Chapter 2436: Tough to Handle
Tianhui Star said coldly: "Release!"
The total points of humanity were surging so fiercely that the two factions were indeed getting anxious!
If they let it continue unchecked, humanity would solidly take fourth place. But faced with Jiangnan, that big trouble, they really had no good solutions!
Since the angels had a way, they might as well listen!
But they absolutely would not do anything that harmed the interests of the Star River Army!
Everyone who came in was a shrewd operator!
Atiya quickly said: "I don't mean to deal with Jiangnan directly. We don't have that ability anyway!"
"All we need to do is eliminate the other three human teams, break them apart separately. With only Jiangnan left alone, humanity's efficiency in gaining points will drop significantly!"
"Naturally, they'll sink during the prolonged battle!"
Anqu looked wary: "You're full of crap! Attack the other human contestants? What difference does that make from directly attacking Jiangnan?"
"Wouldn't he still come knocking afterward? Don't try to trick us. If that's what you're suggesting, you can die now!"
Atiya said urgently: "I didn't say you have to do it yourselves! Don't you understand using others to kill?"
"Among the group armies, there are several large, powerful ones composed of top hundred sequence members. They're not weak, and can even contend with the major clans!"
"Their threat is more direct than ours. If things continue like this, either the major clans will harvest them, or humanity will come knocking!"
"They have ample reason to attack human contestants and eliminate the threat!"
Yaogen sneered coldly: "Group armies? Attack human contestants? Do they have the guts?"
What the major clans dared not do, would they?
Atiya sneered sinisterly: "They have no choice but to dare. If they don't attack the human contestants, we'll directly attack their group armies and devour them!"
"The group armies are doomed! They only have two paths: one is to be crushed by the major clans immediately and eliminated, the other is to clear out the human contestants, giving them a chance to survive!"
"What do you think they'll choose? There's only one path. We can give them some appropriate support!"
"When the group armies and human teams have fought to mutual destruction, we clean up the mess. It eliminates the human teams and gets rid of the annoying strong group armies. Isn't that perfect?"
Tianhui Star clicked his tongue in admiration: Good strategy—drive a wolf to swallow a tiger, use others to kill. This way, the top ten sequences won't have to act; the group armies will do it!"
"And we won't have to pay much!"
The group armies are caught between the major clans and humanity, in an awkward middle position, threatened from both sides. So force them to fight humanity?"
"One more problem: if the human teams are surrounded and ask for help, Jiangnan will certainly not sit by. If he goes to support..."
Atiya cackled coldly: "Don't worry about that. Jiangnan will be unable to extricate himself at that time. Someone will be responsible for holding him back. By the time he finishes dealing with that, the other human teams will already be eliminated!"
"Don't forget why we got into trouble with Jiangnan in the first place—to get the support of the Bose clan!"
"As for Jiangnan's later revenge, you don't need to worry. We've found not just you—each of us only needs to focus on dealing with one human team!"
Anqu's eyes flickered: If they could really use others to kill and eliminate most of the human contestants, this deal would definitely be worth it!
After all, in the end, they would inevitably clash with Jiangnan. First, let humanity sink and remove one competitor!
"Give me the details?"
...
Meanwhile, at the Steel Group Army, this was a large group army mainly composed of material-type lifeforms like the Metal Clan, Crystal Clan, Carbon Silk Clan, and Tungsten Armor Clan!
All were major clans, the dominant type within the group armies, with strong strength!
When encountering other group armies, they were basically no threat. Their only concerns were the threat from the major clans and avoiding Jiangnan showing up!
At this moment, the Steel Group Army was on full alert. The leaders of the several major clans looked displeased and were currently in talks with Wujie'er, Chong Yunyun, and Dihuang!
Wujie'er squinted with a smile: "It's like this. I need your Steel Group Army to attack the human teams and devour them!"
"Of course, we will secretly support the Steel Group Army. Once you eat them, we can guarantee your group army survives until the end of the prolonged battle period. The major clans will leave you for last!"
"You can also earn more points in the meantime!"
Ling Ren, the leader of the Carbon Silk Clan, gritted his teeth: "You want us to be your pawns? Why should we? We don't want to provoke humanity either!"
"If you don't want to do it, why should we? My Steel Group Army..."
Dihuang sneered coldly: "Why? Because if you don't act, the Angel Clan and the Bastard Army will directly attack your Steel Group Army!"
"Your group army won't survive today—you'll be eliminated immediately! Surrounded by three clans, how long can your people hold out?"
"If you're eliminated now, can you still keep your sequence positions? This is not a negotiation—it's a threat!"
At this point, even the leaders of the Metal Clan and Crystal Clan had expressions turning grim!
