Chapter 2298: Training Method
Ye Liuyun and them gradually also summarized a rule: for islands with stronger primordial power, when viewed from afar they all have higher brightness, just like the stars they saw on the ground before; this is also the origin of the name Xingkong.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun also discovered a brighter light point in the distance.
However, it slightly deviates from their course.
"Sail over to take a look!"
Ye Liuyun still had the warship sail over.
This world, when viewed from afar, looks brighter than the outpost island and the watchtower island.
As the warship drew nearer, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also discovered that this island was larger than any island he had seen before.
After Ye Liuyun told everyone this news, everyone became very excited.
Having been cooped up on the warship all along, they also felt bored and all wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air.
However, just as their warship approached, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil discovered another warship, which appeared to be of the same 100,000-ton class.
Moreover, this warship did not appear to be a Foreign Tribe warship.
Ye Liuyun immediately ordered his warship to stop.
Also thanks to his Golden Pupil, they could see the other side, but the other side had not yet noticed them.
"Warship retreat, Qiong Qi and I will don the Invisibility Cloak to scout the situation; everyone stay on alert."
After giving the order, Ye Liuyun then took Qiong Qi, clad in the Invisibility Cloak, left the retreating warship, and approached the other side.
Although the distance appeared close in the Golden Pupil's view, Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi still flew at full speed for two days before reaching it.
Ye Liuyun also began to approach and use his Golden Pupil to observe the situation inside the warship, discovering that there were more than three hundred human soldiers inside.
These soldiers' cultivation levels were around the seventh or eighth layer, with only the leader being at the Ninth Layer Early Stage.
However, their defenses were very lax; the warship had not activated its Defense Array.
Inside, the soldiers were all cultivating, with few on watch; this might also be why they had not previously detected Ye Liuyun's warship.
Ye Liuyun had Qiong Qi pry open the warship's hatch, and the two sneaked inside.
Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to monitor the soldiers' movements, feeling his way toward the leader's quarters.
While Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi were secretly discussing how to open that hatch, the leader suddenly opened the hatch himself to come out; as a result, Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi jointly struck him and implanted a Slave Seal.
After a Soul Search, Ye Liuyun's expression also became solemn.
"This is the army from that planet.
That planet is called the Holy Land in their words."
Ye Liuyun told Qiong Qi.
Seeing Ye Liuyun's expression not looking good, Qiong Qi asked: "Isn't that a good thing?
It would be perfect to get in touch with them!"
"Do you know what they came here to do?"
Ye Liuyun shook his head, and instead asked Qiong Qi.
"What?"
Qiong Qi asked, puzzled.
"They came here to seize resources and use this place's martial cultivators for training!"
Ye Liuyun said heavily.
"So what then?"
Qiong Qi still didn't understand why Ye Liuyun's expression was so grave.
Ye Liuyun then explained to him: "This place is also a gathering ground for human martial cultivators, and can be considered part of the outer islands guarding that Holy Land Planet.
Yet they do not organize these people to resist the Foreign Tribe; instead, they plunder their resources and use this place as a training ground.
Furthermore, they have a large army and the capability to fight the Foreign Tribe, yet they do not directly resist the Foreign Tribe but instead train here; this suffices to show that these people care only for themselves and have no regard for the life or death of the outer islands.
Moreover, this is not the first island they have destroyed.
They have already destroyed two before!"
"You mean, the planet we guard, called the Holy Land, is doing the same things as the Foreign Tribe?"
Qiong Qi also finally realized and confirmed with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun nodded: "Your statement is actually quite accurate.
They are indeed doing the same things as the Foreign Tribe."
"Then... what should we do?"
Qiong Qi asked Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun now also couldn't think of what to do next, so he could only first stabilize the current situation: "First we'll take control of this place, then we'll talk."
They only have this one warship, unlike us who have a backup warship."
"How far is this place from that Holy Land Planet?"
Qiong Qi asked Ye Liuyun.
"At their warship's speed, it would take half a year of sailing!"
Ye Liuyun replied.
Upon hearing half a year, Qiong Qi also felt relieved.
At least at this distance, even if they discovered it, they wouldn't have time to send reinforcements.
Thus Ye Liuyun had that leader go out under the pretense of inspection, and have him, along with him, implant Slave Seals on all those soldiers.
At the same time, he also summoned his own warship to come over.
After their warship arrived, Ye Liuyun then brought that leader to have him give everyone a detailed account of the Holy Land's situation.
According to that leader, the Holy Land alone has soldiers numbering in the millions.
Their unit is just one of the weaker ones, so they were sent out to loot resources and train to increase their strength.
Moreover, it's not just their unit; there are many other units that train and improve their strength in the same way.
But they also know that ahead is the frontline where they fight the Foreign Tribe, so this place is also their final training ground.
After finishing here, they should also return.
The main force of their army has mostly reached Ninefold, and they have gathered a large amount of resources, which can be considered completion of their training mission.
Ye Liuyun and the others, upon learning the truth, felt that defending the Holy Land Planet against the Foreign Tribe was truly not worth it.
"What does it mean that they gave us a distress Token?"
"Could it be that they will only send reinforcements after we have been exhausted?"
Zhao Hu asked, puzzled.
"In my opinion, they may not necessarily send reinforcements."
"Rather, through our distress call, they learn that we have been overrun, and then they can judge how far the Foreign Tribe is from them."
Mo Tianheng analyzed.
Ye Liuyun then asked the Leader: "Do you know about the Foreign Tribe's attack?"
"We know."
"Our training and stockpiling of resources are also preparations to resist the Foreign Tribe."
"According to the information we have received, the Foreign Tribe's army is not fewer in number than ours."
"They are currently only mobilizing and making probing attacks; sooner or later they will launch a full-scale assault!"
The Leader replied.
"Then do you know about the Outpost Island and the Watchtower Island?"
Man Feng asked again.
The Leader shook his head: "At least I am not clear about it."
"We only know that the Foreign Tribe's vanguard is fighting against the outer Dao xu."
"So we have also been ordered not to go too far, lest we expose our strength."
"Damn it! If you don't want to expose your strength, then let us fight desperately at the front!"
Qiong Qi cursed angrily.
The Leader was frightened into silence, only able to repeatedly apologize.
"Step down first!"
Ye Liuyun did not make things difficult for the Leader, after all, this decision was not something he could make.
"We should first discuss how to deal with this unit! Moreover, the Leader's position is not high, so he may not know much information."
Ye Liuyun said to everyone.
