(671) The Magic Tree
Salantos pushed the crowd away and plunged into the surging tide of enemies again,
The burden of power liberation on the body is getting heavier and heavier, and in addition to the pain of penetrating the heart, the consciousness also begins to blur.

Emperor Valstad is like an unyielding reef in the waves of rage, and the power of his fury shakes the hearts of everyone on the front line.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with her, Your Majesty?"
"Who's going to advise you? She'd ruin herself by doing so. ”
"It's useless, she doesn't listen."
"Report! Reinforcements came, the 1st Brigade of the Heavy Cavalry, as well as the brethren of the 5th Marine Division, and Marshal Andy's Solan allies. ”
Leopold shouted, "I saw the little princess, Her Highness Edgar, who is leading the cavalry to rescue the driver regardless of the losses, what a loyalty!" Loyalty! ”
"Damn! They all said they wouldn't let her come! ”
Salantos spat on the crushed bones of the monster;
"A rebellious little cub, he has been disobedient since he was a child, he causes trouble everywhere, and he doesn't know who to learn from."
Darley Einfurt stabbed with a swift sword and stabbed to death a small monster that tried to sneak up on the Emperor:
"Who did you learn from...... Your Majesty, don't you have a little count in your heart? ”
"Shut up, nerd."
"Xiao Ai is here, you're actually very happy in your heart, right?"
"They told you to shut up, dwarf, you talk a lot."
"Lord Baldwin is wounded, Medic! Carry him down! ”
The Minister of the Imperial Stables broke free from the stretcher: "Get out of here!" No one will touch me, I vow to fight to the end today! ”
Under the emperor's guidance, everyone marched forward, their hooves and boots trampling the bones and making a creaking sound.
The road was blocked,
In front of him was a terrifying wall of countless human and monster corpses, and Sarantos blurted out without even thinking about it;
"Dali, tell your son to push the cannon over and blast it away."
"How did you know he was coming?"
"Hmph, this rebellious boy will definitely find a way to come over and join in the fun."
Leopold said uneasily, "Wait, Your Majesty, there are the bodies of our compatriots in the wall...... It's inappropriate for you to do this, and it will affect the morale of the troops, so it's better to take a detour. ”
Salantos Midknight's murderous intent was revealed, and her gaze was like a sharp cone made of ice, instantly piercing Marshal Leopold's body, looking directly at his soul, and frightened the veteran of the battlefield to retreat again and again:
"Leopold, how dare you question my decision?"
"Right...... I'm sorry...... It's the ministers who trespass. ”
"Remember, there is only one commander-in-chief on the battlefield."
"Don't dare to do it again, Your Majesty."
"Listen up! Who dares to question my authority in public, Hugh blames me for turning my face and being ruthless! ”
The emperor became more and more tyrannical, and she grabbed the monster's head directly, pulling out the head and vertebrae.
Dali frowned, and thought to himself: (It's not good, the liberation force also has an effect on the mood, is she really going to ...... in the end) Out of control, crazy? )
Prince William's artillery company came up with cannons,
His handsome face was blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, and his beard was covered with grass roots, like a coal miner, and his trouser leg was scratched three times by the claws of the monster, and blood flowed down and poured into his boots.
William Einfurt was distracted, and he didn't care about the burning pain of the wound, so he ordered his men to place sandbags, set up cannons, and load 12-pound solid shells.
"Boom!" There was a volley, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere.
The walls of flesh and blood were easily blasted open with a gap,
"Kill it!"
The Emperor strode through the ruins of flesh and blood, and did not shy away from stepping on something, and everyone followed suit, rushing in.
"Crazy...... It's all crazy......"
In front of him was a clearing made of gravel, mud, and volcanic rock.
Twelve giant obsidian pillars, each ten meters high, form a circle and are carved with strange characters and patterns, like the totems of primitive tribes.
The ground among the boulders was painted with blood with a circle of twelve-pointed stars, and a high-ranking priest was leading several assistant priests in chanting elaborate incantations.
In the center of the circle were a large number of stone plates, containing newly slaughtered offerings,
Piglets, lambs, men, women, and even babies...... are all dedicated to the unspeakable god of the other world.
A priestess in a straw skirt and a mask crouches down, holding a sharp sacrificial knife, cuts out the internal organs of the sacrifices, and holds them in clay jars of different shapes, and then enshrines them in different shrines.
