“Bang”
The sweep of the claw splitter's war hammer brought about a dazzling splash of thunder, which wiped out all the blood bees that rushed towards Xu Gesen. At the same time, it also destroyed a large area of spiked lichen that was about to explode in the thunder and shock, and by the way tore apart the large pieces of spiked lichens that were about to explode from high altitude. The wild roots of prey allowed all three attacks to be dealt with in an instant, which fully proved Xu Gesen's growing strength and superb skills..
But there was no trace of pride on the Grand Overseer's face. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with vigilance..
Warlord Hass who was following him frowned even more. The abnormally growing swamp in front of him made him feel that some extreme and invisible malice was spreading its claws against them..
After sending two reconnaissance teams into the swamp, but nothing happened, the old jackal sensed a problem. After conducting on-the-spot investigations and realizing the seriousness of the problem, it immediately passed the news to Xu Gesen, who happened to be leading an elite vanguard. The chosen ones who were near the swamp rushed over as quickly as possible. It was the seventh minute since they entered the filthy swamp, and the number of times they were attacked was nine.！
Before they had even gone 500 meters, all kinds of strange things appeared one after another. Xu Gesen was even forced to fight with a tree that threw rotten egg fruits. This fully proved the majestic power of the Filthy Swamp at this time. Predatory appetite and gluttonous hunger.
It's like a green monster is opening its mouth hungrily, waiting for the delicacy called "Jackal" to take the initiative to enter its stomach..
“The power of this swamp is abnormal, the Chosen One.”
Warlord Hass held his halberd tightly, moving his body very uncomfortably, and glanced at the guards beside him who were looking at each other suspiciously. The wild jackals had never seen anything like this when they were running rampant in the Dark Mountains. things, but those strange creatures are absolutely impossible to be born naturally. This is obviously a trap.！
The blocking positions created by the evil Transians using some kind of magic are just like the tunnel system they dug in the barren mountains. They are a trick to try to stop the advance of the Black Disaster..
But compared to those tunnels that won't suddenly jump up and bite you, the swamp in front of you, where you will be killed if you don't kill something, is obviously more aggressive..
“They revitalized the swamp, but with the power of human psionicists, even the druids of the Church of Avalon couldn't do it to this extent. The entire swamp came alive in the most extreme way. This is not The means that mortals can mobilize.”
Xugersen glanced around with his warhammer. The Chosen One's perception told him that there was danger everywhere, and the most dangerous warning came from the water currents crisscrossing the swamp..
It looked carefully and found a few resting toads lying in the dirty water not far away..
That thing is glowing with weird fluorescence.
The instinct for danger is warning it to stay as far away from those seemingly inconspicuous toads as possible..
“The power of the gods! There is no doubt that after Gaia, Avalon also officially intervened in this black disaster that is about to come to an end in a despicable way..”
Hugersen was quick to make the absolutely correct assessment.
But both it and its adjutant, Warlord Hass, know that it is meaningless to figure out the source of the swamp mutation now. The most important thing is to come up with a solution..
As far as the current situation of the Filthy Swamp is concerned, allowing ordinary gnolls to enter it can only provide extra food for these damn plants. If even capable hunters cannot cope with this complex and cruel ecological system, then this hellish place will be useless to ordinary tribesmen. A true green hell.
“Get out, there's nothing to see here.”
Xu Gesen decisively issued the order to retreat. It took its own guards and retreated together with the guards of Governor Haas. During the retreat, a vigilant guard suddenly discovered that the vines behind were growing like giant snakes in the muddy water. Walking through it, it immediately opened its bow and shot an arrow, piercing the vicious entangled water vine with one arrow..
It's like nailing the giant snake to the ground so that the thing can no longer hide and move forward..
Two barbarian soldiers immediately stepped forward and chopped the thing into pieces. As a result, when the water vine was torn into pieces, green pungent juice burst out. The jackal warriors who smelled the smell immediately felt dizzy, and they shook their heads and backed away. , one of them saw something like a metal emblem half hidden in the muddy water..
It felt that this might be something left by the Transians. In the paralysis, his brain twitched and he bent down and tried to pick it up..
“don't touch it！”
Warlord Hass's scolding came in time, but the dizzy Jackal reacted a little slower. The moment it came into contact with the iron piece, a dazzling fire exploded on the spot, followed by painful whimpering in the smoke. Ring.
