The next day.
Early morning.
06:20.
Kerrigan and her group arrived at the agreed meeting point with Su Bai in their Ghost Fighters.
At the rendezvous point, Prince Valerian and General Warfield's troops had already regrouped.
"Radar indicates it's a Ghost Fighter; Kerrigan and her team are here!"
Valerian strode forward.
instantly.
The Ghost Fighter landed.
The machine door is opened.
Kerrigan, Zhao Ganwu, Tosh, and Li Enzhen filed out one after another.
"Boss, we're here!" Zhao Ganwu shouted.
"Young Master Su?" Li Enzhen looked around, searching for Su Bai's figure.
“The commander doesn’t seem to be here,” Tosh said slowly.
Kerrigan's eyes narrowed slightly.
His deep pupils shimmered with a faint, eerie light.
She demanded of Valerian, "Where is Suebeth?"
"Feel sorry……"
Valerian sighed: "At that time, my troops were attacked by the Royal Guard again."
"The squad I sent out was completely wiped out."
"We couldn't get Su Bai out..."
The words were spoken.
Kerrigan clenched her fists.
Almost instantly, the color changed drastically.
"You vowed to meet him, but you failed to do so!"
Purple psionic energy surged forth.
He grabbed Valerian by the neck.
The young prince's body was lifted into the air by psychic energy.
"Protect the prince!"
Nearby soldiers raised their guns and quickly moved towards the scene.
"It's just one problem after another." Tosh raised his gun, assuming a fighting stance.
"Boss, are you alright...?" Zhao Ganwu muttered to himself, slightly lost in thought.
"The asteroid where the research station is located has been completely occupied by Mengsk's Royal Guard. Lord Su..." Lee Eun-jung's eyes were filled with worry.
The soldiers pointed their guns at Kerrigan: "Release the prince!"
However.
Kerrigan was in a fit of rage and couldn't care less about any of that.
She waved her hand casually.
Psychic energy swept outwards in all directions.
The approaching soldiers were instantly shot down.
“Calm down, Kerrigan!” General Warfield strode over.
He said in a deep voice, "His Highness Valerian is absolutely friendly towards Commander Su Bai."
"It was just that the situation was urgent at the time, and the Royal Guard's offensive was too fierce."
"Our backup team was unfortunately wiped out."
Just then.
A rapid alarm sounded.
"warn!"
"Defense system failure!"
"Multiple battlecruisers have broken through the defenses!"
Above the rendezvous point.
The light flickered.
Dozens of battlecruisers belonging to the Royal Guard suddenly leaped over.
A round of firepower strikes.
Smoke and fire instantly filled the air on the ground.
Immediately afterwards.
These were numerous airdrop pods, launched from the belly of the battlecruiser.
"Prepare for defense!"
General Warfield's expression changed. "Summon the emergency tactical squad and do everything in your power to intercept the landing enemy!"
now.
General Warfield had no choice but to pledge allegiance to Prince Valerian.
Otherwise, after we go back...
Even Führer Mengsk wouldn't let him off the hook.
Kerrigan raised her head and looked up at the sky.
The released psychic energy then dissipated.
Valerian coughed. "Quickly! Organize forces and intercept the Royal Guard's attack!"
High in the sky.
The battlecruiser continued its bombing raid.
General Warfield switched to the Imperial internal communications channel.
He cried out, "Royal Guard, cease fire immediately! Prince Valerian is still down there!"
“General, it’s no use.” Valerian gave a bitter smile. “My father will stop at nothing to destroy the Queen of Blades.”
"So, even though I'm here."
"The Royal Guard will not stop attacking either."
General Warfield looked up.
His brows furrowed into a knot.
"The offensive is so fierce, we can't hold out!"
"We must evacuate immediately!"
"We'll find a way to go back and find Commander Su Bai later!"
Kerrigan turned around.
They walked towards the Ghost Fighter in the underground hangar.
"I'm going back to that asteroid. I won't leave until I find Su Bai!"
Zhao Ganwu, Tosh, and Li Enzhen also followed closely behind.
Valerian cried out repeatedly, "Come back! We must cooperate! Otherwise, we cannot possibly defeat my father's army!"
However.
The four of them did not stop at all.
Piloting the Ghost Fighter, they sped away from the other side.
...
...
Three hours later.
The Ghost fighter arrived near the asteroid.
“Kerrigan, my men have tracked down multiple warp signals from the Royal Guard toward the asteroid’s surface.”
Valerian transmitted the latest intelligence via a communication device.
"The surface of the asteroid is now completely occupied by the Royal Guard."
“Once you land, you will face great danger.”
Kerry Gan stood tall and proud.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Valenian, thank you for your intelligence."
"But for Su Bai, I wouldn't care even if it cost me my life."
soon.
The Ghost Fighter landed.
