Chapitre 117: W
MARTIAL PEAK 5247
Not daring to continue chasing, the Black Ink Clan couldn't be certain if the Human Race had any hidden cards up their sleeves. If the Human Race took advantage of the absence of their army to launch a sneak attack on the Black Ink Nest, everything would be over.
Even though their heart was filled with unwillingness, the Territory Lords still issued a command to stop the pursuit, their face twisting as they watched the Human Race's fleet gradually disappear into the distance.
It was extremely rare for such a large-scale war between two races to end so quickly.
The reason why this can be done is mainly due to the Human Race arrangement.
Xiang Shan's position was where the massive fleet was pointing. The Guard-level Battleship he was guarding led the retreat, and all the Battleships in the fleet followed closely behind.
This battle didn't require much skill, only relying on the leadership of the Human Race, the tens of thousands of soldiers working together, and some luck.
From the moment the two armies clashed and the Human Race's army retreated ten million kilometers from the King City, it had only taken half an hour.
However, in just half an hour, the casualties the Human Race army had caused to the Black Ink Clan were almost the same as the previous twenty years of harassment.
If the damage brought about by the Old Ancestor were to be added to the damage the Black Ink Clan had suffered, it would definitely be far greater.
After all, three of the Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples had died at the hand of the Old Ancestor, and many more injured.
The Black Ink Clan had suffered heavy casualties, but how could the Human Race not suffer heavy casualties?
Even though the entire fleet, under Xiang Shan's leadership, had transformed into a giant dragon and galloped through the battlefield, the Black Ink Clan's attacks were not to be trifled with.
There would always be a Battleship whose defences were broken, and once that happened, the entire soldier in the Battleship would be in danger.
As the auras of the Black Ink Clan withered, the sounds of Small Universe collapsing could be heard from the battlefield.
Especially when they were the last to break through the encirclement and retreat, it was the easiest for them to suffer casualties.
Although the Eighth Order master were leading their own Guard-level Battleships to defend the rear, they were unable to guarantee everyone's safety. The Human strength was limited, and there would always be a time when assistance was insufficient.
The Black Ink Clan army's pursuit had not achieved the desired effect, but for the Human Race, it was equivalent to being cut in half.
This was a price that had to be paid. When the East and West Army's higher-ups came up with today's battle plan, they had already anticipated this result.
But this plan had to be carried out. In war, how could there be no casualties?
It's just the difference between more death and fewer death, and the difference between worthless death and valuable death.
The higher ups' plan was to minimize the casualties of the Human Race.
At the beginning of the battle, the massive fleet was extremely imposing.
When they returned, although the formation was still neat, many of the Battleships' light barriers were dim and obscure, and some of the Battleship's Spirit Arrays were even flashing with light.
This was a sign that the Spirit Array was collapsing.
Yang Kai was covered in black blood as he stood on the deck and looked around, his heart filled with emotion.
The peace of the 3000 Worlds was a stark contrast to the bloodiness of the Ink Battlefield. The trillions of living beings in the 3000 Worlds probably never knew that there was such a group of elites from the various Cave Heaven Paradise who were fighting the Black Ink Clan on this battlefield, silently protecting everyone's homeland.
The names of those who died on the battlefield would be engraved on the Heroic Spirit Monument for future generations to remember.
When the acquaintances gradually passed away, all they left behind was a name, not even a decent memory.
A fragrant breeze blew over and Feng Ying stood beside him.
Yang Kai turned around and asked with concern, "How are everyone's injuries?"
Feng Ying said, "It's not a fatal injury. Junior Brother Yu's Small Universe, suffered a shock and will probably need several years to recover. Junior Brother Ning lost an arm, but now it has been reconnected. After he recovers, he will be able to recover to his peak condition. The others are all fine, just minor injuries."
Yang Kai nodded slightly.
The Junior Brother Yu, Feng Ying was referring to was Yu Ziyou. He and Ren Bingbai were the two newly recruited Seventh Order members of Dawn Squad.
As for Junior Brother Ning, he was naturally Ning Zhiqi from Danyang Paradise and could be considered an old member of Dawn. Since Dawn was founded, he had been the backbone of the team and was also one of the Black Ink Disciples Yang Kai had brought back from the Black Ink Clan.
In this battle, the probability of a Seventh Order being injured was much higher than that of a Mid Rank Open Heaven cultivator, because a Seventh Order Open Heaven cultivator would be fighting near the Battleship, unlike Miao Feiping, who was hiding inside a Battleship. As long as the Battleship's defenses weren't broken, they wouldn't be in any danger.
However, although Mid Rank Open Heaven could rely on the Battleship's protection, once the Battleship suffered serious damage, the danger they would face would be greater because their strength was inferior to the High Rank Open Heaven.
The Dawn Squad was an elite team, and after half an hour of fighting, all eight Seventh Order masters, including Yang Kai, had been injured. Ning Zhiqi had even lost an arm, so it was obvious how dangerous this battle was.
However, this was also because Dawn's position was near the periphery, so in this fierce battle, the pressure they faced was greater than the average team.
"I wonder how many people died," Feng Ying suddenly sighed.
