Nolan, who was standing behind Richard, was suddenly startled and exclaimed, "Golden World Tree?"

Richard stood up, looked at the seed that had just sprouted a young leaf, and said, "That's right. ”

"This is the symbol of the Elven Court, how did it fall into your hands?"

"An accident. ”

Nolan was silent for a moment, the light in his eyes flickering, and then he said, "This plane should also have a World Tree, right? How did you plant it here?"

Richard smiled and said, "I just want the World Tree to know that there is no room for compromise in this war. Sooner or later I'll uproot it!"

Richard waved his hand, and a team of fifty Darkblade Knights, led by ten elite knights, walked over, guarding the Golden World Tree. Richard and Nolan walked towards the second group of departures.

Nolan looked back at the Darkblade Knight who was guarding the guards, and asked, "Is it okay to just leave it here?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that something as precious as the Golden World Tree is guarded by an army of 10,000 people. In the era of the Elven Empire, it was guarded by several High Elves. Now Richard has released dozens of knights, and it is too careless. Since the Golden World Tree has been planted, the other World Tree will definitely try to destroy it by all means, and it is impossible to defend it too much.

Richard smiled mysteriously and said, "That's enough." ”

But how can this person be enough? It's almost the same as all the powerhouses of the Holy Domain! With doubts, Nolan followed Richard on his way.

When they left, a few worker bees crept out of the forest, surrounded an ancient tree, nibbled it down in a few moments, and dragged it away. More worker bees are emerging, and old trees are bitten off and dragged away, even the roots buried deep in the ground are not spared. Worker bees are constantly burrowing in and out of the soil, and they are almost unrivaled when it comes to digging. While cleaning the roots, they are also loosening the soil to make it more suitable for growth. A few moments later, there were already thousands of worker bees busy around the Golden World Tree. More worker bees are still coming.

Just twenty kilometers away, the star chrysalis floated silently in the air. It had shrunk to a length of fifty meters, and dozens of glowing organs like fireflies opened under its shuttle-shaped body, sprinkling warm yellow light downward. A large clearing had been cleared in the forest, densely scattered with tens of millions of cyan oocysts. Under the warm light of the star chrysalis, you can see through the translucent egg wall that most of the creatures have grown inside. They grow extremely fast, and their arthropods extend at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, an egg sac burst open, and a small spider crawled out of it. The oocyst is no larger than a fist, and the spider is about the size of a normal spider. But it's not an ordinary spider, it's a bird-eating spider that once played a decisive role in the advancement of the Living Tree. This time, the bird-eating spider was born in full spider form, but it was much smaller than the full body, and it was covered in a white soft shell. As soon as this little spider is born, the first thing it does is to eat all the egg sacs, and then, under the guidance of the star chrysalis, it crosses the clearing and crawls towards the forest. It stops by the first tree it encounters and begins to eat. Moments later, another bird-eating spider larvae appeared beside it. Subsequently, bird-eating spider larvae continued to appear, and in the blink of an eye, they climbed all over the tree, making the tree body white!

The oocysts began to burst open in large swaths, and the young bird-eating spiders rushed like a white tide to the forest, where there was an endless supply of food.

The star chrysalis floats quietly in the sky, illuminating the sea of bird-eating spiders below. The light it emits can deliver energy to bird-eating spiders while accelerating their growth. These bird-eating spiders were re-analyzed and bred by the mother nest based on the results of the previous war. They initially become smaller and require more care. It takes the light of the star pupae for them to hatch from the egg sacs, and the cycle of feeding and growth becomes longer, with a full seven molts before they reach full maturity.

It may seem that bird-eating spiders are much less adaptable to the environment, but the benefits of this improvement are enormous. The first is that the energy required by the mother nest to cultivate egg sacs is greatly reduced, and the ninth-order mother nest can cultivate 500 egg sacs per day. This allows for a rapid build-up. A longer growth cycle means that the bird-eating spiders will become more powerful, in fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, the second generation of bird-eating spiders is more than half as strong as the first generation, and their number can be several times that of the first generation. As for the large amount of food needed to grow, it is by no means a problem in the green forest plane.

The star chrysalis brought a full 10,000 egg sacs this time, and after ten days, they will become mature individuals with good combat effectiveness. Thirty days later, it is a complete body with strong combat power. Bird-eating spiders' webs, poisonous spitting and sharp blades are deadly weapons that can be used against woodpeckers as well as other creatures. Tens of thousands of bird-eating spiders are the troops that protect the advancement of the Tree of Life, and they can also be the terrifying force that protects the Golden Tree of Life.

