Chapter 119: The First Battle of Tree People (Subscription Request)

Giant Tree City.

A huge tree rises from the ground in the center of the city, towering into the clouds, with lush branches and leaves, like a giant blood-red tower.

The entire city is shrouded in it, blocking out the sky and the sun, hence the name Giant Tree City.

An altar was built near the trunk of the giant tree.

A grand sacrifice is going on.

A large amount of monster blood was poured onto the giant tree, making the blood red on the tree even more brilliant. The bloody monster corpses were also dug into a pit and buried inside.

The tree man elder, with an old face and a crown of thorns on his head, performed an ancient dance dedicated to the ruler of this city.

"Great giant tree spirit, your pious servant is here to report that we have discovered a new human force not far to the west of Giant Tree City. We need your instructions. Should we conquer this force?"

This human force naturally refers to the Night Tribe. With such a large-scale city-building action, coupled with the wanton conquest of nearby tribal forces, even though the tree people of Giant Tree City were a little slow to react, they were not blind and would definitely discover the existence of an additional force.

In fact, a month ago, the troops led by Ye Zhan had fought with them. Although it was only a small force, it was already an outrageous situation that was discovered only now.

However, this is related to their racial characteristics. As a special race of monsters, tree people have a long lifespan and simple thinking, so their pace of life is very slow.

It can be said that if it were not for the guidance of the giant tree, they would probably not have been able to form a complete force until now, let alone form an army and form a class like they do now.

But this also formed a bad habit. The tree people liked to ask the blood-red giant tree for its opinion and did not like to use their brains.

The blood-red giant tree swayed, and the huge consciousness awakened from its slumber. A steady and slow voice entered the sea of ​​consciousness of the tree man elder:

"Conquer them, and all the troops of Giant Tree City can be mobilized. You will be responsible for all matters."

"Thank you for your guidance."

After receiving the instructions, the tree man elder raised his hands high and knelt down to worship. Seeing this, the tree people behind him hurriedly followed the elder's footsteps and knelt down to express their gratitude.

After a while, the tree man elder stood up and turned to face the tall tree men.

With its back to the towering tree, it raised the scepter in its hand and spoke solemnly: "The great spirit of the giant tree has given us inspiration, powerful tree warriors, go and conquer that foreign force. Let them return to the embrace of the spirit of the giant tree. This is the gift given to them by the spirit of the giant tree!"

Hearing this, the tree people shouted loudly.

"Conquer! Conquer! Conquer!"

Although the tree people were lazy, they were inevitably infected with bloodthirstiness under the "watering" of the giant tree spirit and were transformed into blood-red tree people.

Therefore, they are not averse to war, which means they can have a delicious meal.

Yes, delicious food.

As a special monster race, although they have the word "human" in their name, they do not actually need to eat like humans and normal races. They can absorb the nutrients they need from the soil and air.

And because the Giant Tree City was built on a large spiritual stone vein, apart from absorbing water once in a long time, they can even survive by eating air.

To put it simply, the three meals a day are regular and nutritious, but the taste is not very good.

How should I describe this kind of life? It is very suitable for a race like the tree people.

But the premise is that they have not been transformed and educated
"Karu, I will grant you the Scepter of Conquest and order you to lead the Treeman Warriors to conquer that new foreign force."

As an elder of the tree people, it has a very high status, but after entering the aging period, its strength is no longer as strong as before, so it can only appoint other young and strong tree people to lead the troops to war.

"Following the guidance of the giant tree spirit, I will conquer them! Victory belongs to the Giant Tree City!"

The tree man leader, who was four meters tall and extremely burly, took the scepter with both hands and shouted loudly.

This is a blood-red tree man at the seventh level.

"May the spirit of the giant tree protect you."

The tree man elder gave his blessing with a serious expression.

Kalu took the scepter and left the altar.

All the tree people in the entire Giant Tree City started to move, and soon, an army of 150,000 tree people left the Giant Tree City and headed straight for the camp of the Night Tribe.

With the Sky-Splitting Eagle's patrol, the movements of Giant Tree City could not be hidden from the Night Tribe at all.

