Chapter 396: Eternal Forest
The bear tribe, the wolf tribe, the orcs, the ogres, and the other Oldman Small Town allies, when they rushed to the battlefield, the fight here had already been finished.
The various locals were all stunned.
The majestic mountain covered in lush forest had already been blown to pieces at this moment. All the trees had been evaporated and the center of the explosion was releasing a high temperature, turning the rocks into magma, forming a spider web on the ground. Several dozen miles was covered in dust and charcoal, turning it completely black. The air was already close to boiling.
This devastated scene, what part of it looked like a forest?
It was simply like an apocalyptic volcano erupting.
Eighty thousand Marauders, almost not a single one was left alive.
Most of their corpses couldn't even be found.
Several barbarians put together the two halves of the Marauders' leader's body and tied it high up on the Oldman Small Town's flag. They were currently showing it off in front of the locals.
This infamous forest robbers had now been completely burnt black. His eyes were round as his face was filled with a look of willingness and panic, not daring to believe this was real even in his moment of death.
The Marauders even dared rob the transport groups of the forest giants.
The Marauders have never been caught even when chased by the forest giants.
This resourceful and sly bandit group had finally been annihilated at the hands of a small town. Most of the Marauders did not even know what happened before they were wiped out in a state of ignorance. Even the lucky survivors were relentlessly wiped out by Miracle Commerce.
No mercy was shown at all.
No resistance could be formed.
It was so clean and so fierce.
Chu Tian led his people in front of the locals, "You truly came right on time. The battle was already finished by us, so we'll leave the matter of putting out the fire to you all."
The locals were all worried and fearful.
The most terrifying things was not exterminating the Marauders themselves, but rather they did not know what method Miracle Commerce used at all. How could they find the Marauders' temporary stronghold so quickly and how could they launch this terrifyingly powerful attack from out of thin air?
This destructive power could instantly level a mountain, even the top True Spirit Realm expert could not do that! So, the locals could already no longer imagine Miracle Commerce's methods. They could only feel lucky that they didn't provoke the other side, otherwise it would have been their tribes bombed to pieces.
The locals were all filled with fear, not daring to look forward and only sincerely bowing.
Chu Tian looked over these fellows and knew that they had already submitted themselves to Miracle Commerce's might. If Miracle Commerce wanted them to do something, would they dare not do it?
"Alright, we'll leave the clean up work to you all, you can also take a look to see if there are any spoils." Chu Tian had destroyed this large scale bandit organization, but he seemed like he had just destroyed a block of wood. It was like he did something not even worth mentioning, "We're done for the day!"
"Yes!"
The small town's allied army began to leave.
This only left the locals with looks of astonishment.
"What are you staring in a daze for?
"Why haven't you started clearing the battlefield!"
Someone among the locals shouted out and it was like they woke from a dream, slowly coming back to their senses. They might have already attracted Chu Tian's dissatisfaction and if they slowly cleaned the battlefield, attracting Miracle Commerce's anger, what would they do if they attacked their tribes?
Miracle Commerce could easily find the Marauders.
They could certainly easily find them.
Miracle Commerce could easily destroy the Marauders.
Then they could easily destroy them as well.
In the minds of these locals, Miracle Commerce was no longer a simple outer edge power, rather they were a super power that could be placed on the same level as the giants in the Forest of Chaos.
Actually these locals overestimated them.
The over a thousand bombs used by the Heaven's Punishment had already used all of Miracle Commerce's stored heavy bombs. These over a thousand bombs had been taken Miracle Commerce more than a month to make, so they could not launch another similar attack temporarily.
But it didn't matter.
Just this once was enough!
No matter who it was that experienced Heaven's Punishment's might, they would not dare go against Miracle Commerce. Even the giant powers in the forest would have to consider the consequences.
The allied army basically suffered no casualties.
This was a magnificent and shocking performance.
When the Oldman Small Town citizens saw their triumphant return, they were all filled with confidence. The Marauders were just a group of clowns, a bunch of stupid moths running into the flame!
Some people could already see a new forest city rising.
In the future, the population would definitely increase.
The times dealing with the spider clan proved Miracle Commerce's abilities. This time's slaughtering of the Marauders would spread Miracle Commerce's name through the forest and many locals would come for shelter soon.
Meng Qingwu began her plans to make shelters in the canyon.
At this time, the small town's spiritual pressure increased as a heaven shaking aura filled the air. Chen Bingyu came out of her closed door cultivation and she had smoothly broken through to the True Spirit Realm.
