Rotmen military outposts across the Ancient Forest of Gilmer were many. But they were ranked according to the level of their rot cores. Military outposts closer to the core of the Rotmen Civilization, the Rot Dungeon had rot cores with far more potent energies than new outposts that were created as the Rotmen army expanded with victories against the Woodmen. And most times, these old military outposts were manned with the strongest Rotmen who were veterans of many wars against the Woodmen. The outposts at the periphery mostly don’t have Rotmen Generals guarding them and if they had one, they were the weakest or newest Generals out there. The Rotmen General that Captain Aster’s crew killed was a mid-one in the grand scheme of things, not too exceptional but better than a lot of Generals having racked a lot of battle achievements. He loved violence and war hence gaining favor with some Rotmen upper echelons, this was why his death got to the Grand General of the Rotmen armies. The
In every military barrack spread across Woodtopia, there was a pod that was magically created through the power of the World Tree.In the military, it was called the teleportation pod.The one located inside the root of the World Tree where Elliot’s trial was held was where the Head of the Woodmen Army, Captain Bluebell stayed.Through the teleportation powers of the pod, Captain Bluebell teleported to the pod in the barracks where Captain Aster’s crew based. He went there 10 minutes ahead of time, waiting for the arrival of the captain.As soon as Captain Aster entered inside the pod, he met his superior.“Tell me everything that transpired during your expedition”.“Yes, Captain”. Captain Aster nodded and sat down.Without hesitation, he narrated the full sequence of events, not exaggerating any details and not glorifying the contribution of the Woodmen either.He presented the full details of how the Spider almost singlehandedly started and won the battle without excluding any detai
‘A Giant Sequioa huh? This guy is truly big!’Standing before this absolutely gigantic tree in Woodtopia again that Captain Aster claimed was one of the biggest in the county, Elliot could not help but stop in awe again as he admired its seemingly indomitable height.“This Giant Sequioa is different from others”. The messenger smiled.“You’ve seen the roots of the World Tree right?”Elliot nodded.“They’re just the roots but they’re so big, just try to imagine what the real tree itself looks like”.“The Professor thought of this and this birthed his idea to see if there was a way to make other trees look like the World Tree”.“It birthed the initial idea of his magic watering experiment”.“By studying the properties of water and moisture in the body veins of the World Tree, Professor Clover aimed to create similar water and sprinkle it into the veins of other trees to see if there would be a reaction”.“This Giant Sequoia is one of his success stories”.“Wow!” Elliot was impressed.Bi
[You have been affected by the soothing effects of the World Tree aura!] [Your life energy is compatible with the energy of the World Tree!] [You have entered a state of induced relaxation!] Elliot slept for only 7 hours but he was super convinced that it was the best and most relaxing sleep that he had ever had in both of his lives. He felt like a kid while sleeping. That feeling of being in the gentle embrace of your mom, that feeling of safety and relaxation, that feeling that little chicks feel under the protective feathers of the mother hen, he felt it as he slept throughout the night. ‘Damn, Elon Musk will pay billions to get sleeping conditions this good’. The next morning, waking up, Elliot saw this Woodmen military barracks enter busy mode as the different Woodmen crew got prepared to go on expeditions. Captain Aster’s crew was not the only one that went on expeditions. Every day, multiple Woodmen military crew went on dangerous expeditions into Rotmen territory despi
[You have come into contact with a Special Tonic: Viral Heat Tonic!] Elliot looked ahead at Mr. Messenger who was already far away, then hesitating for a moment, he shouted towards him. “Thank you”. Sir Zinnia raised a hand up, waving in acknowledgement. Elliot looked at the black bag and with one of his 8 legs, he tore it open only to see a small bottle containing a red liquid like blood. The only difference was that this red liquid was far thicker than blood. ‘Viral heat tonic huh?’ He no longer hesitated; he kept it in his inventory, causing some of the Woodmen to raise eyebrows in surprise at how the gift disappeared even as Elliot stared at Captain Aster to show that he was ready. “Let’s leave!” With that, the allied crew finally went on their combined expedition. On the way, that was when Elliot finally looked at his gift in detail. [Inventory Accessed!] [Inventory Slots: 1/6] [Slot 1: Viral Heat Tonic.] >Viral Heat Tonic< [This is a special tonic that was created us
[WARNING! You have strayed deep into Rotmen Territory!][WARNING! You have entered a region with thick rot energy concentration!][You have been inflicted with the following rot infection effects:]*Your health and mana recovery speed has decreased exponentially!*Injuries suffered in this region if not treated instantly will become infected, leading to rot with time.[WARNING! You have entered the den of the Rotmen Civilization!]Well, Elliot could not argue against that.These effects didn’t just affect him, it affected the Woodmen even more. With energy that was literally opposite that of the rot energy filling everywhere here, they suffered much greater debuffs.This did not deter them though, they continued ruggedly.This new region that he found himself in with the Woodmen was a true den of rot. It was far more desolate than anywhere he had visited in both of his lives; this was despite already entering Rotmen territory once before now.It felt like a massive desert but instead
Few seconds before the signal came, Captain Hyacinth felt her hands shake in worry having faced this Rotmen General and his forces before in battle. She faced her rival as she finally voiced her concerns. “Is it truly advisable to barge into a Rotmen military outpost like that after getting the signal from him?” “We’ll literally be opening ourselves up to a devastating counterattack”. Aster grinned. “I thought you were his fan, trust him”. And so, she put her fate in the hands of the 2 unlikeliest beings, her eternal rival and a Spider, a f*cking Spider. Now though, she finally understood the reason for Aster’s confidence. Thud! Thud! Thud! Charging out of their hideout behind the rock, what Captain Hyacinth saw differed so much from the reality in Rotmen territories that she was used to that she felt like she was losing her mind. She felt like she was in f*cking dreamland! The effects of the Marburg Virus already started their menace. “Ugh…!” “Grrr…!” Everywhere across a r
