MARTIAL PEAK 5362
The Human Race also suffered heavy casualties. In such a great battle, casualties were unavoidable, and from time to time, Battleships would be destroyed.
Fortunately, the Human Race had prepared for many years, so every team's Team Leader had a backup Battleship.
After one of the Battleships was destroyed, they immediately summoned their backup Battleship and continued fighting the Black Ink Clan.
In the past, the Human Race didn't have such conditions. Every Battleship required a massive amount of resources to refine, and the Human Race's soldiers were living a tight life. Cultivation Resources had to be used sparingly, so how could they have any spare resources to refine a Battleship?
However, ever since the Void Yin Yang Mirror began to spread to all the mountain passes, the issue of resources no longer bothered the Human Race.
Coupled with the plundering of all the important areas of the Black Ink Clan, the Human Race's resources were now fully available.
This was also the reason why the overall strength of the Human Race's soldiers had improved significantly over the past several hundred years.
In terms of supply of resources, there was no need to worry about cultivation.
On the Great Evolution Pass' side, besides the elite teams like Dawn, every other team had their own backup Battleship.
The reason why the elit squad does not have it was because the Battleships of the elite squads were specially customized by Artifact Refining Great Grandmaster. The various Spirit Arrays and Artifacts on the Battleships had all been modified with countless battle merits. If the situation was so bad that even the Battleships of the elite squads were destroyed, the Human Race's defeat would not be far off. In such a situation, whether or not there was a backup Battleship wasn't a big deal.
The Golden Crow's cry rang out across the battlefield as the sun leapt up and illuminated the surrounding area. Even the Ink Foce was unable to block it, so when the sun exploded, a large number of Black Ink Clan cultivators were reduced to dust.
Yang Kai breathed lightly as he raised his spear and looked around, seeing the dispirited faces of the Eighth Order cultivators in the middle of the battlefield, as well as the Black Ink Clan's army gathered beside the ships.
The battle situation was extremely tense.
Before the expedition began, everyone knew that this was a tough battle, and it would not be easy to win.
Tens of thousands of Great Evolution soldiers were fighting a bloody battle for the future of the Human Race, all for the sake of long term peace, even if they had to die, they will not hesitate.
However, the appearance of a Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple was too surprising. If it weren't for that Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple interfering, the situation might not have been like this.
Although the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord could use the power of the Ink Nest to contend with the Old Ancestor, without the help of the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple, the Old Ancestor would have the strength to restrain the Royal Lord while simultaneously dealing with the Territory Lords.
As long as the Old Ancestor was able to restrain several Territory Lords, the Eighth Order masters would be able to break the stalemate.
But now, it was impossible. Under the joint attack of the Royal Lord and the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple, the Old Ancestor was powerless to do anything.
Yang Kai grit his teeth and turned his gaze towards the Black Ink Clan's King City.
He couldn't deal with a Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple.
Even if it was the Territory Lords, with his current situation, he would at most be able to contend with one of them if he went all out, so it was meaningless. Rather than that, it would be better for him to use his advantage to kill the Black Ink Clan's Feudal Lord.
However, if he could destroy the Ink Nest in the Black Ink Clan's King City, preventing the Territory Lords from borrowing the power of the Ink Nest, the deadlock would be broken.
Once the Territory Lords' Ink Nest was destroyed, they would no longer be able to rely on external forces, and the situation of the Eighth Order Garrison Chief would be much better.
It could even be said that… if there was a chance to destroy the Royal Lord's Ink Nest, the Old Ancestor might have a chance to kill him.
However, wanting to enter the Black Ink Clan's King City and destroy the Ink Nest was not an easy task. Even in this chaotic battlefield, Yang Kai could clearly feel the aura of the Black Ink Clan's Territory Lord from the King City.
The Ink Nest was such an important existence, so how could the Black Ink Clan not have a Territory Lord guarding it?
According to the estimations of the Human Race's upper echelons, the Black Ink Clan had a total of seventy Territory Lords, equivalent to the Eighth Order Garrison Chief, and more than twenty Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples.
However, the number of Territory Lords and Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples who had participated in this battle was far fewer.
At least twenty Territory Lords remained in the King City to guard the Ink Nest.
Such a force was extremely powerful, and with the current situation, guarding the Ink Nest was almost guaranteed.
The reason why so many Territory Lords were left behind was to guard against the Eighth Order Human Race masters. Just like how the Human Race judged the strength of the Black Ink Clan's higher-ups, the Black Ink Clan also judged the number of Eighth Order Human Race masters.
The Human Race had yet to send out their masters, so how could the Black Ink Clan dare to go all out?
Both of them had a large number of experts guarding their respective important locations in order to prevent the other party from causing trouble.
Although Yang Kai wanted to cause trouble in the King City, with so many Territory Lords present, he didn't dare to take any risks.
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard Xiang Shan's voice, "King City, Ink Nest!"
Yang Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He wanted him to go to the King City and destroy the Black Ink Clan's Ink Nest.
It seemed that Xiang Shan was not the only one who had thought of a way to break out of this situation.
No, with Xiang Shan's ability, he had probably thought of this long ago, but had been considering how to act. Now that he had given the order, he should have a countermeasure.
This Eighth Order Regiment Commander, which had been dormant for three thousand years, had displayed an unparalleled talent for strategy as soon as he emerged. Over two hundred years ago, the Great Evolution East and West Army could be said to have been led by him to defeat the Black Ink Clan, establishing a great advantage for the Human Race in the Great Evolution War Zone. This advantage had continued until now, and was also the foundation for the Great Evolution Army's expedition.
