At the same time, in a base of an underground organization on the Imperial Star, the leader of the organization, a young male OMEGA, was listening to his subordinates report on everything that happened in the Gemini Fortress.
During the entire report, he did not make a sound and showed no emotion. It was not until he learned that the OMEGA he sent to seduce Auston had failed that he sighed: "I never thought that I had used a special method to increase the pheromone matching between him and Auston to an absolute match, and also managed to cause Auston to lose his memory... With such a good opportunity, he couldn't successfully complete the task and seduce Auston to replace Ruan Tang..."
"I really don't know whether to say that he is really stupid, or to praise the strong bond between our Duke Bluebeard and Chairman Ruan." Although the plan of the slim male OMEGA failed, as a superior, he did not show any panic, and he remained calm from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, his subordinates immediately echoed respectfully: "Who said it wasn't true? Your Highness... I just don't know what we should do next now that Mason has failed?"
Mason was the name of the OMEGA they sent out to forge pheromones that matched Austin's pheromones 100%.
"What else can we do? We should wait and see. Although Mason failed to seduce Austin, hasn't the mental power of our Duke Bluebeard broken through 3s?" The young OMEGA said in a cold voice: "The Zerg has been eyeing us covetously. Although I hate Austin and Ruan Tang, the threat posed by the Zerg is equally disgusting. The entire empire has not seen an ALPHA with such high mental power for hundreds of years. If Austin can kill the Zerg King and wipe out the Zerg... wouldn't that solve the future hidden dangers for us in advance?"
Since the first plan failed, he could come up with the second and third plans based on the situation.
It doesn't matter if Austin and Ruan Tang are the protagonists of the world and have halos on their bodies. He now has the help of the system. No matter how capable Ruan Tang and Austin are, they are destined to be his only servants.
The subordinate frowned slightly, a little worried: "But Your Highness, if Duke Austin really kills the Zerg Emperor and wipes out the Zerg, it is tantamount to making a huge contribution. With the support of the Legion, it is easy for the Emperor to grant him military power, but it may not be so easy to take it back... By then, the situation of the entire Imperial Star will change..."
"This may not be beneficial to us." The subordinate was worried: "Especially, Ruan Yang, the commander of the White Tiger Army, is Ruan Tang's elder brother and loves this younger brother very much."
The young OMEGA, who seemed to be wearing a mask with almost no emotion, showed some strange emotions in his eyes when he heard the word Ruan Yang, but he quickly suppressed it and said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, if Austin really made such a great contribution, he will not have a chance to come back... Not only will I not let him come back, even our benevolent and wise emperor will not want to see him come back."
"I sincerely pray that our Prince Austin can wipe out the Zerg. By then, the Emperor and Empress will surely fall out and start a bloody storm on the Imperial Star." The young OMEGA said calmly, "Then it will be the best time for us to execute our plan and take action."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate swallowed his saliva and dared not to question any more. He only lowered his head and replied, "...Yes, Your Highness."
…
Ruan Tang and Austin had no way of knowing all this, because at the same time, the Zerg, which had been detected to be about to move and break the seal, suddenly revived all at once and began to attack the human planet frantically and indiscriminately at night.
Austin was the first one in the army to discover the Zerg's anomaly based on the cosmic star map. He raised his hand and ordered: "All the Glory Army in the Gemini Fortress, assemble and stand by!"
In less than three minutes, all the warships of the Gemini Fortress had assembled according to their battle plan.
Facing the ferocious and indestructible Zerg, the warships of the Legion of Glory followed Austin closely, defending the Gemini Fortress and all the people in the Gemini like an iron wall.
"Vanguard troops, prepare to move!" Austin's military order was as heavy as a mountain.
A large number of warships of the Legion of Glory immediately swarmed forward in an orderly manner. Without any warning, the vanguard army crashed into the Zerg pile that caused people to suffer from area phobia and launched a charge.
The huge Zergs, each as big as a small warship, seemed to be enraged and waved their bodies to face the artillery fire of the Legion of Light.
Use your own body to fight against countless warships.
In an instant, smoke filled the air.
