Chapter 1309: Chapter 1295: Fighting to the Death
Yang Xiao stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and said loudly:
"Everyone, after today’s battle with the Dwarf Star people, we’ve all noticed that their individual combat capability is strong. More importantly, they have a Saint Level Supreme Extraordinary Commander,
Without such a leader, even if we fought with numerical superiority, we might not have lost this battle."
Someone muttered,
"Isn’t that obvious? If they didn’t have that Saint Level Supreme leader, we would’ve worn the Dwarf Star people down today."
"One Saint Level Supreme can defeat all our Emperor Level experts. Elder Ye and Thunder God are seriously injured, and four Emperor Level Transcendent experts have died. It’s impossible to fight further battles!"
...
Recalling today’s battle scenes, especially the appearance of that Saint Level Supreme expert, everyone shivered.
Even Elder Ye and Thunder God, thinking back, felt a lingering fear.
In the face of such powerful foes, there’s no choice but to concede.
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"Indeed, the Dwarf Star people’s Saint Level Supreme is formidable. However, no matter how formidable he is, he’s just one person,
After today’s battle, we’ve already worn down about half of the Dwarf Star’s fifty thousand warriors. With half left, it’s impossible for them to occupy our Witch Star."
Everyone was shocked and asked,
"Young Master Yang, what do you mean by that?"
"It’s simple logic. We have more than a hundred empires on Witch Star. If their twenty thousand warriors are divided among them, that’s only about two thousand people per empire. Can a two-thousand-man force control an empire?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The White Elephant Emperor said:
"If it’s just a force of two thousand, my Youming Empire can annihilate them in minutes. But the Dwarf Star people must have reinforcements. What do we do when their reinforcements arrive?"
"Then we must eliminate them before their reinforcements arrive!"
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked at Yang Xiao, unsure of what he had in mind.
"Yang Xiao, what’s your plan? Let’s hear it."
The Second Elder of the Genetic Store struggled to sit up, looking at Yang Xiao expectantly.
"I don’t have a good plan; the only way is to fight the Dwarf Star people desperately."
"Fight desperately? How do we do that?"
"Think about it, isn’t the Dwarf Star’s weakness their small numbers?"
"Exactly, they now have just over twenty thousand left. We can still muster five hundred thousand troops to attack them."
"That’s right, our advantage is in our numbers. We should overwhelm them, and if the Dwarf Star people are still scattered among the six empires, it’ll be much easier. We can focus our forces and eliminate them city by city, just avoid that Saint Level Supreme."
"Young Master Yang, scouts just reported that the Dwarf Star people have abandoned other cities and have gathered in the Fire Wolf Empire Capital,
Though gathered, their combat power is strong; how do we fight them head-on?"
Yang Xiao pondered and said,
"It seems the Dwarf Star people are clever and have realized their weakness. But even though they’re gathered, we still have a seventy-percent chance of annihilating them,
Second Elder, if we concentrate all Emperor Level warriors on Witch Star, how many people do we have?"
"About seven to eight hundred thousand?"
"And how about all the warships?"
"Five to six hundred ships."
Yang Xiao nodded firmly and said:
"This battle requires no skill; we must annihilate them before Dwarf Star’s reinforcements arrive,
When the Dwarf Star reinforcements arrive and their numbers increase, will we still have a fighting chance?"
The hall fell into a brief silence.
Everyone knew that even though the opponent only has over twenty thousand left, based on today’s battle, killing these people might cost Witch Star fifty to sixty thousand of their own.
Xinghai said to Yang Xiao:
"Yang Xiao, the Dwarf Star warriors and some Emperor Level Transcendent experts are manageable, but that Saint Level Supreme is too big a threat. How do we deal with him?"
Yang Xiao scratched his head and sighed,
"I have no way to deal with him. I thought of sending someone to distract him, but who can do it? As a Saint Level Supreme, his speed far exceeds ours. Even if we gather all Emperor Level experts to besiege him, he’s still unbeatable."
The Third Elder of the Genetic Store, lying on a chair, suddenly said:
"If we could lure him to Mingluo City, there might be a way to deal with him."
The Second Elder realized and said,
"Third Elder, are you suggesting using Mingluo City’s Heavenly Punishment Array?"
"Correct, apart from the super Defense Light Screen, Mingluo City also has a super defensive array, the Heavenly Punishment Array. This array can deal with a Saint Level Supreme and has been around for five hundred years,
It played a significant role when the eight Saint Level Supremes on Witch Star fought Thanos Saint."
"However, Fire Wolf Empire is tens of thousands of kilometers from Mingluo City. It’s impossible for the Dwarf Star leader to use a Transmission Array to get here, right?"
...
After a long discussion, they still hadn’t figured out how to deal with the Dwarf Star Saint Level Supreme, but everyone agreed to the plan of concentrating forces to eliminate the Dwarf Star people.
"Rather than being enslaved and humiliated by the Dwarf Star people in the future, it’s better to fight desperately now; there might still be a chance of victory."
"Even if they have a Saint Level Supreme, we can fight. After all, once the Dwarf Star people are wiped out, how can one Saint Level Supreme rule Witch Star?"
"Good, rally your troops overnight. Tomorrow, deploy all warships, including the dozens that can handle Emperor Level Transcendent experts, to annihilate the Dwarf Star people."
...
Everyone suddenly regained confidence, each returning to their empire to gather troops and prepare for battle the next day.
After consuming the Essence Blood Pill, Thunder God had already regained consciousness.
Long Jing and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Xiao approached Long Jing,
"Jing’er, I have something to tell you."
Long Jing hesitated and looked at Yang Xiao.
"What is it?"
Yang Xiao led Long Jing to a secluded corner of the hall and whispered:
"Jing’er, how about you and our son temporarily go to Purple Origin Star?"
Long Jing was startled, looking at Yang Xiao.
"Is that necessary?"
Yang Xiao whispered,
"Absolutely. Even if we kill these Dwarf Star people, more will come in the future, possibly stronger ones. It’s a long shot for Witch Star to defeat the Dwarf Star people."
"Why are you so sure the Dwarf Star people will conquer Witch Star?"
Yang Xiao couldn’t tell her that the consciousness of a Dwarf Star person resides in his mind, giving him an understanding of the Dwarf Star situation.
"Jing’er, even if the Dwarf Star people can’t take over Witch Star right away, the future of Witch Star will most certainly be amidst war, and everyone will be in constant danger,
Especially you, as the Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire, you might become a prime target for the Dwarf Star people."
Long Jing paused, then firmly said:
"Yang Xiao, I’m now the Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire. I won’t abandon my people to escape alone."
"If so, can you consider our son’s safety, to have him temporarily leave Witch Star?"
Long Jing looked at Yang Xiao, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
