Mechanical Second Brother charged into battle with two Source Energy Sub-Cities transformed into shoulder cannons, firing the first attack and beginning the war.

• The Dreadful Treant Civilization deployed thousands of Tree Worlds alongside its five Giant Tree Worlds, forming a strange, dark-green forest frontline opposite Saine’s Mechanical Legion.

The Jue Teng Tree Demon mobilized the Dreadful Treant Civilization to recruit more Dominators and reinforce its advance into the Land of Exile. Despite the Wizard and Mechanical Civilizations pushing the frontline back after the Lord of Holy Spirit fled, the Treants’ network of world-sized barriers remained a formidable defense.
