Chapter 590 An Unimaginable New Type of War
"Huh? Why did the ground crack? Wait, I can't do the splits!"
"Hey, who is grabbing my feet...huh? Where did the vines come from! Ouch!"
"No, I was pinned down by a cannon. I beg you all, come and help me!"
Amidst the dust and continuous screams raised by the collapse of the city wall, Lord Xi jumped quickly and landed on the tower in the city.
Looking back, he saw this scene that he would never forget.
Just like the legendary hell, countless twisted and ferocious branches, vines, and roots slowly rise from the ground, like the hands stretched out by evil spirits in the abyss.
A thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by an ant nest, let alone countless monster plants trying their best to squeeze in. No city wall can withstand such digging.
Therefore, the Western Pass, which Lord Xi had high hopes for, was overturned, and the soldiers standing on it were submerged in the green.
But if that's all, it's just that he didn't expect the Deep Forest people to have such means and accidentally fell into someone else's scheme.
Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Since you haven't lost everything yet, then just win back.
The commander on the other side of the deep forest sacrificed his soldiers in exchange for large-scale magic activation, and his method of forcibly tearing down the walls of Glowing Pass was a bit cruel.
However, considering the losses caused by a fortified battle, such a vicious plan may not be a decisive one.
Therefore, up to this point, the "Yangyue Magic War" is still understandable to Lord Xi, and does not exceed the scope of his experience.
But when he dodged a sneak attack from several vines that suddenly shot out, he planned to stop the Deep Forest Man's second charge by himself in order to maintain his front line.
It seemed as if there was a strong wind blowing that he could not feel at all. The green forest outside the city seemed to have suddenly ushered in autumn, and all of it turned into a withered yellow.
"What?"
Duke Xiguang was surprised, but if he had studied plants, he would know that one of the reasons why broadleaf forests become withered in autumn is that they transfer nutrients from their leaves.
So at the next moment, the branches were broken, and the tens of thousands of knights who had been bombarded to death just now, along with their matching horses, all "drilled" out of the trunk!
more than!
At the same time, countless green and chilling saplings sprouted from the bodies of the glow soldiers who died due to the collapse of the city wall and plant attacks.
Germinate, grow, mature, and wither!
In just a moment, thousands more messenger cavalry in black armor and black clothes appeared on the battlefield.
The most terrifying thing is that their auras are clearly the same as when they were still alive, but the weapons in their hands have changed their targets.
"Wait, brother, I'm Charlie! You...ah!"
Without any hesitation, the Glow soldiers who had just climbed out of the ruins and were even trapped in the ruins were massacred by their former comrades.
And just like Resident Evil, every living person killed by a knight or a plant will be quickly transformed into a new messenger cavalry.
Even the elemental mage who had reached level 50 was the same. After being beheaded by a knight captain, he quickly became a member of the knights.
It's just that as a former mage, the weapon in his hand is a slender staff inlaid with red gems and shaped more like a war hammer.
In a disaster, there is only one exception, and that is the player.
——Haha, you are stupid, I don’t have a corpse for you to transform, bye!
But players can play happily, Lord Xi is really sweating, and when he opens his mouth, there is a string of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.
"This is not magic at all, this is clearly a weird and evil magic that can only be performed by followers of the evil god! Damn it, who are you!"
But unfortunately, like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, his anger still failed to elicit any response.
Instead, he attracted two knight captains who rose up from the ground on black-armored Pegasus with wings on their backs, and charged towards him with their spears.
"presumptuous!"
Lord Xi's beard and hair were all spread out, but he did not dodge or dodge. He mobilized all his energy and punched the two people in front of him.
Logically speaking, everyone is at level 70. As a high-level unit, the combat effectiveness of the messenger cavalry is far above average.
Now that two more people are coming towards them, Lord Xi, who has absolutely no chance of winning, should retreat for the time being and look for another opportunity.
But special times and special measures, in such a precarious moment, many rules can be temporarily put down - such as animal protection!
