Chapter 797 Dead Branch Monster

"This is indeed a great opportunity. We can make full use of the information gap and evacuate those who support us first. If the Shadow Union and the Skeleton Gang want to die, let them stay here and serve as cannon fodder to fight against the enemy. If all the people who support them in Usmer City die, even if their leadership escapes, they will not be able to gain a foothold here. We can still get the greatest support from General Gavin."

"Brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. He has many tricks. In a blink of an eye, he turned something that was not good for us into something that was good for us."

"This is called taking advantage of the situation, don't you understand!"

"I don't understand, and I don't need to understand. Brother just needs Just tell me what I should do. "

"You are still as brainless as ever."

"A snake only needs one head. If it grows too many, it will easily fight with itself. This is why we have been brothers for thirty years."

"You just said you have no brains, and now you are giving me such profound knowledge."

"Haha... This is not what I said, but what my brother said after drinking. I will do the brainwork, and I and Ferrican will do the hands-on work."

"Brother, just wait for our good news!"

The three leaders of the Sword Brotherhood are not brainless people. In a short period of time, they have formulated a series of plans that are beneficial to their Sword Brotherhood.

As they get in touch with Gavin more and understand more, they feel the gap between the two sides more and more. The two are not equal opponents. If they make trouble secretly, there will be only one result, just like the mantis blocking the rut, it will be crushed to pieces.

There is only one way to avoid this result, take the opportunity to jump on this car, follow him, and grow stronger with the rich food harvested along the way.

Judging from his past experience, although he is not a lawful good paladin, he is at least lawful neutral. When he eats meat, he doesn't mind those who are willing to follow him to drink a mouthful of soup.

The other party did not use his own direct forces before, but chose to ask those Leathermen for help and fight with them, which was to give them enough opportunities to reflect.

After adjusting the countermeasures, they suddenly found that everything was clear and some decisions became extremely easy to make.

The Sword Brotherhood once again showed its efficiency. The city of Usmer, shrouded in thick fog, suddenly became chaotic. There were the sounds of the gang members driving away, the shouts of the citizens' dissatisfaction, and even the sounds of fighting.

The Sword Brotherhood is only the most powerful gang in Usmer City, not the only one, otherwise they would not be a gang, but a ruler.

If the other two union gangs are separated, none of them is the opponent of the Sword Brotherhood, but if they unite, they can compete with it.

They scoffed at the Sword Brotherhood's statement and didn't believe it at all. They just thought it was an excuse for the Sword Brotherhood, a traitor, to collude with Gavin, an outsider, to wipe them out and take sole control of the city of Usmael.

This naturally gave the Sword Brotherhood an opportunity. Because of intelligence reasons, they were invincible in this game.

If the other two gangs bowed their heads and obeyed the arrangements of the Sword Brotherhood now, it would be difficult for them to have a chance to turn things around in the future.

But if they didn't obey the Sword Brotherhood, when Gavin's plan began to be implemented, they would easily be involved in the war if they stayed in Usmael.

As for Gavin, he didn't care about the Sword Brotherhood's little calculations at all. A complete and unified Usmael was exactly what he needed.

The three leaders of the Sword Brotherhood didn't know that it was not that they chose Gavin, but that Gavin chose them from the beginning.

Gavin had already learned about the situation of several gangs in Usmael before.

Although the Sword Brotherhood acts in an overbearing manner and has high taxes in Usmael, the industries involved are relatively decent, mainly trade, fishing and dock loading and unloading. Their contribution to Usmael is far greater than what they take.

The other two guilds are different. The Shadow Guild is a thieves' guild, mainly composed of thieves. They control many dark industries in Usmael, such as hotels, casinos, and amusement halls. They also do a lot of side jobs such as kidnapping, extortion, blackmail and slave trafficking.

The Skeleton Gang is more of a secret organization. It is said that there is a connection with the Witch King Zhengyi of Damara. They are mainly engaged in death-related industries, such as stealing and selling corpses, such as assassination, corpse preservation and summoning undead. The corpses they sell may not necessarily die normally, but may be made by them.

The latter two are normal and stable cities that need to be eradicated. How could Gavin cooperate with them?

Therefore, he took advantage of the Sword Brotherhood's small plan and let them take the opportunity to retaliate against the two enemies.

Burning the city with fire was only the first half of the plan. The second half was to destroy it and then rebuild it. Only when the city was destroyed thoroughly enough would he have a greater chance to intervene.

As for himself, he was busy attacking and killing the Tukan Eagle Knights who harassed the city of Usmer.