Chen Bingyu became Miracle Commerce's first True Spirit Cultivator. After a few days, Dongfang Haoran also bork through and reached the True Spirit Realm. Miracle Commerce had gained two True Spirit Realm experts in a short period of time, instantly making up for their lack of battle strength.
This could be considered a double happiness!
Chu Tian prepared for Miracle Commerce to have a celebration feast.
They would celebrate Miracle Commerce's break through progress!
............
The Marauders being exterminated caused waves of small stirs among the forest.
Some large powers in the forest's core began to fear Miracle Commerce. Although the Marauders were the public enemies of most of the powers in the forest, this fight from Miracle Commerce had attracted quite a few people's dissatisfaction.
A legendary hidden valley inside the Forest of Chaos - Refarius!
Refarius in the elven language meant sun and eternity, therefore people called it the Eternal Valley. Legends say that the elven city set up inside this Eternal Valley was called Eternal City.
Among the layered dense mountain forest and the natural springs, there was a white stone path covered in fluorescent moss. It was the only entrance through the ancient barrier, so if one knew the method of opening the barrier, they could enter the Eternal Valley.
The Eternal Forest in the Eternal Valley, always filled with vitality and a powerful ancient might. The warm and dazzling light from the sun drenched the entire Eternal Forest. Over a million elves lived in this forest and it was covered in elves' wood and stone houses. The beautiful sounds of elves came from every corner of the Eternal Forest.
The elven king's palace was above a waterfall, chiseled out from pure white jade. Each detail was filled with unimaginable artistic and cultural heritage.
That's right.
This was the Eternal Forest.
The capital city of the Forest of Chaos' wood elves!
The elves had long lives and when bathed under the powerful energy of the sun's rays, they did not suffer from any illnesses and would obtain great power, allowing them to live long lives.
The Elven Council.
Several dozen elven elders had arrived.
A white haired old elf sat at the speaker's position, "After several decades, many countries and races have been destroyed and they were destroyed by their radically pursuing strength, progress, and development. Strength will make people go crazy, progress will make people lost, and development will cause war. This is the root of all disasters. So, my clan has followed the same principal for tens of thousands of years, closing up and conserving our great civilization. The elves do not take the initiative to compete and what we have now is enough for our clan to develop....."
The elven speaker Augusta gave his speech in a slow and melodious voice.
It was unknown how many times the elven speaker had reiterated his own views and opinions.
The other elves listened wholly absorbed, nodding along with him.
The elves were a noble, righteous, conservative, and traditional race. They believed they were the strongest race on the continent. How could those violent spirit beasts and low class humans possible compare to the elves?
Countless times in history have told the elves that fighting resulted in destruction, so the elves did not start a war on their own. The elves would abide by their traditions passed down for several tens of thousands of years, remaining aloof to the world. Only by doing this could they ensure they were not corrupted by the turbulent continent filled with killing.
The elven king stood by Augusta's side. The elven king looked like a human that was around forty years old. He had the same beautiful jade like skin of any elven man, but his face was more sculpted, like it was carved by the most outstanding sculptor on the continent. Every inch of his skin was like jade and each pore seemed to be filled with essence. He was perfect from head to toe, like a natural piece of art.
He knew that Augusta was indirectly insulting him.
Recently the Elven King had passed by the Elven Council to seize a city which had caused great disapproval from the Elven Council.
The elves were a noble and graceful race.
How could they seize cities?
The elves were a conservative and peaceful race.
How could they attack others?
This matter had not been passed through the Elven Council and the Elven King's actions had seriously harmed the elven traditions. So, as for how to handle the newly seized city, the elves had very different opinions.
According to the elven regulations, once something they disagree on occurs, they would need to repeatedly discuss it. The shortest time would be one-two years and the longest would be ten-twenty years. Finally, once there was no questions with the debate, this matter would finally be considered settled.
After this long time.
If this city did not become barren, it would be seized by someone else.
The Elven King felt very helpless. He even made sure that this city would have strategic value to the elves. Not only would it consolidate the elves' status in the Forest of Chaos, it would also provide them a direct channel with the outside world.
The elves were too sealed up!
When the rules became shackles, the elves were still proud of themselves.
Helpless, the Elven King was only a king. The Elven King did not have absolute power.
"There is another matter that happened recently." The speaker said in an indignant voice, "It's that human you all let escape, he led people to cause a large stir in the forest. In order to exterminate a group of bandits, he burnt several dozen miles of forest!"
"What?"
"That is too hateful!"
"Plants and trees are alive and are innocent, how could he destroy nature just to kill a group of bandits! This truly despicable and unethical!"
The elves fell into discussion, being very discontent with Chu Tian's method.
