Chapter 233: Durian Forest, Hey Durian Forest, ambushed millions of divine soldiers
In May, the tall and straight durian trees are already hung with huge durians, and the durians here will be harvested after a while.
The reason why Durian City got its name is because the places within ten kilometers around the city are basically planted with durian-based fruit forests.
The durian pulp in this world contains a large amount of nutrients and a small amount of fire elements, which has the functions of killing parasites in the human body, removing the wind element invading the body, and promoting the absorption of other drug components, and is the main raw material of many medicines.
The most important thing is that the flesh of durian is sweet and delicate, especially after the flesh is directly frozen, it is a good product to cool off in summer.
In the shade below the durian forest, where the canopy almost covers the sky, a variety of perennial medicinal herbs that like yin and hate yang are interplanted.
Long-lived elves are less interested in annual cash crops, preferring perennial crops that they don't have to manage often.
Walking on the road between the durian forests, there is a feeling of walking in the deep mountains and old forests. If it weren't for the elves patrolling the forest often, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before the demonic beasts in the western forest would come here to settle down.
The fishmen who were two or three kilometers apart and marched towards the north with a smile and a smile, and they did not encounter decent resistance for several days, which made them no longer nervous at the beginning.
Eugene didn't pay much attention to this, the elves retreated north, indicating that there would be a fierce battle under Durian City, and now take advantage of the pre-war time to let the soldiers relax, so that they can recharge for the next big battle.
A few fishmen joked about a young fishman who tried to pick a durian just now, and although the smell in the immature durian was not so strong, it was enough to dissuade all the fishmen.
Charles, covered in branches, lay behind a bush of unknown medicinal herbs, waiting for this team of nearly 10,000 fishmen to pass.
On Charles's side, in addition to the members of the assault detachment, there were reinforcements from Durian City.
A team of 500 people walked into the ambush circle, and a bird's cry representing the beginning of the attack wafted over the durian forest.
Several priests of the Temple of Life quietly knelt on one leg and whispered prayers to the God of Life to perform their magic spells.
A moment later, several rays of divine power emitting green light flowed out of the bodies of these priests like water, and sank into the durian trees on both sides of the road.
The durian trees trembled suddenly, and then, as if they had turned into animals, they rushed towards the fish-man team with their roots as their legs, their trunks as their bodies, and their branches as their arms.
Charles, who saw the "Tree Man Technique" for the first time, looked confused, this magic technique should be called "Tree Touch Surgery", right? He didn't know that this was actually a weakening effect by the priests in order to be able to control more trees and become tree people with limited divine power.
Spit and complain, but the power of this "durian tentacle monster" cannot be underestimated.
The harpoons used by the fishmen can only pierce a hole in the bodies of these durian tentacles, and the harpoons cannot be pulled out if they are forced. These small holes did not affect the trunk of the tree, which was thicker than Churchill's waist for an unknown number of years.
The branches of the durian tree swept through the fish-man team like tentacles, and the durian fruit on the branches smashed the fish-man's head open like a meteor hammer.
Sometimes several fish-men work together to stop a branch, and then another branch falls on the head.
Many fishmen use magic to bombard these durian tentacles, but water magic doesn't have much effect on these magically enhanced trees. Even if they are blown in two, they will only break but not stiffen, and will still wave branches and roots to kill the fishmen.
If you use fire magic, you are simply enchanting them, and those fishmen are burned to death by the burning branches, and these durian tentacles will not stop attacking until they are completely burned.
Sadly, very few of the fishmen practiced fire-based magic, and as soon as they used fire-based magic, they were killed by arrows fired from a distance.
At this time, the team behind the palace was already in disarray, unable to organize an effective formation. Some fishmen want to escape into the durian forest, but they are afraid that there will be more durian tentacles inside. And the fish-men who tried to return to the front were also stopped, and they couldn't come for a while.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Charles and the others immediately rushed out of their hiding place and strangled the fish-men in small teams.
In addition to the assault detachment of the 168th Brigade and the priests of the Temple of Life, there were also many militiamen from Durian City who participated in the ambush.
Since Lin Hai is to the west of Durian City, although the demonic beasts on Lin Hai's side are weaker than the core area, they are also relatively weak.
The militia that uses Durian City as a base all the year round to exterminate the Warcraft in the forest and protect the adventurers of the railway is easy and pleasant to kill the enemy in such an environment, and these panicked fishmen are much easier to deal with than Warcraft.
At the same time, the fish-man contingent within a radius of several kilometers was attacked almost simultaneously.
According to the feedback from the battlefield trial, the directional mines and jumping mines were redesigned and adjusted, and the strikers of the fishmen were dealt a fatal blow.
Named "Charles' Broadsword", the directional mine has a slightly larger charge and a slightly larger steel ball, giving the steel ball that sweeps through the Fishman team enough kinetic energy to pierce the Fishman's armor and then destroy its body tissue.
Even if a fish-man puts on a magic shield in time, those steel balls can blast it into an overload and shatter in an instant.
So today the "broadsword" on the side of the road is divided into two explosions to ensure a lethal effect.
When Eugene arrived with the men, he saw corpses covered with honeycomb coal, and a handful of dying fish-men lying on the ground wailing.
Before he could react, a series of explosions rang out behind him again.
"Disperse!" Eugene immediately ordered, "Rush over!
Eventually, after a series of durian tentacles, explosions, explosions, and explosions, Eugene's team finally rushed all the way out of the durian forest and saw the walls of Durian City in the distance.
Although the loss of personnel along the way was not very large, this sudden attack caused a huge psychological gap among the fishers, and their morale began to fall for a while.
After gathering troops and starting to build fortifications, Eugene began to count the numbers.
Eugene, who was waiting for the results of his subordinates' report, had a gloomy face, and before he set out, he asked the herald to inform the "reconnaissance team" that had been assigned earlier to go north, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for those teams of 100 people to pass through the durian forest.
But he was visibly worried, because the teams didn't wait for the heralds at all.
The statistics of the number of people soon came out, and all the marching troops for today were pinched off and tailed, and the troops in the front and rear of the palace were basically disabled, plus the losses of the attack on the way and the "reconnaissance team" that had not yet returned, the original team of 50,000 people at the time of departure was only in the early 40,000s after arriving here.
The most serious thing was that the section of the team where the magic teleportation system was located was blown up by something that exploded after jumping from the ground, and the transmitter and receiver were all blown to pieces.
Eugene sighed, this time it was he who was careless.
He quickly perked up, and as long as he took Durian City in the next siege, then he would be able to turn the tables around.
