Chapter 797: Preparing to Move Out

“What?”

Not long after the leader of the Time Tribe received the news, the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe also received information from the leader of the Intelligence Organization of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

“You mean that there’s a force called the Great Flame Empire in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster that possesses large-scale long-distance troop transport capability?”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s expression darkened to an extreme.

If the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe spared no effort to seize control of the Great Flame Empire, it would mean that the advantage of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s large-scale long-distance troop transport capability would be completely wiped out.

This was something he could not accept at all.

The continuous expansions had already made him envision unifying the entire super star cluster.

“Not only that, but I have a feeling that the Great Flame Empire sounds familiar. I contacted the Ninth Elder of the foreign affairs department. Based on our deductions, this Great Flame Empire is very likely to be the force created by the strongest member of humanity who escaped to the super star cluster.”

The leader of the Intelligence Organization continued.

“Is it him?”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe suddenly recalled that he had indeed seen the name of this force, the Great Flame Empire, among various reports concerning the strongest member of humanity.

“Leader, should we send strong fighters there?”

The leader of the Intelligence Organization hesitated to speak.

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe remained silent.

Logically, they should absolutely send strong fighters there.

The Great Flame Empire’s large-scale long-distance troop transport capability, if seized and controlled by the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe, would be an irreparable blow to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Thus, even if it meant destroying the Great Flame Empire, they could not allow the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe to take control.

Not to mention, that strongest member of humanity could create Cave Paradises, which significantly raised the average cultivation level of the entire Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The key point is…

The leader of the Intelligence Organization was not alone in feeling a bit apprehensive; even the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe felt uneasy.

He hadn’t paid much attention to this strongest member of humanity.

However, he had read quite a bit of relevant information.

He was aware that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had suffered significant losses because of this strongest member, including two level 230 strong fighters and over twenty level 220 strong fighters from the vassal races.

In particular, the last loss made the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe vaguely aware that the severe losses faced by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe in the star cluster outside their main region were likely not merely due to a lack of compatibility with the star cluster.

It was highly probable that the strongest member of humanity was behind it.

Otherwise, with the vassal races’ strong fighters sent, including two strong fighters at level 230, they shouldn’t have been completely wiped out even if they encountered a level 240 strong fighter.

This implied that the strongest member of humanity possessed combat power comparable to a level 240 strong fighter.

Although sending an additional group of elders would leave the strongest member of humanity with no means to resist even if he had combat power comparable to a level 240 strong fighter, the recurring results had left the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe with psychological shadows.

He felt a bit scared; it seemed like everything was certain, yet the results could still be unexpected.

“Notify the Great Elder and the Third Elder; have them go in person! Before they leave, make a trip to the treasure vault and bring more powerful treasures.”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe gritted his teeth and finally made his decision.

There was no choice; no matter how great his psychological burden was, he had to go.

The consequences of not going could very well enable the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe to gain large-scale long-distance transport capability, which would greatly negatively affect the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s plans to unify the super star cluster.

It could even reverse the advantages currently held by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and put them at a disadvantage.

“Understood!”

The Leader of the Intelligence Organization nodded.

…

“Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire are indeed in the super star cluster?”

Lu Qingxian, Parliament Chairman of the human federation, and the federal High-ranking Leaders were dumbfounded upon receiving the news.

The action of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe required the cooperation of a Large Battleship.

Thus, they received the news immediately before the Tree-Dwelling Tribe acted.

“What should we do?”

The federal High-ranking Leaders exchanged puzzled glances.

They faced two choices.

One was to hope that the Great Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe could succeed.

This operation seemed certain; there were over thirty elder-level strong fighters involved, including the Great Elder and the Third Elder.

But the problem was that seemingly certain plans had repeatedly ended in failure.

This time, they felt uncertain as well.

The other choice was to inform Yi Chen through the undercover agents from the Revival Army before the Tree-Dwelling elders took action, doing him a favor.

However, Yi Chen might not appreciate it.

Just a few months ago, the human federation had informed Yi Chen through the undercover agents, expressing their willingness to submit to his rule and provide resources and treasures at all costs.

The answer received had still been a refusal.

Furthermore, notifying Yi Chen carried significant risks.

If the Tree-Dwelling Tribe discovered this, it would inevitably cause a rift between the two sides.

It could end up being a situation where they gained nothing at all.

“I think we should wait and see how things unfold!”

Lu Qingxian pondered for a while before speaking. “This time, not only the Tree-Dwelling Tribe but also the Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe will certainly send a large number of elders to the Golden Cloud Star Cluster.”

“Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire are likely inescapable.”

“Who knows…” a military High-ranking Leader sighed, “Don’t forget that after Yi Chen escaped from the exile planet with the Great Flame Kingdom, it was one or two years later that he began to expand in the Tianling Star Cluster. Moreover, he kept the news under wraps for several years, preventing us from figuring it out.”

“By the time we learned that he and the Great Flame Empire were in the Tianling Star Cluster, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s powerful beings had already approached him, with absolute confidence in dealing with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

“Adding to that, considering his manner of operating on the exile planet, we can be sure that he would never take risks without complete assurance. Any actions that appear impossible or dangerous merely seem so to us because we do not understand his capabilities and trump cards; the facts prove he is not reckless.”

“This time, it could be the same. Since Yi Chen dared to expand the Great Flame Empire in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, he could not be unaware that rumors would circulate, attracting the powerful beings from the three dominant races.”

Once again, the group fell silent.

Though they couldn’t comprehend how Yi Chen could counter the elder teams from the three races, they believed that this possibility was not impossible.

If Yi Chen were willing to take on the human federation, they would not hesitate to gamble on it.

But the problem was that even if they notified Yi Chen, it wouldn’t change his attitude toward the human federation.

After much discussion, they could not come up with a better choice or decision.

By the time they received the news that the Large Battleship had set off, they realized they had no choice left.

Notifying Yi Chen wouldn’t change anything.

The elder team of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was adopting a strategy of taking turns performing Space Jumps with the Large Battleships.

Once they set off, they would reach the Golden Cloud Star Cluster in just three or four hours.
