Chapter 528: The Army Appears

In total, it took just over ten minutes.

The three teams successfully killed all the hundreds of strong fighters responsible for managing the elite army of the Swift Tribe.

The three teams then headed towards the main gathering place of the Swift Tribe’s strong fighters.

The entire stronghold of the Swift Tribe had three defensive barriers.

One was the training area of the Swift Emperor, one was the treasure vault of the Swift Tribe.

The third was a defensive barrier that the Swift Emperor and the strong fighters of the Swift Tribe had worked overtime on over the past two months.

Zhan Cheng controlled the flying treasure, carefully avoiding various monitoring systems and sentinels, and arrived at the outer perimeter of the barrier where the Swift Emperor and several Swift Tribe strong fighters were located.

Inside the barrier, besides the Swift Emperor, there were four level 120 nobles, over fifty level 110 nobles, and more than two hundred level 100 strong fighters.

“If one strong fighter is in charge of attacking one target, our numbers might be slightly insufficient. Therefore, we will temporarily ignore the level 100 strong fighters.”

Taking advantage of the fact that the full assault had not yet started, Zhan Cheng arranged, “Once the barrier opens and the flying treasure infiltrates, we will target the Swift Emperor, the four level 120 nobles, and those level 110 nobles.”

“Unlike the previous attack, this time we will focus on heavily injuring and capturing the opponent, except for the Swift Emperor, who cannot surrender, and one level 120 noble who absolutely supports him.”

The strong fighters nodded in agreement.

Although the attack power of the Swift Tribe’s strong fighters was not particularly strong, they were still at the strong fighter level. Successfully persuading them to surrender would somewhat enhance the combat power of the expeditionary army.

After Zhan Cheng arranged all the targets, he ordered everyone to wait.

The other two teams had also reached the outer perimeters of the two defensive barriers, waiting for the start of the full assault.

In outer space, nine Space Vessels came to a halt.

Countless flying treasures began entering the atmosphere.

With a command from Guli, tens of thousands of flying treasures began to scatter outward towards the defenses of the Swift Tribe’s stronghold.

They did not enter the stronghold directly due to the extremely tight surveillance network surrounding and inside the stronghold.

Only the flying treasures crafted by Yi Chen, which had Perception Ability shielding, could infiltrate the stronghold’s interior.

Ordinary flying treasures would be detected as soon as they approached.

Of course, the expeditionary army had another method they could use.

That method involved letting tens of thousands of flying treasures all enter one of the three flying treasures crafted by Yi Chen.

Using the Perception Ability shielding of those three flying treasures, they could infiltrate the interior of the Swift Tribe’s stronghold and then transport the over two hundred million elite soldiers one by one to the gathering point.

If they did this, those over two hundred million elite soldiers would appear directly inside the Swift Tribe’s stronghold and could completely overpower the Swift Tribe’s army in a short time.

The reason they did not plan such a surprise assault on either the Spirit Heart Tribe’s or the Swift Tribe’s stronghold was that the Great Flame Empire had long-range attack abilities to directly destroy the defenses of both tribes’ strongholds.

Another primary reason was that the aim of both assaults was conquest, not destruction.

They wanted to force the Spirit Heart Tribe and the Swift Tribe to surrender as much as possible, rather than facing annihilation through overpowering attacks.

As the tens of thousands of flying treasures reached the designated area, they began to spread out rapidly.

Countless armies from various tribes rushed out of the flying treasures, quickly consolidating their formations.

“Not good! It’s the army of the Nika Tribe, and the army of the Spirit Heart Tribe!”

“Enemy attack! The enemy army suddenly appears!”

“Hurry and report to the Leader! The enemy army appeared suddenly and in unimaginable numbers!”

Soon, the Scouts and Sentinels around the Swift Tribe’s stronghold discovered that a large number of armies from the Black Tiger Tribe and the Spirit Heart Tribe were gathering.

After a brief moment of panic, they took out their communication stones, trying to contact the commanders.

But after waiting and waiting, they still couldn’t get through to anyone.

While the expeditionary army continued to gather in an orderly manner, the elite army of the Swift Tribe became restless and tense upon receiving the news.

The leaders of the Swift Tribe, after realizing they could not contact their superior, began to suspect something was wrong.

They started reaching out to other strong fighters.

…

Inside the barrier where the Emperor of the Swift Tribe was located, one of the strong fighters’ communication stones vibrated slightly.

This strong fighter took out the communication stone and used his Perception Ability to listen in.

“What?”

Upon hearing the report, the strong fighter abruptly stood up.

This strange action made Swift Emperor and all the other strong fighters nervously stop their training and look towards him.

They all had an unsettling feeling in their hearts.

“Your Majesty, something bad has happened. A commander of the elite army contacted me, saying that a large force from the Black Tiger Tribe and the Spirit Heart Tribe has suddenly appeared near the stronghold!”

The strong fighter looked grimly at Swift Emperor.

Swift Emperor’s heart sank.

This was indeed not good news.

“Wait a second! The army of the Nika Tribe suddenly appears, and logically, it should be the strong fighters responsible for commanding the army who report this to Your Majesty. Why would they contact you instead?”

One of the Swift Tribe strong fighters realized and raised a question.

“Exactly! Could it be…”

An unpleasant thought flickered through the minds of the Swift Tribe strong fighters.

“According to the commander who reported, he couldn’t reach the strong fighters in charge of commanding the army.”

The answer further confirmed the suspicions of the strong fighters.

The strong fighters responsible for commanding the army might have been taken down one by one by the Black Tiger Tribe pirate group, all killed without a sound, leaving no request for help.

“You, immediately head to the area where the elite army is located, and start receiving and commanding the troops!”

Swift Emperor decisively locked onto a group of strong fighters with his Perception Ability.

The faces of those Swift Tribe strong fighters instantly turned grim.

After the strong fighters responsible for commanding the army were assassinated, their going to take over the command posed significant risks.

However, they did not dare to refuse Swift Emperor’s order.

If they went, the risk was high.

But if they didn’t go, it was certain death.

They could only rise and fly towards the outer defensive barriers.

This defensive barrier did not have bi-directional functionality.

Swift Emperor then closed the defensive barriers, allowing the strong fighters to leave.

Once the strong fighters had left, he reopened the defensive barriers.

Even with Swift Emperor’s Perception Ability, he failed to sense a tiny flying treasure, reduced to the size of a mung bean, that had stealthily infiltrated the barrier while it was open.

Unaware, Swift Emperor gazed intently at the High-ranking Leaders and strong fighters: “The army of the Nika Tribe is pressing in fiercely. Regardless of the battle situation, we must first finalize the relocation plan.”

“Notify the high-ranking leaders of the other two barriers to stay within the defensive barriers to avoid being attacked by the Black Tiger Tribe pirate group. Begin issuing orders through the communication stones to implement the first step of the relocation plan, gathering all relocation personnel except the elite army.”

“Yes!”

The High-ranking Leaders of the Swift Tribe swiftly took out their communication stones, continuously issuing orders and contacting other high-ranking leaders of the Swift Tribe to relay the command to begin the relocation plan.
