Chapter 1228 32. The Battle in the Spider Camp
When the horn of attack sounded, the barbarian slaves hiding in the dense forest quickly approached the white spider camp from the dense forest. The spider warriors in the spider camp were still in the dark, and they didn't realize that there was a huge The pocket wrapped the entire spider camp in it and closed it quickly, not realizing what kind of doom the spiders in the camp would face after half of the spider warriors left with the spider warlord.

This spider camp is like a white ribbon flying in the wind in the vast sea of ​​trees, surrounding the edge of the dense forest in the northern area of ​​Green Valley. According to Elder Singer, there are four such spider camps in total, as if they are going to cover the entire green valley. The valley surrounded it, completely isolating this dense forest from the entire Black Forest.

The width of the camp is less than one kilometer, but the camp stretches for several kilometers long. The lush trees in the camp withered and withered under the cover of white spider silk, and those white spider silks were wrapped around the branches of the big trees like a green gauze. , Weaving a spider nest in the camp, these spider nests with a height of more than four meters rely on the trunk of the dead tree as a supporting structure, like white tents.

Countless giant spiders are busy around the campsite. They need to spin silk continuously to wrap giant pine trees, weave white grave-like spider nests under the giant pine trees, and they also need to inject spiders' nests into the trunk of the pine trees. The venom makes these trees die slowly, thus forming a slow expansion.

The branches of the dead trees in the camp are covered with white silk cocoons, arranged closely in rows. These are the Hierro natives who came back from hunting by the giant spiders from the indigenous tribes around the green valley. The giant spiders They were made into silk cocoons, hung on horizontal branches, and the natives inside were slowly corrupted into a sour and smelly nutrient solution with venom. On the tree, it looks a little tingling.

Thousands of spider warriors and more than [-] giant spiders are stationed in this spider camp, and now after the spider warlord guarding the spider camp was lured away by Le Die, a large group of spider warriors also followed the spider warlord Run to the pillar mountain in the distance.

At the same time, hundreds of giant spiders ran out from the spider camp and searched for the spidermen in the dense forest. The black iron spears and the butcher's ax thrown out by the warriors.

It was under such circumstances that I ordered Justus and Kalanzo to launch an attack on the spider camp.

The barbarian slaves were covered in black iron armor from top to bottom, and wore black iron helmets on their heads that covered half of their faces. The average height of these barbarian slaves could reach more than three meters. Even with such a physical advantage, Those heavy crossbows remade from bed crossbows still look very clumsy.

Since the arm span of the ordinary standard bed crossbow in the empire exceeds five meters, the entire bow arm is made of seven steel plates bound together, and the main body of the crossbow is made of iron wood, including the mechanism, front sight attachment, grip, and tripod A bed crossbow weighs at least four to five hundred catties.These problems have been taken into consideration when the heavy crossbow was rebuilt. The female dwarf craftsmen removed the self-winding bevel gear mechanism, rudder handle, and pitch bracket, but the whole bed crossbow was still very heavy.

When fighting, the barbarian slaves must always hold the crossbow with both arms. After shooting a crossbow, they need to free up one hand. With their strong arm strength, they use the iron wrench to pull the bowstring apart and put the giant crossbow into the arrow slot. , if you want to pull the bowstring of the bed crossbow, you need at least five heavy armored infantry soldiers from the Grimm Empire to pull it together.

For the barbarian slaves, usually they pulled the bowstring of the heavy crossbow five times in a row, and their arms would become numb.

At this time, they need to take a break. If they forcefully continue to pull the bowstring, there is a high chance that the barbarian slave's arm will be strained.

Every barbarian slave carries a bundle of giant crossbow bolts on his back. These giant crossbow bolts are almost the same as ordinary standard spears, except that each spear tip is engraved with complicated magic runes. The huge crossbow bolts on the back of the human slave were all expensive double magic rune bolts. Seeing the faint magic light emanating from the sharp tip of the grass, the second-rank powerhouse squinted his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

He confessed to me that this kind of giant crossbow bolt with 'sharpness' and 'armour-piercing' is also a deadly threat to a level two constructed knight like him.

