Chapter 1372 176. Sick Forest

The terrain in the southern part of the Black Forest is more steep than that in the northern part. There are many mountains in the Black Forest, and there are a lot of miasma and poisonous fog in the low-lying valleys in the forest. Walking in, the rocks among the mountains are intertwined with the mottled trees. If the dryads hadn't opened up a convenient tree-lined road for us, I am afraid that it would be difficult for our cavalry to walk through the dense forest.

Traces of spider warriors can often be seen in the dense forest. Although their large troops have gradually withdrawn to the south of the Black Forest, there are still a large number of spider scout teams in the Black Forest, as well as a large number of people who are entrenched in the Black Forest and do not want to leave. giant spider.

Many spider camps have been completely deserted due to the retreat of the spider people.

Stepping on the soft needle-like wool grass, a group of orc warriors slowly searched down the slope. Not far behind these orc warriors were scattered the corpses of seven or eight spider warriors. Black and purple blood flowed all over the ground, and the air There was a faint smell of blood in the room. The orc warriors held standard crossbows and sneaked in the woodland. The hunter team at the front had already dealt with three spiderman scout teams one after another.

We plan to sneak into the vicinity of this spider camp and let the barbarian slave heavy crossbow group completely seal off the exits on both sides of the valley. Charge on this group of spider warriors.

On the top of the mountain, five thousand constructed knights of the North Wind Legion formed a dense line.

Because he was blocked by the dense forest, he could only feel the strong murderous intent coming from the depths of the dense forest.

Kalantso led more than a hundred orc warriors at the front of the team. The orc warriors in the front row were all the best hunters. They knew how to move forward without being noticed by their prey. They were A group of the most outstanding wasteland wind wolves followed behind Kalancuo, and moved forward little by little. Several scout teams around the spider camp were quietly eliminated by this group of orc warriors.

Thick blood dripped continuously from the sharp axes at their waists. I mixed with Morayal and Koni in this group of orc warriors. The light in the dense forest was dim, and I was worried about opening the four series of stone drum totems. It will wake up the spiders on the opposite side. This way of sneaking quietly, I used hypnotism to continuously make the spider scouts fall asleep, and then the orc warriors touched them quietly, killing the spider scouts in their sleep.

Hypnotism belongs to the category of black magic. Morayal and Koni were worried that my spell would fail and I would be backlashed by black magic, so they insisted on staying by my side.

Eight hundred barbarian slaves were behind the orc team. According to the information provided by the dryads, in the canyon behind the mountains in front, the Nibru spiders built a spider camp, and the Nibru spiders retreated in full force. At the time, the spiders in this camp were still stationed here, so there was this plan to attack the camp.

As the main force of this army, [-] constructed knights and [-] knight retinues of the North Wind Legion were naturally responsible for the main attack mission.

The tauren Luka led four hundred barbarians to guard the exit on this side of the valley.

At this time, a magic light bomb flew out of the dense forest and exploded in the sky in an instant. Needless to say, this was a signal from Justus. They had already controlled the other side of the valley and reached the orc on the edge of the spider camp. The fire-breathing team of soldiers sprayed several flames into the spider camp covered with white spider webs. Suddenly, the flames full of corpse fire oil ignited several dead trees at the edge of the spider camp. The raging flames subsided one after another.

There was a rustling sound in the spider camp, and then a large number of dark-bodied spider warriors rushed out of the camp. They charged through the raging flames to the orc fire-breathing team outside. A large number of tree roots drilled out of the ground were tied up, and several tongues of flames sprayed out, hundreds of spider warriors were completely engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Probably feeling the crisis of the situation, a large group of giant spiders ran out of the camp and fled in all directions.

At this time, the orc warriors ambushing around the spider camp fired rows of crossbows from the dense forest, shooting these giant spiders on their backs. Only the giant spiders facing the gentle slope of the mountain were not killed by the crossbow arrows. ran into the dense forest.

Afterwards, thousands of spider warriors in the spider camp followed and quickly fled towards the dense forest among the mountains. These spider warriors didn't even attempt any form of counterattack, and directly made the decision to break out.

I never thought that this group of spider warriors would be so cowardly, and they were beaten to the ground with just one round of attack. Fortunately, our original layout was a pocket formation.

If this group of spider warriors choose to rush up against the dense crossbow arrows, as long as they don't choose the passages on the left and right sides of the valley, they still have a great chance of escaping. There is no time to arrange them on the side of the orc fire-breathing team. Apart from more than a hundred orcs, there are only me, Katerina, Morayal, and Koni.

We're even ready to use magic to hold back the spider warriors as soon as they charge up.

In fact, this group of spider warriors who had been terrified completely gave up their plan to break out from our direction after seeing the flames spraying out, and they got into the pockets we arranged very cooperatively.

The fire quickly swept through the entire spider camp, and nearly two thousand spider warriors fled upward along the slopes of the mountain. Just as they rushed to a relatively open forest area, a large number of tree roots gushed out from the dense forest, killing all the spiders. The human warriors were all entangled, and the spider warriors hurriedly hacked the tough tree roots emerging from the soil with their sharp axes. It's stuck in place.

Just as the spider warriors were trying to break free from the shackles of the tree people, a majestic charging horn sounded from the top of the mountain, and then there was a rumbling thunder, as if the mountain was about to collapse, the huge sound came from the top of the mountain , The ground between the mountains is trembling.

