Bannier's manipulation of the underground root system was carried out on the orders of the prefect;

The orders from the divisional mercenary chiefs are derived from the calculations of the witch doctors based on 'perception'.

Therefore, under the guidance of well-founded instructions, even if he could not see, hear, or feel the root group, it still played a planned role in the near future.

Underground, the many roots that converge into the base of the volcano suddenly ceased to be salty, and they began to spread in a definite direction instead of their previous aimless downward stretching;

It alarmed many large and small creatures as it traveled through the magma, but due to their small dispersed size, the distance they kept far enough from the magma creatures, and the speed at which they traveled, it did not hinder their purpose.

As a result, at the bottom of the pedestal, in the magma channel located under the two large volcanoes in the east and west, countless root systems have completed the docking of each other in a short period of time, and together they have become two super nets.....

The supervision and command of this task was handed over to the two witch doctors, Rough Fang and Fang, and the assistant was Aishara, Freya, and the other four newly promoted second-order witch doctors;

At this time, a lot of data related to time, to the net, to the target location, and the expected landing point poured out like a stream in the calculations made in their meditations, and formed one after another specific orders and reference strategies that were delegated to all parties;

Among them, the order is a further specific directive for mercenaries and conscripts;

The reference strategy is the supporting parameter data provided for the north-south land and sea batteries, self-propelled combat vehicles, and the next stage of operations under the ancient tree of war, which will first be analyzed by the artillery command center before forming instructions and being transmitted to various grassroots units.

"All of them! After the countdown, press the 'Fastest Lift' button! Start now! 10、9、8.....3.....”

Benniel didn't have any real sense of his control, but he still strictly followed the instructions of the prefect, and when the countdown came to '0', he pressed the most conspicuous button in the 'root control zone' as fast as he could.

And when he, and even the rest of the more than 40,000, corresponded to the specific actions of the bottom of the two large volcanoes in the east and west, at this time, they pressed the buttons in their respective cockpits;

Two large nets, one east and one west, with meshes several meters square, began to rise rapidly along the magma path in the base.

In the process, countless magma fluids were filtered from the top of the mesh to the bottom, and those solids larger than several meters in size were rapidly rising by this force.

After that, only a 'bang bang' sound was heard, coming from the direction of the crater.....

Benniel looked across from him along the lookout and saw the scene of thick lava erupting from the crater;

It did not 'erupt', but scattered fireworks in all directions, until tens or hundreds of meters away from it turned red to dark and fell downward, becoming a 'heavy rain' composed of semi-molten magmatic rocks.

‘pia！ ’‘pia！ ’‘pia！ ’.....

The half-solidified magmatic rock sparsely slammed down on the branches of the magic plants that Benniel controlled, and everywhere around him, but his eyes were not drawn to this strange sight that he had never seen or imagined before;

Because, there is an even more jaw-dropping scene that has just happened, and the 'magma rain' is really just a small scene that is not worth mentioning.

The reason why magma is 'spout' rather than 'erupt' is because the main force ejected from the crater has other .....

Two behemoths 120 meters long, tens of meters wide, and more than 10 meters high smashed the rock wall at the mountain pass after the magma 'spark';

Then, they 'led' the hundreds of 80-meter- and 40-meter-level small figures behind them, and they were catapulted in an east-west direction towards the center of the predetermined battlefield.

Immediately after, a deafening roar was heard.....

The roar comes from the south and from the north, both from dozens of kilometers away and from several kilometers away, different distances, different powers with a time difference given by nature, 'boom' resounded in all directions;