The flames emitted by the light energy cannon illuminated the entire universe.
The entire universe immediately showed a tearing distortion.
The tiny humans had no fear of life or death, and blasted whirlpools of varying sizes in the sea of insects. Puffs of green smoke immediately rose from the charred shells of the Zerg.
Austin had been preparing for this for a long time and had anticipated this. He had a general idea of the habits and fears of these Zerg, and everything was going according to the battle plan he had formulated.
Under his leadership, the soldiers of the Legion of Glory charged towards the location of the Zerg nest star with almost no casualties.
Although the Zerg continued to come in large numbers, thanks to the energy provided by Ruan Tang and the strength of Auston and the Glorious Legion, they were killing large waves of Zerg all day long, forcing those Zerg that were ready to go from the Gemini Fortress back to the depths of the Zerg nest that sealed off the Zerg planet...
Austin used his own strength to prove to everyone that killing the Insect King was only a matter of time.
Austin's battle lasted for more than half a month.
As an OMEGA, Ruan Tang could not board the warship and could only stay in the fortress, confirming and defending the fortress's space station again and again in panic. He pushed himself to the extreme to ensure the first-time firepower and resource supply to the front line with the Military Industry Department, and together with the engineers from the Military Industry Department, they maximized the utilization rate of limited resources, and transformed and repaired the mechas that were constantly returning from the front line due to serious damage as quickly as possible, so that they could return to the front line in time to fight the Zerg.
His professional level once again won praise and commendation from the Military Industry Department. The head of the Military Industry Department, Zhang William, even lamented that if Ruan Tang was not the Duchess, he would simply want to exchange his identity as the head of the Military Industry Department to allow such an outstanding talent as Ruan Tang to stay in the Fortress Military Industry Department and lead the engineers to shine and contribute to the empire.
Ruan Tang just smiled at this.
It was fine when he was busy, but whenever he had a little free time, he couldn't control his worry and concern for Auston. As long as Austin didn't return safely, he would never be able to put his heart back in his stomach.
"... Don't worry, ma'am. I've been at the border for so many years, but I've never seen an ALPHA as powerful and mentally strong as the legion commander. Plus, with your careful support for the logistics, I believe we will be able to win this battle, and the legion commander will lead the legion back safely." Seeing the sadness in Ruan Tang's eyes, an orderly stationed at the fortress immediately spoke to comfort her.
Before Ruan Tang suddenly came to the fortress, many of them were worried that the Duchess was here to cause trouble. Not all of them knew about Austin's condition, so many people felt that Austin was too emotional and actually agreed to let their Omega come and stick to him and become a burden.
After Ruan Tang came, he drew a lot of blueprints and came up with a lot of ways to quickly improve and repair the mechas, as well as help the mechas quickly obtain energy and save energy.
Everyone unanimously lamented how lucky Auston was to have such an OMEGA who was excellent in everything and could assist him in every aspect.
Because of Ruan Tang and the others, their views on the nobles of the Imperial Star, OMEGA, who had prejudiced against them in the past, also changed.
Ruan Tang immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll borrow your good words."
Just at this time, another batch of damaged mechas were sent back to the fortress. Ruan Tang and his team immediately rushed forward to repair the mechas, replenished the energy for the mechas that had run out of energy in time, and started a new round of work.
At this time, the soldiers on the front line gradually relaxed because there were fewer and fewer Zergs around them and the war was nearing its end.
Just as they were gradually approaching the heart of the Insect King, which had not yet fully revived, suddenly, the alarms on their various warships and command ships sounded shrilly in the middle of the night.
“Ding ding ding—”
"It's bad, it's bad, Commander. So many... so many Zergs. So many dead Zergs have been resurrected..." The voice of the captain of the reconnaissance ship came from the communication channel. Looking at the horrifying scene appearing on the monitor, the captain of the reconnaissance ship almost screamed in the communication channel.
Because of their consciousness as warriors, even though they have gradually relaxed recently, their spirits are always highly tense and alert. That's why he was able to wake up as soon as the Zerg resurrected.
If it were an ordinary citizen, he would have been attacked by the Zerg and died in his sleep... He wouldn't even know how he died...
