The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon
#176 - Territorial expansion
The Oakwood Guardian was still very simple. Atilan's arrival made Old Tree Root very happy, and he swayed his branches in a muffled voice.
"Thank you, little dragon. You really are a good dragon. I almost thought you were just trying to trick me into giving you more life acorns when you said you would help me. Anyway, my acorns are given to you druids after they are produced."
"It's all the same to whoever gets them. Besides, Gai'ogai approved of me giving you the life acorns. After your strength increases, you are indeed the easiest of the forest druids to help me."
"Are we still going to do the same training as we did half a year ago today?"
Atilan smiled and took out a pile of life crystals and piled them on Old Tree Root's roots.
"Today we're going to test something new. Do you remember I said I would help you improve the quality of the life acorns?"
Old Tree Root slightly shook its canopy to nod.
"I remember. You also mentioned a very powerful tree, saying that if ordinary people ate the fruit it produced, even without any power, they could have the strength of a legendary druid."
"Even just smelling the fragrance of the fruit could make someone a druid who can control the power of nature. Although I am indeed very envious of this realm, I don't think I can reach such a height."
"I'm just an ordinary oak tree, not the first oak tree at the beginning of the world that you mentioned. Even if the first oak tree became a treant, I'm afraid it wouldn't have such strength, right?"
Old Tree Root was obviously not confident. The Ancient Tree of Life was already the limit that ordinary treants could reach, or rather, becoming a treant was already the limit for ordinary trees.
Oakwood Guardians were out of reach, let alone Ancient Trees of Life.
Knowing is knowing, but saying it out loud spoils the beauty.
"What are you talking about! We are good friends. Naturally, I will do my best to help you. Whether it has any effect or not, you always have to try my method first."
Regardless of whether Old Tree Root believed it or not, Atilan himself believed it anyway.
"Am I right?"
"Alright, Gai'ogai said that you kid have the most tricks, maybe you can really let me break through the limitations of the Ancient Tree of Life."
Atilan scratched his chin with his sharp claws. The Bearman asked Atilan to help Old Tree Root master the power of purification. The Ancient Tree of Life plus the power of purification would definitely be a power that could break through the realm of the Ancient Tree of Life.
In fact, like the Creeper Vine, he could use the life energy of the Ocean Wyrm to infuse the Oakwood Guardian with dragon blood. If Old Tree Root could transform into a Dragonblood Ancient Tree.
Then the fruits it bears would naturally grow accordingly.
For the Ocean Wyrm, using its powerful control over life energy and the Ocean Wyrm's powerful erosion effect on life, Atilan was confident that he could perfectly transform Old Tree Root.
The Bearman wanted Old Tree Root to master the power of purification. Atilan felt that using the power of the Ocean Wyrm to erode Old Tree Root was the fastest way to master the power of purification.
Atilan used his lightning breath to inject the energy of the crystals into Old Tree Root's body, causing Old Tree Root to feel a strong pain. He swayed his branches and said:
"Although I don't know what the effect will be, I do feel that this training is more effective than before. It seems that your training method, Atilan, is better than mine."
"Sure enough, breaking through the Ancient Tree of Life requires your lightning breath."
Atilan's eyes widened. In fact, he could roughly judge how much pain it would cause to push pure life energy into the body of the Oakwood Guardian with thunder.
He didn't expect Old Tree Root to still be able to speak. He was really a tough guy!
He knew that oak was very hard, but he didn't expect Old Tree Root to be so tough.
"Old Tree Root, doesn't it hurt?"
"Of course it hurts. We treants are different from ordinary trees. We also have the ability to feel pain, especially when burned by fire. That kind of intense pain still feels like it just happened yesterday."
Atilan knew that the Flaming Wyvern attacked his back with its flame breath when he had just become a treant. This incident made Old Tree Root have a strong fear of fire.
In the beginning, Old Tree Root was not only injured in the back. So much of the dark wounds were left on his back, and basically all of his texture was burned away. Otherwise, he would not have been handed over to the Bearman who was being suppressed at the time to take care of him.
They could be considered brothers in adversity, supporting each other to get to where they are today. The Bearman really hoped that Old Tree Root could reach a higher realm. There was a strong brotherhood between them.
