Chapter 74
Mira, who lived with the black oak tree, emerged from Joan's side. Perhaps feeling the anger of his symbiotic plants, or realizing that the forest he lives in is being destroyed by ogres, the little dryad lost his usual shyness on his face, and bravely joined the battle, casting spells to help "Xiao Hei" beat back Ogre bandits.
After all, Joan was just a country boy, and had never participated in a real war before today. Considering his limited age and experience, the scenes of the bloody fight between the ogres and the activated trees in front of him were too exciting, and trembling with fright was a natural physiological reaction. However, when he saw that even Mila, who is usually the most timid, stepped forward and tried her best to fight against the vicious ogre gangsters, a strong sense of shame welled up in his heart, and he was unwilling to just hide in the tree as a pawn. A cowardly spectator.
It just so happened that an ogre chain fighter was slapped off the back of the dinosaur by "Xiao Hei". , lying on his back among the vines, unable to get up for a while. Joan didn't miss this good opportunity to beat the dog in the water. He used the "Hand of the High Mage" to approach the ogre with a remote control dagger, and stabbed him in the throat.
puff! The sharp dagger pierced into the thick neck of the ogre, and blood gushed like a fountain. The ogre's eyes widened suddenly, and until the moment he died, he didn't understand where the dagger that pierced his throat out of thin air came from.
Joan endured the fear and maintained his focus on casting spells. He pulled out the dagger from the "Hand of the Higher Mage" by remote control, and wiped off the blood on the ogre's corpse on the spot, so as not to be too conspicuous, and then looked for the next target. Joan is by no means lacking in self-knowledge. A thin mage like him can't even hold up a punch from an ogre. Going down to confront it head-on is purely courting death. The only way to fight for him is to hide in a tree and assassinate with a remote control dagger Unsuspecting opponents. It is indeed a bit despicable to do so, but how can an ogre be a kind person? Joan feels that his approach can at least be called "fighting poison with fire".
The little tree spirit Mira noticed that Joan was looking for an assassination target, so she whispered in his ear in the wood language.
During these days in Powhatan Village, Joan spent a lot of time listening to the chats of Mira, Kandy, Xiao Hei, and Lao Bai. He already had some understanding of the wood language words used by elves and tree people, and he could barely hear them. Understand Mira's intention - it seems to help him control the enemy, so that it is convenient for him to assassinate.
The little tree spirit didn't care whether Joan understood her intentions or not, and chanted the spell casting spell on her own, pointing at the area where the ogres gathered. The magic manifested itself as a mass of milky white mist erupting in the center of the crowd. All the ogres who inhaled the mist couldn't help but yawned, and finally couldn't resist the tidal wave of tiredness, and fell to the ground in a mess, and fell asleep, snoring one after another. Echoing in the woods, it interweaves with the sounds of killing and percussion from all around to form a set of strange chords.
Joan recognized that Mira had just cast the third-level spell "Deep Sleep". Creatures affected by this spell would have a strong drowsiness. If the willpower is not strong enough, they will fall into a coma immediately regardless of time and occasion. Creatures like ogres are typical "well-developed limbs and simple minds". They are most afraid of this kind of "confusion control" spells, and it is normal for a large area to be knocked down by the third-level "deep sleep".
If a sleeping creature is attacked, it will wake up under the stimulation of pain. There is only one chance to take advantage of the fire, and if the ogre cannot kill the opponent with one blow, the awakened ogre is likely to roar and wake up other sleeping companions.
Xiaoshu Jingmila has very little strength and is not good at using weapons such as swords. Even if she was given a knife, she would not be sure to hit the sleeping ogre, so after casting the spell, she threw it to Qiao An for help. eyes. Qiao An nodded understandingly, and used his thoughts to remotely control the dagger to fly towards the sleeping ogres on the ground. The sharp blade dragged the cold light and wiped the ogres' necks one by one. The villains are all killed in their sleep.
...
Mira and Qiao An cooperated tacitly. One cast a spell to hypnotize the ogres, and the other a remote-controlled dagger to make up the knife to harvest the heads. In just a few minutes, they jointly killed no fewer than ten ogres. Joan was about to kill, but Mira told him bad news: she could only release 3 "deep sleep" a day, and she had just used up all of them. "Entanglement" can be used at will, but the strong ogre can tear off the vines that entangle hands and feet with brute force, and it is difficult for Joan to find a good opportunity to assassinate.
The battle continued until now, and Shrek also realized that his own casualties were too heavy. If he continued to fight like this, he would pay more losses, and it would be even more difficult to break through the defense line composed of activated plants. The nickname "King of Wisdom" is not for nothing, Shrek has already used his brains to think of countermeasures while the other ogres are still reckless. After pondering, he had an idea, and ordered the messenger to blow the horn in the rhythm of three shorts and one long.
In order to facilitate the mobilization of troops on the chaotic battlefield, Shrek worked out a series of specific military order signals with the assistance of Casio. The different frequencies corresponding to different tactical orders were played by the bugle. Officers at all levels must keep these signals in mind. Immediately execute the corresponding military order after hearing it. It is not easy for simple-minded ogres to memorize these complicated military orders. Fortunately, there are always a few smarter ones among thousands of idiots. "Responsible to ensure that Shrek's orders are carried out.
The ogres who were fighting fiercely with the Asa defenders near the city gate heard three short and one long horns in the distance, and a group of troops reacted immediately, followed the pre-established military order to leave the battle area, and rushed to The direction from which the horn came.
The army Shrek summoned urgently consisted of thirty particularly tall and strong ogres and three times as many goblins. The ogre wears a full set of armor and holds a big club. Each carries a huge iron barrel on his back. Inside the barrel, three dwarf goblins stand. Using the barrel wall as a parapet, they throw alchemy bombs invented by the dwarves to attack enemies in the distance. If the enemy approaches and poses a threat to the goblins in the barrel, these cowardly guys will squat down and shrink into the barrel, and hand over the offender to the "bearer" holding a big stick.
Shrek summoned this special force called "Ogre Bearers" to his side, ordered the "bearers" to march forward in line, and the goblin hiding in the iron bucket threw infusions at the activated plants that blocked the "bearers". The alchemy bomb of "Blazing Glue".
When the bomb hit the tree, the ceramic shell shattered immediately, and the viscous blazing glue splashed out, and the paste burned violently on the tree, billowing thick smoke into the sky.
