Chapter 447: Chapter 264: Just a Delusion
It must be said, even though they were only dealing with an Es Civilization whose power had been significantly weakened, or even mostly withdrawn from their Mother Star, Shen Shi still felt an indescribable thrill.
Because the Es Civilization had indeed given him tremendous pressure for a long time.
This was unlike the initial Worren Fleet and the Daike Civilization, which were not comparable.
Whether it was the Worren Fleet or Daike, over three thousand years, they were nothing, not even requiring Shen Shi to do much, as humanity on its own had managed to defeat them.
But the Es Civilization was different.
This was a true giant that the Human Civilization could not overcome on its own.
Even with three thousand years, not a glimmer of hope for defeating the Es Civilization could be seen, surpassing the limits of independent human development.
Even Sage Saint Shen Shi from the second future line had been truly despairing at one point.
Shen Shi was confused for a long time, not knowing where the breakthrough would be.
However, today, the past confusion was truly swept away, being able to occupy the Mother Star of the Es Civilization. The benefits aside, the significance alone was enough to excite Shen Shi immensely.
Even the Human Civilization of this world might find it hard to understand Shen Shi’s feelings.
Yet if the humans from the second future line knew of this moment, they would surely be even more overjoyed than Shen Shi.
"Commander-in-Chief." Yulan, responsible for leading the follow-up, interrupted Shen Shi’s emotions at this moment, "The Es People have surrendered en masse, but they have surrendered to us, not to other forces."
"Oh?" Shen Shi was a bit surprised, "Do they know who is leading this operation?"
"Yes, they are very clear. It seems someone contacted them, and it’s likely the representatives from the Gus Land civilizations," Yulan said.
"After all, there are many eyes and ears." Shen Shi shook his head, though not too surprised this time.
Even though they were on the same frontline, they were far from being firm allies, and as long as the Es People could pay the price, obtaining information was not difficult.
However, he also understood why those Es People made such a decision.
Firstly, the Pirate Alliance was the weakest.
Yes, even though the Pirate Alliance provided the largest number of warships, weapons, and equipment, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these warships and weapons were not produced by the Pirate Alliance itself, but came from other civilizations, with a significant portion actually belonging to the Es Civilization, making the large number of B4 level warships more indicative of the true level behind the Pirate Alliance.
In this way, the Pirate Alliance needed these captives even more.
Whether it was the technology they mastered, the equipment they possessed, or the secrets they held, they were a huge interest that the Pirate Alliance had to attach great importance to.
This also provided these captives with the possibility of exchanging for benefits.
Conversely, if they fell into the hands of other forces, the best outcome would likely be imprisonment, or even becoming Primordial Energy Batteries.
As for those C-level civilizations, they didn’t even qualify to participate in the distribution of captives, and being allowed to pick up some wreckage was already the greatest compensation for them.
So after understanding the reason, Shen Shi was not polite.
"Accept them all." Shen Shi ordered, "Send people with Holy Land personal terminals to receive them, don’t miss a single one."
"Yes!"
In this way, most of the benefits from this operation would indeed fall into the hands of the Human Civilization.
Naturally, the other participating forces would not be content.
Shen Shi could already foresee that with the spread of news, other B-level civilization forces would likely be plotting actions against the Pirate Alliance.
But what did humans have to fear?
With Shen Shi’s order, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield changed instantly and invisibly.
"This area belongs to our Three-Day Civilization’s spoils..." Before the speech from the Three-Day Civilization could finish, they saw the devices in front of them, including the Es People within, beginning to disappear in large swathes.
And their technology could not possibly decipher what kind of technology this was.
Just like their performance when they arrived.
Not even probing could discover anything, and instead, the interests that should have belonged to them were slipping away frantically.
The same thing was happening in many other places.
As a result, the representatives of these civilizations had to come together and approach Shen Shi.
"Your actions are a betrayal of the alliance and will incur consequences."
These civilizations were naturally not foolish enough to just make meaningless threats. Their threats involved not only targeting the Pirate Alliance for encirclement but also included attacks on the Mother Star regions of other civilizations.
However, Shen Shi was not afraid at all.
"The scales of power have tilted." Shen Shi simply and coldly revealed the facts, "Digesting the gains from this operation, in the next action, we won’t even need you. The alliance concludes here, and next, it will be a feast for the Pirate Alliance alone!"
After leaving this direct declaration, Shen Shi didn’t hesitate and directly ended the conversation.
