my age of magic

Chapter 1419 223. Wai

The Nibru Spiderman built a huge spider camp along the coast of the Marsh Sea. This camp occupies nearly ten kilometers along the coast of the Marsh Sea. The entire camp is in the shape of a banana on the southern edge of the Black Forest. The white spider webs will The entire camp is completely covered, and the spider camp is surrounded by a dense mangrove forest. These dense mangrove forests are entangled, and it is very difficult for even the best jungle ranger to walk through it, let alone those in our army. Constructed knights riding heavily armored horses.

Zac and Ernestine's army camped in the forested area on the east side of the Nibru Spiderman along the swamp coast. Large white tents were connected together. Nearly 8000 people from Durva Province and Salta Province gathered here. Soldiers, among them, there are more than [-] constructed knights, and nearly [-] knight retinues, and the rest are infantry fighters of some logistics supplies regiments. Such a huge expeditionary force has an extremely huge logistics supply line. When passing through the Duerwa people's camp, you can still see one after another carriages coming from the depths of the jungle and continuously entering the material warehouse at the rear of the camp.

Zac's main military supplies warehouse was not built in the barracks next to the battlefield. The late material regiment had another very hidden large material warehouse in the valley of the Black Forest more than ten kilometers away.

On the side of the Dulwa camp facing the Nebulu spider camp, there is an open field of nearly a kilometer. This is a battlefield specially vacated by Zach. When the battle starts, the constructed knights can have a charging distance However, there are hundreds of road-rejecting horses made of sharpened giant logs on the side of the Duerwa people's camp, while on the other side of the spider camp, there are large sticky white spider silks spreading out from the dead forest and occupying a large area. A large piece of grass looks like snow in the northern province in winter from a distance.

The spider camp was built in a luxuriant mangrove forest. To the north of this mangrove forest, the mangrove forest with a width of about five kilometers has now completely withered. A large number of leaves have fallen, and the entire mangrove forest has died. In a large dead area, a large number of giant spiders lurk in this dry forest. The mangrove is a typical tree with a well-developed root system. A large number of mangrove roots are connected together. They want to open a road from the mangrove in the north to approach the spider camp. It's not impossible, but it is bound to be discovered by the giant spiders in the mangroves. Once the spider warriors are alert, it will become extremely difficult to open a road from the northern mangroves to attack the spider camp.

Only on the west side of the spider camp, where the black forest connects to the marsh sea, there is an open channel of hundreds of meters, which can bypass the dense mangrove forest area.

Before we arrived at the spider camp, Deborah and Le Die had already investigated the terrain here, knowing that nearly 60 spidermen were all crowded in this small spider camp, and they had been waiting on the shore of the swamp sea The dry season here.

It's a pity that this season is still in the rainy season, and the water level of the swamp sea has remained high. The spiders will send some spiderman scouts into the swamp sea every day to find a way to escape, but until now, the Nibru spiders are still trapped here. No one was more anxious than this group of Nibru spiders, but their way home was flooded, so they could only wait here in embarrassment.

Zack and Ernestine's idea is to concentrate their forces on the battlefield in the east to fight a war of attrition with the Nebulu spiders, forcing the spiders to retreat westward along the coast of the Marsh Sea. The Nebru spiders are nearly 60 Tens of thousands of spider warriors gather here, and a slight mistake on the battlefield will attract the deadly backlash of the Nebulu spiders. Therefore, Zach and Ernestine agreed that we can slowly eat away at the Nebula on the other side by virtue of the powerful combat power of the Construct Knights. The Blue Spider Legion, and since our side is not dominant in terms of strength, it is the best choice to open up the battlefield on the open land east of the spider camp.

And they don't approve of me cutting off the final retreat of the Nebulu Spider, and they are also careful that if the Nebru Spider who is in a dead end fights us in advance, it is still unknown which side the balance of victory will tilt.

So when Zach and Ernestine heard that I was going to take people to block the opening on the west side of the spider camp, their faces changed for a moment, and they quickly pulled Earl Desmond and me closer to the big tent of the barracks. , we stood in front of the sand table temporarily made by Zach and began to explain our battle plan. Obviously Zach and Ernestine intend to be conservative.

