Chapter 754: Overwhelmed by Numbers

As expected, the situation was just as Maleko and Grove anticipated.

Lieka and another powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had closed in on them while they were unable to break the transparent wall.

In front of them stood the two level 220 powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, while behind them was the transparent wall formed by powerful treasures.

Maleko and Grove could only escape to the side.

"Stop them at all costs!"

Lieka had predicted this, and countless giant branches began to stretch out, blocking their path.

The other powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe also swung branches to seal off the other side.

Using the transparent wall as support, they formed a circle by continuously extending their branches, then sent a large number of branches to attack Maleko and Grove.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Maleko had no choice but to end the power of reincarnation and stand with Grove to defend.

The two sides fought fiercely, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Lieka and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters could not defeat the combined forces of Maleko and Grove.

However, Maleko and Grove, no matter how hard they tried to break through, could not escape the encirclement formed by Lieka and the other strong fighter.

In just a few minutes, two powerful auras approached from a distance.

Maleko and Grove’s faces darkened to the extreme.

They understood that two more level 220 strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were arriving.

The current stalemate was sure to turn in their favor.

They were now trapped with no way out.

Especially Maleko, who felt immense regret.

If he had been able to predict that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters could use a large battleship to appear in front of them and set up an encirclement, he would have definitely used his powerful treasures to conceal his Energy Aura, preventing the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters from tracking his coordinates.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.

As the two level 220 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters arrived, the two-on-two situation quickly turned into a four-on-two battle.

With no other option, Grove had to summon all the Reincarnation Tribe and Tree-Dwelling Tribe subordinates from the blue gem.

He attempted to use these subordinates to hold back the level 220 strong fighters, buying time and opportunity for himself and Maleko to escape.

However, the outcome was not as hoped.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s melee energy was immense, and countless branches acted like countless arms.

The mere twenty or so strong fighters at levels 200 to 210 posed no significant threat to them.

Just as these strong fighters were eliminated, two more strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe arrived.

The battle shifted from two against four to two against six.

Both Maleko and Grove were struggling to cope, and injuries of various sizes began to appear on them.

After holding on for just over ten minutes, their bodies were shattered by the relentless attacks.

"Kill them! Eliminate them!"

Lieka had no intention of leaving any survivors.

If they were in the Tree-Dwelling Tribe star cluster, and if Maleko hadn’t self-destructed his soul, leaving survivors could allow them to track down other spies and insiders the Reincarnation Tribe had planted within the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

But this was the star cluster, which involved the Large Battleship and that strongest member of humanity.

Both held unimaginable value and benefits for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

In this situation, to be safe, it was best to leave no one alive.

Under the frenzied attacks of the six strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Maleko and Grove’s bodies quickly completely collapsed.

Their souls also couldn’t escape the pursuit and were instantaneously destroyed.

After waiting a moment longer, two more teams arrived one after the other.

Lieka and Bunier exchanged glances, unsure how to describe their feelings at that moment.

"Talk about misfortune!"

It truly was a terrible stroke of luck.

The fifty thousand reinforcements had only arrived in this star cluster two or three days ago before they were completely wiped out.

Among them were over a hundred level 210 strong fighters and over a thousand level 200 strong fighters.

This reinforcement could have easily swept through a smaller race.

Yet, inexplicably, they were wiped out in this star cluster, which only had a maximum level of 150 strong fighters in the outer star cluster.

No one expected that, after multiple levels of inspection, a spy from the Reincarnation Tribe had managed to mix into the reinforcements.

Moreover, the spy among the reinforcements held treasures that could evade detection and accommodate strong fighters.

And within those treasures were two level 220 strong fighters.

Such bad luck was unprecedented.

The only thing Lieka and Bunier could take comfort in was successfully eliminating the spy from the Reincarnation Tribe.

Although the humanity federation’s information was obtained by the Reincarnation Tribe, just like the Time Tribe, without a Large Battleship, the Reincarnation Tribe simply couldn’t send a strong team over to compete for and control the humanity federation.

They could be considered to have achieved a significant accomplishment.

After all, it was the strong fighters in the foreign affairs department who missed the inspection; it had nothing to do with them.

And the ones they killed were two level 220 strong fighters.

Given Maleko and Grove’s strength realm, they were indeed high-ranking members of the Reincarnation Tribe’s intelligence organization in the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Especially Grove, whose status in the foreign affairs department was only second to the high-ranking leaders.

He could collect nearly all the department’s secrets.

"What do we do now?"

While they could take credit for their achievement, it paled in comparison to the tasks in this star cluster; their contributions were far outweighed.

Lieka looked at Bunier with a headache.

Originally, he had looked down on being equal with Bunier.

But now, he genuinely regarded Bunier as an equal leader.

The reason was simple: while Bunier’s strength was not as great as his, it was precisely Bunier’s caution that had prevented the losses from escalating.

If Bunier hadn’t insisted on bringing along three strong fighters skilled in tracking and searching techniques, those three could have easily been lost along with the reinforcements.

If that had happened, their mission in this star cluster would have been completely unachievable.

It was also Bunier’s calm planning that led to the immediate dispatch of the strong fighters skilled in tracking and searching methods to the Deserted Star to gather Maleko and the others’ auras, allowing them to successfully surround and eliminate Maleko.

"To be safe, let’s first retrieve the strong fighters who stayed on the Deserted Star. Then… let’s try to track the coordinates of the strongest member of humanity and the Shadow King before making decisions and arrangements!"

Bunier had no better plan.

Originally, he intended to track the coordinates of Yi Chen and the Shadow King, then send a group of level 210 strong fighters to test the waters, with level 220 fighters following behind to observe the situation, figuring out what hidden cards the strongest member of humanity, Yi Chen, actually had.

However, with the fifty thousand reinforcements being completely wiped out, no level 210 strong fighters were left to test Yi Chen’s hidden cards.

"Looks like that’s all we can do!"

Lieka nodded.

Ten level 220 strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe immediately flew at full speed toward the coordinates of the Deserted Star.

At the same time, the Shadow King, utilizing his tenfold control over time, had already brought Yi Chen to the Deserted Star.
