Chapter 812: The Restless Tree-Dwelling Tribe

Teleportation.

The five hundred thousand soldiers moved together in an instant while maintaining their formation.

The Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe and the various tribe leaders and elders were dumbfounded.

They gaped in disbelief at the reality revealed by their Perception Ability.

This terrifying long-range attacking army was not out of energy and in need of rest; it was demonstrating its power and might.

They were indeed scared.

With over ten thousand kilometers of attack range, rivaling the strength of two hundred level strong fighters, combined with the capability of ultra-long-range teleportation,

what could they use to withstand such a force?

"Surrender! We, the Purple Eagle Tribe, are willing to surrender as a whole!"

The Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe no longer hesitated.

The powerful assassination teams and the terrifying vanguard army left no room for consideration.

Surrender was their only choice besides complete annihilation.

"Surrender! We, the Toke Tribe, are also willing to surrender as a whole."

"We are willing to surrender as a tribe!"

The six major tribes chose to surrender collectively.

"Very good, very nice!"

Mares’s face lit up with joy.

With a thought, a contract light orb flew into the space-type treasure, appearing before the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe and others.

The Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe and the others instantly penetrated their Perception Ability into it.

The contract’s content filled them with joy.

They even felt a desire to complain.

If only this contract had been presented earlier, they might have surrendered without a battle.

Of course, that was only a thought after the fact.

If they had not demonstrated sufficient power, no matter how favorable the contract, they would not have made the significant decision to surrender.

At the very least, such a significant decision could not be made in the short term.

Once the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe and the six tribe leaders signed the surrender contract, Mares immediately contacted the Marshal War City.

The War City pulled out a communication stone to contact Zong Shan.

Soon, the million-strong eastern human army halted their attacks and, using their teleportation ability, instantly retreated into their ranks.

The army then began to advance toward the Deserted Star.

At the same time, the Leader of the Purple Eagle Tribe, the elders, and the other tribe leaders and elders pulled out their communication stones, contacting the commanders of their elite armies, while also informing the elders left behind.

The seven tribes’ alliance on the Deserted Star began to abandon their resistance, waiting for the Great Flame Empire’s army to take over.

In one day, the other eight armies also conquered their respective targets one after another.

As the news spread, all the major races in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster fell into extreme panic once again.

From the moment the Great Flame Empire’s army began to mobilize to the time when twenty-two races announced their collective surrender, it all happened in less than three days.

In less than three days, to conquer twenty-two races was an astonishing speed.

Moreover, the achievements far surpassed those of the second expansion.

During the second expansion, they only conquered three smaller races.

But this time, they conquered twenty-two races, including two medium-sized races.

At the same time, this was a record of the Great Flame Empire’s army dividing into nine paths to achieve success.

It was terrifying to the extreme.

This indicated that the Great Flame Empire’s army could very possibly take down a large race in a very short time.

According to the Great Flame Empire’s previous three expansions, the fourth expansion would indeed likely target a large race.

Adding to that was the Great Flame Empire’s army’s elusive ability for long-distance troop transport; just the thought of it sent shivers down the spines of all races in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, leaving everyone feeling insecure.

All races, large, medium, and small, especially those surrounding the Great Flame Empire, began to reach out to one another, discussing alliances and responses.

What these races’ leaders and High-ranking Leaders did not know was that not only they, but even the leaders and high-ranking members of the three dominant races—the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe—were also gripped by fear at this moment.

…

"The strongest member of humanity and the Great Flame Empire are just stalling for time!"

In the conference room, the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the top hundred elders gathered.

Their faces looked incredibly grim.

During this time, they learned that the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe had jointly sent a negotiation team to meet with Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire to discuss an alliance, continuously raising the stakes through the Federal Parliament and the Military’s high-ranking officials.

But without exception, they had not even glimpsed Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, while the Great Flame Empire’s Political Council had been dragging out the negotiations, claiming they needed time to study.

At first, the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the elders thought Yi Chen was raising his asking price, trying to force the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe to offer better terms for the alliance.

Then they suddenly received news of the Great Flame Empire’s army unexpectedly launching their third expansion, conquering twenty-two races in one go, including two medium-sized races.

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the elders finally realized what was truly happening.

They understood that Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire were not just haggling; they were intentionally stalling, holding back the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe.

The longer the delay, the more races the Great Flame Empire could conquer, making them less and less afraid of the pressure from the three dominant races.

Because based on the Great Flame Empire’s expansion approach, as long as they conquered one race, their power would increase by one.

And the longer it took, the higher the average cultivation level and strength of the Great Flame Empire’s army would rise, thanks to the effects of the Cave Paradise.

More importantly, the longer this continued, the stronger the strength realm of that strongest member of humanity would become.

"We cannot allow the Great Flame Empire to expand like this any longer. The Time Tribe and Reincarnation Tribe might not realize it yet; they are probably still debating how to elevate their offerings and conditions to surpass the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and successfully form an alliance with the Great Flame Empire."

"We are more than clear about the talent of this strongest member of humanity and just how terrifyingly powerful he is. We understand how he has created the Cave Paradise, which has rapidly elevated the average cultivation level of the Great Flame Empire’s citizens."

The Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe spoke solemnly.

His words immediately garnered nods of agreement from the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the other elders.

Their thoughts aligned with those of the Second Elder.

The talent of the strongest member of humanity was too formidable, the increase in the Great Flame Empire’s strength was too terrifying, and their expansion speed was beyond comprehension. If the Great Flame Empire were allowed to develop like this, it would undoubtedly lead to a scenario where even the three dominant races would struggle to counter the Great Flame Empire’s expansion.

"To resolve this crisis posed by the Great Flame Empire, the most important point is to kill Yi Chen, that strongest member of humanity."

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe stated, "As long as we can kill the strongest member of humanity, the Great Flame Empire will vanish like smoke, and will be no longer a threat."

The elders fell silent.

To kill the strongest member of humanity…

The elder teams from the three tribes had all been ambushed and captured; how could they possibly assassinate this strongest member of humanity?

"Do not forget, Yi Chen was able to ambush and capture the elder teams precisely because he set traps and used special means to severely impact the elders’ Perception Ability,"

the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe reminded them. "Moreover, according to the Great Elder and the Third Elder, their true top-tier combat power consists of only four individuals. In reality, only two of them have reached level 230, relying solely on the Shadow King’s stealth techniques and methods to launch a close-range ambush to defeat level 240 strong fighters."

At this, the eyes of the elders all brightened with realization.
