Chapter 109 Crossing the River
It is obvious that the elves are despised as green-skinned elves by the orcs. The elves' skin is not naturally green, but milky white like milk. Their delicate skin is simply unparalleled, as if they will shine. The reason why they are called green is probably more because the clothes worn by the elves are often woven by fibers produced by plants, which has a little green feeling.
Just like now, the elves have entered the jungle, and they can still clearly distinguish them from the environment.
Maggie was in the woods, looking at the north shore a few kilometers away. She and her friends were druid apprentices responsible for controlling war plants. Before the war, they were temporarily recruited to participate in this Northern Expedition, and were under the protection of the elves of the Knights. They advanced to the shore of the jungle, making the final preparations for the army before crossing the river.
While silently thinking about the steps to be carried out in her mind for a while, she sorted out various things in her battle package: one, plant seeds; two, holy water; three, magic wand... Well, it seems that all the items are completely missing. Maggie proudly repacked her battle package.
The captain of Maggie, the team leader, walked up the jungle on the river bank and asked the team members one by one:
"Are you ready?"
“It’s ready.”
“It’s ready.”
...
The team members answered one after another.
The captain asked about their team's preparations and then passed the information back. After a while, all the bridge teams on the entire river bank had been prepared, and they were silent and waiting for the last moment.
At this moment, Maggie was nervous. Somehow, she suddenly remembered her parents. Although such a thing was so incredible for an elf who was educated by the public at a young age, she just thought so at this moment, and she missed the warm and peaceful smell.
She looked at the water surface under the red tree branches a few meters away, and a circle of bubbles emerged there. She knew that there might be one or more river dogs hidden there (a reptile beast similar to a croaker, who likes to prey at the mouth of the river). Before this war, they might have smelled the smell of war and lurked under the water, looking forward to a feast.
At this moment, she thought of her **, her home in the Song of Hao Dixiu...
However, Maggie's chaotic thoughts could not stop the war. After a few breaths, as the signals from the elves of the sky in the sky lit up from the sky behind, the sky in the day suddenly darkened, and a dazzling brightness exploded in the sky! The huge thunder woke the elves from the haze!
She looked up at the beautiful scenery in the sky, and the seeds of the messenger tree cried in the last whine in the sky! It indicates the sign of death! Then, the earth under her feet began to rumble and vibrate, like an earthquake and volcano eruption. Countless magic plants behind her roared and began to gush into the sky. She knew that the war had begun...
...
On another open space as close as possible to the river bank, tall grenade trees grew densely. This group of grenade trees was as tall as thirty or forty meters tall, which was completely different from the mangroves growing on the surrounding river bank. At first glance, they did not look like trees at all.
The grenade tree is the main war magic plant of the elves. It is one of the most heavy magic war plants for the elves. After hundreds of years of adaptation and evolution by the druids, this super-heavy grenade tree has long disappeared from the appearance of a tree. It has no crown, branches and leaves, and all of it is only a tall and straight trunk.
If Zhang Quan was here, he would find that the shape of this grenade tree was extremely close to the large-caliber artillery on the earth. The thick tree trunk that was dozens of meters long in the factory was like the cannon barrel, with an angle of about forty degrees to the ground, pointing obliquely to the opposite bank of the Kampra River. Under the trunk are thick roots that are deeply rooted in dozens of meters underground. This thick root system is like a retractor when the grenade tree is fired, which can support the recoil of the grenade tree.
The most strange thing is that the grenade fruit of this grenade tree actually bears on the root system of the tree roots.
Since it is a magical plant, it relies entirely on the magical and technical means of the elves to stimulate growth, this grenade tree has lost the functions of most plants such as photosynthesis and has a very short lifespan.
The grenade tree here now took half a month to ignite the first druids to grow on the spot. It is the latest variety in the grenade tree. It has the largest tree shape and the farthest range. Its grenade fruit is also the latest burst grenade prepared by the crazy druids in recent years, and it is extremely powerful.
The gun barrel of the grenade tree pierced straight towards the end of the sky. Its inclination angle was the growth direction that the druids had been using holy water and spells since they were born, just like a sunflower chasing the sunlight. It was difficult to adjust significantly after growing. Therefore, after a grenade tree grew, the shooting distance and landing point were basically fixed. The elves were placed on the top of the canopy of the tree trunk and were ready to fire. Once the war started, the biologically active fibers in the entire trunk burst out, and a powerful biochemical reaction gushed out a huge airflow to push the grenade fruit to a high altitude, falling to the area where the attack had been planned in advance.
