“Deadly plants currently found multiplying in the Foul Swamp include, but are not limited to, bloodthirsty roots, glutton flowers, spiky lichens, lava grass, twining water vines, feral roots, piranhas, and the most dangerous primitive thorn beasts.
By the way, are you sure that thorn beast thing is a plant??”
In the headquarters of the Maginot Line of Defense, the tribune who was the commander of this line of defense looked at the inspection report submitted by the Big Bird Group with an incredible look of pain in his balls..
Kudel stared at the exaggerated descriptions of various new plants in this report. He was well-informed and couldn't help but ask.:
“During the Fourth Black Disaster, I fought side by side with the Red Knights of Avalon, and I did see them summoning war thorn beasts. I always thought it was a plant-like summoned beast. That kind of terrifying Things really do grow out of the ground?”
“Well, the growth process of the thorn beast does not rely on photosynthesis, but comes from the vitality in the blood of the enemy, Lord Tribune.”
Brother Miao Miao felt that as the only red knight in this era, he had the obligation to educate others about the characteristics of this unique plant, the thorn beast. But when he was about to start the lecture, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know much about this kind of thing. Limited to the legend about the thorn beast in old Eugene's book.
These superficial information obviously couldn't fool a hundred-year-old vampire, so he changed the subject very smoothly.:
“Don't just look at the plants, there are many dangerous animals in the swamp. Compared to the slow-moving carnivorous plants, these 'new guests' coming and going in the swamp are the troubles I think we should pay more attention to..
At least for us, the blessing of the God of Nature means that the carnivorous plants will not attack the Transians, but the animals are too hungry to care..”
“Well, okay.”
Kudel continued to read the report.
On the next page, Big Bird Group explains in detail the animal communities currently born in the filthy swamp. Just by looking at the names, you know that these things are definitely not easy to mess with.:
“Blood wasps, spine-drilling leeches, filth flies, dead wood scorpions, explosive toads, flying snakes. Wait, do flying snakes refer to snakes that can fly??”
The tribune felt that he had really seen the world today. He looked at Brother Ming Miao and said:
“I heard there is this kind of snake in the elven forest of Antani?”
“Yes, they are flying snakes native to the elven forest, but according to the investigation of the druids in our team, the venom of the flying snakes that appear in the foul swamp is more than five times that of their counterparts in the elven forest..
Once bitten, a life below the Silver level will die within thirty heartbeats at most..
They are basically black mambas with gliding wings and jungle camouflage. The worst part is that the number of flying snakes is increasing rapidly in the swamp..”
Brother Miao Miao replied with a painful look on his face.:
“Based on their survival mode of not being very picky about their habitat, it is estimated that they will be close to Wolfsburg in a week or two..
In addition to these small creatures, other species in the swamp have also received Avalon's blessing of war. Ordinary swamp tigers are rapidly becoming elites. Vampire bats, which were originally useless, have also learned to create shadow illusions..
In addition, for unknown reasons, the leaves of low trees in the swamp that were originally harmless are now poisonous..
Three or five shieldmen in my team were accidentally scratched by a blade, and they are still receiving detoxification treatment from the Druid at Wolfsburg..
That thing seems to be some kind of plant neurotoxin, which takes effect very quickly. Sanwu Dou is already a Silver Shielder, but he was made to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. I think even a jackal will definitely be paralyzed..”
“so serious?”
The tribune's expression became serious, he put down his report and said:
“I have issued a ban on the defense line and do not allow non-combatants to enter the Filthy Swamp, but after listening to your report, I feel that the changes in the Filthy Swamp seem to be more dangerous than I thought.?
Is it currently certain that this change is related to Avalon??”
“Well, the small holy place established by the church in the swamp has not been invaded by the surrounding demons and monsters. Those dangerous things are consciously avoiding the seat of Avalon. This is enough to prove their mutation and the blessing of the God of Nature. There is an irrefutable connection.
According to the druids, Avalon seems to want to establish a second ancestral forest in the Foul Swamp..
But the war blessing He gave this time was obviously a bit too much. The wave of God's hands directly caused the ecology of the swamp to change, and even many extinct creatures reappeared in the swamp..”
Brother Miao Miao explained seriously.:
“Those creatures are very aggressive, and even plants are generally carnivorous. It can be said that the current filthy swamp is gradually turning into a restricted area for life, but we guess that such changes should be temporary until the new food chain is established in the swamp. After stabilization, those weaklings who are not suitable for this environment will be eliminated. In the end, the swamp environment will not be as extreme as it is now, but we must be prepared to say goodbye to the filthy swamp of the past..
This unsettling change is still going on, and even the druids can't tell what the Foul Swamp will eventually become, but considering that this is Avalon's blessing, the purpose is to help us resist the Black Scourge, so these The primary target of dangerous creatures is definitely the gnoll..
This was not a bad thing for the defense of the Maginot Line.
At least until the gnolls defeated this swamp, we didn’t need to worry about being directly attacked by those bastards, but when we left the swamp, the druid in the team said that she felt that the will of nature had been born in the swamp..
Therefore, my suggestion is that if we want to conduct a swamp battle, we should let the Avalon believers be the main force, and try to avoid disturbing the will of the swamp, so as not to attract its counterattack.”
Kudel nodded and said:
“But the number of Avalon believers is not large. Can you gain an advantage in the swamp battle just by relying on you??”
“sure! tribune.”
Brother Miao Miao said confidently:
“Now the entire swamp is our ally. The stupid gnolls thought that the swamp was their advantageous terrain, but when they really set foot here, they will know that this will become their green grave.!
But our Big Bird Group will follow Lord Paying to kill gods soon, so it would be more appropriate for you to entrust the next matter to Ms. Natalie..”
——
At the other end of the filthy swamp, a group of two hundred jackals and warg cavalry who came from Baphomet Canyon were stepping into the swamp under the leadership of Warlord Colt..
This vanguard belongs to the Bloodscar clan. In the just-concluded "Shadow Valley Purge", the vanguard was judged by the Lord Chosen to be loyal to the Lord of Hunting, and therefore received the honor of becoming a vanguard..
Warlord Colt was originally just a barbarian leader. His immediate boss was thrown into the underground palace of Baphomet, where the current battle was becoming increasingly cruel, because of his "disloyalty" to serve the gods. As a result, he was picked up by this short-tailed jackal. A leak.
These gnolls are all fast-moving hunters and assassins. This configuration obviously does not allow them to attack the Transians head-on, but to collect battlefield intelligence on the filthy swamp for the subsequent army..
The entire war in the Desolate Mountains proved that the Transians would not be able to give up even an inch of land to the gnolls, so Hugersen had enough reason to believe that there was also a fierce battle waiting for them in the Filthy Swamp..
This is the responsibility of the gnolls commanded by Colt. They must find out what is in the filthy swamp for their overseer.?
“Well, swamp, the comfortable humidity, the satisfying quagmire, the nostalgic coolness.”
Colt, the new warlord riding on the warg, was in great spirits. Like other gnolls, he liked shady environments like swamps, so he and his soldiers instinctively relaxed their vigilance after entering here..
this is normal.
Any living thing will be very relaxed in its own comfort zone, but then the accident comes.
Less than two minutes after Warlord Colt finished praising the swamp environment and dispersed his two hundred men to find a camp, the first unexpected attrition occurred..
“What? He was dragged into the mud by the vines in the swamp and drowned.?”
The short-tailed warlord was dumbfounded as he listened to the unhappy-looking hunter captain in front of him reporting the death of his team members. He felt incredible and then cursed.:
