Chapter 99: Flag Warfare

Experiences are always novel.

Luo De found it hard to describe the feeling of two nearly perfect bodies entwined around him.

It was a tender care and longing that treated him as something precious.

Tally initiated the attack with a 80-11 formation.

The scent and aroma of the succubus in her demonic true form were especially sweet.

Luo De did not resist—he could not stop.

Vivian, unwilling to be outdone, joined the battle for the flag.

Tally suddenly let out a strange cry.

Thus distracted for a moment, she lost control of the major flag, which Vivian seized.

With no choice, she turned to attack the flank.

Unfortunately, it was a tiny patch of land—but fortunately, she held onto it.

The next moment, the battle shifted.

Since Vivian had claimed the flag first, she now held full ownership of the territory.

She chose a frontal, self-led tactic, using her healthy, toned physique to draw the territory’s people into her domain.

Though tree spirits were usually indifferent, it seemed Vivian was surprisingly proactive in this regard.

But the flag’s strength exceeded expectations.

Tally, meanwhile, employed flanking maneuvers.

She countered with a siege of public opinion.

It seemed she intended to leverage the advantage of [Charming Fluids] to draw all attention in the territory to herself.

A very clever tactic.

But clearly, she had miscalculated!

Thanks to the immense spiritual power of [Heaven’s Will], the land named Luo De had become immune to charm.

Was our Miss Tally about to lose again?

Oh no!

Oh no!

Miss Tally once again deployed formation 71-2—what was she doing?

She had used the very move that lost her the last round—was the succubus giving up?

No! No!

And she was attacking Miss Vivian too!

What an extraordinary skill.

Miss Tally, with her transformation ability, split her tongue and launched relentless attacks at an unimaginable speed!

What! Vivian’s territory erupted in violent earthquakes!

The powerful quakes shattered the ground!

In the end, the gap in experience was simply too great.

Vivian temporarily collapsed!

So that’s how it was! No wonder Miss Tally is a tactical master.

Finally!

After her relentless, prolonged effort.

First battle! Tally wins!

The second battle followed immediately, without a single moment’s pause.

Miss Vivian had also recovered her fighting spirit after brief rest.

Let us watch and wait.

Their eagerness allowed Luo De to let loose and fight thoroughly.

There was not a single second for Luo De to rest.

Until dawn the next day.

Beside them, in the stable, Chris stared in silence.

Damn it, are you an animal?

Not long after, Luo De walked out, refreshed and invigorated.

He sensed the banshee’s gaze and said coldly:

“What? You want to try too?”

Chris immediately buried her head in the grass and said nothing.

While the two girls rested in bed,

Luo De used [Tree Walker] to reach the Sand Willow Zone—the border between Windwall Forest and the Death Desert.

Near the Sand Willow Zone, he discovered a magical treehouse.

And he sensed Amy’s presence.

But it was still early; she was still resting.

Without disturbing her, Luo De continued walking outward.

“It seems closer again.”

He thought, gazing at the massive sand tornado in the distance.

Soon after, he noticed other saplings had appeared in the Sand Willow Zone.

They carried magical energy, but were withered under the erosion of these special suppressions.

They were on the verge of dying.

Luo De had abundant [Growth Spirit], so he infused a small amount into one nearby sapling carrying magical energy.

[Sand Willow (Magic-Modified) gained: Spiritual Potential]

The Sand Willow sapling emitted a faint glow.

It seemed to revive slightly.

Speaking of which, now that [Growth Spirit] was plentiful, perhaps it was time to try applying it to sentient races.

The gentle breeze of spirit stirred her thoughts.

Luo De turned around.

There, riding a white horse, came Kalist.

She saw Luo De and was slightly startled.

“Long time no see, Kalist.”

The elf still wore her usual scowl and sour temper, passing him without a word.

She walked over to examine the condition of the Sand Willow saplings.

After a while, she noticed the sapling near Luo De’s position—as if just now realizing he was there.

“Oh, human, you’re still alive.”

“How’s things? Any major problems?”

“Of course, of course—you vanished for over a month, then silently handed over your women and your forest to me to manage.”

“Hmm.”

Now that she mentioned it, he had indeed been hasty back then.

He hadn’t properly arranged anything for them.

Luo De took from his spell satchel the specialty instruments, clothing, and magical bracelets and trinkets he had bought in Scorching City and Jade City.

He had heard elves might like these.

The elf grunted and turned away.

At that moment, Luo De noticed a scar on her snow-white neck.

“You’re hurt?”

Kalist stiffened, quickly conjured magic, and raised the collar of her pale-blue garment, fully concealing the wound.

“None of your business.”

She spoke coldly.

But she neither refused nor accepted the gifts in his hand.

I understand.

Elves.

Not refusing means accepting.

Just like my old commander.

Luo De hung all the items on her white horse.

“The Magic Control League came by—they wanted to establish a blockade here. I turned them down for you.”

“Huh?”

Why turn them down?

Isn’t it better to have help?

I’m a legitimate forest warden—what’s there to hide?

Alright, perhaps keeping succubi, ghouls, and orcs really isn’t morally acceptable.

“What are you talking about? They wouldn’t care about the forest, and neither I nor Vivian would allow such behavior!”

Luo De did not argue further on this topic.

Considering Vivian’s feelings, he would refuse to station them.

He looked at the seedlings imbued with magical energy.

“What are those?”

“A new variety developed jointly by me and Dimia. It blocks sandstorms and protects the grove.”

Kali Site poured a vial of green liquid carefully onto the roots of the modified sand willows and said:

“But something seems to have gone wrong—this modification has never succeeded before?”

She let out a cry.

She stared in delight at the sand willows that Luo De had previously infused with [Life Spirit].

She cast an identification spell.

“It actually worked!”

It was unbearable, and nearly three hundred characters were deleted
