Chapter 1782 - 1416: Occupation
In the communication channel, the soldiers of the Mechanical Empire and the Laurel Kingdom were very disappointed, but they couldn’t say anything.
At this time, Su Mo gave a wry smile and said to Luo Qi and An Yin: "Since you’ve both conceded, the bet is completed. The Resource Star is mine, right?"
"That’s correct."
Luo Qi responded coldly.
"Yes."
An Yin also admitted.
"In that case, I hereby announce that a third of the area of that Resource Star will be given to you as a gift, you can divide it among yourselves."
Su Mo suddenly announced generously.
At that moment, Luo Qi and An Yin’s subordinates all showed expressions of disbelief, and some even excitedly asked.
"Really?"
"Shut up."
Luo Qi, somewhat embarrassed, scolded his subordinate and then said to Su Mo.
"Commander Su Mo, what do you mean by this?"
"Nothing special, everyone who fights deserves a share of the reward. I’m giving it to everyone, not just you two."
Su Mo replied indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qi fell silent, which was a tacit agreement.
At this time, An Yin smiled and said: "Everyone, thank Commander Su Mo."
For a moment, the communication channel was filled with cheers.
"Thank you, Commander Su Mo!"
...
"No need to thank me, it’s what you deserve. Alright, everyone, take a rest."
Su Mo briefly instructed everyone.
After arranging everything, Su Mo turned to Qian Chengxue and others.
"There’s nothing more to do here, let’s leave the cleanup to Tilo and Luo Qi, and head to that Resource Star."
"Okay!"
Qian Chengxue and others replied one after another.
So Su Mo and his team quickly flew towards the Resource Star.
At this time, the Creator Swallower reminded Su Mo: "Go to the northern part of this planet, there’s something there."
"Alright."
Su Mo swiftly responded, and then piloted the Mecha towards the direction indicated by the Creator Swallower.
As Su Mo and his team reached the designated area above the Resource Star, beams of light shot up from the planet.
Su Mo and the others evaded them precisely.
Kendi said: "There are still enemies on the planet."
Su Mo looked carefully and saw a huge resource reserve nest, resembling a bird’s nest, in view.
Meanwhile, many special spikes were erected on top of the nest; the beams attacking them were shot out from these spikes, which were guarded by numerous Spirit Touchers.
"Kill!"
Su Mo gave a straightforward command.
"Understood!"
Everyone responded promptly.
Immediately, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue led the charge with their Mecha.
The guarding Spirit Toucher defenders were not afraid and charged forward fearlessly.
Both sides tangled in a fierce battle!
However, the situation quickly turned one-sided, as the defending Spirit Touchers were not very strong, and it didn’t take long for Su Mo and his team to wipe them out.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue exchanged a glance and then led the way into the nest.
The inside of the nest was much larger than expected, and surprisingly, there was no resistance upon entering; not a single Spirit Toucher was seen along the way.
"Strange, why is there no resistance? Could they have all been killed?"
Kendi asked, puzzled.
"Search!"
Su Mo replied decisively.
So they piloted their Mecha through the nest to search, and soon they found a heap of mined ore, which were pitch black and golden, obviously very advanced.
Yan Gang glanced at it and said in shock.
"This is Tier 4 Ore: Uno Gold! It’s used to make Tier 4 Mecha and Tier 4 and 5 ships; it’s very expensive, and there’s so much of it!"
"This Resource Star is more advanced than expected; if I’m not mistaken, it should be a Tier 4 Resource Star. And a very rich one at that, capable of producing a large number of Tier 4 ores, some Tier 5 ores, and a small chance of producing Tier 6 ores. No wonder the Eternal Sleep Clan stationed heavy troops here."
Qian Chengxue remarked with a sigh.
Yan Gang turned to Su Mo and asked.
"Boss, should we move these ores?"
"Move what? We’re at war now; moving these ores would make the ships too heavy and affect our combat strength. Here’s what we’ll do, Yan Gang, why don’t you take some people and selectively take away the Tier 5 and 6 ores?"
Su Mo thought for a moment and replied. Although this Resource Star was already his, if something went wrong in this war against the Eternal Sleep Clan, it would all be for nothing. It’s better to take some first.
"Understood."
Yan Gang nodded heavily in response.
"Let’s go, let’s continue searching inside."
Su Mo said solemnly.
"Alright!"
Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.
Then Su Mo led Qian Chengxue and others deeper inside to search. Before long, they passed through a long corridor and arrived at a separate storage room.
This storage room didn’t have piles of ore, but instead, a Sky Pit was dug in the center.
As Su Mo and the others approached, a very peculiar scene appeared. Many round-headed, transparent-bodied, and very watery little Spirit Touchers emerged.
It looked like a blue ocean as far as the eye could see.
They were all huddled within the Sky Pit, the largest being only about three meters, mostly around two meters, with even smaller ones present.
At first glance, these Spirit Touchers, although dirty, appeared very cute.
Upon seeing so many huddled Spirit Touchers, Kendi’s first reaction was: "Spirit Touchers, kill!"
"Wait a moment."
Qian Chengxue suddenly called out.
"What’s wrong?"
Su Mo asked in confusion.
"Su Mo, look at the few Spirit Touchers in the middle region."
Qian Chengxue said.
Su Mo immediately shifted his gaze and saw a rather comical scene; several Spirit Touchers were waving white flags back and forth.
"Am I seeing this correctly, are they surrendering?"
Su Mo said incredulously.
Kendi frowned and replied: "It seems so, judging by their gestures?"
Although Kendi found it absurd, the fact remained they were waving white flags, each trembling, showing no sign of aggression.
Su Mo’s expression grew stranger; it was his first time seeing members of the Eternal Sleep Clan surrender. He communicated with the Creator Swallower.
"Could this be a trap?"
"A trap? What trap? With such pathetic combat power, what could they possibly do? Even if your subordinates didn’t use Mecha, they could wipe them out in minutes. These are the Eternal Sleep Clan’s Miners, meant for mining, not much for combat."
The Creator Swallower replied coldly.
Su Mo realized it now, understanding the situation.
At this moment, seeing Su Mo and his team not attacking, the present Spirit Touchers hurriedly waved their white flags repeatedly and kept kowtowing.
Some even started speaking.
"Spare us!"
"Spare us!"
...
Seeing this scene, Qian Chengxue also felt a bit reluctant to act, and so she said to Su Mo: "Su Mo, they’ve all surrendered. Should we capture them first?"
"Not advisable; it’s very rare for members of the Eternal Sleep Clan to surrender. And who knows whether their surrender is genuine or feigned. Better to eliminate them to prevent future issues."
Kendi hastily advised.
Su Mo was temporarily at a loss; it would be easy to kill if they resisted, but clearly, these little beings were also victims of oppression. Thus, he felt a bit hesitant to strike hard, and said.
"Let’s capture them first."
