Chapter 2935: Warship Probe
Ye Liuyun has already collected all the Demon Race army into the Space World, letting them go train and recover.
The remaining ancient demons are few and low in cultivation; he handed them all over to the women and monster beasts to practice on.
After he recovered, he watched their fight for a while, saw they were safe, then casually glanced at the starry sky. But afterwards he kept staring at the starry sky, constantly observing it.
"So many ancient demons!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but exclaim.
His Golden Pupil has already discovered that large numbers of flying boats and warships are heading toward the next planet they plan to attack.
The Ten Thousand Gods Command's guidance is very regular: it circles the core of this star system, collecting planets one ring after another in clockwise order, making it easy to judge their next target.
But now it's obvious these ancient demons are reinforcing the next planet, preparing to muster the whole star system's power to launch a counterattack against them.
"Tiger-headed Beast King, all Spirit Cat Warships prepare for battle!"
Ye Liuyun immediately notified the Tiger-headed Half Beast King.
At this moment he had already begun considering how to withdraw. He released these Spirit Cat Warships to prevent any ancient demon warship from coming early to entangle him.
The Spirit Cat Warships are ready; Ye Liuyun immediately had the Tiger-headed Beast King deploy them around this planet.
"Upon encountering a flying boat or warship, launch attack immediately, no need to interrogate!"
Ye Liuyun directly issued a death order.
"Yes!"
The Tiger-headed Beast King acknowledged and directly issued the order.
"Accelerate!"
Ye Liuyun also notified the monster beasts and women to act quickly, worried someone might come and attack them first. They had been steadily fighting, slowly using those ancient demons to hone their skills.
He and his first clone also immediately began monitoring the movements of the starry sky.
The women and monster beasts all knew him well; seeing him suddenly tense, they immediately sped up, launching full-force attacks on the remaining ancient demons, ending the battle.
Once the battle ended, Ye Liuyun collected them all into the Space World, then let out a slight sigh of relief. As long as these people were safe, he himself didn't mind much; if he couldn't win, he could just run.
However he did not let Qiong Qi withdraw the formation, and also told the Ten Thousand Gods Command not to collect this planet for now. Although the Ten Thousand Gods Command didn't reply to him, it indeed did not immediately collect this planet.
Ye Liuyun then
He thought: "Looking at their posture, they want a decisive battle on the next planet. But if the ancient demon race sends experts to ambush me, letting them come now to settle them early is far easier than dealing with them in a chaotic battle."
"It would be better to lure some of them forward first to see the situation. If I truly can't beat them, I can still retreat. Once I enter the next planet, escaping would be even harder!"
Ye Liuyun thought of this, so he had the Tiger-headed Beast King mobilize the Spirit Cat Warships to go to that next planet, intercept the ancient demon race's warships in the starry sky, and try to kill as many ancient demons as possible in advance.
At the same time, he also notified Heishan and the Tiger-headed Beast King, ordering the Demon Race's entire army to consume all resources, quickly boost strength, and prepare for the great war.
Heishan and the Tiger-headed Beast King, via the Spirit Cat Warships, learned that the enemy planet had many ancient demons, and thus relayed the news to the Demon Race's army.
Hearing that there would be so much food and cultivation resources, the Demon Race army immediately stopped being frugal, took out all resources, began to devour them, and then started cultivating to increase strength.
Ye Liuyun also contacted Yu Xiaofeng, informing him of the situation here, and also letting him have a mental preparation.
Ye Liuyun told Yu Xiaofeng: "As it looks now, the ancient demon race numbers at least several million; the few people I have definitely cannot stop them. If I can't think of a solution, I'll probably need your support then!"
"Do we really have to fight those ancient demons? Several million ancient demons, plus so many Return-to-One Realm experts—even if we throw all our armies at them, we might not be enough to wear them down. Then how will we deal with the Foreign Tribe?"
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's situation, Yu Xiaofeng also worried that their own forces might be exhausted.
Their several armies, through recent constant fighting and resource acquisition, have also increased strength considerably, but they are probably mostly at the Sovereign Fifth or Sixth Layer. After all, they are ordinary soldiers, not able to quickly skyrocket their strength.
Ye Liuyun considered a bit, then told Yu Xiaofeng: "I will definitely take that ancient demon race's planet. But I don't necessarily have to fight to the death.
I will here try to stalemate with them, definitely will mobilize them in advance to consume as much as possible. If it really fails, I'll go find you. I'm just giving you a heads-up, letting
you have a mental preparation."
Ye Liuyun felt the Ten Thousand Gods Command had been consuming itself to save his life. But before, aside from devouring a Demon Race's soul, it had not consumed any other resources. Now that it wants something, Ye Liuyun, even out of gratitude, will try to meet its demand.
Moreover he also worried that if the Ten Thousand Gods Command never gets replenished, it will eventually run out of energy and no longer be able to protect him.
Yu Xiaofeng also knew Ye Liuyun wouldn't act without reason, so he immediately agreed: "Alright, we'll also prepare to leave at any time; when the time comes, you just use the transmitted Black Tower to pick us up!"
After Ye Liuyun finished contacting Yu Xiaofeng, he also had Qiong Qi come out to help re-establish the formation, to prevent a strong expert from sneaking up on him.
He and his clone both used their Golden Pupils to gaze at the starry sky, observing the situation of the Spirit Cat Warships.
The Spirit Cat Warships have already, via spatial shuttle, approached those ancient demons' warships.
The ancient demon warships' defensive formations are poor; almost none can withstand a single hit from a Spirit Cat Warship—whether large or small warship or flying boat, they are shattered by one blow from a Spirit Cat Warship. Yet the ancient demon warships' bombardment has no effect on the Spirit Cat Warships at all; it cannot break their defenses.
"It seems the craftsmanship here is indeed not high!" Ye Liuyun felt relieved in his heart.
When those ancient demon warships are blown apart, many ancient demon soldiers or martial cultivators inside are directly killed. Only in large warships do some ancient demons escape. In small flying boats, the people inside are mostly killed in the blast.
Ye Liuyun's this probe found the effect actually not bad. He immediately let the Spirit Cat Warships expand their attack range, spreading out around that planet, so they wouldn't be too concentrated and get surrounded by ancient demons.
"Only attack the warships; don't let those who escaped chase you!"
Ye Liuyun noticed that after the ancient demon warships were blown open, some of the escaped people rushed toward the Spirit Cat Warships; he immediately reminded the warships not to be careless, lest a strong expert mix in and break the warships' defensive formation.
Thus, all the Spirit Cat Warships immediately scattered, then high-speed moved around that planet, letting the ancient demons fail to catch up while they could seize the chance to bombard the warships.
Once the Spirit Cat Warships go full speed, even if Return-to-One Realm ancient demons fearlessly rush to intercept, they will all be smashed to pieces by the warships.
