The Dark Serpent People are ultimately a race full of intelligence, and they may even have developed a spark of civilization. It is impossible to simply defeat them.
After a brief period of chaos, the entire snake-man army quickly regained order and began to attack Ye Chen's kin.
Meanwhile, the other lords' clans had also mobilized, their vast armies filling the starry sky. Everywhere one looked, there was battle, with clans being torn apart and dark serpent people being slain. No matter how powerful this dark race was, it was difficult to withstand the combined forces of many lords, since the dark serpent people were not numerically superior at this time.
"You control the four defensive lines and safeguard the territory. Leave the frontal assault to us!" Ye Chen said to the people around him. This was space combat, and the so-called four defensive lines were the top, bottom, left, and right sides, leaving only the front as a breakthrough point.
"Are you sure you can do it? If you can't break through, they have the spatial nodes behind them, and the Dark Serpent Men we'll encounter will be endless!" one of the lords said. They weren't worried that Ye Chen couldn't do it; they were just teasing him. After all, lords don't have to be on the battlefield themselves, and it's bound to be boring to just watch.
"Don't worry! This is a small matter, no problem at all!" Before Ye Chen could speak, the fat man chuckled.
Instantly, countless goblins clad in armor flew into space, flames from jets erupting from behind their armor, as they used this force to rush toward the center of the battlefield.
"This is... the Primordial Armor? I remember now, isn't the Primordial Armor from the Duobao Group?" Someone recognized the armor on the goblin's body.
After a day of rest, everyone learned the identities of Ye Chen and the others. It was just an accident before, but they never expected that they would be guarding the darkness together with the head of Duobao Group. They never expected that they would see one of Duobao Group's flagship products after turning around.
However, the exclamations had barely begun when everyone was once again stunned by the wealth of the Duobao Group. Over a hundred million goblin warriors were flying out of the fat man's territory, all clad in ancient armor? How much money does that cost?
"As expected of Duobao Group! Money talks. I'm already thinking about whether I should tie you two up after this is over. I don't care how much, I feel like I'm going to be rich with a hundred million sets of Primordial Armor!" A female lord said, her eyes full of shock as she looked at Ye Chen and the fat man.
One hundred million sets of Primordial Armor! Can an ordinary lord afford that? Even at the cheapest price on the market, one set would cost millions of merit points, so one hundred million sets would be hundreds of trillions of merit points!
Let alone them, even if an eighth-level chief came, he might not be able to produce so many merit points all at once.
"Huh! This?" The fat man was slightly taken aback. He was killing the Dark Serpent Man just fine, so why did they suddenly want to tie him up?
"What are you thinking? This is all the wealth we have left, and you can't tie us up, not even ten of you!" Ye Chen said helplessly. He knew these people were just joking, but it was hard to guarantee that some of them wouldn't have ulterior motives. Greed is endless, and even lords are no exception. It was still necessary to take precautions.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, everyone's expressions changed somewhat. However, it wasn't because their greed and jealousy had been discovered, but rather because they were shocked by the two men's strength. Ten sixth-tier lords couldn't even bind them? They were truly confident in their abilities, which also made some people with ulterior motives hesitant to act rashly.
"Hahaha! Then I'll have to find ten of myself to try!" The female lord from before paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Although she said that, everyone could tell that she was joking this time.
"Boom!!!" At the same time, the fat goblin finally reached the edge of the battlefield, but did not rush to go deeper. Instead, he opened up his long-range firepower in rows, and countless shells flew towards the dark snakeman, illuminating the entire starry sky with a burst of fire.
"Roar!" Many demonic beasts were startled by the cannon fire and cried out in alarm and anger. Some of the more timid ones even scattered and fled in panic. Fortunately, under the cover of fire, the Dark Serpent Men also suffered heavy losses, and their safety was not in danger for the time being. They had enough time to regroup.
"They really lack training!" Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. These monsters had never seen firearms before, and their wild nature made them terrified of such roaring sounds. Many monsters were hit by the laser cannons in their panicked escape and lost their lives for nothing.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the lords looked at him with resentment, thinking, "This evil capitalism!"
Putting everything else aside, the energy crystals consumed by bombarding these 100 million sets of Primordial Armor alone are not a small amount. If the number of Dark Serpent Men killed is not enough, we may not even be able to recoup our costs.
This wasn't the end. After a brief pause, a new round of bombardment began again. This time, reminded by the witch warriors and Rakshasa, the monsters suppressed their fear and continued to charge into the darkness.
"Truth is always within the range of cannons! Look, the breach on the front has been opened, hasn't it?" Ye Chen said with a smile to the crowd.
Hearing this, everyone was speechless. Money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can make the millstone turn the devil. Money can pave the way, right?
Of course, Ye Chen and Fatty were just putting on a show. If they really wanted to keep using money to pave the way, no one could afford it. But their goal was just a spatial node, and they had enough money for such a short distance.
As the gap in the battle line was opened, the lords' battle lines slowly advanced. The Dark Serpent People, seeing that the situation was hopeless, did not fight to the death, but instead slowly contracted their battle lines, clearing the way ahead.
"It seems they're planning to do what they did before: abandon the entrances and exits of the spatial nodes, harass us from the outside, and wait for their people inside the spatial nodes to rush out so they can launch an attack from both inside and outside!" a lord sighed. They had tried to rush in at the cost of their lives, but this was the result they ultimately faced: attacked from both inside and outside, they had no choice but to break through and retreat, abandoning the node entrances and exits they had finally managed to capture.
“This time it’s different!” Ye Chen said to comfort him. They had also simulated this situation yesterday. As long as they could resist the foreign lord, he could guard the entrance and exit of the space node.
When the time comes, as long as the Wu Clan warriors set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, like a lid covering the spatial node, no matter how many Dark Serpents come, they will be wiped out cleanly.
