My Magic Age

The terrain in the southern part of the Black Forest is more rugged than that in the northern part. There are many mountains in the Black Forest. There are a lot of miasma and poisonous fog in the low-lying valleys in the forest. Even the natives who have lived in the southern region for many years dare not easily enter these places. The rocks and trees between the mountains are intertwined. If it weren’t for the tree spirits who opened up a convenient tree-lined road for us, I’m afraid it would be difficult for our cavalry to pass through the dense forest.

The traces of spider warriors can often be seen in the dense forest. Although their large forces have gradually evacuated to the south of the Black Forest, there are still a large number of spider scout teams in the Black Forest, as well as a large number of giant spiders entrenched in the Black Forest and unwilling to leave.

Many spider camps were completely abandoned because of the retreat of the spiders.

Stepping on the soft needle-like wool grass, a team of orc warriors slowly searched down the slope. Not far behind these orc warriors, there were seven or eight bodies of spider warriors scattered. Black and purple blood flowed all over the ground, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. The orc warriors were holding standard military crossbows and sneaking in the woods. The hunter team in the front had dealt with three spider scout teams in succession.

We planned to sneak into the vicinity of this spider camp and let the barbarian slave heavy crossbow regiment completely block the exits on both sides of the valley. When those Nibru spiders took the initiative to attack, the five thousand construct knights would charge at the group of spider warriors from the top of the hillside.

At the top of the mountain, five thousand construct knights of the North Wind Legion formed a black line.

Because they were blocked by the dense forest, they could only feel the strong murderous intent coming from the depths of the dense forest.

Kalancuo led more than a hundred orc warriors to the front of the team. The orc warriors in the front row were all the best hunters. They knew how to move forward without being discovered by the prey. They were a group of the best wilderness wind wolves. They followed Kalancuo and moved forward little by little. Several scout teams around the spider camp were quietly solved by this group of orc warriors.

The sharp axes on their waists kept dripping with sticky blood. Morayaer, Connie and I were mixed in this group of orc warriors. The light in the dense forest was dim. I was worried that opening the four-series stone drum totem would alert the spiders on the opposite side. I sneaked silently all the way. I used hypnosis to keep the spider scouts asleep, and then the orc warriors quietly moved over and killed the spider scouts in their sleep.

Hypnosis belongs to the category of black magic. Morayaer and Connie were worried that my spell would fail and I would be backlashed by black magic, so they insisted on staying with me.

Eight hundred barbarian slaves were just behind the orcs. According to the information provided by the tree spirits, in the valley behind the mountain in front, the Nibru spiders built a spider camp. When the Nibru spiders retreated across the board, the spiders in this camp were still stationed here, so there was a plan to attack the camp.

Five thousand North Wind Legion's construct knights and five thousand knights' followers were the main force of this army, and naturally took on the main attack mission.

The tauren Luka led four hundred barbarians to guard the exit on this side of the valley.

At this time, a magic light bomb flew out of the dense forest and exploded in the sky in an instant. Needless to say, this was a signal from Justus. They had already controlled the other end of the valley and the orc warrior flamethrower team that had already touched the edge of the spider camp. They sprayed several flames into the spider camp covered with white spider webs. For a moment, the flames filled with corpse fire oil ignited several dead trees on the edge of the spider camp, and those white spider webs disappeared in the blazing flames.

There was a rustling sound in the spider camp, and then a large number of dark-bodied spider warriors rushed out of the camp. They passed through the blazing flames and charged at the orc flamethrower team outside. Unfortunately, they were tied up by a large number of tree roots that had drilled out of the soil just after they rushed out of the camp. Several more flames were sprayed out, and hundreds of spider warriors were completely trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

Perhaps sensing the crisis of the situation, a large group of giant spiders ran out of the camp and fled in all directions.

At this time, the orc warriors ambushed around the spider camp shot rows of crossbows from the dense forest, shooting these giant spiders to the ground. Only the giant spiders on the gentle slope of the mountain were not shot by crossbows and ran quickly into the dense forest.

Then, thousands of spider warriors in the spider camp followed closely and fled quickly to the dense forest between the mountains. These spider warriors did not even try any form of counterattack, and directly decided to break through.

I never thought that this group of spider warriors would be so timid. They were beaten and fled in panic after just one round of attack. Fortunately, we had set up a pocket formation at the beginning.

If this group of spider warriors chose to rush up against the dense crossbows, as long as they did not choose the passages on the left and right sides of the valley, they would still have a great chance of escaping. There was no time to set up on the side of the orc flamethrower team. In addition to more than a hundred orcs, there were only me, Katarina, Morayaer, and Connie.

We were even ready to use magic to block these spider warriors as soon as they rushed up.

In fact, after seeing the flames, these frightened spider warriors completely gave up the plan to break out from our direction. They cooperated very well and got into the pocket we set up.

The fire quickly swept the entire spider camp, and nearly two thousand spider warriors fled upward along the slope of the mountain. Just as they rushed into a relatively open forest area, a large number of tree roots emerged from the dense forest, entangled all the spider warriors. The spider warriors hurriedly used their sharp axes to chop the tough tree roots that emerged from the soil. These tree roots could not cause any casualties to the spider warriors, and could only trap them in place for a short time.

Just as the spider warriors tried to break free from the tree people's restraints, a majestic charge horn sounded from the top of the mountain, followed by a rumbling thunder, as if the mountain was about to collapse. The huge sound came from the top of the mountain, and the ground between the mountains was shaking.