That kind of small explosive obviously couldn't kill a strong jackal soldier, but its five fingers were completely blown open, and the vicious butterfly thunder turned it from a powerful warrior into a weaponless one. A cripple that cannot be taken away.
All this happened in the gap, so fast that the people around him didn't even have time to help. The barbarian soldier covered his hands and lay on the ground in pain. A hunting priest stepped forward to treat it..
Xu Gesen watched this scene with cold eyes..
This explosion and its outstanding results made it realize that these vicious things sprinkled all over the swamp were not intended to cause death. The Transians specially developed this kind of thing that could not cause death but was easy to produce, just to make the jackals The number of wounded and disabled people has increased, so as to hinder their logistics and severely damage their morale..
When you know that you have to fight in a place where anything can kill you, and even if you save your life, you risk being disabled, even the wild gnoll will feel Alexander, and war is too stressful. Being big is often the first step towards death.
Facing the vicious weapon of asymmetric warfare like the Butterfly Mine, Xu Gesen realized how dangerous the war it would face next was..
This intensity has far exceeded the tunnel battles around the Desolate Mountains, and if you think about it further, if the Transians had proven the feasibility of tunnel battles before, then they would definitely advance similar efforts in the Filthy Swamp. strategy.
Maybe there is a tunnel hidden under my feet, and Transian scouts are hiding in it to collect all the information they need..
When he thought of this, Xu Gesen's annoyance became even higher..
The Chosen One's brows did not relax until it exited the scope of the filthy swamp. The Hass Warlord next to it also realized the seriousness of the problem, but it could not come up with anything after searching for decades of war experience. a feasible solution.
This kind of fighting method is something it has never encountered before. The only way it can think of is to order the kobolds to rush into the swamp to "demin with human flesh".”.
Well, this method may be effective. Anyway, there are so many kobolds, so no matter how many people die, it will not affect their reproduction..
But the problem is that if he wants to "feed" this hungry swamp with kobolds, Warlord Hass estimates that he will have to send two-thirds of all the kobolds currently attached to the gnolls into it, at least! But the kobolds have always been an important grassroots force in the Black Disaster. If all the kobolds are dead, the jackals alone cannot continue to move forward with huge casualties..
“Call in the Hunting Priests! Send barbarian soldiers to the underground palace of Baphomet to capture some sacrifices..”
After a few minutes, Hugersen spoke.：
“We are going to hold a hunting sacrifice here. Since Avalon has strengthened the swamps of the Transians in a despicable way, then this confrontation between gods will also end with our gods. The Lord of Hunting has the priesthood of hunting. If He sends His blessing, it will surely help our soldiers to move freely in this dangerous swamp..”
“But our God has not yet been born.”
Overseer Hass whispered.：
“The priests say there is a limit to the power a sleeping god can give..”
“This is no longer the time to be objective. He must give！”
The irritable Xu Gesen said in a deep voice：
“If He wants to see the slaughter coming in Transia, if He wants to see more blood pouring out to please Him, this black disaster is a sacrifice to revive the gods, don't worry, Hass.
Our God is generous in this kind of destruction.
Do as I say, let the soldiers gather here but don't step into the filthy swamp rashly, and prepare kindling.
Send the kobolds into the swamp with those things during preparations for the ritual. I don't think fire can deal with those carnivorous plants, but there's no harm in trying..”
“And those evil mines hidden throughout the jungle.”
Haas whispered：
“The actions of the kobolds can help our warriors clear out those hidden threats. However, Grand Overseer, I heard that Overseer Gehrman has captured the dwarf city. The dwarves are the largest users of firearms on this continent. A wide range of races, maybe we can get a piece of the Bonegnawing Clan's victory.
Our soldiers are not used to using muskets, but explosives such as bombs can obviously be incorporated into our war system.
The Transians gave us a hard time with this stuff, maybe we should learn from them？”
“Well, what you said makes sense, but Hermann may not be willing to assist us..”
Xu Gesen thought for a while and said：
“Send a hunting priest. No, go back to Mossy Valley yourself! Please ask Chief Amot to mediate. The road from the Brass Ruins to the Shadow Valley via the Hungry Plains is now under the control of the Jackals. If everything goes well, we will have enough by the time we reach the Maginot Line. of explosives are available.”
