Scene 32 The Forbidden Orchard

After the fog in the forest cleared, the battle was almost over. The surprise attack launched by the young men of the Human Guard did bring some unexpected effects to Madara's advance army at the beginning, but after Kabais gathered more advanced undead, the situation of the battle soon became clear.

The forest is quiet—

"Master Kabais." The pale necromancer apprentice put his hands on his chest and respectfully saluted the tall skeleton in front of him.

"I thought you maggots wouldn't come to see me, Roscoe."

The flames in the eye sockets of the skeleton general in brass armor were blazing. He sat on a pile of corpses with his legs spread apart, with one hand holding his double-edged battle ax and the other hand on his knee, condescendingly Looking at this thin apprentice, he was full of contempt.

The dark lord and the necromancer have always hated each other, this time they were united under the call of the mercury rod, but they were only at odds with each other. As for the blood race, they have always maintained their own circle and rarely participated in Madara's affairs—this country has spent centuries in such a divided environment—until recently, the smoke-like The darkness just broke out from under the solid shell.

This is the original prophecy of the banshees, and it also coincides with the revelation of Goddess Elaine about the "spreading darkness in the East". Whether it is the Dark Lord, Necromancer or Bloodborn, everyone believes that this era is coming to an end, and the new era will be kicked off by Madara.

Rothko smiled, Kabais is one of the chief generals under Tagus, and he is just a small squadron leader, the gap between them cannot be counted. The only reason why this bonehead can teach a lesson is because his advance team stole the limelight of the entire flank army. Relying on 300 skeletons and more than 20 corpse witches, they defeated the Butch Guard in one fell swoop, and then designed a self-defense regiment that wiped out Qingcun so that Kabais could drive straight in, and finally cooperated with the opponent to wipe out Butch's guard. Such a result It can be described as brilliant.

According to Madara's tradition, the vanguard of the army is generally used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's vitality, and in the worst case, it is even used to delay time and serve as a buffer. Such an advance team is composed of skeleton soldiers and lower-level Lich, and Eruin can easily defeat it with a guard team that is one-third of its size.

In Tagus's plan, Roscoe was just a pawn used to disturb Boo, and the real attacking arrows were Kabais and the "ghoul" Weisa on the side-but the one-eyed vampire commander did not expect The necromancer apprentice named Roscoe gave him a big surprise. It's like he didn't expect the "Ghoul" Weisa to make a major mistake on the right wing. The battlefield is always full of variables, and even an excellent commander cannot take the lead at every step, not to mention that Tagus is known for his stability.

But this humble necromancer apprentice didn't know his future path at the moment, so he naturally wouldn't retort. On the contrary, what Kabais said was more like an honor to him. Anyway, the other party was targeting all necromancers, but he elevated his status in disguise.

He glanced at the row of cold black warriors behind Kabais, and was a little envious. He found a lot of good things during the invasion, but most of them had to be handed in, and the rest were not enough to arouse the enthusiasm of a black warrior. . I heard that there is a templar's tomb in Qingcun, which is the best carrier, but it's a pity that it is now the territory of Kabais.

It's a pity, but forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and this time Madara came here to reap benefits, and all the generals have spotted this opportunity.

He thought for a moment and replied: "Lord Kabais, some rats that slipped through the net escaped to the north. We also didn't see the refugees we saw yesterday afternoon. I suspect they are making a fuss. Their large force has already Head north into Dagger Bank."

Enough said here. The north is the control area of ​​the 'ghoul' Weisa, if he wants to recover those 'living materials',

Or at least get a share of the pie, and have to ask this 'Death God' to nod. A small squadron leader like him can't afford this responsibility.

But Kabais is not a fool either. He glanced at this little necromancer apprentice, and suddenly realized that this guy's motives were impure, so he couldn't help but adjust his jaw and made a clicking sound: "Do you want me to go with you?" What good can I get from a conflict with that bald head of Vesa, little maggot."

"Isn't it enough to further expand your own strength, my lord?"

"Hmph, it's just a rabble. I'm not interested in weak skeletons."

"I heard that there is a veteran of the November War in Butch's garrison, who is the captain of those humans."

The flames in Kabais' eyes flickered: "The gain outweighs the loss, it's cheap for Weissana kid."

Rothko sighed, knowing that his persuasion had failed. He raised his head and was about to say goodbye. After all, he and Kabais are not members of the same system. If it weren't for this matter, he would not have come here—even though Kabais, the god of death, is the general of the army, but he is a member of the necromancer. member, his advance team can completely ignore its orders.

But at this moment, he felt a slight shock in his heart, and couldn't help but look towards the south.

The tall skeletons also looked in that direction at the same time—their eyes passed through the forest and fell into the shadow of the mountains in that direction.

