# Chapter 2666: I Cry Injustice for the Celestial Star Clan Warriors
But Gang Yu was way too happy too early, thinking he had escaped disaster!
Little did he know that the core storage area was also heavily guarded by Netherworld Race troops!
If he revealed even the slightest clue, he'd be done for!
Gang Yu could only obediently hide, pretending to be a base planet!
Many of the Celestial Star Clan members who came in with him were discovered and dragged out!
But they were loyal enough—even when caught, they didn't sell out their big brother!
There were some Celestial Star Clan members who managed to sneak into the core area with Gang Yu, but very few...
And at this moment, the Carbon Alliance army was in a state of jubilation, with an enthusiastic atmosphere!
On their first expedition, not only did they take out a batch of minor clans and gain plenty of spoils, they even directly flipped the Matter Alliance position, thoroughly looting them!
And the Carbon Alliance army itself suffered almost no losses—this was a triumphant victory, wasn't it?
How was this just scraping the plate? They took off and soared, eating until they were stuffed!
Being enemies with Boss Nan Shen was an extremely terrifying thing, but being teammates was truly satisfying!
Even Chong Laoliu found it a bit unbelievable—this was the first time the Insect Race had sent troops with such few casualties and achieved such results; she was even a bit unaccustomed to it!
Ye Jinse said excitedly:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "And then? And then? Where do we attack next?"
Walter waved his hand grandly, full of ambition:
ᕙ(｡`ꇴ´)｡ "Conquering the Sea of Star Embers is at hand; let's press onward and do another job!"
Everyone was waiting for Jiangnan's next action plan!
But Jiangnan shook his head with a mysterious expression:
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "What's the rush? Given the current situation in the Sea of Star Embers, there's no particularly worthwhile target!"
"The minor clans have almost been cleared out by the four giants; even if their racial beacons weren't destroyed, they don't have many base planets left—not worth a major effort!"
"Although the Matter Alliance still has stock, it's all in the Silicon Base position, not so easy to get out!"
"The only jobs that can get us back our investment would be against Bose or Silicon Base..."
Everyone swallowed their saliva. Good grief, they hadn't even fought much yet, and there was nothing left to fight?
These two were both deeply entrenched forces; Silicon Base might have some heaven-defying tricks up their sleeves!
And the Bose Race was equally hard to attack—the power of the Heaven's Punishment Curse Array just now was no joke!
Odin swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of excitement:
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Next... are we going to strike at Bose and Silicon Base?"
Jiangnan grinned slyly:
(๑･᷄⥎･᷅) "Strike we will, but only a fool would clash head-on with them. The Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle is, after all, just a game under the rules of the era!"
"There's no need to sacrifice a large number of warriors' lives for this—it's not worth it. Taking it slow is the hard truth!"
"Silicon Base and the Bose Race have a betting agreement. Let them fight it out first. We'll watch the show, hunt on the sidelines—doesn't that sound good?"
"The total points we have in hand aren't low!"
After this wave, the Carbon Alliance not only recovered the 30% of planets lost during the transfer, but actually made a huge profit!
Now the Bose Race has reaped a harvest and also looted the Matter Alliance; their total points have returned to first place, pulling ahead of Silicon Base!
Silicon Base still holds second place, but with the Matter Alliance's point pool in hand, they're essentially not behind Bose!
Next comes the Carbon Alliance, while the Matter Alliance's total points are the least promising!
For Silicon Base and Bose to win against each other, besides gaining more points, they need to seize or eliminate the opponent's points!
And the only faction currently holding a large number of points is the Carbon Alliance, but the Carbon Alliance also has its moat of invincibility protecting it, making it impossible to attack!
Predictably, the probability of Bose and Silicon Base directly clashing later is very high!
Of course, the possibility of them attacking the Carbon Alliance can't be ruled out, but if they really come, Jiangnan isn't afraid—just fight it out!
Yang Jian clicked his tongue:
(•́ω•̀٥) "I was wondering why you had to go mediate? You were waiting for this, weren't you? How sinister can you be?"
The grudges from the Bose-Silicon War extending into the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle?
With the betting agreement established, if the two sides fight to the death in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, it couldn't be more favorable for the Carbon Alliance!
Jiangnan snickered wickedly:
(˵ಡ̫ಡ) "Even if they don't fight, there's no harm!"
"Next, it's adapt to the situation, then find a way to rob both of them!"
Chong Laoliu pursed her lips:
(๑מּ,_מּ) "If that's the case... it'll be hard for the Carbon Alliance to increase its total points in the short term!"
The purpose of this Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle is to improve the overall sequence ranking of all Carbon Alliance races!
How many points each faction has is less important!
The current gains might be considerable, but once divided among the factions, there won't be much left!
Jiangnan grinned: "Who says so? Don't we still have plenty of worker clans fighting for us? The joy of being a creditor—you can't imagine it~"
"Besides, who said the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle has to be about fighting to the death?"
"There are many ways to earn base planets; we don't necessarily have to rob them, we can also make them willingly send them to us!"
Everyone was stunned. Make them give us base planets?
Are you out of your mind?
Just then, Bing Chacha came to report:
∠(｀ω´*) "Reporting to Lord Nan Shen! The captured base planets have been sorted and stored in the core area under strict guard!"
