222. Don't provoke the dryads
'......Boom'
'Boom...... Boom......'
The whole cabin shook violently, and I woke up from my sleep, the rustle of the lush leaves outside the treehouse, and Morayar was still asleep beside me, her pretty face was unusually quiet when she closed her eyes, and her breathing was light and even. Pushing Moraya's arm away from my chest, I sat up from the floor of the treehouse, and looked out the window at the shaking leaves, only to realize that there was a lot of movement outside.
Walking to the window and poking my head out, there was nothing unusual about the gray sky through the dense foliage, and suddenly the sky in front of me was obscured by a huge canopy, and a tall ancient war tree appeared in my sight, and every time he took a step, the ground under his feet shook violently.
I hurried out of the treehouse and climbed to the top of the canopy, only to find Katerina, Karantso, Justus, Count Desmond and his twelve great knights standing on top of the canopy around them, looking at the five ancient war trees that were approaching not far away.
In the vast sea of trees, the ancient trees of the battle array more than 150 meters high are like standing out from the crowd, nearly three-quarters of their bodies are exposed above the sea of trees, the canopy above their heads is like a giant umbrella, some birds fly back and forth around the ancient war tree, their thick and strong feet are covered with roots, and with every step, those roots will be re-rooted in the soil.
Anniyuddin in the Cracked Stone Graveyard, Visman, the Ancient War Tree in the Green Valley Forest, the Elder Dirham Wise in the Thorn Crater, and the other two war trees in the Thorn Crater, Manson and Cornwallis, stood behind them the unsightly Dryad warriors, although I couldn't count their number, but with the mountains they occupied, I think the number of these Dryad warriors was at least more than 10,000.
Several of the Elders of the War Ancient Tree were in unison, their neat steps caused the whole earth to shake, although they seemed to move slowly with each step, but the speed of movement in the Black Forest was not slow at all, each step was almost dozens of meters away, and the two long legs covered with dead bark alternated with each other, and it seemed that they were walking very easily in the Black Forest.
Flying around the canopy of the ancient war tree Weisman, she was intrigued by the bird's nest built by the canopy on Weisman's head, and tentatively approached Weissman, talking to the well-informed ancient war tree.
Little did I know that the War Trees would be on the battlefield on the southern edge of the Black Forest, and they would follow me along the way, leading us to the edge of the forest after encircling a Nebru Spider camp, and then appearing in the forest after we rested......
'Yes, they are the true masters of this forest!' I said to myself as I saw so many Treant warriors standing together. Although these ancient trees of war have now ceded the northern part of the Black Forest to us, the sheer strength they are now displaying makes me a little worried about whether the Duke of Samoyed will be able to control the northern forest steadily.
The Elder of the Ancient Tree of War, Dirham, stood in front of me, politely stretched out his hand to hold me up in front of it, and only then said to me in a loud voice, "Is our arrival a surprise, my young human friend?"
The Dirham Wise Man's voice was loud, but it was extraordinarily soft to my ears, and the incongruity in that sound was probably some kind of suppression of the power of the ancient tree of war.
"Uh...... It was quite sudden, I thought that only those Treant Warriors would assist us in the battle, but I didn't expect you to go to the battlefield with the other Ancient War Trees. I glanced behind it, but I couldn't communicate with Wiseman behind me, and I didn't have time to greet the grumpy Aniyuddin because of the dense foliage.
Elder Dirham said very directly: "Of course, we will not fail to participate in this war that will determine the future fate of the Hiero plane. ”
"It's not that serious, is it?"
I didn't expect the Dirham Wise Men to take this battle so seriously, for me, I just wanted to work with Zach and Ernestin to drive these Nibru spiders out of the Black Forest, at least in the near future, not in the Black Forest, so that the Ancient Treants could regain control of the southern part of the Black Forest. That way, my town of Trump won't be bothered by the Nibru spiders anytime soon.
The wise man of the dirham said to me, "If we don't hurt this group of Nebru spiders this time, maybe when the swamp sea enters the dry period, there will be a large number of Nibru spiders crossing the swamp sea and entering the Black Forest, and besides...... This group of Nebru spiders has invaded our home, and it is our duty to drive them out. ”
After saying that, the wise man of the dirham paused for a moment, and then said to me again: "The army of your two friends has arrived safely and is stationed at the predetermined place, and we did not let you join them at the first time, but came here to destroy a spider camp, in fact, we want to discuss with you first: how to fight the next battle, I think at least we must agree in advance to convince your two friends." ”
I calculated the army that could be mobilized in this battle, more than 30,000 Constructed Knights, such a large force is not without a chance of winning even if it is alone in the Black Forest against the Nibru Spiders, not to mention that this time with the help of the Dryad warriors, it seems that the balance of war is constantly tilting towards our side, so I said without thinking: "What else is there to discuss in this matter, with our current strength, we should be able to defeat them head-on......"
"Well, do you know how many Nibru spiders are on the edge of the Black Forest right now?" the Dirham Wise Man asked me.
The recent victories in the battles had made me a little blind to my own power, and I didn't know much about these investigations, except that the number of Nebru spiders gathered on the edge of the Black Forest must not be too small, so I shook my head.
The Dirham scholar told me: "If you don't count the number of giant spiders, just the number of spider-man warriors, there are about 600,000 in the southern part of the Black Forest......
There was a roar in my ears, I didn't expect that there were such a large number of spider-man warriors in the southern Black Forest, I had always blindly believed in my own strength, and now it seemed that if I didn't have the information provided by the dryads, I blindly walked into the southern region of the Black Forest, as long as the Nebru spider-men mobilized a group of spider-man warriors, our expeditionary force could really be swallowed by the Nibru spider-men.
