Chapter 9
The Rift Valley in the southeast of the Light Domain is the border area between the Tide Lotus Alliance and the Shadow Vine Alliance.
The soil here is moist and the terrain is complex, and the two forces have long been vying for control of the wetlands.
As is customary in previous years, a brief battle for water resources would break out here, but this time, 237 decided to "ignite" the dark web ahead of schedule.
Sprout 12 brought back crucial intelligence—
The Lotus Alliance of Tide Marsh plans to build a wet canal at the northern end of the Rift Valley in three days, leading directly to their spore ponds.
Once the wet canals are established, they will have a stable water source for an entire season, and the Shadow Vine Alliance will inevitably retaliate.
This means that the Light Domain will usher in a controllable "external conflict stage".
237. Quietly sink your consciousness into the root network.
She could sense that the Dark Web's sensory tendrils had already woven into an invisible net beneath the Rift Valley.
This network connects the roots of three forces—the Light Domain, the Tide Lotus Alliance, and the Shadow Vine Alliance—but none of them realizes that they have actually “shared” the breath of the underground soil.
On the day of the conflict, less than a third of the wet canal in Shionuma had been dug when the guerrilla vines of the Shadow Vine quietly appeared on the southern edge of the wet canal.
The two sides engaged in a chaotic struggle on the ground, with mud and water splashing and roots colliding, creating a tense and noisy scene.
237 whispered:
"Sprout, confirm that no one can see my root system at the boundary."
Sprout 12 splits open its pod, smiling like a green bean swaying in the wind:
"It's so clean, you can't even find a single leaf."
The next instant, 237 initiated the root vein reversal—
She first locked the surface vines of the Shadow Vine Alliance, making them mistakenly believe that the robbery had been successful. Then, she secretly cut the sand vein water lock below the wet channel, guiding the water flow through the sand vein wet flow channel that had been buried beforehand, heading straight for the core of the light domain water storage vein.
Almost simultaneously, she released root pressure fluctuations, causing the soil at the bottom of the fractured valley to briefly bulge, as if it were a small earthquake.
turn out--
The wet canal dried up instantly, as if the water had been swallowed up by the underground.
The water level in the spore ponds of the Chaozhao Lotus Alliance began to drop inexplicably;
The Shadow Vine Alliance mistakenly believed that Shionuma was luring them into a trap, so they intensified their offensive.
In less than half an hour, the boundary between the Tide Marsh and the Shadow Vine was completely unbalanced. The wetland turned into a large area of exposed mud valleys, and the roots of both were exposed to the air, losing the support of humidity and beginning to wither.
Meanwhile, the water storage core of the Light Domain has quietly filled to its highest water level in a single season.
Sprout 12 stood at the edge of the Rift Valley, watching the two factions accuse each other in the mud, and couldn't help but shake its pod:
"You are a devil."
237 gently retracted its root system underground, the sound calm:
"This is a warning. The real war has not yet begun."
Three days later, news of the Rift Valley incident spread throughout the entire continent.
The Shionuma Lotus Alliance issued a strong protest to the Shadow Vine Alliance, while Shadow Vine accused Shionuma of deliberately damaging the wet canals.
The only one that wasn't suspected was the Light Domain.
On the contrary, due to the unusually abundant water reserves, Guangyu proposed a "water resource sharing proposal" at the subsequent Plains Conference, which gained the support of some neutral forces.
Sprout 12 quietly handed 237 a dried bean pod under the conference table. Inside were some words engraved:
"You won the first round."
