"In order to deal with the increasingly serious situation in the universe, Starfleet Headquarters and the Presidential Palace jointly planned a combat exercise yesterday."
"For this exercise, an elite fleet from the Interstellar Fleet Headquarters will act as an alien fleet. They will launch a surprise attack when the Earth is unprepared. This is to test whether the Central Guard Force can hold on until the Interstellar Fleet's support arrives when they are attacked by a powerful enemy."
...
"As this exercise was ordered by Marshal Lin Fan to be as close to actual combat as possible, although there were no deaths, the number of injured reached as high as three thousand!"
"In this regard, Marshal Lin Fan said to bleed more during normal times and cry less during wartime!"
...
Myers Galaxy Group, Starfleet Headquarters.
Lin Fan, who was watching the news on Earth in his office, was suddenly dumbfounded.
'Is the old man trying to push all the blame onto me?'
'Also, what the hell is' bleed more during normal times and cry less during wartime '… Shouldn't it be' sweat more during normal times and bleed less during wartime? '
'Hmm … Since the old man is trying to push the blame onto me, I might as well do this exercise once a year!'
'Of course, I won't give the old man a warning in advance next time … Yes, as the aggressor, the alien civilization must kill the Federation President as their primary goal!'
Soon, the office was filled with Lin Fan's malicious laughter …
-----
At the same time, Wills Super Star Cluster.
The current situation of the Zergs was not looking good. Initially, taking advantage of the fact that Ipnos was heavily injured, the Zergs had to concentrate their forces in one place while Alya's forces were spread out to take down more than ten star systems and surround the Purgatory Legio II.
However, although Alya used her military advantage to take down a large number of territories, the problem was that she could not defend them at all.
Every time the enemy's army arrived at a starfield, they could easily slaughter all the insectoids in that starfield. Furthermore, these Purgatory creatures could directly feed on the insectoids and did not need any supplies at all. It was simply too much.
This made Alya's strategic encirclement ineffective. Instead, she was constantly providing nourishment for the enemy …
Originally, Aliya thought that this was just a battle of attrition. After all, although she lost every battle, she still brought some losses to the other side. It didn't mean that she was defeated without any losses.
Who was better at a war of attrition than the insectoids?
For example, I control starfields 1-10. You take out starfield 1 and then go to starfield 2. However, when you take out starfield 2, you find that starfield 1, which you took out before, is now full of Zergs.
If this continues, will you collapse or not?
As for losing a large number of soldiers in every battle?
Unfortunately, to Aliya, the loss of hundreds of billions of combat bugs was no different from the loss of a single descendant of the Purgatory Legion. Not to mention, Aliya had an entire Supercluster behind her that could provide her with endless reinforcements.
However, after Ipnos recovered from his injuries, everything changed.
Under the leadership of Ipnos, no swarm could stop the advance of the Purgatory Legion, even if it was only for a short while.
This created a very dangerous situation for Aliya!
As long as a high-tier Zerg King went to the front line, it would be difficult to escape death. Even if it hid behind countless swarms, it would be useless!
Ipnos took the head of the Zerg King in the sea of zergs as easily as taking something out of his pocket!
It was only then that Aliya realized in horror that not only had Ipnos recovered from his injuries, but he had also become stronger!
Yes … Ipnos, who was originally at the peak of Tier 7 and only needed an opportunity to take another step forward, did not expect that this serious injury would be the opportunity he needed.
In front of a Level 8 creature, the Insectoids … Not to mention the Battle Insectoids, even the Advanced Insectoids and King Insectoids could not pose any substantial threat. It was like a wolf charging into a flock of sheep, unstoppable.
In just a year, Aliya had lost nearly 20% of her Zerg Kings. Later on, Aliya did not dare to send Zerg Kings to the front line to command. She could only use less efficient long-range commands to carry out battles!
Now, Aliya only had three Star Fields left in the Wills Super Star Group. They were the Star Field where Chels was located and the two neighboring Star Fields.
As long as any of the two Star Fields near Chels was lost, Chels would face the crisis of falling.
Once Chels fell, the door to the Kempinia Super Star Group would open, and Aliya's long-term war of attrition would be completely ruined.
Therefore, Aliya urgently needed to drag the Federation down with her.
Of course, Aliya did not doubt that this would be achieved. After all, half of the Federation's upper echelons were already under her control. It was only a matter of time.
"Hmm?"
While Chels was deploying the Zerg defense at the front line, a message came from the Zerg's mental network. Aliya sensed it and knew that it was the Voidslayer controlling Eide calling her.
"I just contacted it a few days ago. Is it done?"
With that in mind, Aliya immediately established a connection with the Zerg's mental network.
"Queen Aliya, we have failed!"
...
Aliya was dumbfounded by this opening statement.
Was she under too much pressure recently that she was hallucinating?
"Say that again?"
"We have failed. The Federation has mastered the technology to accurately locate us. All of our kind have been controlled!"
"That's impossible!"
Aliya, who finally knew that she was not hallucinating, roared in disbelief.
"Queen, now that I have been captured, the only reason I can talk to you is because the Federation's President, Lin Zhen, asked me to pass a message to you. He purposely removed the blockade on the Zerg's mental network …"
"He … What does he want to say? Is he mocking me? "
Aliya gritted her teeth.
"No, he asked me to pass a message to you. It's time for us to have a good talk!"
Aliya was suddenly stunned. These words were completely out of her expectations. Originally, she thought that Lin Zhen, who was in control of the victory, would mock and ridicule her. She never imagined that he would say such a thing.
Have a good talk? What does Lin Zhen want to talk about?
"Tell Lin Zhen that I will use the thing they gave us during the negotiation. The time will be tomorrow!"
"Yes, Queen Aliya!"
Well, no matter what Lin Zhen wanted to talk about, it seemed that this was her last chance to pull the Federation to her side.
Aliya looked at the tragic situation in front of her through the mental network. She no longer hesitated and agreed.
In order to achieve her goal as soon as possible, she even chose tomorrow …