But for me, I don't want to prolong this encirclement battle for too long. The ancient war tree intends to push these Nebulu spiders into the swamp sea, so it is impossible to leave an exit on the west side of the spider camp. Come, otherwise these spiderman warriors will definitely retreat along the west coast of the swamp sea. It is impossible for them to choose to enter this swamp sea when they have a way to survive.

Then Zack and I did some deduction on the sand table. What Zach and Ernestine were most worried about was that once the Nebulus spiders decided to counterattack, our side would not be able to defend. No one can tell how many spider warlords are hidden in the Lu spider army. Constructed knights confront each other on the frontal battlefield, which is slightly better than Nebulu spider, but this does not mean that we can block the spider man. Warrior's counterattack.

I pondered for a while, and said to Zach: "I have a way to prevent the Nebulu spider from counterattacking."

Turning around, I asked Kalancuo who was following me: "How many spare flamethrowers can you pull out?"

Kalancuo thought about it seriously, then raised his head and replied, "Fifty."

The flame-throwing device is a weapon obtained from the Hex blueprint. It was not easy to make the flame-throwing device with various alternative materials.Because of the metal softener and hardener, the forging process is much easier.Recently, the dwarf blacksmith workshop in Xinliu Valley has been helping me improve various weapons. Some pipelines and hydraulic devices in the flamethrower are easier to make, especially the pressure made by the dwarf craftsmen. The cylinder is much better than before, especially after the old dwarf craftsmen improved and optimized the production process recently, a new batch of flame-breathing devices began to be equipped in the hands of the orc warriors.

Because the flame-throwing devices before were often burned by the scorching high temperature during the battle, the flame-throwing devices I prepared in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Barn basically kept more than [-] sets, and Kalancuo said [-] sets The flame-throwing device also fully considered the situation of the battlefield here. If you want to use flame devices to form a wall of fire on this battlefield, then at least fifty flame-throwing devices must be placed on the several hundred meters wide position.

I waved my hand bluntly, and said to Kalanzo: "Okay, then let your orc warriors bring out fifty flamethrowers, and another two hundred barrels of fire oil, we will help Zach Form a firepower network here."

Kalancuo immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll get ready now."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the big tent, and I quickly added to her: "By the way, don't forget to prepare some heat-proof clothes..."

Then I talked to Zach about these flamethrowers, and I didn't expect Zach to hear about them.Zach said that the first time he heard about the flame-throwing device was before the fall of the outer city of Tanton City at the end of last year. At that time, a group of infantry soldiers from the Trume stronghold in Tanton City talked about this magic weapon. .

It didn't take long for Kalancuo to return with a group of orc warriors. These orc warriors placed [-] flame-throwing devices outside the big tent, and brought over two hundred barrels of corpse kerosene. This is the current equipment of the orc warriors. The flamethrowing devices are the largest, and the rest are stored in Xinliu Valley. I have to wait for me to open the portal to Xinliu Valley before I can take out the stored flamethrowing devices.

Seeing the look of anticipation on Zach's face, I asked Kalancuo to find the orc warriors to demonstrate on the spot, and told Zach not to rely too much on these flame-throwing devices. They are big-bellied spiders with sour solution. They are definitely the nemesis of these flame-throwing devices. As long as they explode on the battlefield, the sour liquid in their bodies will quickly extinguish the fire.

The orc fighters of the fire-breathing team are naturally very skilled in manipulating the flame-throwing device. At first, the young lieutenants who still had some contempt on their faces looked at the orc fighters with dark skin, rough hands and ugly faces. At that time, the expressions on their faces gradually became serious. The orc warriors seemed to be reciting the rules, and they had to give a brief description of every move they demonstrated. Although their imperial language was not fluent, at least others could basically understand it. understand.

Bernd, who is serious and dogmatic, compiled the steps of operating the flame-throwing device into a code, and required all orc fighters to recite them proficiently. Bernd was always worried that the orcs would mess around with those flame-throwing devices, but fortunately Karan The measures have implemented this point to the letter, so these orc warriors can use the flamethrowing device very standardly.

The young lieutenants didn't understand the power of corpse fire oil, and they seemed a little disapproving of these orc warriors using the flamethrower so cautiously.

