Even this ransom alone was worth far more than what the Dark Peng could have salvaged from the wreckage of the Death Strangler after sinking it!
If they could obtain those eight thousand units of Titanium Crystal without a hitch,
it would be enough to make a huge leap forward in the reserves of Titanium Crystal needed to evolve the Dark Peng!
Since an agreement had been signed in the name of its own ransom,
Wang Dong and the others had no interest in violating it.
The Nanli Principality was powerful and prosperous; it was even less likely to break its word.
Thus,
for the time that followed, the Dark Peng made a point of staying out of the conflict.
The Death Strangler hadn't been bluffing.
Immediately after completing its random spatial jump, it had indeed used some special means to send a distress signal to the Nanli Principality.
Only afterward had it deliberately released Mie Particles over a small area, preventing the Xitu Federation assault team that had boarded the ship from revealing the Death Strangler's location.
More than ten hours later,
while the fighting inside the Death Strangler was still raging,
reinforcements from the Nanli Principality arrived!
And they came with two Star Destroyers!
The Dark Peng didn't enter stealth mode.
It kept a safe distance from the Death Strangler,
coldly watching the Nanli Principality reinforcements dock with the Death Strangler as assault troops poured aboard.
With their overwhelming advantage,
the Xitu Federation assault team that had invaded the Death Strangler fought to the bitter end.
But they were at the end of their rope, and it didn't take long for them to fall.
Next, even when facing three Star Destroyers,
the Dark Peng still appeared utterly unafraid.
It wasn't that Wang Dong had suddenly become an overconfident