Generally, after a battle, the grenade fruit tree loses all its biological activity, and the only thing waiting for them is death. Almost all magical plants are disposable creatures and do not have sustainable growth. The divine spells and active breeding techniques have squeezed out all biological activities of this type of plant, allowing them to burst out in a short time and emit a momentary light.
At some point, the druids felt that everything had been adjusted, the growth of the grenade tree had reached its highest peak, and the temple priests began to appear. They placed the wand lined with magic cores at the huge rhizome of the grenade tree and began to pray...
"God of God - Strong!" The dazzling light flowed from the hands of the priests to the cannon barrel, and a light green light shrouded in it.
"God of God - Growth!" Under the magical radiance, the bark eyes on the cannon tube grew and expanded rapidly at an unimaginable speed, growing to the maximum, swelling the entire branch almost into a spindle shape, like a hungry pregnant woman. Only a layer of magical radiance firmly blocked this energy so that it would not be vented.
Then,
"Divine Grace Art - Release!"
With a bang, the thick stems of the entire grenade tree suddenly contracted. The strong technique firmly bound the branches, the huge airflow at the top of the cannon tube scattered, spewing out a flowing light and flame-like effect. The grenade fruit flew away in the blink of an eye, turned into a meteor, crossed the river surface, and flew towards the opposite bank of the river.
In an instant, the elves' grenade trees cluster began to explode at the same time. Thousands of grenade trees suppressed the other side of the river. Countless grenade fruits rushed out of the woods, densely covering the sky above the river surface. Then, they fell like bees. In an instant, the river water and banks across the river were like boiling in a hot pot, and dense explosion shock waves immediately covered half of the river surface.
The fruits of the burst grenade fruit begin to react internally after leaving the body, but usually take a while to explode. This period of time is exactly the time for them to fly through the air. When they land, most of them explode. This new burst grenade fruit no longer only provides physical killing mode before, but is filled with viscous bioburning agent. Once it explodes, it will immediately start to set off fire.
Although this grenade tree is the farthest-range grenade tree species, most of the fruits still have difficulty reaching the opposite side. But even so, this terrifying firepower has completely suppressed the enemy, causing the orcs in the jungle to retreat in a hurry and have to stay away from the river bank.
The fire soared into the sky, and the pungent smell of grenade fruits dominated the sky above the river, raging the jungle on the north shore and the defending orcs in the jungle.
...
"Quick! Quick! Start building a bridge!" Maggie's squad leader jumped up and ran away like the shore. Behind them was a large group of flying heavy and light air riders mixed with mixed legions.
Maggie followed her companions and ran to the shore in panic. She watched several heavy air riders flew clumsily to the river surface and threw a huge tree with soil and rhizomes hanging below into the water. As soon as the bridge trees fell to the bottom of the water, they immediately spread their roots and grew hard. After a while, the canopy appeared from the water.
Then a group of light air riders swarmed over, and the elves of the air knight fell lightly on the canopy, tied ropes to the canopy, and then flew up, connecting the ropes back and forth into ropes connected together.
The members of Maggie's team took the rope thrown by the air cavalry and immediately tied it up on the shore. Maggie quickly took out the vine seeds collected in her package, first dripped a few drops of holy water, then took out her wand and murmured and began to spell, and immediately began to induce it. The prayer's grace came down, and the activity of the holy water penetrated into every cell of the seed. After a while, the vines began to grow like a flexible animal that suddenly woke up, struggling to stretch out branches in all directions. Maggie quickly placed the vine on the rope, and the vine immediately wrapped around the rope, winding and stretching step by step along the rope on the river surface, one vine after another quickly wrapped around it, and soon the originally thin rope on the river surface became thick and strong!
Grenade trees grew from the bottom of the river, arranged into a line-like bridge piers, extending towards the opposite bank of the river, while vines grew hard, connecting the bridge piers together. The huge ropes became thicker and wider. Gradually, the rope bridges had grown into shape, forming a long rope bridge enough to support the weight of the elves. The light elves rushed to the rope bridge and began to cumbersomely strengthen the bridge deck and the piers. Several rope bridges were connected horizontally to form a wider bridge deck.
It took only two or three hours. Under the cover of the fire bombing of the north bank by the grenade tree cluster, a huge rope bridge running through the river for more than ten miles had been formed, pointing directly opposite the river bank. The rope bridge was strong and wide enough to allow the heaviest magic war plant transport vehicle to pass through it.
