My Magic Age

A team of spider warriors quietly passed through the dense forest. They looked very clumsy in the woods. Sometimes the gap between two trees was very narrow, and it was difficult for the strong spider warriors to pass through. According to the past practice, they would cut down one of the trees, and then step on the fallen tree and walk directly over it.

But now, these spider scouts began to become cautious when walking through the forest. When they encountered dense bushes or dense trees in front, they also learned to detour and finish the road as much as possible with minimal energy.

I can clearly feel that these spider scouts are trying to save their own energy.

I guess maybe they have some problems with logistics support. After all, these spider warriors are very picky about food. Without the supply provided by the giant spiders behind them, they would rather starve. Maybe they are already starving now.

The spider scouts gradually increased from a team of five people at the beginning to a team of fifteen people, and then to a team of twenty people later. These lessons learned were exchanged for their blood, and the spiders have paid a heavy price.

After losing nearly 300 spider warriors and a spider commander, the Nibru spiders finally learned how to walk carefully in the jungle, how to avoid predators in the dangerous black forest, and how to avoid being exposed to the predators' sight. They began to behave.

When the predator became the prey, this role change was obviously unacceptable to the Nibru spiders.

After two days of silence, the spider scouts began to patrol the forest around the Trum stronghold again. This time, the number of patrols has increased to 20 spider scouts, but there are still spider scouts who disappear inexplicably in the team, because I got the help of the ancient war tree at this moment, and completely found the initiative to fight in the forest. I can know the movements of the spiders very accurately, and the big trees in the forest begin to open the door for us.

When we need to avoid the spider search, the trees will grow dense branches and leaves to wrap us in them.

When we want to take a shortcut to chase the spiders, the trees will provide us with the nearest shortcut.

The ancient war tree will inform the closest spider team of the specific situation through other giant trees.

Every big tree in the forest is our sentinel.

The home advantage brought by this geographical advantage is very huge.

…

The magic circle of "hypnosis" appeared under my feet.

At the moment when the spell ended, the spider team in front happened to bypass the huge silver fir tree that was fifty or sixty meters high.

The last remaining spider scout was inexplicably tripped by a tree root protruding from the ground. The pressure brought by the heavy body almost broke his legs. He seemed a little angry. He paused for a moment and looked down at the raised root. He raised the moon blade axe in his hand and wanted to cut off the root with one axe.

At this time, the voice of the spider scout captain in front of the team had come over. Because his body was blocked by the huge silver fir tree, he quickly gave up the revenge action, put away the sharp axe in his hand, and hurriedly followed.

I seized this small opportunity and cast the magic skill of "hypnosis" on his head. He looked a little dazed and his steps were a little shaky. He just took two steps forward and fell asleep against the giant fir tree.

Several thick vines quickly hung down from the tree, quickly wrapped around the spider scout, and then hung him up silently.

In just a dozen seconds, the spider scout seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Then some spider scouts returned along the same route. They were very sensitive to find that their companions had not caught up. Unfortunately, they did not think of looking up, otherwise they would definitely find the sleeping spider scout.

Those spider scouts began to become nervous. For them, the disappearance of this spider scout for no reason was like a nightmare, which cast a shadow on the hearts of every spider scout in the team, a fear of death.

Afterwards, the scout team did not stay in this area for long, nor did they search carefully, but chose to leave quickly.

I hid behind an oak tree, put my ear to the trunk of the oak tree, and could hear the sound transmitted by the ancient war tree. It told me through the oak friend that the team of spider scouts gradually walked away.

At this time, the dense branches and leaves surrounding my body slowly stretched out, revealing my body. When the spider scouts were looking for their companions, they were actually only three meters away from me, but they did not find me.

This should be considered an inertial thinking. There will be enemies hidden in those dense branches and leaves. There must be branches and leaves that have been touched and messed up, or there are traces of being broken, or leaves that have been turned up, etc., but there are no such traces. They did not even try to poke twice with the spears in their hands, and they determined that there was no one in the bushes.

Not long after, Kalancuo and Takama emerged from the bushes, followed by the minotaur Luka, whose hands were stained with blood. He casually grasped a black magic crystal, wiped off the blood and stains on it with a piece of linen, and then put the black magic crystal into the leather bag like a purse on his waist, gently tightening the drawstring.

A headless spider warrior was sleeping quietly in the bushes, and the dark red blood had already coagulated into lumps.

His body seemed to have been soaked in blood, covered with sticky blood. The spider warrior's head was like a rotten watermelon, which was split open by the tauren Luka with a moon blade ax in the bushes. , and have taken out the black magic crystal inside.

There was only a cold corpse curled up together, looking like a black rock stained with blood. A parasitic plant with reddish rhizomes quickly wrapped the body of the spider warrior, and with a This plant is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the entire spider-man warrior is quickly covered by this plant. Unless someone pushes aside the light red roots and takes a closer look, it will be difficult to find that underneath these plants is a spider. The corpse of a human scout.

The ancient war tree quietly told me: The scientific name of this parasitic plant is 'Ghoul Vine'. It grows specifically near some large corpses in the forest. It is a very ancient species. They are a cross between animals and plants. A kind of creature among them, but it is already very rare.

As the number of large beasts in the forest is gradually decreasing, the dominant animals in the forest are small and flexible beasts. It is obvious that such creatures need the corpses of large animals to parasitize, and their living environment has become increasingly It’s cramped.

I collected a few seeds of the 'ghoul vine' that are not yet fully mature from the tree vines. I think Moraya will like them very much. I don't know how she is doing in the wild swamp south of Qiyan City. , she said she would write to me.

Under the cover of dense trees, the four of us followed the team of spider scouts.

