Chapter 233 Fountain of Life
After deciding to come to Donnar to fight the Green Tide, Roland was thinking about a question besides how to kill Kan'ozu.
That’s how to deal with the Green Tide in their prime.
Although the Green Tide Army are all quickly-made transcendents, they are outnumbered.
In his previous life, Kan Ozu’s death could be said to be due to his arrogance and falling into a trap.
If he hadn't been so arrogant and thought he was invincible, and hadn't rushed too far forward, causing the entire green tide to be intercepted by the armies of the Silver Empire and the Moon Elves, and he was forced to be beaten up by several legends alone, he wouldn't have died so easily.
If he had been acting with the Green Tide Army, even if he was beaten up by several legends, he would not have been beaten to death directly because of the large number of extraordinary people in the Green Tide Army and the huge vitality that they could absorb.
If it was a one-on-one fight or a gang fight with Kan'aozu, Roland could still think of a way to kill him, but if it was Kan'aozu and the Green Tide Army, Roland would be really helpless.
Therefore, Roland needed a large and powerful military force, like the armies of the Silver Empire and the Moon Elves, to fight against the Green Tide and buy time for him to kill Kan'ozu.
So, Roland began to look for ways to build such a military force.
High-intensity training, popularizing breathing techniques, meditation methods, and forming a super army in advance were all ways that Roland came up with to improve the soldiers' strength at a speed that could catch up with the green-skinned orcs.
Later, Roland also planned to think of ways to improve the soldiers' strength as much as possible from the aspects of weapons and equipment, props and materials, and military formations.
But, in addition to the issue of strength, there is another issue, which is quantity.
Roland couldn't be so cruel as to grant the Donnar people the same reproductive ability as Kan'ozu did when he granted the greenskins the miraculous ability to reproduce at the cost of destroying the orcs' future.
Besides, Roland is not a legend, and he can’t do this now.
Therefore, the reproductive capacity of the Donnar people is still at the level of normal people.
Even if Roland completely abandoned the bottom line and lowered the conscription age to the limit, one would still have to be at least seven or eight years old and have some strength to be able to join the army.
Even so, it takes seven or eight years for a human cub to be born and able to go to the battlefield.
Even if Roland could drag it out for seven or eight years, given Donnar's current situation, how many newborns could he have?
In short, the reproductive capacity of humans cannot compete with that of the green-skinned orcs, so Roland will definitely not be able to win in terms of population.
Therefore, Roland had no choice but to choose another path.
Since the speed of population replenishment and development cannot be faster than that of the green-skinned orcs, wouldn't it be better to bring back the dead population and reduce casualties?
With this idea in mind, Roland built the underground building in front of him, the Fountain of Life.
In order to build this building, Roland used nearly half of the high-grade extraordinary materials excavated from the Mount Kess.
However, although the price paid was not small, Roland was quite satisfied with the effect of the Fountain of Life.
The Fountain of Life can quickly revive those transcendents below the fourth ring who have not yet completed the first sublimation. As long as sufficient vitality and matter are invested, low-level transcendents and ordinary legion soldiers can be resurrected immediately, and they can return to normal as long as they can survive the ten-day weak period.
Although mid-level extraordinary people can also be resurrected, in addition to vitality and matter, they also need to invest a certain amount of extraordinary materials. Moreover, the resurrection process of mid-level extraordinary people will be very slow. Depending on the strength, it will take at least a month to complete the resurrection. If it is in a weak period, it will take at least a year. As for high-level extraordinary people, the current Fountain of Life cannot revive them.
However, in addition to these consumptions, the Fountain of Life has another disadvantage, which is that it requires leaving a life mark in advance.
The imprint of life requires human flesh, blood and soul as raw materials. The stronger the strength, the greater the consumption of leaving the imprint of life, and the longer the weakening period afterwards.
Moreover, in addition to weakness, the life imprint made of flesh, blood and soul is originally a product of necromancy. If it falls into the hands of a necromancer, it will be no different from life in his hands.
Not to mention that the entire Fountain of Life was created by Roland himself. As long as Roland wanted to, he could use the imprint of life to curse the corresponding soldiers with a snap of his fingers.
Therefore, although Roland created a resurrection fountain, he did not expose its existence, but covered it up tightly.
Even if they were his own people, after creating the Life Mark, Roland would engrave a ban on them with the Life Mark to ensure that they would not reveal the existence of the Fountain of Life.
After all, due to his lack of strength, Roland's method of resurrection was not clean.
Although the Fountain of Life looks bright and beautiful on the outside, its inner power is mainly realized by necromancy, and it is not ordinary necromancy.
When Rolandli was building the Fountain of Life, he used the power of the Crown of Blessing and Domination. Therefore, the aura of the Crown of Blessing and Domination also touched the Fountain of Life.
The blessing was not a big deal, after all, it was just stained with some of the aura of the dark elemental world. Even if he was discovered, as long as Roland was a little tough, he would be fine.
After all, it's normal for a necromancer to have some connection with the dark elemental world.
However, it would be bad if the aura of the Crown of Domination was discovered.
As the Lich King's former crown, the Crown of Domination has devoured countless souls in Sinnar, absorbed countless negative energies and dark elements, and formed an aura of evil and terror.
Even though the Crown of Domination was shattered by Littorio, purified by Littorio, and worn away by the power of time, the reassembled Crown of Domination still retained this aura.
Any normal living being will feel deep disgust when coming into contact with this breath.
Roland usually uses the Crown of Domination to kill people. There is naturally nothing wrong with the aura of the Crown of Domination. If he is going to kill people, isn't it normal for him to have some malice?
But, it would not be good if it came into contact with the fountain of life.
Although Roland could guarantee that the aura had been purified by him, it was just for show and had little effect on the Fountain of Life.
However, outsiders may not necessarily believe this. If it were exposed, the Locke resistance might change direction and kill Roland first.
However, due to Roland's strict defense, the only person who knew about the aura of the Crown of Domination was Hela, who assisted Roland in its construction.
Even the legion soldiers who died in the previous annihilation battle and then resurrected at the Fountain of Life did not know about these circumstances.
All they could see was the glamorous appearance and the pool of blood that Roland used to cover up the real situation and fool them.
