My Magic Age
Chapter 1423 227. Escape from the Swamp Sea
At the beginning, there were only three to five hundred tree spirit warriors throwing boulders into the spider camp. Later, thousands of tree spirit warriors threw boulders into the spider camp at the same time. When the giant stone foundations used for building the city stored in Xinliu Valley were carried out by the barbarian slaves, the orc warriors coated these stone foundations with a layer of corpse fire oil full of stench, and then the tree spirit warriors threw the burning giant stone foundations into the spider camp, causing a sudden increase in casualties in the spider camp.
At the beginning, the Nibru spiders planned to rush out from the east and west exits of the camp, but unfortunately the construct knights of Durva and Salta blocked their east gate, and I led a group of construct knights and barbarian warriors from the North Wind Legion to firmly block the west exit. The Nibru spiders tried to use the powerful spider warlords to break through our defense line in one fell swoop, but after facing the magic baptism of ice and fire, even these indomitable spider warlords rushed to the front of the barbarian slave camp. In the face of the tree spirit warriors' "thorn magic" and "death coil", the spider warlords could not withstand the damage of the magic giant crossbow.
Some Spider Warlords fell on the way of charging, some Spider Warlords were entangled by tree roots and then shot alive by the giant crossbows of barbarian slaves, and some Spider Warlords who rushed up fell under the spears of the Construct Knights. In this kind of battle, casualties inevitably began to appear. Some Construct Knights fell directly on the battlefield, and some were seriously injured and died in the battlefield medical tent. The cruelest side of the war began to appear in front of me.
The most elite Orc Construct Warrior Regiment led by Kalancuo also lost more than 20 orcs in a surprise attack by the Spider Warlord.
At that time, this group of Orc Construct Warriors carried flamethrowers and ambushed behind a slope in the middle of the battlefield. Nearly 20 Spider Warlords rushed out of the Spider Camp at the same time. This was the limit that this narrow battlefield could bear. Even if the Nibru Spiders sent more Spider Warlords, they could not fight with our knights at the same time at the western exit with a width of only a few hundred meters.
According to the tactics we had set before, once a Spider Warlord appeared, the flamethrower team composed of the Orc Construct Warriors guarding the front position would lay a fire net in front of the Spider Warlord, and then retreat along the trench behind a slope. However, in the previous battles, once these Orc Construct Warriors laid out the fire net in advance, these Spider Warlords would stop fighting and retreat to the Spider Camp, waiting for a group of big-bellied spiders to put out the burning corpse fire oil on the battlefield.
After several times of pulling like this, the Orc Construct Warriors tried to get the Spider Warlords closer. When this group of cunning Spider Warlords entered the range of the flamethrower, all of a sudden all the Spider Warlords in the front row accelerated at full speed. These ten-meter-tall Spider Warlords were like a huge black wall. They not only blocked the Spider Warlords rushing up from behind with their bodies, but also used their bodies to hold up the flamethrower and rushed to the Orc Construct Warriors who had no time to withdraw from the trench.
More than 20 spider warlords with burning flames all over their bodies burst out with powerful fighting power. Every footprint they stepped on the battlefield was stained with some sparks. Amid their roars, this team of orc construct warriors knew that they could not escape the spears of the spider warlords, and they all picked up the moon blade axes beside them. The front row of orc warriors formed a battle formation and rushed towards the spider warlords without hesitation.
The dozen orc warriors behind them rode on their horses and tried to break through the interception of the spider warlords and withdraw from the battlefield.
The orc warriors were fearless of death on the battlefield. They regarded death in battle as the greatest honor in their lives, but they would not die in vain. In this situation where they knew they would die, the captain of the orc construct warrior team made a decisive decision. The twenty orc warriors in the front row holding flamethrowers charged forward to stop the Spider Warlord in front of them, and the twenty orc warriors in the back who were responsible for the hydraulic device withdrew with their war horses. They would uphold the fighting spirit of the dead orc warriors and fight to the death for their companions on the battlefield.