"But that incident in the beginning also allowed me to develop a very high pain tolerance, just like the Bearman who has been using thunder to train his body day after day for a hundred years. The current Bearman will not be affected by pain."
"I think you can learn from your master, Atilan."
The corners of Atilan's mouth twitched. He really didn't know whether they had honed their willpower or had become numb to pain. What was there to be proud of about this ability? He didn't want to master it at all!
In this way, Atilan accompanied Old Tree Root for a whole year of training. His familiarity with the power of purification of lightning breath had risen to an unsurpassable level.
He believed that now was the best time to send troops.
During this year, he didn't use his lightning breath to help Larune refine starlight bombs with a stronger purification effect. Through practical feedback, the effect of the starlight bombs was very good.
The White Wolf King had already opened up a grassland with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, and even anchored the water element plane to create many springs. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a large area and such fertile land?
Anyway, Atilan was tempted.
After a year of growth, Atilan had trained a completely iron army!
Not only were they all equipped with iron armor, but it was also dragon armor with the aura of a dragon. He had already achieved the achievement of being a young man leading ten thousand armored soldiers!
The starlight bomb with the power of purification of lightning breath indeed further purified the grassland cultivated by the White Wolf King. At least, the feeling that made Atilan instinctively disgusted could no longer be felt.
Of course, this purification was only limited to the area where Atilan had dropped starlight bombs.
As Atilan's mobilization order was issued, 10,000 well-trained elite warriors gathered in Huangsha Pass in just seven days, ready to depart at any time!
Atilan landed heavily on the city wall of Huangsha Pass. Fortunately, this year, because of the starlight bombs, the Gnolls launched more and more fierce attacks.
The city wall of Huangsha Pass was damaged almost every war. The dwarves were complained about more than once, saying that the city wall they built was a bit too fragile.
The dwarves also became ruthless, took out their best attitude and all their treasures, and worked hard to mobilize the power of the earth element plane to nourish the city wall of Huangsha Pass with earth elements, gradually forming the unbreakable state it is now.
The dwarven engineers received unanimous praise from everyone.
So Atilan, who was getting heavier and heavier, landed on the city wall, and the city wall remained unmoved.
"My soldiers, I won't say much nonsense. Our goal this time is to annex the Gnolls' territory and kill all the Gnolls active in the grassland!"
"Do you have confidence!"
"Kill the Gnolls! Kill the Gnolls!"
Everyone waved their weapons, and the sharp iron blades reflected layers of golden light in the dazzling sunlight.
During this year, with the battle with the Gnolls, Atilan's followers had accumulated a deep hatred with the Gnolls. Their eyes were red and they roared.
They must kill all the Gnolls!
"Set off!"
Although a year had passed, the plan to attack the Gnolls this time was still being promoted according to the one he and the Fishman Fischer had formulated a year ago.
Divide the troops into two groups, flanking from the left and right, and make sure that not a single Gnoll escapes.
The Gnolls had changed. They were no longer the ignorant people they used to be. They had actually begun to imitate the appearance of Huangsha Pass and build their own cities and walls.
Of course, the Gnolls' skills were definitely not up to par, but with the help of demon warlocks and demonic power, the sturdiness of these walls was no less than that of Huangsha Pass.
This was naturally because of the White Wolf King.
Dust flew outside the city. The White Wolf King knew that the dragon had finally couldn't help but launch a full-scale attack on him, but in a year, he was not without any preparations.
He had been bombed for a whole year, but he couldn't find a suitable way to retaliate. Today he finally had a chance.
Atilan's 6,000 troops stopped outside the Gnolls' city and had no intention of attacking the city.
Attack the city? Atilan was not stupid. He didn't need this city full of demonic power. The best way was naturally to destroy the city and the Gnolls inside together.
"White Wolf King, are you going to hide in the city wall and be a coward?"
The White Wolf King appeared on the city wall.
"You're here. I knew this day would come. But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Are dragons so impatient?"
Atilan stepped forward and smiled cruelly.
"Have you washed your neck clean? Are you ready to die?"
The White Wolf King opened his wolf mouth full of fangs.
"Do you want to have a duel between kings with me?"
"Why not? King against king, soldiers against soldiers, bring all your people out!"
The White Wolf King jumped down directly from the city wall. The gate behind him opened, and the Gnolls rushed out quickly and orderly.
"As you wish!"
"Awoo!"
