Chapter 402: A Huge Help

“No matter what, what should we do now?”

The nominal commander of the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard brought Bone Spike Chief and the other strong fighters, who were full of hopes and dreams, back to reality.

He spoke with a serious expression, “Send out the sacrifice assault team. The enemy will wait until the sacrifice assault team gets close, then easily deal with them using mid-range attacks.”

“If we send out the elite assault team, the enemy will mobilize their strong fighters and suddenly strike to kill them all when the elite team is about five to six hundred meters away.”

“This undoubtedly indicates that among their forces, there is either someone with a strength realm so powerful that they can sense the realm of the assault team members directly with their Perception Ability, or Nika Tribe has arranged for insiders within our Bone Spike Tribe.”

Everyone was taken aback.

The former possibility seemed unlikely; if someone had a strength realm strong enough to sense their existence even when they tried to conceal their energy, then that opponent’s strength would surely eclipse Bone Spike Chief’s power.

The terrifying might of this powerful entity from the Nika Tribe could demoralize the entire Bone Spike Tribe.

Therefore, it was more probable to be the latter.

They worried that this insider might have a significant status, even reaching the level of a strong fighter.

If that were the case, it meant the Nika Tribe would know about their ambush plan.

But upon further thought, they eased up.

It should only be an ordinary insider.

An insider at the strong fighter level would be hard to win over. Moreover, since the Bone Spike Tribe is a large tribe, already one of the strongest forces on the blood-colored planet, the likelihood of strong fighters being recruited was low.

Still, low odds are not enough.

To be on the safe side, Bone Spike Chief insisted that all the strong fighters hand over their communication stones for review.

The results made everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

No strong fighters had defected to the Nika Tribe.

This at least meant that their ambush plan had not been discovered by the Nika Tribe.

As for the current situation…

Bone Spike Chief felt a headache coming on.

With an insider in their army, the plan to mobilize high-end combatants to form a strike force to break through the Giant Human Wall was simply unfeasible.

In fact, even without an insider, it would be of little use.

Even if the elite assault team managed to get close, the mid-range attacks of the Giant Human Wall wouldn’t affect the assault team, but the strong fighters could use their teleportation ability to swiftly resolve the threat posed by the elite team.

The delay for the Giant Human Wall would only be a matter of seconds and would be of no real significance.

It seemed the only option left was to retreat.

Because retreating was the best method for survival.

“Order a full-speed retreat to the base, and inform the base to prepare for pick-up and interception!”

Grinding his teeth, Bone Spike Chief made his decision.

The vanguard’s retreat could severely impact the morale of all the soldiers in the Bone Spike Tribe, but the present situation was a choice between retreating or losing the entire army.

If they escaped, they might still save a few hundred thousand warriors.

Moreover, the key to winning this battle lies in whether they can successfully ambush the strong fighters from the Nika Tribe.

Morale, even if it is a bit low, does not matter much.

“Yes!”

The strong fighter in charge could only give orders.

Bone Spike Chief and the other strong fighters hid among the main force, suppressing their own aura to maintain a speed similar to that of ordinary soldiers as they turned and fled toward the base.

“Trying to escape? It’s not that easy!”

When Tai Shi received the news, the Bone Spike Tribe’s army had already started to collapse across the board, their formation completely thrown into chaos.

Yet their speed was astonishingly fast.

“Split into three routes to intercept them. Don’t let them scatter; surround them!”

With Tai Shi’s command, the Giant Human Wall quickly spread apart.

All the human warriors divided into four groups; one group sped up to chase, while the other three flew at full speed toward the other three sides of the Bone Spike Tribe’s vanguard.

The powerful beings from the Black Tiger Tribe and the Demon Race also split into four groups, closely following the four groups of human warriors.

Although these powerful beings from the Black Tiger Tribe and the Demon Race had higher realms than the human warriors, their speed could not match the human warriors who could teleport and fly quickly.

They could only follow from a distance.

At the same time, in the expeditionary army’s camp, Guli received news from Bai Ruo Xin that the Little Gold Ball had been sent by Yi Chen to play.

All the human leaders and the high-ranking beings from the original four armies were overjoyed.

The late-joining high-ranking beings from the Demon Race and the Black Tiger Tribe were completely confused.

Yi Chen’s pet came to play; they had to be extra careful and also watch for any dangers that might arise.

After all, this was a military camp, and they were in the midst of two armies clashing.

While taking good care of it could earn them favor with Yi Chen, encountering any danger could lead to bigger problems.

It was truly a situation where the risks outweighed the benefits.

“Those who understand should know that with the Little Gold Ball joining, we will have our strongest assault force.”

Guli spoke: “With the Little Gold Ball present, even if all the strong fighters from the Bone Spike Tribe gather together, we can crush them all at once.”

“If that happens, our previously established plan can advance further, and we can capture all the strong fighters from the Bone Spike Tribe instead of just eliminating half of them with long-range attacks!”

“Right now, the most important thing for us is to keep the Little Gold Ball happy, so it willingly stays with the army. This will greatly help us quickly conquer the other tribes!”

The group of human leaders and high-ranking beings from the Demon Race all nodded in agreement.

Chief Nika could not help but ask, “Isn’t the emperor’s pet only at the level of our Black Tiger Tribe’s Tiger Silk stage?”

“It does have a low realm, but you need to understand whose pet it is!”

The usually low-profile swamp crocodile could not help but express envy: “It is the master’s pet, and its speed of realm advancement is unimaginably fast. Its innate abilities are also extraordinary.”

“To put it simply, the master’s pet has an immortal body that can revive in a second or two, and its favorite method of attack is to continuously self-destruct against enemies!”

Chief Nika and the other powerful beings from the Black Tiger Tribe were dumbfounded.

An immortal body that can revive in a second or two and loves to self-destruct to attack enemies?

“Are you saying that the emperor’s pet can keep reviving like the Undying Race?” Chief Nika asked for confirmation.

“What is the Undying Race compared to an immortal body? They can only regenerate with blood, and each time they revive, their power is greatly diminished and requires time to recover.”

The swamp crocodile scoffed: “The master’s pet is the true immortal body. As its realm increases, the revival time becomes shorter and shorter, and even after reviving, it does not lose any energy or power.”

Chief Nika and the other powerful beings from the Black Tiger Tribe still found it hard to believe.

A being that could infinitely revive without any loss in power was unheard of to them.

This was something even the strongest members of the Undying Race could not achieve.

However, they understood why the high-ranking leaders of humanity and the Demon Race were so excited.

Because if that were the case, then the addition of Yi Chen’s pet to the army would indeed be a tremendous boost.

Such a being was practically born for the battlefield.

No one could kill it, and no one dared to approach; it would be a dominant presence among the enemy forces.
