In many cases, the people of the nation emphasize a good start, believing that a good beginning is half the success, and they aspire for rapid victories. No one wants to set out poorly.
Although Ye Zhongming never cared about such matters, if the delay extended too long, it would likely attract more life attacks. At that point, without formations and without the Armor Pressure Sky Cover, it would be impossible to defend against the Layered Water Desolation with just two hundred thousand people.
If the situation deteriorated, the Su Clan and the Star-Eye Clan would be forced to retreat and conduct another landing operation, which would be incredibly challenging.
Just as if to validate Ye Zhongming's concerns, the previously calm Longhe Shock Plain suddenly erupted with significant agitation, followed by a rumbling sound moments later.
Everyone wasn't foolish and naturally understood that this was a sign of massive life forms rapidly approaching. It wouldn't be long before they surged onto this small path.
“No, we must quickly suppress these monsters, otherwise, the chain reaction would be too dangerous!”
Not only did Ye Zhongming make this judgment, but the Su Clan also assessed the situation and sent another team of ten thousand to assist, while the Star-Eye Clan dispatched three thousand more to help.
Ye Zhongming opened his terminal and monitored the surroundings of the Layered Water Desolation through the surveillance devices on the airborne aircraft. His frown deepened.
Although the Blue Demon Desert and the Silent Rainforest seemed calm now, in many places, the surveillance footage already indicated signs of life gathering. If they attacked simultaneously, the Su Clan would surely struggle to manage other areas, and the situation could become dire.
Choosing the Layered Water Desolation was driven by Ye Zhongming. If it failed, the repercussions for him, the Star-Eye Clan, the Su Clan, and their collaboration would be catastrophic.
He observed the situation again and specifically looked at the Half Abyss Demon Cave, finding that those caves remained quiet. He then made a bold decision!
“What? Forceful landing?”
Lord Yan, who had gone to assist the Alliance of Small Races, and Lord Xing, who was here commanding, were both astonished when they heard Ye Zhongming's words.
Currently, there were over ten thousand various flying life forms attacking their team in the air above the Layered Water Desolation. Though most were concentrated near the Alliance of Small Races, due to their speed, they could attack other areas within seconds.
To avoid aerial attacks, the transport ships had already ascended to a high altitude, trying to evade the attacks from airborne life. However, the moment they descended, they would instantly become prime targets for assault. In this scenario, forcing a landing was too dangerous and had almost no chance of success.
“We can only do it this way!” Ye Zhongming said quickly. “All the materials for setting up formations and positions are on the transport ships. If they can't land, we'll have to engage the monsters head-on. If it were only these attacking monsters, it might be manageable, but over time, it would definitely trigger a chain reaction, leading other prey to attack. After all, we are the invaders, foreign life forms—they will instinctively attack us. At that time, we would only be able to consume and fight back bit by bit, which would lead to substantial losses. We only have two hundred thousand people, while those prey number in the hundreds of millions. Additionally, the Su Clan is not good at combat, and the quality of our warriors in the Alliance of Small Races is not high. We could be stuck in a passive beating situation for days, and in the end, leaving could become a problem.”
Since fighters were getting injured or even sacrificing their lives every moment, Ye Zhongming spoke rapidly. He had to convince Lord Xing to order the Star-Eye Clan's aircraft to land.
Lord Xing did not respond immediately.
