"We can't go any deeper. Set up camp here. Everyone, connect your territories as I taught you before, so that your families can move between them and provide support to various places!" After going a certain distance, Wang Xinghe stopped everyone.
By this time, the surroundings were already teeming with numerous dark creatures. Even though the lords had huddled together, there were still a constant stream of casualties.
Ye Chen even had to deploy 200,000 fire crows at the same time just to barely protect everyone. As for the occasional high-level dark creatures that appeared, Wang Xinghe was still the one to deal with them for the time being.
His harpies had already been deployed, with millions of harpies protecting the newlyweds. Otherwise, Ye Chen's two hundred thousand fire crows alone wouldn't have been enough to protect them.
Even so, everyone still felt immense pressure. It wasn't until this moment that these new lords truly realized the horror of the interdimensional war. This was not the trial space, where the space rules would automatically adjust the number of dark creatures to avoid an excessive gathering of them in order to accommodate the newcomers.
Here, everyone constantly faces immeasurable dark creatures, even those far stronger than themselves. Looking at the battlefield in the starry sky, which resembles a meat grinder, everyone feels a chill. Even the most arrogant and proud lords have to put aside their pride and beg to survive in this war.
"Old Wang! I won't rush you after we get back. We underestimated the interdimensional war. I apologize to you!" A voice rang out in the starry sky. Since the lords couldn't speak through the channel, this lord directly summoned a giant projection and shouted in the direction of Wang Xinghe.
Those who participate in wars are all from the clans, while the lords usually stay in the rear. Unless their territory is breached and they have no choice but to take action, the lord always plays the role of overall coordinator.
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense. Don't you think there are enough dark creatures already?" Gone was his previous amiable tone. The dense dark creatures surrounding them were putting considerable pressure on him. As they went deeper, the number of dark creatures increased, and relying solely on a million harpies was already becoming insufficient.
"Send out another 100,000 fire crows!" Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment. Another 100,000 fire crows took to the air and rushed towards the creature in the darkness.
Ye Chen didn't dare to send out all the fire crows at once. Although he had tens of millions of fire crows, only about a million of them had grown to level 3 or above. With the rotation system, 300,000 was already the limit.
As for the larger number of lower-level fire crows, it wouldn't be easy for them to fight in space, so they weren't sent out.
"Notify Cecilia to prepare his army and mercenary group. I will send them to other lords' territories later so he can train his troops! Also, send one million fire crows below the third rank to accompany him!" After sending out the fire crows, Ye Chen said to Lynn, who was waiting on the Baixian Platform.
With the wars raging across the various territories, it's the perfect time for Cecilia to train his troops. He commands an army of tens of thousands, all of whom are below the third rank, but their numbers far exceed those of the lords present. Deploying them would definitely be a significant asset.
Moreover, he didn't simply assign this army; Harold's mercenary guild was also included. Although the guild didn't have many members, it had several experts of the fourth rank or above, enough to handle any emergencies, not to mention the million fire crows escorting them.
"Finally, we can start a real war!" Harold, now middle-aged, said with a hint of excitement after receiving Lynn's notification.
Unlike infants born on the Primordial Star who believe that the world is only as big as the Primordial Star and will be displaced after experiencing the destruction of another world, the earliest powerful beings who came to the Primordial Star were always thinking about counterattacking the darkness. Now, thirty years have passed, and they have finally gotten such an opportunity.
"I never imagined that I would have the chance to attack the darkness in my lifetime!" Cecilia, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, also sighed. The destruction of the Mother World was an eternal pain in the hearts of all of them.
Cecilia still can't forget how the various powers surrounding the palace looked at them like lambs to the slaughter, as if they were being distributed like goods.
This was the result of the world's destruction, and after these thirty years, he gradually realized that it was useless to resent these lords. They were just fighting against the darkness. The real culprit was the dark force that destroyed one world after another.
"Hehe! I never expected this, did I? That one day I would be able to travel with a prince!" Harold chuckled. Despite his increased strength, his appearance did not change with age; he still wore that same sly grin.
"Shouldn't you have never imagined that you would one day become a prince consort?" A female voice rang out from the side. It was Catherine who asked with a hint of teasing. Her youthful and beautiful face, still like that of a young girl, made her look nothing like a mother of two.
"Hey! This is something I never even dared to imagine!" Harold laughed loudly, his face full of smug satisfaction.
"Alright, don't be too careless. We've heard a lot about the Dark Invasion at the general store, and the Elf Royal Academy's library also has a lot of information about it. Plane wars are very brutal, so it's better for everyone to be careful!" Sarah reminded from the side.
Their five-person team did not disband after graduation. Although they each had their own careers, they were still nominally part of the same mercenary group. Faced with this interdimensional war that affected the entire territory, this original mercenary team reunited.
Soon, Ye Chen's summoning light shone on everyone. As a lord, he had the authority to teleport freely within his territory, and the Baixiantai was his place to muster his troops, where he could send all his kin to the battlefield.
"Come back alive!" Watching the residents of New Aini City leave the territory, all Ye Chen could do was offer a blessing, accompanied by a sea of fire.
A million fire crows flew out at once, dyeing the entire sky a crimson hue. Their sheer scale surpassed even that of high-ranking fire crows, startling many lords. Even Wang Xinghe was almost frightened, as so many fire crows were comparable to his harpies. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were just a flock of fire crows below rank 3.
