Chapter 585: Chapter 391: Current Situation in the Tree Domain
Mechanical Giant Spirit God, having arranged matters regarding the Breeding Armor Heavenly Generals, Tian Jiaxuan and his team did not stay long with Su Han, eager to test the properties of the new metal and contemplate how to integrate it with current research.
In fact, the initial encounter with the metal had brought such a great surprise.
They didn’t even have time to share all their ideas with Su Han.
Whether it was the Mechanical Giant Spirit God or the Breeding Armor Heavenly Generals, these were still individual soldier-grade items, merely branches of war machinery.
If there was enough metal, perhaps they could construct exotic war machines.
Such as more powerful tanks, city walls, gun turrets, spider-type troop carriers…
...
War weapons were varied, and if they could be deployed in battle, their impact in certain situations would be no less significant than individual soldier equipment.
However, this all required time and effort to research.
Fortunately, among the survivors previously transported from various bases, a significant number were scientific researchers and many were military-industrial technicians, so they now had considerable manpower to expand their research.

Duchuan City wilderness area
“Flying Dragon Insects position ready, begin dispersing Ancient Tree Crystals, clear the mountain fog.”
Groups of Flying Dragon Insects, each carrying three hundred Locust Bat Insects, took off, each Flying Dragon Insect ridden by a Second Order Insect Warrior, guiding their direction.
On the Flying Dragon Insects were bags filled with Ancient Tree Crystals, packed to the brim with hundreds of them, all meant for use on these barren mountains.
As every major city and county town gradually constructed Star Torch Trees, a part of the southern Spiritual Energy survivors, having learned of the Tree Domain Troops’ movements, voluntarily joined the ranks, undoubtedly speeding up the overall pace of the campaign, especially the forging of Star Torch Trees.
The more Star Torch Trees, the clearer the fog in the cities becomes, conserving more Ancient Tree Crystals that could be used in wilderness clearing.
Zhang Di, with his dark insectoid limbs, held a telescope and said to his Insect Warrior subordinate behind him, “Ground troops can follow up, Ice Sturdy Bull Insects, Knife Insects lead the way, coordinate the advance with the Pioneer Troops.”
“Yes.”
His subordinate, having received the orders, his face gradually covered by black carapace, clad in Breeding Armor, then swiftly ran towards the distance, ready to execute the commands.
Zhang Di was an Armed Forces soldier stationed alone in Tianshan, had once lost an arm, and now, equipped with insect limbs, had joined the Insect Warrior Troops.
“It’s quickening, now that the Insect Legion has joined the expansion, the speed of reclaimation will increase significantly.”
His eyes flickered, as if a flame burned within, and after descending from the watchpost, he knew his life had another purpose: to save more survivors.
With each Ancient Tree Crystal falling, the fog gradually dissipated, and teams coordinated with Insectoid Titans, one by one entering the barren mountains.
The light startled numerous monsters, and combat erupted immediately at the frontline.
Ice Sturdy Bull Insects held the front line, Knife Insects aided in killing, Spiritual Energy bullets pouring continuously.
Meanwhile, another force about three to five meters tall, their bodies covered in red carapaces and half-human in form, charged at the forefront, single-legged scythe swinging, chest-mounted insect cannons firing, ceaselessly reaping the lives of monsters.
These were the Breeding Armor Heavenly Soldiers, a special squad provided to the Pioneer Troops by the research center.
….
Sanjiang Water System, a great number of Water Tiger Scorpion Worms carrying Ancient Tree Crystals downstream.
In the water, giant Whale Worms lined up, their bodies already embedded with alloy armor and equipped with corresponding carriers and seats, having been transformed into troop transport units.
Nearly fifty to sixty meters in length, the enormous Whale Worms in the water were no smaller than some large boats or even ships.
On the outskirts of Sanjiang, towering walls were clearly visible, rising two to three hundred meters like mountains, steep and rugged, visibly still under construction.
“Speed up the clearing of the water system; this place will become our first line of defense in the Tree Domain and also our core transport waterway.”
Zhao Ming, clad in grey-blue Breeding Armor Heavenly Soldier attire, his body full of gill-like slits, limbs webbed, claws sharp, resembled a half-human fish monster.
“Yes, Captain.”
As his command spread, large numbers of Whale Worms and shore troops began to move downstream, then clearing out the monsters in the water, gunfire sounding on both banks.
Continuous monsters surged from the shore areas, but the ground troops were also providing cover, continuously killing the monsters.
Zhao Ming, originally from the Shanjiang City Guard, was most familiar with this area and had a wealth of combat experience. With a wave of his hand, he ordered several Breeding Armor Heavenly Soldiers behind him to engage, suppressing the resistance of the monsters in the water.
He murmured to himself, “Can’t let down the Lord’s expectations.”
His gaze swept over the towering walls, rising from the ground, constructed of rock and soil, his methods once revered as divine by many survivors that day.
….
The entire Tree Domain was now constantly expanding around each city, clearing monsters, rescuing survivors, relocating, and then repairing infrastructure.
The number of survivors kept growing, and along with population transfers from several bases, the total population had now increased to six million.
This was a critical juncture.
With six million people as the foundation, centralized around cities, livestock raising, agriculture, and other production activities had already begun to recover on a large scale.
Just as Su Han and Li Wenyuan had anticipated, the southern region was now becoming humanity’s major rear zone.
“Just over a month, and the power of this faith and emotions has already grown so strong?”
What do you think?
