My Magic Age
Chapter 1360 164. On the eve of the counterattack
Before becoming a first-level intermediate magician, every time I cast the Ice Explosion spell to detonate the ice wall formation, the magic power in the magic pool in my body would be drained out at a certain moment.
At that time, I would have a certain period of weakness. Although meditation would quickly replenish the magic power, and the magic power retained in the body nodes would not make me suffer from the pain of magic backlash, but after the weakness period, it would be difficult for me to cast any magic in a short period of time.
I looked down at the gradually calming "magic tide" under my feet. I felt that when I cast the Ice Explosion spell just now, the magic pattern formation instantly formed a huge magic vortex, and the surging magic tide continued to merge into the vortex, and several ice walls burst instantly. At this moment, I seemed to be standing out, and the constantly agitated magic pool was in a full state.
Until thousands of construct knights poured into the ice and snow ruins and began to chop off the heads of the spider warriors in the ice formation. The five spider commanders were killed by the second-level knights. The spider army that chased them into the woods was completely destroyed. The subsequent spider warriors still rushed from the woods behind and entangled with the construct knights in the edge area. They soon killed the spider warriors who rushed from behind.
The construct knights of the North Wind Legion have been fighting with barbarians in the North for many years. They are not afraid of the burly warriors like spiders. They know how to use clever strength to block the attacks of spider warriors, but this kind of battle consumes physical strength very quickly. After each charge, the construct knights of the North Wind Legion will take a short break in the interval of the battle so that the construct knights and the horses can recover their physical strength as soon as possible.
The group of spider warriors killed by the construct knights left the bodies of their companions all over the ground and fled back to the spider camp in a panic.
…
In order to surround the Sun's Wrath Bridge, the Spider Army built several spider camps in the woods outside the Sun's Wrath Bridge. The spider camps were full of nests woven with white spider webs, and the dead trees were hung with various white silk cocoons, some of which were still wriggling and struggling weakly.
The indigenous warriors captured by the giant spiders were basically wrapped into silk cocoons, which became the food stored by the Spider Army.
As the number of indigenous warriors gathered near the Sun's Wrath Bridge continued to increase, the number of silk cocoons hanging on the dead trees also continued to increase.
The indigenous warriors on the periphery could see the fierce battle on the Sun's Wrath Bridge and were worried that the Nibru spiders would occupy the holy land of the ancient tree tribe, so they kept attacking the defense line formed by the Spider Warriors outside the Sun's Wrath Bridge. Basically, few of them could come back alive after rushing up.
That defense line was like a giant beast with a bloody mouth, waiting for these passionate indigenous warriors to fall into the trap.
The warnings from Earl Desmond and I worked after all. The Construct Knights stopped 500 meters outside the Spider Camp.
They did not approach the Spider Camp in a frenzy. The camp was not only heavily guarded, but also had countless giant spiders lurking in the bushes. There might also be Spider Warlords lurking in the Spider Camp. Therefore, Earl Desmond and I repeatedly warned the leaders of the Construct Knights not to approach the Spider Camp. Our home ground was in the woods.
There were dead trees in the Spider Camp, and all places were covered with a layer of spider webs. I could not get any useful information about the Spider Camp from the spiritual web of the tree spirits. I could only let Deborah explore the situation in the Spider Camp from the sky. The news Deborah brought back did not surprise me. Every Spider Camp was guarded by a Spider Warlord, and there was more than one.
…
In this battlefield in the forest area, 5,000 Construct Knights took the initiative in the battle with their war horses.
I know that the spiders have gathered a large number of warriors in the camp. They want to make the forest in front of the spider camp the main battlefield, because the tree spirits here have been completely cleared by the spiders.
But the spiders have not been able to do so.
Our knights will not fight with the spider warriors in front of the spider camp. Even if the spider warrior team wants to go around and stop the construct knights, they will be discovered by the construct knights early.
If the spider team that surrounds them is only a few hundred spider warriors, they will be attacked by the construct knights from two directions and swallowed up by the construct knights.
