Chapter 2351 Besieged
Senzo felt his mental strength being heavily drained, the pressure on him increasing to the point where he could no longer continue the suppression.
“Chi!!!”
Rifts began to appear on the magic array sealing the cave entrance, almost bursting through the entire magic array in an instant!
“Boom!!!”
With a resounding blast, the entire magic array exploded open, and the black fog billowing out from inside the cave instantly swept away the people blocking the entrance!
“Whoosh!!!”
A dark figure darted out from the black fog, heading straight for Senzo, the nearest Great Elder of the Leaf tribe.
Pride thrust a fist forward, its power amplified by the swirling black fog.
Senzo’s face turned pale in an instant.
“It’s Shaluba!”
He’s broken free!
Tam Sangga shouted, “He’s been sealed for too long, his strength isn’t fully recovered yet. Control him!”
“Let’s go together!”
…
Meanwhile, inside the Federal Command Post, Minister Ray was coordinating the final deployment of the federal team to the Operations Department.
The atmosphere in the command post was tense.
The great battle was about to commence.
In the previous two battles with the tree spirit tribe, under Fang Heng’s leadership, the Federation had achieved commendable results.
This time, for the first time, the Federation’s objective was to completely eliminate the Leaf tribe.
“Sir, we’ve confirmed the attack signal. Lickers and vampires have launched their assault on the Leaf tribe’s habitat. All units are prepared and awaiting your orders, Sir.”
“Good, proceed according to plan.”
“Understood!”
“Yes, Sir!”
With the command given, tactical teams across the wireless communicator channels responded in unison.
The Federation army, having ambushed around the Leaf tribe’s habitat in advance, immediately joined the battlefield.
The spatial transmission device’s energy surged to its maximum, and large war machines appeared with increasing frequency on the frontline battlefield.
In fact, the Leaf tribe’s habitat had endured consecutive assaults, leaving their surface defenses severely compromised.
This time, the Federation’s target was the Leaf tribe’s guardians.
They aimed to expend as much of the Leaf tribe’s manpower as possible!
Licker groups surged from all directions into the Leaf tribe’s territory, while vampires levitated above, unleashing blood-colored bombs, relentlessly bombing the night tribe guards attempting to resist.
“Oh no!”
“It’s the vampires! And the Federation!”
“They’re coming at us!”
The guards of the Leaf tribe spotted numerous Licker packs and vampires hovering above, immediately recognizing Fang Heng’s approach. Hastily, they deployed guards and sounded the alarm.
The entire Leaf tribe habitat went into emergency mode.
Vannes led his people into battle immediately to defend against the invaders.
“Activate the defensive barrier!”
Buzz…!
The green barrier opened.
One Leaf tribe guard hurried forward, reporting, “Elder, besides the Lickers and vampires, we’ve detected intense spatial transmission ripples in the periphery. Humans have also joined the battle, and a large number of war machines are converging towards our habitat. We anticipate the Federation is deploying remote beam firepower.”
“Fang Heng!”
Vannes clenched his fists tightly, his expression grim.
Great Elder Senzo happened to be out with Fang Heng inspecting pollution seals at that very moment. It was precisely then that the vampires and the Human Federation initiated their attack.
It was clearly a coordinated plan!
Vannes scanned the group of elder Leaf tribe members gathering in response to the alarm and urgently declared, “Everyone, the situation is dire. Please assist in guarding the habitat immediately until the Great Elder returns!”
“Yes!”
Vannes led his subordinate guard team into the battlefield, aiming directly for the high-altitude vampires.
The Licker packs proved stubbornly resilient, making them troublesome to deal with.
First, neutralize the enemy’s air superiority!
Vannes identified Prince Carl as the likely commander of the vampire forces and instantly entered Tier 2 status. With a heavy stomp on the ground, he leaped high into the air, aiming to strike at Carl.
Capture the leader first!
In the sky, Prince Carl and his group of vampire princes were conducting low-altitude bombing runs. Upon seeing Vannes and his team rapidly approaching, a glint of battle intent sparked in Carl’s eyes.
Interesting!
“Just as I was looking for you, you’ve come right to me!”
In an instant, Vannes closed in on Carl and delivered a powerful punch.
“Bang!!!”
What!?
It was blocked!
Vannes was astonished. He had put all his strength into that punch, yet it felt like hitting a solid steel plate. He couldn’t overcome this seemingly ordinary vampire before him!
With that strike, Carl was knocked back a short distance, leaving Vannes completely drained of the strength in his fist.
“Your Majesty is right, the tree spirits are indeed formidable. We mustn’t underestimate them,” Carl remarked coldly as he floated in the air, glancing disdainfully at Vannes, who struggled under the influence of gravity, about to hit the ground again.
“In together!”
With those words, Carl raised his hand, sending dozens of concentrated lifeblood bombs hurtling toward Vannes.
Just as Vannes landed, he immediately sensed a violent surge of lifeblood from above. He looked up and saw a dense array of blood-colored bombs descending towards him.
Run!
Vannes immediately dodged to the side.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”
Concentrated lifeblood bombs whizzed past Vannes, exploding on the ground around him, creating massive blood spheres!
There was no way to evade them!
The shockwaves from the explosions lifted the injured Vannes off his feet.
As he struggled to regain his balance upon landing, three vampire princes swooped down towards him from nearby!
They’re formidable opponents!
Vannes became increasingly anxious as the battle unfolded. He had already considered Fang Heng a formidable adversary, but now he faced vampires whose abilities he had never encountered before!
While individually not as versatile as Fang Heng, each vampire possessed formidable individual strength. Vannes felt that each vampire was nearly as powerful as Fang Heng had been half a month ago.
In a one-on-one fight, he still had confidence he could repel them.
But against multiple opponents…
He couldn’t hold out!
He simply couldn’t hold out!
Not far away, other vampire princes and dukes who joined the battle swarmed in, leveraging their numbers and aerial combat advantages to wear down the periphery of the Leaf tribe. The elders of the Leaf tribe, subjected to relentless explosions, lamented their plight inwardly.
“We can’t win!”
There’s simply no way!
In the past, perhaps they could have held out for a moment with the blessing of the sacred tree saplings.
But now, even the sacred tree saplings are destroyed!
The Leaf tribe is utterly powerless.
While the elders of the tribe were entangled with the vampires, Licker packs poured frenziedly into the outskirts of the Leaf tribe habitat, wreaking havoc on the external barriers.
Inside the defensive barriers, the guards of the tree spirit tribe unleashed natural arrows against the Licker packs assaulting the periphery, defending their territory fiercely.
Fear gripped the guards’ hearts.
In the past, they could use natural arrows to send Licker packs flying, halting their advances. However, as the Lickers grew significantly stronger over several escalations, the effectiveness of the natural arrows in knocking them back diminished greatly.
Even when the natural arrows hit critical areas, they only momentarily stiffened the Lickers.
Suddenly, the entire outer barrier of the Leaf tribe began flickering under the relentless assault of the Lickers.
