They won.
In the face of the surprise attack of the coalition forces of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans, the Chen family achieved a complete victory at a very low price.
In the face of such a brilliant victory, even the previous estimate of fifty-fifty seemed very conservative. It should be said that it was a surprising outcome.
The Chen family easily survived the crisis of being swallowed up and divided up.
But …
They looked at the tens of thousands of corpses that were constantly being collected.
And the many Protoss masters who died with grievances.
The senior members of the Chen family knew that the challenge had just begun.
This was a battle that they had won so easily. How to end it next had become the most troublesome problem.
"The Tonghuang and Mugu clans have suffered such heavy losses. When the news gets back, they will not be willing to give up. I'm afraid that after spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, they will try their best to retaliate against our Chen family and form a situation where they will fight to the death."
"Of course, now that the Tonghuang and Mugu clans have been severely injured, they are no longer a threat to the Chen family. Moreover, after their strength has been severely weakened, the interests that they hold in their hands that belong to the first and second major Protoss clans will certainly be coveted by the lower-ranked clans. In a world where the strong are respected, only the strong are qualified to occupy more resources. So the main focus of the two clans is to consider how to protect the interests in their hands."
"It's just that the Chen family's performance this time is too strong and exaggerated. Those arrogant Protoss who have always looked down on the human race will probably be greatly stimulated. First, they will find it hard to believe and wildly question us. Second, they will come to provoke us, suppress our momentum, and restore the face and dignity of the Protoss."
"So, what the Chen family will face next may be the pressure exerted by the entire Protoss community."
This was very easy to understand.
The Chen family's performance this time was so outstanding. They made full use of their advantages and strategies to completely destroy the coalition forces of the first and second major clans. It could be said that they had refreshed the negative impressions that the human race was weak, that humans could not withstand a single blow, and so on.
It was like a harsh slap in the face to those Protoss who despised humans.
But the feeling of being slapped in the face was not a good one. The feeling of being counterattacked was very embarrassing. Those with strong self-esteem even wanted to slap in the face immediately.
Immediately suppress the arrogance and complacency of the human race!
So …
How to deal with the feeling of being slapped in the face, how to stop the Protoss community, and how to make the next wave of counterattacks had become the problem that must be solved in front of them.
"Grandpa, what should we do next?"
Chen Jun Feng looked at Chen Jin. He really couldn't think of a very reliable solution and hoped that Chen Jin could give them some ideas.
"Uh …"
Chen Jin pondered for a moment and immediately thought of a way. He said, "The allied forces of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans will all be silenced in the Chen family's fortress. There are also many electromagnetic jammers installed in the fortress. The result of this battle should not have been reported to the outside world for now. "
"First-hand information is still in our hands."
"Therefore, instead of responding passively, it is better to take the initiative to disclose it and clarify the distinct force field of the Chen family. We will build the image of a helpless victim and win some sympathy."
"In addition, announce the cause and effect of everything to the public. Point out the arrogance and tyranny of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans. In the face of villains who came knocking on our door, the millions of members of the Chen family did not want to stretch out their necks and wait to be slaughtered. In order to survive, we could only fight back with all our might and luckily survive."
"In short, we were forced to do everything. Resistance was a choice made when we were in a desperate situation. If we were to change our standpoint and put ourselves in the Chen family's shoes, killing the Protoss who invaded the Chen family's fortress would be the final choice that all forces would make."
In summary, Chen Jin's method could be summed up in six words: Act pitiful and gain sympathy.
He had to gain a moral advantage in public opinion.
"I understand, grandpa!"
Chen Junfeng nodded. He immediately knew what to do.
It just so happened that after Xing Hai Entertainment was sold, several media and publicity agencies that were separated from the company were still in the hands of the Chen family. Their dissemination and influence were not small.
So, a few hours later.
The news media under the Chen family produced a number of eye-catching news reports and placed them on various social media platforms.
The title of the report was very explosive.
"The allied forces of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans killed their way into the Chen family's fortress in broad daylight, just to destroy the Chen family branch, and use violent means to seize benefits."
"What did the Chen family do not do enough? 60% of the annual profits are offered, yet they are still treated like this? "
"There is no other way to choose but to resist!"
"Rather die in glory than live in dishonor. The Chen family vows to die rather than be slaves."
"After a day and night of fierce battle, the Chen family paid the price of sacrificing millions and won the battle of self-defense. They killed all the villains."
"We won, a difficult and pyrrhic victory. Don't invade our Chen family's fortress again!"
