"The bugs are retreating here?"

Grace grabbed the laser gun with his numb hands, and stared at the empty cabin in a daze.

Just a few minutes ago, the bugs suddenly turned around and left.

This hidden command ship had already been breached by the bugs, and they came here to provide emergency support, barely blocking the attack of the bugs, keeping the command system of the thousands of warships on this side unobstructed, and buying time for the backup command ships to arrive in the airspace.

In just ten minutes of contact battle, he brought more than 60 percent of the casualties of the players, and the defense line also retreated again and again.

And then......

The bugs are gone all of a sudden.

They should be emotionless.

But Grace felt a kind of fear and panic in these bugs.

"Grace! Grace, are you okay! ”

"Not dead yet," Grace replied in a hoarse voice.

Images of fierce battles kept flashing in his mind, and the bugs' frenzied attack on the second battlefield for several hours caused a large number of casualties here, and also made Grace's spirit tense all the time.

'You can't rest, you have to go and support other places. ’

Grace opened the exoskeleton armor, opened his waist bag, took out the pill that stimulates his own nerve activity and increases his metabolic rate, and he is about to swallow it with his hand.

Suddenly there was a cheer from his headphones:

"We've won!"

"The insect tide has receded! It's all back! ”

"The Great Queen has been killed! The Great Queen is dead! ”

Grace was stunned, looked at the capsule in his hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then, like a rusty robot, he stiffened two steps back, leaning against the arc-shaped bulkhead, and slowly slid down until his ass sat firmly on the ground.

"Made, I'm almost exhausted."

Grace turned his head to look at the mutilated bodies in the cabin.

There were the corpses of bugs, as well as human soldiers, his usual opponents in Skywrath Fortress, and his team members.

The constant cheers in the headphones made Grace's mood less stuffy.

This is war.

War is to the death.

What's more, this is a duel between the Terrans and the Zerg, a battle to the death between the two sides in a game of survival, and it is certainly fortunate to be able to survive, and it is better to die here than to die in the war between humans and humans.

Grace opened the network access terminal and glanced at it a few times, and was also shocked when he saw the news of [Emperor Star Dispatching and Killing the Insect King].

When I saw the news that [the white ghost relied on the biological mecha to face the insect king head-on], I was not shocked in my heart, as if I ...... That's what that guy can do.

It's good to win.

Grace pulled out his e-cigarette, leaned against the bulkhead, and began to swallow the clouds.

It's good to win.

……

[Imperial Daily Publishes Victory Briefing:

Now, to all the subjects of the Great Emperor throughout the Empire, I declare that the Worm Tide has been crushed head-on by my valiant Imperial army.

Over the past two days, the Empire's soldiers have fought to the death to keep the tide out of the Empire's core area, and after paying a heavy price, the Empire has crushed the giant mother worm head-on.

The soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives to protect human life are heroes that need to be remembered.

Please note that there are still a large number of insect swarms remaining in the Empire, and the Imperial Ship Group is carrying out extermination activities, so please continue to live in the shelter for two to three days until the Insect Plague Alert is lifted.

It turns out that the highly centralized system of the empire is not lagging behind within the galaxy.

In this insect wave, we have endured more than 30% of the pressure, wiped out the largest number of insect swarms, and saved not only the lives of the people of the Empire, but also the lives of countless humans in the galaxy.

The Great Emperor will lead his wise, intelligent, brave, and fearless people with unwavering determination to usher in a new era of empires in the galaxy. 】

……

It's over?

Revell sat in the flagship's seat, his eyes slightly stunned.

The fleet has received an order for joint rearmament, and they will chase after the insects that are scattering and retreating.

He sighed, opened his usual 'Imperial Rich Brother' chat group, and sent a few messages.

The staff officer on the side walked over with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Earl, you have performed very well in this battle, and you will definitely be rewarded by the Imperial Military Department in the future." ”

"Really? Did I do anything? ”

Revell smiled bitterly, looked at the sky outside the porthole, and sighed softly:

"The powerful Imperial Guard system has really given me a long time...... My idol is still so fierce, chasing sixth-order insects and slashing indiscriminately, the pseudo-queen is not his opponent, have you watched the hottest video now? ”

The staff officer asked, "Is it the part where the Emperor Star Mecha appeared?" ”

"The amount of playback is not very good, and it has begun to take the initiative to reduce the heat, and the empire doesn't seem to like people to discuss the Emperor Star and the Levy Ship Regiment."

Revell squinted and smiled:

"It's the part of my idol that transformed, and suddenly it turned into a super creature mecha and shook the queen head-on, which is also too scary."

