He felt that Xiao Yun was being too careful.
The entire forest had been affected by the alchemy magic array and was visibly dissipating. At this time, he should speed up and use the stone slab to disperse the forest and take down Hani City as soon as possible!
Xiao Yun walked up to Gernot, the consul of the Council of Elders. He cupped his fists and said, “Consul, I’ll take some men to explore the forest first. We’ll move together after confirming that it’s safe. The command here will be handed over to you for the time being.”
!!
“Yes.”
Gernot looked at the vine forest that was still slowly retreating and asked, “Don’t we need to bring more people over?”
“No need. sword saint Chepo will follow us into the inner area to ensure the safety of the team.”
“Alright, be careful.”
Xiao Yun nodded, turned around, raised his hand, and ordered, “Let’s go!” The Empire’s team quickly split into two groups.
Gernot’s team, the Alchemy Society’s team, and most of the Empire’s army were left behind to guard the camp. Xiao Yun led the royal guards and a group of elites into the forest to investigate.
In the distant forest, more than thirty pairs of eyes were staring at Xiao Yun’s team.
“Younica, it looks like they are preparing to split up. Should we make a move? Xiao Yun isn’t easy to deal with, he’s extremely cautious, I’m afraid there won’t be any changes even if we wait a little longer.”
Younica lowered her head to check the game log again and asked, “Have you communicated with the offline team?”
“Yes.” Ed nodded and replied, “We’ve already contacted Fang Heng. He just left the Holy City not long ago and is heading to the nearest teleportation channel. He said that he will cooperate with us.”
Younica and Ed already knew about the explosion in the Holy Court not long ago. They knew that Fang Heng must be doing some fancy work there again. As for the ultimate purpose of his fancy work, she was not sure.
Ed was already a little used to it. Now, even if Fang Heng did something strange, he would not be surprised.
His motive was to: Focus on what is in front of you and do your best to complete the mission!
Younica said in a deep voice, “Alright, let’s wait a little longer. Wait until they’ve completely entered the encirclement. Then, listen to my command and work together with the sacred tree.”
Xiao Yun noticed the gazes in the dark and knew that there was an ambush, so he was extra careful and led the team into the forest area in batches.
After two kilometers into the forest, the light released by the giant alchemy magic array gradually lost its effect.
Xiao Yun divided the team into twelve groups, each group was equipped with an alchemy stone slab.
Wherever the Empire team went, the forest vines withered under the scorching light released by the stone slab.
“The Alchemy Society is still useful.”
Xiao Yun thought to himself and signaled the team to maintain their speed and be on high alert. They kept using the stone slab alchemy magic array to destroy the surrounding vines.
If they continued at this speed, they would be able to clear all the vines by dawn tomorrow and arrive at Hani City.
Although this method was very inefficient, it was indeed the safest method.
In the distance, the president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, looked at the team that was slowly crawling forward and felt more and more unhappy.
What were they dawdling for?
Ovian turned his head and looked to the side.
Other than a small portion of the Empire’s soldiers, there were also three large teams that stayed behind: the Holy Court, part of the Empire’s mages, and the Empire’s Elders Council.
The command of the party fell on Gernot, the consul of the Elders Council.
Ovian narrowed his eyes and said, “Gernot, Xiao Yun’s behavior doesn’t match his age at all. He’s too careful.”
Gernot naturally understood Ovian’s meaning. He glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and nodded, “There’s nothing wrong with being calm.”
“When we left the Imperial City, His Majesty Tang Wu instructed us to seize Hani City as soon as possible and completely eradicate the Land of Plague.”
“The alchemy magic array can easily destroy the sacred tree forest. Is there a need to waste so much time?”
“I’m worried that the Land of Plague has already sensed the changes in the sacred tree. The longer this drags on, the more likely the Land of Plague will be able to retaliate. I can’t guarantee that alchemy magic array will have such a good effect.”
Gernot couldn’t help but shift his gaze to Ovian.
“What are you trying to say?”
“There are still spare alchemy stone slabs. I just ordered people to make a few more. They can help them finish the cleaning work quickly.” Ovian paused and continued, “You’re the party overseer, what do you think?”
Gernot thought for a moment and waved his hand to agree to Ovian’s request.
The five feudal lords stepped forward to receive the order. They each led a few stone slabs and led their teams to the forest ahead to quickly chase after the enemy.
Wherever the team went, the vine forest quickly withered.
The speed at which the entire forest of divine trees melted instantly doubled.
“See, I’ve said it before. alchemy magic array can restrain environmental field magic, and there’s no risk at all.”
As soon as Ovian finished speaking, an advanced mage in the guardian team shouted, “There’s a magical response! Be careful! Mages, get ready to support the magic shield!”
Buzz…!
A huge light-colored magic shield spread out, enveloping the entire team that was guarding the rear.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”
Looking at the night sky, a red glow flashed across the sky!
Huge red meteorites fell from the sky one after another, landing on the blue magic shield, and creating ripples.
“Enemy attack! It’s an enemy attack! Everyone is on guard.”
The mages of the Empire shouted and focused their attention on the battle.
Ovian’s heart skipped a beat.
What was that? Did the enemy launch a surprise attack?
…
That’s right! They must have discovered the alchemy magic array’s restraint on the forest’s sacred tree, so they decided to destroy the main array!
Did they think they could succeed just like that?
Overwhelmed with disdain, he raised his head and looked ahead.
What was going on?
Looking at the forest in front of him, Ovian was extremely surprised.
In just an instant, the entire forest suddenly fell into extreme madness!
Xiao Yun, who was at the edge of the forest, was even more vigilant. The surrounding vines seemed to have received great stimulation. The dense vines came back again. In an instant, they seemed to have received great stimulation and swept toward the team!
“Hurry up! Quickly use the stone slab!”
The royal guards immediately raised the stone slabs high.
It was ineffective!
The light emitted by the stone slab seemed to have completely lost its effect at this moment. It had no effect on the vines that were attacking head-on!
…
“Get into formation!”
Xiao Yun pulled out his sword and commanded the team, his eyes flashing with anger.
Ovian!
That idiot! What did he do?
“Chi! Chi chi!!!”
The sword light streaked across the air.
The sword saint Chepo cut through the vines around him and looked at everyone. He said in a deep voice, “Go, retreat immediately!”
Behind them, the Empire team could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yun and his team were surrounded by vines from all directions, becoming part of the forest!
Everyone on the team was shocked.
The scary thing was that the forest was still spreading outwards!
