Chapter 563: The Hidden Danger of the Allied Forces

After ending the call with Marquises Hippo, Duke Farah considered and contemplated for over an hour before finally issuing the order for the elite army to slowly withdraw to the major life planets.

At the same time, he sent messages to the strongest members of the Flying Wolf Tribe, Poxin Tribe, and Cangyu Tribe, announcing that due to special reasons, they could not fulfill their agreement and would not be able to send troops to decisively suppress the army of the Great Flame Empire in the short term.

As for the specifics of these special reasons, Duke Farah certainly did not explain.

Upon receiving the news, the strongest members of the three tribes were all dumbfounded, completely bewildered.

No one expected that the Undying Race would suddenly go back on their word after already agreeing.

They were happily waiting for the Undying Race army to arrive and decisively suppress the Great Flame Empire, only to face this kind of outcome.

This sudden twist forced the strongest members of the sixteen tribes to gather again using special treasures and communication stones.

“Have you all found out why the Undying Race suddenly refused to send troops?”

Seeing that all the strongest members had arrived, the strongest member of the Cangyu Tribe could not help but ask.

According to the shared intelligence, the major life planets of the Undying Race showed clear signs of the elite army being mobilized after Duke Farah’s agreement.

Although they couldn’t find out where these elite troops were heading, it was fairly certain that the Undying Race was indeed mobilizing their elite army to prepare to suppress the Great Flame Empire’s forces.

Days had passed, and under normal circumstances, the elite army of the Undying Race should have nearly completed their mobilization. How could they suddenly declare they would not send troops?

“It could be that there is a serious issue with the internal conflict in the Undying Star System, requiring Duke Farah to send a large number of strong fighters and elite troops to participate,” the Leader of the Giant Ant Tribe said, shaking his head. “It’s also possible that the Great Flame Empire received news and sent the Black Tiger Tribe pirate group to disrupt things or assassinate the strong fighters of the Undying Race.”

“Just like when the Swift Tribe and Spirit Heart Tribe formed an alliance to attack the major life planets of the Black Tiger Tribe. The Great Flame Empire caused chaos with just one Black Tiger Tribe pirate group, leading to the two tribes with heavy losses, forcing them to retreat.”

“No matter why the Undying Race, which had obviously mobilized their army, suddenly changed their mind, the fact remains. Investigating the reasons will not help us now.”

The Emperor of the Flying Wolf Tribe’s expression darkened. “The important question now is, what should we do?”

“What else can we do?”

The Leader of the Cangyu Tribe said helplessly. “We can only stick to the original plan, and the sixteen tribes will form an alliance to confront the army of the Great Flame Empire head-on.”

“Exactly!”

The strongest members of various tribes nodded in agreement.

Duke Farah could tear up the agreement because there was no signed contract and was not bound by the principles of heaven and earth.

But they had already signed a contract and could not abandon the Flying Wolf Tribe.

The only option left was to form an alliance and face the army of the Great Flame Empire in battle.

“The army of the Great Flame Empire can quickly mobilize to any area. To resolve the crisis of the Flying Wolf Tribe, we must form an alliance and fight the Great Flame Empire’s army to the death.”

The Leader of the Giant Ant Tribe spoke up, “What’s most problematic is that pirate group from the Great Flame Empire.”

The assembly of strong members involuntarily furrowed their brows.

Their biggest concern was that Duke Farah’s sudden decision to tear up the agreement wasn’t due to a new major problem within the Undying Race, but rather that the Great Flame Empire’s pirate group was constantly assassinating strong fighters, thus forcing Duke Farah to break the agreement.

If that were the case, it would mean that this pirate group from the Great Flame Empire might use the same method to assassinate the strong members of the sixteen tribes’ alliance.

The strong members of the sixteen tribes were far less powerful than those of the Undying Race.

“The enemy has a Spirit Heart Tribe strong fighter with powerful Perception Ability. Even if we keep the location of the command center strictly secret, it is very likely to be sensed by that strong fighter,” the strongest member of the Extreme Fire Tribe mused. “Therefore, the best approach should be to disperse the strong fighters and aim for a quick victory!”

“Disperse the strong fighters and aim for a quick victory…”

Everyone carefully considered the meaning of these words. The more they thought about it, the better it seemed.

They understood that the strongest member of the Extreme Fire Tribe meant to establish only one main command center, responsible for leading and coordinating the entire alliance.

Then, the next level of command would be broken into smaller groups. This would allow the commanders of various armies to be spread out amongst their troops.

In this way, as long as the safety of the main command center could be ensured, it meant that the brain of the alliance could continue to operate.

Even if the Great Flame Empire pirate group managed to infiltrate the army and continuously assassinate strong fighters, the number of strong fighters that could be killed would be very few when they were all dispersed.

Just finding the strong fighters would consume a lot of time. As long as they aimed for a quick victory and quickly identified themselves from the Great Flame Empire’s army, this pirate group would not pose a significant threat or influence on the overall situation.

“I think this idea is feasible!”

“I also think it is feasible!”

“It can indeed solve this problem, provided that the main command center can be kept safe.”

“With all our strongest members gathered at the main command center, that alone is a powerful force.”

“Then we can assemble the top treasures from each tribe, set up defenses, and defensive barriers. Even if we are attacked by the Great Flame Empire pirate group, we can surely remain as steady as a mountain.”

“But we cannot be careless; I think we should find other races and see if we can exchange for a batch of top treasures that are beneficial for defense.”

“It is indeed necessary to do this. Even if we have to suffer some losses, it’s alright. After all, the main command center cannot afford any failures. If all of us strong fighters are captured, the consequences will surely lead the entire army to become scattered like sand.”

“This great situation could end up ruined!”

“I remember that the Tian Yue Tribe has a top treasure that can sense Killing Intent!”

“That’s right; it can sense any Killing Intent within a hundred thousand kilometers and show the source of that intent.”

“It’s likely that the Tian Yue Tribe will not exchange it, but we can offer a price to obtain it.”

“The Snow Fox Tribe also has a powerful top treasure for defense. Once activated, its defense strength surpasses that of defensive barriers.”

“Most importantly, the energy shield formed by this treasure can move. Attacks from the outside will be blocked by the energy shield, while those inside can attack the enemies outside without being affected.”

“What’s troubling is that this treasure is regarded as a tribal treasure by the Snow Fox Tribe. It’s impossible to trade, and even temporarily borrowing it won’t be easy.”

“It’s alright; I have some connections with the king of the Snow Fox Tribe. I can reach out to him to see what cost would allow us to borrow it for a while.”

The sixteen strongest members began to brainstorm together, researching and discussing how to improve their defensive measures.

This issue was one of the biggest hidden dangers for the alliance.

As long as they could resolve this hidden danger, the sixteen strong members believed that striking a decisive blow against the Great Flame Empire’s army, while not entirely effortless, would certainly not be too difficult.

With the ongoing discussions and improvements from the sixteen strongest members, the defensive measures of the main command center continuously strengthened and enhanced.

Their confidence soared!
