Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"My lord, the mage has already met with the invaders."

"Investigate further and report back."

A little while later.

"Sir, the magician has started arguing with that thin woman."

"..."

What about the qualities you always talk about?

The giant said in a deep voice, "Investigate further and report back."

Two more minutes passed.

"My lord, they've finally started fighting, and it looks like the mage has the upper hand."

Upon hearing this, the giant breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was afraid of hearing news that the arrogant mage had been smashed to pieces as soon as he went up there. If that happened, he would really have no choice but to let the panda run rampant in his fleet.

The giant said, "Let me know when they've decided on the result."

"Yes, my lord!"

The monitoring team member responsible for relaying the message bowed slightly and withdrew.

A battlefield map was placed in front of the giant.

His fingers traced patterns on the gleaming panel as he analyzed how to break through the defenders' lines with minimal losses.

"grown ups!"

At that moment, a cry of surprise interrupted the giant's thoughts.

He turned his head away and asked expressionlessly, "What happened?"

The person who came to report said tremblingly, "Sir, sir, the battle over there has been concluded."

"Oh?"

The giant was startled; only a few minutes had passed.

That's incredibly fast!

"He caught that woman so quickly?"

Not bad at all.

“No, sir,” the reporter said bitterly, “He… he has been banished! (His voice trembled with sobs)”

"What, exile? What does that mean?" The giant's mind couldn't process it for a moment.

"It's that exile."

The person who gave the report explained it.

After cursing for a few minutes, the mage suddenly unleashed a massive area-of-effect spell.

It turns out he was just using the moment of cursing to secretly gather his strength.

However, his opponent was also secretly gathering strength.

Therefore, when that large-scale cataclysmic magic swept across the starry sky, instantly blasting more than a dozen warships to pieces, the chaotic spatial storm immediately descended upon the mage's head.

Similar to the Mechanic, the Mage is also a typical example of a "fragile" character.

The panda was dizzy from being hammered, but the magician fared even worse, struggling desperately to escape the spatial storm.

When he finally reached the edge of the storm, the panda, who had returned to normal, went up and headbutted him in the waist.

"Anyway, I saw his waist suddenly bend at a 150-degree angle."

In the vacuum of space, no one heard the magician's screams.

All I could see was him spinning around, his face contorted, before he was finally swallowed whole by a black gash that had opened up.

"I probably won't die right away, but I need to come back..."

The person giving the report scratched his head.

There have been precedents of people who were banished to other dimensions escaping back to the mortal world, but the probability of that happening is rather pitiful.

"Fate is unpredictable," he sighed.

The giant's chest heaved violently.

What did he see?

He saw one—

"Idiot!"

Grass!

What an idiot!

To hell with civility.

The giant roared, "It's one thing to die, but to do it in such a cowardly way! Couldn't he just fight the enemy honestly? To die like this in front of so many people, is he trying to completely destroy the morale of our army? This piece of trash, he took our money and still managed to blow up more than a dozen of our spaceships."

The strong words caused everyone in the command center to look up at the sky and drift off into daydreams.

Before long, the magician's men burst in from outside.

The man with the purple star imprinted on his face roared, "My older brother is gone just like that! Aren't you going to save him? Without my older brother, you have no chance of winning..."

Snapped!

The giant delivered a resounding slap to the man.

"Shut up! Show some respect to yourselves. Do you really think you're invincible? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll risk my reputation to kill you!"

The crimson aura danced in the air like colorful ribbons. The person's expression changed repeatedly before finally turning away and leaving.

"Sir, they..."

"As long as they do not do anything to harm our army, we will leave them alone for the time being."

"I understand."

The giant rubbed his temples and began issuing orders for a full-scale attack on the planet Burta.

After leaving the command room, the mage's subordinates gathered together.

Now that their leader is gone, they can't even hold their heads up in front of the Giant Spirit Clan.

"It seems we can't get this money here; we can only rely on the money over there."

"If we can't get it, we can't get it. The money over there is three times that of this one."

"But the risks are also considerable."

"This risk is worth taking. Listen to me, when the fighting gets really intense, we won't go to the center of the battlefield, we'll just collect materials right here."

As he spoke, the man took out a metal awl about the thickness of a finger.

"This risk..."

"Worth the risk."

"..."

In just half a day, the fleet of the Li Luan faction had already reached the vicinity of the planet Burta.

Under their all-out attack, the shield of the planet Burta was teetering on the brink of collapse, but it always fell just short.

After some time, when the giant leading the fleet received news from the main battlefield, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, we've successfully held them back. Now it's our turn to shine!"

The gloom in his heart was swept away, and the giant couldn't wait to open his Qi Sea. His body expanded rapidly, and in just a few minutes, he fought his way from the command ship to the sky above the planet Burta.

"They're getting serious now." The defenders of Burta all looked grave.

They never expected the other side to be so serious, to go a little too far.

"Our top fighter was instantly killed!?"

With that giant joining the battlefield, the fleet of the Li Luan faction finally gained an advantage, and the balance of power in the war gradually began to tilt towards the Li Luan faction.

"Hmm, something seems off over there?"

At this moment, the panda that was patrolling behind the fleet stopped.

Even though she didn't attack them, several of their warships suddenly exploded.

With a sense of doubt, the panda flew over with the puppet.

As she approached, she saw several people constantly moving between warships. They were incredibly fast, often emerging from a warship in about a minute, after which the warship would explode.

"Could it be that there are other employees here?"

The panda's doubts did not last long.

Before Burta could give a reply, those people had already set their sights on the panda.

"I was just thinking of coming to get my revenge on you."

"What?"

The panda looked puzzled when it heard the voice coming from the communication channel.

She doesn't know these people, so what revenge could she possibly take?

"Enough with the nonsense! You dared to ambush my brother? Today I'll show you what it's like to turn into this!"

The man shouted, and a silver-white cone suddenly appeared in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, the cone unfolded into a four-legged "clamp" and headed straight for the panda.

There were no flashy special effects, no amazing spectacle, only the man's maniacal laugh.

He originally didn't want to use this method, and this information couldn't be revealed to outsiders.

But now the situation is different. The leader who guided them is gone, and it's too difficult for them to make a living as mercenaries on their own.

Since that's the case, why not take a big gamble? Maybe you'll strike it rich?