After just a short while, news came back.

"What! The army of tree people is coming towards us?"

The people who were arranging their armies and preparing to challenge Giant Tree City were all a little surprised when they heard the news.

"It's incredible that those slow-moving guys would actually take the initiative to attack!" Ye Zhan had a smile on his face and didn't care much about the upcoming army of tree people.

"So what should we do now? Should we continue to attack and meet them halfway, or wait here for them to come?" a general asked.

"Wait, with the help of the city walls and so many defensive equipment, it will be easier for us to fight." Another general suggested.

"I agree. We don't really know the strength of those tree people. We have only fought them in night battles. It is more reliable to fight a defensive battle."

"Objection, we are the most powerful elite force of the Night Tribe. It would have been fine if we didn't know before, but now we know that the enemy is coming. How can we just sit there and wait for death? We should take the initiative to attack and defeat them halfway!"

Everyone was talking and expressing their opinions.

The generals had different opinions and no one could convince anyone else, and in the end, no results were reached.

Finally, everyone looked at the commander in the main seat, the highest person in charge of this Western Expedition army, Chang Li.

"Have you ever thought about how long it will take for the tree people to come here? From what I know, the tree people's movements are mostly slow. Even if they have no logistics and are a relatively elite army, their marching speed may not be very fast. If we wait here, it may take ten days or half a month... Are we just going to wait like this?"

Chang Li slowly spoke, "There is one more thing I agree with. We are a tribe favored by the gods. How can we wait for our opponents to come to us? What's more, we will conquer them in the future. At that time, they will be the ones guarding the city, not us. If we don't even dare to fight head-on, how can we win in the more difficult siege battles later?"

After that, without giving others a chance to speak, he slammed the table and directly issued the order:
"Go and inform your respective troops to attack in an hour."

After the commander-in-chief made the decision, even though there were still other opinions among the generals, no one spoke out to refute. They just stood up and accepted the order.

"As ordered."

"Yes."

"Take orders."

Leaving the meeting hall, everyone began to gather troops.

Not long after, the army that had been preparing was quickly gathered together. Chang Li gave a pre-war speech as usual, left a small number of soldiers to guard the house, and then led the army of 150,000 people straight to the army of tree people.

The tree people have aerial reconnaissance units. They have trained many swift eagle monsters. These flying monsters are famous for their speed and are incredibly fast.

Kalu, the commander of the treeman army, is a seventh-level being, and he is very different from his companions.

The most obvious difference is in intelligence.

Compared to other races, tree people have simpler thinking.

When there is no command, they are like a tree, and can stay in place for a long time. In short, they just don't like to think.

But Kalu is different. After being promoted to the seventh level, not only his body, but also his consciousness has been sublimated.

So it will take the initiative to do some things, such as scouting the enemy's situation, or sending faster-moving troops to scout ahead.

"Has Swift Eagle not come back yet?"

The army of tree people marching on foot was as Chang Li had said, moving incredibly slowly.

Especially those giant tree men, they are extremely slow, and every step they take can drive normal people crazy, and they would want to go up and chop them up.

"Yes, not a single one came back."

The adjutant beside him replied.

"What's going on? According to past experience, they should have returned long ago."

Kalu was very puzzled. Things were beyond his expectations and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"It's possible that he ran into other troubles, such as being entangled by other flying monsters, or being killed by the enemy."

The adjutant stated his guess very straightforwardly. Upon hearing this, Kalu nodded thoughtfully and agreed, "It's possible."

Then it ordered: "Then send out two more swift eagles. This time, let them fly higher and not too far."

Soon, two more swift eagles that had reached the fifth-order extraordinary level flew out at an incredibly fast speed, and when flying in the air, they were like a black lightning.

After a while, they were out of the sight of the tree man army.

Soar into the sky.

The Swift Eagle cried out excitedly, enjoying the hard-earned journey.

It was flying happily when it suddenly became dark above its head, as if something huge had blocked the sun. Sensing that something was wrong, the Swift Eagle immediately accelerated and flew forward, but it was unable to escape the dark shadow above its head.

