I'm a villain, not a devil

Blood gushed out from the abdomens of the dead, or found its way out of the crushed heads where the mouths should be.

This strange scene was only discovered by a small number of tree people.

After all, they have a huge numerical advantage, and the tree people's innate talents also make them not afraid of any underground traps.

The tree people who noticed this scene were only slightly confused, but the army was advancing, and this did not seem to be something worthy of attention - after all, they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of compatriots who shared the same hatred of the enemy, and an unstoppable army of tree people.

The shouts and cries of killing continued, and the imperial troops who had originally organized a charge finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Piles of corpses were left behind, and they were completely defeated and could only retreat madly relying on the artillery array behind them.

The tree people did not seek quick success and rush forward. Under the command of Lord Seed, they plowed through the entire front line like plowing the land, exploring all places where there might be ambushes or traps.

On both wings of the battle line, the crazy beasts that were attracted had been swallowed up by the influx of tree people. Although the crazy monsters had no intention of escaping, in the face of the huge gap in combat power, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

On the other side, the troops that tried to attack the flank of the treeman army were also stopped. This force was obviously an elite team, and each member of it was good at fighting ten people at the same time. But even so, the number of the treeman army was too large, and the front line could not be broken. Instead, they were gradually surrounded by the treeman army.

The Empire's tactics were powerless in the face of absolute numerical superiority.

Lord Seed remained calm and composed. Even though he could see the city walls of the imperial capital from afar, he still had his subordinates convey various instructions in an orderly manner.

"Kill the crazy beasts on the spot, and the breeding tree people will wait in the back. The blood of those monsters may cause large-scale pollution after accumulation, and it must be purified in time."

"There is no need to rush to annihilate the flanking troops. Give priority to encircling them, and then let our long-range troops deal with them, and then the tree stumps can explore and advance."

"The frontal forces are advancing slowly, always pay attention to defense and detection of traps!"

Everything was going according to Master Seed's will, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the walls of the imperial capital, cold sweat was already dripping down the foreheads of many imperial soldiers.

Powerless... The invincible and unconquerable imperial army has never felt so powerless.

The officials and nobles who had rushed from their luxurious manors to watch the battle were already pale. Some nobles tried to find Wu Xiao to question him, but when the blades flashed, they could only retreat in embarrassment and return to their own groups before they could start cursing.

For a while, the imperial capital had not yet been breached, but people were in panic.

"marshal?"

Wu Xiao ignored the questions from his generals, but his hands were tightly gripping the railing, and his knuckles were already slightly white.

Push a little further... push a little further...

As the Imperial Marshal, he is more than just a figurehead, having spent five years in the Crimson Upper Class, he is capable of rivaling most of the strongest men in the world. Even though he is nearly a hundred kilometers away, his excellent eyesight allows him to see the entire battlefield clearly.

Wu Xiao clenched his hands even tighter.

Push a little further... push a little further...

He saw it too clearly, seeing the imperial soldiers dying while screaming, crying, or roaring, and seeing the brothers he was proud of fleeing in all directions.

Wu Xiao clenched his fists.

Then, the tree man pushed deeper, and a vague figure suddenly floated into the air.

A few people equipped with high-precision equipment or special abilities also saw this scene, and they immediately showed expressions of pity.

Prosthetics or superpowers that can float or fly are not particularly rare, but on the battlefield, the abrupt floating will only make them stand out. The tree people are not a low-level race, and their air defense methods are more powerful than imagined. Even the Imperial Army's specially made military aircraft cannot penetrate the tree people's line from high altitude.

The soldier who was flying up was probably panicking, and in the next second he would probably turn into a sieve and fall down...

Almost everyone thinks so.

The air defense forces of the treeman army also noticed this scene, but no one paid much attention to it. Only one air defense team raised the seeds in their hands.

A sound of breaking air was heard, and the floating figure seemed to be about to explode and turn into blood foam in the next moment.

However, those terrifying seeds that were powerful enough to penetrate armor passed through the figure, and the distortion caused by the high speed only caused the figure to shake slightly.

Then, a loud laugh sounded: "Hey, you guys in there, do you remember me?"

Lord Seed at the rear of the treeman army noticed this scene. He looked intently, then stood up suddenly. His eyes, which had been calm all along, were suddenly burning with anger.

It's that guy... who took away the tree heart!

Without any hesitation, Master Seed gave the order: "Aim at the area around that person and cover all areas with firepower!"

This order seemed somewhat impulsive, but everyone around reacted - Shuxin? That guy!

Countless seeds almost dyed the sky brown and black, and all the space around Sean was covered. However, he just stood there without moving, with the corners of his mouth raised high, silently laughing at them.

This scene also attracted the attention of people on the city wall. They originally thought that it was just an unlucky guy who was in a panic, but the other party was not affected at all.

Whose subordinate is this?

Just when both sides paused because of this strange scene, suddenly, a huge tree shadow appeared in the sky.

That is... the World Tree? !

The army of tree people stopped for the first time. They looked up at the sky in shock. That was... the appearance of their mother?!

Sean took a deep breath, then stood in front of the tree shadow and slowly opened his arms.

"Familiar?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge tree shadow that was almost supporting the sky collapsed with a loud bang!

At the root of the tree, there were countless people holding axes and chopping down. They were laughing and roaring, trying to cut down the World Tree.

"No!"

Countless tree people cried out anxiously; the sight of their mother falling down broke their hearts.

Only Master Seed roared, "That's an illusion! Wake up!"

Wu Xiao on the city wall also shouted: "Flanking attack, Jade Squad charge!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to Sean in the sky, and no one noticed that one after another imperial soldiers crawled out from the blood wriggling on the ground.

They emerged strangely from the blood of their comrades, each of them wrapped in a dizzying...bomb!

Finally, a tree man noticed this scene and cried out, "Enemy attack!"

However, what greeted the tree people team was the unbridled laughter of the man in the sky.

"Are you ready to take on this with me?"
