Chapter 73 The Angry Ancient Tree

The Ogre King responded with a storm of arrows.

Magny picked up the enchanted battle ax "Giant Slayer" and rode on a steed from the heavens. He told the ogre lord in a firm tone on behalf of all the people: "The noble Algonians will never bow their knees to robbers!"

The young druids of the green field followed around Magni, and they all chanted prayers without fear, transforming the natural divine power into flames and thunder and blasting at the ogre lord.

"Stubborn humans, you are killing yourself!"

Shrek cursed and raised the tower shield to block left and right. His mythic power has been exhausted, and he is a bit embarrassed to bear the siege of many Asa people full of anger. Fortunately, the ogre warriors followed up in time, and the kings who followed them rushed into the city gate one after another, helping Shrek relieve the pressure in time.

Casio was the first to come to Shrek's side. The court poet rode a snow-white steed, and used the lute made of cold iron as a shield in his hand to block flying arrows from all directions.

"My lord! Don't get entangled with the enemy here. The most important thing right now is to find Ilmin Sur!"

Casio's words reminded Shrek, nodded his head solemnly, and said to the poet beside him: "I will lead the dragoons to continue to charge forward, and I will give you the command of the infantry warriors. Try to delay the enemy and buy me time!" After the confession, Shrek took the bronze horn from Casio and blew the charge horn himself.

Shrek's warrior regiment included a "heavy cavalry company" of elite warriors wearing elaborate breastplates and carrying ten-foot barbed chains. The mounts of these "ogre chain fighters" are not ordinary war horses, but a group of "pachycephalosaurs" with complete saddles. This kind of ornithischian dinosaur is very common in the deep forest valley area. It feeds on leaves and fruits. Its mouth resembles a bird's beak and walks upright on its strong hind legs. Take a long-distance attack with a fully armed ogre.

The "pachycephalic dragon" domesticated by this group of ogres lived up to its name. Its forehead was covered with a hard and thick bone plate, like a raised helmet. Driven by the riders, it buried its head and rushed towards the Asa tribe on the opposite side. The hard forehead of the group of dragons was like a "battering ram", knocking the roadblockers to their knees in an instant, breaking through the defensive positions abruptly, and rushing forward following the giant armored bear riding on King Shrek.

The Asa warriors, commanded by Magni, held up their spears and tried to stab the running dinosaur. The ogre warrior riding on the back of the swollen-headed dragon swung the spiked iron chain like a howling and raging steel whirlwind, swinging away the spears stabbed on both sides, and slammed the Asa militiamen who were holding the spears away. Broken leather armor mixed with blood splashed all over the sky.

Seeing that the ogre cavalry was about to break through his defense line, Magny urged his horse to charge forward, intending to personally intercept the ogre lord. Inadvertently saw a familiar figure flashing beside him, and called out his sister's name without thinking.

Conti looked back at his elder brother from the back of the Deinonychus, and argued loudly before Magny got angry: "The leader of the ogre rushed towards the ash forest, Joan is still in the forest, I have to find him quickly! "

"Little girl, you'd better take care of yourself first!" Magni shouted angrily.

At the same time as the brothers and sisters had a short conversation, Casio, who was opposite him, was not idle, and started playing the lute on the battlefield. The music played by the bard contains the mysterious magic power to influence the emotions of the audience. The same melody falls into the ears of ogres and humans, and it exerts completely different effects respectively.

After listening to Casio's performance, the ogres screamed with excitement, their eyes were bloodshot and they fell into a state of rage, and their fighting power increased a lot. But to the Asa people on the opposite side, the music played by Casio was simply harsh noise, which made them feel distracted and difficult to concentrate. This music has the greatest impact on spellcasters. It is difficult for green field druids to maintain a state of concentration under the interference of this piercing magic sound. A little distraction will lead to spellcasting failure.

The ebb and flow of the situation caused the Asa defenders to fight hard. Magni had to leave most of his troops to resist the ogre infantry, and only brought a cavalry company to chase Shrek's troops. My younger sister is also helpless, so I can only comfort myself to think of the best - it is better for my younger sister to come here than to run around on the battlefield, at least I can take care of her nearby.

Shrek led the ogre cavalry to break through the defense line near the city gate, and then encountered no more obstacles worth mentioning. They drove straight into the ash forest, and searched for the direction that "Soul Stealer" Chanikui had passed through the "Wind Speed" before. , It didn't take long to find an open area in front of the woods.

In the center of the clearing stood a large tree with luxuriant branches, which glowed golden in the afternoon sun. Shrek felt the mythical power emanating from the huge ash tree, and immediately guessed that it was the target of his trip—the descendant of the "World Tree" and the sacred tree "Irminsur" of the Algonquin tribe!

"Ilminthul, the place where the 'Fountain of Wisdom' is buried, Shrek has finally found it!" The ogre lord cheered excitedly.

