Chapter 116 Dilemma



Overnight, as several mother ships carrying living personnel evacuated, the usually relaxed atmosphere at the border no longer existed.

The garrison had frequent personnel exchanges, and they were intensively preparing for the possible beast wave attack.

After the satellite observed the migration, Qin Jue quickly gave a time limit.

So many star beasts rushed to their planet together, and they could arrive in 3 days at the fastest and 5 days at the slowest.

According to the habits of star beasts, even if there are high-level star beasts as leaders this time, a wave of raids should break out on the day of arrival to test the defense and combat power of the planet.

After returning to the garrison, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and Shi Xing fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

He was overdrawn too much. He

ate dinner in a daze, and woke up the next day after a full sleep. Chi Yao was no longer by his side.

He slept too long, and Chi Yao was reluctant to wake him up when he left.

He got up, washed, had breakfast, and did the examination.

The medical staff with light workload had been sent back to the empire, and very few stayed, but the medical staff who checked Shi Xing on a daily basis did not leave.

Shi Xing is in a special period now, and Chi Yao will not let them go back.

The report that usually takes more than ten minutes or half an hour to issue took nearly an hour that day.

The test results are good.

Perhaps it is because he absorbed the mental power of the high-level mutant beast, Shi Xing feels very good physically.

The body temperature has not returned to normal and even the last digit has dropped by a few points.

Erya looked at Shi Xing's spiritual sea and concluded the same as the report, "No problem, it's fine."

Shi Xing: "How many star beasts did you bring back yesterday?"

Erya stretched out a hand, five.

"The levels are all okay, right?"

Erya: "Non-mutated and too low-level star beasts were dealt with on the spot."

Shi Xing nodded.

He adjusted his cuffs and turned to ask Yan Changyue, "Where is His Highness?"

Chi Yao replied that he was in a meeting at the Third Army Corps Command.

Shi Xing didn't say anything, but quietly fastened his cufflinks. In a short time, he had made a decision in his heart. He looked up again, "Are Fei Chu, Fu Qing, Ying Geng, and Tan Jue also in the Third Army Corps?"

Yan Changyue nodded.

Shi Xingli said, "Okay, then we'll go over there too. I want to hear what they're discussing."

At this time, what they were discussing was nothing more than battle plans and defense arrangements. When Shi

Xing went over, he had just finished talking about the arrangements for the Third Army in the past few days, and changed the subject to the border support.

It would take five or six days to get from the Empire to the border, plus the time needed to transfer troops to the major armies.

If the star beasts choose to attack from the beginning, they may need to deal with the existing troops on the border.

The news is not all bad.

There are good ones, too.

For the sake of safety in this siege, 80% of the First Army's people were brought out, plus the ones originally in the Third Army and those transferred from the Fourth Army nearby, the scale of the available troops is not small.

Just this batch of star beasts is more than enough to deal with.

Of course, the premise is that if there is only this batch of star beasts.

If there is another batch later, it should be the limit of what the current military can handle. In the future, if there is more, and they will come again... then we must wait for the arrival of the rear support troops before making arrangements. After

listening carefully, I had a rough idea in my mind. I had lunch with Chi Yao in the Third Army.

During this time, Lu Li came to thank Chi Yao once. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but he said in front of Shi Xing that his ignorant brother had returned to the imperial capital, and he was relieved.

Shi Xing felt that Lu Li glanced at him, and when he looked over again, Lu Li had already turned his head away.

Shi Xing felt that these words were said to him.

He had not thought about Lu Lu at all these days.

But considering the other party's behavior of approaching the mother ship, he changed his mind and felt that it would be good to leave.

At least he would not come out to cause trouble again.

The current situation is chaotic. If he meets Lu Lu, it will be difficult to deal with the Lu family behind Lu Lu.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Third Army should be the first army to arrive for support.

If Lu Guangyu led the army to come for support with great effort, and found out as soon as he arrived that Shi Xing had scolded his youngest son, even if he didn't say anything on the surface, the relationship between the two sides would probably be very awkward.

As the partner of His Highness, Shi Xing did not want to stir up internal conflicts in the army at this moment.

So, it's better to leave.

Quiet.

A lot of beast cores were hunted yesterday. After dinner, Xu Jin was in charge of contacting Wen Xi, and they were all given to the mature Blue Star man in the Third Legion.

In the afternoon, Shi Xing participated in the internal meeting of the seven legions.

