Chapter 1590: Chapter 796: Useful Pitfalls (Part 2)
In just a few minutes, the entire beast herd split in two.
So jumped over the trap pits, reaching the other side.
Others fell into the pits, wailing in agony and despair.
The withering branch monsters, following closely behind the beasts, didn’t even think, leaping straight into the pits.
These bloodthirsty awakened plants are not very intelligent, comparable to beasts.
And seeing the blood of the injured beasts that fell into the traps, they were provoked to reckless abandon, jumping down after them.
In an instant, the scene in the pit was like hell.
Everywhere were the injured beasts, everywhere were those withering branch monsters rooting in the beasts, greedily extracting blood.
In the narrow trap pit, even the uninjured beasts had no room for evasion, soon being pursued by those withering branch monsters, pinned to the ground, becoming new sustenance.
Here, natural ethics were completely overturned.
Plants, originally at the bottom of the food chain, beca the most terrifying hunters, with both herbivores and carnivores becoming their prey.
The numbers of these withering branch monsters were so great that they soon filled the entire trap pit area, leaving the subsequent ones no place to stand.
They imdiately set their sights on the beasts that jumped over the trap pits, climbing up the pit walls quickly by using the rooted bodies of their companions.
The fine, hair-like roots sprouting from their hands and feet could firmly grip the cracks on the pit walls, giving them a spider-like ability to climb.
Soon, so withering branch monsters crossed the trap pit area, attacking the beasts that had been pacified by the Druids into the army of Usr.
Only this ti, these beasts didn’t just flee in panic; instead, they counterattacked with all their might, through slaps, bites, bashes, and kicks.
But the damage they inflicted was quite limited, only sending a few of the withering branch monsters back into the pit by chance, while most clung like ants, gripping the beasts tightly, taking the opportunity to rake, climb, and root on them.
Ultimately, they were just a group of untrained beasts, and even under the command of the Druids, they couldn’t break through their own limitations to gain strong combat capability.
“Light the fire, all archers switch to flaming arrows, target fifty ters out, cover shooting.”
A thodical commanding voice rang out from the city walls.
“Release!”
With the uniform command, countless bowstrings vibrated simultaneously, and a rain of fire rose from the city walls, covering the army of withering branch monsters.
Faced with the dense barrage of flaming arrows, these bloodthirsty awakened plants finally showed fear, many instinctively evading.
Weakness to fire is a trait of all awakened plants, and the withering branch monsters are no exception; once ignited, it’s difficult for them to put out the flas with their own abilities.
But faced with the dense flaming arrow rain, where to hide made no difference, in such circumstances, luck beca more significant.
As long as one wasn’t unlucky enough to be hit by multiple arrow shots, a few weren’t enough to kill the withering branch monsters or ignite them.
The withering branch monsters appear like dry branches but are essentially living wood full of moisture, and once truly dried, it’s the mont of death.
Boom!
The withering branch monsters weren’t ignited, but the trap pit was, and the flas swiftly spread from ignition points, turning the trap pit area into a huge fiery pit in just half a minute.
Flas behaved like a ferocious and greedy monster, voraciously consuming everything, indifferent to virtue or vice.
If the previous trap pit resembled hell.
Then now, the fiery pit beca an undeniable human-world purgatory.
The withering branch monsters could no longer root, climbing up the walls swiftly one by one.
Most silently succumbed as they climbed, tumbling down, becoming new fuel for the flas.
Only a very few could barely climb out, yet they turned into fireballs, running while burning.
Not only did beasts retreat upon seeing them, even the withering branch monsters kept a distance.
“Oil! There’s a lot of oil in the trap pit, haha, this move is brilliant!”
“The Commander is truly the God’s Chosen of Lady Strategy, calculating everything thoroughly, not only using the pits to trap beasts and prevent them from breaching the walls but also using them as bait to lure the withering branch monsters to jump in voluntarily, then igniting them.”
“A pity we lack a sturdy heavy-armored infantry unit; if they were upfront instead of beasts, standing firm against the withering branch monsters’ attack for a while, attracting more of them over, the damage upon ignition would be greater.”
“Be satisfied; just by relying on a single trap pit, tens of thousands of enemies were trapped and killed. There’s no better deal than this.”
“Monsters are just that, no matter how many, they’re still mindless creatures, dreaming of conquering our city.”
“The Commander is overly cautious. Just following this tactic, regardless of how many monsters, there’s no way to break through our city defenses, so why make the civilians evacuate?”
“Don’t let the small victory before your eyes blind you; these withering branch monsters are just vanguard fodder, the main force of this army hasn’t arrived yet, the real challenge is yet to co, and the sa trick can only work once. Next ti, they won’t be so easily tricked.”
