Even though they were part of the same alliance, there was still a competitive relationship between them. The more one army gained, the more they would naturally receive.
Chen Ning was a person with great aspirations, and such individuals usually had strong pursuits. The newly formed Alliance of Small Races provided an opportunity to stand out. He anticipated that after a certain period of development, there would definitely be a considerable degree of integration within the alliance. At that time, the boundaries between races might become very thin, ultimately forming a true whole.
The combination of races was not uncommon. In the current All Races of the Universe, apart from a few super races, most did not have pure bloodlines. Otherwise, what would happen to the lives arriving here every year during the guiding sun? Would they live their whole lives in solitude?
Look at Aslan's promise to Ye Zhongming, look at Isabella's pursuit of Pao Bai, look at the planned marriage between the musk ke people and the Hall people... These all illustrate that as long as there wasn't a particularly 'conflicting' bloodline, there wasn't much taboo regarding bloodlines. However, each race would not deliberately dilute their bloodlines; they would prioritize marrying within their own race whenever possible.
But if everyone united over a long enough time, perhaps there would be new changes. This might be the survival path for small races, especially those on the brink of extinction.
Chen Ning felt that having a prominent position in such an alliance was quite significant. This battle would undoubtedly help establish his status.
The Alliance of Small Races acknowledged the Star-Eye Clan as their leader, and why was that? Simply because they were powerful! Once they took control of the entire Alliance of Small Races in the future, they would become even stronger.
However, Chen Ning was well aware of the Star-Eye Clan's weakness: their number of warriors was too small! In order to develop and grow in the future, they would inevitably have to rely on the assistance of other races. In simpler terms, they would have to share power, and Chen Ning believed he would gain something from it.
With this mindset, and believing victory was assured, he was certainly not pleased with certain 'rumors' circulating at the moment.
In essence, his thoughts were quite similar to Ye Zhongming's; the only difference was that, aside from leveraging power, he could not offer more benefits like Ye Zhongming could.
"According to the military achievement statistics previously published..."
The military achievement statistician began to discuss the regulations that everyone had set before. He then presented the battle report from the second army, as they had received it earlier and it was more accurate and detailed.
"In three days, the second army hunted a total of 100,573 prey, with the most valuable being the pond ox beast group, totaling over 15,000 heads with a total value of around 31 million Moon Age Gold. The remaining prey, about 90,000 heads, had a value of over 23 million. The total value of prey in three days was over 55 million."
After hearing this report, even Cheng Liujin and Ye Zhongming were astonished. The second army had indeed made a huge profit — acquiring so many valuable prey in just three days. No wonder they were so dissatisfied with the so-called victory of the first army; it turned out their harvest was substantial.
"What about the first army?"
Leona anxiously wanted to know the results. She understood the situation better than Chen Ning but was still uncertain about the final outcome.
Even the two lords of the Star Eye Clan felt the same way.
The military achievement officer presented the report from the first army. Although he had already seen it prior, it was still shocking!
"In three days, the first army hunted a total of... 151,320 prey."
This statement left everyone in the room, except for Cheng Liuji and others from the first army who already knew the result, quite stunned.
