Chapter 987 – The Frantic Winged Pegasus Clan
Shan and Speaker Fang can only do this. At this time, everyone in the Winged Pegasus Clan who were loyal to them have already moved to the s.p.a.ce. Just going outside and spreading information would be impossible, they cannot do it with their current status.
Moreover, they chose the person carefully, Fengling. They knew about the history of Fengling's family. Although Fengling didn't give them any food, Shan didn't actually hate her. In fact, Fengling's eldest son was one of Shan's men.
Since Shan knew how sincere Fengling was, he decided to have this information spread through her.
There was also another reason why Shan chose Fengling. This was because of Fengling's personal connections. Although she was only a vegetable grower, but she used to give food to the Speaker's hall. This allowed her to know a lot of people. Moreover, some of these people held great status. And there was also her son. Because of this, it was certainly possible for her to spread messages in a short period of time.
Shan's plan was very successful. In less than three days, the Winged Pegasus clan were already aware that the Foreign Races were on their way. They also knew that although the Foreign Races came to support them, they actually wanted to absorb the Winged Pegasus Clan.
Since the credibility on this rumor was high, and adding on the current sensitive environment, Fenglei soon discovered that his days weren't doing well. Even his family members were affected. Everytime they walk on the streets, they would always be looked at with hostility.
Fenglei and the others haven't felt this before. However, they've seen it happen. The people used to look at Shan with the same gaze, now this gaze was directed at them.
Fenglei felt that each day was like a year. Asking help from the foreign races was his decision. Even if he wanted to explain himself, he couldn't. This was because it wouldn't take too long before the foreign race army arrives.
Fenglei wanted to stop the Foreign Races from coming, but this was impossible. The Foreign Races wouldn't miss this opportunity.
The internal state of the Winged Pegasus Clan was unsteady. Naturally, they weren't able to use their full might against the O'Neal family. But fortunately for them, the O'Neal family was afraid of being baited into a trap, causing them to slow their advance. For the Winged Pegasus Clan, this was absolutely good news.
At the time when Fenglei was having his worst, Shan and Speaker Fang suddenly appeared. This time, they came with a large number of Thunder Clan and Barbarian Race soldiers.
Upon seeing the soldiers from the two clans, the Winged Pegasus Clan was shocked. This didn't mean that they weren't expecting the Thunder Clan and the Barbarians to appear. In fact, at this point, the majority of them knew that Shan went to the s.p.a.ce to look for help. Because of this, they knew that the Thunder Clan and the Barbarians would appear sooner or later. What caused their shock was the appearance of these Thunder Clan and Barbarian soldiers.
The Thunder Clan and the Barbarians weren't very good at forging. In the past, almost all of their weapons and armor were provided by the Divine Race. However, the two clans would also need to send almost all of the ores that they mined from their plane. Because of this, majority of their weapons and armor weren't made in high-quality. This was especially true when they rebelled against the Divine Race, their weapons and armor were beyond miserable.
But now, the armaments equipped by the two clans made the Winged Pegasus stuck in a daze. Then suddenly, Shan appeared in air outside the Palace and loudly said, "My clansmen, I've invited the Barbarians and the Thunder Clan for help in bringing everyone into the s.p.a.ce. I will be opening the rift outside the palace. If anyone wants to enter the s.p.a.ce, then you can go home and pack your things. If you are still hesitating, then this rift will be open for three days before I head towards the other cities. So if you want to enter, please do it with haste!"
Shan was sitting on his mount as he shouted these words to the entire capital. His words laid everything on the table. You either follow him into the s.p.a.ce, or stay here and wait to be enslaved by the foreign races!
For a time, the whole Winged Pegasus capital was plunged into total silence. The Winged Pegasus were still digesting what they heard.
But after a moment, someone loudly cheered before running home. Then they quickly packed up their things and ran towards the Palace's door.
The action of this individual was like a stone being thrown into a calm pond. The ripples of the action became bigger and bigger before everyone in the capital was seething with movement.
Almost everyone in the city ran to their homes and took their belongings. They packed their precious things and quickly ran towards the Palace.
Shan didn't expect this situation, nor did the high-level members of the Winged Pegasus Clan. In the past, these people heavily opposed to Shan's proposal of moving to the s.p.a.ce. Now, almost everyone went crazy as they ran towards the spatial rift. This was truly unexpected.
In fact, Shan didn't know that compared to being killed and enslaved, the Winged Pegasus Clan would rather go to the s.p.a.ce. At the very least, Zhao Hai had always been kind to them. Even if they treated Zhao Hai badly before, Zhao Hai still didn't retaliate against them.
These Winged Pegasus Clan were highly educated and weren't fools. In the past, they didn't enter the s.p.a.ce because they believed that their people would just do well on their own.
But when they discovered that they would be killed or enslaved if they don't enter the s.p.a.ce, they immediately chose to enter the s.p.a.ce.