"Jijia, have you considered what will happen if you lose a certain battle?" Earl Rez rode on the horse, walking side by side with me, he asked me like this.

After these days of getting along, we have become acquainted. When Earl Rez and I chatted, we no longer called each other's titles.

Since the barbarian slaves are at the forefront, the orc warriors and the constructed knights of the personal guard team are in the back. Once the spider warriors are found to flee or report to the direction of the spider warlord, the orc warriors and the constructed knights will be the first Time to intercept the sniper.

Justus, Kalantso, Tauren Luka and Katerina are all on the front battlefield. Because my ice magic can block the fleeing spider warriors, and the magic buff effect of the stone drum totem is more effective for orc warriors. Therefore, Yingli and I followed behind the barbarian slave team.

Earl Rez and Jason Cavaliers also chose to stay with Yingli with the entire Cavaliers team at this time, in case of any accidents.

I am wearing a set of 'Wrath of the Earth' magic pattern structure, and I wear the epic magic weapon 'Crystal Dagger of Extreme Cold' on my belt.

I rode a Gu Bolai horse, and said to Earl Rez: "If you lose, you have to find a way to preserve your strength as much as possible in the defeat. What else can I do?"

Earl Rez pondered for a while, and asked me again: "How much gold coins are each worth for the giant crossbow bolts carried by those barbarian slaves?"

This time I attacked the spider camp, all the barbarian slaves I distributed were double-attribute giant crossbow bolts, so I replied: "Each crossbow bolt is worth two gold coins plus fifty silver coins."

Earl Rez sighed, and said to me: "In this battle, every two giant crossbow bolts shot by those barbarian warriors is equivalent to throwing out a magic spar. Get up!"

Then he said: "Have you ever thought that if you can't win the battle and you can't take back those giant crossbow arrows, you will be throwing a huge sum of money on the battlefield for nothing? How many battles can you afford to lose?"

Earl Rez didn't wait for my answer, and said to me again: "Even if the spider warlord leads half of the spider warriors out of the camp, but I estimate that there are still no less than [-] spiders in this spider camp." Human warriors and tens of thousands of giant spiders, what are you going to do if the spider warriors persist until the moment when the spider warlord returns with an army?"

"If that's the case, I will decisively withdraw to the dense forest of Green Valley." I turned my head and glanced at Earl Rez. Or, I admire Earl Rez's rigorous attitude towards each battle.

I think maybe because the two princesses Ying Li and Le Die joined in this battle, he will be walking on eggshells!

I said to him: "Don't worry! As long as we have the help of the ancient war tree and the dryads, those spider warriors will not easily catch up with us. Even if the situation develops like that in the end, I will be sure to escape back to a safe place. "

Earl Rez frowned and asked me: "What about the magic crossbow arrows that were shot out? How are you going to get them back?"

"Wait until the next battle, just win it back!" I said nonchalantly.

Then he added: "But don't worry! Since I have already used the magic crossbow, then this battle is not easy to lose."

When I was talking to Earl Rez, the barbarian slaves had already emerged from the dense forest, facing the poisonous spiders that were constantly injecting venom into the giant pine at the edge of the camp and the giant spiders that kept spitting out white webs. Shooting, the insect armor on the giant spiders is far less tough than the spider warriors. To deal with these giant spiders, only a single-attribute 'piercing' crossbow bolt is enough.

The trembling sound of the crossbow bolts leaving the strings has not stopped yet, those giant crossbow bolts that are almost three meters long have already pierced the bodies of the unsuspecting giant spiders with the sound of piercing through the air, and the giant spiders applauded like balls The black and purple spider blood mixed with white spider silk liquid and light green nutrient solution exploded in an instant. The huge body of the giant spider shriveled up like a deflated leather ball. With trembling legs and curled up, belly upturned, the injured giant spider let out a shrill neigh, and rushed towards the dense forest in a rage.

Those crossbow arrows passed through the body of the first giant spider, with a strong smell of blood, and then pierced into the body of the giant spider behind. Some of the crossbow arrows hit the trunks of dead trees, and those dead trees also shattered. .

Just the first round of firing shot down a large area of ​​the giant spiders outside the spider camp.

