Uchiha Madara looked left and right, only then realizing that the white-haired, short-haired Female Officer who had just been there was nowhere to be seen.
A few dark lines appeared on his head. Uchiha Madara felt as though he had been played.
He had originally thought that this woman summoned the so-called special forces to deal with him. It turned out she merely wanted to distract him so she could make her own escape.
On second thought, Uchiha Madara had assumed this Female Officer was a die-hard loyalist of the Revolutionary Army. Now it seemed that wasn't the case; seeing that things had gone south, she, too, would flee.
In a place beyond Uchiha Madara's line of sight, the Female Officer from just moments ago was stealthily making her escape, avoiding detection.
After the leader of the Revolutionary Army was struck down on the spot, and after all other high-ranking Revolutionary Army members fled, she, having tried to stop them repeatedly and finally realizing Uchiha Madara was an irresistible force, decisively fled.
Although she fled decisively, this Female Officer, who had always been extremely confident in and even loyal to the Revolutionary Army, found it hard to avoid a wave of despondency upon seeing the disgraceful spectacle of the Revolutionary Army's high command scattering and fleeing.
As her thoughts drifted aimlessly, the Female Officer accelerated her pace, stealthily exiting the chaotic Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base in just a few movements.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara, within the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base, was displeased because the Female Officer he found interesting had escaped.
He stood rooted to the spot, looking at the corpses and severed limbs around him, and the soldiers fleeing in panic in the distance, a frown creasing his brow.
As the saying goes, "A centipede dies but never stiffens." This idiom was quite fitting for the Revolutionary Army. Such organizations always possessed cockroach-like vitality. Although their leader was killed and they suffered heavy losses, it wouldn't be long before they might elect a new leader and come looking for trouble.
Uchiha Madara was certain that while this was the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base, there were undoubtedly more such deeply entrenched bases. Therefore, it would be all too easy for the Revolutionary Army to rise from the ashes again.
To avoid future trouble, Uchiha Madara had to thoroughly and decisively cripple them in one go.
Having made up his mind, Uchiha Madara activated the unique sensory secret technique of the Uzumaki Clan, the Mind's Eye of Kagura, and began to probe the entire Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base.
Under Uchiha Madara's perception, although they had suffered heavy casualties, a considerable number of soldiers remained.
Moreover, those fleeing high-ranking Revolutionary Army members seemed to believe that the Female Officer could stall Uchiha Madara. One by one, they didn't immediately flee, but were instead gathering their respective finances and other important items, rallying the remaining scattered soldiers, and preparing to escape.
Uchiha Madara absolutely had no intention of "letting the tiger return to its mountain" (letting an enemy escape to cause future trouble).
Having made up his mind, Uchiha Madara, with his eyes transformed into the Rinnegan, soared into the sky, slowly hovering high above the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base, looking down from above.
Within his Rinnegan eyes, Uchiha Madara harbored no mercy, and immediately activated Wood Release!
"Wood Release! Deep Forest Emergence!"
As Uchiha Madara let out a low roar, the ground of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base began to rumble and tremble.
The high-ranking Revolutionary Army members who were gathering their belongings and preparing to escape were horrified. Like startled birds, they rushed out one after another to check and demand what was happening.
However, it was already too late.
Massive trees grew out of the ground, densely packed, leaving no escape!
The rising trees first shattered and demolished all the buildings and structures of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base, then grew tall, transforming the entire Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base into a vast forest. Following that, they began to strangle the lives within.
Each tree seemed to have eyes, extending and spreading towards the people inside, instantly crushing them with immense force without a word!
Whether it was the Revolutionary Army soldiers or the high-ranking Revolutionary Army members, before their trembling gaze, the trees throughout the entire forest rioted! All of them lashed out, strangling both themselves and the people around them!
Those who were injured and terrified, without the ability to resist, were the first to suffer, promptly being strangled by the trees into a pile of minced flesh.
Witnessing the gruesome deaths of these individuals, those who still possessed the ability to protect themselves went mad, for no one truly wanted to die, right?
Picking up their respective weapons and employing their various techniques, they began to resist.
However, facing the rampaging Deep Forest Emergence, their struggles were futile.
Just when they managed to hack and sever one tree, another tree would immediately entangle and strangle them, making it impossible to watch their front and back, or their left and right, throwing them into disarray and ultimately leading to their complete demise!
This was the fate of the ordinary Revolutionary Army soldiers; they died a bit later.
Those who died earlier than the Revolutionary Army soldiers were the high-ranking Revolutionary Army members.
These useless bureaucrats, who normally only knew how to vie for power and personal gain, how could they possibly resist such a crisis? One by one, they shrieked in terror, clutching their treasure chests, ordering their subordinate soldiers to save them.
But their own soldiers were already too busy saving themselves, how could they spare them any aid?
Amidst the layers of strangling trees, these so-called 'people above others' died quite quickly, and none of their bodies remained intact!
Only two people managed to escape the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base and this rampaging forest in time.
One was the Female Officer from before, with refreshing, fair, short hair. She was climbing the mountains surrounding the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base, periodically looking back at the terrifying sight of the forest raging behind her, the screams of the Revolutionary Army soldiers echoing in her ears.
She no longer looked back; she couldn't bear to imagine what the Revolutionary Army's fate was now. No matter what, she had to escape. Even if the Revolutionary Army was destroyed, leaving her and her subordinates and comrades behind, she could at least still resist the oppression of the Empire.
Besides her escape, another person also managed to get out.
That was the Cloaked Girl with the Imperial Arms of divination.
This Cloaked Girl, as early as when Uchiha Madara and the Revolutionary Army started fighting, had performed a divination for herself, and the result was also highly inauspicious.
What was there to hesitate about? Taking advantage of the chaos, she immediately quietly fled.
At this moment, covered by her cloak, she hid behind a large rock, listening to the horrifying screams emanating from the Revolutionary Army Headquarters Base, her small face pale, her heart pounding with fear as she gasped for breath.
