Upon hearing that silicon-based life had caused another major incident, Roderick and Han Ling simultaneously rubbed their temples.
This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.
Roderick, his face full of worry, asked with concern:
"What's wrong with the silicon-based life forms? Aren't they also on the capital planet?"
I haven't noticed anything unusual about the capital planet lately.
It has been three days since Han Ling and Roderick arrived on the capital planet.
If silicon-based life forms really did create such a large-scale event, they would have discovered it immediately.
Moreover, Han Ling's mental tendrils have already spread to the central urban area of the entire capital planet.
Han Ling could detect even the slightest disturbance.
Marshal Ruda of the Third Protective Legion explained with shame:
"It's not that something happened on the capital planet, but that there's a problem at the edge of the star field. Our female insects have been kidnapped."
Two weeks ago, Silicon-based life sent 20 warships of the War Fortress class to come and exchange ideas and cooperate.
This military force is already a threat, and the Zerg will not allow them to enter their star system.
Therefore, we halted silicon-based life at the edge of the Zerg's galaxy.
Only one person in charge of silicon-based life accompanied us to the capital planet.
To ensure safety, we also left one hostage on the silicon-based life form's warship.
There is a clear rule in interstellar warfare that envoys should not be killed during negotiations between two parties.
The envoy's safety is absolutely guaranteed.
If the envoy is killed, then if the two sides fight, they have the right to slaughter the other's entire planet and will not spare any living creature.
Therefore, both sides were at ease regarding the exchange of hostages.
The person in charge of silicon-based life also swaggered over to the capital planet alone.
After hearing Marshal Ruda's words, Roderick's face darkened.
The technology of cosmic civilizations currently all originates from the Science and Technology City.
Therefore, the classification of warships is basically the same throughout the universe.
Starships are currently divided into six classes.
Level 1 is the weakest, and Level 6 is the strongest.
Among them, the strongest Tier VI warship is the current flagship of the eight legions—the Cosmic-class warship.
Tier 5 warships are equivalent to war fortresses.
It's definitely not normal for silicon-based life forms to send 20 war fortresses at once!
Han Ling, standing to the side, frowned and asked:
"The edge of the star field? Roderick and I just came from the edge of the star field."
Most of the First Exploration Legion's bases are located near the edge of star systems. With the First Exploration Legion present, it's impossible for silicon-based life forms to have any chance of winning!
The First Exploration Legion is the guardian of the Zerg star system.
As long as the First Exploration Legion has even a single soldier left, it will not allow the enemy to cross the Zerg star system's defenses.
Roderick nodded:
"Lord Han Ling is right. With the First Exploration Legion here, how could our female insects be kidnapped?"
An interstellar war resolved in three days—that's an incredible speed.
Marshal Lu Da explained with a livid face:
"The key point is that the two sides did not fight. And our female insects simply disappeared into thin air."
Han Ling frowned in confusion and asked in a deep voice:
"Could you explain what happened in detail?"
Marshal Ruda took a deep breath and explained:
"The story begins yesterday."
Yesterday afternoon, after leaving the cutting-edge laboratory, we obtained the method to drive away aurora life.
Subsequently, the Seventh Construction Legion began selecting winged female insects to form a flight squadron.
When they were counting the number of people, they discovered that more than 3,000 female Coleoptera had become unreachable.
Originally, Marshal Shak, the commander of the Seventh Construction Corps, strangely thought that those female insects were deserters.
But as they investigated further, they discovered that the female insects had disappeared three days earlier.
Subsequently, the Seventh Construction Corps located the female insects.
Immediately afterwards, Marshal Shak told me the location and asked me to send someone to investigate the truth of the matter.
But I discovered that the female soldiers of the Third Protection Legion stationed on that planet had also gone missing.
At this point, Marshal Lu Da sighed and continued dejectedly:
"That planet is a prison planet."
According to the probe data just received, statistics show that all five prison planets have become empty shells.
We lost a total of 6.78 million females.
Of these, 6.77 million are prisoners.
The remaining 10,000 were partly females from the Third Protection Legion and partly females from the Seventh Construction Legion.
What? 6.78 million female insects?
so much!
The number of missing persons is a full 10 times that of the Aurora Life Incident!
When Roderick heard the number, he almost fainted.
He asked incredulously:
"After that was discovered, did you take any remedial measures?"
