Chapter Ninety-Three: The Tree God
It was a sound that didn't belong to any kind of creature in the world, and it upset the listener, as if a worm was gnawing at the cochlea.
"Ahh Everyone present, including Kailu, couldn't help but cover their ears.
At the same time, they noticed a chilling gaze staring at them.
They couldn't help but look in that direction, only to see that the human face on the ancient tree that was still sleeping just now opened its blood-red eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.
Sigmar, the god of trees, has awakened!
"Everyone! Be careful......"
Just as Kayilu was about to give a warning, she suddenly remembered what had just happened.
Kayilu immediately turned his head to see that the knights of the fifth detachment who had fallen to the ground had all risen from the ground, they were like mollusks, squirming their legs, hugging their teammates who had just come to help them, and then, an incredible scene appeared.
Sharp branches grew from the chests of these men, piercing their teammates' bodies.
A puddle of blood gradually spread across the floor.
"How could it be ......"
Several knights, whose bodies had been impaled by the branches, stared at them in disbelief and slowly fell.
And the knights who attacked them...... No, it was supposed to be the monsters, but they just looked at them indifferently, letting the blood stain themselves, and not looking at them again.
"Damn, a step too late." Kayiru said with chagrin.
She should have been able to see this trap, because she knew that since the plant-type demonic beasts couldn't move their bodies, they basically relied on various trap skills to lure others and make the target lose their ability to move before hunting.
This Warcraft should be no exception.
In her hometown of Wight Island, there is a small monster called the beast-eating grass, which will collect the prey they have swallowed into the stomach bag to digest it, and then throw a special seed that will grow into the exact same posture as the prey, and go further away to lure the prey population to the hunting area of the animalivorous grass, so that the animalivorous grass can continue to hunt.
And the trick of the tree god in front of him should be similar.
If you're not mistaken, it probably used its ability to create these monsters after eating the missing knights and luring the rest of the people.
"Leave them, everybody! Fast! These people are not my companions! It's a monster! Seeing his companions fall one by one, Gulha quickly reacted and shouted.
The Knights walked away in disbelief from these monsters with the faces of their companions and their bloodstains.
"Damn monster, you can play such a little trick!"
"Hey, just kidding, the people of the fifth team are already ......!"
The knights glared at the monsters with surprise and anger, eager to pounce and kill them as soon as possible.
However, they did not act immediately, but calmly waited for orders. They know what they're facing right now.
Not only did the preemptive attack fail, but the combat power of the own side was also weakened, which can be said to be the worst start.
In such a situation, how can you mess with yourself?
"Everyone, set up according to the plan!"
Gulha shouted loudly.
Although the current situation is bad, it is still expected.
There are seven deceased, not team members who carry magic props, no problem, it's not serious.
Gulha thought to herself.
"The first and second detachments cover! The third detachment is on alert! Team 4 Get ready! ”
Gulha's order quickly reached the ears of the knights, who immediately split into four teams.
Kailu wasn't part of their plan, so she chose to line up in the third detachment and follow the actions of those around her.
“!!”
The face of the Ancient Giant Tree let out the same roar as it had just been, and a green mist emanated from its body, and this mist spread all around, enveloping the corpses of the knights who had just been killed by the monster.
The next moment, the body disappeared without a trace, and in its place, a small sapling grew on the ground.
The sapling grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally grew into a monster that looked exactly like the deceased.
These monsters clenched their weapons in their hands as if they were dead, but from the white eyes they could tell, they were not human at all.
"I see, is this how this bastard uses our companions to produce its puppets......" Gulha snorted.
Judging from the structure of the dungeon, it is not impossible to use gas to penetrate the walls and fill the entire dungeon, and the knights of the fifth detachment may have been swallowed by this fog after they disappeared and died in battle, so they will be used.
At the same time that the monster puppet of the tree god Sigma was developed, the knights also set up their positions.
There were a total of thirty knights in the first and second teams, and their whole bodies burst out with battle qi representing their respective attributes, and rushed towards the direction of the tree god with the knight's sword in hand.
They raised their swords aloft and unleashed their charging skills.