If the number is large, the construct knights will lead them to the ambush forest area. Few spider warriors can withstand a round of volleys from the barbarian slaves' heavy crossbows.
In this forest area, the North Wind Legion's Construct Knights and Spider Warriors started a tug-of-war. The Nibru Spiders had occupied more than half of the Sun's Fury Bridge at this time. They certainly didn't want to give up. Moreover, although the North Wind Legion's Construct Knights had a certain advantage in several confrontations, they had not yet caused any impact on the Nibru Spider's camp and defense line.
...
The Spider Legion's senior leaders felt that this battle could still be fought, so they transferred nearly 10,000 of the most elite Spider Warriors. In addition, this time the leader of this group of Spider Warriors was a six-armed Spider Warlord, with ten ordinary Spider Warlords as his deputies. Each Spider Warlord commanded a thousand elite Spider Warriors. This Spider Legion stared at our Construct Knights on the battlefield.
After we were targeted by these Spiders, the Construct Knights finally suffered casualties in another battle. Even though we had barbarian slave heavy crossbowmen and tree spirits, we still needed the Construct Knights to find ways to deal with the spears thrown by the Spider Warriors on the battlefield.
The only thing I can do is to add a layer of ‘petrified skin’ to the Construct Knights within a few dozen yards around me, or to give the Construct Knights around me an ice shield within my sight.
The black iron spears thrown by the Spider Warriors are still very lethal. My ice wall can’t block them every time. Although this forest greatly restricts the Spider Warriors from throwing spears, those black iron spears that are almost four meters long have great destructive power as long as they fly into the sky, whether it is trees or Construct Knights.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the logistics of the Spider Legion are not very good, and the black iron spears cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities. Each Spider Warrior has only one black iron spear in his hand. After they throw the black iron spears in their hands, the only weapon in their hands is the moon blade axe.
The number of injured Construct Knights gradually increased. Hemostatic bandages can only treat minor injuries. Slightly more serious injuries require the use of healing potions. However, in the current Green Empire, even a bottle of primary healing potion is very expensive, so unless they are forced to do so, Construct Knights will not use these first aid potions without authorization.
At this time, my "hydrotherapy" showed its effect on the battlefield. Hydrotherapy can promote the healing of wounds. Although the use of hydrotherapy will cause the injured to suffer greater pain in a short period of time, the healing speed visible to the naked eye still makes the Construct Knights very willing to accept the treatment of "hydrotherapy".
...
I was still very surprised that the leader of the Gilda tribe withdrew from the battlefield with more than a thousand native warriors.
At the beginning, they were hot-headed and directly attacked the defense line of the Spider Warriors with those native warriors. I thought it was very likely that all three thousand native warriors would be killed on that battlefield.
But this native leader proved with his actions that he came back alive from that battlefield with more than a thousand native warriors.
All the native warriors who came back alive were injured. Their leather armor and mail vests could block the tentacles of giant spiders, but they could not block the black iron spears of spider warriors.
The dead native warriors were dragged back by the spiders and made into white silk cocoons and hung on dead branches. The native warriors who escaped back were also covered with scars.
The native leader sat under a big tree and cried loudly. The last bit of strength of the Gilda tribe was buried by him on the Sun Wrath Bridge. These native warriors should have died more meaningfully, but now, nothing is left. What's the use of these natives standing together?
Scholar Sean gave me two skill magic books of level 3 magic, one of which is the level 3 ice magic "Ice Spike Pillar". Unfortunately, I have almost never seen half of the awkward spells in this book, and I don't remember seeing Heidi use this ice magic. I think I should ask Scholar Sean for advice if I have the chance. The other one is the third-level water magic ‘Healing Rain’. Just by listening to the name, you know that this is a group healing magic skill book, and it is an exclusive skill of water magicians.
In fact, this also explains why water magicians have always been called auxiliary magicians, and this book is the best proof.
Before this, this ‘Healing Rain’ magic book has been overshadowed by the healing aura of the sacred prayers possessed by the priests in the temple. Many people don’t even know that water magicians also have group healing magic such as ‘Healing Rain’.