A group of knights wearing heavy armor rushed down from the mountain. When their figures appeared in the woodland, the spider warriors who broke out from the spider camp looked desperate. They were thinking about breaking out on both sides of the valley. It was discovered that a row of giant crossbow arrows was like a sickle of death, shooting straight through the front spider warriors, while the spider camp behind them quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Some giant spiders were scurrying around the camp in flames as they tried to hide in the camp.

The North Wind Army rushed down from the mountains, and a phantom of a black war horse gradually formed above the knight team. The phantom of this black war horse was extremely tall, directly breaking through the layers of trees. On the battlefield, those spider warriors seemed to be terrified for a moment. Although they put on a defensive posture in time, the sharp knight spears had already pierced into the spider warrior's body fiercely.

The battle only took half a day from start to finish, and almost all the spider warriors in the camp were wiped out.

The knight followers caught up and only had time to collect some loot left on the battlefield. At this time, a group of native warriors ran out from behind the barbarian slaves. They quickly collected those giant crossbow bolts on the battlefield, and as long as the spider warriors were killed by giant If they were killed by crossbow arrows, these indigenous warriors would cut off their heads without hesitation and pick up the weapons around them.

After I promulgated the merit exchange reward list, even the barbarian slaves began to realize the importance of loot.

It is still the natives who clean up the battlefield in the end. They will bury the corpses of the spider warriors under the trees. The constructed knights of the North Wind Legion still adhere to their previous fighting habits. It was the injured spider warriors, even if they couldn't pose any threat to them, they would be killed by these knights.

Barbarian slaves and native warriors don't have this habit, while orc warriors like to capture some spider warrior prisoners, gather them together, take out a slave contract scroll on the spot, and try to capture the spider warrior one by one. Sign a slave contract, and if the spider warrior refuses, someone will cut off his head.

The orc warriors are also very irritable. Once the spider warrior captives refuse one after another, they will kill a few priests without asking, and then knock the heads of those spider warrior captives with the slave contract scroll...

Probably because of the list of merit rewards, on the way to the diseased forest, the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion kept asking me to destroy some small camps of spider warriors around, and accumulate black magic crystals little by little.

Many constructed knights of the North Wind Legion set their sights on some high-level magic weapons. These high-level magic weapons usually cost dozens of magic crystals to buy, but on the merit reward list, they only cost ten to two Ten unidentified black magic crystals can be exchanged.

In normal times, Constructed Knights would not even dare to think about it, but on this battlefield in the southern part of the Black Forest, with the help of the dryads allies, the battle with the Nibru Spider Warriors has become a reality. There is no risk, so the hearts of the construction knights began to come alive. Some lucky construction knights have already accumulated a few black magic crystals in their hands, so their hearts are even more looking forward to the battle with the spider warriors .

When we arrived at the Plaguewood Forest, we experienced more than [-] encirclement and annihilation battles along the way. In the eyes of the construction knights, those spider warriors were simply black magic crystals running. Without any chance of escape, they were all killed by the constructed knights.

It was under such circumstances that our troops reached the Sickwood.

……

The diseased forest and the surrounding black forest seemed so incompatible, and the dark soil looked like black oil stains, which looked so distinct from the soil in the black forest.

It was a forest that was almost completely withered. There were only a few sparse leaves hanging on the tops of the trees. It seemed that these trees would not live long. There seemed to be no birds or small animals in the forest at all. , Even the mosquitoes, ants and poisonous insects all over the forest are gone, and the whole diseased forest is full of dead silence.

The woodland is a piece of scorched black rotten soil, without any shrubs or weeds. Occasionally, a few bloody flowers can be seen growing in the crevices of some stones.

It is temporarily impossible to determine how big the diseased forest is, nor can it be determined where the ancient war tree called the mad tree by the wise men of Dijang and Dirham is located.

Our team stayed at the edge of the diseased forest, and did not step into this land, because we still don't know what kind of danger is here. We walked around the edge of the diseased forest for more than half a day to estimate the land. How big is the woodland.

Facts have proved that this diseased forest is definitely not much smaller than Dustwallow Marsh, and there is such an unknown danger in it.

Once in the diseased forest, we will lose the help of the dryads.

I hopped off a Grizzly horse and stood on the edge of the diseased woods, looking out at the black earth, where the trees couldn't hide the gray sky.

Earl Desmond came up from behind on a horse, and I squatted on the edge of the diseased forest, and said to Earl Desmond, "Why don't you stay here now and let the knights hunt the remnants of spider warriors in the surrounding forests?" , I will take a team of orcs into the diseased forest to investigate the situation inside."

Earl Desmond looked solemn, and said to me: "Earl Jijia, don't be too careless, the situation here looks a bit like the cursed land in Sloit Province, it seems that the plants on the edge of the woodland are all Mutations have already occurred, please let the second-rank knights in the legion participate in this investigation."

Speaking of the cursed land in Sloit Province, it is rumored that it was left over from the death of an ancient demon. The demon's flesh and blood rotted on that land, making the land look like it had been cursed. The plants have mutated to a certain extent, and the land is gradually spreading outward, but the speed of expansion is not very fast.In recent years, Moras, a senior wood magician, has been studying that cursed land with great concentration.

As the daughter of a Morasian scholar, Morayal has some unique insights into that cursed land.

Morayal stood beside me, her eyes fell on the trees that were about to wither, and she said to me with almost certainty: "This is different from the situation in the cursed land, this woodland is not infected by the breath of demons. , but I also can't communicate with those trees, I don't know what the soil here is hiding! But the cause of the withering of the trees here must be hidden in this soil."

As she spoke, she stepped into the diseased forest, and the soil under her feet was stained with black water. She walked to a diseased tree that was about to wither...
