"What's going on?" After going through so much trouble to log onto the Interstellar Network, Yu Sheng tried dozens of times but still couldn't contact Guluo, Baijia, or anyone else. He thought that this virtual warehouse couldn't access the Interstellar Network either, but other functions such as the fighting arena and shopping mall were all normal, and he could also log into major forums. The only explanation was that something had happened to Wenxing.

Yu Sheng was extremely anxious. After failing to contact them, he could only look for relevant news. However, he didn't even have to bother looking for it, as the search results popped up.

[A major boost in Zerg technology? Wenxing lost contact for two days, even its most advanced technicians are unable to reconnect]

[Attacked from all sides, Wenxing's country is foreseen to be destroyed]

[Remnants of the frontline troops have lost contact, and Queen Qiu En's life and death are uncertain]

The countless pieces of information made Yu Sheng's heart tremble with fear, his eyes reddening, and he wanted to rush back to Wenxing immediately. Seeing everyone's various speculations about the reason for the sudden appearance of the Zerg army on Gamma Resource Star, Yu Sheng clenched his fists. He could tell with his toes that this must be a conspiracy by Queen Qiu En and the Zerg!

They actually wanted to start with Wenxing? Perhaps they heard that Wenxing was ownerless and the two factions were split, and they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to seize this rich planet.

Yu Sheng went offline and walked out of the virtual warehouse. The special forces team came forward and reported on the battle situation. "The First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Legions have successfully occupied the ports on the east and west sides of the central city. The Second and Eighth Legions have hidden in the Bedma Palace. The Sixth and Seventh Legions are stationed outside the city, ready to respond to internal and external attacks at any time."

Yu Sheng nodded. Just as he was about to ask about the special mission team led by Frey, he heard footsteps outside the door. Frey, still covered in dust, walked quickly towards Yu Sheng and asked, "Have you contacted them?"

He could hear the anxiety hidden in Frey's calm tone, but Yu Sheng was destined to disappoint him, "Wen Xing has lost contact." After that, he described all the situations in detail. As Yu Sheng described, Frey's eyes became colder and colder.

"We must speed up the capture of the central city, seize all the warships and weapons, and support Wenxing!" Frey's tone was sharp. "Notify the entire army and prepare for battle!"

——Wenxing, the Royal Palace——

"You can't go," Gary tried to dissuade Haydn. "The current situation is urgent. The prince's forces might take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble again. You can stay here and keep an eye on Luther and Ampe."

Haydn stood up with a bang, his eyes red. "Don't lie to me! Even the half-grown boy Yu Guang is going to the front line. What's the point of leaving me here to keep an eye on the prince's forces? I'm telling you, I'm going to take charge of this front line!"

Gary was completely bewildered. How could Haydn, usually so easy to fool, become so shrewd at the critical moment? He talked until his mouth was dry, but Haydn showed no sign of giving up. No matter how many reasons he offered, he was determined to join the Crown Prince's entourage and go to the front.

In reality, Haydn's potential to help was minimal. After all, the enemy numbered in the billions, and how many more bugs could he kill? Therefore, Gary had a selfish motive. He didn't want Haydn to be in danger on the battlefield, and only wanted Haydn to stay in the safest royal city on Wenxing.

At this point, Gary also became impatient. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Seeing Haydn still circling around, constantly yelling things like "I have to go to the front line", he suddenly pushed Haydn onto the bed and said, "Are you itching for trouble? Haydn, do you believe I'm really going to do you today?"

The two of them never took the final step. Gary knew that although Hayden was heartless, he was actually a little crybaby, so he couldn't bully him too much, so he kept it to himself. But Hayden didn't realize it. After they established their relationship, he would often ask Gary to help each other, which made Gary angry. He would also ask Gary foolishly, "Why do you have acne? Is it because you don't eat vegetables and drink water?"

Gary was breathing heavily, his expression somewhat ferocious. Haydn was frightened by him and cowered for a moment. But after realizing what Gary said, he became furious. "Get out of here! What the hell is it to you if I want to do something? Why can you go to the front lines to fight, but I can't? I'm an interstellar person too! I want to kill Zerg too! I want to defend my country too!"

The last words were almost shouted out, Haydn's voice was broken, the ending tone was hoarse and there was a cry in it. Gary's heart was shocked, and he lowered his head. Sure enough, the little black boy's face was covered with tears.

