A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 971

Chapter 971: Chapter 668 Setting Fire to the Mountain_2 Chapter 971: Chapter 668 Setting Fire to the Mountain_2 “Didn't I tell you not to move recklessly?”

Standing on a nearby branch, Gavi watched the Tree Man before her. Though she was tiny compared to the two towering trees, it didn't mean Gavi had no means to stop them.

“You are spreading the infection now! Do you want to infect the entire Supreme Forest along with the Northern Land?”

“Nonsense!”

Upon hearing Gavi, Tuke, overcome with anger, shouted loudly. Just before this, he had discovered his old friend was ill and wanted to take him to Unicorn Creek for treatment. He heard the spring water there could cure all diseases, but this little creature, popping up from nowhere, kept insisting they should not go anywhere else and even attacked the two Tree Men.

Although this little creature was small, she was as annoying as a fly, and Tuke couldn't drive her away no matter how he tried.

At that moment, his old friend's condition worsened; his normally tough body gradually grew soft, even the leaves began to decay, and every breath he exhaled smelled of rot. Nonetheless, Tuke did not give up on his old friend and was determined to save him!

“Get out of the way right now, you little pest, or don't blame me for being rude!”

“I was about to leave anyway.”

However, contrary to Tuke's expectations, the little person who had been as annoying as a fly pestering them now decisively gave up.

“My master is already here. Get ready to die, moron!”

With those words, Tuke saw the little creature disappear into the tree shadows in no time. At that moment, Tuke became more alert. Although he did not like the little person, he had to admit that the current situation was very bad. Who was her master? Did he dare to start a war with the Tree People in the Supreme Forest?

This was utterly audacious!

“——————Whoosh———-!”

Just then, Tuke suddenly heard the sound of the air whistling. The giant Tree Man turned his head toward the source of the noise, only to see several strange black metal cones flying toward them. Facing these odd objects, Tuke instinctively stepped back and raised his arms in front of him.

Immediately after, a vast firelight and explosion enveloped Tuke.

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom———-!”

A series of firelights burst forth, and the sturdy, tall Tree Man howled as he fell to the ground. His tough, huge trunk now completely blown apart, flames burning everywhere. Tuke desperately rolled on the ground, but it was of no avail; the flames only grew more vigorous. Dense Black Flame and fierce fire rose high into the air, forming an unusual bonfire amid the Supreme Forest.

“What a fool.”

Watching this scene on the monitor, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, then reached out to open the operation map.

“Everyone listen up, from here to here, burn a quarantine zone for me!”

“Are you really going to do this?”

As Duanmu Huai pointed out locations on the map, even Amelia was shocked to the point of being speechless.

“That's nearly one-fourth of the Supreme Forest!”

“Those two idiotic Tree Men wandered off, utterly spreading the infection.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

“This is the optimal safety range. Once the infection goes out of control, I will have no choice but to burn the entire Supreme Forest — which option do you think is better?”

“Uh… I think not burning is better…”

“That's impossible.”

Duanmu Huai decisively rejected Amelia's “I don't want any of it” option and issued another command to the Night Guards.

“Remember, every creature inside the isolation zone must be completely eradicated! Whether they fly in the sky or run on the ground, do not spare a single one! Anyone who dares to obstruct the Tribunal's action is a heretic, and must be executed on the spot without question!”

“Mr. Duanmu, isn't this command a bit too tyrannical…”

This got Amelia unsettled, and she quickly spoke up, while Duanmu Huai turned his head again.

“This is the way of the Tribunal. If you want to oppose, that's your business, but the Tribunal won't overlook any situation that could possibly pose a threat… We will take all necessary measures; do you understand now?”

“I…I understand.”

“Very well.”

Duanmu Huai nodded.

“Begin.”

For the creatures of the Supreme Forest, it was clearly an unlucky day. Just a second ago, they were frolicking or evading prey within the lush forest, but the next moment, the wrath of Hell rained down from the sky, turning those lovely creatures, along with the surrounding lush grass and trees, into a blazing inferno.

But it didn't end there. After the first wave of bombing, the Night Guards also descended from the sky, landing in the still-burning forest fire. Then they raised their arms, and the Polonium Flame Throwers activated, emitting heat intense enough to melt stones, sweeping through deeper into the forest and thoroughly devouring everything within, including creatures trying to escape.

“What on earth… happened?”

Tuke barely opened his eyes, looking at the burning forest before him, while his old friend had already collapsed on the ground, gasping in agony, his body covered in flames, burning.

“No–! Old friend!!”

Seeing his friend in such a dire state, Tuke hurriedly tried to extinguish the flames on him, but just then, suddenly, a dark shadow fell from the sky, flashed past Tuke, and smashed directly onto the unfortunate Tree Man, splitting it in two.

“Boom!!!”

Black Flame suddenly erupted, completely engulfing the diseased Tree Man. Tuke watched helplessly as his old friend turned to ash in the flames, his heart filled with grief. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai, shouldering the War Hammer, walked out from the remains of the Tree Man.

“What a troublesome fellow, making things so complicated…”

“It's you–!!”

Seeing the armored warrior before him, Tuke couldn't contain his rage anymore.

“You dare to burn the forest, kill my old friend! I will make you taste the wrath of the Tree People!!”

As he spoke, Tuke opened his mouth and let out a scream like a dull thunderclap.

The sound echoed throughout the Supreme Forest, and the next moment, in the seas of trees nearby, giant trees seemed to wake up and stood up.

“Well.”

Looking at this scene, Duanmu Huai's expression didn't even change.

“I just knew the plan mostly had to change.”