"Among the captured planets, over three thousand Celestial Star Clan ones were also sorted out and piled over there. How do you wish to handle them?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the surface of the Styx River!
The river surface was fenced off with Styx energy bars, and over three thousand Celestial Star Clan planets were soaked inside, crowded together like a water prison!
They were being washed by the Styx water, spitting bubbles!
They had never taken such a thrilling bath in their lives!
As soon as they saw Jiangnan looking over,
The Celestial Star Clan warriors began to curse:
୧⍥⃝୨ "Jiangnan! You'll die a miserable death! You can defeat our bodies, but you'll never defeat our souls!"
"If you've got the guts, kill me! Even if I die, it's for my race—I am honored! I am proud!"
"The Matter Alliance will definitely come to rescue us! Just wait and see! How long can you keep being arrogant? Pwah~ gurgle gurgle~"
A devilish smile spread across Jiangnan's face:
(΄◞ิꇴ◟ิ‵) "Hehe~ If you weren't coming to rescue them, I'd be worried!"
"Here comes the business!"
Jiangnan stood on the war platform, pulled out the War Horn, and turned the volume to max:
Σ(((＞(･᷄ꇴ･᷅๑) "Hey hey hey~ Is the Matter Alliance around? Listen up!"
The rolling sound waves echoed through the Sea of Star Embers!
Ming Sha and Xian Guo, who were busy repairing the ruins, immediately heard Jiangnan's shout!
They were both furious:
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Dammit! This guy never stops? What does he want now?"
Jiangnan shouted:
Σ(((＞(¯͒ꇴ¯͒˵) "I have over three thousand Celestial Star Clan warriors in my hands—I accidentally captured them!"
"Don't worry! Our Carbon Alliance always adheres to the principle of peaceful handling of affairs; we never mistreat prisoners! I'm returning them to you!"
"But I can't just give them away for free! One Celestial Star Clan warrior—just pay 10 base planets as a handling fee!"
Ming Sha: ???
(cao min caoꐦ) "One for 10 base planets? Over three thousand Celestial Star Clan—that would require over thirty thousand base planets? Thirty million points?"
"Have you lost your mind?"
"Where the hell do we have that many points? Over three thousand Celestial Star Clan warriors—we have plenty! Do whatever you want with them! Kill them if you like! What do I care?"
Xian Guo glared, shoving Ming Sha aside:
(ꐦ･ˇ益ˇ･) "Pah! What nonsense! Kill them? Easy for you to say since they're not your Stardust Clan!"
Gang Yu still hasn't been found—could Jiangnan have captured him?
But Xian Guo looked for a long time and didn't see Gang Yu's ball among the prisoners. Could he be hiding?
"Jiangnan! Don't play this game with me! Release my Celestial Star Clan warriors immediately! Otherwise, you'd better hope none of your Carbon Alliance people fall into our hands!"
"Otherwise, I'll be even crueler than you!"
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́～•̀)╭ "What nonsense are you talking? As if you really have our people as hostages!"
"One Celestial Star Clan—10 base planets! No bargaining! Exchange or not?"
At this moment, Xian Guo fell into hesitation!
Honestly, over three thousand Celestial Star Clan warriors couldn't compare to those base planets!
If they died, they died!
The number of Celestial Star Clan members who died in the recent battle was far more than this!
But the problem was, Jiangnan had brought this up in public!
The entire starry sky was watching!
Jiangnan said indignantly: (ง▼皿▼)ง "What's there to hesitate about? Even a moment's hesitation is a desecration of these Celestial Star Clan warriors!"
"They risked their lives for your Matter Alliance, for the honor of the Celestial Star Clan—carrying their, uh, dragging their big heads into battle!"
"Now that they've fallen into enemy hands, suffered humiliation, and finally managed to get a redemption condition, and you hesitate? ***! You're letting them down!"
"If you just let them die here, who will follow the Matter Alliance's steps in the future? Who will charge into battle? Who will fight for you? You're chilling the hearts of the Matter Alliance warriors!"
These words were reasoned with emotion; even Jiangnan got worked up!
Those Celestial Star Clan members even felt their noses sting!
If it weren't for the fact that you were the enemy who made us suffer humiliation, we might actually be moved!
At this moment, the gazes of the Matter Alliance warriors turned dark!
They couldn't help but put themselves in that situation!
If it were them in Jiangnan's hands?
Would they just be left to die?
If they died on the battlefield, they'd accept it willingly—that was their fate. But if there was a chance to live as a prisoner, who wouldn't want to live?
Xian Guo's face turned green!
This shameless Jiangnan had trapped him directly!
If he exchanged, let alone whether he had that many points, he'd lose his shirt!
If he didn't exchange, it would chill the hearts of the Matter Alliance soldiers and disgrace the Celestial Star Clan!
"Jiangnan! This is moral blackmail! You can't do this! Whether I exchange or not is my business—why are you getting worked up?"
Jiangnan widened his eyes: (｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Of course I'm crying injustice for these Celestial Star Clan warriors!"
"Moral blackmail? Where am I blackmailing?"
"You can also choose not to be blackmailed! Just have no morals!"
"Look at me—I have no morals, so I'm never blackmailed!"