The staff officer smiled: "According to the information we got, it is not the ghost lord who has become a biological mecha, but the Valkyrie Po Sa, who was conquered by the ghost lord himself, turned into a mecha at that moment, and now, Po Sao seems to have been sacrificed, but it is likely that he can be resurrected again through the magical rebirth ability of the ancient god life form." ”

"Rebirth," Revere lamented, "the power is tempting. ”

"It's tempting, but it's also dangerous."

The staff officer groaned a few times:

"According to the news circulating in the Imperial Military Department, the ancient god transformation experiment is not a technology that we can master, and the ghost lord and the Valkyrie are both the sparks sown by high-dimensional civilizations in the empire.

"They are high-dimensional warriors who exist to fight against the high-dimensional swarm, but they are still 'juvenile versions'.

"Therefore, even if someone is sensitive to the keywords of rebirth and eternal life, they will not dare to take action against the ghost-sama."

Revell shook his head: "No, don't underestimate the greed of the human heart. ”

"Yes, the human heart is the dirtiest thing that cannot be looked at directly."

The staff officer seemed to have thought of something, sighed softly, and then perked up.

"Lord Earl, we will continue to attack the Zerg in the future, and I suggest that the Saka Star escort team that sacrificed so much before be given the pilot mission to give them more merits."

"Yes."

Revell laughed:

"To be honest, I'd love to be on that ship, to be a captain or a fire controller, instead of sitting here all the time doing nothing and watching the Imperial Guard system issue a barrage of orders.

"By the way, what is the loss on the Blue Star?"

"Preliminary statistics put more than 52 million people and soldiers dead...... Fortunately, our shelter has adopted a layered and stealthy design, and although the bugs have breached some of them, they have been delayed enough time before the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Revell suddenly asked, "Is my idol critical this time?" ”

"Of course."

Staff Officer Zhengsedao:

"Whether it is the early stage of the biological shielding device technology against insects, or the encouragement and mobilization effect of the military and civilians, or the strategic core value of constantly defeating the pseudo-queen in the war, and the key role in the duel against the big queen, these are all great credits.

"According to the preliminary report given by the Imperial Guard system, Lord Ghost saved tens of billions of lives for the Empire, ensuring that the Empire was not crushed by the Insect Tide."

Revell smiled: "Then you say, what will be waiting for my idol in the future?" ”

"Well, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"I'm not as good as you militarily, and you still can't do it politically," Revell shook his head and looked at the porthole in front of him, "Whether it's a super reformer with high merit and a famous general in history, there are too many things to hide." ”

The staff officer said with a smile: "But I think that this military merit and contribution must not be slandered and erased in any form." ”

"The angle is not right," Revell said indifferently, "If someone starts to take the rhythm - this insect tide was originally the Great Queen's order to wipe out the white ghost, so it broke out, how do you take it?" ”

"This ......"

"I've seen the arguments," Revere said, "that no one at home or abroad can tolerate my idol, and now I'm worried about it." ”

The staff officer frowned and said: "The reason for the insect tide is because the Great Queen is about to ascend to the dimension, and she wants to suppress the strength of human civilization in the galaxy before the ascension, so as to provide conditions for the later queen mother worm to ascend, and this is the main reason." ”

"Public opinion is a little girl who can be dressed up."

Revell snorted:

"I can't contact my idol right now, but my idol should be able to deal with the current problem.

"All I can do is let my own media company do some shows and use my meager funds to snipe at these rhythms.

"However, I definitely can't fight against those big forces, so I can only do my best."

The staff officer was curious: "Then Lord Earl, what kind of way should Lord Ghost use to resolve the subsequent troubles?" ”

"I don't know, he does things in a wild way, I can't think of specifics."

Revell squinted and smiled, then sighed again, looking at the replies of those 'Imperial Rich Brothers' in the group chat, and chatted with them intently.

These guys, their own energy should not be underestimated.

……

Frontal Battlefield of the Empire.

The Dongfeng followed near the Levy ship group, and Yang Wei began to 'rub experience' openly, absorbing the strange energy brought to him by the death of a large number of insect swarms.

He was able to move freely, but he hadn't recovered much of his combat effectiveness.

There's no desire to fight right now.

He went to take a shower, changed into a loose dressing gown, and sat on the sofa in the corner of the bridge of the Dongfeng, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

The threat of the swarm is not high now, and these remnant swarms are just enough to vent their emotions and reap the merits of the Imperial army that defeated the swarm, so there is no need for him to charge again.

"Boss!"

Ritsu's voice came, with a bit of playful and cute girlishness.

Several rays were intertwined, and Xiao Li, who had changed into a sailor suit and a short skirt and tied up a high ponytail, appeared beside Yang Wei, holding a folder, and bowed playfully.

"You've done a great job!"

