Chapter 792: The Great War is Imminent
"Lord Akabane, have you figured out where the Tucan Air Force is located? Are we ready to fight back? Gavin was asked about a Leesserman witch.
Usmail City doesn't have any air power, it doesn't mean that Gavin doesn't have it, but they have always been beaten passively, but they have no intention of dispatching, including Gavin's three-plate axe, which is not easily used, just to hold back the big move and give those Tucan Eagle Knights as hard as possible.
Many tricks can only be used once, and when the enemy is on guard, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The Leesserman witch in front of her is not the one she saw in the Letheman refugee camp, but a big man from the Letheman Kingdom, a member of the Witches' Council, a legendary Leesserman witch, who calls herself Akabane, and ten quasi-legendary Letheman witches who came with her.
While the Kingdom of Lesserman has shown great importance for the food that Gavin has brought, it has also shown a strong foundation, and it is not for nothing that they have been able to fight against Serre's red-robed mage for many years.
"The situation is more complicated than imagined, those Tucan people not only sent a large number of eagle knights to harass them in turn, but also colluded with the evil forces in the giant valley, and the place where they stayed overnight was not defenseless, and it was difficult to launch a sneak attack on them."
Although the legendary Lesserman Witch couldn't read her expression clearly, there was a clear solemnity in her tone.
"The local evil forces of Giant Valley? Is there still such a existence? Gavin asked in surprise.
In the past few days since he came to Jugu, he thought that he had touched the situation here, and he had never heard of such an existence in Jugu.
"Before I do that, let me introduce you to a friend, Hanso, Lord of the Nighthawk Tower and one of the Grand Druids of the Rice Order."
The Red Feather Witch didn't answer Gavin's question directly, but pointed to the falcon that had fallen from the sky.
With a soft magical aura, the falcon's body twisted and transformed into a lean human male, with a large number of tattoos on his body, all of which were related to nature, most of which were birds.
The clothes he wears are also like woven from various feathers, which can be called gorgeous, exuding a unique wildness.
"I've heard of it for a long time." Gavin bowed his respects.
This is not a polite remark, but a real hearing of the other person's name.
The Order of Rice is the name of a large circle of druids and is an important part of the Druid regime in Jugu.
The Druid regime of Juya is a collective term, and like most druids, their affiliation is not very clear, and most of them go their own way, taking care of their forests and villages in their own way.
Those who share the same ideals also form druid circles, two of which are the most famous and have a very high status.
One of them is the Order of Rice, a circle of druids whose mission is to protect the Lysle Forest, whose main area of activity is the ancient forest.
Most of the members of this order are kept under secrecy, as they live in the forest of Lysle all year round, rarely seen in front of the world, and it is unknown whether they are human or not.
Hanso and his Nighthawk Tower are the only Grand Druids of the Order of Rice who have a fixed place to live, and he is one of the most tolerant druids in the Valley.
He will not only help the kind-hearted people of the Great Valley, but he will also not hesitate to lend a helping hand to those birds and beasts who ask him for help.
The huge oak tree he lives in is called the Nighthawk Tower, not only because he likes to transform into a Nighthawk patrolling the forest, but also because there are a large number of Nighthawks who make it their home and live with the Great Druid.
"I've heard of the Lady of the Forest's guide for a long time, and I've long wanted to take the time to visit and listen to your guidance and teachings, but I didn't expect to meet you in Jugu." Hanso's unusually warm and friendly attitude towards Gavin.
He is a druid of Sivannas, the god of nature, and is naturally full of affection for the devotees of the Lady of the Forest.
Merikai and the Oak Tree Father are father and daughter, subordinate.
"Guidance and instruction do not dare to be." Gavin humbly responded, "If we have the opportunity, we can exchange our experience of protecting nature, and jointly find a way for the harmonious development of intelligent life and nature, and guide more people to join the ranks." ”
He now has a lot of experience working with these natural people and knows exactly what interests them.
Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, Hansuo said with great interest: "This is indeed an effective way out, after all, the rise of intelligent life is unstoppable......
"You two, are you talking about it too far?" The Red Feather Witch mercilessly interrupted Han Cableway, "If you want to plan for the future, you must first make sure that the forest has a future. ”
"I'm sorry, but it's more important than that." Hansoh said apologetically, "There is an army of demon trees and blighters that are raging and expanding in the Lesman Forest, and they are coming towards Usmail City.
Those Toucan Eagle Knights rested in this dark army, and those monsters had a strong killing aura on their bodies, just like the murder god Baal, and they were clearly in league with the Tucans, as the vanguard of the Tucans, clearing obstacles for them. ”
"The dark forces of the forest." Gavin's brow furrowed involuntarily, these Tucans didn't take the usual path, "How far are they from Usmael City?" ”
"At most, it's a day's journey, and given that they come out of the forest, they have no distractions, and their speed may be greatly increased, and it is very likely that they will arrive in Usmail City at noon tomorrow, and it is very likely that they will take advantage of the night to attack here, and those dark activated plants are not affected by the darkness." Han Suo said with a solemn expression.
