Chapter 490 Way out

Chapter 490  Way out

Planet Greenland--unknown location

There is nothing here in sight but darkness...

No wind, no little birdsong, nothing at all.

*Vrooom*

At this moment, a luminous ball appeared

"That bastard, I can't believe Hoffenheim brought us here again! I haven't been able to sleep for even one year since the last time."

*Vrooom* *Vrooom* *Vrooom*

"What does he want now?"

*Vrooom* *Vrooom*

"I suggest we remove him from the council temporarily."

A few more balls began to appear successively, forming a ring as they directly engaged in dialogue without introductions. In the blink of an eye, the place that was ruled by blackness was now illuminated by the light of six huge orbs of close size.

*Vroom*

"Oh, Have I disturbed your lordships? Good. For this time I will accept no refusal." Finally, a seventh orb appeared that caught everyone's attention, "Send me support immediately, this is not a request!"

That orb was noticeably smaller compared to the rest, basically, no comparison since it was roughly 10% the size of any one of the other six!

Those were the manifestations of the souls of the seven Tree Fathers.

"..Hehe, I'm still not used to your new look, Hoffenheim." A laughing sound emitted from one of the six orbs

Those were the manifestations of the souls of the seven Tree Fathers.

"Laugh, laugh as much as you like… If those people landed in your dominance, I would have been the one laughing right now." The small orb made no expression, but its vibrations clearly indicated anger

"Landed? Hmph, that old thing still wants to give the impression that they are from another world to make us send reinforcements now and ignore the agreement."

"But they are!!" Hoffenheim yelled, "From where do you all think they appeared of a sudden? Have they been hiding under the ground of one of the human tribes for so long? Can't you all see through this basic truth?"

"Hoffenheim, just say what you have to say. And watch what you say because if you bring us together to ask for help again without a valid reason that makes us break the agreement then I'm afraid we'll have to punish you. You know about our need for sleep and how much your nonsense irritates us, What, because you haven't been able to sleep for years, You want to disturb us too so we don't get ahead of you in the refining process?" The largest spirit ball has spoken

"Why did you bring the refinement into the matter? Are you saying that a few years will affect the process that has been going on for more than two hundred years? What a joke! If you want a reason to punish me, find another one!" Hoffenheim shouted and then returned to look at everyone, "I have lost 30% of the western part of my domination circle and now a complete siege is being placed around me and they are approaching me day after day from all directions. If the situation continues as it is, I will only manage to survive a few more years, and the damage that will befall me will be irreversible!"

"So? ...Hoffenheim, we are not the best of friends, my dear. It is just that we have an agreement to finish off the rest of the creatures before we return to slaughter each other! But that agreement says that we only have to save the Tree Father in distress when 90% of all his forces are destroyed. Why should we help you before the condition is fulfilled? If you cannot defend your land, leave it to someone who can! Give me a quarter of your lands and I will send my army to help defend against that invader for sure haha"

"I, Flores, agree with the rest... When the attack occurred against me a while ago and I asked for help, I received support after 93% of my forces were destroyed and most of my lands were invaded, and even after having to use a wizard. and everyone who participated in supporting me took parts of my land until they left me owning something like a farm, and now after about 190 thousand years of war, I am still the least of you in whether lands or strength of the army because of that war... Why should I help you to preserve your forces and lands? I support enforcing sanctions on Hoffenheim!"

"You... You all are waiting for me to be weakened to plunder my land? How will I regain the strength of my soul and how can I still support the refinement process without my lands? And if I stay like this, you lot will finish me off sooner or later, what disturbance? Say you simply want to kill me!" Tree Father Hoffenheim shouted back, "My buds are crumbling and my lightning bolts are useless because the enemy doesn't fly. I can't stop that army without using the wizards! Do you think I'll wait until they take all my land and kill all my buds before I do something? In your dreams!"

This is the third time he asked for support from the other Tree Fathers, but there was no response in each

The first time was four years ago when the True Beginning Empire's full army first set foot on the planet, then he asked for a meeting to explain that it was an army that came from another world and that it wanted immediate support since it was fighting on behalf of the whole world, but they rejected it on the pretext that they would only abide by the ancient agreement.

The second time was three years after the start of the war, and after about two hundred million buds were killed and millions of square kilometers were taken from him. But he was still rejected for the same reason, not leaving even a small opportunity to take the new facts into account.

"You want to use your wizards? Is that a threat, Hoffenheim?" The tone of the owner of the largest luminous orb completely changed

"Not a threat, I'm only telling you what will happen! If you lot don't give me a way out, I'll use my wizards, and I won't use just one either!" Hoffenheim stepped back a bit and turned his gaze towards the only luminous sphere whose owner had yet to speak, "Why don't you speak, Descartes? Those fools probably can't imagine what's going on with me, but there's a legion of these invaders attacking your borders right now, why don't you talk about those monsters? You should know that you'll definitely be next once they are done me!"

"...They really are strong." The owner of that luminous sphere spoke, "Though they have not penetrated into my domination circle, they advance steadily and build trenches and cut down my roots on a weekly basis. They already took about 5% of my domination circle."

"5% in four years? That doesn't sound so bad..." commented the owner of one of the other glowing orbs

"He fights one legion while I fight nine of them, plus the full forces of the Northern Fury, Plains, and Nightbirds tribes!!" Hoffenheim shouted at the top of his voice, not sure if the Tree Fathers here became stupid or just acting this way.

But he did not find a reaction, not even a voice of objection... Even Tree Father Descartes went silent.

Hoffenheim seemed to understand something and spoke slowly, "So it is like this... You agreed to eliminate me, huh? It's time to have six Tree Fathers instead of seven, HUH?"

When he didn't hear an answer again he started laughing hysterically, "HAHAHA you idiots, do you think I'll be killed before all my fangs and claws are broken? Don't you want help? Alright then, I have one more way to try, if it doesn't work... Then let the wizards be released!"

"Hoffenheim, WAIT!!" The other six orbs shouted in one breath

But the smaller ball among them was gone...

Inside the imperial tent - On the steep hill

*crack crack*

The floor of the tent began to crack as the trash everywhere began to be thrown left and right, while roots emerged from under the ground and began to be formed to take on a shape resembling buds.

After a few seconds that rooted bud looked around until he found a human sitting on the bed in a meditation position, so he turned his whole body towards him and took two steps, "We need to talk, human."
