Chapter 1712: 1712 **Chapter 1712: In the Face of Life and Death, Everyone is Selfish** 10 million kilometers outside the Golden Eagle Clan’s fortress, a force of 500,000 Golden Eagle Clan soldiers was stationed. Normally, the number of troops in a war zone is around 100,000. This is true for the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Golden Eagle Clan. However, as the war began, both sides clashed several times: The Golden Eagle Clan suffered some losses, so they started to increase their troops, gradually reaching 500,000. Half a minute after the God Sovereign’s self-destruction, they all saw the light coming from the fortress. In the pitch-black starry sky, a golden light cluster appeared like a star, particularly eye-catching. They all knew it was the direction of their fortress, but they didn’t know what had happened. "What happened there?" "Such a bright light, could it be a God Sovereign experimenting with new magic?" "Should we go and check it out?" "The officers must have already sent someone, it’s not our concern." "Exactly, we’re just soldiers, let’s do our own jobs." The Golden Eagle Clan soldiers were puzzled but didn’t actually go to check. It wasn’t their concern; the officers would handle it. Soon, someone went to check the situation. Several golden lights streaked across the starry sky, quickly flying towards the fortress. Three minutes later, these golden lights returned. Immediately, a beautiful golden firework exploded in the starry sky. "All troops, be on alert!" A commanding voice echoed through the army. All the Golden Eagle Clan soldiers immediately became alert, and warships flew out, forming formations in the sky. The Golden Eagle Clan didn’t rely on warships; they were mainly used for rest and transportation. "Is there going to be another battle?" "Didn’t we just fight a few days ago?" "It seems something happened at the fortress, could it be the Human Clan attacking?" "I heard our fortress’s location has been exposed, the Human Clan might try to destroy it." "It’s all that idiot’s fault for leading the Human Clan here." "The elders said they would move the fortress in a few days. We just need to hold on for a few more days, then we can fully compete with the Human Clan for the crystal jade." "The elders also said that if we can seize the crystal jade mine star, everyone will get a share." "That’s God Sovereign-level material. When I reach God Sovereign, I’ll have materials to forge weapons." "We must seize the crystal jade. The clan will continue to increase troops, and victory will surely be ours." The 500,000 Golden Eagle Clan soldiers had their own thoughts. As they were lost in their fantasies, countless white sword auras streaked across the starry sky. The sword auras were vast and majestic, each carrying the power of a God Sovereign. The dense sword auras swept in, instantly turning the Golden Eagle Clan’s formation into a beehive. "Enemy attack!" A sharp cry echoed through the starry sky. At the same time, golden fireworks exploded violently. But the only response was the endless, countless sword auras. As the resurrected one self-destructed, Lin Moyu had already ordered the Skeleton God Generals to set off. The Skeleton God Generals, moving at 200,000 kilometers per second, synchronized to shrink the encirclement. In just over three minutes, they made contact with the Golden Eagle Clan’s army. Because the fortress was destroyed, the Golden Eagle Clan’s "Eagle Eye" technique was completely broken. They relied too much on the "Eagle Eye" technique and didn’t send out patrols, so they didn’t notice the arrival of the Skeleton God Generals. It wasn’t until the sword auras attacked that they realized they were under attack. But by then, it was too late. The encirclement formed by the Skeleton God Generals had shrunk to a small sphere, completely surrounding the Golden Eagle Clan. No matter which direction the Golden Eagle Clan’s army flew, they couldn’t break out. The dense God Sovereign-level sword auras completely shattered the Golden Eagle Clan’s army. Warships exploded under the sword auras, turning into fragments. Countless Golden Eagle Clan members were reduced to bones in the sword auras. In just five seconds, half of the 500,000 Golden Eagle Clan soldiers were dead or injured. "Retreat, retreat quickly." "Retreat towards the fortress, the enemy is a God Sovereign." "Oh my god, so many God Sovereigns, how can there be so many God Sovereigns?" The Golden Eagle Clan was in complete chaos, their morale utterly shattered. They fled frantically, without any thought of resistance. Countless Golden Eagle Clan members, with their dreams of crystal jade, were forever frozen in the sword auras. Golden lights streaked across the starry sky, flying towards the fortress. The dense sword auras continued to rampage, and the Skeleton God Generals maintained their formation, advancing steadily. By now, the Skeleton God Generals had slowed down. From the initial 200,000 kilometers per second, they had slowed to 50,000 kilometers per second. Wherever they passed, nothing grew, and no Golden Eagle Clan member could survive. Outside the fortress, the thirteen surviving Golden Eagle Clan God Sovereigns and thousands of God Kings and True Gods saw countless golden lights. Each golden light was a Golden Eagle Clan member, flying from the direction of the army’s station. At the same time, the God Sovereigns saw the white sword auras. "Something’s wrong, something happened!" The God Sovereigns’ hearts sank. They had already ordered the army to be on alert, but they didn’t expect the Human Clan’s attack to come so quickly. It was clearly premeditated. Among those fleeing from the army, one was flying the fastest, the army’s commander. The commander was also a God Sovereign. He had been stunned by the attack, and after recovering, he knew he couldn’t fight so many God Sovereigns, so he rushed back immediately. "It’s skeletons, so many skeletons!" "Each skeleton is a God Sovereign, at least hundreds of thousands." "We’re surrounded." He briefly explained the situation. The God Sovereigns present felt their hearts sink. Skeletons, without a doubt, were the Human Clan’s puppets. God Sovereign-level puppets, and in the hundreds of thousands. How could they fight this? Even combined, they were only fourteen. Although some were second or third-rank God Sovereigns, and the strongest was a sixth-rank God Sovereign. But it was still impossible to fight, even self-preservation was difficult. "They first destroyed our teleportation arrays and fortress, disabling the Eagle Eye, preventing us from using the teleportation arrays to escape, and then launched a sneak attack." "The Human Clan, what a tactic." "We should leave first and report the situation back." The Golden Eagle Clan God Sovereigns quickly made a decision. Since they couldn’t win, they decided to leave and save their lives. As for the God Kings and True Gods, they would die here. War is cruel like that; it’s every man for himself. As long as they survived, they didn’t care about others. In the face of life and death, their selfishness was fully exposed. They were God Sovereigns, with high status and valuable lives. They spread their wings, ready to use space leap to leave. With space leap, no matter how tight the encirclement, it wouldn’t matter. But the next second, they all found that space leap had lost its effect. The God Sovereigns’ faces turned grim, their eyes filled with rage. "Space is locked!" "The Human Clan used a space-locking array to seal the space." "The Human Clan wants to kill us all, such ruthless tactics!" "Then let’s break through in one direction, I don’t believe we can’t break out." "We’ll remember this grudge and repay it in the future." They thought of a second plan, and one God Sovereign shouted, "Follow us, break through!"
