"This is insane!"
When Mei Qiu received the news that the Zerg had suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Canglan Star Region, his eyes turned red. Especially since there had been no unusual activity from the Zerg outside the Hualan Star Region in the past few days, he did not believe that the Zerg's sudden attack on the Canglan Star Region was a last-minute decision!
The most crucial point is that he can't easily mobilize troops right now. The distance between Hualan Star and the Sixth Legion is too great. By the time they send reinforcements, it will be too late!
The key issue is that the Zerg are still watching them closely, threatening them against making any rash moves.
Mei Qiu wanted to slap herself for sending Mingmei to the Canglan Star Region.
"What did the Empire say?"
Mei Qiu took a deep breath and looked at her secretary with a cold gaze. The secretary was still in shock from Mei Qiu's outburst, but when she did, she seemed to remember something.
"No, there's been no news from the Empire yet, but—"
The secretary's hesitation made Mei Qiu subconsciously realize that the following news might not be good news.
"It's just that both Marshal Wang and Marshal Lu sent you private messages..."
The private message the secretary mentioned wasn't the private message they sent to Mei Qiu, but rather the private message those two sent to the Hua Lan Star military headquarters.
"What news?"
It was quite unusual for these two old marshals to secretly pass messages to them, bypassing the Empire.
"They said that the Third and Fifth Legions could cooperate if needed. In addition, they provided the private accounts of the leaders of these two legions."
After the secretary finished speaking, he glanced at Mei Qiu again. Seeing that Mei Qiu's expression was normal, he was about to look away and breathe a sigh of relief when Mei Qiu suddenly smiled.
His smile also carried a hint of ferocity.
"empire……"
Muttering the word "empire" repeatedly to herself, Mei Qiu waved her secretary away from the office and dialed a communication button...
Empire Central Star.
"What's going on today? Why is the legion's troop strength being reduced?"
Given Yuan Fang's current status in the military, even if the Central Star needed reinforcements for defense, it wouldn't be his place. However, just two hours ago, he and Bai Xiao were taken by their superior to a starship and flown back to the Central Star.
After leaving the central star, before Yuan Fang and Bai Xiao could follow the next instructions, Yuan Fang saw the Yuan family appear. It was his maternal grandfather's steward who bypassed his superior and took them back.
"What happened?"
At this point, Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang roughly realized that something big was about to happen.
"A large number of Zerg have appeared on the border of the Canglan Starfield."
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Bai Xiao's face changed drastically.
She quickly looked down and turned on her personal terminal. A flood of news about the incident popped up. She didn't have time to look at the details. Remembering that Hu Yue and the others were over there, she wanted to contact them right now.
However, Yuan Fang sensed that there seemed to be other issues behind this operation. The Central Star hadn't been this panicked when the Third Legion was attacked.
"Why is the military strength on the central star reduced? Those Zerg are fighting very fiercely this time and have already crossed the border?"
“No, it’s the area where the Zerg have appeared. They’re not appearing on the border between the Empire and the Zerg,” the butler said, sighing, “the border of the Canglan Star Region.”
Needless to say, this border of the Canglan Starfield is definitely not the same place as the area they previously mentioned.
Thinking about it this way, Yuan Fang's face also darkened.
"In other words, the Zerg could very well bypass the Sixth Legion and directly attack the Fourth Legion's territory?"
"No... based on current information, the Zerg seem to still be targeting the Sixth Legion."
Those who knew this news were also puzzled: why was the Zerg focused on the Canglan Star Region?
This made the soldiers of the Fourth Army Corps, who were already stationed on the border, breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, their hearts couldn't help but tighten.
"Why don't we go and help them?"
People were whispering about it, looking at the overwhelming posts, especially the short videos of the aerial battle that had just broken out in the sky above Qilan Star.
A mech explodes in mid-air, taking three Zerg swarms with it and perishing together.
Even if the image isn't the clearest, and looks like it was captured in a hurried glance, it's still stunning enough.
However, the battle video that had just sparked heated discussions was taken down by a 404 error the next second.
"Damn it! What are you deleting at this hour?"
"Hey kid, what are you doing?"
As the soldier muttered curses about not being able to find the video, he was finally caught by his squad leader, who came to relieve him of his shift, and was severely reprimanded, "Still online at a time like this?"
"No, squad leader, I just saw something about the Battle of Qilan Starfield. The whole sky was filled with it, oh my god..." The soldier described it vividly, and even the squad leader was listening intently. But then he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "The video has been deleted, and now all the chats and trending topics about the Canglan Starfield have been removed."
As he spoke, he raised the personal terminal on his wrist to demonstrate these features, which made even his class monitor somewhat angry.
"What's going on? What's wrong with the network?!"
Not only were they complaining, but the citizens of the Empire, who were worried about the border issues just a moment ago, were also getting restless.
User 1: [Why would the internet be cut off at a time like this?]
Netizen 2: [Hilarious! Double standards, are they cutting off my internet? They say other things have the best internet speed, but when QLX comes up, it's gone. What's going on?]
User 3: [Here's a joke—if no one tells it, then it never happened.]
Netizen 4: [I just don't understand, what does what we said have to do with what we said? Also, did what we said affect their rescue efforts?]