The marshals of the other six legions were all present, and Chi Yao designated the garrison and support armies.

The Fourth Legion and the Third Legion were the original garrison troops. They were the first to be affected by the changes in the border line, and they needed the first batch of support to arrive.

To Shi Xing's surprise, the Seventh Legion took the initiative to apply for support, and the commander was Tan Chi, who had only returned to the front line in the past six months.

He could not feel it when he was not in contact, but after listening to Marshal Tan, Shi Xing was shocked to realize that it had been a full year since he cured Tan Chi.

The Seventh Army spoke earnestly, and Chi Yao agreed. Shi

Xing was inexplicably moved. The good deeds at the beginning have borne good results.

There is a star beast that can control the beasts. It is unknown to what scale the beast tide will develop. Just in case, the entire empire has been mobilized.

Later, Chi Yao, on behalf of the empire, dialed the communication between the alliance and the planet stationed near the border.

The current situation on the border of the empire was conveyed seriously and realistically.

The previous diplomatic negotiations were difficult, and Shi Xing thought that the alliance would still push each other, but it did not happen.

The attack of the star beasts seemed to have triggered some signal. The Alliance and the neighboring border stationed planets took action immediately and demanded a comprehensive and clear communication with the Empire on the current situation. Chi Yao agreed and arranged for the matter to be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

With the establishment of the border, how many support troops are needed under what circumstances, whether foreign aid is needed, in the long-term process of fighting against the star beasts, a set of unified standards common to the galaxy has long been formed. After

Chi Yao spread the news, the planets in the twin galaxies that were closely related to the border received the information at the first time and made certain responses. After

the meeting, Shi Xing felt magical.

He didn't tell Chi Yao, but the other party saw it from his expression, "Do you think they are incredibly positive?"

Shi Xing was a little embarrassed and nodded, "I thought it would be the same as in diplomacy, I always have to shirk responsibility first."

Especially this time the beast tide was caused by him.

Chi Yao smiled, but was very firm, "No."

"If there is anything in our galaxy that can unite everyone."

"Then there is undoubtedly one and only one answer-"

"Beast Tide."

In the protracted star-beast invasion three hundred years ago, all planets lost too much. Even powerful nations like the Alliance and the Empire have only gradually eased their losses in the past two hundred years.

But for more planets, the damage they suffered is irreparable. There are polluted mining planets that can no longer be developed, and there are also resident planets like the one under their feet, which have gone from being full of vitality to being a barren planet with exhausted resources. Scars are engraved on the surface of the planet, sobbing silently in the universe.

Shi Xing seemed to understand, but Chi Yao did not say much, just touched his head affectionately.

Many things need to be experienced personally.

Talking alone is useless.

When Shi Xing stays at the border longer and sees more, he will naturally understand.

With Chi Yao in charge of the military, Shi Xing does not have to worry about anything, but the empire still needs to operate, and Shi Xing has taken over many internal affairs.

In the communication with Ren Yanyong, after discussing countermeasures, it was rare to see the old president hesitate to speak.

"What's the matter?"

Ren Yanyong hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "The twin galaxies are very sensitive to the beast tide problem. Although it is safest for you to return to the empire now, in terms of your status, staying at the border can establish more prestige."

Shi Xing realized belatedly that Ren Yanyong was putting himself in his shoes.

Shi Xing smiled.

He didn't think it was that complicated. The matter was caused by him, and the prince was at the front line, so he couldn't leave.

But he also appreciated Ren Yanyong's kindness and concern.

Things did not continue to go in a good direction, and even went in the worst direction and never returned.

On the third day, Qin Jue's team detected that a group of high-level star beasts outside the galaxy were heading towards the main star.

After a rough estimate, the number was shocking.

The number of the first batch that could be detected was almost the same as the batch of star beasts that were about to arrive.

The terrifying thing is that because the level is too high, it is estimated that there may be star beasts with strong space talents among them, so the arrival date of this batch of star beasts is uncertain.

On the fourth day, all the mutant star beasts arrived and carried out a raid as predicted.

The star beasts' offensive had a very bad sign, and they focused on setting up defense barriers.

The lower-level star beasts even risked their lives, rushing one after another to a place, ramming their bodies, and would rather endure a strong energy impact than break the border defense.

The use of unmanned battleships to lure the star beasts failed.

In the end, the team had to send out a team to kill them.

The outermost defense barrier that envelops the galaxy cannot be broken. If the star beasts are organized and premeditated, then the most direct consequence of the barrier breaking is that they will be surrounded by the star beasts and all support to this place will be cut off.

