my age of magic

Chapter 1360 164. On the Eve of the Counterattack
Before I became a first-rank intermediate magician, every time I cast ice blast to detonate the ice wall array, the mana in the magic pool in my body would be drained in an instant.

At that time, I will have a certain period of weakness. Although the magic power will be replenished quickly through meditation, the magic power remaining in the body nodes will not make me suffer from the pain of magic backlash, but after the period of weakness, I It is difficult to cast any magic in a short time.

I looked down at the gradually calming 'tide of mana' under my feet, and felt that when Ice Explosion was cast just now, a huge vortex of magic power was instantly formed in the magic pattern circle, and the surging tide of magic power continuously flowed into the vortex. The ice wall burst in an instant, and at this moment, I seemed to stay out of it, and the magic pool that kept stirring was in a state of fullness.

Until thousands of constructed knights poured into the ice and snow ruins and began to chop off the heads of the spider warriors inside the ice formation one after another. The entire army of the human army was destroyed, and the follow-up spider warriors still rushed from the woodland behind, strangled with the constructed knights in the fringe area, and quickly killed the spider warriors who came from behind.

The Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion have been fighting barbarians in the north all year round. They are not afraid of burly warriors like spidermen. They know how to block the attacks of spiderman warriors with skill, but this kind of fighting consumes a lot of energy. Quickly, after each charge, the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion will take a short break between battles, so that the Constructed Knights and their horses can recover their strength as soon as possible.

The group of spider warriors who were repulsed by the costume knights left the corpses of their companions all over the ground, and fled back to the spider camp in a hurry.

……

Back then, in order to be able to surround the Bridge of Sunfury, the spiderman army built several spider camps in the forest outside the Bridge of Sunfury. Inside the spider camps were nests made of white spider webs everywhere, hanging from dead trees. It was full of all kinds of white silk cocoons, and even some silk cocoons were still wriggling and struggling feebly.

The native warriors captured by the giant spiders were basically wound into silk cocoons and became food reserves for the Spiderman Legion.

As the number of native warriors gathered near the Sunfury Bridge continued to increase, the number of these silk cocoons hanging on the dead trees also continued to increase.

The indigenous warriors on the periphery could see the fierce battle on the Bridge of Sunfury, and worried that the Nibru spiders would take over the sacred land of the ancient tree tribe, so they kept attacking the defense line formed by the spider warriors outside the Bridge of Sunfury. , Basically, if you rush up, you will rarely come back alive.

That line of defense is like a monster with its bloody mouth open, waiting for these passionate native warriors to throw themselves into the net.

Earl Desmond's and I's warnings were effective after all, and the constructed knights chased and stopped 500 meters outside the spider camp.

They didn't get close to the spider camp in a feverish state. The camp was not only heavily guarded, but there were countless giant spiders lurking in the bushes, and the spider warlord might be lurking in the spider camp, so Earl Desmond and I Repeatedly warned the leaders of these Constructed Knights not to get close to the spider camp, our home field is in the woods.

The inside of the spider camp is a dead tree, and the whole place is covered with a layer of spider webs. I can't get any useful information about the spider camp from the dryad's spiritual web. I can only ask Deborah to detect the spiders from the sky. The situation in the camp, the news that Deborah brought back did not surprise me. Every spider camp has a spider warlord, and there is more than one.

……

On this battlefield in the forest area, five thousand constructed knights took the initiative in the battle with their horses.

I know that the spidermen have assembled a large number of warriors in the camp, and they want the woodland in front of the spider camp to become the main battlefield, because the tree spirits here have been completely cleared by the spidermen.

But the spiders have not been able to do so.

Our knights will not fight with the spider warriors in front of the spider camp. Even if the spider warrior team wants to go around and stop the construction knights, they will be discovered by the construction knights early.

If there were only a few hundred spider warriors in the spiderman squad, they would be attacked by the constructed knights from two directions, and would be swallowed by the constructed knights in one gulp.

