chapter 292. battle in golden sap city (1) “charge forward! kill them all! burn the world tree down!” the sound of baron lorbase’s shout spread around like a massive wave, full of bloodlust and anger. the people around, who were scared, felt a strange sensation around them that made their fear diminish at a rapid pace, exchanged for a will to fight. “fight!” “fight!” “fight!” while many were injured and healers did their work, the rest stood up and created shields above them to block mother’s bombardment. wisdom looked at them with an analytical gaze. it’s mind spinning with several methods and plans. [activating flora and fauna. you are allowed to attack all enemy beings below level 23.] the trees around suddenly felt a pulse of energy envelop them as liu shu’s aura instantly enveloped them, increasing their strength by a large chunk. as the enemies charged, one of them suddenly felt a strange shadow above him and looked upward. a massive branch fell on the man and struck him head-on. bang! the man’s eyes widened as the armored plate was deformed by the blow. the strength of the attack forced his feet off the ground and blasted him flying. a person running by his side widened her eyes. “wha-gough!?” another branch sneak-attacked her from the side, sending her flying like her companion. multiple attacks like these constantly happened, making the army people feel as if the entire world had come to life and become their enemy. elenara’s face changed when she saw that. ‘the world tree is actually using the trees of her forest as weapons!? what kind of godly aether mana control and influence does it have!?’ while forests governed by world trees weren’t safe, the local plant life was never completely subjugated to the world tree. hence, forests that fought for their world tree were rare. they weren’t a welcoming place, but describing them as “hostile” would be an overstatement. sadly, that was not true in liu shu’s case. the entire forest had bathed in her blood and improved by leaps and bounds. tianlian liu shu's monstrous influence over the plant beings she governed was profound to a degree that was difficult to comprehend. baron lorbase looked around at the attacking trees and gritted his teeth. ‘this is madness!’ the word of kaedric flashed in his mind. ‘... was he not overreacting? is this really a place that we shouldn’t have attacked?’ balaric, the second in command, asked in a hurry. “my lord! do we attack the trees!?” “no!” lorbase quickly refuted. “that will be a waste of aether mana and anima energy. push through as fast as we can! i don’t believe this low-level forest can cause a big enough disruption to us even if we ignore it!” balaric frowned. however, lorbase was right. ignoring the trees and focusing on defending against mother, their numbers lowered from 35,000 to 28,000. while a 7,000 loss was significant, it was by no means crippling. as the army of 28,000 crossed the last stretch of forest, the golden sap city revealed itself to them. the gorgeous and tall walls surrounding the city went beyond their imagination, and the extremely tall tree buildings towered even above that. further beyond, behind every single towering building, something so massive that it made the rest look like saplings spread upward. even when they were more than one-and-a-half kilometers distance, the gargantuan canopy of the world tree seemed like a beacon of power lording over the entire ecosystem around. lorbase’s heart trembled for a single moment. ‘that... that’s a level 25 world tree?’ he would've thought they had been set up if he didn’t know in advance! the world tree that lorbase could see had the same aura as some level 35 and even level 40 world trees!’ “hm?” above the world tree, several lights appeared, as if the world tree was creating something out of pure light. then, there was a small glare followed by an object magnifying in size at a tremendous speed. the guardian trees stopped hiding their auras, and their massive bodies exploded with ternary essences. every building surrounding the enemy army did the same and with several times more brutality than they experienced in the outer forest. the soldiers' hearts trembled as the deep energy from the level 25 massive trees crashed on them like waves. simultaneously, liu shu’s anima energy reserves lowered by a startling four anima cores, slicing almost a third of her anima reserves. together with it, the sky opened wide as eight pillars of green light descended from the sky. hisss! the invading army and the army that was waiting for them to approach the golden sap city trees couldn’t help but look upward as nine gargantuan flying serpents soared in the sky. their auras struck fear in many, as those beasts had all reached level 30. eila looked upward with a disbelieving grin. ‘does this place have endless hidden leaves?’ flor shouted once more, her face wrathful as a hurricane of ternary essences surrounded her. “kill!” if flor’s first shout was a switch, the second one was the sound of an executioner blade descending. boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! all the trees and people hiding in golden sap city attacked the enemy army, creating an array of explosions and chaos that caused thousands of deaths in an instant. lorbase looked around and his face twisted with anger and disbelief. angered at the number of losses he was suffering, disbelief at what was attacking him. ‘the houses in this place can attack!?’ by his side, elenara and balaric charged forward, shouting. elenara jumped off her mount and transformed mid-air, her body increasing in size as bark and other vegetation grew around her earthy yellow-colored body. then, she slammed onto the ground. “die!” boom! the floor around her exploded, and the shockwave hit the two tree houses nearby, making their barks crack as blueish sap spilled everywhere. balaric saw a branch from one of the injured tree houses rush at elenara from behind, and he leaped forward, unsheathing his sword and shield. clang! bang! he perfectly defended the powerful attack from the tree house, his feet sliding backward slightly. elenara didn’t even look back, as she understood how balaric fought. they’ve been fighting together for years, after all. elenara rushed forward toward a group of golden sap city soldiers, but before she arrived, her danger senses activated, and she jumped sideways. ‘what!?’ bang! a massive purple lighting bolt fell right where she previously was. looking sideways, elenara saw a gorgeous floating sylvan, transformed like her. her body was a mix of gorgeous violet flowers and electric yellow tones accompanied by arcs of lightning dancing around her. elenara’s eyes widened. “you... eila! did you betray the confederation!?” eila’s lips arched as her floating body and the earth below her got linked by rumbling arcs of electricity. the strength her body emanated was incomparable to the past. “betray the confederation? no... i haven't. i’ve just decided to stop betraying myself. now, face me, elenara, balaric. i am your opponent. <fulminant strike>.” elenara’s eyes reflected the bright purple light before her surroundings exploded. boom!