"I don't want to hide behind anymore!" Haydn stared at Gary stubbornly with tears in his eyes, muttering softly, "I want to protect the people I care about. I don't want to lose friends anymore..."

Gary's heart ached. He gradually loosened his hand that was pressing on Haydn, and instead placed it on Haydn's cheek, gently wiping Haydn's tears.

"I'm sorry." Gary gently held Haydn's lips, salty tears blooming on the tip of his tongue. Gary closed his eyes and swallowed the bitterness and sadness.

Haydn was never heartless. He just locked his fear and anxiety in a small box and locked it so that it would not be opened easily. But once it was opened, it could never be closed again.

"I'm too selfish." Gary opened his eyes and looked at Haydn, whose face was red from crying and he couldn't breathe. He reached out and held Haydn's face, "I won't stop you."

A wry smile played on his lips, and Gary shook his head sarcastically. Why were the people he cared about so stubborn? If his mother had compromised back then, she wouldn't have ended up being killed by her biological father, right?

"You, you agreed?" Gary suddenly agreed. Haydn hadn't reacted yet and was still sobbing. He stared blankly at Gary through his blurred tears. He vaguely felt that Gary was heavy and sad at this moment. "Don't be sad, I went to the front because I wanted to fight alongside you!"

Haydn's clumsy comfort brought Gary back to his senses. Gary forced himself to dispel the haze in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and pinched Haydn's chin. "I've already compromised. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"

"What compensation?" Haydn had obviously forgotten what Gary said about wanting him. "I'll cook you a meal tomorrow morning?"

"The food you cook is totally inedible." Gary bluntly pointed out the truth, his hand already sliding down Haydn's waist and into Haydn's clothes, "I'd better do it myself and feed myself..."

On this day, the entire interstellar world was in a state of panic. While Wenxing, surrounded by the Zerg, hadn't yet found its way to the planet, Xuexing, which had long been under the control of the interstellar people, was experiencing another crisis. The interstellar people could never have imagined that they would receive a distress signal from Xuexing, saying that the Orcs had built an army and had already invaded the central city!

Orcs? Those orcs who only know how to hunt in a primitive way, have extremely low technology, and have no other use except as pets? Are you kidding me?

However, dealing with the Zerg is the top priority now. What's more, the Interstellar Order and most of the Interstellar Alliance are in the hands of the missing Queen Qiuen. The United Interstellar is in a mess and has no manpower or energy to support a small snow planet. It only sent a resource ship to airdrop some weapons and equipment to the location mentioned by Ivan Bedma, and let Ivan wipe out the rebellious orcs on his own.

"Warriors! Snow Star is our home! This land has nurtured tens of thousands of Snow Star people, yet now it has been occupied by this group of shameless invaders. They have not only destroyed our homes, but also captured our loved ones and treated them like animals. As the guardians of Snow Star, we will never allow these invaders to continue their rampage!"

"Kill the invaders and honor our land!"

Spear stood on a high rockery, her green eyes flashing with a fierce light in the dark night. Her voice was passionate, and every word was heart-wrenching, stirring up the blood and anger of everyone. Every soldier straightened his body and roared in response to her words.

"Kill the invaders! Kill the invaders!"

"Take back our home!"

Loud slogans pierced the darkness and ignited the flames of war. The body that had been enslaved for a hundred years finally began to resist, roaring and struggling to break free from the chains that bound it.

"Damn, a bunch of beasts! They've really gotten stronger." Ivan's officers stood in the back, holding state-of-the-art reconnaissance scopes. With the high-end weapons and equipment provided by the United Interstellar, he was confident that crushing these orcs would be as easy as crushing ants. "Just charge! Show these beasts who's the boss!"

Ivan's military did not use heavy weapons. After all, this was the central city. It would be a pity to destroy buildings or rare items. Moreover, every soldier was well-equipped. Even if they did not use heavy weapons, could they not defeat a group of pets?

Soon, Ivan's army paid the price for their underestimation of the enemy.

Because the orcs have the genes of beasts in their bones, and they have been treated as animals for many years, hatred has made them disregard their lives. Every orc has bloodshot eyes and wishes to eat his flesh raw. They far surpass Ivan's army in terms of absolute strength and speed.

Ivan's army underestimated the enemy and soon showed signs of weakness. Fortunately, they used advanced weapons to defend and retreat, and finally escaped back to the defense line in disgrace.

"Retreat!" Spear gave the order, and the orcs, who were blinded by killing intent, did not pursue the victory, but retreated quickly to the vicinity of Bedma Palace like flowing water.

