Chapter 753: Nature's Might
The intelligent species of Azeroth learned to use fire and water to destroy their enemies back in ancient times.
These two most primitive powers of nature, although difficult to manipulate as an arm's command, are very useful in certain environments.
The Burning Forest Spirit was not originally created by Sarean, he learned it from the off-the-beaten-path Vandal Deerhelm.
Most Druyin are very protective of nature, and in order to avoid injuring the trees when killing forest spirits, they are reluctant to use fire attacks in the forest.
But Van Dahl is a radical Druyin.
No one doubts Van Dahl's love for nature, but he is not pedantic like other Druyin, and will choose the most efficient solution for the current situation.
Led by Lensar Giant Hoof, Valshara Druyin suffered greatly from the Forest Elves, who did not dare to attack the Night Elf settlement, but once in the wild, these hordes of little bastards would frantically harass the people who went out, which was annoying.
Lensar Giant Hoof also tried to gather his forces to exterminate the forest spirits, but the cunning creatures fled when they saw the large army in action, scattering and hiding in the woods.
This tactic of avoiding large enemy forces and harassing small groups of enemies is quite similar to Drust's, but the combat effectiveness of the two is completely different.
Although Drust is unpredictable in terms of coordination, their individual combat power is strong enough.
Once the forest elves are left alone, Salian even suspects that they will not be able to defeat the weak goblins.
Goblins empty-handed, of course, without any explosives.
Vandal once used a small trick to lure the forest spirits of Val Sarah to a waterhole, and with the help of the elven dragons, he created a large-scale illusion and trapped all the forest spirits in it and set them on fire.
Obviously there was a waterhole next to it, but Lin Jing, who had been hit by the illusion, turned a blind eye and screamed and spun in place.
The fire attack burned tens of thousands of forest spirits at one time, losing the advantage of the cluster, and the surviving forest spirits could only hide near the habitat with their tails between their legs, and never dared to jump out to make trouble.
With ready-made homework to copy, Sarjan doesn't need to use his brain, as long as he can replicate Vandal's configuration, and most importantly, find a group of helpers who are good at illusion.
The goblins led by Moonberry happen to be good at illusion, and the fairy wood spirit, Sylvan, and Vokayin, who have long had a grudge against the forest spirit, are also willing to contribute to Sarren's plan.
With the concerted efforts of many of the inhabitants of the Vaal Immortal Forest, the forest spirits who haunted the woodland were cleverly lured to assemble near the pool in the south of the Immortal Forest.
When they "unexpectedly" met with other clansmen, the forest spirits were very surprised for a while.
At this time, the elves led by the moonberries planted a large-scale illusion enchantment around the pool.
In the subjective view of the forest spirit, the nearby pools all turned into a black greasy liquid with a pungent smell.
Due to the effect of illusion, all the forest spirits did not have the abrupt feeling of sudden changes in the environment, and they subconsciously stayed away from the camouflaged open-air crude oil pools.
"Meaning! Disgusting! ”
There was also black oil flowing on the wet ground, and the forest spirits would show a very obvious disgust when they stepped on the oil.
However, the crude oil dumped on the ground was not an illusion, but an accelerant that Sarean had arranged in advance.
"It's time."
Saljan turned his head to look at the leader of the Desolate Hunting Regiment who was guarding the Vaal Immortal Forest: "Let's do it." ”
"Hiss~"
The female Woka Yin took a deep breath, pulled the bowstring with a solemn face, and wound an arrow with an arrow burning with flames, and the dozens of Woka Yin beside her followed suit.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Under the orders of the team leader, all the rockets were projectile and landed on the grass where the forest spirits were walking.
"Boom!"
The crude oil on the ground was quickly ignited by the flames, and the forest spirit, who was surrounded by the fire, woke up like a dream, turned around like crazy and wanted to escape.
"Don't want to run away!"
Some of the Sylvans and Fairy Wood Spirits had already blocked the retreat of the forest spirits, and the fairy wood spirits manipulated the plants on the ground to grow wildly, forming a wall of grass and trees, trapping the forest spirits who tried to escape in the ring of fire.
Lin Jing, who had suffered a big loss, had already realized what the black liquid under their feet was doing, and subconsciously avoided the pools of black crude oil beside them, thus missing their only chance to escape.
"Ahh
"Help! We don't dare! ”
"Mom!"
The screams in the fire circle one after another made the faces of the Hilvan and the goblins who had arranged the siege network unbearable, and the fairy wood spirit, who was deeply affected by the forest spirits, and the more disciplined Woka Yin were more calm.
