Chapter 393: Core Combat Power

Bone Spike Chief’s gaze turned toward the strong beings around him.

“I think we can give it a try.”

“Indeed, if we can successfully eliminate the royal pirate crew, our Bone Spike Tribe will surely become famous across the blood-colored planet.”

“Actually, even if we don’t succeed in eliminating the royal pirate crew, we will still stand in an undefeated position. As long as we don’t get defeated one by one, the royal pirate crew cannot do anything to us.”

“In that case, if there’s not much to lose, we might as well try this plan.”

Almost all the strong beings leaned toward this plan.

They decided to use a scheme against Nika Tribe’s army.

They would confuse Nika Tribe’s army by sending out an army of ten million.

It would seem like the vanguard and the Kylin Tribe’s army were attacking from both sides.

In reality, all the strong beings would lie in ambush within the vanguard, targeting the royal pirate crew.

As long as they could eradicate the royal pirate crew or Nika Tribe’s other strongholds, destroying Nika Tribe’s army would be extremely easy.

“Since everyone agrees with this plan, let’s put it into action. First, collect all the resources from the warehouse and hand them over to me for safekeeping. Additionally, all tribe members should gather and prepare defenses against the royal pirate crew’s surprise attack!”

Bone Spike Chief no longer hesitated.

He immediately made his decision.

“Understood!”

All the high-ranking leaders of the Bone Spike Tribe stood up in excitement.

If they could successfully eliminate the royal pirate crew, the reputation of the Bone Spike Tribe would soar, and their power and status would certainly rise with it.

All high-ranking leaders of the Bone Spike Tribe sprang into urgent action.

…

Three minutes after Bone Spike Chief made his decision, all the content of the meeting appeared before Guli.

Guli then gathered the high-ranking leaders of the three races to discuss countermeasures.

“The Bone Spike Tribe’s plan is somewhat beyond our expectations. However, it is better than we anticipated.”

Tai Shi spoke up first, “This way, if we can find a way to defeat and capture these high-ranking leaders of the Bone Spike Tribe, the entire Bone Spike Tribe will surely choose to surrender.”

Everyone couldn’t help but nod.

“The only trouble right now is that all the strong beings of the Bone Spike Tribe are gathered together. They regard us as the royal pirate crew from the Swift Tribe, keeping a strict watch and even preparing to ambush us in return.”

“With the situation being like this, defeating or even capturing these strong beings from the Bone Spike Tribe will be much more difficult.”

Guli paused for a moment and resolutely said, “In that case, let’s surround the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard after we deal with the Kylin Tribe’s army. Using long-range attacks to constantly compress and destroy their forces, while suppressing the strong beings of the Bone Spike Tribe to prevent them from breaking out of the encirclement, until they collectively surrender or are completely annihilated!”

The high-ranking leaders of humanity and the Demon Race nodded in agreement.

The high-ranking leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe, however, hesitated.

Chief Nika cast his gaze toward a powerful being from the Black Tiger Tribe.

The powerful being from the Black Tiger Tribe suddenly spoke up, "Our expeditionary army’s goal this time is not only to unify the entire blood-colored planet but also to conquer all the strong beings on this planet and bring them into the Nika Tribe."

"If the strong beings from the Bone Spike Tribe refuse to surrender and we annihilate them, we will lose many future allies who could join the Nika Tribe."

"The Bone Spike Tribe is the first large tribe we are attacking; we must achieve a swift victory to establish our reputation and deter the smaller tribes from joining forces against us."

Guli, filled with killing intent, declared, "If they refuse to surrender, then we should wipe them all out, so all tribes know the cost of fierce resistance is total annihilation!"

Chief Nika and the other strong beings from the Black Tiger Tribe remained silent.

"Since there are no objections, it’s settled!"

Guli ignored the emotions of the high-ranking leaders from the Black Tiger Tribe.

The coalition formed by the three races would definitely have differing interests and opinions, so it was impossible to reach complete agreement.

For humanity and the Demon Race, it did not matter whether the Bone Spike Tribe was completely destroyed; they saw advantages and disadvantages, and either result was within their acceptable range.

However, the leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe wanted to successfully bring the entire Bone Spike Tribe under their control.

After all, it consisted of billions of their kin.

Moreover, if they could successfully subdue them, all the high-ranking leaders and the army of the Bone Spike Tribe would integrate into the Nika Tribe.

Conquering a large tribe would significantly increase the strength of the Nika Tribe by several times.

But while Chief Nika held the title of the expeditionary army’s commander, the true leader was Guli.

Even if the leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe had opinions, they could only swallow them.

Soon, the expeditionary army made new adjustments.

The army continued to turn quickly.

Seeing something was off, the Kylin Tribe’s army immediately adjusted their formation.

The army stopped advancing and instead established defenses on the spot.

Fifteen million troops, despite constantly contracting, still gathered in massive numbers above and extended over dozens of kilometers.

Chief Kylin and seven strong beings from the tribe issued commands to keep the army on high alert while contacting the Bone Spike Tribe to urge them to launch a simultaneous attack.

As the vanguard of the Bone Spike Tribe officially emerged from their base, all strong beings, including Bone Spike Chief, lay hidden behind the vanguard, except for one who stayed behind.

The expeditionary army pushed forward, now only sixty to seventy kilometers away from the Kylin Tribe’s army.

Both sides could see each other from a distance.

Their feelings were different.

Everyone in the expeditionary army was incredibly excited and determined to win.

The Kylin Tribe’s army, however, felt anxious, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard.

"Charge!"

With Guli’s command, seven hundred thousand humans, each accompanied by a powerful being from the Black Tiger Tribe or Demon Race, surged toward the Kylin Tribe’s army.

Top geniuses from humanity, strong beings from the Black Tiger Tribe, and those from the Demon Race all joined in.

One hundred forty thousand against fifteen million.

It seemed like a completely uneven battle.

The soldiers of the Kylin Tribe breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Their greatest fear was the entire Nika Tribe’s army launching a full-scale attack.

If they could not withstand such an onslaught, the Kylin Tribe’s army would collapse into disarray, and even if the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard arrived to flank the Nika Tribe’s army, the Kylin Tribe would suffer heavy losses.

Even if they could hold back the Nika Tribe’s army and maintain their formation, it would undoubtedly come at a great cost.

The Nika Tribe’s army had only sent a vanguard to attack.

That was much better.

The Kylin Tribe felt absolutely capable of holding the line until the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard arrived.

They could even wait until the vanguard nearly reached them, then launch a sudden counterattack to eliminate the Nika Tribe’s vanguard.

This way, they would maintain their dignity and achieve their goals.

Not only would they avoid significant loss, but even if the Bone Spike Tribe did the heavy lifting afterward, they could still provide an explanation to them.

However, they were unaware that this was indeed an unequal war.

The advantage lay entirely with the expeditionary army’s vanguard.

This vanguard represented the core combat power of the entire expeditionary army.

What was even more terrifying was their mobility, which was at an unimaginable level.