Even if Shan didn't expect his clansmen to frantically enter the s.p.a.ce, the situation still made him very happy.
Fortunately, he didn't waste his time inside the s.p.a.ce. He invited the Thunder Clan and the Barbarians to help him settle the Winged Pegasus who enters the s.p.a.ce. It can be said that the s.p.a.ce was fully prepared to deal with the influx of people. However, they still didn't expect the Winged Pegasus to frantically enter.
The reason why Shan and the others were unprepared was because they weren't aware of the current situation of the Winged Pegasus Clan. Although it can be said that the O'Neal family's advancement wasn't very fast, but they were still steadily advancing. Moreover, everywhere they went had been broken through. After a baptism of fire, there was basically no people left in those cities. Even if there were survivors, they were turned into either crazy people or disabled. There was no need for the O'Neal family to care about these people. In other words, the O'Neal family ravaged everywhere they went to.
Facing this enemy, the Winged Pegasus Clan were finally scared. They feared extermination and they didn't want to be enslaved by the Foreign Races. And now that Shan and the others appeared, they were given the opportunity to save themselves. Therefore, it was natural for the Winged Pegasus to turn frantic.
With regards to the Winged Pegasus Clan's situation, Zhao Hai was the one who had the most understanding. He expected the Winged Pegasus to enter the s.p.a.ce because he saw how desperate things had become in the past few days. So when Shan and the others showed up, they gave the Winged Pegasus great hope. In this case, it was natural for the Winged Pegasus to go frantic.
Although there were shortcomings in the preparation, Zhao Hai didn't bother to remind Shan and the others since he trusted the s.p.a.ce. With the s.p.a.ce's ability, there would be no problems in receiving the Winged Pegasus Clan. Moreover, this would also help cover up Shan's lie. Zhao Hai would have the Winged Pegasus believe that he was impeded with other matters.
After seeing that the Winged Pegasus were basically settled, Zhao Hai began to feel relief. Then he turned his attention to Yanking City. The construction of Wolf Fang mountain had begun. The place was already settled, the next step was to start building the factory.
Bluewell was responsible for these things, so Zhao Hai didn't have to worry about it. What he was concerned about right now was the O'Neal family. He wanted to see the current state of the family.
It can be said that the discovery of the Winged Pegasus Plane was definitely a good thing for the O'Neal family. They suddenly found a rift that led to an infinite amount of planes, and all of the materials will belong to them. This a.s.sured that the development of the Winged Pegasus Clan in the future would be limitless.
However, Zhao Hai discovered an issue. Information about the O'Neal family's spatial rift was already possibly known by the other families.
Zhao Hai expected these families to suppress the O'Neal family upon hearing this information. But what surprised Zhao Hai was the lack of response from the other families.
After Zhao Hai asked Bluewell about this issue, he finally understood why this was the case.
In the Atlanta Plane, there were families that discovered other planes. Moreover, when they conquered these planes, they found that they obtained a lot of benefits. And this was why they didn't attack the O'Neal family.
There was an unwritten rule among the families in the Atlanta Plane. When a family discovers a plane, the other families couldn't suppress them. This was because these families understood if they suppress the family that discovered the plane, then when they discover their own plane in the future, they would also be suppressed. For these families, this type of things didn't offer any advantages.
Moreover, one must know that the situation of the Magic Armor Continent wasn't the same as the other continents. People in the Warrior and Mage Continents didn't need a lot of ores. Their cultivation relied mainly on basic weapons and armor. On the other hand, magic armors required tons and tons of materials to make, each one equivalent to thousands of weapons and armor. The consumption of the Magic Armor Continent was several times compared to the other Continents, it might even be dozens of times.
It was impossible to rely on the Magic Armor Continent alone to supply the ores required for ma.s.s manufacturing of magic armors. So when the resources of the continent was running thin, a supply crisis emerged. In the end, unless they break open some planes, the Magic Armor continent would suffer losses. So once the magic formation for opening planes appeared, it enabled the Magic Armor Continent to forcefully conquer other planes and plunder their resources. This reinvigorated the Magic Armor Continent. Therefore, once a Family conquered another plane, it became a convention for the other families to not interfere.
Naturally, this only regards to outward suppression. Underhanded tactics was fair-play. However, even then, n.o.body went too far. It was because of this that the O'Neal family was still having a safe time.
After knowing about this point, Zhao Hai began to feel relief. To be honest, he didn't want the O'Neal family to be suppressed right now. This would be disadvantageous to his current plans. At this time, Zhao Hai really wanted to see the clash between the O'Neal family and the Foreign Races.
