Outside Hani City, Fang Heng looked calm. He stood on the vines extended by the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, and looked at Hani City, which was being invaded by the sacred tree in the distance.
Game notifications kept popping up on his retina.
[Hint: The sacred tree Abe Akaya has killed the Empire’s guardian soldier. Your friendship with the Empire has dropped to the current limit.]
[Hint: You and Hani City have become enemies…]
[Hint: The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, has killed…]
[Hint: The morale of the city’s guardian team has been greatly reduced.]
Fang Heng felt a sense of joy through the spiritual connection with Abe Akaya.
After absorbing enough energy, the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, wanted to grow and expand. It wanted to photosynthesize and absorb more energy.
Before this, the sacred tree had already spread to the foot of Hani City and swallowed the entire city.
At that time, Fang Heng had a good relationship with the Empire. He even counted on the Empire to help him build a mage tower. Therefore, this blind expansion was forcibly stopped by Fang Heng.
This time, the sacred tree launched an attack on the entire Hani City under Fang Heng’s control!
The strength of the sacred tree in its battle form was higher than Fang Heng had expected!
The vines climbed up the city walls and quickly reached the top of the city walls, attacking the Empire soldiers on the city walls.
They didn’t even need to use the Lickers and zombie clones. The sacred tree alone was enough to beat up most of the guards.
At first glance, it seemed like the entire Hani City was going to be taken over.
Originally, Fang Heng didn’t want to make such a big deal.
At first, he only wanted to sneak into Hani City to check out the situation and get his own supplies.
He didn’t expect the City Lord of Hani City, Brian, to be such a talent in defending the city.
Brian knew how terrifying the Land of Plague was.
That was a monster that could resist the barbarian army!
From the very beginning, Brian wanted to defend Hani City to death for a few hours until the royal guards sent by the Empire arrived.
Therefore, the four city gates of the entire city were tightly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The soldiers stood on the city wall, waiting for him.
After arriving outside Hani City, Fang Heng circled around the city and observed it for a few rounds, but he still couldn’t find a way to sneak into the city.
Time was slowly being wasted, and the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, was constantly using its psyche to encourage him. Therefore, he decided to let the sacred tree attack!
The effect was unexpectedly good!
On the city wall in the distance, Brian, the City Lord of Hani City, was frozen as he watched the layers of vines sweeping in from all directions.
He was already on full alert and did not underestimate his opponent.
However, he still couldn’t win!
Faced with the green vines that kept appearing, the Empire’s soldiers raised their weapons to fight back. The sharp weapons cut through the vines and thorns.
However, they could not stop the vines at all!
Wave after wave of vines came endlessly, and the Empire’s soldiers were exhausted from dealing with them.
“Lord Brian, the eastern city wall needs reinforcements. The vines have invaded the city from the East… We’ve already sent an emergency signal to the royal guards, and they’re on their way…”
Brian’s heart sank as he listened to the reports from his men.
The sacred tree in the Land of Plague was too terrifying!
“BOOM!!!”
Suddenly, there was a violent shake under his feet.
What’s going on?
Brian’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but look down at the city wall.
From the depths of the Land of Plague, a huge vine thorn extended out, and the sharp thorn dug a huge hole under the city wall!
“Mages! Set up a firewall!”
In the chaos, the city’s deputy commander shouted.
The Empire’s mages in the city were originally prepared to deal with the barbarians.
Now, the enemy was the sacred tree.
The fire spells cast by the mages could cause great damage to the vines. The flames stopped the vines from spreading temporarily, but the mages’ mental strength was very limited, and the range of the flames they summoned was not large enough, so they could only stop the attack of the vines in a certain area.
The dense vines scuttled over from both sides of the dense flames!
The sounds of weapons clashing and people shouting reverberated on the city wall.
The Empire’s soldiers were exhausted from running. They raised their weapons mechanically and continuously slashed at the endless vines.
If they were not careful, the Empire would be dragged off the city wall by the vines and would be dragged deep into the soil, becoming the nourishment of the sacred tree.
“Three more hours, Lord Brian. Please hold on. The royal guards will arrive soon. Please hold on!”
Brian’s face was ashen.
He watched the soldiers fall one by one without a word.
He couldn’t win.
He had never felt so powerless before, not even when he was facing the barbarians.
Three hours?
Not to mention three hours, he wouldn’t even be able to hold on for half an hour!
The vines ignored the city walls and broke through the defense of the guards on the city walls, successfully invading the city.
The elite soldiers of the Empire had already begun to fight in the streets.
The moral of the Empire’s soldiers plummeted as they saw their comrades dying one after another.
In the past, it was easy to deal with the barbarian race. Even if the demonized barbarian race was very strong, they still had a way to deal with it.
But these vines?
They couldn’t see any hope of winning against such vines with endless vitality!
The sharp long sword could cut the vines and cause them pain, but as the vines were repelled time and time again, more and more vines would spread over. It was simply…
The veins on Brian’s neck bulged as he shouted to the royal guards, “Get lost! Stop making meaningless sacrifices, we surrender, we surrender to the Land of Plague.”
The royal guard’s face was pale as he asked, “My Lord, do you know what you are saying?”
“I told you to get lost! Don’t let the soldiers of the Empire sacrifice in vain! Did you hear that? I’m going to surrender to the Land of Plague!”
[Hint: The City Lord of Hani City, Brian, has surrendered to the Land of Plague.]
[Hint: If the player accepts the surrender, he will gain control of Hani City and his relationship with the Empire will be greatly reduced.]
[Hint: In the current trial mode, the player cannot open the mission line related to the special Empire conquest mode. The player can still choose to proceed with the conquest mode.]
In the distance, Fang Heng saw the white flag raised on the city wall.
Immediately after, the game notifications popped up.
Surrendering?
It really went so smoothly?
It seemed to be a little off from what he had expected.
Fang Heng curled his lips and checked the game prompt.
From the start, he had never thought of directly taking down Hani City.
Conquest mode?
Conquer the entire Empire?
This was a bit of nonsense.
The sacred tree had a strong territory, and could only deal with Hani City with a single blow.
“It’s over. The grudge between us and the Empire is getting bigger and bigger…”
Fang Heng muttered to himself in a low voice as he realized that the development of the matter was a little beyond his expectation.
