Chapter 112 Still fresh in the memory
From the king cursed by evil, his beloved father, to his kingdom, subjects, and even enemies, all of this passed through Prince Xiyoude's mind. His gradually blurry vision finally saw two giants and a burly and handsome man on the shoulders of a female giant. "Kill them! Kill all these things that are in the way." Although there were only three people on his side, Lin Yu did not hesitate to charge at the legion. The Ents are real sixth-order magical creatures. In terms of rank, they are second only to a few sacred beasts and fantasy beasts such as dragons and phoenixes. Whether it is the ability of melee combat or the attainments in natural magic, the tree people are outstanding.
The two little treemen following Lin Yu, although "only" five meters tall, can only be regarded as tiny among the treemen, naturally, their melee ability is far inferior to those of the adult tree herders who are more than ten meters tall. But Treebeard, no, Elder Treemother did not fool Lin Yu, the savior of the treemen and the lifelong honorary elder of Fangorn Forest. Although the two little treemen she sent were indeed "not very good" in melee combat, it was not a problem to deal with one or two "trolls", which were the super giant orcs that appeared in the original movie, the ace main force of the orc army. As for dealing with other strong orcs, the five-meter-tall tree herders casually pulled up one or two dead trees and swept them randomly, beating them, just like an adult holding a stick to teach a naughty kid a lesson, it was a complete farce.
What these two little tree men are really good at is forest magic based on the themes of "nature" and "life".
Trees are scarce here, and the magic of summoning "Wild Treemen", which the Ents are best at, is difficult to perform. However, the "entanglement spell" that they perform by madly promoting the growth of the roots of the bushes buried underground is quite interesting.
The orcs and barbarian warriors were running wildly when they were tripped by the roots of grass and vines. They lost their balance and fell to the ground in a panic. Then, countless vines and roots covered with thorns emerged from the ground, first binding them tightly, and then the sharp thorns pierced their skin, greedily sucking their flesh and blood... However, this is not a fatal magic. Although this process is extremely painful, the unfortunate guy bound by the "entanglement" will never die unless he struggles and screams for several days. This is the "compassion" unique to the Ent Tree Herders.
But... I have to admit that the fighting ability of Rohan's Royal Guards is really outstanding beyond imagination. In the previous battle, Prince Xiyoude and his Royal Guards were in an unfavorable situation of being ambushed and surrounded. The cavalry's best charge was completely ineffective, but the Rohan people on horseback were still brave and unmatched. After a whole day of fierce fighting, they suffered heavy casualties and were almost annihilated, but they brought the other side a loss that was several times heavier than their own. Two thousand strong orc soldiers... three thousand barbarian warriors... after such a long battle, there were less than 1,500 people who could still stand here. The rest of the people either died on the battlefield or fled the battlefield after being dispersed by the small-scale cavalry charge like the guys Lin Yu encountered before. Moreover, even the less than 2,000 people who survived were weak and exhausted, standing there, just like wooden stakes that could not move or fight back.
Facing such an opponent, Lin Yu had no desire to fight at all. This one-sided pure killing really made him lose interest. Lin Yu was bored and collected the souls of the dead soldiers on the battlefield. To be honest, the quality of these souls was quite good. After all, no matter which side, not only the Rohan soldiers, but even the barbarian warriors and the strong orc soldiers were brave and fearless warriors when they were alive. Especially the nearly 1,000 souls belonging to the Royal Guards of Rohan, not only are they of extremely high quality, but they are also full of fighting spirit. Although they cannot develop into believers of the "Kingdom of God" due to their excessive hostility, they are quite good weapons for attack.
Some of these warriors' souls died from being stabbed by thousands of arrows, some were torn into pieces, and some were bitten to death by the teeth of barbarian warriors. Add to that the grief and anger of being surrounded, the determination to die with their eyes open, and the concern for the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince... From the perspective of soulology, these souls are all wronged souls.
If these souls fall into the hands of a necromancer, they will be the perfect material for making a ghost knight corps; if they fall into the hands of an evil cultivator, they will be the best choice for refining the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Flag. But now they fall into Lin Yu's hands... Lin Yu, who was extremely bored, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and an interesting idea came to his mind.
"... Well, if that's the case, the feasibility seems to be not low, no, it should be said to be quite high... Do it immediately when you think of something, this is Lin Yu's usual style of doing things. Lin Yu, who was watching the battle on the side, had no intention of fighting and was almost about to fall asleep, but at this moment he suddenly became excited, and his body exuded a golden glow of mind power. After these hundreds of mind balls came into contact with the bodies of these barbarian warriors and drilled into them, they completely disappeared without a trace... At first, everything was calm... After being touched by these mind balls, the barbarian warriors were a little nervous at first, gritting their teeth and carefully observing their physical conditions, fearing that there would be any signs of burns or poisoning. Although the witchcraft performed by that person seemed ridiculous, it was ultimately a mysterious magical power, and it might produce some strange effects, but nothing happened, neither pain nor itching.
But just as the barbarian warrior opened his mouth to yell and prepare to laugh at Lin Yu, suddenly, his head felt slightly dizzy, and everything in front of him changed drastically. In an instant, he seemed to have entered another person's body, occupied another person's perspective, and "witnessed" a heavy saber with a cold light coming towards his neck. The barbarian warrior wanted to dodge, but suddenly found that his ankle was in great pain. He looked down and found that his entire foot had been cut off.
"When did this happen? When did I get hurt? Why didn't I feel anything before?" With these questions in mind, the barbarian warrior wanted to raise his weapon to parry, but the feeling in his hand was wrong... Eh? Strange, why is it that I am holding a war hammer in my hand? Hasn't he always been using the short-handled felling axe passed down from his grandfather's grandfather?
