Chapter 826 - 375: Magic Energy Network_3
"Everyone, fall back!"
Lucas swiftly stepped forward, shielding the Church members behind him.
"If you wish to maintain your faith, then follow along quietly!"
Lucas commanded, his presence as a Legendary Knight exerting pressure on everyone, forcing the Church members to calm down.
The Ancient Wood Duke quickened his pace and approached Luo De.
"Your Majesty, is it possible for you to save the three thousand soldiers outside?"
"They are loyal and courageous warriors."
His eyes carried a plea, "They are the elite of the Ancient Wood Duchy, not inferior to any legion!"
Luo De nodded slightly.
He had seen the bravery of the soldiers.
"Save everyone?"
"That would be difficult."
Luo De appeared thoughtful, "But it’s not impossible either."
...
...
"Will His Majesty the Emperor really save everyone?"
The Ancient Wood Duke looked at the sky where the Giant Dragon was gradually disappearing, unable to restrain himself from speaking.
Luo De sat on Black Flame, carrying the life tree sapling, and departing, while also taking three members of the Church of Life and Nature.
In fact, from the moment the life tree sapling was handed over, everything fell beyond the Ancient Wood Duke’s control.
The Giant Eagle Knight had a stern face, his voice cold,
"If you dare question the words of His Majesty the Saint Master again, I will lead the Celestial Fire Legion and turn Ancient Wood Castle into a sea of flames."
"Even if His Majesty punishes me afterward."
The Giant Eagle Knight gave the Ancient Wood Duke a resentful look.
"We still have half of our celestial fire, to use in covering your retreat."
"Now, while the ghouls’ attack isn’t fierce, hurry and secure your family’s assets."
With that, the Giant Eagle Knight mounted his giant eagle, "You better make haste, or they will be buried underground."
Without waiting for the Ancient Wood Duke to reply, the Giant Eagle Knight rode his giant eagle, ascending the tower to regroup with his teammates.
At this moment, the knight beside the Duke couldn’t help but speak up,
"Lord Duke, such a captain dares to command you, is our allegiance to Emperor Luo De justified?"
"That doesn’t matter now."
The Ancient Wood Duke sighed, "As long as His Majesty the Emperor rescues everyone, none of this matters."
"Boom!"
A sudden loud noise interrupted the Ancient Wood Duke!
Immediately, the ground began to shake violently, causing everyone to stagger!
"What is happening?!"
The Ancient Wood Duke exclaimed, turning toward the direction of the city walls, yelling,
"Are the ghouls launching a full-scale attack?!"
"No!"
The commander on the walls responded: "It seems to be coming from the rear mountain!"
The tremor grew more pronounced!
Amidst everyone’s confusion, a guard suddenly ran over in a panic,
"Lord Duke, a dragon emerged from beneath the backyard!"
...
...
In the fallen Ancient Wood City, within a certain dark and empty basement.
Lomisa stood in front of the array, eyes closed, silently chanting a spell.
Inside the array was a robed figure, with markings indicating they were likely clergy from the Dawn Church.
At this moment, the clergy’s face was pale, eyes hollow, appearing long dead.
As Lomisa continued chanting, the corpse’s eyes began to emit a faint red glow.
"Master Lomisa! Master Lomisa!"
At this moment, another robed Necromancer hurriedly ran in!
Before he could reach, a bone spike suddenly appeared in the air, instantly piercing his chest and pinning him to the wall!
"Fool!"
Lomisa’s ugly face turned grim, "I was about to succeed! You’ve ruined it with your stupidity, forcing me to start over!"
"Because of you, I’ll have to forfeit a corpse witch refining!"
"M-Master..."
The Necromancer pinned to the wall trembled, "Not long ago, Luo De rode his Giant Dragon into the Ancient Wood Castle..."
"Just now, there was a surge of powerful Power of Life, and then he hurriedly left riding the dragon..."
"Hmm?"
Lomisa frowned, "He came personally? Is there any extraordinary artifact in the Ancient Wood Castle?"
"A strong surge of Power of Life..."
Lomisa appeared thoughtful, "I will report this to our master. Now, get out immediately!"
Luo De had already departed, taking the extraordinary artifact with him if there was any.
Now Lomisa had to focus on using the dense necromantic energy to refine his corpse witch.
"Y-Yes, Master!"
The Necromancer pulled out the bone spike from his chest, hastily saluted and ran out.
Lomisa took a deep breath, returning to sit before the array.
...
...
Luo De rode Black Flame straight back, returning to the castle where the army was stationed.
Such tasks as coordinating with the Duke didn’t require Luo De to be present personally, Chris and Lusen would handle it.
Rockridge had already gone to assist; the specific execution wasn’t Luo De’s concern.
Luo De was now more curious about the value of this life tree sapling.
"Nature’s essence?"
In his private chamber, Luo De recalled Macao’s words, conjuring another nature seed and placing it into the life tree sapling.
Luo De hadn’t done this before due to its unnecessary nature.
One nature seed was sufficient to change the constitution of his subordinates; more would be a waste.
Today was a first attempt.
The nature seed landed on the life tree sapling, flickered, then disappeared.
The life tree sapling in the pot trembled slightly, its leaves magically turning toward Luo De, swaying up and down.
Luo De couldn’t help but conjure another and offer it to the life tree sapling, which again disappeared.
The sapling’s leaves swayed once more.
"Your Majesty, you’re showing favoritism."
Vivian said beside him: "Neither my sister nor I received so many nature seeds."
"I gave you plenty of life seeds, yet you don’t bloom."
Luo De casually replied, leaving Vivian speechless.
Ignoring Vivian’s pouting, Luo De looked down at the life tree sapling,
"You may like it, but nature seeds aren’t limitless."
Luo De felt the sapling’s joy and smiled, "Once your followers establish arrays in the Empire, you’ll be able to absorb Power of Life daily."
"However, I can first replace your few broken life gems."
With that, the life tree’s leaves swayed again, seemingly thanking Luo De.
Luo De smiled, gently stroking the leaves.
In the instant he touched the leaves, the scene around Luo De changed dramatically, and a cacophony overtook his ears!
[Spiritual Strength exceeds fifty points]
[Magic Energy Network established]
Luo De quickly withdrew his hand, focusing intently on the life tree sapling!
What just happened!
