215. The open web

After sending all the natives into the valley of the willows, and finally transporting all the thirty-three giant spiders back to the valley, Kig and I set out again and headed for the stronghold of Trum overnight, which was less than thirty kilometers away from Rum, and if we marched at the pace of a rapid march, we would arrive at Trum in three hours.

In fact, it couldn't have been so fast, because it was late at night in the Black Forest, and the other thing was that the whole road was mountainous, and none of us were familiar with the road, and we were in danger of going the wrong way as we climbed the hills, so I estimated that we would arrive in Trum in the early morning.

However, this time Kige and I did not act alone, in this dangerous jungle, there are murderous opportunities lurking everywhere, maybe there is a giant spider hidden on top of a big tree, their cobwebs will be the biggest obstacle to the night march, Karantso and Ruka with twenty orc warriors transferred from the Xinliu Valley, also follow us.

The group of orc warriors before this, the orcs who had experienced the annihilation battle in the stone forest and the hunting outside the sentry post, had all returned to Xinliu Valley to rest.

These twenty orc warriors are a group of new forces, they have just completed the task of hunting goblins, resting in the underground cave for most of the day, at this time have sufficient physical strength, every orc warrior is fully armed, according to Bernd's original words: the armor level of the Green Empire and the warriors of the Pai Plateau, the perfect combination of these two points, will have extraordinary combat effectiveness.

The orc warriors of the Pai Plateau have always been known for their bravery, they are not afraid of death, and they are proud to die on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Grimm Empire are known for their excellent armaments, and the troops of the Grimm Empire can be guaranteed logistics no matter where they arrive.

This time, Louis provided me with the best crossbows in the world, and at the same time, we captured a large number of black iron spears in the hands of the spider-man warriors, each orc had a leather armor made of demon antelope skin, and it can be said that the equipment on the body was armed to the teeth.

This is also a group of well-trained orc warriors who have been following the dwarven advisor Bernd in the underground caverns for the past month, and they are well adapted to night battles, as many of the underground caverns are pitch black.

Therefore, these orc warriors walked through the forest at night, without any discomfort, and quietly alternately covered the advance.

"There's a spider-man warrior coming up ahead!" Takama said to me in a whisper as he jumped down from a large tree and ran to my side.

Kentoya, the leader of the orc team on the side, was shocked and said, "How is it possible, our scouts have not sent an alarm!"

At this moment, the orc warriors who were walking in the front suddenly stopped, and the entire team followed suit, and immediately news came from the front of the team: three spider-man scouts had been found in the dense forest ahead.

The orc warriors set their eyes on Karantso's body, no matter where Karantso was, as long as Karantso was there, she would always be the focus of these orc warriors' attention, and among her orc warriors, she had a high prestige.

In order to save the group of orcs who were almost starving to death in the city of El, Karantso took the six-year-old little Ella and sold himself in the slave market, a move that won the respect of all orcs, in the eyes of the orcs, freedom was more important than anything, and no orc wanted to be a slave.

"Prepare to ambush them, don't let them run away, prepare tripping ropes and huge nets in front!" Karantso said to the orcs.

With these orc warriors joining the team, we don't need to deliberately avoid these spider-man scouts, on the contrary, we can even become a falcon team, in this black forest, hunt those lone spider-man warriors at will, obviously, now with only three spider-man scouts, we can no longer form any threat.

Instead, we decided to arrest the three spider-man scouts.

......

The three spider-man scouts rushed from the depths of the Black Forest, and in the middle of the night, the sound of running was messy, their claws dug into the soft humlite soil, easily carrying up large chunks of clay and raising them all over the sky, the spider-man warriors with bodies like giant tanks were not suitable for running in the Black Forest, their claws were too sharp.

I think it's the volcanic rocks or the rocky walls of the Great Gobi that are more conducive to the spider-man warriors running.

As long as there were no giant trees in front of them, the low bushes would not be able to hinder their pace at all, and the huge belly would crush everything.

