Chapter 147 Accidental Death
The fighters on Richard's side had already been trained in advance, and they had already kept in mind how to deal with them. Seeing that the effect of the first blow was exactly the same as expected, the next burly warrior leaped out from behind the steel barrier and slashed at the woodpecker on the ground with a heavy axe.
He used all his strength this time, and in his hand he had a fine heavy axe, and in the moment he left a huge wound on the woodpecker's body, almost cutting it in half. After the blow was successful, the warrior did not bother to check whether the woodpecker was dead, and immediately returned to the rear of the fort.
Seeing that the webs of bird-eating spiders did work against woodpeckers, Richard was truly relieved.
At this time, the wind was already raging in the forest, and one after another woodpeckers flew from the depths of the forest, circling around the tree of life, and the piercing cries were overwhelming, and the soldiers were dizzy, and they couldn't help but want to reach out and block their ears.
The number of woodpeckers grew, and at last the sky was obscured, and the forest was so dark that it seemed to be night.
Richard narrowed his eyes and scanned the sky. The numbers jumped in his mind, constantly rising, and the number of woodpeckers hovering in the air at this time had reached as many as 4,000, but there was still a certain gap between them and the 10,000 that the Tree of Life said. However, deep in the forest, there are still flocks of woodpeckers that are constantly flying.
When Richard saw the swarm of woodpeckers hovering in the air but had not yet attacked, he immediately ordered twenty magic archers to start shooting.
The powerful armor-piercing arrow swayed upwards and pierced directly through the woodpecker's body with extreme precision, causing twenty woodpeckers to fall from the sky on the spot. The woodpeckers in the air rioted and let out an extremely angry chirp, and then a group of hundreds of woodpeckers swooped down in the air and swooped down viciously at those magic archers!
In the past, when the Woodpecker attacked the Tree of Life, those guardian elves generally did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Woodpecker first, and had to wait until the Woodpecker was nailed into the Tree of Life. Only at this time, the woodpecker's defenses are the most vulnerable, and they can be effective in one blow.
This creature is extremely ferocious, and if attacked without dying, it will immediately turn its target from the Living Tree to the attacker.
Therefore, even if the Tree of Life successfully advances, it will be attacked by the woodpeckers, and it will take a long time to recuperate. That's a long time, at least in ten years. Of course, Richard couldn't wait that long, and he wasn't a guardian elf to dare to attack the woodpecker head-on.
The group of woodpeckers had just skimmed over the tree of life, and hundreds of motionless bird-eating spiders on this side suddenly sprayed their webs, and hundreds of cobwebs finally formed a huge web, almost enclosing almost all the woodpeckers, and only a dozen or so flew on the edge to escape in time.
By this time, the archers had already ducked back to the barrier, replaced by a group of warriors with heavy shields, and they jumped out in good training, first swatting the woodpecker to the ground with their shields, then making up for it with an axe, and then kicking it far to the perimeter.
There are constantly falling woodpeckers caught in cobwebs, and the warriors move neatly and ruthlessly, as they do, not seeking to completely kill the woodpeckers, as long as they are seriously injured and lose their ability to move.
The woodpeckers in the air were completely enraged, and they folded their wings and swooped down to pounce on the bird-eating spiders that were crawling all over the tree of life! They were greeted by a vast expanse of cobwebs! The woodpeckers swooped fast, but the bird-eating spiders spat out their webs faster. In less than half a second, each bird-eating spider spewed out at least three cobwebs!
In the blink of an eye, thousands of woodpeckers were caught in cobwebs and fell to the ground. More woodpeckers broke through the spiders' web defenses, and they tightened their sharp beaks like stabbing swords, stabbing at the bird-eating spiders in the trees.
At this moment, the bird-eating spiders showed agility that was not commensurate with their size, and they bounced off the tree of life, pounced on the woodpecker, and bit down fiercely with their mouthparts. The woodpecker's steely feathers were reduced to nothing under the bird-eating spider's mouthparts, and they were bitten open with a click, and a special venom was injected into them along the wound.
A few bird-eating spiders were not quick enough to react, and they were pierced through by the woodpeckers and nailed to the branches of the tree of life. It's just that the bird-eating spiders are unusually strong, struggling to fight back, and most of them have succeeded in sending their mouthparts into the woodpeckers that nail them.
Their body fluids are highly toxic and corrosive to woodpeckers, and the ablation is so bad that the woodpeckers keep screaming, and their feathers and skin are eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, one after another woodpeckers in the sky swooped down and pinned to the bird-eating spiders one after another, finally causing these bird-eating spiders to lose their lives. But it only took a moment for the woodpeckers stained with the bodily fluids of the bird-eating spiders to fall from the tree of life, and then twitch continuously.
