Chapter 455: Chapter 455: What is the Relationship Between Doris and Queen Gaia?
Su Wan sat in her chair and looked around, only to find that Pandora, who had just gotten married, was also frowning and looking very unhappy.
Confused, she asked, "What’s with all of you, looking as if you have deep grudges?"
Sheng An spoke up, "Xiaowan, do you know that the other starship fleets have gone on missions to eradicate the Insectoids?"
"Uh-huh," Su Wan realized, "I get it now. You’re all gloomy because you were left behind and can’t go fight the Insectoids yourselves. Seeing you like this, I feel a bit better."
The others were all speechless when they heard this.
Luo Jina said nonchalantly, "Seeing that none of you can go either, my heart feels even more balanced."
Although she said this to lighten the mood, Su Wan was still a bit worried about Gu Jue’s mission this time.
Without killing Lucifer and completely eradicating Doris and those Insectoids, one can never truly be at ease.
What’s most important is that Su Wan always felt that there was something strange about Doris’s existence. Is she really just an Insectoid?
What exactly is the relationship between Doris and Queen Gaia?
Thinking about it now is pointless—Su Wan’s priority is to recover her health, take care of official duties, and then go to the Imperial Palace every day to pick up Xiaochen.
From time to time, she would send messages to Gu Jue, of course only when he was not busy.
Because the distance was too great and they had encountered some obstacles from the Insectoids along the way, Su Wan’s heart was always hanging.
Finally, one day when Su Wan was taking Xiaochen home on the flyer, she suddenly thought of something.
Little Mushroom.
During that ambush by Doris and the others, Su Wan had planted the Little Mushroom on Lucifer’s mecha and it must have been taken away by them.
Ever since Little Mushroom appeared on Su Wan, she had always been in some contact with the other side.
But ever since Lucifer’s mecha took away Little Mushroom, she had not been able to make contact, despite several attempts by Su Wan.
If the coordinates Gu Jue and the others had were indeed the Insectoid base, then the place located by Little Mushroom should be the same place as Gu Jue’s coordinates!
Su Wan spread her hands and began trying to sense the presence of Little Mushroom.
But for some reason, it was as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea—there was no response for a long time. Su Wan started to think pessimistically that perhaps Little Mushroom had been discovered and then destroyed.
It was a significant possibility, and thinking about it made Su Wan feel a little heartbroken.
Little Gu Chen stretched out his little hand and took Su Wan’s big hand, saying, "Mommy, don’t worry, Daddy will definitely chase away those bad guys."
"Yeah."
"You must be happy lately because they say that if you are happy when you give birth to my sister, she will also be happy every day."
Children say the darndest things, but upon hearing her son’s words, Su Wan’s tense heart slowly relaxed.
She worked hard to adjust her state and mood and continued trying to contact Little Mushroom, but her daily life didn’t change much.
Until one day, after Su Wan had dropped Little Gu Chen off at the Imperial Palace and went to the military office as usual, the next moment, an alarm sounded.
"Someone is attacking the defense layer of the main star!"
Upon receiving the order, everyone armed themselves fully, boarded the flyer, and headed to the attack point. They immediately began exchanging fire.
The number of Insectoids was surprisingly large; they would fly out of their mechas and crash recklessly against the main star’s defense layer.
This defense layer, controlled by the main brain Bai Ze, had an S-class defense level. Moreover, with the resistance of the Interstellar Warriors, these Insectoids could not easily breach it.
Watching the Insect Beast corpses on the transparent defense layer, Su Wan quickly analyzed the purpose of this wave of Insectoid attacks, while hearing the effortless voices of Pandora and others come through.
"Are they planning to use eggs to smash against rocks? It’s an impossible attack to succeed. Their capabilities should be more than just this."
"Could it be that these damn bugs have all degenerated?"
"To be honest, green blood really disgusts people!"
Su Wan quietly watched for a while before saying, "No, they are actually here to make a sacrifice."
Pandora was startled. "Why make such a futile sacrifice?"
"It may not be futile. Perhaps it’s because our Universe Union Army has already started attacking the Insectoid base."
Sheng An said, "Is the enemy scared, so they’re acting like this?"
Su Wan nodded.
It seemed like a strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, but now it would depend on who could last until the end to achieve victory!
Since they had been well-prepared, when the planets of the Universe Alliance came under attack, they resisted and their anxieties converged.
Now it was different from the old days of the Universe Alliance, because the more outrageous the enemy’s actions, the more united the Alliance Army might become.
Everyone now knew that neither Insectoids nor Star Thieves were good people, and they could no longer be swayed by their provocations!
Meanwhile, Doris, sitting on the throne of the Insectoid base, had an extremely ugly expression. She asked her subordinate, "What’s the situation outside now?"
This was a butterfly Insectoid, with compound eyes and beautiful, colorful wings, but its body had the segmented legs of an insect, which were quite frightening to look at.
He said, "Queen, the firepower of the Alliance Army hasn’t decreased, and those planets have left people to guard their home planets and resisted our scattered attacks!"
"Then don’t scatter! Focus the firepower and only attack a single planet!"
"Which, which planet should we attack?"
Doris lifted her head, and although her features were gentle and calm, her eyes were fierce at the moment. "Attack the Empire Main Star!"
The Federal Empire had always been the backbone of the Universe Alliance. Only if they retreated would the other Allied Forces become not worth fearing.
No, the rest of the Alliance Army might also retreat!
"Yes!"
Two hours later, the Insectoid starships that had been harassing and attacking other planets received withdrawal orders. They all turned around and went to attack the Empire Main Star!
On this side, the team led by Gu Jue was approaching the Insectoid base—a planet that looked like Ancient Earth, currently unmarked, tentatively named X Planet.
However, this planet, said to resemble Ancient Earth, looked more like the later uninhabitable Ancient Earth, indicating that the planet’s resources and energy were no longer sufficient for the Insectoids. It’s no wonder they set their sights on Landis Star.
The reason Insectoids did not recklessly attack and seize Landis Star must be their fear of the secrets of Landis Star.
That’s why they had been attempting, time and again, to probe for secrets using various means.
Without clarity on the secrets of Landis Star, they dared not land rashly.
Meanwhile, at the Empire Main Star, Gu Zilan, who was stationed there, also knew now the attacks on the defense layer had suddenly intensified!
Agros said, "The enemy has dispatched additional Starship Fleets. I just received news that attacks on other planets of the Universe Alliance have stopped."
Zilan said, "The Insectoids plan to concentrate their forces against us first! What’s our current defensive capability?"
Bai Ze said, "According to the current firepower of the enemy, the protective layer can still withstand their attack for over ten hours."
Zilan said, "Ten hours..."
