Chapter 595: Pollution Begins! (8000)
"Roar...!"
The monsters screamed sharply, greedily devouring the corpses lying in all directions.
Their sense of smell was very sharp, and they could smell the "meat" inside through the soil and ruins.
They did not spare their physical strength at all, directly digging up the soil and ruins above, not letting go of any blood and meat.
These actions of the twisted tree spirits caused extreme discomfort to the Cole elf warriors.
Seeing them desecrate the corpses of their companions in this way, unspeakable anger kept surging in their hearts.
The orders to retreat and reorganize the army forced them to leave.
Even so, there were still conflicts between Cole elf warriors and twisted tree spirits.
The former was ready to treat their companions who had not yet died, and the latter would not let go of the flesh and blood at their mouths.
The combat power of the twisted tree spirit was very strong, and ordinary attacks were almost ineffective against it.
The wounds cut by swords and knives could heal in two or three breaths.
And the blood-colored vines they waved were not only extremely fast but also tough and powerful.
Once entangled by it, it is almost impossible to break free by yourself.
The Cole elf warriors suffered in the conflict, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Cole elf elites.
They attacked mercilessly, enchanted arrows and various spells came one after another, and soon killed the twisted tree spirits that crossed the line.
The remaining twisted tree spirits immediately became much more honest.
The bloodthirsty ancient tree did not care about the result of this test.
It still greedily devoured the corpses transported over, constantly strengthening its body.
Soon, the bloodthirsty ancient tree grew to 30 meters tall, and the number of fruiting twisted tree spirits also increased to thousands.
Some of them were as high as five or six meters.
In the body mixed with plants and flesh and blood, the remains of constructs and combat puppets can be vaguely seen.
It can be seen that the bloodthirsty ancient tree's devouring of souls has allowed it to gain a lot of memories and growth.
Just as it was about to continue waiting for flesh and blood, a series of spells hit it head on.
The twisted tree spirits around were immediately blown to pieces, and dozens of them were killed directly.
This is a warning!
The bloodthirsty ancient tree turned its head and looked behind it, with a sneer on its face. It noticed the twisted tree spirits that devoured the remains of its companions, and slowly stood up.
It had already sensed the anger of the Cole elves, but it still missed them in its heart.
"What a delicious food, I must eat more in the future..."
This terrible monster staggered towards the Icewind Castle.
The El elves who had just cleaned up the battlefield had been ordered not to look at it.
The high-level professionals who were allowed to watch it also vaguely sensed the red light emitted by the bloodthirsty ancient tree, with unspeakable weirdness and distortion.
If you look closely, it seems that all eyes and souls will be absorbed, and fall into an absurd illusion again.
The high-level adventurers who saw this scene couldn't help but be alert.
In particular, they noticed that some of the El elf warriors and Cole elf captives around them suddenly went crazy.
Only then did they vaguely understand that the territory had all adventurers undergo mental and will training just to resist such a terrifying monster?
They had a vague feeling that some truth hidden in the darkness of the world was unfolding before their eyes at this moment.
Even more adventurers began to think about the Scarlet Moon that the Bay Territory had been guarding against, as well as various emergency rehearsals.
Was there really a deeper meaning?
Only Ji Fan remained calm, quickly analyzing the various situations of the bloodthirsty ancient tree, and issued various combat orders without hesitation:
"Prepare the magic artillery, the target is within 500 meters, and focus on covering the lower half."
"Prepare the dragon hunting crossbow, the target is within 300 meters, and shoot its eyes first!"
"Magic musket, target..."
"..."
The soldiers on the city wall immediately became busy.
In this situation, they forgot their fear of this monster.
The previous battle had taught them a profound truth:
"Do your job well, you can win the battle, defeat the enemy, and survive!"
I don't know whether it sensed the upcoming attack or its purpose was to do so.
When it was about 800 meters away from the city wall, the bloodthirsty ancient tree stopped.
