Chapter 2665: You're Ugly, You Speak First?
Tianli's face was utterly lost now!
He had just unleashed his ultimate move, intending to show off nicely, but this kneeling ruined everything!
Jiangnan quickly seized the opportunity to add insult to injury:
(˵¯͒▿¯͒) "Yo～my dear big kid, it's not even New Year yet and you're already bowing?"
"I'm not that stingy person either. Come, come～come over! I'll give you a few hundred big red envelopes to celebrate!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his Small Fire Jar!
[Resentment from Tianli +1009!]
[Resentment from Tianli...]
Tianli was furious, directly blasting his own legs apart!
(ꐦ･ˇ益ˇ･) "I won't stoop to your level. I'll show you! Just wait!"
Tianli flicked his sleeve and left angrily, taking the Bose army to guard the Creation Beast.
Although this wave had considerable losses, the Bose race still came out ahead.
At least they had scraped up quite a few base planets from the Matter Alliance, which was much faster than conquering them on their own.
It was an unexpected gain.
Jiangnan didn't stop them either. Given the Carbon Alliance's strength, directly taking on the Bose army head-on would still be somewhat difficult.
At least the casualty count would skyrocket because of that. It wasn't worth it for those few base planets; anyway, this wave had already yielded considerable gains.
Gang Xiu watched the Bose race leave with a cold expression.
Then he looked at Jiangnan and squinted, saying:
[┐≖_≖┌] "You haven't told me the answer to that question yet! You really don't plan to say it?"
"You know what I'm talking about! As long as you say it, our Silicon can let bygones be bygones about this matter, and even jointly attack the Bose race later—that's not impossible."
"After the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle ends, there will also be a place for your Carbon Alliance in this starry sky."
Jiangnan glared: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Let bygones be bygones? I grabbed the Matter Alliance with my own skill—what are you letting bygones be bygones about?"
"Cooperate with you? Forget it. I'm afraid that once I turn around, we'll end up worse than the Matter Alliance."
(｡՞▿՞) "After all, betraying teammates is your Silicon's ancestral craft."
At this moment, Chenmu Mailiushi's face was as green as mung bean cake, already doubting whether recognizing Silicon as the big brother was a correct choice.
Gang Xiu said coldly:
[┐▼益▼┌] "I'm putting the ugly words first, you..."
Jiangnan nodded repeatedly, looking very agreeable:
(˵ಡ⥎ಡ) "Mm-hmm, you're ugly, you speak first!"
Gang Xiu hadn't finished speaking before he suddenly froze, and his pUa started smoking again.
God damn "you're ugly, you speak first"!
Who knew you could retort like that? Even though he was insulted, knowledge +1!
[┐￢益￢┌] "Tsk～Not saying? Our Silicon will find out. Once we find out, there will be no room for negotiation."
Jiangnan didn't even listen and led the team back home.
(งˇ▿ˇ)ว "Brothers, retreat, retreat. Didn't expect that even though it's a mechanical prosthetic, the fart sound is still quite loud."
"This expedition has yielded a lot. Hurry home to split the spoils and celebrate. Let's go, go, go."
The Carbon Alliance army retreated in a massive swarm.
Many of the Apocalypse race were surrounded by atomic clouds, performing atomic repair as they walked, turning them into base planets.
Clearly, these were the ones that had been blown apart in the previous wave.
The Matter Alliance commander was so angry he was spitting blood.
Gang Xiu's mechanical eyes were about to spit fire. "Don't think that by relying on the moat you can dominate the battlefield. Everything has just begun."
"Let's go!"
The remaining mechanical legions also began to jump away one by one.
At this moment, the Matter Alliance's position was a mess of ruins, smashed into pieces, and large buildings had vanished into thin air.
The fact that there were still broken walls left was already a sign of Jiangnan's mercy.
The entire site of the position was split in two, and spare parts of defensive structures floated everywhere in the starry sky.
The Matter Alliance army had been wiped out to an unknown extent; many minor clans with poor strength were completely annihilated.
Mingsha Guqiong and the others were now sitting on the ground by the ruined city gate tower, slapping their thighs and crying.
Their expressions were practically a replica of Wang Yousheng's crying face!
While wailing, they said:
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "That bastard Jiangnan is not human! He dismantles our position, steals our points—nobody does that!"
"You three factions had a full-blown fight on our Matter Alliance's position, then got up, patted your butts, and left?"
"Not even a single sorry?"
"The position was broken apart right at the start of the battle? This is what they call a lightning strike at the opening, isn't it?"
"How are we supposed to continue fighting this Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle?"
"We're just incredibly unlucky!"
The Immortal Kingdom saw Gang Xiu about to leave and got anxious, quickly rushing over:
(‧̣̥̇ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Wait... don't go yet? Quite a few of our base planets and racial beacons were transmitted to the Silicon position, weren't they?"
"Now that Jiangnan and the Bose race have all withdrawn, could you perhaps... send those base planets back? We..."
In this wave, Jiangnan probably took a third, and the Bose race also scraped away a third.
The rest were all saved by the Silicon.