Zhao Hai turned his gaze towards the Foreign Race army. At this point, they had already reached the Taurus Continent and were rus.h.i.+ng towards the Winged Pegasus Plane. They wanted to control the Winged Pegasus Clan before they manage to enter the s.p.a.ce. If the Winged Pegasus Clan enters the s.p.a.ce, then what would they do to the Winged Pegasus Plane? They still haven't done anything to the other ten continents, so why would they care about this small plane?
And the reason why the Foreign Races obtained this information was because of Fenglei's message. When Fenglei heard that Shan reappeared and everyone was scampering to enter the s.p.a.ce, he began to report everything that happened almost all the time. At this point, the Foreign Races knew almost everything going inside the Winged Pegasus Plane.
Zhao Hai had nothing to say about Fenglei's actions. He actually sold the Winged Pegasus Clan to the Foreign Races. Zhao Hai thought about killing him, but in the end he resisted.
The speed of the Winged Pegasus when entering the s.p.a.ce exceeded everyone's expectation. Just as they brought their valuables into the s.p.a.ce, they suddenly discovered that bringing only the good ones would suffice. This was because inside the s.p.a.ce, as long as you have gold coins, then you can exchange for everything you want.
When these people entered the s.p.a.ce, they immediately believed that Shan wasn't deceiving them. The s.p.a.ce was very good, it was very nice to live in.
With the help of the Barbarians and the Thunder Clan, village after village was established. And all of the Winged Pegasus clansmen who entered the s.p.a.ce had smiles on their faces.
Chapter 988 – Magic Armor vs Ultimate Weapon
Axe was standing on his war tank with George at his side. Then Axe turned his head to George and said, "George, how many days has it been?"
George replied, "Young Master, it's been three days. We haven't met those Winged Pegasus fellows for three days. Even in the cities we've pa.s.sed through, there was still no trace of them."
Axe let out a long breath as he muttered, "Three days, it's really three days. George, can you also feel that this situation seems very familiar?"
When George said this, he stared for a moment. Then he turned to Axe and said, "Young Master, you mean?"
Axe replied, "Isn't the situation here very much like the Ark Continent? The people disappeared and we don't know where they went. This is the same as what happened to the Ark Continent."
George nodded, "Right, just as Young Master said, it's pretty much like back in the Ark Continent. But it's not completely the same. Back in the Ark Continent, the inhabitants had already left for some time. But here, it seems like they had just moved out. If we speed up, then it's possible that we would be able to see where these people moved to. But Young Master, I don't approve to this. No matter where these people went, their action only meant that they couldn't oppose our advance, so they withdrew. We only need the ores in this plane. But if we pursue, then it's possible that we'd run into an ambush. If this is the opposite party's plan, then it would be troublesome."
Axe quietly listened to George's words. George had been performing very well for quite some time. As a staff member, he was very qualified. After hearing George, Axe nodded and said, "Right, what you said is good. Unfortunately, if only we can find out who is the one behind the migration of these people, then we'd be able to solve the knot in our hearts. Forget it, let's continue with what we've been doing. Let's proceed with caution."
George didn't say anything. The army's speed right now wasn't very quick. So as long as they kept going at their current pace, then there won't be any problems.
At this time, Shan was still flying around city after city to move people. Shan already told his clansmen that it was fine as long as they carry their bare minimum possessions. There was no need to carry bulky things because it would affect speed too much. Although they would need to be set-up when they go into the s.p.a.ce, almost all things they need could be purchased with gold coins. As long as they were willing to work, then they would never have problems inside the s.p.a.ce.
Because of this, Shan wasn't worried about looking after his clansmen's life inside the s.p.a.ce. He'd already asked Fei'er about this. Fei'er said that it was very cheap to live comfortably inside. Everyone can afford everything they need. And if you don't want the s.p.a.ce to build you a house, then you can build one yourself. This way, you would save a lot of money.
The speed at which the Winged Pegasus clan entered the s.p.a.ce evidently sped up a lot. The reception inside has been very tense, but it was still being handled properly. This was mainly because n.o.body expected the Winged Pegasus to be this frantic.
At this point, Shan began to feel relief. While he was moving his Clansmen into the s.p.a.ce, he made sure to go to the place with the highest risk of being attacked. Because of this, the O'Neal family wouldn't be meeting any Winged Pegasus member within a few days.
While Shan and his clansmen were busily moving to the s.p.a.ce, the Foreign Races' reinforcing troops had arrived outside the Winged Pegasus Plane's rift. At this time, the rift has been controlled by the O'Neal family. They had built a defensive line and left some war tank and magic armors to defend it.
An army of more than ten million was impossible to miss. Naturally, the O'Neal family was able to discover them. Upon seeing the army, the garrison troops immediately sent out requests for reinforcements. The reinforcement request was divided into two. One went to inform Axe's group, while the other went towards the Clan's base.
The garrison commander seems to have rich battlefield experience. Upon seeing that the enemy would be a threat, he immediately made the right choice and made adjustments to defend as long as they could.