It stared at the city wall with bloodshot eyes greedily, and could vaguely feel that there were a lot of food that it needed very much.
However, the bloodthirsty ancient tree also felt a fatal threat.
So, it did not continue to approach, but carefully controlled the twisted tree spirits to let them continue to plunder more flesh and blood.
The position below the city wall was filled with dense corpses of the Cole elves.
Under the light of the morning sun, they showed their broken appearance.
These corpses were left by the Cole elves' attack all night.
Tens of thousands of corpses will become nutrients for the growth of the bloodthirsty ancient tree.
However, the soldiers of the Gulf and the El elves would not indulge these twisted tree spirits. Under Ji Fan's command, they opened fire on these terrifying monsters very happily.
The twisted tree spirits have amazing defense. The thick leather and twisted blood-colored vine tissue can make them immune to most physical attacks.
However, when facing these terrible artillery attacks, their wooden fiber bodies are not so impressive.
After all, these twisted flesh and blood that grow temporarily are not as strong and tough as real tree spirits.
Facing the fierce bombardment of rotating shells, they often cannot withstand two or three shots, and will be directly smashed with a big hole, or even directly broken open in the chest, and forcibly blasted into two pieces.
When facing the attack of the dragon hunting crossbow, the twisted tree spirits performed even worse.
They were completely unable to defend against the armor-piercing crossbow arrows shot by the dragon hunting crossbow. After being hit instantly, they would be dragged to a position not far from the city wall.
Ji Fan, who was preparing to use them to obtain more information, was not in a hurry to kill them. Instead, he ordered each group of soldiers to conduct various experiments on them.
"See how lethal ordinary crossbows and swords are!"
"See how much damage ordinary armor-piercing crossbows can do?"
"See how long they can last under the burning of ordinary flames..."
"See how strong their attacks are..."
"..."
With a large number of twisted tree spirits being killed, it became much more difficult for the twisted tree spirits to obtain fresh flesh and blood.
Some soldiers were a little confused, why didn't the Bay Lord simply burn all the bodies of the Cole elves?
They didn't have any ideas, they just chose to obey orders.
As they gradually understood these monsters, they also thought that these twisted tree spirits only looked a little scary, and it was not a big deal if they really started to fight.
Ji Fan silently watched the twisted tree spirits, recycling and devouring the corpses of their dead companions, slowly becoming more powerful and terrifying.
"Next time you fight these monsters, be sure to burn their bodies first."
"In addition to burning the bodies, you should also give priority to disposing of the surrounding flesh and blood..."
"Try to keep a distance from them and attack with long-range means..."
"After the battle, be sure to purify and clean up!"
"..."
This kind of first-line intelligence information will be given the greatest attention.
The Gulf leader will conduct more in-depth and detailed research.
Specially targeting this type of enemy.
Develop more lethal weapons.
From the system to education, the Gulf leader is not afraid of any difficulties, and pursues more efficient problem solving rather than leaving it alone.
Any small problem, if ignored, may develop into a terrible big problem in the future.
If the problems become more and more and are not solved, they will eventually come to an end under the influence of external forces or internal strife.
Therefore, the Gulf leader is not afraid of making mistakes, but only afraid of not correcting them.
Huh!
The dull sound of breaking through the air continued to resound over the city.
Crossbow arrows of all sizes flew out regardless of cost.
Each arrow fired had its own mission and purpose.
The archers would try their best to ensure that each arrow would not miss.
Because they were not only valuable, but also had extraordinary significance in the current battle.
If the arrows could not work, they had to rely on their flesh and blood to fight against the enemy's tools.
For the combat rules of the Gulf Territory, this was the last resort and all archers had to avoid it.
This situation was completely different in Annie's eyes.
Each crossbow arrow fired represented a cost of more than 3 gold coins and a sales price of more than 10 gold coins.