As a result of their roar, they all ended up above the valley floor of the battlefield, causing a continuous roar and another 'pouring rain' from scales and minced flesh on the parabola.

~~~~~~~

Bennier's mouth was wide open and his eyes widened, and he watched the unimaginable in silent shock;

At this time, he somewhat understood that in this 'wonder' that was rare in his life and may even be seen only today, he definitely had his own contribution;

But what he couldn't understand was that such a small self, just pressing a few buttons one after another according to the instructions, how could there be such a huge change?

These things, naturally, are not something that he can understand as a resident of a city-state....

The two magma holes in the east and west each correspond to more than 20,000 magic plants, and each of these magic plants has a root system, not to mention thousands.

When all these roots come together, the volume they can achieve is in the hundreds of thousands, millions.

If the combined force formed by them could be exerted in the same direction, the effect would be comparable to that of any great individual in nature.

If it weren't for the lack of control methods, the huge consumption, and even the fact that these magic plants and the more than 40,000 drivers in them alone, the headquarters would be confident that they could complete all the plans this time.

However, in order to accelerate the speed of root fusion and movement, and obtain an explosive force sufficient to overcome the resistance of magma, the headquarters spent a full 20,000 tons of 'nutrient concentrate' inventory;

They were buried inside each spell plant in advance, and were a key factor in changing the plant's ability to move slowly, and the previous root burst alone consumed nearly half of the pre-storage.

At this point, the first phase of the root network has come to an end, and they no longer need to be controlled by Bennier's pilots, but instead follow a predetermined process, stopping movement at the junction of the crater and the base, and proliferating in the mesh between each other;

Gradually, they turned from a 'net' to a wall, and withstood the onslaught of hundreds or thousands of salamanders below, cut off from their path.

And the remaining half of the nutrient concentrate is also being consumed little by little at a rate of more than ten tons per lamp in this continuous impact.

~~~~

When all this happened in the 'corner' that the drivers could not perceive, new commands had been passed to their ears by the totem communication device.

"All the mercenaries in Area 42 are there! The action goes to the next stage! Take control of your four sets of vines and follow my orders to ***-***-***! ”

Benniel came to his senses at a new order, and he immediately began to manipulate the vine bindings as the troll commander had ordered;

After nearly a year of repeated exercises, the complex azimuth coordinate coding is no longer something difficult to understand....

The many fingers engraved with the 'body-electricity' totem reflexively completed their mission faster than their thoughts, and then four groups of vines followed the command and stretched towards the coordinate point that was temporarily empty.....

Bennier's attention was always divided into parts and stayed at the lookout, although there were ten thousand fears in his heart, he really didn't want to miss this rare view for the rest of his life.

So, as his fingers flew on the console, his eyes reflected everything in the sky in the distance.....

Hundreds of monsters, large and small, were drawing non-overlapping curves in the air according to their respective sizes, and the most conspicuous of them were the two largest ones;

Benniel vaguely felt that although the two large monsters looked similar, the one close to him seemed to be stronger, and even the roar from his mouth at this time seemed more neutral;

The other one was a little sluggish, different from the former's dark red scale armor and strong body, its scale armor seemed to be a little broken, and there seemed to be a cyan hideous pattern on it.

However, after all, Benniel was not a talented fighting race, and his limited farsightedness was not enough to support him to clearly confirm all of this in these few seconds;

That's right, the time he had to satisfy his curiosity was only a few seconds..... When this short window passed, countless small black dots completely obscured his vision.

If Benniel had been a witch doctor or a troll warrior with super sentient powers, he would have known the black spots for what they really were......

It was a total of 1,480 tail and sub-caliber armor-piercing shells, which drilled out of the four arms of the ancient tree of war and from the barrel of the self-propelled combat vehicle, and fired from the north and south at a chamber speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per second;

In the piercing whistling, it took less than two seconds for the group of armor-piercing bullets to reach every point on the parabola that the monsters were 'traveling' through, and then another fierce and continuous roar sounded;

The whistling and the splashing of blood, broken flesh, and remnants of armor became the master of vision at this moment, and everything in this heaven and earth became the blood-red foil of the sky at this moment.

Under Bennier's stunned gaze, the sea of flesh and blood finally broke its previous upward trajectory and rolled and fell towards the ground under the attack from the north and south.

'Winter! ''Winter! ''Winter! ’..... The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground continued to sound, followed by a painful roar that resounded across the battlefield.

Benniel was both shocked by the terrifying attack ability of the troll race, and amazed that flesh and blood creatures could survive the previous attack, but before he could make a slight movement in astonishment, another whistling sound from far and near penetrated his consciousness;

In the afterglow, Benniel saw that the north-south sky was once again obscured by black dots.....

