Six-Winged Devil Race
Chen Nianzhi had no choice but to be cautious. The Spirit Isle in the Star-Moon Island region were the core of the Star-Sun Island. These Tier 4 Spirit Isle had extremely strong defenses, and even Tier 5 Treasure Ship would need two days to attack them.
Two days is enough time for Chen Nianzhi to lead her men to provide support.
The fact that the enemy could break through three Spirit Isle simultaneously, without even giving them time to provide reinforcements, suggests they must have at least a dozen Tier 5 Treasure Ship.
Chen Changxuan's expression was solemn. He took a deep breath and said, "The other side has at least twenty Tier 5 Treasure Ship, and they are constantly removing Spirit Isle. They are clearly preparing to eliminate the array cores of our Star-Sun Island one by one."
Seeing this, Jiang Linglong took a deep breath and said, "It seems the Devil Race really wants to divert our main force so they can take the opportunity to break through a key point of the main formation."
"Fortunately, we didn't divert too many people to support Zhen Water Island, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to hold out either."
The Old Clan Leader nodded, then asked, "So, how should this battle be fought?"
"Since the Devil Race wants to take over our Star-Sun Island, they must have considerable strength." After a moment of contemplation, Chen Nianzhi finally spoke up, "Let's stall for time and wait for our allies to regroup before we find an opportunity to fight."
"Let's take this opportunity to ascertain their strength before making any further plans."
After making the decision, Chen Nianzhi immediately issued orders to the seven Tier 5 Spirit Isle under Star-Sun Island, and then personally flew to the front line to gather intelligence.
With the Yin-Yang Void Realm in hand, his ability to escape is extremely powerful. Moreover, with the Stargazing Tower to conceal his aura and prepare for deductions, he doesn't need to worry about being left behind by the Outer Realm Demons.
Just three days later, Chen Nianzhi returned to Star-Sun Island and said to everyone with a solemn expression, "This Devil Race is the Six-Winged Demon Clan. They have twenty-three Tier 5 Treasure Ship and forty-six Heavenly Demon above the Nascent Soul stage."
"Among them are five Nascent Soul Late Stage, whose strength should not be underestimated."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. In the entire Star-Sun Island region, there were only about thirty Nascent Soul Cultivator among the Human Race's True Lord.
Currently, there are only two True Lord at the Nascent Soul Late Stage: Heavenly Hut Sect and Heavenly Desolation Sect. Even if Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong are included, there are only four.
Dealing with an opponent whose overall strength is at least one-third greater than the others is enough to completely influence the course of the battle.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianchuan glanced at everyone and said directly, "In the past few days, we have lost thirty-seven Spirit Isle. If we don't send troops to fight them, we can only watch helplessly as the Spirit Isle are conquered one by one."
The Heavenly Hut Sect had a solemn expression. After pondering for a moment, he said, "My Earthfire Mystic Crystal Sword has already been used to set up an array. If we go out to intercept them now, we might suffer losses."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. The Outer Realm Demons were powerful, and to fight them outside of the Spirit Isle would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
If left unchecked, once the Spirit Isle are destroyed one by one, Star-Sun Island will eventually be besieged by the enemy.
With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi asked, "Can the surrounding Starry Spirit Isle spare troops to provide support?"
The Heavenly Road Sect Master shook his head and said, "I contacted Nine Rivers Daoist not long ago. His Zhang Moon-Deer Archipelago were also attacked by the Devil Race Clan, but we don't know the size of their forces yet, so we dare not act rashly."
"Then we'll just have to delay it."
Chen Nianchuan spoke up, saying that the strategy of delaying was to remain on the Spirit Isle and wait for a more suitable opportunity.
The Star-Sun Archipelago number over seven hundred. If the Devil Race don't divide their forces, it would take at least several years to conquer them one by one. But if they do divide their forces, it might be an opportunity for them.
If this drags on, even if they win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, because for every Tier 4 Spirit Isle that is breached, they will lose at least several thousand cultivators, and there may not even be any survivors.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Nianzhi said, "On Star-Sun Island, we set up a quasi-primordial Primordial Spirit level formation using the Duality Treasure Lotus and the Earthfire Mystic Crystal Sword. Its offensive and defensive capabilities are extremely powerful."
"Why not temporarily abandon those Tier 4 Spirit Isle and concentrate our forces to defend Star-Sun Island and fight the Devil Race?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Chen Nianzhi to make this plan.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Nianzhi spoke again, "A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. Even if we delay the inevitable, it will greatly deplete our strength. It would be better to unite our forces and concentrate our superior strength to catch the enemy off guard."
The Heavenly Hut Sect hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Isn't giving up hundreds of Spirit Isle too great a price to pay?"
Chen Nianzhi shook her head, then smiled and said, "If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both; if you save the people but lose the land, you gain both."
"Isn't their goal to eliminate our affiliated Spirit Isle one by one, and then break through one of the star array's cores?"
Chen Nianzhi said calmly, murderous intent flashing in her eyes, "I'll let them try their luck on Star-Sun Island and see if Star-Sun Island is conquered, or if they end up battered and bruised."
There was something Chen Nianzhi didn't say: he was someone who didn't want to entrust his fate to others.
The situation on Zhen Water Island is currently unclear, and the other star Spirit Isle of the major star palaces may not be able to be defended either. If the other star Spirit Isle collapse, it will be a huge blow to both morale and the Astral Constellation Formation.
Rather than being gradually eroded by the enemy, it is better to break the deadlock as soon as possible and seek opportunities to create a numerical advantage and influence the course of the battle.
Knowing Chen Nianzhi's personality well, Jiang Linglong said, "Although the Star-Sun Island's array power will decrease by 30% to 40% after losing the blessing of hundreds of Spirit Isle."
"But with the Duality Earthfire Sword Formation at our disposal, and combined with the Astral Constellation Formation, we might actually have a chance of victory."
Seeing that Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong had finalized their plan, the Heavenly Hut Sect said, "Since that's the case, let's summon the Heavenly Desolation Sect and the others, and prepare for a major battle at any time."
After making the decision, Chen Nianzhi gave an order, commanding the cultivators on various Spirit Isle to abandon their Spirit Isle and begin gathering at Star-Sun Island.
Thanks to Chen Nianzhi's previous order, the number of cultivators stationed on each Tier 4 Spirit Isle was small, and the relocation was surprisingly fast.
A Spirit Isle only has a few thousand cultivators, but Tier 5 Treasure Ship can carry away dozens of Spirit Isle cultivators in a day, and in less than ten days, all the cultivators on the Spirit Isle will be evacuated.
In order to concentrate forces, Chen Nianzhi even transferred the Spirit Isle guarded by the immortal clans of more than a dozen continents, including the Heavenly Desolation Sect, to Star-Sun Island.
In an instant, eighteen Tier 5 Treasure Ship gathered on Star-Sun Island, carrying as many as twenty million Human Race cultivators, including thirty-seven Nascent Soul True Lord.
While this strength is still slightly inferior to that of the Six-Winged Devil Race, with the addition of the Star-Sun Island's formation, it can be said that it is by no means weak.
When the Six- Six-Winged Devil Race Six-Winged Devil Race received the message, their leader sneered, "These Human Race who control Star-Sun Island are truly useless. They actually abandoned these hundreds of Spirit Isle, allowing me to reap this enormous reward."
