Ten thousand I am across the heavens

In the valley with the rustling autumn wind, two groups of people stood facing each other. The people of Lishui Tribe. Everyone rode on war wolves, and their strength had increased significantly compared to previous years. They clearly had an advantage in terms of momentum. On the other side, although there were more people than them, the people in the tribe all showed worried expressions. They were also fighting for this valley under the orders of the Golden Family. However, the Golden Family behind the two sides was not the same.

The weak tribes on the grassland have their own ways of survival. In the cold winter, there are always some safe havens where people can survive. And they need these safe havens to hide. However, the members of the Golden Family also know where these safe havens are. However, these places are too barren in terms of natural environment and extraordinary resources compared to the Royal Court. Although there is a way out if you do not participate in the Royal Court Battle, compared to those winners, you can only watch your family continue to decline. It is just the difference between a vigorous battle and a slow death. Therefore, all the main forces of the Golden Family are still on the battlefield of the Royal Court Battle.

But these strategic locations for wintering must also be strong. If you don't have the troops to rob them, then force other small families to help you rob them. If there were no golden families and no behemoths, the safe havens in the grasslands would actually be enough for all the small tribes nearby to live in. There wouldn't be much conflict between them. At most, they would use force to coordinate how to distribute the excess resources, or exclude the weakest family, to ensure that there were enough resources in the safe havens.

But now they all have different orders from the Golden Family, so they can only fight to the death. If they unite, they can certainly pose a certain threat to the Golden Family. Defending in a safe haven that can withstand the harsh winter is a great advantage. But they each have a handle on the Golden Family. Either the economic lifeline of the tribe is controlled. Or an important member of the family is held hostage by the Golden Family. Or even more unfortunate, everyone in the entire tribe has been planted with vicious poisonous insects. They must obtain antidotes regularly to survive.

It was not easy for them to resist. Compared to paying a huge price, they were not sure they would win. Other equally weak families seemed easier to bully.

Everyone joined forces. Although it was not impossible, they joined forces to deal with the Golden Family. The Golden Family would join forces to suppress them in the second year. That would be something they could not resist.

At this moment, the two groups of people were facing each other at the entrance of the canyon. They were the first two tribes to arrive at the canyon. However, being first did not bring them much advantage, because there were six or seven competitors in total. If they fought each other first, the latecomers would gain an advantage. So even though the Lishui tribe had a slight advantage at the moment, both sides maintained restraint.

Although it was a life-and-death war, they all held on to their last hope. That was the Golden Family who gave them the order. They became the winners of this battle in the royal court. They didn't need to return to this shelter for refuge, or when winter came, no one received the news of the Golden Family's arrival, and then they could all hide in the shelter.

Because that would most likely mean that no one would come to this safe haven during the winter.

As the confrontation between the two sides continued, more and more people rushed to the intersection of the canyon. More people began to set up camp here, and several kilometers of military camps were set up here. The latecomers had no intention of launching an attack. All the families were now waiting quietly.

But the order from the Golden Family they were waiting for did not come. Instead, the roaring sound from the horizon came first. The roaring sound was as if something was approaching from a distance. And judging by the speed at which the sound was getting louder, the speed of the approaching object must be terrifyingly fast. Otherwise, the sound would not change so drastically when it approached.

Soon they saw the source of the sound. But when they saw the people and horses coming, everyone showed a confused expression. Most of the tribes fighting for this valley were familiar to each other. They were all tribes living nearby. Some were good at taming war horses, some were good at making chariots, and each army had its own characteristics. But no family had ever ridden a strange warship that flew close to the ground above the grassland, advancing across the grassland at a speed that was too fast to be seen by the naked eye.

Among all the people, only Yak recognized what the high-speed objects were. They were ground-effect vehicles. Using the ground effect, the vehicles could be suspended in the air while being very close to the ground, consuming only a small amount of thrust. The resistance in this suspended state was already very small. At this time, if thrust was given, the aircraft could move forward at a very high speed.

The nomadic tribes on the grasslands were unlikely to be able to use such effects. Most of them thought it was the effect of some special poisonous insects. This was not difficult to understand. At least in their opinion, although it was strange, it was not enough to cause fear. There were countless poisonous insects that could achieve anti-gravity effects, and flying itself was nothing to be amazed at. They were just surprised by the large number of such flying units. It seemed to be inconsistent with their traditional impression of expensive flying units.

The major families were restrained from each other, and none of them launched an attack despite their mutual hostility. Another wave of people came, and although they all looked at them with hostility, they did not launch an attack.

Soon these people landed. They landed not far from them. As if to show their goodwill, they stopped their flying vehicles one by one. When they came down, they found that these aircraft could release tires after landing, so they could move forward at high speed even without leaving the ground.

Although the exchanges between tribes on the grassland were not as frequent as in other areas, they were still relatively frequent. According to the customs of the grassland, all the tribes sent representatives to find the new group of strange people wearing heavy armor. Living in the desolate areas deep in the grassland, they lacked sources of information. The results of the royal court disputes were often not known until after the deep winter. Only when the defeated Golden Family fled to these shelters were they qualified to know.

