my age of magic

Chapter 1417 221. The Other Side of the Swamp Sea
The first battle at the edge of the southern region of the Black Forest came unexpectedly. The native warriors of the Gilda tribe who followed the barbarian slaves hadn't even joined the battlefield. The [-] heavy crossbows of the barbarian slaves Killing the Nebulu Spider-Man was completely defeated.

The constructed knights of the North Wind Legion have long been used to this kind of scene, but for those constructed knights who came from Haiyinsi City, this scene of directly sweeping the battlefield with eight hundred bed crossbows does seem a bit strange. It was too shocking, especially when hundreds of treant warriors formed an unbreakable tree wall in front of the position, countless tree roots firmly tied the rushing spider warriors in place, and those crossbow arrows exuding magical aura held piercing The whistling sound pierced through the bodies of several spider warriors, and the powerful penetration made the crossbow arrows drenched with black and purple spider blood.

Ten second-rank great knights from the North Wind Army surrounded the remaining spider warlord. The spider warlord tried to break out of the encirclement of the big knights several times, but unfortunately, after the combined efforts of the second-rank great knights blocked him, Next, although he didn't show defeat for a while, his body was already covered with scars. The weapons in the hands of the ten second-rank knights of the North Wind Army were not ordinary iron. Can't stop the big knights from hacking with all their strength.

Although the dryad warriors had thick fur and strong resilience, they couldn't catch up with the spider warriors who were trying to escape in the forest. After the barbarian slaves shot and killed thousands of spider warriors, they scattered on the battlefield, carrying hangers. The black iron ax at the waist was like a group of thugs rushing into the sugarcane field, chopping off the spider legs of those spider warriors one after another, no matter how Justus and the tauren Luka summoned, It is also impossible to arrange the formation again.

The spider warriors in the Nebulu spider camp were defeated at the edge of the black forest, and the constructed knights ambushing in the dense forest quickly rushed out to chase and kill these spider warriors.

At this time, the constructed knights of the South Wind Legion also rushed into the battlefield. At the beginning, they seemed a little cautious and kept the formation of the knights, but as they killed dozens of them on the battlefield Spiderman warriors, these constructed knights gradually became more courageous, and the originally tight formation also loosened up.

And Kalancuo led more than a hundred orc fighters, even more exaggeratedly intercepting the route that the spider warriors must pass through to flee, and led more than a hundred orc fighters to attack the thousands of fleeing spider warriors scattered in the dense forest. charge.

This action immediately aroused the last trace of blood in the hearts of the fleeing spider warriors, so some spider warriors in the spider group launched a countercharge against Kalancuo and the orc warriors who rushed forward, just when the two sides were about to explode , In the bushes beside Kalancuo and the orc warrior, several tongues of flames sprayed out, and the flames wrapped in countless corpses splashed on the spider warrior, and instantly burned among the spiders.

This fire burned away the last trace of courage of the spider warriors, and the spiders ran around like a group of headless flies in the woodland.

On the battlefield behind, the knight followers of the North Wind Legion carried a linen bag in one hand and a sickle in the other, and began to clean up the battlefield in a well-trained manner.

Seeing the chaotic battlefield, Le Die kept comforting the agitated sub-dragon. Before several spider warriors who ran in the wrong direction rushed to me, one of them had his throat cut by Katerina, and the other Several spider warriors were knocked into the sky by a poisonous flower vine that sprang out from the soil, and two tree vines, one thick and one thin, entered the battlefield.

Le Die glanced at Morayal, then turned her eyes to me, and asked me: "These are the powers possessed by eight hundred barbarian slaves?"

"Don't you think this is a wonderful picture scroll showing the cooperation between various races? Constructing the knights on the other side, the tree wall formed by the tree spirit warriors, and the bed crossbow in the hands of the barbarian slaves are all like this It is a crucial factor for victory in a battle." I pointed to the constructed knights who were chasing behind the spider warriors in the distance, and pointed to the dryad warriors who stopped in front of the barbarian slaves. Said: "Of course, I can't deny the role these magic crossbows play in the battle. After all, magic endows them with strong penetrating power, making them almost ignore the armor on the spider warrior."