The Foreign Race army arrived in front of the defensive line. And with almost no rest, they launched an attack at the spatial rift.
The Foreign Races anxiously attacked because of two main reasons. The first reason being that Fenglei had been constantly telling them that the Winged Pegasus were migrating quickly. And the second reason, they didn't really care about the O'Neal family.
After Zhao Hai dealt with the Divine Race, the Foreign Races found themselves to have unprecedented confidence. In their opinion, now that the Divines were gone, n.o.body in this world could match them. Because of this, they didn't put the O'Neal family in their eyes. Therefore, just as they reached the spatial rift, they immediately launched an attack without even taking a rest. And when the Foreign Races attacked, the O'Neal family also countered. Their cannons began to fire and hit the approaching army.
The Foreign Races didn't expect such ferocious attack from the opposite party. There were a lot of people who weren't able to get their Domain up in time and were extinguished by the incoming fire.
The O'Neal family's attack was obviously very strong. This cannon attack was even stronger than an attack coming from a magic armor. So naturally, the Foreign Races would suffer.
Upon seeing this situation, the Foreign Races couldn't help but look seriously at the O'Neal family. After they retreated, they didn't immediately launch a second attack. Instead, they slowly drew back and proceeded to reorganize.
However, the O'Neal family wouldn't give them time. The O'Neal family had already known about Domains since they fought with the Winged Pegasus Clan. They also knew that this group wasn't good to deal with. Because of this, after the Foreign Race retreated, the O'Neal family's magic armor immediately came out and attacked them.
The magic armor army might not be able to fight in the skies for a long time, but their strength in a short time was very powerful. Not only were they fast, they also had strong defenses and decent firepower. Therefore, the magic armors launched a lightning attack against the Foreign Races.
The magic armors changed to their aircraft forms and became bomber planes. They used the quickest speed to fly above the foreign race army before bombing them down. Then after unloading their bombs, they immediately made a sharp turn in order to avoid any direct confrontation.
The foreign race Elders didn't expect the enemy to be this bold. They actually dared to initiate an attack. Therefore, they weren't able to respond after being bombed on.
This made the Elders' expressions change. Their previous attack was just a light poking. On the other hand, the O'Neal family's counter-attack was clearly a huge slap to their faces. They couldn't just bear to endure this.
Four Elders immediately flew out of the army before das.h.i.+ng towards the O'Neal family's defensive line. After seeing four people from the enemy side coming out, the O'Neal family commander immediately knew that these four were experts. They wouldn't dare to clash with these people so he immediately commanded war tanks, cannons, and magic armors to prepare. As long as the other party enters their range, then they would immediately pepper them with attacks.
Before long, the Elders entered the attacking range of the O'Neal family. When this happened, the O'Neal family immediately sprang to action. The garrison troops didn't dare to treat this matter lightly. In order to deal with these four people, 50 cannons fired their sh.e.l.ls simultaneously. The O'Neal family had such great weapons for defending. The rounds they used were of very high quality. The fifty rounds of artillery fire went straight towards four people, and they were also very accurately aimed.
But at this moment, the four experts suddenly wore full body armors. Then one of them launched lightning fast punches, sending bulls towards the approaching sh.e.l.ls. Without even getting close to the four people, the sh.e.l.ls were quickly decimated.
When he saw this, the garrison commander's expression sank. He knew that he had ran into his match. He immediately made the artillery fire five or six more shots while with the magic armors prepared. This way, they could respond to anything at any time.
The reason why he didn't make the magic armors enter the battle this time was because if he did, then the artillery would have to stop.
The artillery fire has to stop, but it still wasn't the time. The cannons had a certain range, not too far, and not too close. The current position of the four Foreign Race elders was at the optimum location for cannon fire. Naturally, the commander wouldn't send his magic armors at this time.
However, the attacking strength of the four Elders have exceeded the imagination of the O'Neal family. As the cannons fired just three rounds, the Elders have already battled their way towards the defensive line, which wasn't in the firing range of the cannons. It was at this moment that the magic armors began to be deployed.
This was the first clash between Magic Armors and the Divine Realm's Ultimate Weapons. Altogether, the O'Neal family had deployed 50 magic armors. Sending this many people in order to deal with the four Elders shows how much vigilance the O'Neal family currently had. They sent 50 magic armors in order to keep their losses in check. Even if they couldn't beat the enemy, at the very least they can't have the magic armors be destroyed. One must know that the manufacturing costs of magic armors were very high. Magic armor production wasn't a trivial matter for the O'Neal family, especially magic armors that reached G.o.d-rank.
Chapter 989 – Flaw of the Ultimate Weapons
The magic armors and the Elders quickly began their battle. One has to recognize that the O'Neal family's pilots were really excellent. The mutual cooperation between each one of them were perfect. Additionally, they can transform their magic armors at opportune times, allowing them with a wide degree of attacks. Their attacking strength was also quite good. Almost immediately, the two sides were at a stalemate.
