magic defense, if used properly, they could be an important force not to be overlooked.
The Tree Spirit Druids needed no further mention; such powerful long-range fighters who didn’t require supplies and could slow down their enemies were regarded by Ye Yinzhu as no less formidable than the Claw Druids.
As for the Horned Hawks, considering how Martin treasured the Falcon Dragon Knights, one could understand how advantageous an air force they would make up.
The fastest air force could certainly acplish a lot.
“The four clan leaders may return for now.
We will need your help more in the future,” Anya politely said to the four Druid Clan Leaders.
The leading Claw Druid Clan Leader, Harvey, nodded to Anya, saying, “There’s no need for formalities, Your Majesty.
We are vassals of the Elf Tribe, and we are all looking forward to the rise of the Elf Tribe and even more to the Eternal Tree.
We will take our leave now.” The four clan leaders departed one after another.
Hearing Chief Harvey’s words, Ye Yinzhu understood that the Elf Tribe was not just a partner to the Druids but also their leaders.
That is, the Elf Tribe had the full authority to allocate Druid soldiers as they saw fit.
Seeing the gleam in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, Anya couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Yinzhu, is this not a pleasant surprise?”
“It is, it certainly is.
Sister Anya, may I ask how many warriors each of the four Druid Clans has?”
Anya replied with a smile, “There are about five hundred adult Claw Druid warriors; they are also the main bat troop among the Druid Clans.
The Claw Druid’s best partners are the Tree Spirit Druids, who are quite numerous, about two thousand, enough to form two brigades for you.
There are a thousand Raptor Druids, falling between the other two in number.
Don’t underestimate them; if they rank higher than the Tree Spirit Druids, they naturally possess their own formidable power.
Simply put, even a Zi rank Powerhouse would find it difficult in the face of Raptor Druids, as their ‘Blow Winds Stream’ attack method can infuriate anyone to the utmost.
As for the Horned Hawks, there are nearly three thousand of them, making up all the Druids on Ryuzakinus Continent.
In total, five thousand five hundred, and I entrust them all to you from now on.
How to utilize them will depend on your ability.
You said you are going to attack the Flore Kingdom, right?
Take some of them with you.
Even the best talents need the baptism of war to bee stronger.
However, remember one thing: apart from the Horned Hawks, do not let the Druids participate in bloody slaughter, for Druids, like us Elves, are peace-loving races.
This is especially true for the Claw Druids and Raptor Druids, who dislike killing the most.”
