For the Earth and the human race, the battle between the people of Area 11 and Britannia was not enough to attract any attention. This was even more true for the fleet in the universe.

"This is Leander."

Standing on the bridge, looking at the huge planet in the distance, Leander played with his hair while staring at the screen and spoke softly.

"Calling the First Fleet, I have found the remaining Reapers in the Jupiter airspace, fifteen in number, currently in Jupiter's orbit, and no response."

"First Fleet received, Leander, stay alert, we will be there immediately..."

"Yes, Leander understands."

After receiving instructions from Iona through the mental network, Leander nodded, then looked at Jupiter in the distance again. However, the next moment, Leander's eyes widened in surprise.

"What is that?"

In the image detected by the radar, something suddenly began to flow out from Jupiter's Great Red Spot... It was...

"Leander calling the First Fleet! Unidentified objects have appeared in Jupiter's Great Red Spot! The number is incalculable! There are no markings, but it is initially determined to be some kind of alien life form... The Reapers are attacking them!"

While Leander was calling, the Reapers in Jupiter's orbit also noticed these uninvited guests who came from nowhere. They immediately turned around and attacked the enemies that emerged from Jupiter's Great Red Spot.

These things that emerged from Jupiter's Great Red Spot were silver-white in appearance and looked like warships condensed from some kind of liquid metal. Facing the attack of the Reapers, these strange silver objects immediately launched a counterattack. However, the way they fought back was somewhat unexpected.

Instead of using the particle attacks or some weapons that Leander was familiar with, they rushed directly towards the Reapers and their drones!

“——!!”

Soon, Leander saw dozens of small, silver-white objects that looked like missiles crashing into the Reapers and drones, but they did not explode. Instead, they quickly spread over the other's bodies, as if they were eroding the other!

"What on earth is this?"

Looking at the battlefield in front of her, Leander was also stunned. She watched helplessly as the Reapers were hit, grabbed, and quickly wrapped up by those huge silver-white objects. Soon, more than a dozen Reapers that were previously in Jupiter's orbit were completely merged...

"This is Leander. The Reaper was swallowed and fused by an unknown object. I don't know what happened... Woo..."

Suddenly, at this moment, Leander screamed suddenly and then half-knelt on the ground.

"Leander? What's wrong with you? Leander?!"

"I, I don't know... There is an unknown signal trying to connect to me... Can't resolve it... My network is being interfered with..."

"Leander, leave it to me!"

“——!”

At this moment, a Pilgrim-class ship suddenly leaped over and stopped next to Leander.

"destiny……"

"Cut off external connections! Block ports and shield electronic signal communication networks! Fully activate ECM generators! Leander, we retreat!"

"Woo... jump engine started...!"

In just a moment, the two warships quickly disappeared into the vast sea of ​​stars.

"Unknown alien life form?"

Fang Zheng stood up and asked in a low voice while looking at the crowd of people organizing a protest march outside.

"What on earth is going on?"

"The situation is currently unclear. We just conducted a preliminary test on Leander. Her information port received a large amount of information and data exchange requests in an instant, but Leander was unable to process such a large amount of data, so she was affected to a certain extent."

"Is the child okay?"

"No, it's currently being repaired."

Iona's voice was as calm as ever.

"Captain, do you need the entire First Fleet to go out?"

“…No, wait…”

Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the window, thought for a moment, and then spoke again.

"How are the Reapers in orbit around Jupiter?"

"According to current detection, it is still in the orbit of Jupiter."

"Gather all warships and head to Mars."

Fang Zheng gave the order decisively.

"Have the Zerg immediately set up a sub-base on Mars and start multiplying. At the same time, send the flying dragons to the orbit of Jupiter to conduct reconnaissance on your behalf. During this period, you should not go anywhere else but stay on Mars. Remember, do not come into contact with those strange things. If those guys take any action, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

“Haha… this is really giving me a headache…”

After shutting down the communication, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. There are so many troubles in this universe. Compared with the mass world, the solar system hasn't even appeared yet, but why do some troubles happen all the time? Well, the reaper can be said to be an accident, but what is this thing that can devour and fuse other metals?

Facing such an enemy, we cannot allow our fleet to take risks.

But what's even funnier is that the Earth Federation still knows nothing about this... This is normal, after all, after being attacked by the Reapers, the entire human race has basically lost control of the solar system. Judging from their current fleet and the number of mobile suits, it is already very difficult to defend the Earth and the Moon. I heard that the Earth Federation is working on rebuilding the lunar defense line. At this time, it is obvious that they don't have the mind to care about what happened on Jupiter.

Although I want to tell the Earth Federation about this, but... forget it, let's just let them be quiet for a while.

The Reapers haven't been completely dealt with yet. If a more terrifying alien civilization comes, Fang Zheng is really afraid that they will all jump off the building.

In comparison, Fang Zheng really didn't take this little thing in District 11 seriously.

But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that when he wanted to be quiet for a while, others set their sights on him.

"Has the organization made a decision?"

A black-haired girl with twin ponytails, wearing an expedition hat and dressed like a traveler, was wandering left and right in the rain forest, holding a cell phone. On the other side, a calm and experienced voice sounded.

"Yes, we have decided to contact them. This is an opportunity for us and for the Earth. We cannot let it go."

"But didn't the other party disappear after destroying those Reapers?"

The girl flipped over the dead tree and landed steadily on the mossy ground. If Fang Zheng was here, he would definitely recognize that the girl who was hiking in the rainforest was Wang Liumei, who had invited him to dinner before.

"We don't even know the other party's phone number, how can we contact them?"

However, in response to the girl's question, there was only a moment of silence, and then an answer was given quickly.

"Nadeshiko."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Wang Liumei playfully stretched out her finger and pointed.

"But, from what I understand, the Nadeshiko has been isolated since returning to Earth, and is basically not allowed to come into contact with other people. How are we going to snatch people from those old men in the Federation?"

"Don't worry about that."

In response to Wang Liumei's question, the voice on the other end revealed a hint of pride.

"We have entrusted Mithril to handle this matter."
