Chapter 2646: All Bald! Not a Single One Left
Are you kidding me? Just now, in such a tough situation, how on earth did you break through and bring back all the base planets and racial beacons safely, huh?!
Ye Yuanwei thought Jiangnan had turned into a black hole, but he came back faster than all of them, dammit!
Du Lingyu looked indifferent:
(˵¯͒⥎¯͒)"Calm down, calm down! What's there to get so excited about? Isn't this totally normal? He's Nan Shen, you know~"
"It's just a pity you didn't see that remote-controlled yo-yo just now. It's truly a great regret in life. He was simply amazing!"
Ye Jinser ground her teeth. Lick! Just keep licking!
Pfft, scheming woman!
Qian Benying's forehead was covered in cold sweat. It's probably better not to have seen it, right?
Otherwise, Nan Shen's tall and mighty image could easily collapse!
Although the process was a bit bumpy, the Carbon Alliance still completed the grand reunion!
All the base planets and racial beacons of the Carbon Alliance members were put into the moat for unified safekeeping!
Now, on the sand table battle map, the human defense zone had gathered over two thousand racial beacons, a magnificent and bustling sight!
And the outer ring of the human defense zone was packed full of various defensive positions, almost overflowing!
It was incredibly lively!
The number of troops from each race was already terrifying, and now with over two thousand races mixed together, the vast starry sky directly experienced a situation of people crowding against people!
Just the insect swarm from the insect race alone could barely fit!
Seeing such a lively scene, even Yang Jian was dumbfounded!
Not enough manpower?
This problem probably no longer exists, right?
Who wouldn't be stunned by this?
Even without the moat, with such formidable strength, other races would exhaust themselves trying to attack and still fail, right?
At this moment, the million-strong Triumph Group Army led by Xiao Zhen was squeezed among the allied forces of various races, almost disappearing!
They all covered their faces, silently lamenting!
We wanted to show off and play our part, but we weren't given the chance!
Looking around, all we saw were allies, dammit!
Not only did the Carbon Alliance complete the grand reunion,
but even the Matter Alliance, taking advantage of the Carbon Alliance's transfer, also completed their base fusion!
And it wasn't just fusion; there was even silicon-based deployment!
They weren't hiding it anymore!
Thus, the Star Ember Sea now initially had four major forces:
Bose, Silicon, Matter Alliance, Carbon Alliance, and some races that hadn't found a backer, making up about half of the ten thousand races in the starry sky.
Some of them also spontaneously formed racial alliances, often fighting with dozens or hundreds of races united.
But they were not a concern!
During the Carbon Alliance's transfer, they lost more than 30% of their base planets!
Most were snatched by Bose, Silicon, and the Matter Alliance!
And the three of them fought on multiple fronts; everywhere in the Star Ember Sea, you could see their troops on external campaigns, plundering base planets!
The Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle was completely different from the Cosmos Grand Hunt!
In the first round, each side only had ten thousand people, limited manpower, so they rarely split up and basically fought on a single front!
But by the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, there was no worry about manpower at all. If your army was large and strong enough,
you could even split into ten thousand paths and wage war against all the starry sky races simultaneously without anyone caring!
Looking at the sand table battle map, you could see red arrows representing the campaign troops of each race!
They spread outward from the three major bases like radiation!
At the end of the first round, the Bose race was ranked fourth, but now their temporary points had climbed to second, directly closing in on the first-place Silicon!
Silicon might have to face them head-on when attacking cities, but the Bose race didn't have to; they could just directly cross dimensions and grab them!
There were very few means that could stop them!
But Silicon wasn't a pushover either; they deployed troops on multiple fronts, always preventing Bose from catching up!
What's more, they had the Matter Alliance as a points reserve, and at critical moments, they could draw base planets from below to suppress the Bose race!
The Carbon Alliance lost 30%, and now the Matter Alliance had started their campaigns.
Among the four major forces, the Carbon Alliance had the lowest total points, even being overtaken by the Matter Alliance's latecomers!
But Jiangnan didn't seem panicked at all, looking at the more than two thousand racial armies packed into the human defense zone.
His mouth was almost stretched to the back of his ears!
When have I ever fought such a rich war before?
But although Jiangnan wasn't in a hurry, these racial armies began to get anxious!
Although the base planets were safe now, many had lost quite a few, and some were even left with just a single beacon!
The transfer had already taken a lot of time; if they didn't act soon,
the easy prey would be gone, leaving only tough nuts to crack!
Jiangnan grinned:
(˵¯͒ꇴ¯͒)"I know everyone is impatient, but haste makes waste!"
"Everyone is here to fight, and in war, people die. Everyone has parents who raised them. No one wants to fall on this battlefield. Who wants to die if they can live?"
"After all, no one wants to be cannon fodder, right? You're fighting for your own race, and also for the Carbon Alliance. That makes you my people!"
