Interstellar Super Planter

A fleet of various types is stationed in space on a planet near the front lines.

After more than two days of sailing, Leng Ye arrived at the mission coordinates;
An administrative planet in the middle star system of the Empire, with a population of billions, is now a scene of ruins and desolation. The once vibrant planet seems to have had its life force drained away, leaving it in ruins.

This planet has a vast land area, with oceans and lakes accounting for only one-third of it, making it very suitable for life, with bustling cities one after another.
The Zerg suddenly invaded, destroying everything except for a few plants and animals that might survive.

Too much time has passed since the Zerg invasion, and the probability of human survival is extremely low. Apart from the first six months when there was still hope, there is now 100% no human survivors.

This is not the first time the Zerg on this planet have been wiped out. Just a few months ago, this was a safe zone, and the military led a team to basically eliminate the Zerg on the planet.

Later, the major legions withdrew, and this area became a danger zone. The military did not keep track of how many Zerg were left on the planet or how many had sneaked in. It was already a feat to hold off the Zerg army; the scattered Zerg were truly powerless.

The void is so vast that no amount of troops can completely guard it; the Zerg will always sneak in in small numbers.

The military is eager to eliminate these Zerg to prevent them from growing too powerful and putting each legion in a pincer movement, but unfortunately, they are unable to spare the resources.

The key to breaking the deadlock is that Leng Ye dared to take on the mission. Only if they successfully complete the mission will mercenaries dare to come. There will definitely be danger, but there is no need to worry too much.
In the event of a major defeat, the army will definitely send the mercenary logistics corps to retreat first, as the probability of them encountering danger is not high, and whether they can survive depends on luck.

Since the start of the war, Imperial soldiers have fought the Zerg one after another, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Everyone only has one life.
We are all human beings. We can't just let soldiers sacrifice their lives. Mercenaries also have to fight for their country and people, and fight for huge commissions. They can't always hide in the back.

No one is obligated to protect anyone forever. In times of crisis, mercenaries will be forced to go to the battlefield even at gunpoint. This is just giving them an adaptation period. Even without Leng Ye's appearance, the military would soon have initiated coercive measures.

The military's warship followed behind the Cold Night Fleet. It was a medium-sized warship with a full complement of 100,000 men. This time, they were not the main force to eliminate the Zerg. Apart from the warship's pilots, there was only a small team of 1,000 men, led by Lin Yuyang.

Originally, the officer who accompanied the mercenaries on the mission was not Lin Yuyang. After all, it was not far from the front line and the danger level was high. Usually, it was an officer with rich experience in fighting the Zerg who led the team.

But Leng Ye had been training with Lin Yuyang, and he really wanted to see the combat strength of this fleet composed of space pirates. After all, he had limited information, and seeing it with his own eyes would be more direct and real.
Most importantly, Lin Yuyang didn't want to stay in the logistics department as an instructor and nanny, fighting against the remaining Zerg with little combat power. He wanted to test the combat strength of the Zerg elite soldiers and prepare for the future.

In the future, all soldiers will go to the battlefield. When there is a shortage of people on the front line, the logistics troops will have to step up. He might as well accumulate experience in advance.

The Zerg invasion is getting worse and worse. If this continues, not only soldiers and mercenaries, but everyone in the mid-level star system will be affected.
People can still seek refuge in the central and primordial galaxies now, but what if the intermediate galaxies fall completely? The primordial galaxies' defenses are easily breached; how long can the central galaxies hold out?
If the Empire doesn't stop the Zerg's advance, does it still have any hope?

Those with strategic vision could see that the Zerg had to be completely annihilated in the mid-sized star system; there was no retreat. Therefore, everyone had a responsibility to protect the Empire, even at the cost of their lives.

Soldiers have this mission, which is why Lin Yuyang came. He has high hopes for this fleet that has the best combat training. If it continues to excel in actual combat, he will apply to his superiors for full support for Leng Ye, since their warships and weapons are too poor, which affects their combat effectiveness.

In the cockpit of the Violet, Ye Zhi Qiu ordered the fleet to stop near the planet's orbit.

