Silence had become the theme of the battlefield.
This kind of situation usually only occurs at a certain moment before a major battle, with both sides poised to unleash their power, waiting for the decisive moment.
However, this unexpected silence after a prolonged fight was too unusual and eerie.
The nearly two hundred attackers were somewhat dazed; they couldn't comprehend why a victory that should have been a crushing one had suddenly turned into such a predicament. They didn't understand why they were on the brink of failure.
"Not yet defeated!"
This statement echoed simultaneously in several places.
On many light barriers of the Seven Survivor Fortresses, many members of the races involved in the attack made this judgment.
Indeed, the previous thirteen to fourteen hundred attackers had been reduced to less than two hundred. It seemed like they should have been defeated, but in fact, even with so few warriors left, they still held an overwhelming numerical advantage against the defenders.
Among those who spoke this line were some attackers on-site. They did not deny that they had been frightened by Ye Zhongming's skills earlier, but now that the skills had ended, and the source of their fear was gone, why couldn’t they continue to attack?
The state of their opponents was clearly very poor.
After the recent massacre, it seemed the situation had clarified; it looked like the defenders were on the verge of victory. However, the reality was that Pao Bai and others were all injured, including Isabella from Musk Ke Star. After all, in that chaotic moment, no one cared about offending major clans; survival was the top priority.
In the chaos, the newcomers on the defending side had mostly been taken out; those who hadn’t died were heavily injured and unable to move.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the core part of the formation had been breached twice, and the silk sea light array had been completely destroyed. The light threads that could have empowered the defenders had vanished.
Among the remaining matured warriors, two had also lost their combat effectiveness. They were members of the Su Clan who had been too focused on ensuring the safety of their own. They were ambushed, and even after summoning a water chain and launching a sacred talisman attack, they failed to turn the tide.
Thus, on the defending side, only Pao Bai, Isabella from Musk Ke Star, Jie Su and his two clan members, as well as the remaining member of the Su Clan could still fight.
As for He and Ye Zhongming, everyone could see their condition; they were clearly unable to continue fighting.
Two hundred against eight, it was hard to see how they could lose.
The Tarros Red Dwarf was indeed the race with the best equipment. Even when faced with Ye Zhongming's terrifying attacks, they managed to survive, with only one person suffering a broken leg and being sent to the back in a fearsome war chariot.
The other two looked at Ye Zhongming with anger in their eyes.
Unlike the Su Clan, the Tarros Red Dwarfs had a distasteful 'literary' aura about the Su Clan members. The Su Clan's defensive formations only used whatever broken tools they had for other races, and they first checked relationships before looking at prices.
But they were different; they only cared about the price. Apart from their clan's highest technological creations and unique items, almost anything could be sold, as long as the buyer had the money.
This approach, one focusing on human relationships and the other purely on money, created a stark contrast that hindered harmony between them.
Otherwise, the Tarros Red Dwarfs would have aligned with the Su Clan like other races that didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the All Races of the Universe.
Now, seeing the Su Clan aiding their 'traitors,' they decided to take out Jie Su first and then deal with Ye Zhongming.
The leader of the Tarros Red Dwarf was impulsive; he hated Ye Zhongming immensely. Seeing Ye Zhongming in a weakened state, he shouted and charged forward, reigniting the battle.
