Chapter 1362: Chapter 384: A Man’s Troubles_2

General Pan’s mining village, Sydney City, is a hundred-blade-high mound of earth with only a narrow path leading up and down, which has always been the number one dangerous terrain of the Primitive Ancient Origin; once the new Caiyu City is completed, with Sydney and Caiyu cities relying on each other and mutually forming a strategic angle, they will definitely be a tough nut to crack.

Compared to that, among the triangular defense circle, only Fei Wenli sits amidst the wilderness. Although it has certain geographical advantages, the disparity is quite apparent against Sydney and Caiyu Cities—the terrain of Sydney and Caiyu is remote, the Demon Clan can deploy troops to surround and not attack, simply containing them will suffice, but Fei Wenli certainly will not receive this treatment, throughout the entire Sanggan River basin, only Fei Wenli’s location features the narrowest river bend, which, for the Demon Clan, situated on this golden passage of the Red Earth Highland, must undoubtedly be eradicated!

Fei Wenli and Sydney City have currently opened up two acres of land specifically for planting oil melons, but these melon seedlings are extremely delicate and under natural environmental conditions, they can only be harvested once at the end of summer each year. If luck is on their side with good weather and timely rain, before the war against the Demon Clan begins, Fei Wenli might be able to save up three or four hundred oil melons for the arsenal.

Although Liu Zhenhan holds the title of Flower King, he is not the Fruit King, after all. Even if he orders the oil melons to continue to bloom, it is against the season, and the forest flowers will only briefly bloom, never bearing fruit.

To rely on three or four hundred oil melons to deal with an army of millions of the Demon Clan, unless one oil melon could kill ten thousand people.

However, in that case, the oil melon might as well be renamed as a Forbidden Curse.

Although Shepherd-tree People Elder Cruyff is an expert in Plant System Magic, he also can’t help Liu Zhenhan solve this problem. The ability to herd forests may sound formidable, but commanding oil melons to rapidly bear fruit is not within the Ent Race’s capabilities, after all, the Ents are not the Plant Kings.

Actually, it is not just old Liu who is feverishly longing for the "Life Spring," Elder Cruyff feels the same.

Shortly after Ent Elder Cruyff arrived on the Aegean Continent, his homeland on the Atlantis Continent disappeared beneath the vast ocean waves due to crustal movement. To escape the loneliness, the Elder specially chose an excellent feng shui location and spent ten thousand years herding the Southern Cross Star Forest, hoping to accumulate the aura of mountains and the world through the vast forest over the years—breeding the "Life Spring" and "Spring of Elements" to nurture young Ents—within the Aegean natural world, let alone ancient trees with a lifespan of twenty thousand years which could evolve naturally, even ancient trees with a lifespan of ten thousand years required for the "Life Oasis Magic" to ripen young Ents are exceedingly rare. Therefore, Elder Cruyff’s only hope is to rely on the miraculous effect of the "Life Spring" that raises growth by ten years with a single drop, rapidly increasing the age of the old trees in the mountains to cultivate new members of his race.

Unfortunately, things don’t always go as imagined—within the ten thousand years of long history, the "Life Spring" that Southern Cross Star Forest nurtured happened to appear in the underground lava caves of the Ink Crystal Canyon, and just so happened to be occupied by the Dark Elves at the spring’s source; Dark Elves can summon the fire elemental top-tier Magical Beast, the Hell Black Dragon, and fire magic just so happens to be the Shepherd-tree People’s only nemesis; one Hell Black Dragon is also just fine, but the Dark Elf Queen, who owns a Seven Degree Gold Crown, can summon two Hell Black Dragons to assist in battle; after waking up from a long slumber, Ent Elder Cruyff, facing so many "just so happens," can only sigh at the whims of fate.

