Chapter 2318 The Footsteps of Conquest (Gagen)
This morning, the patrol team sent by Leto discovered that the jungle on the south bank of the Yifen River had undergone a change. Large areas of green trees withered inexplicably, and the withered plants were quickly transformed into living plants, pulling out their roots from the soil, like wild animals. Moving like that, they gathered towards the goblin camp.
After receiving the news, Letu reassured his subordinates and told them that they were the "Blighters" of the Conquering Order, and they were using the root nodules of the magic tree Ganthias to transform the trees into "Blighters"—they would fight with the Goblin Corps. Join forces against the Asa tribe of the Algonquin tribe.
The number of "blight monsters" gathered by the river continued to increase, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, the total number had reached nearly a thousand.
At the same time, the commander of the "Withered Monster Corps" "Snake Hand" Sharman finally came to Letu's camp, and his two old partners - "Nine-Headed Troll" Scala and Orc Chief Culkin "The Ripper".
Letu hosted a banquet in his headquarters to entertain his allies. Although the wine was dry and the atmosphere was harmonious, when talking about the prospects of the war, the hobgoblin lord seemed to be full of concerns.
"Mr. Shaman, in the past two years, the Asa people have continued to expand their power in central Yalfheim, and have established a military alliance headed by Powhatan Village. There are more than 50 tribes participating in this alliance. The total number of Asa warriors who are proficient in riding and archery exceeds 10,000."
"There are no less than 3,000 troops directly under the Algonquin tribe, and hundreds of fortresses and more watchtowers have been built around Powhatan Village. Vicious activated vines and thorns grow everywhere between the fortresses. Even the tigers, leopards, and jackals in the jungle are mostly the accomplices of the Asa druids and rangers, and it is said that there is a powerful mythical ancient tree in Powhatan village!"
"If we attack the Algonquin Valley head-on, even if we pay huge sacrifices, we may not be able to break through the defenses. At the same time, we must beware of the allies of the Algonquin tribe coming to support. Frankly speaking, there is almost no chance of winning."
"General Letu, if there is really no chance of winning, why would our wise and wise Pope Duolan Teresi entrust me to come all the way to cooperate with you against the Asa people?" Shaman raised his glass with a smile, "Your Excellency, don't worry, the Pope has already thought about your concerns, and has already formulated a set of countermeasures to win!"
"Really?" The hobgoblin lord was dubious, "Mr. Shaman, can you reveal Lord Duolan's battle plan, so that I can have a clear idea."
"Well, it's very complicated to explain in detail. I happen to have enough food and drink. If you are interested, General, you might as well go for a walk by the river with me, and show you the new spell that the Pope taught me." Sha Man put down his wine glass and added in a mysterious manner: "A spell specially used to attack cities and fortresses."
Letu's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and followed Sharman out of the barracks. Culkin followed suit.
Only Scala was still sitting at the dining table, all nine mouths were eating Hesse, and he didn't bother to pay attention to what Sharman and Letu were talking about.
Not far from the barracks, in front of you is the turbulent Eve River, with dense trees growing along the river.
Sharman walked up to the woods, chanted a prayer in praise of the evil god "Wood Destroyer" Teresis in a low voice, and after the one-minute casting ceremony ended, he raised the living venomous snake attached to his left wrist, pointing at Opposite the woods.
puff! The viper opened its mouth and spewed out a black mist that exuded a strong rusty smell.
The four nearby towering trees were polluted by the black mist that contained magic power, and quickly distorted and deformed.
Under the stunned gaze of the hobgoblin lord, within a minute, the polluted oak tree turned into four large catapults!
"This is the 7th-level spell 'Conquer the Forest' given to me by His Holiness the Pope. It can create four large 'Living Catapults' with one cast."
Sharman snapped his fingers triumphantly.
Four "activated catapults" displayed side by side by the river responded to his order, and the "spoon"-shaped catapult at the tail burst into golden magic light, automatically generating four round stone bullets weighing a hundred pounds.
There is no need for anyone to operate it, the "activated catapult" works automatically, throws the stone bullets out, draws four graceful arcs in the air, and lands on the other side of the Yifen River one after another, blowing down four big trees, and the gravel splashes, incidentally Shred bushes within 20 feet!
"The catapult created by magic can move on its own, automatically generate shells, and enter the combat position. On average, it fires a stone bullet every six seconds. It can accurately hit the target with the size of an adult human within two thousand feet, and it can cause an average of 6 energy levels. Blunt damage, and the exploding rubble incidentally deals 3-level splash damage to enemies within a twenty-foot radius of the point of impact."
"It's amazing! It's amazing! It's the best weapon for conquering the fortress!" Letu applauded, "Mr. Sharman, how many of these catapults can you make at most every day?"
"Eight... No, twelve is fine!" Sharman replied confidently, "With my mana, the catapults I created can last for thirteen hours."
"Is there a maximum of twelve per day..." Letu touched his chin and calculated, "It should be enough to gather all the catapults and dismantle the fortresses outside Powhatan Village. I'm afraid the wooden components are too brittle. , it broke down within a few rounds of bombing.”
"Hehe...Your Excellency, you are simply worrying too much."
Sharman walked up to a catapult, raised his staff and struck the body, making a crisp sound like striking metal.
"While the trees are transformed into catapults by magic power, the material has also changed, from ordinary wood to steel-hard 'Adamantine Wood', which can throw thousands of shells continuously without failure. In addition, there is another advantage, that is, Not afraid of fire." Sharman introduced.
Letu was relieved now, and tried his best to praise "Snake Hand" Shaman, and then asked him when he planned to launch a general attack on Powhatan Village.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, our army has just begun to assemble, and there are two follow-up troops on the way. They will be able to join us the day after tomorrow at the latest. At that time, we will concentrate all our forces to launch a general offensive and try to destroy Yar within a day." Gangjing tribe, do not give other Asa tribes a chance to come to rescue, this is the battle plan formulated by our lord Pope."
Letu nodded knowingly, and then asked Sharman: "Who is in command of the other two troops, and how many troops do they have?"
"The troop closest to us is commanded by Lord Sade, the Overseer of Hanging, including hundreds of 'hanging trees' and double the number of 'blood-sucking tree roots'."
Sharman hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"Master Sade's corps is also composed of activated plants, and the number of troops is far inferior to my 'withered corps', but I have to admit that the combat effectiveness of the 'Sade corps' is stronger than that of the 'withered corps'."
Five chapters were posted today, and if nothing unexpected happens, there will be at least four chapters tomorrow.
I will do my best to keep this update momentum going—by the end of the month, I will guarantee at least four chapters a day, otherwise I will be too sorry for the editor giving me so many precious opportunities for recommendation.
It stands to reason that a wave of tickets is required as usual after the update, but considering that Christmas and New Year’s Day are approaching, there may be double monthly ticket activities at the end of the month. If you have a monthly ticket, you can save it until the event at the end of the month. One Top two.
If there are recommendation votes, please vote for two more, thank you!