The dwarf engineers added four wheels to the bulky bed crossbows, which gave them a certain degree of mobility.Even so, they are still too bulky and inconvenient to move. Now these bed crossbows are equipped with handles by the female dwarf craftsmen, so that barbarians can hold them in their hands.

These barbarian slaves are like eight hundred bed crossbows that move freely. Of course, these spiderman warriors cannot resist the power of a salvo of eight hundred bed crossbows.

"So... Those giant crossbows with magic patterns on sale before are actually failures in the process of making these magic crossbows? That's why you use the purchase price to make those giant crossbows look more beautiful, but there is no gain. Sell ​​the crossbow arrow with the effect?" Le Die seems to have figured out the key point, which is also something Earl Konrad and Marquis Haslab have been unable to figure out.

They couldn't figure out why I sold ordinary giant crossbow arrows cheaper than those in the smithy, and even the price of those magic crossbow arrows was quite cheap... There was an urge to re-evaluate the cost of war.

"This will save me some losses. I'm afraid you can't imagine how big the base of these giant crossbow arrows is." I explained to Le Die like this: "I will also sell some giant single-magic attribute monsters to the South Wind Legion now." Crossbow arrows, although they only account for a small part of the total... But having said that, ordinary giant crossbow arrows are already very powerful in city defense battles, and magic crossbow arrows are actually more suitable for field battles."

"Like the battle in front of me?" Le Die squinted her eyes, with a thoughtful expression on her face, a bit like Ying Li, as the princess of the Angibald royal family, she was just a little willful.

"That's right! And as long as the damage is not particularly serious, these magic crossbow bolts can be retrieved and used again." I said.

Le Die looked at the battle that was coming to an end, and said: "The situation in the plane of Hierro... doesn't look as bad as the rumors. The magic newspapers in the imperial capital can only talk about chasing after the wind and shadows, but they still can't find it." Get the real news."

After the battle, the dryad warriors redistributed in the forest around our team. When they walked, the tree trunks would make creaking sounds, giving people the illusion that the branches would break at any time.

At this time, Le Die finally realized that these tree spirits who had been migrating south did not happen to be on the way with us. They walked with us along the way. In fact, it should have been planned long ago. The elite warriors will provide support at the first time, and our route is not aimlessly advancing along the tree-lined road. We arrived here to clean up this spider camp.

It was learned from the dryad that Zack and Ernestine's legion had arrived at the edge of the Black Forest, and they had come into contact with the Nebulu spider army, and the tentative battles between the two sides were also breaking out frequently. The morale of the Bru spider warriors was low, and their will to fight was not strong. These were the messages from the tree spirit warriors.

I led this army to the southernmost tip of the Black Forest, and saw the endless sea of ​​swamps. It was a swamp full of lush aquatic plants and filled with countless pools of various sizes. , so it is called the Marsh Sea.

After entering the summer, the continuous rainy days make the whole black forest look wet, the soil in the forest is full of water, there are several small streams in the black forest meandering from north to south, and finally merged into several rivers to flow into This swamp sea, the pools of the current swamp sea are almost connected together, and the luxuriant aquatic plants can only slightly expose the top leaf tips in the swamp sea.According to Connie, it was called the ancient battlefield at the earliest time, and it was changed into a marsh sea later.

The Nebulu spiders came out of the depths of the swamp sea. Now this group of spiders smelled danger in the black forest. The naturally cruel and cowardly spiders decided to abandon the black forest and retreat to the depths of the swamp sea. Unfortunately, It was a rainy summer at this time, and a large amount of rainwater poured into the marsh sea, which blocked the escape route of the spider people. About hundreds of thousands of spider warriors gathered at the southern edge of the Black Forest, trying to find their way home. way.

After the banning magic circle in the forest was lifted, the ancient war trees and dryads were no longer bound by the magic circle. When they could move freely in the forest, they launched revenge actions against the Nebru tribe spiders. They have With absolute control over the forest, the dryads began to hunt and kill the giant spiders lurking in the forest. No matter where the giant spiders were hiding, they could be found, killed, or expelled by the dryads.

