my age of magic

Chapter 1305 109. Return to the Imperial Capital
This aboriginal village covered in white spider webs is located in the southern area of ​​Green Valley Forest, about [-] kilometers away from the southern spider camp.

The entire village has been completely occupied by spider warriors, and a large number of giant spiders are entrenched here, initially forming a stronghold of spider warriors.

Kalancuo led the orc warriors to occupy this indigenous village full of white terror in just half a day. Katerina and I walked under a giant tree in the center of the indigenous village. The giant trees with big umbrellas were still all withered, and the withered and yellow leaves fell to the ground one after another. Many leaves were stained on the white spider webs, like yellow flower decorations dotted on the white gauze.

The whole village is full of depression and dead silence, and almost all the tree houses in the village are dead.

After the leaves fall, you can see the gray sky above your head when you stick it on the open space, and electric snakes are scurrying back and forth from time to time in the tumbling clouds.

This giant tree was originally a tree spirit that guarded the village. After the village was occupied by Nebulu spidermen, the giant tree was wrapped in thick white silk. Now only a few green leaves can be seen on the top of the tree. I can feel that the life of this tree spirit is dissipating little by little.

It looked very painful, and was withering a little bit, the poison of the giant spider had already filled its body.

Hundreds of white silk cocoons are hung on the branches of this giant tree. Many of the human chrysalis wrapped in these cocoons are still alive. Painful groans.

Kalancuo rushed into the village with orc warriors, and the giant spiders and spider warriors in the village rose up to resist. In the end, only a few spider warriors escaped from the indigenous village, and the corpses of many giant spiders fell in the village forest. In the open space, there are still some giant spiders that were shot to death by giant crossbow arrows hanging on the branches of some dead trees, and some giant spiders simply died in the spider nests.

Probably those giant spiders had not had time to infuse the aboriginals inside these silk cocoons with sour poison, before our orc warriors captured the village, and the spider warriors died or fled.

The giant spiders in the village are not so lucky, because the barbarian slaves are hungry, they want roasted spider legs, and they need enough giant spider legs.

So that after these barbarian slaves rushed into the village, their hunting targets were all those giant spiders that were fleeing in a hurry. These natives chosen by the god of death were lucky to survive.

The orc warriors cut off the spider silk hanging from the human chrysalis, and the white silk cocoon fell from the giant tree to the ground. The orc warriors cut open the silk cocoon with a knife and peeled off a layer of mucous membrane inside. panting.

Although the silk cocoon is not a closed space, the thick spider silk makes these natives feel particularly depressed. When they were rescued from the silk cocoon, they all rubbed their throats retching and panting violently. They struggled to get out of the cocoon. Si Cocoon, seeing the village covered in white spider silk, sat on the ground in despair.

Although the orc warriors rescued hundreds of natives, these natives are still full of wariness towards us.

In order to be able to communicate with the natives in the southern part of the dense forest, Puyaka came from Xinliu Valley.

After hearing the explanation of the indigenous girl Puyaka, these indigenous survivors finally chose to believe us.

They didn't stay in this abandoned village, but wanted to go to the dense forest to find other survivors of their tribe. When the aboriginal village was captured by the spiders, half of the aboriginals in the village escaped.

These indigenous survivors will go south to find the surviving people in their tribe. I suggest that they find the tribe and take the people in the tribe to migrate to the north of the green valley jungle.

Before these natives left, I gave each of these natives a bag of wheatbread and a spear.

Seeing these aborigines leave, I saw that the whole village was almost turned into a dead place, with large tracts of white spider silk covering the dead trees, those spider nests looked a bit disgusting, and the aboriginal girl Puyaka had a gloomy expression on her face. , sitting on the root of the giant tree in the center of the village, quietly in a daze.

Katerina and I sat down next to her, she turned her head and glanced at me, then she cast her eyes on the thick tree trunk that was about to die, and said: "We will be able to drive these spiders out of the forest, yes Bar?"

"That's right, as long as we all unite, we will be able to drive the Spider-Man out of Hierro." I put my hand on the back of her neck and stroked it gently. She squinted her eyes, breathed lightly, and was gentle. Be like a cat.

