My Magic Age

The first battle on the edge of the southern Black Forest was a bit unexpected. The native warriors of the Gilda tribe who followed the barbarian slaves had not even joined the battlefield yet, and the barbarian slaves' 800 heavy crossbows killed the Nibru spiders and routed them.

The North Wind Legion's construct knights were used to this kind of scene, but for those construct knights from the Sea Sound Silk City, this scene of sweeping the battlefield with 800 crossbows was indeed a bit too shocking, especially when hundreds of tree spirit warriors formed an unbreakable tree wall in front of the position, and countless tree roots tied the rushing spider warriors firmly in place. Those crossbows exuding magic breath with a harsh whistle pierced the bodies of several spider warriors, and the powerful penetrating power made the crossbows soaked with black and purple spider blood.

Ten second-level knights in the North Wind Legion surrounded the remaining spider commander. The spider commander tried to break out of the knights' siege several times, but unfortunately, under the joint resistance of the second-level knights, although he did not show signs of defeat for a while, his body was already covered with scars. The weapons in the hands of the ten second-level knights of the North Wind Legion were not ordinary iron. Although the spider commander had a strong insect armor, he could not stop the knights from hacking and killing him with all their strength.

Although the tree spirit warriors had thick fur and strong recovery ability, they could not catch up with the spider warriors who tried to escape in the forest. After the barbarian slaves shot and killed thousands of spider warriors, they scattered on the battlefield, carrying the black iron axes hanging on their waists, like a group of thugs rushing into a sugarcane field, they chopped off the spider legs of the spider warriors one after another. No matter how Justus and the minotaur Luka summoned them, they could not form a formation again.

The spider warriors in the Nibru spider camp were defeated at the edge of the Black Forest, and the construct knights ambushed in the dense forest quickly rushed out to chase and kill these spider warriors.

At this time, the construct knights of the South Wind Legion also rushed into the battlefield. At first, they seemed a little cautious and kept the formation of the Knights. However, as they killed dozens of fleeing spider warriors on the battlefield, these construct knights gradually became bolder and the originally tight formation loosened.

And Kalancuo led more than a hundred orc construct warriors, and even exaggeratedly intercepted the spider warriors on the road they had to flee, and led more than a hundred orc warriors to charge at the thousands of fleeing spider warriors distributed in the dense forest.

This action immediately aroused the last bit of blood in the hearts of the fleeing spider warriors, so some spider warriors in the spider group launched a counterattack against Kalancuo and the orc warriors who were rushing towards them. Just when the two sides were about to fight, several tongues of fire sprayed out from the bushes beside Kalancuo and the orc warriors, and the flames wrapped in countless corpse fire oil splashed on the bodies of the spider warriors, and instantly burned in the spider group.

This fire burned away the last bit of courage of the spider warriors, and the spiders were like a group of headless flies flying around in the forest.

On the battlefield behind, the knights and followers of the North Wind Legion held a linen bag in one hand and a sickle in the other hand, and began to clean up the battlefield in a well-trained manner.

Seeing the chaotic battlefield, Ledie kept soothing the somewhat agitated Asian dragon. Several spider warriors who ran in the wrong direction had their throats cut by Katarina before they could rush to me. Several other spider warriors were knocked into the sky by a poisonous flower vine that sprang out of the soil. Two vines, one thick and one thin, entered the battlefield.

Le Die glanced at Morayaer, then set her eyes on me and asked me: "Is this the power of 800 barbarian slaves?"

"Don't you think this is a wonderful picture showing the cooperation between different races? The containment of the construct knights on the other side, the tree wall formed by the tree spirit warriors, and the bed crossbows in the hands of the barbarian slaves are all crucial factors for winning this battle." I pointed to the construct knights chasing behind the spider warriors in the distance, and pointed to the tree spirit warriors blocking the barbarian slaves, and said to Le Die: "Of course, I can't deny the role of these magic crossbows in the battle. After all, magic gives them powerful penetrating power, allowing them to almost ignore the armor on the spider warriors."

