Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Head Tree

This is different from the previous assassination of Empress Ipeia in the Rocard Empire. At that time, Iperia and her contract dragons were turning their imperial capital upside down, making enemies everywhere, and the werewolves sent by the Truth Society were just fishing in the chaos at this time, and at this time, in the Pole Kingdom, King Duris was completely in control of his royal capital, and the Truth Society could not find an alliance that could help them, so they made sufficient preparations for the success of this assassination.

In order to paralyze the garrison of the city, they manipulated the beds in the barracks, causing the soldiers stationed in the barracks in the city to be besieged by poisonous spiders. The pro-guard is stationed in the palace, and the saboteurs are beyond the reach of the whip for the time being. However, even if the guards were more tenacious in fighting individually, they were too few in number, so they had to buy time and drag the support of the troops outside the city.

Naturally, the Society of Truth had come to this point, and they set up an interception on the way to reinforcements. Even the most brave and battle-hardened soldiers will inevitably be stunned when they see these never-before-seen monsters.

The monster wasn't some monster with fierce teeth and claws, but a large, immovable tree, with a pole as thick as three people hugging each other, and the highest part of the canopy was at least three or four meters above the ground. Growing up on a road where there was nothing until the night, blocking the intersection that was not very wide. There was nothing strange about a large tree, but on the pole of the big tree, three people were inlaid with three people who were still alive at equal distances on three sides. There are two men and one woman in total, naked from top to bottom, hands, feet, torso, neck, and the back of the head, most of their bodies have fused with the trees, and their skin has become plant fibrosis, and only the face still retains the original smooth skin of the human being. He opened his mouth and looked at the sky in great pain, babbling and wailing from time to time.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Many soldiers in the army were stunned, and their morale was blocked in front of this intersection.

"Arrow!" the commander of the army did not hesitate and gave a decisive order.

A rain of arrows like locusts covered the strange tree.

Most of the rain was blocked by the canopy of the trees, and a few arrows were shot all over the poles, and a few sharp arrows were nailed to the faces of people who had not yet been fibroidized, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

But such an attack also stirred the three faces of the tree, one of the men roaring angrily, the other laughing maniacally, and the woman weeping sadly.

"Hahahaha......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Ahh

The soldiers, who looked confused, suddenly smelled a strange aroma, and these soldiers did not notice that in the branches and leaves under the canopy, dozens of small white flowers had bloomed, and poisonous pollen was scattered into the air.

Suddenly, the faces of many people in the army changed drastically, some were howling and crying for no reason, some were laughing like crazy, and some were manipulated by inexplicable anger and frantically attacked their comrades. Immediately afterwards, the laughing people died one by one, and the weeping people cut themselves off one after another. The army, which was originally strong, suddenly had a chaotic formation, and the army's heart was shaken.

"Pour the water from the army's water bladder, pour a wet towel, and seal your mouth and nose!" The commander of the army hurriedly issued an urgent order to prevent the remaining normal soldiers from being recruited. Looking at the monster tree blocking in front of him, the commander was furious and gave another order: "All!

The soldiers, who covered their mouths and noses with damp cloths in time, temporarily unaffected by poisonous pollen, resolutely carried out the orders of the commander. A puff of flaming fire rose from the ground and covered the man-headed monster tree in front of him.

Fire is the nemesis of most trees, and the burning fire arrows fall from the sky like a meteor shower, igniting branches, leaves, stems, and poisonous white flowers, and the whole tree is bathed in a sea of fire, and the three people embedded in the poles also let out a terrible wail.

That's it, waiting here for the monster tree to burn to the ground - this is what the vast majority of the soldiers who are still alive think, but in fact it backfires, and because the monster tree is already on the verge of destruction, its final counterattack is also the craziest and deadliest.

"Po", "Po", "Po", "Po", "Po", "Po......

On the ground where the soldiers stood on their feet, dozens of tree roots suddenly broke through the ground, rolling up a large number of unprepared soldiers, and long and hard spikes grew from the roots, piercing the armor worn by the soldiers, directly into the flesh of the soldiers, and then greedily absorbing the nutrients inside the human body back into the body. The soldiers caught by the roots of the tree were like deflated balls, and in a matter of seconds they turned into brittle dried corpses, which then disintegrated on the roots and scattered on the ground around them. The bits and pieces of dried black meat are impossible to make people feel that they were still alive and kicking before.

The soldiers who had not yet been poisoned were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, and the appearance of the army, which had finally regrouped, was suddenly in chaos.

"Don't go back! Rush up and hack it to death!"

The commander of the army knew that he could not let this situation worse, and since he could not destroy the monster with a long-range attack, he would use the most direct means to completely destroy it! The commander raised his sword and rushed towards the strange tree in the first place.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Hearing the horrific name, Sophia felt the cold hairs all over her body stand up.

"Let's just name it for now, after all, it's a new species that has never appeared before. Christina smirked, as if the more annoyed Sophia became, the more smug she felt.

Since the fake "Alice" can't delay Sophia, it's up to Christina, the mastermind behind the scenes, to take action herself. When Christina appeared in front of Sophia in person, Sophia was inevitably a little stunned.

"Or we should have chosen a more accurate name, the 'Sacrificial Tree,' or something more appropriate. After all, this is a new species that can only be created by the most loyal young men and women of our Truth Society, who voluntarily sacrifice their bodies for sacrifice. Those Pole soldiers outside the city are just in time to test the combat effectiveness of these new species. ”

"That's enough! What do you think of humans? Humans are not monsters, and they are not the raw materials for you to cultivate monsters!

"We are evil demons, so may I ask Princess Sophia, do you know the true identity of Duris, whom you and your companions are trying to rescue?"

"Then you say!"

"Humph......"

Christina sneered.

After paying a heavy sacrifice, the reinforcements outside the city finally cut down the terrifying "human head tree" with their knives, and the narrow intersection was finally emptied.

However, what made the commander's scalp tingle was that there were 4 more such "head trees" on the way of his and his army.