Yang Wei smiled: "Report the situation." ”

"There is no problem on the home side, although dozens of ships have been lost, but the administrative star has not been lost, and the insect plague suffered over there is not serious, so it will not attract international attention."

The fast voice of the law introduced:

"026 and Mimiri have done a great job.

"Our elite fleet lost more than a hundred ships, within the expected loss figures.

"In addition, we have lost an elite scientist."

Yang Wei frowned and stared at this guy.

Poke where it hurts, right?

"Miss Hera shouldn't be dead," Ritsu said softly, "according to my calculations, as well as the re-reconstruction and analysis of battlefield information, after merging with the Great Queen's thinking, she has become a part of the Great Queen. In other words, she exists in the mental network of high-dimensional life in a very advanced state, but it is difficult to say whether she can maintain her independent personality. ”

"No," Yang Wei sighed, "Hera is dead. ”

"Uh, boss......"

"This is her choice," Yang said, "The most basic freedom of human beings is the right to choose whether they live or not, and Hera also has this freedom." ”

Ritsu whispered: "Boss, Miss Hera's personality is actually a bit screwed in general, don't be too sad." ”

Yang Wei didn't say anything more, and took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Is there a problem with Emilia?"

"No, she's done an equally good job, encouraging people and staying in underground shelters with them, and her approval ratings have skyrocketed."

Yang Wei bowed slightly, with a little thought in his eyes.

"The question now is how do we communicate with Li."

"Boss, Emperor Star has returned to a planetary state, and has jumped back to its original star system at this moment," Ritsu pouted slightly, "I have to admit that they have built up a strong accumulation over tens of thousands of years, and we don't have the ripe conditions to challenge them for the time being." ”

Yang Wei raised his eyebrows: "Then continue to go according to the plan set before." ”

"It's only like this, boss," the lawyer said aggrievedly, "Acceleration is not very accelerating, and if we want to bully people now, we can only change our strategy." ”

"Do you think the mind is aimed at us?" Yang Wei asked seriously.

"According to my analysis, she won't be for the time being, but I can't say for sure in the future."

"Can she hear me?"

"I have taken back control of the Dongfeng, and I have temporarily handed over our natal ship in order to cooperate with her against the insect tide...... Or is it a problem caused by insufficient strength. ”

Yang Wei nodded and continued, "Why won't she be for the time being?" ”

"So far, we haven't been able to figure out what the ideal is going to do and what her own motivations are."

Ritsu raised his hand and pinched his small chin, and said in a low voice:

"There's not much to know for sure right now.

"The first is that Li is bound and is breaking free.

"Second, Levy Sherman is still around in some form, and it's almost inevitable that Emperor will come out in this way.

"Thirdly, Li has a large number of technologies based on the intelligent machine Twilight, but it has inherited knowledge after the second test, and these technologies have been used in the powerful Levy Ship Regiment, which is very strong in combat power, and is close to the peak of the third-level civilization, and is only one step away from the fourth-level civilization.

"Fourth, it is almost certain that the ideal uses us for some purpose."

Yang Wei touched his chin: "I agree with everything else, why can you be sure of the second point?" ”

"Boss, ascension is divided into individual ascension and civilization ascension, from the perspective of the empire's inner circle and outer circle of classification, as well as the exploration direction of the empire's ascension laboratory, the path that the empire wants to take is individual ascension."

Lil pushed the glasses that didn't exist:

"After seeing Emperor Star transform into a mecha, I probably understood what Levy had tried back then.

"He wants to attain eternal life and complete ascension.

"Emperor Xing and this super-large mecha should be the 'permanent body' he created for himself, only in this way can he ensure that he has material support from the current material world after completing the ascension, and gain a certain combat ability in the high-dimensional world.

"Another detail, Li didn't directly operate that mecha."

Yang Wei glared: "The mecha is operated by someone else?" ”

"It may be that Levy's consciousness is pinned on the Emperor Star," Ritsu muttered a few times, "Levi has most likely completed the self-transformation of the cyborg lifeform, he still exists, and he is the biggest constraint on Li, the most powerful shackle." ”

Yang Wei's body sank into the sofa.

He suddenly wanted to light a cigarette for himself, not for the sake of being deep, but simply because he was a little stressed.

Yang Wei's eyes saw the "Biography of the Emperor" on the table.

The founding emperor of the empire, the powerful man who once conquered half of the galaxy, is likely to be his enemy in the future.

This thing is neat......

Lu said quickly: "Boss, your little assistant suggests that you pretend to be injured and recuperate, temporarily avoid the edge, and go back to Saka Star or our own dark star to rest for a while, the current public opinion environment is not too good." ”

"Well, it's good for you to arrange it, it's all in my expectation."

Yang Wei slowly lay down.

"I'm going to have to fight Levi Sherman later...... Tsk, that's exciting. ”
