Chapter 507: Chief Manote

“Next, we need to gather all the resources and treasures from our tribe and secretly assemble all the geniuses…”

Swift Emperor said helplessly.

The high-ranking leaders and strong fighters silently nodded.

This decision was undoubtedly to prepare for migration.

Once they chose to retreat and escape as a tribe, it would be impossible to take every member of the Swift Tribe with them.

The time simply wasn’t enough.

All the geniuses must be taken along, as they represented the hope for the Swift Tribe’s revival and their ability to establish a foothold in the new land.

Then, they would try to take as many tribe members as possible without affecting the overall retreat plan.

Among them, high-end combatants were the priority.

Because high-end combatants would determine whether the Swift Tribe could plunder enough resources on their migration path and defeat some of the local races in their new home.

“Are there any better suggestions? Everyone speak up!”

Swift Emperor felt overwhelmed and decided to let everyone share their ideas.

The high-ranking leaders and strong fighters of the Swift Tribe diligently studied and discussed the details of their two strategic plans, striving to improve them as much as possible.

What they didn’t know was that their discussions and plans were overheard in full by the Shadow Clan informants of the Great Flame Empire’s Intelligence Organization. This information was quickly transmitted back to the intelligence organization via communication stones and provided to the high-ranking leaders of the Military Department.

…

Using ten Space Vessels, they transported the high-ranking leaders of the Spirit Heart Tribe to various life planets controlled by the Spirit Heart Tribe.

Once the seven life planets under the Spirit Heart Tribe’s control officially entered the consolidation phase, three of the Space Vessels then carried three strong teams to the life planets controlled by the Black Tiger Tribe.

These three strong teams were composed of top geniuses from the Great Flame Empire, secondary-level geniuses, and strong fighters from various tribes.

Each team was equipped with a flying treasure personally crafted by Yi Chen.

There were hundreds of human warriors and hundreds of strong fighters.

Each team also included two or more level 120 strong fighters, along with several others above level 110.

The one in charge was the commander of the Fifth Legion, War City.

This was undoubtedly a prestigious assignment.

Besides Guli, who was stationed at Colin Planet and overseeing the overall situation, the other commanders, Tai Shi, Zong Shan, and Rog, also wanted to compete for the role of commander.

The task was not too difficult, but the Military Achievements would be significant.

If everything went smoothly, many chiefs from the large tribes of the Black Tiger Tribe would undoubtedly surrender one after another.

If there were no unexpected events, unifying the entire Black Tiger Tribe would just be a matter of time.

The life planets controlled by the Black Tiger Tribe numbered more than thirty.

The Military Achievements here would be incredibly enticing for anyone.

Tai Shi, Zong Shan, and others also needed those Military Achievements.

Due to Military Achievements, they gained noble ranks.

They were now barons of the Great Flame Empire.

The next step up was the title of viscount.

In the Great Flame Empire, there was only one viscount, the high priest.

Although the Shadow King held a higher title, he was merely a ruler of the Shadow Clan, having a position in the Great Flame Empire without any competition with the high-ranking leaders there.

The reason they ultimately assigned this valuable task to War City was that he devised the entire plan.

This plan itself greatly benefited Guli and the four other legion chiefs in earning Military Achievements.

As the planner, if the entire plan was executed perfectly, War City would be closer to the position of marshal.

By giving this opportunity to War City, who did not yet hold any noble title, they helped him ascend to marshal more quickly, which was also a significant favor toward him.

Having a series of favors owed to them, once War City became their superior, he wouldn’t be able to suppress them as legion chiefs or seize power from these established leaders.

…

A day later, three teams arrived at their target planets thanks to the transport by Space Vessels.

At the same time, the Black Tiger Tribe on the three life planets remained unaware that the Great Flame Empire’s expansion plan had already begun to unfold around them.

On Polo Planet, in the Manote tribe,

“Truly worthy of the title of the light of our Black Tiger Tribe’s rise, how did Chief Nika of the Nika tribe manage to achieve this?”

Chief Manote marveled, having just set down the communication stone.

Though he was the chief of a large tribe and quite prominent in the entire Black Tiger Tribe, his awareness of information was not as keen as that of other races.

This was primarily due to the fragmentation of the Black Tiger Tribe, which made it lack the cohesive intelligence organization seen in other tribes.

While the major tribes had their information networks, their data collection mainly focused on other tribes within the Black Tiger Tribe.

They rarely sent personnel to infiltrate or cultivate insiders within other races to gather intelligence.

The news of the Spirit Heart Tribe’s complete surrender only reached him today through a friend from another tribe.

This significant news brought mixed feelings.

The good news was that the Black Tiger Tribe had produced a talent like Chief Nika.

In just a few years, he unified the entire blood-colored planet, even single-handedly defeating the coalition of the Swift Tribe and the Spirit Heart Tribe.

Even more astonishing was his miraculous deployment to Colin Planet, where his formidable and terrifying power forced the Spirit Heart Tribe to surrender entirely.

Oh my goodness!

Not even at the height of the Black Tiger Tribe’s power, when they had level 140 strong fighters, had they ever forced an entire race to surrender.

A few years ago, this chief of the Nika tribe was merely the leader of a medium-sized tribe.

To unify the whole blood-colored planet within such a short time was already miraculous; to be able to overpower both the Swift Tribe and the Spirit Heart Tribe with just one tribe was an incredible feat.

Unexpectedly, just a month or two later, he achieved another miraculous victory by forcing the Spirit Heart Tribe to surrender.

Chief Manote, an ambitious man with dreams, still had to acknowledge that compared to Chief Nika, he could only kneel and sing praises.

While he took pride in the talents emerging from his tribe, personal interests were a different matter.

The emergence of such an extraordinary talent within the Black Tiger Tribe was undoubtedly a tremendous boon for the entire tribe.

Especially with the possibility of the Undying Race ending their internal strife and coming back stronger, it presented a glimmer of hope for the rise of the Black Tiger Tribe.

However, for a large tribe’s chief, this development was a shocking disaster.

At the very least, Chief Manote’s ambition and dream to unify the Black Tiger Tribe and lead them back to greatness shattered.

What worried him even more was that the Nika tribe would inevitably instigate a war to unify the Black Tiger Tribe.

If the Nika tribe truly came to Polo Planet, as one of the most powerful forces here, what would the Manote tribe do?

Just a few hours ago, Chief Manote thought his tribe had the strength to fight back.

But after hearing about the Spirit Heart Tribe’s surrender, that confidence vanished.

Even the forces of the Spirit Heart Tribe were insurmountable for the Manote tribe, not to mention the strength of the Nika tribe, which could force the Spirit Heart Tribe into submission.

Forcing a race to surrender without a fight was theoretically more challenging than annihilating that race entirely.

Unless there was absolutely no other choice, no high-ranking leader or tribe member would willingly accept another race’s dominance.

The Nika tribe possessed the overwhelming strength to crush the Spirit Heart Tribe, which gave them the courage to surrender without a fight.

What could the Manote tribe do to resist the invasion of the Nika tribe?

Even if they united all the large tribes on Polo Planet, it would likely be a futile effort, easily crushed.

Yet, as a chief who ruled over millions of tribe members, Chief Manote found it hard to accept the idea of surrendering to the Nika tribe and becoming someone else’s subordinate.
