The rain had been pouring down continuously for fifteen hours.
The outskirts of Banlo City were a combination of rainforest and swamps. The shallow wetlands had turned into ponds with green algae floating in the air.
The mud that came down from the Andes Mountains was constantly being washed over. The forests were completely submerged in the mud. There were not many places to stand.
The Brown Rebels were very used to the environment. They could use the vines in the rainforest to weave a grid.
It was like placing a strong net on the surface of water. Those who were familiar with the vines could easily walk on them.
However, the Federation's army was obviously not good at it. A large number of soldiers were stationed outside Banlo City, but they were at their wits' end when they reached the swamps and rainforest!
The country was in turmoil, like a riot. If the Federation could not stop the chaos in the limited time it took for the news to spread, it would severely damage the Federation's position.
The people might think the Federation was not the only ruler of the country. Many disloyal factions might revolt.
At that time, the Federation would really be overwhelmed.
Therefore, they had to put an end to the rebellion as soon as possible. They had to drive the Brown Rebels to the other side of the Scorching River in at least two days.
The Federation's army only had a limited amount of time.
It was especially true in the swamps and rainforest.
Even though the enemy had built trenches and forts in Banlo City, the Federation's army could still take the city after a fierce attack.
However, in the swamps and rainforest, they might be trapped in the swamps and rainforest before they could even see the enemy.
The Federation's army would be restricted by the swamps.
It was not something that could be solved with numbers alone.
…
The Federation's army had no choice but to move out after four hours of preparation under the pressure of the Federation's leaders.
The Brown Rebels did not stop them as soon as they set foot in the swamps.
As the army advanced into the swamps, some cunning Mages showed up. They used Water and Earth Spells to restrict the movement of the Mages and separate the main army from the vanguard.
The Brown Rebels' Wind Warships were able to move freely in the swamps. They targeted the troops that were separated from each other.
Two hours after entering the swamp, the federal army realized that the situation was not good and quickly retreated.
However, despite their fast reaction, only one third of the federal soldiers were left in the swamp. They did not even touch the enemy's hair during the whole process.
"Asking an Ice Magician to freeze the entire rainforest?"
"Then we'll have to hire an Ice Forbidden Mage."
"These cunning brown weasels are deliberately sending us to our deaths in the swamp forest!"
"Then what should we do? Our superiors have given the order. We have to enter the swamp and reach the campsite, but I don't think we can survive, "said a Mage with disheveled hair.
For a moment, the captains of the various teams in the Freedom Corps were all talking at once. Everyone realized that they were being pushed forward by the Federation with weapons in hand, but the front was filled with enemy crossbows and arrows!
"What are you afraid of? The rain forest is our territory. Follow me and destroy their camp. Let's show them who the real ruler of the Scorching River is!" Captain Black Chimpanzee slammed the table and said firmly.
"Our domain? Commander Mason, do you have any idea how we can avoid being restricted by the swamp? "a captain with disheveled hair asked.
"As long as you follow my lead, victory will be ours!" Mason declared.
Mo Fan was planning to listen to Captain Black Chimpanzee's opinion, but he could not help but slap himself on the head when he saw how confident Captain Black Chimpanzee was.
Did the man really think he was possessed by a god again?
"Mofan, it's unlikely that idiot will win the battle in the swamp. We have over a thousand men in our group. We won't be able to make it far without them," Mubai said to Mofan in a low voice.
"I know, but I don't really like fighting in an environment like this. The rain and swamp are restricting my Fire Element. The trees, vines, and algae are hindering my Lightning Element, too," Mofan said.
The plants in the rainforest were too lush, which served as a huge barrier for the enemy. Mo Fan's lightning would have to penetrate all the obstacles in order to land on the enemy, as long as the enemy was weaving through the plants.
Under such circumstances, his Lightning Element would be a lot weaker than in an open area.
"What about your Seeds of Vengeance? Can they still be used?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"They can, but the problem is, the enemy is hiding behind the trees or on the vines. The thorns won't necessarily kill the enemy," Mubai said.
"Yeah, I bet these Mages will die before they even see the enemy. The Seeds of Vengeance will simply detonate on the spot," Mofan agreed.
Captain Black Chimpanzee came up to them while the three were discussing among themselves.
"What are you three still mumbling about? Are you scared? You are wearing military uniforms, and you have a few Intermediate Mages under your command. You have to be worthy of the Federation's help! "Captain Black Chimpanzee said.
"Sir, even though you are under the protection of Forneus, she isn't the kind of woman who would sit on the couch and watch your show while munching on sunflower seeds. She will occasionally take care of her followers. Wouldn't it be a pity if something happened to you while she was changing the channel? "Zhao Manyan said to Colonel Mason.
Colonel Mason agreed with Zhao Manyan's words.
"So?" Colonel Mason asked.
"So, we can't just step into the enemy's trap recklessly. We have to come up with a plan to deal with the enemy," Zhao Manyan said.
"So what's your humble opinion?" Colonel Mason raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Manyan's face darkened.
I'm your grandpa's humble opinion.
It was such a pain to talk to an idiot like him!
"The plants are so dense in the rainforest, and the rain and mist are blocking our vision. If it's so difficult for us to find the enemy's hiding spot, how did they know we were here? "Zhao Manting explained slowly.
"I understand what you're trying to say now!" Colonel Mason blurted out. "We can cut down the plants and disperse the rain and mist!"
Zhao Manting immediately swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
My Heavens!
Even the chimpanzees in the zoo were smarter than this guy!
Could he even cut down the entire rainforest?
