Although the initial battle was successful, the overall situation was not optimistic.
Two swarms of insects have already passed through the first buffer zone and are heading towards the second buffer zone.
After this battle, there is some good news and some bad news.
The biggest good news is that the insect swarms have begun to gather. Except for the administrative stars in the area where the insect swarms are passing through, the other administrative stars in the empire are temporarily out of danger.
The bad news is that if the empire wants to stop these two swarms of bugs, it must show decisive victory in the next battle.
The empire is also actively making adjustments.
Under the mobilization of the Imperial Guard system, the empire's defense forces have gathered in the direction of the insect swarm's attack, the battlefield for sniping the insects has been selected, and the space near the battlefield has also been sealed off.
The empire used their most popular technology - the Pan-Planetary Gravity Barrier - to build a 'city wall' for the Imperial Star Circle, effectively blocking bugs from making large-scale jumps within the Imperial Star Circle.
In addition, all administrative stars in the Imperial Star Circle have activated minefield mode, all routes have been suspended, and the planetary defense system has been activated around the clock.
Fortunately, the network was not disconnected.
Information related to the first battle was also circulated within the empire. The highly anticipated hero of the empire successfully killed a sixth-level pseudo-queen. This was also publicized as key news, effectively reducing the panic of the people.
The Dongfeng has returned to the vicinity of Yang Ming, but Yang Ming has not returned directly to the Dongfeng.
At this moment, the Dongfeng has also been integrated into Li's command system, which means that Lu is operating behind the scenes. The two parties seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, some kind of... tacit understanding that Boss Yang, the party involved, is a little confused about.
In the lounge, Yang Ming held his watch and looked at the news that kept popping up on it, his expression a little dull.
Li: [Based on the information you provided, Li seems to be hinting at something.]
Yang Ming glanced at the small window of the rest cabin and quickly entered the text.
[I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. Li seems to have specifically said that the contemporary emperor does not have the authority to control her. 】
Law: [She mentioned the concept of supervisor, not master. This is also different. According to me, I am not ashamed to say that you are my master, because I am originally a mechanical life that lives in the master.
However, Ti.Li said that the person in charge of her was not the contemporary emperor. Is it possible that she was referring to the Sherman family?】
[If the Sherman family can handle her, then they need to develop Imperial Guard 2.0? Even now, the Sherman family still doesn’t know the origin of reason.]
Lu: [Yeah, but we can make a simple summary now.
First, Levi Sherman still exists, but his form of existence is unknown. Judging from the fact that Li is constantly breaking free from his restraints, the condition of the founding emperor should be very bad, or perhaps this is a trap created by Levi Sherman.
Intention to deceive us.
Second, the contemporary emperors have no way to have a direct impact on Li. There are many possibilities. For example, it is possible that the emperors of any generation are not descendants of Levi and have lost their genetic inheritance, etc.
I'm just giving an example, boss, don't take it seriously.
Thirdly, Li still has some scruples. The fact that she used this form of conversation with you, the boss, to reveal this information shows that she still cannot be completely autonomous, or in other words, she still cannot truly dominate the empire with one hand.】
Yang Ming smiled and raised his eyebrows.
With this little assistant here, why should you use him to use your brain?
Just chop the insects and that's it.
[Lv, do you think that by borrowing Li Dao from me, it might be possible for me to interact with Levi Sherman? 】
Law: [The probability is very high, boss, we still have to wait and see what happens, and it is best to be cautious.]
Yang Ming thought for a while and asked again: "How is your current condition?"
Lu sent two question marks.
Yang Ming added: [I mean, have you ever been expelled or suppressed? 】
Law: [I haven’t been expelled, but I can’t conduct network expansion within the empire. She is always watching me.]
Lu's reply paused for a few seconds, followed by a series of text messages.
Law: [Boss, you must be careful not to be deceived by reason. We understand each other. If it were for you, boss, I would also lie to the three teachers. We must beware of Levi Sherman. The last candidate, only
He is the real threat to you, boss.】
Lu: [The insect pests suffered by Luofeng are basically controllable. We will control the casualties to the minimum so that Luofeng can preserve its strength. Many small countries near the Luofeng Alliance are suffering from pests. We can use the insect tide to retreat later.
Attack these areas before the opportunity is available, so that a more stable affiliation can be established, and the public's backlash will be very small. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and dangers and opportunities often coexist.]
Law: [One more thing to note is that when the empire dealt with the sixth-order pseudo-queen, it used a new type of strange substance bomb. 】
Yang Ming wondered: "What is that?"
Lu sent a short piece of popular science: [Strange matter refers to a special case of quark matter. It is a fluid of up quark, down quark and strange quark. The birth conditions are relatively harsh, but when strange matter is produced, it forms a more stable subatomic form.
The structure will guide the surrounding matter in contact with the assimilation of strange matter, and is generally born in a higher atomic nucleus density environment, such as the core region of a higher mass neutron star.]
