Scouts, with their only difference from the local beetles, are that they can connect to the will of the swarm. The others are almost indistinguishable from ordinary beetles, including natural predators.

Due to Sekkende's misestimation, the number of scouts sent was too small, so ...... By the time the Scout made his way through the forest, most of it was killed by the insectivorous beasts of the forest......

However, Sekander probably already knew the reason why the nezumi suddenly had special movements, and following the scent of the nezumi, he found some special traces.

An unknown number of creatures passed through the place in a line, as Sekkender could see from the footprints on the ground, the words of ordinary beasts...... The arrangement will not be so neat. Well, there are only creatures like the nezumi, after all, only the armies of nezumi and bug-people will line up in a neat queue when marching, as if the Juggernaut also has this habit.

"New genes." Sekander began to get excited, he had hunted all but a few species of beasts, collected their genes, and when the rest were processed, it was time to leave and go further afield to collect them. And now there's a whole new kind of creature discovered.

"Juggernaut, we probably understand the reason for the sudden abnormal behavior of the nezumi." Sakent.

……

Trees three or four meters tall stand at the junction of the forest and the plain, and they are arranged neatly like a family. Of course, since I specifically mentioned it, it means that these trees are not ordinary. Their tendrils waved so that they could move slowly, and at the edge of the trunk, several branches protruded, and thick vines wrapped around them, digging their roots deep into the trunk.

The branches of the vines drooped, and the end was a cylindrical structure with something like a fruit or a flower.

On the opposite side of these trees is a group of creatures that walk upright on their feet, about two meters tall, and are clad in armor, and in addition to adding armor to the key parts, other areas that cannot cover the armor are also covered with pieces of cloth, even the eyes are covered with a transparent film. The weapon they use is an axe.

Between these creatures, there were dozens of behemoths, wearing metal ramming horns, and unlike the smaller creatures, its entire body was covered in a thick layer of armor, with a layer of cloth underneath the armor.

As if agreed, both sides moved at the same time, the trees rushed forward with their wriggling roots, and the behemoths charged forward at the knight's command.

The bipeds drew their bows and arrows, and threw a rain of arrows at the trees. However, even though the body is full of arrows, it doesn't seem to have a great effect on the trees.

The trees also launched a counterattack, the ends of the vines lifted, aiming the barrel-like structures at the rushing creatures, and then, with a "bang, bang", countless finger-long bullet-shaped objects were launched, knocking down the creatures in front in an instant, and then, those bullet-shaped objects suddenly exploded, but not much more powerful than the smashing cannon.

However, something green crept along with the explosion.

The first to come into contact with those trees were those behemoths in full armor, their huge size brought a powerful impact, and the metal impact angle easily pierced through the trees in front of them, and those trees were almost cut off by the waist, and suffered such a heavy blow that the original wriggling roots of those trees also stagnated and fell.

Although trees are larger than bipedal creatures, they are not as fast and do not have a strong impact. However, under those vine launches, the first wave of contact was clearly a bipedal with heavy casualties.

Moreover, even though the trees had been smashed in two, the vines that had symbiosis with the trees had no intention of stopping, and were still spraying bullet-like objects. A knight trying to kill a behemoth. However, the knight was also clad in full body armor, and they failed to penetrate enemy armor.

Other bipedal creatures collided with the moving trees, wielding their roots and whipping the bipeds, while the vines fired bullet-shaped objects to hit those unprotected by armor. The bipedal creatures wielded axes to cut off the roots of the trees, and tried to cut off the vines that were rooting in the trees.

These trees lack a primary means of attack, and can only fight these bipedal creatures by wielding their roots other than by symbiotic vines, but the roots are often difficult to inflict lethal damage. However, these trees appear to have the ability to think, and they use their tentacles to roll up axes that fall to the ground to fight bipedal creatures.

As the battle continued, a green mist spread over the confrontation between the two sides, and the corpses on the ground could be seen stained green through the wounds. And the bipedal hands that were cut through the cloth on their bodies also showed a hint of green, and the bipedal creatures with green spots on their bodies often fell to the ground as they walked.

In the grass on the side, several nezumi were lying on the ground, watching the battlefield between the two sides.

The leader of the nezumi scout looked at the two sides of the battle in the distance, if those bipedal creatures could still understand, but what the hell were those trees? Why do trees move? And also to launch a strange thing?

"What kind of monsters are that......" The rat man next to him was also frightened by the trees, "Why do the trees move?" Isn't that a living thing? Is it cursed by the devil? (It's roughly the meaning of the devil, just understand it)

"You ask me how I know." "Anyway, we just need to keep an eye on them, and it's none of our business how they move, we just need to know how to kill them." ”

"Got it......"

"But...... Those...... Why don't you use fire against moving trees? The nezumi captain frowned (just to express this meaning, in fact, the nezumi didn't express this emotion by frowning), "It's impossible not to think of it, right?" ”

"Maybe they don't have fire?" The rat man next to him said.

"Maybe I should open your brain and see if it's empty," Captain Nezumi tapped the nezumi on the head, "Don't you see?" The other party's equipment is obviously better than ours, those armors, but they are all made of iron, and they don't know how to use fire to build those weapons? ”

"It seems that it only shows that those trees are not afraid of fire." "When they're done, we'll go to the battlefield." ”

"Understood."
