CHAPTER TEXT:
In the Radiant Tang Clan, whenever an unexpected event occurs, the warriors will respond immediately, especially today when the leaders of the Star-Eye Clan gathered in the conference room to discuss matters. Any slight disturbance should have prompted an immediate response.
However, the windows and walls in that area were shattered, yet no one rushed over.
It wasn't that the Radiant Tang warriors did not want to; it was that they could not.
Since the moment a spear descended from the sky and took the life of the manor's chief steward, countless deadly attacks had rained down from above them.
There were spears, mechanical axes, energy projectiles, electric nets... everything imaginable. All the defensive weapons on the city walls were being unleashed upon them.
The death of the steward was just the beginning of the attacks, not the main focus; he wasn't worthy of that. The main target of these assaults were the forty thousand elite warriors of the Radiant Tang Clan, who were all set to participate in the planet hunting grounds.
How many people were there in the entire Dark Strip City? How many in the Radiant Tang Clan? And among the clan’s population, what proportion were warriors?
Therefore, these forty thousand represented almost all the current strength of the Radiant Tang Clan, minus a small number of warriors left behind for defense.
They were supposed to be heading to the planet hunting grounds to make a fortune.
Yet, just as their dreams were beginning, they were overwhelmed by an avalanche of attacks.
They did not understand why the defensive weapons on the city wall were targeting them. Furthermore, as there were no internal wars among the All Races of the Universe at present, and with peace reigning for a long time, many cities lacked walls. Even if they had walls, like Dark Strip City, most were merely remnants from when the city was built, often used for sightseeing or as vantage points to fulfill certain urban needs, like broadcasting through light barriers or setting up virtual battlefield transfer points.
Even if there were defensive weapons, they were outdated and poorly maintained. How could such powerful firepower suddenly appear?
They were unaware of the preparations the Star-Eye Clan had made for today.
Since Ye Zhongming and the higher-ups of the Star-Eye Clan decided to exterminate the Radiant Tang Clan, the entire race mobilized at full force.
First was the mobilization.
This was the easiest part; the Star-Eye Clan and the Radiant Tang Clan were sworn enemies. Coupled with the Radiant Tang’s underhanded tactics during the trial of the brave, the Star-Eye Clan was ignited with emotions the moment they heard about waging a genocide war against the Radiant Tang Clan.
They had been oppressed for too long and witnessed their race's progress in recent days. They needed a way to see how far they had advanced!
Undoubtedly, taking action against the Radiant Tang Clan was an excellent test opportunity.
The blood valor possessed by a small race's people and warriors, who had long existed on the edge of genocide, was often beyond the reach of those born in comfort.
Next came the planning.
Although the Radiant Tang Clan had suffered setbacks in the grain transport incident and the trial of the brave, with four to five thousand warriors killed, they were still a medium-sized race with much stronger overall strength than the Star-Eye Clan.
To put it simply, the Star-Eye Clan had just over twenty thousand warriors, while the Radiant Tang Clan previously had close to sixty thousand, even considering the losses, they still had over fifty thousand, far surpassing the Star-Eye Clan.
In such a disparity of strength, the importance of planning became evident.
This aspect was naturally not a concern for Ye Zhongming. Although the Star-Eye Clan was small, they had once been glorious and had been involved in various wars for many years, thus their combat departments were very mature and efficient. After understanding all the support their clan and Ye Zhongming could provide, a combat plan quickly took shape.
