Chapter 629 - 623: Scheming
Whoosh!
The space tore open, and Lin You appeared on the other end of the Demon Space.
Following the instructions and the token in his hand, he quickly arrived at a secluded valley near a Space Gate and located the infiltration team dispatched by the Anti-Alliance Camp.
There were surprisingly thousands of people.
And they were all Tier Eleven Lords from various realms!
"Everyone."
At this moment, ten imposing figures stepped forward, each holding a golden token aloft.
"We are the main leaders of this mission, responsible for the infiltration arrangements."
Before departure, the Great Emperors had stated that those holding golden tokens were the leaders of this operation, and they were all top-tier lords with eight Divine Formats.
For someone like Lin You who came from a small realm, they generally held silver tokens for identity verification.
Seeing the leaders appear, the lords from various realms all focused intently.
"You must already know that this infiltration mission is extremely risky."
"We are not seeking anything else, nor do we need to get entangled in battle; the goal is to destroy the Defensive Array."
"So we hope everyone acts with caution, without easy exposure, to avoid disaster."
"If there are no objections, let’s begin the operation."
After speaking, the ten leaders moved into the ranks, waiting for the signal from the Great Emperors.
Meanwhile.
In the deepest part of the Demon Space.
A thunderous roar echoed, and the final Chaos Primordial Beast finally appeared, its terrifying aura shaking the entire space violently.
If Lin You guessed correctly, chaos should have already erupted over there, with a scramble for the last designated Divine Format.
He could only hope they would hold the Tier Eleven Lords of the Realm Alliance for a while longer.
"Here they come!"
Suddenly, a shout rang out among the team.
Outside the valley, the Space Gate linking to the Realm Alliance’s stronghold flashed with golden light, exploding into countless light spots within the gate.
At the same time, a booming yell like thunder could be heard.
"How dare you trespass on our territory, stop them!"
Then came a deafening explosion as the Emperors from both sides clashed.
With the opposing Emperors obstructing them, their side’s Emperors would likely be stopped immediately if they tried to destroy the Defensive Array, so it was up to them.
"Move out!"
At the command of the ten leaders, they promptly removed the barrier outside the valley and led the team in an instant teleportation towards the Space Gate.
Following the team, Lin You quickly passed through the Space Gate, successfully entering the stronghold of the Realm Alliance, appearing on a black land covered with Hellfire.
At the far end of the black land, there stood the Sky-reaching Barrier, a Defensive Array constructed with the continent as its base, which separated the two major forces.
"Charge!"
The leaders at the forefront took out pre-prepared scrolls from the space, tearing them open to hide their forms and auras.
However, such large-scale Concealment Scrolls could only last for a limited time.
The group hesitated not, once their target was clear, they transformed into streaks of light rushing towards the barrier.
During the flight, they could see many Realm Alliance Lords below engaged in battle with the Monster Tide, spanning all levels.
But they did not waste time on these individuals, heading straight for the Defensive Array without looking back.
They knew well that moving together in such large numbers could never achieve complete stealth.
Moreover, the Realm Alliance was surely vigilant against their infiltration, likely having already stationed a squad of high-tier lords at the Space Gate closest to the Defensive Array.
That’s why they chose a more distant Space Gate for their entry point this time.
Fortunately, their gamble paid off.
The main forces of the Realm Alliance were not stationed outside this Space Gate.
Their next move was to destroy the Defensive Array before the Realm Alliance arrived, enabling their escape.
"Boom——"
Thunderous explosions continuously erupted in the sky.
Even from afar, one could see the collapsing void; clearly, the Emperor’s battle had reached its peak.
"Faster!"
The leaders called out softly, once again traversing space via instant teleportation.
Finally, twenty minutes later, after crossing the black land, they arrived beneath the Defensive Array just as the Concealment Scroll’s effects wore off.
However.
Before they could take action.
A large shadow appeared in the distant sky, rapidly approaching them.
"Not good! They’re coming, attack quickly!"
The speed at which the Realm Alliance forces arrived was far faster than expected, indicating they were prepared for this.
Moreover, their numbers swelled to tens of thousands, nearly double that of the infiltrating group!
Without further hesitation, they immediately summoned their army of species, launching a fierce attack on the Defensive Array.
In a flash, a flurry of attacks erupted, crashing wildly against the Defensive Array, creating visible ripples and rapidly dimming its glow.
"There’s hope!"
The lords, faces lit with joy, attacked more vigorously.
However, at this moment, the Realm Alliance forces finally noticed them, a chorus of shocked and furious shouts followed.
"It’s the Anti-Alliance people!"
"How audacious, to dare infiltrate our territory!"
"Go, leave none alive!"
In an instant, a massive swarm of species appeared, swiftly encircling them.
Ferocious attacks like a tidal wave nearly filled the entire sky, enveloping them completely.
"Come, hold them off with me! The rest, continue the attack!"