Kerrigan, Zhao Ganwu, Tosh, and Li Enzhen stepped out of the fighter jet and stood on the ground.
"The Royal Guard base has been established."
Tosh raised his arm.
A projected image is projected from a communication device on the arm.
The footage shows the military base established by the Royal Guard.
"What kind of weapon is that giant cannon that's a hundred meters long?" Zhao Ganwu was slightly surprised.
Pointing to a very conspicuous long-barreled giant cannon in the picture.
Tosh's voice deepened slightly: "That should be the Draken Pulse Cannon."
At this moment.
The voice of a Royal Guard commander can be heard in the video.
"The Führer has given an order!"
"Use the Dracon pulse cannon!"
"Destroy all ships attempting to leave this planet!"
"Watch out! Keep a close eye on them!"
"We must not let even a fly escape!"
The Draken pulse cannon started moving.
The cannon barrel was raised.
Pointing to the sky.
It sends chills down your spine.
"As soon as Su Bai leaves the ground and enters high-altitude orbit, this cannon will immediately shoot down his spaceship."
Kerrigan's voice was low and deep, "We must find a way to destroy it!"
The other three looked solemn and nodded.
Zhao Ganwu spoke up:
"The Royal Guard used special shielding devices to prevent us from establishing contact with Leviathan."
"Now, we can only rely on ourselves."
"But we must launch an attack on the Imperial base."
Lee Eun-jung looked serious.
She said in a deep voice, "Only by destroying the Draken pulse cannon will Lord Su have a chance of survival."
Kerry Gan pondered for a moment.
Then, he said to the group:
Time waits for no one.
“Every second we delay here, Su Bai’s chances of escaping become increasingly slim.”
"We must infiltrate the military base established by the Royal Guard immediately."
"Then, destroy the Draken pulse cannon."
Zhao Ganwu nodded emphatically: "You're right! We must act immediately!"
then.
The four moved swiftly, rushing towards the military base where the Draken pulse cannon was located.
...
...
at the same time.
On the other side of the asteroid.
Su Bai was in an insect nest, controlling everything there with his mental power.
"I wonder if Kerrigan, Zhao Ganwu, Tosh, and Li Enzhen escaped?"
If not.
"The Dracon Pulse Cannon is a huge threat; once the Ghost Fighter takes off, it will be destroyed immediately."
He looked around and saw the larvae in the nest constantly mutating into springtails.
"This alien insect nest has a relatively homogeneous genetic makeup."
"Only springtails can hatch."
"But if we have a large enough number of them, we can still take down the Royal Guard's base."
Previously, Nova led the Ghost Agents to surround Su Bai.
The situation is critical.
Su Bai was prepared to get injured.
Just then.
A large number of springtails appeared.
The leader is a queen insect.
His name is Nakotur.
She sensed Su Bai's presence and thus promptly led her troops to appear.
Defeat Nova and her ghost agent squad.
They then took Su Bai back to a nearby insect nest.
Sensing Su Bai's powerful aura, the insect queen Nakotur did not hesitate and immediately chose to submit.
He also handed over the insect nest to Su Bai.
Only then was Su Bai able to escape unharmed.
"Once the number of springtails increases, I will immediately launch an attack on that military base."
The insect mother, Nakotur, stood to one side.
A hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes as he looked at Su Bai.
"As long as you are here, the Zerg swarm will definitely become stronger!"
Su Bai glanced sideways.
He spoke up, saying, "Why should you pledge your allegiance to me?"
Without hesitation, the Zerg Queen Nakotur declared, "The Zerg race honors the strong! You are strong and can lead us to a brighter future, therefore, I pledge my allegiance to you!"
Su Bai nodded slightly.
"From this day forward, you will be an official member of my Zerg swarm."
"Next, I need your troops to destroy the enemy's Draken pulse cannons."
"Although there will be casualties, once my Leviathan arrives, all the lost biomass here will be replenished."
"Then, your troops will become more numerous."
A hint of excitement appeared in the eyes of the insect queen, Nakotur.
Her voice was filled with emotion: "My master, thank you for your grace!"
"To show my loyalty, I've also recalled the main Zerg forces from other areas!"
"I can send them to you!"
But this will take a little time!
Su Bai nodded slightly.
"Great! Thank you! You've saved me from this urgent problem!"
This insect nest is relatively small.
Biomass shortage.
There are also few larvae.
Therefore, the mutant springtail is somewhat slow.
The Imperial base where the Draken pulse cannon was located was heavily guarded.
No other military branches participated in the battle.
To break through, a very large number of springtails are required.
Su Bai was initially worried about the safety of Kerrigan and her group.
But now, with the support of Nakotur's main Zerg army, they can definitely break through the Imperial base quickly.
This creates a safe environment for Kerrigan and his group to escape.