This battle really shook both sides. The O'Neal family didn't expect that 50 magic armors wouldn't be able to exterminate these four experts. At the same time, the Foreign Races were also startled. They see their Supreme Elders as symbols of invincibility. Besides against the anomaly that was Zhao Hai, they haven't seen Supreme Elders suffer a loss. They didn't expect the enemy's metallic men to block the Supreme Elders' attacks.
Both sides were shocked, neither of them expected the strength of the other. At the same time, the O'Neal family also prepared to have the other magic armors subst.i.tute. They were very clear that the magic armors couldn't fight for a long time.
But what the O'Neal family didn't know was that the Foreign Race Supreme Elders couldn't fight for a long time as well. Although their current combat suits were products of the s.p.a.ce, it still needed energy to function. With the strength of the combat suits, their energy requirement was not small. Because of this, the Supreme Elders couldn't fight as for a long time as well.
The biggest advantage of the s.p.a.ce's combat suits was its lack of backlash to the user. In the past, in addition to the immense energy required to run them, if the user can't achieve the requirements, then they would suffer a backlash. In other words, the Divine Race's Supreme Elders, after using the combat suits for a long time, would receive internal injuries. This was the case with Gold Ben from the Taurus Divines.
The s.p.a.ce's combat suits didn't have this disadvantage. These combat suits were now akin to a giant sword. This sword can give you a huge promotion of strength, but when you use it, it would also consume your stamina. And once you run out of strength, then this sword wouldn't be used anymore. More importantly, this sword wouldn't attack you if you run out of strength. At the most, it was a sword, it alone cannot injure you.
Although the current combat suits wouldn't have any backlash, the energy required to use them was still quite big. Even if they were Supreme Elders, using these combat suits for a long time was impossible.
Actually, this disadvantage was left behind by Zhao Hai. The combat suits that he handed over had more problems compared to the ones that the s.p.a.ce was using; such as an over excessive consumption of energy. The combat suits used by Zhao Hai also had problems in energy consumption, but they weren't as severe as the ones used by the foreign races.
Zhao Hai discovered that these people from Foreign Races have no sense of grat.i.tude and were always wary of him. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't give them good things, he wasn't stupid.
Zhao Hai was such a person, if he treated you right and you didn't return the sentiment, then he wouldn't be polite to you. He wouldn't discuss his plans with you anymore.
The s.p.a.ce has the Scanner and the Processing Machine to help Zhao Hai with his life. Although the combat suits have been planted, Zhao Hai used the Scanner and the Processing Machine to modify them a bit before handing them over to the foreign races. Because of this, these combat suits weren't as good as the ones used in the s.p.a.ce.
The four Foreign Race Supreme Elders were aware about their limitation, so after clas.h.i.+ng with the enemy for some time, they chose to draw back.
As the four Supreme Elders retreated, the O'Neal family's magic armors drew back as well. To be honest, the pressure that they felt was really big. Fortunately, they were all experienced fighters, so they made zero mistakes. Otherwise, the consequences would really be unimaginable.
So far, the two sides had been acquainted with the others' power, so n.o.body attacked. The foreign races needed to rest. Meanwhile, although the garrison troops didn't need to rest, they still need to write a report about this situation and then have it sent back to the family.
In the past, they never thought that there were people so strong that four of them could block the attack of 50 G.o.d-rank magic armors. Fortunately, the other side didn't seem to have a lot of those kinds of experts.
But what both sides didn't know was the fact that Zhao Hai had seen the entirety of their battle. After seeing the performance of the O'Neal family's 50 magic armors, Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod. The coordination between the 50 magic armors was really great. Their attack and defensive maneuvers didn't have any point of mistake. Doing this wasn't an easy matter.
As the two sides drew back to their own camps, Zhao Hai turned his head to Laura and the others and said, "It looks like the Atlanta Plane is really extraordinary. Four Supreme Elders in their combat suits could actually be blocked by 50 G.o.d-rank magic armors. At the same time, it seems like these G.o.d-rank magic armors are more formidable than G.o.d-rank Experts. They seem to be close to the peak of power."
Laura nodded and said, "I also didn't expect the magic armors to be that strong. From what i can see, the Foreign Race reinforcement wouldn't be able to do anything to the O'Neal family."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Isn't that great? If they have no way to deal with the O'Neal family, then they would ask for help. When the time comes, the Foreign Race would definitely send support. As for the O'Neal family, it seems like they don't have a lot of G.o.d-rank magic armors. Now, I want to see what kind of magic armor the O'Neal family would send if they suffer huge losses here."
Then Lizzy added, "The O'Neal family would certainly want to deal with the Foreign Races. With how they intend to rule the Divine Realm, the O'Neal would surely find the Foreign Races as their archenemy. And seeing how they handle things, the O'Neal family wouldn't treat them as friends."