Yang Ming leaned back.
[Just briefly describe the effect.]
Law: [The Empire's strange substance bombs are an extension of the super magnetic energy bomb, which will assimilate part of the matter in a short period of time and then release powerful energy. The Empire used three strange substance bombs to defeat a false queen. ]
Yang Ming nodded: [Anyway, I just have to be careful with this thing.]
Law: [Yes, boss, this type of weapon is specially used by the empire to deal with insect swarms. Is it more effective to deal with human fleets, or is it more effective for ion beams to trigger the fusion reaction of the ship body? 】
【How is the hunting operation going? 】
Lu sent an emoji: [^_^Everything is going well, Miss Hera's condition is relatively stable, but boss, I noticed that the Zerg seem to have secretly increased their troops in your direction.]
Yang Ming smiled calmly.
After the battle with the false queen, he gained a lot more confidence.
Fighting with insects is endless fun.
He looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour for the military meeting. Yang Ming thought about it and decided to go back to the Dongfeng.
Yang Ming still wanted to let Posuo appear on the scene and announced in a high profile that she was now his thug.
…
The first star of the Free United States, in the dock of the spaceport.
In a large merchant ship that was ready to set sail and escape at any moment, Forerunner No. 4 was lying on the snow-white thighs of two Guel sisters, holding the game controller, wearing virtual glasses, and moving his fingers as fast as a phantom.
Soon, cheers came from outside the cabin.
Forerunner No. 4 took off his glasses and smiled calmly.
Although he cannot be like the big brother of White Ghost, who directly grabs a lightsaber more than ten meters long and rushes towards the insect swarm;
But he can use his network to get a set of remotely controlled mechas used by the military of the United States of America, and follow the mecha group to fight together.
With his talent and strength, if he can't become an ace mecha operator, he can still achieve the title of elite.
Even if you destroy four mechas in one afternoon.
He threw the glasses and handle aside, couldn't help but yawned, frowned and asked, "How many people died?"
Two beauties with slender bodies and a bit weird looks but generally in line with normal people's aesthetics. Their main purpose is to be a close companion. You can't count on them for this kind of business.
A butler wearing a tuxedo immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and reported:
“Currently, eleven border administrative stars of our Free United States have suffered from insect infestations, and 2.7 billion people have been slaughtered.
"However, now that the insect swarm has begun to join forces and is about to collide head-on with our army, the number of civilian casualties should not be too high."
"How long has it been and there are so many?"
Forerunner No. 4 frowned tightly: "What's going on with my brother White Ghost? Is there any battle report?"
"Yes, your eldest brother just killed a sixth-level pseudo-queen."
"Killed yourself?"
"Yes, according to various intelligence reports, he single-handedly attacked the pseudo-queen and successfully helped the imperial fleet resolve the crisis."
Forerunner No. 4 laughed dumbly: "Forget it, there is no way to compare with this kind of inhuman creature... There is no need for him to compare."
The housekeeper smiled and said worriedly:
“This is actually a bit abnormal.
"The Sherman Empire is an evil hegemonic country. How could their emperor and the Sherman family elite who control the country tolerate an outsider and gain such great prestige in the empire?
"Now, the White Ghost's influence has reached a level that can affect the destiny of the empire.
"What's even more frightening is that the White Ghost has extremely high prestige among low-level officers, ordinary and reformed soldiers in the empire.
"According to normal logic, the empire can no longer tolerate him."
Forerunner No. 4 looked thoughtful, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "The empire may feel that the white ghost does not dare to betray them."
"What's so daring about this?" the housekeeper expressed surprise.
"Just like me," Forerunner No. 4 sighed, "You look at my appearance, but in fact, I am just being the dog of those old guys, obeying their orders, and then biting their hostile parties, although I
I have also made a lot of efforts, such as using various means to cannibalize the descendants of those old bastards, but for now, I am also passive."
The butler murmured: "If this is your mission, your eldest brother overthrows the empire and builds a dictatorship by himself, or dismembers the empire and becomes king himself. Wouldn't it be better to take care of those who arrive in the galaxy in the future?
family?"
"What you said is correct."
Forerunner No. 4 clicked his tongue:
"Forget it, don't think about this kind of problem. Although he is my eldest brother, I can't help him for no reason. He and I also have a certain competitive relationship. Let's see, the empire is the most suspenseful in this scene.
"
"Well, please pay attention to rest."
The butler bowed his head in response, turned around and walked to the secret door in the corner.
Forerunner No. 4 stretched out, leaned into the arms of the two Guel girls, and showed an intoxicating smile.
Can fighting and killing be called life?
This is what he calls life.
…
Sherman Empire, the highest level combat meeting of the Imperial Military Department.
The format of the meeting is still virtual projection.
The three supreme commanders sat at the main seats, and behind two long tables, more than thirty imperial generals, including Yang Ming, sat.
