Chapter 777: The Attack Plan

Following the two elders of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it took two days for the army to officially reach their destination.

The domain of the Endless Tribe.

The plan was almost identical to the first round of expansion from before.

With a command from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder, the army began to spread out, dividing into dozens of paths, heading toward several important life planets of the Endless Tribe.

A fleet made up of ten billion troops set sail toward the life planet that served as the home base of the Endless Tribe.

The only difference was that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had launched an expansion a few months earlier.

The battle plan had already been well-known among the various tribes.

Because of this, various tribes closely monitored the movements of the vassal races allied with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe within their star clusters.

The Endless Tribe had long been aware of the Mo Xi Tribe gathering their forces.

However, they could not confirm if the Mo Xi Tribe’s target was the Endless Tribe.

Nevertheless, over a month ago, the Endless Tribe had already made thorough preparations.

Therefore, when the Mo Xi Tribe’s army entered the territory of the Endless Tribe, the guards patrolling the area quickly detected their movements.

By the time the ten billion troop army arrived at the home planet of the Endless Tribe, the tribe’s leader and elders had already departed via the teleportation array at the earliest opportunity.

Various resources and treasures from the treasure vault were also being continuously transported away.

After receiving the information about the movements of the Endless Tribe leader and elders from the strong fighters responsible for tracking enemy activities, the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders remained calm.

This outcome was well within their expectations.

The monk may escape, but the temple cannot.

It was just a bit troublesome.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder immediately took out a communication stone.

Soon, a two hundred and twenty level strong fighter skilled in tracking and searching techniques arrived.

“The Energy Aura from the Endless Tribe leader and all the elders is inside. Start with the leader!”

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder tossed a Space Stone to the strong fighter.

After taking the Space Stone, the two hundred and twenty level strong fighter began to utilize the Energy Aura stored within it, activating his tracking and searching techniques to locate the Endless Tribe leader’s whereabouts.

A few minutes later, he shook his head at the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders: “The Endless Tribe leader must be carrying a treasure that shields against tracking and searching techniques; I cannot trace his location.”

The two Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders nodded, signaling him to continue.

The two hundred and twenty level strong fighter continued his search.

Endless Tribe Great Elder, Endless Tribe Second Elder.

Both of these individuals also carried treasures that shielded against tracking and searching techniques.

However, the whereabouts of the Endless Tribe Third Elder were quickly uncovered.

At the signal from the two Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders, the two hundred and twenty level strong fighter did not stop the search but continued onward.

Soon, he reached a conclusion.

The leader of the Endless Tribe and over sixty elders possessed only five powerful treasures that could shield against tracking and searching techniques.

The whereabouts of the other elders could all be traced.

However, the Endless Tribe seemed to be prepared for this.

All the elders who could be tracked scattered and dispersed throughout the territory of the Endless Tribe.

"The mantis trying to stop a chariot, knowing it’s futile yet still attempting to resist and evade."

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder dismissed this.

In his view, the actions of the Endless Tribe were merely bringing trouble upon themselves.

"This is great; it shows all tribes the consequences of wasting time in resistance."

The other Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder considered it a good thing.

In the first round of expansion, the tribes had no psychological preparation and did not think of any response plans.

Thus, the implementation of the plan went incredibly smoothly.

Over a dozen tribes surrendered within a short time.

Now in the second round of expansion, with all tribes aware that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had the ability for long-distance rapid troop transportation, it was naturally not so easy.

But the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had also considered response measures.

That was to categorize by levels like the Great Flame Empire.

The tribes that surrendered earliest would receive the most favorable treatment.

The later tribes surrendered, the less favorable treatment they received.

Those who stubbornly resisted and caused great losses to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and their vassal races might even face extermination or be designated as slave races.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe needed a tribe to stand up and serve as an example, showing others this outcome.

Without a doubt, the Endless Tribe presented itself.

"Since the Endless Tribe has scattered the elders to hide and we cannot defeat and capture them all in a short time, let’s proceed with the plan!"

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder declared.

The other Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder nodded.

This situation had been anticipated in the plan.

The response strategy was for the Mo Xi Tribe army to start attacking, continuously eliminating the Endless Tribe forces on each life planet.

At the same time, a strong team would split into two paths, using tracking and searching techniques to determine the locations of the Endless Tribe elders, setting out to defeat and capture these elders.

Each path would be led by a Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder, making it incredibly easy—the only trouble would be that it would take more time.

But even if it took more time, five to six dozen elders would only take about a month.

The two elders began to allocate personnel.

Then they split into two, boarding a battleship fleet, and set off toward their target.

Yi Chen continued to follow one Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder, patiently awaiting news from the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe strong teams.

…

“We’ve received news!”

In a deserted star, the strong teams from the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe showed signs of excitement.

They had finally received word that the Mo Xi Tribe was attacking the Endless Tribe.

“According to the information, the leader and elders of the Endless Tribe escaped their home life planet through a spatial rift at the first opportunity.”

A Time Tribe elder said, “In that case, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders will likely adopt a strategy of picking them off one by one. Should we hide by one of the Endless Tribe elders and try to pick off the Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders one by one instead?”

An elder from the Reincarnation Tribe shook his head and quickly rejected the suggestion: “I think we should forget it! The Tree-Dwelling Tribe has long known about our existence and will definitely be on guard against us attacking two of their elders.”

“They must carry a lot of special powerful treasures. If we act recklessly, we might get delayed and attract a massive number of Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders.”

All the elders from the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe couldn’t help but nod.

The possibility was not small.

Although the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was not like the Time Tribe warriors who could use time reversal abilities to cross the endless starry skies and reach another Time Tribe warrior, they had large battleships capable of space jumps.

Moreover, with the strength of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors, if there was an urgent rescue, their speed could be incredibly fast as well.

If the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was already prepared, they could easily send out a group of elders standing ready.

They only needed to use space-type treasures to hold numerous large battleships.

Once they received a distress signal, they could set out immediately, using one large battleship to perform a rapid space jump to the designated location, then immediately switch to another large battleship.

This process would repeat.

As long as the space within the space-type treasures was large enough to accommodate a sufficient number of large battleships, it would negate the issue of those battleships needing dozens of hours for maintenance and recharging, allowing continuous space jumps.

Originally, it took about half a month for a large battleship to travel from the Tree Star Cluster to the Hailing Star Cluster.

But once this method was used, barring any mishaps or errors, it could take three to four hours to arrive.

This also meant that if the Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders delayed for three to four hours, a massive number of Tree-Dwelling Tribe elders could potentially surround them.