News after news continued to be released.
There were even some small videos of the battle, which gave people a sense of the tragic extent of the battle.
The most shocking was the scene of corpses piling up like mountains and blood flowing like a sea. The degree of shock and impact could be said to be off the charts.
When these explosive news reports came out and the vast number of Protoss netizens watched them, it could be said that they were in an uproar.
Immediately, there was a heated discussion:
"The Tonghuang and Mugu clans actually went to attack the Chen family's fortress?"
"The Chen family is sheltered by the two major clans. They take out 60% of the profits every year and distribute it equally to the two clans. But the two clans are still not satisfied. They actually want to swallow up the Chen family?"
"Greed is insatiable. Since they have already taken the lion's share, there is no need to push their luck. Let's give them a way out."
"No problem. The Chen family's counterattack is not a big problem. If it were any other clan, they could only choose to resist."
"Hiss … This battle is really tragic. A few bloody photos are full of corpses. It's simply disgusting. Fortunately, they were reported and censored. Otherwise, many Protoss would have been traumatized."
"The Chen family suffered millions of casualties and annihilated the invading enemy? This is a lose-lose situation. If my Tengshe clan were to take action at this time, wouldn't there be hope for us to defeat the three major forces? "This netizen was very excited.
"Hey, stop eating bloody steamed buns. Our Protoss have been passed down for millions of years, but we have always been 'barbarians' and 'powerful but immoral' in the mouth of the weak human race. Although this statement is a bit biased, our Protoss have also entered the information age. We really have to have some ideas of a civilized race."
Immediately, this Protoss netizen was scolded miserably, "Where did this Mother Goddess of the Protoss come from? Get lost as far as you can!"
A war of words broke out in the comments section, and soon, the atmosphere became foul.
…
As the Chen family revealed the situation, it was reported by the news media.
The Tonghuang and Mugu clans were immediately shocked and howled.
"Six ancestors of the Shenguang order, thousands of masters, and tens of thousands of troops were completely annihilated. No one survived. They died in the resistance of the Chen family's fortress. How … How is this possible? How is this possible?! "
"Fake, the news must be fake. How can a mere fortress stop the masters of our clan?"
But even if they vehemently denied it verbally, it was difficult to accept this information.
But it was an indisputable fact that the army of tens of thousands of practitioners never returned. There was no news at all.
Even if they struggled and denied it verbally, countless worries and fears gradually surged in their hearts.
Another half a day passed.
Through a third-party logistics agency, tens of thousands of corpses were transported from the Chen family's fortress to the two major clans.
They looked at the cold bodies that were both familiar and strange at the same time.
The members of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans looked as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Then, monstrous anger and fear gushed out.
"Father, brother, grandfather! Wake up, you guys! " Tonghuang Moshan's sister, Tonghuang Feixue, an extremely beautiful woman, almost fainted from crying.
"Chen family, the damn Chen family! How dare you do this? How dare you? "
"Die! Everyone in the Chen family must die! We must take revenge! "
"Kill them. Immediately organize a second batch of masters. We must wipe out the Chen family! Then extract their souls and burn and refine them day and night. Let them understand the price of angering the Tonghuang family! "
There were shouts of killing. The members of the two major clans with bloodshot eyes were clamoring to immediately seek revenge on the Chen family and kill them all.
But …
No matter how loud they shouted, not a single one of them could move their feet and walk.
"Our Tonghuang family has suffered heavy losses. Our family's interests will soon be coveted by other clans. The Tonghuang family can no longer afford to suffer any losses."
"The Chen family's vengeance has to be put aside for now. We must immediately be vigilant against other clans attacking our family's territory and interests. None of our masters can leave." The Mugu clan had the same view.
After all, the strategy to devour the Chen family had failed. The two clans had lost more than 60% of their powerful practitioners. The two clans that were originally ranked first and second in terms of strength would fall at least a dozen places after suffering such heavy losses.
The huge interests in their hands could not be guarded at all.
Based on the cultural tradition of "the strong are respected" within the Protoss, the probability of other clans not hitting them when they were down was zero.
Therefore, the priority of "revenge" was placed after "guarding the interests of the family."
Even so.
The two major clans still did not want the Chen family to live too comfortably. They also published a large number of articles in the media, frantically attacking the Chen family.
"The Chen family is extremely sinister and vicious. On the surface, they are vassals, but in fact, they have long had the intention to rebel against the Protoss."
