"This is indeed an excellent opportunity. We can make full use of the information gap and prioritize the removal of those who support us. If the people from the Shadow Union and the Skeleton Gang want to die, let them stay here and act as a counterattack. They are cannon fodder against the enemy. If all the people who support them in Uxmail City die, even if their leadership escapes, they will not be able to gain a foothold here. We can still get the maximum from General Gavin. support."
"Big brother is indeed a big brother. He has many evil ideas and can turn a thing that is not good for us into something good for us in the blink of an eye."
"This is called taking advantage of the situation, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, and I don't need to understand. Brother just needs to tell me what to do."
"You're still as clueless as ever."
"A snake only needs one head. If it grows too much, it will easily start a fight with itself. This is why we have been brothers for thirty years."
"You just said that you have no brains, and then you turn around and give me such profound knowledge."
"Haha...this is not what I said, but what the elder brother said when he was drunk. For the things that use your brain, big brother will do it. For the physical things, Felican and I will do it."
"Brother, just wait for our good news!"
The three leaders of the Sword and Thorn Brotherhood are not the kind of brainless people. In a short period of time, they have formulated a series of plans that are beneficial to their Sword and Thorn Brotherhood.
The more they came into contact with Gavin and the more they learned about him, the more they felt the gap between the two. The two were no longer equal opponents. If they tried to stumble in secret, there would only be one, and it would be like being stuck in a rut. Like the mantis in front, it was crushed to pieces.
There is only one way to avoid this outcome, take the opportunity to jump on this car, follow him forward, and use the rich food harvested along the way to grow and prosper.
Judging from the other party's past experience, although he is not a lawful and good paladin, at least he is biased towards lawful neutrality. When he eats meat, he does not mind those who are willing to follow his footsteps to take a sip of soup.
The other party did not use his own direct force before, but chose to ask those Leathermen for help and fight with them to give them enough opportunity to reflect.
After adjusting their strategies, they suddenly found that everything suddenly became clearer and some decisions became extremely easy to make.
The Sword Thorn Brotherhood once again demonstrated its efficiency. The city of Uxmail shrouded in thick fog suddenly became agitated. There were the sounds of gang members driving away, the dissatisfied shouts of the citizens, and even Mixed with the sound of fighting.
The Sword Thorn Brotherhood is only the most powerful gang in Uxmail City, not the only one. Otherwise, they would not be a gang, but the rulers.
If the other two union gangs were separated, neither one would be a match for the Sword Thorn Brotherhood, but if they were united, they would be able to compete with them.
They sneered at the Sword Thorn Brotherhood's statement and did not believe it at all. They only regarded it as an excuse for the Sword Thorn Brotherhood, the traitor, to collude with Gavin, an outsider, to annihilate them and take sole control of Uxmail City.
This naturally gave the Sword Thorn Brotherhood a chance. Due to intelligence reasons, they were in an invincible position in this round.
If the other two gangs bow their heads now and obey the Sword Brotherhood's arrangements, it will be difficult for them to stand up again in the future.
But if they disobey the Sword Thorn Brotherhood and wait until Gavin's plan is implemented, they will easily be involved in the war if they stay in Uxmail City.
As for Gavin, he didn't care about the Sword Brotherhood's calculations at all. A complete and unified Uxmail City was exactly what he needed.
The three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood did not know that they did not choose Gavin, but Gavin chose them from the beginning.
Gavin had already known about the situation of several gangs in Uxmail City before this.
Although the Sword and Thorn Brotherhood acts in a domineering manner in Usmail City and taxes are very high, the industries involved are still relatively decent, mainly trade, fishing, and dock loading and unloading. Their contribution to Usmail City is far greater. To request.
The other two union gangs are different. The Shadow Union is a thieves union, mainly thieves. They control many dark industries such as hotels, casinos, and joy halls in Usmail City, kidnapping, extortion, extortion, and trafficking. They also do side jobs such as slavery.
The Skeleton Gang is more of a secret organization. It is said that they are connected to the Witch King Zhengyi of Damara. They are mainly engaged in death-related industries, such as stealing and selling corpses, such as assassinations, embalming and summoning the undead. They sell The corpse may not necessarily be a normal death, it is very likely that they made it.
The latter two are targets of eradication in a normal and stable city, so how could Gavin possibly cooperate with them?
Therefore, he took advantage of the Sword Assassin Brotherhood's little plan and allowed them to take the opportunity to retaliate against their two old enemies.
Burning the city with fire is only the first half of the plan. The second half is to destroy and then build up. Only when the destruction is clean enough, the city will have a greater chance for him to intervene.
As for himself, he was busy attacking and killing the Tukan Eagle Knights who were harassing the city of Usmail.
In the past two days, he had swallowed his anger and allowed the Tukan Eagle Knights to show off their power here, not only to catch big fish in the long run, but also to collect their intelligence and action patterns.
