Him and their stars.

Chapter 1916: Xia Li also wants to live towards death?

Twenty minutes later, the last twelve thousand soldiers of the commerce-breaking fleet boarded seven green-skinned Earth warships, took away all available supplies, weapons and ammunition, and left the "Bazan City" which they had operated for almost half a year, and sailed to the other side of the galaxy with the determination to die.

What Deng Zhengqing and his comrades didn't know was that in the same galaxy, behind the brown-yellow desert planet in the fourth orbit, a nest ship the same size as a cruiser was silently watching their actions.

The Overlord, who shared the vision with the Hive Ship, watched as these human warships disappeared into the dust of the Diamond Nebula. Its remaining sensory tentacles penetrated deep into the cavity of the Hive Ship, vibrating at a high frequency.

At almost the same moment, in a galaxy more than 200 light years away from here, another even larger Leviathan nest ship began to vibrate at the same frequency.

The Overlord stood up inside the Nest Ship, feeling the high-frequency vibrations that were completely incapable of being captured by human hearing, and quickly pieced together complete intelligence in his brain.

"...Really? The Earth fleet was dispatched as well? You saw it with your own eyes, right?"

"Only seven ships left? When we first encountered them, there were still ten. Can these remnants defeat a heavy cruiser?"

"Moreover, they didn't even try to conceal their own transition fluctuations. Isn't this deliberately showing off their existence? I understand. They did this on purpose. I am also learning the art of war now."

"They are committing suicide. But why would they do that? I am speaking to myself and do not need your opinion. Cover? What cover? Cover for the Rebels? Cover for me?"

"I see. You can also move to the TR-17 system. There is an icy Earth-like planet there. There may be tundra and fungi under the ice where you can hide. It's up to you from now on."

In fact, the desert planet of the overlord is also a large-scale earth-like planet, with a large amount of liquid water and fungal organisms developed. For the Zerg, it is already a planet that can develop itself.

However, if the Earthlings' base really exploded, more Imperial troops would surely swarm in, and that would not be a very pleasant scene.

After completing the communication with her lords, Xia Li sighed rather melancholy. Although theoretically she no longer had a trachea, she still couldn't help but express her emotions using human habits.

In her subconscious, this is the biggest anchor that allows her to maintain her inner order and balance.

She gazed through the armored ramparts of the nest ship at the interstellar dust of the Diamond Nebula. These magnificent wonders were like solidified blood scabs.

As a master, Xia Li could of course "taste" the remaining fear pheromones in the universe almost without delay through the nodes of the Zerg mental network - three hours ago, the last lord she left in the Sumoe star zone and the legion under his command had been completely evaporated into atomic dust by the whistling ion torrent.

However, this was only the lightest loss he had suffered in the past week.

Most of the Hive Fleet she had managed to build up had been destroyed, and some had even been captured. Now, this was the only "battleship" left.

At this moment, the only flagship Leviathan mother nest was hiding in an asteroid belt in the Diamond Nebula. It spewed acid, corroding the metal veins in the asteroid belt, trying to repair the calcified armor to a size sufficient to support subsequent long-distance jumps. Of course, aside from the fact that this hive flagship had expanded to the size of an aircraft carrier and its ferocious and majestic appearance, this scene really looked like a small animal eating.

However, if given enough time to develop, it can actually grow into a Titan.

No, it's even much bigger than the Titan!

Seeing this scene, Xia Li felt like crying. She really felt like an incompetent single mother, homeless and penniless, who could only get one or two oil-free steamed buns to feed her children.

She had begun to regret whether she had stayed in this nebula for too long, giving the Imperial Army the opportunity to encircle and suppress her.

In fact, the half year she spent in the Diamond Nebula was almost the happiest time she had since she woke up. In this nebula located on the border of the Empire, she continued to pursue the final secret of power, and occasionally cooperated with the remnants of the Earthlings and the rebels to deal a considerable blow to the Empire.

She had never met directly with the rebels or the top leaders of the Earthlings. Everyone tacitly kept a certain distance, but they actually had a certain sense of tacit understanding.

Perhaps this is the feeling of finally having a comrade-in-arms?

After all, humans are social animals and need social recognition. Although Xia Li is really no longer a human being, she does enjoy the process of fighting side by side and enjoys the title of "Goddess of Victory" given by the rebel soldiers.

