Super God: Rise of Civilization.

Whether you're a black hole or a star.

When it's your turn to die, you will die.

The Zerg warriors watching this scene acted swiftly, collecting the strikes and transmitting them to their higher-ranking Queen.

It is the king of the Zerg, but not the queen of the Zerg.

It is responsible for commanding wars, not for breeding soldiers.

The Zerg also have a hierarchical system with a very detailed division of labor.

Behind this warship, in the dark star field, a fleet of cold, crimson-glowing biological motherships slowly emerged.

If someone with trypophobia were here, they would faint upon seeing these cold, biological motherships.

It turns out that the number of soldiers lost in the day and night battle against the Star Empire's two combined fleets and 100,000 warships was almost negligible.

There are even more biological motherships behind them.

The true Zerg calamity has arrived in the Divine River Universe.

Chapter 259 [Congratulations, Your Majesty]

星辰纪元6451年12月17日，下午17:50。

"Your Majesty, the Third Joint Fleet has safely withdrawn to the Origin Planetary System."

"According to reports from the front lines, the Zerg are surging in from the Dark Starfield in large numbers."

"They are moving very fast and have already spread their influence to half of the star system. They are still emerging from the Dark Star Region on a large scale."

The Secretary-General looked at His Majesty the Emperor before him, reported the situation from the front lines, and awaited His Majesty's reaction.

"The Zerg are coming on strong and may become the greatest disaster in the universe."

Yang Yu tapped his fingers on the table, looking at the screen in front of him with worry in his eyes, and said, "The Empire has activated a Level 2 war preparedness state."

"Once we enter a Level 2 state of war, we will sever all trade ties with Lieyang."

The secretary-general frowned slightly.

If a Level 2 state of war is declared, it means that the Empire will close all external trade channels, which will lead to economic crises or even collapses for many companies in the Empire that rely on trade for survival.

The empire not only trades with the Sun Civilization, but also with neighboring spacefaring civilizations.

"Trade is trade after all. Losing some insignificant trade transactions will not cause any irreversible disaster to the empire."

"If continued trade gives the Zerg an opportunity to exploit, that would be a disaster for the Empire."

Yang Yu shook his head; the empire itself relied on itself.

Trade was conducted to support the empire's citizens and to facilitate interactions with other civilizations.

With a chaotic crisis about to unfold in the universe, who has the mind to care about diplomacy and trade?

Can your meager income compare to the safety of civilization?

No.

"promise."

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had given no further instructions, the Secretary-General turned and left the Imperial Study.

Just as she was about to step out of the Imperial Study, Yang Yu's voice rang out: "I've noticed you haven't been in the right state lately, so you should get some rest."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am in good health."

The secretary-general smiled and stepped out of the imperial study.

After the secretary-general left, Yang Yu looked at the questions about the Zerg in front of him, a sense of helplessness in his eyes.

The Zerg's strength has somewhat exceeded the Empire's expectations.

Moreover, these insects are incredibly fast in deep space; apart from the Empire and the Angels, almost no civilization in the entire universe can match their speed.

Scorching sun?

Apart from the high-ranking officials, none of the warships in the entire Lieyang civilization could even reach a speed of 150,000 kilometers per second.

How to fight against the Zerg?

The third-generation warships already had a speed of 15 kilometers per second, but they still couldn't outrun the Zerg, which shows just how fast the Zerg are.

Just as Yang Yu was thinking about the Zerg, Long Yuan appeared in the Imperial Study.

He did not interrupt His Majesty's thoughts.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Yu looked up at Long Yuan, who had appeared silently in the imperial study, and asked.

"25 days."

Longyuan stated a statistic.

"Heh~" Upon hearing this, Yang Yu chuckled and said, "This really makes me quite helpless. Summon the cabinet."

"promise."

Inside the Imperial Study, the voice of the Imperial AI Star could be heard.

Long Yuan then disappeared silently from the Imperial Study.

Since everything is alright, there's no need to linger in the Imperial Study any longer.

"Insects are such a headache."

Yang Yu thought of the Zerg, which was a real headache, but the Empire was separated by billions of light-years, and it would take a lot of time to attack.

Let these cosmic cleaners help the Empire eliminate some unnecessary civilizations.

Ideally, the Celestial Court of Merlo should be drawn into the war.

……

A dozen minutes later.

The cabinet ministers, who were preparing to leave work, were summoned by His Majesty. Instead of leaving immediately, they went to the Imperial Study.

The Star Empire also has its rules.

Officials are required to work eight hours a day. If you want to work overtime, that's your decision, and you'll get overtime pay.

Ask the Ministry of Finance if they pay overtime.

There is absolutely no overtime pay, since the empire does not require any officials to work overtime, so naturally there is no way to pay overtime.

As for not paying overtime wages to employees of state-owned enterprises and private companies in the empire, why don't you try not paying them?

They'll conduct a company-wide investigation and rectification.

"Your Majesty, the Zerg are coming on strong. The Empire has activated a Level Two state of war preparedness. The Cabinet has already handled the situation properly."

"The Empire is expected to enter Level 2 war readiness status at 18:30."

Prime Minister Long Zhi, assuming the Emperor had summoned them because of the Empire's state of readiness for a Level II war, spoke respectfully.

Their cabinet has been in meeting for half a day, and all preparations are complete.

When the order for Level II war preparedness was issued from the Imperial Study, they made corresponding adjustments.

The Ministry of Finance, as the logistics department, also immediately allocated a large amount of funds and logistical supplies, ready to be deployed to the war effort at any time.

"I know the capabilities of my ministers, and I have no intention of interfering in matters of war."

"The reason I summoned you all here is not to discuss the state of war preparedness at level two, but rather to discuss my family matters."

Yang Yu was well aware of these guys' abilities; they were all top talents of their respective eras.

He was very confident in entrusting the war to them.

Instantly.

All the ministers fell silent.

Even the talkative Finance Minister Ou Yang and Security Minister Ouyang Xiu fell silent.

It involved the emperor's family affairs.

Those of them who were subjects really didn't dare to speak up.

If you hear it, pretend you didn't hear it.

Even Grand Councilor Bai Qi dared not speak; so what if he was the Emperor's Grand Marshal?

If you don't dare to speak, then you don't dare to speak.

If you say something wrong, it could be fatal.

Seeing the reactions of the ministers, Yang Yu naturally understood what they were worried about.

Discussing the emperor's family affairs is a major taboo.

He tapped the table in front of him a few times, presenting a survey report to the ministers via a holographic screen.

After carefully reading its contents.

Bai Qi reacted quickly, immediately saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is eternal, and the Empire is immortal."

Once the other ministers realized what was happening, they too became parrots.

This news.

For the empire, this was even more exciting than any empire launching a war of first-class civilizations.

How many years did they wait?

"But the Secretary-General's current position is rather special..."

Education Minister Gong Yao frowned deeply, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping herself.

The Secretary-General's position is truly exceptional.

It's rather inappropriate that she's neither the empress of the empire nor the emperor's concubine.

These words were spoken.
