Chapter 762: Tree Man
After receiving the order, the goblin soldiers on several reconnaissance airships immediately put on gas masks and began to reduce the flight altitude of the airship.
As the distance narrowed, the vision began to become clearer, and then the sight that appeared in front of their eyes began to continue to impact their attempts.
I saw that among the moving plant life, there were some very large guys, they were burly, about thirty meters high, and at the same time the branches were luxuriant, and the plant life that ran outside the fire was diametrically opposite, they ran in whichever way they caught fire.
And the most incredible thing is that after they arrived at the burning area, they didn't see them do anything special, but the surrounding fire was obviously under control, and even began to decrease.
Of course, this was actually a mistake on the part of the goblin soldiers, a mistake that could not be avoided at the moment.
Although the reconnaissance airship had lowered its flight altitude, it was also relatively speaking, coupled with the billowing smoke rising from the forest, which had been obscuring their vision, making it completely impossible for them to observe some details of that strange plant life.
In fact, as long as they get close enough, they will find that the branches of those plant life are full of knots, and those knots are numerous and not small, and at the same time, the surface is covered with dense small meshes.
And when they approached the burning zone, the knots began to swell and squeeze frantically as if they had been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and then large white foamy liquids erupted from the dense mesh.
The liquid was obviously not water, because water could not extinguish the fire caused by the condensation of the oil bomb, it was supposed to be a special liquid similar to tree sap naturally generated in the body of those plant life, which made them directly become the "firefighters" in this forest.
As for what the principle is, it is not known.
No one can measure a magical creature with common sense.
The location where those "firefighters" appear is most likely specially arranged, and if you look closely, you will find that every other distance, there will be a "firefighter".
Obviously, Hussein Hassan knows very well what the player will use against him, and Xia Qi is definitely not the first person to set fire to him.
Therefore, he prepared measures early on.
Xia Qi, who received the intelligence feedback, also had a strange look on his face, but he could at least be sure now that the submarine hunter team he had sent in before was gone.
The fire, which was quickly controlled, was extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Xia Qi have to obey.
And in terms of efficiency, it's higher than a human firefighter.
However, this made the results of his round of napalm oil bombs very bad.
At the same time, judging from the information transmitted from the aerial reconnaissance airship, in that forest, some seemingly ordinary trees and plants are likely to turn into an aggressive plant life in the next second.
All of a sudden, this huge forest became dangerous in an instant.
At this moment, Xia Qi finally figured out that this Hussein Hassan is indeed not good at attacking, but this guy is surprisingly powerful and difficult when he is playing defensive battles on his own turf.
Those exotic players who evacuated in advance with their armies and talents in the territory, as well as a large number of resources, are now only hiding on the surrounding continents.
If the Europa Alliance had won the previous war, they would have given up their territory directly, and with the help of Hussein Hassan's defensive strength and geographical advantages, they would have made a break with the Europa Union Army here.
If you lose, naturally there is nothing to say.
And if they win, they will be able to make a comeback with the troops and resources in their hands and complete a big turnaround.
And if that war is won by the Huaxia Alliance, it will be even more beneficial for foreign players.
In order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, it is unlikely that Huaxia players will attack them, and when the time comes, they will be able to happily take back their territory and end the battle.
I have to say that the guys of the Foreign Alliance may have planned it in advance.
The Chinese players, on the other hand, have been cheated several times in a row.
At this time, Xia Qi, who was aware of this, also became unhappy.
"Pass the order, let all the soldiers of the army units change into new equipment and prepare to attack!"
After a period of waiting, a large number of gas masks and oxygen cylinders were also sent from the rear.
If there was no other way, then he would have to have the soldiers of the army units carry oxygen cylinders on their backs and wear gas masks to attack.
Anyway, he didn't plan to be dissuaded like that.
"Erik, do you have any ideas?"
In the next battle, Xia Qi also needed Eric Mountton's Hydra to help, so when thinking about it, he didn't forget to ask the other party's thoughts.
Eric Moonton also had no opinion on this, and at the same time took the initiative to ask about Xia Qi's next arrangement.
For Susan the Hydra, Eric Multon put on a full show of confidence.
Although there were magical creatures on the other side, Eric Murton didn't think that the other party could easily hurt his hydra.
However, he didn't think the battle was easy to fight.
As far as the information he has obtained now, even in his heyday, as the attacker, he brought his army of dark elves to kill, and he can't say that he is very sure that he will definitely be able to win the other party.
Now it seems that Hussein Hassan does have two brushes.
So he was also a little curious about how Xia Qi would deal with this tricky guy.
In this regard, Xia Qi did not hide it, and said directly: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the most troublesome place is the possible poison gas there, because of this, I must let all the soldiers be equipped with oxygen cylinders and gas masks." Not to mention the cost, the increase in the load and the limitation of the combat time have greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the troops. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Qi's tone was full of helplessness.
"From the information I have gathered so far, combined with some of my personal speculations, it is very likely that the poisonous gas came from some plants, and in order to solve this problem, I must find out which plants sent the poisonous gas as soon as possible. At the same time, how big is the enveloping range? ”
Speaking of this, Xia Qi's face was full of headaches.
"And what can be determined at present is that there should be no poisonous gas in the coastal area and the periphery of the forest, I plan to fight first, and at the same time open my horizons, I will test the other side."
