Two days later, the giant tree was still wrapped around the Main Star, unwilling to leave.
The Federation Chief finally issued the order to attack.
In space, countless volleys of fire blasted the giant tree's body.
When the volleys struck its trunk, the giant tree went berserk.
Countless vines lashed out at the warships. Even if a vine was severed, a new one would immediately grow to take its place.
"Quick, retreat!"
"All warships, on my command—retreat!"
But by then, it was clearly too late to retreat.
The enraged tree's vines attacked indiscriminately, coiling around the warships like giant pythons to block their escape.
The endless barrage of fire only managed to sever a few of its vines and couldn't even scratch his trunk. It only served to enrage him further.
Several warships were shot down.
Fortunately, the warriors managed to board escape pods as their ships went down, and other warships were there to provide support, but there were still casualties.
