The Zerg are brutal and war is cruel.
Humanity’s defenses were breached layer by layer, and the hottest headlines on Starnet every day were all about the battles on the front lines.
【Why did the Zerg come so quickly? 】
"It's all because of that human traitor. I'm too lazy to even mention his name. If humanity is ever wiped out by the Zerg, he'll be the culprit!"
[This is terrifying! Why is the Zerg invasion so ferocious? Is there still a chance for humanity to win?]
[Although I have great faith in the warriors on the front lines, the current battle situation is truly despairing!]
[Now that General Feng of the Seventh Legion is the Federation's commander-in-chief, with him around, we'll definitely be able to find a path to victory, right? After all, he's the Federation's youngest general. We must trust his abilities...]
"But, it was clearly reported before that he didn't die in the Star Beast Battlefield and had already returned, so why has there been no news since then? Could it be that the previous news was false? Are they actually saying General Feng is dead, and the higher-ups are spreading this fake news to fool us?"
[Not really…]
If this is true, who can save us?
【……】
There was a lot of discussion on the Star Network, and panic continued to spread along the Internet, especially after seeing the tragic fighting conditions on those battlefields, this emotion reached its peak.
However, just when everyone thought that the Zerg invasion was unstoppable, the Seventh Legion, which had been out of news for a long time, suddenly plunged into the battlefield like a sharp sword.
…
"Admiral, teams three and five have already encircled the area from both sides. This time, we'll definitely be able to extract the high-level Zerg from within..."
The adjutant looked at the battle situation and reported with secret excitement that as long as the higher-level Zerg, who served as the command brain among the Zerg, were eliminated, the remaining ones would become scattered soldiers and could be better dealt with.
Feng Chengyuan nodded seriously, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I hope it goes well."
After a moment of silence, Feng Chengyuan murmured something.
However, Feng Chengyuan's premonition came true.
Most of the main forces of the Zerg were surrounded by the Alliance Army, but a small group of Zerg with smaller size, faster speed and stronger strength were quietly separated, bypassing the blockade of the Alliance Army and heading straight for the Legion's main ship.
Yun Miao followed Feng Chengyuan back but did not go back to the capital star directly. Instead, he stayed on the main ship to soothe the spiritual seas of those soldiers whose spiritual seas were unstable due to the battle.
Since her bloodline awakening, Yun Miao felt that her mermaid talent had been greatly improved, and she was more adept at soothing her spiritual sea. So in just a few days, her name spread among the alliance army. Many soldiers whose spiritual seas collapsed due to long-term fighting survived the crisis with the help of Yun Miao's spiritual power.
"Take a break when you're tired, don't push yourself."
In the medical room, Yun Miao had just given spiritual comfort to a soldier whose spirit was on the verge of collapse when Feng Chengyuan came in front of her and wiped the sweat from her forehead with helplessness and heartache.
Feng Chengyuan was busy commanding battles every day, but he would still squeeze out some time to be with Yun Miao. However, the battle was not over yet, and even when the two hugged each other, the atmosphere was sweet yet heavy and depressing.
Yun Miao tilted her head slightly and looked at Feng Chengyuan's handsome face. She saw a hint of gray in his eyes and knew that he had not had a good rest for a long time.
"I will naturally rest when I'm tired. But you, even if the battle situation is critical, don't push yourself too hard."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Feng Chengyuan didn't want to make Yun Miao worry, so he smiled and rubbed her head, comforting her.
The two were enjoying a rare moment alone, but the sudden shrill alarm broke the warm atmosphere and made their hearts rise in an instant.
There is an enemy attack!
Feng Chengyuan made a judgment almost instantly, and his whole body suddenly tensed up. His originally gentle expression in front of Yun Miao became cold and serious.
There are usually frigates cruising around starships. If you can avoid the frigates and attack the main ship directly, it is obvious that the enemy is not a good person.
"Miaomiao, come with me."
Feng Chengyuan pulled Yun Miao away quickly and headed towards the control room.
He originally wanted to ask Yun Miao to stay in the medical room and not wander around, and then arrange someone to protect him, but he immediately suppressed the idea as soon as it came to his mind.
No one can protect her better than myself.
So it’s safest to stay by your own side.
As soon as I returned to the control room, my subordinates reported the situation.
"A swarm of insects is attacking the starship..."
Feng Chengyuan's expression was stern, and he gave the order in a deep voice: "Activate the enemy annihilation mode, and switch the protective energy field to attack."
"Admiral, this will completely expose the starship to the Zerg. Why not let the cruiser go first..."
"They were able to evade encirclement and attack directly here. Obviously, those Zerg that slipped through the net are not simple. The cruisers can't catch those Zerg."
"yes."
After Feng Chengyuan gave a brief explanation, his men immediately did as he was told without any hesitation.
Soon, the people in charge of monitoring reported the results. Those Zerg seemed to be more difficult to deal with than ordinary Zerg, and seemed to have undergone mutations. That was why they broke through the encirclement so easily and quietly approached the starship.
When Feng Chengyuan learned about this, his brows furrowed even more.
He smelled something unusual.
Yun Miao was also feeling restless. Her intuition told her that some danger was approaching...
