"Brother Chen? Do you really think your witch clan... can develop?" The fat man turned his head stiffly and asked with an uncertain look.
"I think it's not too late for me to change my clan now!" Ye Chen said decisively. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Tianzhu Mountain would be broken by Gonggong again, and then he would have to train a Nuwa to mend the sky.
Of course, the two were just talking; it was impossible for Ye Chen to actually give up the Witch Clan. Even with its flaws, the powerful Witch Clan was destined to be the protagonist of a world.
Moreover, this place is different from the real dark world. There are endless dark creatures, and the witch clan has plenty of opportunities to squander their inexhaustible energy. There is no need for them to fight among themselves, let alone knock down Tianzhu Mountain.
The appearance of the Witch Clan completely blocked the dark creatures in front of the Jade Rabbit. Various laws of power bombarded the star field. Even the cunning dark predators dared not charge forward. Only the Bronze Head was fearless and fought against the Witch Clan members in the laws.
However, the number of bronze heads was not large, and they were all stopped by the Wu Clan. They then waited for the magical bombardment from the Jade Rabbit and Fire Crows behind them.
War inevitably brings casualties. Even Ye Chen can only try his best to protect the lives of those close to him and keep the large-scale sacrifices within a certain range. Compared to the dead warriors, the stronger ones who are forged in the crucible can lead their tribes and territories to greater prosperity.
"My goblins are almost ready, should we go for it?" Half an hour later, the fat man asked Ye Chen.
During this time, they had been holding their ground, waiting for the fat man's goblin army to replace the energy crystals. But holding their ground was not Ye Chen's style. The reason he and the fat man stayed behind to cover the rear was to break in and see if there were any good things inside.
If anything in a star field shrouded in darkness could be preserved, it would undoubtedly be an invaluable treasure. This is one of the reasons why many lords are so eager to fight against the darkness. In addition to the continuous stream of merit points, treasures that can promote the development of their territories are also something that many lords need.
"Let's give it a shot!" Ye Chen nodded, and the light on the Baixian Platform shone again. This time, those who rushed out of the Primordial Star were no longer the Wu Clan warriors or the Fire Crow Jade Rabbit, but the true foundation of the Primordial Star: a flock of phoenixes.
Over the course of thirty years, Ye Chen accumulated millions of fire crows and also recruited a large number of phoenixes, including the Azure Luan, Fire Phoenix, Bifang, Golden Crow, Chongming Bird, and Xuan Bird... He even recruited a real phoenix, whose innate fourth-order strength was no less than that of the Golden Crow on the Sun Star, making it terrifyingly powerful.
This flock of phoenixes is the strongest fighting force in Ye Chen's territory. Even Fengdu City, with its millions of ghosts and monsters, cannot match them. After all, this is a race with all members at a high level. Any phoenix can be taken out and has at least the strength of the fifth level. Some of the earlier recruits have even touched the threshold of the sixth level.
This is due to the excessively long growth cycle of high-level creatures; otherwise, with the blessing of the lord's nest, these phoenixes would probably have been able to break through to the seventh rank and ascend to godhood directly.
After the fourth tier, the power gap between each tier is enormous. Very few creatures can fight across tiers like the primordial creatures. Often, a single fifth-tier creature can easily defeat hundreds or thousands of fourth-tier creatures, and a sixth-tier creature can ignore the attacks of fourth-tier creatures and fight indefinitely.
Of course, this is only in theory. It might work against ordinary lords and their families, but against dark creatures, a prolonged battle would require considering the erosion of consciousness by dark energy. Even gods cannot fight in the dark for long.
"Tsk, these birds and moon goddesses are quite a sight to behold. Why don't I have any such beautiful familiars born in my territory?" The fat man couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the phoenix that streaked across the sky with several beautiful streaks of light. Such a beautiful and powerful familiar was undoubtedly what every lord wanted.
"Maybe you're ugly?" Ye Chen said bluntly.
Fatty: "..."
The phoenixes were incredibly fast. Before the fat man's goblins even arrived at the battlefield, the phoenixes had already overtaken the goblin ranks, passed by the many witch warriors, and plunged into the darkness.
In an instant, flames blazed across the sky, and vast swathes of fire defied science as they ignited in the starry heavens. Or perhaps it was a melee like that of the Chongming Bird and the Ice Phoenix, or other types of magic. Yet, a mere hundred or so Xuan Birds managed to tear a gap in front of the Wu Clan and plunge into the darkness.
"Tsk, your bird family is really powerful!" the fat man couldn't help but exclaim.
At this moment, his goblins finally arrived late. Before the witch clan could even react, endless cannon fire bombarded the opening torn open by the phoenixes.
"Boom~~~" The violent roar rang out again, and the dark creatures that had just poured in through the opening were once again subjected to a baptism of fire, and large areas of vacuum appeared in the starry sky.
The Witch Clan also had many fourth-tier warriors, but compared to the bombardment from the Primordial Armor, they were simply no match. Many of the Witch Clan warriors who had lost their enemies were staring blankly at the goblins wearing the Primordial Armor, unable to help but click their tongues in amazement. This was too terrifying! Weren't they afraid of accidentally hurting their own people?
But the goblins ignored them and followed closely behind the phoenixes, rushing out through the gap that had been blasted open.
"Holy crap! Witch Clan members, charge with me!" Zhu Rong, caught off guard, was the first to react, leading a group of powerful Witch Clan warriors as they charged out. The other members of various Witch Clan tribes followed closely behind, as if afraid that their enemies would be robbed again. Anyone who didn't know better would think that there was some valuable stuff being given away ahead, and that if they were late, it would be gone!
Numerous witch warriors rushed forward, and the stalemate finally began to slowly advance into the star field. Ye Chen clearly sensed that these dark creatures were all stunned.
Faced with the fearless and relentless warriors of the Witch Clan, even the dark creatures couldn't help but wonder, "Do I outnumber them or do you outnumber them?"
"These idiots!" Ye Chen couldn't help but facepalm. Heaven knows his original plan was to advance slowly, with the Phoenix and Goblin army tearing open the gaps in front, and the Witch Clan leading the Fire Crows and Jade Rabbits to advance slowly from behind. Who knew that these stubborn fools would actually make themselves the vanguard? Leading the entire team to quickly penetrate deeper into the star field.
Ye Chen was at a loss about this. He couldn't just leave these witches alone and leave the territory standing still, could he?
Unfortunately, after calling out several times, these idiots only paused slightly, and really slowed down "slightly," which made Ye Chen so angry that he almost cursed.