Yang Kai admired Xiang Shan greatly.
He couldn't lead an army into battle, charging forward alone was his forte.
Currently, all the Eighth Order Human Race masters were being watched, and no one was able to go to the Black Ink Clan's King City to stir up trouble. Yang Kai, a Seventh Order, was the best candidate, and this Seventh Order was no ordinary Seventh Order. As long as he could seize this opportunity, he would definitely succeed.
The Ink Nest did not have much protection, so as long as Yang Kai had the opportunity to approach it, he could easily destroy a few.
Therefore, under the command of Xiang Shan, Yang Kai didn't hesitate to rush towards the King City.
He didn't dare to make too much noise, afraid he would be targeted by the Black Ink Clan's army.
At the same time, five million kilometers away from the King City, under the control of twenty Eighth Order Open Heaven masters, Great Evolution Pass was still slowly rotating. The various Spirit Arrays and Artifacts arranged on the city walls were constantly pouring towards the Black Ink Clan's King City, forcing them to split up and defend.
The Great Evolution Pass's surprise attack wasn't just a simple blow, it also provided the Human Race with a powerful backer. It had both offensive and defensive capabilities and was a great killing weapon on this battlefield.
The existence of Great Evolution Pass had restrained a large portion of the Black Ink Clan's forces.
Yang Kai circled around one battle ring after another, closing in on the King City without leaving a trace. He didn't know what Xiang Shan's plans were, but since he had given the order, he must have made some arrangements.
All he could do now was trust Xiang Shan and find an opportunity to act.
At this moment, a roar resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Go kill them, kill all those Eighth Order!"
This was the roar of the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord.
It wasn't just the humans who were seeking a way out, the Black Ink Clan was also seeking a way out.
To the Human Race, destroying the Ink Nest in the King City was the key to breaking through this situation, but to the Black Ink Clan, killing the Eighth Order was the key.
Perhaps the Black Ink Clan didn't have such capital before, but now they did.
That Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple!
During the early stages of the battle, this old man had been hiding in the shadows, pretending to be an Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple as he fought against Cha Pu, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Human Race's Old Ancestor. Unfortunately, Smiles Old Ancestor had been on guard against him, and his sword strike had failed to achieve its intended effect. Instead, he had exposed himself and was pulled into the fray by Smiles Old Ancestor.
Now that he and the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord had joined forces, although they had suppressed Smiles Old Ancestor, continuing to fight like this was not a good idea.
Rather than being entangled with Smiles Old Ancestor here, it would be better to take out an Eighth Order Human Race master.
With his current strength, no one could stop him from attacking the Eighth Order Garrison Chiefs that were fighting the Territory Lords.
As the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord roared, he did his best to entangle Smiles Old Ancestor so that the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple could escape.
The reason why he had shouted was because he wanted to use this opportunity to disturb Smiles Old Ancestor.
However, contrary to his expectations, in the face of his entanglement, Smiles Old Ancestor didn't resist at all, taking advantage of the situation and releasing the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple from the battle ring, releasing a Secret Technique in her hand to bombard the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord.
The Black Ink Clan Royal Lord's heart skipped a beat as he faintly felt that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, the Human Race's Old Ancestor should not have allowed the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple to leave, but she had done so…
This unreasonable choice made the Royal Lord uneasy.
He had suffered too much at the hands of this woman, so any abnormalities would make him wary.
However, he didn't have time to think too much about it. Smiles Old Ancestor's attacks were fierce, so he had to resist with all his might, so how could he dare be distracted?
Not only him, even the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple was slightly startled, but his opponent's choice was also to his liking, so he quickly turned around and charged towards the nearest Eighth Order master.
At this moment, the Eighth Order was covered in blood. Just like Xu Linggong, he had been fighting one against two, but his foundation was much stronger than Xu Linggong's, so even if he was fighting one against two, the situation wasn't too bad.
Afterwards, he used the Evil-Breaking Divine Lance to resist the attacks of the two Territory Lords and desperately killed one of them.
Now that he was seriously injured, it was difficult for him to fight with another Territory Lord.
A sharp aura locked onto him, and before the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple could even reach him, he slashed his sword towards him from afar, the power of this sword tearing space apart.
The sword qi not only enveloped this Eighth Order Garrison Chief but also affected the Territory Lord who was fighting him.
The Territory Lord's expression changed drastically as he cursed the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple in his heart, but his movements didn't slow down in the slightest. The Ink Force in his body surged as he quickly retreated, trying to avoid being enveloped by the sword qi.
In the next instant, his body went stiff.
All of a sudden, powerful auras appeared from all directions and surrounded him.
Eighth Order masters!
How could there be so many more Eighth Order masters!
It turned out… the Human Race already had a plan to deal with this situation.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, a fist and a palm landed on his body, causing him to cough up blood.
Although he was instantly injured, his life was not in danger.
However, at this moment, the Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple's sword attack had already arrived!
"No!" The Black Ink Clan's Territory Lord roared as he pushed forward with all his strength, wanting to block this sword strike.
However, how could a heavily wounded Territory Lord do anything? When the sword aura enveloped him, the Black Ink Clan's Territory Lord's massive body was instantly cut in half as a thick sword qi cut off his vitality.