During this time, one after another troop transport ships had already docked, and a large number of soldiers who were already equipped with gas masks quickly landed on the shore, and spread out in formation, advancing towards the woodland not far away.
For the situation here, these soldiers also have a preliminary understanding, every big tree in this forest may become an enemy.
After knowing this, the soldiers who were gradually approaching the forest, directly under the order of the officer leading the team, some of the bombardiers directly took out one incendiary bomb after another and threw them towards the forest.
After the incendiary bombs exploded, they quickly formed a fire and quickly began to spread into the forest.
In the process, they also discovered that these outer trees should really be just ordinary trees, shelters for those plant life inside.
And as the fire spreads, the plant life inside is also a little unhidden.
The soldiers standing on the periphery, with rifles, could be said to see clearly.
I saw that in the sea of fire, one of the big trees that looked like it was no different from the surrounding trees suddenly moved, and this action seemed to directly bring about some kind of chain reaction, and in the face of the threat of fire, many of the surrounding big trees directly showed the real duty.
Even, on the trunk of the big tree, something that seemed to be the same as the facial features.
At the same time, their height is also high and low, some are only two or three meters, while others are five or six meters, even ten or twenty meters, or even higher.
As for the appearance, if I had to say it, the most accurate description would be a tree that looks like a human!
Therefore, Xia Qifang later referred to them as tree people.
Then, without waiting for them to think about it, a burly tree man appeared.
This tree man is the same breed that was labeled as a "firefighter" by Xia Qi before.
On its lush branches, a large number of knotted buds continue to spit out special liquids and begin to extinguish the surrounding fires.
And the other tree people, because of the appearance of the "firefighters", calmed down. At the same time, the treemen, realizing that they had been exposed, began to glare angrily at the group of arsonists on the other side.
Then, I saw them let out a low roar, and then no longer disguised, and a large number of tree people appeared in the entire surrounding area, and then rushed towards them with heavy steps!
The sense of oppression that swept over his face made the officer who was in charge of directing the front-line troops to fight hurriedly shout.
"Shoot !!"
For a while, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the outer area of the forest.
The bullet that came out of the disembowel, after hitting the treemen, suddenly flew sawdust.
It's just that that the level of wound doesn't seem to have caused any substantial damage to those tree people, at least their actions have not been affected by this.
Those two or three meters tall tree people rushed the fastest, and at the same time, they were the most numerous, and they rushed out of the forest area in large numbers, like a tide, swept towards the soldiers on the Great Xia side!
At this scene, Xia Qi's eyelids jumped straight when he saw the back.
At this time, the soldiers also shot wildly, trying to shoot the tree people who rushed towards them, halfway through.
However, the treemen seemed to be unable to be killed, and some of them even had a dozen or twenty bullet holes in their bodies, but they continued to charge.
This is really a bit unreasonable for Xia Qi and the soldiers.
In the face of the tree-man troops who had already rushed in front of them, the soldiers could only fight with each other with bayonets.
The movements of those treemen are not flexible, although their strength is strong, but they are not outrageous, and they are inferior to the disadvantages of the orcs.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
However, they were more resistant than the orc soldiers, and the bullets seemed to be useless when they hit them.
In a round of fighting, they were stunned to rely on this advantage, which made Xia Qi's troops pay a great price in casualties.
With a furious roar, the Hydra rushed into the battlefield strongly, relying on its strong flesh to forcibly intercept part of the combat power of the Treant troops, buying time for the army troops in Great Xia to withdraw to the ship, and immediately evacuated the coastal area after completing the boarding.
Those tree men are typical land troops, and after chasing them to the coastal area, they can only watch the rapid withdrawal of the troop transport ship.
It's just that the atmosphere on the ship at this time is not good.
Many seriously wounded soldiers couldn't help but let out wails, and the strong smell of blood spread on the troop transport ship.
This time, although the tentative attack of the army unit can be regarded as a certain success, the casualties of a large number of soldiers, coupled with the ferocious offensive of the tree people, still hit the morale of this army.
After receiving the report sent and confirming the casualty figures, Xia Qi was also a little helpless.
In terms of the results achieved, he clearly suffered a loss.
Of course, he was more concerned about the specific situation of those tree people than this.
The attack of the gun bullets does not seem to cause much effective damage to them.
If this problem cannot be solved, then the number of casualties in his troops will rise further in the following battles.
Unconsciously, Xia Qi's two eyebrows were directly twisted into a ball.
In order to further confirm the situation, he directly signaled the officer in charge of commanding the battle at that time to write a report, and before noon the next day, the report was delivered to Xia Qi's eyes.
It's just that the content of the report made Xia Qi's mood even heavier.
According to the officer, he had seen a tree man shot almost into a sieve, but still able to continue the attack.
Of course, there are dead treants.
It's just that those tree people have basically been beaten to pieces, and they don't look like anything anymore.
If you really have to fight to this point to kill a tree man, then the difficulty is inevitably a little too high, and even to some extent, the firearms and weapons are directly killed by them!
After all, are those treants really creatures?
Orc soldiers are also very physically strong, but after being hit by a bullet, they can still deal a fatal blow.
But the situation of these tree people is completely different.
