I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Where are your war leaders? Where are they now?"

Upon hearing Viya's question, one of the tribe's warriors offered to take Viya and Yuhaka to meet the war leaders. Viya then asked the warrior to take her and Yuhaka to meet the war leaders.

The surrounding tribal warriors, witnessing this scene, realized they had missed an opportunity to bring the hero and the apostle along, and were immediately filled with regret.

Led by the tribal warrior, Viya and Yuhaka quickly arrived at the war leaders' side.

On the war leaders' side, upon seeing Yuhaka and Viya arrive, they waved to them and said:

"Hero, Yu-Yu, over here~~!"

Viya waved to the war leaders to greet them, and then asked them about the intelligence regarding the gathering station.

After hearing Viya's question, the war leaders told Viya and Yuhaka what information they knew, and then Viya knew what kind of defense the collection station had.

The outer wall of the gathering station is over 15 meters high, and it is equipped with weapons such as heavy machine guns. Viya learned what heavy machine guns were from Yuhaka. If they are not destroyed, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the tribe's warriors when they attack later.

However, the most important thing is to deal with the heavy firepower and large mechanical guards in the mining station; otherwise, they will have a hard time defeating those things due to their lack of crystal power.

Chapter 562 [A Giant Block of Ice Falls from the Sky!]

In the air, Yuhaka and Viya are thousands of meters above the ground. Yuhaka is floating in the air in an invisible state, staring at the collection station below. Viya, who is attached to Yuhaka, can also see the collection station thousands of meters below through the nerve bundles connected to Yuhaka.

With Yuhaka's exceptional eyesight, Viya couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy looking at the ground defenses and the number of combat personnel at the gathering station. It would be virtually impossible for the tribe to breach the station with its current forces.

Of course, it would be a completely different story if you had Yuhaka.

Viya patted Yuhaka's neck in her third form and said to her:

"Lord Youyou, I'm begging you."

Upon hearing Viya's words, Youhaka nodded in understanding.

“OowoO Ding—!”

As Yuhaka's eyes flashed crimson, the previously clear weather suddenly darkened, extinguishing the already limited light in the world. The mercenaries below the gathering station were puzzled by the sudden darkness, but they didn't care too much; all they cared about was getting their money.

As the sky darkened, a heavy rain began to fall, reducing visibility. However, this had little impact on the tribe's warriors, whose fighting strength increased by 20% in the rain.

After Yuhaka finished these tasks, it began to hover around the collection station. The dense slime mold cocoons on its tail started to secrete secretions, and then one by one, slime mold cocoons shaped like rugby balls fell off Yuhaka's tail. In order to prevent the exploding slime mold from being washed away by the rain and becoming "duds", Yuhaka made the slime mold cocoons a little thicker this time.

However, this makes the slime cocoons of Yuhaka almost like artillery shells. Well... of course, the hardness of Yuhaka's slime cocoons is not as good as those artillery shells, but the thing that Yuhaka's slime cocoons have in common with those artillery shells is that they can explode!

Despite the rain, none of the mercenaries on duty at the gathering station sought shelter, while the security guards from Ambrose's security department huddled under the eaves. This demonstrated the high level of professionalism among these mercenaries.

"Ok?"

A mercenary looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression, as if he sensed something. Then he saw an object faintly glowing red fall from the sky, which startled him so much that he quickly took a few steps back.

boom--!

The moment Yuhaka's slime cocoon hid on the ground, the force of the explosion sent the mercenary flying several meters away. At the same time, loud explosions echoed throughout the gathering station, causing immediate panic among the staff and security guards.

The only ones who weren't too panicked were the mercenaries. After all, mercenaries had been through the battlefield, and they quickly found a way to deal with the situation, taking cover in places where they could withstand the explosions.

To be honest, the mercenaries were also a bit confused. How could they encounter an attack that looked like a bomb blast here?

This left even the mercenaries quite puzzled...

Meanwhile, the war leaders not far from the gathering station also felt a sense of satisfaction watching the bombed gathering station. After all, their tribe had been attacked by the "Heavenly Fire" of the outsiders some time ago, and now seeing those outsiders suffer a similar attack made them feel very happy.

Of course, as exhilarating as it was, preparations for battle still had to be made. The war leaders ordered their tribes' warriors to prepare for battle; it was time to make those outsiders pay the price they deserved.

...............................................................................

Looking down from above, after seeing that the defensive structures below were almost completely destroyed, Viya pointed to a wall and said to Yuhaka:

"Lady Youyou, let's destroy that wall so that the war leaders can launch a surprise attack on those outsiders through that breach."

Upon hearing Viya's words, Yuhaka nodded in understanding. He took a deep breath, and a beam of crimson-black light shot out from his mouth. The mercenaries on the ground witnessed a terrifying crimson-black beam sweep across the gathering station. Wherever the beam passed, everything seemed to be vaporized. Moreover, it left behind a trail of lightning sparks emanating from the crimson-black light, which terrified the mercenaries present.

