North Wind Star Sector
On the tenth day of the Zerg disaster, although the North Wind Star Sector was still under attack by the Zerg disaster, the initial chaos, panic, and terror had largely been brought under control.
Most of the chaos has now been contained.
“As of now, in the past 24 hours, no new Cosmic Insectoid Hives have appeared, and all previous Cosmic Insectoid Hives have disappeared.
Interstellar Insectoids research experts are closely monitoring the spatial fluctuations in the North Wind Star Sector.
According to the expert team's prediction, the reason for this concentrated appearance of Cosmic Insectoid Hives is still unknown, but it should have ended, and no new Cosmic Insectoid Hives will appear.” An adjutant was reporting the current situation to North Wind Governor.
North Wind Governor asked, “What is the current situation?”
“Currently, our North Wind Star Sector has successively mobilized over ten thousand Lord Fleets, as well as three thousand Interstellar Warship from the North Wind Interstellar Legion, to participate in this rescue operation.
At the same time, the Empire Army 12th Legion, 19th Legion, and 22nd Legion, with nearly ten thousand Imperial Army Interstellar Warship, have fully entered the affected Galaxies in the North Wind Star Sector.
After ten days of emergency handling, the chaos has been brought under control.
The situation in the affected Galaxies can be mainly divided into three levels.” The adjutant brought up the entire star map of the North Wind Star Sector.
Many Galaxies on the star map were divided into four colors.
The most common color was white, representing no Zerg attacks.
Next was green, which represented areas where Cosmic Insectoid Hives had appeared but were now under control, with only a small number of Zerg remaining.
After that was yellow, representing areas where a certain number of Bug Nest Fleets still existed, and some planets might still be under threat or invaded.
Among these, the least common was the red area, with two Galaxies marked in red.
The red area meant the presence of a Bug Nest Fleet led by T3 Zerg Hive Motherships, with the number of Bug Nest Fleets exceeding one thousand, and multiple inhabited planets being invaded and occupied.
“The two Galaxies in the red area have been assigned to the Empire Army 12th Legion and the 22nd Legion, respectively. Currently, the Bug Nest Fleets are confined within one area.
A half-month-long extermination operation is underway,” the adjutant said.
“What about the planets in those two areas?” North Wind Governor frowned.
The adjutant replied, “Those planets... can only be abandoned.”
North Wind Governor sighed deeply. He knew this was the best course of action. Ten days... most of the civilians on those planets who hadn't been evacuated had already become food for the Zerg.
“Have we estimated our losses so far?” North Wind Governor rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“To date, this disaster has resulted in the direct deaths of nearly 20 billion people and the migration of over 50 billion people.
At the same time, over 100,000 civilian auxiliary Interstellar Transport Ships of various levels have been lost, and over 5,000 combat Interstellar Warship have been lost in battles with the Zerg.
This includes thirteen T3-class Interstellar Warships and nearly five hundred T2-class Interstellar Warship.
The estimated number of combat personnel killed is around 800,000...” The adjutant reported a series of figures.
North Wind Governor clutched his heart. This disaster had truly caused immense losses to the North Wind Star Sector, equivalent to setting back the North Wind Star Sector's overall strength by a decade!
After all, such a widespread sudden appearance of Cosmic Insectoid Hives within a single Star Region was extremely rare even within the Galactic Alliance!
This was even with North Wind Governor's timely handling; otherwise, it wouldn't just be those few Galaxies that fell, but potentially the entire Star Region, with trillions of civilians sacrificed!
“Also... a newly received piece of news... you might find it quite interesting.” The adjutant suddenly remembered a report he had just received.
“What?” North Wind Governor asked.
The adjutant brought up a piece of intelligence: “It's about the Sapphire Star System.
Originally, the threat level of the Sapphire Star System was also within the red zone.
However, within just one week, over 50% of the Zerg Hive Motherships in the Sapphire Star System were annihilated, and 1.5 billion people were successfully and safely evacuated from the Third Planet, which constitutes its main population!
Nearly 500 million people were also successfully evacuated from other planets.
The remaining Bug Nest Fleet in that Star System is basically under our control, and its annihilation is only a matter of time.”
“Which Imperial Army Fleet did it?” North Wind Governor asked with interest.
“It wasn't an Imperial Army Fleet, it was the Xiaolong Fleet from the Owl Dragon Star!” The adjutant's expression was somewhat odd as he said this.
“Xiaolong Fleet?” North Wind Governor heard the name and thought of his talented grandson-in-law, whom he had met once.
He knew that the Xiaolong Fleet had also proactively come to assist this time, but due to his busy schedule, he hadn't had time to attend to his grandson-in-law.
He hadn't expected such a significant ‘surprise’ in such a short time.
“So, he single-handedly resolved a Star System's crisis with the strength of his own fleet! Directly rescuing nearly two billion people!” North Wind Governor exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes.”
“How many Starships does he have?”
“Over a hundred, less than one hundred and fifty combat Interstellar Warship. But there are nearly thirty T3 Interstellar Warships, and it's rumored that there's also a T3 heavy carrier starship with a golden ‘Chu’ family emblem,” the adjutant replied.
North Wind Governor frowned: “That doesn't seem right. Although he has combat Interstellar Warship, to evacuate nearly two billion people, where did he get so many Interstellar Transport Ships?
The Chu family's T3 medium Aircraft Carrier Starship? Why haven't I heard that old man developed such an Aircraft Carrier Starship...”
The adjutant's expression grew even stranger when this was mentioned.
He said, “Actually, there's another small matter related to this.
During this period, one Earl, five Viscounts, twenty-two Barons, hundreds of noble individuals, and even generals from the Imperial Army impeached Owl Dragon Lord Zhao Chen.
But because you were very busy before, I temporarily suppressed it and didn't report it to you.”
“Impeach Zhao Chen? Why? According to the actions you just mentioned, he's a great hero of the North Wind Star Sector this time!” North Wind Governor was surprised.
“Didn't you just ask where Owl Dragon Lord got so many Interstellar Transport Ships?” The adjutant said with a strange expression, “Guess how he got them?”
North Wind Governor connected the two matters and immediately understood: “Could it be that this kid snatched them?”
The adjutant nodded and said with a wry smile, “Yes, before, he arranged for Zhao Chen's T3 Blizzard under his command to hunt T3 Zerg Hive Motherships in the Zerg battlefields of various Galaxies.
Afterward, when these Zhao Chen's T3 Blizzard returned to rendezvous with the Xiaolong Fleet, they ‘conveniently’ ‘borrowed’ a batch of Interstellar Transport Ships.
There are even videos and recordings taken by the people involved.
Zhao Chen's Interstellar Warship even directly bombarded and threatened Starfleets that refused to cooperate.
According to statistics, at least six Interstellar Transport Ships were attacked and destroyed by Zhao Chen's T3 Blizzard; according to the reports of the people involved, over a thousand people died... but this data is not credible. Based on video evidence,
Zhao Chen's T3 Blizzard issued a warning after the attack, and the attacked ship's location was not a compartment with personnel, so the number of casualties would not exceed fifty, or even fewer.”
“This kid has guts...” North Wind Governor cursed with a laugh.
But the adjutant could tell from North Wind Governor's tone that he had no intention of blaming him.
