Leading the legion under his command in a steady push northward, Saine finally encountered a rather troublesome battle in the third month.
His opponents were a Wild Gorilla Legion of roughly a hundred thousand and nearly three hundred thousand troops from its vassal armies.
This war took place in Qinghao Forest, one of the nine great forests of Biranssen Wilderness World.
Saine had visited this forest before. It lay north of Green Mushroom Forest and was the large forest closest to it.
Only several medium and small forests and a few plains lay between the two forests.
The lord of Qinghao Forest was a Demigod-level Silver Fir Tree.
The Low-Level Plane foundations of Biranssen Wilderness World meant that the Demigod-level Creatures born in this world far outnumbered those of Green Leaf World.

It seemed that Plant Creatures that took the form of trees were all hard bones to crack?
The same had been true during the Green Leaf
