Chapter 62: Artifact
The so-called sandmen do not actually have a human form, but are more like insects roaming in the sand.
The Sandman's legs were as thick as lotus roots, his bare and shriveled upper body, his sickle-shaped upper limbs with hairs curled and drooping, and his triangular face had a pair of eyes that bulged out like insects.
"Why did the Sandmen attack Naya?"
The whole Naya was already in a very dangerous situation, and the joy of the Ancient Tree of Life being successfully summoned had not been filled for long, and it was quickly replaced by a nervous mood.
There are only more than 7,000 white elves and dark elves, and even fewer can defend against foreign enemies. It is reported that there are 5,000 sandman warriors besieging Naya this time, and they brought more than 20 giant sandworms, the situation is not optimistic.
"Because of the food!"
At the top of the canopy, Arya was now fully armed. An elven bow was carried on his back, a short sword was tied to his waist, and two daggers were pinned to his slender legs. Except for the basket with long arrows, the rest is standard for elven archers.
"Food?"
Will wondered why Arya didn't bring the basket, but didn't ask.
"Yes!" Arya looked solemn, standing on the ancient tree of life more than ten meters high, and through the barrier, she could clearly see the situation outside.
The attack of the sandmen was obviously premeditated, and more than twenty giant sandworms attacked the barrier at the same time, almost instantaneously.
Their plan was very thorough, and in the past few days, the dark elves have moved back one after another, and the whole Naya is very lax, and they almost succeeded in one blow.
Two gray eagles flapped their wings from under the canopy, flipped their wings, and landed in front of Will and the others. The feathers receded, the limbs extended, and the figures of Cober and Rubeus appeared in front of Will.
Cober and Rubeus are both great druids, and they can transform into many magical beast forms, almost omnibious on land, water and air.
"Sandmen and Kraken have more ancestors in common. After the fall of their civilization, one of them went underground and became the sandmen today!"
As if hearing Will's words, Cobb explained.
"The sandmen live underground and have a scarce source of food. They used to seek out demonic beasts underground or the roots and stems of forest trees to feed on. But as the Land of the Wild Moon turned into a wasteland, and a large number of forests became extinct, I thought that the sandmen were extinct. I didn't expect that the sandmen would be able to put together a formation of this scale now!"
Ruuber continued Cober's words and said.
"My lord, now that you are Naya's master, give a defense order!"
Will nodded and said, "In this way, you let your druids summon the Guardians." In addition, elven archers were arranged to protect the surroundings, and huntress lurked in the forest. As long as the twenty-odd giant sandworms are eliminated first, the sandman's attack will be reduced by half!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two received orders and transformed into gray eagles and headed for the front line.
The natural magic of the elves is unique in that they can turn the deep forests into usable power, rather than just using them as resources like humans or other races.
More than thirty druids, and all the druids in Naya, were escorted by huntress and elven archers, and rushed to the edge of Naya.
The Druid is a master of combat and the most proficient magician of the elves.
As the esoteric elven chant was chanted, the Guardians began to awaken one by one.
Under the attack of the giant sandworm, the barrier has long been shattered. After these giant sandworms entered Naya, they began to eat the trees frantically and greedily.
The sandmen then invaded Naya and began to burn the trees indiscriminately, knowing full well that if the forest was destroyed, the elves would be like monster cubs exposed in the wilderness, powerless.
It's just that what the sandman didn't expect was that the guardian who was more than three meters tall came slowly from the depths of the forest with heavy steps.
These Guardians are not like ordinary trees, and they are not afraid of fire. The Guardian walked through the flames, and when he saw the giant sandworm, he lifted it up, raised it above his head, and with a force of his two hands, easily tore it apart.
A foul-smelling liquid flowed from the sandworm's body, and the Guardian's gaze shifted from the sandworm's body to the sandman behind it.
The formation of the sandman was inexplicable, and he seemed to be intimidated by the hand of the guardian.
Bumper Bumper!
Heavy footsteps rang out, and the Guardians showed no mercy to the sandmen who had invaded Naya. Thick arms swung across the ground, sweeping down an unknown number of sandman warriors.
Seeing that the situation is new, the offensive of the sandmen is about to stop. A pale green beam of light struck from the sandman from behind, striking one of the Guardians who was on his way.
Then, the pale blue robe on the guardian's body began to fall off, and the flames that had been invulnerable to it slowly began to rise from its heels, and quickly flew up the tree.
With a whimpering wail, the Guardian's massive body fell in flames, and a huge cheer rang out from among the Sandman Warriors.
Summoning a Guardian requires a druid to consume a lot of mana, as well as a qualified tree. Today's Naya, druids are scarce, and there are few big trees that can summon guardians. In other words, there is no way to increase the number of Guardians for a considerable period of time.
"Sandman Warlock?"
Maybe the elves in front of them don't know what is going on, but Will and Arya, at the top of the canopy, can easily know what is going on in front of them.
Although the Sandman Warlock is scarce, only four or five from above, they are the core of the entire Sandman army, and their magic can break the protective barrier on the Guardian's body, exposing it to flames.
It can be said that the sandman warlock is a great threat to the elves. If they can't get rid of the Guardians before they do, then Nayak is really dangerous.
The Sandmen knew this, so they protected the Sandmen Warlock from a heavy samurai siege.
"My lord, if I can get these sandman warlocks to move forward some distance, I have a way to deal with them!"
Arya unloaded her longbow and swore an oath.
"It's easy!"
Through the sigil of the deep mound on his arm, Will can control all the Guardians.
As a brilliant firework flickered in the air, all the elves and guardians who were on the front line began to slowly retreat.
Will began to tighten his defenses, ceding the woodlands on the outskirts to the Sandmen.
The sandmen did not suspect the deception and began to advance their positions forward.
It was only then that Will noticed that the longbow that Arya had been carrying behind her was not a simple commodity. Although the appearance is unpretentious, the texture and color are not comparable to ordinary wooden longbows.
As the sandman advanced, Arya raised her longbow and pulled the bowstring, her eyebrows beaming.
Although nothing could be seen between the longbows, Will, who was close at hand, could feel the furious power in the midst of them.
With a bang, it moved in response to the strings.
An invisible arrow sliced through the sky, piercing a sandman warlock.
Blood flowed from the transparent hole, and the sandman warlock didn't understand what had happened to him until he died!
With the death of one of the sandman sorcerers, the sandman warriors around him began to panic, and some even began to flee to the periphery.
Arya didn't stop firing, and in just one minute, several arrows were fired, and the remaining sandman warlocks fell.
Will looked at Arya in surprise, at the longbow in her hand!
