Chapter 2172 Chasing after Him
Two minutes later, sixteen streaks of faint blue transition light flashed one after another.
The sp.a.w.n warriors arrived through the transition devices.
Looking at the surrounding forest domain, the sp.a.w.n warriors exchanged glances.
Fang Heng?
No?
The location found using the sp.a.w.n positioning device.
It must be accurate.
Fang Heng must be nearby!
One of the sp.a.w.ns quickly sensed something and pointed a finger towards a tree spirit race"s simulated barrier in the distance.
"Whoosh!"
Blue ripples spread outwards in circles from the tree spirit"s fingertip.
Soon, the spreading ripples collided with the tree spirit race"s barrier, causing an interaction, and the barrier undulated like the surface of the water.
Waves of faint blue ripples appeared on the barrier.
"It"s a simulated barrier."
Meanwhile, another sp.a.w.n placed its hands in front of itself, forming a triangular gesture.
"Whoosh!"
A faint cyan beam of light shot out from the center of the triangular formation, hitting the simulated barrier ahead.
"Buzz!!"
The barrier shuddered violently.
The light beam tore the entire simulated barrier open, revealing the tree spirit race"s habitat behind the barrier.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!"
Before the sp.a.w.ns could continue their investigation, a barrage of arrows rained down from behind the simulated barrier!
"It"s the tree spirit race!"
The sp.a.w.n warriors furrowed their brows and immediately activated crystal shields around their bodies.
"Bang! Bang bang!!!"
The arrows shattered upon hitting the red crystal shields.
The war machines around the area quickly locked onto the enemy"s position and unleashed long-range light beam attacks toward the tree spirit race"s location.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!
Dense light beams bombarded the tree spirit race"s habitat indiscriminately!
"Boom! Boom boom!!!"
The light beam weapons exploded in the tree spirit race"s territory, triggering explosions.
The tree spirits" defense capabilities were low, so they did not withstand the attack directly. Instead, they retreated and took cover, firing arrows in return.
D*mn!
They were discovered!
In the barrier area, Vannes" heart sank.
The Federation was coming in full force.
And why had the sp.a.w.ns suddenly joined the battle?
As the fight broke out, and the tree spirit race"s habitat was found, the Federation immediately realized the gravity of the situation.
Just as they suspected, Fang Heng was allied with the tree spirit race.
The situation was only getting more complicated!
However, the Federation was somewhat surprised.
The tree spirit race had voluntarily exposed their habitat?
Previously, the Federation had expended immense effort but never found the tree spirit race"s headquarters.
Why had they suddenly exposed it now?
Without much thought, the Federation immediately dispatched numerous mechanized combat reinforcements through the transition pa.s.sage to support the battlefield.
More and more spatial transmission points appeared around the tree spirit race"s habitat.
The tree spirit race had entered an emergency state and were deploying all their resources to protect their home. The members were continuously shooting spells and arrows to fend off the external invasion.
"Quick, activate the emergency barrier."
"Buzz..."
A ma.s.sive blue interference barrier rose in the sky above the primeval forest.
Due to the interference, the Federation"s spatial transition mechanical units were affected, and the reinforcement speed slowed down considerably.
Since over a century ago, the tree spirit race had established layers of protection around their habitat.
The Federation would find it no easy task to conquer the tree spirit race"s habitat!
At the moment, Fang Heng was still locked up in the prison.
Hearing the explosions from the light cannons outside and the blue barrier above him, Fang Heng couldn"t help but smile.
The time had come.
It seemed the sp.a.w.ns and the Federation"s pursuers had arrived.
The tree spirit race was now fighting against the Federation.
But...
Why hadn"t Senzo come to find him yet?
...
Inside the tree spirit race"s habitat, the Great Elder Senzo felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.
He had just returned from discussing the next steps of cooperation with the Great Elder of the Root tribe and had barely had a moment to catch his breath when he heard the news of the Federation"s spatial transmission emergence.
How did the Federation find this place?!
The situation was dire, and Senzo had no time to think. He immediately brought his subordinates to the outside world to a.s.sess the situation.
Arriving at the outer periphery of the habitat, Senzo saw that the area had already erupted into war, causing his heart to sink.
Trouble!
The tree spirit race was now in direct conflict with the Federation.
He was even shocked to find sp.a.w.ns among the Federation"s transition mechanical units!
"Vannes! What"s going on?"
Vannes, leading his people in a brave fight against the invasion, saw the Great Elder Senzo arrive and quickly briefed him on the situation.
"Great Elder, we were suddenly attacked by the Federation."
In summary, Vannes wasn"t entirely sure what had happened. The Federation had suddenly appeared, found their habitat, and launched an attack.
Senzo found it increasingly puzzling.
The Federation"s actions suggested they already knew their general location and had come prepared.
Had their habitat been leaked?
Where had the information come from?
"Elder Zhang, we have requested reinforcements from the Wood and Root tribes, and they are on their way."
"Mm."
Senza hummed softly.
The relationship between the various tribes wasn"t as harmonious as outsiders might think, but since they were of the same race and had been under increasing pressure from the Federation, the tribes had temporarily set aside their differences to enhance cooperation. Therefore, they had established hidden teleportation points near each of their bases.
The tribes had agreed that if any one tribe"s habitat was attacked by the Federation, the remaining three would come to their aid.
"Before this!" Senzo pondered, still feeling that something was off, and asked, "Was anything else unusual before the Federation appeared?"
Senzo"s question triggered a realization in Vannes" mind, causing his face to change abruptly.
"What was it?"
"It"s Fang Heng! He must have led the Federation here!" Vannes suddenly felt he had found the key, gritting his teeth in frustration. "I knew it! Humans can"t be trusted!"
Senzo"s heart sank at Vannes" words, and he asked gravely, "What did you say? Fang Heng? He came?"
"Yes, he showed up a few hours ago, claiming he was looking for you. Since you weren"t here, I temporarily detained him in the prison."
Senzo took a deep breath, his gaze filled with weight.
Fang Heng had arrived just hours before the Federation, a suspicious coincidence.
He must be related to the situation.
But how had Fang Heng found their habitat?
"You stay and lead our people in resisting the Federation. The Root and Soul tribes" reinforcements are on their way. I"ve instructed Osman to prepare for evacuation. Once we repel the Federation, we will immediately relocate to the second backup gathering point. I will go check on Fang Heng."
"Understood!"
With that, Senzo hurriedly took two tribe members to find Fang Heng.
