Chapter 59 Son of Iron: The Betrayal of Humanity by Shepherds and Animals (Please follow up)

In the dark night, from the heights of the castle, Ivita and the others could see three nearby villages that were engulfed by tongues of fire.

And further away, there are still some flames that burn to the point where they seem to be connected to the sky.

Ivita understood that it was the children of the forest who were burning the ground.

And if the children of the forest succeed in their plan, then this scene tonight will happen everywhere in Ambrose.

When the sky gradually whitens and the sun rises, those flames are still burning and emitting billowing black smoke.

At the same time, the children of the forest finally launched their first attack.

The first was a volley from the centaur troops, which was aimed at the piranha flowers.

More than two thousand centaurs fired a volley, which really blocked the sky. The arrows fell like raindrops, hitting the old witch's magic.

On the city wall, the old witch stayed up all night, keeping her eyes wide open as she watched the troops of the Children of the Forest warily.

At this moment, she laughed loudly, and her sharp voice woke up some sleepy peasant soldiers. "The magic of piranha cannot be broken with arrows."

"a ha ha ha……"

"Only the weapons of the Iron Sons can harm my Piranha."

Ivita asked strangely: "What is the Son of Iron?"

The Great Witch of Hearthstone said: "The Forbidden Book says that when humans first entered Ambrose with iron weapons, the children of the forest called humans the Children of Iron."

"Only with iron tools can I break my magic."

I saw the first round of arrow rain falling on the ogre flowers. The moment those arrows landed on the piranha flowers, the wooden part of the arrow shaft seemed to come alive and turned into a bending plant.

Then it merged with the piranha flowers.

After this kind of wooden pole is fused with the piranha, half of it is submerged in the stems and leaves of the piranha, and the other half is exposed outside the stems and leaves of the piranha.

The integration of Piranha with it obviously takes time.

But I won’t give this time at all.

Because the second round of arrow rain is coming.

Under the second round of arrow rain, more than half of the Man-Eating Flowers that were still in the fusion stage were unable to resist and were shot directly.

Then came the third round of arrow rain, and the remaining half of the piranhas were almost wiped out.

After three rounds of arrows, the magic carefully arranged by the Great Witch of Hearthstone was broken.

The demon hunter Black Wolf crossed his chest and said, "You seem to have forgotten that the weapons of those children of the forest were stolen from humans, and the heads of those arrows are made of pig iron."

The old witch looked ugly, but she still retorted unconvinced: "Then they also wasted more than six thousand arrows just to deal with my magic."

"This quantity is three times our arrow reserve."

Hei Lang was speechless. "It only consumed about sixty gold pounds of the other party's supplies. I can guarantee that they still have more supplies. This is between mountains, and their supplies are probably transported through the mountains."

Ivita stopped them from arguing. "They're coming to attack the city."

Fortunately, a half-finished gully was dug out last night.

The digging is generally not very deep, just over one meter deep and two meters wide.

But it can already prevent the cavalry from coming and going freely under the city.

The first ones to attack the city were the Minotaur warriors. Under the command of the snake girls playing panpipes, these Minotaur warriors roared with all their strength and pressed towards the city wall step by step.

Some of them actually dug soil with their hands to fill in the trenches dug by humans yesterday.

The old witch was silent when she saw it. "The commander who commands the Sons of the Forest's troops is really treacherous! I like honest people!"

"The physical fitness of these tauren far exceeds that of adult humans. I have to say that in this aspect, the physical fitness of these children of the forest is indeed much better than that of humans."

Ivita didn't care about this. The reason why humans can defeat the children of the forest has never been based on physical superiority.

In war, personal bravery is no longer the most important thing.

Tactics, systems, inheritance, beliefs, and economy are what determine the direction of war.

What he cares about is that the opponent does not have any siege equipment. How does he want to attack the city?

If it were a normal human army, if it wanted to attack a city, it would definitely need ladders, shields, trebuchets, etc.

However, the Children of the Forest do not seem to be good at using the combined tactics of engineering technology and military power.

How should those silly tauren and centaur troops attack the city?

The next moment, the other person gave Ivita the answer.

Some snake girls exude astonishing power that can even distort the air around them. Some of them are trainee priests and some are formal priests.

Under their snake tails are ceremonial patterns of sheep heads drawn with human blood. On the ceremonial patterns, the blood of children of the forest and human flesh are also placed.

That is the priestly ritual of the priests.

It's just that the object of the sacrifice is not the ancient soul of the tree spirit of the tree spirit, but... the ancient soul of farming and animal husbandry!

The bodies of the snake girls grew bigger one by one, like miniature giants.

The apprentice priest became three meters tall.

Official priests are a full five meters tall.

They stood out among the army, and the tauren and centaurs looked like thin dwarfs beside them.

The snake girls played the panpipes, and the sound was magical. After hearing it, people couldn't help but want to go with them.

Many animals began to appear among the mountains, gathering below the city wall.

There are tigers, wild boars, black bears, hunting dogs, forest wolves, and even sheep and cattle that escaped from the countryside.

Knight Griffin trotted over quickly, bowed his head to Ivita and said, "Sir, the horses in the castle started to go crazy when they heard the sound of the flute, and wanted to rush out of the stables."

"Our horses may not be available for the time being."

"This means we have no more cavalry."

The old witch opened the taboo book. "It's the priests of God Pan who are causing trouble. The priests of God Pan are called [shepherds]. He can give believers the ability to guide animals."

"In the age of the children of the forest, as long as the god Pan sang a song, the animals could cheer and walk with him. It is even said that even the trees and rivers would dance in response to Pan's songs."

"In the days when humans and the Children of the Forest were still friends, Pan often led the way for humans and the Children of the Forest who were lost in the forest."

"Among the ancient souls that the children of the forest believe in, God Pan is definitely the most special ancient soul besides the giant redwood tree god. The Taboo Book says that even our ancestors suspected that God Pan was not a son of the forest, nor was he a native

Ancient soul, because his earliest footprints are in the territory of ancient civilizations."

The old witch realized later and said: "By the way, the most famous thing in ancient civilizations was the temple. But recently the temple has been inactive for a long time, and everyone has almost forgotten them."

Iveta turned around and saw the animals gathered by Xiao Sheng, rushing towards a certain part of the city wall as if they were committing suicide.

Bodies piled up.

Iveta immediately understood that the other party wanted the troops of the Children of the Forest to climb onto the city wall by stepping on the piled animal carcasses!

This is the answer given to him by the children of the forest.

A siege method that can only be used by the children of the forest.

Ivita said: "If the horses are temporarily unusable, we can't use them. Anyway, we can just defend the castle and there is no need for cavalry. If those horses are really disobedient and out of control, we can simply kill them for meat."

"Prepare the trebuchet and smash it down."

The human city wall has also begun to fight back.

There are also ten trebuchets in the warehouse in Moro Castle. The Children of the Forest were not interested in such things, so they kept them.

If they can learn to use iron-tipped bows and arrows, they are already learning from human civilization.

And things like trebuchets are too in-depth for them.

The militiamen put the gravel into the counterweighted trebuchet on the city wall, and then flipped the switch to let the trebuchet throw the stones.

Stones fell into the Minotaur troops, killing and injuring many Minotaurs.

The troops of the Children of the Forest actually lack professional paths other than the priest path.

Far away from the castle, the ancient soul of a farmer and herder opened his sleepy eyes. "Humans, feel the anger from the forest and animals. You have occupied this land for too long, and there are no animals anywhere in your eyes."
