Yan Houâs chilling voice echoed in the temporarily constructed alien camp, filled with anger and resentment.
On one side, the Chaos Giant Elephant exuding violent pressure roared:
"Crushing bones and scattering ashes? Yan Hou, anger has clouded your perception."
"That city... and that warship, their threat far exceeds estimation, blindly summoning more legions will only attract more greedy gazes, even... the attention of âhigher orderâ. By then, even if we break through Human Emperor City, how will the spoils be shared? Can we still maintain control?"
The Evil Ability Phantom "Evil Eyes" had green flames flickering restlessly at its fingertips, hissing:
"The elephant is right, that âOrder Lightâ... I can feel, it has a terrifying restraint against our origins. Next time, we might be the next truly killed by it after Blade, we need not just more troops, but... something that can absolutely neutralize such a threat."
Yan Hou breathed heavily, the dark energy around him fluctuating.
Though it was angry, it also understood the concerns of Yan Hou and Evil Eyes, the Eleventh Rank Myth exists as the pillar of the race, if it falls here, even if Human Emperor City is eventually taken down, its race might fall behind in the subsequent division of benefits, even be annexed by other watching alien races.
"Then tell me, what should we do?" Yan Hou growled lowly, the sound waves vibrating the space into a hum.
"Should we just give up? The âOriginal Torch Seedâ Chaos Wonders controlled by the Torch Human Clan, I donât believe you are unaware."
"Only by obtaining it, do we have the chance to glimpse the path to Twelfth Rank!"
"Give up? Of course not." Evil Eyes spoke calmly.
"We need a âkeyâ... or... a âshieldâ."
"Explain clearly!" Yan Hou said impatiently.
"I remember, under the âPrimordial Mother Queenâ of the âCorrosive Light Worm Swarmâ is a special branch legion, they specialize in devouring and simulating various energies, even... rules."
Evil Eyes spoke slowly: "If we can persuade them to come, perhaps their feature can temporarily devour or even replicate part of the âOrder Lightâs might."
The Chaos Giant Elephant let out a skeptical grunt:
"Those insects? Theyâre insatiably greedy, their appetite larger than the Chaotic Abyss, whatâs the cost of inviting them?"
"Cost?"
A chilling smile came from Evil Eyesâ mental whisper.
"The cost is that after Human Emperor City is broken, tenths of the living beings in the city and tenths of the âCivilization Originâ of the Torch Civilization will be prioritized for them to devour. And we..." Its spirit swept over the Giant Elephant and Evil Eyes.
"We get what we most wantâa safe chance to destroy that warship, and... an equal share of that Chaos Wonders."
"Tenth? Those disgusting bugs deserve that?"
"Compared to the risk of possible demise and gaining nothing, this cost is acceptable."
Evil Eyes analyzed calmly.
It seemed persuaded by Evil Eyes.
After a brief silence, Yan Hou spoke first.
"Fine!"
Since thereâs a better choice, it wasnât necessary to bring another allied legion, after all, thereâs only one âOriginal Torch Seedâ, and the fewer the living beings that share it, the higher their success rate in opening the path to Twelfth Rank.
Seeing both agreed, Evil Eyes quickly said:
"I will contact the âPredator Emperor Insectâ of the Corrosive Light Insect Clan personally, it and I have had some âtransactionsâ."
The Chaos Giant Elephant and Yan Houâs spirit bodies slightly retracted, expressing their approval:
"Then, during this period, weâll suspend the attack, reorganize the legion, send small troops to continue harassment, not letting them have a chance to breathe, and dull their senses, waiting for our âguestsâ to arrive..."
ââ
Inside Human Emperor City, the victory cheers did not last long.
On the city wall, itâs full of scorched marks and cracks, energy repair beams like silver needles weaving through, trying to mend the wounds of the battle.
At the central square in front of the Human Emperor Hall, numerous severely damaged warships were docked, repair mechanical arms busily working, the atmosphere heavy and weary.
Above the city, Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Wilson (controller of the Thirty-Six-winged Holy Angel), and Star Universe Azure Dragon gathered, but the atmosphere was not relaxed.
Moments later, when the other three Mythical Enslaved Creatures (Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Mythical Asura, Planet Devourer) also arrived, a highest meeting soon started.
"They retreated too smoothly." Jiang Yuan furrowed his brows, looking at the alien signals retreating on the star chart, a trace of unease in his eyes.
"Three Eleventh Rank Myths, though thwarted, are far from critically harmed, especially that Shadow Aggregation, enduring a strike from Order Light only to flee heavily injured, its strength is unfathomable."
Ji Hengâs face was similarly somber, he said seriously:
"The âOrder Lightâ has only two instant cast chances left, should they return, they will surely have countermeasures, next time, it might not go as smoothly."
"The Holy Light Power of the Holy Angel is greatly consumed, it needs time to reconsolidate Holy Power." Wilsonâs voice had a trace of subtle weakness.
The Immortal Qin Star Universe Azure Dragon also let out a dragon roar.
Everyone understood, the current victory was built on surprise and immense sacrifice, nearly a pyrrhic victory, the enemyâs retreat seemed more like a tactical adjustment.
Just then, Li Qing dragging his fatigued body, walked onto the bridge with a scent of smoke, having just pacified the remnants of the Dragon Flame Fleet, his eyes bloodshot:
"Report, the patrol fleet found multiple small alien groups wandering around our city outskirts, constantly making probing attacks on our scouting checkpoints and energy supply points. Theyâre like flies, canât be driven out, canât be finished."