However, several young orc construct warriors in charge of the hydraulic device rushed up with their companions carrying the moon blade axe, so only seventeen orc construct warriors and thirty-eight black-scaled war horses ran back alive from the battlefield.
If Justus had not seen some clues at the beginning of the battle and decisively led a group of barbarian slaves to rush out of the woods to meet the group of orc construct warriors, I am afraid that almost all of this orc construct warrior team would have died under the black iron spear of the Spider Warlord.
After this battle, the flamethrower squad of the orc construct warriors were completely defeated by the Nibru spiders. However, the Nibru spiders also paid a huge price for this. They did not hesitate to use the Spider Warlords as bait. Although the flames on these twenty or so Spider Warlords were extinguished by the acid solution of the big-bellied spiders, several Spider Warlords who were seriously burned were left on the battlefield forever. Several Spider Warlords who did not have time to retreat were shot and killed by the barbarian slaves.
Seeing that the Nibru spiders had fallen into a semi-crazy state, they took turns attacking the west gate of the camp. After the North Wind Corps' construct knights repelled the Nibru spider warriors, I asked the knights and native warriors behind to collect the bodies of the spider warriors on the battlefield and set up a corpse wall made of the bodies of the spider warriors in the middle of the battlefield. Then, all the corpse fire oil brought from the imperial capital this time was moved out from the warehouse of Xinliu Valley and poured on the bodies of these spider warriors. Kalancuo personally ignited this hundreds of meters long fire wall.
The area of 20 meters around the fire wall was too hot to approach. Even if those big-bellied spiders rushed into the fire wall one after another and exploded, there was no way to extinguish the fire wall. I then buried nearly 5,000 "continuous frost" magic rune plates in the soil of the battlefield 50 meters away from the fire wall, which meant that the rune plate workshop in the imperial capital would not be able to produce freezers within half a month.
Thousands of frost rune plates completely turned the back of the battlefield into a world of ice and snow. A light layer of frost condensed on the ground of the entire battlefield. This thin layer of frost slowly thickened over time, and in the end it was like a thick layer of snow covering the ground. This world of ice and snow was the real home of the Barbarian Slaves and the Construct Knights of the North Wind Legion, and it was also my home.
…
In addition to the east and west exits of the Spider Camp, the Nibru Spiders can also choose to step into the Swamp Sea, or open up a passage in the dead mangroves behind them and kill directly in front of the Tree Spirit Warriors.
The Spiders preferred to bypass the east and west exits of the Spider Camp from the Swamp Sea and land on the farther coastline to fight with us, but the Spiders' plan was destroyed by the War Ancient Tree. The main reason was that the Swamp Sea and the southern edge of the Black Forest were covered with dense mangroves. The large mangroves made it difficult for the Spider Warriors to move, and even our Construct Knights could not ride through the forest on horseback.
The swamp and the bushes are closely connected, forming an area nearly ten kilometers wide. This area extends to the distance where the end is invisible, becoming the first line of defense in the southern area of the Black Forest.
The tree spirit warriors are herders in the forest. Once a large number of Nibru spiders want to break through the mangroves from the coast of the swamp sea and enter the Black Forest, the tree spirit warriors will quickly activate the mangroves in this area. The mangroves that suddenly come alive will use their roots to drag the spider warriors into the quagmire. Even the spider warlords with powerful combat power, the Nibru spiders can never break through this natural defense line when facing the tree spirit warriors behind the mangroves.
In fact, on the coastline of this swamp sea, only the mangroves of the spider camp were opened up by giant spiders. Such a large area has become a spider camp, and the mangroves near the swamp sea have been cleared and turned into a white spider nest.
Probably to resist our pursuit, the spiders deliberately preserved a large area of dead mangroves in the north of the spider camp, and let a large number of giant spiders lurk in the dead mangroves, trying to stop the offensive of the Construct Knights. They only left two passages of 500 to 600 meters wide on the east and west sides of the camp, which also means that the Nibru spiders temporarily gave up the plan to capture the Black Forest of the Yello plane.