It was precisely because of the large amount of gold coins that the crazy attack of the Cole elf army was curbed.
Only in a way that she could hardly imagine, in the blood-grinding stranglehold, could she persist.
From yesterday to this morning, the crossbows supported by the Bay Territory alone amounted to at least 3 million gold coins!
Enough to pile up a small gold mountain!
These are not the key points!
In order to transport these supplies, it is necessary to break the war curtain set up by the Cole Elf Kingdom and use the super teleportation array for fixed-point delivery.
Every time personnel and supplies are transported.
The Bay Territory needs to spend more and more resources and gold coins to make a fixed-point breakthrough in space.
In this Icewind Castle War alone, the Bay Territory has invested at least tens of millions of gold coins.
This does not include the rewards for the warriors and adventurers...
Matthew has not even mentioned all this to her.
But it is precisely because of this that Annie feels a very heavy pressure.
Although the wound has healed, the feeling of weakness and powerlessness still makes Annie very helpless.
She is eager to join the battle together, and she will have fewer worries in her heart.
Just when she was thinking about it, Yaya had come to her side without knowing when, with a bright smile on her face, and said very happily:
"Finally, I beat up the Cole elves. I have wanted to do this for a long time."
In Annie's impression, Yaya always hated spending money. Why was it an exception today?
As if reading Annie's doubts, Yaya gently patted the very curious Menglan in her hand, and patiently explained to her:
"Don't have too much psychological pressure. This battle is for us in the Bay to fight."
"There is a saying in the East, one punch is better than a hundred punches."
"The Cole elves have been dealing with us for so long, we can't let them live too comfortably..."
Once the Cole elves take down the El elves and complete the unification of the elf forces.
Not only can they obtain 30 to 40 million people.
Get a large piece of land and a large number of resources.
And get a large number of "soldiers" and "cannon fodder".
The Gulf Territory will lose a potential ally, a very generous customer, and a target that can attract firepower for them.
More importantly, the Cole Elves will inherit the El Elves!
Allowing them to accumulate and break through their already powerful and unique technologies.
These are unacceptable to Matthew and the Gulf Territory!
Therefore, even if it costs a certain price, the Gulf Territory must participate in this war.
Although she said so, Aini's expression still did not improve.
Even now, the El Elves did not send any reinforcements, and even did not send any messages asking about the battle situation.
Their own people have given up, but they rely on the Gulf Territory to fight bloody battles here.
Aini inevitably feels lost and sad, but when she meets Yaya's excited eyes and savors what she said, she can't help but cheer up.
That's right, there is no time to think about these things now!
The battle is not over yet, the enemy has not been eliminated, it is not the time to be sentimental!
Seeing that Annie had recovered, Yaya laughed and said impatiently:
"Besides, we have also gained something. We have even made a lot of money..."
Annie turned her head in shock and looked at Yaya's happy face with an unbelievable look on her face.
Can this make money?
Impossible!
It's not like Annie hasn't studied in the Gulf Territory. She has also been exposed to and understood the development of various new industries and products.
But because of this, Annie still hasn't thought about how the Gulf Territory made money in this battle that has consumed tens of millions of gold coins?
And judging from Yaya's expression, this is definitely not a small amount of money!
Yaya didn't hesitate and told Annie about the operations of the Gulf Territory and Matthew.
Aini, who was a little dizzy, subconsciously widened her eyes, and the original weakness disappeared without a trace, instead showing a bit of shock and excitement:
"News can also be sold for money? And it can be sold for millions of gold coins?"
Yaya nodded excitedly, counting on his fingers and counting with Aini bit by bit, and said:
"That's right, even though other Elf families and forces did not rush to Icewind Castle."
"But they have a great desire to know the situation here."
"When we sold some crystals that recorded the battle situation, they all offered high prices one by one..."
Aini, who was very angry about what those guys did, also felt very happy that the news of the Gulf General and the crystals were sold for 4 million gold coins.
