Chapter 1340: Corrosion

Instantly, shock appeared on Xiao Yun’s face.

What was that?

The vines that were constantly hitting the blue barrier suddenly stopped. Their skin slowly melted, as if they were shedding their skin. After the vines shed their skin, a soft black life form appeared below.

!!
The black object gently stuck to the blue barrier.

The blue light screen was surrounded by a blue halo.

“Bang, bang…”

What the hell!

Xiao Yun’s heart skipped a beat as he turned his head to look behind the team.

In the rear, in the ritual of the newly established holy weapon, a soldier of the Empire who had been drained of his vitality collapsed dejectedly.

He looked like a dried corpse!

Upon closer inspection, the faces of the soldiers who were sacrificing their vitality were rapidly aging.

The soldiers were drained of their vitality in an extremely short period of time, and they fell down from the ritual stage one after another!

The blue barrier that enveloped the army also flickered.

“Not good!”

Ovian’s expression changed drastically when he saw this. He warned sternly, “The vines are absorbing the strength of the barrier.”

“Hurry up! Replenishment ritual!”

Hearing this, the second wave of soldiers immediately stepped forward and took over the lives of the soldiers who had just died. They continued to sacrifice their vitality and barely maintained the operation of the periphery holy weapon barrier.

What should he do?

The entire Empire’s team was in a great crisis, and everyone was panicking. Maintaining the barrier’s operation consumed a lot of vitality! The rate at which their vitality was being consumed was far beyond what they could bear! Xiao Yun was shocked.

He realized that the vines had actually evolved a way to restrain the holy weapon shield after a short period of stagnation!

When Arbitrator Gernot saw this scene, he actually felt a chill run down his spine.

In a sense, this was the first time he had fought Fang Heng head-on. The other party had endless tricks up his sleeves and could find a way to restrain them every time. The other party had completely crushed them before he even showed his face!

What kind of monster was Fang Heng?

“Everyone, listen up!”

Gernot knew that he could not delay any longer. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Abandon the ritual! Follow me out!”

There were only 300 meters left before he could escape from the area covered by the vines.

If he rushed out, there was only a chance of survival!

“Charge!”

The Empire’s army knew that it was a desperate battle, and they immediately burst out with a strong fighting spirit. They waved their weapons and charged into the vine forest.

On the distant slope, the players were excited when they saw the Empire’s army choose to fight to the death and charge out of the vine forest.

Success!

Although they did not know how Fang Heng did it, the Empire’s holy weapon could no longer be used. The entire Empire team was in chaos and was fleeing in panic under the heavy encirclement of the vines.

Ed clenched his fists tightly and looked back at Fang Heng, who had just arrived.

This person was truly terrifying!

Fang Heng stood in the crowd and observed the situation in the distance expressionlessly. The game notifications on his retina quickly swept past. [Hint: Through the Power of Foulness, your attack has contaminated the defensive barrier, causing additional damage.]

[Hint: Your companion, Abe Akaya, has killed an elite soldier of the Empire and absorbed some of its energy through the blood absorption skill…]

The sacred tree was extremely powerful!

The effect of the newly added Power of Foulness skill was also very good. It could quickly pollute barrier spells. In addition, when attacking, it also added various disgusting negative effects, which could quickly make the enemy lose their ability to resist, and then easily drag them underground to absorb and digest.

The strength of the sacred tree was too strong in the domain of the vine forest! Perhaps the biggest flaw of the sacred tree was that it could not move. Younica witnessed the entire process of the Empire’s army falling into chaos. The elite soldiers were attacked by the vines and were dragged to the ground one by one, becoming nutrients for the sacred tree.

Now was the time! This was their best chance to attack!

Seize the Empire’s holy weapon during the chaos and give them a fatal blow!

Younica glanced at Fang Heng.

“Lord Fang Heng, we are about to take action.”

“Yes, the sacred tree’s attack range is limited. You guys can just give the command and do whatever you want. Don’t worry about me.”

Younica narrowed her eyes and ordered calmly, “All armies, listen up! Follow the predetermined route and pursue!”

Late at night, the capital of the Empire, Atama.

On the throne, Tang Wu closed his eyes to rest.

The battle at Hani City involved the future of the entire Empire. At night, he did note feel sleepy at all. He sat in the meeting hall and waited for the latest news.

It was almost dawn, and he dozed off for a while in a daze.

Suddenly, Tang Wu raised his head.

The leader of the Tianshu Academy, Pedelio, knelt down carefully, his brows furrowed in fear, “Your Majesty, you’re awake.”

“Mm, yes, I’m awake. Looking at the time, Xiao Yun and the others should have already arrived at Hani City. Did they take down Hani City?”

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Pedelio’s forehead. He did not dare to stand up, but knelt on the ground and answered carefully, “Your Majesty, Xiao Yun’s team encountered some trouble while attacking Hani City.”

…

Tang Wu frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

“Trouble? Ha, we have hundreds of thousands of Empire elites, but we’ve encountered so many difficulties just to take down Hani City?!”

“Your Majesty, please calm down.”

Pedelio felt bitter.

The battle at the front was unfavorable. Not only did they fail to take down Hani City, but more than half of their 100,000 men were also lost. Currently, Xiao Yun’s team was in a state of collapse, and they urgently requested help from the Empire.

How could he say such a thing to Tang Wu?

It was inevitable that he would be angered!

Seeing that Tang Wu was already dissatisfied, Pedelio gritted his teeth and said directly, “Your Majesty, the frontlines have just received urgent news. The army led by Commander Xiao Yun was attacked by the sacred tree forest when they attacked the periphery of Hani City. The army has been defeated and is currently retreating. Commander Xiao Yun hopes that we can immediately send troops to rescue them.”

Tang Wu, who was sitting on the throne, was startled. He suddenly stood up from his chair and stared straight at Pedelio.

Defeated?

“What did you say? You said he lost?”

…

Sweat was dripping down Pedelio’s forehead. He did not dare to raise his head as he replied, “Yes, Your Majesty. We’ve lost.”

Tang Wu stood rooted to the ground, his mind a little blank.

Including the Holy Court, the Elders Council, the royal guards, the Empire’s mages, the Alchemy Association, and the various feudal lords… There were more than 100,000 people in total, and even the Empire’s holy weapon had been lent to them!

But they couldn’t even take down a mere Hani City?

This was still acceptable, but he was actually completely defeated? And he was being pursued?

And he still had the face to ask him to save him?

Ding Shixiu, who had been standing beside the throne, was also stunned when he heard the news. His face was filled with disbelief.

He knew that it would not be easy for Tang Wu to attack the Land of Plague.

But…

Did they fail just like that?

Tang Wu clenched his fists and shouted angrily.. “Idiot! What exactly happened? Give me an explanation! Tell me why!”
