Chapter 1812 - 1443: Expansion (First Update)
The remaining twelve prisoners present were filled with anger, wanting to resist.
Unfortunately, they were pinned down firmly by the Spirit Touchers on site, unable to move at all.
Mankadi’s presence surged, and his gaze became incredibly sharp. However, as time passed, his expression grew increasingly sullen.
About ten minutes later, Mankadi released his grip, and Warren collapsed straight to the ground, eyes vacant, face blank like an idiot.
Before Brunan and others could ask, Mankadi walked straight to the next prisoner, placing his hand on their head, beginning to frantically extract their memories.
It didn’t take long before Mankadi tossed aside this prisoner and moved to the one beside them.
Soon, one by one, prisoners had their memories extracted by him, turning into idiots and collapsing.
Eventually, there was only one Captain left. The Captain looked at his companions’ miserable state, his face unusually pale, his body trembling.
Mankadi, by this time, was also walking in extreme anger towards him, reaching out to extract his memory.
Suddenly, the Captain knelt down with a thud and pleaded for mercy.
"Please, spare me. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know."
"Hmph, do we need you to tell us? We can get whatever we want."
As Mankadi spoke, he was about to reach out to the Captain.
But he was blocked by Brunan, who said in a deep voice, "Let’s not extract anything yet, talk about the situation first."
Mankadi’s expression shifted for a moment before he finally spoke.
"I extracted the memories of this group, and it turns out they each only know their own tasks. They know absolutely nothing about anything else, not even this war, which they received a last-minute notice to initiate."
"That’s right, we really don’t know anything. We received our task instructions last minute, and the only requirement was to complete our tasks. As for anything else, we know nothing."
The last Captain prisoner replied fearfully.
Mogasi and the others, after hearing this, were increasingly serious.
"Icaroya, that Mad Woman, really has a way with things. She issued missions on a single line without any battlefield command; she’s not even afraid of a backlash!"
"The problem is, her strategy has succeeded for now, and our situation is extremely grim."
Kalron replied irritably.
The core members of the Eternal Sleep Clan present were all very uneasy, experiencing this sense of oppression for the first time.
"Take this prisoner away."
Brunan waved his hand and gave a deep order.
"Yes!"
The Spirit Toucher beside immediately and cautiously took the prisoner away.
"Why are we keeping this prisoner alive? There’s no value, we might as well dispose of him!"
Mogasi said brutally.
"Our infiltration and lurking have been deciphered by Star Ring City; all hidden moves have been uprooted. Since that guy’s mental defense has already collapsed, keeping him around might be useful in the future."
Brunan replied calmly.
"The enemy is almost at our doorstep, who knows if there will be a future!"
Mogasi answered angrily.
"Mogasi, are you afraid?"
Brunan fixed a cold stare on Mogasi and asked.
"Brunan, are you questioning me? How could I possibly be afraid?"
Mogasi replied as if someone had stepped on a cat’s tail.
"Then why speak such defeatist words! The Eternal Sleep Clan has traversed countless universes for millions of years, assimilating countless civilizations without ever losing. There was none before, and there won’t be any in the future! We have so many people, are we actually afraid of Star Ring City?"
Brunan passionately spoke to everyone.
All the present members of the Eternal Sleep Clan immediately lifted their heads, each one responding excitedly.
"Not afraid! Eternal Sleep Clan is eternal!"
In an instant, the previously low morale skyrocketed.
Brunan looked at everyone’s response with immense satisfaction, and he said murderously, "Very good, everyone prepare for battle. Let the people of Star Ring City see who truly is the Sovereign of this universe!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.

Star Ring City · Inner Ring.
Towering giant factories rose from the ground, countless workers were directing multifunctional mecha to transport various equipment.
"Be nimble, and careful not to drop anything."
"Reactor No. 4, hurry to Factory 92."
...
The whole area was exceptionally bustling.
At this time, Icaroya, dressed in a blue gown with an indifferent expression, appeared alone in this construction area.
She walked in coldly, and upon stepping inside, heard discussions.
"Supervisor Feige, I’m a bit puzzled, why is Lord Icaroya building so many factories to produce so many Star Dust drill bits."
"It’s not your business, why do you ask so much?"
Feige, busy as all get-out, replied irritably to the subordinate.
"It’s just curiosity. I heard it’s not just us building; I heard all three major Birthplaces received construction KPIs, and that must cost a lot of money."
"Money? I’m telling you, half of Star Ring City’s accumulated reserves over the years have been invested."
Feige replied irritably.
"Then why is Lord Icaroya doing this? Building so many factories, almost draining the reserves. And what’s the purpose of producing so much when we’ve already made a bunch just sitting in the warehouse gathering dust?"
"You’re asking me, who am I to ask? Can’t go and ask.....
Feige was halfway through his sentence when he immediately saw Icaroya stop beside him, and he was instantly frightened, his face turning pale.
He nearly collapsed on the spot, hurriedly stammering.
"Lord Icaroya, wh-why are you here."
Immediately, all the workers present realized the situation and were frightened to the point of trembling.
Icaroya asked coldly, "How’s the factory construction going."
"They’re basically completed. We’re now transporting equipment inside for installation. It’ll definitely be finished within the deadline!"
Feige assured confidently.
After listening, Icaroya walked straight inside, and Feige hurried to follow, trembling as he went.
In his heart, he cursed his gossiping subordinates profusely, blaming them for asking such things at such a critical moment.
Things are done for now; the Icaroya City Lord must have heard.
While Feige was worried and anxious inside,
Icaroya walked all the way inside, constantly observing every newly established factory and occasionally randomly inspecting a few inside.
She spoke nothing throughout, and following Feige felt like dying.
After a long while, as Icaroya seemed to finish observing the newly built factories, she stopped walking.
By this time, Feige’s forehead was covered with sweat.
Icaroya turned to Feige and said, "Not bad. Starting today, you will go to the three major Birthplaces to supervise the construction of factories in all countries. If they can’t complete on time, you know the consequences."
"Yes, yes!"
Feige nodded immediately in reply.