"That's not all. What we sent them before was the battle situation during the day yesterday."
"If they want the specific situation of last night, the price will double..."
Ya Ya, who was quite excited, clenched her white and tender fists at Aini, showing an expression that she had already controlled them, and said with great anticipation:
"Moreover, these families and forces of the El elves are only the first batch of customers."
"There are many forces in the entire northern continent, and they must be willing to pay a few hundred thousand gold coins to understand the specific details of the matter, or even the situation of the Kor elves' army!"
"According to this calculation, selling 20 copies should not be too much at all. The price sold to them can be slightly cheaper, and they can barely give 500,000 gold coins per copy..."
Although Ya Ya's voice was a little childish.
Aini could hear the seriousness in her tone.
She immediately realized that this seemingly absurd sales plan could really be a great success.
Think about it, no matter what the relationship between those kingdoms and forces and the Kor elves is.
They all definitely want to have a deeper understanding of it!
Those who have a good relationship with the Kingdom of Kor Elf can take a look at their military combat power.
After a simple comparison.
They can think more about it.
In the next contact with the Kor Elves.
How much should they pay and how to maintain the relationship.
They can even "betray" the Gulf Lord who spread the news.
They can both show their position and show cheap loyalty.
It's really a good deal!
For hostile forces that have a bad relationship with the Cole Elves, it is even more necessary to buy a copy.
They can have a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Cole Elves' army and judge the strength comparison between the two sides, so that they can make more preparations and targeted arrangements.
This is much more cost-effective than investing in the army and fighting a life-and-death war to obtain these valuable intelligence.
"It's only a few hundred thousand gold coins, they may not be reassured!"
"We have to raise the price to at least 1 million gold coins before they can believe the authenticity of the information!"
"Besides, this general information is worth this price. If they want more detailed information, we can also do them a "favor"!"
"At that time, we must ask them to pay more!"
When Yaya saw Aini talking, she suddenly showed unspeakable joy and admiration in her eyes, as if she had found a good partner with the same interests.
Menglan in her arms widened her eyes, thinking in a daze:
"Should I ask my parents to buy a copy too? Maybe they would like to know..."
Aini's words gave Yaya a lot of inspiration.
While she wrote down this exciting plan to make a fortune, she also came up with another crazy plan.
"Ah! Selling information is just the first step to making money..."
"Just like we are fighting with the Kor elves now, we can't do it alone..."
"The families and forces of the El elves, as well as other kingdoms and organizations, will definitely want us to hold on longer!"
"When the time comes, we can go to them to sell goods, as well as the spoils seized from the Kor elves, and even the "corpses" that symbolize meritorious service..."
Aini couldn't help but take a breath.
She felt that her thinking was open enough, but she didn't expect that it was still more than one level behind Yaya.
However, she soon got new inspiration from Yaya's plan and properly "checked for loopholes and made up for them."
"This is their effective support for us to fight against the Cole elves..."
"As long as they "trade" with us, they are indirectly fighting against the Cole elves."
"It is only natural that they have a common "gain"..."
"And if they are willing to obtain more detailed information, they can also send people to Icewind Castle..."
"I guess they are willing to pay for "protection", cough, cough, "living expenses"!"
As if she saw countless gold coins waving at her, Yaya couldn't wait to put Menglan on her shoulders, nodded repeatedly and said ecstatically:
"Ah! That's not all!"
"Just watching us take action, they must be worried and unsatisfied, and they will definitely think about trying it themselves..."
"At that time, they can also send people to fight, and we can provide some guidance and training. Isn't it easy to collect some gold coins?"
"Ah! Just guidance and training may be a bit too wasteful. We can teach them how to fight the Cole elves!"
"..."
The two of them talked more and more, and became bolder and happier.
Matthew, who was listening to their conversation, also recognized their outstanding performance:
"You are really great!"
"You have learned it by yourself!"
