At this moment, even the two Lords of the Star-Eye Clan could no longer sit still.
They, along with everyone else in the tent, rushed to the command center, the place where they received messages from the members.
Yes, during external combat operations, personal communication with soldiers in battle is not allowed unless under extremely special circumstances and with authorization from all senior leaders. This rule helps prevent many situations.
Over the years of fighting, all races of the universe, regardless of size, have formed nearly uniform rules.
Upon arriving at the command room, they saw the green dot representing the position of the First Army on the light barrier map had indeed gathered almost completely.
Since this was everyone's first time on this planet, the system could not achieve global positioning, as there were no satellites to help.
It wasn't that the All Races of the Universe couldn't do this; rather, it was to train the soldiers. Of course, the main reason was for 'fairness.' The larger races publicly claimed it was to train soldiers to deal with the invasion of the slave races, but in reality, it was a means for them to control the smaller races and reap the rewards.
For them, the absence of satellites wasn't a significant issue. For the smaller races, however, it was crucial for early warnings, targeted hunting, and efficient defense, among other things.
Currently, the systems being used in Dark Strip City were a set of locally established systems within the camp, determining everyone's position through the transmission and reception of signal towers. However, this was affected by terrain and weather, resulting in limited detection range and stability.
Fortunately, the weather was clear today, and the First Army was not too far from the base, so their position was displayed relatively clearly.
"Where is this?"
Leona stared for a long time but couldn't figure out where the First Army had gathered.
"It should be the narrow passage between two nameless hills," a person responsible for communication said uncertainly. That place was not a landmark and had no name, not even the two relatively large hills nearby.
"Are those the subordinates of the 'twin-tailed kuroiwa'?" Lord Xing pointed to a location that was only a few kilometers away from the current gathering place of the First Army.
"Yes, their numbers have now exceeded eighty thousand." The person continued to respond.
"The First Army's target isn't them, right?" Lord Yan asked with concern.
Although he felt it was unlikely, Commander Cheng Liujin was a very steady person. However, it couldn't be guaranteed that he wouldn't have any ulterior motives; after all, the First Army hadn't achieved much in the past three days. To prevent other races from underestimating the Star-Eye Clan, Commander Huang Jin might indeed take a risk.
"Perhaps this is the case; look, we are not far from that group of 'ring city wolves.' These ring city wolves should be easier to deal with, right? Their numbers are smaller, only a little over fifty thousand."
"Only..." When Dodo said these two words, the eyes of the two Lords of the Star-Eye Clan twitched.
The First Army only had thirty thousand members!
Were ring city wolves easy to deal with? Those guys were fast, had sharp teeth, strong claws, excellent teamwork skills, and were extremely bloodthirsty, with several possessing formidable abilities.
If given a choice, the Star-Eye Clan would prefer to face the over eighty thousand 'mixed army' rather than the cohesive entity of the ring city wolves.
At this time, the First Army was indeed not far from the gathering place of the ring city wolves, about seven to eight kilometers away. And surrounding them, apart from these two mutated life groups, there were no other populations exceeding two digits.
If the First Army's target wasn't them, then what was the gathering for... were they planning to retreat?
Everyone thought of the location of the Second Army and found that the markers representing the Second Army were leisurely making their way back to the base.
