Chapter 1672: Not Worthy (First Update)
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, less than 100,000 people were evacuated from the entire Shaofu Star.

There are still seven billion people left.

Or, become food and incubator for the Zerg.

Or, evacuate everyone.

But 24 hours is obviously not enough to evacuate everyone.

Xia Chujian's words silenced all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.

After a while, a woman whispered: "I am willing to hold on until everyone evacuates."

Then many people expressed their willingness to stick with it until the last moment.

Xia Chujian nodded: "Now let's vote."

"Those who are willing to stick with it until the last moment, please send me your consent."

"If you don't want to, send me your objection."

Soon, the central control system of her temporary command center received a lot of "yes".

Among the remaining one million or so soldiers, not a single one chose to "oppose."

They had fought head-on with the vicious Zerg.

Although they were once frightened to the point of nearly mental collapse, no one backed down when it came to fulfilling their duties.

Xia Chujian saw everyone's choices and said with emotion: "The selfish military is not worthy of such good soldiers like us."

She didn't say it in her heart, but said it directly into the call system.

After a while, a burst of laughter came from the intercom.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xia's words are really interesting!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Xia, if you can talk, please speak more! Everyone loves to listen!"

"It's not the selfish military that's unworthy of us!"

During the joke, someone suddenly asked, "What was that big golden bird just now?"

"I saw it attract all the Zergs as soon as it came out. But why did it suddenly disappear later?"

Xia Chujian was just thinking about how to make up a story when she heard Huo Yushen's voice: "Do you remember the Golden Bird of Justice?"

"We've seen it on trending searches before."

This reminds everyone.

Just one year ago, there was a video titled "Zerg Natural Enemy, Justice from Heaven" which became a hot search on Starnet.

On it is a golden bird, killing the Zerg everywhere on the Southern Cross.

It was happily named "Golden Bird of Justice" by netizens of the Beichen Empire.

Everyone was immediately happier.

That was a bird of prey that had fought its way in and out of the Zerg pack three times and treated the Zerg as nothing!

No wonder so many Zerg were attracted together, creating a great opportunity for everyone to encircle and annihilate them!

Some soldiers were more sensitive and asked curiously: "Isn't this golden bird of justice in the Southern Cross? Why is it here again?"

Someone immediately made up for it: "What's so strange about this? The Zerg can suddenly come through the black nebula vortex, and this golden bird of justice can follow. What's the problem?"

"No problem...No problem!"

"But how did the Zerg get here? How did they master the technology to create this wormhole passage?"

This is also Xia Chujian’s question.

But she didn't have time to dwell on this question yet.

She just said into the intercom: "Now, we are going to hold a holographic meeting. Please enter the holographic conference room."

Holographic conference rooms are standard on all major starships.

The real wartime instant communication confidentiality level must be conducted in the holographic conference room.

Because these meetings are remote meetings, holographic conference rooms help to identify each person's identity.

Soon, the hologram in front of Xia Chumian showed all the surviving soldiers of the entire fleet.

She looked at the statistics that appeared on the lower left side of the hologram and sighed slightly.

The entire Fifth Star Fleet should have five million people at full strength.

But 40% of the people had followed the new Purple Lord Star Fleet, and now they have been wiped out.

The remaining 60 percent, or three million people.

But there are only 1.04 million people still alive.

That is to say, in the battle that just lasted for more than an hour, the Fifth Interstellar Fleet lost nearly two million people.

And most of them are the elites and upper echelons of the fleet.

Xia Chujian took a deep breath.

It's not particularly strange to know this.

Because those 40% of people who were afraid of death and only wanted to take credit for their achievements but didn't want to fight their lives have already stayed in the Southern Cross forever with the Zijun Interstellar Fleet.

The remaining 60% of people are mostly people with righteous hearts and strong will.

As soldiers, they lived up to their identity and honor.

It’s just that there will be no telling how many more brutal battles like this one will happen in the future as the Zerg actively attack...

Xia Chujian became more alert and continued to look at the statistics on the hologram.

They lost nearly two million people, but took away four million Zergs!
This is a casualty ratio of one to two!

It’s already amazing!
Of course, everyone knows that if Xia Chujian hadn't arrived and killed the Split-Skull Beetle, and then had the help of the "Golden Bird of Justice", their entire fleet would have been wiped out. Xia Chujian then discovered that among the 1.04 million people, only more than 30,000 were injured.

How come the death rate is so high, but the injury rate is so low? !

Then, after asking the soldiers in the holographic conference room, she realized that in the battle with the Zerg, basically anyone who was injured would die.