The dwarf engineers added four wheels to the bulky bed crossbows, which gave them a certain degree of mobility. Despite this, they still seemed too bulky and inconvenient to move. Now these bed crossbows have been equipped with handles by female dwarf craftsmen, so that the barbarians can hold them in their hands.

This group of barbarian slaves is like 800 free-moving crossbows. The power of a volley of 800 crossbows is certainly not resistable by these spider warriors.

"So... the giant crossbow arrows with magic patterns that were sold before were actually failed products produced in the process of making these magic crossbow arrows? So you will use the purchase price to sell those giant crossbow arrows that look more exquisite but have no enhancement effect?" Le Die seemed to have figured out the key point here, which is also what Count Conrad and Marquis Haslaber have been unable to figure out.

They couldn't understand why I sold ordinary giant crossbow arrows cheaper than those in the blacksmith shop, and even the price of those magic crossbow arrows was quite cheap... There was an urge to re-evaluate the cost of war.

"This will save me some losses. You probably can't imagine how big the base number of these giant crossbow arrows is." I explained to Ledie: "I will also sell some giant crossbow arrows with single magic attributes to the Nanfeng Legion now, although it only accounts for a small part of the total... But then again, ordinary giant crossbow arrows are already very powerful in the city defense battle, and magic crossbow arrows are actually more suitable for field battles."

"Like the battle in front of you?" Ledie narrowed her eyes, with a thoughtful expression on her face, a bit like Ying Li. As the princess of the Angelbold royal family, she is just a little willful.

"That's right! And as long as they are not severely damaged, these magic crossbow arrows can be picked up and reused." I said.

Le Die looked at the battle that was coming to an end and said, "The situation in the Yelo plane... doesn't seem as bad as the rumors say. The magic newspapers in the imperial capital only talk about specious things, but they can never get the real news."

After the battle, the tree spirit warriors scattered again in the forest around our team. When they walked, the tree trunks would make a creaking sound, which would make people feel that the branches would break at any time.

At this time, Le Die realized that these tree spirits who had been migrating southward were not just on the same route as us. They were traveling with us all the way. In fact, it should have been planned long ago. Once a battle broke out, these tree spirit warriors would provide support as soon as possible, and our route was not to move forward aimlessly along the tree-lined road. We arrived here to clean up this spider camp.

I learned from the tree spirits that Zach and Ernestine's army had reached the edge of the Black Forest, and they had already come into contact with the Nibru Spider Army. The two sides were also fighting tentatively, but the morale of the Nibru Spider Warriors was low and their fighting will was not strong. These were all messages from the tree spirit warriors.

I led the army to the southernmost end of the Black Forest and saw the endless swamp sea. It was a swamp covered with lush aquatic plants and numerous large and small pools of water. It was so large that it was endless, so it was called the Swamp Sea.

After entering the summer, the continuous rainy days made the entire Black Forest look wet. The soil in the forest was full of water. There were several streams in the Black Forest winding from north to south, and finally merged into several rivers to flow into the swamp sea. Now the pools in the swamp sea are almost connected, and the lush aquatic plants can only slightly reveal the top leaf tips in the swamp sea. According to Connie, this place was originally called the Ancient Battlefield, and was later changed to the Swamp Sea.

The Nibru Spiders came out from the depths of the Swamp Sea. Now this group of spiders smelled the smell of danger in the Black Forest. The naturally cruel and timid spiders decided to abandon the Black Forest and retreat to the depths of the Swamp Sea. Unfortunately, it was the summer with abundant rain. A large amount of rain flowed into the Swamp Sea, blocking the retreat of the spiders. About hundreds of thousands of spider warriors gathered at the southern edge of the Black Forest, trying to find a way home.

After the ban array in the forest was lifted, the ancient war trees and tree spirits were no longer bound by the array. When they could move freely in the forest, they launched a revenge operation against the Nibru spiders. They had absolute control over the forest. The tree spirits began to hunt the giant spiders lurking in the forest. No matter where the giant spiders were hiding, they could be found by the tree spirits, killed, or expelled.

