Chapter 842: Yi Chen Takes Action

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the leader of the Time Tribe, and the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe, the three leaders of the dominant races and the only three strong fighters in the super star cluster, all looked at each other in silence.

They hoped that one of them would propose a feasible plan.

However, after a long period of silence, none of the three leaders could come up with any solution.

This was a complete deadlock.

Whether it was large-scale warfare or top-tier combat power, they all felt uncertain.

The former had already proven that, although the eastern human army was significantly outnumbered, their strength was enough to overpower the trillion-strong elite army with just two hundred million troops.

As for the latter, it had not been proven.

Yet, they hesitated to take the risk.

Yi Chen had achieved remarkable feats, attacking and killing or capturing over a hundred elders from the three races in a surprise strike alone.

This meant that even they, as level 250 strong fighters, could not withstand Yi Chen’s assassination techniques if their positions were exposed.

The assassination skills and abilities of Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, greatly undermined their confidence.

Only after Yi Chen made his appearance would these strong fighters dare to truly engage in battle.

“If it comes to it, we might consider sending out a small number of leaders to attack the eastern human army as assassins.”

One leader of a large race, seeing the three strong fighters fall into silence, proposed,

“The assassination teams of the Great Flame Empire are elusive, but in fact, we have many strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques among our large races.”

As soon as he said this, the strong fighters among the three races and the various tribe leaders’ eyes lit up.

“This method is worth trying!”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe spoke first.

The leader of the Time Tribe and the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe nodded in agreement.

Although they knew that during the second mission, the elder team had also dispatched strong fighters adept in stealth techniques to infiltrate the life planets where the Great Flame Empire was based, they had all mysteriously lost contact.

However, they believed that the experts skilled in stealth had likely fallen into the traps set by Yi Chen, leading to their complete demise.

If they could gather a group of strong fighters proficient in stealth techniques to suddenly infiltrate the eastern human army and launch a surprise attack,

there was no doubt that they could annihilate the entire eastern human army in one stroke.

Even if this group of stealth experts was killed by the responding assassination team from the Great Flame Empire, it would still be a worthwhile trade, even a significant gain.

Because without the eastern human army, the entire Great Flame Empire would be utterly vulnerable.

Once Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, became a figurehead, no matter how strong he was, it would be of no benefit.

“Immediately inform the commanders of the allied forces to regroup their armies and prepare for battle again.”

The leader of the Time Tribe said without a moment’s hesitation: “Leaders, gather all the strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques, at levels 220 and 230, within the tribe.”

“This…”

The various tribe leaders hesitated, struggling to find the words.

They could foresee that once these stealth experts completed their mission, escaping afterward would likely be extremely difficult.

They all had to pay the ultimate price alongside the eastern human army of the Great Flame Empire.

These strong fighters possessed special abilities, being level 230 or even at the elder level.

Losing one would be a substantial loss for these large races.

The elite army could be continuously replenished as long as the number of tribe members remained unchanged.

However, it would take an astonishing amount of time to nurture even a few level 220 or level 230 strong fighters.

“All tribes will receive double compensation for any losses incurred during this attack!”

The Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe promised without hesitation.

The leader of the Time Tribe and the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe nodded in agreement, affirming the Chief of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s commitment.

With the resources and treasures possessed by the three dominant races, as long as the tribes could find members with the necessary talents, they could easily cultivate a new batch of strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques.

Without any further hesitation, the tribe leaders immediately took out their communication stones and began issuing orders.

The defeated allied forces were gathering in their designated areas and positions.

“This should be their last resort!”

In the Great Flame Empire’s army, Yi Chen raised his eyebrows slightly after receiving news from the Intelligence Organization.

Completely destroying the alliance’s hopes and inflicting severe casualties would surely plunge the tribe leaders into despair.

Once that happened, forcefully suppressing the leaders of the tribes would make complete surrender inevitable.

The entire alliance consisted of large races from various star clusters.

If all the major races surrendered, the small and medium races within those star clusters would undoubtedly follow suit.

Even if a few races refused to surrender, Yi Chen could easily sweep through with his army without encountering any resistance.

“Notify the eastern human army to prepare for an all-out battle to annihilate the allied forces!”

Yi Chen took out his communication stone and sent a message to the Marshal War City.

“Understood!”

The War City responded immediately.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

As the allied forces began regrouping and strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques continued to gather, the eastern human army was also brimming with energy and proceeding according to plan.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a day passed. The defeated allied forces finally restructured their forces and completed their assembly in the designated area.

The strong fighters adept in stealth techniques also joined together, hiding within the army.

On the other side, the eastern human army was prepared for battle, with the assassination team from the Great Flame Empire also lying in wait among the human forces.

Even Yi Chen controlled a flying treasure and appeared within the eastern human army.

“Advance!”

At the command from the allied forces’ commander, the enormous strength of the allied forces surged forward toward the Great Flame Empire’s army once more.

Upon receiving the order, the eastern human army also began their move toward the allied forces.

Previously, due to the presence of the Great Flame Empire army, the eastern human army couldn’t fight at full force.

This time, they planned to simply shake off the Great Flame Empire army and proceed alone.

The distance between the two sides was closing steadily.

“Assassination team, attack!”

When there was still a million kilometers separating the two armies,—and they had reached the striking distance of the eastern human army—the allied forces’ commander gave the order first.

One hundred thousand strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques, accompanied by over two hundred thousand level 230 strong fighters, began to sneak quietly toward the eastern human army.

If this assassination team managed to close in successfully, the eastern human army would instantly collapse.

Unfortunately, these stealth specialists could not escape Yi Chen’s divine consciousness.

As soon as they received the order and began to depart from the allied forces, Yi Chen activated his divine consciousness and flew his flying treasure to appear before this team of strong fighters.

Before this team of strong fighters could scatter and head towards the eastern human army, Yi Chen waved his hand.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers appeared before him.

Immediately after, a terrifying suction force surged toward the team of strong fighters.

“Not good, enemy attack!”

“Quick, retreat!”

Hundreds of thousands of strong fighters sensed something was wrong in an instant.

They thought of retreating at the first opportunity.

However, the immense suction of the Map of Mountains and Rivers was beyond their ability to resist.

No matter how much they pooled their energy, they could at most slow down their speed toward the Map of Mountains and Rivers a little but could not stop their bodies from being drawn in continuously.

With a whoosh…

In mere moments, hundreds of thousands of strong fighters were absorbed into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