And most of the more than 30,000 people injured now were not injured in the battle with the Zerg, but... were injured in the starry sky due to their own carelessness.

This is also common.

These people are ordinary space marines and have no genetic evolution capabilities.

Although they are accompanied by conventional mechas, their bodies will be injured if the mechas are damaged in the starry sky.

This injury is not fatal.

The fleet’s own medical cabin can provide treatment.

However, the captain below reported a situation to Xia Chujian, that is, even though there were only more than 30,000 people injured, the fleet’s medical cabins were still not enough.

At present, they can only send the seriously injured to the medical cabin for treatment first according to the severity of their injuries.

The lightly injured soldiers had no choice but to endure it.

You can only receive treatment when the medical cabin is vacant.

But even if they are minor injuries, they are injuries sustained in outer space. For these ordinary people, if they are not treated in time, the sequelae will be quite serious.

Xia Chujian immediately decided: "How many wounded people cannot enter the medical cabin for treatment? Count them immediately and send them to me by aircraft."

She looked at the soldiers in the holographic conference room who were already in an extremely exhausted state, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I will report my military achievements this time truthfully and strive for the best treatment for everyone."

"Now, according to our previous arrangement, everyone will take turns to rest."

"All energy weapons on board the starships must be recharged as quickly as possible."

"If the starship is seriously damaged, it must be reported immediately and repaired by a repairman."

At this time, a captain repairman said: "Lieutenant Colonel Xia, there are only three repairmen still alive in our entire fleet, which is totally insufficient."

Xia Chujian was silent for a while, then said, "First, you count the warships that need to be repaired, and I'll find a solution."

……

After the holographic meeting, Huo Yushen came to the temporary command center battleship where Xia Chujian was.

"What do you want?"

What he was asking about was what Xia Chujian had just said, "she would find a solution."

Xia Chujian looked at the starry sky outside the observation window with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Of course we have to go down there and find a solution."

Her gaze turned towards Shaofu Star below the atmosphere.

Huo Yushen nodded slightly: "Indeed, if the military doesn't provide supplies, we have to find supplies ourselves."

Xia Chujian said: "Shaofu Star has been abandoned by the military, we will do our best."

Huo Yushen remained silent.

After Xia Chujian finished speaking, he sent a message to the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

[Fifth Starship·Leader Xia Chujian]: Dear commanders, the Zerg attacking Shaofu Star has been temporarily eliminated. Our battle report will be submitted through regular channels later.

[Fifth Starship·Legion Commander Xia Chujian]: In this battle, we lost two-thirds of our troops and more than half of our equipment, and we are in urgent need of replenishment.

The military's Joint Chiefs of Staff account also responded immediately.

[Joint Chiefs of Staff Meeting]: Commander Xia, remember to hold off the Zerg for twenty-four hours. We have only defeated the first wave of attack, and you still have twenty-three hours.

[Fifth Starship·Leader Xia Chujian]: Received. We will do our best to defend the front line of Shaofu Star and buy time for the rear retreat. We need additional troops and equipment, please give us instructions.

[Joint Chiefs of Staff]: The battle report has been received and the military achievements are being verified. We hope you will continue to guard for 23 hours.

When Xia Chujian saw this reply, she almost laughed out of anger.

Is this a deliberate avoidance of her request, not giving her additional troops and equipment?
Then how does she fight?

Even if she dragged all her existing troops to feed the Zerg, it would only take a few minutes. Where did she get 23 hours?!

These people take her achievements for granted!

Xia Chujian was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

If she doesn't fight back, she's not Xia Chujian anymore...

[Fifth Starship·Legion Commander Xia Chujian]: Dear commanders, if we don’t have manpower and equipment replenishment, the time we can hold out is three minutes and twenty seconds.

[Fifth Starship, Legion Commander Xia Chujian]: Our entire army will be wiped out afterwards. You can punish us however you want.

This is an ultimatum.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff account at the military headquarters is managed by a major.

After he sent out the joint decision of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he got the response from Xia Chujian that "it's a fight to the bitter end, let's go our separate ways."

Of course this won't work.

Twenty-four hours is the retreat time that must be adhered to.

Otherwise, even the families of senior military officers, nobles, senior cabinet officials and senators would not be able to be completely evacuated.

Moreover, Xia Chujian's reply was something everyone knew.

How can we fight the Zerg without manpower and weapons?

However, their commander-in-chief was able to repel the enemy and felt that Xia Chujian was powerful enough. Since he was able to fight a battle with zero casualties, he should be able to cope with it even without sufficient troops and weapons.

The casualty figures are just a little ugly at best.

There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon!