In the north, more than 800 420 rifled heavy guns had already roared before;

The same was true in the south, where a thousand rifled heavy guns of the same caliber roared in 40 positions;

At this moment, when the axolotls shattered their scales and splattered flesh under the armor-piercing cannon launched a little later, and landed one by one in the range that the witch doctors had calculated, 1,800 heavy bombs, ranging from a few tons to a dozen tons, finally crossed their respective flight distances, arrived here, and then turned their heads and smashed down into the sky in the center of the battlefield.

This was far more powerful than the previous armor-piercing cannon, and in the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 tons of metal projectiles smashed from the end of the field of vision and fell into a space less than 800 meters in a radius of less than 800 meters.

And this blow also forcibly raised a burst of mist composed of gravel and flesh droplets on the ground....

At this moment, the group of vines from the east and west finally arrived, and after a data fine-tuning by the commander of the upper peak, they swarmed into the blood mist, entangled one east and one west with a certain or several huge things.

Bennier's Adam's apple was stirring, and although his tongue was dry and he couldn't produce any fluid, he still subconsciously kept swallowing;

Two successive waves of terrorist attacks have increased the fear in his heart several times;

But even after such an exaggerated bombardment had passed, the command order from the top was still as firm as iron..... What does this mean?

This means that the war will continue, because it is true that there are creatures that survive such blows ....

'Please... Please, go and die.... I want to go back alive....'