Zhao Hai nodded, even he didn't expect the O'Neal family to be so ruthless. Almost all of the Winged Pegasus cities that they came upon were left with no survivors. This caused Zhao Hai to feel puzzled, don't they need any slaves?
But what Zhao Hai didn't know, in the Magic Armor Continent, major families who conquered a plane rarely took slaves. This was because these planes were mainly practicing either magic or martial arts. Such people were hard to conquer, and even if they were captured, there were little use for them. After all, the strongest means of attack in the Magic Armor Continent were magic armors.
If the people from the Magic Armor Continent were out of their magic armors, then they would have almost no fighting power. On the other hand, most of the people in those planes were physically strong. And with the magic armor pilots not being able to wear their magic armors everyday, if the people from the lower planes attacks them, then the consequences would be unimaginable. So for their own safety, the people from the magic armor continent wouldn't accept slaves.
Additionally, most of the heavy work in the Magic Armor Continent were done using magic armors. Their working efficiency was higher than average people by many times. Therefore, they simply didn't need slaves.
At this time, Lizzy said, "The O'Neal family naturally had stronger means, but they just haven't used it yet. Perhaps their stronger method is the same as the Divine Race's combat suits, they would need to pay a price in order to use it. As long as the Foreign Races compel them to a certain point, then the O'Neal family would certainly use them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The Foreign Races are certainly enough to push the O'Neal family. Although magic armors are formidable, they also have their weak point. If the pilots want to rest, then they need to come out of their magic armors. During war time, they have to do this every time they rest. Although they had practiced for so long and had this transition time reduced significantly, they would still suffer under the Foreign Races who were good to go all the time. Moreover, the Foreign Races are rich with fighting experience. They might not understand magic armors for now, but after being in a stalemate for a long time, they would eventually find this weakness. When that time comes, the O'Neal family would certainly suffer a loss. They would need greater strength in order to get an advantage in the war."
Lizzy nodded, "Right. Because of this, I'm quite sure that the O'Neal family would use stronger means. But Brother Hai, you need to pay attention. Commanding magic armors to war isn't the same as commanding ordinary people. In the future, when we have our own magic armors, we need to train good commanders."
When Zhao Hai heard Lizzy, he couldn't help but stare. He hadn't thought about this point, but Lizzy reminded him about this important matter. So he nodded and said, "It seems like we'll look for an opportunity to get Undead creatures from the Atlanta Plane."
Lizzy smiled faintly and said, "Although the Undead are very intelligent, they still fall short compared to living people, perhaps its because of their insufficient experience. So Brother Hai, I think we should get some people from the Atlanta Plane if we want to create a magic armor army. I don't think we should go for undead."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll pay attention to this matter. Now that the Foreign Races have clashed with the O'Neal family, I'm certain that Axe would return. This would give Shan time to move his clan in the next few days. And after all the Winged Pegasus moved, we can finally be relieved about this matter."
Laura smiled and added, "Brother Hai, what do you think about inviting the Dwarves over to the s.p.a.ce? Their impression of you is very good. Moreover, there are no problems with their recent performance and moral behaviour. Having them in the s.p.a.ce would give great benefits to us."
Chapter 990 – Preparations For A Night a.s.sault
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and then he said, "If you want to try, you can tell Ryder about it. If it's successful, then that would be the best. If it isn't, then it's fine. We already have quite an amount of people inside the s.p.a.ce."
Laura smiled and said, "The more people we have inside the s.p.a.ce, the better. We have dozens of backgrounds, but the ones we truly use is actually less than ten. It's such a waste."
Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "Don't worry, let's just take our time. Sooner or later we will make use of them. Right, do you want to go back to the s.p.a.ce to have a look?"
Laura and the others knew what this meant. He wanted to go back to Wild Dragon Island to see how the place was doing.
Naturally, they wouldn't decline Zhao Hai's decision, so they entered the s.p.a.ce with Zhao Hai and went to Wild Dragon Island. There was no need to discuss the island's situation, the laboratory was doing really well. In order to speed up the research, Zhao Hai got a few computers from the science and technology background and improved them using the processing machine. Then he handed them over to Karen and the others to use. This made their work much more efficient.
While Zhao Hai and the others were relaxing inside the s.p.a.ce for the day, Axe and the others weren't having a great time. They had received the report from the defensive line describing the attack. These days, they had been steady and weren't going very fast. And this time, they suddenly received this request for help. As soon as the letter landed on Axe's hand, Axe couldn't help but be surprised.
Axe was very clear, now that they were inside this plane, if the rift was sealed up, then that would be equal to them being choked to death. This wasn't a good development. Because of this, Axe immediately looked for the Generals who came with him.
