My Magic Age

After sending all the natives to Xinliu Valley and finally transporting all the 33 giant spiders back to Xinliu Valley, Qige and I set off again and rushed to the Trum stronghold overnight. It was less than 30 kilometers away from Trum. If we marched at a fast pace, we would arrive in Trum in three hours.

In fact, it was impossible to go that fast, because the Black Forest was in the middle of the night. Another point was that the whole road was a mountain road, and none of us were familiar with this road. We climbed the hills and inevitably had the risk of taking the wrong road. So, I estimated that we would arrive in Trum in the early morning.

However, this time Qige and I did not act alone. In this dangerous jungle, there were murderous intentions everywhere. Maybe there was a giant spider hidden on a big tree. Their spider webs would be the biggest obstacle to the night march. Kalancuo and Luka brought 20 orc warriors transferred from Xinliu Valley and followed us.

The orc warriors who had experienced the annihilation battle in the stone forest and the hunting outside the sentry post had all returned to Xinliu Valley to rest.

These twenty orc warriors were a group of fresh troops. They had just completed the task of hunting goblins and rested in the underground cave for most of the day. At this time, they had sufficient physical strength. Each orc warrior was fully armed. According to Bernd's original words: The level of Green Empire's armaments is matched with the warriors of the Pai Plateau. The perfect combination of these two points will have extraordinary combat effectiveness.

The orc warriors on the Pai Plateau have always been known for their bravery. They are fearless and proud to die on the battlefield.

The warriors of the Green Empire are known for their excellent armaments. No matter where the Green Empire's army arrives, logistics can be guaranteed.

This time, Louis provided me with the best military crossbows. At the same time, we seized a large number of black iron spears from the spider warriors. Each orc had a set of magic antelope skin armor. It can be said that the equipment on his body has been armed to the teeth.

This is also a group of well-trained orc warriors. In the past month, these orc warriors have been following the dwarf consultant Bernd to fight in the underground caves. They are very adapted to night battles because many places in the underground caves are pitch black.

So these orc warriors walked through the forest at night without any discomfort, and quietly took turns to cover each other.

"There are spider warriors coming in front!" Takama jumped down from a big tree, ran to my side, and whispered to me.

Kentoya, the leader of the orc team on the side, said in shock: "How is it possible that our scouts didn't send an alarm!"

At this time, the orc warrior walking in the front suddenly stopped, and the whole team followed and stopped. Immediately, there was news from the front of the team: three spider scouts were found in the dense forest ahead.

The orc warriors set their eyes on Kalancuo. No matter where, as long as Kalancuo was there, she would always be the focus of these orc warriors' sight. Among these orc warriors, she had a very high prestige.

In order to save the orcs who were almost starving to death in El City, Kalancuo took the six-year-old Ella and sold himself in the slave market. This move won the respect of all the orcs. In the eyes of the orcs, freedom is more important than anything else, and no orc is willing to be a slave.

"Prepare to ambush them, don't let them run away, prepare tripwires and giant nets in front!" Kalancuo made a prompt decision and ordered the orcs.

With these orc warriors joining the team, we don't need to deliberately avoid these spider scouts. On the contrary, we can even become a falcon team, hunting those lone spider warriors in this black forest at will. Obviously, now only three spider scouts can no longer pose any threat to us.

Instead, we decided to capture these three spider scouts.

…

Three spider scouts rushed from the depths of the Black Forest. In the middle of the night, the sound of running was very messy. Their claws pierced into the soft leaf rot and easily brought up large pieces of clay, which were all over the sky. The spider warriors, whose bodies were like giant tanks, were not suitable for running in the Black Forest. Their claws were too sharp.

I think it is more conducive for spider warriors to run on the volcanic rock areas or the stone walls of the Gobi Desert.

As long as there are no giant trees blocking the way ahead, the low bushes can't hinder their pace at all. The huge belly will crush everything.

The hearing of the lizard maid Takama is even more acute than that of these orc wolf warriors. She discovered the enemy five breaths earlier than these orc warriors, which made these orc warriors in the team look at her with new eyes. The orc team is a group that respects the strong. All orc warriors worship the strong, so when they look at Takama again, there is a little more respect in their eyes.

A huge iron chain as thick as an arm quietly lay between two giant trees. The iron chain was one meter above the ground, and both ends were completely wrapped around the tree trunks.

The orc warriors were lying in ambush on both sides, each holding a powerful crossbow. Everyone held their breath. A tremor like a heavy truck rolling over the ground became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, three huge black shadows appeared in the dark forest, holding black iron spears in their hands and rushing over.

The spider scout in the middle stood forward. When he was about to run to our ambush site, his head covered with black armor seemed to hesitate a little, but they could not stop at all in their rapid running.

Perhaps because they felt that this forest area was too quiet, the chirping sounds of birds, beasts and insects disappeared. The leading spider scout just wanted to slow down, but when his spider legs crossed forward again, he suddenly got caught on a tough rope. The entire iron chain blocked all eight of his spider legs, but his heavy body continued to surge forward with huge inertia.

There were several huge fracture sounds from the spider scout, the creaking sound of the iron chain after being tightened under huge pressure, and the cracking sound of the giant tree after the iron chain was tightened and bent by the huge force. These sounds that made people feel trembling were intertwined and instantly connected to the city.

The iron rope was like a taut bowstring. Under the huge inertial impact of the spider scout, it was pulled backwards, and the trunks of the giant trees on both sides were pulled backwards and bent. The body of the spider scout running in the front was completely separated from the eight spider legs. The body of the spider scout, who was shocked and terrified, slid forward along the ground.

