Volume 1 Village Story Chapter 150 Trap
In the distance, two figures, one black and one white, were rapidly approaching. Behind them, I discovered that not only had all the remaining priests given chase, but even the enemy's wolf cavalry was charging over.
Ivan rushed to my side, panting slightly, and patted me on the shoulder, saying: "Their Red Bishop was killed by me, I solved your biggest trouble for you, and also took out a few high-ranking priests, not many are left, am I awesome?"
I spat and said, "What are you talking about? A few priests were easy to deal with, but how do I handle this whole cavalry of wolf riders? You didn't help me get rid of a big trouble, you got me into an even bigger one, okay?"
Evan poked his head out and smiled wryly, "This is beyond my expectation. Anyway, I've done what we discussed, the rest is up to you now. I'll take off first."
I gazed at Evan's back and rolled my eyes, this guy, every time it's the same, he finishes his part and leaves me to clean up the mess, I really regret befriending him.
As they spoke, the wolf cavalry had already rushed to the edge of the forest. The first knight waved his hand, and all the beastmen dismounted from the wolf cavalry, holding long knives that shone with cold light as they entered the forest on foot. Meanwhile, the remaining priests continued to cast blessing spells on everyone, and white rays of light kept flashing on the bodies of the beastman knights.
The knights, who had been forced to line up in a row, cautiously entered the forest. The pitfall trap was triggered by me, and the front row of beastmen were instantly swallowed into the muddy swamp-like ground, without even having time to let out a miserable cry. Then, the mud that looked like paste quickly returned to its original hardness after swallowing the knights, and the buried knights would be squeezed to death by the enormous pressure around them. This could be seen in the beastmen who had only been buried halfway, with their internal organs and blood being squeezed out of their mouths due to the immense pressure. After struggling for a while, these fierce and powerful knights fell limp on the ground, devoid of any breath. In front of them, only a puddle of blood and filth remained.
The knights behind were shocked at the scene and their advancing footsteps suddenly became hesitant. The leading beastman shouted loudly in his native language, which I couldn't quite understand, but the general meaning was clear - urging his subordinates to continue advancing.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after a while, the wolf cavalry lined up again in parallel and advanced towards the forest, even the priests followed the beastman leader into the forest.
I quietly retreated a distance, estimating the position of the front row of beastmen, and activated all the firewall traps. Row after row of firewalls suddenly burst into the sky, and the beastmen who were running too fast were quickly burned by the sudden appearance of the firewalls. The flames on their bodies blazed up, and the burned beastmen rolled around on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Their companions nearby also frantically beat at the flames, but when the flames gradually went out on their bodies, they found that their companions had already been burned to death.
The firewall technique blocked their footsteps, but it also successfully enraged these powerful orcs. From the moment they entered the forest, not a single enemy was seen, yet more and more companions fell to magical traps, leaving the warlike orcs feeling at a loss, with no place to vent their strength. Many of them let out angry roars towards the sky, and some even continuously hacked at the branches in front of them with their long knives to release their pent-up anger.
At this moment, Evan came back and asked me, "Where are the traps? I'll lead them there."
I was startled by his sudden appearance, gave him a white eye, pointed to the center of the woods with my hand and said: "Over there, lure them over, at least half will die, and I have another trick up my sleeve."
Evan flashed a white-toothed smile at me and said, "Then you wait here for me, I'll lead them away."
As soon as the voice fell, Evan disappeared in front of me. In a short while, I saw a white-robed priest cry out and fall to the ground in the distance. The several beastmen near him didn't even have time to react. When these people came back to their senses, another beastman wolf rider had already covered his neck and fallen down. These people only then clearly saw the enemy, loudly raised their long knives and attacked, but the murderer was as cunning as a mud eel, dodging around in the knife light, and couldn't be hit.
His actions successfully enraged the beastmen, and more and more of them joined in the pursuit. The black figure suddenly flashed past, dodging two long knives that were chopping towards him, and sprinted wildly towards the center of the forest. His movements attracted nearly half of the beastmen to chase after him. After reaching the center of the forest, the black figure blew a sharp whistle in my direction, the sound was piercing and ear-piercing, I think even if I was asleep I would have been able to hear it.
This was the signal Evan gave me, I raised my hand to trigger the magic trap, and the trap was triggered instantly. Flame Burst, Ice Spike Rain, and Earth Spike almost occurred at the same time. The enemies who chased after us were almost killed without being able to react.
And at the same time as the trap was triggered, Evan had already returned to my side once again.
He hadn't even caught his breath when he hastily said, "Are there any other tricks up your sleeve? Use them quickly! There are still many beastmen left. If we can't take them down, it's basically going to be us who get taken down!"
I looked at the group of beastmen gathered together, and indeed, there were quite a few of them. Judging from their appearance, those who could escape from so many traps weren't just extremely lucky guys, but also seasoned veterans with rich experience.
"Hurry up, Freya, it's all yours!"
Those originally quiet trees suddenly moved, and the huge branches kept hitting those enemies. On the ground, countless vines suddenly emerged, some entwining each other, while others attacked the beastmen in the forest. Many beastmen were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and many were even tied up by the vines and couldn't move. The entwined vines grew more and more numerous, gradually surrounding the beastman wolf cavalry and the remaining pastors in an airtight cage.
I waved my wand lightly, a string of fireballs flew out and hit the vines. Suddenly, a huge flame burst into the sky. I pulled Even's hand and shouted loudly: "Run! It's going to explode!"
When we had run about a dozen meters away, a loud explosion sounded from the woods, and the burning vines exploded, knocking us to the ground with a massive shockwave. When we came to, crawling up from the ground, we found that the middle of the woods had turned into a clearing and scorched earth, nothing left behind.
Evan stared blankly at everything in front of him, muttering: "What have you done?... I was going to assassinate, but you were massacring here..."
I said with embarrassment: "I compressed your fire oil a bit... then had Freya make a vine cage, concentrated those enemies, and detonated it. I didn't expect the power to be so great, almost taking us down with it..."