The lizard maid Takama's hearing acuity surpassed that of these orc wolf warriors, and she found the enemy's trace five breaths earlier than these orc warriors, which made these orc warriors in the team suddenly impressed, the orc team is a group respected by the strong, and all the orc warriors worship the strong, so when they looked at Takama again, there was a little more respect in their eyes.

A huge arm-thick chain crept between the two giant trees, the rope was a meter above the ground, and the ends were completely wrapped around the trunk.

The orc warriors were lying in ambush on both sides, each holding a strong crossbow in their hands, everyone held their breath, and the tremor of a heavy truck crushing the ground became stronger and stronger, and suddenly three huge black shadows appeared in the dark forest, they were holding black iron spears in their hands, and they rushed over.

The spider-man scout in the middle stood a position forward, and when he was about to run to our ambush site, his head covered in black armor seemed to hesitate a little, but they couldn't stop as they ran.

Probably because he felt that this forest area was too quiet, and the chirping of those birds, beasts and insects all disappeared, the spider-man scout who was the leader just wanted to slow down, but when his spider legs crossed forward again, he suddenly mixed on a tough rope, and the entire iron cable stopped all his eight spider legs, but the bulky body still rushed forward with the huge inertia.

There were several loud cracking sounds from the spider-man scouts, the creaking sound of the iron rope being tightened under great pressure, and the giant tree being bent by the force of the iron cable after being tightened, all of which made people feel trembling all over their bodies, and the city was instantly connected.

The iron rope was like a taut bowstring, under the huge inertial impact of the spider-man scout, it was pulled backwards, and the main trunks of the giant trees on both sides were pulled backwards, and the body of the spider-man scout running in front was directly separated from the eight spider legs, and the frightened spider-man scout's body slid forward against the ground.

The two spider-man scouts who ran a little further back took the opportunity to escape, because after the spider-man scouts in front of them tripped over the rope, the spider-man scouts behind reacted very quickly and jumped directly into the air, avoiding the interception of the rope.

However, they didn't know that the moment they jumped high from the ground was the best time for the orc warriors who were ambushed on both sides to make a move.

Twenty strong crossbows were shot out in turn, and the sharpest armor-piercing crossbow arrows were all submerged into the body of the spider-man scout, because it was in the dark night, the spider-man scout was in a state of speed, and the crossbow arrows had no accuracy, but the spider-man scout's body was very huge, and the ambush location was close at hand, so it was very difficult to shoot a little miss.

The spider-men hissed in a fit of rage, but the orc warriors were not afraid of this, and when they saw that the crossbow bolts did limited damage to the spider-man scouts, they jumped out from behind the grass and threw the large iron spears in their hands as javelins.

Because there were only three people on the other side, Karantso's strategy was to kill them with all his might without leaving them alive, so the orc warrior threw the big iron spear in his hand after all five rounds of crossbow arrows were fired.

The iron spears became so difficult to catch in the darkness of the night that there was no way to resist them.

Only the crisp sound of the armor cracking, the 'poof' sound of the big iron spear piercing into the body, the two spider-man scouts were already destined to embark on the road of death the moment they jumped up.

Countless crossbow arrows shot into their bodies, causing them to lose all their keen senses in severe pain.

Then those big iron spears flew in on the momentum, and the spider-man scouts were powerless to stop them, and the moment they landed, those big iron spears poured directly into their bodies, like iron drills piercing their bodies and nailing them to the glade.

As soon as the battle began, it ended in an instant.

Those orc warriors gathered around, took out the plate axe from their waists, walked into the three spider-man scouts, without any hesitation, quickly split the tough abdominal carapace of the spider-man scouts, and then the orc warriors took the opportunity to put their long knives in, cutting off all the heart-beating heart edges in the spider-man scout's abdominal cavity, and those purple blood immediately gushed out.

