Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 407 - 55: The Allied Siege of Barbaric Star: Numerous Ancient Lifeforms

Of course, when an Ancient Life enters the Divine Tier, its Divine Law Power is equally formidable.

They naturally possess the ability to firmly anchor themselves to their corresponding position on the Material Interface, preventing them from being swept away by the turbulence of Subspace.

Take the Storm Goddess and the other gods, for example. For a short time, they too can use their own power to firmly anchor themselves to the Material Interface from within Subspace. They would only be swept away by the turbulence if their Power failed.

Therefore, what Storm Goddess Gwyneth said was indeed true.

"If this Feathered Insect God has truly entered Subspace, then we have a real problem."

"It would be fine if it never came out, but if it suddenly reappeared, our mortal forces could suffer massive losses in a short time."

"I think we should have the mortals spread out for now. The landing parties are an exception, of course."

The Storm Goddess had no objection and nodded in agreement.

"We do need to have the mortals increase their distance."

With that said, the two Main Gods immediately issued orders to the mortal command departments of their respective empires.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the gods, the allied fleet began to move away from Barbaric Star, and all the Starships started to methodically increase the distance between one another.

The distance was set at 5,000 kilometers, which was quite a significant gap in all directions—up, down, left, and right.

Of course, the allies still left fifty Starships each in orbit outside Barbaric Star.

Moreover, a dense swarm of drones and other similar devices was still being deployed.

Barbaric Star wasn’t huge, but it was by no means small.

According to calculations from Intelligent Mechanism Anita’s starship, while Barbaric Star’s diameter did not exceed twice that of any known Life Planet, it was still nearly 26,000 kilometers.

’A planet with a diameter of 26,000 kilometers?’

That was much larger than Player Sean, who had previously gathered intelligence for the Vanguard Army, had estimated.

In fact, the Oakland Continent, also a Middle Demon High-Energy World, had a diameter of just over 18,000 kilometers.

Just comparing the data made the gods exclaim in amazement.

"As expected of a planet that can birth at least a double-handful of Ancient Deities."

"Its size alone reveals how special it is."

"It’s just a shame that a world like this can’t be called a High Demon World. What a pity."

"How is that a pity?"

"A double-handful of Ancient Deities! Whether we subjugate or kill them, the rewards will be beyond imagination."

"This is a great fortune for our two empires!"

"Let’s just hope the remaining Ancient Deities on this planet aren’t too strong. That way, His Majesty the Emperor might even be able to subjugate one when he takes action."

"..."

The ambitions of the Giant Demon Gods were not that great.

After all, they were well aware of the power of Ancient Deities, and they also knew their own limits.

Thus, just as they had agreed upon before, the Gods of the Giant Demon Empire only hoped to kill or subjugate a single Ancient Deity for their own use this time.

Of course, if that proved impossible, their only remaining option would be to request the corpse of an Ancient Deity from the Star Empire.

After all, the Giant Demon Empire had been the one to discover this world.

They were also the ones who had invited the Star Empire to share in this ’feast’.

Therefore, such a request was not excessive. In fact, the Star Empire had already planned to give a portion of its spoils to the Giant Demon Empire.

After all, one good turn deserves another.

It was only right to return the favor.

And so, under the gods’ watch, once a large number of unmanned satellites had been deployed and were capable of monitoring every region of the land in real-time,

a special drone suddenly projected a gigantic image before the Star Sea Gods.

The image was over a kilometer in length and width and was divided into one main screen and over a thousand smaller screens.

At that moment, the voice of the so-called God of Intelligent Machinery, Intelligent Brain Anita, spoke through this special machine via Spiritual Transmission.

"Greetings, everyone."

"Next, I, Anita, the God of Intelligent Machinery, will present the specific information we have gathered on this planet so far."

"..."

Intelligent Mechanism Anita began to speak, relaying information gathered from unmanned satellites and even from some drones that had descended to the planet’s surface to investigate.

It was known that the sole continent on Barbaric Star was currently occupied by four great Ancient Races.

