Chapter 273 All Will Have Happiness in Battle Against Armored Monsters
Harvest month has arrived.
The bright sunlight that had been streaming everywhere was completely obscured by the dark clouds. Although it was daytime, everything was dark, as if a light, thin gray mist was swirling around the branches and leaves of every tall tree.
This usually bustling forest city was unusually quiet at this moment.
There was no more wind, no more birdsong or insect chirping, and no more of the many flower fairies that used to fly around with the birdsong and wind.
Only the mutated wind chime vines, clinging to the tree trunks as dwellings for the flower fairies' slaves, emitted their fragrance on their own. However, without the gentle breeze blowing around, the normally fresh and fragrant scent seemed to have materialized, piling up layer upon layer, becoming thick and heavy.
The air was filled with a strong, almost viscous, floral fragrance that made Shu Xin feel a little overwhelmed. She had never noticed that these bellflowers smelled so good before…
Shu Xin didn't cast any more disguise or confusion spells on herself. Instead, she let her long, shimmering hair flow and spread her dazzling wings to fly over the forest.
Normally, by this time the sun would be fully up, and even sitting in the round fruit house on the Tree of Life, she could hear the cheerful and lively songs of children floating in the incredibly bright sunlight. But right now, the city of Popomore was only gloomy and silent.
The soldiers were already stationed in the combat zone, while the civilians were busy harvesting crops in the fields, and the children had all naturally returned home.
The round, bulbous fruits hanging from the branches emitted a faint light—only under gloomy skies, when the lantern fruit, which always glows brightly in the darkness, would emit such a weak glow.
The only bright and dazzling thing in the world is the flower fairy flying in the air.
The soft glow filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, briefly illuminating the wall of fruit shells. The flower fairies, adults and children alike, who were anxiously guarding their homes, would fly over with utmost reverence and gratitude to touch that fleeting light, as if they were touching the hem of the Flower Fairy's skirt, as if they were touching the Flower Fairy's kindness.
For the flower fairies of the past, the flower fairy was almost a deity that only existed in legends.
When news spread that the Flower Fairy had descended upon the Land of Sin, even nobles would only think it was an utterly absurd rumor. But as one harvest month after another passed and new messages were delivered by caravans, the outlandish rumors gradually became real and concrete.
But what kind of place is the Land of Sin? It's the far north, incredibly cold and barren! It's said that the soil there is cursed! How could it possibly become rich, abundant, and have the air filled with the scent of honey?
When the caravan from the land of sin arrived with goods filled with space stones, the flower fairies of Bobomo City, however unbelievable it seemed, realized that the legendary flower fairy had indeed left her divine kingdom and descended upon this world full of suffering with compassion.
Seeing that the merchants from the land of sin were all tall, strong, and full of magic, and that the goods they brought were becoming more and more diverse, which flower fairy in Bobomo City hadn't dreamed that the Flower Fairy would suddenly come to their hometown?
Then the Flower Fairy really did arrive in Popomo City!
The radiant flower fairy, the great and noble flower fairy, she was so wise, she was so benevolent. She drove away the insect plagues inside and outside the city, she brought sweet spring water and soup. The flower fairies already thought they were lucky enough, but they never imagined they could be even luckier—
She blessed all the flower fairies without bias, she forgave all the flower fairies without reason, and she even abolished the magic tax without hesitation!
Everyone firmly believes that under the leadership of Fairy Shuxin, all the flower fairies, not just those in Bobomo City, but all the flower fairies in the entire city of Ganar, will have happiness.
Shu Xin was unaware that the flower fairies trusted her almost to the point of devotion. After surveying the city of Bobomo, she flew to the war zone.
Eight hundred demon warriors from the Land of Sin had already teleported over. When Shu Xin flew to the battle zone, the battle had not yet begun.
The high concentration of magic brought by the magic tide surged evenly across the entire Garnar Plain. Not only did the farmland of Popomo City reap a bountiful harvest, but the forests in the wild were also laden with fruit. Normally tiny insects became plump and large under the stimulation of magic, and birds that went out to forage happily caught insects and pecked at berries. Their feathers were brighter than before.
How wonderful! These birds don't need to worry about the phantom beasts that will attack during the harvest month. They can simply enjoy the bounty that this land offers. Shu Xin calmly withdrew her gaze. One day, the flower fairies will also live such a free and happy life.
After months of training, the flower fairy warriors lined up in formation in the combat zone, fully armed and ready to fight the "outer continent monsters" surging towards the city.
—Although the warriors have tested that they can indeed transform into incredibly tall elves after receiving the blessing of the Flower Fairy, they still need time to familiarize themselves with how to use the elf form in battle. Therefore, on the battlefield, they still use the form of flower fairies.
The atmosphere was heavy. The morning dew clinging to the tips of the grass trembled precariously. Birds, pecking at food in the grass outside the battle zone, ate their fill without a care in the world. They flapped their wings, took off, and flew away, causing the grass blades to sway. With a soft thud, the dewdrops shattered diagonally onto the solid ground, which had been marked with one magic circle after another beforehand.
It was as if dark gray waves had surged on a calm surface of water. One second the undead phantom was still taking shape, and the next second the undead phantom launched an attack.
The demons reacted faster than the flower fairies, charging forward before the little ones could even raise their magic wands.
All the hybrid demon races were creations of the battlefield. Every wing they spread was a bloodthirsty blade, and every strand of their flying hair was a noose. In the blink of an eye, the leading humanoid phantom monster collapsed and disintegrated bit by bit.
Shu Xin, who had been watching the battle below closely, finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The flower fairy warriors responded admirably. They followed closely behind, and as the phantom monster re-formed and surged forward, they all waved their magic wands. Clusters of magical radiance bursting onto the humanoid monster resembled wind chime vine buds being forced to bloom, dazzling and unrestrained.
This was the first time Shu Xin had ever seen a flower fairy dressed in magical armor. The armor covering every part of the body was complete, making the flower fairy warrior look exactly like a small tin soldier cast from metal.
The magical runes engraved on the armor are now all activated, and each warrior is radiating magical light. In front of the gray-black mist that accompanies the phantoms of the undead, they are like bright and shining stars.
In the days that followed, Shu Xin would occasionally visit the combat zone, which quickly made her realize that the Phantom Beast Tide in Popomo City was different from that in the Land of Sin—
Unlike the diverse phantom beasts that attack from the Land of Sin, the undead phantoms that appear outside Bobomo City are all humanoid monsters, and they are all the most difficult armored monsters to fight among humanoid monsters!
