"...Is it really necessary?"
Diamond seemed not to understand where his speechlessness came from.
“Your Excellency,” he stepped forward half a step and said earnestly, “that is the Amber King. Do you know what it means for us faithful believers to witness His intervention firsthand?”
Jiang Jiu remained silent.
Diamond didn't seem to care. He tried to calm his voice: "We've watched that footage countless times... every frame, every second, every detail... the angle at which the hammer fell, the light it created, the moment it shattered the hunter..."
His voice was a little strained.
“That was a miracle, Your Excellency,” Diamond concluded.
Jiang Jiu: "..."
He suddenly seemed to understand why the company had grown to where it is today.
A group of fanatical believers, desperate to make money in order to build a wall for their star god, ended up creating the largest business conglomerate in the entire world. Initially, it was just to earn money for materials for their star god.
...That makes perfect sense.
Very reasonable.
"So..." Jiang Jiu began, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "You support me not because of my identity, not because of the evidentiary value of that video, and not because the Immortal Ship truly deserved to be attacked..."
"...But because of that hammer blow?"
Diamond nodded, and subconsciously said, "Of course."
He paused for two seconds, seemingly realizing that there might be a problem with what he said, and added, "Of course, your status is also very important. Being personally noticed by the Amber King and promoted to the position of Guardian Envoy, your words are quite credible."
Jiang Jiu: "..."
He suddenly realized that his title of guardianship officer was much more useful than he had imagined.
...Never mind, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. At least I helped, so I'll leave it at that.
Ultimately, the goal was achieved.
Apo Li coughed lightly from the side, bringing the topic back on track.
"Your Excellency Shi Jin, what 'diamond' actually means is... the company's support, which is unconditional. Whatever you need, however you want to fight, the company will do everything in its power."
She paused, a hint of anticipation in her voice.
“Of course, it would be even better if you could get the Amber King to help again…”
"Well..."
Jiang Jiu shrugged: "I can't guarantee that the Amber King won't intervene unless it involves a battle at the Star God level, so..."
The old woman understood.
"So... all we need to do is destroy the immortal ship and drag Lan into the water, and the Amber King will make his move, right?"
Jiang Jiu didn't refute, but the person in front of him seemed to have a brightening look in their eyes.
"..."
Xianzhou, you'd better pray that Lanzhen will come to your aid again.
......
After dealing with the issues at the company, Jiang Jiu scrolled through the messages on his phone and thought for a while.
This time, we have more allies than we expected.
Compared to the last time, not only did the family explicitly express their willingness to help, but the combat power that Interstellar Peace Company brought out was also far superior to that of the previous line.
Last time, it seemed like it was quite a struggle to win over reinforcements, wasn't it?
probably.
In short, this time, Screws directly stated that Screws Star was willing to help, leaving aside Black Tower and the Sea Ranger for now.
Onphalus's fighting strength should not be underestimated.
What was rather unexpected was that Xingxiao and Huanlong actually offered to help.
Huanlong is one thing... her goal is to hunt, so why does Xingxiao want to get involved?
Could it be because of Hipe? Or Nanook?
Forget it.
There are too many forces to count, and plenty of reinforcements. All that's missing is his declaration, and then... um...
"Anti-Fairyship Galactic Alliance"?
The atmosphere had been built up to this point; it would seem impolite not to call.
Then let nature take its course.
"The Great Lord Shi Jin of Annihilation has directly and publicly declared war on the Immortal Ship."
The response from various forces was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Jiu.
"The Nameless Guest unconditionally supports Lord Shi Jin."
"The Starry Sky Train unconditionally supports Lord Shi Jin."
Jiang Jiu looked at the two statements and tilted his head in confusion. So the Nameless Guest and the Starry Sky Train are different?
The next moment, the company changed the words "Great Lord of Annihilation" to "Guardian of the Storage Order" in the statement.
"The company unconditionally supports Manager Shi Jin! We are willing to safeguard and guide the future of Interstellar Peace Company!"
"The family supports Shijin's decision."
"Screwstar provides unconditional support."
"Black Tower Space Station..."
"Onpharos..."
"..."
One after another, it was as if announcing the countdown to the death of the immortal ship.
As Jiang Jiu looked at the constantly refreshing messages of support and encouragement from various forces on his phone screen, he suddenly felt an absurd sense of powerlessness.
In the previous timeline, he seemed to have gone to great lengths to win over reinforcements... he searched for people, explained, and proved things, but in the end, there weren't many who were truly willing to go all out.
Or rather, many of them are just playing it out of obligation.
And this line... he just publicly declared war, and then... everyone seemed to come running on their own.
Company, Family, Screw Star, Black Tower Space Station, Onpharos, Sea Patrol Rider, Nameless Guest, Star Train...
There are good guys, bad guys, and all sorts of other miscellaneous forces.
Even Huanlong and Xingxiao volunteered to help.
Could something be wrong?
Jiang Jiu put down his phone and looked in one direction.
In the distance, the company's fleet has begun to assemble.
Asah was right; they were truly ready and just waiting for his word.
My phone vibrated again.
It's news from Jingyuan.
"Sir, is there really no room for negotiation?"
Jiang Jiu stared at the message and remained silent for a long time.
His feelings towards Jing Yuan were always complicated. The reason he always tried to approach Jing Yuan was because he thought that Jing Yuan was indeed very rational, so he held onto a sliver of hope... what if Jing Yuan's words were useful? What if the Immortal Ship could be saved?
but......
He typed a few words, then deleted them all.
In the end, he only replied with one sentence.
"It's too late."
Chapter 189: One Immortal Ship is Missing?
Compared to the previous storyline, Xianzhou seems to be hesitant this time.
But Jiang Jiu didn't want to wait any longer...
He went from being willing to calmly discuss things with Xianzhou at the beginning to flipping the table at the slightest unsatisfactory answer now; he has successfully exhausted all his patience.
Is Xianzhou innocent?
Maybe.
But the world is more innocent.
Whatever, right now Jiang Jiu just wants to resolve things here as soon as possible, and then get on with other matters.
As for the rest...
That's probably not something he should be thinking about.
Not far away, the company's fleet was arranged in an attack formation in the air. Jiang Jiu glanced at it and could only say that the scale of the last deployment was incomparable to this one.
Ya Poli stood beside him, following Jiang Jiu's gaze toward the fleet.
“Lord Shi Jin,” she said softly, “aren’t you going to give the order?”
"The company is currently acting as the temporary contact person for this coalition. If you have a more suitable candidate, the company is willing to give up the command position."
That's what Ya Poli said.
In fact, they would prefer the company to take the lead in this battle, but of course, they wouldn't deny Jiang Jiu command authority.
After all, the company was going all out, and in their eyes, Jiang Jiu was one of their own.
Isn't it a bit right for the company to take command?
Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Including myself, there are three geniuses participating in the battle. Just give them command authority, and you can arrange the rest yourselves."
