Free Web NovelChapter 1299: Chapter 1287: Witch Star Faces Catastrophe
One of the Four Great Heavenly Demons of the Dwarf Star people, Du Xingyun, launched an assault on Witch Star. Fifty thousand Elite Soldiers struck overnight at the Fire Wolf Empire, which was closest to the Beibing Circle.
The Fire Wolf Empire was completely unable to resist this time; tens of thousands of warriors were slaughtered.
The Fire Wolf Emperor died in battle, and the Eldest Prince, taking several hundred guards and clansmen, fled in haste to Mingluo City.
"Second Elder, this is bad, the Dwarf Star people have launched a massive invasion of our Witch Star. There are tens of thousands of them. Our Fire Wolf Empire Capital was taken in a single night, and my royal father was killed."
The Second Elder of the Genetic Store was utterly shocked when he heard this.
"What? The Dwarf Star people are back again?"
"Hurry and convene the Witch Star Empire Alliance conference, mobilize the army to resist the Dwarf Star people."
At this moment, a guard rushed in, bringing with him a man covered in blood.
"Reporting to Second Elder, the Bull Rhinoceros Empire has been taken by the Dwarf Star people."
The Second Elder and the others were startled.
"What? The Dwarf Star people are moving this fast?"
In the next few hours, three more Empires were occupied by the Dwarf Star people.
The entire Mingluo City was shaken.
Intelligence personnel from each Empire also rapidly relayed the latest battle reports back to their own nations.
The Genetic Store Headquarters Elder Council held an emergency meeting.
"Everyone, our Witch Star is facing an unprecedented catastrophe. We must immediately convene the Witch Star Alliance conference. The Alliance Army that was previously formed must also assemble at once and prepare to wage war against the Dwarf Star people."
"As the core city of Witch Star, Mingluo City must immediately initiate its highest Defense and raise the Defense Light Screen to its maximum Energy level."
"Within Mingluo City, aside from essential work, everyone must be organized at once and投入到大规模的戒备战争之中."
"Shut down the Transmission Arrays linking us to most of the northern Empires, to prevent the Dwarf Star people from using the Transmission Arrays to launch a surprise attack on Mingluo City."
"But if we shut down the Transmission Arrays, how will the people of those Empires under attack escape?"
"There’s nothing we can do. They can only flee by flying on their own; for the moment they cannot use the Transmission Arrays.
Not only must the Transmission Arrays of the northern Empires be shut down, the Transmission Arrays of the other cities must also raise their security Level."
...
In a single night, the entire Witch Star Continent was shaken, and people fell into a state of panic.
After occupying six Empires overnight, the Dwarf Star people halted their offensive.
In the latter half of the night, the White Elephant Emperor, the Emperor of Great Dragon Long Jing, the Flying Leopard Emperor Wanyan He and more than a hundred other Emperors gathered in Mingluo City to urgently discuss countermeasures.
No one had expected the Dwarf Star people’s full-scale offensive to come so quickly.
...
Yang Xiao was sleeping with his arm around Xiao Ling when he was startled awake by a rapid knocking at the door.
"Damn, who the hell is so lacking in morals? I just fell asleep."
Yang Xiao, bleary-eyed, yawned.
Xiao Ling pushed him off her and said:
"I’ll go take a look."
Xiao Ling quickly put on her clothes and ran to the door. She opened the inner wooden door and, through the outer Defensive Light Curtain Gate, saw Dean Xinghai.
Xiao Ling was startled and hurriedly opened the Defensive Light Curtain Gate, asking:
"Dean, it’s so late, is there some emergency?"
If it weren’t an emergency, how could the dignified Dean possibly come over and knock on the door to disturb a sleeping couple?
Xinghai asked urgently:
"Where’s Yang Xiao?"
"Ah, he’s inside sleeping. Yang Xiao, the Dean is here for you, get up."
As Xiao Ling spoke, she invited the Dean into the living room and poured him a cup of tea.
"Dean, have some tea!"
"Forget the tea, hurry and get Yang Xiao out here, something big has happened."
Xiao Ling was startled and hurried into the bedroom. At this moment Yang Xiao was already dressed.
