"They shouldn't dare to drag it out for that long, after all, this war is not isolated, and once the Tucans temporarily lose the ability to cross the lake, we can draw more witches from the front line to fight back against them."

The Akabane Witch objected, "The decisive battle will definitely break out tonight, and it is very likely that those demon trees will arrange the general attack before dawn, when our military supplies will be consumed in large quantities, and the soldiers will be exhausted to the extreme. ”

"You can't let them lead the way." Gavin paced back and forth, "Feints should also pay attention to a combination of virtual and real, if all of them are feints, then there is no point."

Put the enemy's feints on the walls and lure them from a feint to a full-scale attack, and even if they refuse to launch it, we can still make a wave of their feints for nothing, and I want to see how much cannon fodder they kill for us. ”

"It's one way, but then the number of casualties will increase dramatically." Hansen said with some concern.

"Since it's war, where will there be no harm!" Gavin said with a cold expression, "The slow movement speed is the fatal wound of these activated plants, even if they launch a full-scale attack, it is difficult to appear in a situation of thousands of miles, this is an inevitable process, it is better to control everything in your own hands than to fall into passivity." ”

"Ci is not in charge of the army, and if he gives up the tactics that are beneficial to us because he is afraid of casualties, it is the greatest dereliction of duty of a commander." The Akabane Witch suggested, "I support the Commander's decision. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm overthinking, so let's do what the Commander wanted." Hanso no longer objected.

Once the resolution was reached, the order was quickly communicated.

The city of Usmail fell silent for a moment, and even the lighting arrows for observation were no longer fired, but the entire city wall and the eighteen meters radius were illuminated.

Those spellcasters cast the Dawn Spell directly on the city walls.

Soon those withered branch monsters touched up under the cover of darkness, still feints, the formation was sparse, and there was only one withered branch monster for several meters.

"Shoot the arrows, hurry up and release the arrows, the enemy is coming."

Those novices couldn't help but prepare to shoot arrows with bows when they saw the dead branch monsters exposed to their sight, no matter how many they had.

"Save arrows, just a few little guys, is it worth wasting arrows? Rack up your shields and see. The Great Valley Rangers stopped the recruits, put away their bows and arrows, and drew their melee weapons.

They have rich combat experience, and they don't take the dead branch monsters in their eyes at all, and they are not surprised by their strange appearance, and there are many more strange existences than them in the forest.

By the time the withered twigs had climbed the city walls with great difficulty, and before they could attack, the snow chain-like sword light had arrived.

The Giant Valley Rangers invariably targeted their attacks on the slender waist of the Withered Branch, either with one or two slashes, or two or three slashes or more.

After landing, most of them lost their breath and became real dead branches.

Whether it is an animate plant or an undead, although they are not as vital as living beings, they all have vitality, even if they are undead without a physique, because this represents the essence of their soul.

When their soul essence is consumed, it is also the moment when they become dead again.

Therefore, even if they have a certain resistance to bows and arrows, if they hit too much, they will still be shot alive, and their life essence will be scattered in the process.

In this way, the feint tactics of the withered army have become the tactics of adding fuel.

Three waves came up in a row, only to make those Giant Valley Rangers wield three or four swords, and under the walls of Usmail City, there were thousands more corpses of withered branches.

Those withered branch monsters didn't even have a chance to touch the corners of the defenders' clothes, not to mention that they had climbed the city wall, and the combat experience of both sides was not on the same level at all.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The loud crash officially kicked off the war.

One by one, huge projectiles smashed into the head of Usmail City, and the defenders of Usmail City, who believed that the enemy did not have a long-range attack, were a little confused.

When I looked closely, where was the projectile, it was clearly a withered vine monster entangled with countless vines.

The violent impact did not kill them, and they staggered up from the ground, waving their vine arms to attack the defenders around them.

"Don't come here! Don't come here! Don't come here! ”

"Ah......hh Monster...... What kind of monster is this? ”

"The monster has attacked the city wall, the monster has attacked the city wall, and it can't be defended, it can't be defended!"

The Usmail militia, who had no combat experience, were directly in a mess, and they were not mentally prepared to face these monsters face to face, after all, they subconsciously thought that they only needed to guard the city wall, shoot arrows at the outside of the city, and stab spears.

"Don't mess around, these monsters aren't as scary as they think! They've fallen half dead, change their spears, and everyone in the neighborhood will change their spears and come with me. ”

Those Giant Valley Rangers stood up again, stabilized their positions, and casually drew a spear, directly against the bodies of those withered vine monsters, three or four meters of spears towards their bodies, even if their vine arms could be dragged to the ground, up to one meter and five, there was no way to attack the owner of the spear.

When the Usmail militia saw it, they immediately became bold, raised their spears, and stabbed at the withered vines.