What was that crimson-black beam of light? Where did it come from? Why was it attacking them?

This puzzled the mercenaries, but just then, one of them noticed a large breach in the wall of their gathering station. At the same moment, the mercenaries heard the shouts of the tribal warriors. Immediately, the mercenary leading the group realized something was terribly wrong and said:

"Oh no! It's those Pandora natives! Guard the entrance, or they'll storm in!"

Upon hearing the words of the mercenary leader, the mercenaries realized that this attack was a premeditated attack. They immediately tried to rush to the wall to prepare their defensive gear, but before they could finish, a giant block of ice suddenly fell from the sky and landed next to several mercenaries. The powerful impact sent them flying.

The mercenaries were completely baffled to see ice blocks suddenly falling from the sky. What the hell was that?! Was it hailing?!

Before the mercenaries could even understand what was happening, a rain of arrows rained down from the sky, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds. The sharp arrowheads pierced through their EVA suits and knocked them to the ground. Then, a large group of tribal warriors, riding creatures unique to Pandora and wielding bows and spears, charged in and began attacking any enemies within their field of vision.

Whether it's mercenaries, security guards, or even unarmed staff members, they are all considered targets for attack.

Chapter 563 [Why launch a direct attack? Isn't assassination more satisfying?]

Not long after Yuhaka breached the wall, tribal warriors riding all sorts of mounts surged through the gap in the wall. The mercenaries near the wall had no way to stop such a large number of tribal cavalry.

In addition, various tribal riders riding flying beasts also appeared in the air above the gathering station, attacking the mercenaries and security guards who were armed, with arrows hitting the security guards who were firing from behind cover.

The mercenaries were clever; they chose to attack the tribal cavalry from cover that could effectively withstand aerial attacks. However, the tribal warriors were not without ways to deal with the mercenaries.

The war leaders, riding their beasts in the air, also noticed the situation as they watched the battle below, but they were not without options.

The war leader turned to his adjutant standing beside him and said:

"Send a signal to the Hero and Lady Youyou."

Upon hearing his war leader's words, the adjutant nodded in understanding. He then took out an arrow from his quiver. Unlike ordinary arrows, this one had a small piece of light crystal attached to its arrowhead. After nocking this special arrow onto his hunting bow, the adjutant shot it toward a building where there were a relatively large number of mercenaries.

With a "whoosh," the arrow in the adjutant's hand struck the building and shattered it. The light crystal also emitted a bright white light the instant it broke.

High above, Yuhaka and Viya also noticed the fleeting white light. Viya immediately understood what it meant and said to Yuhaka:

"Master Youyou, someone below has issued an attack signal. Let's launch an attack, but be careful not to hurt our own people."

Upon hearing Viya's words, Yuhaka nodded in understanding. Then, Yuhaka opened his mouth, and crimson-black lightning began to gather within it. Immediately afterward, a crimson-black beam of light struck the building marked by the lieutenant, instantly splitting the entire building in two. The building then began to slowly collapse.

The mercenaries inside the building were also in a state of panic. The quick-reacting mercenaries jumped out of the windows and used the jetpacks on their waists and feet to slow down and land on the ground. However, the moment they came out, they were attacked by the tribal archers who had been watching them.

Then some mercenaries tried to summon the large mechanical guard located in the underground machine warehouse, but before they could take more than a few steps, the large mechanical guard was turned into scrap metal by a powerful lightning strike.

This first battle at the gathering station only lasted two hours.

................................................... .........................................

After the battle at the gathering station ended, all the humans inside were killed by the tribal warriors. After all, they deeply hated the humans who destroyed their homeland. The heads of all the human corpses were cut off, and they would throw these heads at other gathering stations as a deterrent to demoralize the enemy.

On the Niwei tribe's side, Viya, Yuhaka, and other clansmen watched as the bodies of their fallen warriors floated down the river on rafts. They drew their weapons to pay their respects to the fallen warriors.

Seeing the scene before her, Viya felt a little sad. She wondered if things would have been better if she had taken Yuhaka with her. Would those fallen soldiers have survived?

The war leader, who was standing nearby, noticed Viya's condition and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, saying:

"Hero, this is not your fault. That's how war is; there will always be sacrifices."

As he spoke, the war leader looked at the fallen soldiers and continued:

"And they died on the path of destroying the enemy, which made their deaths glorious; they fought for Pandora."

Hearing the war leader's words, Viya didn't know what to say. But she felt that if she tried a little harder, things might be better. After all, she was now a hero, so shouldn't she be responsible for the safety of the other warriors?

Viya was also puzzled by this...