These two days, he swallowed his anger and allowed the Tukan Eagle Knights to show off their power here, not only to play a long game to catch big fish, but also to collect their intelligence and action patterns.

It must be said that these Tukan Eagle Knights are unique in air combat and are very professional. No wonder Sel'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 special advanced profession. They will strengthen part of their magic power on their prairie giant eagle mounts.

The life dice, attributes, expertise and size of these prairie giant eagles will grow with the growth of these Tukan Eagle Knights, among which speed is their top priority.

This leads to the fact that these Tukan Eagle Knights, with knights, can fly faster and more flexibly than ordinary prairie giant eagles.

Except for those true dragons and a few special beings, there are not many large flying creatures that can match them.

Without using natural sprint, the speed advantage of the half-moon colt is not great in front of them.

The most important thing is that these Tukan Eagle Knights are proficient in air skirmish tactics, and an air flying team is kept at a scale of thirty riders.

With three people as a unit, they form a large circle in the air and keep a distance of two to three arrows from each other, which allows them to be immune to large-scale attack magic and support each other.

Let Gavin's range attack three axes be greatly weakened.

Strong men never complain about unfavorable conditions. In this case, Gavin decisively adjusted his tactics and used the cloud and fog tactics to fight blindly.

The moment when the white fog rose and the revenge storm descended was also the moment when Gavin attacked.

Gavin first used the demon's true name and the devil's true name to summon the dog demon and the six-armed snake demon. Both of them have excellent air combat capabilities. The former has the ability of flying spells, and the latter matches the corresponding magic props.

However, the flying speed provided by the flying spell is 12 kilometers per hour. There is no such thing as running and sprinting. Naturally, it is impossible to catch up with the Tukan Eagle Knight who can reach a speed of more than 150 kilometers.

The flying spell mainly provides them with the ability to stay in the air. They mainly rely on short-distance teleportation to attack the enemy by surprise.

If the weather is clear, this tactic is difficult to take effect, because the reason why short-distance teleportation is called short-distance is that the teleportation distance is too short, only less than 100 meters.

But under the cover of the fog, they have a place to use their skills, especially with the revenge storm as an insider to provide them with accurate positioning of the enemy, then it is really a sure thing.

Whether it is a dog demon or a six-armed snake demon, a full set of combined attacks, even if it cannot kill a Tukan Eagle Knight, is enough to knock them down from the air. Once they fall to the ground, they are like a phoenix that has fallen to the ground, and they can't even catch up with a chicken, and they will be knocked down in minutes.

"This is a trap, this is a trap, evacuate quickly."

"There is a dog demon here...ah...be careful of their teleportation."

"There is a six-armed snake demon here..."

"The enemy's arrows are poisonous and have a strong paralysis effect."

"Mind spells, one of the enemies is proficient in mind spells!"

"There is something wrong with this cloud, they can launch lightning attacks!"

The Tukan Eagle Knight screamed in despair, and every time he reminded his teammates, he paid the price of his life.

This made those well-trained Tukan Eagle Knights a little panicked, because they had no way to detect the location of the enemy, but the enemy could find them accurately.

Except for the teammates around them, they had no idea about the situation of other teammates, so they could only fly around like headless flies, and they didn't even dare to shoot arrows easily, because if they were not careful, they would hit their companions.

"Fly up, fly up, the coverage of this magic cloud is relatively limited, it is impossible to cover too high."

Soon, a Tukan Eagle Knight discovered the loophole in the enemy's plan and climbed up to the sky desperately.

Sure enough, it took less than 20 seconds for them to break through the white fog.

The weather controlled by magic can never restore the real weather changes 100%, at least in terms of coverage. When considering the coverage area, it is difficult to take into account the height, even with the assistance of the elemental revenge storm.

The white fog covering the city of Usmer is only four or five hundred meters high. Because it is formed by magic, it is clearly divided.

Below is the thick fog that is pitch black, and above is the clear sky without clouds.

With lingering fear, these Tukan Eagle Knights frantically pulled up to ensure that they were at least one arrow away from the white fog. Only then did they have time to look at the surrounding situation. They were horrified to find that their number had dropped by two-thirds, leaving only nine riders. From the attack to the escape, it was definitely no more than a minute.

"What happened just now?"

"How many enemies attacked us?"

"I saw 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 we can't see anyone?"

"What should we do now?"

"Retreat, retreat, pass on the intelligence here. The enemy has a good air defense capability, and we can't let other warriors be fooled."

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

These Tukan Eagle Knights exchanged information while flying towards the direction of Lesel Forest.

They were now frightened birds, and they didn't dare to stay here for a moment, for fear that a huge flying army would rush out of the white fog.

