"War is 90% information. Until now, we were flying blind, unable to clearly estimate the power of these backwoods villagers. No longer will that be the case. I took the liberty of purchasing a Twin Gravesap to watch, live, as the battle plays out. They know, as well as we do, that if this base is allowed to be built, their loss is certain. I expect to see them use everything they have, and when they do, we will know everything there is to know about our enemies. Come, have a seat… And watch the beginning of the end."
A Twin Gravesap!

It had a single, eight-foot-tall straight body from which branches shot out in multiple places at perfect right angles.
Thank you so, so much for all the responses, guys! They literally moved me to tears. I feel so lucky and blessed to have such excellent and supporting readers! Thank you!
Like I said, delay in release was due to some final plotting I had to do. I will be going forth with my plan, so it's full steam ahead from here!
Stay tuned for more! Next 2 chaps, same time tomr!
