Chapter 287: Blocking the Tree Man

readx;? Just as the priest was worried about his lack of skill, two groups of people suddenly rushed out from behind the array, and they split into two ways with their swords in hand, and pounced on the sides to stop the siege of the treemen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen they were less than twenty steps away from the tree man, the night sky suddenly lit up, and yellow and silver fighting qi rose into the air.

Gutsian selected officers above the rank of mid-level swordsman and formed a commando team. In addition to purifying magic, the most effective way to deal with these tree people is to fight with each other, and only the fighting spirit can resist the advantages brought by the strong power of the tree people.

"Whew!"

The sound of a great sword swinging through the wind.

"Bang bang!"

The muffled sound of the fighting spirit striking the strong branches of the treants.

As soon as the swordsman and the tree man met, the battle was extremely fierce, the sawdust and broken leaves flew all over the sky under the action of the fighting qi, at first the swordsman used the fighting qi to occupy an advantage, but with the counterattack of the strong strength of the tree man, the swordsman's fighting qi consumption was very fast, some intermediate swordsmen soon couldn't resist it, and began to withdraw from the battle, but the senior swordsman was still trying not to retreat, they relied on their flexible body, tossing and turning in front of the giant tree, flying up and down, and from time to time to make up a few swords, cut off some branches of the tree man, for a time the tree man was helpless against them。

Seeing this, the elven soldiers hiding behind the treemen immediately came up with reinforcements, but they did not choose to fight with the swordsmen of the Holy See, but used bows and arrows and elven magic to assist the treants' attack.

The elven mage chanted a magic spell softly, and vines burst out of the ground from the swordsmen's feet, silently reaching the legs of the swordsman who was fighting fiercely with the treants. By the time the swordsmen reacted, it was too late, their legs were entangled in rattans, and even if they tried their best, they couldn't break free immediately, and as soon as they broke free, more would soon be entangled, and the swordsmen could only give up the treeman and try to cut the rattan with the sharp blade in their hands, and the movement was a little slower, and they immediately completely exposed themselves to the attack of the treeman.

The treemen seized the opportunity, and they swung the branch at the trapped swordsman, the diameter of the branch was thicker than the swordsman's waistline, and smashed down the sky, and the swordsman who could not dodge could only swing his sword to resist, and the sawdust flew one after another, and the treeman followed the slap, getting heavier and heavier.

"Click!"

The branches broke, but new ones were immediately replaced.

"Click!ahh

The sound of bones shattering was accompanied by a terrible scream.

The swordsman couldn't withstand the continuous smashing of the tree man, the long sword in his hand flew out of his hand, the swordsman wanted to retreat, but their feet were firmly fixed to the ground by the rattan, and the branches followed and swept on their bodies, even if they had a fighting spirit to protect their bodies, the huge force still shook their five internal organs to displace, and the smashing of the tree man continued, and the large mouthful of blood mixed with the fragments of internal organs was shocked and spewed out, and the swordsman finally began to suffer casualties.

The Treants knocked down the swordsman, and without stopping, the thick roots of the tree stepped directly on the fallen corpse and continued to move forward, leaving only a layer of blood-soaked armor and battle robes on the ground behind them, and the flesh below had been trampled into slag, soaked into the ground beneath their feet, and became fertilizer to nourish the forest.

"Woo~!"

Witnessing this, Gutesian gave the order to retreat one after another, and all the queues retreated three hundred meters back to the sound of the commander's order, and then recovered in place, waiting for the second attack of the Treants. Waiting until they lost the second battle and then continued to retreat, the Templars had to give their companions a chance to survive, and the passage behind them became narrower and narrower as they retreated, until they were completely blocked by the Treants.

At the entrance of the passage, when the Knights Templar were fighting and retreating, the passage had already become a mess.

Nearly 90,000 people were gathered inside the passage, including more than 20,000 troops and more than 60,000 people, and the Knights Templar and the Minfu were separated, so when the order to retreat first reached the Templars, the people who had been awakened by the sound of trumpets from their sleep looked around in a daze, not knowing what was happening. These men were recruited by Gutsian from the nearest towns and villages, and some of them joined in because they saw that logging was profitable.

The people have a clear division of labor, some are responsible for cutting down trees, some are responsible for transportation, and finally sell all kinds of precious trees and flowers obtained to merchants waiting to buy them outside the passage, deducting the part handed over to the Holy See, and the rest still makes many people rich, so there is no need for Gutesian to order, in order to make money, these people take the initiative to transfer their relatives and friends, The neighbors brought in, and some of the nearby nobles who got the news led their slaves to participate, and they cut down the trees while buying them at a low price on the spot, and then reselling them to the timber and medicinal herb merchants outside at a high price, and the farmers of many nearby villages flocked to the village when they heard the news, and they even abandoned their fields, and the whole village participated in the logging army, what they didn't know was that their greedy actions had brought destruction to themselves while speeding up the Templars' march.

When the horn of the barracks sounded that night, some shrewd people immediately realized that the situation was wrong, they had been eating and living here for almost a month, and it was the first time they had heard the horn at night, although they could not understand what the horn represented, but the rapid feeling from the horn still made them smell a trace of danger, and soon through the wooden fence of the barracks, they saw that the soldiers inside were marching in formation, this assembly was very hasty, and the assembly had just been completed, and they marched in the direction of the passage without even counting。

"What happened to the barracks, why did the army march out in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know, it's never been like this before. ”

A group of people gathered around to talk, all of them came from a relatively large village a hundred miles away from the Elven Forest, this time their village's labor force was almost all dispatched, a total of about a thousand people, they were stationed here some mainly responsible for transporting timber, and some were stationed in it for logging, because their camp was the outermost part, and it was also the first wave of people to notice that the army was moving.

"Could it be that the elven army is coming, and they are all scared away?"

A young man said with a frightened look on his face.

"Don't spread rumors, even if the elven army comes, the Templars will kill them to the ground. You're waiting here for me to go over and ask the head of the barracks what happened. ”

The person who spoke was an old man in his fifties, his name was Kaiman, and he was the head of the village where the group of people lived, and he was a faithful believer in the God of Light, who had a good relationship with the local church and was also very prestigious in the village. He is also the leader of this collective group of people who came out to cut wood to make money, and if something happens to this group of people, he can't explain it when he goes back, so when he hears someone alarmist, he can't help but scold. However, in order to dispel everyone's worries and relieve his doubts, he decided to go to the barracks to ask the officers, because they had been stationed here for a month, the camps on both sides were indispensable, and gradually Kaiman and a battalion commander in the barracks also became acquainted, and Kaiman did not give him any benefits, so if he found the battalion commander, he should be able to figure out what was going on.

Keyman really wanted everything in front of him to be a false alarm.