The two of them came out and stood before Dean Xinghai.
Yang Xiao yawned.
"Dean, what’s so urgent? Did something catch fire or what?"
"Yang Xiao, this is a hundred times, a thousand times more serious than a fire."
"Huh?"
"We just received information from the Flying Leopard Emperor: tonight the Dwarf Star people attacked the northern Fire Wolf Empire, Bull Rhinoceros Empire, Baisheng Empire, Dalang Empire, Hawk Empire, and Divine Tree Empire—six Empires in total. They occupied the Capital Cities and killed tens of thousands. The situation is extremely critical."
"What?"
Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling were both stunned, staring blankly at Dean Xinghai.
It had only been a month since Yang Xiao returned from attending Long Jing’s ascension ceremony. The entire Witch Star Continent was peaceful, and no one had expected disaster to descend on their heads like this.
Dean Xinghai glanced at the two of them and said heavily:
"This is a catastrophe. No one on Witch Star can escape it."
Yang Xiao calmed himself a little and asked:
"Dean, what do you plan to do?"
"What else can we do? We can only fight to the death. I came to tell you that the Imperial Alliance conference of the Witch Star Continent is being held in Mingluo City. The Flying Leopard Emperor has already gone there.
In addition, the Second Elder of the Genetic Store has notified us, hoping that all Emperor Level Transcendent Realm experts will also hurry over to jointly discuss strategies for resisting the enemy.
So, I had no choice but to come and disturb your sweet dreams."
At this point, Yang Xiao no longer felt like joking with Dean Xinghai. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"How many troops did the Dwarf Star people send this time? What about their experts?"
"According to information from the front lines, the Dwarf Star people have dispatched about fifty thousand troops this time, more than ten times their number from last time. That’s why they dared to attack six Empires at once.
As for their experts, we don’t yet know. We may only find out in a couple of days."
"Fifty thousand?"
Yang Xiao drew in a sharp breath.
Yang Xiao had taken part in the battle at the North Pole Snow Mountain to encircle and suppress the Dwarf Star people, so he had some understanding of the Combat Power of their ordinary warriors: all of them possessed Cultivation in the Empire Level Advanced realm, and their Combat Power was extremely formidable.
Moreover, based on the information exchanged with him in his mind by Wu Dai, he also knew that the Dwarf Star people, through a special Genetic Evolution Method, could forcibly raise many people to the Empire Level Advanced realm.
This was very similar to the Great Dragon Empire’s Genetic Evolution Method, which could forcibly raise many people to the Empire Level Realm.
If all fifty thousand of the Dwarf Star warriors possessed Cultivation in the Empire Level Advanced realm, then even the million-strong Alliance Army of Witch Star might not be able to defeat them.
"If the Dwarf Star people have sent so many troops, then their leader’s Combat Power must be terrifying as well. If that’s the case, Witch Star is truly in danger."
Yang Xiao looked at Xinghai and asked:
"If—just if—the Dwarf Star people conquer Witch Star, you... what should we do?"
Yang Xiao had originally wanted to ask, "what do you plan to do?" In his heart, he actually didn’t have deep feelings for Witch Star. He intended to leave Witch Star and hide on Purple Origin Star.
If the Dwarf Star people ever found Purple Origin Star, at worst he could just return to Earth.
In fact, in a certain sense, the Dwarf Star people ruling Witch Star wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing—at least the people of Witch Star wouldn’t be invading Earth anymore, right?
Yang Xiao didn’t feel that tense inside; he was looking at everything completely from the perspective of an outsider.
Although he had said he could fight side by side with the people of Witch Star, that depended on the situation. If faced with a crushing onslaught from the Dwarf Star people, he wasn’t stupid enough to throw his life away.
Dean Xinghai gave Yang Xiao a look and sighed:
"Sigh, what else can we do? There’s only one path: fight to the death."
"If Witch Star is doomed and can’t be held, you can come with me to Purple Origin Star. You could even move the entire Flying Leopard Academy to Purple Origin Star. Don’t forget, we’ve already established a sister academy there that’s the same size as Flying Leopard Academy!"