Therefore, they had no idea how far the battle of the royal court had progressed, and they were even more worried that the people in front of them were members of the Golden Family who had escaped after the defeat. If they were members of the defeated Golden Family, even if their numbers were small, their combat power would probably be very strong. After all, the Golden Family was rich in resources, and everyone could be trained to become a master.

However, after their envoys came into close contact, the families felt relieved. The reason was simple, because the cultivation of these people was not very high. Their auras were very unique. Most of them had the aura of ordinary people. A few showed the aura of the second and third level, but their auras were very superficial. If you sense them carefully, they are often just at the first level. That is, they have just completed the awakening of their own voids. This kind of strength is not considered strong even in these marginal tribes. Not to mention that they are not members of the Golden Family. The only thing worth mentioning is that the equipment on these people looks very good, not just the strange vehicles that can fly at high speed. The armor they wear is almost completely sealed. It is also a good thing.

The tribes on the grasslands were scattered and unable to concentrate, so it was difficult for the industry to develop. Metal smelting and other industries were highly dependent on Gu worms. The randomness and uneven distribution of Gu worms also led to the uneven distribution of industrial products such as metals. Except for the Golden Family, other tribes, big and small, were quite scarce for industrial products. For tribes in remote areas like this, if an entire tribe could produce a few sets of heavy armor made of pure metal, it would be considered relatively wealthy. For a tribe like them with thousands of people all wearing uniform armor, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were extremely rich.

Although this extremely luxurious equipment seemed flashy to them, it did shock them to a certain extent, and the messengers between them quickly exchanged information.

The newcomers were naturally the troops that broke out of the underground base. They traveled to many places and contacted and rescued many tribes that were attacked by the Golden Family. Now they reunited to persuade the tribes fighting for the Howling Wind Valley to unite and fight against the Golden Family together. Compared with other tribes on the grassland, these tribes fighting for the valley were already quite powerful. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by the Golden Family as their own dogs.

Winning their power is equivalent to winning a sharp blade that can stab the Golden Family at any time. For this reason, a total of 4 squadrons of elite warriors gathered together, ready to persuade these families to join the camp against the Golden Family in a peaceful way, and use the sword in their hands to open up a world for their own survival.

The envoys from various parties gathered together and finally figured out that this was not an accidental encounter. But they also had more doubts. The army in the underground base included professionals who specialized in conducting diplomacy with other tribes. At this time, it was the diplomats who communicated with the envoys of these tribes.

"We came from a man-made underground shelter. There we gathered dozens of tribes, large and small. We dug hundreds of meters underground and built a huge shelter that could accommodate tens of millions of people.

But our shelter has been besieged by the Golden Family. Although we have fought hard, we have been forced into the shelter. We are fighting with the Golden Family army for every corridor in the shelter."

The diplomat's words startled many envoys. Some couldn't help but ask, "How dare you go against the will of the Golden Family. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Who wouldn't be afraid of death? But even if we don't go against the will of the Golden Family, how can we survive? We are driven out of the shelter. How can we survive in the cold winter? Or do you think we should bring a large army here, attack and seize these natural shelters, and then drive you out?"

"But even if you dare to resist, how can you stop the Golden Family? Instead of rushing to die right now, it is better to escape in different ways. Maybe there is still a chance of survival."

In fact, what the envoys really meant was that with these scraps of copper and iron in your hands, how could you possibly defeat the Golden Family? Those top-level fifth-level masters have the power to move mountains and fill the sea. How could you possibly defeat them with just a few people like you?

"You are wrong about this. We not only resisted the Golden Family and kept them out of the base for more than half a month, but also had an extremely exaggerated casualty ratio with them. According to current statistics, for every three members of the Golden Family killed, one soldier in the underground base would be killed. This is because the army had to absorb a large number of new recruits who had not undergone long-term training recently, and the breakout operation had to be fought in close combat, which lost the terrain advantage.

If the total number of the Golden Family was not too large, and the number of their troops was several times greater than our total population, we would have the confidence to defeat the combined forces of more than 20 Golden Families head-on even if we did not come out to ask for help."

This statement was almost regarded as bragging, because such a thing sounded like a fairy tale no matter how you listened to it. For tens of thousands of years, these remote tribes had already deeply experienced the power of the Golden Family. Time and time again, they resisted. This further proved the power of the Golden Family. The destruction of small tribes one after another eventually extinguished their rebellious hearts. Such examples of resistance to the Golden Family and success sounded like nonsense to them now.

As if they had guessed that these people would not believe it, the diplomat took out a projection screen and projected the scene on the battlefield onto the screen.

"This is a scene recorded by our war correspondents on the battlefield. If you don't want to believe it, you can see with your own eyes how we resisted."

On the projection screen, blood dyed the broken city wall red. Countless soldiers were busy going up and down the city wall like ants. From the perspective of looking down from the sky, countless shells drew arcs and fell in the charging column composed of thousands of people.

The land battleship, which was as big as a castle, protected hundreds of brave soldiers and launched a counterattack under the enemy's fierce firepower.

It was an epic battle. Even in the wars between the Golden Family over the years, such a grand and terrifying war scene rarely appeared. In the camera, there was even a fifth-turn strongman who attacked, but was blocked by the fourth-turn warriors who fought desperately. There were also many warriors who faced the range killing moves of the fifth-turn masters without hesitation with their mortal bodies, and blocked their killing.
