Chapter 389: Full of Confidence

"The Kylin Tribe is gathering forces and is expected to mobilize fifteen million Black Tiger Tribe soldiers to attack our army from the side. What are everyone’s thoughts?"

In the tent, Guli gathered the high-ranking leaders of the three races and shook the information she had just received from the Intelligence Organization:

"According to the information provided, Chief Kylin of the Kylin Tribe will personally lead the troops, and his strength realm is around level 110. In addition, there are seven strong fighters above level 100."

"Since the Kylin Tribe is seeking death, of course, we should turn our army around and destroy the Kylin Tribe first. With our strength, defeating the Kylin Tribe’s army will be completely effortless."

One high-ranking member of the Black Tiger Tribe spoke up.

"I think we should continue with the original plan and keep advancing toward the Bone Spike Tribe. The strength of the Kylin Tribe is nothing against us; there is no need to waste time because of them.”

A high-ranking member of the Demon Race could not help but shake his head: "A mere Kylin Tribe is not qualified to make us change our course. If they really want to march faster, we can send out a force to fight them head-on."

"I agree to continue with the plan. As for whether to decisively suppress the Kylin Tribe’s army when they catch up or to send a small force to intercept and delay them, that’s worth discussing."

Tai Shi spoke: "Because each approach has its pros and cons. The former may make the Bone Spike Tribe vigilant and underestimate us, trying to tighten their defenses and making it harder for us to conquer them."

"Of course, it could also encourage the Bone Spike Tribe to gather their troops and fight with no way back. This way, we might actually defeat them in a short time and speed up our expansion."

"The reverse is also true; simply intercepting and delaying the Kylin Tribe could lead the Bone Spike Tribe to respond cautiously, perhaps sending a vanguard to test us. They might even launch a counterattack against the Kylin Tribe from both sides."

"The real key is what kind of decision the chief of the Bone Spike Tribe will make, given his steady personality."

When this was said, the high-ranking leaders in the tent nodded in agreement.

"The chief of the Bone Spike Tribe is generally steady. If we want him to attack, we must show him absolute odds of success."

Guli decided, "Let’s increase our marching speed and present an attitude of shaking off the Kylin Tribe, allowing the chief of the Bone Spike Tribe to see the hope of being attacked from both sides."

"If so, we must achieve a quick victory, defeat the Kylin Tribe as soon as possible, and regroup to take on the Bone Spike Tribe’s army."

The high-ranking leaders expressed their support for this plan.

Voluntarily putting themselves in a position to be attacked from both sides is typically a big mistake in military engagements.

But the expeditionary army had this confidence.

And this confidence came from two points.

First was the most detailed intelligence data.

Both the Bone Spike Tribe and the Kylin Tribe were completely unaware of the expeditionary army’s strength.

However, the expeditionary army knew the strength of the Bone Spike Tribe and the Kylin Tribe inside out, and their movements were crystal clear.

They could even instantly grasp the locations of the high-ranking leaders of the Bone Spike Tribe and the Kylin Tribe whenever they wanted to know.

The second source of confidence came from the strength of the expeditionary army itself.

In terms of top-tier combat power, they were slightly lacking.

Only Chief Nika had reached above level 110.

There were no fighters above level 120 at all.

In this regard, they were thoroughly defeated.

However, the number of fighters above level 100 in the expeditionary army far exceeded the total of the Bone Spike Tribe and Kylin Tribe combined.

Moreover, each of these strong fighters assisted a top genius, and with the top genius’s teleportation ability, they were fully capable of defeating the strong with the weak, or even challenging higher levels in a surprise attack.

In terms of top-tier combat power, although the expeditionary army’s strength realm is not as high as that of the Bone Spike Tribe, their strength is definitely not weak.

They adopt a strategy of defeating each enemy one by one, which gives them a significant advantage.

Moreover, this is without Yi Chen using any flying treasures for the expeditionary army.

If they had flying treasures and took the same approach as they did with the Swift Tribe, using assassination methods to capture or eliminate the strong fighters of the Bone Spike Tribe, their advantage in top-tier combat power would be overwhelming.

Their mid-to-low tier combat power is also incredibly strong.

Though the expeditionary army is not large, the more than 700,000 humanity fighters at the Spirit Law stage mastering the Teleportation Technique, each paired with a partner around levels eighty to ninety, create an unbeatable army.

Because of this, almost all high-ranking leaders of the three races agree with Guli’s decision.

The expeditionary army has the strength to defeat any large tribe and aims to complete Yi Chen’s command to unify the entire blood-colored planet in the shortest time possible.

Once all the leaders reached an agreement, Guli immediately announced the details of the discussion.

Within an hour, commands began to be issued one after another.

The marching speed of the expeditionary army started to quicken.

The increased marching speed brings a major issue: it can easily lead to disarray in their formation, which could result in rout if they encounter an ambush.

However, with the information provided by the Intelligence Organization confirming that no ambush exists, they are not significantly affected.

As the expeditionary army quickens its pace, it triggers a series of chain reactions.

Though the Bone Spike Tribe cannot grasp the expeditionary army’s detailed information, they still send out many scouts.

Seeing that the expeditionary army is moving straight toward their stronghold and showing no intention of engaging with the Kylin Tribe, the Bone Spike Tribe must begin to gather their forces and urge the Kylin Tribe to speed up their assembly.

The Kylin Tribe can only hasten their gathering to keep up.

…

In outer space, Yi Chen focuses on multiple tasks at once.

He extracts luck from the laws of heaven in the entire Tianling Star Cluster using the Luck Technique.

At the same time, he uses his powerful divine consciousness to monitor the actions of the expeditionary army.

Unifying the entire blood-colored planet, in his view, is without any doubt. If this were not the case, he wouldn’t have issued the command for expansion.

What he truly cares about is whether the expeditionary army can unify the entire blood-colored planet with minimal cost and maximum speed, while also integrating the Black Tiger Tribe quickly.

The blood-colored planet is just the first step of the Great Flame Empire’s expansion. By maximizing their current strength, they can target the starry sky and battle various tribes in the future.

Besides extracting luck and monitoring the expeditionary army’s movements, Yi Chen also reflects on the principles of heaven and earth and the power of the laws to prepare for creating a new skill.

Creating skills that can slow down and reduce the enemy’s speed and reaction involves many laws, especially a few related to the laws of space.

Given Yi Chen’s current strength realm and talent, it would be effortless for him to create a skill suitable for top geniuses to practice.

However, creating a skill that is also applicable to his current realm presents a greater challenge.

Yi Chen chooses the latter because this skill will also significantly enhance his own strength.

Thus, he must spend time fully comprehending the various powers of the laws involved in the skill to perfection.
