Chapter 788: Surrender of the Tribe

“Are you a force controlled by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe?”

The clan leader of the Zhanxin Clan looked at Mares helplessly.

“No! We are a force controlled by the Great Flame Empire.”

Mares quickly shook his head.

“The Great Flame Empire?”

The clan leader and the elders were puzzled.

Had it nothing to do with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe?

But all the attack plans seemed to follow the same pattern as those of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

“The Great Flame Empire is an entity you will understand clearly in a few years. But right now, the most important thing is whether you have made a decision.”

Mares was too lazy to explain.

In fact, explaining now would only increase their worries.

After all, based on the average cultivation level and the number of top-tier combatants, the Great Flame Empire did not seem like a powerful race.

Only those who understood Yi Chen knew just how strong the Great Flame Empire truly was.

If given the choice, even if the opposing side consisted of all the races in the super star cluster, they would not hesitate to stand with the Great Flame Empire.

“I want to know, if we choose to surrender as a whole tribe, how will you treat the Zhanxin Clan?”

The clan leader of the Zhanxin Clan asked.

Mares smiled calmly.

With a wave of his hand, a contract flew out and appeared before the clan leader and the elders.

The clan leader and the elders immediately used their Perception Ability to probe into the contract.

The contents inside made them all secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Some even felt joy.

Because the terms of this contract were even more favorable than those offered by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The only issue was that the so-called Great Flame Empire did not allow the conquered tribes to possess territory.

Facing the threat of destruction, although this condition made the clan leader and the elders somewhat dissatisfied, it was not unacceptable.

The clan leader and the elders exchanged glances and quickly announced their willingness to surrender as a whole tribe.

Even though they did not know exactly what kind of force the Great Flame Empire was, the other side had at least two level 220 strong fighters.

What was most terrifying was that these strong fighters could use special methods and abilities to silently infiltrate the defensive barriers.

One could even say that if it weren’t for the slightly lower realm, they were even more skilled than the Tree-Dwelling Tribe in terms of tactics.

Soon, the strong fighters and soldiers of the Zhanxin Clan received the order to surrender as a whole tribe and to abandon resistance.

Then, the Marshal War City, upon receiving notification, also began issuing orders for the Shadow Clan and various tribes’ soldiers to go and take over and manage the Zhanxin Clan’s soldiers and people.

Countless flying treasures then entered the large battleships in outer space, heading to the various life planets of the Zhanxin Clan for management.

The soldiers of humanity in the Great Flame Empire all entered the Fifth Generation Cave Paradise to train.

With the Shadow Clan present, they did not need to worry about receiving and consolidating the elite army of the Zhanxin Clan.

Their task was to take advantage of the time spent integrating the elite army of the Zhanxin Clan to enhance their cultivation level in the Fifth Generation Cave Paradise, preparing for the next round of attack.

Unlike the deeply-rooted Tree-Dwelling Tribe, which could simultaneously allow vassal races to attack multiple races, the current Great Flame Empire, after successfully conquering the Zhanxin Clan, did not have the capacity to continue expanding.

They would need several months to fully incorporate the elite army of the Zhanxin Clan before they could expand further.

However, this situation was only temporary.

After incorporating the elite army of the Zhanxin Clan, the next round of expansion for the Military of the Great Flame Empire could quickly conquer two or three smaller races.

As long as the Great Flame Empire continued to maintain its policy of sacrificing interests to pursue participation from various elite armies, the size of their military would grow like a snowball.

Soon, the news that the Zhanxin Clan had been conquered by a force called the Great Flame Empire and had chosen to surrender as a whole tribe rapidly spread to the surrounding areas.

This caused a great stir and shock among the neighboring races.

However, since only a smaller race had been conquered, this news only circulated within the Golden Cloud Star Cluster and did not spread beyond it.

…

In this star cluster, two large battleships successively arrived at the Tianling Star Cluster through the Space Jump System.

Afterward, they headed toward the blood-colored planet.

Upon arriving near the blood-colored planet, the two large battleships halted.

Immediately, powerful presences flew out from the large battleships.

Two level 230 strong fighters, over a dozen level 220 fighters, and hundreds of level 210 fighters emerged.

They came from various races, all summoned by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe through their vassal races.

Their mission was to capture and control Yi Chen.

No strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were willing to come to this star cluster anymore.

But the strong fighters from the vassal races had no such concerns.

After leaving the large battleships, they immediately rushed toward the blood-colored planet at full speed.

Their powerful Perception Ability spread out continuously.

However, after taking great care, when they finally reached the blood-colored planet, they were stunned.

Because from beginning to end, they had not encountered any of the dangers the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had mentioned might exist.

More importantly, there were no humans on the blood-colored planet at all.

This was completely inconsistent with the information provided by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Could it be that they found the wrong place?

The two level 230 strong fighters looked at each other. One of them took out a communicator and contacted the Captain of the Large Battleship to ask if there was a mistake with their coordinates.

The conclusion was that the coordinates were correct, and they were indeed near the blood-colored planet.

They then directly entered the blood-colored planet and captured the strongest members of the Black Tiger Tribe present there.

Through the extracted memories, they finally understood.

This was indeed the headquarters of the Great Flame Empire, but just half a month ago, the Great Flame Empire had already migrated away.

As for where they had moved, the members of the Black Tiger Tribe did not know due to their lower level.

“Darnell, let’s contact Galid and ask?”

One level 230 strong fighter looked at his companion.

Darnell, the level 230 strong fighter, nodded.

His companion immediately took out a communication stone and contacted the High-ranking Leaders of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department.

“Moxus, have you found the strongest member of humanity?”

Galid, the chief supervisor of the foreign affairs department, asked eagerly.

He had been closely watching this matter as soon as the two large battleships were about to arrive in the star cluster.

When he received the news that the large battleships had reached the star cluster, he even interrupted his training, anxiously waiting for updates.

“No, the Great Flame Empire has migrated away. As for where they have gone, we don’t know for now.”

Moxus briefly introduced what had happened after they arrived at the blood-colored planet.

“Great! Find a way to discover where the Great Flame Empire has migrated and locate the strongest member of humanity.”

Galid was overjoyed.

His biggest worry was that Moxus and the others would be attacked after arriving at the blood-colored planet.

After all, Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, had set a record by making ten level 220 powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe disappear simultaneously.

Although Moxus and Darnell were both level 230 strong fighters and not from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they shouldn’t be affected by this star cluster.

Still, until the results came in, he felt some anxiety.

The Great Flame Empire migrating away, in his view, was incredibly good news.

Because this indicated that the strongest member of humanity had lost confidence in handling stronger search teams with the cards he had and had chosen to migrate.

As long as they could find the new hiding place of the Great Flame Empire, they would likely be able to complete this task.
