Chapter 1772 The Order (Two-part long chapter combined)

Sangyadi suddenly looked up.

A dark figure gliding rapidly towards her came into view.

Even though she had experienced many Zerg wars and was considered a well-informed person, for the first time, an undisguised astonishment and a hint of silent wavering appeared on her face.

"Fire!"

"Concentrate all firepower!"

"beat!"

Sang Yadi's voice was urgent and almost over-the-top.

The firepower in the command area square was instantly mobilized again.

Dense beams of energy and explosives roared as they pounced on the new mutated Zerg that had just emerged from the tunnel!
However, a desperate scene still unfolded.

The flowing black patterns on the new Zerg's jet-black carapace suddenly became bright and dazzling.

A layer of visible ripples, capable of distorting gravitational fields, seamlessly covered its entire body.

The energy beam fired by the space ion cannon, powerful enough to tear through heavy armor, only stirred up faint ripples when it struck the surface.

Because the winding black lines on the carapace of the new mutant insectoids began to rotate, a rotating force field was naturally formed.

The intense shockwave from the space ion beam cannon collided with the rotating force field, but it was strangely neutralized or even absorbed, unable to shake it in the slightest!

This new type of mutated Zerg did not even attempt to dodge the powerful firepower.

Still moving at a pace that seemed to be in slow motion, but was actually incredibly fast, it glided straight toward Sanya.

The Star Marines around Sanya roared and charged forward, trying to form a human wall to protect her in front of the new mutated insectoid.

But the new mutant insectoid merely raised its long, blade-like forelimbs slightly, its movement as swift as lightning.

Blurry trails with black afterimages flashed through the air.

puff!puff!
There was no loud explosion, only a dull, nauseating tearing sound.

The two Star Marines at the forefront, along with their heavy conventional mechs, were silently sliced ​​through like tofu by a sharp knife!

The severed limbs and gushing blood paused briefly in the air before falling limply to the ground.

The whole process was incredibly fast; the space soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they were cleaved in two.

"No—!" Sanyadi roared, her eyes wide with fury, as she raised her mechanical arm and switched to the plasma sniper rifle.

But it was too late.

The gliding figures of the new mutant Zerg seemed to blend into the space within the space fortress.

The speed has increased even further.

A blurry flash covered the last hundred meters and appeared in front of Sangyadi.

The enormous, long, sword-shaped head, with an inhuman precision and elegance, leaned slightly forward, and then, as if in greeting, nodded slightly downwards.

"Crack!"

A crisp, hair-splitting cracking sound rang out.

Sanyadi's head was broken in two.

However, she was covered in second-generation mecha, which was even enhanced by Su Buyan.

Therefore, the new mutant insectoid's strike did not directly sever Sanya's head.

The mech protected Sanya's body from damage.

However, inside the mech, Sanya had already lost her last breath.

Her body remained frozen in the position of setting up the sniper rifle for half a second before collapsing heavily forward.

Time seemed to have completely frozen at this moment.

All the Star Marines and recruits still resisting in the square experienced a fatal slowdown in their movements.

Their faces were filled with disbelief and horror, and a fighting spirit that was instantly ignited.

Sanya's body, like the first domino to fall, instantly ignited all remaining will to resist.

"Roar--!!!"

The flying insectoids unleashed a deafening roar, a roar brimming with the cruel triumph of victory.

They don't need any tactics, nor do they need any cooperation.

Each flying Zerg represents twice the combat power of a human soldier.

Like a raging torrent unleashed, they swept away the last remaining, crumbling lines of defense of the space fortress.

Chen Yanjun roared, "Let's do it!"

"These bastards will have to step over my dead body if they want to get around this line of defense!"

"Comrades! Kill!"

A battle with an extremely unequal balance of power has begun.

For the Zerg, it was a one-sided massacre.

But for the garrison of the space fortress, it was their last glory.

I will spill my blood across the sky!
Chen Yanjun charged into the swarming Zerg.

Lin Nian'en charged into the swarming Zerg.

Wu Hang charged into the swarming Zerg.

Finally, even Old Man Zhao, who had been hiding and running away, rushed into the swarming insectoids.

