229. The wounded

The mangrove forests on the southern edge of the Black Forest act as a natural dam to prevent the swamp sea from encroaching on large areas of the Black Forest.

The 20,000 Treant Warriors stood in the mangrove forest along the Swamp Sea, and the Elder Dirham of the War Ancient Tree waved his hand and shouted at the 20,000 Treant Warriors: "Treants, go!"

These dryad warriors stepped into the swamp one after another, their countless well-developed root systems dug deep into the swamp mud, and it was obvious that this swamp could not form any obstacles to them, these treant warriors were not afraid of the swamp sea in front of them, and they walked side by side towards the depths of the swamp sea.

Ten thousand tree spirits acted at the same time, and there was a 'crunch' rumbling sound between the trees, each tree spirit warrior was like a giant beast coming out of the forest, and the majestic body of seventy or eighty meters high allowed them to swim side by side with the mountain giants, these tree spirit warriors were only two or three level wood monsters, although they had tenacious vitality and a burly body, but any tree spirit warrior lacked the ability to protect themselves.

Dryant warriors in the forest can animate the surrounding normal trees and let these normal trees protect themselves, and they can only throw stones and some basic common attacks except for 'Thorns' and 'Root Entanglement'.

In fact, as long as you leave the Black Forest, a normal constructed warrior can easily take on a dryad warrior.

However, there are nearly 20,000 Dryant Warriors who have entered the Swamp Sea at present, although they are slow, they are tall and long-legged, and the shallow Swamp Sea cannot even drown their developed roots, in my opinion, the Dryant Warriors entering the Swamp Sea, in a sense, is a full-scale invasion of the Swamp Sea by the Black Forest, and these Treant Warriors can even activate some of the mangrove forests along the coast and let them spread into the Swamp Sea, so that they can expand the territory of the southern region of the Black Forest.

In the last few days, I've learned a lot from talking privately with Elder Dirham, the Ancient Tree of War, who has some unique insights into many types of wood-based magic, and who knows exactly what to expect from every part of the Black Forest, and who told me about another native of the Hiero plane, the Wurms.

Because the Spider-Man Overseers like to eat fresh dragon meat and eggs, they are powerful, and they are a group of excellent dragon-slaying warriors, so when the Wurm Clan faces the Spider-Man Overseers, they have no choice but to escape.

Dressed in the most common bark outfit of the natives of the Black Forest, Morayar sat on the branch of the ancient war tree Weisman with Connie and Puyaka, and they were asking Weisman some questions about wood magic, and it was extremely rare for Morayar to have a detailed communication with an ancient war tree, after all, these masters of the Black Forest had some wood magic with the power of origin.

The Constructed Knights of the Legion of the North Wind stand atop the ruins of the ruined spider camp and watch the Dryant Warriors walk into the swampy sea.

This time, only the Treant Warriors entered the depths of the Swamp Sea to stop the Nibru Spidermen, and Zack's Constructed Knights and I did not go deep into the Swamp Sea, although I have the magic of 'walking on water', I can only keep these warriors under my command through the Swamp Sea, but I cannot let the Constructed Knights fight in the mire of the Swamp Sea, and divide the depths of the Swamp Sea with some dry land like islands.

Such islands may exist during the dry season, but in the rainy season, it is almost a luxury for travelers on the swampy sea.

Actually, I would also like to cross the swamp sea in front of me to see the Great Rift Valley on the other side of the swamp sea, but now is not a good time, after the Dryad warriors enter the swamp sea, our constructed knights will all stay along the southern part of the Black Forest to prevent the Nibru spiders in the swamp sea from luring the dryant warriors into the swamp sea, and suddenly kill back into the southern region of the Black Forest to wreak havoc on the Black Forest.

Zack's constructed knights from the provinces of Durva and Salta need to rest for two weeks at the ruins of the spider camp.

Blocking the east exit of the spider camp not only put Zack under the huge offensive pressure of the Nibru spiders, but also made Zack pay a considerable price for this blocking battle, many constructed knights need to recuperate for a week to two weeks, so Zach and Ernestin's constructed knights will stay on the ruins of the spider camp on the swamp and sea for a while.

For Zack, the strategic goal of leading the Constructed Knights on an expedition to the southern part of the Black Forest is to drive the Nibru Spider out of the Black Forest, and it would be better if he could drive the Nibru Spider out of the Hiero plane casually.

Now that Durva's warriors have completed their mission, Zach and Ernestin have already thought of retiring. For Zack, it was more important to consolidate the existing sphere of influence in the northern Black Forest. Another point that made Zack retreat was the long supply line of this expedition, and the material logistics regiment in Pereira City was able to move a large amount of supplies to the swampy sea in the southern Black Forest, which was almost the limit of this logistics team, although the victory in the battle could greatly compensate for the consumption of the war, but across this swampy sea, it was something that Zack did not want to think about.

But I don't think so, and I think this is the right time to expand the gains even further. If the Dryads achieve further victories in the Swamp Sea, I would even like to cross the Swamp Sea to attack the large stronghold built by the Nibru Spider on top of the Hot Sand Dam.

Count Desmond had no objection to this, he spent some merits to give the five second-turn knights in the knights a 'life guard', and also thought that in accumulating some merits, he would tattoo such a life magic pattern on the bodies of the other five second-turn knights in the knights.

The 'Life Guardian' Pattern has been fully utilized on these second-turn knights, this Life Pattern can continuously restore the physical strength and vitality of the Great Knights, especially for the Holy Shield Knights like Bendenict, this Life Guardian Life Pattern has almost raised his strength to a new level, so the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion still have a desire for dimensional war after driving the Nibru Spider Man into the swamp sea.

