Chapter 63: Interview with the Tree Man
The "Flying Henan" turned the bow of the ship, and the commander of the orc fleet roared with a big knife to vent his war spirit, and his original green skin turned yellow, and he wanted to jump directly across the long sea.
The elves' massive battleship was getting closer, and the orc commander stopped walking back and forth. He bent his legs on the spot, and the raft continued to sink into the water under pressure, and was bounced up by buoyancy, and the orcs responsible for paddling on the raft were thrown into the water, and the higher they bounced, the orc commander did not have any instability, and he was able to lead the orc fleet with extremely strong force.
Standing on the bridge of the "Flying Henan People", looking at the commander of the orc fleet who was shouting and jumping in front of him, Gangzi's eyes were full of infinite contempt, "There is no steadiness that a commander should have, a three-masted battleship is just a three-masted battleship, and it scared him like that." I should really learn from my brother, in the face of several times the fleet with him, my brother sat firmly in the center, commanded calmly, pointed out the rivers and mountains, scattered beans into soldiers, sowed clouds and rain, waved his hand and the oars were wiped out, and then waved his hand without taking away a single cloud. ”
Just as Gangzi was considering whether to take the opportunity of poetry to compose a poem to commemorate this meaningful moment, the bow gun opened fire.
At this time, the chain ship had advanced to a distance of √ 100 meters from the orc's "flagship" raft, and the artillery was basically shooting in a straight line, and the trajectory became a straight line and hit the target in the blink of an eye. Swinging in the four columns of water were the debris of the raft and the screaming orcs, and the commander of the orc fleet was among them, the blood of the dismissing left leg spurting outward.
The loss of blood cleared his mind a lot, and this time he saw the launch of the bow gun of the "Flying Henan People" in its entirety.
First the fire, then the smoke, as if something was flying over, and then he felt his left leg disappear, and before he could react, he was thrown into the air, and everything happened in the blink of an eye.
"There's a dragon hidden inside!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The "Flying Henanese" opened fire again, overturning the wooden rows of the orc fleet's soul-carrying war drums, and then the ship's guns fired freely to rain cannonballs on all the big targets in front of them.
The drumming stopped. The orcs on the battlefield broke free from the influence of the war drums, their minds retreated from their frenzy, and fear began to set in at the sight of the elven chain of ships devouring the orc soldiers like meat grinders. A deafening roar emanated from the head of the massive battleship, black smoke and flames, as well as rising columns of water in front of it. This is definitely not an elven trick or trebuchet, there are no flying stones in the sky, this is a warship that imprisons the dragon, the sound is the roar of the dragon, the smoke and the fire are the breath of the dragon.
Fear shuddered, and the orcs found their aching strength weakening. They don't know that this is the after-effect of the soul war drums, they believe that it is the coercion of the legendary dragon. The orc soldiers' fighting spirit was completely broken, and not a single canoe attacked the chain of ships, and they mustered up the last strength they had to paddle desperately, trying to escape the terrifying battleship quickly.
But how could the canoe match the speed of the sailboats, and the sloops of the elven fleet on the periphery had blocked all the way out of the orc fleet.
Seeing that the orc fleet was gone, and the collapsed and scattered orc canoes no longer posed any threat to the elven warships, Gangzi ordered all the chain ships to untie the chains and move freely.
"Destroy all enemies, and the orcs should pay for their hubris. The price should be paid for the crimes they committed against the Treants, the elves love peace but are not afraid of war, kindness does not mean cowardice. In this battle, we must tell the orcs to experience the bravery of the elves, and let them know that daring to wage war against the elves is their worst decision! Offensive! Elves, we don't take prisoners, we avenge our treant brothers. ”
The desperate orcs threw down their weapons and surrendered to the elven warship and cried for help. Faced with the miserable orc soldiers, some elves lowered their bows and arrows. "A group of undisciplined guys, I have to train you well in the future." Gangzi complained. Give the order again to kill all orcs.