We have been chasing this group of spider scouts for most of the day in the black forest. According to the usual practice, they still need to continue walking eastward for a while before they can turn back. But now it seems that because there are already three spiders in front and behind The human scout disappeared into thin air under their noses.

This team of Spider-Man scouts had already decided to quit. They had no intention of patrolling anymore and only wanted to return to the Spider-Man camp quickly so that they would be safe.

…

During the rainy season, everything seems to be soaked in water. The city walls are covered with purple-brown moss, which is sticky and slippery to the touch.

There was a damp and musty smell in the air, hot wind was blowing through, and the clothes were wet with sweat and clinging to the body was uncomfortable. The soldier on the side was replacing the beef tendon on the bed crossbow. It will absorb enough moisture in the humid air, and then rise like dried sea cucumbers. The original toughness and elasticity will all disappear, becoming soft and powerless.

I finally had the opportunity to see this kind of weapon for city defense up close. It was the crossbows on these city walls that drove back the spider warriors who were attacking the city time and time again. These oak bases, ironwood bow backs, and beef sinews The bowstring's standard bed crossbows look slightly different from those in El City. They look more sophisticated. The gears on the cast iron capstan are a bit intricate. Only two warriors are needed to turn the capstan and draw the bowstring. .

There are four wooden wheels under these bed crossbows, indicating that these bed crossbows still have a certain degree of maneuverability.

Knight Disraeli stood on the top of the city, holding his hands on the wall and looking into the forest outside the stronghold. The situation was very clear. He turned his head and glanced at me behind him, pondering without saying anything. Obviously he was not optimistic about it either. This battle to defend the city.

Knight Disraeli looked into the distance, and then lowered his voice and asked me: "Do you think we can hold this place?"

There was no one else around. I was wearing a leather armor and stupidly carrying a long bow, standing behind him. The long bow was almost as long as my height, and the leather armor was also two sizes larger than me. I looked a little funny.

I straightened the leather hood on my head and asked the Disraeli knight, "What do you think?"

Knight Disraeli was so choked by my rhetorical question that he couldn't speak. He paused and coughed lightly before making a decision and said to me: "I have decided to go and persuade Huo Xiao later." Lord Les, the city walls here cannot stop those spider people. When they were in the mountainous area, they walked over the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground. To the spider people, this mountain city stronghold is no different from the flat ground!"

I know these situations clearly. If this were not the case, how could the previous spider-man governor have stolen those dragon eggs from the dragon's nest on the top of Aconcagua Mountain? The ability of the spider-men to cross the mountains is far greater than They were even more powerful than they imagined. It seemed that Disraeli had figured out the true strength of those spider-men, and abandoning the Trum stronghold was the best choice.

He is the kind of person who acts vigorously and decisively. Once he thinks of something, he will do it.

He ran down the city wall in a few steps. I followed the Disraeli Knight and said lightly: "I'm sorry to accompany you. I wish you success."

After getting off the city wall, I slipped into a small alley and stopped following the Disraeli Knight.

It has been two days since I arrived at Trum Stronghold.

…

(Two days ago, all the spider scouts in the forest retreated into the spider camp. Callan and I mistakenly confirmed through the news from the ancient tree of war that the Disraeli Knights brought more than 600 heavy armors. The soldiers of the infantry regiment came out of the mountains to the east of Trum stronghold.

Knight Disraeli was obviously very capable. He actually successfully retrieved the heavy armored infantry regiment, integrated them together, and led them out of the mountains. Their goal was to go straight to the Trum stronghold.

The Disraeli Knights are the bodyguards of Earl Horace, and their most important task is to protect Earl Horace's safety.

So, we discussed it and left Kalancuo and the minotaur Luka with the orc warriors outside the stronghold to support. Qige and I led the heavy-armored infantry soldiers in the valley to join the Knight Disraeli. Qige, Katarina and I hid our identities in the team, put on archer leather armor, and disguised ourselves as long archers to mix in the team.

Because the spiders in the forest have been huddled in the spider camp recently and dare not run out easily, the nearly 700 heavy-armored infantry soldiers of the Knight Disraeli took advantage of the night to successfully climb the top of the Trum stronghold with dozens of soft ladders. This is the largest batch of reinforcements that the Trum stronghold has received in recent times.

With the support of the Knight Disraeli, the number of Count Horace's personal guards has expanded to 1,200 people. Count Horace is also the most popular in the Trum stronghold for a while. At the cocktail party last night, he actually publicly promised: to live and die with Trum!

I think: this is bullshit! )

…

These days, spider warriors from the surrounding areas have been gathering towards the spider camp in front of the Trum stronghold. It seems that these spiders have lost their patience for hunting. They want to swallow up the Trum stronghold as soon as possible. They don't want to give up this piece of fat meat in their mouths. However, the situation in the Black Forest is a bit confusing now, and many spiders are beginning to feel uneasy.

In order to make the spider warriors regain their confidence, the upper leaders of the spider camp finally made up their minds and prepared to start the siege.

Thousands of spider warriors emerged from the spider forest, gathering on the battlefield outside the Trum stronghold. There was a spider commander every hundred meters.

There were nearly a thousand spiders, and there were four spider commanders in total.

If the spiders hadn't been concerned about casualties before, I think they could have broken the city in a quarter of an hour, rushed into the stronghold in one breath, and started a massacre.

Maybe before this, the spiders simply wanted to surround the Tulum stronghold. They set up layers of traps and waited for the reinforcements of the Green Empire to enter the ambush circle.

We took the initiative in the forest, forcing the spiders to choose to capture the Trum stronghold as soon as possible. In this forest area, the spiders began to lose some of their resources, and the recent loss of personnel was too large.

The inspiring words of Horace last night finally played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Now almost everyone in the Trum stronghold is optimistic that the Trum stronghold can at least hold on for another month...

I think those spiders can't wait that long.