Because their vision 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 fog and killing them all, so they let them run away.

"Why not chase them? In three more rounds, we can kill them all." The six-armed snake demon that stopped at the edge of the white fog swung the snake-shaped strange sword with some dissatisfaction.

As a demon, she has an endless desire for killing.

"If they are all killed, who will help the lord pass the message?" The dog demon grinned and explained, "The war is imminent, and the lord will definitely not have time to waste with these scouts. I believe that after this lesson, they will not dare to easily divide their troops to harass."

"Shut up, I'm talking to the lord, how can a dog interrupt." The six-armed snake demon glared at him, both because of the other party's sabotage and out of instinctive hatred for the devil.

"If you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities next time, so you should be ready." Gavin didn't have time to listen to a devil and a demon grinding their teeth. He sent them all back before the time to summon them arrived. He still had a lot of preparations to do.

After the white fog rose, it never dissipated from Usmael City. For the withered army that was advancing mightily, the target was obscured by the fog of war again, and they were no longer clear about their situation.

However, the withered army showed no signs of stagnation. Instead, it rushed towards Usmael City at a faster speed, because they had enough military advantage and were confident that they could crush this small city in one fell swoop.

The entire withered army showed a huge arc and rushed out of the Lesser Forest.

However, before them, a large number of beasts rushed out.

Forest tigers, forest leopards, elks, wild boars, hares, goats, sheep, bison, wild horses, etc., and even humanoids were mixed in.

Whether it was carnivores or herbivores, they were all mixed together, with no intention of hurting each other.

At this moment, they have a common identity, prey.

The withered army is not picky about food, all creatures can become food in the mouth of the magic tree, and become the power of corrupting the forest.

Following closely behind the herd of beasts, there is a group of activated plants that are not much bigger than hunting dogs. They have human-like bodies, but compared with flesh and blood bodies, they are more like skeletons with no flesh and blood. Their waists are very slender, but their limbs are thick and long, with wooden claws. Whether it is joints, spines, or heads, they are covered with thorns.

Their joints are extremely flexible and can rotate 360 ​​degrees, so they do not have a clear distinction between front and back, or even up and down. They can walk upright like humans, or run on all fours like animals, but when they get close to their prey, they will start another forward mode-jumping and spinning.

Just like tumbleweeds, they spin forward.

But their open claws make them very lethal, and they will tear wherever they roll.

Although they are not big in size, they are very powerful. They can easily tear the hides of most wild animals and make them bleed.

The captured beasts wailed in despair, and many began to stagger and their running speed dropped sharply.

The claws of this activated plant called the dead branch monster contain paralysis toxins. Although it cannot directly poison the prey to death, it can greatly weaken their strength, making them even less able to resist and escape from their pursuit.

The dead branch monsters following closely rushed up, jumped up, spread their limbs, and all deeply nailed into the body of the prey.

No matter how the prey ran, swung, and rolled, the dead branch monsters that had been nailed to them were rooted and firmly nailed to their bodies.

This is not a metaphor, but a real situation.

When the wooden claws of these dead branch monsters pierce the skin of these beasts and penetrate into the flesh and blood tissue, a large number of hairy roots will grow out after seeing the blood, greedily absorbing and devouring the blood in the bodies of these prey.

This monster was born from the withering power of the ancient evil tree Gantias, which corrupted the forest and the small thorny bushes. The ancient evil tree was born by absorbing the soul essence of the ancient vampire, so all the withered ones born from it will inherit the bloodthirstiness of the vampire.

Soon, the body of this prey was full of rooted dead branch monsters. That situation was very similar to the situation of hunting ants biting their prey tightly, but now it was magnified countless times.

Even a strong bull, when there are as many as seven or eight dead branch monsters attached to it, can't help but fall to the ground.

The large amount of blood loss and the infusion of a large amount of paralysis toxins made him extremely weak, and he could only lie on the ground in despair and wait for death.

But before these dead branch monsters could enjoy their prey, a rumbling sound of footsteps was heard.

A group of purple demon tree people with thick arms and legs rushed forward. They were like a group of bullies. They grabbed the dead branch monsters rooted on the prey, tore them off the prey alive, and threw them far away with a flick of their hands.

Aw! Aw! Aw!

Those large prey like bison and wild horses were usually not dead at this time, and they couldn't help but let out a painful and desperate weak howl.

The dead branch monsters had taken deep root in their flesh and blood. When they were violently pulled out, large pieces of bloody flesh left their bodies, leaving behind deep holes of blood and flesh. By the time all the dead branch monsters were pulled out of their bodies, they were basically dead.