She was wearing a sleeveless low-cut suspender dress, and her waxy skin reflected a healthy glow.

I ask her:
"Are you worried about your family?"

She nodded slightly, and immediately seemed to remember something, shook her head vigorously, and whispered to me: "The elders of the tribe sent me and Connie to you. Wherever you are, we are here." s home."

Her long hair has become very smooth without using gum, and it looks as rich as satin.

I smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, I don't care about that."

Katerina sat on the other side of me, hitting a magic core with the back of the heavy curved knife.

Every black magic crystal has a hard outer shell, and if you want to get the magic spar, you have to peel off this hard shell.

I said to Pujaka: "My home is in El City, the northernmost part of the Grimm Empire. Sometimes I think of my family, Leonte, Fanny, Tracy, Nancy, Cindy, winter holidays At that time, I even deliberately ran back to El City to attend Tracy's wedding..."

Pujaka, an indigenous girl, also seemed to be very talkative, and she began to tell me about the life of indigenous people living in tree houses.

……

Kalantso promised the barbarian slaves, and after capturing the aboriginal village, he allowed them to have a delicious meal.

For a barbarian slave, there's nothing more tender and delicious than a grilled spider leg.

The barbarians felled a few dead trees with a moonblade ax in the village and cleared a large open space.

When they were chopping firewood, they worked far harder than chopping spider warriors on the battlefield. A bonfire was lit in the open space, and hundreds of spider legs of giant spiders were placed on the wooden barbecue grill.

In addition, there are special female half-orcs who are responsible for the barbecue. They use the orc tribe's barbecue method to specially spread a layer of suet on the surface of the spider legs. Under the charcoal fire, the suet is baked until it makes a "squeak" sound. , seep into the cracked spider legs along the cracks, and the female half-orc will sprinkle some salt on the spider legs.

This kind of delicacy has never been enjoyed by barbarian slaves, and their barbecue has never been so particular. A group of barbarian slaves sat beside the bonfire, as well-behaved as a group of children, roasting spider legs in front of the charcoal fire. The same bang, swallowing saliva non-stop.

When Kalancuo walked out of the tent, her hair was still wet. After a battle, if conditions allowed, she would wash off the blood stains on her body as soon as possible. She thought that the blood of the spider man would make her wheat-colored skin pale. I don't expect the female beast warrior to study skin care. I think she should have a good chat with Alia.

Behind Kalanzo was Deborah, whose feathers were also wet.

The harpy lives in the eagle's nest on the top of the cliff, and it's okay not to take a bath all year round, so Deborah doesn't like to take a bath.

Deborah is always helpless about Kalancuo's semi-forced invitations.

She walked out of the tent dejectedly, trying to dry off the water stains on her wings. She kept flapping her wings and splashed the faces of the passing orc warriors. The orc warriors wiped the water stains on their faces in a daze. At the time, Deborah had already walked past him proudly with her small face raised.

Deborah walked to the bonfire and carefully dried the white wings. The female half-orc who was in charge of the barbecue next to her knocked off a piece of roasted spider leg and handed it to her. Her spider legs, which were thicker than her thighs, walked under the giant tree, sat on a protruding tree root, and while blowing violently, she peeled off the scorched black hard shell on the spider legs.

Unexpectedly, Deborah's taste was similar to those of these barbarian slaves.

Kalancuo walked up to me and said to me, "Aren't you going to taste a piece?"

I knew she was talking about those grilled brown spider legs.

I raised my head and asked her back, "Have you eaten?"

Kalancuo nodded, taking it for granted, and then said: "The taste is not bad. They say it tastes like Gazelle, but I think it's more like a seafood barbecue feast in the Vashki plane."

"..."

What Kalancuo said made me feel a little speechless. I think it is better not to eat seafood for the time being.

I rubbed my chin, wiped off the sweat from my face, and said to Kalancuo: "I'm going back to the imperial capital, I have to ask for a long vacation from the Academy of Magic, otherwise I may not be able to pass the final exam this semester." .”

