Boom!

Boom!

The piercing roar echoed across the land as steel cities rose rapidly, occupying vast amounts of land, almost matching the existing territory of the human world. And they didn't stop, still expanding continuously.

"Governor, after the revival of the ancient civilization, it doesn't seem to intend to advance towards the human defense line. It is rapidly occupying territory, and a large number of mechanical creatures are emerging from the steel cities, mining and collecting nearby minerals and resources!"

The latest news arrived, which was not good news for human civilization.

Although the ancient civilization seemed unlikely to launch a war for the time being, and the safety of the human defense line was temporarily not a concern, its resource mining behavior was undoubtedly another level of combat with humans.

Resource competition was even more intense than bloody battles on the battlefield.

This kind of war would not be decided in the short term, but would last a long time. However, once a tilt in advantage occurred, it would be almost irreversible.

No matter how brave one was on the battlefield, it would not change the outcome of the resource war.

Li Tianran listened to his subordinate's report, knowing that the ancient civilization had chosen the way of war he least wanted to see!

According to the current highest military force, Li Tianran was not afraid of the ancient civilization at all, and could even faintly suppress it. If the other side fully revived and launched a war, it would be exactly what Li Tianran wanted.

But the other side chose a resource war...

Their technological level was very high, and the overall number of members was small. Most of them used intelligent working robots similar to Combat Berserkers for mining, so there was no need to worry about safety issues during the mining process.

However, Hurricane Island, or rather human civilization, was different.

Although Li Tianran also possessed Sky City, Sky City needed to guard the gap in the human defense line for Hurricane Island during this time.

Kunlun Giant Ship also needed to be stationed in Kani City.

The current situation was...

The ancient civilization would not easily launch an attack on the human world, but if the Kunlun Giant Ship and Sky City left the human defense line, they might suddenly attack.

After all, the human world was still too weak. If it left the protection of the two war weapons, it would not be able to resist the ancient civilization's sneak attacks.

And if scouting teams were sent out of the human defense line to search for resources, they would easily be ambushed by the ancient civilization. Not only would they not be able to bring the resources back, but they would also lose manpower.

However, solving this problem was also very simple.

First, all members of human civilization should be upgraded to the level of secondary evolvers. In this way, the human world would no longer fear the attacks of the ancient civilization. However, doing so would be tantamount to directly eliminating the entire ancient civilization.

Second, Li Tianran completely abandoned human civilization, gave up the human world, and led Hurricane Island to become the same structure as the ancient civilization, just leading a small number of high-level members to form a group. In this way, Kunlun and Sky City would no longer need to guard the human world, and there would be no need to worry about the defense of Hurricane Island. Li Tianran could unscrupulously compete with the ancient civilization for resources and engage in confrontation!

This seemed relatively feasible. If it had been three months ago, Li Tianran might have really chosen to do so.

But not now.

In countless wars, Li Tianran had seen too many human warriors shed their blood for the continuation of this race. They fearlessly rushed to their deaths for his order.

Because they believed that Li Tianran could save this race, they believed that their deaths were not in vain, so they went without hesitation.

If Li Tianran abandoned the human world now, abandoned the homeland and homes of those warriors, how could he be worthy of those dead heroes?

Even he himself couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart!

"Notify all human countries to immediately conduct resource exploration and mining within the territory inside the defense line..." Li Tianran took a deep breath: "Let's seize the resources within the defense line first!"

As for the resources outside the defense line...

Li Tianran was silent for a long time, slowly revealing a sneer.

Naturally, he would not give up the resources outside the defense line.

The emergence of the current resource surge period is not only needed by the Star and Night clans and human civilization, but also by an even more powerful clan outside of these two forces - the Triangle Tower!

Li Tianran absolutely did not believe that the Triangle Tower would not take action. Even the most powerful clan in the ancient civilization could not turn a blind eye to the various new resources that appeared during the resource surge period.

Although Hanhan was not in the Triangle Tower now, Nilason, as an elder of the Triangle Tower clan, could not have no reaction.

And given the current relationship between Hanhan and Li Tianran, Nilason would definitely not reach out to the area within the human defense line, so its target could only be the vast world outside the defense line.

The result of doing so was that the Triangle Tower was destined to violate the interests of the Star and Night Apostles. Although the other party might not dare to start a war with the Triangle Tower clan, as long as they could obtain fewer benefits, it would already be a result that Li Tianran was very happy to see.

Sure enough, just three minutes later, someone came to report again, claiming that the Triangle Tower, which had been suspended in the original sea area of Hurricane Island and had not moved, had also begun a full-scale revival. And their posture after revival was even more domineering than the Star and Night clans. A large number of aircraft flew out of the human defense line, falling towards the earth and turning into small bases.

Some of the lands where the aircraft of the Triangle Tower clan landed had already been occupied by the steel cities of the other two apostles.

However, the aircraft of the Triangle Tower did not hesitate at all, landing directly on those cities, and suddenly unleashing fierce firepower, destroying all those cities. Then, they stood up in the ruins and replaced them!

In just a few minutes, hundreds of steel cities were destroyed. Not to mention resisting, the Star and Night clans didn't even have the right to express their opposition.

Nilason stood at the top of the Triangle Tower, looking at the vast world outside, with a happy smile on its face.

It seemed to be able to see the angry and irritable but helpless expressions on the faces of the Star and Night Apostles through the endless space.

Although it had crushed hundreds of steel cities of the other party in an extremely domineering manner, the other party would still have to respect it very much the next time they met.

Although it was just a follower, there was no way around it. Who told it to have the strongest apostle and the strongest clan behind it?