Yang Kai remained silent. The dead were gone, and the survivors were destined to continue forward.
Strictly speaking, this battle was a great victory! This was because the difference in strength between the two sides was several dozen times greater, but in this battle, the casualty ratio between the two races was also several dozen times greater.
But even with such a great victory, when they returned, there was no joy at all. This was only the first battle between the East and West armies against the Great Evolution War Zone's Black Ink Clan in a strict sense. In the future, there would be even more brutal battles. When the day came that the Great Evolution Black Ink Clan was eliminated and Great Evolution Pass was taken back, it would not be too late to celebrate.
It will also be celebrated with a share of those allies who died in battle.
When the army returned, they were stationed to recuperate, heal, and repair the Battleship.
Yang Kai gave a few words of advice to the Dawn Squad's members before rushing to the mountain valley alone to lay out his Small Universe and wait for the Old Ancestor to return.
This place could be said to be the restricted area of the entire base, and besides the two Regiment Commanders, even an Eighth Order Open Heaven cultivator wouldn't easily come here, because in the following years, the Old Ancestor would often recuperate here and no one would disturb her.
In the depths of the void, a fierce shockwave continued to spread. It was clearly the battle between the Old Ancestor and the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord.
It wasn't until more than ten days later that the aftershocks suddenly disappeared.
Yang Kai understood and waited silently.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and touched his Small Universe's barrier.
Yang Kai's heart jumped as he took the initiative to open his Small Universe's barrier. In the next moment, the Old Ancestor rushed in and landed beside him.
When she landed, the Old Ancestor's figure swayed slightly.
Yang Kai quickly stepped forward to help her up, only to see that her face was a bit pale and there were many bloodstains on her body, some red and some black.
The red one was obviously the Old Ancestor's, while the black one should be the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord's blood.
Needless to say, this battle had resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses, and this was a situation that the Old Ancestor had deliberately created.
"Is it here?" Smiles Old Ancestor looked up and saw the familiar wooden house.
A hundred years ago, in this Small Universe, the three year old child she had transformed into, had been picked up by the hunter here.
Yang Kai grinned and said, "Thinking that reminiscing about the past is also a form of emotional catharsis, I thought it might be useful for your recovery, so I chose this place. If you think it's inappropriate, let's switch places."
"There's no need, let's do it here," Smiles Old Ancestor waved her hand lightly.
"Alright, I'll help you in, lift your leg!"
Smiles Old Ancestor couldn't help glaring at him. Listening to Yang Kai's words, it was as if she was a dying old woman.
Although she was in a bad state right now, she was still a Ninth Order Supreme Master, so even if she was seriously injured, she didn't need anyone to support her!
As she thought about this, she felt her feet being tripped by the door…
After settling Smiles Old Ancestor down on the bed, Yang Kai walked over and poured her a glass of water.
The Old Ancestor took the cup and drank it, frowning, "Is there no tea leaves?"
Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders, "I'm too lazy to cook, just make do."
The Old Ancestor didn't bother arguing with him over such trivial matters, casually flicking the cup back to the table and letting out a heavy sigh, "I was too careless!"
Hearing this, Yang Kai frowned, "Suffered a loss?"
Smiles Old Ancestor shook her head, "I didn't suffer any losses, it's just that there are some things I didn't think of before."
Yang Kai asked, "What do you mean?"
The Old Ancestor revealed a look of worry, "The Black Ink Clan's Winged Royal Lord can actually use the power of the Black Ink Nest to strengthen himself!"
The Human Race had never heard of such a thing.
Even Yang Kai, who had disguised himself as a member of the Black Ink Clan twice, had never heard of such a thing.
Hearing the Old Ancestor say so, Yang Kai couldn't help being surprised, "The Royal Lord can actually borrow the power of the Black Ink Nest to strengthen himself?"
The Old Ancestor nodded, "That's right, if not for that, how could I have let him off so easily?"
According to her original plan, when dealing with the Royal Lord this time, even if she couldn't kill him, she would at least take half of his life and leave half of his life for the next time. If she did this a few more times, one day she would be able to kill the Royal Lord!
But after the fight, Smiles Old Ancestor realized that this guy could actually borrow the power of the Black Ink Nest, and the amount of power he could borrow was not small.
Yang Kai immediately reacted, "So this is the reason why after you fought with the Royal Lord, you had the upper hand but quickly fell into a disadvantageous position?"
When the Old Ancestor and the Royal Lord were fighting, Yang Kai was in the Dawn Battleship and could clearly see the situation above the King City. However, because the distance was too far, he was unable to clearly see the situation, but it was still possible to see who had the upper hand.
Smiles Old Ancestor nodded. To be honest, when she discovered that the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord's strength had greatly increased, she was also shocked. After all, she had never heard of such information before.
Although the Human Race had fought with the Black Ink Clan for countless years in the Ink Battlefield, because they were unable to resolve the Ink Force, the Human Race's understanding of the Black Ink Clan was quite limited.
Even the Black Ink Nest's ability to transmit information was something Yang Kai had learned.
"After that, you pretended to be injured and didn't go all out?" Yang Kai asked again.
Smiles Old Ancestor was somewhat surprised, "You saw through it?"