This time, all operational strategies were decided by Leng Ye himself, with the military only responsible for supervision.

For the first few decades of his life, Ye Zhiqiu worked as a mercenary, primarily protecting people and goods, and frequently clashed with space pirates, thugs, and other gangsters.
I never imagined that one day I would lead a fleet to attack a planet. Of course, calling it an attack is a bit of an exaggeration, but all the battles were conducted strictly according to military strategy. Ever since I followed Su Qing in attacking the space pirate base from two warships, Ye Zhi Qiu, the mercenary leader, seemed to have unlocked another skill. He shifted from defense to offense, and he picked up his military courses from school again, finding a use for them.

The capture of hundreds of thousands of space pirates, the experience of the First Army, and the gradual formation of a fleet. This mission is to be commanded by Ye Zhi Qiu completely independently, without any interference from the military.

Ye Zhi Qiu was determined to make a name for himself in one battle, and he gave a thorough pre-battle pep talk before he came.
The mercenaries were eager for a bloody battle, but the space pirates were indifferent.
What do they care about the commission? They just beg the demoness not to kill them, and it would be best if she could cure them of the poison. Who would want to kill the insectoids? If they weren't forced, they would have run away long ago. They could live a carefree life anywhere.

Most space pirates haven't realized that the Empire is already in chaos and that being a space pirate is no longer easy; they still dream of returning to their old lives.

Su Qing, Bai Qian, Elder Zhu, and others were all well-prepared for this battle. Bai Qian was in charge of leading the team and providing support wherever there were insectoid enemies that they couldn't handle. Su Qing prepared ample pills and talismans for everyone, and each of the space pirates also received one. In addition, with the weapons, equipment, and supplies provided by the military, Ye Zhi Qiu was full of confidence.

Leng Ye has more than 100 warships of various sizes. The Violet is considered the command ship and cannot be landed. Some personnel need to be left in space. The military warships will not go down either. Lin Yuyang will lead a group of people down in a shuttle.

Old Zhu and Bai Qian went down to hold the line, while Su Qing stayed behind. Apart from the drivers and the remaining combat force, everyone else was mobilized.

First, the mech pilots fly their mechs through the atmosphere to the spaceport, where they are responsible for guarding and eliminating the Zerg.

Once the spaceport was safe, the other warships landed at the planet's spaceport and began their missions.

As the commander, Ye Zhiqiu cannot leave the Violet and needs to issue orders at any time based on the battle situation on the planet.

With Su Qing around, they can handle any situation, so Ye Zhi Qiu isn't worried about the decapitation strategy. As long as the Violet is there, the people on the planet carrying out the mission won't panic.

If a Zerg attack occurs, the crew remaining on the warship will retaliate to cover the retreat of those on missions.

Ye Zhi Qiu had already simulated the situation many times before. Even if there were some shortcomings, Bai Qian, Zhu Lao, Ye Lan, Ye Hao, and others could handle it. It wasn't like they were facing a swarm of insects. Even the Zhang couple weren't afraid of this kind of situation.

Standing atop the Violet, Su Qing watched Elder Zhu and Bai Qian leave, then scanned the planet before her with her divine sense.

The spaceport, which covers an area larger than a large city, is in a state of disrepair and is the site of the fiercest fighting during the Zerg invasion.

At that time, the spaceport was crowded with refugees who wanted to escape by spaceship. The defending forces fought fiercely with the Zerg to protect the people.
Human artillery fire and Zerg biological weapons shattered a once-thriving spaceport into dust. Huge pieces of metal, collapsed facilities, dried-up unidentified liquid, and numerous skeletons—both human and animal—were scattered, their flesh and blood gone, with signs of gnaws visible on the bones.

This is still a planet that has already been cleared, and it is still in such a terrible state. You can imagine that the planets in the Zerg-occupied areas must be barren and desolate, with nothing but soil. All the energy-rich matter has been eaten up by the Zerg.

Metals and marine life were no match for the Zerg. A planet wiped out by the Zerg would take hundreds of years for its vegetation to recover, and even longer for animals to reappear. External intervention would be required for a complete food chain to be established. (End of Chapter)