"Everyone, look at the Chen family's fortress. The addition of that military equipment is not to guard against the Protoss? Superficial submission is a lie, but the conspiracy against them is real. "
"Nonsense! The Chen family verbally said that they would hand over 60% of their profits, but there is no accounting for how much they gave. In fact, it was far less than 60%. They felt the Chen family's deception and had no choice but to use force to suppress them. "
"The Chen family lied. They didn't lose millions at all. Those photos of the corpses were all composited. On the contrary, most of the dead and injured masters of our two major clans were killed in one blow. There were few traces of fighting … The vicious Chen family must have developed some kind of powerful weapon."
"We are the Protoss. How can we be deceived and confused by mere humans? No matter how the Chen family explains, slaughtering the Protoss is treason! The Chen family must die! "
"Today, the Chen family has dealt a heavy blow to the Tonghuang and Mugu clans. Next time, they will deal a heavy blow to the entire Protoss. My fellow compatriots, please open your eyes and see the true face of the Chen family. We cannot let such cunning humans continue to put on a show. The only option is to kill them all."
Towards the end of the war of public opinion, the Tonghuang and Mugu clans cleverly focused the conflict on the racial conflict between the Protoss and the humans.
In fact, over the years, the conflict and rift between the Protoss and the humans had grown bigger and bigger. They were increasingly displeased with each other.
The Protoss felt that the humans were cowardly and weak, but also cunning and unusually shrewd. They often jumped up and down and could not be killed completely.
In the eyes of the humans, the Protoss were even more unbearable. They were barbaric, brutal, unreasonable, and without morals … They were simply a cancer of the solar system.
The conflicts between the two sides were increasing rapidly every year.
Now, the Chen family had appeared and taken away the lives of tens of thousands of Protoss, including many masters of the Shenguang order.
This made many Protoss frown and feel disgusted.
"How can the noble lives of the Protoss be taken at will by the Chen family?"
"Chen family, how did you kill the ancestors of the Shenguang order? Have you developed a weapon of great lethality? Hand it over, or die! "
"The Protoss want to destroy the Chen family, yet the Chen family dares to resist. Why don't you just stay there and accept your death? Do you look down on the Protoss and have long had the intention to resist? The Chen family really can't be left alive. They must be eliminated! "
"That's right! You despicable, lowly humans. Killing you is a reward from the Protoss. Just accept your death with gratitude. How dare you resist? Do you dare to go against the heavens? "
"Why don't we get rid of the Chen family? This cancer can't be left alive, otherwise, there will be hidden dangers!"
"On this earth, everything is decided by the Protoss. The Chen family and the humans have no right to resist. Anyone who resists must die!"
"…"
After a few days of fermentation.
In the public opinion, there were more and more voices calling for the Chen family to be killed. Many conspiracy theories emerged, describing the Chen family as harboring evil intentions and conspiring against the Protoss. No matter what, the Chen family had to be destroyed …
There was even a reversal of public opinion. The number of Protoss netizens who sympathized with the Chen family or stood neutral was decreasing.
…
Inside the villa.
Sweat broke out on Chen Junfeng's forehead. He completely did not understand why the public opinion had become like this. How did the voices calling for the Chen family to be killed suddenly increase so much that it even became the mainstream?
"This is very normal, and it has nothing to do with morality. It's just like when humans fight with wild boars. Although humans are the hunters and want to kill the wild boar, the wild boar wins and kills the humans instead. Then, other humans will not sympathize with the wild boar's struggle for survival. Instead, they will feel that the wild boar is dangerous and should be eliminated."
Chen Jin shook his head and smiled. "This kind of thing is easier to cause people to take sides than racism. After all, the Protoss and humans are two different species."
Even if they had high intelligence and could communicate.
However, the other clans were like wild boars.
"Then … what should we do? Grandpa, the public opinion is not on the side of reason. Next, there will definitely be some clans who will attack the Chen family. It's even possible that they will join forces to besiege us. No matter how powerful the Chen family is, we can't stop a steady stream of attacks. "
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Jin smiled at him. "The second step of the plan can be implemented. The secret weapon that the Chen family has been developing for decades – the naga bio-mecha that can kill those of a higher rank can be released to the public. We will explain the reason for the Chen family's victory and send out a signal: the naga bio-mecha can be sold to the public. Those who are interested can apply to purchase it!"
Releasing a new type of weapon.
Selling the naga bio-mecha?
Chen Junfeng's eyes lit up. This was a wonderful move. Although it was another bomb of public opinion, there was indeed hope to change the current unfavorable situation.