In the battle just now, he had deeply experienced the terrible power of the soul war drum, and the effect on the army was simply the same as his captain's skill "encouragement", and his "inspiration" could only act on one ship, and the soul war drum was indeed a large-scale domain effect. The frantic orc soldiers, inspired by the drums of the soul, stormed their chain ship one after another, and the chain ship had broken into three parts. If the "Flying Henan" hadn't destroyed the orc's soul war drum in time with the bow gun, the elven fleet would definitely have been damaged.
Gangzi, who lacks troops and major generals, can't afford to lose, so this orc fleet must be wiped out. A disappearance of the army without a single message is enough for the Orc Kingdom to be suspicious for a long time, and Gangzi just managed to build a real elven navy during this time.
"Slaughter Order!" Issued one after another from the flagship, even if the elves were unwilling, they could only re-aim their bows and arrows at the orcs floating on the sea. A massacre is underway, the water is dark red with blood, and a large number of sharks swim to the smell of blood.
Victory, a victory that was doomed before it even began.
When the elven fleet slowly sailed into the elven harbor from the open sea, they were greeted by cheers that resounded in the sky. Looking at the dancing elven children and the elven girls singing and dancing, the obscurity caused by the slaughter of orcs was swept away in the hearts of the elven crew, "In order to keep my relatives from falling under the butcher's knife of the orcs, I just did what an elf should do." ”
Three fleets in a row were wiped out in the battle with the elven fleet, especially the last attack, and not a single orc came back alive. Before understanding how powerful the elven fleet was, the orc kingdom stopped the formation of the canoe fleet, "Although we orcs are not afraid of death, we can't be thrown into the sea worthlessly, the canoe fleet is an extreme failure, we should build bigger warships, and the decks of our warships should be higher, so that our warriors can jump directly onto the deck of the elven warship, instead of suffering huge losses to climb the wall of the elven warship." ”
"But Your Majesty, it will take a long time to build a more warship, but our war with the elves?"
On the orc throne composed of jawbones, the orc king, decorated with various gems and shining brightly, said in a majestic voice: "Until a new fleet is formed, suspend the attack on the elves, and hurry up to improve the soul war drums, I don't want my army to uncontrollably stimulate the ancient power and end up all insane." ”
The orc army outside the elven forest retreated, and peace ushered in the elven kingdom. But everyone knows that peace will not last long, and the powerful and invincible orc kingdom will not be resigned to the defeat in front of it, and the next war will be even more intense.
At this time, the elven admiral Gangzi had his own treehouse in the elven city, and it was not far from Bucknar's home.
"Headache, headache, all the battleship drawings that my brother knows are not suitable for elves, what should I do?"
Gangzi threw a drawing out of the window in a ball, but a hairy hand quickly caught the paper. It was a capuchin monkey who unfolded the paper ball and looked at the lines on it inexplicably, then stuffed it into its mouth. But the unpalatable taste made it vomit quickly. Feeling deceived, the capuchin monkey was visibly upset, and it taunted Gangzi with its buttocks, then jumped to another branch and ran away.
"I was despised by the monkeys, but the elves lacked an effective means of attacking from a distance, what could I do?" Gangzi muttered to himself after being despised.
The most important equipment of a navy is the warship, and the population of the elves determines that they cannot fight cannon fodder and melee combat like the orcs, and long-range destruction of the enemy is the most suitable means of attack for the elves. However, the long-range attack method that the elves can use is the bow and arrow, the range is short and not mentioned, and the attack power is too insufficient. Orcs can calmly approach the elven warship by hiding behind the side of the ship, and can attack the elven deck with a shield on top. The first thing to do with the orc fleet was to sink their ships and not give them a chance to get closer. Pierce the hull, the bow and arrow can't do it; The trebuchet is too large and requires space to throw. The sailboats were full of sails, and after the hull layout was replanned, a brig could fit one or two trebuchets at most, and the attack density was too low. It is not possible to effectively kill enemy ships.