Therefore, before Lord Xi came to the Western Region, he went to the royal family's hunting ground, and he did not leave the mountain until he reached level 85. His strength was not what it used to be.
Therefore, under this punch, the momentum of the two knight commanders was weakened by three points. Not only did they fail to break through his protective air shield, but their lances were also broken by the bullet.
And people have two arms, so they could withstand this punch, but Sir Alex had another hand hidden behind his back!
His sharp eyes scanned the two of them, detecting that the one on the left should be the weaker one.
Very good, soft persimmon!
The Lord's speed was already fast, but now with the blessing of Zheng Qi, it was even faster than lightning.
Arriving last, he almost teleported behind the knight commander and punched his unsuspecting back a second time.
"Seeing that you are unhappy, I will kill you first!"
It wasn't until the knight captain's body was blown to pieces and splashed all over the floor like broken building blocks that the old man's somewhat excited shouting reached the ears of the people around him.
When a soldier is incompetent, a general is incompetent too. The same is true when they are brave.
"My Lord is mighty!"
"Quick, hold the line!"
"We can't lose!"
Seeing that the Duke had gained points against the version and killed an enemy general as soon as he started, the morale of the Glow, which was on the verge of collapse, was saved at once.
In addition to the physical wall, this pass also has a magical shield, which successfully withstood the whipping and invasion of a large number of strange plants.
Relying on this second line of defense, the Glow people who retreated to it regained their footing with difficulty and got the opportunity to continue the second round.
But retreating is retreating. The initiative of the battlefield has been transferred to the hands of the enemy. No matter how brave they are, they can only watch the enemy play tricks.
What tricks? Of course, it was the dirty tricks that had been used before!
Together with the newly converted messenger cavalry, after a brief reorganization, a larger number of cavalry launched a second round of charge.
"Go all out and hold on!"
The inner shield has a design similar to a charging port, and anyone with magic power can charge it.
Therefore, under the order of Lord Xi, including himself, all the defenders almost risked their lives, and a huge amount of magic power was transferred into the shield.
But there were too many messenger cavalry, and the horses were like thunder and the wind was like a hurricane, which was really daunting.
So seeing that the soldiers' faces were still a little pale, the Lord, who was afraid of morale collapse, gritted his teeth and simply seized the opportunity to fly out.
"Come, watch me kill another enemy general for you!"
Who else could he kill? Naturally, he killed the knight commander who had not been killed just now in three or two strokes.
This head in his hand is more useful than anything else. Amid the fanatical praise, the morale of the Glorious Army soared on the spot.
So no matter how the cavalry charged, even if the dark enemy shadows had covered half of the dome, they could not shake the shield at all.
"Hold on!"
Sometimes, fighting depends on that breath, so Duke Xiguang would occasionally lead a death squad, mostly pioneers, to fight back.
Even if they couldn't break out with the support of long-range firepower, at least it gave the soldiers a little hope and a chance to vent their anger in depression.
This difficult tug-of-war lasted from the afternoon to the evening. It was really the longest afternoon everyone had ever experienced.
Finally, I don't know when it started, and the metal friction sound surrounding the shield gradually disappeared.
Everyone looked up and found that the messenger cavalry that had been surging before had all disappeared, replaced by a large area of quiet trees.
"This..."
There were also smart people in the crowd who boldly put forward their own guesses.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"My Lord, could it be that these messenger cavalry can only move during the day and must turn back into plants at night?"
"Hmm!?"
Duke Xiguang thought about it carefully and found...eh, it seems that it is really possible!
And thinking carefully, there seems to be no report of messenger cavalry moving at night in the reports of the spies.
These strange guys all go out in the morning, run to the four fields, and then...then disappear at some point.
Could it be!
Knowing that this matter must be done personally, Lord Xi was brave enough to walk out of the shield himself to test it.
It was found that these plants transformed from cavalry were really not much different from ordinary trees except that the material was a little harder and the color was a little brighter.