At the same time, the ancient holy tree seemed to sense the malice from the ogre lord, and woke up from its deep sleep. An old and majestic face appeared in the center of the trunk, and looked at the group of ogre cavalry opposite with deep eyes.

"Hoohoo...fat robber with a big mouth! You shouldn't have broken into my woods, let alone woke up an old man from his sleep."

The displeased words of the ancient tree echoed in the air, and a fence made of thorns suddenly rose outside the forest glade, isolating Shrek and his subordinates.

The ogre cavalry swung the spiked chains in an attempt to destroy the wall of thorns, but the elastic thorns bounced back with redoubled force after being pulled down, like countless thorny whips retaliated against the offender, and the chain fighter was lifted off the back of the dinosaur. Sweeping down, screaming and falling into the thornbush. The more the ogre trapped in the thornbush struggled, the more wounds it stabbed on its body, bloody and bloody.

Under the protection of the thorn wall, Irmin Sur calmly chanted the divine spell prayer, and the luminous branches touched the surrounding trees, and the low bushes were activated into "scramble monsters", dragging the branches and rushing towards the ogre, throwing the The panicked bandit ripped the dinosaur off its back and clung to it. The tall trees are infused with more powerful divine power and transformed into a wise "tree man". The giant feet formed by pulling out the twisted roots approach the intruder. The ogre flew one by one, and fell with a black nose and a swollen face, dizzy.

Shrek tried to regroup and charge, but all his mounts, including his armored bear, became disobedient and refused to attack Ilminsur. After a brief astonishment, Shrek realized that the ancient sacred tree on the opposite side had a special ability similar to that of a druid. It could use spiritual power to communicate with wild beasts, forcing the giant bear and the dinosaur to remain neutral in this battle, refusing to use violence as an excuse. Their masters serve.

Most of the treants awakened by Irminsur's spell were only given vitality temporarily, and after the spell ended, they would take root on the spot and turn back into a big tree. The only exception was the black oak tree. The "Little Black" who moved here from Delin Town is a real intelligent plant. It can become a treant by itself without the infusion of magic power from Irmin Sur. It is of course the leader of many activated plants. The "Green Guard" formed with the "Tree Man" launched a fierce and ruthless counterattack against the invaders.

...

Joan experienced too many accidents during this long day. The "mythical creature" sensed at first has not yet been found, but suddenly I heard the alarm bell ringing at the entrance of the village, and the sound of killing came from a distance, as if an enemy was attacking.

Joan stood up from the tree, leaned on the branch and looked in the direction of the alarm bell. Looking over the city wall, he saw many figures rushing out of the northern forest, but he couldn't see the specific image of the attacker. It is related to the cultists operating near the village. He was hesitating whether to go down the tree to participate in the battle to guard the village, "Tears of God" suddenly issued a warning, reminding him that another mythical creature was approaching rapidly, and the mythological level was one level higher than the one sensed before.

This sudden change prompted Joan to decide to stay on the tree to observe the situation, and he was still wondering what happened today. The mythical creatures that are usually rare to see came to the door collectively as if by appointment? Of course, he is eager to seize this gifted opportunity to hunt mythical creatures and complete the first-order mythical trial. However, he also knows that his strength is low, and he may not be able to compete head-on with the upcoming mythical creatures. He can only hide in the trees and look for opportunities.

Thinking of this, Joan shrank back into the depths of the canopy, held his breath, and stared nervously at the direction indicated by the mythological induction. It didn't take long before he saw a group of ogres riding dinosaurs rushing into the woods. Wearing a golden helmet and holding a big stick, riding a giant bear in armor, his sturdy body is like an iron tower, it is the second-order mythical creature detected by "Tears of God". Seeing the other party for the first time, Joan was convinced that it was the "King Shrek" that Magny had mentioned, the ogre lord of Deep Forest Valley.

Joan looked at the mace that the mythical ogre was carrying with one hand, and couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat. The big stick of King Shrek alone is thicker than his waist, and he can smash his whole body to pieces with just a random swing of the stick. The most important thing right now is not how to hunt and kill that powerful mythical ogre, Instead, trying to save his own life surrounded by hordes of ogres!

Just when Qiao An was thinking hard about how to escape, unexpected changes came one after another. First, "Lao Bai" woke up and created a "Wall of Thorns" to stop the army of ogres, and then cast a spell to activate the surrounding trees to launch a counterattack against the gangsters on the opposite side.

This series of unexpected events made Joan feel overwhelmed, until the black oak tree he was hiding in rose from the ground, and strode towards the ogre in the form of a tree man. The sudden vibration under his feet almost threw Joan off the tree, and he quickly recovered and hugged a branch tightly, and was forced to accompany the tree man "Xiao Hei" into the battlefield.
