Chapter 2627: It's Been Killing Me
But at this moment, Xiao Zhen, Qin Shou and the others were panicking inside, completely uncertain!
Looking around, it was all soldiers everywhere, no end in sight. It was hard to find even one who hadn't reached Star-Breaking in their army!
Looking back at their own side, there was no comparison!
Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they were still greatly shocked when they actually saw the scale of the starry sky war!
Only by truly being on the scene could one feel the oppressive and restless atmosphere!
When they looked at the Insect Race, Qin Shou and the others almost went blind on the spot!
The number of people on this side was less than a single detachment of the marching insects the Insect Race used to pull their nests!
During the Cosmos Grand Hunt, the number of insect soldiers the Insect Race produced in half a month was already exaggerated!
But compared to the scale of the Insect Race army in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, it could be said to be the difference between a peck of rice and the vast ocean!
The Insect Race had never feared large-scale wars!
Ye Xinghe's mouth twitched as he muttered quietly:
(ﾉ)￢﹏￢) "What the hell, do they need this many? Nan Shen still understated it!"
"This number is terrifying. If there were a roster, you could read it until you die and still not finish by the 18th great-grandson. How long would it take to cut through all of them?"
Qin Shou rolled his eyes: (꒪ั益꒪ั*) "Tsk, calm down, they're allies! Cut what cut!"
Ye Xinghe was taken aback, then his face darkened.
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Oh, then never mind..."
Looking at Xiao Chuihuo and the others, they all stood with hands behind their backs, calm expressions, as if not surprised by such a scene.
The Mechanical Empire warship drove straight to the front, mingling with the camps of the top ten sequences.
Only now did everyone have the mind to observe their surroundings. After all, the construction of the Sea of Star Embers was entirely outsourced by humans, and they had hardly ever been there.
They saw that at this moment, huge Star Boundary Steles were erected around the Sea of Star Embers.
And between the steles, energy barriers connected them, stretching into endless distance, forming the Star Territory Line.
It surrounded the entire Sea of Star Embers. Once the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle started, the area inside the Star Territory Line became the battlefield.
Even if the two sides fought fiercely inside, once outside the Star Territory Line, they couldn't fight.
Looking into the distance, the Sea of Star Embers had been built up by the Starry Sky Races to be exceptionally prosperous.
One could vaguely see distinct defense zones for each race, erected Star Chain defense walls, various war fortresses, all making their own star zones as solid as iron.
The most conspicuous might be the extremely eye-catching Star Ember Tower at the very center of the Sea of Star Embers.
It stood tall, piercing deep into the starry sky, its surface covered in a layer of starlight, no one knew what it was for.
However, around that Star Ember Tower, there seemed to be no race defense zones, so it was a bit empty.
And the troop staging area outside the Sea of Star Embers was equally lively.
To prevent unexpected situations, almost all races had set up dedicated reinforcement points and supply points outside the Sea of Star Embers.
Ensuring they could support the Sea of Star Embers battlefield at any time.
In previous editions, they used Bose Starlight Navigation and Silicon Speed Starlight Navigation for troop transport and material transfer.
The Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle was not a true starry sky war, so the two giants wouldn't resort to extreme measures like sealing the star paths.
But if it really came to blows, no one would care about that.
Although the Starry Sky Races could all use the star paths, in previous editions, both starlight navigation companies would drastically raise prices, fleecing everyone.
But not this time, because the human Alternate Dimension Starlight Navigation had come in to stir things up.
If the two raised prices, everyone would naturally go to the Alternate Dimension Starlight Navigation, and they would earn even less.
Such a situation actually saved many races a lot of money.
And with the arrival of humans, the great races at the front had mixed feelings.
Noah and Man Ti were a bit uneasy. Where was Jiangnan? Why hadn't he come?
Could he have been secretly taken out by those great races?
Or was there a problem with the Netherworld Race?
If they were missing such an invincible bug in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, the Carbon Alliance's value would be greatly reduced.
Noah finally couldn't help it and tilted his head to speak:
(◕◔д◔ิ) "Where's Jiangnan? Why haven't I seen him? Suddenly not hearing his arrogant provocations, I feel a bit unaccustomed!"
Qian Li and the others couldn't help but darkly look at Noah.
Pfft! Isn't that just being cheap?
Just as Yang Jian was about to respond, a space rift suddenly opened on the Mechanical Empire warship.
Jiangnan and Wang Youzhi stepped out from it.
Jiangnan looked at Noah with a smile in his eyes:
(◦ಡωಡ) "What's up, Brother Noah? Miss me that much? How could a big show like this miss me, Jiangnan?"
The familiar voice rang out, and quite a few Star Devourers turned to spit, looking disgusted.
As for the Carbon Alliance, they all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts, instantly at ease.
After all, Jiangnan's importance to the Carbon Alliance went without saying.
Jiangnan looked around with his hands behind his back, eyes full of excitement:
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Oh hoho~ Such a big scene? Built so splendidly? Isn't that wasteful? Just thinking about personally destroying the Sea of Star Embers that the Starry Sky Races worked so hard to build~"
"Just thinking about it is already exciting!"
As soon as he said that, the faces of the various commanders darkened even more, and another wave of resentment points refreshed.
