# Chapter 2626: A Lone Ship Enters the Sea! Ten Thousand Armies Make Way
Although the Triumph Army had been thoroughly beaten down, Jiangnan hadn't forgotten what he was actually here for today!
At this moment, Jiangnan put down the War Horn and put a smile back on his face!
"I'm sure you all understand that the Triumph Legion will face a tough battle in the upcoming Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle. What I just said wasn't entirely a joke either!"
"This war is a rare training opportunity. You don't need to take it too seriously. After all, win or lose, it won't threaten humanity's survival..."
"I'll do my best to keep everyone alive on the battlefield, so there's no burden. Just charge in with all you've got!"
Only then did the expressions of the Triumph Group Army ease slightly, though they still smiled wryly!
Could it be that the Southern God was messing with them again this time?
Jiangnan scanned the crowd, his expression gradually turning serious:
"War has always been cruel. Perhaps this battle will make you all see the gap, understand the cruelty of the starry sky, feel powerless and helpless. The ten thousand races of the starry sky are like thick walls pressing down on you, crushing you completely!"
"But don't be afraid. Don't be fearful. Because I'm here! No matter when, I, Jiangnan, will be everyone's strongest backing, the most solid protective umbrella!"
"As long as you cross those walls, the scenery on the other side is uniquely beautiful~"
"How short is a person's life? How many chances do you get to step onto such a starry stage? Go and become someone you can be proud of!"
"Fight with all your might, leaving no regrets in life!"
The Triumph Army soldiers clenched their fists one by one, smiles returning to their faces!
Yeah? There was no need for lofty goals or immense psychological pressure!
As long as today's self was better than yesterday's, that was enough!
No one spoke, but they stood at attention and saluted Jiangnan!
The morale of the Triumph Legion, after being repeatedly battered and tempered by Jiangnan, had become unbreakable!
Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. You really have a way with words, kid. You actually managed to rally them!
Jiangnan smiled and turned to Yang Jian: "Da Zhi and I are going to the Minghe Star Domain on a business trip. We'll take care of things there!"
"This side is up to Brother Jian. If I haven't come back by the time we enter, just go to the troop staging area first~"
Yang Jian nodded: "Go quick, come quick. These next few days, I'll have the Triumph Group Army go over the information on the ten thousand races of the starry sky again and familiarize themselves with the starry sky combat environment!"
"Ai Jiang's mass production of conventional weapons has yielded quite a bit. They've already been shipped ahead to our defense base on the Sea of Star Embers side!"
"Once the troops are stationed, they can be equipped for the Carbon Alliance Joint Force at any time!"
"The Star Project Unrivaled Army will also join the battlefield this time. Some stronger individuals from certain races in the Star Project also want to join the Unrivaled Army and contribute their strength. What do you think..."
Jiangnan smiled: "That's a good thing. One day they'll have to learn to walk on their own. Let them train too!"
"Tell the Carbon Alliance allies to be prepared. Don't forget, the first battle will begin before the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle officially starts!"
A sly glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes as he gave Jiangnan an OK gesture!
Then Jiangnan and Wang Youzhi left for the Minghe Star Domain on business!
Yang Jian took a deep breath, looking at the Triumph Legion before him with burning eyes!
"Whether the Carbon Alliance can stand up and become the third great ship competing in the starry sky depends on this!"
Time passed slowly, and as the start day of the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle drew nearer, the atmosphere in the starry sky grew increasingly tense!
All races were holding their breath, waiting for the spark to ignite at the start of battle!
The Carbon Alliance had developed for half a year, with member races even expanding to nearly two thousand!
The pace of development far exceeded expectations. Under deep cooperation, the core member races had benefited enormously!
Three days before the battle, personnel in the Sea of Star Embers had been evacuated, and the offensive and defensive battlefield construction was complete!
Outside, armies of various races had already gathered, all waiting for the arrival of the stationing day!
And ever since the Insect Race army had stationed in the troop staging area, the starry sky felt even more cramped!
Even the Dark Cosmos Entity's Abyss Legion had taken their positions. The fleets and war fortresses of the top ten sequences had already stationed outside the Sea of Star Embers!
It was extremely lively!
But no matter how hard everyone strained their eyes, they couldn't see humanity's shadow in the staging area outside!
Everyone was speculating—what was going on with humanity?
These few days were also the critical moment for various races to showcase their strength, capabilities, and foundations!
High morale was immensely helpful for the upcoming offensive and defensive battle!
But considering humanity's foundations, it was understandable that they didn't come. After all, there wasn't much to show!
Based on humanity's current population base, even scraping together everything they had probably couldn't produce a hundred million regular troops!
Wouldn't that just be showing up to embarrass themselves?
But by now, no race dared to underestimate humanity, even if their foundations were lacking!
Just one Jiangnan was enough to make the ten thousand races of the starry sky think twice!
