Yang Kai didn’t reply and instead a deep furrow appeared on his brow.
[The Old Ancestor clearly said that it’s impossible for the Royal Lord to recover, but then again, the Feudal Lord said that he had sensed the aura of the Royal Lord’s attack three days ago. What’s going on here?]
Yang Kai waspletely confused.
Everything remained calm and peaceful over the next few days. No ck Ink nsman visited the four ck Ink Nests upied by the three Squads, and they remain safe and sound, unexposed.
Yang Kai had entered and exited the ck Ink Nest Space several times. Now, he could be considered a familiar face there and was able to chat with many of the Feudal Lords freely, but despite his best efforts, he was unable to obtain any useful information.
The Feudal Lord who said that he had felt the Royal Lord’s aura had not entered this ck Ink Nest Space since that day, so Yang Kai was unable to find him to ask about the situation further.
All this while, Yang Kai frequently contacted Great Evolution Pass to track their progress.
ording to Great Evolution Pass’ original schedule, they should have arrived at the ck Ink n’s defence line a few days ago, but as Yang Kai had taken out ck Ink n’s eyes and ears by upying four ck Ink Nests, Great Evolution Pass could now sneak through without being detected. To do this, however, the Pass had to change course, which dyed them for several days.
Today, Yang Kai was sitting in the ck Ink Nest and closely monitoring the surroundings after getting a message.
After about the time it takes to boil a cup of tea, he suddenly felt something intruding into his ck Ink Nest’s detection range, and it was something massive!
Great Evolution Pass had arrived!
Yang Kai instantly scurried outside and looked towards the location where the defence line was disturbed, but he failed to see anything. Not even his Divine Sense could find anything.
Only when he activated his Demon Eye of Annihtion that he was able to see through all illusions and finally make out a massive distorted shadow rapidly approaching.
They might have captured the four adjacent ck Ink Nests and created a hole in the ck Ink n’s defence line, but Great Evolution Pass still needed to disguise itself; otherwise, if a random ck Ink nsman was passing by, he could easily spot the giant Great Evolution Pass.
By the looks of it now, Great Evolution Pass must have activated a fairlyrge Illusion Array. With this Illusion Array, Great Evolution Pass waspletely hidden from ordinary means of detection.
Great Evolution Pass was extremely fast, so it quickly passed by Yang Kai’s ck Ink Nest and continued straight towards the Royal City.
At the same time, several figures flew out from Great Evolution Pass silently like ghosts one after another.
Yang Kai clearly saw everything and promptly used his Divine Sense to guide them over.
He had no idea what Great Evolution Pass had nned or why they had sent 500 Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters to him, but obviously, the higher-ups had something in mind.
Xiang Shan personally messaged Yang Kai and informed him that the main mission of these Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters and the four Special Operations Squads was to exterminate as many ck Ink nsmen and Low-Rank ck Ink Nests in the outermost ring!
Right now, Great Evolution Pass had sessfully snuck into the ck Ink n’s defence line and was heading straight for the Royal City, but no matter howx the ck Ink n’s security might be, Great Evolution Pass couldn’t remain hidden until they reached the Royal City.
Great Evolution Pass would definitely be exposed midway.
Nevertheless, it was more than enough already. So long as the ck Ink n didn’t have enough time to prepare, Great Evolution Pass’ surprise attack would have been a sess. The rest of the battle would depend on their respective strength.
Once Great Evolution Pass was exposed, the ck Ink nsmen setting up the defensive perimeter would be recalled to the Royal City. The three Special Operations Squads and the 500 Seventh-Order Masters’ mission was to kill as many ck Ink nsmen as possible and weaken the ck Ink n forces toy the foundation for the uing battle.
These 500 Seventh-Order Masters did not simply represent their own strength, however. All of them were either Squad Leaders or Vice Squad Leaders.
Their respective Squad members and Warships were all stored in their Small Universe.
These 500 people represented more than 200 Squads!
Yang Kai saw many familiar faces among these 500 people, including Qing Kui and Su Ying Xue.
After Xu Ling Gong had advanced to the Eighth Order, Yang Kai hadn’t seen them for over two centuries, but he had never expected for them to also advance to the Seventh Order.
On second thought though, it was not surprising. Whether it was Qing Kui or Su Ying Xue, both had remained in the Sixth Order for a long time and had apanied their Honoured Master Xu Ling Gong on the ck Ink Battlefield for several centuries, so it was normal for them to make progress in their cultivation.
Now, the two of them had formed a Squad, and as they were quite familiar with each other, they could kill their enemies quite efficiently.
Qing Kui reported, “Brother Yang, before we came here, the Army Commander said that you will be in charge of this operation. Our only mission is to kill as many ck Ink nsmen as possible.”
Yang Kai nodded his acknowledgement, “In that case, this Yang has been entrusted with a big mission. This battle is very important, so I hope Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters will give their all in theing days.”
An old Seventh Order assured with a smile, “Don’t worry, this Old Master has been waiting for this day for many years. Even if I die, I will not let the ck Ink n have an easy time.”
Yang Kai quickly shook his head, “Don’t think like that. Currently, we hold a huge advantage. If you can survive through this, that would be best. The ck Ink n has no roots, so their lives are not as precious as ours. Senior Brother, you might not be young, but if you can break through to the Eighth Order, you may be able to live for many more years. Who knows, when you return to the 3,000 Worlds, you may even be able to marry a few beautiful wives and give birth to a few children and enjoy the joys of family life.”
The men in the crowd burst intoughter while Su Ying Xue and the other female Seventh-Order Masters couldn’t help but re sharply at Yang Kai.