It has to be said that these Tukan Eagle Knights are unique in air combat and are very professional. No wonder Serge's Griffin Corps was defeated in front of them.
The Tukan Eagle Knights, like the Purple Dragon Knights of the Kingdom of Cormyr, have turned it into a specialized advanced profession. They will strengthen part of their magic power on their steppe giant eagle mounts.
The life dice, attributes, expertise, abilities, and size of these steppe giant eagles will all grow with the growth of these Tukan Eagle Knights, with speed being their top priority.
This causes these Tukan Eagle Knights to fly faster and more nimbly than ordinary steppe giant eagles with knights.
Except for those true dragons and a very few special beings, there are not many large flying creatures that can compare with them.
Without using natural sprint, Ban Yue Ju's speed advantage was really not that big in front of them.
The most important thing is that these Tukan Eagle Knights are proficient in aerial skirmishing tactics. An aerial flying team maintains a size of thirty riders.
Three people form a unit to form a large circle in the air, keeping two to three arrows away from each other. This allows them to not only be protected from large-scale attack magic, but also to support each other.
Let Gavin's range hit the three-axe, and its power will be greatly weakened.
A strong person never complains about conditions that are unfavorable to him. In this case, Gavin decisively adjusted his tactics and used cloud and mist tactics to fight blindly.
The moment when the white mist rises and the vengeful storm descends, it is also the moment when Gavin attacks.
Gavin first used the devil's true name and the devil's true name to summon the dog demon and the six-armed snake demon. Both of them have good aerial combat capabilities. The former has the ability to fly and the latter has the corresponding magic ability. props.
However, the flight speed provided by the flying technique is 12 kilometers per hour. There is no such thing as fast running and sprinting. Naturally, it is impossible to catch up with the Tukan Eagle Knight who can reach speeds of more than 150 kilometers per hour.
Flying mainly provides them with the ability to stay in the air. They mainly rely on short-distance teleportation capabilities to catch their enemies by surprise.
If the weather is sunny, it is difficult for this tactic to be effective, because the reason why short-distance transmission is called short-distance is that the transmission distance is too short, less than a hundred meters.
But under the cover of the heavy fog, they have a place to use, especially with Revenge Storm as an internal agent to provide them with precise positioning of the enemy, it is really accurate to catch them.
Whether it is a dog demon or a six-armed snake demon, a full set of attacks, even if it cannot kill a Tukan Eagle Knight, is enough to knock them out of the air. Once they fall to the ground, they will be like phoenixes on the ground. If you can't even keep up with a chicken, it will be overturned in a minute.
"This is a trap, this is a trap, get out quickly."
"There is a dog demon here...ah...be careful with their teleportation."
"There is a six-armed snake demon here..."
"The enemy's arrows are poisonous and have a powerful paralyzing effect."
"Psychic spells, one of the enemies is proficient in psychic spells!"
"There's something wrong with this cloud and mist, they can launch lightning attacks!"
The Tukan Eagle Knight screamed in despair. Every time he reminded his teammates, he paid for it with his life.
This made the well-trained Tukan Eagle Knights a little panicked, because they had no way of detecting the enemy's location, but the enemy could find them accurately.
Except for their teammates around them, they have no idea about the status of other teammates. They can only fly around like headless flies. They don't even dare to shoot arrows easily, because if they are not careful, they will hit their teammates.
"Fly upward, fly upward. The coverage range of this magical cloud is relatively limited, and it is impossible to cover it too high."
Soon the Tukan Eagle Knights discovered the loophole in the enemy's plan and desperately climbed high into the sky.
Sure enough, in less than twenty seconds, they broke through the white mist.
After all, there is no way to 100% restore the real weather changes with weather controlled by magic, at least in terms of coverage area. When considering the coverage area, it is difficult to take the height into consideration, even with the assistance of the elemental revenge storm. .
The white mist that shrouded the city of Uxmail was only four to five hundred meters high. Because it was caused by magic, it was clearly distinguishable.
Below is a thick fog that makes you invisible, while above is a cloudless clear sky.
With lingering fears, these Tukan Eagle Knights frantically pulled up to ensure that they were at least one arrow away from the white mist. Only then did they have time to look at their surroundings. They were horrified to find that their number had dropped by one-third. Second, there were only a handful of Nine Cavalry left, and the time from being attacked to escaping took absolutely no more than a minute.
"What exactly happened just now?"
"How many enemies are attacking us?"
"I saw the figure of a dog demon."
"I saw it too."
"What I saw was a six-armed snake demon."
"What I saw was a Pegasus knight with four arms."
"How can we fight this battle if no one can see it?"
"What do we do now?"
"Retreat, retreat, pass the information here back. The enemy has good air defense capabilities, so other warriors cannot be fooled."
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
These Tukan Eagle Knights exchanged information while flying towards the direction of Leisier Forest.
