Protect Our Clan Leader

The True Immortal Realm captains of the two small tower boats, under the support of other tower boats, personally led the assault elites, tearing through space to rush into the breach, attempting to dismantle the subspace defenses with elite troop tactics.

In less than half a day, they were fiercely expelled by the defenders.

Subsequently, streams of energy light shields continuously surged into the space breach, swiftly repairing the breach blasted open in the spatial wall.

Soon, the space breach was smoothed out, signaling that once again the Atana Tribe’s attack had been thwarted.

Seeing this.

In the command bridge of the Atana giant tower boat’s main ship, Prince Shaman angrily exclaimed, “Useless, truly useless! Such a great opportunity, and yet it was not seized.”

A small team of True Immortals led by the Immortal Clan had fought for several decades without being able to capture it, continually losing troops in the process; his patience had been exhausted.

“Your Highness, please remain calm.” Old Gong, standing by, calmly soothed, “Next time there’s an opportunity, I’ve decided to personally take action.”

“Absolutely not!” Prince Shaman hurriedly said, “The Artifact Spirit within the Crystal Ancient Tribe Ruins is extremely cunning, playing tricks with the Immortal Clan by feigning and deceiving, perhaps still holding some trump cards. I don’t fear losing a few soldiers, but if something happens to you, Old Gong, it would not be worth the loss.”

From this perspective, Prince Shaman is very apprehensive of the Crystal Ancient Tribe.

Old Gong also had slightly furrowed brows.

The Crystal Ancient Tribe was tremendously powerful at its peak, with countless trump cards at their disposal. The concerns of His Highness were also his own. It was for this reason that a war of attrition was initially devised, attempting to force out the opponent’s trump cards.

Unfortunately…

“The Crystal Ancient Tribe Ruins are not our main exploration objective this time, with a very low probability of housing the Heart of the Crystal Source. It might be better to abandon this and focus exclusively on finding the Heart of the Crystal Source.” Old Gong sighed silently in his heart, once again suggesting, “If a ruin with a confirmed Heart of the Crystal Source is found, it would be worth it even if I had to sacrifice myself.”

“No!” Prince Shaman resolutely refused, “We have already invested too much in this Immortal Clan and Crystal Ancient Ruins, I cannot swallow the humiliation of giving up now. I believe this Crystal Ancient Ruin and the Immortal Clan defending it are already at their wit’s end. A few more probing attacks will surely expose their true state, at which point you, Old Gong, can step in and clean up the mess.”

“Very well, it would indeed be a pity to give up.” Old Gong pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, “Even without the Heart of the Crystal Source, this Crystal Ancient Tribe Ruin seems to be of high grade, and the equipment and data within are very valuable and will greatly assist us.”

“And that defiant Immortal Clan, once we capture them, we must let them taste the tortures of our Atana Tribe before finally selling them in the slave market.” Prince Shaman said with hatred.

Whether against the Crystal Ancient Tribe Ruins or this Immortal Clan, Prince Shaman was confident in swiftly defeating them with his formidable fleet. But when the two sides joined forces, they became a tough nut to crack.

How could this not fill him with hatred?

Meanwhile.

Within the subspace of the Crystal Ancient Tribe Ruins.

After just experiencing a fierce battle, the battlefield at the front lines had yet to be cleared and was still a scene of devastation, filled with traces of smoke and fire everywhere.

In the past decades, it is unknown how many fierce battles occurred here, with ruins and debris everywhere, yet even so, one can still faintly discern the grandeur of the past.

The architecture here is characteristic of the Crystal Ancient Tribe style, very unique, almost all appearing as milky white crystals, somewhat resembling the enlarged shape of a cut Spirit Stone, with many places utilizing prismatic structures.

When the light is strong, these prisms reflect the light, crisscrossing into rainbow-like brilliant halos, illuminating the vicinity as if in an enchanting illusion.

Unfortunately, after countless battles, hardly any complete buildings can be seen here, and the once glorious splendor is no more.

And amid these ruins, Princess He Lan was leaning on her sword, issuing commands in a cold and clear voice.

Her armor and cloak were already in tatters, appearing quite disheveled, yet her gaze remained incredibly steadfast as she directed everyone in clearing the battlefield, treating the wounded Divine Martial tribe members, and reconstructing defensive positions.

Under the issuance of one order after another, the defensive positions were constructed at visible speed.

These positions are built with materials from the Crystal Ancient Tribe Ruins, possessing very strong defensive capabilities.

Moreover, the main defense direction was towards the Crystal Ancient Tribe Research Base No. 996, as well as the surrounding Crystal Ancient Energy Cannons and Energy Shield Generators.

If it weren’t for the Crystal Ancient Tribe’s cannons and shields, this Divine Martial Human Race exploration army would have been annihilated long ago.

In fact, over the past forty years, they have utilized nearly all usable treasures acquired from previous exploration ruins; even Immortal Artifacts were brought out without hesitation, employing every possible means to enhance their own strength.

Thanks to this, everyone’s capabilities have improved significantly, enabling them to persist through these years of gruelling battles.

Unfortunately, after so many years, their supplies have almost been depleted, and who knows how much longer they can hold out.