Under Justus' command, the barbarian slave standing in the front row took a step back unaccustomedly, and took advantage of the opportunity to re-draw the bowstring.

The barbarian slaves in the second row walked to the front with their bed crossbows in hand, and launched a new round of shooting at the messy giant spiders at the edge of the spider camp. The giant spiders at the edge of the camp were so dense that it was almost unnecessary to aim carefully. , as long as you don't shoot high, you can hunt and kill giant spiders.

The barbarian slaves have almost been eating giant spiders for more than a month. Faced with the fury of these giant spiders, they immediately counterattacked without fear, and shot the giant crossbow arrows in their hands in an orderly manner. Just shot those giant spiders that were culled and turned them on their backs again.

As long as there is no dead wood blocking it, a giant crossbow can penetrate at least four or five giant spiders. Faced with the power of a heavy crossbow, Earl Rez was dumbfounded and couldn't help asking me: "Your noble lords in the north Don't you guys have a private army of barbarian slaves?"

"We northerners and barbarians are mortal enemies. There is an unwritten rule on the battlefield in the northern border. When encountering barbarians, we must kill and cut off their left ears immediately." I said to Earl Rez: "Because I'm not a pure northerner, so I didn't implement this unwritten rule!"

The barbarian slaves rushed into the camp, stepping on the corpse of a giant spider on the edge of the spider camp.

At this time, the spider warriors resting in the spider lair of the camp came out one after another, just like the rain falling from the sky gathered into a stream, and the spider warriors drilled out of the spider lair gathered into a torrent. The fearless spiderman warrior held the moonblade axe and rushed towards the barbarian slave facing the giant crossbow.

"Replace the dual-attribute crossbow!" Justus shouted in the team. Although the voice of this siren descendant was not loud, it had an inexplicable penetrating power, as if it had some kind of magical power attached to it. On the battlefield where the roar and the cry of killing were heard, every barbarian slave could hear it.

"The first row of barbarians are in their positions...ready...to shoot arrows!"

The giant crossbow bolts were like death scythes one after another, shooting down the rushing spider warriors one after another like cutting leeks, and the spider warriors behind had to step on the corpses of their companions to the barbarian Charged and killed in the slave camp.

These spider warriors had experienced many battles. They probably thought that as long as they rushed in front of the barbarian slaves, they could easily knock down these barbarian slaves in black armor. That's why they rushed forward without hesitation.

It's a pity that they didn't expect the giant magic crossbow to be so terrifying, especially in the spider camp full of dead forests, the spider warriors had to bypass the dead trees that hindered their footsteps in order to keep rushing forward, so the barbarian slaves only needed to Shooting the crossbow arrows at the gap between the dead trees can often shoot the two spider warriors right through each other.

As the spider warriors charged so desperately, there would naturally be some who slipped through the net and rushed to the front of the barbarian slave camp. Although the number was small, they disrupted the barbarian slave camp.At this time, a double-edged sword fell from mid-air, splitting a giant spider in half, and then Kalancuo's figure also jumped down from above, holding the double-edged sword in his hand, and pulled it from the ground. Come out and hold the Moonblade Ax that was struck by a spider warrior.

Katerina followed closely behind, her figure suddenly became very blurred, and she had already flashed behind the spider warrior in a flash. The spider warrior was wrestling with Kalancuo with the Moonblade Ax in both hands, and couldn't stop it at all. Katerina, I saw Katerina put one hand on the top of the spider warrior's head, and with the other hand, she held a recurved blade and wiped the spider warrior's neck forcefully, and a black head was taken by Carter. Linna is holding it in her hand...

The spider warrior rushing up from behind was holding a black iron spear, trying to pick Katerina off his companion, but unexpectedly missed.

A tauren warrior wrapped in heavy iron armor bumped into the spider warrior, knocking the spider warrior back more than ten steps in a row, and hit the companion behind him. At this time, another row of The giant crossbow fired a volley, and the two spider warriors who collided were pierced by a giant crossbow.

The number of giant spiders in this spider camp is quite large. At this time, those giant spiders are covering up and killing us. They are everywhere on the canopy, on the ground, and on the trunk...
