Interstellar Super Planter

The human army was thrown into chaos, and the Zerg army seized the opportunity to charge, tearing countless humans apart in less than a minute.
Fortunately, each corps was under independent command, and the reserve officers and numerous staff officers in each command center were able to control every part of the battlefield and react quickly.

"Intercept the Queen Insect, retreat the entire army."

Several commanders issued the same order, and the army quickly turned around to carry it out.

In such a battle situation, the ability of officers at all levels to react quickly and reduce losses is put to the test.

Only a perfect combination of an excellent commander and a well-trained army can stabilize the situation; this is not the first time the Zerg have breached the defenses.
This was the first time they had ever been attacked by several King Insects. How could there be so many of these damned King Insects? Could a Celestial Venerable Realm expert from the Imperial Capital Star stop them?
Each commander was rapidly analyzing the situation and issuing orders quickly based on the battle conditions. All attempts to intercept the King Worm by various attack methods failed.
Firing the warship cannons at the Overlords is too close, as they are surrounded by human warships and soldiers. The only option is to fire at the surging Zerg army to cover the retreat of more soldiers.

The first wave of evacuation was the logistics fleet, which was stationed at a temporary base more than a hundred stars away from the battlefield. All warships were immediately activated.
Transport ships, medical ships, and repair ships departed at lightning speed, while the other legions, still undergoing repairs, were fully armed and rushed to the battlefield.

We must stop the Zerg army, otherwise the star system we finally conquered will be occupied by the Zerg again.

Seven or eight queen insects rushed into the human army formation and slaughtered them in a crushing manner. The commanders' eyes turned red instantly, but their faces remained cold, and the orders they issued were steady and powerful.
Only by calmly and quickly directing the army to withdraw can losses be minimized. In less than five minutes, the human side lost over 100,000 people, which is more than the losses in several days of battle.

After many warships were destroyed by the Queen Worms, the captains could only watch helplessly as their subordinates were torn apart and devoured, but they dared not self-destruct their warships. They were surrounded by their comrades, and if they could not kill the Queen Worms, they would only hurt their own men.

The entire battlefield was enormous, with both sides deploying millions of troops, totaling nearly twenty million.

Human warships and high-level Zerg warships are all very large. Various advanced warships and flagships can be comparable to a small town. When the Overlords suddenly attack, although the commanders of the various armies react quickly, there will still be moments of chaos.

After all, according to the rules of the battlefield, it is soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals. If one side breaks the rules and a high-level player attacks an ordinary person or insect, it will inevitably lead to chaos and will not benefit either side.

The Zerg will suddenly resort to this combat tactic when they are repeatedly losing battles;
These Imperial Legions had little experience fighting the Zerg, and the Zerg had been in a dominant position, rapidly occupying large areas of star systems. They were in the process of internal consolidation and did not launch a full-scale attack. Several Overlords, led by Red Worm, went to support another Zerg army.

This sudden attack was a prelude to the return of several Queen Insects, who then launched an offensive against humanity to continue their invasion of more star systems.

The Heavenly Venerable Realm experts from the Imperial Capital Star were tasked with dealing with the King Worms. Before the Red Worm returned, there weren't many King Worms, so those people could handle them, and the battle entered a stalemate.

After the Red Worms returned, the number of King Worms increased, and this group of powerful warriors gradually became overwhelmed. Several of them were even bitten to death by the King Worms, which led to increased casualties in the various legions of the Empire. They have been holding on for a long time.

After that, those powerful individuals became even more cautious when facing the King Worm again, and out of fear, they were at a disadvantage.

After several probing attacks, the Zerg used their usual strategy, catching humanity off guard and breaking through the battle lines in an instant.

Fortunately, the troops were well-trained and the commanders were experienced, and they quickly organized an interception to reduce losses. In addition, all the Heavenly Venerable Realm experts fought desperately to resist.
In less than ten minutes, the entire army retreated. Soldiers who could not retreat were not spared; they had already done their best to escape alive, and trying to save more people would only drag everyone down with them.

