A little scoundrel

Chapter 316 The Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might

The elven princess was clearly killed by Bai Ye in the Great Xia Kingdom, under the watchful eyes of countless people! Why did she suddenly reappear?

Could this be a trap set by Bai Ye and those cunning old foxes in the Great Xia Kingdom?

At this moment, the presidents of the Western Alliance countries could no longer sit still. According to their original plan, they would first secure the resources of the magical forest and then ally with the Great Xia Kingdom. This would give them more bargaining chips in future negotiations, preventing such a passive situation.

But now, not only had all their well-laid plans gone awry, but they were also about to face a terrifying disaster.

The elven princess's boundless rage!

They regretted it, but it was too late to salvage anything.

Nearly ten "Demon Slayer Missiles" descended from high altitude towards the magical forest at a terrifying speed of nearly Mach 50. Their targets were the core areas: the Dandelion Plain, the Willow Forest, the Magic Vines, and the Blood Mushroom—four deadly zones that had instilled fear in the Western special forces.

In the blink of an eye, the "Demon Slayer Missiles" impacted the protective shield guarded by the Lucky Clover.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Mushroom clouds exploded in the sky, and visible shockwaves of energy directly dispersed the clouds overhead. The power was terrifying.

However, after a few minutes, as the explosions subsided.

The magical forest remained lush and verdant, almost completely unharmed!

The Western presidents, who had harbored a sliver of hope, felt a pang of despair as they witnessed this.

Even more desperate were the armies of the Western Alliance outside the magical forest. Most of them were ordinary soldiers, their greatest reliance being armored vehicles with steel shells. But these metal behemoths were no stronger than paper boxes against the vine tentacles that seemed to have emerged from hell.

Each sweep of the giant vines, hundreds of meters long, could blow up a cluster of armored vehicles. The soldiers vanished amidst the fiery explosions, especially those at the forefront, who had no chance to escape.

Some of the more bloodthirsty soldiers, with a resolve for mutual destruction, fired grenade launchers and rockets.

A round of bombardment left the outer edges of the magical forest in ruins. Trees lay toppled and broken, plants were scorched, and the ground was pockmarked with craters…

But they also ushered in the most terrifying existence from within the forest, a divine phantom carrying endless killing intent.

"Unforgivable! Descend to the netherworld and become nourishment for my subjects!"

Within the elven princess's beautiful eyes in the sky, a sharp glint of cold light erupted. She slowly closed her eyes, her red lips parting to utter a cryptic incantation.

"Myriad Life Withers, Manjusaka!"

In the northern border of the magical forest, the deployment area of the beautiful Diamond Empire’s army, the most heavily fortified part of the Western Alliance’s military might, lines of battle stretching over fifty miles suddenly sprouted with clusters of Higanbana. Varying in size, they formed a beautiful red landscape.

However, the moment the Higanbana bloomed, the lives of tens of thousands of Diamond Empire soldiers were devoured. Their vibrant life force was absorbed within moments, leaving them like desiccated corpses on the ground.

"No! No~" Harris, who had just escaped the depths of the magical forest, thinking he had survived, watched in despair as a monstrous red flower silently grew on his arm.

Hiss~

"Ahhh!!"

With a fierce determination, he tore off his own arm. Yet, terrifyingly beautiful flowers, like infernal demons, bloomed on his chest and legs.

Most terrifyingly, the weapons and equipment made of precision materials rusted and became useless in that brief moment.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield seemed to have aged thousands of years. Everything suddenly felt foreign and changed. Meanwhile, the forests, plants, and trees that had been destroyed by the Diamond Empire’s forces nearby began to sprout and grow at an accelerated rate, seemingly on the verge of regaining their former vitality…

"This… this!!!" In the White House of the Diamond Empire, Bai Deng slumped into his chair, powerless, after losing contact with the stationed European army.

The presidents of other countries also witnessed the tragic fate of the Diamond Empire’s army, their faces changing drastically. They immediately contacted their own commanders, urging them to retreat!

However, even airplanes could not escape her pursuit. How could these ground forces possibly escape her grasp?

The enraged elven princess pursued the Western Alliance armies one after another. Higanbana bloomed, devouring the lives of the Western soldiers, turning their life force into nourishment to regenerate the damaged forest.

As contact with the allied forces was completely lost, the presidents and all high-ranking officials of the Western Alliance fell into a silent stillness, followed by an uneasy dread.

Facing impending doom, they even considered abandoning their countries and fleeing to the Great Xia Kingdom for refuge, especially those countries bordering the magical forest like Dàlì, Ruìsī, and Àodì.

"Mr. President, what do we do? She is within our country!"

"I told you long ago not to meddle with these Western idiots. If we had defected to the Great Xia Kingdom and joined the Eastern Alliance early, none of this would have happened. Now it's too late?"

"You only made a suggestion then. Why didn't you strongly oppose it? Weren't you also coveting the treasures there? What's the point of complaining now?"

"What are you arguing about? What's most important now is how to survive this crisis!"

"What is there to discuss? Besides that one from the East, who else can shelter us now?"

The national assembly of Dàlì was filled with accusations and curses, the atmosphere permeated with self-preservation amidst the panic.

"All of you, shut up!" The President of Dàlì, filled with terror and rage, shouted at the usually solicitous congressmen.

"Now, immediately contact the leader of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Mr. President, something has gone wrong!" However, before contacting the Great Xia Kingdom, the head of national intelligence rushed in.

"That elf has already arrived in our Rome! She, she's going to massacre the city!!!"

The minds of the President of Dàlì and all the senior congressmen buzzed. Their blood surged with anxiety and terror, and some of the faint-hearted collapsed onto the ground.

In Rome, the capital of Dàlì, above the famous Colosseum.

The elven princess slowly flapped her wings, her gaze icy as she recited a cryptic incantation.

Below, centered on the Colosseum, clusters of beautiful and alluring Higanbana began to grow, spreading throughout the entire city of Rome.

"Wow! What beautiful flowers!"

"What kind of flower is this? So pretty, is it Manjusaka?"

"Huh? Is there someone in the sky? An angel?"

"Oh my God! That girl… she looks like the terrifying elf from the magical forest!"

"Ah? Didn't she die? How is she still alive?"

The citizens of Rome, still exclaiming in wonder, were completely unaware that the enchanting flowers around them were about to devour their lives!

In an instant, the vast city of Rome was on the verge of becoming a dead city!

At this moment of extreme crisis, the Presidential Palace of Dàlì issued a death order to all city broadcast media.

"Esteemed Miss Elf, our Dàlì has pledged allegiance to Mr. Bai Ye and is under his protection. We implore you to reconsider and show mercy!"