However, this should have been a dreamlike happy time, but it always ended very quickly.

It's a pity that although I have found out the news about the fat man, I can't save myself now. On the other hand, even if she didn't encounter the encirclement of the imperial army, she didn't know how to save him.

Anyway, since the fat guy admires his superior so much, how about letting him go to rescue him? Isn't he here?

Yes, he has come...here he comes. Here he comes!

Yes, that evil star is coming! Not only is it coming, it’s almost finding me.

This is unscientific! In terms of the degree of attention, this Earth talent should be the biggest enemy of the Empire, right? Didn't the Empire set up a dragnet in Yunta and Jijiang? How did he get in again?

Besides, how did he get here?

Xia Li was not sure whether this evil star with a snake-like head was coming for the empire or for herself, but she just wanted to cover her head and shrink back into the depths of the insect nest.

However, at this moment, she received an alarm from the neighboring galaxy.

"The Imperial fleet is entering this system, speed 7." The vibrations transmitted through the worker bee's information glands made the gaps in Charlie's shell emit a warning fluorescence.

As a master with a great talent for stealth, she had of course already set up guards along her way.

A group of worker bees and tower bugs hid on the asteroid and turned into a guard post across the galaxy.

Of course, Xia Li no longer cared about squatting with her head in her hands. The trembling of the information glands formed a holographic projection in her brain that only she could see.

She clearly saw the silver-white hulls of the two new battlecruisers piercing the nebula, and the main gun arrays were flowing with ominous cobalt blue energy patterns.

Following these two high-speed giant ships, four heavy cruisers and eight light cruisers formed the escort formation, each of which was a cutting-edge warship that had just completed testing.

Xia Li immersed the neural bundle into the command unit of the Zerg Hive flagship and prepared to start the navigation program. She didn't need to calculate the chance of winning. There was no surrender in the dictionary of the Zerg, only devouring or... running away.

However, the feedback from the insect ship told her that it would take at least another hour to repair the outer chitin armor. In addition, the gravity capsule that could perform jumps had also been severely damaged in the previous continuous jumps, and it would take at least the same amount of time to complete the same repair.

If forced to start, there is no guarantee that the flagship will not suffer irreversible structural impacts.

Charlie suddenly felt a stumbling sensation, as if she were trapped in a wheelchair.

If he had a fleet, even if he only had ten or more nest ships, the stirring of gravity would form a symbiotic gravitational field, enveloping the entire fleet and allowing it to move freely through the gravity well.

This is an ability that the Zerg learned from the space Leviathan creatures. It is also the method of hyperspace navigation with the least burden and the lowest loss. However, she only has this flagship now. In the past escape operations, she could only forcibly use the gravity chamber with huge losses until she and the "battleship" were hollowed out.

Well, after all, the enemy was still in the next galaxy, so there was no room for error for even an hour. But even if he escaped this time, what would happen? Xia Li could feel that the Imperial Fleet had locked onto her, and their warships were indeed faster than hers.

Can the Nest Ship still hold up after a few more high-intensity consecutive jumps?

I really shouldn't be here, Xia Li thought. If we had moved to the Gaixian direction, the second gravity chamber of the flagship would have evolved, and maybe even the string-vibrating bow bone that I had been drooling over for a long time would have been developed.

By that time, not to mention the new battlecruisers, even the Earthlings’ light-wing ships will be left to eat my dust!

Xia Li, who was the master for the first time, once again regretted her decision. She felt that she had not read enough military tactics. Why did she think of absorbing the biological information of various animals before, but why didn't she think of eating two powerful military strategists?

Speaking of which, who is the military strategist that the imperial devils fear the most?

As soon as Xia Li thought of this, she shuddered again and felt as if her shell was about to turn over and tremble.

However, she didn't have much time to continue feeling sorry for herself now.

The next-door Worker Bee galaxy sent the latest images again: the fast fleet with two new battlecruisers as the core always maintained an extreme marching mode close to the charge state, rushing towards the entrance of the galaxy. However, when crossing the asteroid belt, they also launched artillery fire in the direction of the Zerg.

Yes, before the Zerg hiding in the asteroid were ready to shoot, the battlecruiser immediately fired a large number of orbital shells, which came towards the direction where the Zerg were hiding.

