Chapter 108: “Reforesting Campaign”
La Colline was undergoing a smooth reforestation.
One of World Tree’s terminals produced via [Root Division] had been planted in the center of the hill. It was using [Scatter Seeds] there, so a tiny forest had already begun to appear. [Scatter Seeds] only made more treants that were the same race as the original, but they wouldn’t be terminals for World Tree. The same was true if a terminal used [Root Division], which meant that the same limitations preventing World Tree from duplicating itself applied. The use of [Magnum Beneficium] via the terminal caused accelerated growth among the treants, and the terminal itself in the center had already become an elder camphor treant. Rare was also helping with the reforesting while testing out her [Plant Magic].
“This won’t cause the soil to become barren, I hope. I wonder what happens to the nutrients in the ground.”
If they needed organic matter from dead creatures, those would need to be procured from somewhere.
<As things are currently, that can be determined later. The city did have many humans living here, correct?>
Sugaru was right. Indeed, there were many former residents that had been laid to rest here beneath the earth.
As La Colline was being reforested, the ants who had arrived first were excavating a new nest underground while aerial soldiers patrolled overhead.
“With this many trees, we should implement more three-dimensional tactics. Unfortunately, our ants primarily operate on the ground, and the wasps are too big to make use of their mobility in forests. Perhaps we should produce more spiders.”
<Before our next campaign occurs, it would be ideal to confirm all options at our disposal.>