In the blink of an eye, the battle line collapsed completely. The human side fled for their lives. The commander reluctantly arranged for the rearguard to cover the retreat, including the strong ones, who needed to hold off the King Worms. As long as ordinary soldiers could escape, they would do their best.

But even these powerful individuals were trembling with fear. What if they couldn't defeat them?
They are clearly among the top human beings, yet they have to join forces to fight a single insect. Even if the insectoids are large, it doesn't have to be like this!

In the past, their powerful supernatural attacks were like tickling the King Worm. If it weren't for their various high-end weapons, they would have been defeated long ago.
They were just putting up a brave front. Hearing their companions' curses, some began to conserve their strength, ready to run away at any moment.

No one wants to die if they can live, so why should they be made to cover the retreat? If it weren't for their sense of responsibility as citizens of the Empire, they would have escaped long ago. Even if they wanted to leave, Wang Chong couldn't stop them. Every expert who has cultivated to the Heavenly Venerable Realm is two or three hundred years old; they are all shrewd old men. They didn't run because they knew the matter was of utmost importance, but the reality is they simply couldn't stop them. Wang Chong is too powerful.

One or two King Insects broke through the blockade of several people to pursue the fleet. Fortunately, apart from the rearguard, the main army had already distanced itself from them, and the rearguard legion, which was overwhelmed by the Zerg army, had little chance of survival.

At this moment, the warships charged forward while turning their cannons to bombard the catching Zerg. After joining up with the legions at their temporary base, they rearranged their battle lines in the void and gathered their remaining troops.

The command centers of each flagship quickly obtained data showing that less than 50% of the troops could withdraw in time, 20% were confirmed to have been killed, and 30% were still fighting the Zerg. It was unknown how many of these people would be able to return alive.
Once a warship is breached by the Zerg, without teammates to rescue it, the chances of survival are slim.

The legion commanders finally had a chance to discuss whether to fight or continue retreating. They were already close to their temporary encampment and knew they couldn't hold it. Fighting back would be pointless. In addition, the chaotic battle had caused heavy losses to all the armies, weakening their strength. They needed to return to the rear to regroup.

A legion commander with a refined appearance said in a deep voice, "It's impossible to fight back. Let's assess the terrain, rearrange our defenses, and hold off this wave of Zerg attacks."

Each of them was an experienced and excellent general, and they quickly formulated a new strategy. A merciful general cannot command an army. With so many soldiers just dead, they had no time to grieve and needed to calmly face the Zerg attack. War is just that cruel.

Warships that had escaped were gradually returning, but most of them were covered in Zerg. Once they reached the main force, it was easy to wipe out a few Zerg.

Soon, the legion commanders lost their composure. The King Worms had not been completely stopped and were already approaching, with the Zerg army following closely behind. The hastily arranged battle lines might collapse at the first charge.

The group reacted quickly, continuing their retreat to preserve their strength.
The order was given, and the warship sped away at full speed.

In another day or two, we'll be approaching the star system where the mercenaries are on their mission.

Upon receiving the news, Qi Changfeng immediately mobilized the entire military base, dismantling all the supplies that could be taken away, leaving only space debris in the void, except for some signal receivers.

Before the retreat, a new mission was suddenly released in the mission hall: resist the Zerg reinforcements to the front line. There is no limit to the number of people you can recruit, and the commission is extremely high. Killing one Zerg will earn you three times the usual reward.

The entire mission hall erupted in chaos as everyone asked what was going on. Those who were well-informed immediately realized what was happening and gave a knowing look.

"I know, I know, the front line must have been breached by the Zerg. Didn't you see the garrison was all packed up and ready to retreat?"

"So this mission involves fighting the Zerg alongside the army. Isn't that very dangerous?"

"But the commission is very high, so you can give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you can just run away."

"I'm afraid of being used as cannon fodder. Didn't you see the rules that say the army is under unified command?"

“When we go on missions, except for high-level missions, we still follow the military’s orders.”

"What do you know? That's different. You can't reason with someone like you who doesn't understand military matters. Anyway, I'm not taking it. I'm evacuating with the logistics team. There are plenty of opportunities to make money; you only have one life." (End of Chapter)
