Chapter 809: Coalition of the Seven Tribes

Soon, the leaders and high-ranking officials of various tribes arrived at the defensive barriers where the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe was located.

Each of them wore a very grim expression.

They were all wondering how the Great Flame Empire’s Military discovered their hiding place on this Deserted Star.

However, the more important matter at hand was how to deal with the troops of the Great Flame Empire.

"We only have two choices before us: either we fight the Great Flame Empire’s army!"

The Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe spoke up, "According to the intelligence gathered by scouts, the elite army of the Great Flame Empire is only about five billion strong. The remaining fifty billion are all at levels just over one hundred."

"And our coalition of the seven tribes has over seventy billion elite troops hiding on this Deserted Star, far surpassing the elite army of the Great Flame Empire."

"The other option is that the Great Flame Empire’s army is not truly surrounding this Deserted Star; they are merely gathering in one direction. We can completely mobilize our forces and retreat from this Deserted Star."

"The reason I suggest retreating, despite our overwhelming advantage in elite forces…"

The Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe expressed helplessness, "The main reason is that the enemy clearly knows our seven tribes’ elites are gathered here, yet they still chose to attack. This clearly shows they have some trump cards and confidence to defeat us."

The leaders and elders of various tribes fell into silence.

To them, both choices seemed impractical.

If they fought, as the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe said, the Great Flame Empire’s army knew the seven tribes’ elites were gathered, yet they dared to make a move, clearly having some backup and confidence to defeat the coalition.

On the other hand, where could they retreat?

If they retreated, the morale would undoubtedly take a hit, and if the Great Flame Empire’s army pursued relentlessly, it could easily lead to the collapse of the seven tribes’ forces.

Moreover, the Great Flame Empire had already launched its third round of expansion. If the coalition of the seven tribes did not dare to fight, there would be no need for the alliance to exist.

Yet, apart from these two options, the leaders and elders present could not think of any other solutions.

"Good news, incredible news!"

A suddenly ecstatic elder exclaimed.

The gathered leaders and elders turned to look at him.

The elder quickly explained, "I just received news that the Great Flame Empire’s army is not only attacking us, but they have also divided into eight paths, simultaneously attacking eight other areas, including the alliance formed by the Kross Tribe."

The leaders and elders of various tribes were dumbfounded.

Was this good news or incredible news?

This clearly seemed like a disastrous revelation!

This information indicated that the strength of the Great Flame Empire had exceeded their imagination.

Knowing that the seven tribe coalition existed, they split into nine paths, leaving only one to attack the coalition.

This meant that the Great Flame Empire’s forces here might only be one-ninth of their total strength.

Even with just one-ninth of their strength, they dared to take the initiative to attack the seven tribe coalition.

Even if the coalition emerged victorious, it would only mean they defeated or destroyed one-ninth of the Great Flame Empire’s forces, still facing the threat posed by the Empire.

Of course, this news was not entirely bad.

The good side was that the Great Flame Empire was indeed being overly arrogant.

This news essentially proved that the Great Flame Empire found it difficult to mobilize elite armies for support.

Moreover, with the Great Flame Empire attacking from nine directions, if they communicated with the other races under attack, it would no longer be just a coalition of seven tribes, but instead form a coalition of twenty-two tribes to jointly fight against the Great Flame Empire.

"First, let’s contact the leaders of the various tribes and see if we can reach an agreement!"

The Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe made a quick decision.

Although this news was not good, it provided him with another idea.

That was to unite with other tribes, hold onto their bases, and tie down the Great Flame Empire’s army.

Then, the tribes could gather forces from the major life planets to form a new elite army and strike at the Great Flame Empire’s various units.

Though the elite armies of the tribes had been depleted, many garrisons still remained on the major life planets, making it possible to mobilize an elite army without much difficulty.

…

While the Purple Eagle Tribe Alliance began contacting the other tribe leaders to discuss countermeasures,

outside the Deserted Star, the Great Flame Empire’s army had completed its gathering.

The hundred billion troops were now fully assembled.

The strongest armies were the Leaf Lion Clan and the Zhanxin Clan, with a combined force of fifty billion and an average cultivation level exceeding one hundred sixty.

However, the true main force remained the eastern human army.

As the first batch of children who joined the Great Flame Empire gradually matured, the empire’s army had entered a period of rapid expansion.

During the second round of expansion, the army had only numbered around twenty million.

Now, in just a few months, it had swelled to over thirty million.

However, dividing into nine paths significantly weakened their strength.

During the second round of expansion, they only attacked three targets simultaneously, with over seven million troops in each direction.

This time, dividing into nine paths, the human army consisted of five million troops attacking two coalitions, while the remaining seven paths had even fewer than three million each.

As in previous tactics, after the army’s gathering, the eastern human army moved forward as the vanguard.

Five million faced seven hundred billion elite troops on the Deserted Star without any fear.

This confidence stemmed from numerous previous battles.

The five million human army also had enough confidence.

After several months, their levels had significantly improved thanks to the Fifth Generation Cave Paradise.

The seven hundred billion elite troops posed no threat to them whatsoever.

…

At the same time, the assassination team received notice and officially set off toward the Deserted Star.

Like the Great Flame Empire’s army, the entire assassination team also divided into nine paths.

In charge of one path were Mares, a Shadow King, and the level 210 Leaf Lion Clan leader, along with five strong fighters from various tribes, all at level 200.

In total, there were only eight strong fighters.

On the surface, it was clear that the upper echelon of the Purple Eagle Tribe Alliance had stronger overall strength.

This was because the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe also reached over level 220, similar to Mares’ level.

Below the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe, there were six strong fighters from various tribes at level 210, as well as five elders from the Purple Eagle Tribe.

This meant there were a total of eleven strong fighters at level 210.

In contrast, the assassination team only had two fighters at level 210: the Shadow King and the Leaf Lion Clan leader.

The gap in the number of level 200 fighters was even wider.

In the area of the Deserted Star, there were over one hundred fighters from the Purple Eagle Tribe Alliance.

However, the assassination team had only five.

Yet, despite the vast difference in numbers, the strength was actually greater on the side of the assassination team.

Since Mares, as a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, was inherently stronger than the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe at the same level.

Moreover, Mares could leverage the Shadow King’s stealth techniques for a close-range ambush on the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe.

The number of powerful treasures in his possession was enough to make the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe hardly believe it.