"How many troops do they have?"
"There is no way to accurately assess this, after all, their current main body is hidden in the dense forest, and they will expand their forces with the corrupted forest, and now it is basically certain that they have at least fifty or more magic trees."
"More than fifty magic trees?" Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
The exact origins of this bizarre, ferocious carnivorous plant are unknown, either from the darkest and most sinister region of the Elven Wilderness, or from the ancient cult devouring nature.
All in all, his presence can completely subvert the world's perception of activated plants, which can also be so greedy and bloodthirsty.
The most important characteristic of this monster is that it never acts alone, but devours the flesh and soul of its victims, and bears pod fruits on its own body, each of which contains a magic treeman, who is both the seed of the magic tree and its servant, collecting more blood food for it.
Don't look at the small size of those magic trees, but for ordinary people, they are quite difficult.
After all, they are living plants, not flesh animals, and they have both plant characteristics and good damage reduction abilities, which are definitely calamity-like existences for those ordinary people.
For the Demon Tree, the Demon Tree Man is a consumable item, and as long as it has sufficient flesh and blood replenishment, it can produce a steady stream of new Demon Tree People.
Each magic tree can be regarded as a movable arsenal.
The only good thing is that those Demon Tree people have a very short lifespan, only two to five days, depending on the frequency of their activities, the more intense the activity and battle, the faster the rate of decay.
Because they can't replenish their energy, after all, they are not activated plants in the ordinary sense, but activated seeds.
If they are not cut down within a year (in this state, they are as helpless as ordinary trees and have no power to resist), they will become new Demon Trees (in the juvenile state), at this time, they can be activated again, leave the place where they take root, and find blood food to replenish their needs and grow further.
Under normal circumstances, the Demon Tree only orders the living Demon Tree people to do so when they are about to leave the area after they have swept away the food in an area, not only to ensure that their food sources will not be thinned, but also to ensure that these seedlings can safely pass through the most dangerous stage.
It is not uncommon for a magic tree and the team of demon tree people led by it to eat up all the animals in a small village or community overnight.
In those mercenary guilds, the challenge level given to the magic tree is legendary.
What is this concept?
The level of challenge set by the Mercenary Guild is based on those well-equipped mercenary squads of four to five people.
In other words, if you want to take down the magic tree without much loss of personnel on your side, it is possible to have at least four or five legendary professionals with complementary abilities join forces, after all, the reason why the challenge level is called the challenge level is because this matter is very challenging, and if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter.
A single magic tree is already so terrifying, as many as fifty demon trees form an army of joint dispatches, just thinking about it makes people's scalps tingle.
"That's not right." Gavin immediately reacted, "If there were so many demon trees in the Lysle Forest, they would have already eaten up all the living beings in the entire forest, and they didn't even notice it in the slightest?" ”
"That's what I don't understand." Han Suo said with a confused expression, "In the Lysle Forest, there is indeed a magic tree called the Lord of Withered, but he is a believer servant of the poisonous lady Talona and the ancient evil tree Gantias, mainly with the help of the withering power of the ancient evil tree to infect and corrupt this forest, our Les Order has been trying to restrain his expansion, we have never seen so many demon trees, they seem to have appeared overnight."
The area where the Lord of Blight was originally located was also shrouded in a powerful and evil force, and there was no way to get close to it from the air or from the land, and to detect the situation inside. ”
"I think I know what's going on." The Lesserman witch Akabane spoke on the side, "What is shrouded there is the power of killing, which is the same as the power that Yamen Khan has now, and the poisonous lady Talona has always been a slave god of the killing god Bal, and there is something in common in the power between the two, if Yamen Khan disregards his own consumption and shares the killing power he has accumulated for a long time......"
Hanso's eyes lit up, and he said in a loud voice: "That's right, it must be like this, it's not just because of Talona, but also because of the Ancient Evil Tree Gantias, this tree was reborn by absorbing the blood essence released by the ancient vampire when he died, and it itself has an unimaginable thirst for blood and souls.
When his power was combined with that magic tree, it made him extremely different.
If you have the killing power and the pouring of a large number of souls, you can blossom and bear fruit in a very short time, cultivate a large number of new magic trees, and form an army of demon tree people. ”
The Rice Order has been fighting against the Lord of the Blight for many years, and has long been aware of his information and made bold speculations.
"It doesn't matter how they came to be, the question now is how to deal with their invasion, according to the intelligence of the Great Druid, it is conservatively estimated that they will have at least a thousand or more demon tree men, tens of thousands of withers and more than three hundred Tucan Eagle Knights."