These Generals were old members of the O'Neal family. Even the O'Neal family's Patriarch would give them some face. Because of this, Axe needs to discuss this matter with these people.
After waiting for these Generals to arrive inside his War Tank, Axe presented the letter on the table as he looked at these officers and said, "I just received a report from the defensive line. An army has suddenly appeared outside this plane. It seems like there are millions of soldiers. Everyone have a look, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Axe, the expression of those present changed. One of them immediately stood up and said, "Young Lord, we're currently inside a plane with enemies inside. If we let people block our exit, then we'll end up being surrounded on both ends. That wouldn't be good. Young Lord, we should get back right away."
Every commander present nodded. Axe nodded as well as he said, "I also know about this. But I believe that we should return in batches. We will send a group of magic armors back first as we slowly draw back. So even if those inside this place counter-attacks, then we would have some people to block them. In this case, we wouldn't fall into a situation where we get our backs attacked. What do you think?"
As soon as they heard Axe, these commanders were a little surprised. To be honest, they weren't convinced of Axe before. After all, Axe hadn't commanded a battle in the past. But after this time's attack, they became relieved. Axe's commanding capabilities were quite satisfactory, and he hasn't made any mistakes. Because of this, they didn't raise any objections nor did they neglect giving him face. After all, Axe was the son of the Patriarch, it wasn't a good idea to offend him.
And this time, the plan that Axe proposed made them a little stunned. It wasn't the plan, per se, the plan can be said to be alright. But for a newcomer in the battlefield, Axe keeping a calm mind in this situation showed his character. This was what made these people surprised.
However, they didn't react too much as they just agreed to Axe's plan. Axe then proceeded to a.s.signed tasks. He left behind the majority of War Tanks and some magic armors. As for the remaining magic armors, all of them were going to be sent back to the defensive line. To speed up the return of the magic armors, Axe made the magic armors bring energy converters with them. With this, they would be able to fly for a long time.
The method that Axe was doing was generally used on magic armors dedicated to sending letters. These magic armors would carry multiple energy converters so that the pilot could replace them while on the go. This would make their travel quick. Naturally, this tactic wasn't suitable for a long-distance attack. It was because this method would make the magic armor pilot extremely fatigued, it will affect their fighting strength.
However, the situation this time was different. This was because they needed to support the defensive line. As long as their magic armors were able to reach the defensive line, then their pilots could just rest there before they can be mobilized for battle. Additionally, the defensive line wasn't very far, so Axe was able to use this method.
Axe didn't head back with the magic armors. He took charge commanding the main army to slowly retreat. It was George who went with the reinforcing magic armor troop.
Axe's current situation was unknown to Shan. At this time, he was still moving his people to the s.p.a.ce. The situation didn't change from before.
But the same cannot be said about the Foreign Race camp. They were actually anxious. Although most of them were taking a rest, there were some who cannot fall asleep. They didn't expect the enemy to be able to block their Supreme Elders. The influence of this event to their morale was quite significant.
The foreign races were somewhat like the Divines, they too wors.h.i.+p the power of their Supreme Elders. They held great belief towards their ultimate weapons. In their eyes, once their Supreme Elders use their ultimate weapons, then there wasn't anything that they couldn't solve. This wors.h.i.+p wasn't brought about in one or two days, it was a mindset that was pa.s.sed down through tens of thousands of years, it was almost carved into their bones.
This sense of wors.h.i.+p both had its advantages and disadvantages. As long as there was a Supreme Elder present, then an army's fighting spirit would be amplified, strengthening the army by an explosive 120%. Naturally, the disadvantage was an obvious one. If their Supreme Elder gets entangled with something, then the morale would fatally drop.
Now, after seeing the Supreme Elders not being able to deal with the metallic men, the morale of the Foreign Race army would surely be affected.
The Supreme Elders have also noted this situation. Of these Supreme Elders, one of them was the original Supreme Elder of the Beastman Race, the other three had just been promoted when their race gained new ultimate weapons. Compared to the three Supreme Elders, the original Beastman Supreme Elder had the greatest fighting strength.
Combat suits were like weapons, and each weapon had its own characteristic. If one uses a weapon for a lifetime, then the weapon would eventually become part of one's body. On the other hand, if one just had their hands on a weapon, then even if this weapon was strong, it was impossible for the person to display its real capabilities in a short time. The same was the case for combat suits.
The three had just obtained their combat suits and became Supreme Elders of the Beastman and the Elven Races. Although obtaining the combat suits made them powerful, they were still yet to utilize the combat suits' abilities completely. Because of this, compared to the original Beastman Supreme Elder, they still fall short. Naturally, this group of Supreme Elders were headed by that Beastman Supreme Elder.
Sitting in the room, the original Beastman Supreme Elder's expression had sunk. This room was made by magic, the furniture and anything else was made by magic as well. Then a layer of beast skin was placed on top of the floor. In this plain, this condition wasn't bad at all.
