Chapter 782: Alliance of the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe

“There will be rewards for contributions and penalties for mistakes. The human federation’s significant accomplishment certainly deserves a reward.”

“Indeed, the biggest weakness of the human federation right now is their overall talent and strength being too low. The rewards should focus on resources that enhance talents and strength.”

“Besides that, we need to find a way to help the human federation locate the strongest member of humanity as soon as possible. Controlling the strongest member of humanity will not only be of great benefit to our Tree-Dwelling Tribe but will also swiftly elevate the strength realm of the human federation.”

The group of elders quickly decided on the type of rewards to give the human federation.

This was also the main reason why the number of vassal races under the Tree-Dwelling Tribe far exceeded those of the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe.

Compared to the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was indeed much more lenient and friendly toward their vassal races.

After the vassal races made significant contributions to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the tribe would not hesitate to reward them generously.

Without needing any hints or reminders, they would proactively offer substantial rewards.

“Everyone should understand that the Large Battleships of the human federation have provided extraordinary assistance to our Tree-Dwelling Tribe, far beyond expectations. Therefore, we cannot afford to lose the human federation and the Large Battleships.”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe stated, “I have decided to send three more elders to the human federation’s base to strengthen the defenses. Additionally, all functions related to the Large Battleships must be kept strictly confidential.”

The elders nodded in agreement.

If the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe learned that the Federation Military could remotely lock onto the locations of the Large Battleships, they would surely fail.

Likewise, if the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe discovered that the Federation Military could remotely destroy all the stolen Large Battleships, they would shift their focus away from seizing the Large Battleships and toward controlling the researchers of the human federation instead.

These secrets needed to be kept strictly confidential.

You never know when they might prove unexpectedly useful.

“Finally, regarding the original expansion plans, I think we can speed up the progress!”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe announced.

“Speed up the progress?”

The elders were taken aback.

But they quickly understood what the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe meant.

Accelerating the expansion speed would undoubtedly create a strong sense of crisis for the two dominant races, the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe.

It would also significantly increase the pressure on the medium and large races in various star systems.

This would push the Tree-Dwelling Tribe into a position where all tribes in the super star cluster would fear and wish to suppress them.

Therefore, the initial plan was to proceed gradually.

This was to minimize pressure and resistance as much as possible and also because the human federation needed more time to produce the Large Battleships.

Now, with the secrets surrounding the Large Battleships, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe managed to annihilate the strong teams of the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe, which included six elders, proving that as long as they could continue to keep these secrets, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe could face the combined pressure of the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe without fear.

Given this, they could completely speed up the expansion and enhance their advantages as quickly as possible.

After some contemplation, the elders unanimously agreed with this decision.

They all saw hope for unifying the super star cluster.

In this situation, it was certainly time to take a risk.

Buzzing…

As the High-ranking Leaders began to discuss the details, the communication stone of the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe vibrated slightly.

When he checked, it was a communication request from the leader of the Time Tribe.

A hint of pride flashed in the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s eyes.

He understood clearly that the leader of the Time Tribe was contacting him now because he could no longer reach the three slain elders of the Time Tribe and wanted to pressure him to release them.

This was undoubtedly impossible.

The three elders of the Time Tribe had already been killed.

If the three elders had not been killed, he would never have returned them.

Right now was the time when a race war was about to break out in the super star cluster.

In peaceful times, the three elders of the Time Tribe could be used as bargaining chips to trade with the Time Tribe for high returns.

In the current situation, no matter how high the return, he could not return the elder-level strong fighters to the Time Tribe, thus strengthening their strength.

It was easy to guess that soon the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe would also send a communication request with the same intention as the leader of the Time Tribe.

As expected by the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, as soon as the call connected, the leader of the Time Tribe got straight to the point and asked to redeem all survivors, including the three elders of the Time Tribe.

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe decisively rejected this proposal, clearly informing the leader of the Time Tribe that all strong fighters from the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe had been killed.

On the other end, after the leader of the Time Tribe silently ended the call, he immediately contacted the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe.

…

Three days later, a series of explosive news hit the super star cluster.

Just a few months apart, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe initiated a new round of expansion, successfully forcing the Endless Tribe to surrender through their vassal race, the Mo Xi Tribe.

At the same time, due to the Endless Tribe’s senior leaders resisting for too long, the terms of the contract they signed were far less favorable than those of the first conquered races.

What terrified the various tribes in the super star cluster even more was that the vassal races of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe began to gather their forces.

The situation clearly indicated that they intended to accelerate their expansion without the previous stealth and sudden attacks.

Another major news item was that the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe suddenly announced their alliance.

This was completely unexpected by all the tribes in the super star cluster.

For countless years, there had never been a unified situation in the super star cluster.

The main reason was the mutual checks and balances among those dominant races.

Whenever one dominant race rose, the others would join forces to suppress it with all their might.

However, such a situation typically occurred in the middle to late stages of a race war.

Seeing a dominant race forming an alliance in the early stages of a race war had never happened before.

This meant that both the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe believed the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had grown strong enough to warrant a combined effort to suppress and balance them.

Moreover, having dominant races personally participate in an alliance to suppress one of their own at this early stage could lead to one side facing total defeat.

Adding to the tension, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe possessed the capacity for ultra-long-range large-scale transportation of military forces, which might mean this race war could lead to the unification of the super star cluster.

This was undoubtedly the least desired outcome for the various tribes.

They currently had no hopes of unifying the super star cluster themselves.

If that were to occur, they would become one of the conquered and ruled races.

If mishandled, they could even be among those facing extinction.

The medium and small races hurriedly convened high-level meetings to discuss their response plans.

They lacked the qualifications to dominate the super star cluster but did not want to be the subjects of conquest.

Moreover, they certainly did not want to be among those facing extermination.

In this situation, they had to either align themselves with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe or one of the other two tribes, the Time Tribe or Reincarnation Tribe.

Alternatively, they could unite with other medium and small races to enhance their overall strength and self-defense ability.

Simultaneously, if they found themselves forced to join or align with one side, they would have more bargaining power.
