The previously 'peaceful' atmosphere of the Starry Empire was quickly shattered by this sudden battle.
No one expected that such a fierce battle would suddenly break out in the Blue Crystal Galaxy of the Azure Star Region.
Especially the 'trump card' that Qin Xiaotian used in this operation.
This caused a stir among the upper echelons of the Starry Empire.
When the battle in the Blue Crystal Galaxy ended, the mechanical insectoid fleet did not conceal its whereabouts, but instead brazenly sailed in the area of the Azure Starfield that was still under Qin Xiaotian's control.
A spectacular scene of nearly 50,000 Zerg motherships, plus their accompanying swarms.
Whether at someone's behest or acting on their own initiative, many interstellar media outlets risked getting close to the images of these Zerg fleets, and these footage quickly spread throughout the Star Empire.
Ultimately, these Zerg fleets were divided into several groups and stationed on several strategically important planets. The garrisons on these planets were ordered to withdraw completely, and the planets were handed over to the Zerg fleets.
Throughout the entire process, these Zerg fleets behaved as obediently as Qin Xiaotian's own backyard pet dogs, without attacking any planets or interstellar warships.
Imperial Capital Star
"Looks like our publicity efforts are quite effective." Qin Xiaotian said, looking at the discussions about this matter on the interstellar network.
Basically, half of the top eleven trending topics were about the Zerg fleet, and the rest were reports about the battle in the Blue Crystal System.
The reports on the Blue Crystal Galaxy campaign are basically presented in two styles.
One possibility is that both sides are locked in a fierce battle and suffer losses, with the Imperial Princess Fleet suffering the greatest losses.
Another perspective leans towards the view that Qin Xiaotian's Zerg fleet held the advantage, destroying a large number of Xiaolong Legion interstellar warships and attacking the Xiaolong system, causing huge losses to the system, and so on.
Almost everything about the Xiaolong Galaxy is just the author's own speculation and conjecture, because the Xiaolong Galaxy has been a very mysterious place in recent years. There are usually some adventurers who try to enter it, but most of them end up being charged with illegal entry and then given a few years of mining training.
"Your Majesty, as per your request, the propaganda surrounding our Zerg fleet is now all positive, so that the public can accept the existence of the Zerg fleet."
"The current results are quite good," Marshal Qin Longcheng reported to Qin Xiaotian.
Qin Longcheng used to be Qin Xiaotian's spy planted in Qin Ming's camp. Now that the mission is over, Qin Longcheng has naturally become Qin Xiaotian's right-hand man.
"Very good. In the future, as we conquer all directions, the Zerg fleet will be an indispensable force for us."
I know that many people will come forward to question the Zerg fleet and even criticize my practice of keeping the Zerg at bay.
"Longcheng, you should know what to do." Qin Xiaotian squinted at Qin Longcheng. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Qin Longcheng nodded: "Understood."
"Alright, you can go now."
After Qin Longcheng left, a video window appeared in front of Qin Xiaotian.
"Doctor, how's the situation on your end? Is our Insect King No. 1 badly damaged?" Qin Xiaotian asked with concern.
The doctor's image appeared before my eyes, and his mechanical voice sounded again: "A large wound has appeared on the body of Insect King No. 1. Because it is a corpse, its original self-repair ability has been basically lost, so it is difficult for it to repair itself."
I will try to find other ways to repair these wounds and restore the combat power of Insect King No. 1 as much as possible.
Furthermore, the Zerg fleet requires... a large amount of battlefield supplies; the battlefield supplies you've arranged on those base planets are only enough to sustain the Zerg fleet... for half a month.
Qin Xiaotian frowned slightly. The Zerg fleet was good in every way, but its 'battlefield supply' was a major problem.
"I understand. I will try to transfer some more 'battlefield supplies' within a week."
But remember, this matter cannot be exposed, otherwise the image of the Zerg fleet that I've painstakingly created will be ruined.
"Rest assured, I have deployed many patrolling Zerg motherships around the planet we are stationed on, ensuring that no one will know what is happening here. After all, no one is better at 'cleaning' than the Zerg. Even after we leave, nothing will be left here," the Doctor assured him confidently.
"I understand. Let's leave it at that for now. I have a lot to take care of here. I expect Chu Changhe and Zhao Chen will make some moves. You need to be ready for battle at any time."
"You need to prepare more of those worms that can create wormholes. These strategic weapons are very important!" Qin Xiaotian instructed.
The success of this military operation is largely due to these insects; otherwise, it would have been impossible to launch such a surprise attack on the Blue Crystal Galaxy and the Dragon Galaxy.
Unfortunately, these insects are rare, and there is a risk of death after each wormhole is created. Even if they survive, it takes about a month before they can create another wormhole.
Furthermore, this wormhole can only accommodate Zerg units; his own starships cannot use it.
Otherwise, with this military operation, and their hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships, they might actually be able to crush that guy Zhao Chen.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Communication ended.
The doctor turned around and looked at the planet behind him, which had been transformed into a habitable habitat for the Zerg swarm in just a few days.
In addition, interstellar transport ships towing this old cargo hold continued to land on the planet.
As the interstellar transport ships departed, the old cargo holds slowly opened, revealing a scene that would absolutely terrify anyone who saw them.
Those were cages, and each cage was piled high with corpses!
There were animal carcasses and human carcasses.
If you have a sense of smell, you could probably smell the fishy stench from a great distance.
But this smell is a delicacy to the insect swarm here.
This... is what the doctor just mentioned as 'battlefield supplies'.
...
On a certain planet in the Dragon Galaxy
Zhao Chen hovered above the city in the shuttle, looking down at the city that had just experienced war. Many areas of the city were piled with the corpses of the insect swarm.
"My lord, this is the most severely damaged planet among the planets attacked in our Xiaolong Galaxy this time."
"More than 700 combat personnel were killed, more than 30,000 civilians were killed, and 300 T2 Black Knights were lost..." Acting Governor Jiang Hong reported the losses of this defensive battle to Zhao Chen.
"Including other planets, in this defensive battle, we lost nearly 10,000 combat personnel, 1.5 million civilians, and 6,000 T2 Black Knights." Jiang Hong said, then looked at Zhao Chen.
She noticed the anger hidden in Zhao Chen's eyes, as if he were a wrathful Yama about to unleash his fury.
Jiang Hong hurriedly said, "The losses are already negligible. After all, compared to the current population of over two billion in the Xiaolong Galaxy, the other side still has 30,000 Zerg motherships, even if they are just swarms of Zerg."
However, the losses are already quite significant, with most of the civilian casualties being caused by those who ignored warnings and failed to evacuate to shelters in time.
In other star systems, this would probably be a living hell.
"I don't mean to blame you; you've done a great job."
Those who sacrificed their lives in this defensive battle received compensation in accordance with regulations, and those who performed outstandingly were also commended.
Those whose homes have been damaged should be promptly provided with alternative accommodation to ensure their basic living needs are met.
After saying this, Zhao Chen said with a sharp look in his eyes, "If our own home is attacked, even if it's just a few broken windows, it shows that we are not strong enough."
This kind of thing must never happen again.
I will never allow anyone to act recklessly in our homeland.
Qin Xiaotian will pay the price!