"Enemy detected!"
The insect queen Nakotur turned her head, and her voice suddenly rang out.
Su Bai looked closely.
It was a patrol of Royal Guard soldiers.
There are approximately five people.
"Kill them!"
Su Bai's killing intent was palpable.
More than two hundred jumping insects inside the nest roared and charged forward.
They tore the five Royal Guard soldiers to pieces.
"As expected of a jumping bug, its combat power is ferocious!"
Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
Although the Zerglings under the command of Queen Naktur had not undergone any evolution and their combat strength was inferior to the Zerglings she brought from the Land of Redemption.
But its advantage lies in its large quantity.
Overwhelming the garrison within the Imperial base would be absolutely no problem.
"By the way, Master! When the Imperial army arrived, many of my Zerglings were trapped in nearby caves."
The Zerg Queen Nakotur looked at Su Bai, "If you can rescue them, the swarm attacking the Imperial base will be even larger."
Su Bai nodded.
"Well said!"
"Then you stay and guard the hive!"
"I'm taking fifty zebraflies with me to search for and rescue any zebraflies trapped nearby!"
The words were spoken.
Su Bai held the Seven Star Dragon Spring Sword.
Leading the swarm of jumping insects away from the hive.
Under his brilliant command, the springtails launched a surprise attack, wiping out patrols of Royal Guard soldiers.
Half an hour later.
More than 300 trapped springtails were rescued.
Now.
Su Bai now commands over seven hundred jumping insects.
The Insect Queen Nakotur scanned the area and said in a deep voice:
"Not enough! The Imperial base is formidable; we need more Zerg soldiers to destroy it."
Su Bai's expression was solemn.
"I know."
But time waits for no one.
"If we wait any longer, my companions may get hurt."
The insect mother Nakotur pondered for a moment.
He then said, "How about this, you lead the swarm of jumping insects and launch the attack first."
"I'll urge them again to speed up the return of the main Zerg swarm."
Su Bai nodded in agreement.
He led over seven hundred Zerglings away from the hive and sped toward the Imperial base.
Wherever they went.
All the Royal Guard patrol soldiers they encountered were killed.
"Boom boom boom!"
Outside the Imperial base, Marines stationed in steel bunkers unleashed a hail of bullets at the invading enemy.
However.
Bunkers alone are absolutely insufficient to withstand an attack by a swarm of Zerglings.
As expected.
One minute later.
The six outer steel bunkers were all destroyed.
All forty-eight Marines inside were killed by the springtails.
"Initial reconnaissance indicates that there are approximately one thousand Marines at the Imperial base ahead."
"My seven hundred-plus springtails are absolutely no match for this."
"But the situation is urgent."
"For the safety of Kerrigan and the others, we must launch an attack."
Su Bai slightly raised his eyes, which were bright and piercing.
He believed that as long as the springtails launched an attack, they could distract the enemy.
Then Kerrigan and her crew would have a better chance of escaping.
At this moment.
The insect queen Nakotur rushed to the front line.
She said, "Master, the tunnel worms are approaching your location!"
"My main Zerg army will arrive soon!"
Su Bai's eyes lit up.
A hint of joy appeared on his face.
"here you go!"
"Naktur!"
You didn't let me down!
The insect queen Nakotur said very seriously, "I will serve my master with all my heart and soul!"
Su Bai led the swarm of jumping insects and continued to advance.
soon.
They then destroyed all the defenses surrounding the Imperial base.
The springtail swarm stood ready, arrayed outside the base gate.
They will launch an attack as soon as Su Bai gives the order.
The base commander was a general of the Royal Guard.
He stood on the observation platform.
They were observing the swarm of springtails outside.
Damn it!
"Su Bai not only escaped!"
"They've even managed to assemble another swarm of insectoid soldiers!"
The soldiers inside the base were moved to the vicinity of the gate.
This resulted in a weakened internal defense.
now.
Kerrigan, Zhao Ganwu, Tosh, and Li Enzhen are lying in wait inside the base.
They waited for an opportunity to approach the Draken pulse cannon.
"Huh? Something's strange!"
Kerrigan frowned. "Why did the soldiers inside the base suddenly run outside?"
Zhao Ganwu said gruffly, "We must have been lucky!"
"Seize this opportunity, charge in! Destroy the Draken pulse cannon in one fell swoop!" Tosh's eyes lit up.
The four of them sped up.
Proceed deeper into the base.
And at the main entrance of the base.
Su Bai saw that the enemies had all appeared at the gate.
After a cursory observation of the situation.
They abandoned their plan to launch a full-scale attack.
Because of the thousands of Marines, plus strong defensive fortifications.
More than seven hundred springtails are absolutely no match for them.
"We can only stay here and patiently wait for reinforcements!"
He muttered something to himself.