Bennier's prayer may be the truest portrayal of the hearts of many horn-hoofed mercenaries at this time, but the reality is often composed of tragic scenes full of drama, and their wishes seem to be in vain....

~~~~~

Two roars, one strong and one weak, were heard at this time, and this sound visibly swept away the fluttering dark red mist, making the situation in the center of the battlefield gradually clear.

It was a landscape of metal, flesh, and blood.....

Nearly 2,000 heavy projectiles had previously been densely smashed on the magmatic rock ground with a radius of less than a kilometer;

Because it is not a soil structure with strong cushioning force, there are large rock formations that have been shattered by the impact of these non-exploding projectiles, forming craters that are sometimes more than ten meters deep, and some are 'only' meters, and they are connected to each other.

At this point, these deep pits together form a 'lake', which is filled with semi-fluid 'lake water' that cannot tell whether it is flesh or magma.

And that's not all, the vines that cover the sky have burrowed into the 'lake' from all directions, and are pulling something away from the east and west;

Time is counted in light seconds, and the action in the east seems to be the first to take the lead, and 80,000 groups of vines drag a big guy ashore little by little...

The vines were bound to its head, four legs, and long tail, revealing a barely an inch of structure that still remained intact, and was inlaid with large and small heavy bullets, as well as dense armor-piercing cores;

】

The muscles several meters thick had become tattered, and dark red, cyan bones and wriggling viscera could be seen inside.

Even though the situation is so miserable, this creature is still not dead, and its body is healing itself at a very slow pace;

As it was dragged ashore, the sound of 'jingle bells' began to sound continuously, which came from the projectiles embedded in the monster's body, which were now being squeezed out of their bodies little by little, falling to the ground with the sound of metal colliding.

Even so, it was hard to tell whether the cyan streaks that covered its body hurt it the most, or whether the two rounds of shelling that had made it unrecognizable hurt it more.....

Gradually, the monster began to struggle;

Its body was constantly undulating in the drag, its stubby neck was tentatively bent in all directions under the lead of the crest column, the flat tail behind it was also deflecting to the sides, and the two pairs of flippers were constantly swinging back and forth;

Obviously, there are tens of thousands of vines either drilling out of the ground or extending from mid-air, forming layers of restraint everywhere on their bodies, but at this time, these vines are making a 'creaking' sound, and occasionally you can hear the breaking sound of 'bang' and 'bang', all of which show the terrifying strength of their struggle.

Naturally, the command could not have watched all of this happen.....

The 70 Ancient War Trees on another mission had already set off after the first salvo and were heading in the direction in which the higher salamander was being dragged, and behind them to the north and south, a total of 200 self-propelled chariots with thick barrels followed.

Unlike the sea and land batteries that are still waiting for the reactor to charge in the distance, the 203mm armor-piercing cannon equipped by these guys can only complete the accumulation in 40 light seconds with the assistance of nutrient concentrate, which is the most suitable and almost the only force suitable for dispatch at this time.

As they advanced, the self-propelled chariots slowly slowed down, and they were not prepared to get too close without melee capabilities, while the tall ancient war trees were still moving forward with eight legs.....

After the first salvo, the required forty-light-second energy storage period gradually ended, and many of the barrels on the move were lifted again;

The self-propelled tank came to a halt of about 1 km and formed four echelons in the north-south direction, each of which emitted a second whistling at intervals of 10 seconds.

The outer armor that was shattered in the previous attack has not yet recovered, and the muscles have not fully recovered, and the dark red bones and wriggling internal organs are still exposed to the field of vision;

As a result, the auto-propelled vehicles were no longer fully armour-piercing but replaced with more than half of the heavy rounds, but it was too late to make more detailed changes, and they still used smoothbore barrels.

Fifty whistlings, fifty projectiles, fifty explosions, the armor-piercing bullets shattered the newly-born armor layer that had not yet formed effective strength, and the heavy bullets hit the bare bones and muscles....

In just one or two light minutes, such attacks struck multiple times like a tide, causing the monster to emit a muffled sound blocked by the vines;

At the same time, although the struggle has become more frequent, the intensity is not as impressive as before, and the body's self-healing speed has obviously decreased dramatically again.

At this time, thirty-five heavy ancient war trees in each direction of the north and south had already marched to the front of the monster in the angle of the straight line of artillery bombardment from the rear;

Each of them has a diameter of about ten meters, and with eight legs that extend to both sides, each ancient tree needs to occupy a space of nearly 20 meters to fully stand apart;

When the 35 vehicles have traveled a certain distance in the same direction, the self-propelled vehicles behind them have no firing range to use and have to stop attacking until this point;

However, the ancient trees in both directions were already firing at this time, and they relied on the four main guns they possessed, forming a continuous offensive that was not inferior to that of self-propelled vehicles.

The bombardment continued as they went, and did not really stop until they were completely encircled.....

The vitality of the higher salamander is too strong, don't look at it looking so miserable, but in fact, the recovery of the flesh has been continuing;

Even though the struggle of the body has weakened a lot, the movement of the viscera has not diminished at all;

Faced with such a situation, the shelling naturally cannot be stopped.

However, when the 70 Ancient War Trees completed the encirclement from all sides in two circles, and some of them climbed up to its body on eight legs, the attack frequency gradually decreased.

As the frequency of their attacks slowed down, and the 200 vehicles that had previously been responsible for supporting them had now completed their turns, aiming their guns at the battlefield on the other side, the momentum on this side finally stopped.....

~~~~

Among the hundreds of salamanders that were ejected from the volcano, only the two highest ones really survived, and when the momentum on this side stopped for a while, the other higher salamander was also dragged out of the blood magma pool by the vines earlier;

Unlike the smooth operation of this side, there seems to be some accident on the other side, and the operation is slipping in the direction of real 'fighting'.

The east and west battlefields were divided by the force of the previous vine groups, but in fact, they were only less than a kilometer away;

This is really not worth mentioning for these enemy monsters on the front line of the scene, who are often tens of meters or more than 100 meters in size.

However, this did not allow the ancient trees to devote even a little bit of energy to the other side, and their minds were all focused on the goals they were assigned to.

On this side, where there is a slight pause, the ancient trees seem to have formed two different divisions of labor;

Each of the 35 approaching guns has a cannon muzzle inserted into the gap between the wounds and continues to attack at intervals of 20 seconds and 30 seconds, while the other three cannons are in a state of fully charged and ready to fire to alert the perimeter.

In addition, they have two arms that do not have barrels but long vine whips, and long vines have grown from the front of them, burrowing into the body of the higher salamanders.

