Chapter 678: Not So Easy

"Besides breaking into smaller groups, does Your Majesty have any other commands?"

After understanding, Duke Farah immediately became respectful, no longer resisting the Undying King’s orders and commands.

"Aside from breaking into smaller groups, our Undying Star System and Tianling Star Cluster are the farthest systems from the Milky Way, so the chance of being invaded by the human federation in the initial stages is very minimal."

The Undying King explained, "Therefore, according to the agreement with the various tribes, we in the Undying Race must gather a large number of the strong and teams to support the various star systems. Over on your side, you should also allocate about half of your strong members and army. Once we receive news, we will notify you which star system to support."

"Understood!"

Duke Farah did not hesitate at all.

Since the Undying Race was to come under the control of the Undying King once more, his orders were certainly not to be disobeyed.

However, he was not foolish.

With his connections, it was easy for him to verify whether the Undying King’s words were true.

If they were false, he could back out in time.

If they were true, he would naturally follow the orders.

Once the Undying King successfully regained control over the entire Undying Race, he would not tolerate Duke Farah’s deceit and half-hearted compliance.

After ending the call, Duke Farah immediately contacted several friends within the Undying Race.

The results he received matched what the Undying King had said.

No longer hesitating, he immediately issued orders.

The strong members and armies of the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster started to mobilize at once.

Various resources and treasures continuously gathered.

The ordinary tribe members of the Undying Race thought that Duke Farah intended to formally deploy troops to attack the Great Flame Empire or had made a choice to side with either the Undying King or Duke Bolai.

They did not realize they had been completely abandoned.

If the armies of the human federation arrived, they would see no sign of the strong members or armies of the Undying Race, easily becoming subjects under the rule of the human federation.

In fact, if the armies of the human federation did not arrive quickly, those tribe members in the Tianling Star Cluster would only suffer more.

…

"Spread the news that the Undying Race has completely abandoned the Tianling Star Cluster due to the Undying Star System. In fact, all members of the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster have been abandoned as well. There are no longer any strong members or armies of the Undying Race on the over a thousand life planets controlled by the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster."

Occasionally looking at the information of various tribes, Yi Chen issued a new order to Bai Ruo Xin.

"Understood!"

Bai Ruo Xin immediately went to gather the High-ranking Leaders of the Intelligence Organization to discuss this matter.

Yi Chen continued his training.

The reason for his arrangements was simple: to accelerate the Great Flame Empire’s unification of the Tianling Star Cluster.

Once the various races in the Tianling Star Cluster learned that the Undying Race had completely abandoned the region, they would undoubtedly plunge into a frenzy.

Alliances among the tribes and instances of mutual attacking and invasion would surely spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Particularly those tribes that had recently emerged, they would be eager to expand and rise quickly.

As various tribes formed alliances, their strength became greater and more concentrated.

Normally, this would increase the pressure on the Great Flame Empire to expand and make conquering these tribes more difficult.

However, in reality, these alliances actually benefited the Great Flame Empire’s military by allowing them to strike decisively and quickly conquer.

Defeating one tribe could lead to the conquest of over a dozen more, which is far quicker than defeating each tribe individually.

Once this news spread and was confirmed, the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster would be in big trouble.

Nearby tribes would definitely have bold individuals who wanted to use the Undying Race to quickly enhance their prestige and reputation.

They would inevitably invade the more than a thousand life planets controlled by the Undying Race, turning the tribe members of the Undying Race, who once ruled the Tianling Star Cluster for over a million years, into subjects.

Even though the Undying Race in the Undying Star System remained incredibly strong and occupied these life planets, they would be wary of facing fierce retaliation if they exterminated all the Undying Race members. However, holding grudges and seeking revenge would be certain.

Of course, none of this was in Yi Chen’s considerations.

He only cared about the speed of the Great Flame Empire’s expansion.

…

Throughout the entire star cluster, all major powers underwent a tremendous upheaval because of an announcement from the Federation Military.

The human federation was also conducting a large-scale conscription.

Endless battleship fleets continuously departed from military bases toward nearby systems.

All the citizens of the federation were eagerly anticipating reports of victories as they swept through the star cluster, hearing news that the various races either surrendered or suffered total defeat.

However, before the armies had begun their invasion of the nearby systems, bad news constantly arrived from the Angelic Galaxy.

The Angelic Beings had completely abandoned the remaining life planets.

They formed a large number of armies consisting of less than one hundred thousand troops and began to harass and attack the Federation’s garrisons stationed on various life planets.

On the first day, nearly a thousand life planet garrisons suffered a sudden attack.

On the second day, the number of garrisons attacked rose to over ten thousand.

On the third day, more than fifty thousand life planets and small military bases came under assault.

On the fourth, fifth, and sixth days… while the increase was not as extreme, it continued to grow without decline.

Moreover, small-scale armies from other tribes had already joined the attacks.

Faced with these small but strong forces, there were likely also Angelic Being tribe members participating in the assaults.

The Federation garrisons stationed on the various life planets lacked large Defense Systems and could not defend effectively; their only option was to fight back fiercely, using powerful firepower to annihilate or scare off the attackers.

Yet, the attacking forces of the Angelic Beings employed a deadly tactic.

They dashed through the firepower blockade at any cost, then their strong and high-end combatants would crazily attack and destroy the Federation’s ships and soldiers.

The Angelic Being’s attacking teams often suffered heavy losses.

However, the garrison under attack also faced similarly grave casualties.

It was truly a fight to the death.

The only thing the Federation Military could do was find various reasons to decisively suppress the Angelic Beings who had occupied the life planets, forcing them to reveal the hidden Angelic warriors.

This yielded some results, as Angelic members hiding on the life planets were continuously uncovered.

Still, it could not stop the Angelic Beings’ assault teams from relentlessly attacking the garrisons on the life planets.

As time passed, the various tribes’ attacking teams kept joining in on the assaults.

Consequently, the Angelic Beings had completely given up the remaining life planets, while the Federation Military began to consider whether to send troops to govern and occupy these life planets.

This outcome was completely different from what the federal High-ranking Leaders had expected.

The major dominant races not only did not back down before the power of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, but they also decided to resist the invasion of the human federation with all their strength.

Moreover, they devised corresponding countermeasures based on the strengths and weaknesses of the Federation Military.

Even with the assistance of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, unifying the star cluster was not as easy as the federal High-ranking Leaders had imagined.