If the number is large, the Construct Knights will lure them into the forest area where they set up an ambush. Few spider warriors can withstand a round of barbarian slave heavy crossbow fire.

In this forest area, the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion and the Spider Warriors started a tug-of-war. The Nibru Spiders had already occupied more than half of the Bridge of Sunfury. Of course they didn't want to give up. Moreover, although the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion had a certain advantage in several confrontations, they have yet to cause any impact on the camp and defense line of the Nibru Spiderman.

……

The top brass of the Spider Legion felt that this battle could still be fought, so they dispatched nearly [-] of the most elite spider fighters. In addition, this group of spider fighters was led by a six-armed spider warlord, and there were ten ordinary spider fighters. The spider warlord is his deputy, and each spider warlord leads thousands of elite spider warriors. This spider army keeps a close eye on our construction knight on the battlefield.

After we were targeted by these spidermen, there were finally casualties in another battle in the Constructed Knights. Even though we had barbarian slave heavy crossbowmen and dryads, facing the spears thrown by the spider warriors, It is still necessary for the constructed knights to find a way to deal with it on the battlefield.

The only thing I can do is to add a layer of 'petrified skin' to the constructed knights within a few dozen yards, or give the constructed knights an ice shield within sight.

The black iron spears thrown by the spider warriors are still very lethal. Not every time my ice wall can block them. Although this forest greatly restricts the spider warriors from throwing spears, those long spears As long as the black iron spear, which is almost four meters high, has great destructive power as long as it flies into the sky, whether it is a tree or a constructed knight.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Spiderman Legion's logistics are not very strong, and the black iron spears cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities. Each spiderman warrior only has one black iron spear in his hand, and they throw out the black iron spear in their hands. From now on, the only weapon left in his hand is the Moonblade Axe.

There are more and more injured constructed knights. The hemostatic bandage can only treat minor injuries simply, and the slightly more serious ones need to use healing potions. However, in the current Grimm Empire, even a bottle of primary healing potions is very expensive. , so unless they are forced to do so, the constructed knights will not use these first aid potions without authorization.

At this time, my 'hydrotherapy' is effective on the battlefield. Hydrotherapy can promote the healing of wounds. Although using hydrotherapy will make the wounded suffer more pain in a short time, the healing speed visible to the naked eye is still Let the knights who are constructed are very willing to accept the treatment of 'hydrotherapy'.

……

It still surprised me that the leader of the Gilda tribe withdrew more than a thousand indigenous warriors from the battlefield.

Back then, when they got hotheaded, they directly attacked the spiderman warrior's line of defense with those native fighters. At that time, I thought it was very likely that all [-] native fighters would be handed over to that battlefield.

But the aboriginal leader proved with his actions that he returned alive from that battlefield with more than a thousand aboriginal fighters.

The native warriors who came back alive were all injured. The leather armor and mail vests on their bodies could block the tentacles of the giant spiders, but they couldn't block the black iron spears of the spider warriors.

The dead aboriginal warriors were dragged back by the spiders and made into white silk cocoons and hung on dead branches.

The indigenous leader sat under a big tree and wailed loudly. He buried the last strength of the Gilda tribe on the Bridge of Sunfury. These indigenous warriors should have died more valuablely, but now, there is nothing What's the use of the remaining indigenous people standing together?

Scholar Sean gave me two skill books of level [-] magic, one is level [-] ice magic 'Ice Spike', unfortunately, I almost never have half of the blunt spells in this book I've seen it, and I haven't seen Heidi's instructor use this ice magic in my memory. I think I'd like to ask Scholar Sean for advice if I have the chance.The other one is the third-level water magic 'Rain of Healing'. You can tell from the name that it is a group healing magic skill book, and it is the exclusive skill of water magicians.

In fact, this also explains why water magicians have always been known as magicians who are good at auxiliary types. This book is the best proof.

Before this, the magic book of 'Rain of Healing' had been covered by the healing halo of holy prayers possessed by the priests in the temple. Many people didn't even know that the water mages had 'Rain of Healing' This kind of group healing magic.