Moonberry, who maintained the illusion barrier, also showed pity on his face.
"Is it really necessary to get to this point, Sarean? It's too ...... to be burned alive"
Before Sarian could reply, Tashmur retorted in a deep voice, "Lord Moonberry, I admire your kindness and compassion, but please don't use these precious feelings on your enemies. ”
"You're not a native of the Vaal Immortal Grove and don't know much about what these bastards have done to our people, all I can say is ...... This is the retribution they deserve. ”
Moonberry was a little unhappy, but she also knew that Tashmoor's words made sense.
After all, the moonberry from the heart of the forest is not the victim of the victims, and cannot intercede for these forest spirits on behalf of the locals.
Saryan echoed Tashmur's words and said, "Moonberry, there is also this little bastard called the Forest Spirit in my world. ”
"You should also know that the Night Elves of Azeroth have a love for nature, and they have developed friendly relations with the vast majority of intelligent races living in the wilderness, and call them great allies of nature."
"However, Lin Jing happens to be not included in these natural allies, why do you think that?"
Moonberry looked at the forest spirit who was still struggling in the fire ring suspiciously: "Is this species called forest spirit really so annoying?" ”
"Huh~" Salian chuckled noncommittally, "Trust me, you won't want to be neighbors with them." ”
"Imagine 50 pranks around your home every day that are 100 times more than a leprechaun, how would you feel as a victim of a prank?"
Tashmur: "Kill!" ”
Moonberry: "......"
……
This fire attack and ambush battle wiped out thousands of forest spirits at once.
By the time the Immortals channeled the water from the nearby pond and the sand that had been prepared to extinguish the fire, the area burned by the flames had been burned to a white ground, covered with charred black charcoal.
This devastating loss is enough to make the survivors of the forest spirits who inhabit the vicinity of the Vaal Immortal Forest remember it for the rest of their lives, and they will definitely weigh the gains and losses when they want to play a brazen prank in the future.
Vaal Immortal Forest's henchmen were finally relieved, and a refreshed Tashmur happily kept his promise and told Sarayan and Moonberry the location of the Thornwhisperer.
"Heartwood?"
Tashmur nodded: "Yes, the Heartwood Forest is not far east of this town. ”
"It's a relatively barren woodland, and the local residents of the Blazing Blue Fairy Field don't want to live there because they don't like the bad environment."
"About 2,000 years ago, a large number of Druster people fled into the Heartwood Forest in a hurry, and they were never seen again, and we thought they were long gone."
"It wasn't until not long ago, when the forest spirits indiscriminately harassed all the races in the vicinity of the Vaal Immortal Forest, that the scouts of the Desolate Hunting Regiment discovered a small group of Drustians who were being chased by the forest spirits."
Tashmur said with some confusion: "Strange to say, those people are completely different from the habits of the Droucians we are familiar with. ”
"They are not using the dark and twisted power of death, but the life force that is full of life."
"In the face of the pursuit of the forest spirits, they did not turn around and kill the enemy like the other Dreustrians, but fought and retreated, using plants spawned by natural spells to block the forest spirits on the narrow mountain path and take the opportunity to escape."
Tashmur's seniority is not old, and when Durous first entered the Shadow Realm, he was just a sapling.
"Hmm~" Yueberry, who seems to be young but actually has a lot of experience, said thoughtfully: "Isn't it very like Derust when he first came to the Blazing Blue Fairy Wild thousands of years ago, with a peaceful temperament and kindness to others?" ”
"Oh! Yeah! ”
As soon as Moonberry reminded him, Tashmur immediately echoed: "It's like Droucher back then, and the group of guys who like to cause trouble now, like two different races. ”
After pondering for a moment, Sarian asked, "So, they haven't left since they settled here more than 2,000 years ago, and they have never been in your sight?" ”
"I guess so." Tashmur scratched his head in confusion: "To be honest, I'm curious about why they can hold on to the barren heart wood forest for so long. ”
"If it's us...... unimaginable. ”
Saryan said with some emotion: "This is called from luxury to frugality, the orthodox thorny whisperer is very good at hard-working, and it is completely different from the group of iron Hanhan under the command of the Gaolaik family." ”
Moonberry: "Tashmur, please arrange for someone to guide us, we still have a task to do, so we won't stay in the Vaal Immortal Forest for a long time." ”
"No problem, Lord Moonberry, I wish you both a good trip."
