Ebony's plea for aid
When Ebony regained his balance Rules Body, the Destruction Flames on his shoulder had not yet been completely extinguished.
He pressed a more solidified darkness onto the wound, then raised his hand, stopping the newly delivered frontline reports in front of him.
In one of these locations, the complete lines of one's own army were no longer intact.
A vast expanse of dark red light swept across the broken Sword Formation and continued to advance backward. Further afield, the facilities originally used for transporting resources had also lost contact one after another.
Locke did not stop the entire legion just because he stepped back.
Ebony's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Bring these back first," he said.
The Transcendence Realm the order immediately noted down the location. The legions that were originally guarding the outermost areas would find it difficult to return in time if the Jieyin Passage was destroyed.
Now, he no longer cares about preserving all the strongholds intact.
A Communication Mark then appeared in Ebony's hand.
A bright yellow, regular glow slowly rose from the other end.
When the World-Realm Emperor Monarch received the message, the delivery of a batch of resources from Yuanyu was not yet complete.
He instructed Geduo to continue the exchange agreed upon with the Homeland Civilization, while he himself walked to the back and received the mark delivered by Ebony.
He had already seen some of the changes at the Darkness Sword Organization's front lines from reports coming in from the garrison.
One of the transportation routes is not far from the place where the Source-Devouring Time-Space is currently in use.
However, the Destruction Legion, which is currently launching its offensive, has not yet crossed the boundaries previously agreed upon by both sides.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch then saw the Ebony.
The opponent's not-yet-fully-retracted source energy at the shoulder, and the constantly undulating darkness nearby, clearly indicated that they had not just experienced an easy battle.
"Locke has come in person," Ebony said.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch nodded, but did not immediately answer who should be sent next.
Ebony then deployed several areas of the starry sky that were under attack.
"Your legions in the vicinity can move here first."
He pointed to one of the areas still guarded by the Darkness Sword. It connected to two rear passages, and if the Destruction Divine Kingdom were to take it as well, the remaining positions would be even more difficult to maintain.
After reading it, the World-Realm Emperor Monarch still did not activate the Communication Device beside him.
"How many troops do you want us to send?" he asked.
"Bring those legions over first, and I hope we can also get some high-ranking combat personnel," Ebony replied.
"You're planning to make me deal with Locke myself?"
A brief silence fell between them.
Ebony did not immediately deny it.
The ordinary Source-Devouring Beast Legion alone is no match for Locke himself. Even if a few more Level-12 Existence were sent over, it would only improve the situation on the battlefield.
What truly forced him to retreat was still the Destruction Demon God!
This time, the World-Realm Emperor Monarch did not comply with his request to report all the available powers of the Source-Devouring Time-Space.
"I haven't finished reviewing your battlefield situation yet," he said.
The darkness beside Ebony visibly surged.
He could tell, of course, that the other party wasn't planning to agree immediately.
When the Source-Devouring Legion was invited to enter the Primordial Universe Time-Space, the World-Realm Emperor Monarch was willing to patiently listen to his explanation of the pathways and the relationships between them and the various Homeland Civilization.
Now that it's their turn to need help, this guy's suddenly become arrogant!
"We already have quite a few collaborations between us," Ebony said in a deep voice.
"There is cooperation," the World-Realm Emperor Monarch replied, "But what you need now is different from what we discussed before."
Indeed, Ebony did not establish a deeper war cooperation or partnership with the World-Realm Emperor Monarch and others.
But right now, the front lines clearly don't have that much time to let him wait.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch looked again at the area marked by the Ebony.
The Destruction Divine Kingdom Army had already approached one end of it. The ever-expanding Dark Golden Crystal Tide was also recorded by images transmitted from the vicinity.
Crystal Tide Wrath Beast.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch had heard of this Destruction Creature before, but the situation before him was different from that of a native being that could only remain in the Destruction Time-Space.
It doesn't yet have a precise idea of how long it can stay here.
As for the several constantly unfolding dark gun shadows above, it clearly shows that Locke himself has not left.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch did not overlook this opponent.
He had clashed with Locke and witnessed firsthand the power displayed by the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction in the Source-Devouring Time-Space.
Meanwhile, the Mechanical Civilization and the Source-Devouring Time-Space are still maintaining many new exchanges. Some of the results delivered by Saine have even been sent to his own legions.