That night, at the home of Yuhaka and Viya, Viya was thinking about what had happened that day. Some time ago, Viya had specifically gone to ask the Star God about what had happened before, and Pandora understood what was going on after hearing Viya's question.

It was probably because he had previously instructed Yuhaka and the others not to wipe out all the enemies at once, thus preventing the tribe warriors from killing those outsiders. As a result, some tribe warriors did suffer casualties, but the number was small, so it wasn't a significant loss for other tribes. It also provided his children with an opportunity to face other enemies.

Otherwise, who knows when the next opportunity will come.

Of course, it's best to avoid a next time; humans and other extraterrestrial life should stay far away from us.

Pandora thought about Viya's question for a moment. She also asked Zelus about Yuhaka's strength. According to Zelus, Yuhaka alone could easily take down all the human bases on her.

This gave Pandora a bit of a headache, since she needed to leave some people for her children to gain experience; she couldn't let Yhaka wipe out the enemy all at once.

Pandora also asked Viya to think of some combat methods, such as not relying solely on Yhaka's air raids on enemy camps. For example, they suggested using methods like infiltration, assassination, and poisoning to deal with human camps, which would reduce casualties considerably. If done well, they could take down the human camps without losing a single person.

Upon hearing Pandora's words, Viya seemed to suddenly understand.

Exactly! If you're worried about other warriors sacrificing themselves, you can set traps, poison them, or assassinate them to eliminate those outsiders!

With that thought in mind, Viya thanked Pandora and left the temple.

Chapter 564 [Venom, I added a tiny bit of venom]

"Assassination, huh..."

During the second day of the meeting, Viya also proposed using assassination as a means to deal with the outsiders, in order to reduce the casualties of warriors in each tribe.

Upon hearing Viya's plan, the war leaders present also fell into thought. After all, unlike medieval knights, they would not follow any rules and fight humans head-on, as that would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

The weapons wielded by the Outlanders are very powerful. They can fire a rapid-fire series of small arrows that are almost invisible, and these arrows are very powerful, with a large number of bullets and a high firing rate.

Another type is a weapon that can fire powerful arrows, although the arrows are much slower and can be easily dodged, but it is still a very powerful weapon.

There was also a group of unknown things that, despite not seeming to have any murderous aura or presence, were extremely resilient and sometimes couldn't be killed even by several arrows.

The presence of heroes and apostles from other star god worlds made them feel inflated, causing them to forget about assassination, sneak attacks, and poisoning tactics.

After Viya's words, the war leaders present also remembered this method. Soon, they began to reflect on their previous methods, realizing that they had been too reckless and that it was time to redefine their battle plans.

............................................................................

At an outpost location, several tribal warriors were secretly lying in ambush. They were a race that could produce toxins. They quietly approached the warehouse located at the outpost. Because the previous gathering station and outpost had no connection with other gathering stations and outposts, they had no idea that some gathering stations and outposts had been destroyed.

At the same time, they were unaware that the space station located on the satellite had already been captured.

It's unknown whether the mercenaries at the other outposts, now in ruins, were also lacking in vigilance. Most of them were on guard around the perimeter rather than the interior, probably assuming the natives wouldn't attack them.

But in fact, they really dare to do it.

After infiltrating the outpost's warehouse, the troops saw the mercenaries' food reserves, but fell silent upon seeing them.

They had never seen any food supplies for the mercenaries. Most of their food consisted of canned food and compressed biscuits, which were characterized by their airtightness. Once opened, they were basically the kind of food that would make them impossible to defeat.

The members of the infiltration team immediately wore awkward expressions. Clearly, the food didn't seem like the kind of food suitable for poisoning them, which was a tricky problem for the infiltration team.

Fortunately, one of the infiltrators discovered something that could be used to poison the water. There were several bottled water containers in a corner, the kind with removable caps. So they unscrewed the caps (according to Yuhaka). Then they inserted their jellyfish-like tentacles into the containers, and soon a colorless and odorless liquid seeped in. After doing all this, the infiltrators withdrew.

Not long after the infiltrators left, two mercenaries went into the warehouse and took out two barrels of water. Although most mercenaries drink alcohol and other beverages and rarely drink water, they still need water for things like instant noodles and cooking.

Soon when it was time to eat, the mercenaries came to the canteen and lined up to get their food. Less than two hours later, when all the mercenaries had finished eating and were getting back to work, one of them suddenly clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground. Many of the mercenaries in the outpost experienced similar symptoms, and soon all the mercenaries in the outpost were poisoned and none survived.

Only automated patrolling mechanical guards remain inside the outpost...

Meanwhile, in the sky above, Viya and Yuhaka floated in mid-air, watching the scene below. After seeing that all the aliens in the entire outpost were dead, Viya seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that this operation could proceed without relying on herself and Yuhaka, which reassured Viya.
