Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 609 Give me more power!

Lin Mo was taken aback upon hearing this, but his face immediately lit up with joy.

He ran over quickly and took out several hundred energy crystals from his spatial ring, placing them beside the tree stump.

These energy crystals were for replenishing his magic consumption; he took them all out, except for a few dozen he kept for emergencies.

Seeing this, Elder Ed cast a spell to cause the roots of the World Tree to spread out from under the ice and cover the energy crystal.

The energy crystals are shrinking and decreasing in number at a rate visible to the naked eye.

It's absorbing!

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was effective.

He raised his wrist and directly connected to the communication with Chen Jianguo, the city lord of Tianyong City.

The communication was established very quickly.

Chen Jianguo's voice came through: "Commander Lin?"

Lin Mo suppressed his emotions and asked:

"Lord Chen, what's the deal with the World Tree?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication.

Chen Jianguo clearly knew that Lin Mo had already seen it, so he lowered his voice and explained:

"At that time, the demon god Cho'Gath rushed to the surface defense line."

"Our missile sites, unmanned firing positions, and armored units are all blocking it."

"But... we couldn't stop it."

"It saw the World Tree, and then attacked directly, breaking the main trunk with a single punch."

Lin Mo remained silent, his anger burning within him.

Chen Jianguo continued:

"At that time, all surface troops were attacking it desperately."

"But conventional firepower is almost unable to penetrate its defenses."

"We did our best."

Chen Jianguo's voice was filled with guilt.

"Commander Lin, I'm sorry."

"In that situation, we simply had no way to save it."

Lin Mo closed his eyes.

He knew it wasn't Chen Jianguo's fault.

In that situation, both the Tianxiong and Tianyong underground cities were almost destroyed.

The soldiers on the surface positions have already risked their lives to stop them.

It's not that they don't want to protect it, it's that they can't.

"I see."

Lin Mo's voice was a little hoarse.

Chen Jianguo then said:

"The nine fruits of life that the World Tree bore have already been picked ahead of schedule."

"Although the tree was lost, the fruit of life is still here, which is a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Lin Mo's tense heart relaxed a little.

The nine fruits of life are still there.

This at least means that the value left by the World Tree has not completely disappeared.

But looking at the fallen giant tree in front of him, he still felt a tightness in his chest.

This is not just a simple loss of resources; it's a hope that has been crushed by a demon!

Chen Jianguo seemed to know he was upset, and said in a low voice:

"Commander Lin, we will recover as much of the wreckage here as possible."

"As long as there is even a little bit of use, nothing will be wasted."

At this moment, Fendona spoke, pointing to the energy crystal on the ground that was being rapidly absorbed:

"Lin Mo, that's not enough!"

Lin Mo looked over and saw that in the time it took to make a phone call, two-thirds of the small mountain of hundreds of energy crystals had already been absorbed.

There was no reaction at the broken point of the World Tree, indicating that there is still a large energy gap.

Lin Mo looked around at everyone.

"Gentlemen, may I borrow your energy crystals?"

Just as Kyle, Warwick, Fendona, and the others were about to make a move, Elder Ed shook his head.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

Dwarves are known for their bluntness, and one seventh-tier dwarf said directly:

"What's wrong? You can't even bear to part with your long ears?"

Lin Mo hadn't expected anyone to refuse outright, assuming it was due to concerns about potential losses, so he said:

"Don't worry, everyone, no matter how much it is, our Great Xia will definitely repay it."

Elder Ed waved his hand and said:

That's not what I meant.

Lin Mo was puzzled.

"What's that? Isn't it still alive? It should recover once it gets some energy, right?"

Ed nodded.

"Yes, that's right."

He didn't keep them in suspense and continued:

"It is no longer a seed or sapling; it only needs a small amount of energy crystals to grow and survive."

"It has grown up, and its energy requirements to sustain life will naturally increase."

"Moreover, it suffered such severe damage..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately understood.

Just like human babies, they only need to drink some milk, which is completely incomparable to the amount of food an adult needs.

Moreover, after surgery, people need a lot of nutrition to recover.

The World Tree is in Terra, and it grows on a vein of energy crystals, which shows how much demand it has every day.

Even on Earth, the Great Xia built multiple reactors to support this behemoth.

Thinking of the reactor, Lin Mo immediately recalled the several reactor devices that were placed under the World Tree when he planted it.

He immediately spoke into the still-connected communicator on his wrist:

"Lord Chen, is the reactor beneath the World Tree still operating?"

Chen Jianguo said to wait a moment, seemingly confirming the information.

A few seconds later he said:

"Due to the invasion of the demon race, the reactor under the World Tree lost communication with the data center. To ensure the safety of the reactor and the World Tree, a safety device was installed."

So, I'm not working right now.

Lin Mo immediately replied after hearing this:

"The World Tree urgently needs a large amount of energy; you must immediately activate the reactor to restore power!"

Chen Jianguo said:

"Understood! We are already attempting to re-establish contact with the reactor. Work orders will be issued!"

"Okay!" Lin Mo said.

I'll wait for your message.

The communication was disconnected.

A cold wind swept across the icy plains, and the fallen World Tree emitted a faint rustling sound from its branches, like a belated sigh.

Fendona stood beside the tree trunk and gently wiped the corner of her eye.

She pulled on Lin Mo's wrist with a slight force.

"Lin Mo..."

Lin Mo turned his head, gently patted Fendona's little hand, and did not answer.

He looked up into the distance, where the gray sky met the ice field.

It was also in the direction of the demons, he said:

"The World Tree will not have fallen in vain."

"Those who fought on the surface will not have died in vain."

He turned around and looked at the powerful figures from various races of Terra.

"Gentlemen."

"Next, we'll wipe out the surface demons, starting here, and drive them out of Antarctica!"

Thorin grinned and slammed his warhammer heavily onto the ice.

"That's right! These disgusting things shouldn't live in this world!"

Kyle raised his staff, the magic crystal gleaming at its tip, and said coldly:

"The heretical demons deserve to be purified!"

At that moment, the communicator on Lin Mo's wrist vibrated; it was Chen Jianguo.

"Commander Lin, the connection with the reactor has been re-established, it has been restarted, and operations have resumed."

After the call connected, the other party immediately shared the good news, and Lin Mo was overjoyed.

"Great, increase the power!"

"It urgently needs a large amount of energy to recover!"

"Understood!" Chen Jianguo said, and the communication ended again.

Lin Mo turned around, preparing to tell everyone that the World Tree's energy problem had been solved, when he saw many powerful figures of the seventh and sixth ranks looking at the ground.

They are powerful and can sense many unusual situations.

Lin Mo was curious about what was wrong. A thought flashed through his mind, and his expression immediately turned serious. He asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Have demons infiltrated underground?"