The Beastman Elder looked at the other three and said, "You three, the enemy this time doesn't bode well for us. Tell me what you think?"
The three elders turned silent. To be honest, the O'Neal family's performance today made them very startled. They didn't know any method to deal with them at this time.
The Beastmen Elder looked at the three's reaction and understood what they were thinking. He couldn't blame them for being silent, even he didn't have any means of dealing with them right now. However, the situation needed to be changed.
The Beastman Elder continued, "The army we faced are definitely the ones attacking the Winged Pegasus Clan. Moreover, those we clashed with are merely their garrison troops. If their garrison troops are this hard to deal with, our troubles would be bigger once their main army comes back. Because of this, I think we should recuperate our energies and carry an attack during the night. Let's see how they fight during nighttime. If their nighttime combat capabilities are still very strong, then we can only make a hard attack tomorrow. If they couldn't fight well at night, then we will fight it out during nighttime."
The other Supreme Elders nodded. This time, the four Supreme Elders led an army of 20 million. They had just made contact with their enemy, so they couldn't just retreat. If they did, then they would have no face left, so they had no choice but launch another a.s.sault.
When he saw the three Elders agree, the Beastman Supreme Elder nodded and said, "Since you agree, then you should go back to rest. We will act at night." The three nodded before bowing to the Beastman Supreme Elder and leaving.
When the three Elders left, the Beastman Supreme Elder also called the army Generals in. The lead General was a Beastman. Naturally, the Elves also had their own General, so the Supreme Elder called two Generals in.
After the two entered the room and exchanged greetings, the Supreme Elder said, "I called you two here to tell you that us four Supreme Elders will be attacking this evening. You need to prepare and see if they manage to adapt to nighttime battle. When we leave, go follow behind us. If the other party isn't comfortable with fighting in the night, then you will immediately launch an attack. Even if we cannot take their defensive line, we can still make them suffer a loss. Don't send a lot of people in this attack. The defensive line is huge, taking too many people would be useless. As for how many to bring, I'll leave that to you."
The two nodded. Then the Beastman Supreme Elder waved his hand, making them leave. The Beastman Supreme Elder slowly closed his eyes and controlled his breathing. He needed to be in optimum condition later because the other party was very strong. Especially those magic armors, their fighting strength was very good.
The day slowly turned dark, and Axe's reinforcement troops had yet to arrive. The entire defensive line was brilliantly illuminated. The defensive line was powered with energy converters, allowing the garrison troops to set up a lot of search lights. They didn't stop staring outside the defensive line. They were afraid that the foreign races would make a night a.s.sault.
Naturally, the O'Neal family had certain means to deal with a nighttime a.s.sault. However, although their magic armors can fight at night, they weren't as comfortable as during the day. This would affect the fighting strength of the magic armors. Because of this, they had to resort to such means in order to fight in darkness.
Before 1 o'clock at night, the surrounding area was silent, the foreign races had yet to move. A short while after 1 o'clock, the four Supreme Elders began to make their move towards the defensive line. At the same time, the Elves and Beastmen prepared 100 thousand troops to follow behind. The Elves brought 30 thousand while the Beastman took 70 thousand. Among the 70 thousand Beastmen, 30 thousand of them were from the Rat Tribe, 20 thousand from the Cat tribe, and the last 20 thousand came from the Wolf tribe. These were the races that were the most suitable for stealth.
There were no distinction between War Clans and other Tribes in the Beastman race here. They advanced from 1st to 9th rank and the become G.o.d-rank experts. And no matter which race, the disparity between their fighting strength wasn't very big. Because of this, there were no such thing as War Clans nor Slave Races in the Divine Realm's Beastman race.
On the other hand, the 30 thousand Elves were all archers. Even if they become G.o.d-ranks, they still need to have a discipline they focus on. For example, there were some Elves who prefer swords while some wanted to use bows and arrows, and there were also those who use magic. This time, the 30 thousand troops all used bows and arrows.
Although it can be said that the O'Neal clan's defense was very dense, it wasn't enough to intimidate the four Supreme Elders as well as the stealth troops. There was needless to say but the four Supreme Elders were very fast. The same was also true for the stealth troops. However, they couldn't be hasty or else they would be detected by the O'Neal family. After all, the family's search lights weren't just mere ornaments.
The four Supreme Elders quickly entered the area covered by the defensive line. But they were able to quickly discover that the O'Neal family had set-up some early warning systems. The four Elders focused their energies in order to avoid these alarms. But the closer the went towards the defensive line, the more warning devices they encountered. It was inevitable for the group to slow down.
The group carefully moved forward, getting closer and closer to the defensive line. They were now able to attack, but they chose not to. They wouldn't be able to obtain a huge victory this way. Therefore, they went closer to the defensive line before making an attack.