For me, the biggest advantage is that there is no logistical pressure, with the teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley, even if I raise 800,000 large stone bullets in a hurry, there is no pressure at all, and with Arya in the imperial capital to help me raise these military supplies, I just need to find a way to move those materials stored in the warehouse.

It's just that in the process of carrying these materials, a group of female orcs were exhausted, but they only rested in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley for three days, and their physical strength was fully recovered, so I have to praise the strong resilience of the orcs.

Retracting my thoughts, I stood on the shoulders of the Elder Dirham of the War Ancient Tree and asked it earnestly, "Later...... Will you turn this place into the Black Forest?"

Elder Dirham just laughed at this, and then said to me: "This is originally a part of the Black Forest, but there was a protracted war here, which destroyed the forest vegetation here, and was affected by the ban circle, since then, no trees have grown on this land, but now that the ban is lifted, I believe this place will soon become a lush forest." ”

I couldn't help but ask again about the melee, "Was it because of the melee of the Ancient Tree Spirit Clan that this place was banned?"

The wise man of the dirham did not hide anything, and replied calmly: "That's right, the swamp sea is the name set by the group of natives, we call this the ancient battlefield, when tens of thousands of ancient war trees gathered here, they turned this place into a scorched earth, the world tree punished those ancient war trees that provoked disputes, and arranged a forbidden magic circle in the thorn crater, all the ancient tree spirits in the Black Forest were grounded, so that this place can be settled for more than 5,000 years. ”

"So, this swampy sea won't be an obstacle for the Treant Warriors?" I asked Elder Dirham.

"Of course this will not happen, I have driven the Nibru spiders into the swamp sea, not to let them return safely to the hot sand dam, but to bury them in this swampy sea......" The wise man of the dirham said to me with confidence, and then very warmly invited me to say, "Do you want to come with us into the swamp sea and see how we can bury these nibru spiders in the swamp sea." ”

"Of course that's good...... I agreed without thinking about it, but then I immediately changed my attention and said a little helplessly: "Forget it, there are a lot of wounded warriors here, I want to stay and treat them, as a water magician, I can let more people survive." ”

I also plan to send a group of seriously injured Constructed Knights back to the Campbell Sanatorium in the Imperial Capital through the teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley, and I believe that with Sue's help, I should be able to save some more Constructed Knights.

"Well, in that case, then you can wait here for news of our victory!" said Elder Dirham of the War Ancient Tree with a smile at me.

Once all the Treant warriors had entered the Swamp Sea, Elder Dirham lowered me from its shoulders and led the other four War Trees to chase the fleeing Nebru Spider in the Swamp Sea.

It wasn't until the body of the Elder Dirham of the War Ancient Tree disappeared into the mist of the swampy sea that I withdrew my gaze and asked Morayar beside me, "How is the condition of the wounded over there Zack?"

"Their side is even worse than we expected, not only is there a certain amount of attrition, but there are also a lot of wounded, some of the seriously injured who will not be able to return to Pereira if they are not treated in time. Morayar frowned slightly and said to me.

It seems that Zach and Ernestin paid a terrible price to stop the Nebru spiders, but thankfully we won.

I hesitated for a moment before I said to Morayal, "Tell Zack and ask him to gather the seriously injured who have fallen into a coma, and say that I will set up a temporary magic teleportation array on my side and leave with the wounded first...... Forget it, you still have to confirm this matter personally, remember, we can only help those who are seriously injured this time, but those who can still survive, don't send them to me. ”

Every Constructed Knight is precious, and I decided to open the portal and send those badly injured Constructed Knights back to the Imperial Capital.

"Got it. Morayar was not surprised by my decision, but said to me: "It is still necessary for us to do this, I'm afraid that Zack and Ernestine's side have already noticed it, after all, we can lead these constructed knights to fight in the Black Forest without a logistics group, which is an incomprehensible thing in itself, I guess even if we don't say it, Zack and Ernestine's side will feel that we have a temporary magic array on our side." ”

It was only when Morayar said this that I realized my biggest hole in this fight.

So, I said to Morayal, "Then do you think I built the temporary magic array in a decent way?"

Morayar disapproved of this, and suggested to me, "It is better to be mysterious, and do not forget that the secrets of magicians do not like to be spied on." ”

I felt that she was very reasonable, so I agreed: "Okay, it is important to transfer the wounded, and you can help me keep an eye on it here, I am afraid that I will have to stay in the imperial capital for two days." ”

What I call asking her to stare at is the wounded barracks here, Morayar is a wood magician, and she has also learned some recovery healing spells, and there is no problem in healing some minor injuries, so she promised: "Don't worry, I will help you take care of the wounded here, don't question the professionalism of my wood magician." ”

When Zach heard that I was going to leave the Hierro plane with some of his seriously injured knights through a temporary magic teleportation array, he was not surprised at all, and he said with a grateful face: "No matter how much the teleportation cost is, I am willing to bear it! ”

"I can't guarantee that, I can only say do my best. "I said it very directly, to those

Although Zach said very arrogantly, 'I am willing to bear the teleportation fee no matter how much', but when he saw Morayar carrying over more than seventy heavily unconscious constructed knights one after another, his face suddenly turned green, and he was obviously overwhelmed by the huge teleportation fee he was about to pay.

Then, one after another, the orc warriors carried these heavily unconscious constructed knights into my cabin, entered the teleportation altar in Xinliu Valley through the portal of the cabin, and then reappeared in the warehouse in the airport town.

After I transported a huge amount of large stone bullets in this warehouse, I didn't have time to open the portal to the Imperial Capital, so the portal was here for the last time.

The sheer number of wounded meant that I needed to find some magic caravans to get them all back to the Imperial Capital, but the Magic Caravan in Airport Town was easy to hire......
