"All the Zerg cores here can be exchanged for points. Adding the eleven million points I obtained before (the depleted Zerg hive energy crystal of the Zerg general-level hive aggregate, the pseudo-Zerg commander), and the Zerg cores I got from the previous battle, I'm almost at fifty million points."
Mo Tianyun quickly calculated in his mind and was surprised to find that he already had so many points.
The largest source of these points was the Zerg that were wiped out at the end of that great war.
That time, I earned a total of 30 million points.
What Mo Tianyun regretted was that too many Zerg were killed by the energy attacks of the interstellar shuttle warships, which meant that most of the Zerg were reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace.
Otherwise, he would have hundreds of millions of points by now.
"Commander-in-Chief, these Zerg cores are all the stock we have at our base. The purpose of Zerg cores is to provide energy, and the military merit points they can be exchanged for are not very high. These are worth a total of 0.4 military merit points."
The lieutenant colonel continued.
"Sure, no problem!"
Mo Tianyun easily exchanged all these crystal cores.
A standard Zerg core costs 0.1 military merit points, an elite Zerg core costs 1 military merit point, a leader-level Zerg core costs 100 military merit points, and a Zerg lord-level Zerg core costs 1000 military merit points.
This is the military merit value used to exchange for Zerg cores of various levels.
Three days later.
The Duna Star Defense Military Base is slowly returning to its former state.
Today, Mo Tianyun will preside over a grand memorial ceremony.
The memorial is for all the soldiers who died in the two wars at the Duna Star Defense Military Base.
Whether they were fighter jet division soldiers or ordinary soldiers, everyone was there to bid them farewell and mourn.
The farewell ceremony was held at the original site of the headquarters building.
A martyrs' cemetery was built in these ruins, and a special intelligent system was installed to store the military information of each martyr.
The AI projected a huge light screen, displaying countless tiny figures. Below each tiny figure were the names, achievements, and ranks of the fallen soldiers.
Mo Tianyun took off the hat from his military uniform.
Silence fell over the room.
"On January 28th of the 39th year of the Oron Empire, our Duna Star Defense Military Base sacrificed a soldier, finally annihilating all the Zerg in the Zerg Hive Aggregate of the Zerg General level."
"Also, on February 1st of the 39th year of the reign, a Zerg that was about to evolve into a Zerg General appeared in the headquarters building of our Duna Star Defense Military Base, and we lost 10 soldiers."
"Three days have passed since this tragic battle. Today, we remember all our compatriots who sacrificed their lives. It was because of them that we were able to protect all the people within tens of light-years behind us. Let us pay our highest respects and bid farewell to our comrades!"
"May they be free from the Zerg in heaven and be happy and joyful. May the departed rest in peace. May our land be safe and sound. May the harsh winter end and spring bring warmth and flowers, and may there be no more war."
After Mo Tianyun finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Colonel Chris, the lieutenant colonels, majors, and other officers, along with countless ordinary soldiers and the combat mech division, all bowed in response.
In the past few days, everything used at the Duna Star Defense Military Base has been changed to white.
It is to commemorate all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives.
In the past few days, Mo Tianyun has also been thinking about many things.
Whenever I recall the countless ordinary soldiers who were powerless to resist the energy torrents unleashed by the pseudo-Zerg general, I feel a deep sense of loss.
Mo Tianyun felt extremely pained. He also blamed himself, wondering if he was not strong enough to protect everyone and to provide them with a peaceful life.
But then he suddenly realized that if it weren't for him, all the soldiers at the Duna Star defense base would have perished, along with the people of all the immigrant planets surrounding the base, who would have lost their lives under the trampling of the Zerg.
He felt that he had done everything within his power and had not failed in any way.
But a nameless sorrow lingered in his heart, preventing him from finding peace of mind.
He could not forget the massive explosion in which Major General Griffith Fred dragged two Zerg generals into nothingness, nor could he forget the energy torrent unleashed by the pseudo-Zerg commander, watching helplessly as the pseudo-Zerg commander killed all the soldiers.
After the memorial service, Mo Tianyun felt an invisible pressure on his body.
"Sister Miracle, I want to become stronger! Strong enough that everything in the world is up to me, strong enough that everything is at my command, strong enough to support the happy lives of countless ordinary people!"
Mo Tianyun, piloting the enhanced Thousand Swords mech, burst out of the atmosphere of Duna Star and entered the starlight-filled universe. Suddenly, he spoke to the Spirit of Miracles.
"Mo Tianyun, becoming stronger is a step-by-step process; you can't reach the sky in one step. So don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your current rate of progress is already very fast. But there will always be regrets in the world. So let these regrets, these sorrows, and these pressures become the driving force for your inner progress!"
The spirit of the miracle comforted Mo Tianyun.
"Yes, there will always be regrets; the world is not perfect!"
Mo Tianyun gazed at the beautiful starry sky and sighed.
Gradually, he seemed to become somewhat obsessed.
"The starlight tonight seems to give me a different feeling."
Mo Tianyun said to himself.
Slowly, Mo Tianyun took out his mecha sword and began to perform the Star Moon Sword Technique and the Thousand Starlight Sword repeatedly in space, completely absorbed in the experience.
The two martial arts techniques are used separately and then combined, gradually reaching a higher level and becoming more and more masterful.
In the vast universe, there is no day or night.
Mo Tianyun practiced martial arts techniques like this for a very, very long time.
The spirit of the miracle simply stared blankly into the core space of the miracle, a satisfied smile playing on its lips.
At one point, Mo Tianyun saw an image of stars and the moon shining together, but this image had a more perfect feel to it than before, and it looked as if it were real.
Furthermore, countless stars shone around Mo Tianyun. These stars were no longer transformed from the Starlight Sword, but formed a unified image.
At this moment, Mo Tianyun's Star Moon Sword Technique reached its perfect state, and his Myriad Starlight Swords reached the realm of imagery.
From then on, Mo Tianyun's strength increased significantly.
If that pseudo-Zerg commander were to reappear, Mo Tianyun would surely be able to easily break through that incredibly tough outer armor.
