Interstellar Super Planter

Chapter 1131 The opportunity has come
When Ye Zhi Qiu was in the First Army, he was still a novice military commander. More than a year of experience made him a qualified commander, but he had no opportunity to show it. He was eager to test his star war command skills.

It's no wonder that the military's escort ships looked down on the Lengye Mercenary Group. From the outside, Lengye's entire fleet had outdated warships, obsolete weapons and equipment, and even worse personnel. Most of them were space pirates, and the personnel were a mixed bag who had not undergone systematic military training. Their ability to operate warships was at most slightly better than that of ordinary people.

The only ship with any fighting capability is the flagship, Violet; it would be strange to send them into battle under these circumstances.

After anchoring for two or three hours, Ye Zhi Qiu received a rendezvous notice. Upon reaching the designated coordinates, he rendezvoused with the returning transport fleet and awaited orders to set sail immediately. This time, a frigate was brought in to lead the way, while the Leng Ye fleet led the way.

Ye Zhi Qiu was overjoyed to receive the order. Great! He finally had the chance to demonstrate the fleet's combat capabilities. In the past, firing on the battlefield didn't count; it was just following orders and firing without any technical skill.

Even if there is a Zerg attack on the return trip, the probability is not high, because the transport ships are empty and the Zerg will not infiltrate again so quickly. Therefore, it is better to have Leng Ye in front and the army in the rear, so that they can react quickly in case of any unexpected events.

Ye Zhi Qiu directed the fleet to form a defensive formation, awaiting the order to set sail.

The commander of the escort ship nodded in approval, thinking that this leader of Leng Ye's group was quite capable, at least able to subdue a group of space pirates. His military formation was commendable.

At a command, all warships began their return journey. Because the transport ships were empty, their speed doubled, covering hundreds of stars in the blink of an eye, leaving the front line at the speed of light.

Several medical ships also returned with the group. All the medical bays on board were filled with seriously wounded soldiers soaking in repair fluid. They were all incomplete, and various medicines that needed to be transported were hanging outside the medical bays.

The medical robots are constantly busy; when a red light comes on in a compartment, the medication must be changed immediately and the dosage adjusted.

Surgeries were being performed continuously in the ship's operating room, with every doctor racing against time to save the lives of all the seriously injured.

Medical ships like these would periodically return with the transport fleet to send seriously wounded soldiers back to the rear.
These wounded soldiers will need at least a period of rest and treatment to recover, and the time it takes for them to regain their original combat effectiveness is uncertain. Some may even lose their cultivation and become ordinary people.

The cruelty of war goes far beyond death; the sacrifices of soldiers often mean the shattering of countless happy families.

Others may not be able to see what's happening inside the medical ship, but they can't stop Su Qing's divine sense. However, she only glances at it briefly and doesn't act out of compassion.

Under the torrent of fate, all people are like ants. Even she wouldn't dare to go against the will of heaven. Otherwise, she would have already killed the mother worm to avenge her grandmother. Why bother with this roundabout way?

How long will it take for humanity to defeat the Zerg? More than a decade has passed since the Zerg first appeared, and instead of being eliminated, their numbers have only increased. Right now, a mid-sized galaxy is about to descend into chaos.

However, humans are not without any power to resist. Humans are a species that is weak compared to many races in the universe. But humans can cultivate themselves and become stronger. They are born with superior intelligence.

There must be strong humans who can kill the Ohmu. Although ordinary people are weak, they can form a powerful force when they are gathered together.
The Empire has been at peace for too long, and most people have not experienced war for generations. If it weren't for other human nations fighting the Empire every now and then, the Empire's army would have no use for its military. If the Zerg were to invade, the situation would be even worse.

Su Qing dares not change the course of the war at will, otherwise she will also be in great trouble. The Heavenly Dao had already given a warning last time. If she does not know her place, the strength of the King Worm will probably increase, and the resulting butterfly effect will all fall on her.

She could only submit to fate and do what she could. In fact, Su Qing herself couldn't figure out what the right thing to do was, so she could only take it one step at a time.

On the return journey, they indeed encountered the Zerg. These were likely Zerg lurking on the planet and hadn't evacuated. Such scattered Zerg were present on multiple planets near the battlefield, making it impossible for the military to spare manpower to eradicate them, and mercenaries were unwilling to take on high-risk missions, so the probability of encountering them was high. Some of these Zerg were trying to sneak across the human front lines to rejoin the army, while others had been gathered together by high-ranking Zerg generals who had been smuggled in, intending to cut off the human supply lines.
If the supply convoy is encountered, it will open fire immediately, giving the Zerg no chance to regroup.

Just then, a wave of Zerg ran into the Cold Night Mercenary Group, who were eager to show off.

Under the cold night sky, not only was Ye Zhi Qiu eager, but the space pirates were also impatient to fight. Their value lay in killing the insectoid race, and it would be terrible if Su Mo Tou felt they were useless.

The captains in charge of each warship were all handpicked by Sun Liu. Due to various reasons, the captains were lost quite quickly.

Initially, the assignments were all done haphazardly, and the hundreds of thousands of people were in complete disarray. Ye Zhi Qiu and his group, with only a small number of people, had difficulty managing them, so it was a case of pirates managing pirates. Later, Sun Liu and his subordinates became Ye Zhi Qiu's capable assistants, and together with Leng Ye's original mercenaries, they were able to successfully control everyone.

Inside the Violet's cockpit, everyone performed their duties, keeping a close eye on the screens in front of them, not missing a single piece of information, reporting on the surrounding situation every now and then, and maintaining constant contact with the escorting frigates.

Ye Zhi Qiu and Zhu Shun Ming took turns resting. As long as no Zerg appeared, sailing on the warship was extremely boring and tedious, and some people couldn't help but yawn.

Only Ye Zhi Qiu remained energetic, staring intently at the screen, hoping to find information about the Zerg and prepare for battle. The human warship's exploration equipment could detect situations hundreds of stars away, and with the assistance of the warship's intelligent optical brain, they could discover the Zerg as soon as possible and prepare for battle.

Su Qing and Bai Qian casually found a place, closed their eyes and meditated. While the others had to take turns resting, they could just meditate, which only required consuming some spirit stones.

This is the second day since we left the front lines. Soon the fleet will enter a safe zone. It's only safe in a relative sense because there aren't too many Zerg. Under the current circumstances, nowhere is safe.

Su Qing suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Commander Ye, something's up."

Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes flashed, and he asked urgently, "Miss Su, is there an insectoid race?"

Su Qing nodded. "They're coming from several directions, but not in large numbers. It's probably because high-level Zerg are gathering their Zerg troops."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi Qiu immediately shouted with great energy, "There are Zerg! Everyone, be alert and notify everyone to prepare for battle!"

Leng Ye needs to achieve the best results in this battle to prove their strength, so that the military will assign them more high-level missions in the future.

The people in the cockpit were startled at first, then their fingers flew across the keyboard to convey Ye Zhi Qiu's orders. They didn't care whether the Zerg were real or not. Even if the warship's detection system hadn't found anything, if Su Qing said they were there, then they must be there.

Alarms blared throughout the warships on that cold night, and all the resting personnel hurriedly donned their full gear and took their positions, ready for battle.

Ye Zhi Qiu quickly contacted the escort ship's commander to report the discovery of the Zerg and request permission to engage in combat.

Upon hearing the report, the officer in charge of the escorting frigate looked astonished. "Impossible! Our detectors are the most advanced. There's not a single anomaly within 500 stars ahead. How could their outdated warships detect the Zerg? Several waves, no less! Did they find them in their dreams?"