This group of Nibru spiders probably just wanted to hold on in this camp for a while. As long as the rainy summer passed and the swamp sea entered the dry season, they would lead the spider army through this swamp and return to the Great Rift Valley opposite the swamp sea. Unfortunately, they provoked a group of the oldest indigenous ancient tree spirits in the Black Forest. The war ancient trees brought the tree spirit warriors to avenge their dead companions. As long as the Nibru spiders stayed in the forest, they would have no chance of winning against these tree spirit warriors.
After the Nibru Spiders' plan to bypass our defense line and landed failed, they tried to break through the dead mangroves in the north of the Spider Camp. The Spiders wanted to rush directly to the Tree Spirit Warriors for close combat, so as to prevent all the Spiders in the camp from being crushed to death by the giant stone bases of the Tree Spirit Warriors. This dead forest that the Spiders used to block our Construct Knights became their own graveyard.
When the Nibru Spiders sent the Spider Warriors to clean up the dead mangroves, they were obviously some live targets. The giant stone bases thrown by the Tree Spirit Warriors almost always smashed them into blood and flesh. The Nibru Spiders spent nearly a week, suffering huge casualties, and finally opened a passage. However, when they tried to get close to the Tree Spirit Warriors, they found that a large group of activated trees surged up from the forest and blocked the passage they had cleared.
The Tree Spirit Warriors threw at the Nibru Spiders for a total of eleven days. The Nibru Spiders finally couldn't bear the huge casualties and began to step into this endless swamp sea.
In fact, the huge stone foundations stored in Xinliu Valley did not last long. They were consumed by the tree spirits after only three days.
Thousands of tree spirit warriors threw the huge stones needed to pile up a small mountain. The granite huge stone foundations excavated by the barbarian slaves in the quarry were used to build a mountain city on the pass halfway up the circular valley of Xinliu Valley. Unfortunately, I later found that I thought things were too simple. Building a mountain city requires more than just stones.
Later, all these megaliths were prepared to be transported to the town of Trom. However, in addition to the city walls and the town center council hall, Trom did not actually use these megaliths, so a large number of megaliths were stored in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley, and now they have become throwing weapons in the hands of the tree spirit warriors.
In fact, after the megaliths were consumed, the "ammunition" used by the tree spirit warriors was the large stone bullets that I asked Alia to buy from the imperial capital. These stone bullets were specially prepared for large catapults by the military workshop in the imperial capital. Each large stone bullet has a diameter of about six feet and weighs about 5,000 pounds. This kind of military supplies is a standing item in the imperial capital.
Because the demand for large stone bullets was too large this time, not only did I use some of Alia's connections in the imperial capital, I also asked Louis Mensa and Marquis Moxiang to help collect a batch of large stone bullets. In addition, Le Die also wrote a letter to Earl Conrad in person, asking Earl Conrad to raise funds.
Almost overnight, the price of stone in the imperial capital rose sharply, causing many civil engineering projects in the imperial capital to stagnate due to the shortage of stone. Such a big commotion also made many noble lords who were waiting in the imperial capital think that there was another big battle in the Green Empire, so these lords asked around and tried to get a share of the pie at the beginning of the war.
800,000 large stone bombs were transported to various warehouses in the airport town in batches. These stone bombs came from dozens of quarries. Probably, the quarry workshops did not think that the buyers of these stone bombs would be the same person.
The female orcs in Xinliu Valley had only one job these days, which was to keep moving the large stone bombs in the warehouse of the airport town to the front line in the southern area of the Black Forest in the Yello plane. Although the two places were only a few meters apart on the teleportation altar, the huge amount of transportation still made these female orcs who had just recovered a little bit overwhelmed.
Although the process was difficult, the group of female orcs finally survived.
On the twelfth day after the crazy attack of the tree spirit warriors, the Nibru spiders in the spider camp finally decided to abandon the spider camp and marched into the swamp sea in front of them with the remnants of the spider army.
I saw this scene standing on the shoulders of the war ancient tree elder Diram...
The spider warriors lined up in dozens of long teams and marched into the depths of the swamp sea along some shallows with slightly exposed water grass leaves...