That's why Richard said that this "person" is enough. But this scene, Richard is not ready for Nolan to see for the time being.

At this moment, the brood clone is rushing towards the sixth order. It is already a behemoth more than fifty meters long, not much worse than a star chrysalis. However, it does not have an incomparably hard insect beetle like the brood itself, and its body surface is more of a crust with very average defense. Until now, the brood clone is still constantly creating zào worker bees, and every time it upgrades, it also chooses to strengthen the zào creation ability of various units. Perhaps because of this specialization, the ability of the brood clone to create a Zào combat unit at this moment has caught up with the main body. It can now craft five level 9 combat units per day, and the lower the level of the combat units, the more they will be numerous, and the number of combat units can be increased by two for each level decreased. In terms of the ability to create low-level combat units, the doppelganger even surpasses the main body. Now when making worker bees, it can make a full twenty-eight at a time!

In the vicinity of the doppelganger, a square kilometer of open space has already appeared. But from the perspective of the whole forest sea, this open space is smaller than the water droplets in the sea. There are nearly 2,000 worker bees active in the forest, and the high-energy beeswax secreted by them after eating has become a small mountain, and the clones have not even had time to eat it.

The doppelganger's strategy had been agreed upon by Richard, and it would continue to create worker bees for the next month. Worker bees have giant jaws that can crush rocks, and they can also bite through armor. When the number of worker bees reaches a certain order of magnitude, there will be nothing to stop their advancement!

However, Richard had no intention of using the power of the brood in this round of counterattacks. The troops that were the first to move forward were advancing very quickly. They glued explosives made of dark blue to large trees and ignited them directly. The violent explosion will blow most of the trees directly, and although the few large trees that are too thick will not be broken, they will be cut down by a few axes by a strong soldier. This time, the star chrysalis brought dozens of tons of improved gunpowder made from rock and wood. The explosive power of the new gunpowder has weakened, but the difficulty of manufacturing has also decreased significantly, and the corresponding production has soared dozens of times. With the help of gunpowder, the vanguard advanced very quickly, and the most time-consuming task was to push the fallen giant trees to both sides of the road. In this way, in the continuous roar, a road quickly stretched in the forest sea. When Richard led the second group of troops to catch up, the vanguard had already stretched dozens of kilometers into the forest sea.

Richard commanded the troops to open a ten-meter-wide corridor in the forest, such a narrow passage could not completely block the will of the forest, but it was also weakened by a considerable amount. In this way, the coverage of the Holy Unicorn has been expanded several times, and the vanguard can be completely protected. The follow-up troops were blessed by the priests brought by Nolan in turn to bless the magic to resist the oppression of the will of the forest.

After the two teams merged into one, the speed of advance increased again, and every day they were able to open up fifty or sixty kilometers of passage in the forest. In Richard's mind, at this rate, he would be able to reach his first goal in about two months.

The advance of nearly 10,000 troops, the continuous roar of explosions, and the falling towering ancient trees, this momentum is not only huge? This cannot be hidden from the eyes of the guardian elves. On the third day, Richard spotted a Hunter with a guardian elf around. As soon as Richard gave the order, the strong men in the army scattered in all directions, killing more than a dozen guardian elves who came to scout in one day, but they were still escaped by two clever guys. However, Richard didn't want to hide anything at all, he was ready to push over and bulldoze all the obstacles on the road!

The Guardian Elves are also proud, and they may be afraid of Richard's soldiers, but for the World Tree and the Tree of Life, Richard's large-scale logging is the most radical provocation, and it is also equivalent to digging into the foundation of their power, which is simply intolerable. Therefore, on the fourth day after Richard's army entered the forest sea, it was only 300 kilometers from the baseline, and the huge forest will could not wait to gather and try to form a comprehensive suppression again. Then tens of thousands of mutant elves poured out like a tide, and thousands of guardian elf warriors also attacked!

This time, however, Nolan was in Richard's army.

When the High Priest of the Eternal Dragon Temple began to chant the incantation, her voice was heard in all directions, suppressing all the other voices in the forest. The roar of the mutant elves, the battle horns of the guardian elves, and the sonorous sound of the golden and iron clanging of Richard's army were all gone, and only Nolan Qingyue's voice echoed!
