For the first time, Ye Chen truly realized that there were so many low-level lords behind them, including a large number of new lords.
The official forces of the Blue Star plane have never given up on recruiting and training newcomers. After a short period of development, they are sent to various war planes for further training, striving to grow up quickly.
This applies not only to the official forces, but to all major powers. Regardless of size, having the power to fight against darkness is of utmost importance. How to grow rapidly is a compulsory course for all lords and awakened individuals. No one can be protected forever and live in peace in the rear. This is something that lords, their families, and even awakened individuals on the front lines have paid for with their lives.
"Everyone in this passage, obey unified orders. Those who disobey orders, desert in the face of battle, or cause trouble... according to the laws of the Blue Star Lords, I have the right to kill them!" Ye Chen shouted sternly as the projection appeared, looking at the chaotic crowd in the starry sky.
A large number of low-ranking lords flew haphazardly through the starry sky, and various clans flew out of their territories and fought each other indiscriminately in the starry sky. Apart from a few familiar lords who could form groups, the rest fought almost individually, and both their battle losses and their battle results were extremely dismal.
Ye Chen naturally couldn't let this situation continue. Before the dark god even appeared, these dark creatures alone were enough to wipe out this group of low-level lords.
As for the so-called Blue Star Lord Laws, these are a set of lord laws established by the Blue Star plane. Although they don't have much binding force outside, within Blue Star, especially in an environment like that of official forces, the Blue Star Lord Laws are the authority, and no one dares to challenge them.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, everyone's fighting immediately slowed down, and they all moved towards the center to avoid being wiped out.
If any of them truly affect the course of the battle, Ye Chen does indeed have the right to execute them.
Although lords have extremely high authority and generally do not die for their mistakes, there is one exception: if a lord's actions affect the fight against darkness, then a high-ranking lord has the right to kill a low-ranking lord without any punishment.
"Here, here! All first and second-tier lords, come over here and connect your territories so that your clans can unite for battle!" the fat man shouted from the other side.
Low-ranking lords have limited individual combat capabilities, especially new lords who have only recently arrived in the Maya Plane and don't even have many followers.
Faced with an endless array of dark creatures, without uniting, they risk being swallowed up in an instant without leaving a trace. Even seasoned lords with some ambition need to be cautious.
However, compared to these new lords, they have much more experience and know how to deal with such situations.
Moreover, veteran lords may not be high-ranking, but they all have familiar teams and their own means of survival. Compared to newcomers, they are much more planned in their actions.
Fortunately, with Wang Xinghe as a new administrator, Hua Xiyu didn't send any other new administrators over the past few years. Almost all the newcomers obeyed his orders. Over time, he and Fatty also built up considerable prestige in the eyes of the newcomers. With them leading the way, the newcomers gradually unified after a brief period of panic.
After many low-ranking lords found their positions and opponents, the operation to block the spatial passage officially began. A large number of dark creatures rushed out of the spatial passage. Wang Xinghe led a group of veteran lords to meet them first and devoured the dark creatures.
"It doesn't seem that difficult. Isn't it a bit of an overreaction to gather so many of us here?" A new lord asked in confusion, and his companions agreed.
"That's right! Only a few dark creatures have come out. Although there seem to be quite a few, they are still fewer than the retinues of those old lords. How could we possibly get any?"
"Who knows? Could there be more later? But the number already looks quite large. How much more could there be? It can't possibly be more than the hundreds of millions of families that the old lords have combined, can it?"
"Could it be a powerful dark creature behind it?"
"Do you think sheer numbers are useful at that level? Your territory wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth!"
"Hiss, could it be that they're using us as cannon fodder while they wait for rescue?"
Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat possible!
"Damn! This is too much! Should we just run away?"
"Do you want to die?! Didn't you hear what I just said? Running away now is desertion, right? Execution on the spot!"
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, are you really going to be afraid of him?"
"..."
A group of new lords discussed amongst themselves, and later they didn't even try to hide it from others, as if they were really sure that they were going to be used as cannon fodder and that they had to let everyone know about the commander's bad deeds so that they could speak out for themselves.
Over the years, with the great victories on the front lines and peace in the rear, the newcomers have not experienced the truly terrifying interdimensional wars, nor have they felt the despair of being overwhelmed. They feel that it is no different from what they experienced in the trial space, and even the new lords who have stayed here for several years feel the same way.
Only those lords who came in earlier years, especially those who experienced the Dark Gods' uprising, can truly feel the despair of war.
"Use you as cannon fodder? Do you even deserve it? You really think you're something special?" As the voices of the new lords grew louder, they were heard by many veteran lords around them. When they heard what the lords were arguing about, some of them couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you saying? I am a Heavenly Pride Lord! I am destined to become a Great Lord, not to waste my time here with you!" Hearing the other party's mockery, some Heavenly Pride Lords immediately spoke up angrily. It was bad enough to be cannon fodder here, but to be ridiculed for not being qualified to be cannon fodder?
"Lord of the Prodigies? Look! See those red dragons? My clan! Ninety percent of them died in the last Dark Riot! Now only a hundred or so are still adults, and the rest were born in the last few years!" The veteran lord pointed and saw a group of red dragons fighting behind many of his clans in the starry sky. They were all fifth or even sixth tier red dragons, but they could only follow behind a group of low-tier races to fight against a large number of dark creatures.
"Little guy, don't forget that this is a plane ruled by official forces. Aren't we all high-level lords or prodigy lords? But no matter how much potential you have, it's still just potential. If you don't want to die, talk less, listen more, observe more, and learn more. Otherwise, the dark creatures won't care whether you're a future prodigy or not!"