Even if it takes two lives to take a flying insectoid creature with them to hell, they are willing to do it.

Inside the collapsing space fortress, the last roars of the garrison soldiers were heard, along with the clattering of energy beams and the suffocating deathly sounds of the Zerg's winged friction and hissing.

But not a single person backed down.

They are here, the space fortress is here.

The defensive line is right here.

When the battle reached its final moments, and almost all the weapons stored in the space fortress had been used up, Chen Yanjun ordered: "Withdraw all troops!"

"I'm going to detonate the space fortress!"

Of the original 100,000 troops stationed in the space fortress, only about 10,000 remain.

They received their orders and, one by one, piloted their mechs away from the space fortress.

At the same time, it also attracted some flying Zerg.

After the last Star Marine left, Chen Yanjun pulled the final fuse.

boom! boom! boom!
The core power unit of the entire space fortress suddenly exploded.

At this moment, the people in the eastern hemisphere of Guiyuan Star below have just ushered in daylight.

However, two suns suddenly appeared in the sky.

One is the sunlight they are accustomed to.

The other one, engulfed in flames, is rapidly plummeting downwards!
what happened? !
The sun has fallen down?!

Many people looked up at the sky, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Many people also turn on their quantum optical brain smartwatches to go online and send messages.

But they discovered they couldn't get up there!
StarNet has been disconnected!

They can only use the local area network on Guiyuan Star.

#The sun has fallen down!!! #

#StarNetwork is down!!! #

#What's going on?! That's a space fortress!!! #

#The Space Fortress has fallen down!!! #

What happened?!

Just then, Tao Pao finally stumbled and appeared in the sky above the Xia family manor on the outskirts of Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.

The air defense system below immediately activated, targeting her disheveled state in mid-air.

Tao hurriedly said, "I'm here to see Lieutenant General Xia!"

"I was her college classmate!"

"Something's happened to the space fortress!" "Something terrible has happened!"

"We've been ambushed by the Zerg army!"

After she shouted these words, the mechanical intelligence controlling the air defense system in Xia Chujian's home immediately connected to Xia Chujian's bedroom.

Xia Chujian was still sleeping at this time.

She's been staying up late every night reading novels online and sleeping in late in the morning, living a very leisurely life.

So, when I was startled awake by the sudden alarm in the room, I was still a little grumpy.

But when she heard the message relayed by the mechanical intelligence of her own air defense system, her face immediately darkened.

Without even changing out of her pajamas, she released her second-generation mecha, covering her entire body, and then flew out of the window.

Seeing Tao Pao covered in bloodstains on his mecha from mid-air, Xia Chujian's heart sank again.

She immediately said, "What happened to the space fortress? Let's go up and take a look!"

Almost simultaneously, a deafening roar, like an explosion, echoed through the sky.

The entire space fortress, like a falling sun, plummeted downwards at breakneck speed.

At this moment, she finally saw the message Chen Yanjun had sent her.

A Zerg attack?!

Xia Chujian was taken aback and immediately contacted the local garrison.

"I am Lieutenant General Xia Chujian."

"I order you to open fire immediately and bombard the falling space fortress fragments!"

"Shoot down the invading Zerg army at the same time!"

The garrison in Mulan City also discovered the space fortress that had fallen from the sky, and things were in complete chaos.

The highest-ranking officer in the garrison was only a major, a regimental commander.

He frantically tried to contact the military headquarters on Beichen Star, but due to problems with the Star Network, they couldn't contact other planets and could only exchange information within the local area network of Guiyuan Star.

With such a big incident, he couldn't make the decision.

Just then, Xia Chujian's order arrived, and he immediately agreed: "Yes, Lieutenant General Xia!"

But then he exclaimed in surprise, "What?! There's a Zerg army?!"

"This is impossible!"

"The front lines of Shaofu Star are where the Zerg should be!"

The ground commander, a major, was extremely excited and could hardly believe what he had just heard.

Xia Chujian said without any politeness, "Commander Fang, I'm giving you an order now, not negotiating with you!"

"If you disobey orders, you're dismissed on the spot! Let someone who obeys orders take over!"

Regiment Commander Fang snapped out of his daze, realizing his mistake, and immediately said, "Lieutenant General Xia! I was just too surprised; I wasn't trying to disobey orders!"