The poking effect is extremely poor, these vines are layered on top of each other, I don't know how many layers, and they are full of toughness, just like the natural vine armor, which can play an effective defensive role, most of the stabbing is difficult to penetrate into its body, and naturally there is no way to hurt the essence of life hidden in the depths of the body.

Strength works wonders.

Occasionally, some of the more powerful ones stabbed their spears deep into the withered vines' bodies with the help of a run-up.

A thick substance suddenly gushed out of his body, black, fishy, smelly, slimy, and sticky wherever it was thrown.

Call!

Some of it splashed into the surrounding fires, causing an immediate deflagration.

"This thing is flammable, quick, quick, hurry up and use fire attacks!"

Some shrewd people reacted immediately, and directly dipped their spears in the grease that oiled the rocket, wrapped them in a layer of cotton cloth, lit them, and converted them into a makeshift musket, which poked at the wounds of the injured wilted vines.

Rumble!

The blood-like substance that flowed from the body of the withered vine monster was indeed highly flammable, and it burned violently on the spot.

Soon the whole withered vines were set on fire, like a giant torch, and they struggled frantically, as if they wanted to fight to the death, but they were held up by several spears crossed, and they could not move.

"Be careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

The Giant Valley Rangers shouted warning, but they were still a step too late.

Many immobile wilted vine monsters, whether they were ignited or dying, exploded violently, and countless fishy liquids and vines swept all around, covering a radius of four or five meters.

The Usmail militia who couldn't dodge in time were sprayed on the spot, and the withered vines that weren't ignited were at best smelly and tingled.

Those withered vines that were ignited were in trouble, and the people who were directly splashed were also ignited, and they kept rolling in pain, causing a lot of turmoil.

The black substance in the body of the withered vine monster is similar in nature to grease, it is difficult to extinguish with water, and it is very burning, if it is contaminated with clothes, it can also be removed by taking off clothes, but once it is on the skin, either this position is burned alive, or the skin and flesh of this part are cut off hard.

There are many ruthless people in the Usmail militia, and they directly took out the short knives they wore with them, and the flesh was cut off, and the broken arms were broken, even if they paid a heavy price, it was better than burning to death.

"Don't fight them, push them off the walls and set them on fire with rockets."

The defenders of Usmail City, who suffered a big loss, quickly adjusted their tactics, and those Usmail militiamen used the advantage of their spears to directly frame those withered vines, either pushing them outward, or picking, and threw them directly out of the city wall one by one.

Precise rockets followed, hitting their wounds covered in rancid grease, setting them on fire.

The explosion of the withered vine monster is obviously uncontrollable, especially after being ignited, even if it falls into the group of companions, it will still explode.

Many exploded directly in the air, and a rain of fire fell outside the walls of Usmail, setting a large number of Withered Monsters on fire.

As long as the characteristics are right, these withered vines are not very difficult to deal with, although there will still be withered vines smashing on the city wall from time to time in the future, but those Usmael militia alone are enough to clean them up again.

"Prepare for a massive onslaught, and those wilts are rushing up again."

This army of activated plants actually achieved the coordination of infantry and artillery, and when these withered vines that were thrown up the city wall caused a disturbance here, countless dead branches rushed out of the darkness again, dense, like ants, and soon rushed to the city wall of Usmail City, and began to spread upward.

"What are you waiting for? Throw the fire bottle, hurry up and throw it, don't have any reservations, the enemy is on the offensive in all out its wings! ”

"All fire-based magic, attack freely, and blast them to death for me."

"City defense ballista, move, move, move, find out the guy who threw the withered vine monster for me, they are definitely not siege machines, but are thrown up by manpower, and they will definitely not be too far."

"Rockets, all rockets for covered firing."

The defenders of Usmail no longer had any reservations, and they used all their means.

In the near distance, there are fire bottles, in the middle range, there are fire walls and fireballs, and in the distance, there are rockets and city defense ballistas, and a large amount of fire magic ignites the battlefield again, cutting through part of the darkness, and it is densely packed with dead branches, dead vines, and dead needles like ants.

If the Withered Vine is the infantry of the Withered Army, and the Withered Vine is a self-detonating control class, then the Withered Needle Monster is a long-range class, and they can launch the needles on their bodies from more than ten meters away from the city to attack the enemy on the city wall.

Despite the fact that these needles are made of wood, they are relatively close, but their penetration ability is stronger than those heavy crossbows, and the masonry walls can not be measured by a few centimeters, not to mention those cotton armor and animal skin armor, which can be easily shot through.

The most troublesome thing is the paralyzing toxin contained in this wooden thorn, and the position where it is shot, it will soon lose consciousness.

If you are shot three times in a row, even if you don't hit the critical position, you will lie on the ground paralyzed and unable to move for half a day.

If more than five shots are struck in a row, and there is no corresponding healing magic to heal, it will not be long before the victim dies suddenly because their heart is paralyzed and stops beating.