Above the sky, there was a giant eagle with a wingspan of dozens of meters, flying slowly in the sky as if it was patrolling its territory.

tear
After chasing for a distance, the Sky-Splitting Eagle lost interest in hunting. Green light appeared on its claws, and its wings flapped violently, and then it tore forward.

The Swift Eagle Monster, which was a powerful fifth-level monster, didn't even have the ability to resist. It was torn into pieces immediately, turned into a pile of blood, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, another swift eagle monster encountered the same situation.

As the second batch of Sky-Splitting Eagles grew up, the Night Tribe now has dozens of flying monsters.

Among them, the first batch of Sky-Splitting Eagles have also grown to the sixth level, and their leader has fallen into a deep sleep, waiting to wake up to become the true overlord of the sky.

The second batch of Sky-Splitting Eagles grew extremely fast. In just a few years, some of the "Genius Eagles" had caught up with their parents and became sixth-level monsters.

This is due to Su Xingyu's strengthening, as well as better environment and more abundant resources.

Compared to the terrible situation when the first batch of Sky-Splitting Eagles had to hunt for themselves when they were growing up, the treatment of the second batch of Sky-Splitting Eagles is now much better. All kinds of spiritual materials and potions that help their growth are poured into their mouths like crazy.

In this environment, they quickly became effective combat units.

Therefore, it is impossible to forget them when going on foreign expeditions.

Both expeditionary forces deployed the Sky-Splitting Eagle Squad.

The powerful air advantage made the tree people army almost blind and unable to detect any intelligence.

So they don't know that the target they are going to attack has already sent troops to fight with them.

Two days later.

The two armies met in the wasteland. The difference was that the Night Tribe was well prepared, while the Treeman army was still a little confused.

This does not affect the battle though.

"Warlock Legion, give the other side a hard blow, Exploding Fireball!"

As soon as they met, Chang Li commanded the organized ogre army behind the army to launch an attack.

Fire can burn trees,

Although treants are not completely trees, the fireballs of the kobold warlocks are not simple fireballs. So after learning that the opponents were treants, he specifically asked for the kobold warlock legion.

The three legions, totaling 24,000 kobold warlocks, immediately exerted their strength, raised their staffs, and huge fire elements were condensed.

In an instant, fireballs fell from the sky and flew towards the army of tree people.

"Blood-red spear throwers, shoot them through. Giant tree warriors, stop the falling fireballs."

Kalu showed no sign of panic as he commanded the treeman army to resist the counterattack.

The treeman spear thrower at the back pulled out a short spear from his back, then raised it slightly and aimed at the fireball in the sky, suddenly exerting force with his arm which was thicker and longer than that of his peers.

Whoosh whoosh—

The blood-red spears shot up into the sky and thousands of arrows were fired at the fireball.

bang bang bang-

After being pierced by the short spear, the already unstable fireball exploded immediately.

In this round of attack, only about one-third of the fireballs were destroyed, and a considerable part of them still fell into the army of tree people.

The giant tree warrior roared, and a blood-red light spread among the army. With the response of other tree warriors, a layer of blood-red energy shield was erected directly above the tree army.

Tens of thousands of fireballs fell, causing a series of loud noises, and flames instantly covered the entire army of tree people.

However, under the protection of the energy shield, the treeman army did not suffer any casualties.

"That's interesting. Let's give them another shot and see how long they can last."

Looking at the red shield, Chang Li was a little surprised, and then ordered the Warlock Legion to continue throwing fireballs.

Exploding fireballs are just regular attacks on Kobold Warlocks. Just throw a few and the cost isn't that great.

However, this blood-colored shield may not be so easy to maintain.

Three waves of fireballs fell, and the blood-colored shield was directly blown up.

The fireball exploded, blasting the tree man away directly. The blazing flames spread in all directions, causing the tree man army to panic.

At the same time, the melee troops below have also met.

"You like throwing fireballs, right, tree warrior? Crush them for me."

Kalu roared, and the treeman warriors in the front row collided with the black-armored warriors, and a fierce fight began.
