Chapter 566: The Two Armies Face Off

“Right now, the army of the Great Flame Empire is still in the process of organizing their formations. Should we take advantage of their unstable footing and launch an attack directly?”

The Leader of the Poxin Tribe made a suggestion in the command center of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes.

The entire command center was built from a ship-shaped flying treasure.

This flying treasure measured only a few hundred meters in length and width.

At first glance, it looked plain and did not seem much different from ordinary flying treasures.

However, this flying treasure was actually used by the Leader of the Cangyu Tribe.

Though it appeared ordinary, it was entirely constructed from mid-grade immortal mines.

It not only had incredible speed, making it the fastest flying treasure of the Cangyu Tribe, but also had formidable defense strength.

Even among the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes, it ranked within the top three in terms of defensive capabilities.

Moreover, during this time, the sixteen tribes had acquired various top treasures from other races.

Thus, the entire command center boasted an unimaginably high level of defense.

At this moment, not only were there the strongest members of the sixteen tribes in the command center, but almost all the High-ranking Leaders of the alliance were gathered there as well.

In this small command center, there were sixteen level 130 strong fighters and over two hundred level 120 strong fighters.

This itself was a powerful force of top-tier combat power.

“I think we should hold off for now! The army of the Great Flame Empire is indeed unstable, and it presents a good opportunity for an attack.”

One strong member shook his head in disagreement, saying, “Normally, sending a few vanguard units to launch a sudden attack might not destroy the army of the Great Flame Empire, but it could at least inflict some damage.”

“However, right now, we don’t plan to engage in a war of attrition with the Great Flame Empire. Our main task is to annihilate their long-range attacking army in one blow and determine the outcome of the battle.”

“Such small victories wouldn’t greatly impact the overall situation; they would only slightly affect the morale of the Great Flame Empire’s army.”

“Conversely, unexpected changes might arise. I believe it’s better to follow the original plan.”

“I agree; it’s better to proceed with the original plan. There’s no need to complicate things.”

“Indeed, who knows if the Great Flame Empire’s army might set traps, just waiting for us to send out vanguard units? If that happens, it could trigger unnecessary chain reactions.”

Soon, this proposal was dismissed by the strongest members of the various tribes.

All the while, a steady stream of orders was being issued from the command center through communication stones to the strong fighters spread throughout the army.

The strong fighters of the tribes quickly mobilized the entire army according to the orders.

…

“According to the information provided by the Intelligence Organization, the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes will adopt a defensive posture but is actually prepared to launch a large-scale offensive.”

In the command center of the expeditionary army, the War City was also gathering its High-ranking Leaders to discuss and refine the final full assault plan while the troops were mobilizing.

Similar to the command center of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes, the command center of the expeditionary army was also set within a flying treasure.

One of the three flying treasures forged by Yi Chen.

The difference was that the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes had frantically collected a vast number of top treasures to enhance the defensive capabilities of their command center to ensure safety.

The expeditionary army, however, had fewer complications.

Because the flying treasures crafted by Yi Chen could shield the Perception Ability of the strong fighters, making it impossible for any assassins to detect the presence of this flying treasure.

The defensive formation of the flying treasure itself had strong defense strength.

There were no safety concerns.

With the Intelligence Organization’s information being all-encompassing and astonishingly detailed, there was no need to worry about being assassinated by the strong from the sixteen tribes.

“Given this, we only need to follow the original plan. We will let the eastern human army pretend to attack. Once the enemy begins to deploy their defense army for a large-scale offensive, we will crush their defense army in one decisive blow and officially launch a strong assault!”

“Our goal is not to defeat the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes but to compel them to surrender!”

The War City leader arranged, “Once the eastern human army defeats the defense army of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes and successfully destroys their strongest attack forces, we will spread out and surround the alliance with the entire army.”

“The most important point is to quickly form a blockade while resisting any breakout from the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes.”

The High-ranking Leaders nodded in agreement.

While the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes was brimming with confidence, the High-ranking Leaders of the expeditionary army were equally assured they could easily defeat the alliance.

However, defeating them was not the main objective. The focus was on pushing the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes into despair and making them surrender.

Thus, the key was to ensure that, after defeating the alliance, they would not let them escape. They needed to encircle them and continually apply pressure.

This was the reason they re-discussed and refined their offensive plan before the battle.

Defeating the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes wasn’t difficult, but surrounding them before they could collapse and being able to withstand their attempts to break out was the challenge.

The first thing to do was to ensure quick troop mobilization.

They even prepared teams in advance to find ways to encircle the alliance within a short time, preparing to surround them while stifling any attempts at their escape.

The detailed and specific implementation plans had long been established by the High-ranking Leaders of the expeditionary army.

Now, they were simply making adjustments and improvements based on the actual situation.

In just half an hour, they made small adjustments to the original plan and concluded the meeting.

The entire expeditionary army had also completed its deployment.

Orders began to be transmitted from the command center.

The eastern human army, comprising millions, advanced towards the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes.

Behind them, the vanguard closely followed.

The entire expeditionary army gradually pushed forward, closing in without creating much distance from the vanguard.

In addition, various flying treasures assembled within the army.

Strong fighters and soldiers from various tribes continuously entered the flying treasures.

Their mission was to find a way to maneuver around the perimeter of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes when the battles began.

Once the alliance suffered a major defeat, they would quickly deploy to delay their retreat and buy enough time for the army to surround the entire Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes.

On the other side, upon learning that the Great Flame Empire had begun to send out vanguard troops to attack, led by an unknown race’s long-range attacking army, the High-ranking Leaders of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes were elated.

Everything was unfolding in accordance with their expectations.

Quickly, as commands were issued, the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes advanced instead of retreating. They swiftly organized a vanguard army of three hundred million elite troops to push towards the vanguard of the Great Flame Empire.

The defense army, seen by the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes as the key to victory, was included among this vanguard army.

In the command center, strong fighters continued to leave the flying treasure to join the defense army.

The distance between the two vanguard armies was steadily decreasing.