The heart of the Spider-Man Scout is the most important organ in their body, just like the engine in an armored car, as long as all the oil circuits of the engine are destroyed, the entire engine will completely shut down.

There are also orc warriors who quickly jumped on the back of the spider-man scout, and used an axe to split the spider-man scout's head and take out the black *** crystal inside.

Our team then quickly disappeared into the Black Forest, leaving behind only the corpses of three broken spider-man scouts.

These three spider-man scouts probably didn't think that after thoroughly cleaning all the surrounding outposts, such a team would appear in the Black Forest, hiding in the shadows to ambush them, and it was their carelessness that allowed us to kill them so smoothly.

......

Little by little, the light of dawn brightened the dark Black Forest.

In the morning, the forest was completely shrouded in a hazy mist, and the mist that rose from the ground was blown away by no wind, making the forest feel like a fairyland.

Taking advantage of the fog in the wooded area, our team quickly trimmed it up, hastily ate breakfast, and let the orc warriors rest in place under the trees for a while.

And I, Qige and Karantso, climbed to the top of the crown of the tallest giant tree, cut off all the lush branches and leaves of the giant tree, and stood on the branch, and the vision in front of us suddenly opened up, and the surrounding sea of trees came into view.

The two mountains in the distance converged like two giant dragons not far ahead, and at the intersection of the mountains converged a dangerous peak, and halfway up that dangerous peak, a huge fortification made of huge boulders was hidden in the mountain, and the blockhouse, the sentry post, the watchtower, and the solid city wall made the fortification seem impregnable.

The Trump stronghold, among the twelve large strongholds outside Tanton, should also be considered one of the top strongholds.

Seeing the faint smoke rising from the stronghold in the morning mist, a tattered imperial flag still flying in the wind, my heart hanging in the air fell to the ground suddenly, sure enough, as I thought, the Trump stronghold has not been captured by those spider-man warriors, but I think that the days of the imperial warriors in the trum stronghold should be difficult recently.

"The castle on the hill in front of me should be the Trump stronghold!" I exhaled, longing to fly over at this moment, but I didn't expect that after this thought just germinated in my heart, the shoulder blades behind me felt a slight itch, and then this abnormal situation disappeared immediately.

I rubbed my numb face with both hands, dispelling the sleepiness that my body was used for.

Kig also looked at Trump expectantly, with a flash of excitement in his eyes, and then said to me, "Wait for Takama to come back and see what kind of news she can bring us!"

At this time, there was some commotion among the orc squads under the tree, as if they had experienced a sudden battle, but before we could react, the battle below was over.

The rest of us slid down from the giant tree one after another, but Kig was the most relaxed, only blessed himself with a very simple wind magic 'slow fall technique', which fluttered down like a leaf.

When I got to the bottom of the tree, I realized that the orc team had just encountered a giant spider that was ready to hunt, obviously this giant spider regarded the team as an ordinary Grimm Empire soldier team, and the five giant spiders took advantage of the cover of the mist to surround and kill together, and were discovered by the surrounding dark sentinels, and then the entire orc team was dispatched, but all these giant spiders were hunted down.

Because we are already on the outskirts of the Trump stronghold, here, we may meet those spider-man warriors besieging the Trump stronghold at any time, so in order to better hide our whereabouts, we must kill all the spider-men and giant spiders as much as possible to keep the team hidden.

Soon after, Takama, who had gone out to survey the terrain, returned safely.

Her face looked very serious, although this lizard-man maid rarely smiled, but in this black forest, she always kept her mood calm, rarely had such a serious expression, it seemed that the situation in the Trump stronghold was not optimistic.

We got together, Takama squatted directly on the ground, drew two lines on the flat ground to represent the two mountains, and then at the intersection of the two lines, a small white pebble represented the Trump stronghold, and then scattered some small stones around the Trump stronghold, looked at me and said: "In the forest area ahead, there are many spider-man warriors in ambush, like a big web, waiting for us to walk in......"