"Don't worry, I will immediately organize the air defense system to shoot at the fragments of the space fortress in the sky and the invading Zerg army!"

He was also feeling uneasy.

But at this time, the entire star network of Guiyuan Star was cut off, and he couldn't even ask the military headquarters on Beichen Star for instructions.

Anyway, it was Xia Chujian who gave the order. Her rank and position were higher than his, so it was only right that he obeyed the order.

Xia Chujian was still worried.

Inside her fully enclosed helmet, she said to Qi Lu, "...Go and take over the air defense system of Mulan City."

"Remember to instruct the air defense system to only target the space fortress fragments and the Zerg army, and not our space fortress garrison."

"If they managed to escape..."

Xia Chujian looked up at the countless fragments of the space fortress filling the sky, and the long trails of black smoke trailing behind them as they fell, and let out a long sigh.

Qi Lu quickly connected to Mulan City's air defense system.

Although the security system here is tight, it is completely insignificant to Qi Lu.

With it in place, the air defense system in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star became significantly more accurate after it was activated.

They are capable of accurately striking debris from space fortresses falling straight down from above, as well as any remaining Zerg that follow.

And avoid the garrison that escaped from the space fortress.

The space fortress had self-destructed into fragments, but even these fragments were enormous.

As they passed through the atmosphere, the friction caused fragments of the space fortress to burn, but some fragments were too large to burn completely.

Once they hit the ground, they'll all be aimed at Mulan City!

No one understands the population density of Mulan City better than Xia Chujian.

Her orders did indeed help to stop the damage in time.

The air defense weapons of the Mulan City garrison were activated.

Beams of bright laser light shot into the atmosphere, striking fragments of the space fortress until they disintegrated and vaporized in the atmosphere.

The entire city of Mulan was in an uproar, with everyone looking up at the sky as if someone had set off a sky full of fireworks in broad daylight.

Tao Pao, seeing this scene, burst into tears.

She said to Xia Chujian, "General Xia! The Zerg are launching a sneak attack!"

"Are they all dead?"

"I didn't want to leave... but they wanted me to come and deliver a message! To find reinforcements!"

"Why couldn't they have waited for me a little longer..."

Xia Chujian's heart tightened.

She grabbed Tao Pao's hand and said, "I saw some soldiers who escaped... Maybe they were lucky and managed to escape."

"Come down with me, and I'll explain what happened in detail."

Tao Pao took a deep breath, stopped crying, and followed Xia Chujian down to her house, where she recounted what had just happened.

From the moment the people in the space fortress discovered the Zerg sneak attack until now, only ten minutes have passed.

However, in those ten minutes, they had already lost Guiyuan Star's only space defense system—the Space Fortress.

And there are 100,000 troops stationed on the space fortress!

Xia Chujian closed her eyes briefly, her voice a little hoarse, and said, "...Then Chen Yanjun and the others, are they...are they also on the space fortress?"

Tao nodded, trembling, "...He sent me down to deliver the message..."

"The communication equipment above is under severe interference..."

"Those Zerg are completely different from the Zerg of the past!"

"They...they...can even withstand space ion beam cannons!"

Xia Chujian frowned: "The Zerg? I was just about to ask you, why didn't they attack Shaofu Star, but instead attacked our Guiyuan Star?!"

"How did they get here?!"

She didn't sense anything at all!

Tao shook his head: "I don't know how they got here."

"By the time we discovered them, they were already attacking the space fortress!"

"It's like it appeared out of thin air!"

"Moreover, those StarNet relay stations are no longer working!"

Xia Chujian calmly said, "The Zerg don't appear out of thin air; they must have passageways!"

Thinking of this, Xia Chujian couldn't sit still any longer.

She said, "Tao, you should rest for a bit. I need to go to a meeting."

The Zerg have already reached her doorstep; she can no longer sit idly by and wait to die.

Tao hurriedly said, "Can I go? I can fight too! I want to avenge my comrades!"

Xia Chujian said without any hesitation, "Follow my orders!"

Tao Pao was startled and instinctively stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, Lieutenant General Xia!"

 A new chapter will be released at 12:05 AM.