"I can't guarantee that every single one of you will survive, but I can guarantee that I'll maximize your chances of survival on the battlefield!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the various armies lit up. Jiangnan had spoken straight to their hearts!
Some races that joined the Carbon Alliance weren't very strong, and they couldn't help worrying about being used as cannon fodder!
Jiangnan continued: "Maybe there are always some things in this world worth fighting and dying for, but definitely not in this damn Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle!"
"Survival first! As for base planets and such, they're not as important as your life, understand? Give them up if you have to. If someone takes them, I'll just take them back for you!"
"To that end, the human race has specially prepared a war gift package for everyone. Although we can't equip every racial army, there's still a lot!"
"Consider it a little token of my appreciation. Since you dare to risk your lives fighting with me, I won't treat you badly! Ai Jiang~ issue the equipment!"
With that, Jiangnan clapped his little hands~
Giant silver cube-shaped arsenals were brought out!
Now the various racial armies couldn't stay calm!
What's going on? Is Jiangnan sick? He's actually handing out equipment before the fight even starts?
Trap! It must be a trap!
Even Olivia and Ye Jinser looked at Jiangnan in disbelief!
Aota raised his hand, twitching his mouth:
٩(｡･ˇ﹏ˇ･｡:)"Question! Um... this equipment... it's free, right? It's not like you're giving it on credit and then..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes:
(꒪ัд꒪ั*)"Damn! We're in a war! We're all on the same side! What money? Take it and use it! Do you think I'd joke about life-saving stuff?"
"If you don't want it, give it back! It was quite expensive!"
Their eyes lit up even more, and some even had tears shimmering in their eyes!
˚₊*(ˊॢᵒ̴̶̷̥́ლᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ˋॢ)*₊˚
Getting equipment from Jiangnan? The stingy Jiangnan was actually bleeding? Was this really not a dream?
Even Qian Benying looked incredulous, pressing her forehead against Jiangnan's!
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"Strange... you don't seem very hot either? How did you..."
But Jiangnan gave her a headbutt, making her clutch her head and hop around!
Jiangnan pouted and huffed:
(◦`~´◦)"When have I ever mistreated my own people? I spend what I need to!"
Inside, however, his little abacus was clacking away!
All this equipment was rushed out by the weapon manufacturing factories over the past six months!
Although it cost a lot, it was meant to be used in the Sequence War anyway!
Humans didn't have many soldiers, so let other races use it!
If the Carbon Alliance became stronger, humanity would benefit too, and it would minimize casualties among the Carbon Alliance!
The reason for giving it away for free was partly to win hearts, but mainly—if the Carbon Alliance members used these equipment well, they would definitely want more!
Then sell it to them later! That way, the market would open up!
Consider it free advertising for human manufacturing! The good times were yet to come!
After each race received and put on the equipment, they were completely stunned by the functions!
It was the same type as what the Triumph Army used: Blood God Battle Armor, Jump Belts, Return Buttons, and so on!
Plus dimensional portal bracelets!
Attributes like offense, defense, sustainability, escape, and mobility were all maxed out!
Especially in terms of survival—it was hard to die even if you wanted to!
All the races were shocked! Where did humans get so many good things?
Full legendary equipment, dammit!
Some items were not even available for sale from the top silicon manufacturers!
This was...
Du Lingyu and the Ye sisters were also getting excited. Was this part of the big chip Jiangnan mentioned?
Joining the Carbon Alliance not only secured their base but also gave them life-saving gear?
Was following Nan Shen really this sweet?
Now, the Carbon Alliance joint army had even more confidence in the battles ahead!
At this moment, Insect Lao Liu was a bit embarrassed. Although he didn't want to face Jiangnan,
they were allies now, and he had to face him sooner or later!
Insect Lao Liu picked at his fingers, coming over awkwardly:
(๑מּ,﹏מּ)"Nan... Nan Shen... about before, sorry... um... do you have any more of this equipment?"
"Can you give us a bit more? The ones you gave earlier couldn't even fully equip one of my elite insect squads..."
"I want to equip more of my troops, at least a full elite division, so that..."
Jiangnan's mouth twitched as he looked at the dense insect army formations that blocked out the starlight!
Σ(°△°|||)"Even if you sold me, I couldn't equip you all! Just making this batch already left me wearing patched-up underwear!"
"What do you take me for? A rich man?"
Insect Lao Liu was stunned: (๑מּ,～מּ)"Are... aren't you?"
Jiangnan's face instantly bloomed into a brilliant smile like a flower:
(๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)"Ehe~ Say that again?"
Insect Lao Liu's mouth twitched:
(๑מּ,дמּ)"R... rich man?"
Jiangnan immediately yelled:
(︶口︶〃)ﾉ"Don't worry! I, Jiangnan the Rich, would never mistreat my brothers and sisters who risk their lives with me on the battlefield!"
"Brother Bingchacha! Divert the Dali River over here! I want every single member of the Carbon Alliance coalition—every last one of them—to go bald! Not a single one left!"