Cannon-making? Gangzi doesn't understand!
Just as Gangzi was thinking about a replacement for the artillery, Christol jumped in through the window and said happily, "My lord." I have good news for you. ”
Just as Gangzi was about to ask, an elf girl climbed up from the vine ladder of the tree house: "Brother, you are playing tricks again, saying that you are not allowed to climb trees, and this is very impolite." ”
Coming in through the door was Elizabeth, 25 years of time had passed on her face and there was basically no trace of it, her pure face revealed a natural fragrance, and her jade-like skin was white and red.
Seeing Gangzi staring at her, Elizabeth's face turned even redder, and she saluted Gangzi and said, "Hello Gangzi, are we disturbing your work?" ”
Gangzi came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, what are you looking for me for?" I heard Kristol say it was good news, and I need it so badly right now. ”
Kristol jumped down from the window, picked up the fruit from the table and stuffed one into his mouth, and said as he chewed, "Didn't you tell me to inquire about souls?" Of course, the undead are familiar with the soul, but the low-level undead can't communicate, and the high-level undead are not easy to see, so it is impossible to understand the soul of the 'Flying Henan People' through the undead. ”
"Is that good news?"
"After listening to me, it's not only the undead who can communicate with souls, there are people who can communicate with souls in the current elf kingdom."
I heard that someone can communicate with the soul, Gangzi was overjoyed, and another purpose for him to come to the Jade World was to find the soul of the "Flying Henan People" and promote it to the legendary level.
"Who, tell me quickly." Gangzi said urgently.
"I'm going to be a captain." Kristol actually started to bargain, he had been with the Black Sail pirates for too long.
Elizabeth on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and she replied: "It's the treemen, their perception is very powerful, and the ancient treemen can communicate with the soul. ”
Gangzi gloated and said to Christol: "You will be my retinue for the rest of your life." Walk...... Let's go talk to the Treant. ”
Christol waved his fist at his sister in demonstration, and then slid down the tree house behind Gangzi: "My lord, we can talk about the captain's matter again, the brig is not good, and the high-speed dhow is still barely acceptable." ”
Elizabeth playfully stuck out her tongue and followed her brother out of the treehouse.
Treants don't like to move, so they live in groups by a stream on the outskirts of Elven City, not far from the dwarven huts, at the normal speed of the treants, which is a day's journey.
Led by Christol, Gangzi went to the Treant Settlement. It's a dense forest, and from the outside, it's hard to tell which one is a treeman. The real tree.
Christol walked around, and he couldn't tell the difference between a tree and a treeman, so he had no choice but to shout in the woods: "The elven naval admiral Gangzi came to visit the treeman tribe, did you wake up and say a word?" ”
Soon the woods were filled with whispers.
"It's Gangzi, the Gangzi who annihilated the orc fleet!"
"He avenges our tree race and is our friend."
"Yes, we should thank him for the friendship of our Treants."
The tree people spoke, and there were voices everywhere, and Gangzi still didn't know which one was the tree man. At this time, a flower crown was rolled by two rattans and put on Gangzi's head, and he realized that the big tree beside him was a tree man: "I express my deep sympathy for what happened to the tree people. No kind-hearted race will forgive the evil deeds of the orcs, the evildoers will be punished in the end, the elven kingdom will carry out the war against the orcs to the end, and the orcs will also experience the suffering experienced by the tree race. ”
"Thank you very much for everything you have done for the Treants, I wonder if Your Excellency needs our service in the Treant Forest this time?"
Referring to the purpose of coming here, Gangzi said: "That's right, my battleship is the 'Flying Henanren' parked in the harbor, which is a battleship with a soul. But his soul is in a state of similar sleep, I heard that the tree people can communicate with the soul, can you come with me to the port to communicate with the 'Flying Henan People'. See how you can bring out his soul? ”
"I'm so sorry, I can't."