A team of heavily armored knights rushed down from the mountain. When they appeared in the woods, the spider warriors who broke out of the spider camp looked desperate. They were thinking about breaking out from both sides of the valley, but found that a row of giant crossbows were like the scythe of the god of death, shooting through the spider warriors who rushed in the front, and the spider camp behind them quickly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Some giant spiders trying to hide in the camp were on fire and ran around in the camp.

The North Wind Legion rushed down from the mountain, and a shadow of a black warhorse gradually formed above the knight team. The shadow of this black warhorse was extremely tall and broke through the layers of trees. As the knights rushed into the battlefield, the spider warriors seemed to be frightened for a while. Although they took a defensive posture in time, the sharp knights' spears had already pierced into the bodies of the spider warriors.

The battle took only half a day from start to finish, and almost all the spider warriors in the camp were wiped out.

The knights' followers came up and only had time to collect some spoils left on the battlefield. At this time, a group of native warriors ran out from behind the barbarian slaves. They quickly collected the giant crossbows on the battlefield. As long as the spider warriors were shot to death by the giant crossbows, these native warriors would not hesitate to chop off their heads and pick up the weapons around them.

After I issued the list of merit exchange rewards, even the barbarian slaves began to realize the importance of spoils.

In the end, the natives still cleaned up the battlefield. They would bury the bodies of the spider warriors under the trees. The North Wind Legion's constructed knights still adhered to their previous fighting habits. They did not like to leave people alive on the battlefield. Even if the injured spider warriors could not pose any threat to them, they would be killed by these knights.

Barbarian slaves and indigenous warriors don't have this habit, but orc warriors like to capture some spider warrior captives, gather them together, take out a slave contract scroll on the spot, and try to sign a slave contract with the spider warrior captives one by one. Once the spider warriors refuse, someone will chop off their heads.

Orc warriors are also very irritable. Once the spider warrior captives refuse, they will kill a few of them without asking, and then knock on the heads of those spider warrior captives with the slave contract scroll...

Probably because of the merit reward list, along the way to the sick forest, the North Wind Legion's construct knights kept asking me to destroy some small spider warrior camps around and accumulate black magic crystals bit by bit.

Many North Wind Legion's construct knights set their sights on some high-level magic weapons. These high-level magic weapons that usually cost dozens of magic crystals can be bought, but on the merit reward list, only ten to twenty unidentified black magic crystals can be exchanged.

Normally, the Construct Knights would not even dare to think about it, but on this battlefield in the southern part of the Black Forest, with the help of the tree spirit allies, the battle with the Nibru Spider Warriors became risk-free, so the Construct Knights began to be excited. Some lucky Construct Knights had already accumulated a few black magic crystals, so they were more looking forward to fighting with the Spider Warriors.

When we arrived at the Sickwood Forest, we actually experienced more than 20 encirclement and annihilation battles along the way. In the eyes of the Construct Knights, those Spider Warriors were simply running black magic crystals. They had almost no chance of escape and were all killed by the Construct Knights.

It was under such a situation that our army arrived at the Sickwood Forest.

…

The Sickwood Forest seemed so out of tune with the surrounding Black Forest. The dark soil seemed to be covered with shiny oil stains, which seemed so distinct from the soil in the Black Forest.

It was a forest that was almost completely withered, with only a few sparse leaves hanging on the treetops. It seemed that these trees would not live long. There seemed to be no birds or small animals in the forest. Even the mosquitoes, ants and poisonous insects that were scattered throughout the forest were nowhere to be found. The entire sick forest was filled with a dead silence.

The forest was a piece of charred rotten soil, without any shrubs or weeds. Occasionally, a few blood flowers would grow in the cracks next to some stones.

It was not possible to determine how big the sick forest was, nor was it possible to determine where the ancient war tree that Dirang and Diram the wise men called the crazy tree was.

Our team stayed at the edge of the sick forest and did not step into this land, because we did not know what kind of danger there was. We circled along the edge of the sick forest for most of the day to estimate how big this forest was.

It turns out that this diseased wood forest is definitely not much smaller than Dustwallow Swamp, and there are unknown dangers in it.

Once we enter the diseased forest, we will lose the help of the dryads.

I jumped off an old horse and stood on the edge of the diseased forest, looking at the dark land. The trees here could not block the gray sky.

Count Desmond rode up from behind. I squatted on the edge of the diseased wood and said to Count Desmond: "How about we stay here now and let the knights hunt the remaining spider warriors in the surrounding woods?" , I will lead a team of orcs into the sick wood forest to explore the situation inside. "

Count Desmond looked solemn and said to me: "Count Jijia, don't be too careless. The situation here looks a bit like the cursed land in Sloit Province. It seems that the plants on the edge of the woodland are all gone." A mutation has occurred. Please let the second-level knights in the legion participate in this investigation."

Speaking of the cursed land in Sloit Province, it is rumored that it was left behind after the death of the ancient demon. The demon's flesh and blood rotted on that land, making the land seem to be cursed. The plants have mutated to a certain extent, and the land is gradually spreading outward, but the expansion speed is not very fast. In recent years, Scholar Moras, a senior wood magician, has been studying the cursed land with great concentration.

As the daughter of Scholar Morath, Moraya has certain unique insights into the cursed land.

Moraya stood next to me, her eyes fell on the almost withered trees, and she said to me almost with certainty: "This is different from the situation in the Cursed Land. This woodland is not infected by the breath of the devil." , but I am also unable to communicate with those trees. I don’t know what is contained in the soil here! But the cause of the withering of the trees here must be hidden in this soil. "

As she spoke, she stepped into the diseased tree forest. The soil under her feet was covered with black water stains. She walked to a diseased tree that was almost withered...