Beneath the stone pillars on the northwest side stood several mysterious figures, all shrouded in pitch-black robes, their faces obscured by drooping hoods.
"Cultists! Stop the sacrificial ritual! You've all been arrested! ”
As if they had not heard, the priests and the priests continued to do what they were doing, and the mysterious man in the robe was unmoved and deaf.
"Bastard! Pretend to be deaf and dumb, right? I pronounce you death! ”
The princess rode forward and charged towards the center of the circle, followed by Major Nikolai with a brigade of heavy cavalry.
A short mysterious man seemed to be chanting something, and then,
The earth began to tremble,
Hundreds of large trees rose from the ground around Stonehenge, these ancient plants walked on their rhizomes, their trunks grew eyes, and their branches turned into arms, sweeping towards the knights.
"Be careful! Tree...... The tree comes to life! What the is going on? ”
The cuirassiers were swept down by the tough trunks, and the hoplites were carried upside down by the trees with their boots pinched and hung in the air,
The carbines, dressed in glittering armor, were entangled in the spreading vines and could not move.
In an instant, the people flipped on their backs, and the knights' desperate charge was nothing to mention in front of these giant ancient trees, like a group of tiny grasshoppers trying to shake the trees.
Colonel Nikolai was knocked unconscious by a tree branch and collapsed in a cloud of smoke.
The mount of the princess in uniform was torn apart, and she herself was slapped out more than ten meters away, rolling continuously on the ground, her head was hit by a stone, and she lost consciousness for a few seconds, and finally got up.
The ancient trees resemble a bunch of children playing with toy soldiers, killing their horses, tossing the knights back and forth, and tearing them to pieces when they get tired of playing.
Watching their own troops being wantonly slaughtered, toyed with, and humiliated...... Edgar Midknight, the princess in disguise, was already furious;
"Dead ...... What the hell do I care about you...... Give me death! Die! ”
The saber slashed at the tough roots, and she pulled her tomahawk from behind her cloak and began to charge on foot.
"Plants just stay honest! Who made you mess around! ”
She lowered her head to dodge the sweep of the branches, climbed the treetops with ape-like lightness, and then pierced her newly sprouted eye with the spike at the end of the axe's handle.
"Whew......"
The ancient tree monster screamed in pain, trying to grab the nasty insect on its body with its branches, trying to tear her up and digest it as fertilizer.
The princess in uniform acts like a professional lumberjack, she keeps splitting the branches and vines of the incoming trees, guessing that the monster's brain is near the eye, and pulls out the large-caliber shotgun and pulls the trigger:
"Boom!" There was a loud bang on the ground, sawdust flew and sap flowed.
A large hole was blasted open in the trunk of the tree, and green viscous juice flowed out, and the entire ancient tree monster collapsed, becoming wilted and stiff in an instant.
"Well done!" General William, who was on the artillery position in the distance, clenched his fists and shouted: "Get out of the way!" I'm going to kill them! ”
"Don't fire yet! Wait a minute! Edgar jumped off the slumped tree, picked up Colonel Nikolai, whose fate was unknown, from the ground, and ran desperately with a pair of long legs, and the surviving cavalry followed.
All the cannons were loaded with traditional fire oil incendiary bombs, as well as white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and after a volley, the surging army of ancient trees was completely enveloped and engulfed by the flames.
The sturdy vine branches were burned and curled, and the mutated jaws let out a miserable scream.
"Good fellow......" said William in surprise, "you have to be careful when burning firewood in the future." ”
Edgar Midknight didn't care to appreciate the results, she pressed Nikolai's chest, and began mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration again, and her long silver hair fell apart as the headband broke.
"Wake up! Wake up! ”
Just as the military doctors arrived, the pale-faced Major Nikolai Sergeyev suddenly laughed, and the ginger mustache looked like a writhing caterpillar, it turned out that he had been holding his breath and pretending to be dead.
"Oops...... My hair is so soft that it tickles my face......"
"You're playing dead?"
"Hehe, I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I'm afraid that I will be hated by Lord William."
Edgar cried with joy, first hugging, and then slapping the other party with a big mouth:
"Bastard! When is it, still trying to take advantage of me! ”
