Chapter 513: 514: Decisive Battle, Ambush!
Nearly all of the surviving Fire Kirin warriors in the Chaotic Star River had gathered here.
About twenty thousand people in total!
Among these twenty thousand, the weakest warriors were already at the peak of the Constant Star Stage. Many of those who initially entered the Chaotic Star River at the Constant Star Stage had advanced to the Black Hole Stage, and Black Hole Stage warriors had also birthed hundreds of new Star System Stage warriors.
Two years of cultivation and combat had significantly improved everyone’s strength.
Ye Hua, dressed in a green robe, stood suspended in the air with a long sword on his back, exuding the unyielding spirit of a young swordsman.
People also implicitly regarded Ye Hua as their leader, after all, he had held the title of the first genius of the Fire Kirin for many years, and the proposal to attack the Scorpion Nest was initiated by him.
Although some people followed the leaders of their respective groups, like Feng Qingluan’s Qing Luan Society, overall, Ye Hua was still the most prominent leader.
He stood in the center, with Nan Lie leading a group of warriors to his left, and Tianci to his right.
Tianci had also made significant progress in the past two years. Although he had not gained any breakthroughs in Suspended Island, his realm had genuinely improved, already reaching Star System Level 4. No one knew what fortunate encounters he had.
Apart from these few, the most eye-catching presence was the female army of the Qing Luan Society.
Feng Qingluan, dressed in pink, exuded unmatched elegance. Behind her were hundreds of women who had at least reached the Black Hole stage. They became the most strikingly beautiful scenery among the crowd.
Her first place in the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele on the Suspended Island had allowed Feng Qingluan’s spiritual power to break through, successfully advancing to the Cui Mang stage. This made her the first among the crowd, and the invisible pressure of spiritual power made her alluring, adding an untouchable charm that made people feel timid when approaching her.
Lin Zhen stood on the edge of the crowd, not far from the Qing Luan Society, looking at the red flame ahead and couldn’t help but miss his own Little Phoenix.
“Everyone!”
Ye Hua came to the front of the crowd and spoke loudly.
“The Battle of the Chaotic Star River has lasted for almost two years, and it’s time for it to come to an end. Everyone here is an elite, and we all know that the Insect Clan can continuously reproduce new Insect Warriors. The longer we drag out this fight, the worse it is for us. Only by crushing their nests can we ensure our final victory.”
“During this time, we have already destroyed three of the Insect Clan’s nests and killed two commanders. Now, there are two Insect Clan commanders inside this Scorpion Nest. As long as we take it down completely, we will gain the upper hand in the Chaotic Star River.”
“I have no right to issue orders to all of you, but I still hope that you can unite and fight together. I’m not doing this to achieve the first place in kills. I’m no longer even in the first place now. All I can say is, if I were to die in this battle, don’t give up because we are all part of the Fire Kirin!”
The whole place was silent. People didn’t say anything, but they were stirred and felt that it was time to bring the battle with the Insect Clan to a close. The sooner it ended, the sooner they could go home.
At this moment, unity was crucial; otherwise, the outcome for everyone would likely not be good.
Only Nan Lie asked, “We have released news in the Dimensional Universe. The Insect Clan must know about this. Will they not be prepared?”
This was also the question in the minds of others, and Nan Lie asking it was perfect.
Ye Hua smiled, “Don’t worry about this problem. The Insect Clan commanders cannot stand each other, and they all want to strive for the top spot. As long as their nest still exists, they will not rely on anyone else. It’s their nature.”
“Moreover, as far as I know, our recent brilliant victories have attracted the attention of warriors from the Rakshasa Empire and Landis Empire. They also want to take advantage of the Chaotic Star River and are currently attacking the Insect Clan’s territories. The Mantis Clan, Giant Hornet Clan, and Beetle Clan are all fighting against the other two countries, and they simply can’t spare any attention to us. So, this is our best opportunity.”
Nan Lie said nothing as this indeed seemed to be a good chance.
“I won’t say any more. We aren’t an army, so we don’t need sophisticated command tactics. Just pick a direction, and everyone fight to the best of your abilities. My brothers, let’s have a competition to see who can kill the most!”
“Yes, yes!” Many people shouted, their fighting spirits boiling.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Hua drew his sword with a clang, pointed it forward, and the warriors behind him surged forward like a tide, charging straight towards the planet where the Scorpion Nest was located.
They were already very close to the planet, less than a thousand kilometers away, and it would take just a moment for these warriors to reach it at their current speed.
When they approached the 500-kilometer range, the planet seemed to explode, as countless flying Insect Clan warriors swarmed out!
Most of them were winged Scorpion Warriors, with a few Locust Warriors mixed in.
The Locust Nest had been destroyed, and these Locust Warriors had followed the Locust Commander to the Scorpion Lair. This also proved that the Locust Commander was still here and had not left.