When Ivan heard the report from the front, his face became gloomy and he looked at the officer as if he were a dead man.

The officer's legs were trembling, and he could hardly withstand such pressure. In fact, he was appointed as the highest general by Ivan, and he did have real ability. However, in Snow Star for so many years, he was just guarding the central city and patrolling the surrounding areas, and he could also enjoy high-level treatment, which was no different from retirement. The officer who had no sense of crisis had long lost all his real ability.

It was not his turn to resist the Zerg. The Orcs were a bunch of beasts and he didn't care at all. Over time, this officer and his army became useless. He never expected that one day they would be forced to this point by a group of "beasts".

With a bang, Ivan killed the officer with ease. He pinched his brow in pain. A dignified and beautiful woman beside him came forward to support him and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Father, if you kill him, who will lead the army?" This woman was Ivan's second daughter, Jiuai Bedma.

Ivan shook off Jiuai's hand and said, "Go away and don't bother me."

Jiu Ai obediently stepped aside, lowered her head, and the expression on her face was gloomy and unclear.

"Send another distress signal to the United Interstellar! If there's no reply, keep sending!"

——Bedma Palace——

Yu Sheng, Frey, Spear, and the captains of the Second and Eighth Legions gathered in the hall, all of them exuding a sense of hostility. The Second Captain, a man of high temper, was the first to stand up and say, "Why don't you let me lead the attack? I'm going to kill these interstellar people!"

Spear glared at him, "Sit down!" Then he looked at Yu Sheng and Frey, "You two should have a plan, right?"

"Although they may not be very good at fighting, their weapons and equipment are indeed more than a level higher than ours," Yu Sheng said. "A rash attack would only lead to unnecessary sacrifices. Second Regiment Commander, you don't want too many of your compatriots to be killed or injured, do you?"

The fruits of victory are not easily reaped. Although the Orc Legion took the initiative with a sneak attack in tonight's battle and suppressed the interstellar people, the death statistics just came out. The Second and Eighth Regiments lost a total of one-eighth of their people. This is a very scary number, not to mention those who were seriously injured and lost their combat ability.

"If you want to take the central city, you must follow my plan!" Yu Sheng swept his eyes over everyone, his momentum full, "I will not tolerate anyone disobeying orders and attacking recklessly!"

Half a day later, Ivan's army suddenly stopped fighting in close combat and hid in the city, cursing and attacking with long-range artillery. They were well-armed and the orcs could not escape no matter how agile they were. For a while, they were helpless and the two sides were in a stalemate.

"So that's your plan." After a few probing attempts, Yu Sheng sneered, "You know our army is low on ammunition, so you want to stall for time and wear us down bit by bit?" He narrowed his eyes, "Let's see if it's us or you who can't afford to stall."

Three days later, Ivan, who was originally proud of his legion's upper hand, became furious.

"Mr. Ivan, many of the soldiers are exhausted. If this continues, we will be finished before they even break into the city!"

Ivan's eyes were practically spitting fire. "If you can't even think of basic repairs, what use do I have for a bunch of you losers? Has the United Interstellar responded?"

"No." The general was almost crying, "There has been no reply."

The supplementation of rhenium is integrated into every meal in their lives. Almost no one deliberately thinks about supplementing rhenium. Almost all animals and plants on planets in the interstellar space naturally contain rhenium. Even rhenium deficiency has disappeared for thousands of years. It is understandable that no one of them is aware of this problem.

In recent days, the central city has been short of food and the port has been occupied by the Orc Legion. Naturally, they can only use local materials and send special teams to hunt outside the city every day. At first, they just thought that there was enough food and it didn't matter. By the time they discovered the problem, it was too late.

He asked why the first thing these orcs did was to occupy the port. It turned out that they had planned this for a long time!

Ivan's hands and feet were shaking, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. These beasts were so cunning. Could the central city really survive this crisis?

There was a trace of despair in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He ran to the password box, unlocked it with a complicated gesture code, and took out a red button from it.

His thumb trembled, and finally he didn't dare to press it. He gritted his teeth, put the red button back into the password box, carefully closed the password box, and collapsed on the bed as if exhausted.

Ivan didn't notice that behind the door, Jiuai, who was wearing a long skirt, was staring at him with hateful eyes. It was not until he walked into the bedroom that she withdrew her gaze and fell on the safe, her eyes flashing slightly.
