Chapter 499: Destroying the Psychological Defense Line

In the stronghold of the Spirit Heart Tribe, the Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe was training within barriers.

His brows were tightly knit, and his face looked grim.

In fact, he was feeling quite unhappy.

Allying with the Swift Tribe, a decision once seen as wise and bringing the Spirit Heart Tribe soaring to new heights, has proven to be a choice that led the tribe to the brink of destruction.

As a result, the prestige of the Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe has plummeted to an all-time low.

Had it not been for the High-ranking Leaders of the Spirit Heart Tribe, who also lost their prestige, and during this most difficult time when survival was at stake, he would have been pulled down from power by the strong fighters and tribe members.

After the main army of the Spirit Heart Tribe retreated, he called a meeting with the High-ranking Leaders. After discussions, they officially sent envoys to the blood-colored planet to negotiate peace with Nika’s tribe.

But even if they could come to terms with Nika’s tribe, the situation for the Spirit Heart Tribe was still not optimistic.

They faced troubles both inside and outside.

Internally, the strong fighters of the Spirit Heart Tribe suffered heavy losses as their treasure vaults were emptied by the Great Flame Pirates.

They were trying every possible means to squeeze resources from the tribe members to make up for the losses.

This only added fuel to the fire, making the tribe members, who were already unsatisfied with the High-ranking Leaders, even more resentful.

Externally, the news of the Spirit Heart Tribe’s heavy losses had undoubtedly spread to the surrounding tribes through internal traitors.

It was clear that these neighboring tribes were sharpening their blades, mustering their armies, and could easily march toward the Spirit Heart Tribe’s territory at any moment.

The entire Spirit Heart Tribe was facing the risk of collapse or even total annihilation.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe racked his brain, he had no solutions.

The Spirit Heart Tribe did not even dare to seek help from their ally, the Swift Tribe.

Firstly, the strong fighters of the Swift Tribe had also suffered serious losses.

But most importantly, there was deep-seated animosity between the Swift Tribe and the Black Tiger Tribe.

If the Spirit Heart Tribe tried to renew their relationship with the Swift Tribe, it might jeopardize their efforts to negotiate peace with Nika’s tribe.

The Spirit Heart Tribe members were truly terrified after suffering abuse and just wanted to seek peace at all costs.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Suddenly, the communication stone within the Space Stone vibrated lightly.

The Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

His face grew even more troubled.

Various bad news transmitted through the communication stones echoed in his mind.

Taking several deep breaths, he finally mustered the courage to pull out the communication stone.

His Perception Ability surged into it.

“Leader, bad news! The Black Tiger Tribe army has suddenly appeared out of nowhere and has surrounded our stronghold!”

An urgent voice from a strong fighter of the Spirit Heart Tribe reached him.

The Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe felt his head spinning.

How could the Black Tiger Tribe army appear out of thin air and surround their stronghold?

The scouts and sentinels of the Spirit Heart Tribe outside Colin Planet, as well as those around their stronghold, were nowhere to be found.

As he thought further, it didn’t seem impossible.

After all, the last major losses had also seemed impossible, yet the enemy managed to pull it off.

He couldn’t afford to waste any more time with unfounded thoughts and quickly asked, “How many soldiers has the Black Tiger Tribe deployed?”

“Over one hundred million soldiers, all of whom are high-end combatants from the Black Tiger Tribe,” explained a Spirit Heart Tribe strong fighter. “In addition, there are millions of troops from other races.”

“One hundred million high-end combatants…”

The Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe felt his heart tremble with fear.

This was definitely all the high-end combat power that the Nika tribe could mobilize.

They aimed to wipe out the entire Spirit Heart Tribe!

“Leader, what should we do?”

The Spirit Heart Tribe strong fighter pressed on.

“Immediately inform…”

The Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe initially intended to say to notify the strong fighters from other life planets to send reinforcements.

But as the words were on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back.

It would be useless.

Since the Nika tribe had fully mobilized and had mysteriously appeared around the stronghold of the Spirit Heart Tribe, they would be surrounded.

With the terrifying Black Tiger Tribe pirate group in addition, the Spirit Heart Tribe could never withstand such an assault.

Seeking peace was the only way out.

“Gather all the strong fighters and bring them together to discuss important matters! Notify the defense line Commander to only hold the line and not engage in active attacks. We must show the Black Tiger Tribe army our strong defense strength as much as possible.”

The Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe no longer hesitated and began giving orders.

“Yes!”

The strong fighter of the Spirit Heart Tribe immediately relayed the commands.

The Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe worked hard to calm himself down, thinking about how to ensure a successful peace negotiation.

The Great Flame Pirates had already beaten him to the point where he had no heart to resist and completely lacked confidence in his ability to fight back.

…

On the other side, within the flying treasure, the High-ranking Leaders of the expeditionary army studied and discussed, eventually finalizing the details of their plan.

All the leaders of the army began returning to their respective forces.

With Guli’s command, the army officially launched an attack toward the stronghold of the Spirit Heart Tribe.

Moreover, they attacked the stronghold from all sides simultaneously.

The five great human legions, with the Fifth Legion remaining behind to guard against sudden situations, assigned the other four legions to attack each side.

The four legions transformed into four Giant Human Walls.

The Demon Race army followed closely behind, pushing forward.

The strong from various tribes stood ready to strike at any moment.

“Attack!”

Just ten kilometers away from the first line of defense of the Spirit Heart Tribe’s stronghold, the Giant Human Wall officially launched its assault.

A year ago, the long-range attack distance of the Giant Human Wall was only about five kilometers.

Six months ago, it increased to about six kilometers.

Now, the long-range attack distance had already reached ten kilometers.

Most importantly, as the soldiers’ strength realm improved, the power of various long-range attacks surged by more than ten times.

A sea of fire, originating from the Giant Human Wall, roared toward the defense line.

The first line of defense of the Spirit Heart Tribe’s stronghold was constructed from various high-quality spirit mines, forming a massive city wall.

This massive wall could withstand continuous attacks from flames exceeding thousands of degrees.

However, the temperature of the sea of fire reached tens of thousands of degrees.

In the blink of an eye, the continuous assault from the sea of fire caused the massive wall to soften and collapse like foam.

“Retreat, quickly retreat!”

“The enemy’s attack is too powerful; don’t get close to their long-range attack area!”

The stationed troops of the Spirit Heart Tribe were thrown into chaos and began to withdraw.

The terrifying sea of fire was something even the Strong Fighter Level individuals struggled to endure for long.

What frightened the Spirit Heart Tribe even more was the vast coverage of the sea of fire; even if they organized high-end combatant teams to charge, they could never break through the blockade of the sea of fire and shatter the Giant Human Wall.

In just a moment, under the sea of fire attack from the Giant Human Wall, the first line of defense was easily torn open with four huge gaps.

None of the Spirit Heart Tribe soldiers dared to face the sea of fire to block these four massive gaps.

What completely shattered the mindset of the Spirit Heart Tribe warriors was that the four Giant Human Walls could push forward while maintaining the assault of the sea of fire.

Only, due to the alternating attacks, their power was not as terrifying as before.

Equally unexpected was that after the four Giant Human Walls and the army of the Black Tiger Tribe tore open four massive gaps and successfully breached the first line of defense, they did not continue to advance toward the second line of defense.

Instead, they had the four Giant Human Walls rotate clockwise along the giant city wall.

The sea of fire continued to obliterate all the walls on the first line of defense.

The soldiers of the Spirit Heart Tribe couldn’t comprehend the actions of the expeditionary army, but their will was collapsing and disintegrating under the advancing sea of fire.