Chong Yunyun said flatly: "We're not asking you to attack Jiangnan. Just a hundred or so humans. With your group army's strength, with careful preparation, can't you take them?"
"It shouldn't even cost much, right? If you don't fight, the human teams will eventually come for you anyway. You're just moving the timeline up!"
"Do this well, and you'll gain our promise to survive until the end of the prolonged battle. How many points can you earn in that time? Need I say more?"
Ling Ren smiled bitterly: "Do we have a choice?"
The Tungsten Armor leader gritted his teeth: "Just over a hundred humans. Can they turn the sky over? We'll have to fight sooner or later. We'll take them!"
Wujie'er wasn't the only one running around. Atiya, backed by the Star River Army, was also rallying powerful group armies!
They were determined to eliminate all three human teams except Jiangnan's!
These group armies, even if unwilling to be used as pawns, had no choice. If they didn't attack the human teams, they would be directly eliminated by the joint major clans!
They had to do it. Once successful, they would earn the qualification to survive until the end of the prolonged battle!
...
At this moment, the Triumph Group Army had run into another weakened group army and was encircling them for a major kill!
Everyone was charging forward, essentially snatching monsters. As they were cleaning up the battlefield, a golden light flew toward them!
"What the hell? Angels again? Aren't they annoying? How long has it been since they left, and they're already back looking for trouble?"
Qing Ke, who was flipping through backpacks, saw He Ye flying over and frowned slightly!
"What do you want again? You're not welcome here. Can't give up and still want to try me?"
Qing Ke had already reached for the small pickaxe hanging at her waist!
If he bothers me again, I'll knock him dead!
He Ye quickly raised his hands in surrender, sweat beading on his forehead:
"How could that be? As they say, no fight, no friendship. I came this time to make friends with you. Can we talk?"
But Qing Tian, the leader of the Star Farming Clan, waved his hand in disgust:
"Go, go. We have nothing to talk about. We'll do our fighting, and you just don't bother us!"
The people around joined in: "Exactly! Not every random trash can be friends with our Child of Destiny!"
He Ye's expression was awkward as he was about to speak. But beside him, in the void, Zhong Xu's figure appeared abruptly!
Holding a ten-colored heavy sword, she gently stroked the blade, her eyes icy cold:
"Can you hurry up? I'm on a tight schedule!"
The entire Triumph Group Army fell silent. Everyone retreated sharply, forming a circle, their faces turning pale!
A Bose? And the famous Star Burial Master, Zhong Xu?
Even Qing Ke's small face grew serious. She pulled out her small pickaxe and gripped it!
He Ye grinned: "Can we talk now? I said I came to make friends. Everyone, don't be nervous!"
Qing Ke frowned:
"What do you want from me?"
Zhong Xu looked Qing Ke up and down. This one? The so-called Child of Destiny? Dressed like a country bumpkin. Is she really that creepy, enough to restrain Jiangnan?
To appear less weak, Qing Ke even puffed out her chest and glared back!
He Ye laughed: "I wonder if Miss Qing Ke is interested in maintaining justice in the starry sky, world peace, and saving countless lives from catastrophe?"
Qing Ke: "Huh???"
Is this angel's brain short-circuited?
Coming all this way to turn back just to say that to me?
"Not interested in the slightest!"
He Ye's mouth twitched: "Ahem. You know Jiangnan, right? Ever since he debuted in the starry sky, he has committed two major starry sky catastrophes, slaughtering billions of lives for his own selfish gains!"
"He is a demon walking the starry sky, a living calamity! During the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, your Star Farming Clan also suffered considerable losses, right?"
Qing Ke tilted her head: "Not really. That day, our clan held a harvest festival, and everyone returned to the clan for the ceremony. Although a few Thousand Stars garrison planets exploded, there were no casualties..."
"It's just that a lot of farmland was destroyed. Quite a pity!"
He Ye swallowed hard:
"What about the Beimian Catastrophe? When Jiangnan's black hole jet erupted, your Star Farming Clan's losses..."
Qing Ke still shook her head: "No? All our clan members evacuated with the large migration before the Beimian Catastrophe occurred. No casualties. We just lost some shops and farmland. Such a waste of good land. Ai, I..."
He Ye: !!!
Damn it, can this conversation even continue?
Why do you keep talking about farmland? Do you love farming that much?
How can your luck be this good? In both major catastrophes, my Angel Clan suffered every time!
"Don't you think Jiangnan has done too many evil deeds and needs to be punished, to face justice?"
"Don't you think his actions are brutal and outrageous? Isn't he a demon?"
Qing Ke propped her chin in thought:
"I've never met him, so how would I know? I've heard people say he's quite naughty, but what does that have to do with me?"
He Ye slapped his forehead. Tough to handle, indeed!