Kalancuo thought for a while, and said to me: "You don't have to stay with us all the time, just come and have a look at it occasionally at night, and it is enough to provide us with sufficient supplies. I will take everyone in this woodland. Dealing with them here, as long as the luck is not so bad, with Deborah's help, there should be no problem."

She spoke these words with confidence, and I knew where her confidence came from: strong fighters, good equipment, and a group of allies who could control the forest.

But my judgment on the future situation on the battlefield is not so optimistic. Right now, the Nibru spiders haven't set their sights on us.

Katerina helped me unfold the map, and I charcoaled a narrow area in the southern part of the Green Valley Forest.

I said to Kalanzo: "Once the spider warlords on the front line withdraw, we will be flanked by the spider army. At that time, there will be less space for us to move around. All the dryads in this dense forest may We will all be poisoned by giant spiders, and without the help of the dryads, we don't have much advantage in fighting the spider warriors in this dense forest."

Seeing that Kalancuo was silent, I continued: "You guys should wait for me here, I will return soon."

Kalantso stood in front of me, turned his head to look at the barbarian slaves who were happily eating a barbecue feast, and said with a serious face: "We don't know how many Nebru spiders are left in the southern part of the Black Forest. How long will this plane war last, one month, two months, or half a year? Can you still stay in the Yero plane and fight with us? What about your life in the imperial capital?"

"You have to get over the current difficulties, and then think about what to do in the future." I stretched my waist, and before the dryad died completely, I entered the spiritual world of the dryads through him, and didn't care about it. Those spider warrior squads, the spider warlord closest to us, would take half a day to get here.

I suddenly had a little idea, always avoiding the spider warlord and a large number of spider warrior troops like this, so why don't you think of a way to strengthen your own troops.

These barbarian slaves seem to enjoy such a life of war. There are five or six hundred barbarian slaves undergoing labor reform at the quarry in Xinliu Valley. Not bad!

In addition, the population of the orc village has increased to more than 1000. Whether it is the female half-orc slaves or the orcs gathered in the northern border, they can all be developed into reserves, and perhaps the team can be expanded.

Now that I've thought of this, I'm going to say these thoughts.

I said to Kalancuo: "Otherwise, I will also transfer the 800 barbarian slaves from the quarry, and I will go to the imperial capital to purchase [-] sets of Nacoma black iron armor. We also bought a batch before." The bed crossbows are going to be installed on the walls of the small town of Trume, or they can all be taken out and converted into heavy crossbows by the female dwarf craftsman, so that the barbarian slave team will be expanded to [-], and the situation may be better."

Sitting next to me, Katerina frowned slightly, and said to me: "There are less than two hundred bed crossbows lacking bottom support in the town of Trume. If you want to arm four hundred barbarian slaves , at least two hundred bed crossbows are to be prepared, but you have already bought all the bed crossbows in the black market in Tanton City, where else can you buy them?"

I thought about it, the bed crossbow is in the hands of the nobles and lords, and it is really not easy to buy.

But then I thought of Alia's contacts in the imperial capital, so she should be able to help me find the source of goods.

Or I can ask Louis Mensa and Earl Donald, maybe there is a way, so I said to Katerina: "Then go to the imperial capital to buy it, at most the price will be higher."

……

The indigenous girl did not return with me. Puyaka and Koni wanted to stay in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley and live with the indigenous people there for a period of time. I agreed to their request.

Katerina and I walked through the portal and appeared in the bedroom the next second.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Katerina poured herself a glass of golden cider, drank it all in one gulp, and enjoyed a moment of peace.

Just at this time, a maid came in with a cleaning tool in her hand. She had no idea that Katerina and I would stand on the carpet in the room, and she dropped the handles of the twigs in her hand in fright. on the carpet.

"Sorry, master! I didn't know you and Katerina were in the room. I thought there was no one in the room. I'm going to clean up the dust on the carpet!" She hurriedly bowed to me.

These maids were brought over by Ying Li from the Prince's Mansion, and they have received special training.

"It's nothing. Katerina and I just came back. We need to take a shower, change clothes, and go out soon." I said to the maid, "You will come to clean this room in an hour."

"Yes, master." The maid exited the room and closed the door for us by the way.