Did the female insects of the First Exploration Legion chase after them?
Stop those Fortress-class warships!
Marshal Lu Da, his face ashen, lowered his head and said:
"They've already sent people to chase us, but we can't find any trace of the enemy."
The fleet of silicon-based life could not be found within searchable range; they have escaped 1,000 light-years away.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling couldn't help but clench his fists.
There are people he knows on the prison planet!
Mingzhe, Mingzhi, and Mingli, these three female insects are still serving on the prison planet!
Beside him, Roderick took a deep breath to calm himself, and then said:
"Immediately order the four war legions to proceed to the edge of the star field and intercept the warships of silicon-based lifeforms!"
Although they are criminals, they are also members of my Zerg race, and we can never let this go!
Upon hearing this, Han Ling looked at Roderick and said with annoyance:
"I mentioned to you before that three female insects kidnapped me, do you remember?"
Later, they sacrificed their lives to save me. They are from the Butterfly Clan and are currently serving their sentences in prison.
As far as I know, the majority of creatures in the interstellar prison are female Butterfly Clan insects!
Everyone knows about the metamorphosis process of the butterfly race.
Hearing Han Ling's words, Marshal Lu Da felt even more guilty.
On the prison planet, the Butterfly race are like blank slates, uneducated laborers who have been cheated, and cannot be considered criminals at all.
Roderick rubbed his temples and sighed:
"Of course I remember. Most of the Butterfly Clan are currently in interstellar prisons, and we must rescue them."
"Marshal Lu Da, give the order: have the four war legions and the first exploration legion act simultaneously."
However, before Marshal Lu Da could answer, a huge hissing sound came from the sky.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The sound was extremely penetrating; the piercing howls rang out from all directions, making listeners feel panicked and anxious.
Upon hearing this voice, Han Ling's eyes rolled back, she leaned back, and fainted.
Fortunately, Roderick was there to support him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
After Han Ling regained his footing, his face turned pale, and without thinking, he said:
"It's an interstellar beast!"
The voice of the interstellar beast is specifically designed to suppress mental power.
The interstellar beasts come from the dark side of the universe.
The spiritual dimension exists in another dimension of the universe.
It's difficult to say what the relationship is between these two planes.
But one thing is clear: the interstellar beasts and Han Ling are like mortal enemies.
Whenever Han Ling hears this voice, he can immediately recall the pain of having his memories awakened on the garbage planet.
The roars of interstellar beasts are an absolute counter to mental power.
Based on his instincts, Han Ling recognized the voice as that of an interstellar beast.
The female insects, on the other hand, distinguish them based on their combat experience.
Upon hearing this sound, the female insects on the training ground, regardless of their state, immediately released their psychic insect armor, stood up, summoned their own kind's weapon, and looked up at the sky.
Cracks appeared in the once azure sky, like circles, enveloping the entire world.
Marshal Lu Da also summoned his psychic insect armor, explaining with a dark expression:
"We used the Space Blade when dealing with the aurora life."
The consequence of using the spatial blade is that it will sever spacetime.
After each war, alien beasts emerge from the spacetime rifts.
A fierce battle is about to erupt on the capital planet, and the four war legions are too busy to support the First Exploration Legion.
Currently, there are four major war legions and a third protective legion on the entire capital planet.
It's only a matter of time before the five legions deal with the interstellar beasts; there won't even be any casualties.
However, the key to catching up with silicon-based life is time!
When it rains, it pours; that's the current state of the Zerg.
Roderick, his face grim, activated his telekinetic insect armor. He put his arm around Han Ling, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and said:
"I will first send Lord Han Ling to the protective space of the Third Protective Legion headquarters."
First, organize your forces and assemble them. We need to eliminate the interstellar beasts as soon as possible!
Notify Emperor Planet to send personnel to assist the First Exploration Legion in capturing silicon-based life!
After saying that, Roderick's figure quickly disappeared.
Because there are too many gaps torn by the spatial blades, the capital planet is likely to be facing a high-level beast tide of level 8 to 10 this time.
It takes one to two days for the interstellar beasts to gather.
Then, an overwhelming horde of monsters descended from the universe and attacked the capital planet.
From start to finish, it will take at least 10 days.
They simply didn't have the time to deal with the matter of silicon-based life forms; they had to leave it to others.