"...The above is the summary meeting of the first battle."
Lieutenant General Thomas threw away the virtual speech in front of him and said seriously:
"In this battle, we got to the bottom of the Zerg race. The combat capabilities of the sixth-level adults are similar to those recorded in the empire's historical data. The overall difficulty of the war is controllable.
"There is nothing abnormal in the Imperial Guard system. She controlled a total of 23,000 warships on two lines at the same time without any mistakes.
"I suggest that the Imperial Guard 2.0 system should remain in standby mode as a supplement."
All the generals nodded.
If the Imperial Guard system works properly, their pressure will be reduced a lot.
Lieutenant General Thomas performed a military salute, lowered his head and took his seat.
"Major General Hanton," an old general called Yang Ming's name, "During this battle, you seem to have some unpleasantness with the Imperial Guard system?"
Yang Ming clicked his tongue: "I'm a little unruly."
A group of old people all smiled.
Yang Ming said sternly: "The Imperial Guard system didn't have my data before, but now it should have it. I can single out the sixth-level pseudo-queen. She should think that seeing is believing. Next, I hope she can give me the correct information."
Instead of letting our soldiers sacrifice in vain."
"Major General Hanton," a marshal said slowly, "I can understand your sympathy for the soldiers, but in the face of the insect tide, each of us here is mentally prepared to die for our country. Our soldiers
The same is true for them. Your remarks are actually a kind of humiliation to them."
"Sorry," Yang Ming said apologetically, "I just wanted to minimize the casualties."
"Well, please follow the command of the Imperial Guard system later."
"yes."
Yang Ming simply agreed.
The meeting started with regular topics, which was nothing more than to prepare the generals to take over the war situation at any time. They are the Imperial Guard. After the Imperial Guard 2.0 cannot work properly, they must support the third pillar of the war situation.
Only Yang Ming present knew how stable the existence of the mechanical thinking body was.
At the end of the meeting, Yang Ming took the initiative to raise his hand.
"What's wrong, Major General Hanton?"
"I think it's time to introduce my assistant to you."
Yang Ming said seriously:
"First of all, I must publicly apologize to the empire. The Valkyrie that the empire has been looking for has actually been on my ship.
"A large part of the reason why I have been continuously improving my strength before is due to her selfless dedication to me.
"Now, I have been able to completely suppress her and make her my fighting partner."
While speaking, Yang Ming made a gesture, and the projection equipment immediately adjusted its angle.
A slim figure appeared behind Yang Ming. Her outline gradually became more substantial, and her face gradually became more perfect. Her long, disheveled hair slowly fell down, and she had a soft and lovely face that seemed to have the words "Keep away from strangers".
The group of generals looked at each other.
"Let's get to know each other formally."
Yang Ming smiled and said:
"This is my fighting partner, the ancient god's life form Valkyrie Posuo. Likewise, she is also the only normal result of the Faya Civilization's ancient god project team.
"And I am an ancient god's life form that was extended from her genes and completed the evolution of life levels step by step, and finally became equal to her.
"The two of us are following Faya's orders to help the empire survive the current second disaster, and will exert all our strength in this natural disaster. At the same time, the Queen has maintained absolute vigilance towards us.
She will attack us first to ensure that we do not pose a threat to her."
The generals blinked and groaned.
This matter is not close to their area of responsibility.
They were all warship commanders.
What Faya, what Ancient God Project Team...
The three supreme commanders each nodded, and the old man in the middle asked: "Major General Hanton, you want to use us to report this matter to the higher-ups of the empire, right?"
"Yes," Yang Ming said, "Bosuo and I are, well, high-level infantrymen. This is the evaluation given to us by the Imperial Guard system."
"Okay," the three supreme commanders showed kind smiles, "We will report this news to the top. The empire can have an additional powerful combat force. This is really good news."
"Bisha, go back first," Yang Ming said warmly.
Whistle on the side bowed her head and saluted Yang Ming, which was enough to give Boss Yang face, and then turned around and walked away.
"Um," Lieutenant General Thomas asked in a low voice, "were you modified with her genes?"
"You can say that," Yang Ming nodded.
Lieutenant General Thomas frowned and stared at Yang Ming: "Then she can be regarded as your biological mother to a certain extent?"
Yang Ming:……
If you don’t know how to chat, don’t make any noise!
Yang Ming thought that these generals would ask how to explain to the public the tragedies that Posuo had caused in the empire, but unexpectedly, the generals did not consider these issues at all.
The empire has no concept of human rights or human rights at all.
After turning off the projection device, before Yang Ming could get up, he heard suppressed laughter from the side.
He glared at Wu Sua, who immediately suppressed his laughter and looked at Yang Ming with loving eyes.
"Good baby?"
"I!"
Yang Ming flew forward, his body floating backwards, leaving a series of laughter in the Dongfeng corridor.
