Chapter 2085: Bamboo God Tree
Chapter 2085: Bamboo God Tree
"What the fuck, why do I have a freaking High Orc Chieftain right at the top of my isolation barrier?!" Jin grumbled as he came out of the basement and saw that his isolation barrier had the enlarged Bamboo Tree included as well. This meant that the High Orc Chieftain had either scaled up the isolation barrier, used magic, or had a pair of wings that Jin was not aware of.
"Argh, seriously this is such bullshit. I thought Kraft was supposed to handle them?" Jin said and surprisingly, Captain Hei was defending the Devil Fox by saying that this particular horde actually came from the North.
Even Elder Bai concurred as he stated that he could feel the bloodshed that was happening at the southern portion of the Bamboo Forest and it was not a good scene for the Bamboo Village if the Star Foxes were not able to hold.
"Fine, fine. I get it. Commando Mages. Please handle the High Orc Chieftain before he really destroys the isolation barrier." Jin sounded out in the communications channel and the Commando Mages were already on their way to do so even without their leader communicating these orders to them.
But instead of shooing the High Orc Chieftain with bombs and bullets, the Commando Mages used something more primitive due to its size. High tensile strength wires were imbued with magic so that they were able to drag the High Orc Chieftain away from the isolation barrier and let gravity do its job for them.
At the same time, while holding multiple wires and zooming in at different points, the Commando Mages also ensured that they planted sticky bombs on the High Orc Chieftain as he was being dragged by the high speed wires causing him to fall.
As they let go of the wires, the overly stretched wires instantly came together, wrapping the High Orc Chieftain in a bind and he was unable to remove himself from the bindings, enabling him to absorb the entire fall damage. The impact was more than enough to cause the stick bombs to explode, further injuring him as well as the Dune Shell Orcs who were within the vicinity.
The Commando Mages felt a sense of achievement upon making it work as they had been trouble luring the High Orc Chieftain away from the Isolation Barrier. But now that the immediate threat had been removed from the Bamboo Village turned Fortress, the cannons and guns that were grown by the fortress, were activated and they easily shot out of the isolation barrier.
And with the recovery came the war cry to spur the Dune Shell Orcs to be more aggressive in their attacks. This resulted in the Rifle Mages moving their concentration of fire against the Dune Shell Orcs while the Bamboo God Tree continued to convert young Bamboo trees into warrior Panda statues and used them to fight against the never ending horde.
"I should go into battle." Captain Hei said as he saw the situation unfold right in front of him but Jin stopped him.
"You do not have to. At that level, my General should be able to give him some honour in his death." Jin said but Gara looked at Jin and shook his head.
"I suggest you get the Captain Panda to go for the offensive. I am your last defence, not your first striker."
"So... if I go to battle, you will come too?"
"Not exactly since you are 'plenty' strong yourself. But I will promise to look after you if Your Majesty falls."
"Not very convincing..."
"Jin, let's just give it a try. I think I did learn something when I was smithing the Bamboo God Altar." Mr Hammer said and Jin thought for a bit before deciding to enter the battlefield.