Upon hearing this, the soldiers entered combat mode again, driving their mechas and firing wildly at the Zerg.
"Attack, attack is ineffective..."
"Commander, what do you say we should do? Our previous methods seem to be unable to kill the Zerg now. These resurrected Zerg seem to have evolved. We are surrounded by Zerg!" The voices of captains of other ships were heard one after another on the communication channel.
"Oh no, oh no, these evolved Zerg seem to be carrying viruses that can bewitch people's mental power and spread through mental power. The medicines we brought with us can no longer resist them..."
"Commander, many of our soldiers have been infected by the Zerg virus and have started killing each other..."
Screams came one after another in the communication channel of the warship command ship. In the middle of the night, the Guangyao army was in chaos because of the sudden situation.
"It's over, it's over, we are surrounded and can't go back..."
Austin listened to the noisy voices and knew that these people's emotions might have been infected by the Zerg. He immediately shouted in the communication channel: "Quiet!"
Because of the power he had accumulated over the years, the originally noisy communication channel suddenly became silent, and even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Everyone was waiting for his orders.
"The Zerg have gone crazy, which is a good thing. It means that we are close to the Zerg King and close to his heart, so the Zerg King has triggered his self-protection mechanism to deal with us. This is a good thing... It can help us to really determine his location..." Austin's words were sonorous and resounding.
He and the higher-ups of the Legion had discussed and estimated the current situation with scientists who had studied the Zerg for many years.
There are so many different types of Zerg on this Zerg-occupied planet, and the Zerg King is mixed in among them, so it is difficult to tell which one is it...
The Zerg's madness now made Austin certain that he had not come to the wrong place.
His voice seemed to have a kind of magic that made people unconsciously believe in him and worship him.
The captains who were originally panicking gradually calmed down: "Then...then what should we do now?"
"Listen, the rest of the sober people. Do your best to comfort those who have been hallucinated. As long as we kill the Insect King, the influence of its mental control will naturally be resolved, and the remaining Zerg will naturally collapse..." Austin knew very well that without the Zerg King, these so-called Zerg would turn back into insects without intelligence.
"Then who should find the Insect King and kill him?" someone asked in the communication.
Before Austin could reply, Garnier volunteered: "Your Highness, in the entire legion, except for you, I have the highest spiritual power. Please allow me to go out as a pioneer to carry out the mission of finding and killing the Insect King."
Austin calmly analyzed the situation and immediately issued a military order to the entire army through the commander's dedicated channel: "The third, fourth, fifth and sixth divisions are ordered by the sober supreme commander to launch attacks and break out from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northeast."
"Garnier, lead the Eighth Division to the southwest, which is also the expected Zerg heart location, to face the enemy head-on. Langdon and Rand, lead all the medical robots on the ship to try to solve the problem of soldiers infected by the Zerg. If they can't be solved, they must be stopped in time and locked up in the ship's confinement room!"
"Yes, Commander!" As soon as he gave the order, all the officers in the legion who had clearly received the order responded in unison.
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Austin immediately summoned the exclusive mecha of the commander of the Glorious Legion - the Glorious Morning Star.
Garnier, who was right next to Auston, was startled and immediately understood what Auston was going to do. He immediately asked, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
"...Of course, we have to find the Insect King and kill him." Austin said in a deep voice, emphasizing each word.
Garnier immediately dissuaded him, "No, Your Highness, this is too dangerous... You don't have to go in person, let me go..."
It is much safer to stay in the warship than to drive a mecha into the heart of the Zerg alone, and to be on guard against compatriots behind who may be infected and hallucinated by the Zerg.
Austin is not only the head of the legion but also the leader of their group and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.
"Only I have the strongest spiritual power in the empire, and only I can possibly find the Insect King and kill him!" Austin interrupted him directly and said without any resistance: "Glorious Morning Star, let's go!"
The moment he finished speaking, he immediately drove the mecha representing his identity as the commander of the royal legion out of the hatch and soared into the sky.
The huge mecha body immediately stretched out on the planet full of Zerg and flew towards the black mass of Zerg at the speed of light.
