Chapter 311. Beginning Of Peaceful But Busy Times. [End Of Volume Four]

A time of peace descended in the Golden Sap Province. With Liu Shu becoming the central World Tree of the place, no other group decided to attack them. Baron Lorbase became an example of what happened when someone tried to mess with her.

Of course, that didn’t mean that some smaller powers thought too much of themselves and tried some tricks on surrounding cities. However, Liu Shu’s domain now completely engulfed the province. So, anyone who was trying to make a mess in her domain would be instantly spotted. Then, her armies, now commanded by Eila Neoflora, would set out and slaughter everyone.

Naturally, things couldn’t be that easily summarized. While there was relative peace in Liu Shu’s domain for several years, that didn’t mean that there were no important events happening. On the contrary, the Golden Sap Province transformed and evolved at a terrifying pace.

First, several branches were created army-wise. As previously mentioned, Eila led the main branch of the army. Ten years of progress allowed the armies to overcome the Baron standard and be considered relatively strong even by Viscount standards.

That was the visible armies, at least. Underground, the ants became a force that no one could’ve anticipated. Their tunnels extended far and wide, and their numbers would scare anyone if they knew about it.

There were seven more branches besides Eila’s and Ignatia’s armies.

The first was a . They managed local conflicts and guarded the city walls of the province's four main cities. Their numbers were not the highest, but their influence was high. Taro controlled how this army moved and where it went.

The second branch was the . This army was at the forefront of scouting and dealing with hidden threats like bandits and beast waves. It was an army made out of relatively individual and elite groups. Wert took care of dealing with this army and used his Explorer Association Manager position to make his voice and orders be heard by this mercenary-like group.

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth branches of the army were each controlled by one of the Sylvans. During those peace years, Harmonixia easily integrated into the Golden Sap City system, reaching a level equal to Cinderielle, Verdantia, and Tempestria. These armies were called , , , and . They were controlled, respectively, by Cinderielle, Tempestria, Verdantia, and Harmonixia.

When they worked together, they were terrifying. Moreover, the number of Sylvans in these four armies was staggering compared to the rest. Even the main army led by Eila couldn’t match the number of Sylvans in one of these four armies.

Finally, Amapola led the last army called . This army was formed by the combination of all monster creatures like Fairies, Myconids, and one more race that joined recently called . These creatures were dryad-like beings of both male and female sexes. Their looks were humanoid with bark-like skin and flowery hair.

They were a race of few beings Liu Shu encountered in the White Flower Forest. After realizing their intelligence was not that bad, she communicated and helped them acclimate to her auras. Surprisingly, they developed a decent level of intelligence in less than four years. The level was enough to form part of an intelligent society, like the Rose Fairies during the first year.

After being introduced, although some people were skeptical, their calm and soothing personalities, when not bothered, proved to be very welcoming. They were excellent in any kind of work related to nature and learned quickly. Of course, their warrior population was incredibly useful as well. Their main focus was on enhancing their bodies with natural arts, making them extremely good front-liners.

With Fairies at the back dealing tons of different elemental damage, the Myconid’s support with their both beneficial and harmful pollen variations, and finally, the Batreerians holding the frontline with healing and enhancing natural arts, this army didn’t lose to the rest. Their primary operating zones were the and the edges of the . They were the ones searching for a Life Tree for the most part.

To summarize, with the
