Rise of the Plants

"What's going on? Why haven't you come back yet?" A group of people waited eagerly, watching the guy in front of him wander among the beetles. But if that guy doesn't come back, they can't get out.

After a long time, the soldier finally had enough fun and remembered what he wanted to do. His face turned red, he looked around carefully to make sure no one saw him, then he quickly turned around and ran towards the city wall.

Before he could get closer, a general shouted loudly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

The soldier ran over and said loudly: "Those beetles are not dead, but they can't move. Come down and kill them. I'm afraid we will waste some time." After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

"Quickly, equip your weapons and get down." A group of people quickly organized the soldiers and rushed out. Against beetles, pea cannons were useless, so they all put on armor and weapons. A large group of soldiers rushed out of the city gate like a red torrent. Even the long swords were replaced by weapons like spears.

"Aim a little bit. Have you seen it? The vital position of these beetles is here. This is the heart, but it is wrapped in a hard shell. They will not move now. We can attack here or directly attack the head."

The bald father came down in person, holding a spear, and stabbed a beetle in the abdomen. With a "puff" sound, the spear pierced instantly, killing the beetle completely. "What a sharp weapon." The bald dad said.

"Come a few people, capture a few alive, and put them in cages. We will continue to observe."

After saying hello, the bald father asked the soldiers to start killing. Although there is no passion in this, there is no danger after all. These are all actual achievements. In the past, the artillery had taken away all the credit, but now it was finally the infantry's turn. Those soldiers who usually didn't exercise well with their pea cannons started to get anxious now.

Due to lack of physical strength, after killing some beetles, he actually had to rest because he had no physical strength. This time, his own contribution is less. The artillerymen in the distance also looked depressed.

"Hmph, if it weren't for our artillery, how could they be so relaxed? I'm angry just to see how proud they are."

"Stop complaining. The higher-ups also want to preserve the cannonballs. It also takes time for our cannonballs to grow. If it's all wasted, what will we do if we encounter more dangerous battles in the future?"

A few days later, there were obviously many more guests in Giant Wood City. Many nobles sent people here to discuss the purchase of beetle poison bombs with Dad. There was nothing the bald dad could do, because this thing was being used in front of so many people and there was no way he could hide it.

Inside a fortress, a group of nobles were meeting here. "What's going on? Our people haven't succeeded yet?"

"Sir, we successfully stole a few beetle poison bombs, but we did not get the cannonball tree where the poison bombs grow. We have already studied it. The venom inside will vaporize and form a toxin as long as it encounters air. This poison Bullets are not harmful to bugs, but to other creatures, they are only a little uncomfortable at most.”

"You can't even steal this! What use do I need from you?" The noble looked furious.

A young man next to him said quickly: "Calm down, you don't know how strict Hongshaling's supervision of plant weapons is. It would be the same if it were us."

"Hmph, damn half-elf noble, if he wasn't so powerful, I would have snatched him away."

"Don't talk about half-elves. If you dare to touch him, you are going against us." This is a noble who has joined the Business Alliance. After joining, the benefits become greater and greater. Most people here are like this.

Even if it was for profit, they would not let anything happen to Chi Nan. Realizing that many people were staring at him, the nobleman quickly shut his mouth. If you continue talking, you still don’t know how they will attack you.

"Okay, let's talk about the artillery shells first. The specific effects of these artillery shells have been sent over."

The young noble from before came up with a report: "Our insider told us that this toxin cannot directly kill the beetles, but will only paralyze them, and then we will need ourselves. But the effect of this paralysis is very good. As long as it is poisoned, then The beetles will be paralyzed for the next two days and will recover after two days."

"Then what should we do if the beetles are rescued by their companions? Although we have not found the commander of these beetles, there must be someone behind them, otherwise the beetles would not be so coordinated."

The young noble nodded: "It is indeed a problem, but after research by Giant Wood City, even after it is relieved, it is not useless at all. If the beetle poisoning is relieved, there will be some sequelae on the body."

"This kind of sequelae will get worse every time. After recovering from three consecutive poisonings, the beetle will basically lose its fighting ability and can only wait to die. Even the meat of this kind of beetle will be poisoned if eaten by the same kind. And it is a one-time It will behave the same as if it was poisoned three times, and the effect will be weakened only if it is eaten again."

Everyone has known for a long time that beetles eat their own kind, so it is not surprising.

"It's such a powerful cannonball. We must get it. How are the discussions over there going?"

A nobleman shook his head: "They said they would wait until their lord returns to discuss this matter. Now Earl Chinan doesn't know where he has gone, and even they themselves don't know."

They don't know, and it's impossible for these people to know. "Moreover, they also vaguely raised a problem, that is, there are too many beetles in the Giant Wood City. They hope we can solve it."

Everyone shut their mouths. Everyone knew what was going on, and it was not the fault of those mages. The mage used magic to attack the beetles. Except for those that were directly killed, the others were actually guided and driven towards the east.

Every one of them was like this. The mages from many fortresses were united to guide them, and as a result, all the beetles ran away. However, there is a river to the east of Giant Wood City. The beetles cannot continue eastward and can only attack them.

"Those damn bastards," a noble cursed. There is no way, those are all mages, and in a sense, the status of mages is no lower than them. Although many nobles look down on mages, they still rely on their power. Especially in the mage desert of Remas, every mage must provide for it.

Without these mages before, dealing with those beetles and wild orcs was not an easy task.

"Let's talk to the mages. As long as we can buy this kind of shells, we can block the beetles even without the help of mages. These pneumatic cannons are not as effective as those with mage towers.
