Chapter 361: Making a Plan
The leader of the alliance spoke to the high-ranking leaders of the allied younger brothers, commanding them to kill without hesitation, clearly not considering their feelings.
Over three thousand powerful beings from the Black Tiger Tribe couldn’t help but gaze at the astonished Chief Nika.
If Chief Nika gave the order, they would undoubtedly fight to the death and turn to attack Yi Chen.
“Master, please calm your anger. It is my poor guidance. I beg you to forgive me…”
Chief Nika finally reacted, crawling on the ground and trembling.
He understood how terrifying Yi Chen was and feared that Yi Chen would vent his anger on the entire Black Tiger Tribe.
The thought of standing up for his subordinates never crossed his mind.
“Poor guidance? When you have the time, take the opportunity to educate them properly.”
Yi Chen said calmly.
This was one of his points of dissatisfaction with Chief Nika.
The chieftain, perhaps for the sake of face, had not genuinely promoted the status of the Great Flame Empire, the leader of the alliance, within the tribe.
As the emperor of the Great Flame Empire, all of Yi Chen’s considerations were based on the empire’s interests.
He would not allow this situation to continue and felt the need to discipline Chief Nika and the high-end combatants of the Nika tribe.
After all, when it came to overall strength, the Nika tribe was obviously stronger than the Great Flame Empire.
For a while, to maintain a low profile, they would need to use the name of the Nika tribe to occupy and govern various life planets.
Without truly recognizing the status of the Great Flame Empire, this would only make the high-ranking leaders of the Nika tribe feel at a disadvantage.
This would lead to even greater conflicts in the future.
“Yes!”
Chief Nika hurriedly responded.
The over three thousand high-end combatants from the Black Tiger Tribe felt a wave of disappointment.
They finally realized that their chieftain’s life and death now depended on someone else.
However, the truth was not entirely so simple.
Few knew that what Chief Nika truly feared was not his life being controlled by Yi Chen.
It was the strong attitude Yi Chen displayed during their interactions that made him feel small, like an ant.
“So, do you five captains and vice-captains have any other questions?”
Yi Chen moved on from this topic.
He understood very well that the high-end combatants of the Nika tribe were certainly dissatisfied with his ruthless and strong demeanor.
But because of Chief Nika’s submissive attitude, they dared not voice their anger.
Right now, he only needed the high-end combatants of the Nika tribe to understand that he, the leader of the alliance, could be merciless and formidable.
He would take his time.
A mix of kindness and authority was the true method to conquer a vassal race.
For now, he just needed to establish his stance with the high-end combatants of the Nika tribe, with Chief Nika under control, and there was no need to rush.
“Can Your Majesty provide specific numbers and strengths of the Crane King and his strong subordinates, as well as their location distribution? Also, what about the location and defenses of the Crane King’s treasure vault?”
Guli asked.
Leading the Eastern Army on the exile planet for many years, her commanding skills had improved significantly.
As soon as Yi Chen spoke, she determined that he wanted to train the troops, and she understood the essence of his words.
The essence was not about Yi Chen stepping in when a complete defeat was imminent.
Rather, it was about providing the most detailed information to the Great Flame Pirates.
“Of course, I can provide that!”
Yi Chen smiled and nodded, pleased with Guli’s assessment.
The strength of the Great Flame Pirates was certainly not a match for the Crane King.
However, the pirates’ mission was to seize resources and treasures, not annihilate their targets.
If they could acquire the most detailed information, understanding both their situation and that of the enemy would make accomplishing the mission much easier.
“By rating, the Crane King is roughly at level 110. Additionally, he has two subordinates just above level 100. Below them, there are over fifty thousand high-end combatants at level 90 and above.”
“The Swift Tribe has over six hundred thousand members above level 80. The entire territory’s Swift Tribe numbers over twelve billion.”
“Currently, the Crane King and a successful tribulation survivor have left. They are training on a nearby deserted star. At the old nest, only one successful tribulation survivor is staying, who is currently training deep in a mountain six thousand kilometers south of the old nest.”
Yi Chen’s divine consciousness effortlessly covered half the planet, making it incredibly easy to gather various detailed information.
He detailed, “The treasure vault is located one thousand meters underground, to the east of the Crane King’s palace.”
“Surrounding the treasure vault are defensive barriers. Even a successful tribulation survivor would need over ten minutes to destroy them. As for the guards, there are over five thousand in the palace, most of whom are above level 90…”
Yi Chen used his divine consciousness to relay the layout, guards, and troop distribution of the treasure vault, palace, and the Crane King’s old nest to Guli and the four vice-captains.
“If we need to retreat, can we use Your Majesty’s flying treasure?”
Guli pressed on.
“Of course!”
Yi Chen nodded.
Whew…
Guli and the four vice-captains all breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing the detailed information about the Crane King’s old nest and being able to use Yi Chen’s flying treasure made this mission seem much easier.
After all, the Crane King and another strong subordinate were not in the old nest.
This meant that in terms of high-end combat power, there was only one successful tribulation survivor, who was no stronger than the Great Flame Pirates.
Moreover, this strong individual was not at the old nest but training thousands of kilometers away from the palace.
The over three thousand top combatants of the Black Tiger Tribe felt that the previous high-ranking leader of the Black Tiger Tribe had died unjustly.
If they had raised their doubts a bit later and heard this information, they might not have jumped out to refute it.
Although this leader of the alliance could be ruthless and powerful, it was clear that he believed the Great Flame Pirates had a certain chance of success; that was why he made the decision not to intervene.
“Your Majesty, can we discuss and devise a plan?”
Guli asked.
“You can decide how to discuss; you can take action whenever you want. If you need any information, just come and ask me.”
Yi Chen maintained a completely non-interfering attitude while continuing to construct law seals.
The only difference was that his divine consciousness was fully active, keeping track of everything happening within a thirty-thousand-kilometer radius.
Guli immediately began discussing with the four vice-captains.
Armed with this important information, they quickly finalized their plan.
A surprise attack!
Speedy resolution.
They would rush into the treasure vault as quickly as possible, seize a batch of treasures, and then use the flying treasure to escape while cutting off perception ability.
Aside from needing to research and set the formation and timing of the surprise attack, as well as design a backup plan, the whole strategy was not complicated.
“Your Majesty, um… can we borrow the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Binding Immortal Rope for our use?”
Guli cautiously asked Yi Chen.
“No!”
Yi Chen shook his head decisively.
The reason he agreed to allow the Great Flame Pirates to use the flying treasure and provided the most detailed information was that even if he did not personally oversee the operation, he would definitely spend some time helping the Great Flame Pirates create a flying treasure that would cut off perception ability, with good speed and defense, significantly improving their self-defense ability.
Once the Shadow Clan arrived, all information would be easily obtainable, and there would be no news the Great Flame Pirates could not access.
In other words, whether or not he personally oversaw it, the Great Flame Pirates would still have the advantages of the flying treasure and the information they possessed.
However, he would not spend time helping the Great Flame Pirates forge the Map of Mountains and Rivers or the Binding Immortal Rope.
So, Guli should not expect that.
