My Magic Age

The spiders surrounded Trum, but did not capture it immediately. They just spread a large net around Trum, waiting for the imperial army to break into the net. However, this deployment of the spiders was very effective only for those ordinary imperial soldiers. No matter which direction the imperial reinforcements approached Trum, they would be intercepted by the spider warriors.

At the beginning of the battle, a chain reaction would be triggered, and the surrounding spiders would quickly surround them like a shrinking net.

As long as the spider warriors facing the enemy head-on hold on for a quarter of an hour, the spiders can form a siege, from the outside to the inside, layer by layer to devour the imperial reinforcements. What's more, the spider warriors are far more elite than ordinary imperial soldiers. These tank-like spider warriors happen to be the biggest nemesis of the imperial infantry formation.

However, for the hunters, this arrangement of the spiders is more convenient for us to defeat them one by one.

I don't know where the demon hunters of the adventure groups and mercenary groups in the Green Empire went at this time?

Such a good hunting ground, but there is no adventure group rushing to hunt the dark forces. Usually, there will always be a large number of adventure groups and mercenary groups flocking to the planes with rich resources. They will only shuttle in the mountains and fields in the form of teams. They will accept some bounty tasks to hunt the living forces of those hostile forces, and return to the headquarters city to receive rewards after obtaining tokens.

Just like when I hunted barbarians in El City, as long as I held their left ears, I could get merits at the El City Logistics Department. These merits can be exchanged for materials, money, titles, etc.

Many adventure groups also like to give it a try in certain planes.

In addition, I have never seen the Constructed Knights under the Grand Duke of Samoyed. In such a dangerous situation, Tanton City still did not send out elite constructed knights to relieve the pressure of the war. Maybe I am not standing in that high position, so I can't understand the thoughts of those big men.

In short, the situation on the Yelo plane is now precarious. The defense line painstakingly constructed by Grand Duke Samoyed has been captured and shattered. All the small outposts along the way have been slaughtered, and the soldiers of the empire can only retreat to the large stronghold.

...

I led the orc team and lurked on a mountain ridge ten kilometers away from the Trum stronghold. According to the information provided by Takama, there are more than fifty spider warriors gathered in this valley, lurking in the dense forests on both sides of the hillside. From time to time, spider scouts will be sent out. Those spider scouts are very impatient. They are looking for those giant spiders everywhere in the black forest.

As long as they find giant spiders lurking in the center of the large web in the tree canopy, they will call them down, beat them hard with a big iron spear, and then drive these giant spiders to hunt in the forest.

In the forests around Trum, many wild animals seemed to have sensed the danger early and had already migrated to other places. The giant spiders could only run wildly in the forest in vain, and finally had to run farther away.

Some giant spiders, with white silk cocoons hanging on their pedipalps, followed the spider scouts back to the dense forest on the slopes of the mountain.

It seems that the supply of food for this team of spider warriors has been short, and the giant spiders responsible for hunting are very unlucky and have suffered some damage. The big iron spears in the hands of the spider scouts hit the giant spiders, and most of the giant spiders that were beaten were beaten to pieces.

The lizard maid Takama has a jungle survival skill. She can hide her body on the tree canopy and merge with the tree, just like a chameleon.

When she lies on the tree, her breathing, heartbeat, and body heat all disappear. It is difficult for the sensitive giant spiders to find her. She can be said to be the best scout in the dense forest.

I couldn't help but secretly wonder how such an excellent jungle warrior as Takama was caught by the slave traders?

I found that the spider warriors had laid a large net outside the Trum stronghold, so I didn't rush to enter the Trum stronghold.

I wanted to give Katarina a big gift before entering the Trum stronghold.

Obviously, more than fifty spider warriors gathered together between the mountains, which did not conform to the formation of the spiders on the website outside the Trum stronghold. This was an ambush.

They had a clear purpose of lurking in the dense forest on the slope of the mountain, and they also sent out spider scouts to look for those giant spiders everywhere, forcing them to replenish supplies to the mountain. It was completely a battle formation.

