Chapter 394: Team Surprise Attack Tactics

"Don’t be careless, Muni. Take an elite group and try to flank the Nika Tribe’s vanguard. See if you can cut through their ranks!"

Chief Kylin ordered a strong being beside him. "If you encounter strong resistance, don’t linger in battle; retreat immediately!"

"Understood!"

Muni nodded seriously and quickly assembled a ten-thousand-strong elite team made up of Black Tiger Tribe members over level eighty, charging out from the Kylin Tribe’s defense line.

They rushed toward the flank of the expeditionary army’s vanguard.

From the vanguard, a team of a thousand emerged.

This team included not only strong beings from the Black Tiger Tribe and the Demon Race, but even Chief Nika was among them.

They planned for a swift battle, wanting to show the Kylin Tribe just how powerful the expeditionary army truly was.

"Looking for death!"

Seeing only a thousand-person team approaching, Muni scoffed coldly and turned to one of his subordinates.

"Who knows which race those small-framed guys belong to? I’ve never seen them before."

His subordinates shook their heads, as they had never encountered them either.

Although humanity was one of the dominant races in this star cluster, the Tianling Star Cluster was too far from the Milky Way.

Furthermore, the Tianling Star Cluster had many races, and with frequent wars and closed-off information, no one paid much attention to what races existed outside of their own cluster.

"If you don’t know, be careful. They likely have some special abilities," Muni warned.

However, he didn’t take it to heart.

Because the entire humanity was part of the vanguard.

And vanguards were either powerful or mere cannon fodder meant to test the enemy’s strength.

He leaned more towards the latter.

The distance between the two sides grew closer.

When they were less than a kilometer apart, the Kylin Tribe’s vanguard was ready to attack at any moment.

Among their ranks, over a hundred top geniuses, accompanied by over a hundred strong beings, instantaneously launched their assault.

All these top geniuses had reached the second level of the Stage of Separation.

Theoretically, their teleportation range could reach two thousand meters.

Even though they couldn’t enhance their divine consciousness to the extreme like Yi Chen, they could still cover a range of thirteen to fourteen hundred meters at the second level of the Stage of Separation.

One kilometer was well within the teleportation range of these top geniuses.

The more than one hundred top geniuses, accompanied by over a hundred strong beings, suddenly appeared at the center of the Kylin Tribe’s vanguard.

Rog, alongside Chief Nika, directly appeared behind Muni.

Boom!

Chief Nika’s strength far surpassed Muni’s.

Another surprise attack.

Muni hadn’t reacted yet when he felt a surging force hit him from behind.

With a scream, he was sent flying forward instantly.

He spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Chief Nika controlled his strength perfectly, landing a blow that heavily injured Muni and rendered him unable to fight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, over a hundred strong beings sprang into action, instantly sending more than a hundred elite members of the Kylin Tribe’s vanguard flying, some heavily injured, others directly killed.

But this was just the beginning.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred top geniuses appeared behind new targets, accompanied by their strong partners.

There was no doubt about the outcome.

Groups of elite members from the Kylin Tribe’s vanguard were sent flying.

Their numbers rapidly dwindled.

Not far away, the remaining human soldiers arrived with their partners.

These soldiers were also elites of the Great Flame Empire, although their strength realm was only at the fifth or sixth level of the Spirit Law stage, and their teleportation distance was only two to three hundred meters.

But that was enough for them to continuously appear behind one enemy after another.

The roaring sounds never stopped.

In total, it took about two minutes.

This battle, with a ratio of one to ten in numbers, came to an end.

The Kylin Tribe’s vanguard, led by one strong being with ten thousand elites, was completely destroyed.

Muni and over three thousand elites were heavily injured and captured, leaving not a single elite behind.

In contrast, the expeditionary army had only about a thousand members, with just one Black Tiger Tribe high-end combatant who, due to slightly slower reaction ability, was hit by the shockwave of an attack and suffered minor injuries.

Aside from that, there were no other losses.

It was a nearly perfect victory.

…

"What… how is this possible?"

In the distance, the soldiers of the Kylin Tribe stood dumbfounded.

Although the vanguard had only ten thousand troops, their strength realm exceeded level eighty.

With a strong leader, even among large tribes, they would be considered an elite force.

Yet, in just a few minutes, they were defeated by just over a thousand enemies.

Even Muni, a strong being, was captured by them.

"This unknown race might not have impressive strength; we barely saw them attack from beginning to end. But they can teleport!"

"How are we supposed to fight? Having this unknown race as support is like having teleportation ability ourselves."

“Suddenly appearing behind the enemy and launching a surprise attack is always successful.”

“It’s over. This race that can teleport has an army of over seven hundred thousand. No wonder their vanguard has about one hundred and fifty; this race occupies half of their forces.”

The entire Kylin Tribe, from Chief Kylin and the remaining strong beings to the ordinary soldiers, descended into panic.

Forget about the large army in the back; they had no confidence in being able to resist even this vanguard.

Because they can teleport.

The carefully arranged defense was utterly pointless.

Moreover, this vanguard was equivalent to over seven hundred thousand teleporting Black Tiger Tribe members.

The strength realm might not have changed, but this added ability was truly terrifying.

What to do?

Chief Kylin and the strong beings felt their minds were in chaos, their heads buzzing.

They simply couldn’t think of any viable plans to respond.

…

In outer space, inside the flying treasure, Yi Chen, who had been distracted by the expeditionary army, secretly nodded.

Through the experiences with the Great Flame Pirates, the expeditionary army, while not yet at a masterful level, had become quite skilled in this type of surprise attack tactics.

The most important aspect was that it could be applied to large-scale team battles, not just limited to surprise attacks and assassinations of the enemy’s strong beings.

Currently, applying this tactic to team battles, although there were often issues with target overlap causing collisions and preventing them from attacking the enemy, continuous adjustments and improvements would lead to increasing synergy.

Yi Chen could foresee that this tactic would become a core strategy for the Great Flame Empire in the early stages.

When the seventh Skill Teaching session occurred, it could advance even further.

During the seventh session, he would teach the Shield of Protection.

Once the Shield of Protection was taught, the defense strength of human warriors would dramatically improve, perfectly addressing the weakness of their own inadequate strength, which made them susceptible to attacks.

Furthermore, there were also new skills he was researching that could reduce the speed and reaction of enemies.

Once successful, the power of these surprise attack tactics would be further strengthened.

Even without partners, human warriors could act independently, overcoming and defeating armies with stronger strength realms.

Once the strength and divine consciousness range of the entire population increased significantly, this tactic would be terrifying.

Any large army would be destroyed before the human army in a short time.
