Chapter 692: Boosting Confidence Among the Tribes

On the edge of the star cluster, inside a lonely and deserted star, twenty strongest members gathered here.

Their task was to remotely command the attack teams of various tribes to launch relentless assaults on the Federation Military stationed on the major life planets.

In recent months, the twenty strongest members of the tribes had been utterly exhausted.

This was due to the shocking data reported every day.

As the human federation unified the entire Angelic Galaxy, they began to rapidly occupy the major life planets in the Frenzied Galaxy.

The assault armies of the twenty tribes continuously increased.

Only by expanding the number of attack teams in line with the human federation’s expansion could they truly slow down their swift advance.

However, increasing the number of assault teams and intensifying the attack frequency resulted in heavy casualties for the Federation Military while the losses for the twenty tribes’ attack armies became even more severe.

Every day, over ten thousand attack teams were reported killed by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This feeling made the twenty strongest members of the tribes experience immense pain.

Yet, a few days ago, this situation unexpectedly improved.

The number of daily losses of assault teams suddenly dropped from a little over ten thousand to only about five thousand.

And it remained at that level for several days.

While this delighted the twenty strongest members of various tribes, it also puzzled them.

Having over ten thousand attack teams wiped out daily had already caused them great distress, and they were more anxious about the possibility that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would send even more troops.

After all, the human federation possessed Large Battleships capable of long-distance transmission.

Even if the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was far away, they could still arrive within a few months.

Yet, the casualties among the assault teams not only did not increase but dropped unexpectedly.

Surely, it couldn’t be that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had pulled their forces back?

If that were the case, it would be earth-shattering news.

This would mean that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had started to experience changes, necessitating the recall of personnel from the star cluster.

However, the likelihood of this situation was minimal.

“It’s the Shadow King! The Shadow King must have attacked the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces and killed a number of their members!”

One strong member suggested this possibility.

This deduction immediately gained the approval of the other strongest members.

Because apart from this possibility, they really couldn’t think of a better explanation.

“If that’s true, it would undoubtedly be great news. This shows that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe is not truly invincible in this star cluster. At the very least, the Shadow King can still inflict losses on them.”

The Leader of the Frenzied Tribe exclaimed excitedly, “Moreover, our losses have halved, which means the Tree-Dwelling Tribe may have also lost half their personnel because of this.”

“Let’s hope the Shadow King can keep up the effort and kill more Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.”

“Yes! If we can eliminate more Tree-Dwelling Tribe members, our pressure would greatly lessen, allowing us to exert even more pressure on the human federation and hinder their rapid expansion.”

"Actually, based on the information and data collected internally from the human federation, the Shadow King is skilled in stealth techniques and various tracking and searching techniques. If we can connect with the Shadow King and ask for help regarding the movements of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it would truly be a great assistance."

"This matter seems bleak for now. If the Shadow King really excels in tracking and searching techniques, then even if he can’t find our hiding place, finding the hideouts of some of our High-ranking Leaders wouldn’t be difficult at all."

"The fact that the Shadow King has not approached us only means that, while our interests align, he has no interest in collaborating with us."

"There’s nothing we can do; in the eyes of the Shadow King, we strongest members are simply unable to provide any help."

The strongest members of various tribes sighed deeply.

If the Shadow King could provide the movements and whereabouts of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the losses of the various tribes’ attack teams would surely decrease to a negligible level.

Unfortunately, he looks down upon the dominant races of this star cluster and wants to rely solely on his own strength to strike and kill the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

In fact, these dominant races of the star cluster also couldn’t offer any assistance to the Shadow King.

"Do you think that after the Shadow King attacks the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and inflicts near half of their casualties, they might, in anger, send a large army to sweep through the entire star cluster?"

A powerful being from the Wind-Walking Tribe suddenly voiced a worrying question.

"This…"

The strongest members of various tribes immediately felt a headache coming on.

This was indeed a great hidden danger for them.

The Shadow King being able to assassinate the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was undoubtedly good news that could greatly relieve their pressure.

However, if that angered the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and led them to send a massive army to hunt down the Shadow King, it would equally bring about a devastating disaster for the tribes.

"We can’t worry about that for now; we must take it step by step. Regardless, we have to continue to resist and struggle, or else we will have no choice but to migrate as a group outside of this star cluster, facing problems of insufficient resources and rapid decline."

The voice of the Leader of the Frenzied Tribe soon rang out.

The strongest members all steeled their gazes.

They realized that no matter how the situation unfolds in the future, as long as the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s army did not arrive, their only option was to fiercely resist and fight on.

At least for now, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe might be assassinated by the Shadow King, which would drastically reduce the pressure on the various tribes, making it a tremendous blessing.

As for the future, they would deal with it when the time came.

…

As Yi Chen had predicted, the pressure was greatly reduced for the twenty tribes, and their confidence saw a significant boost.

Even though the strongest members of the twenty tribes were concerned about the arrival of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s army, they would not give up resisting due to this unknown disaster.

For over ten days, Bunier and Blake could only lead five level 210 powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, tirelessly traversing the major life planets, seeking and destroying one assault team after another hiding in the vicinity.

The various tribes continued to send out waves of assault teams to lie in wait near the life planets occupied by the human federation, anticipating the command to strike.

Although the human federation’s rapid expansion continued, the pressure they faced was increasing.

Meanwhile, in the Tianling Star Cluster, the expansion speed of the Great Flame Empire maintained a sweeping trend.

Were it not for the Intelligence Organization blocking the news around the Tianling Star Cluster, the tribes would surely become aware that a force called the Great Flame Empire was rapidly expanding there.

After a few days, Yi Chen successfully reached the peak of the Tao Immortal Stage at the ninth level.

He was just one step away from a breakthrough, lacking only the high upper limit of the rules of heaven in this star cluster, which would require millions of super star clusters to break through.

Yi Chen immediately notified the Shadow King and Bai Ruo Xin, urging them to prepare.

Just a few hours later, the Shadow King and a Large Battleship arrived in the outer space of the blood-colored planet.

When the Shadow King entered the flying treasure, Yi Chen utilized the Map of Mountains and Rivers to store the Large Battleship within it.

He then immediately used his teleportation ability to appear in the teleportation array.

After that, he was transported to the Time Star Cluster through the teleportation array.

Upon boarding the Large Battleship, with orders issued, the ship began heading towards the star field where the treasure was contested.

Meanwhile, Yi Chen focused on his cultivation and breakthrough.