Now the Matter Alliance had nothing in their hands.
However, this also preserved most of the racial beacons. Although the Matter Alliance lost some base planets,
many member clans still have the qualification to participate.
Gang Xiu snorted coldly:
[┐￢_￢┌] "Return them to you? If I transmit the base planets back here, do you think Jiangnan wouldn't dare to turn around and rob another wave?"
"I do want to return them to you, but do you have the strength to protect the base planets? Wouldn't that just be making a wedding dress for others?"
"The remaining base planets will be temporarily stored in our Silicon position. When the time is right, we'll return them to you without delay."
After these words, the faces of Mingsha, the Immortal Kingdom, and the others all looked grim.
In this way, wouldn't the Silicon be able to destroy beacons at will and embezzle points as they pleased?
Are they trying to use this opportunity to grasp the lifeline of the Matter Alliance?
(⌒﹏⌒;) "This... this isn't really appropriate, is it? It would be better for us to keep the racial beacons ourselves. We won't trouble you..."
Gang Xiu said lightly: "The Matter Alliance and our Silicon are of one mind and body. What is there to worry about? Aren't we still thinking of you?"
"Did I say we wouldn't return them? Once the Matter Alliance position is rebuilt and the time is right, the base planets will naturally be handed over to you for your own keeping."
"Now start mobilizing resources, replenishing troops, and rebuilding the base. Our Silicon will send troops to directly participate in the construction, strengthening the defense of the Matter Alliance position. Even so... you're still unwilling?"
"Or... are you afraid that our Silicon will embezzle your base planets?"
The Immortal Kingdom's gaze was troubled, and he let out a dry laugh twice, saying:
(´-ㅂ-`；) "How... how could that be? We'll do as you say!"
If they didn't comply, did the Matter Alliance have any choice? After all, the remaining base planets and racial beacons were all in the hands of the Silicon.
Gang Xiu said coldly: "In the end, this disaster still stems from the weak overall strength of the Matter Alliance. Take a good look at yourselves!"
"Think carefully about how to fight from now on. There's still time."
After speaking, he also took his people and left.
Mingsha and the Immortal Kingdom's faces were extremely ugly.
We're not capable? Didn't the Silicon fail to deal with Jiangnan either?
If you hadn't sent us to hold back the Carbon Alliance, why would all this have happened?
But now, complaining is too late; the matter had already occurred, and they could only accept it.
A large number of Silicon construction troops were deployed to help rebuild the Matter Alliance base that had been blown to ruins.
Pre-made replaceable defensive structure modules were pulled over and assembled on-site.
Mechanical wormholes were also opened one after another, and the member clans of the Matter Alliance began large-scale troop replenishment.
It wouldn't take long for the Matter Alliance to restore itself to peak strength.
As long as the racial beacons weren't destroyed, they could keep fighting.
And the horrific casualties incurred before would soon be forgotten. That is the cruelty of war.
The Immortal Kingdom frowned, "Gang Yu? Why haven't we seen him all this time?"
"With Gang Yu's strength, he should have been able to protect himself in such chaos. He shouldn't have died so carelessly in the bombardment."
"Could he really have been captured by Jiangnan?"
...
Gang Yu was even more panicked now.
Because at this moment, the Carbon Alliance army had returned to the human defense zone and entered the moat.
On the wide surface of the Styx River, Jiangnan and the others were counting the gains from this expedition.
Piles of planets were displayed on the river surface, with Netherworld race soldiers picking through them.
When Jiangnan grabbed them, he didn't pick—he just scooped up any planet that came to hand.
He even caught quite a few Celestial Star race members along with them.
If he found a base planet, he threw it into the core area for storage.
If he found a Celestial Star race member, he kicked them into the moat to soak first.
There were some who tried to disguise themselves as base planets, but many were discovered and kicked into the river for a bath.
Gang Yu was already regretting it now.
God damn "steal the sky and exchange the sun, extract the fuel from under the cauldron" grand plan!
Back then, he had just said it casually to seem impressive and to avoid a direct confrontation with Jiangnan.
To put it bluntly, he was just scared.
When he actually entered the moat, Gang Yu's mind went blank.
He couldn't think of any way to sneak into the Carbon Alliance's home.
Now he could only pray that he wouldn't be discovered; otherwise, his saliva bath would have been for nothing, and he really would be turned into beads by Jiangnan.
Gang Yu completely stopped all planetary activity, entering a star-sleep state. Not only did he have volcanic rock layers as camouflage, but there were also some building ruins and defensive structure fragments on his surface.
He even moved the sequence codes from other base planets onto himself.
Making himself look exactly like a base planet that had suffered battle damage.
At that time, Netherworld race soldiers came to do a quick inspection. That short inspection period felt like years to him.
But fortunately, the Netherworld race's inspection was not thorough. After a quick look at the sequence code on Gang Yu, they treated him as a base planet.
They dragged him to the core storage area of the moat.
That area was also heavily guarded.
Gang Yu let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. This was even more thrilling than going through an angry battle?
Fortunately, he wasn't discovered.
Yes～Yes!