There was already chaos around the Tree of Life, with more than 2,000 bird-eating spiders and woodpeckers twice their size fighting to the death. They fight to the death everywhere, in the air, in the trees, in every fit and unfit place to fight.
Compared to the fierce woodpeckers, bird-eating spiders are more ferocious, and they are often torn to the point of only half of their bodies by the woodpeckers, but they still continue to bite the woodpeckers.
Bird-eating spiders are almost everywhere with weapons all over their bodies, and many woodpeckers tear off the flesh and blood of bird-eating spiders and swallow them directly. But all the woodpeckers who did this did not take long to fall from the sky one by one. As soon as they fall to the ground, the wolf-like warriors will rush up and send them to the periphery of the battlefield with an axe and a kick.
Woodpeckers are still coming, throwing themselves into the battlefield in an endless stream, and falling in an endless stream.
However, Richard's face became a little unsightly, because by now, there were more than 10,000 woodpeckers thrown into the battlefield. As bird-eating spiders continue to die, the pressure on Richard's warriors and guardian elves is increasing.
At this time, the air began to flash with the light of magic and magic, and all the warriors had begun to fight with all their might, and although there were no major casualties for the time being, people were already starting to be injured.
The elven knife in Richard's hand flickered constantly, and from time to time it knocked the woodpeckers out of the air. He immediately communicated with the Tree of Life, and roared, "Didn't you say that there were only 10,000 woodpeckers, and now they are 12>,000!
The Tree of Life's voice was also a little flustered, and shouted, "It should be the World Tree! It must have sensed our relationship, so this time the woodpecker was surprisingly much larger! At other times, it couldn't deal with me." ”
"World Tree...... How many more woodpeckers will there be, >I want to hear the truth!" Richard shouted.
"Seventeen thousand at most, there are only so many woodpeckers in this area!" the Tree of Life said quickly.
A cold light flashed in Richard's eyes, and he said coldly: "Okay, if there are still woodpeckers in the 17,000 years, I will retreat!"
"Yes!" the Tree of Life's voice began to reveal a fierce energy.
Richard severed the link with the Tree of Life and continued the fight.
From time to time, clouds of fire appeared in the air, and the sound of dragons resounded through the heavens and the earth, and Carlo had appeared in the sky. But this time it looked like a wolf, and its huge body was crawling with dense woodpeckers, constantly pecking at its flesh. The usually sturdy dragon scales were now very fragile, unable to withstand a few pecks from the woodpeckers, and although each wound was as small as a needle tip to Carlo, the swarm of woodpeckers covering nearly a third of its body was like a needle carpet under the cover.
Although a large number of woodpeckers fall as soon as the Carol Dragon's Breath comes out, there are so many of them that they are almost inexhaustible.
At this time, Richard's eyes were full of the fierce figure of the woodpecker, and all he heard in his ears were piercing screams, interspersed with one or two screams. The elven knife in his hand flew like a fly, and one by one the woodpeckers were pierced or sliced open. After studying the art of the priest for a long time, Richard finally reached a new level in the art of fighting, and now by the standards of a professional in the human kingdom, Richard can be regarded as a master of martial arts.
Time passed unconsciously, and Richard no longer knew how many woodpeckers he had killed. He, Neris, and Agamemnon were back to back at the moment, forming a small battle circle, protecting the quicksand in the center. On all sides of them, up and down, left and right, all of them were woodpeckers. Richard's body was covered in blood, both his own, and Nerius' and Agamemnon's. The three of them didn't know how many attacks they had blocked each other, and they didn't care about the calculation at all.
The defense line on the ground was in disarray, and the warriors were divided into dozens of large and small circles, protecting the priests and mages in the middle, fighting the endless woodpeckers.
At this moment, the bird-eating spiders have all been killed in battle, and they are dragging woodpeckers several times their number on the road. This is the characteristic of the brood's targeted troops, as long as the maximum killing effect is achieved, regardless of casualties.
But after the bird-eating spiders died, all the pressure was transferred to Richard and them. Just when Richard also felt that he was about to die, the tree of life suddenly shook, and a large amount of life breath fell like raindrops, sprinkled on the hard-fought soldiers, and all the warriors were in high spirits, and their bodies were constantly generating new powers! They fought and roared, and slashed down the woodpeckers one by one.
In such a scuffle, Richard was already unable to command, so he could only let his followers gather as much as possible.
I don't know how long it took, Richard pierced the last woodpecker with his knife, and when he looked around, he couldn't find any more opponents.
Nereus and Agamemnon also put down their blood-stained weapons, looked around with some confusion and even confusion, and for a moment they were still a little uncomfortable, and won like this?>
At this time, I looked around, and I saw the corpses of bird-eating spiders, humans, elves, and woodpeckers entangled and piled up, indescribably tragic.
