In the combat meeting room of Arano, Xiao Chen was holding a meeting to listen to Tang Feng's intelligence report and Wang Jiyuan's combat plan. The dozen or so people present were either important figures in the Guards, or the backbones of various departments, and some were truly powerful saints.
"According to the information collected from various places in the past two days, our situation is not very good." Tang Feng's voice was very serious, even giving people a heavy feeling. "In the past two days, we know that 35 towns and 137 villages have been destroyed by the God of Nature. More than 5,000 people were killed and injured. Most of these villages were completely destroyed, and almost no one could escape from such an attack. Because there are such monsters everywhere in the wild. This number of casualties is a terrible number in such a vast and sparsely populated era. The remaining cities also suffered different losses.
Among them, Holy Sword City had a malfunction in its shield, and green light shone into the city, turning many animals and trees in the city into monsters. Although the monsters in the city were eventually eliminated with the help of the garrison troops and the city was saved, it suffered the greatest loss among all the major cities, with more than 800 casualties.
"It's better than I thought." Liu Yisheng said.
"With such heavy losses, you still say it's better?" Umeda asked.
"Maybe it's because we've seen too many tragic scenes in various worlds, so this disaster isn't that scary in comparison." Liu Yisheng said, "The enemies that appeared this time are all within our range of dealing with, which is still different from the God of Nature taking action himself. I've seen fire raining all over the sky, tsunamis submerging cities, meteorites in the sky, and lava underground. The God of Nature has many ways to destroy human cities, it just depends on how he wants to do it. This is why many people will eventually realize that the God of Nature is an enemy we must eliminate."
Liu Yisheng said to Mei Tiantian: "Perhaps you can find similar scenes in your memory fragments."
"I know, I have always known it. But dreams and reality are different after all. This time, in this world, we will not let him go." The girl said firmly.
Xiao Chen said: "Tell me about the impact on other countries on the continent."
Tang Feng said: "Among the major forces on the continent, the one that suffered the most losses was actually the Empire. They have the largest land area and a relatively dispersed army. They had previously experienced a civil war in which several domestic forces fought for the throne. The national strength was greatly damaged. Many large cities, including the capital of the Empire, were completely destroyed in this disaster. Moreover, the two heirs who have not yet decided the winner also died in their respective capitals. The closer the Empire is to the prosperous areas in the south, the greater the losses. Their main survivors are all in the areas close to the northern deserts and Gobi. There are no tall plants there, and animals are scarce, and there is also the Northern Legion that exists to fight against the orcs. According to our estimates, no matter what the outcome of this war is, the Empire will collapse into several smaller principalities or marquisates, and the cores of these countries are the stronger ones in the Northern Legion.
The situation in the kingdom was almost as bad as that in the empire. The capital was completely destroyed, the Royal Mage Tower was destroyed, the Temple of Nature turned into a stone giant, and smashed the entire city into ruins. Their Queen Laura was nowhere to be found, and most of the remaining large cities were also destroyed. Some mages led some nobles and retreated to several islands in the eastern sea of the continent, leaving most of the civilians in the villages and towns to fend for themselves. "
"What a rotten royal family and aristocracy." Chen Hansheng interrupted and cursed.
"Feudal society is like this. These are just natural reactions when disaster strikes, and they have no ability to resolve this crisis," said Xiao Chen.
"The Kingdom is better than the Empire in one respect. We have stationed a relatively large number of troops in the areas bordering them. We have tried our best to rescue the residents of nearby villages and towns. The villagers in these areas have had economic ties with us for a long time, and they are very willing to join us in this disaster relief effort."
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Someone should take care of this mess on the mainland."
"Most of the cities in the southern city-states were destroyed, but many of their residents fled to the sea on boats. Their casualties were the smallest among the major countries. The joint fleet led by Huang Zheng has landed there and is heading north from the south to eliminate the monsters on the road."
"Humanity is seriously hurt." Xiao Chen sighed, "What about the other races?"
Tang Feng said: "They are all fine. The least affected are the sea creatures. We have confirmed that the maximum range affected by the green light is only a few dozen meters outside the coastline. The range of the God of Nature's attack this time is not circular, but close to the edge of the continent. Moreover, these monsters generated in the sea have all come to the mainland. There is basically no impact on the ocean.
The orcs' territory is all grasslands and deserts, and the underground city where the dwarves live is only made of stone and lava. There are no plants in these places, so they will not be attacked by tree people, and there are not many animals and insects. According to what we know now, most solitary animals will not be affected by the green light because they have no place to absorb life energy. Therefore, there are even fewer mutated animals and insects in their territory. Most of the wolves on the grasslands have an impact on the orcs, but the number of wolves is limited after all. The fire ants that affect the dwarves are a kind of fire ants that live near the lava river. However, after the mutation of this fire ant, its strength is not very strong, but its number has greatly decreased. The dwarves did not have a hard time fighting. "
"What about the elves? Their place is full of trees!" asked Umeda.
Tang Feng said: "The power of the green light is not enough to affect the World Tree, and the trees in the Elf Forest are suppressed by the World Tree even after they mutated. They are not like the tree people outside who will randomly attack the surrounding targets. Instead, they are restricted to the spot by the World Tree. After the animals mutated, only some of the elves launched an attack, while the others were appeased by the elves."
"Comfort? How is it done specifically?" Liu Yisheng asked. This situation was beyond his expectations.
"I know a little about this." Xiao Chen said, "You all know that elves are a race that is very close to nature and animals. Some elves are naturally good at getting close to animals and can calm them down by singing. As these animals become stronger, they also lose their animal nature. They don't know fear and have no desire to survive, so only death can stop them. However, as long as they regain the animal instincts of foraging for food and surviving, and seeking benefits and avoiding harm, they are just some magical beasts that are stronger than ordinary animals."
Luo Ling asked curiously: "How do you know this?"
