Chapter 836
by fanqienovelChapter 836: Unable to Break Through
“Charge team, initiate attack!”
Finally, as the distance between the two sides closed to ten thousand kilometers, the commanders of the vanguard issued their attack orders in unison.
In the center of the army, speed-focused warriors activated their defensive treasures and suddenly accelerated out from behind the defensive warriors.
They advanced quickly while withstanding the onslaught of flames and dodging more powerful fire dragons.
“Fight while retreating, maintain the attack!”
The four corps commanders calmly issued commands.
The eastern human army began to withdraw while continuing to suppress the fire and fire dragons.
The distance continually increased, but their long-range attacks remained unaffected.
The commanders of the vanguard stood dumbfounded.
They knew that the eastern human army could attack while moving, but they never expected the attacks would remain perfectly coordinated without any flaws while on the move.
This eastern human army could indeed unify the entire Golden Cloud Star Cluster; they were truly extraordinary.
They gritted their teeth but felt helpless.
They could only order the vanguard to increase their speed.
However, under the pressure of the powerful sea of fire and fire dragons, the speed of the vanguard could not increase.
If they accelerated, their entire defensive formation would fall into chaos.
The consequence would be total collapse, exposing the attacking warriors to the onslaught of flames and fire dragons.
They maintained a distance of around ten thousand kilometers from the eastern human army.
Those speed-focused warriors, not subject to concentrated attacks, managed to close in on the eastern human army thanks to the strength of their defensive treasures.
But as time passed, the defensive strength of their treasures began to weaken.
When they charged within two to three thousand kilometers of the eastern human army, warriors started to lose their defensive treasures under the relentless assault of flames.
After that, they were completely consumed by the sea of fire.
Screams echoed continuously.
The vanguard, unable to close the distance and keep up with the retreating speed of the eastern human army, left the speed-focused warriors as isolated forces.
They suffered casualties under the siege of flames and fire dragons, and although they got closer, their numbers dwindled.
In the end, they were completely wiped out just as they arrived within one thousand kilometers, not a single one left.
“Advance!”
The four corps commanders, seeing that they had successfully dealt with the charge of the speed-focused army, began to adjust their tactics.
Instead of continuing to retreat, the army actively moved toward the vanguard.
As the eastern human army advanced, the distance that the vanguard could not close began to shorten continuously.
The commanders of the vanguard started to feel a headache.
They felt somewhat at a loss.
Because the current situation was completely different from their plans.
With the speed-focused army unable to successfully attract the firepower of the eastern human army, and the powerful long-range attack ability displayed by the eastern human army, they could not advance within five thousand kilometers of the eastern human army at all.
In this case, they could not defeat the eastern human army.
Moreover, with the eastern human army advancing instead of retreating, they quickly guessed that the opposing side intended to let the vanguard sustain heavy losses.
Unable to do anything else, they had to mobilize forces from the rear to regroup the speed-focused army and the defensive army to rush to the front lines.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The attacks of the eastern human army remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, the allied vanguard could only continuously send various troops to the front lines for support.
Due to the relentless attacks, the front defensive army was gradually unable to hold on and needed to be replaced.
The various tribes were also suffering constant damage and required replenishment.
The commanders of the allied forces could only hope that the long-range attacks of the eastern human army could not continue for a long time.
Because the vanguard was already closing in on them from all sides.
At this moment, if they wished to retreat, they would have to abandon the numerous warriors of the front army.
The eastern human army’s previous advance was precisely to maintain enough attacking distance.
The tug-of-war continued.
On the outermost edge, the massive energy shield formed by billions of soldiers from the Elite Race kept shrinking.
And the front line of the vanguard struggled to withstand the sea of fire and fire dragon attacks from the eastern human army, unable to advance an inch.
…
“Although the battle situation is slightly worse than we expected, it is still within an acceptable range. If that’s the case, according to the original plan, shall we organize an army of one hundred ninety level to support the vanguard?”
In the command center, the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe looked toward the leaders of the various tribes.
When they first devised the plan, they never thought the vanguard could directly defeat the eastern human army.
The charge of the vanguard was purely to test the strength of the eastern human army.
Results showed that the eastern human army was indeed stronger than their data indicated.
Even with an army of over one hundred eighty level made up of various races, they could not break through the eastern human army’s ultra-long-range attacks.
Given these circumstances, the best course of action was to organize a more powerful army.
“Isn’t that a bit too hasty?”
The leader of the Time Tribe couldn’t help but ask.
His thought was to wait until they tested the endurance of the eastern human army before making considerations.
After all, the vanguard still had a steady influx of reinforcements to withstand the ultra-long-range attacks from the eastern human army.
Even though the vanguard was suffering casualties, these losses were insignificant compared to the massive army of trillions.
Even if the eastern human army could continuously recover energy with spirit materials and maintain their attacks, over time, their mindset would surely be affected.
It would be far better to hold out for three to five more days, allowing the eastern human army to become completely numb before mobilizing the one hundred ninety level army for a strong offensive.
“Quick resolution; the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us.”
The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe said helplessly, “Because the most terrifying aspect of the Great Flame Empire is the strongest member of humanity and the strong team he commands.”
The leader of the Time Tribe had no rebuttal.
Just as the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe said, the most frightening part of the Great Flame Empire lies in the strongest member of humanity and his strong team.
The reason for surrounding and attacking the forces of the Great Flame Empire was purely to force the strongest member of humanity and the strong team to appear, thus seizing the initiative.
They even intended to use the forces of the Great Flame Empire as hostages, leading the strongest member of humanity and his team into a trap.
For the allied forces, including the eastern human army, the entire army of the Great Flame Empire was not worth worrying about.
As long as they could deal with the strongest member of humanity, they could easily handle the three hundred billion troops from the Great Flame Empire.
In this case, there was no doubt that they must defeat the army of the Great Flame Empire as quickly as possible and bring the eastern human army under control.
Seeing that the leader of the Time Tribe no longer refuted, the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe turned to the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe.
“I agree!”
The leader of the Reincarnation Tribe quickly gave his opinion.
Looking at the leaders of the various tribes, they naturally had no differing opinions when they saw the three dominant race leaders reach an agreement.
“Since that’s the case, begin mobilizing the army to provide support to the vanguard!”
The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe made the arrangements immediately.
The leaders of the various tribes then took out their communication stones and began issuing commands one after another.
The main group of the allied forces also began to mobilize in an orderly manner.
