my age of magic

Chapter 716

The spiders besieged Trum, but they didn't capture it immediately. They just spread a big net around Trum, waiting for the imperial army to break into the big net. This kind of deployment is very effective only for those ordinary imperial soldiers. No matter from which direction those imperial reinforcements approach Trum, they will be intercepted by the spider warriors.

At the beginning of the battle, a chain reaction will be triggered, and the surrounding spiders will also quickly surround them like a large shrinking web.

As long as the spider warriors facing the enemy face to face persist for a quarter of an hour, the spiders will be able to form a siege, from the outside to the inside, eating away the reinforcements of the empire layer by layer, not to mention, the spider warriors are far stronger than ordinary imperial soldiers Even more elite, these tank-like spider warriors happened to be the biggest nemesis of the imperial infantry formation.

However, for the hunters, the arrangement of the spiders is more convenient for us to destroy them one by one.

I don't know, where did the adventurers and mercenary demon hunters in the Grimm Empire go?
Such a good hunting ground, but there is no adventurous group coming to hunt the dark forces. Usually, there will always be a large number of adventure groups and mercenary groups flocking to the rich planes. They will In the form of a small team, they can only shuttle in the mountains and fields. They will receive some reward tasks to hunt and kill the vital forces of the hostile forces, and get tokens to return to the headquarters city to receive rewards.

Just like I hunted and killed barbarians in El City, as long as I hold their left ears, I can receive merits at the Logistics Department of El City. These achievements can be exchanged for materials, money, titles, etc.

There are many adventure groups who also like to give it a go on certain planes.

In addition, I have never seen the Constructed Knights under the Grand Duke of Samoyed. Under such a crisis, Tanton City still did not send out elite Constructed Knights to ease the pressure of the battle. Maybe I did not stand in that high position , there is no way to understand the thoughts of those big shots.

In short, the situation on the Yero plane is now in a precarious situation. The defense line that the Grand Duke of Samoyed painstakingly built has been captured to pieces, and all the small outposts along the way have been slaughtered. These soldiers of the empire can only retreat in the large Inside the stronghold.

……

I led the orc team, lurking on a mountain [-] kilometers away from the Trum stronghold. According to the information provided by Takama, more than [-] spider warriors gathered in this valley, lurking in the dense forest on both sides of the hillside. From time to time, spiderman scouts would be sent out. Those spiderman scouts were very impatient, and they were looking for those giant spiders in the black forest.

As long as there are giant spiders lurking in the center of the big web in the canopy, they will be called down, and then they will be beaten with a big iron spear, and then these giant spiders will be driven to hunt in the forest.

In the forest around Trum, many wild beasts seemed to have sensed the danger early and had already migrated to other places. Those giant spiders could only run wildly in the forest in vain, and finally had to run farther away.

There are also some giant spiders, with white silk cocoons hanging from their tentacles, following the spiderman scouts back to the dense forest on the mountain slope.

It seemed that there was a shortage of food for this team of spider warriors. Those giant spiders who were in charge of hunting were very unlucky and suffered some disasters. In light of the severity, most of the giant spiders that were beaten were beaten to pieces.

Takama, the lizard maid, has a jungle survival skill. She can hide her body in the canopy and blend with the tree, just like a chameleon.

When she was lying on the big tree, her breath, heartbeat, and body heat all disappeared, and it was difficult for the giant spider with keen perception to find her. She can be said to be the best scout in the dense forest.

I can't help but secretly wonder how such an excellent jungle warrior like Takama was caught by those slave traders?

I found that the spider warriors had laid a large net outside the Trum stronghold, so I was not in a hurry to enter the Trum stronghold.

I want to give Katerina a big gift before entering Trume stronghold.

Apparently, more than [-] spider warriors gathered together among the mountains, which didn't fit the formation of the spider warriors outside the Trum stronghold, it was an ambush.

They lurk in the dense forest on this mountain slope with a very clear purpose, and they also sent spiderman scouts to look for those giant spiders everywhere, forcing them to replenish supplies to the mountain, completely preparing for the battle.

