Interstellar Super Planter

When she was in the First Army, Su Qing didn't think about modifying her mecha. The only one in the army that was modified by her was Meng Li's Black Whirlwind.
As Meng Li's cultivation level advanced, the Black Whirlwind technique became unusable. After years of fighting, the Black Whirlwind was practically useless.

Before leaving, Su Qing remembered that Meng Li's modified mecha and weapons had enhanced performance in various aspects, allowing it to exert greater power on the battlefield.

However, the mechs in the military are all the most advanced, and modifications are just icing on the cake. She didn't want to find more work for herself, as alchemy already took up most of her time.
When the ancestor arrived at the battlefield, she couldn't stand the murderous aura of war and stayed in the space without coming out. No one reminded her that Leng Ye's mecha hadn't been modified yet!
The modification of mechs began after Su Qing left the First Army. Many mech pilots in the space pirates were killed or wounded in several battles against the Zerg. Even cannon fodder could not be wasted, which is why Su Qing was busy modifying mechs on the road and updating the equipment of the entire fleet.

The people in the First Army thought Su Qing was just a master alchemist, but they didn't expect her to be able to forge weapons as well. If they had known, they wouldn't have let her leave the First Army so easily.

Ye Zhi Qiu received orders to continue leading the vanguard, with all warships advancing at full speed, faster than the speed of light, towards the temporary base.

Regardless of which warship they were on, Leng Ye and his crew were all excited. It wasn't the first time they had killed the Zerg, but this was the only time they had achieved a complete victory in a space war.
Previously, they were all either supporters or observers. Although they had fought against the Zerg, it was out of necessity back then. Everyone was thinking that since they were going to die anyway, they might as well take a gamble.
This was the first space battle independently completed by their fleet. Everyone, from Ye Zhi Qiu and Leng Ye mercenaries in command to the space pirate mech squadron, ordinary space pirates, logistics personnel, and those in various positions piloting the warships, was excited and recounted the battle.

For the first time, the space pirates found that besides murder, robbery, and evil deeds, killing the insectoids was also quite enjoyable.

On the Violet, Ye Zhi Qiu carefully analyzed the battle situation for his children, pointing out their shortcomings.

Bai Qian and Su Qing didn't chat with the others in the corner. Killing these insectoids was too easy for them, but it was not easy for the Leng Ye Fleet. Moreover, none of them died, so Ye Zhi Qiu's hard work in training had not been in vain.

Those familiar with the Cold Night Fleet's data would be astonished by the results of today's battle; it's practically an impossible feat.

A third-rate mercenary group, leading a band of space pirates, drove a hundred or so ragtag warships and repelled nearly ten thousand insect soldiers in the void, even killing an insect general. The key point is that it only took five minutes.

If mercenaries can achieve such feats, why would a regular army with hundreds of thousands of warships suffer repeated defeats and fail to defend the mid-level star system? Most people would instinctively think that it's just boasting and exaggeration, and there must be more to the story.

After the transport fleet returned to its base, they dispersed. Ye Zhi Qiu went to hand in his mission and collect his commission.

The mission hall is bustling with people, always very busy, and it's a gathering place for the Empire's most daring and courageous individuals.

Some people were taking on missions alone, some were forming small teams, and others were from various mercenary groups, all of whom carried the smell of gunpowder from the war.

Mercenaries, including those with superpowers and martial arts skills, are also proficient in using various firearms, which are often more lethal.

After all, low-level ability users and martial artists have very ordinary combat abilities. Only when their cultivation level is high can their abilities have powerful destructive force.

Ye Zhi Qiu, along with his two good brothers, Ye Lan, and Ye Hao, came together to complete the mission.

He was gradually raising his two children. They had been following Su Qing for over ten years, and while their cultivation had improved, they also needed to catch up on other studies.

From now on, Leng Ye will be handed over to them. It's not enough to just know how to fight. The two kids still have a lot to learn, such as managing the fleet, interpersonal skills, and building connections.

