Chapter 241: Changes in the Empire
Zerg!!
Almost as soon as Lan Xue finished speaking, a swarm of Zerg appeared in front of everyone like a tide.
"withdraw!"
The moment she received the order, the female turned around and retreated without hesitation in her mecha. At the same time, the heavy mechas controlled by the males around her instantly rushed forward.
The energy cannon roared and tore through the swarm of insects, and the steel defense line built by the heavy mechas bought precious time for the females in the rear to evacuate.
However, the number of Zerg was too large. Their sharp limbs scraped against the surface of the heavy mecha, making a harsh sound, and they rushed towards the federal front one after another.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Wangyue's pupils suddenly shrank, and his vast mental power burst out in an instant.
The spiritual sea of the Zerg that rushed to the front was directly shattered by Jiang Wangyue's powerful mental power!
They fell silently into the dark universe without even a chance to struggle.
"The Star Destroyer is ready! Yueyue! Retreat!"
Ling Yue's anxious voice sounded in Jiang Wangyue's earphones.
Before Jiang Wangyue could respond, a silver light suddenly flashed. Ji Li drove the Shuoyue and blocked the Dark Star at the critical moment, intercepting the Zerg's fatal sneak attack.
Jiang Wangyue's pupils suddenly shrank.
When did this bug sneak in? The mecha's battlefield perception system didn't even detect it!
"It's the stealth Zerg!"
Yun Miao immediately revealed the Zerg species and urgently warned, "Female! Use your mental power to scan!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wangyue's mental power surged out again, covering all of his own mechas in the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of ferocious insects were nowhere to hide under Jiang Wangyue's mental detection, and their translucent outlines appeared in an instant.
Their target is the light mechas and the females in the mechas that fell behind the team!
Upon realizing this, Jiang Wangyue's eyes immediately became stern.
All the stealth Zergs that were locked by the mental power suddenly stiffened, their compound eyes bulged with bloodshot, and the next second they silently exploded into a sky full of mucus, splashing on the shells of those mechas like raindrops.
"Walk!!"
As the last mecha drove dangerously into the battleship's hatch, the star destroyer's blazing light burst out instantly, illuminating the entire dark star field like daylight.
Jiang Wangyue jumped off the mecha, covered his pounding chest, turned to look at Yun Miao, and asked in a dry voice, "What are stealth Zerg?"
Yun Miao reached out to support her and told her in a deep voice everything he knew about the stealthy Zerg.
Stealth Zerg, as the name suggests, can use mechas, spaceships, and other items to conceal their bodies and sneak behind enemy lines. Their external armor changes color like a chameleon, depending on the object they are attached to.
However, the number of stealth Zerg is very small, and reproduction is extremely difficult.
Even Ling Yue and Yun Miao, who had been fighting the Zerg on the front lines for many years, had never heard of a situation where hundreds of them were deployed at once like today.
The atmosphere in the command room was suddenly extremely depressing, and the air seemed to have become stagnant.
Catherine raised her hand to rub her swollen temples and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Luckily the supplies arrived in time, otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to activate the Star Destroyer."
The energy consumption of the star destroyer cannon is terrifying, and the edge galaxies adjacent to the empire's border are uninhabited and lack resources, and must rely on external energy supply.
Because of this, they had previously been forced to engage in dangerous mecha close combat with the Empire.
Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, lightly swiped his fingertips across the screen in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "The Empire no longer wants to play with us..."
A high-ranking member of the Legion slammed his hand on the table and roared, gritting his teeth. "Isn't the Empire afraid of being bitten back by the Zerg later? No matter what, the struggle between the Empire and the Federation is also an internal conflict among us Orcs! What are the Zerg? They are an alien race! An alien race that would like to devour our bones and suck our marrow!!"
Ling Yue propped up his chin in thought, "If I say that the empire is no longer ruled by orcs, wouldn't it be easier to understand?"
Everyone present turned their eyes to Ling Yue.
Someone opened his mouth and murmured in disbelief: "Admiral, you mean..."
After a brief silence, Jiang Wangyue slowly spoke to help him complete the unfinished words.
Her voice was clear, but the words she spoke made them all shudder.
"The emperor of the empire has been controlled by the Zerg."
Ling Yue, Catherine and others were focusing on another aspect.
Is Jiang Wangyue's tone a little too confident?
Without waiting for them to ask, Jiang Wangyue set up sharing of his terminal screen.
"Former Imperial Admiral and Commander of the Hunting Corps, Ethan, secretly returned to the Empire. This is the investigative information he sent back. Based on its contents, the Empire's Emperor may now be just a puppet, or rather, a puppet disguised by the Zerg."
Empire, imperial capital.
In the dark corner, Ethan covered the boy's mouth tightly in his arms, preventing him from making any sound.
The fishy stench exhaled by the ugly and ferocious Zerg was almost hitting their faces, and the boy's eyes were full of fear.
There was a sudden noise outside, and the Zerg immediately turned around and flew towards the direction of the sound.
Ethan decisively carried the boy out of the corner and left quickly before the Zerg returned.
He has already spread the news, and now it depends on what the federation does next.
Thinking of this, Ethan looked down at the shivering boy and couldn't help but frowned.
He wanted to return to Felix immediately, but this child...
The male orc boy seemed to have noticed Ethan's hesitation and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, but quickly let go.
"General... General... you go... avenge them..."
Seeing the young man was obviously terrified but still asking him to leave quickly, Ethan was in a daze for a moment.
He seemed to see himself back then.
Ethan was silent for a while, then he grabbed the boy's collar again and warned him coldly, "Shut up."
There was a faint fishy smell coming from him again, and Ethan's expression immediately darkened.
But this time, before the Zerg could get close, a pulse cannon shot instantly killed it.
"Admiral! This way!"
The male orc with flamboyant blond hair greeted loudly, and Ethan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed over with the boy in his arms.
"Walk!!"
Ethan led the boy and followed his subordinates around, turning left and right. The three of them passed through the winding alleys. After confirming that there was no tail following them, they finally walked into an ordinary, inconspicuous house.
Ethan glanced at the people in the room, his expression suddenly turning cold.
"You've all come to the imperial capital, what about the front line?!"
Several people looked at each other in confusion. The blond male orc couldn't help but speak: "Admiral, I don't know what happened to the Zerg. They withdrew half of the troops on the front line. We are afraid..."
"What did you say?!"