The Red Feather Witch said with a solemn expression, "In the face of such a powerful army, even if we have the same number of dreadnoughts, it is difficult to say that we can defeat them, let alone Usmail City, which only has a population of tens of thousands and low walls.
The city had never been through a war of this magnitude, and the moment this army of revitalizing plants arrived in the city, it would also be the moment when the city collapsed, becoming a new nutrient in the mouths of those withered demon trees, and corruption gave birth to more blighters.
At that time, it will be the moment when they will sweep across the Great Valley and attack our Legion of the Dreadnought from behind. ”
Flesh and blood do not have any advantage over these living plants.
After all, if you cut off those activated plants with an axe, the other party is likely to be painless, but if the other party scratches your claws, it is likely to make them hurt to the bone marrow, or even fall to the ground, because these corrupt dark activated plants usually carry toxins to attack during the attack.
"The citizens of Usmail must not be allowed to flee into the wilderness on their own, that will only make them die faster, those Toucan Eagle knights are waiting for that moment, and people can run, the city can't run, the grain we have unloaded into the granary can't run.
The inhabitants of this city were only implicated, their main target was still for food, and the strategic importance of the city, as long as this place was destroyed, Jugu would lose the only port that could dock large transport ships, and all supplies could no longer be transported to the front line through Jugu Hongdao. ”
Gavin organized his words and quickly analyzed the other party's strategic intentions, "This kind of corrupt monster army, the easiest stage to destroy is the early stage of their development, the later you go, the more difficult it is to destroy them.
Therefore, we should not avoid war, but actively look for fighters, inflict heavy damage on them, or even destroy them. ”
"I don't know this truth." The Akabane Witch let out a deep breath and said, "But the help we can provide is very limited, not only because the distant waters can't save the near fire, but also because the Tukans are cooperating with this withered army, they are putting all the boats and rafts they have built in the past and preparing to force their way across Lake Asen, and we must beware of them turning their fiction into reality."
However, it is still no problem to draw another team of 100 extraordinary witches, with their assistance, we can open ten ring circles and strive to summon a fire elemental army out, I believe it can play a certain restraining role in them. ”
"We, the Rice Order, will not sit idly by and watch this evil force trample on this land, before coming, I have sent my Nighthawks to pass the news here to every brother and sister of the Order, they are definitely on the way to help."
Han Suo was indignant and introduced the situation on his side, "In addition, I will make a trip to the fortress of Dansaros as fast as I can, visit the Great Druid of Nate Archich, and try to get his help, he is the strongest Great Druid in our Great Valley, if he makes a move, he will be comparable to an army." ”
The Great Druid of Nate Archie is another Druid Circle in the Great Valley that is on par with the Royce Order.
This circle of druids is more accurately called the mysterious Knightyat, named after a person, the role of the great druid in it is self-evident, and the whole circle is built around him.
Compared to the well-known Rice Order, this circle of druids, led by Knight, is more extreme, and he will eliminate all visitors he doesn't like.
No one knows where he really came from, or even if he was a man or a woman, whether he was a druid or a warlock.
The only thing known is that he is powerful and terrifying, living in a living tree castle and conducting all kinds of strange nature research, and many people have died at the hands of the living and semi-living plants that surround his castle without even having a chance to get close to his living tree castle.
Because of his guards, Damara in the northwest of the Great Valley, under the leadership of the Witch King, no matter how much his power swelled, did not dare to destroy the Rollins Forest even a bit.
Gavin asked, "Based on what you know about Knight, what are the odds that he will do it himself?" ”
"If a simple Tucan calls, as long as the forest is not burned, the probability of him attacking is only twenty percent, but if it is replaced by an army of activated plants, especially the withering power and killing power of the Demon Tree and the Ancient Evil Tree Gantias are concentrated on the Lord of Blight, the probability of his attack is as high as ninety, and the remaining ten percent is left to the possibility that he is not in his own fortress." Hanso replied confidently.
Knightyat's indifference was apparently only directed at strangers, and there was still a certain connection between him and his peers.
"How many troops can you draw?"
"There are at least ten great druids above the quasi-legendary and legendary levels, at least a hundred transcendent druids, they can bring two hundred treants over, and the druids and rangers below the transcendent are around a thousand." Hansoh conservatively estimated, "There's no way to estimate accurately on the side of the Great Druid of Knight, even for us druids, he is too mysterious. ”
"Can the troops of your Rice Order rush into Usmail City to defend the enemy soldiers approaching the city?"
"No problem, most of them will be teleported directly."
After quickly assessing the strength in his hands, Gavin couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "In this way, we don't have the strength to resist at all, as long as we carefully arrange it, we don't dare to say that it is no problem to severely damage the enemy's siege troops." ”
"Oh? How will this battle be fought? ”
"Let's talk about it in detail."
The Red Feather Witch and Hanso's Grand Druid asked at the same time, because they hadn't seen what the odds were yet.