The tower bugs at the scene just stood there stupidly, not even knowing how to fight back immediately. Perhaps it was because before the shells fell on their heads, they would think these whistling flying objects were asteroids, so they would not focus their fire to fight back.

There was no other way. After all, it was just an outer border outpost. Xia Li couldn't be so extravagant as to place an expensive lord there as cannon fodder.

Therefore, the final image transmitted by the worker bees was the image of the shells approaching from far away. The terrifying sense of oppression followed the unit network of neurons and pressed into Xia Li's heart across a distance of more than five light years.

Xia Li fell into a brief silence, then sneered: "Hahaha, absolutely deadly! There is a psychic on that ship, and he is a master tracker."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the enemy fleet would launch a round of intensive artillery fire in the direction of the outpost without hesitation.

The Empire has already mastered a considerable amount of Zerg pheromones, which are sufficient to allow higher-level psykers to locate the presence of Zerg swarms.

They will definitely chase after us, and given the current state of the Hive flagship, there is absolutely no way they can escape.

At this point, Xia Li had to give up all her fantasies. However, she gritted her teeth, and a ruthless look flashed in her eyes.

...So, there's no other choice but to move there, right?

But, so what? It is nothing more than living towards death. I seem to have never shown you the majesty of the Lord! Now is the time!

At the same time, inside the bridge of the Holy Sword Karad, the third ship of the Feathered-class battlecruiser, the tactical holographic screen flashed with a cold light, casting a cold aura on the faces of all the crew members.

The ship is new, the decoration is new, the equipment is new, but the crew are obviously well-informed veterans.

They carried out orders meticulously, watched expressionlessly as the asteroid in the distance was torn apart by intensive bombardment, and accurately read the latest information fed back from the communication terminal.

The gunner's voice sounded like a mechanical transcription directly from the communication channel: "Coordinates G-77 to K-09 sector area, all four asteroids have been destroyed."

"It is confirmed that the cobalt armor-piercing warhead is effective, and the killing rate exceeds the expected value by 17%."

"Order the entire fleet to use cobalt armor-piercing shells as a priority for orbital artillery shells."

"Biological contamination index?"

"No changes, no living spore-like fungi remain."

"More than 1000 million kilometers away, this kind of distant detection cannot be used as final evidence. If we want to be absolutely sure, we need to conduct a close-up exploration."

"The science team is on standby."

"Do we need to replace artificial lungs for the science officer and stormtrooper?"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the tactical operating table of the Holy Sword was suddenly filled with an optimistic and relaxed atmosphere.

Even the evil imperial soldiers could not all be devils, and they had to have normal emotions. They discovered the enemy in advance, deployed their defenses in advance, and even before the enemy could react, they had already delivered a fatal blow. This was a textbook-level artillery attack on the enemy, enough to make ordinary soldiers proud.

"Should we use antimatter warheads for purification?" the adjutant asked the commander, Major General Magus.

The general of the empire, who was of medium build and had a typical aristocratic face, paused for two or three seconds, then tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingers. "There is no time for this. Let the scientific team take a break. Also, inform Commander Rowentur of the battle situation at this coordinate. If they can arrive in time, they can collect the wreckage."

"Where is Commander Sobek from the Helot direction?" asked a staff officer.

"I have already informed the theater commander of the situation." Major General Magus stared at his subordinates. After the latter retreated timidly, he said, "Our fleet will continue to maintain its speed and move towards..."

The major general looked at the female navigator standing on the observatory in front of the bridge. The navigator, who was also wearing the uniform of an imperial major general, was more like floating in the core of the psychic array than standing on the observatory.

The spiritual aura roamed in the patterns of the array, flowing under the pilot's feet to form a river and a breeze. She was suspended 10 centimeters above the ground, her long hair dancing in the wind, like a goddess.

Well, at least judging from her current look, she does act like a top master.

She felt the fleet commander's gaze and responded without turning her head: "Keep the course and speed, we are very close to her. My feeling is that we will reach her soon."

"Very good, very good." General Magus said, "I look forward to bringing the good news to His Royal Highness King Weilunte."

The navigator's voice was filled with cold pride: "This is exactly the only reason I came here."