Gangzi didn't expect that he would get such an answer with full hope.
The Treant continued, "Don't get me wrong, the soul is the most mysterious thing, and not all Treants can communicate with the soul. According to the time and strength of our survival, we tree people are divided into seedling species, young species, adult species, ancient species and ancient species. Only the most perceptive ancient species can communicate with souls to explore the secrets of souls, and I'm sorry that I'm just an adult and can't do what you ask. ”
It's really a wooden head, which scared my brother.
"Then please introduce me to an ancient tree man."
"Alas......"
A sigh and a sigh made Gangzi raise his heart to his throat, and there was an ominous premonition.
"When covering the treant race into the Elven Forest, all the ancient species were killed by the orcs......"
"Ah......h
"Only Pabo Assabo escaped."
"Oh."
"However, he is seriously injured and is dormant, and we can't wake him up."
Gangzi really wanted to strangle this talking roller coaster tree man to death now, "Where is Pabo Assabo now, can we go and see him?" ”
"Of course, you're a friend of the tree people, and Pabo Asa will like your visit."
The treeman's rattan pointed Gangzi in a direction, and Gangzi took Christol and Elizabeth along the rattan, and when there was no road, another rattan stretched down and pointed in one direction.
Gangzi and the two elves followed the guidance of the tree people into the depths of the woods, and came to the side of five huge trees, four trees thirty meters high surrounded a giant tree with a height of more than fifty meters. It's just that the current situation of the giant tree is obviously not good, the trunk is full of burning marks, the branches are sparse and there are marks of cutting down with knives and axes everywhere, and the sparse and sparse dozen leaves seem to fall off soon.
This should be Pabo Assabo, seeing that this kind of injury is really no different from death, Gangzi also gave up the idea of calling this ancient tree planter to communicate the soul for the "Flying Henan People". It was a long journey from here to the dock, and the old tree man was afraid that he would die completely if he moved it, and the reason why he was still alive was entirely due to the tenacious vitality and ...... of the plant
At this time, Gangzi found that there were five spirits under the tree of Pabo Assabo who were infusing him with the power of nature, and the green power was infused into the old treeman's body, and he saw two leaves growing from the branches of Pabo Asabo.
The elves are healing Pabo Asab?
Gangzi wanted to take a closer look, but a rattan blocked their way.
"Dear Lord Gangzi, friend of the Treants, please wait a moment to visit Pabo Asab, the elven friend is treating him."
Gangzi stopped and said to the tree man who stopped him, "I'm sorry, I apologize for my recklessness, how long will it take for Pabo Assabo to heal?" ”
"We don't know that the natural power possessed by the elves can help Pabo Assabo's recovery, but the natural power of the elves can only act on Pabo Assabo's torso, but it does not help his soul much, and without a strong soul, most of the natural power on the torso will be lost. Therefore, the natural power of the elf can only tell Pabo Assabo's situation not to deteriorate, and the real recovery needs to depend on himself. ”
"Pabo Assabo hurts the soul?"
"Yes, the soul war drums made by the orcs with the bodies of our treants can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the orcs, and the soul power of the ancient tree planters can affect the effect of the soul war drums, in order to keep the tree people from being pursued by the mad orcs, all the ancient tree planters exhausted their soul power to cover the escape of the treemen, and in the end, only Pabo Asabo insisted on escaping into the elven forest, and his soul was also seriously damaged and fell into a deep sleep."
Gangzi asked without giving up, "How can I heal Pabo Asabo's soul so that he can fully recover." ”
"The purest force of nature, like the power of nature flowing in liquid, only needs a drop to revive Pabo Assabo, but the elf cannot purify the force of nature, so he can only hang his life and wait for him to wake up by himself."
Hearing this, Gangzi's eyes lit up.
Hahaha...... (To be continued.) )