Ernestine saw that Kalancuo was silent at the side, explaining the operating procedures to the orc warriors one by one, without any expression, so he coughed lightly at the side, and asked the young lieutenants to listen carefully, some complicated steps It is best to write it down with notes.

The young lieutenants were very convinced by Ernestine's words, and when they heard what Ernestine said, they all followed suit.

After waiting until Ernestine and Zach whispered in a low voice, Kalanzo took a deep look at Ernestine.

The best place to test the power of the flame-throwing device is of course the battlefield. This flame-throwing device is no secret to the Nebulu spiderman, so when Zach ordered a longbow shooter to walk under the protection of the heavy armored infantry Entering the battlefield and slowly approaching the spider camp, the Nebulu masters on the opposite side immediately became vigilant. The longbows in the hands of these longbowmen threw star arrows as far as six to seven hundred meters. The longbow shooters, whose number had reached 700, were about to approach the center of the battlefield. The Nebulu spider sent out a team of spider warriors and walked out of the camp silently.

Take a bow and shoot an arrow.

The dense rain of arrows shot towards the group of spider warriors. This kind of provocation probably occurs every day. At this time, if the Nibru spiders stand still, they have to hold their shields to withstand the rain of arrows and take a bath, or else they have to take a shower. Then retreat to the camp, otherwise, this kind of arrow with a certain amount of black iron content falling from a high altitude is quite powerful, at least it can penetrate the weakest part of the carapace of those spider warriors.

So usually the spider warriors will launch a round of charge when facing these longbow shooters, as long as they are forced to retreat, and sometimes these spider warriors will also throw a round of black iron spears at the opposite side. Threats to these longbow shooters, but the last few times the longbow shooters will be protected by a group of heavy armored infantry holding tower shields in front of them, so the power of throwing black iron spears is very limited.

And for the spider warriors, once they throw the black iron spear in their hands, the most embarrassing thing is to pick up the weapon back on the battlefield, otherwise the spider warrior will have no weapons to fight in the next battle. take.Therefore, under normal circumstances, the spider warriors would not throw the weapons in their hands. They would charge the longbow archer in many cases, and it was the same this time.

It doesn't take many spider warriors to list a horizontal formation, a few hundred is enough.

Raising the black iron spear in his hand, the eight sharp sickle-like legs moved forward alternately. The spider warriors charged like knights. They once again faced a wave of arrows. None of the spider warriors fell, but some Many spider warriors had some arrow shafts hanging from their bodies, and they continued to rush forward.

600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters... 100 meters, but in the past, the longbow shooters had already retreated under the cover of the heavy armored infantry, and then a team of constructed knights would rush up, but this time Those longbow shooters didn't retreat...

But waiting for these spider warriors are four long fire snakes.

The longbow shooters changed their formation one after another, let out the fire-throwing device, and saw four fire snakes rolling towards the spider warriors. When he rushed out, he was covered in flames, trying to rush into the camp of the longbow shooters, but after the body wrapped in flames ran forward for a dozen steps, the spider warriors fell on the battlefield one after another, becoming Into piles of burning flames.

This tentative battle ended in piles of burning flames.

The corpses of those spider warriors burned for a long time before the flames were extinguished.

Zach and Ernestine finally looked at these flamethrowers seriously, and they no longer had any objections to the encirclement strategy I proposed.

The dryad warriors are the best herders in the forest, but unfortunately they cannot graze dead trees after all. However, nearly [-] dryad warriors, led by the ancient war trees, surrounded the dead mangrove forest in the north of the spider camp. In the periphery, the giant spiders in the mangrove were frightened by this move of the dryads. Although the real battle had not yet begun, the oppressive atmosphere on the battlefield had already spread.

Seeing me leading the army around the mangrove forest and preparing to station in the dense forest to the west of the Nebulu Spiderman camp, the constructed knights in Durva and Salta provinces were a little dumbfounded.Originally, these constructed knights were planning to set aside an open space for us to set up camp, but the knights saw that I led the legion directly past the edge of their camp, bypassed the large mangrove forest in the north, and headed towards the west of the spider camp. go face to face...