Obviously, the spider warriors here have some problems in terms of food supply, which immediately reminded me of the more than 40 giant spiders I met last night. Could it be that those giant spiders are just responsible for the food supply of this group of spider warriors? The entire army was wiped out before they had time to provide food for these spider warriors?

These spider people probably never thought that I led a team of orcs to ambush above their heads, with a distance of no more than 500 meters from them.

In the subjective consciousness of these spider warriors, they are stationed in the dense forest on this hillside, and they can have a panoramic view of the surrounding situation, and from time to time, spider scouts will take turns to patrol, and everything that wants to climb to the top of the mountain All enemies will be exposed in their field of vision.

But I never thought that before the morning mist cleared, wearing the invisibility effect of the 'shadow cloak', I would climb to the peak of this mountain alone, and then find a secluded place on a rocky cliff, and quickly open the portal. He summoned Qige and the others who were waiting on the altar in the underground cave.

For this ambush, I mobilized all the orc warriors in the underground cave, and bundles of short flying spears were moved out.

These short flying spears are made by the dwarf consultant Bernd who usually uses those hollow steel pipes. One end of the steel pipe is sharpened and quenched, and the other end is equipped with a short tail made of cross-shaped thin iron sheet, which can make the short flying spears fly in the air. It is more stable when flying in the air, and the hollow steel pipe is pierced into the body, blood can flow out of the steel pipe without any barriers, causing the enemy to quickly cause a large amount of blood loss.

This is the top of the mountain. Orc warriors who are good at throwing throw short flying spears from top to bottom, and their power will be doubled.

I ordered the orc warrior Kentoya to carry out the two flamethrowers in the underground cave, the oil barrel and the spray gun with the blessing of the wind array, which can spray the atomized corpse fire oil tens of meters away.Qige, a wind magician, arranged a small wind magic circle behind the two flamethrowers. The light wind formed by the magic circle will always blow towards the dense forest on the hillside.

"Using corpse fire oil here, will this black forest be burned directly?" I whispered to Qige with a little worry.

Qige glared at me angrily, looking very disgusted with me, and said to me in a low voice: "Before the war, you are still so hesitant, what qualifications do you have to be the commander, wouldn't it be better to burn the forest?" , directly cook the spiders hidden inside, wouldn’t it be easy?”

Then she pointed to the gray sky, sighed softly, and said, "It's the rainy season in the Hierro plane, what we have to pray is that it won't rain later, otherwise the corpses set It’s time to run out of kerosene.”

She squatted beside the orc Kentoya, looking curiously at the flamethrower in his hand that looked like a dwarf shotgun, but the nozzle of the flamethrower seemed much longer, and the copper pipe was as thick as an arm. Inscribed with six groups of wind arrays, there are auxiliary air outlets attached to the injection port, the entire injector is made of magic red copper, and the nozzle is made of high temperature resistant crucible material.

"These wind magic circles are really ugly, but if you change the shape of the wind magic circles in this way, can these magic circles still work normally?" Qige looked at the long striped wind magic circles in disbelief.

I touched the familiar magic lines on it, and explained to Qige: "Of course, these magic runes were designed by Yerkes scholars. We tried countless times before we succeeded."

She looked at the hydraulic device of the flamethrower and asked me curiously: "What is this?"

"Hmm..." I stretched my voice, and for a while I didn't know how to explain the principle of the hydraulic device to her. There is no special word for hydraulic pressure in the Imperial language, so I thought about it and said: "This is a kind of technology in Hex Technology. The device can spray out water jets, and I use it instead on corpse fire oil, which can spray these corpse fire oil farther."

"It turns out that this magic tool doesn't rely entirely on the hurricane technique!" Qige was well-informed in the Magic Research Institute, so he naturally understood it.

.

However, magicians are inherently resistant to Hex technology. Many magicians believe that magic and technology cannot coexist.

The heyday of the goblin clan in history, when the goblin clan created Hex technology.

