Chapter 13 Treeman Attack
But as the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

Dewy made a special trip to the blacksmith shop in Buckstown and commissioned the Hobbit craftsman in the blacksmith shop to create a set of tools for carving wands according to the drawings he drew.

After getting the tools, Dui began to process the willow wood.

He carefully peeled off the bark with a knife, then cut and carved it bit by bit according to the desired shape and size of the wand.

But the fact is that his brain learned it, but his hands and feet did not.

Wand carving is a delicate job that requires full concentration and no deviation can be made, otherwise it will affect the balance and feel of the subsequent wand.

So it was no surprise that his first work failed.

The scrapped willow wood could no longer be made into a wand, so Dui had no choice but to throw the half-carved wand in his hand into the fireplace to burn as firewood.

Looking at the two remaining willow logs, Dui didn't dare to continue carving with them, otherwise if they were scrapped, he would have to go to the old forest to find old willow trees again.

He had no confidence that he could safely get the willow branches from the old willow tree again.

So he turned his attention to the pile of other wood he had brought back, intending to practice with these woods first, and then move on to the willow wood when he felt confident.

For the next two days, Dui carved a wand out of wood.

Although none of them were successful, the craftsmanship was gradually maturing, and the carved wands were gradually taking shape.

But on the third night after his return from the Old Forest, a loud, piercing ring of bells rang out through all Buckland, startling Dewy and Drogo from their sleep.

Zhuo Guo knocked on Dui's door with a panicked look on his face, "Dui'er, get up quickly, we need to go to Brandy Square immediately!"

"What happened?" Dui saw Zhuo Guo's expression and asked in confusion as he stood up.

Zhuo Guo quickly explained, "The bell ringing now is the Bucksland alarm. Once it rings, it means Bucksland is in danger! The last time it rang was when the Brandywine River flooded fifteen years ago! I wonder what happened this time?"

Dui's expression also became serious when he heard this.

Without wasting any time, the two changed their clothes and immediately headed for Brandywine Square, where they met hobbits who were traveling with them along the way.

The square was packed with people, and only the tall Dui stood out among the hobbits.

At the front of the square was a row of militiamen ready to go, as well as members of the Brandybuck family, the rulers of Buckland, and their leader, Commander Rory Brandybuck.

"Silence!" Rory Brandybuck shouted loudly. Facing the hobbits below, his expression was serious and solemn, and he announced a very bad news to everyone.

"Everyone, Buckland is in danger now. The trees in the old forest have suddenly rebelled and are now trying to climb over the high fences and invade our homes. We can't let them succeed!"

"Therefore, I need everyone except the old and the children to follow me to fight back against the trees' attack!" Upon hearing this, all the hobbits in the square were in an uproar, and a sense of tension and fear instantly surged up.

But Dui felt a pang in his heart. The old forest and the stag land had always been clearly separated, and there had been no conflict for hundreds of years.

Could it be that I am the cause of this inexplicable riot and invasion?
The situation was urgent. No matter how nervous and scared they were, all the Hobbits picked up axes, sickles, hoes and other weapons they could use, and followed the Brandybuck family members to defend their home.

Drogo Baggins held an axe, his expression tense and uneasy, but he still said softly to Dui, "Dui, this is a battle between us and the trees of the Old Forest to defend our home. You are not a hobbit, so you don't need to get involved."

Seeing Zhuo Guo trying to persuade him sincerely, Dui felt a little guilty and shook his head to refuse. "One more person means more strength. I can't just stand by and watch you defend the Buckland. Besides, have you forgotten that I'm a wizard? Maybe I can help you."

Then everyone came to the other side of the high fence.

At this time, the battle on the High Hedge side was fierce. Countless Huorn Treemen came out of the old forest. They pulled out roots from the ground and quickly surrounded the High Hedge wall. They hammered the wall with their thick branches, trying to destroy the hedge and move straight into the Deer Land.

Although the thick fence temporarily stopped the attack of the Huorn tree people, it was already crumbling due to the tree people's continuous destruction, and even gaps began to appear in some places, and it was ready to be breached at any time.

The Hobbit militia who arrived early were constantly shooting arrows from their bows, trying to use fire to repel the attack of the Huorn tree people.

Rory Brandybuck, the lord of Buckland, stood on a hillside, commanding the members of the Brandybuck family to set up several catapults. They placed barrels of oil and wine on the catapults, which were thrown high up and hit the tree people behind the high hedge wall.

Then he threw out a burning fireball, which ignited the spilled oil and wine, instantly plunging the tree people into a sea of ​​fire. Some of the tree people who were drenched in oil and wine turned into flaming trees, emitting low screams.

Seeing this scene, Dui couldn't help but cheer for Rory Brandybuck's actions. It was such a clever and decisive method, even he couldn't think of a better way.

But what shocked Dewi and all the hobbits was that despite the heavy losses suffered by the tree people, they continued to attack the high hedge wall frantically, using their huge bodies to hit the hedge wall and using their thick roots to dig into the ground to pull out the roots of the hedge!
Soon, a huge hole was broken open in the high hedge, and a Huorn tree man jumped over the hedge, waving thick roots and branches, and smashed towards the frightened hobbit militia.

With the Hobbit's small body, if it were hit by the tree man, it would probably turn into a pool of meat paste.

"All petrified!"

A dazzling light was extremely eye-catching in the night sky and instantly hit the tree man. The tree man's attacking movement stopped instantly, as if he was frozen and motionless.

The hobbits who were nearly crushed to death were still in shock, looking at Dui with awe and gratitude for saving them.

"You guys get out of here quickly, leave this to me!" Dui said lightly to the Hobbit militia, then walked straight past them and headed towards the gap.

He could not sit idly by and watch hobbits die, especially when he thought the Ent rebellion was probably caused by him.

"Petrify them all! Petrify them all! Push back quickly... Stand still and die! Defeat your weapons..."

Dui took the initiative to attack, casting dazzling spells one after another, as if entering an empty space, freezing the approaching tree people, sending them flying backwards, or locking them in place...