Miss Su is not one to meddle in mundane affairs, and since the two of them are Miss Su's disciples, it is only natural that they should take on this responsibility.

Ye Lan and Ye Hao are no longer the naive teenagers they once were. They understand their father's meaning and are studying diligently by his side.

Ye Zhi Qiu and his group went unnoticed. They successfully completed their mission, received a large sum of interstellar coins in their accounts, and all of them smiled. Before coming, they had all agreed to take on a high-level mission, but they would skip the escort mission and let other mercenary groups take it!

If they complete the mission easily, other mercenary groups will be eager to take on the guard duties. There's no need to compete with them.

Ye Zhi Qiu felt that Leng Ye's mercenaries and space pirates lacked combat experience on large battlefields. The insectoid race often numbered in the millions or tens of millions. Apart from Su Qing and Bai Qian, who among humans could move freely in the insectoid swarm?

Their advantage in fighting the Zerg lies in combining everyone's strength to form a battle formation, cooperating with each other, and blocking the Zerg, which outnumbers them several times over.

Just as the various legions, under the command of their flagships, can unite millions of people into a single force to block the repeated invasions of the Zerg, without the sacrifices and dedication of the soldiers, humanity would have been wiped out long ago.

They will eventually have to face that kind of war, but Leng Ye's foundation is too weak. The tens of thousands of space pirates that Su Qing subdued with force are still a long way from achieving the combat power of an army.

The first priority is to unite the entire fleet and improve its strength through actual combat.

Guard missions offer few opportunities to kill Zerg, the number of Zerg is insufficient, and time is tight, so they don't provide much training. Taking on planet-cleaning missions is a better way to train.

Despite the large number of space pirates, most of them are ordinary people, low-level superpowered individuals, and martial artists. The powerful leaders have all been killed by Su Qing and Bai Qian.
Getting these people to abandon their bad habits as space pirates and train them into a fierce and elite force is just wishful thinking for anyone else. Just providing food and drink for tens of thousands of people and maintaining the operation of the fleet is something that no ordinary family can afford.

Su Qing's establishment of the fleet can be said to be due to a combination of various factors, all occurring at the right time.
Otherwise, in the entire empire, which private armed force dares to have hundreds of thousands of people? The largest mercenary group has only tens of thousands of people and owns a few warships; most of the others are spaceships.

Driven by fate, Su Qing acquired this fleet, and Ye Zhi Qiu wanted to transform it into his ideal form.

Su Qing's goal is to avenge the extermination of the Zerg. This fleet is her means of revenge. No matter how powerful she is, how many Zerg can she kill? Only by having her own fleet can she achieve her goal. Otherwise, she would not have returned to the rear from the front line.
Such large-scale battlefields are far beyond the control of a single powerful human; they are wars of annihilation between two entire races.

Ye Zhi Qiu and Zhu Lao had been planning the fleet's direction for a long time. The first priority was training the troops, as having the ability to protect themselves in chaotic times was fundamental.

We cannot rely solely on the Imperial Army. The army serves the superstructure. People like them must strive to protect themselves in times of disaster. With a goal in mind, they will work hard to move forward.

"Dad, these tasks have high commissions, which one should we take?" Ye Lan tapped around on the screen, looking through the information of each task.

The others watched together from the side. The mission hall had countless quantum computers for mercenaries to accept missions.

Once you've selected the task, simply click "Accept Order." After successful completion, you can simply swipe your card using your mercenary group's identification badge.

Some tasks have a limited number of participants, and will close once everyone is present.

The tasks Ye Lan looked at were all top-level tasks that had been listed for a long time without anyone accepting them, consistently ranking among the top in terms of task commissions.

Those mission locations were too close to the front lines. The army could retreat at any moment, and the planet could become Zerg territory. If the mercenaries on those missions were slow to escape, they would die. Who would dare take on such missions? (End of Chapter)