The north was occupied by a group of Ice Crystal Beastmen, whose bodies seemed to be composed of ice and snow.

The south belonged to the Forest Elf Clan.

The west was occupied by a group of Ratkin.

As for the east and most of the central regions, they were, without a doubt, entirely occupied by the Feathered Insect Race.

Currently, only these four races existed on the continent.

In the ocean, however, based on data from unmanned submersibles and feedback from the allied Vanguard Army, there were at least thirteen different clans.

This also meant there were at least thirteen Ancient Life forms in the sea.

But interestingly, the strength of the Ancient Deities in this ocean was clearly weaker than that of the Ancient Deities of the four great land-based races.

This conclusion could be drawn from the fact that five of the marine clans had united near the coast to resist the greedy Feathered Insect Race.

Based on Intelligent Mechanism Anita’s deductions,

there were perhaps a total of seventeen Ancient Life forms, or Ancient Deities, currently existing on Barbaric Star.

Of course, this did not rule out the existence of other, weaker Ancient Life forms hiding in the shadows—so weak they didn’t even dare to show themselves or develop their own clans.

"Among the Sea Race, we have identified three clans that are the weakest."

"These three clans are jointly resisting a slightly larger marine clan in a narrow sea region. Their gods have likely not yet achieved Ascension to Divinity."

"Therefore, I suggest that for your first move, you could start with these three Sea Race clans."

Intelligent Mechanism Anita advised against launching an all-out war right away.

It would be better to first chip away at the less threatening Ancient Deities and their clans, one step at a time.

This way, the situation wouldn’t descend into chaos all at once.

At the same time, the gods would have enough time and capacity to first deal with those Ancient Life forms that had not yet ascended, or had only just entered the Divine Tier.

This way, everyone would contribute and earn their own merits.

Intelligent Brain Anita’s suggestion was a good one.

In fact, even after learning all this information, the gods had been planning to do the same.

You can’t get fat in one bite.

After all, this planet was huge. If they declared war on all the races and Ancient Life forms at once, the ensuing chaos would make it impossible for the gods to coordinate properly and support one another.

’They couldn’t possibly drag out their strongest combat power, Kukudar, right at the start of the war, could they?’

’What would that make them, the other Deities?’

Therefore, without needing a strong recommendation from Intelligent Mechanism Anita,

both the Storm Main God and the Giant Demon Main God Moridun agreed with the current plan.

’Three Ancient Life forms that haven’t even achieved Ascension to Divinity!’

The Giant Demon Empire desperately needed such an achievement.

However, even if there were three Ancient Life forms that had yet to ascend, their true power would certainly not be weak.

It was understandable that a Saint Tier or Demigod Tier being could rival a Deity with Weak Divine Power.

So, this battle would not be an easy one.

After all, the laws of the Material Realm would limit the gods’ strength and even reject their true bodies from entering it.

Not to mention, approximately every twenty hours, a Magic Power storm would sweep across the entire world.

The Magic Power storm would last for about an hour. During this time, the Magic Power within all Extraordinary Life forms would be compressed, making it difficult to even cast Magic on the Material Interface.

Although it was still unclear whether the Ancient Life would also be suppressed, their powerful physical bodies were also their strongest weapons.

Therefore, for this war in the Lower Realm,

the gods planned to project their power down at the first possible moment after the next Magic Power storm had passed over the world.

Of course, before that, the allied forces would first deploy a contingent of troops.

The first wave of deployed troops would number three million!

Three million Transcendents, along with various drones.

The three million Transcendents would simultaneously engage the three clans of ancient followers.

And once the Ancient Life behind these clans were lured out, the projections of the gods would immediately launch the most devastating strike against these three Ancient Life forms.

Of course, the Starships in outer space would also target the Ancient Life at the first opportunity.

The Starships’ cannons would fire directly from orbit, striking the Ancient Life.

As for how much the Starship cannons’ power would be weakened by the Mana Will in the process, that was not something they needed to calculate at the moment.

In short, the allied forces would next focus all their efforts on dealing with the clans of these three Ancient Life forms.
