Chapter 568
by fanqienovelChapter 568: Launching a Strong Assault
The strong members of the Flying Wolf Tribe were already at their limits.
Upon hearing the retreat order, they began to fight while falling back, moving quickly.
The soldiers of the Flying Wolf Tribe were not so fortunate.
Although they had not charged far, they could not defend against the fire dragons while retreating like the stronger members of their tribe.
Despite receiving the retreat order, they were still met with continuous screams in the face of the dense fire dragons.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of Flying Wolf soldiers, only a few could manage to escape back to the severely damaged energy shield.
Moreover, these few survivors, although they had successfully returned to the energy shield, did not mean they were safe.
The million-strong eastern human army assembled their firepower once more and launched a frenzied attack on the crumbling energy shield.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Poxin Tribe members were completely defeated.
The massive energy shield totally collapsed.
All the soldiers of the Extreme Fire Tribe and Poxin Tribe, along with a small number of surviving Flying Wolf Tribe members, met with the onslaught of fire dragons.
“Extreme Fire Tribe, use long-range attacks to fend off the enemy’s assault and cover the retreat of the Poxin Tribe and Flying Wolf Tribe!”
The Commander adjusted the strategy once again.
As the surviving members of the Poxin Tribe and Flying Wolf Tribe retreated in disarray, the soldiers of the Extreme Fire Tribe gritted their teeth and unleashed waves of fire dragons, trying to counter and resist the fire dragon attacks from the eastern human army.
Unfortunately, while the power was similarly matched, their numbers could not compare to the million-strong human army.
More importantly, when the eastern human army noticed that the Extreme Fire Tribe began to use the power of the fire laws to counterattack, they quickly changed tactics and switched to the lightning laws, launching their assault from above against the Army of the Three Races.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Army of the Three Races was thoroughly engulfed in defeat.
All the soldiers crazily fled toward the direction of the vanguard.
The strong members of the three races were adept at handling the chaos, but instead of blocking the rear to stop the human army’s advance, they used their faster speed and reactions to sprint ahead of the main forces.
The million-strong army faced total annihilation.
After holding on for just over ten minutes, they suffered heavy losses and returned in disgrace.
Out of the million soldiers of the three races, only about a hundred thousand managed to escape back to the vanguard.
However, inside the command center, the strongest members and High-ranking Leaders of the sixteen tribes were quite satisfied with the results of this wave of attacks.
This assault not only displayed the united strength of the various tribes perfectly but also revealed to humanity the shortcomings of being unable to withstand the long-range attacks of the eastern human army.
It was a genuine act of showing weakness, and there were no details that could be criticized!
On the other side, teams of Swift Tribe squads quickly crossed over the eastern human army from behind to clean up the battlefield.
The heavily injured soldiers of the three races were all captured.
Once they confirmed that there were no escaping fish and ambushes, the eastern human army continued to advance forward.
The vanguard followed closely behind.
On the side of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes, the vanguard also switched from offense to defense, taking on a defensive stance.
It seemed flawless.
However, in reality, the entire vanguard, consisting of billions of soldiers, was already prepared to launch a Full Assault.
The commanders of the main group in the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes received orders from the command center to speed up their advance.
The battle of life and death was about to arrive.
The eastern human army, seemingly oblivious, continued to advance at a slow and steady pace.
The distance between the two sides once again closed in.
When they were only six or seven kilometers apart, a huge energy shield began to appear in front of the vanguard of the sixteen tribes.
This massive energy shield stretched for dozens of kilometers, covering the entire front of the vanguard.
It was the vanguard that had gathered a vast number of Poxin Tribe soldiers, using their mental energy to build this defensive line.
As the eastern human army moved to about five kilometers away, Guli issued her command.
Dense fire dragons once again roared forth, crashing toward the giant energy shield.
The power was still only one-tenth.
The coverage distance was also about five kilometers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the fire dragons struck the massive energy shield. Although they continuously blasted openings in the shield, the Poxin Tribe constantly replenished these gaps due to their numerical advantage.
No matter how fiercely the fire dragons attacked, they could not break the blockade of the giant energy shield.
The eastern human army continued attacking while slowly pushing forward.
The difference was that behind them, the Swift Tribe and the army of the Black Tiger Tribe began to mobilize quickly, ready to launch a powerful assault at any moment.
Four thousand five hundred meters, four thousand three hundred meters, four thousand two hundred meters…
The heartbeat of the vanguard’s commander quickened.
He understood that the final battle was about to begin.
If there were no unexpected events, the Great Flame Empire’s long-range attacking army would switch to allow the army of the Black Tiger Tribe to charge once they advanced to about three kilometers, which was the limit for the Extreme Fire Tribe’s long-range attacks.
And before the army of the Black Tiger Tribe charged, it would be the best time for the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes to launch their Full Assault.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
As time rapidly passed, the distance between the two sides shrank, and the army of the Swift Tribe had completed its deployment, appearing above the eastern human army.
Meanwhile, the army of the Black Tiger Tribe was also very close to the eastern human army, ready to surge across them and strike at the army of the sixteen tribes.
“Attack! Full attack!”
Just as the eastern human army was about to enter the three-kilometer mark, the commander of the Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes roared madly.
In the next moment, the entire vanguard surged forward, launching a strong attack.
A mighty army of twenty million Cangyu Tribe warriors rushed out of the energy shield, charging with all their strength.
The Cangyu Tribe ranked among the lowest in attack power among the sixteen tribes.
But their speed was the fastest among them.
Twenty million Cangyu Tribe warriors disregarded formation and charged at full speed.
They all wore special treasures, crafted from low-grade immortal ores that could withstand the fire laws, provided by the Extreme Fire Tribe.
Carrying these treasures allowed them to easily defend against the fire attacks from the eastern human army.
They also had some defense against attacks from the lightning laws.
Following the twenty million Cangyu Tribe warriors, nearly three hundred million from the vanguard also charged forward with all their might.
Their mission was to destroy the eastern human army at any cost.
Even if it meant the complete annihilation of their own forces, they aimed to achieve this goal.
Achieving this goal would give the strongest members of various tribes a sense of guaranteed victory.
Behind them, the entire Alliance of the Sixteen Tribes maintained their formation while pushing their speed to the limit as much as possible.
Unfortunately, the reality did not unfold as smoothly as they imagined.
What surprised the High-ranking Leaders of the sixteen tribes was that although the vanguard launched a strong attack first, the eastern human army did not retreat, and the armies of the Black Tiger Tribe and the Swift Tribe did not charge to cover their retreat.
This was somewhat illogical.
After all, this long-range attacking army was the ace force of the Great Flame Empire, a position of advantage.
Logically, they should be protected at all costs.
The attitude of the Great Flame Empire made the High-ranking Leaders of the sixteen tribes feel uneasy.
But with the Full Assault already initiated and the decisive battle commenced, it was too late to notice any discrepancies.
In an instant, the Cangyu Tribe army had killed in to within two kilometers of the eastern human army.
The strong members of the Cangyu Tribe were even less than one kilometer away from the eastern human army.
“Ice Spikes, full attack!”
Guli finally issued the command for a full-scale attack.