"No, it seems that I have begun to use the name of training to let the 3rd Legion and the 8th Legion provide soldiers to help fight..."
"Good guy, it turns out that it is from me..."
Matthew thought of this, but he didn't say it. He turned his head to look at Ji Fan, who was shocked, and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"These proposals and plans are quite good. You can consider cooperating with Annie and manage Icewind Castle well..."
Yes, Matthew has made up his mind to arrange these plans directly with the help of this established fact.
These plans are quite bold and avant-garde!
But they can indeed bring a lot of benefits to the Gulf Territory, not only expanding the influence of the Gulf Territory.
Telling other forces about the situation of the Cole Elves can also increase their confidence appropriately.
It is much more profitable to make the lackeys of the Cole elves hesitate a little more and the enemies of the Cole elves more courageous than to earn hundreds of millions of gold coins.
Of course, the Gulf Lord has such a good relationship with everyone, so everyone must be embarrassed to talk about "money" with the Gulf Lord.
Just pay our Gulf Lord "pay"!
Blinking in confusion, Ji Fan nodded, and suddenly felt that he didn't understand something.
He felt ashamed in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to study hard.
After completing the combat training on weekdays, he still had to learn more about the governance and management of the camp...
Unconsciously, Ji Fan was already full of confidence in this war.
Even if there were still more than 400,000 Cole elves!
Even if the terrifying bloodthirsty ancient tree in front of him was already within reach!
"Ding, after your careful observation, you have obtained information about the extraordinary skill - flesh and blood alienation."
"You have successfully understood all the information about "Extraordinary Skill - Flesh and Blood Alienation."
"Excuse me, would you like to spend 10 million destiny power to complete the control of "Extraordinary Skill - Flesh and Blood Alienation"? "
"No!"
Rubbing his eyebrows excitedly, Matthew recalled the crazy and shocking knowledge in his mind, and silently told himself in his heart:
"There is no need to take crooked paths. Taking shortcuts will not end well. It is wasteful, slow to take effect, and there are many troubles!"
The psychological preparation he casually built for himself was the result of Matthew's recently learned "Advanced Expertise - Mind Protection".
With the help of it and this series of expertise-skills,
Matthew and the professionals can stay calm more easily and better resist all kinds of temptations and corruption.
Of course, this has always been Matthew's habit, and now it has become more efficient and outstanding.
Retracting his gaze from the evil spirit-bloodthirsty ancient tree that is constantly "growing up", Matthew couldn't help shaking his head and said:
"This is really just a chess piece thrown down by Scarlet Moon. He didn't spend too much thought and effort on it. What a pity..."
Annie didn't know what Matthew was regretting, but he knew very well that the terrible evil spirit-bloodthirsty ancient tree in front of him was not taken seriously by him at all.
Annie temporarily chose to ignore the news about Scarlet Moon.
She has also received similar training and knows that if you know too much about something that is too high in status.
It is easy to be affected and watched.
What she is thinking now is.
Why not solve this increasingly powerful evil spirit-bloodthirsty ancient tree as soon as possible?
It seems that she saw her doubts.
Yaya, who carefully recorded a lot of plans and ideas, said in an expectant tone:
"It's too weak now!"
"Wait for it to grow up and give the Cole elves more confidence."
"Then, snuff them out together!"
Seeing Yaya's fist gesture.
Aini saw in a trance that the powerful and "smart" Yaya was watching the crazy behavior of the Cole elves insidiously.
She seemed to have anticipated this scene a long time ago.
Aini, who was completely relieved, walked towards the wounded camp without hesitation.
She must receive recovery training as soon as possible and then return to the battlefield quickly.
Only in this way can she say "no" to those idiots with more confidence!
Of course, Aini also felt that she had to learn more.
Learn more knowledge and learn more skills.
The days ahead are destined to be full of hardships.
However, Aini has always thought clearly.
She can already do everything she wants.