Obviously, the spider warriors here had some problems with food supply, which immediately reminded me of the more than 40 giant spiders I met last night. Could it be that those giant spiders were responsible for the food supply of this group of spider warriors, and they were wiped out before they had time to provide food to these spider warriors?

These spiders probably never thought that I was leading a small team of orcs to ambush above their heads, no more than 500 meters away from them.

In the subjective consciousness of these spider warriors, they were stationed in the dense forest on this hillside, with a full view of the surrounding situation. From time to time, spider scouts would take turns to patrol, and any enemy who wanted to climb to the top of the mountain would be exposed to their sight.

But he never thought that before the morning fog cleared, he would climb to the top of the mountain alone under the invisibility effect of the 'shadow cloak', then find a secluded place on a stone cliff, and quickly open the teleportation gate. Called out Qige and the others who were waiting on the altar in the underground cave.

For this ambush, I mobilized all the orc warriors in the underground cave, and bundles of short flying spears were brought out.

These short flying spears are modified from the hollow steel pipes used by dwarf consultant Bernd. One end of the steel pipe is sharpened and quenched, and the other end is equipped with a short tail made of cross-shaped thin iron sheet, which allows the short flying spears to fly in the air. It is more stable when flying in the air, and the hollow steel pipe is pierced into the body, and blood can flow out of the steel pipe without any obstruction, causing the enemy to quickly lose a lot of blood.

This is the top of the mountain. Orc warriors who are good at throwing can throw short flying spears from top to bottom, and the power will be doubled.

I ordered the orc warrior Kentoa to carry out the two flamethrowers from the underground cave. The oil barrels and the spray gun blessed by the wind array can spray atomized corpse fire oil dozens of meters away. Qige, the wind magician, turned around and arranged a small wind magic circle behind the two flamethrowers. The light wind formed by the magic circle would blow all the way to the dense forest on the hillside.

"If I use corpse fire oil here, will it directly set this black forest on fire?" I whispered to Qige with a little worry.

Qige glared at me angrily, as if she disliked me very much, and said to me in a low voice: "Before the war, if you were so hesitant, what qualifications do you have to be the leader? Wouldn't it be better to burn that forest?" , wouldn’t it be easier to just cook the spiders hiding inside?”

Then she pointed to the gray sky, sighed softly and said: "It's the rainy season in the Hierro plane now. What we have to pray for is that it doesn't rain later, otherwise these corpses will be set up." We don’t need any more kerosene.”

She squatted next to the orc Kentoa and looked curiously at the flamethrower in his hand that looked like a dwarf shotgun. However, the flamethrower's muzzle seemed much longer, and the copper tube was as thick as an arm. Six groups of wind magic arrays are engraved on it. There is an auxiliary air outlet attached to the jet nozzle. The entire jet is made of magic red copper, and the nozzle is made of high-temperature resistant crucible material.

"These wind magic arrays are really ugly to draw, but if you change the shape of the wind magic array in this way, can these magic arrays still function normally?" Qige looked at the long striped wind magic arrays with an incredible look.

I touched the familiar magic patterns on it and explained to Qige: "Of course, these magic runes were designed by Yerkes scholars. We tried countless times before we succeeded."

She looked at the hydraulic device of the flamethrower and asked me curiously: "What is this?"

"Hmm..." I prolonged my voice. I didn't know how to explain the principle of the hydraulic device to her for a while. There was no special word for hydraulics in the Imperial language, so I thought for a moment and said, "This is a kind of Hex technology." The device can spray water jets, and I used it on corpse fire oil to spray the corpse fire oil farther."

"It turns out that this magic instrument does not completely rely on the hurricane technique!" Qige is well-informed at the Magic Research Institute, so naturally she knows everything about it.

.

However, magicians are inherently resistant to Hex technology. Many magicians believe that magic and technology cannot coexist.

In history, the goblins were at their peak, when they created Hex Technology.

Qige asked me in surprise: "Why do you do research on these?"