Now that the Duke of Samoyed has signed an alliance treaty with the Ancient Tree Spirits, and the most important thing is that the ban in the Black Forest has been broken, and the War Ancient Trees and Dryads have regained their freedom, it has not been so easy to swallow us, but with the fact that there are still 600,000 Nibru Spider Warriors in the Black Forest, such an astronomical number will inevitably make people feel a little panicked.
"So many?" I exclaimed.
To be honest, I was taken aback by the words of the wise man of the dirham, and I couldn't help but calculate in my heart, if it was 600,000 giant spiders, it would not be afraid, but 600,000 spider-man warriors, then the strength of the Nebru spider-men who stayed here was still a little terrifying.
The wise man of the dirham said to me: "Originally, this group of spider-man warriors was scattered in the southern forest, and it was not obvious that there would be so many, but now they are gathered together and ready to cross the swamp sea, so almost all the spider-man warriors in the southern region of the Black Forest have gathered......"
I stood on its arm and asked suspiciously, "So, Dirham Wise, do you have any good ideas?"
There was a hint of wisdom in the old face of the ancient tree of war, these old guys who had lived in this land for thousands of years were much smarter than they looked, the wise man of the dirham opened his bright eyes, there were no pupils in his eyes, only two pale green rays, his face wanted to tilt to the sides, and make a smiling motion, but unfortunately it was a little uncoordinated, and the movements seemed a little too stiff.
The Dirham Wise Man said to me, "If we go head-to-head with them, we will definitely pay a considerable price if we want to devour 600,000 Nibru spider warriors." The Nebru spiders chose to settle down in the southern part of the forest, and did not retreat to the swamp sea, in my opinion, because they can't cross the swamp sea at the moment, and they can't go back at the moment, so they stay here, in fact, they are more anxious than we are. ”
"So what?" I asked, looking up.
A flock of white egrets flew out a short distance overhead, and there were some nests of their own in the canopy above me, and it seemed that the War Tree didn't mind them settling on its head.
When I retracted my gaze, the wise man of the ancient tree of war, Dirham, continued to say to me: "We can put constant pressure on them to make them feel that there is still hope of surviving when they run into the swampy sea, and that staying in the forest is just a dead end, forcing them into the swampy sea, and I know that there is a basin in this swampy sea, and the water is very deep......"
"You want to drive these Nebru spiders into the depths of the swamp sea and drown them?" I finally understood the thought of the wise man of the dirham.
"In fact, they don't want to walk out of the swamp as long as they walk into the swampy sea. The dirham stretched out his hand to me, I almost lost my footing, I fell off its arm, and when I was unsteady on my feet, I quickly grabbed a branch next to me, and I was able to stabilize my body.
The wise man of the dirham said to me, "I want them to know that this swampy sea is a real dead place for them." ”
“......”
I could barely speak, and at this time I was quite emotional, that is, don't provoke the tree spirits in the forest.
......
I was standing on a boulder that was covered in cyan moss and looked a little slippery.
The army walked east along the edge of the Black Forest, where the woods were not dense, but there were tree-lined paths created by the dryads, and the wind from the swampy sea made it less sultry, and although the wind was not so cool, it would also make the knights in armor feel comfortable.
There is no sun in the sky of the Hiero plane, and at this time it looks like gray clouds are rolling, as if it is going to rain again, and the weather in the summer of the Hiero plane is like a child's face, turning over and over.
Zack and Ernestine's Knights were in a glade to the east, and on the east side of their camp was the Spider Camp that stretched out as far as the eye could see, and it seemed that this Spider Camp occupied a fairly long coastline, and the Spider Warriors were stationed here to see when the water level of the swamp sea would recede.
However, a heavy rain is imminent, which indicates that the water level of this swampy sea will not only not recede, but even rise in the next few days.
Five Ancient War Trees and more than 10,000 Treant Warriors walked through the jungle towards the camp where Zach and Ernestin were stationed.
The sight of more than 10,000 dryads moving around the forest at the same time was quite spectacular, and we probably walked for less than a day before we saw Zach and Ernestine's camp, and behind their camp, a convoy of late-stage supplies was constantly driving into the camp.
The Dryant warriors seemed to have alarmed Zach and Ernestine, who rode out of the camp with a group of guards, and the envy on their faces was hard to hide when they saw my army mingling with the dryads.
Zach and Ernestin came out of the group, and they stood in front of me, and Zach said to me, "Gigga, you're late, we've been waiting for you here for three days." ”
"Is everything going well over here?" I asked Zach and Ernestine.
"Luckily, the spider-man warriors are a little more honest than I expected. Zach pointed to the white cobwebs in the distance and said to me, "We came here, it was almost just a scout encounter, and then there was some fighting, and the Nibru spiders covered their camp with all kinds of sticky cobwebs, and now the air is so humid that the cobwebs are almost covered with water droplets, and we tried to ignite those cobwebs, but the plan fell through for now. ”
"Jiga, do you have any good ideas?" asked Ernestine, who was beside him, with a curious expression.
"I don't, but they do!" I replied honestly, "but before I carry out that plan, I must give my knights a good rest, they just went through a battle yesterday, and I need to choose a good place to camp." ”
Zach resisted his curiosity, pointed to a glade behind him, and said to me, "Your camp can be built next to the Salta warriors, or you can choose the shore near the swampy sea, whatever you like." ”
"I'm going to walk through this spider camp and build the camp on the east side of the spider camp. I said.
When Zach heard me say this, he said hesitantly, "Over there...... Isn't it too far, if something happens, we need to go around the whole spider camp, I'm afraid you don't know how big this camp is, you see this white line on the shore, these places are their camps, at least a dozen kilometers away......"