The target is a monster that looks exactly like their companion in front of them!
"Accept the sanctions! Counterfeit! One knight struck with a shield and flicked the monster's sword away, while another sliced in from the side and slashed off the monster's head.
However, the monster did not die, but remained standing, and two whip-like vines grew from the severance of its neck and threw it at the two knights.
The knight with the shield immediately rushed forward and defended it with his shield, but was knocked to the ground.
Fortunately, a shield-wielding companion appeared behind him and helped him cut down the vines so that he could regroup.
"Don't take it lightly, I'll help you block in front, you attack quickly!"
"Understood!"
In this way, the knights of the first and second detachments formed a defensive line and blocked the enemy's advance. If there is an enemy who accidentally breaks the siege, ten knights of the third detachment are responsible for clearing it.
“*& amp; amp; amp; $!!! ”
Sigmar, the god of the trees, roared, and though its limbs were still wrapped in sealed iron chains, it could still use magic.
It shook its body, its eyes emitted a green light, and it saw several magic arrays appear under the feet of the knights of the first detachment, and then a large tree burst out of the ground, and the thick trunk stretched out branches as sharp as blades from the inside!
"Ahh
Although the knights noticed something unusual, they were stabbed because they couldn't dodge it in time.
More than a dozen people were wounded, and three were killed instantly.
"Bastard!" Seeing this, Gurha let out a loud shout, and a breath of earth erupted from his body, his fighting spirit attribute was earth, which could greatly strengthen his own strength, and he swung a sword and forcibly split the big tree into two parts.
"Fourth detachment! Hurry up and attack! ”
Although Gulha's efforts to turn the tide saved the lives of some knights, it did not change the essence of the situation, the attack just now caused the first and second detachments to suffer heavy losses, and lost a lot of combat power, if you don't act quickly, this defense line will collapse immediately.
"Quick! Fast! ”
At the end of the battlefield were the knights of the fourth detachment, a total of twelve men, each with a bag tied to their waists, which contained the magic weapon prepared by the knights for this war.
They all stood up straight, unloaded the bag from their waists, held the bag in their left hand, reached into the bag with their right hand, chanted a spell in their mouths, and then took out a few fiery red crystals and threw them in the direction of the monster.
The red crystals streaked through the air in a beautiful parabola and fell at the monster's feet, exploding one after another.
The essence of the tree god is a plant-type monster, and the monsters it creates are naturally the same, very afraid of fire, as long as there is a little fire source, it will be ignited.
Therefore, the next moment when the fiery red crystals turned into flames and ignited under the feet of the monsters, the grass that seemed to be burned by the sparks of these monsters was burned to the ground.
Sigma, the god of the tree, noticed the decrease in his subordinates, and immediately released some green mist, and several small saplings rose from the ground in the area covered by the mist, quickly sprouting into the same monster as he had just touched. But before they could get close to the enemy, they were burned by the explosion of flames created by the red crystals that were constantly being thrown.
"Haha! Deserve! Gulha roared excitedly, as if she saw victory at hand.
The crystal they just threw out is called the Fire Stone.
It is a consumable item sold in magic shops that can be used even by people who don't know magic, so it is very expensive in the market. As long as you throw one of the two short words chanting [Burst Flame, Burning], you can emit a power similar to that of a low-level fire-type magic - Small Burst Flame, and if you throw ten fire stones together, it has the power of a medium-level magic - Fireball Magic. If it is like this, dozens of pieces will be dropped, and it is said that it can reach the power of fire-based high-level magic, the Fire Roaring Bomb!
The Roar of Fire is a widespread, powerful spell of destruction that is generally only used on the battlefield and can cause at least a hundred casualties if released in dense crowds.
And now, the members of the Knights have a total of nearly two hundred fiery stones in their bags, which are purchased from all the magic shops in Yovel by spending all the assets of the entire Knights, plus the "borrowed" property from the city lord's treasury without permission.
With so many fiery stones, this is equivalent to being able to unleash a powerful spell like the Fire Roar Bomb nearly ten times in a row.
With such a powerful attribute restraint attack, the knights all believed that they would definitely win!