Such a strong magical reaction——

"It's the Xavier Mountain Road." Kabais sniffed the air, as if he could smell the magic coming from the direction of the Yusong River.

Roscoe didn't answer, because he immediately felt a stronger wave of magic power coming from that direction.

What's going on with that golden magic tree? Such a strong reaction could be felt by any wizard dozens of miles away. He was suddenly worried, wondering if the warlocks of the White Mane Legion in the direction of Riddenburg would notice anything.

"We'd better send some people to go first, Lord Kabais."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me that I know it. We undead creatures are much more sensitive to magic than you. It won't be too late to teach me when you become a lich."

Rothko smiled.

***********

Brando took Freya and Roman out of a jagged rock gap on the cliff, and he immediately gestured for the two of them to stop. From here, you can see the entire sunken valley outside. —Among the bare mountains, a gray rock sunken down, with sharp stalagmites protruding from the ground—a huge golden oak tree with branches and leaves quietly took root in the center of the cracked valley.

This is the Forbidden Orchard.

The golden magic tree absorbed the nutrients and free magic factors in the earth, the earth became withered, and the earth elements that lost their adhesion rose into the air, forming such a scene. Brando raised his head, and the sky over the entire valley was gloomy, as if black clouds were overwhelming, which was also caused by the imbalance of elemental power.

Because of the disintegration of the earth element, a large number of other elements were attracted to gather here, causing the order of the elements here to be extremely chaotic. The order of the elements is the rule set by Martha when the world was created, and it is controlled by the king of elves in all directions, but the order is not necessarily stable, just like everything done by the golden magic tree-artificial factors often disturb the environment.

Back then in this valley, the power of elementalists would be suppressed by 30% because of the abnormal elements. For this reason, at the beginning of this dungeon, almost no team would accommodate elementalists. This period of history was once called three years of blood and tears by elementalists. history. Of course, the sudden emergence of this profession later, that is another story.

Roman and Freya stared blankly at the monstrous golden magic tree. They had only heard of such a creature in bedside stories before, but they never expected to see it with their own eyes one day. For a moment, they suspected it was in a dream.

Moreover, the beauty of the golden magic tree presents a strong visual conflict with the surrounding desolation, as if you saw a realistic illusion, full of fantasy.

"Then, what is that?" Freya couldn't help asking in a daze.

"It's so beautiful, Brando, isn't that the golden apple tree in the fairy tale? Those monsters are the guards of this tree, right? I didn't expect such a beautiful creature to exist in such an environment!"

"That's the oak tree, Roman." The future Valkyrie sighed.

"Of course I know it, it's just a golden oak tree!" The merchant lady hurriedly argued with raised eyebrows.

"Don't be fooled by its beauty, this should be the most dangerous creature you've ever seen. No, it should be a monster." Brando's eyes carefully searched the entire valley, and he quickly found a patrol team of demon treants , those monsters covered in vines are slowly advancing along the rugged rocky surface——

This matches his memory from the game.

"monster?"

"Well, the monsters we encountered before were all born of it."

"How come?" Freya couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

But in fact, she and Roman also saw this patrol team of demon treants, but now they will not be too nervous when facing these monsters. Along the way before, the three of them had dealt with these demon servants of the golden demon tree too many times. Brando himself gained 65 experience points and got a tree crystal from an adult demon tree man.

This thing is a manufacturing material in the game, but I don't know how the production skills in this world are calculated. In short, put it on the body first with the guiding ideology of being prepared.

However, he found that Freya and Roman had also grown significantly during the battle, especially the future Valkyrie, her strength and dexterity had risen rapidly—after a few battles, she had almost reached the level of a cadet of the Guard. It's just that Brando still doesn't know how they gain experience. On the surface, it seems that they are much slower than him.

Because for a high-level monster like the magic tree man, it is reasonable to say that killing a few Freya's pure militiamen should increase several levels in a row, but in fact, he feels that he is not even as fast as his second professional mercenary.

This makes people a little puzzled.

Of course, all doubts must be put down at this moment, because they have more important things to do. If the Golden Demon Tree finds them first, and then calls back the withered beasts outside, there will not be much time left for them. Brando had calculated in the game before that it would take up to fifteen minutes from the start of the battle to the arrival of the first batch of withering beasts, which happens to be the existence cycle of the holy sword. If they can't kill the golden magic tree before then , you have to consider the matter of escape.

However, Brando didn't consider going up to fight immediately. First of all, he didn't say how to solve the patrol team of demon tree people. He himself had another question to answer.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at a higher cliff on the other side.

"Wait for me here, don't be discovered." He turned around and said.

"Bran**************S. Come on, come on, move on)
