Chapter 2487: Failed Counterattack
Ye Liuyun also told Xiao Muan his plan, asking him to notify the main force to withdraw all living troops from the base, regroup and prepare a counterattack, while he went to take down another Foreign Tribe warship.
Now the base is already in chaotic melee, everyone fighting each other, and no formations can be deployed; it would be better to pull all the soldiers out, reorganize, and then strike back.
He immediately rushed to the Foreign Tribe's massive warship, silently released the Tin Jin Shou, telling it not to make a sound and to absorb as quietly as possible.
But it was soon discovered by the Foreign Tribe.
Ye Liuyun then deployed the Black Kill–borrowed strongmen and elite squads, launching attacks on the Foreign Tribe soldiers.
Now the Foreign Tribe has no strongmen here and few defenders, so they are not a match for them.
Wan Teng at this point also had to order a retreat, calling the Foreign Tribe's strongmen back to defend.
However, those Foreign Tribe strongmen dared not return at once; they had to guard the main force, so by the time they came back, their warship had turned into a pile of sand and dust.
The energy sphere was also snatched by Ye Liuyun, and Wan Teng was nearly killed by Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet.
Fortunately, his own strength was sufficient, and the Foreign Tribe soldiers desperately protected him, allowing him to escape the disaster.
Ye Liuyun also, before the Foreign Tribe's main force and strongmen returned, collected all the corpses on the ground, recalled his own people to the Space World, and withdrew immediately.
Then he promptly informed Xiao Muan that the Foreign Tribe's massive warship had been destroyed by him and had lost all defensive capability.
At this moment, the Holy Land Dynasty's base was already strewn with corpses.
Liu Kui had already led the remnants out of the base and was reorganizing for battle outside.
He also received a notice from the Holy Land Dynasty telling him that the Foreign Tribe's warship had been destroyed by Ye Liuyun, urging him to counterattack.
Xiao Muan, at the moment the Foreign Tribe attacked, was already with Holy King Xiao Qitian, waiting for news and ready to make a decision soon.
But Liu Kui now had lost more than half of his strongmen; the soldiers he could rally numbered only a little over one million, the rest having been scattered.
Fortunately, Liu Kui had already received the Flying Swallows that Xiao Muan bought from Ye Liuyun and the Holy Land Dynasty's reserves, but he had no time to deploy them; otherwise, he would now have no Flying Swallows at all.
"Fight them to the death, strike back!"
Liu Kui immediately took out the Flying Swallows, gave the soldiers a brief training, and began pursuing the retreating Foreign Tribe army to strike back.
The Foreign Tribe had not yet established a defensive base there, so they could only press on, fighting the Holy Land Dynasty's main force head‑on.
At this time, Ye Liuyun had already returned to the Holy Land Dynasty's base.
"Clear the battlefield! Separate the Foreign Tribe corpses from the Human Race corpses for collection."
Ye Liuyun immediately dispatched Man Feng's 100,000 troops to clean the battlefield as quickly as possible.
As long as the types are separated, armor and weapons need not be distinguished for now.
Thus Man Feng split his men into two squads—one to collect Foreign Tribe corpses, the other to collect Human Race corpses—and placed each batch into separate Storage Rings.
On Liu Kui's side, the number of Flying Swallows gave him an advantage, but the soldiers previously trained to pilot them were all gone, most having been killed in earlier battles.
So now he can only hastily find some people to pilot the Flying Swallows, resulting in even more of them being shot down.
In terms of numbers, they also do not have the advantage now.
The newly cultivated Corpse Demon on the Foreign Tribe side unleashed its combat power, biting while fighting, causing his own soldiers to dwindle further.
Ye Liuyun's side quickly finished clearing the battlefield, then released Qiong Qi and other Formation Masters to help set up Defense Arrays and repair the Teleportation Array.
He also noticed Liu Kui's situation and immediately contacted Xiao Muan.
"Liu Kui can't hold out any longer.
You should have him change tactics to save manpower.
I'm restoring the base's Defense Array and Teleportation Array, letting him hold on a bit longer."
Ye Liuyun also had to help; otherwise the Foreign Tribe would soon seize Satellite Island.
After receiving Ye Liuyun's warning, the Holy King immediately agreed and notified Liu Kui.
Upon learning the information, Liu Kui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He began to ease the attack and focus on defense.
But his opponent Wan Teng was no pushover; he quickly saw Liu Kui's intent and ordered all the Foreign Tribe forces and Corpse Demons to press forward, intensifying the assault.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately deployed five thousand Hawks into the fight, creating a gap between the Foreign Tribe and Liu Kui with a barrage, allowing Liu Kui to withdraw his troops.
Wan Teng also sent strongmen attempting to attack the Hawks, but the Hawks' defense was too strong and numerous; their Martial Cultivators were nearly bombed out.
Upon seeing this, Wan Teng ordered a retreat, began establishing a base and setting up Defense Arrays.
When Liu Kui pulled back, his main force had dwindled to under five hundred thousand.
Qiong Qi and the other Formation Masters quickly arranged a Defense Array and also repaired the Teleportation Array.
Thus Ye Liuyun immediately recalled the Formation Masters, vanished, and charged toward the Foreign Tribe side.
This time Liu Kui left behind too many corpses; Ye Liuyun feared the Foreign Tribe would use those bones to construct an Altar.
Sure enough, Wan Teng was ordering soldiers to collect the corpses.
"Strike them back!"
Ye Liuyun immediately let the Hawks begin the bombardment.
At the same time he released two hundred thousand troops, opened a path with battle tanks, and launched the attack.
Wan Teng also instantly ordered all soldiers to pull back.
He left the battlefield for Ye Liuyun to clear.
But after Ye Liuyun finished clearing the battlefield, he counted and found the Human Race soldiers had been reduced by half, and he had no idea how many Foreign Tribe soldiers were dead or wounded.
So after withdrawing, he promptly informed Xiao Muan: "The Foreign Tribe has collected enough corpses to build an Altar.
You must eliminate the Foreign Tribe completely as soon as possible.
Otherwise they will use the Altar to transmit soldiers and Martial Cultivator strongmen.
Then you won't be able to stop them."
"Can't you send troops?"
Xiao Muan immediately retorted.
"I've helped you guys, isn't it still not enough?"
Ye Liuyun asked back.
Afterwards, he also told Xiao Muan: "The rest, you can handle it yourselves."
Launch a counterattack quickly and wipe out these foreign tribes.
Don't let them escape.
Ye Liuyun also gave them a warning, fearing they might miss a few of those foreign tribes and flee to the Holy Land.
He felt that the foreign tribes now numbered only two or three million, the Flying Swallow had only a few ships left, and the Holy Land Dynasty should be able to easily wipe them out.
Directly send over the prepared five-million-strong army, and we can quickly take care of these foreign tribes; there's no longer any need for him to intervene.
He should prepare for the next, larger foreign tribe attack.
So he immediately used the Black Tower's teleportation to return to Mojie and went to cultivate in peace.
But he didn't expect that, after Wan Teng and the others saw Ye Liuyun withdraw, they would immediately give most of the corpses they had collected to ten Martial Cultivator experts, letting them secretly leave Satellite Island and rush to the Holy Land.
He himself kept only a small portion of the corpses, enough to build a small altar.
He also took away 100,000 of the foreign tribes' strongest soldiers, letting them secretly cultivate Corpse Demons in the Holy Land; once the numbers were large enough, they would build an altar and then have headquarters send troops over.
