Chapter 388
byChapter 388: The Surrender Letter
On the third day after Yi Chen issued the order for expansion, the armies of the three races officially set out.
In an effort to reduce resistance and minimize bloodshed, this expansion was carried out under the banner of the Nika Tribe.
Yi Chen also appointed Chief Nika as the commander of the three races’ army.
However, the actual command was in Guli’s hands.
Having experience as the captain of the Great Flame Pirates, Guli had a clear understanding of the importance and value of information.
Immediately, she used Bai Ruo Xin to mobilize the entire Intelligence Organization to collect information on all tribal forces and relevant data on the blood-colored planet.
These data and details had already been thoroughly gathered by the Intelligence Organization ahead of time.
Guli wanted it, and it was delivered to her hands without delay.
For the three races’ army, there were almost no secrets on the blood-colored planet.
The troop strength of each tribe, the number and strength of the strong, and even internal conflicts and the personalities of the tribal chiefs were all laid out before the three races’ army.
Unlike before, when they divided into four paths on the exile planet and slowly expanded outward, Guli recognized her limited coordination ability.
She knew that spreading out the forces would significantly weaken their overall strength, so she chose to advance through the eastern route.
Moreover, she decided to bypass the small to medium tribes altogether and charge directly toward the Bone Spike Tribe, which was three thousand kilometers away, as the first target of attack.
Guli’s plan was simple: first, defeat and conquer the Bone Spike Tribe, using the might of this victory to intimidate nearby tribes, and then gather the army to compel the small and medium tribes to surrender.
After unifying the entire area, she would integrate the forces of the surrendered tribes while advancing to invade other regions.
The biggest threat in doing this was the possibility of a united attack from the nearby small and medium tribes, leading to encirclement.
However, with the Intelligence Organization providing real-time information about each tribe, this risk was almost negligible.
With a command given, the three races’ army set off in a grand display.
The Nika Tribe’s forces made up the bulk, totaling over twenty million.
However, there were only about sixty strong individuals who had successfully overcome tribulations, and most of them were slave gladiators rescued from the coliseums on the Swift Tribe’s various planets by the Great Flame Pirates.
The Demon Race’s forces ranked second in number, barely exceeding one million.
The number of Demon Race individuals who had successfully overcome tribulations was over a hundred.
The forces of humanity also numbered over seven hundred thousand.
Many had successfully overcome tribulations, but they were all part of the Intelligence Organization’s Shadow Clan.
These Shadow Clan strong individuals did not actually participate in the war; instead, they were responsible for providing the most detailed information.
Thus, they could be considered as having none who had successfully overcome tribulations.
However, in terms of average strength, the human army was the strongest.
With over seven hundred thousand human soldiers, their average cultivation level reached the low Spirit Law stage, around level sixty.
In terms of strength, nearly all soldiers had the ability to transcend major realms and challenge higher levels, so they were at least around level seventy.
An average strength of over seventy places them well beyond the average strength of the Nika Tribe and the Demon Race army.
After breaking through to the Spirit Law stage, all these soldiers had learned the Teleportation Technique.
As support personnel, they could allow the various tribes’ high-end combatants to unleash amazing power.
…
"Surrender? What’s up with the Nika Tribe? Have they gone mad?"
In the hidden chamber of the Bone Spike Tribe, the chief, who was cultivating, was left stunned upon receiving the surrender letter from the Nika Tribe.
He had a little understanding of the large tribes on the blood-colored planet.
However, he had never heard of the Nika Tribe.
That meant the Nika Tribe was not even a large tribe.
At most, they were a medium-sized tribe.
A medium-sized tribe with only one or two hundred million members sending a surrender letter to a tribe with over five hundred million members?
Wasn’t that insanity?
"According to reports from the scouts, the Nika Tribe has gathered twenty million soldiers and is marching toward our Bone Spike Tribe’s territory," explained the guard.
"Twenty million soldiers…" The Bone Spike chief was at a loss for words.
The Bone Spike Tribe had a total of six hundred million members, easily capable of assembling over sixty million soldiers.
With some effort, they could even gather one or two hundred million soldiers.
More importantly, the strength of a large tribe did not lie solely in numbers, but in the number of high-end combatants.
This chief possessed a powerful strength of level 120.
He had five strong subordinates who were over level 110.
There were more than a hundred high-level fighters.
He couldn’t understand how the Nika Tribe dared to attack the Bone Spike Tribe.
"Notify the Kylin Tribe to destroy the Nika Tribe’s army. We, the Bone Spike Tribe, can refrain from expanding westward for a thousand years and will provide support to the Kylin Tribe when the Swift Tribe’s Space Pirates launch their invasion."
The Bone Spike chief didn’t want to think too much and decided to test the waters with a medium-sized tribe.
After all, being able to mobilize twenty million soldiers meant that the Nika Tribe had at least reached the level of a medium-sized tribe.
A madman could not possibly become the chief of a medium-sized tribe.
Since the Nika Tribe dared to launch an attack on the Bone Spike Tribe, they must have some strength.
Perhaps the chief of the Nika Tribe was exceptionally powerful.
In that case, it was more prudent to probe the strength of a medium-sized tribe.
"Understood!" The guard left the hidden chamber.
The Bone Spike chief didn’t think much more of it and continued his cultivation.
The news reached the Kylin Tribe.
The chief and high-ranking leaders of the Kylin Tribe felt deeply frustrated.
In their view, this was a case of deities fighting while ordinary people suffered.
The Nika Tribe attacked the Bone Spike Tribe, and now they were dragged into the front lines.
However, after much discussion, the Kylin Tribe decided to send troops to intercept the Nika Tribe.
Because the Bone Spike Tribe was definitely strong, but whether the Nika Tribe was strong was hard to say.
They only had twenty million soldiers; the Kylin Tribe, with a population of over ninety million, could easily gather the same number.
In terms of overall strength, they might fall short compared to the Nika Tribe’s army, but it wouldn’t be by much.
If they strategized well, they might be able to defeat the strong with the weak.
If they won, the benefits would be significant.
Firstly, the Bone Spike Tribe wouldn’t expand westward for a thousand years, and the Kylin Tribe would no longer have the risk of being annexed within that timeframe.
As a large tribe, the Bone Spike Tribe constantly expanded.
After thousands of years, they had forced the Kylin Tribe to shift westward, and they would soon encounter another medium-sized tribe, creating immense pressure.
Additionally, the Swift Tribe’s Space Pirates had always been a mighty enemy on the blood-colored planet, and even large tribes found it difficult to contend with the lightning-fast attacks of the Swift Tribe’s Space Pirates.
Although rumors said that a pirate group formed by the Black Tiger Tribe had been plundering within the Swift Tribe, leaving the Swift Tribe in a desperate plight, the Swift Tribe’s Space Pirates remained a nightmare for all the tribes of the Black Tiger Tribe.
If the Bone Spike Tribe was willing to send strong individuals to support the Kylin Tribe during an attack by the Swift Tribe’s Space Pirates, it could greatly reduce the losses the Kylin Tribe faced every time they were attacked.
All things considered, sending troops aligned more with the interests of the Kylin Tribe.
Even if they couldn’t win, they could always retreat.
This way, even if they didn’t gain much, they at least wouldn’t offend the Bone Spike Tribe.
