Chapter 2604: Straight to the Lair
Just as Ye Liuyun's army approached the Foreign Tribe's stronghold, the scout hawk sent out suddenly reported that the stronghold ahead had disappeared.
"It seems the Foreign Tribe wants us to keep advancing all the way to their lair for a decisive battle."
Ye Liuyun and the others also guessed that the Foreign Tribe no longer intended to use strongholds to delay time, and did not want to leave resources for them.
"Then let's continue forward!"
Ye Liuyun also did not hesitate, directly ordering the army to continue forward.
His own million-strong army was all released by him, following him in splitting up to rush forward to the Foreign Tribe's strongholds, striving to seize a few before the Foreign Tribe could take away the Primordial Power.
His avatar also wandered around, collecting various island worlds everywhere and storing them in his Space World, continually increasing the Space World's power.
After Ye Liuyun once experienced the power of the Space World, his avatar also began to enhance this aspect.
Although this power was not cultivated by himself, it could produce unexpected effects at critical moments.
Even if not used ordinarily, it is not bad to take it out for self-defense when danger arises.
Ye Liuyun now attacking the Foreign Tribe's stronghold also dared not overly disperse his people, worrying that the Foreign Tribe might strike first and cause them losses.
All the Foreign Tribe's Divine Soul Power was also provided as much as possible to the three Xuanwu Monster Beasts and the Nine-headed Devil Dragon, to store energy for their imminent use of Black Light.
Ye Liuyun and his companions split into two teams, one led by him, each time concentrating all their power to strike, instantly destroying the Foreign Tribe's Altar.
Then the other team was tasked with cleaning up.
He then led the first team at full speed to the next Foreign Tribe stronghold.
Finally, before reaching the Foreign Tribe's lair, he also seized over twenty Foreign Tribe strongholds.
And the Primordial Power of those strongholds, he also had his companions refine and absorb into his Space World before departing.
Ye Liuyun divided his million-strong army into ten routes, and before the Foreign Tribe withdrew, he seized over ten Primordial Powers.
They encountered no strong resistance from the Foreign Tribe.
The Foreign Tribe's corpses were also allowed for Hongguang, Mului and other Foreign Tribe members to freely obtain, letting their strength also increase.
Next, the Foreign Tribe's strongholds all disappeared; aside from the avatar, the other armies gradually returned and merged with the alliance army's fleet.
The alliance's fleet, aside from the Martial Cultivator Giant Warship, also had ten warships of the 100,000-ton class.
Outside, thousands of hawks patrolled and kept watch, grandly marching straight toward the Foreign Tribe's lair.
Inside the warship, everyone was preparing for battle; even Ye Liuyun filled his Storage Yuan Stone, converting large amounts of energy within it, while also absorbing and refining Primordial Power.
After several months, Ye Liuyun received news that the Sharp Blade Regiment had assembled; his avatar immediately used the Teleportation Black Tower to rush over and bring the entire Sharp Blade Regiment back.
The Sharp Blade Regiment now numbers fewer than three thousand, yet over three hundred have broken through to the Zhuanzai Jingjie, including Ye Tiandao.
This is undoubtedly a great piece of news for Ye Liuyun.
These more than three hundred strong warriors and over two thousand high-end combat forces can play a decisive role in battle.
Moreover, they have also obtained abundant resources, enough to sustain their cultivation, and even more may break through to the Zhuanzai Jingjie.
But Ye Liuyun merely let them continue to cultivate in his avatar's Space World, awaiting the start of battle, preparing to use this force to catch the Foreign Tribe off guard when the time comes.
He also gave Ye Tiandao special private meals, and gave her Primordial Power from several worlds for her to refine into her own Space World, boosting her combat power.
What pleased Ye Liuyun was that Ye Tiandao focused on enhancing her Divine Soul Power and Spatial Power during this period, making her strength more balanced with no obvious weaknesses.
Ye Tiandao's sword intent was also nearly catching up to Ye Liuyun's.
Her special sword-shaped elemental pellet also finally manifested the advantage of her sword intent.
But Ye Tiandao, regardless of how strong her strength or how much her leadership ability improved, always addressed Ye Liuyun as master when facing him, showing not the slightest arrogance or disrespect.
Ye Liuyun's words, she always carried out without hesitation.
Ye Liuyun also entrusted the Song Girl and Lan'er to Ye Tiandao, so the two could train with the Sharp Blade Regiment and look after each other in battle alongside Ye Tiandao.
After receiving Ye Tiandao and the others back, the avatar also returned to Ye Liuyun's side, bringing three Xuanwu Monster Beasts and a Gold-armored Alien Tribe Elder to act as guide, then silently left the fleet once more.
He intended to rush ahead to the Foreign Tribe's lair to set an ambush, gather intelligence, and find a suitable landing spot for the alliance army.
The Giant Warship's speed is slow, and other warships must accommodate it, so the avatar went ahead first, allowing ample time for investigation.
The avatar also donned an Invisibility Cloak and sped full tilt toward the Foreign Tribe's lair.
Along the way, he also noticed the Foreign Tribe's Flying Swallow reconnaissance squad and two Foreign Tribe strongmen who had reached the Zhuanzai Jingjie.
However, he did not act, but left it for Ye Liuyun to handle.
Ye Liuyun merely sent out the Nine-headed Devil Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, and thus wiped out those Foreign Tribe scouts.
The avatar smoothly made it all the way to the Foreign Tribe's lair, finally seeing the true face of this world.
This is a giant planet twice the size of the Holy Land, which the Foreign Tribe calls a "base."
The world's Primordial Power remains, but it was originally a Demon Race world; after long occupation by the Foreign Tribe, it has also acquired some evil aura.
From afar, this place looks like a dark planet.
The avatar used his Golden Pupil to carefully survey the world, discovering that they had still underestimated the Foreign Tribe's numbers.
The number of soldiers here capable of resisting the alliance army exceeds fifty million.
Of those, thirty million troops are already prepared for battle.
Another twenty million troops are scattered in various places.
This place is no longer inhabited solely by Gold-armored and Silver-armored Foreign Tribe members.
It appears the Foreign Tribe also beforehand contracted and mobilized forces from various places, strengthening the defenses here.
Moreover, there are large numbers of lower-realm Foreign Tribe spread throughout the world; no matter where Ye Liuyun and his companions land, they will be detected by the Foreign Tribe, leaving only a frontal assault as an option.
The layout of the Foreign Tribe's buildings is roughly tribal, with no particularly tall structures.
The tallest three-story stone building is likely the Foreign Tribe's command center.
There, Silver-armored Foreign Tribe members stand guard, and inside only Gold-armored Foreign Tribe exist.
Other larger structures are dozens of Altars distributed in various places, facilitating the Foreign Tribe's troop transfers at any time.
To sever the Foreign Tribe's troop transfers to various places, one would likely need to clear out those Altars in advance.
His clone focused on the Foreign Tribe's command center, saw Xingyan and ten newly selected Gold-armored Alien Tribe Elders, but did not see the newly cultivated three-eyed Gold-armored Alien Tribe.
So he temporarily regarded Xingyan as the strongest of the Foreign Tribe.
Xingyan's True Essence Quality was indeed somewhat stronger than that of the experts Zhou Ning, Dian Qing, and Hong Guang, but to Ye Liuyun it was not considered a major threat.
