Act XLI. Shiloh's tactics
The sword flashed, stabbing the abscess of the cursed tree Alster, and a pale green viscous liquid gushed out, and the corrosive juice stained the snow, scorching the rotten leaves underneath, and emitting bursts of white smoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A low scream came from the creepy mouth of the cursed tree, and the longest arm swung down, but it was dodged by the soldiers who had already noticed, leaving only a deep mark in the snow, and in this gap, the long sword stabbed out again, attacking its softest place.
"Four, watch the rhythm, One, be careful, it's your turn......"
Before Shiloh knew it, he had already numbered the soldiers in the squad and began to command in the tone of the game, while blessing some soldiers who were a little slower with a divine light spell with an acceleration effect.
As for Verahill, she nimbly jumped over the canopy of the Curse Chase Tree, attacking from time to time, making the Curse Chase Tree angry but helpless.
In fact, what Shiloh didn't explain is that at this stage, the damage to other parts of the curse tree is invalid damage, even if the arm is cut off, it will regenerate immediately, and only the attack on those abscesses can act on the boss's blood bar, and accumulate enough damage to enter the third stage.
"Good, good."
Luluan had not seen those aristocratic officers commanding the army, but now this young man, in just a few minutes, had developed absolute leadership over this team that he was not very familiar with, and quickly and reasonably arranged tactics and commanded the battle.
And his job is not a non-commissioned officer from a military academy, just a chaplain?
If that's the case, then the country of Astre seems more complicated than it thinks, Luluan thought.
Originally, in her understanding, the kingdom of Astor was a kingdom with a brilliant and long history, but it had gradually declined. Now that it has been invaded by the emerging power of Windland, Astelle's appearance on the frontal battlefield is also in line with this perception.
Although the Speaker of Charandel and Yatra I of Astor have signed a peace and mutual assistance agreement, it is a thankless task for anyone to help this country that is about to enter the country, but some members of the Council are taking advantage of the chaos to grab a wave of benefits, and they have issued a voice in the parliament to cooperate with Wendland and carve up Aster.
Luluan thought that this was a decaying country, and it should be a lifeless country from top to bottom, but she didn't expect that there would be such a talent in this land.
"Mr. Shiloh is a match for dragons."
Princess Eliefils said, her cheeks flushing a faint crimson.
"Dragons?"
This surprised Luluan again, but the expression on Her Royal Highness the princess's face didn't look like she was lying, so Luluan didn't open her mouth to question it, but only silently remembered Shiloh in her heart. The name Ian Gray.
"Everyone, pay attention, if the curse tree stops moving and starts howling, everyone please leave its side as soon as possible!"
It's almost over, Shiloh silently calculates the damage in his heart, while loudly reminding everyone.
"What is this?"
Luluan, who didn't understand very well, showed a questioning expression, in her opinion, now we have a great advantage, facing the enemy who is delayed by being injured, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue, Shiloh's retreat order is simply unreasonable.
Of course, if Luluan had known the so-called AOE at the time of stage transition, she would not have such an idea.
As another abscess was punctured, the Cursed Tree stopped the movement of its five arms, and a low, angry wail came from its large open mouth, and Shiloh knew that it was the third stage.
"All hands retreat!"
The soldiers did not have a greedy knife, and immediately moved backwards, which made Shiloh quite comfortable, after all, when he was the commander of the team, there were always so many melee soldiers who liked to be greedy for output, and finally had to be treated to clean up the mess.
Almost as soon as the soldiers withered, a dark green mist spread from the body of the cursed tree, covering the surrounding area of fifteen yards, and it could be seen that all the plants and trees infected by the fog quickly withered and withered, turning into a decaying and dead land.
"How could it be ......?"
Luluan was stunned again as she looked at the back of the prayer in the frost blue robe.
How could he be so familiar with the habits of this monster, obviously both himself and him should have seen this monster for the first time, but Shilo's familiar appearance is like a veteran who has experienced thousands of battles with such a monster.
Luluan had only seen a similar situation once in Charandel, but that man was Charandel's unborn genius, known as the Chosen One's star of hope, who had awakened the stigmata at the age of his early twenties, and whose instincts for battle and use of his abilities were miraculous. And the young man in front of him was just an ordinary priest who could be seen everywhere in Aster, even if he was accompanied by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Aster, it couldn't hide the fact that he was only a bronze mid-rank.
With such a person, why did the kingdom of Astor fall to this point?
Luluan was still thinking, but the curse of the Great Tree Ulster had changed again.
The thorn-tangled arms spread out, the roots of the tree that had been pierced into the ground also broke through the ground, and the terrifying face gradually distorted, and Shiloh saw that the original hard bark had begun to gradually fall off, revealing the slimy and soft dark green flesh inside, and a few human twisted and painful faces could be faintly glimpsed. Then, dozens of thorns swung out like whips, heading straight at the surrounding soldiers.
The third stage is the emancipatory form.
During the transformation phase, a death mist that drains life force is released, and at the same time, the appearance of the tree demon disappears, and it is replaced by a corpse that is close to the main body.
This is a mass of flesh composed of countless painful faces, and you can glimpse the distorted faces, which are the creatures that the cursed tree Ulster has devoured over hundreds of years, including humans, elders, orcs, and even elves who live in seclusion, and the grief and anger that spans a hundred years are turned into its power, which is revealed in front of the eyes of Shiloh and others.
"Defense!"
Shiloh knew that a mere longsword could not defend against a thorny whip that could penetrate half an inch of steel, and this stage was also the easiest stage to attrition in the past game, so in order to quickly defeat the curse tree Ulster, he called out the other person's name.
"General Strass!"
