The brave man opened the coffin and rose

In Anivia's hand is a seed that continues to sprout and grow.

The moment the seed shell breaks, a tender green sprout is released.

As time goes by, the color of the green buds gradually deepens and becomes more intense green.

Then, it actually grew stems directly on Anivia's hand.

Its stems are becoming thicker and thicker, and its leaves are sparkling with vibrant light under the sunlight.

Finally, the heavy ears of wheat emerged from among the leaves.

Such a harvest speed is enough to anger any farmer to death.

It was also thanks to the fact that Kronos was technically a member of the Myers family, a down-and-out noble family, and had not yet been beaten into the dirt by the life of a farmer.

Otherwise, I would have to fight the druid to the death.

"You said before that you would launch an attack in the afternoon, but you went to the 'prison cell' and were asked a few questions, and then you just stayed in the tent and refused to come out. I thought something was wrong."

The silver-haired girl walked up to Abes and put the sack in her hand on the table while speaking.

"Everyone knows that there is just enough food, and we are going to attack the supply point in the afternoon. As a result, you don't issue the order to attack now. After thinking about it, I think we should delay it."

"Everything else is fine, but the food is the only thing that's hard to wait for."

"It just so happened that among the things that the farm people rescued from the fire, there were some wheat seeds. I thought, isn't it the druid's forte to make plants grow? So I asked her right away."

Abes looked at the sack of seeds handed over by Kronos, and the sprout that was constantly changing in Anivia's hand, and nodded.

"You guessed correctly. The situation has changed a little..."

Then, Abes shared with the two the information he had interrogated from the lizard population.

"Are there more troops than we thought?" Kronos muttered to himself.

If they had known that the military force was so huge, how could they have dared to target this place and take action when there were only dozens of combatants at the time?

We were very lucky that we were not attacked by the entire enemy army and were defeated in one go.

In addition, when Abes was explaining his method of cutting off the water, he also noticed Anivia's expression.

It is said that druids are a profession that values ​​nature above all else and cuts off the flow of natural streams. It would be bad if such a plan made the other party dissatisfied or even harbored a grudge.

Perhaps sensing Abeth's gaze, the blond half-elf stood up abruptly, and the double helix on his head trembled violently. "Don't worry, not all druids are as narrow-minded naturalists as the secular world thinks."

"It's just blocking a small stream, it won't affect the flow of nature much."

"It's great that we can reach a consensus." Abes nodded and continued talking about his basic arrangements.

The first part is to cut off the water source.

"I plan to pull out a group of people from the logistics team as laborers, hand them over to the security team to manage, and send them to the source of the stream to cut off the water source."

The final fatal blow was delivered by the scout group, whose members were reorganized into cavalry.

"All members of the scout team need to be on standby until the moment comes when the enemy leaves the camp and searches for water."

"Considering the Lizardmen's tolerance for water, the time may vary from five days to one or two weeks."

"But now that we have the help of the druid, we can make the wheat seeds grow quickly. It should be no problem to provide food for this period of time."

"This is the basic arrangement. Do you have any additions or better methods?"

After saying this, Abes looked at the two of them and motioned for them to speak.

Kronos nodded with satisfaction. In the eyes of this clever little girl, the water-cutting method was the best choice.

As long as the food problem is solved, the most reliable way of fighting is to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, lure out the enemy and then use the cavalry to finish them off.

Fighting a protracted war is absolutely the right choice for them as long as they have a bottom line.

However, the blond half-elf yawned lazily. "It's a good idea, but it doesn't take into account the effect of magic. Why do we have to wait for the enemy to get thirsty naturally? It only takes a week or two. Do you have time?"

"Hmm?" Abes looked at Anivia with some confusion. "Didn't we choose to continue waiting because you showed us the power to make plants grow quickly?"

"It can make plants grow quickly. In addition to being used on crop seeds, it can also be used on some more magical plants..." Anivia lifted the curtain of the tent to let in the sunlight from outside.

"Or have you been in there for too long and your mind is not clear?" Following the direction indicated by the blond half-elf, Kronos saw that it was a large bunch of smoking cattails that could be seen everywhere in the North.

It was not until this time that the knowledge of these magical plants unique to the fantasy world slowly entered Abes' mind following the other party's explanation.

----------

Abes led a scout group of cavalry, hiding in the wilderness.

The night is desolate, but the dryness in the air can be felt from a distance.

Until this time, Abes was still reviewing the plant knowledge that Anivia had instilled in him at noon.

No, maybe it should be called magical botany, or potions.

Smoking Cattail, a magical plant unique to the North.

Its appearance is similar to that of cattail, except that the "sausage"-shaped cattail stem becomes a hollow structure like macaroni. When mature, this hollow rod-shaped structure will continuously emit burnt and bitter smoke.

Hence the name Tengyan Xiangpu.

Such an effect is obviously the influence of sedimentation. Only in the hell and abyss filled with blood and magma can plants evolve into smoking shapes.

The Tengyan Rod, a product of Tengyan Cattail, can be used in the making of many potions. This is a point of knowledge that many people know.

But what is relatively rare is that if a large number of Smoking Cattails grow into mature clusters, they will produce a suppressive level of magical effect.

As long as the amount of Smoky Cattail in a unit area exceeds a certain delicate balance point, the [Curse of Dryness] will quickly come.

"Everyone in the effect will feel extremely thirsty, but the water in the effect will disappear at a faster rate. Digging wells or waiting for condensation due to the temperature difference between day and night is not possible."

"With this effect, if you also cut off the water source, I think it won't take half a day for them to come out and look for water."

These were Anivia's words at that time.

After that, Anivia collected enough Smoking Cattails, and then, facing the wind, she threw all the seeds with her magic power towards the supply camp.

After receiving the other party's promise, Abes immediately ordered Kronos to take some people from the security team and select some people from the logistics team to work as laborers, and to take shovels and go to cut off the water source.

The dozen shovels and other tools in the truck that were pulled out from the Lizardman's supply point finally came in handy.

He himself brought his wolf cavalry to the wilderness and prepared to attack.

Although the Lizardmen have not come out to look for water yet, the dry desert-like "wind" in the air has already filled Abes' mouth and nose.

I guess we won't have to wait too long.

"Druid, you are not kidding. You can really kill people just by farming..."