Scholar Xiao En gave me this magic book, and I will study it when I have time recently, but the success rate of casting spells is still not very good.

What's worse is that once the 'Healing Rain' is used, the healed person will experience the pain caused by hydrotherapy regardless of whether the spell is cast successfully or not. This is the main reason why I didn't use Healing Rain to heal the Constructed Knights , These unnecessary pains are really unbearable.

Looking at more than a thousand wounded native warriors, I felt that if I treated them one by one with a therapist, I would not have the energy left to do anything else.

For this group of native warriors who actively seek death, even a hemostatic bandage is a luxury for them.

So I asked the native leader to gather these wounded native warriors together and let them line up in a phalanx of hundreds of people, and then I started to cast the 'healing rain' that I had just learned not long ago on these native warriors.

'fail……'

'fail……'

'fail……'

'success! '

'fail……'

Amidst the wailing voices of the native warriors, my 'Healing Rain' magic skills were extremely jerky from the beginning, and then became more and more proficient, until there were few mistakes later, well, I have to admit it all All summed up in the pain of the blood and tears of the indigenous warriors of Yero.

Afterwards, this group of indigenous warriors showed even more "respect" to me. The way they looked at me always felt like they were looking at a demon.

Rubbing my slightly red ears, I walked out of the temporary camp of the indigenous soldiers.

It is said that if people curse too much behind their backs, their ears will become hot and red.

Walking out of the aborigines temporary camp, I happened to see some elite spider warriors running around in the woodland ahead, and a group of constructed knights were dealing with them in the dense forest. I felt a little irritated for no reason, so I sent Justus Called over, pointed to the spiderman warrior squad and said to him: "You take some barbarian slaves and go to the front to kill that spiderman squad. They are wandering around in the woods and annoy me."

The Siren Descendant looked at me seriously for a long time, confirming that I was really not crazy, and just simply issued a combat mission, Justus led a team of barbarian slaves to the battlefield, and the Siren Descendant led a team of barbarian slaves. After the human slave shot and killed more than a dozen spider-man warriors, the battlefield calmed down again.

Cleaning the battlefield every time and collecting the spoils has almost become a routine after the battle.

But the battle situation is at a stalemate like this. The Spiderman Legion has almost occupied the entire Sunfury Bridge. Kalancuo and the orc warriors are guarding the bridgehead on the side of the Thorn Crater. A knight retinue with a standard military crossbow, sometimes the spider warriors attack too fiercely, and the orcs of the fire-breathing team will calm them down.

In this way, the Bridge of Sunfury has not been completely occupied by the spiders.

And the battle on our side was also at a stalemate. Earl Desmond felt that the Constructed Knights should try to attack the Spiderman Legion's line of defense, but I rejected this rash idea.

The turning point of the battle actually came from these Yero native fighters. The leader of the Gilda tribe suddenly realized that the native fighters gathered from all directions were so unorganized, disciplined and without a battle plan. They would launch an attack spontaneously. This kind of spontaneous attack had no impact on the defense line formed by the spider warriors. On the contrary, it was like delivering food, a large number of indigenous warriors sent their lives away.

Then the leader of the Gilda tribe began to try to organize the indigenous warriors gathered from all directions, and then formulate some simpler combat plans, at least not to let these indigenous warriors die in vain.

I don't have enough infantry equipment for the time being to arm these indigenous fighters, so I can only think of some other ways.

In the end, Katerina's words reminded me.

At that time, she was standing beside me, looking at the group of aboriginal warriors who worked so hard to break through the blockade of spider warriors and rushed to the Bridge of Sunfury to die, she said that although these aboriginals were not outstanding fighters, they were a good group The carpenters, the makeshift log cabins at the camp are great!
Hearing what Katerina said gave me some inspiration, so I took the time to return to Xinliu Valley and searched for a long time in the secret room full of Hextech blueprints. A design drawing about a catapult recorded in the era of goblins. The most important thing is that among the more than ten manufacturing methods on this catapult drawing, one kind of catapult is made of wood...
