Chapter 525: Marching Again

After successfully subduing six Marquises and thirty-five Counts, Yi Chen gained another significant advantage for the future defeat of the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster.

He focused on his training and easily broke through to the sixth level of the True Immortal Stage in just over half a month.

As for the expeditionary army, all the strong fighters from the persuasion team had returned to Colin Planet.

Accompanying them were over two hundred powerful tribe chiefs from the Black Tiger Tribe who were at level 120, as well as over a thousand strong beings from the Black Tiger Tribe at level 110.

This boosted the number of strong fighters at level 120 in the expeditionary army several times.

Top-tier combat power increased significantly.

On the Spirit Heart Tribe’s side, the army also finished its consolidation and was ready to move out.

"Notify all the tribes to gather and prepare to march on the Swift Tribe’s lair!"

Having confirmed that they could send troops, Guli convened a meeting with all the High-ranking Leaders and officially issued the expedition order.

The various tribes began to act quickly.

When they attacked the Spirit Heart Tribe’s lair before, the Black Tiger Tribe had shown a lack of enthusiasm in their efforts, but this time they erupted with great fervor.

One hundred million elite soldiers gathered even faster than the two hundred million soldiers of the Demon Race.

This was due to the fact that during the conquest of the Spirit Heart Tribe, the Demon Race’s contribution was vastly inflated because of their passive attitude, causing their total contribution to be several times higher than that of the Black Tiger Tribe.

The high-ranking members and strong fighters of the Black Tiger Tribe, along with their hundred million soldiers, received some contribution despite not performing well.

As a result, the number of top fighters in the Demon Race was even greater than that of the Black Tiger Tribe.

This not only meant that the Black Tiger Tribe lost a massive amount of contribution during the conquest of the Spirit Heart Tribe, but also gave the Demon Race, who had previously been disregarded, the chance to rise.

Contribution, even a little, represented unimaginable resources and treasures.

The high-ranking leaders and strong fighters of the Black Tiger Tribe, as well as ordinary soldiers, felt a crushing pain in their hearts.

They no longer dared to dwell on the Great Flame Empire taking all their territories or their arrogance and power.

After all, profit was the most important thing.

The only thing that made the Black Tiger Tribe feel fortunate was that the high-ranking leaders of the expeditionary army seemed to be focused on boosting the enthusiasm of the Spirit Heart Tribe while simultaneously not planning to support the top combat power of the Demon Race to continue rising.

All contributions made by the fighters of the Spirit Heart Tribe in the future would count as contributions of the Spirit Heart Tribe alone.

This renewed hope for the Black Tiger Tribe to surpass the Demon Race.

Once the strong fighters from various tribes of the Black Tiger Tribe arrived to provide support, confidence soared.

With the addition of these Black Tiger Tribe fighters, their numbers reached an absolute main force level.

In fact, even the entire Spirit Heart Tribe became insignificant.

In comparison, although the Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe reached level 130, there were only twelve strong fighters at level 120 among them.

On the other hand, the Black Tiger Tribe boasted over three hundred strong fighters at level 120.

It was completely overwhelming.

When it came to the number of top-tier combat power, even combined, the Demon Race and Spirit Heart Tribe could not compare to the Black Tiger Tribe at all.

The elite army of the Demon Race is negligible, while the Spirit Heart Tribe can mobilize around one hundred million elite fighters.

Without sending their main forces to the battlefield from the various planets of the Black Tiger Tribe, they are roughly equal to the Spirit Heart Tribe.

However, the overall strength of the Black Tiger Tribe is higher than that of the Spirit Heart Tribe at the same level.

Moreover, when working together with the eastern human army, the elite army of the Black Tiger Tribe far surpasses that of the Spirit Heart Tribe, which had only trained with the eastern human army for just over a month.

Because of this, all the soldiers of the Black Tiger Tribe are holding back their breaths, eager to decisively suppress the Demon Race and Spirit Heart Tribe during the attack on the Swift Tribe, and even to dominate in terms of contribution, thus re-establishing the Black Tiger Tribe as the primary force in the expeditionary army.

In response to the excitement and enthusiasm of the Black Tiger Tribe’s soldiers, the Demon Race remains calm.

Although the soldiers of the Demon Race desire to reach new heights of contribution, the high-ranking leaders show little interest.

Especially the Demon Emperor, the swamp crocodile, who is indifferent and only focused on clinging to Yi Chen, this golden opportunity.

Not even short-term gains matter to them, not to mention potential benefits.

This leads to the subtle influence of the swamp crocodile’s mindset on the upper echelons of the Demon Race.

When it comes time to express loyalty, they show their utmost dedication through their actions.

Casual conversations mean little.

By avoiding grudges and fostering goodwill, they are willing to incur some losses.

With the high-ranking leaders holding this attitude, even if ordinary soldiers of the Demon Race want to compete, they cannot.

On the other hand, the Spirit Heart Tribe bursts forth with significant enthusiasm.

Through various channels, the Spirit Heart Tribe has learned about the operational style of the Great Flame Empire.

They understand that as long as they make substantial contributions, the benefits are truly unimaginable.

Moreover, if they contribute enough, young talents or descendants of strong fighters may even enter the Cave Paradise of the Great Flame Empire to train, rapidly enhancing their strength realm.

In less than half a day, the armies from various tribes successfully gathered at the lair of the Spirit Heart Tribe.

Soon, tens of thousands of flying treasures appeared within the ranks of the armies.

The various tribes calmly boarded the flying treasures.

Over two hundred million elite soldiers were transported onto the Space Vessels by the flying treasures.

Once the armies were settled, the Space Vessels accelerated to leave Colin Planet, officially beginning space jumps after breaking light speed and escaping the gravitational pull of nearby celestial bodies.

In just over an hour, ten Space Vessels reached the outer space of the Swift Tribe’s home planet one after another.

They then slowed down and began to advance steadily towards the planet.

Flying treasures continuously set out along the route to the Space Vessels, clearing the Swift Tribe’s scouts and sentinels.

On the Large Battleships, Guli gathered the high-ranking leaders from various tribes to discuss the full assault plan.

"This major attack will follow the same plan set a few months ago; we will strike with thunderous force to crush and destroy the Swift Tribe’s lair while killing the Swift Emperor."

The high-ranking leaders all nodded in agreement.

This plan had been established long before.

The main reason lies in the difference between the character of the Swift Emperor and that of the Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe.

Moreover, unlike the Leader of the Spirit Heart Tribe, who had his psychological defenses obliterated by various devastating strikes from War City, the Swift Emperor was not as easily shaken by the vibrations of a communication stone.

Capturing the Swift Emperor and persuading him to surrender could potentially lead to his loyalty, but that process takes time.

Since the Swift Tribe possesses the advantage of speed, it does not greatly benefit the expeditionary army. It is better to decisively suppress and conquer swiftly.

"Based on the information data provided by the Intelligence Organization, the movements of the Swift Tribe are about what we expected," Guli stated.

"But some adjustments are slightly off from our expectations. Therefore, our full assault plan needs to be adjusted accordingly."

The high-ranking leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe and Spirit Heart Tribe perked up their ears.

They hope these adjustments will allow their respective races to gain higher contributions.
