"I see." Yu Wei pondered for a moment and wrote a line in his notebook, "I'll send you some thicker cushions over; they'll be more comfortable to use."

"No need for that trouble, we plan to leave here in a couple of days."

After thinking about it, Zhou Siyu decided to tell him about her experiences during this period. It was nothing, she just wanted to hear Yu Wei's voice.

Yu Wei listened patiently to his story, occasionally jotting down notes in her notebook, then looked up and gazed tenderly at Zhou Si.

"Sigh." Zhou Siyu sighed, "I thought this place would be fun and interesting, but there's nothing here at all."

He wanted to have a great fight with several huge and ugly monsters, but now it seems that his equipment is useless except for filtering the air.

"Too much has been destroyed there."

Yu Wei racked his brains for words of comfort when there was a gentle knock on the door.

Zhou Siyu watched the figure in front of the screen get up and leave, but returned a moment later. His tired face was full of sighs and urgency. He waved at the screen and said, "Unexpected situation, I have to go. Be careful and take care of yourself."

"Yes, you too."

"Again……"

"Let's not see each other again." Zhou Siyu interrupted Yu Wei, thought for a moment, and quickly said, "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he quickly cut off the communication.

He disliked the word "goodbye," because saying goodbye meant never seeing each other again.

Looking at the black screen, Yu Wei sighed slightly, but there was nothing he could do.

Putting away his communicator, regaining his usual composure and calmness, Yu Wei opened the door, took the things handed to him by the person who came over, and started an online meeting while walking.

"News has just come in that the Fifth Legion is trapped in Qingjiang on the 25th planet. The Second Legion is making good progress and has captured Changmin City on the 15th planet, but it is too far from the 25th planet to reach it in time."

"The Third Regiment will continue to attack Yuchong City on Planet Nineteen, the Second Regiment will continue to advance along the original route, and the Fourth Regiment will withdraw to the base on Planet Twenty-Three to await orders."

"Contact the commander of the Fifth Army Corps and order them to hold out for another seven days, no matter what."

"Chairman, it may be difficult to hold out for another seven days."

Qingjiang is a fortress connecting multiple planets, but it is extremely scarce in resources, has no energy and does not produce food, and relies mainly on the transportation industry.

Once the rebels take control, it means they can attack other planets in a shorter time.

"Seven days is not the limit for the Fifth Legion, it is our limit."

"The First Legion is the central force of the alliance; it would be unwise for it to venture into dangerous territory."

Despite their seemingly united alliance, they were actually quite disorganized. Back then, Yu Zhen established military bases in various star sectors and important planets. Apart from a portion of the personnel he sent, the rest were recruited by the respective military bases themselves.

While this approach could alleviate the shortage of manpower, it also weakened the alliance's control over local areas, creating a number of local forces that held considerable power and influence, with Lin Gu being the most typical example.

"The central government's power cannot be a mere decorative ornament; we must first rescue the people and hold the line in the local areas."

"Pass the order: proceed at full speed to Planet Twenty-Five."

"I will command the Tianhe Fleet to lead the charge, while the second and third squadrons will be responsible for supplying materials and providing support."

Qingjiang's geographical location is too important; it cannot be lost. It is a transportation hub with convenient access in all directions, and it cannot afford to lose it.

At the same time, he was certain that the major local legions would not dare to disobey his orders. He held not only a well-equipped central force, but more importantly, a large amount of supplies in his hands.

Yu Zhen's choice of the base was not without basis. The base was located in a place where either nothing grows or there are minerals but no food. It could only survive by relying on the headquarters to distribute supplies every year.

The rebels relied on plundering from various places to consume their own supplies, and they simply did not have the capacity to support an entire legion. Therefore, they always dealt with prisoners on the spot, and there was no such thing as treating prisoners well.

Therefore, the Fifth Army must hold Qingjiang to have any chance of survival.