I squinted my eyes, naturally unable to tell her that this thing was a fruit tree pesticide sprayer that I had used countless times in the orchard in my previous life, so I said: "I found some leftovers in the treasures of the goblin tribe in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley. Although I think the Hextech drawings are outdated, there are some very good ideas in those drawings. I combined the two and found that there are unexpected effects! "

Qige is very interested in some novel things. People who can become magicians have strong mental power. Generally, magicians are people with high IQs. These people are often more receptive to new things. She said excitedly: "Listen When you say that, I can't wait to see the power of your flamethrower!"

I smiled "hehe": "Haha, wait a minute, you will see it!"

"You have to stay away later. The fire that comes out of that thing is very hot!" Kentoya, who was wearing thick leather armor, said to Qige honestly.

Qige was in a good mood and even smiled sweetly at Kentoa, which made the young orc warrior blush immediately.

…

A heavy armored infantry regiment from the Durva Province of the Green Empire walked slowly on the mountainside plank road under the mountains. At the front was a row of shield warriors, each carrying a square shield like a door panel. A sharp Crusader sword hangs from his waist, and he wears steel plate armor forged in one piece. From a distance, they look like tin men. Their steps move very slowly, and their footsteps are abnormal. heavy.

The group of soldiers behind were carrying long halberds and covered with a layer of mail. Even the boots on their feet were covered with a layer of iron. The soldiers wore steel helmets with their iron masks lifted. He stood up, revealing tired faces, always looking weak and unable to lift his spirits. The armor on his body was covered with dust, as if he had traveled a long distance.

At the end was a team of longbow archers wearing leather armor. Each of them had very few long-shafted feather arrows left in their quivers. They carried an iron-framed longbow on their backs, but now it looked a bit like a decoration. These longbow archers wore leather hoods on their heads, short daggers on their waists, and long leather boots on their feet. Their equipment was very refined. They were at the end of the team and always looked a bit flustered.

The number of people in each branch of the army was less than a hundred. I estimated from a distance on the mountain that this group of imperial soldiers probably had less than two hundred people, but their armaments were very neat, there was no blood on their bodies, and there were no wounded. It seemed that they had not experienced any fierce battles, but they were not in good condition, as if they had not rested for a long time.

Sword and shield warriors, together with halberd soldiers and longbow archers, were the core basic configuration of the Green Empire Infantry Corps. Such an infantry corps could confront some light cavalry head-on, and was not inferior to those cavalry archer regiments that were good at hunting. This was the first time I saw a regular infantry regiment of the Green Empire.

In the northern province of Sloyt, the North Wind Corps is almost entirely composed of cavalry corps, because the barbarian warriors on the snowy tundra run as fast as galloping horses. What kind of infantry can stop the barbarian charge?

Those spider warriors are much stronger than the barbarians. Each of them is like an armored warrior riding a war elephant. When ordinary infantry corps encounter spider warriors, a charge can break up the formation. Those infantry have traveled a long way to rush here.

I don't understand why there are so many naive military deployments. After all, it is the Durva Province stationed in the inland area of ​​the Green Empire!

Durva Province is located in the territory of the Green Empire and has a large natural pasture. This province is extremely short of various resources, but its most advantageous feature is that it has a whole piece of high-quality pasture. Therefore, Durva Province is rich in war horses. Most of the Gubolai horses raised here are exported. The blue-scaled horses are superior in endurance and fast running speed, which are suitable for light cavalry. The black-scaled horses are superior in explosive power and short-range impact. They are also irritable. On the battlefield, they will not be afraid even when facing the barbaric bulls with "death gaze".

However, these advantages of Durva Province are completely invisible on the Yello plane. Facing the embarrassment of the spider warriors besieging the city, it turned out that a team of infantry teams with the standard configuration of the empire was a long-distance raid. I don't know how far away they came from. What is going on?

Seeing that heavy armored infantry regiment slowly coming over, knowing nothing about the spider warriors in the dense forest on the hillside, Qi Ge and I looked at each other speechlessly.
