Chapter 615: Total Defeat

The strange collective teleportation happened again.

The entire eastern human army stood in formation, almost as one entity, seemingly unaffected by the collective teleportation.

This was due to their rest period; practicing teleportation ability was a top priority for the eastern human army.

They had rehearsed this collective teleportation hundreds or even thousands of times.

The long-range attacks were only paused for a few seconds before sweeping in again.

The only difference was that their power had slightly decreased.

This was because one of the three main legions of the eastern human army had been dispatched to fend off the Flowing Horse Tribe’s attack.

The commander of the Flowing Horse Tribe, responsible for the first line of defense, formed a large army after receiving orders from the Great Elder of the Flowing Horse Tribe, launching an assault against the eastern human army, attempting to coordinate an attack from the Strike Force.

However, this only helped reduce some pressure on the Strike Force, forcing the eastern human army to allocate a legion to intercept the Flowing Horse Tribe’s advance.

No matter how the Flowing Horse Tribe’s commander adjusted his tactics, whether attacking from underground or launching various assaults, all were intercepted and destroyed by the eastern human army’s spell attacks.

"Great Elder, what should we do?"

With the distance widening to over ten kilometers, the more than ten level 110 strong fighters of the Flowing Horse Tribe gained some breathing room.

They looked at the Great Elder with hope in their eyes.

They wished that the Great Elder would not order another charge.

Another round of assault would only mean their demise.

While resisting the sea of fire’s attacks and avoiding the more powerful fire dragons, the Great Elder of the Flowing Horse Tribe rapidly expanded his Perception Ability.

Although energy filled the area within dozens of kilometers, significantly affecting his awareness, he could still sense that the Flowing Horse Tribe’s assault unit had already lost over half its strength.

Out of millions of elite warriors, they had barely five hundred thousand left.

Nearly a hundred level 100 strong fighters had perished completely.

In the distance, the charge launched by the Flowing Horse Tribe was purely suicidal.

Groups of soldiers were devoured by the sea of fire.

“Withdraw from the ground!”

With no choice, the Great Elder issued the command.

He did not opt to launch another round of assault to save the remaining five hundred thousand assault soldiers.

This was because not only the more than ten level 110 strong fighters, but even he had lost enough confidence to penetrate the enemy’s formation.

Even if they took a thousand steps back and, by some stroke of luck, reached near the enemy camp, if those thirty thousand unknown race soldiers executed another collective teleportation, it would surely cause him to lose his mind.

The level 110 strong fighters secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The frozen ground could not block strong fighters of their caliber.

The remaining five hundred thousand troops faced inevitable destruction, but for these strong fighters, escaping back was still a manageable problem.

"Go!"

The Great Elder of the Flowing Horse Tribe gritted his teeth, taking out a communication stone to contact the commander of the Flowing Horse Tribe’s army, urging him to stop any more pointless sacrifices and cease the attack.

At the same time, he quickly sank into the ground.

The yellow quicksand swiftly passed through the frozen soil, disappearing without a trace.

More than ten level 110 strong fighters of the Flowing Horse Tribe followed closely behind, rapidly burrowing into the earth.

"The enemy’s high-ranking leaders have already fled. Stop the attack! Focus completely on monitoring the ground to ensure we do not encounter a strong fighter’s surprise attack!"

The commander of the eastern human army issued the order immediately after noticing the disappearance of the Flowing Horse Tribe’s strong fighters.

The dense sea of fire quickly vanished.

The various tribes’ armies pressed forward, demanding the remaining five hundred thousand members of the Flowing Horse Tribe to surrender.

With no way to retreat, the five hundred thousand members had only one choice left: to surrender.

At the same time, a flying treasure personally crafted by Yi Chen soared towards the Flowing Horse Tribe’s stronghold.

Inside this flying treasure gathered almost all the top geniuses of humanity and high-ranking leaders from various tribes.

Over a hundred top geniuses, five hundred second-tier geniuses, five level 130 strong fighters, and over a hundred level 120 strong fighters, alongside more than five hundred level 110 strong fighters.

In total, there were just over a thousand, yet they represented the pinnacle of the vanguard’s combat power.

As the flying treasure set off, the vanguard passed through the first line of defense and continued to push deeper into the Flowing Horse Tribe’s stronghold.

…

Inside the palace of the Flowing Horse Tribe’s stronghold.

The leader and the elders remained silent, lost in thought.

They had anticipated that this surprise attack could encounter unexpected changes or even fail.

However, they never expected the defeat to be so utterly overwhelming.

With over ten million assault soldiers personally led by the powerful Great Elder, they swiftly attacked from underground but couldn’t even touch the edge of the Great Flame Empire’s long-range attacking army of just over three hundred thousand, resulting in total defeat.

Only the Great Elder and a handful of level 110 strong fighters managed to escape in a disgraceful manner.

“Teleportation ability, and not just individual but collective teleportation, which can even be executed again after just a few minutes,” the leader of the Flowing Horse Tribe said, feeling a severe headache. “Plus the terrifying long-range attack ability, where did the Black Tiger Tribe find such a strong ally?”

“With such a powerful ally, we, the Flowing Horse Tribe, could easily sweep aside the surrounding tribes just like the Great Flame Empire.”

“Our assault unit’s total defeat completely exceeded our expectations. The first line of defense was utterly destroyed in just moments, which also surpassed our expectations. Do we still need to continue fighting?”

All the elders of the Flowing Horse Tribe fell into silence.

They had thought the Great Flame Empire had only mobilized over three hundred million elite soldiers, which was nothing compared to the elite army guarding the Flowing Horse Tribe’s stronghold.

With a victory from a surprise attack followed by a surrender, they could leverage more benefits for the Flowing Horse Tribe.

But in the end, the assault unit was defeated, and the first line of defense was easily crushed, completely messing up their plans.

Surrendering now would mean becoming a second-rate conquered tribe of the Great Flame Empire and losing all their dignity.

“We can only see if the second line of defense can hold out a little longer.”

One elder from the Flowing Horse Tribe spoke helplessly.

To surrender so soon, the higher-ups of the Flowing Horse Tribe could never hold their heads up in front of their tribe members.

Defeating the Great Flame Empire’s army had become an unimaginable thought.

They only hoped that the defense strength of the second line of defense could hold out a bit longer, allowing them to regain some face.

When the time came to surrender, at least they could say they put up a fight in the eyes of their tribe members.

“It seems there is no other choice. We must order all troops and tribe members to retreat to the second line of defense. Form assault teams to delay the advance of the Great Flame Empire’s army as much as possible to buy time for the troops and tribe members to withdraw.”

After much deliberation, the leader of the Flowing Horse Tribe issued the command.

None of the Flowing Horse Tribe’s elders contradicted this order.

They followed the leader’s commands and took out their communication stones to relay the necessary orders.

The Flowing Horse Tribe’s army and tribe members began their urgent retreat.

Assault teams continually ventured underground to launch attacks against the forces of the Great Flame Empire.

Though the strong fighters of the Great Flame Empire sensed them in advance and sent them back empty-handed, they still successfully delayed the marching speed of the Great Flame Empire’s army, buying enough time for the troops and tribe members to retreat.