The other thirty-five ancient trees, which were surrounded in a ring by the outer circle, completely gave up the attack on the higher salamanders, and only extended the vines on their arms into the target's body, cooperating with the ancient trees in the inner circle to carry out a noose on the structure of their viscera.

In such a situation, almost every viscera has a special vine responsible for binding, and its tip is still along the original wound, little by little to drill deeper, even if there is no wound of the intact viscera, it is necessary to concentrate the size of the cannon to make a little gap for it, and then drill into the vine to concoct.

In this process, the regeneration of organs and the invasion of vines are constantly repeated;

The former slows down due to the injury, and then becomes faster due to the injury, and gradually forms a state of entanglement and physical indistinguishability between falling and rising.

"Achieved... Ideally... Call the person responsible.... Cage Tree No. 2.... Completed... Prepare in advance. "In the outermost circle, an ancient war tree suddenly spoke;

"Understood, I'm arriving soon, thank you for your hard work....", and then Nesta's voice rang out from the communication device.

Not long after this brief conversation ended, black dots rushed towards it from a distance....

There are nine figures in a row, and all of them are in the form of elves.

The first was Nesta, who was in command not long ago;

After that, there are the thick fangs and fangs who are responsible for the task of attracting enemies and blockading the two volcanoes in the east and west, and Aeshara and Freya, who have been in charge of assisting in the calculations of all parties and waiting for this moment;

Finally, there are the other four second-order witch doctors who are not assigned other tasks.

The nine witch doctors each carried several saplings, and immediately after arriving, they formed five inner and outer five stations, and took the lead in planting dozens of small saplings in the area between the two circles of ancient trees.

When the sapling grew and filled the gap between the two rings of the ancient tree, the witch doctor turned to the ancient tree and began to cast spells on the ancient tree;

With the help of the witch doctors, the outer shell of the ancient tree fused horizontally with each other and gradually became two oval rings, inner and outer rings;

The elliptical ring sandwiched the circle of saplings that had grown in size, and together surrounded the almost motionless higher salamanders in the very center.

After that, a large number of woody layers in the double-layer ellipse were transformed into vines, which were connected with the sandwich saplings and the fusion between the three layers was preliminarily completed.

Immediately afterwards, the vines that had already penetrated into the salamander's viscera began to have new functions, and there were more pointed vines of the same type, which spread towards the viscera, towards the leather layer, and the scale armor, and gradually had a tendency to wrap and even merge the entire salamander.

In this process, the inner circle took the lead in completing the self-locking, and the ancient trees, endophytic vines, and foreign vines from the east and west gradually became a complete inner core under the control of the witch doctors.

In the inner core, the salamander is gradually lifted vertically and bent upwards along the ridge, making the original body length of about 120 meters cruelly folded;

Its tail is tucked into a wound and its head is bent inward;

Eventually, the higher salamander was transformed into a cube 50 meters long, 40 meters wide, and 35 meters high.

At this time, the witch doctors of the inner circle returned to the outer wall and began to work together to accelerate the full fusion of the outer ring, the mezzanine, and the inner core....

Finally, 70 ancient war trees, more than 100 functional saplings, and 80,000 groups of vines from afar have completed their own unity and functional convergence, turning into a high-strength, multi-functional temporary cage with a diameter of 60 meters and a height of 80 meters.

This speed is much faster than when the cave wolves were captured.

As for the reason for this, the first is the strength of the target's resistance, the second is the growth of the witch doctors, and finally the preparation in advance;

The first two have been shown very clearly, needless to mention, and the final preparation is reflected in...

The 70 ancient war trees already had additional arrangements in terms of strength and fusion speed, and the more than 100 saplings that were added later provided other functions;

Based on this, with the addition of a third-order, three senior second-order, a second-order tree spirit (equivalent to senior), and four newly promoted second-order, the process was continuously debugged and accelerated, and finally the 'cousin' and 'cage tree No. 2' of the previous cave wolf cage were successfully combined and effortlessly completed the capture task.
