Chapter 1693: Stellar War 1

It's about to start...

Outside the fortress, Hei Di silently gazed at the distant land.

From a high vantage point, using the utterly unobstructed flat terrain of the Star Battlefield, he could instantly see a large number of black dots gathered a thousand li away in the distance.

Everything in full view, under mutual gaze, both sides seemed to be silently looking at each other.

There was nothing to hide behind, and nothing to hide in.

For those at the Fifth Stage, physical concealment meant nothing.

Eyes can be deceived, let alone for many spatial-types, who can teleport over at any moment, instantly forming a charging momentum.

Thus, the over four hundred Fifth-Stage Awakened Ones surrounding the fortress did not care at all that their movements were exposed right under their noses.

"Hei Di, that person hasn't come out again."

"What should we do later..."

His voice was low.

Beating its dragon wings tens of meters long, the Chimera Emperor gazed gravely at Hei Di standing with hands behind his back, his eyes full of worry.

Lin An was hiding again.

As the restriction was about to be lifted, this unfathomable super-powerful one neither came out nor gave them orders.

They dared not ask, nor dare to run.

At this moment, the Chimera Emperor felt overwhelmed, as even the most level-headed Kan Di Si could not think of a better decision.

"What should we do?"

Glancing sideways, Hei Di chuckled and looked at the worry-laden Chimera.

"What else can we do?"

"Of course we take the initiative, drive them back first, then talk."

"The Lin Emperor isn't afraid of these bugs, but they're still a nuisance."

Meaningful.

Hei Di gave a light chuckle, then, after speaking, looked meaningfully at the ground beneath his feet.

The fortress built on the ten-thousand-meter cliff appeared easy to defend but hard to attack, occupying a geographical advantage.

But in Fifth-Stage combat, they were no different from standing on flat ground.

Whether Lin An came out or not, they needed to pretend to carry out his orders and go out to hunt down this group of Fifth-Stagers.

Otherwise, under a concerted attack, they could only flee for their lives.

That really is..

Too much of a loss.

"If the Lin Emperor doesn't come out, should we also charge out? Will that bunch.... of guys be afraid?"

"I'm afraid we can't hold up..."

Everyone knew Lin An had a problem; the Chimera Emperor glanced irritably at the exchange point behind him, utterly unable to fathom what Lin An was up to.

"Spirit" and "Momentum"

With his power restricted, it's fine if he can't temporarily burst forth with Star-Shattering Level strength.

But at least we should discuss it with them.

They were cooperating in the act.

Lin An only needed to casually strike, reveal a bit of strength, and he would have reassurance in his heart.

Although he harbored the thought of betraying when the chance arose, at least for now, after aligning with Lin An, both sides were like grasshoppers on the same rope.

He simply didn't believe that this Star-Shattering Level individual would fear being surrounded.

If he truly isn't afraid and there's really no problem, then why keep them around?

"Then it's up to luck."

"Chimera Emperor, with your strength, there aren't three or four Star-Destroying Level beings of the same rank who could possibly kill you."

"Judging by the current situation, we can still cope."

"Moreover, that person... should make a move..."

"He is quite lacking in points."

In a brief silence, Hei Di spoke briefly, straightforwardly comforting the Chimera Emperor.

This stupid dragon may not be very smart, but its combat ability is still decent. Relying solely on him, even he couldn't handle it.

Confident in his Black Light Domain, Hei Di wasn't afraid of mishaps either.

Within the Black Light Domain, unless his rule power is exhausted, he need not fear facing three or four Star-Destroying Level opponents simultaneously.

Even if the situation turns dire, escaping is still quite simple for him.

As for the Chimera Emperor, with his dual souls united, his rule reserve exceeds Hei Di's, and he excels in the four major rules, making him extremely hard to kill.

Both of them are top-tier among Star-Destroying Level beings; otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the risk of following Lin An to maximize their gains.

"Will he definitely make a move?"

His eyes flickered.

The Chimera Emperor gazed thoughtfully at Hei Di's confident profile, as if he had thought of something, and did not ask further.

Vaguely, he roughly guessed Hei Di's thoughts.

"Lacking points" means the extent of that person's restriction is confirmed?

"First follow that person to slay enemies, harnessing the Star-Shattering might to reap a batch of Fifth-Stagers, then rebel by holding the node?"

"If that's really the case, it's actually quite dangerous..."

"But the gains would also be enormous."

Is it because I'm arrogant about having a life-saving trump card, or does this old fox know more than I do?

They muttered to themselves.

The Chimera Emperor flapped its dragon wings, thinking as it flew back to a position in another direction.

Since guessing Lin An's secret, they have become more cautious than before.

But to speak frankly, they are like a mouse before a trap, fearful yet itchy.

If Hei Di really intends to do this, and has a certainty he doesn't know of, then the final gain will be astonishingly great!

What they fear most is that Hei Di might even include them in the calculations!

But if they really had to give it up, they couldn't bear to.

This old fox dares to take a gamble; maybe I can too?

At worst, I can at least get a share, right?

As they kept calculating, the Chimera Emperor might not realize that at this moment, Hei Di's heart is far from as calm as it appears.

All that could be seen was Hei Di, back to everyone, silently examining the battlefield map and calculating escape routes.

Our limit against Star-Destroying Level beings is six.

In theory, it's not a big problem.

What's frightening is that the limitations placed on that person are greater than I imagined...

It's not that they are overturning their own guess.

But rather, after Hei Di continuously sent captives to the exchange point, they suddenly realized something.

That being the case, if Lin An is lacking points to restore strength, why not force them to hand over the clan's Fifth Stage?

Even if Lin An needs their cooperation to reduce pressure, given the overbearing nature of the Star-Shattering Level, what is there to worry about?

Obviously, there is only one answer.

Lin An dare not.

In their heart.

Lin An cannot be too weak, nor too strong.

Being too strong is disadvantageous for him, and being too weak puts them in danger.

Therefore, for Hei Di, he has no choice but to prepare for the worst. In fact, no one wishes more than he does for Lin An's combat power to stay in the "middle".

But if they are too weak, they can only rebel early and flee ahead.

As for that silly dragon, let it just be cannon fodder...