Next, she will no longer owe the family or the entire Aiel elves!
She wants to bring more El elves with her so that she can live better!
The bloodthirsty ancient tree is getting bigger and bigger, and it is swallowing more and more corpses of Kor elves.
The twisted tree spirits born from it have also expanded to more than 3,000.
Looking at these monsters that were raging like locusts, many Cole elf warriors couldn't help but have deep doubts in their minds:
"Do we have to rely on them for the next battle?"
"If we die in the battle, will our bodies also become food for this disgusting monster?"
"It may not be certain, but there is a great possibility that it will happen."
"This monster grows too fast. It has broken through to the legendary level in the blink of an eye. Can we really control it?"
"Control? Anyway, I don't think so. This ghost thing is too dangerous. We must get rid of it as soon as possible!"
"Just waiting for it to break through the walls of Icewind Castle. Now none of our orders work..."
"We have so many warriors, why do we have to rely on this ghost thing to fight?"
"I always feel something is wrong. Will this monster..."
"Definitely not. The higher-ups must have their own considerations..."
"Hehe, you have seen it before. The higher-ups acted on their own and caused the entire ship to be destroyed and people to die..."
No matter how puzzled the Cole elf warriors were in their hearts.
But the fact is now.
Their army was watching and preparing for the battle, but the one who was actually fighting was a monster.
This scene was a bit absurd, and Yaya, who took the picture, couldn't help but smile brightly.
"This shot alone should be able to sell for 100,000 gold coins!"
A little money-grubber thought so!
"Roar...!"
The bloodthirsty ancient tree let out a long, crazy roar.
As it devoured more and more corpses of Cole elves, the red light on its body became more and more dazzling and crazy.
Even the wisdom that was sometimes in its eyes seemed a little dull at this moment.
It was almost completely controlled by the bloody power hidden in the corpses.
Its entire body turned blood red.
Under the sunlight, a little bit of burning smoke came out.
This terrifying monster has completed its mission.
Became the real carrier of the twisted will of the Scarlet Moon!
"The carrier of the consciousness of the Scarlet Moon!"
"Fortunately it is not a monster like the incarnation!"
Matthew looked at the extremely tragic fate of the bloodthirsty ancient tree and didn't find it strange at all.
For a high-level unit like the Bloody Moon.
They never do meaningless things!
If they want to do it, they will definitely do their best!
Don't believe any coincidences about them!
Like this crazy evil spirit in front of you, it is clearly just a chess piece thrown down by the other party.
Now, the bloodthirsty ancient tree in front of them has changed from a chess piece to a terrifying chess player.
Matthew and Yaya finally waited for this opportunity!
This means that after killing this terrifying monster.
Matthew and Yaya will be able to gain more!
It won't be in vain!
This is the purpose of their "waiting".
Otherwise, the corpses of the Cole elves are also of extraordinary value.
Although they are not as useful as the corpses of the Japanese, they definitely have a lot of "sins" hidden in them, and are definitely excellent bait.
Why should we let this disgusting bloodthirsty ancient tree cause trouble?
"Roar...!"
Along with the terrifying roar, there were waves of twisted and terrifying wills!
Many people who were greatly affected by the meteorite impact just now immediately had a bloody moonlight in their minds.
But when their attention was involuntarily drawn to their gaze.
A bloody moon with a terrifying face was laughing at them.
"Ah... So... Beautiful!!"
A seriously injured Cole Elf warrior roared in a somewhat crazy voice.
The surrounding Cole elves reacted immediately and tried to prepare to pour him a purification potion.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Her twisted wounds had already grown terrifying tentacles and fleshy blood threads.
It was mutating!
The painful Cole Elf warrior shouted and chopped off its head.
The head fell to the ground, and there was still a happy smile on its face, but the cracked mouth had already opened to the back of the ears!
Crazy roars one after another appeared in the Cole Elf camp!
Pollution has already begun!