Qige asked me a little surprised: "Why do you have research on these?"

I squinted my eyes, and naturally I couldn't tell her that this thing was the pesticide sprayer for fruit trees that I had used countless times in the orchard in my previous life, so I said: "I found some leftovers in the treasure of the goblin tribe in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley. Hex technology drawings, although I think those old antiques are outdated, but there are some very good ideas in those drawings, I combined the two together, and found that there are unexpected effects!"

Qige is very interested in some novel things. People who can become magicians have strong mental power. Generally, magicians are people with high IQ. These people are often more receptive to new things. She said excitedly: "Listen! Now that you put it that way, I can't wait to see the power of your flamethrower!"

I smiled 'hehe': "Haha, wait a minute, you'll see it!"

"You have to stay away later, the fire from that thing is very hot!" Kentoya, who was wearing a thick leather armor, said honestly to Qige.

Qige was in a good mood, and even smiled sweetly at Kentoya, which made the young orc warrior's face turn red all of a sudden.

……

A group of heavy armored infantry regiments from Dulwa province of the Green Empire walked slowly on the mountainside plank road under the mountain. The front row was a row of shield warriors, each carrying a square shield like a door panel. A sharp crusader's long sword hung from his waist, and he was wearing a forged steel plate armor. From a distance, they looked like tin men. Their steps moved very slowly, and their steps were abnormal. heavy.

A group of soldiers in the back carried halberds, covered their bodies with a layer of mail, and even their boots were covered with a layer of iron. The soldiers wore steel helmets on their heads, and their iron masks were lifted. When he got up, he showed tired faces. He always looked weak and unable to raise his spirits. The armor on his body was covered with dust, as if he had traveled a long distance.

At the end is a group of longbow archers wearing leather armor. Everyone has very few long-shafted arrows left in their quiver. An iron-bodied longbow is carried on their backs, but now it looks a bit like a decoration. These longbows The archers had leather hoods on their heads, short daggers on their waists, and long leather boots on their feet. Their equipment was very refined. They always looked a little panicked at the end of the team.

The number of each branch is less than a hundred people. I estimated from a distance on the mountains that this group of imperial soldiers probably has less than 200 people. It seems that he has not experienced any fierce battles, but his condition is not very good, as if he has not had a good rest for a long time.

Sword and shield warriors combined with halberds and longbowmen are the core and basic configuration of the infantry regiment of the Grimm Empire. Such infantry regiments can confront some light cavalry head-on, and they are also worthy of those cavalry archers who are good at hunting. I am the first Once saw the regular infantry regiment of the Green Empire.

In the province of Sluyte in the north, the Northwind Legion is almost an all-cavalry regiment, because those barbarian soldiers on the ice and snow tundra run as fast as a galloping horse. What kind of infantry can stop the barbarian's charge?
Those spider warriors were much stronger than the barbarians, each of them looked like armored warriors riding war elephants. When ordinary infantry regiments encountered spider warriors, they could break up the formation with a single charge. It was a long journey all the way to rush here.

I don't understand how there are so many childish military deployments. After all, they are stationed in the Dulva Province in the inland area of ​​the Green Empire!
Durva Province has a large natural pasture on the territory of the Green Empire. This province is extremely scarce in various resources, but the most advantageous thing is that it has a whole piece of high-quality large pasture, so Durva Province is rich in war horses. Most of the ancient Bolai horses raised here are exported. The green-scaled horse has excellent endurance and fast running speed, which is suitable for light cavalry. The black-scaled horse has strong explosive power, strong short-range impact, and violent temper. , even in the face of the bull with the 'death gaze', there will be no fear.

However, the advantages of these Durva provinces are completely invisible on the Hierro plane. Facing the embarrassment of the spider warriors besieging the city, it turned out to be a long-distance infantry team prepared according to the standard of the empire. They rushed over from a place far away, what is going on here?

Seeing that heavy armored infantry regiment slowly approaching, knowing nothing about the spider warriors in the dense forest on the hillside, Qige and I looked at each other speechlessly.