During his days in Caiyu City, Liu Zhenhan had been comforting the Elder of the Shepherd-tree People, especially after learning that the War Ancient Trees in Lusen City were nearly twenty thousand years old, which made Elder Cruyff rather anxious. He continuously urged the Flower King to lend him the "Mana Cloning Pearl" so he could use the "Life Oasis Magic" to convert all twenty War Ancient Trees into members of his own race at once.

Now, Liu Zhenhan was also busy gathering resources and leveraging what he could. Summoning the young Shepherd-tree People was, of course, a must-do, but with the Dark Elves’ army amassing, there was a maximum of ten days left before they set off to conquer the Elves and Giants of the Southern Cross Star Forest. Aegean, planning to strike, naturally chose a time when the enemy’s forces were depleted. He intended to make a thorough job of it, planning to knock out those two underground suns; he knew that retribution from the infuriated Dark Elves was inevitable. Thus, preparing the army and standing ready for battle were also matters that needed careful anticipation.

Recently, the Tiger Mercenary Office in Dorott Duchy received an order for seventeen Base Dragons, yet none had been delivered. At present, Aegean’s thirteen Base Dragon Phantom Beasts were Liu Zhenhan’s ace in the hole against the Dark Elves.

Under the careful tutelage of the Gnomes’ Beast Tamers, who possessed ancient creature training techniques, Aegean’s Base Dragons had learned to transform into Golden Double-Headed Giant Dragons and Beamon Giant Beasts. Since news from Lampard, the Dragon Knight, was delayed, Helen, seizing a stratagem, mentally commanded her magical pet to take on the guise of a Golden Giant Dragon, providing the Base Dragons with a model for mimicry. Meanwhile, the young white-furred Beamon Giant Beast provided by Priest Rehagel offered the blueprint for the Beamon transformation. The progress was smoother than Liu Zhenhan had anticipated.

However, what these giant Phantom Beasts needed most to master—also the hardest to learn—were the melee combat movements, and it was still difficult to train them for the short term. Liu Zhenhan had considered recruiting a group of Phantom Beast Tamers from the young priests learning dance and chant of war at the Cambridge Sacrificial College in Sydney City. With priests aiding the Phantom Beasts, all problems would vanish, but the newly opened college’s loyalty was yet to be assured. Hastily training a batch of Phantom Beast Tamers without full control of the force was a chilling thought, so this plan had to be temporarily shelved.

All the Two-Headed Chimeras had also been transformed by "Doppler Rays," but these flying Magical Beasts, even in the form of Golden Giant Dragons, could hardly match the Base Dragons in intimidation and practical combat use. Revealing over four hundred Golden Giant Dragon Knights at once would be unbelievable—a real ghost story. Liu Zhenhan believed that if he had to display such a luxurious, terrifying lineup of Dragon Knights to an adversary, the first reaction would undoubtedly be shock, and the second would be a test of authenticity. Without the Base Dragon Phantom Beasts leading the charge, this impressive Dragon Knight formation could easily become exposed.

During his relaxing days in Sydney City, Liu Zhenhan didn’t dare neglect Fei Wenli, Qian Qian, and Ji Sikaibi. Girls have thin skins, and being left out and ignored could lead to serious issues. Regardless of the awkwardness and difficulty, Liu had to shoulder the responsibility—it was also a good opportunity to foster affections, as they might eventually become his wives, which was a serious matter.

Helen taught at the Sacrificial College in Sydney City every afternoon. Moer, Gortani, and Golinny would also come along, so Liu Zhenhan got to see them once a day. At first, except for Moer, Helen, Lily, and Nini all ignored Liu Zhenhan with cold faces. After two days, noticing that Richard had slimmed down with an unkempt beard and a forlorn look, Helen, Lily, and Nini could no longer hold back their pity and sneakily made their way into Liu’s room to check on him. The encounter turned into a big collision that made Moer laughingly scold them, calling them all sluts.

This comment almost made Lily flip out. Liu Zhenhan was left with a headache, and with Avril still unresponsive, he now faced the tough, gentle Golinny. It looked like his home was in for lively times ahead.