The old manughed even louder, “Junior Brother is right, then should this Old Master cherish my life a bit!?”
“But of course!” Yang Kai didn’t waste any more time and mobilized his World Force as he stretched his hand out and created a ball of light before him.
“I don’t know how much everyone knows about the situation, so I’ll give you a brief overview.” He pointed at the light spot and continued, “This is the Royal City!”
As he spoke, he activated his ck Ink Strength as it spread outward from the speck of light, bing thinner the further it went from the speck of light.
“This is the ck Ink n’s current defence line, filled with ck Ink Strength.” As he spoke, several light dots appeared at the outermost perimeter.
Yang Kai nodded his affirmation, “That’s right, these are all ck Ink Nests. The ck Ink n now possesses quite few Territory Lord ck Ink Nests and I estimate that several dozen of them have been relocated to the Royal City. Each Territory Lord ck Ink Nest has a few dozen Feudal Lord ck Ink Nests which were either brought over as well or newly spawned to enhance the defence line, so there are somewhere between 2,000 to 3,000 ck Ink Nests in the periphery of the Royal City.”
Everyone was slightly shaken.
Thousands of Low-Rank ck Ink Nests was quite a huge number.
But it was also normal. If there were fewer, the ck Ink n would not have been able to set up such a massive defence line.
“Currently, the outermost ck Ink Nests are about a month’s journey from the Royal City,” Yang Kai reached out and pointed to one of the specks of light, “This is where we are, and the three closest ck Ink Nests are also under our control.”
His exnation was extremely simple and clear. Even though everyone had just arrived here, they instantly understood the general situation.
“The ck Ink n’s defence line can be seen as a giant sphere, and the Royal City is located in the centre of this sphere. Since the higher-ups want us to take care of the ck Ink nsmen in the outer ring to have an edge in the uing battle, we have to kill as many of these Feudal Lords as we can. The more Feudal Lords we can kill, the more advantage we can gain in the uing war.”
“There are more than 200 Squads here, so starting from these four ck Ink Nests, we will move outward, eliminating all the enemies along the way. As long as we move swiftly, we will be able to eliminate many of the ck Ink nsmen before they know what hit them.”
“ording to our prior investigations, there are basically two or three Feudal Lords guarding each ck Ink Nest. One is responsible for the production of ck Ink Strength to expand the defence line, while the other is responsible for guarding it.”
“So, what I’m proposing is that a team of two Squads is the requirement to swiftly crush a nest and kill the enemies guarding it.”
Each Human Squad had at least two Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters, so if two Squads were to form a team, then four Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters would be moving together, which was the bare minimum to guarantee sess. Of course, some teams would have more Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters and would naturally be stronger.
On top of that, the Humans also had their Warships’ support. As such, it would be a simple matter for two Squads to deal with a single ck Ink Nest.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yang Kai’s expression then became solemn as he added, “A Feudal Lord can also use their ck Ink Nest to increase their strength when in close proximity, so when you engage the ck Ink n here, if possible, start by destroying the ck Ink Nest before targeting the Feudal Lords.”
“In addition… I’m sure all of you have Evil Purging Divine Spears with you. This spear is extremely effective against the ck Ink n, but if you aren’t sure that you can take your opponent out, don’t use it so we avoid revealing its existence. The Evil Purging Divine Spear… must be first used on the Territory Lords.”
“We understand,” the old man acknowledged with a nod.
“If you understand, then there’s no problem. Let’s split up.”
Saying so, Yang Kai quickly began to divide the teams. Right now, they had four ck Ink Nests under their control. With over 200 Squads distributed evenly, each of these four ck Ink Nests would temporarily house 50 Squads.
It was naturally impossible for all of them to move together. Once the war broke out, all these Squads would split up and attack the ck Ink Nests in the periphery of the ck Ink n’s defence line in pairs.
Of course, the ck Ink n wouldn’t be so stupid as to remain in ce and wait to be killed. Once the Royal City transmitted the news of the invasion, the ck Ink n would definitely return to defend it. At that time, it might turn into a pursue-and-kill situation, or even a chaotic battle.
Xiang Shan didn’t expect Yang Kai and the others to be able to exterminate all the ck Ink nsmen at the defence line’s periphery, nor did Yang Kai think they would be able to do so; after all, taking out thousands of ck Ink Nests without being noticed within a few days was simply not realistic.
They could only do their best to reduce the ck Ink n forces.
This could be seen as the vanguard battle of Great Evolution Pass, while the main battle was at the Royal City!
A short whileter, all the Seventh-Order Masters left, leaving only 100 or so people behind on Yang Kai’s side. Qing Kui summoned his Squad’s Warship and told them to rest and recover.
With the Battleship’s protection, no one needed to waste their strength to resist the ck Ink Strength’s invasion.
Yang Kai didn’t remain idle either. He constantly entered and exited the ck Ink Nest Space to scout for information.
Great Evolution Pass had already snuck its way into the defence line, but it would still take it a month to reach the Royal City.
Yang Kai didn’t know how long Great Evolution Pass could remain hidden, but the longer it could, the more advantageous it would be for the Human Race. As long as it could avoid detection for half a month, it would not matter if they were exposed after that.
Three days, five days, ten days…
Yang Kai still had not received any news.
Hundreds of Seventh-Order Masters stood ready inside the four ck Ink Nests.
When half a monthter, there was still no news, Yang Kai let out a long sigh. Great Evolution Pass’ surprise attack had seeded. The ck Ink n had failed to notice even to this point, so even if they discovered Great Evolution Pass in the next breath, it would be toote for them to make proper preparations.