As the lowest existence in the Nibru spider society, the giant spider's duty is to assist the spider warriors, and the giant spider has the ability to build spider camps, and is responsible for hunting in the jungle and making silk cocoons from its prey. These silk cocoons that store nutrient solution are the food that spider warriors rely on for survival.

The trees in the forest extend all the way to the water, and there are also some trees growing in the swamp. The indigenous warriors of the Gilda tribe stand collectively at the edge of the swamp, looking at the vast swamp sea. These aborigines have lived in the jungle for generations. Seeing the world outside the forest, I was extremely shocked in my heart.

Several giant swamp crocodiles sank into the water from a distance, leaving only a very shallow waterline on the water surface, slowly approaching these native warriors.

Before they could swim to the shore, tall figures suddenly appeared behind the native warriors. Barbarian slaves appeared behind the native warriors with heavy crossbows on their backs. They saw the swamp giant crocodiles approaching at first sight. In the eyes of the barbarian slaves, these swamp giant crocodiles are no different from the sea fish in the sea on the Vashqi plane. They scrambled to get up their crossbows, looked at the water surface in the swamp, and took out the quiver from the quiver behind them. Ordinary giant crossbow bolts, a few giant crossbow bolts shot into the water with a whistling sound, and immediately a huge splash appeared in the water, and a five-meter-long swamp giant crocodile floated to the surface of the water, with two thick and giant crossbow bolts stuck on its back, Under the severe pain, it rotated its body, trying to break the crossbow bolts on its back, but those crossbow bolts had already pierced its body.

There was a dark red blood in the swamp. After struggling for a while, several swamp giant crocodiles finally exhausted their strength and floated on the water with their white bellies exposed. Their sharp giant crossbow arrows pointed at the sky obliquely. Although those swamp giant crocodiles did not Complete death, but not far from death.

The barbarian slave strode into the swamp, swung the rope in his hand, entangled those giant crocodiles floating on the water, and pulled them to the shore with three or two strokes. Those swamp giant crocodiles were still thinking about dying Struggling, it's a pity that these indigenous warriors held spears in their hands and stabbed them into the skulls of the giant swamp crocodiles, killing them decisively.

The barbarian slave grabbed the forelegs of the giant swamp crocodile with one hand and the tail of the giant crocodile with the other, carried it on his shoulders, turned around and walked back to the deep forest.

The native warriors also reluctantly left the shore and turned back to the forest. They needed to build a tree house in the forest before dinner, and also helped the barbarian slaves and the constructed knights set up some simple wooden beds. .

The dinner of the barbarian slaves was roasted swamp giant crocodile and roasted spider legs. The swamp was rich in products, and the constructed knights picked up some waterfowl eggs by the water. The constructed knights of the South Wind Legion even walked into the swamp, Some big fish with green scales were caught with a harpoon, but these special products by the water could not satisfy the appetites of 7000 people. Most of them still had to drink broth and eat wheat cakes, but the indigenous warriors of Yero liked to eat wheat cakes.

I asked Pujaka: Has anyone ever crossed this swampy sea, and what is beyond the sea? .

There was such a hero in the tribe. According to him, the other side of the marsh sea is actually a big rift valley. Some people say that there is the end of the world. "Pujaka knew everything and said to me.

Kalantso and the orc warriors burned the spider camp in front of them. When the spider camp was burning, some giant spiders hidden in the camp appeared again, screaming and running away. Before they could climb out, they were burned blazingly The fire burned to death inside, and the overflowing grease burst into clusters of sparks in the flames, and there was a crackling sound, accompanied by the wailing sound of the giant spider, which sounded quite terrifying.

But this time I found that there didn't seem to be many silk cocoons hanging on dead branches in the entire spider camp. It seems that the Nebulu spiders don't have a lot of food reserves here, and the giant spiders have been unable to enter recently. Hunting in the Black Forest, it is estimated that the spiders in the camp are starving for the time being, and I don’t know what will happen to the Nibru spiders that Zach and Ernestine are facing...