“Hahaha! You little insects! Come on!”
Ye Hua took the lead, letting out a clear howl, and a whip-like sword Qi field was drawn out, cutting a bloody path through the swarm of insect warriors!
This stroke alone, nearly a thousand insect warriors fell!
The strongest of these newly-born insect warriors were at the peak of the Constant Star Stage, and the lower-level insect warriors were less powerful than human warriors. Before an expert like Ye Hua, who was at the Late Stage of Star System, they had no resistance.
This move inspired everyone, causing the morale of the fire Kirin warriors to soar instantly, and their confidence increased a hundredfold. They immediately broke into the insect clan’s formation from various directions, triggering a bloody storm across the sky.
This scene was also transmitted into the Dimensional Universe and into the view of the Fire Kirin people.
For a time, Ye Hua’s popularity soared to new heights, becoming the backbone of the Empire.
Apart from Ye Hua, Nan Lie’s performance was also quite eye-catching. His dual swords were spinning up and down, and no Insect warrior could even exchange one move with him. Countless corpses fell around him like dumplings.
However, the most eye-catching were the Amazon warriors led by Feng Qingluan.
Although these core members of the Qing Luan Society were women, under the leadership of their strong leader Feng Qingluan, none of them were to be underestimated. Each of them, like a fierce tigress, ferociously cleaved through the swarm of insects like sharp swords.
Especially Feng Qingluan’s three-meter-long machete, its Qi crisscrossing and shining brightly beneath the sky, limbs and severed arms flew into the air as if they were spinning. In terms of killing speed, no one could surpass her.
The Amazon warriors inherited Feng Qingluan’s tactics, opening and closing fiercely, killing the Insect Clan in chaotic street battles.
With the leadership of these experts, the human warriors advanced very smoothly.
Everyone enjoyed the battle, using their best skills freely. These insect warriors seemed weaker than before, especially after the Constant Star Stage insects fell, those who appeared gradually were at the Planet Stage and Satellite Stage.
Such low-level insect warriors on the battlefield could barely be considered cannon fodder, and killing such an insect still counted towards the number of kills. After some warriors discovered this problem, the situation became somewhat uncontrollable.
People began to advance recklessly, vying to kill more low-level insects, and the teams became scattered. Even before the extermination of the peripheral insects, they had already advanced to the surface of the planet where the nest was located.
On the surface, the dense insects seemed endless, and their strength varied greatly. The stronger ones were at the Constant Star Stage, and the weaker ones, just newly born, were only at the Star Boundary level.
Numerous insect warriors surrounded the nest of the Scorpion Clan as if they were defending their last homeland.
“Charge! The insect clan is finished!”
“Kill! Deal with these vulnerable insects and we can destroy the Scorpion nest!”
“Hahaha! Is this all the Insect Clan has? Today I will slaughter them!”
“Where are the commanders? Where are the Scorpion Commander and Locust Commander? Have they all become turtles? Let these underdeveloped insects come out to die!”
The Fire Kirin warriors were all rushing forward, fearing they would achieve less merit and take fewer lives.
Meanwhile, more rational warriors at the back were gradually influenced by them, and they had no choice but to land on the ground. If the majority of the troops went down, leaving a few people in the sky would only lead to being surrounded and annihilated by the reassembled insect warriors.
In this way, nearly 20,000 Fire Kirin warriors landed on the main star where the Scorpion nest was located.
Lin Zhen raised his head, looking at the sky gradually covered by countless insects, and had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
This battle seemed like a premeditated one, with the insect warriors appearing too weak, and their true experts not making an appearance. The Fire Kirin warriors easily entered deep into enemy territory. If the enemy’s main force made a counterattack now…
Warriors may be stronger, but without organization and discipline, they are inferior to regular armies. In order to gain more kills, everyone rushed forward, causing themselves greater losses.
More and more insects gathered in the sky, even the appearance of other flying insect warriors like the Giant Hornet warriors. Lin Zhen knew that his fears were likely true.
The Giant Hornet Clan was not here to resist external enemies; they had set a trap here!
Lin Zhen’s gaze turned to Feng Qingluan and the Qing Luan Society. Feng Qingluan seemed to have sensed something too, and the Qing Luan Society’s advance had long since stopped, as if looking for a chance to escape the battlefield.
Boom~~!!
Suddenly, the top of the insect clan’s Scorpion nest opened, and several figures shot up into the sky, exuding a powerful aura that enveloped the entire field!
The Mantis Commander! Beetle Commander! Centipede Commander! Scorpion Commander! Giant Hornet Commander!
All five remaining Great Commanders were here, along with hundreds of powerful insect warriors at the Star System Stage!
They had indeed fallen into an ambush!
