"As long as I'm not allowed to participate in the war, a mere fifty warships are not enough to put a wedge between people's teeth." Zhou Yang didn't care about the order to occupy the mining star.
In a large-scale starry sky fleet battle, he had no command experience, and he would be used as cannon fodder.
This is not a one-on-one battle. The strength of an individual is extremely insignificant in front of a huge fleet.
According to what the star map pointed out, Zhou Yang led a temporary fleet and pounced on the black iron ore star.
In addition, he has issued an order to speed up the voyage to the auxiliary general reserve team behind him, asking them to arrive at the Black Iron Ore Star as soon as possible.
A mere fifty warships and an army of forty or fifty thousand men would definitely be unable to occupy such a large mining star. The two hundred and sixty god-level warships must be allowed to come over.
It's just occupation. What he needs is a large number of manpower, not a powerful battleship.
This is a mineral star at the very edge of the Giant Gate Star Territory. It is rich in God-level Dark Iron and also produces some God-level Amethyst.
Dark iron is the main material for refining warships, and the god-level amethyst is the material needed for gold and earth divine treasures.
There are other minerals on this mineral star, but the content is not high.
A few days later, the temporary fleet successfully arrived at Black Iron Ore Planet.
Most of the guarding troops of the mining star have been annihilated by Qi Qian. The war fortress on the periphery of the mining star has also been destroyed, and only some of them escaped by ship.
After Qi Qian left, more than thirty enemy ships returned to the mining star, and happened to encounter Zhou Yang's fleet.
Fifty versus thirty, the two sides exchanged fire, the cannons roared, and countless rays of light illuminated half of the sky.
The warships of the Mine Star Guard Army were not of high level, and they were frightened by Qi Qian's fleet. They scattered and fled after the slightest contact.
"Split up and chase, we must annihilate them all!" Zhou Yang gave the order decisively, and fifty warships accelerated at full speed and pursued them closely.
Zhou Yang's flagship also targeted one ship, which was the highest-level ship in the enemy fleet and was also a mid-level Yushen.
However, Zhou Yang's fleet was superior in numbers, and he did not have the awareness to fight one against one. In addition to his own flagship, another Yushen junior battleship followed in pursuit.
The enemy ship had been damaged by Qi Qian's fleet before, and its speed was greatly affected. It was quickly overtaken by Zhou Yang's flagship, and the ship's heavy artillery opened up its firepower and pounded it hard.
The enemy ships did not dare to fight and fled while fighting.
But the second warship caught up, creating a two-on-one situation. The warship was attacked from both sides and could not escape.
Under the intensive artillery fire, the enemy ship's defensive formation was completely destroyed, and the ship's hull was damaged in many places and was already crumbling.
"White flag!" Zhou Yang stared at the lookout and curled his lips.
The opponent actually raised a white flag and was about to surrender.
What's the use of taking prisoners? After blowing things up, Zhou Yang was about to order the destruction of the enemy ships, but Chi Lingzi's voice came: "It's useful to keep those people."
Zhou Yang was stunned, frowned and asked, "What's the use?"
"Oh, what kind of brain do you have? You don't have many Chaos Beasts left, right?" Chi Lingzi had never scolded him, but at this time he was a little angry.
"Isn't this... a little too cruel?" Zhou Yang understood, but was a little hesitant.
It was normal to kill the opponent on the battlefield, but to let himself drain every prisoner was something the big devil did, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"You kid, are you not cruel if you beat them up? Come on, stop pretending, you are not a kind person. Instead of beating them into flying ash, it would be better for you to suck them into flying ash." Chi Lingzi rolled his eyes. .
"Well, they are all soldiers, and they must have killed a lot of people. Since they can kill, they must also be prepared to be killed. Then they will follow the teachings of their predecessors and use them as waste!" Zhou Yang got off the donkey and ordered the ship Long surrender.
If you don't need it, take it back first.
Not only that, he used the divine treasure of sound transmission to inform other warships that if there were any surrenders, they would accept them and take good care of those prisoners.
In this battle, nineteen enemy ships were destroyed and more than 20,000 enemy soldiers were killed. Thirteen enemy ships and more than 10,000 troops were surrendered, including 31 who were in the early stage of God Control, and the rest were all at the peak of Virtual God.
Zhou Yang's temporary fleet also lost one Yushen-class and three God-class reinforced ships, with more than 3,000 casualties among officers and soldiers.
The appearance of these captives is similar to that of the races in the Taiwei Star Domain, and their language is the same. Some of them are even from the same race scattered between the two star domains.
Zhou Yang personally took action against the captives who were at the level of imperial gods, sealing their cultivation.
As for other prisoners, they were also handed over to their subordinates to handle them accordingly.
Because Qi Qian left in a hurry, there was no time to clean up the inventory of mineral stars. This gave Zhou Yang an advantage. He ordered his men to go to various mines and collect all the mined black iron, amethyst and other minerals. Not a single piece was allowed. remain.
In order to ensure the safety of the temporary fleet, he transformed several captured warships into scout ships. The giant star field military insignia on the ships remained unchanged, and they were disguised as enemy ships and sent to several directions to detect the enemy's situation.
These scout ships must patrol at least ten days away. Once they discover a situation, they will immediately report it through the divine sound transmission treasure.
A few days later, the Auxiliary General Reserve arrived, and more than 200 warships and more than 200,000 troops joined in, greatly increasing the speed of collection.
In addition, they also searched for eighth-grade divine stones and soul crystals, as well as various materials, useful and useless, and confiscated them all.
This operation lasted for ten days. All 310 warships were fully loaded, and the remaining ones were also loaded with storage treasures. It can be said that the harvest was huge.
Zhou Yang was a money-grubbing person. He inspected the trophies of more than 300 ships one by one. He kept grinning and couldn't stop.
During the inspection process, I naturally couldn't help but take action and plucked a lot of sacred treasures from my storage. In addition to various materials, there were hundreds of millions of eighth-grade sacred stones, as well as more than a thousand soul crystals of various qualities. It can be said to be a huge profit.
His three squadron commanders and captains of all ranks had to be sent away in order to silence them.
Of course, they cannot divide the spoils too much, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the superiors.
What surprised Zhou Yang even more was that there were actually quite a lot of the two auxiliary materials for refining puppets, gold smoke quartz and diopside. Now there were even auxiliary materials for god-level puppets.
Most of the cultivators on the mining star are mining slaves. They are completely indifferent to the massive plundering of the Taiwei star fleet and ignore it.
They are just mining slaves. No matter how much minerals they mine, none of them belongs to them. It doesn’t matter who takes it away.
In the days that followed, Zhou Yang did not start refining the puppet, but started cultivating seeds.
For this reason, he hesitated for a long time.
Killing prisoners is easy to say but not popular, and it goes against the will of nature. Although it is a hostile force, sucking those living people dry is even more demonic than the people in the demonic path.
However, what happened next made him determined.
In the prisoner of war camp, because the rooms were too crowded, the commanders, captain-level figures, and even captain-level officers asked the soldiers to stay away from them to leave enough room for them to move.