The two spider scouts who ran a little behind took the opportunity to escape, because after the spider scout in front was tripped by the rope, the spider scout behind reacted very quickly and jumped high into the air to avoid the interception of the rope.

However, they didn't know that the moment they jumped high from the ground was the best time for the orc warriors ambushing on both sides to take action.

Twenty strong crossbows shot in turn, and the sharpest armor-piercing crossbow arrows were all embedded in the body of the spider scout. Because it was in the dark and the spider scout was running fast, the crossbow arrows had no accuracy, but the spider scout's body was very huge and the ambush site was very close, so it was very difficult to miss it.

The spider man screamed sharply in anger, but the orc warriors were not afraid of this. Seeing that the crossbow arrows had limited damage to the spider scouts, they jumped out from behind the bushes and threw the big iron spears in their hands as javelins.

Because there were only three people on the other side, Kalancuo's strategy was to kill them all without leaving any alive, so the orc warriors threw the big iron spears in their hands after all five rounds of crossbow arrows were shot out.

Those iron spears became very difficult to catch in the dark night, and there was no way to resist them.

Only the crisp sound of the hard armor breaking and the "puff" sound of the big iron spears piercing into the body were heard. The moment the two spider scouts jumped up, they were destined to embark on the road of death.

Countless crossbow arrows shot into their bodies, causing them to lose all their keen senses in severe pain.

Then the big iron spears flew over, and the spider scouts were powerless to stop them. The moment they landed, the big iron spears directly penetrated their bodies, like iron spikes piercing their bodies and nailing them to the open space in the forest.

The battle just started and ended in an instant.

The orc warriors gathered around, took out their axes from their waists, walked to the three spider scouts, and without any hesitation, quickly split the tough abdominal shells of the spider scouts. Then some orc warriors took the opportunity to insert their long knives and cut off all the heart tubes on the edge of the beating heart in the spider scout's abdomen. The purple blood immediately gushed out.

The heart of the spider scout is the most important organ in their body, just like the engine in an armored vehicle. As long as all the oil lines of the engine are destroyed, the entire engine will be completely shut down.

There are also orc warriors who quickly jump on the back of the spider scout, split the spider scout's head with an axe, and take out the black magic crystal inside.

Then our team quickly disappeared in the Black Forest, leaving only three broken bodies of spider scouts.

These three spider scouts probably didn't think that after thoroughly cleaning all the sentries around, there would be such a team in the Black Forest, hiding in the dark to ambush them. It was their carelessness that allowed us to kill them so smoothly.

...

The dawn light gradually brightened the Black Forest in the dark.

In the morning, this forest was completely shrouded in a hazy mist. The mist rising from the ground, without wind to blow them away, made this dense forest like a fairyland.

Our team took advantage of the mist to quickly repair and hastily finish breakfast while the mist was spreading in the forest area, letting the orc warriors rest under the tree.

Qige, Kalancuo and I climbed to the top of the crown of the tallest giant tree, cut off all the lush branches and leaves of the giant tree, and stood on the tree branch. The view in front of us suddenly became clear, and the surrounding sea of ​​trees came into view.

The two mountains in the distance are like two giant dragons, meeting not far ahead. At the intersection of the mountains, there is a dangerous peak. On the hillside of the dangerous peak, there is a huge defensive fortification made of huge stones, hidden in the mountain. The bunkers, sentinels, watchtowers and solid walls make the fortification seem impregnable.

The Trum stronghold should be one of the top strongholds among the twelve large strongholds outside Tanton City.

Seeing the faint smoke rising from the stronghold in the morning mist, and a tattered imperial flag still flying in the wind, my heart, which was hanging in the air, fell to the ground. Sure enough, as I thought, the Trum stronghold has not been captured by those spider warriors, but I think the imperial warriors in the Trum stronghold should have a hard time recently.

"The castle on the hill ahead should be the Trum stronghold!" I exhaled, wishing I could fly over there at this moment. I didn't expect that after this thought just came to my mind, I felt a slight itch on my shoulder blades, and then this abnormality disappeared immediately.

I rubbed my numb face with both hands to dispel the sleepiness in my body.

Qi Ge also looked at Trum with expectation, with a flash of excitement in her eyes, and then said to me: "Wait for Takama to come back and see what kind of news she can bring us!"

At this time, the orc team under the tree had some commotion, as if they had experienced a sudden battle, but before we could react, the battle below was over.

We slid down from the giant tree one after another, but Qi Ge was the most relaxed. He just cast a very simple wind magic "slow fall" on himself, and fell down lightly like a leaf.

When we got to the tree, we found out that the orc team had just encountered a giant spider that was ready to hunt. Apparently, this giant spider thought the team was an ordinary Green Empire soldier team. Five giant spiders took advantage of the mist to surround and kill them together. They were discovered by the surrounding sentries, and then the entire orc team was dispatched, but all the giant spiders were hunted down.

Because we are already in the outer area of ​​the Trum stronghold, here, we may encounter the spider warriors who besiege the Trum stronghold at any time, so in order to better hide our whereabouts, we must kill all the spiders and giant spiders as much as possible to keep the team hidden.

Not long after, Takama, who went out to explore the terrain, returned safely.

Her face looked very serious. Although this lizard maid rarely smiled, she could always keep a calm mood in this black forest, and rarely had such a serious expression. It seemed that the situation in the Trum stronghold was not optimistic.

We gathered together, and Takama squatted on the ground. He drew two lines on the flat ground to represent two mountain ranges, and then placed a small stone at the intersection of the two lines to represent the Trum stronghold. He then scattered some small stones around the Trum stronghold, glanced at me, and said, "There are many spider warriors ambushing in the forest area ahead, like a big net, waiting for us to walk in..."
