Chapter 1064: Crossing the Boundary of

The Luna Wolves Sergeant shook the blood and brain matter from his Power Fist and walked toward Kalamuosi, who was kneeling on the ground.

"My lord! Noble lord!"

Kalamuosi was streaming with tears and snot, his forehead slamming heavily against the floor.

"Spare me! Spare me! I can manage Ninghuaxing for you! I am familiar with all the mineral veins! I know how to cultivate the highest quality Crystal Cores! Spare my life, I am useful to you!"

The Luna Wolves Sergeant looked down at him and said in a calm tone.

"The Warmaster has ordered: the noble class must be purged. Your very existence is a threat to the order of the Star Alliance."

"No! Wait! I can do anything! I can help you suppress the miners! I can..."

The Power Fist swung down.

The head of the Ninghuaxing administrator, Kalamuosi, exploded, and blue blood and brain tissue splattered all over the family crest on the crystal wall behind him.

It was an ice claw clutching a Crystal Core, symbolizing this family's four-hundred-year rule over Ninghuaxing.

Tal watched his father's corpse, curled up in the corner, holding his head and muttering to himself.

"Don't kill me... don't kill me... I didn't do anything... I was just attending the banquet..."

The Luna Wolves Sergeant walked in front of him and looked down at him for two seconds.

Then he raised his Bolter.

Bang.

The young noble heir, Tal, and the extravagant life he had just begun, ended together on this day.

Fifteen minutes later, all the nobles and their direct guards within Jingguang Zhuangyuan had become mangled corpses.

The Luna Wolves Space Marines began to systematically search the manor, collecting all records related to Crystal Core technology, mineral vein maps, and resource distribution.

Ninghuaxing lower mine.

The massacre at Jingguang Zhuangyuan was not an isolated incident.

At the same time, seven other major noble residential areas on Ninghuaxing were subjected to precision strikes by the Luna Wolves.

But an accident occurred in one place; near the "Deep Gold Vein," the largest Crystal Core mine in the southern hemisphere of the planet, a small group of nobles escaped the first wave of the purge.

Led by Mining Director Weilakesi, this group of about a dozen people fled into the depths of the "Deep Gold Vein" mine in a private Crystal Energy Shuttle during the chaos before the drop pods landed.

This mine stretched for hundreds of kilometers, its internal structure as complex as a labyrinth, and it contained countless Nests and underground villages where miners lived.

Weilakesi was a shrewd middle-aged Saikeshan; he possessed neither the arrogance of Kalamuosi nor the recklessness of Gelakesi.

After fleeing into the mine, he immediately realized his only path to survival: incitement.

"Miner brothers! Listen to me!"

Weilakesi stood on the largest lift platform in the center of the mine, shouting through a loudspeaker crystal to the Nests on the surrounding rock walls.

Most of these miners were in rags, the Crystal Cores on their foreheads dim and lusterless, their skin covered in crystallized scars from long-term exposure to raw Crystal Core radiation; they poked their heads out from the dark caves, looking blankly at the gorgeously dressed but currently disheveled noble lords on the platform.

"The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is here!"

Weilakesi's voice was filled with grief and indignation.

"They are not here to conquer; they are here to exterminate! Jingguang Zhuangyuan has already been blood-washed! The Administrator! General Gelakesi! All the nobles! They have all been slaughtered by them!"

Low gasps and commotion erupted in the mine.

Although the miners had no love for the nobles, words like "slaughter" and "extermination" still stirred instinctive fear.

"But they won't just kill the nobles!"

Weilakesi continued to incite, pointing at the dense crowd of miners below.

"To these Humans, they view all Saikeshan as Aliens! As pests that must be purged! The nobles are dead, and next, it will be your turn!"

"How do you know?"

A bold old miner shouted from the crowd.

"Maybe they are just here to kill you lords!"

Weilakesi cursed inwardly, but his expression became even more tragic.

"Because I saw it with my own eyes! After they finished slaughtering the nobles, they began to advance toward the civilian districts! The worker sheds in the northern mine have already been swallowed by flames! They want to wipe out all Saikeshan and then occupy our Crystal Core veins!"

This was a naked lie, but in this information-isolated underground world, lies were often more powerful than the truth.

"Then... what do we do?"

A young miner asked, trembling.

A sharp glint flashed in Weilakesi's eyes.

"Resist! Unite and resist! The Deep Gold Vein mine has three hundred thousand miners! We are familiar with the terrain! We can use Crystal Core energy to build weapons! Most importantly..."

Weilakesi raised his arms high, his voice reaching its peak.

"If we don't resist, we are just waiting to die! If we resist, there is at least a glimmer of hope! And I promise, all miners who participate in the resistance will be granted the status of free citizens once we succeed! You will no longer be slave miners, but citizens of Ninghuaxing! Citizens who can share in the wealth of the Crystal Cores!"

This promise struck the deepest desire in the miners' hearts.

Freedom? Sharing wealth? This was something their ancestors never dared to dream of.

Under the continuous incitement of Weilakesi and his noble cronies, more and more miners began to gather.

They picked up mining Energy Drills, Crystal Blast Pickaxes, and crude Crystal Energy Rods; with slight modifications, these tools could become rough but lethal weapons.

In just six hours, over fifty thousand incited miners had gathered in the Deep Gold Vein mine.

They blocked the main passages, set up Crystal Blast Traps in key locations, and used primitive methods to concentrate Crystal Core energy to create Energy Ejection Points.

Weilakesi stood on a makeshift command platform, looking at the sea of angry, agitated miners below, a hint of triumph welling up in his heart.

"Let them come,"

he whispered to the noble confidants beside him.

"Let these tin cans taste the wrath of three hundred thousand miners. Once they suffer heavy losses, perhaps we will have bargaining chips."

Sajisi, Captain of the Second Squad of the Luna Wolves Third Company, had just finished clearing the seventh noble manor when he received the report of large-scale resistance in the Deep Gold Vein mine.

"How many rebels?"

Sajisi asked the scout through the communication channel.

"Estimated over fifty thousand, sir. And the number is increasing. They have blocked the main entrances, set traps, and appear to be organized."

A sigh came from beneath Sajisi's faceplate.

"Father's orders: eliminate the nobles, suppress the rebellion, and preserve the compliant labor force. These miners have been incited by the nobles and have already crossed the line of 'compliance'."

Sajisi pulled up the 3D map of the Deep Gold Vein Mine and formulated a battle plan.

"First, notify the Cruiser in orbit to prepare for a precision meltdown of the mine's secondary entrances and exits, blocking their retreat and reinforcement routes."

"Second, mobilize our soldiers."

"Third, I want the entire Ninghuaxing to see clearly the fate of those who resist the Luna Wolves."
