The Principality of the Southern Cross is located on the habitable planet at the southernmost end of the Bochen Galaxy. There are almost no people on it, only forests and oceans. It is the place where the senior government officials and nobles of the Southern Cross usually go hunting and vacation.
And the remaining population on the capital planet Southern Cross is the Principality of Southern Cross, which has a population of 5 billion!
In other words, one-third of the population of the Principality of the Southern Cross lives on the capital planet - the Southern Cross.
The most powerful military forces are also concentrated here to protect the planet.
However, facing the aggressive Zerg army, they were defeated again and again.
Especially with the weapons made by the craftsmen of the now-destroyed Simonelli Federation, they are almost unstoppable!
The Principality of the Southern Cross used all the weapons, starships, fighter jets, and space ion beam cannons developed in recent years, but still could not defeat the enemy.
Because the opponent’s “insect count” is too large!
Moreover, each of them is fearless and can step on the corpses of the Zerg soldiers in front of them and still never retreat.
Fortunately, on the capital planet of the Southern Cross Principality, due to strict precautions, there is still no small wormhole channel that should be opened in the Dongtian Yuanshen country.
For the time being, they can still rely on the galaxy across the starry sky to temporarily confront each other.
…
This evening, the Southern Cross.
The Grand Duke of Nantes convened an emergency meeting of senior government officials.
He is also the commander-in-chief of the country's army, but his army has lost 80% of its troops. The remaining 20% is in a stalemate with the Zerg army sent by the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom in the star field above the Southern Cross.
Sitting at the head of the long conference table in the meeting room, he looked at the high-ranking officials and nobles in the room and said in a deep voice: "I can't believe that our Southern Cross Principality was not destroyed by the Beichen Empire, but was destroyed by the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom!"
A young officer under him muttered, "...The Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom was destroyed long ago...How can those Zerg soldiers now be from the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom?!"
He is right.
Grand Duke Nans closed his eyes and said, "At least, in the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom, the one who calls the shots is still their blessed daughter, Wenren Zhao of the Wenren family!"
As he spoke, he pulled open the virtual display screen, and the person who appeared on it was Wen Ren Zhao.
She wore a tight long skirt and held a folding fan in her hand, always covering the lower half of her face involuntarily.
On the virtual display, Wen Renzhao smiled and said, "Grand Duke of Nans, have you made up your mind?"
The Grand Duke of Nans frowned and said, "If we surrender, can you really stop the attack and let the five billion people on our planet survive?"
Wen Renzhao seemed to have heard something particularly funny and let out a shrill laugh: "Hahahahahaha..."
"Grand Duke of Nantes, what are you thinking of?"
"Five billion people survived, but what will my men eat and drink?"
Her face darkened and she said calmly, "I can only allow a thousand of you to escape to the Beichen Empire."
"As for the rest, leave it alone."
The Grand Duke of Nantes slammed his fist down on the conference table: "So there's no room for negotiation?! — If there's no room for negotiation, then let's fight!"
He turned off the video call.
In the conference room, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Southern Cross Principality government, who had witnessed Wen Renzhao's arrogance, were all filled with indignation.
The same young officer angrily said, "Is there something wrong with Wenren Zhao's brain?!"
"They asked us to surrender, and then told us that even if we surrender we would still die, or even live a life worse than death! — Then what if we were crazy enough to surrender?!"
The others also said, "Fight! Even if we are completely wiped out, it's better than surrendering and being used as food and breeding tools for those disgusting bugs!"
They have been fighting with the Zerg army of the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom for half a month, so they naturally know how miserable the situation is for the humans on the occupied planets!
Only now did they understand, where in the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom were there still people?!
This country has been destroyed long ago...
It’s a pity that they knew nothing about this before and rejected the request of the Beichen Empire Alliance.
Thinking about it now, I want to strangle the complacent self of that time!
The Grand Duke of Nantes raised his hand and pressed it.
The meeting room fell silent.
The Grand Duke of Nantes said, "We all know that even if we surrender, Wenren Zhao will not treat us as human beings!"
"If you are willing to serve as food and breeding tools for the Zerg, I won't stop you. Leave now!"
If the people in the conference room had been hoping for luck, hoping to sell out others so they could survive...
But now Wenren Zhao clearly told them that only one thousand people could escape to the star field of Beichen Empire.
All the remaining people are rations and breeding tools for her Zerg army.
Then there's really nothing else to think about.
Everyone reached a rare unanimous agreement: "Fight! We must fight!"
"I'd rather die in battle than end up in a situation where life is worse than death!"
The Grand Duke of Nans nodded and said with a look of self-blame, "We rejected the Beichen Empire's proposal before, and we deserve what we have today."
"I want to try again and contact the Beichen Empire to see if they are still willing to... join forces with us..."
"If we had agreed to the Beichen Empire's proposal before, we should now be joining forces with the Beichen Empire to attack Wen Renzhao's Zerg army from both the north and the south."
"And the Western Manelli Federation won't be destroyed so quickly. We still have a chance to fight."
"But now, we are running out of weapons and rations."