To defend these strongholds for Ebony, the decision to immediately bring both sides back to war was not something that could be easily made with a simple offer of help.
He then placed several of these locations separately in front.
"What price are you prepared to pay?" the World-Realm Emperor Monarch asked.
Ebony looked at him, "What do you want?"
"It's not just about resources," the World-Realm Emperor Monarch said calmly.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch did not explain all the arrangements that were not yet confirmed at once. He first inquired about the existing garrisons in those areas, and the routes that could be used if more forces were to be deployed.
Ebony had no choice but to have his subordinates redo these records.
One of the routes originally used to transport the Source-Devouring Legion has now approached the retreating Darkness Line.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch made that route shine alone between the two of them.
"If we go this way, can you guarantee it won't be cut off from the back?" he asked.
Ebony did not reply immediately. The legion responsible for maintaining that starry sky had just sent him a request, hoping that the rear could provide more strength.
He could only start anew with a longer route.
"And here too."
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch assessed the distance between the two locations. Based on the scale of reinforcements Ebony had just proposed, the facilities needed on this Saine's side were clearly more extensive.
Simply having a group of Source-Devouring Beasts stationed at the front lines doesn't mean you can send your entire army to another location at any time.
Especially after Locke began dismantling outposts along the way, the portion that could sustainably transport high-level combat forces needed to be stabilized first.
Ebony also handed over some of the arrangements that were not yet open.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch reviewed each item, but did not immediately agree. How far these things could last still needed further verification from the rear.
The reinforcement requests that Ebony had originally drafted had to be revised.
However, the Source-Devouring Time-Space did not immediately agree.
On the other side, the Darkness Sword Organization's garrison still hadn't gotten a moment's respite.
As the Darkedge Sword Lord led a legion in retreat, a vast Destruction Storm still pressed down on the positions along the way.
His sword strike shattered a piece of crystal armor on the shoulder of the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, but it failed to make the creature leave the area it was attacking.
On the other side, Karuman's sandstorm left several already damaged facilities without their last line of defense.
If he stayed there now, he might be surrounded by several level -Level-12 Power.
The Darkedge Sword Lord had no choice but to retreat.
The Darkness Fleet that followed him away was far smaller than when he came to provide support. Some of the Transport Platform that were being moved were even left behind in another part of space because they were too heavy.
He ordered the legion to sever some connections, and to collect the resources that could still be taken into the remaining fleet.
Soon, a new record of losses was presented to Ebony.
The area where we just requested support from the World-Realm Emperor Monarch has already lost one of its key positions.
After watching it, Ebony immediately put the entire video away.
"Secure the passage behind us first!" he ordered again.
The legions that had originally planned to defend several peripheral resource-producing areas subsequently changed course.
Dark Nether Death God and Duolie also received messages from Ebony.
This time, Ebony didn't just tell them that Locke had arrived in Yuanyu; he also sent them some details of their recent confrontation.
The Dark Nether Death God watched those dark gun shadows and remained silent for a long time.
He never believed that the Destruction Demon God was an entity that could be easily dealt with. The results already achieved made him even less inclined to immediately lead his legion there.
"What did the World-Realm Emperor Monarch say?" Duolie asked first.
Ebony briefly summarized the response from the other side.
The two Lord of Dimension opposite them clearly understood the meaning as well.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch did not agree to take action personally, and the troops stationed in the Source-Devouring Time-Space have not yet fully entered the war.
Duolie then inquired about several locations that had not yet been lost, instructing Ebony to gather the forces that could be withdrawn. Dark Nether Death God, on the other hand, continued watching the battlefield footage, without immediately promising a joint attack.
The essence of Ebony rippled once more beside him.
He didn't immediately consider the potential help the two might offer as reinforcements already in hand. The Destruction Flames left behind by Locke continued to burn near the wound.
"Tell me immediately if you have any news," he said.
After the communication was gradually discontinued, a Transcendence Realm expert who had just retreated from the front lines was already waiting on the outside.
What the other side brought back was an alarm that yet another outpost was about to lose its transport capabilities.
Ebony first handed over the records that the World-Realm Emperor Monarch had asked to the rear for further processing, then raised his hand and crossed out two areas of the outer starry sky that were still requesting reinforcements.
"Abandon that place and bring the rest of the army back."