If anyone still underestimated them, the same scenario as the Cosmos Grand Hunt would likely play out again!
The mobile interstellar city used to host this Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, the Saint Law Star Capital, had also taken its position!
It was an extremely massive and magnificent moving city, structured like a spiral pyramid, symmetrical top and bottom, surrounded by ten star rings rotating!
It was much larger than the previously sacrificed Julang City and was a shared asset of the Sacred Law Council!
The last time the Silicon Base hosted the Thousand Stars Festival, not only did they fail to make money, but the city also exploded, resulting in a huge loss!
Added to their recent unpleasantness with the Bose Body, their relationship was very strained. This time, they simply didn't reach out!
The Sacred Law Council had no choice but to foot the bill themselves and bring the Saint Law Star Capital over!
Even in these two days, no one had any peace. The frontline commanders of various races began adjusting their battle plans based on existing information!
The envoys of each race ran themselves ragged, talked their mouths dry, all wanting to accumulate more capital for their race before the battle started!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the eve of the stationing day. Humanity's forces still hadn't arrived!
Now even the Carbon Alliance was getting a bit panicked!
What was going on? They were still counting on Jiangnan to carry them to victory!
But even after waiting until the flowers withered, there was still no sign of them!
...
In the Dimensional Gap, the Mechanical Empire battleship was ready to depart!
The Triumph Legion, the Star Project Unrivaled Army, and over five hundred human Transcendents were all on board!
Half a year had passed since the Cosmos Grand Hunt. Over a hundred new Transcendents had been added to humanity's ranks, injecting fresh blood!
Zhong Yingxue, Xiao Chuihuo, Xiao Laodi, and the others had also emerged from seclusion!
After training in the Time Formation for a full half year, burning through massive resources, the strength improvement of these top experts was undoubtedly enormous!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had reached the peak of Transcendent Phase Six. Wu Liang had reverted to his wild muscular man appearance, clearly having fully absorbed the God's Two Hands!
His level was the highest among the group, already at Transcendent Phase Eight!
Even Mila and Lan had reached the Dao Heaven level!
Especially Lan, who had almost grown into a big girl. Although only half a year had passed on the outside, in the Time Formation, everyone's bodies had aged a full two and a half years!
Now Lan was even taller than Mila, and carrying her might be a bit difficult for Jiangnan!
Only Mila remained the same little girl appearance, unchanged!
Lan looked at her with envy!
Not only had everyone improved in levels, but they had also absorbed many of Qing Ke's secret techniques and the ancient secret arts recorded in the Terminal Database!
Their strength improvement was enormous!
At this moment, Chong Feiyu pouted: "Really, disappearing at such an important time!"
(◦`~´◦) "Could it be that he turned the Minghe Koi into some beautiful girl and is living a happy life over there, ignoring this side?"
Xiong Er broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead:
(•́ω•̀٥) "Brother Nan wouldn't even let a fish go, would he?"
"But judging by that two-armed fish's arm dimension and muscle striation, even if it did turn into a woman, she probably wouldn't be a good one, right?"
Wu Liang glared: (￢益￢ꐦ) "Nonsense! If that were the case, she would definitely be a beloved flower!"
Everyone looked at Wu Liang in horror!
Xiong Er twitched his mouth. He had forgotten about Wu Liang's unique aesthetic...
Just then, Black God's voice rang out in the void!
"You all go first. Da Di and I have run into a little trouble over here. Nothing serious. We'll be there soon..."
Since Black God said so, Yang Jian didn't wait any longer. Better to go first!
The stationing day was about to begin. He waved his hand!
"Set off! Toward the sea of stars!"
The massive Mechanical Empire battleship tore through the void and leaped toward the Sea of Star Embers at warp speed!
...
Outside the Sea of Star Embers, in the crowded troop staging area!
The Mechanical Empire battleship appeared abruptly. On its broad deck, two legions stood in orderly formation!
Over five hundred Transcendents, led by Yang Jian, stood at the very front. On the battleship, humanity's race flag flew proudly in the starry sky!
Compared to other races' massive billions-strong forces and boundless seas of legions!
Humanity's single battleship appeared so solitary and insignificant, like a lone leaf in a boat!
Yet countless gazes turned toward it. The entire staging area fell eerily silent!
The next moment, the sea of legions around the battleship receded like a tide, parting to both sides!
Wherever humanity's battleship sailed, the legions there involuntarily made way!
Straight through to the innermost star boundary line!
No one spoke. The starry sky echoed with the continuous sound of movement!
Now, humanity no longer needed to put on a show to prove its strength!
The scene unfolding before everyone's eyes was the best explanation!
A lone ship enters the sea, ten thousand armies make way!
And this kind of prestige was exactly what Jiangnan and the others had fought for with their fists!
Even though Jiangnan wasn't here today, his might still shook the starry sky!
Making any race dare not overstep in the slightest!
