Chapter 192: Bloodstone
While the entire Interstellar Alliance was watching the war in the North River, the Zerg Allied forces retreated to the outer defensive line, leaving only the Zerg to hold out.
Other star systems don't know what terms the Northern River system negotiated with the Zerg, but later even the Zerg gradually withdrew.
Although they did not retreat to the outer defensive line like other Allied forces, they did retreat to the outer perimeter of Canghai Star.
In the eyes of other star systems, this was almost a sure-win battle for the Zerg.
The Northern Star System is indeed powerful, especially three hundred years ago, when other star systems were severely weakened, the Northern Star System was able to become one of the few winners in that war.
While waging war against the Zerg, the Northern River system also formed alliances with several other star systems.
Before the Zerg join the Allied forces, it's hard to say which side will win.
But now the Zerg have allied with star systems like Styx and Skycloud, so North River is doomed to lose.
But Beihe was able to force the Zerg allies to retreat, leading to various speculations in other star systems. However, anyone familiar with the Zerg and Tianyun could guess the reason behind it.
For the Zerg, the only threat they could face was the Overlord. The baby Overlords had already returned to the Zerg, and the Zerg army did not immediately withdraw from the front lines. Instead, they retreated little by little, somewhat reluctantly, showing signs of having no other choice.
But the other allied forces retreated decisively, leaving only the Holy Spirit and the Holy Tree of Tianyun as threats to them.
There were rumors before that Beihe stole Tianyun's Holy Spirit and the Holy Tree Seed, and now it seems that this is true.
Other galaxies commented that the Northern River Galaxy was bold and ruthless enough to completely offend the Zerg and the Sky Clouds.
Once the Holy Spirit and the Little King Worm are involved, they become mortal enemies with no room for maneuver. Even if the Zerg allies retreat now, they will continue to attack.
Unless Beihe has the ability to wipe out the Zerg and several major star systems like Tianyun, they will wipe out Beihe.
Other star systems also took this opportunity to quickly harvest the enemy's resources. Once the Zerg allies finished off the North River system, they would participate in the interstellar war.
The outer perimeter of the star Canghai.
In space, Zerg warships were everywhere, densely covering Anno's line of sight.
Meanwhile, Sevier was on another warship formation. She had just converted the last wave of corrupted beings and formed a large army of the new Zerg branch that had adapted to the consciousness network, according to their ability levels.
Let them reap what they sow.
The majority of the Zerg army on the front lines now consists of the new branch's followers.
These relatives, filled with hatred, will advance towards the North River.
Today marks the seventh day since they withdrew from the front lines, and Sevier is still waiting.
The Skycloud Alliance has once again proposed to Dennis the return of the Holy Spirit. In return, they will withdraw their troops and dissolve their alliance with the Zerg.
They knew, of course, that the Northern River would not return the Holy Spirit and Tantinolkin; it was just that Sevier and the others needed to give Caesar Hibia some time.
And Karina.
Sevier found the child rather amusing.
She's quite capable, no less so than Anunu's other members of the family. And she's so young, she has a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Sevier and Anno chatted for a while in the consciousness network, while the highest authority of Cangmiao and Tianyun connected via video communication.
Cangmiao: "Dennis wants to negotiate terms, and he wants us all to be there, including you and Anunu."
Sevier sneered, "You're really giving him too much credit. Let's get started."
Cangmiao: "Wait for our signal."
As soon as the communication ended, Sevier transmitted the order to prepare for battle throughout the consciousness network, and every Zerg familiar on the front line revealed its original form, ready for battle.
Anno also summoned the former sparks, now the fireflies, that had been hiding beneath the surface of Canghai Star.
Previously, Seville had ordered these fireflies to temporarily hide in the Northern River system and sent some high-ranking servants to protect them through Caesar's portal.
They hid on the planet Canghai. The fireflies gathered together to form a powerful magnetic field, and countless golden sand jellyfish underground provided them with energy. This magnetic field allowed them to use their abilities without being detected.
That's how they weakened the Northern River army.
The powerful Northern River Superpower Legion was suppressed by the Fireflies, dropping from S-rank to B-rank or even C-rank, and still at such a great distance.
Canghai Star is currently occupied by rebel forces and other gangs. Seville has assigned another Zerg legion to deal with them, and they will take Canghai Star first.
Dennis was waiting for a reply from Tianyun and the Zerg. Soon after, the quantum computer connected to the information from Tianyun.
Brightman looked at him. "The Zerg are willing to negotiate?"
After reading the message, Dennis sighed and patted Brightman's head, saying, "It's a pity, Brightman, the Zerg are unwilling to sit at the negotiating table, but that's to be expected. One Tangting and one Lockin are not enough to control them."
His eyes fell on the irregularly shaped, blood-red stone projected onto the screen on the table. The stone kept changing shape, and golden light flowed within it.
This is a bloodstone from the Casa Galaxy, and it's the purest mutated bloodstone. The bloodstones that flow into the black market are completely incomparable to this.
Looking at the blood-gold stone before him, a cruel smile crept across his lips. "The little king worm is on the front lines of Canghai Star. If they don't come, we'll go and catch it ourselves."
Brightman's gaze also fell on Bloodstone. "Don't let her get hurt."
Dennis: "Implants won't happen, but other things..."
His smile vanished. He activated his personal terminal and instructed the person on the other end of the communication channel, "Have Karina take Tangting and Logan to the front lines and kill them in front of the Zerg."