As the lowest existence in the Nibru spider society, the giant spider's duty is to assist the spider warriors. In addition, the giant spider has the ability to build spider camps, hunt in the jungle, and make prey into silk cocoons. These silk cocoons storing nutrient solution are the food for the spider warriors to survive.

The trees in the forest extend all the way to the water, and some trees also grow in the swamp. The indigenous warriors of the Gilda tribe collectively stand at the edge of the swamp, looking at the vast swamp sea. These indigenous people who have lived in the jungle for generations see the world outside the forest, and their hearts are extremely shocked.

Several swamp giant crocodiles sank into the water from a distance, leaving only a very shallow water line on the water surface, slowly approaching these indigenous warriors.

Before they swam to the shore, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind the native warriors. The barbarian slaves appeared behind the native warriors with heavy crossbows on their backs. They saw the approaching giant swamp crocodiles at first sight. In the eyes of the barbarian slaves, these giant swamp crocodiles were no different from the sea fish in the sea of ​​the Wasiqi plane. They rushed to pick up the crossbows, looked at the rippling water surface in the swamp, and took out ordinary giant crossbow arrows from the quiver behind them. Several giant crossbow arrows shot into the water with a whistling sound, and huge water splashed in the water immediately. The more than five-meter-long swamp crocodile floated to the surface of the water, with two thick giant crossbow arrows stuck on its back. In severe pain, it turned its body and tried to break the crossbow arrows on its back, but those crossbow arrows had already shot through its body.

A pool of bright red blood appeared in the swamp. After struggling for a while, several giant swamp crocodiles finally ran out of strength and floated on the water, revealing their white bellies. Sharp giant crossbow arrows were pointing obliquely at the sky. Although those giant swamp crocodiles were not completely dead, they were not far from death.

The barbarian slaves strode into the swamp, swinging the ropes in their hands, catching the giant crocodiles floating on the water, and pulled them to the shore in a few seconds. The swamp giant crocodiles were still trying to make a dying struggle, but unfortunately the native warriors stabbed their spears into the skulls of the swamp giant crocodiles and killed them decisively.

The barbarian slaves grabbed the forelimbs of the swamp giant crocodile with one hand and the tail of the giant crocodile with the other hand, carried it on their shoulders, turned around and walked back to the deep forest.

The native warriors also reluctantly left the shore and turned back to the forest. They needed to build a tree house in the forest before dinner, and also help the barbarian slaves and the constructed knights build some simple wooden beds.

The barbarian slaves' dinner was roasted swamp giant crocodile and roasted spider leg meat. The swamp was rich in products. The construct knights picked up some water bird eggs by the water. The construct knights of the South Wind Legion even walked into the swamp and caught some big blue-scaled fish with harpoons. However, these specialties by the water could not satisfy the appetite of 27,000 people. Most people still wanted to drink broth and eat wheat cakes, but the Yelo native warriors liked to eat wheat cakes very much.

I asked Puyaka: Has anyone ever crossed this swamp sea? What is the other side of the sea? .

Such a hero appeared in the tribe. According to his description, the other side of the swamp sea is actually a large rift valley. Some people say that it is the end of the world. "Puyaka told me everything he knew.

Kalancuo and the orc warriors burned down the spider camp in front of them. When they burned the spider camp, some giant spiders hiding in the camp emerged again, screaming and running away. Before they could crawl out, they were burned to death in the blazing fire. The overflowing grease burst into sparks in the flames, and crackling sounds burst out, accompanied by the wailing of giant spiders, which sounded quite terrifying.

But this time I found that there didn't seem to be many silk cocoons hanging on the dead branches in the entire spider camp. It seems that the Nibru spiders don't have much food reserves here. The giant spiders can't enter the Black Forest to hunt recently. It is estimated that the spiders in the camp are temporarily starving. I don't know what the Nibru spiders that Zack and Ernestine are facing will be like...