Normal Withered Vine Monster does not have this self-detonation characteristic, and there is no paralyzing toxin in the needle prick of the Withered Needle Monster.

This is the result of the fusion of the withering power of the Ancient Evil Tree Gantias and the Demon Tree, causing their combat power to skyrocket.

However, when it comes to killing, the first recommendation is the humanoid creatures who are proficient in the use of various tools.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment at any cost, the withered army died dozens of times more than the defenders of Usmail.

Whether it's the Withered Monsters, or the Withered Vines and the Withered Branches, they are all falling in pieces.

Although the walls of Usmail City are not high, they are enough to drag these relatively simple activated plant monsters here.

Until the Flame City Defense Crossbow Arrows at the range of the City Defense Crossbow Arrows cut through the darkness in the distance, exposing the throwers of the withered vines to everyone's sight.

The five-meter-high walls of Usmail City were less than the thighs of the spider tree roots of the other party.

The vines like super pythons hung down from the huge canopy to the ground, rolling up the surrounding dead vines like throwing projectiles, and easily throwing them hundreds of meters away, and such vines were not one, but as many as eight on the other side.

The canopy of the tree was covered with purple gourd-like fruits of various sizes, swaying and wriggling as it slowly progressed, as if there was a living creature trying to emerge from it.

Those Flame City defensive crossbow arrows, which were thicker than an adult's arm and two and a half meters long, landed on its body like an awl, inconspicuous, and including the spider tree roots that rose from the ground, its height was at least more than thirty meters, and it was an out-and-out super-giant size.

It was surrounded by countless stout purple demon tree men, like hard-working worker ants, who turned out the half-charred beast bodies in the pit and sent them to this behemoth.

The tentacles of the vines swung and rolled them up to the main pole, and a large vertical mouth cracked from the stem, a mouth so terrifying that it was not only full of thorny tree thorns and sharp teeth, but also unusually large enough to fit a heavy carriage into it with ease.

The Magic Tree!

This is famous, the apex predator of living plants.

Its deity is even more vicious than the legend, and many weak-willed people tremble and lose the courage to confront it just by seeing its ferocious eating scene.

And such a terrifying existence is not one, but as many as thirty.

Not to mention those Usmail militiamen, even those well-informed Giant Valley Rangers, they couldn't help but gasp, only to feel chills all over their bodies, is there still a way to fight this battle?

The moment the other party arrives at the city wall, it will also be the moment when the city of Usmail is broken, because this city wall is useless to them, just raise their feet, they can step over, and the opponent's random attack can make large sections of the city wall crack.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this guy's weight is too heavy, and the speed of movement is very slow, even if it is as fast as possible to move as fast as possible, a distance of three hundred meters, enough for them to walk for several minutes.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Huge fireballs the size of a basin smashed down from the top of a magic tree, one after the other, there were four of them, and from a distance, they looked like fiery red beads, and such beads were three strings when they were smashed.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Standing on the walls of Usmail City, these beads were very inconspicuous, but by the time they landed on the Demon Tree, they had become as huge as a water tank, and after smashing on its body, the highly condensed flame element instantly exploded, and the crazy flame waves devoured everything around it.

The huge gourd-like fruit on the crown of the tree was directly swept away, fell to the ground, and split apart, revealing the Demon Tree Man inside that had not yet been fully formed, the small one had not yet seen the outline, and the large one was already the same as the Formed Demon Tree Man, but both in height and size, it was much smaller, just like a dwarf.

These Demon Tree People showed strong vitality, not only those dwarf-like Demon Tree People staggered to their feet, but even those Demon Tree People who were not formed did not die on the spot, trying to get up with difficulty.

Many tree trunks were broken on the spot, and one vine tentacle tried to resist and parry these fireballs, and was broken on the spot.

And this is only the killing effect obtained by the first meteor fireball, and there are eleven more meteor fireballs behind, which are smashed down like beads.

The slow-moving, incomparably large Demon Tree is a live target, and there is no possibility of dodging at all, the only thing to do is to wave its vine tentacles with all its strength to make a final resistance.

The seven wildly dancing vine tentacles actually achieved a certain effect, drawing as many as four meteor fireballs, and exploding them on the spot.

It's just that this method is the same as using a knife to cut the fireball, at most, it won't hit it directly, and it will exert the maximum killing effect, and the impact will not be small at all.

The tentacles of the vine that collided with it were broken off on the spot, and the flame shock wave formed by the explosion licked and ate the demon tree unscrupulously.

When the flame shock wave generated by the twelve meteor fireballs dissipated, the demon tree lay down on the spot, and its appearance became extremely miserable, with eight vine tentacles, only one of them was intact, and the remaining seven were all incomplete, and there were no needle-piercing leaves or gourd-like fruits on the canopy.

The spider's legs were also blasted off by a third of the roots, and they lay on the ground on an oblique basis.

I don't know if I'm dead or not, at least there's no way to attack Usmail.
