The Light Chaser fleet had essentially annihilated all the enemy space forces invading the solar system, and various defensive fortifications were rapidly constructed under the leadership of the "Great Whale," including space mines, mobile warp blockers, drone swarms, and automated anti-aircraft turret formations.
The planetary mobile fortress "Star of Hope", the Oil Man's "Mechanical Ark" and the space hive "Phalanx" are all too massive. In order to prevent their gravity from affecting the Earth, they were moved to a position near Jupiter, preparing to serve as a solid line of defense there.
Now, only the beta on Earth remains to be dealt with.
Before ending the talks with the Earth Defense Force, Chang Wei also reached a lot of consensus with them and promised to provide them with a lot of military assistance and a certain amount of technological reinforcements.
At the same time, Chang Wei did not forget the system's mission and asked them about the whereabouts of those escaped Western senior officials.
Chang Wei felt extreme contempt for those Western high-ranking officials who had fled. They had abandoned their own people and homes, forsaking the honor and dignity of mankind, and embarked on an unknown journey of wandering the universe.
In this way...will you be able to live better?
Never mind, we can't be too harsh on them. This is human nature, a survival instinct etched into our genes! Unless we have lofty ideals and ideological awareness to support us, the average human being truly lacks the strength to resist this instinctive drive.
In ancient primitive tribal times, seeking benefits and avoiding harm was a gene inherited by humans. Without this gene, humans might have long since become extinct in that crisis-ridden era, and it would have been impossible for them to develop into civilization.
Thinking this way, it is understandable why Western leaders fled.
But understanding is one thing, but it is absolutely impossible for us and the countless humans who remain on Earth and fight bloody battles to agree with and forgive your act of escape!
As the saying goes, those with different ideologies cannot work together. Since you have chosen to escape, then don't come back! From now on, Earth no longer welcomes you!
Therefore, when Chang Wei asked about the relevant topic, the human side all showed expressions of shame and anger, and did not want the Light Chaser fleet to go and rescue the escaped human traitors.
Ultimately, though, reason triumphed over emotion, and they informed Chang Wei of their whereabouts. They also learned through observation that three months earlier, the Silicon Civilization's fleet had dispatched 100 warships in pursuit. Judging by the time, the fleeing group would likely be caught up soon.
Chang Wei immediately took action upon hearing this, ordering the Gorgon-class battlecruiser and the supercarrier Infinity to follow the Hyperion to the rescue.
Although Chang Wei hated the group of guys who ran away, he still chose to attack because of the system's almost free mission point rewards.
At worst, after rescuing them, we can just tell them to get lost, as far away as possible! Even without them, the Earth will still have a bright and beautiful future!
As for their future? Who will care about them? From now on, they will become a wandering starship civilization, struggling in the universe! This is their greatest punishment!
After greeting the human side, Chang Wei set off. Before leaving, he also ordered the "Griffin", "Moon-class Cruiser", and "Glorious Queen-class" battleships to assist the human side in clearing out the betas on Earth.
Don't you Astra Militarum and Astartes love killing xenos? Today we'll let you off the ship and kill as many as you want!
This arrangement is because many of the beta's nests are buried in the mountains and the earth's crust, making them difficult to clear even if bombed by a nuclear bomb.
They derive energy from consuming rocks, generating heavy nuclear fusion. This also grants Betas exceptional excavation and mining abilities, leaving the underground riddled with holes and creating an extremely complex terrain. If you're not careful, they can emerge from underground like guerrilla warfare, appearing in unexpected places at any moment.
As long as one is let go, it is very likely that it will rebuild a new nest somewhere else, which can be called an alien mining machine!
Therefore, after each large-scale bombing, humans had to send a large number of mobile troops forward, just like rabbits fighting monkeys, through the method of surrounding and carpet-clearing with nets, to completely dismantle and annihilate the nests one by one.
The risks and casualties associated with launching an attack in various narrow, dim underground caves can naturally be imagined.
However, now that the Light Chaser's troops are involved, this kind of thing will become much easier.
"Don't worry, sir! We will definitely crush those damn man-eating maggots!"
"The Astartes will stand with their mortal compatriots! Any aliens and heretics must die!"
"My chainsword is thirsty!"
"Bathed in the flames of war, forged in the anvil!"
Looking at the group of Astra Militarum and Astartes who were howling and shouting "Long Live the Emperor", Chang Wei's face was filled with black lines.
Is it really okay to still openly pledge your allegiance to the Emperor in front of your fleet commander? Aren't you my soldiers? And you all wear blue power armor, are Ultramarines, sons of Guilliman, so why are you spouting the Salamanders' slogan?
Such a low-level mistake! Cloud Hammer? The Fourth Calamity? They're teaming up to play tricks on me, right?
Chang Wei remained calm, too lazy to bother with these guys. Why think so much, it's just annoying.
Afterwards, Chang Wei sat on the bridge of the Hyperion, waved his hand, and gave orders to the three warships that were sent out to rescue.