Even the Sacred Law Star started moving aside, trying to stay as far from Jiangnan as possible.
Countless eyes fell on Jiangnan, sizing him up, but the more they looked, the colder the hearts of the myriad races grew.
The Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle didn't allow Star Devourer-level participants, and Jiangnan, recognized across the starry sky as invincible below Star Devourer, was undoubtedly the most noteworthy point.
His strength would directly affect everyone's action strategies.
But the more they looked, the more chilled they became.
This was just too damn strong! Only half a year had passed!
Were humans' training speeds this fast?
At the end of the Cosmos Grand Hunt, Jiangnan was only Transcendent Six, and now he was Transcendent Ten!
And from the restrained but evident aura, he had improved far beyond just his level.
And he was already at Ten, yet hadn't become Star Devourer? A normal Star Breaker with this level of energy accumulation should have become Star Devourer long ago.
At Six, he was already invincible below Star Devourer. So what about Jiangnan at Ten...
Everyone couldn't help but shudder violently.
Not only were they observing Jiangnan, but Jiangnan was also looking at his opponents.
Over at the Bose Race, last time Yu Gen had messed things up, so this time Qian Li directly led the team.
No one would dare act recklessly, since he had the ability to cleave the entire Sea of Star Embers with one sword strike.
Four Bose Star Devourers had come: Qian Li, Liuren, Yu Gen, and Di Chou.
But those entering the battlefield were many.
Tiffany from First Light, Nailuo from Creation Realm, and the newly appointed Saint Star Lord Langmu, who replaced Xing Luo.
These were all familiar faces to Jiangnan.
The only noteworthy one was the leader of the Lawkeepers.
His appearance wasn't young, middle-aged, with a long narrow ruler at his waist, a cold expression, and his gaze unabashedly sized up Jiangnan.
Jiangnan grinned and immediately raised a hand to greet:
(ﾟꇴﾟ)ﾂ "Yo~ An unfamiliar face I haven't beaten yet? What's your background?"
[Resentment from Tianli +1009!]
[From Nailuo...]
Not only did Tianli generate resentment, but even Tiffany and Nailuo were grinding their teeth.
God damn, 'not beaten' means we've already been beaten, right?
Tianli squinted: (≖益≖) "I..."
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Ah~ it doesn't matter, I'm not interested in your background. No matter what your background, once you enter the Sea of Star Embers, you'll still be beaten by me."
"There's no difference. I only care about how your hand feels~"
"This is my first time seeing someone bring a ruler to a fight. Such a long ruler, can you actually use it? Don't go measuring strange places when you're free, I'm afraid you'll feel inferior. For you, one section should be enough, right?"
Tianli: !!!
God damn ruler, this is a Law Ruler!
What do you mean one section? At least three sections! Who do you think you're looking down on?
[Resentment from Tianli +1010!]
But he still suppressed the anger in his chest and sneered: "Just wait. I will destroy everything about you. Why would a god care about the provocation of a mere ant?"
Jiangnan nodded repeatedly: (๑ᵒ̴̶̷̫ᵒ̴̶̷) "Mm hm hm~ It's just that your threat is not threatening at all. I'm too lazy to refute it. How about I give you a chance to make a new threat?"
"Think about your lines again?"
[Resentment from Tianli +1010!]
[From Tianli...]
Qian Li coldly glanced at Jiangnan, murderous intent appearing in his eyes.
Jiangnan curled his lip: (￢～￢) "Fine~ next, next~"
After saying that, he aimed at the Silicon Base.
Yang Jian and the others all covered their foreheads. Jiangnan was at it again.
Starting his area-of-effect provocations again.
For the past half year, to consider the Carbon Alliance's development, he couldn't just go looking for trouble. It must have been killing him, right?
Now he could finally start, huh?
But then they saw that the Silicon Base's Xingfang series mechanical legion was all staring at Jiangnan, activating self-learning mode.
Adding new content to Jiangnan's voice pack.
The Silicon Base was still the old lineup: Gang Xiu, Ying Shi, Tao, etc., but this time the Silicon Lord was present in person.
The unmarked mechanical prosthetic was exceptionally conspicuous.
They heard the Silicon Lord say: [┐￢_￢┌] "If you can talk, talk more. We want to learn."
Jiangnan looked disgusted. Were they this blatant?
"You still owe me money. Oh right, don't forget your betting agreement with the Bose Race. If you lose, you'll lose both the wife and the troops!"
The Silicon Lord said calmly: "No need for you to worry about that. You should worry more about yourself."
Jiangnan grinned: "I'm actually curious, between a counterfeit product and the genuine article, which one is more powerful."
But the Silicon Base stopped talking, and even the resentment points stopped refreshing.
Unable to get the upper hand, Jiangnan directly looked at Noah:
(￢̫￢) "Ah la la~ Isn't this Brother Noah? You all..."
Noah darkened his face: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿‧̣̥̇)̄ "Damn! Can you at least watch which camp you're insulting?"
Attacking your own people too?
Jiangnan was stunned, then awkwardly scratched his head:
(⌒ꇴ⌒;)୨ "Sorry, slipped out, slipped out. I'll switch to another one right away~"
pS: I'll make up for the missing chapter in the evening, three chapters in the evening.