There are countless high-level star beasts coming from afar. Once they are besieged, the result waiting for them can be imagined.

After the first day of fighting, cracks appeared in the area where the star beasts specialized in the defense barrier.

They almost rammed the same place without caring about their lives.

Sometimes the energy cannons hit the star beasts, but the star beasts seemed not to feel it, and were willing to use death in exchange for an impact on the barrier.

The next day, they changed their methods. After discussion, the broken part of the barrier was opened, and all the attacking star beasts were put into the main star.

Shi Xing is about to pass the maturity period. Since absorbing the energy of the mutant star beasts, his ability has been growing every day, which makes Er Ya surprised and Chi Yao worried.

But as long as the degree of his mental power dissipation does not increase, the growth is a good thing for the current situation.

In this battle, Shi Xing has basically mastered the use of mental power to kill star beasts.

The highest-level mutant star beasts were all dealt with by Shi Xing and Chi Yao.

The remaining low-level ones can be dealt with by anyone, and they were also dealt with in turn.

After two days of dealing with the star beasts in this way, Qin Jue reported on the next day that the high-level mutant star beasts from afar would meet up with the star beasts in front of them in the afternoon.

The support corps only reached the three closest to the Fourth Corps and the Third Corps.

The speed of support lagged behind the speed of the star beasts' arrival.

As if knowing that the main force was in the rear, on this day, the star beasts no longer sent a group to attack, but all the star beasts gathered and pressed outside the defense barrier -

attacking the defense barrier.

This news was suffocating.

After several days of fighting, the figure of the escaped white star beast was also discovered for the first time in the drone's detection. It was located behind all the star beasts. There was no doubt that it was the commander of all the star beasts at present.

Chi Yao: "When will the nearest support arrive?"

Tan Jue: "Three teams from the Third Army, five teams from the Seventh Army, and the remaining two teams from the Fourth Army will arrive tomorrow morning."

Half a day late.

Shi Xing: "How long can the barrier last?"

Tan Jue: "If we don't do anything, we probably won't be able to hold out when another wave of beasts arrives in the afternoon."

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Shi Xing dragged the satellite's external screen of the defense barrier, checked it repeatedly, and found a clue, "Only when the white star beasts roar, the energy will be transmitted, and the star beasts' attacks will change."

After a pause, Shi Xing said, "If there is no white star beast, all the star beasts are now scattered."

"If we can solve all the star beasts in the periphery within half a day."

"When another wave of beasts arrives in the afternoon, even if the defense barrier is broken, we have so many troops on our main planet, and they can't spare more star beasts to go around and intercept them."

Realizing something, Chi Yao said, "What do you mean?" Shi

Xing stood up and stood straight, "Since they are coming for me, only they know my information now, and we know that they can communicate, so we can't let another wave of beasts meet this white star beast." The

white star beasts stayed around for too long, and they knew Shi Xing too well, which was not a good thing.

After a moment of silence, Shi Xing said calmly but strongly.

"We let it run away last time."

"Your Highness, come with me today to kill it."

As long as the white star beasts are attacked, the pressure of the defense barrier will be reduced.

Chi Yao did not say anything, but looked directly at Shi Xing, with complex emotions surging in his smoky gray eyes.

Fei Chu: "Isn't it too risky?"

Shi Xing was clear-headed, "If we can't hold on to the first wave, our military forces will be dispersed and dismantled. Once they gain an advantage, they will grow like a snowball."

Similarly, the same goes for them. If the advantage is theirs, the combat advantage can be accumulated later.

"Besides, with the arrival of a group of star beasts, can everyone be sure that there will not be a second or third group?"

The question was suffocating.

There is one thing that Shi Xing didn't say...

"They are coming for you. As long as you show up, they can divert the focus of the star beasts' attack."

Chi Yao said it for him.

Shi Xing smiled, "Your Highness is right."

To a certain extent, it can also reduce the pressure of this suicidal attack on the defense barrier.

But Chi Yao couldn't laugh.

The whole room was silent.

Chi Yao was sure that what Shi Xing could think of, he could also think of, and even think deeper and farther than him.

Deep down, Shi Xing was not worried about His Highness's choice.

After a moment, Chi Yao closed his eyes slightly and stopped looking at Shi Xing.

When he opened his eyes again, he really gave an order, "Do as Shi Xing said, prepare the composite battleship, he and I will be together."