Without a word, a leading elder charged with half the lords to meet the opponents, Lin You among them.
Because he knew this was a battle against time.
As long as they gained enough time, they could successfully break the defensive array and complete the infiltration mission.
"Go, stop them."
At the command, the Ten Great Royal Families led ten teams of Legendary Species and fiercely clashed with the opposing army of troops.
Meanwhile, Barbaric Roar was unleashed, and a large swath of red light enveloped the entire Plant Army.
Both sides engaged in a frenzied battle, clashing fiercely around the edge of the defensive array.
"Damn, how can these Plant Species be so strong?"
Very soon, the Realm Alliance noticed the power of Lin You’s troops.
Especially several Royal Families, who were invincible, slaughtering everywhere in their troop formations.
This immediately drew the attention of many Lords, who turned their tactics, launching attacks on Lin You’s Plant Army.
Gradually, the previously overwhelming Royal Families and Legendary Species began to retreat, showing multiple wounds.
Lin You frowned slightly, the number of opposing Lords was too many, nearly double that of their own.
Moreover, several Lords were targeting him, launching attacks simultaneously, causing stress even though his Healing Legion was fiercely healing behind him.
The Lords elsewhere were also suffering heavy casualties, slowly revealing signs of defeat.
Breaking through the defense was merely a matter of time.
"Is it not ready yet?"
The leading elder looked back at the team attacking the array.
Yet he found.
In the distance, another team of Realm Alliance Lords arrived, circumventing to their rear, sealing their retreat.
"Damn it!"
The elder’s expression darkened, immediately contracting the battle circle, and the troops gradually retreated.
Soon, their troops, numbering in the thousands, were surrounded by a troop army double their size, launching fierce attacks from outside the encirclement.
Troops fell in swathes, forcing them into a difficult defensive stance, unable to spare any effort to destroy the array.
Even Lin You’s Legendary Species with various damage-reducing auras also fell one by one under the ferocious troop siege.
Then, several screams were heard.
Several weaker Lords were caught off guard when the enemy seized an opportunity to hit their vital points, critically wounding them.
Fortunately, their companions reacted quickly, pulling them to safety, preventing them from being slaughtered.
Seeing the chaotic scene, with more Lords and troops falling.
The leading elder finally gritted his teeth.
"Retreat!"
With a loud shout, everyone suddenly unleashed their strongest methods, breaking through the weakest point of the encirclement and fleeing towards the direction of the Space Gate.
"Trying to escape? Stop them!"
The Realm Alliance certainly wouldn’t let them escape easily, immediately roaring and rushing after them, causing the infiltration team of the Anti-Alliance to fall apart.
Thus, battling while fleeing continuously.
More than ten minutes later, they were cornered again, cutting them off from the path to the Space Gate, plunging into an abyss.
The Lords struggled with increasingly severe injuries.
Several were even heavily injured, forcing them to withdraw to the back, further exacerbating their troubles.
Lin You’s expression was solemn; given the current situation, their task seemed doomed to failure.
Thankfully, they were not far from the Space Gate.
With life-saving skills fully activated, he should manage to escape successfully.
"Hahaha, you won’t escape!"
"Dare to come to our territory, you are doomed!"
"Hand over the Divine Format obediently, and we might leave your corpses intact!"
The Realm Alliance roared with laughter, their faces full of excitement.
Unexpectedly, fortune smiled upon them, delivering so many Divine Formats to their doorstep; even if they couldn’t capture them all, just capturing half would greatly boost their power.
Just the thought made them tremble with excitement.
"Boom!!"
Unexpectedly, a loud noise erupted.
The previously arrogant expressions of the Realm Alliance instantly froze on their faces.
Turning around, they found that another Lord’s team had somehow appeared by the defense array, opening a huge gap, completely destroying the foundation beneath.
The gap seemed like a mocking smile, ridiculing their arrogance.
Meanwhile, the Lords on Lin You’s side were extremely shocked, staring at the suddenly appearing team.
It was the very team they had thought was sent to the Demon Space center to encircle the Realm Alliance!
What a brilliant feint.
What a clever tactic to lure the snake out of its hole.
At this moment.
They all understood.
The supposed infiltration operation was merely a cover.
The true strategy was actually an intentional ploy to draw the attention of the Realm Alliance!
No wonder the Saint Radiance Emperor showed no sign of worry when assigning him this mission, even guiding him into such a dangerous place.
He most likely foresaw this outcome long ago.
The Great Emperors, such profound calculations!
Everyone was deceived by them!
"Haha, Mo Luo, let’s play here for today; we’re retreating!"
Before Lin You and the others could react, Dragon Emperor’s laughter suddenly echoed in the sky.
The next moment.
An invisible force enveloped them, teleporting them through space, away from their original location.
Regaining their senses, they found themselves in the war camp thousands of miles away, glancing around at bewildered faces.