They couldn't speak, bite, or even stand up and walk. They were completely live targets.
"Huh, fortunately, I was scared to death..."
In fact, earlier, Lord Xi accidentally discovered that the knight commander who was killed by his punch seemed to have resurrected.
He rode his horse like nothing happened, and was testing the shield with his spear.
He just swallowed the fear and didn't dare to say anything because he was afraid of hurting morale.
After all, this kind of creature that can proliferate and revive at will is too terrifying, and it is impossible to fight it!
So now that the enemy's weakness has finally been discovered, both he and his think tanks are very happy and offer suggestions.
"Sir, why don't we burn this forest with fire and see if they can revive!"
Lord Xi was about to nod, but suddenly felt...
Eh? These damn demon soldiers can revive even if they are beaten into pieces by a punch. Are they really dead if they are burned to ashes?
Don't make things worse and lose everything because of arrogance!
Therefore, at this critical moment, Duke Xiguang chose to act conservatively.
Anyway, those who are now exhausted and collapsed on the ground are all magic-savvy, and there are many strong men in the barracks who have rested for an afternoon, so it's time to let them move around.
Then a funny thing happened. The battlefield that was still full of fighting during the day suddenly turned into a forest where countless bald men fought.
Relying on brute force, the soldiers dug the trees out of the ground with their roots, carried them on their shoulders and pulled them to the ruins of the city wall.
It must be said that there were really a lot of trees. By the time they cleared all the plants in the pass, it was almost dawn.
"Let's go, let's go back quickly, damn, I always feel them moving!"
At the headquarters of the Glowing Army, after hearing about the strange things that happened on the front line, reinforcements from the supply troops and pioneers also arrived in time.
The delivery of people, soldiers and supplies, especially the crucial mage professionals and magic potions, helped them recover a lot of blood.
"Alas, I hope I can hold on today."
The Glowing Army was on high alert again, and only Lord Xi stood alone on the tower whose spire had been knocked off, looking into the distance.
As he expected, when the first ray of sunlight fell on the ground, the trees that were thrown out by the warriors did show strange movements.
Like a bunch of alien eggs, the strange and terrifying messenger cavalry tore open the bark and struggled to crawl out of it.
As for the control group, Lord Xi isolated them alone, burned them to ashes, and even crushed the charcoal one by one...
It's the same, but they take a little longer and need to go through the process of taking root, sprouting, and growing and maturing again.
"Damn, what on earth is this thing!"
Not daring to let these monsters run wild, Lord Xi fired a flare directly into the sky and then jumped to the ground.
When the "Zhengqi Yangshen Gong" is cultivated to the fifth level, one can release one's inner thoughts in the form of physical objects.
So after a flash of golden light, a red cheetah bigger than an elephant appeared beside Lord Xi.
"Kill!"
One man and one cheetah smashed into the ground, the earth shook, and directly lifted up a group of cavalrymen who had not yet lined up.
In the chaos, no one could stop Duke Xiguang who was going all out. There was only the tragic fact that anyone who touched him would die, and anyone who was touched would be disabled.
This is the magical world, and powerful extraordinary people can really control the situation of the battle by themselves.
"Humph, want to escape?"
The two knight commanders were also caught by him with quick eyes and hands, and tore into a plate of saliva chicken on the spot, and threw it out like a fairy scattering flowers.
It looked like the old man was venting his anger, but actually…
At least besides venting his anger, this was also his second experiment, he wanted to see what the resurrection mechanism of these monsters was like.
It turned out that apart from the necessary nighttime hibernation, the resurrection mechanism of these monster soldiers was not that perfect.
For example, he mowed the grass in the battle array for half an hour, and he didn't see those two things jumping out again.
It was probably that the hero fragments of Knight A and Knight B were still crawling towards each other in the dark, and it would take some time for them to merge.
So.
Could it be that as long as we put their body fragments a little further away, we can extend their resurrection time as much as possible?
