With Ye Chen's command, many of their kin rose from the Baixiantai and rushed into the vast universe.
Ye Chen stood on the Baixiantai platform, quietly looking up. The figure of Zhulong floated behind him, his confident face showing no sign of worry, as if he had expected this scene.
Indeed, this was the case. Back when Jian Mengyi introduced the information about the Starry Sky Beast, Ye Chen had already guessed that it was definitely not the ruler of this dark origin.
The Starry Sky Beast has a relatively simple mind. Even if it becomes a sixth or seventh-order creature, it cannot possess intelligence comparable to humans, let alone rule the entire Dark Origin. Therefore, there must be other dark creatures behind it, and it is merely being pushed out to deceive others, or perhaps to deplete Ye Chen's power.
The one who rules over these dark creatures must be a highly intelligent dark god. From the moment the source of darkness was exposed, it guessed that there must be a large number of high-level creatures waiting for it to come out and kill it.
Therefore, it first brought out the Starry Sky Beast, relying on its enormous size and tenacious vitality to entangle with the high-level creatures outside.
Then gradually reduce the number of dark creatures sent out each day, creating the illusion that the dark creatures inside have indeed been evacuated.
When the lords outside thought their commander had been killed and began to lower their guard, waiting for the final purification of the dark source, they suddenly unleashed a large number of dark creatures, which impacted the surrounding lords in one fell swoop, thus securing a solid position for their side.
"This? So smart?" After hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Jian Mengyi's face was filled with disbelief. Although she had a wealth of knowledge, this kind of thing used in actual combat was still beyond her comprehension.
"Is that smart? It's just normal tactical application, and there might even be several variations later. Didn't you learn that in your military theory class?" Ye Chen shrugged, with an expression of matter-of-fact, which made Jian Mengyi grit her teeth.
"So you were prepared all along? You knew this would happen? All those clansmen who just died..." Jian Mengyi said through gritted teeth, still feeling a pang of pity as she thought of the clansmen who had perished in the attack.
"All things in the world are subject to survival of the fittest, and this is war. How can there be no sacrifice in war?" Ye Chen said in a solemn tone.
War inevitably involves sacrifice. If you are strong enough and lucky enough, you will have a chance to survive. But if you have neither strength nor luck, you will eventually fall on the battlefield, it's just a matter of time.
Moreover, compared to other lords, the situation on the Primordial Star is much better. At least after death, one's soul can return to Fengdu and have the opportunity to be reincarnated in the future. Perhaps one can be reincarnated as another race, instead of completely disappearing into the world like other creatures.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Jian Mengyi fell silent and did not respond. Although Ye Chen's words were not pleasant to hear, they were an undeniable fact in the Star Wars. Achieving the greatest victory with the least cost was a compulsory course that every lord had to learn.
As the two were talking, a massive number of Familia had already engaged in battle with the dark creatures in the starry sky. Nearly ten million Familia rushed out, and although they were still outnumbered, their overall strength was in no way inferior.
The entire starry sky instantly turned into a meat grinder once again. Even sixth-tier units like Ye Xi and Tai Shan had to be on high alert, otherwise the overwhelming low-tier attacks would threaten their lives.
As for the Candle Dragon, it remained hidden on the Primordial Star, and even after Ye Chen transformed back into a stone sculpture, not a single trace of energy fluctuation leaked out.
Ye Chen waited, waiting to see if even more powerful dark creatures would rush out. Even now, he remained unmoved in the face of a group of fifth- or even sixth-order dark creatures. He left the affairs of mortals to mortals. Even if he was ultimately defeated, he would simply retreat with his remaining troops. This was a war against darkness, and everyone, including himself, had to be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time.
Fortunately, Ye Xi and his group were quite powerful, and the mighty Primordial Clan was virtually invincible in this war.
Tens of thousands of Rakshasa pierced the enemy army like sharp knives, quickly opening a gap; powerful witch warriors swarmed forward, relentlessly slaying the dark creatures; while fire crows followed on both sides, protecting the enemy and spewing flames to burn everything around them...
As for the experts like Ye Xi who had reached the sixth rank or above, they did not fight alongside the army. Instead, they protected the surrounding area. Whenever a sixth-rank dark creature appeared, one of them would rush forward to stop it and quickly kill it.
The entire army seemed to have practiced countless times, their coordination and teamwork were impeccable, and everyone dealt with their opponents methodically, devouring the army of dark creatures at an extremely fast pace.
On the other hand, Jian Mengyi's angel army was not so easy. Facing the powerful dark legion, the angels were not strong enough to crush their peers. Although they could gain some advantages by relying on attribute restraint, they could not charge like the primordial army.
Under Michael's leadership, they could only advance slowly and steadily. Although they were not as unrestrained and carefree as Ye Chen's clan, they were much more stable.
"Should we call Fatty and the others back? If the fighting continues like this, the clans might not be able to hold out for long!" The battle had lasted for almost an hour, and Jian Mengyi asked Ye Chen with a hint of worry.
Although the overall situation seemed to be on their side, dark creatures continued to emerge from the source of darkness. This intense battle had been going on for almost an hour. Even the strongest body couldn't last much longer.
However, Ye Chen shook his head. "No rush. It's only been less than an hour, and the creatures in the Dark Origin are not endless. With so many dark creatures coming out at once, there will definitely be a short gap, giving them time to rest!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Mengyi opened her mouth but said nothing more. She had absolute trust in Ye Chen. Since he had said so, he must already have a plan in mind. All she needed to do was cooperate with him.
Sure enough, this battle lasted for less than half an hour, and the number of dark creatures emerging from the Dark Origin had decreased significantly. Seeing this, Jian Mengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
