Upon hearing this, Su Jianhong, who had been blinded by anger, gradually calmed down and remained silent.
The people around him also very sensibly continued to ask Xu Le questions.
"Could you give a general description of this...actor's symptoms? Could it be a tactic employed by Ember?"
Xu Le was initially furious at being inexplicably scolded, but due to Su Jianhong's background, he suppressed his anger and recounted the abnormal behavior of the myriad races in detail.
When everyone in the command center heard the last part, their expressions changed drastically.
"A mutated fungus?!"
Su Jianhong also frowned.
If it really is a mutant fungus, then if they can seal off and capture this sample along with the embers of this base, it would be a fair balance of good and bad... and they wouldn't have to slink back in disgrace.
Moreover, they had already lingered here for too long, and Jiang Wang's appearance was a reminder that Black Snake had already noticed the situation in this area.
Given Lin Qingya's personality, he might have already told the Star Alliance that they wouldn't let this go so easily because of their overstepping of boundaries, and they might even be on their way now.
"Xu Le! You wait here and gather the Platinum-level members from all over. Let's go and explore the secrets beneath Iron Rock Star!"
Su Jianhong suddenly looked up and addressed the crowd.
And the others echoed their agreement.
In fact, everyone knew that with so many Platinum-level enemies, they could not only destroy the Embers' base, but they could even break into the Embers' lair.
Gathering everyone together is nothing more than declaring the mission a failure, and then seeing if they can squeeze out some benefits at the end.
Meanwhile, the Black Serpent members, having obtained the intelligence, all wore smiles again.
It's like choosing the path to hell when there's no way to go to heaven.
Jiang Wang never expected that the Shadow Guard ships, which had been so well concealed, would make such a decision because of a misjudgment about the nanobot swarm.
But all of this must be attributed to one person.
Xu Le.
Jiang Wang looked at Xu Le, who was hiding at the entrance of the cave, from inside the insect nest.
I don't know whether to say he was a responsible teammate or a terrible one.
You might call him a jerk, but he relentlessly attacked Jiang Wang along the way, constantly slashing and beating him. When he encountered a situation he couldn't handle, he would directly request instructions from the command center.
Even when all races descended upon Iron Rock Star, Xu Le was actively assassinating high-ranking commanders of the Star Alliance. If it weren't for the Zerg, the outcome of the battle between the two sides would still be uncertain.
It can be said that Xu Le is conscientious and responsible, has his own judgment, and is ruthless and decisive in his actions.
But you could say he's not a rip-off.
Now, almost all the shadow guards are going to be sentenced to death.
The Black Serpents are currently discussing whether to use their numerical advantage to assassinate a few of the Platinum-level targets they had originally identified, and then mark the locations of the rest to deal with them together when Starmark arrives.
But such risks are too great.
After all, it's a Platinum-level ship. If any of the Shadow Guards has a hidden trump card or encounters an unexpected situation, and the huge battle fluctuations caused by not being killed immediately alert Su Jianhong and the others, Black Serpent might not be able to stop them, even with their latest command ship.
After much deliberation, the group finally abandoned the plan and decided to wait until Xinghen's brute force arrived before making any further decisions.
At this moment, a ship that had been silent in this star field began to fly towards Iron Rock Star.
Meanwhile, the platinum-level powerhouses hidden in various outposts slowly gathered towards Iron Rock Star.
Inside the insect hive, Jiang Wang felt no sense of impending doom, but instead began to examine the insectoids' gains from the various battlefields.
He was concerned about Black Snake's arrangements, but not particularly attentive to them.
After all, the plan has progressed to this point, and whether or not the Shadow Guards can be saved depends on the strength of Star Mark and Black Serpent.
He was ready to start picking up the scraps; even if the platinum was broken, it would still provide a lot of material for the insect hive.
Meanwhile, the masked man on the other side had already begun his withdrawal after the Shadow Guard relayed the news of the Zerg's appearance on the battlefield.
Because he had seen Jiang Wang in person, accompanied by Lin Qingya.
Even using the Seventh Prince's name, they couldn't get Jiang Wang from Lin Qingya, which is enough to show how much Lin Qingya values Jiang Wang.
You say Jiang Wang appeared in this star field alone? I don't believe it. Since the Zerg have appeared in this star field, there's a high probability that they're accompanied by a Platinum-level expert. Now that this star field is in such a mess, there's not a single piece of news that the Black Serpent is coming. Is this the quality a top-tier department should have?
As for Su Jianhong and the others?
The masked man sneered.
They were destined to become victims of this struggle. Some of these people may have noticed these details, but nearly 15 of them were Platinum-level Shadow Guards, and Su Jianhong was even Platinum Level 8!
With such combat power, they can practically roam freely throughout the entire Star Alliance, except for a very few isolated locations.
Their formidable strength has given them greater confidence.
To put it bluntly, even if they had considered the Black Serpent's movements and the Star Alliance's potential actions, they wouldn't have cared much. They didn't believe the Star Alliance and the Black Serpent would dare to fight them!
This is a common problem among conservatives: the arrogance and hubris of the old era!
After driving the spaceship a short distance, the masked man detached it and flew into deep space. Thanks to his years of experience in the Star Alliance, he wasn't worried about leaving this star system. What he was thinking about more was how to explain this to the Shadow Guard afterward.
After much deliberation, he dialed the command ship and briefly explained all his guesses.
There are some things that you know, and they know too, but when you change your tone and the way you narrate, the other person will get annoyed, especially the conservatives who look down on the new generation.
Su Jianhong first thanked the masked man, then declined his offer of help.
He added that if the masked man was afraid, he could leave on his own.
The masked man nearly burst out laughing when he heard that.
But he couldn't show it yet, so he could only pretend to be furious and cut off the contact, then prepare to leave this star system.
Suddenly, a slight energy fluctuation came from ahead, and the quick-witted masked man immediately held his breath and hid.
After a long while, just when the masked man thought it was an illusion, he saw several people dressed in combat suits swiftly streak across the vast universe.
The masked man didn't even look at them, after all, if someone with an innate and accurate sense of perception had spotted him.
He was even more wronged than Su Jianhong.
Sensing the departure of the Starscar troops, the masked man did not feel much schadenfreude, but rather sighed.
If there were no partisan strife, no struggle for the throne...
Why worry about not being able to suppress the Star Alliance? Why worry about not being able to annihilate all races!