They were frightened now and did not dare to stay here for a moment, lest a huge flying army would rush out of the white mist.
Because their sight was blocked, they had no idea how many enemies were attacking them, and the enemies had no intention of chasing them out of the white mist and killing them all, allowing them to flee far away.
"Why don't you chase them? In three more rounds, we can kill them all." The six-armed snake demon stopped at the edge of the white mist and shook the snake-shaped strange-shaped sword with some dissatisfaction.
As a demon, she has an insatiable thirst for killing.
"If we kill them all, who will help the lord deliver the message?" The dog demon grinned and explained, "The war is coming, and the lord will definitely not have time to spend with these scouts. I believe that after this lesson, they will I don’t dare to divide our troops and harass them easily.”
"Noisy, I am talking to the lord, there is no place for a dog to interrupt." The six-armed snake demon glared coldly, not only because of the other party's trouble, but also out of his instinctive hatred of the devil.
"If you want to fight, there will be opportunities next, so be prepared." Gavin didn't have time to listen to one devil and another devil grinding their teeth. He sent them all back before the time came to summon them. He also There is a lot of preparation work to be done.
After the white fog rose, it no longer dissipated from the city of Uxmail. For the withered army that was advancing mightily, the target was obscured by the fog of war, and their situation was no longer clear.
However, the withered army showed no signs of stagnating. Instead, it charged towards the city of Usmer at a faster speed, because they had sufficient strength advantages and were confident of crushing this small city in one fell swoop.
The entire withered army formed a huge arc and came out of the Lesile Forest.
But what rushed out before them was a huge herd of beasts.
Forest tigers, forest leopards, elk, wild boars, hares, goats, sheep, bison, wild horses, etc., and even humanoid creatures are mixed in among them.
Both carnivores and herbivores are all mixed together, with no intention of harming each other.
At this moment, they share a common identity, prey.
The blighted army is unrestrained, and all creatures can become food in the mouth of the demon tree and become the force that corrupts the forest.
What rushed out immediately behind the herd was a group of activated plants that were not much bigger than hunting dogs. They had humanoid bodies, but compared to flesh and blood bodies, they looked more like skeletons with all their flesh and blood gone, and their waists were very slender. , but the limbs are thick and long, with wooden claws, and the joints, back, and head are all covered with thorns.
Their joints are extremely flexible and can rotate 360 degrees. Therefore, they have no clear distinction between front and back, or even up and down. They can walk upright like humans, or they can stand on all fours like animals. Run, but once they get close to their prey, they initiate another forward mode - a jumping spin.
Like a tumbleweed, spinning forward.
But their open claws make them very lethal, and they will tear wherever they roll.
Although they are small in size, they are very powerful. They can easily tear open the hides of most beasts and scratch them until they are dripping with blood.
The captured beasts let out desperate whines, and many began to stagger, and their running speed dropped sharply.
The claws of this activated plant called the deadwood monster contain paralyzing toxins. Although it cannot directly poison the prey, it can greatly weaken their power, making them even less able to resist and escape from their pursuit. .
The dead branch monsters following closely behind surged up, jumped up, spread their limbs wide, and dug deeply into the prey's body.
No matter how wildly the prey ran, swung, and rolled, the dead branch monster that had been nailed to their bodies was firmly nailed to their bodies like roots.
This is not a metaphor, but a reality.
When the wooden claws of these dead branch monsters pierce the skin of these beasts and penetrate deep into the flesh and blood tissue, when they see the blood, a large number of downy roots will sprout out, greedily absorbing and devouring the blood in the bodies of these prey. .
This monster was born from the decay of small thorn bushes when the ancient evil tree Gantias corrupted the forest. The ancient evil tree was born by absorbing the soul essence of the ancient vampire. Therefore, because of its birth The blighted ones will all inherit the bloodthirstiness of vampires.
Soon, the prey's body was covered with rooted dead branch monsters. The situation was like a hunting ant colony biting its prey, but now it was magnified countless times.
Even a strong bull fell to the ground involuntarily when there were as many as seven or eight dead branch monsters attached to it.
The massive blood loss and the infusion of a large amount of paralyzing toxins weakened him to the extreme, and he could only lie on the ground in despair, waiting to die.
But before these dead branch monsters could enjoy their prey, a huge rumble of footsteps sounded.
A group of purple magic tree people with thick arms and legs swarmed up. They were like a group of bullies. They grabbed the dead branch monsters rooted in the prey and tore them alive from the prey. With a wave of their hands, Just throw them far away.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Large prey such as bison and wild horses are usually not completely dead at this time, and they can't help but let out feeble howls of pain and despair.
Those dead branch monsters have been deeply rooted in their flesh and blood. When they are violently pulled out, large swaths of bloody flesh and blood leave their bodies together, leaving deep and bloody holes. When all the dead branches are When the monster was pulled out of them, it was basically dead.