A moment later.
Roderick brought Han Ling to the headquarters of the Third Protective Legion.
The spacious hall on the third floor was completely empty.
Roderick pressed a few times against the blank wall.
Suddenly, a passage appeared in the wall.
The passageway connects to the first basement level of the Protectorate.
This is also called a protective space, specifically used for refuge.
This place was once a refuge exclusively for interstellar males; every planet's Third Protection Legion building contained such a secret chamber.
However, since the number of male insects decreased, the protective space has never been opened or used again.
Now, when Roderick landed on the ground, he saw that the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust.
He took off his shirt and spread it on the ground.
Then he put Han Ling up there and asked with concern:
"Sir, how are you feeling now?"
Han Ling shook his head. His lips were pale, his head was throbbing, and his jaw was clenching and unclenching, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He was in very poor condition.
However, at this very moment...
The system, which had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly appeared in Han Ling's mind.
[Host, are you there? Can you hear me?]
Currently, many members of the Yao Clan have gathered above the capital star, wishing to communicate with you. Please immediately delve into the mental dimension to engage in dialogue.
The system has been busy building a link between the two universes lately and hasn't appeared for a long time.
Upon hearing the system's words, Han Ling was somewhat surprised, and even his headache lessened a little.
Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he had a sudden realization.
That's right! He can ask the Yao Clan for help!
Han Ling quickly looked at Roderick, grabbed his clothes, and said painfully:
“Roderick, the Yao Clan wants to speak with me. Wait a few minutes, perhaps I have a way to retrieve the female insects from the prison planet.”
Roderick massaged Han Ling's head to relax the acupoints, then frowned and asked:
"What method? You don't need to be stubborn. No matter how tough silicon-based life forms are, they can't defeat our Zerg in single combat."
Han Ling's headache had eased slightly, and she explained:
"The Yao Clan is now asleep in the river of time."
In the long river of time, there is no geographical span, no concept of distance; wanting to go somewhere is just a matter of a moment.
"Perhaps I can get them to help locate the female insect. I need to go to the mental plane to communicate with them now. Wait here for me for a few minutes."
After saying this, Han Ling rolled his eyes and completely immersed himself in the mental dimension.
————————————
Upon entering the mental dimension, the physical pain disappeared.
For the first time, Han Ling experienced what it meant to be painless and carefree.
Just then, an exasperated voice rang out from above, accusing:
"My female insect was molested, molested by something with barbs on its butt!"
Upon hearing the sound, Han Ling immediately turned her attention to her surroundings.
The spiritual dimension has undergone a complete transformation.
In reality, the release of spatial blades has also affected the spiritual dimension.
The pale space was filled with circular, dark green cracks, and the capital star at the center of the cracks looked like it was about to collapse.
Countless members of the Yao Clan extended their jet-black spiritual energy tendrils from the dark green spatial rift.
It presented an extremely terrifying scene.
Black tentacles coiled and swirled in mid-air before falling onto the surface of the entire capital planet.
The spiritual power of the Yao Clan is like a giant sea monster—terrifying, mysterious, and sticky.
However, this is what the strongest mental power looks like.
Han Ling's enormous spiritual energy tendrils, winding like black streams, firmly anchored on the surface of the capital star.
He looked up and asked:
"Who was speaking just now? What do they want?"
The exasperated voice spoke again:
"My female insect was molested by a guy with barbs on his butt! Let's go kill that bastard together! Can I just kill him directly?"
Hangnails on the buttocks?
Han Ling was taken aback, her eyes filled with doubt.
At this moment, another voice came, explaining in a calm tone:
"He was referring to silicon-based life forms, which have a very special physical structure due to the elements in their bodies."
All their mucous membranes are covered with sharp barbs, sharper than swords.
Therefore, for silicon-based life forms, mating is more painful than killing them.
Therefore, their favorite thing to do is to molest other interstellar races.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling's face darkened. He thought of the Zerg who had been abducted by silicon-based life forms.
Han Ling pressed further, "Do you know anything about silicon-based life? What other information do you have?"
The calm voice chuckled and said:
"I don't know much about it, but I do know that silicon-based life forms, no matter which universe they are in, are the largest human trafficking group in the entire universe."
To avoid physical harm, they would abduct large numbers of people from all over the stars.
Then they were put on the slave market for trading.