Scholar Sean gave me this magic book. Recently, I have also studied it when I have time, but the success rate of casting is still not very good.
What’s worse is that once the ‘Healing Rain’ is used, regardless of whether the spell is successful or not, the treated person will experience the pain brought by the water therapy. This is also the main reason why I didn’t use the healing rain to treat the construct knights. These unnecessary pains are really unbearable.
Looking at more than a thousand injured indigenous warriors, I think if I use the water therapist to treat them one by one, I guess I will have no spare energy to do anything else.
For this group of native warriors who were actively seeking death, even a hemostatic bandage was a luxury for them.
So I asked the native leader to gather these injured native warriors together and let them line up in a square formation of 100 people, and then I began to cast the "Healing Rain" that I had just learned not long ago on these native warriors.
'Failure...'
'Failure...'
'Failure...'
'Success! '
'Failure...'
Amid the wailing of the native warriors, my "Healing Rain" magic skill was extremely awkward at the beginning, and then became more and more proficient, until there were few mistakes later. Well, I must admit that all this was summed up in the pain of the blood and tears of the Yelo native warriors.
Afterwards, this group of native warriors showed me even more "respect". The way they looked at me always felt like they were looking at a demon.
I rubbed my slightly red ears and walked out of the temporary camp of the native warriors.
It is said that if you are cursed behind your back too much, your ears will become hot and red.
Walking out of the temporary camp, I happened to see a group of elite spider warriors fleeing in the woods ahead, and a group of Construct Knights fighting with them in the dense forest. I felt a little irritated for no reason, so I called Justus over, pointed at the group of spider warriors and said to him, "Take some barbarian slaves with you and go to the front to kill that group of spider warriors. They're wandering around in the woods and annoying me."
The Siren Descendant looked at me seriously for a long time, and confirmed that I was not crazy, but just issued a combat mission. Justus led a team of barbarian slaves to the battlefield. After the Siren Descendant led a team of barbarian slaves to shoot and kill more than ten spider warriors, the battlefield calmed down again.
Every time cleaning the battlefield and collecting spoils has almost become a routine after the battle.
But the battle situation is deadlocked. The Spider Legion has almost occupied the entire Sun Wrath Bridge. Kalancuo and the orc warriors are guarding the bridgehead on the side of the Thorn Crater. There is the Lord Halo of the War Ancient Tree and 5,000 knights holding standard military crossbows. Sometimes the Spider Warriors' offensive momentum is too fierce, and the orcs of the Flame Squadron will calm them down.
In this way, the Sun Wrath Bridge has not been completely occupied by the Spiders.
And the battle on our side is also in a stalemate. Earl Desmond thinks that the Construct Knights should try to attack the line of defense of the Spider Legion, but this rash idea was rejected by me.
The turning point of the war actually came from these Yelo indigenous warriors. The leader of the Gilda tribe suddenly realized that the indigenous warriors who gathered from all directions were unorganized, undisciplined, and had no battle plan. They would spontaneously launch an attack after the number of people reached a certain limit. This spontaneous attack had no impact on the defense line formed by the spider warriors. Instead, a large number of indigenous warriors gave away their lives like delivering food.
Then the leader of the Gilda tribe began to try to organize the indigenous warriors who gathered from all directions, and then formulate some simpler battle plans in a unified manner, at least so that these indigenous warriors would not die in vain.
I don’t have enough infantry standard equipment to arm these indigenous warriors for the time being, so I can only think of some other methods.
In the end, it was Catalina’s words that reminded me.
At that time, she stood beside me, watching these indigenous warriors who had gone through so much trouble to break through the blockade of the spider warriors and rushed to the Sun Wrath Bridge to die. She said that although these indigenous people were not excellent warriors, they were a group of good carpenters, and the temporary wooden houses in the camp were all built very well!
Hearing Katarina say this, I suddenly had some inspiration, so I took the time to return to Xinliu Valley and ran to the secret room full of Hextech drawings. After searching for a long time, I really found a design drawing of a catapult recorded in the goblin era. The most important thing is that among the more than ten manufacturing methods on this catapult drawing, there is a wooden catapult...
