Therefore, this planet has not received significant investment from the Empire; it is not a primary planet in the Wild Bull Star Realm.

This kind of marginal planet.

Could be taken by other enemies of the Empire at any time, and has long been in a cycle of being taken and retaken.

No matter what the race.

It's impossible to build infrastructure on Green Sea Star.

That's why the current situation has arisen.

The people of Green Sea Star, apart from their advanced weapons, are otherwise quite backward.

Baiyu and Loloya spent a whole night understanding the difficulties faced by this group of the City Lord's followers.

Their faction is called the Cuiye Race, and everyone in the clan worships the City Lord of the Great City.

Of course.

The mortal enemy of this race is a faction called the Black Wood Race, who have occupied the ancestral land of the Cuiye Race, leading to a deep-seated enmity between the two.

However.

Baiyu and Loloya learned.

Neither the Black Wood Race nor the Cuiye Race belongs to the humans but are affiliated races in the Human Imperial, tree-like beings.

They are not true tree beings.

But due to their special physique and appearance, they are referred to as tree-like beings.

"Divine Envoys, as long as you can deal with the demon summoned by their pact, we will be able to defeat them."

At this time.

The leader of the Cuiye Race said to Baiyu and Loloya.

"Okay, we'll take care of this. Aren't you going to reclaim the ancestral land? Let's set off."

Loloya agreed without hesitation.

With the help of the Divine Envoys, almost the entire Cuiye Race mobilized, starting their sacred war to reclaim their ancestral land.

The ancestral land is not close to where they currently reside.

It's about several hundred kilometers away.

However.

This group of Cuiye people had obviously been preparing for this moment for a long time and brought out a gigantic wooden chariot.

Although it's unclear how the chariot is constructed inside.

However.

When it started running, it moved incredibly fast, not losing to those steel creations at all.

Behind this chariot.

Followed dozens of large and small wooden chariots, all filled with Cuiye people, who were raising their weapons high and cheering enthusiastically. Anyone who saw this scene without awareness would think they had already won a victory.

"It seems that the Black Wood Race also has external support, as that Cuiye person just mentioned."

Baiyu said lowly to Loloya while seated on the chariot.

Loloya was completely unfazed: "No worries, it's probably just some summoned creature, and it shouldn't be hard to deal with. In an environment like Green Sea Star, it's hard to provide valuable sacrifices, even if the Black Wood Race truly worships some powerful deity, it's impossible for them to communicate with it."

Communicating with a deity requires a price.

Offerings.

This is the most common method.

Considering the situation of the Cuiye Race, no matter how much stronger the Black Wood Race might be, they can't be too overpowering. If Baiyu and Loloya hadn't come to this planet to understand the Empire's situation, they wouldn't have been mistaken for Divine Envoys.

However.

Thinking of this, Baiyu felt puzzled: "On this planet where resources are so scarce, and there's no Empire civilization at all.

At most, the Empire has built a few military forts here as outposts.

Can we obtain useful information?

The City Lord sending us here, did not make a mistake, right?"

Loloya said: "There should be no problem, there might be some Empire's leftover information database or something on this planet.

The City Lord sent us here.

Firstly because Wood Iron Star is safe, secondly because on other Empire-controlled planets, even if you find a lot of Empire data, it's very hard to bring back.

After all, the human Empire's technology is extremely advanced.

It can easily detect that we are outsiders."

Once discovered.

You could very well be treated as spies for other hostile races by the Empire, after all, the two currently have no identity whatsoever and are considered undocumented by the Empire.

Furthermore.

The understanding of the Human Empire is extremely lacking; if they were asked any questions, they wouldn't be able to answer.

In such a situation.

It would be strange if they weren't captured.

And once captured, facing such a colossal entity as the Human Empire, there really would be nowhere to escape."

As the two talked and adjusted their state.

Though Loloya appeared relaxed.

Baiyu felt that on other planets, it would still be necessary to stay cautious.

...

Soon.

After half a day's journey, the Cuiye Race arrived at the Black Wood Race's territory.

The Black Wood people resemble the Cuiye people by seventy to eighty percent, but their skin is darker, like charred wood.

Once they met.

The leaders of both sides began to speak gibberish, but neither Loloya nor Baiyu understood their exchange.

Judging by their intense emotional fluctuations.

They were likely hurling threats at each other.

Subsequently.

It seems the negotiations fell apart, and the leader of the Cuiye Race raised his pulse rifle, shouted out loud, and then a group of Cuiye warriors charged like a tide towards the wooden-built stronghold.

Honestly speaking.

A group of warriors armed with advanced technology weapons assaulting a primitive wooden-built stronghold causes an incredibly farcical sensation.

A complete de-escalation strike.

Baiyu even thought the stronghold couldn't withstand even the first round of bombardments, and would turn to ashes before the electric pulse firearms and various RPGs.

However, at that moment.

An unexpected scene unfolded.

Though the guns in the hands of the Cuiye warriors were continuously firing, the attacks landed on the wooden stronghold but were stopped by a light blue ripple shield.

The attacks only created layers of ripples upon it.

"Protective Spirit Array?"

Baiyu said in astonishment.

Loloya nodded: "Moreover, this Protective Spirit Array is inscribed on the wood, and covers the whole stronghold with a huge Spirit Array.

Of course.

You could say this stronghold itself is a Spirit Array."

It was Baiyu's first time seeing it played like this.

It must be said.

Alien creatures sure have many tricks.

Though the two were amazed, the Cuiye Race, who had been battling the Black Wood Race for years, were not surprised. They quickly found the weak spot in the Spirit Array and concentrated their attack there, breaking the array's defense.

The entire Spirit Array was tottering.

Taking advantage of this moment.

The Cuiye warriors charged into the stronghold.

From the exchange just now, it was evident that whether in terms of physical fitness, combat literacy, or tactical coordination, the Cuiye warriors indeed had the upper hand.

Evidently.

The defeat the Cuiye Race experienced before was due to the demon summoned by the leader's mouth.

"Let's go, see for yourself."

At this moment, Loloya jumped off the chariot.

However.

They hadn't gone a few steps when a massive dark aura burst forth from the stronghold, with dozens of enormous black beams shooting skyward like giant dragons, forming a gigantic black monster in the sky.

"Divine Envoy, act quickly, that's the demon!"

From afar.

The cries of the Cuiye people echoed.
