After eliminating the demons, Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing did not linger there, nor did they deal with the insects who had lost their leader. They considered this a small test for the First Legion and the garrison.
“It seems the Demon Race has indeed colluded with the zerg. In that case, the battle with the zerg will be even more troublesome. It would be best if we could eliminate the Demon Clan first,” Luo Lingxing said with a slight frown.
“The Demon Race,” Han Junzhan said softly, glancing back at the planet that was receding into the distance, “should indeed be wiped out.”
“Since there are demons here, the other demons are probably with the zerg. Maybe the demon leader is on the planet where the zerg live,” Luo Lingxing guessed.
“Junzhan, do you know where the zerg’s home planet is?” “I think…it would be best if we could directly invade that planet and wipe out all the demons. That would make it easier for our army to eliminate the zerg,” Luo Lingxing said after a moment of contemplation.
Although he knew the planet where the zerg lived would be dangerous, with his and Han Junzhan’s strength, there was probably no one in the world who could surpass them.
Of course, it wouldn’t be just the two of them going to the zerg’s lair. Zhang Xuan and the others should be nearing the end of their cultivation, so it would be a good opportunity to take them along to test their skills.
“Mn,” Han Junzhan replied, agreeing with Luo Lingxing’s suggestion.
So, after returning to the Sophie system, the two immediately went to Sophie Main Star and arrived at the place where Zhang Xuan and the others were cultivating.
“Boss, Young Master Luo.” Zhang Xuan and the others were very excited to see Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing, and they greeted them happily.
“How is your cultivation going?” Luo Lingxing asked proactively.
“Young Master Luo, I have absorbed all my spirit stones and am ready to go to the battlefield at any time.” Zhang Xuan stood at attention, his expression serious, but his eyes revealed an undisguised excitement and anticipation.
Luo Lingxing once said that as long as they absorbed all the spirit stones, they could go to the battlefield.
They’d been at war with the zerg for many days now, and had fought them countless times, but they could only watch and couldn’t get involved themselves. They were itching to get involved and wished they could fight the zerg for three hundred rounds.
“Young Master Luo, I’ve also finished absorbing my spirit stones,” Zhao Chongzhuo reported.
Several more people then stood up to report, while the other soldiers who were still a little short intensified their cultivation to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, fearing that they would be left behind during the operation.
“Very well, the reason I came here is to tell you that the next operation will require your participation. However, this operation will be extremely dangerous, and you could very well lose your lives as a result. If any of you are unwilling to go, I will not force you,” Luo Lingxing said, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Although that was what he said, Luo Lingxing had already made up his mind…
“We will definitely live up to Young Master Luo and Boss’s expectations of us!” Everyone replied in unison without the slightest hesitation.
Luo Lingxing’s lips curled up slightly, clearly having anticipated such an answer.
“Young Master Luo, where are we going this time?” “Are we going to the front lines?” someone asked curiously.
“This time we’re going straight to the zerg’s lair. Those superhumans have already colluded with the zerg. The zerg themselves are not intelligent creatures, but if there are superhumans commanding them from behind, their combat power is incomparable. To avoid putting too much pressure on the front line soldiers, we’ve decided to go to the zerg’s home planet and wipe out all the superhumans,” Luo Lingxing said calmly.
Since no one knew about the existence of the demon race, and those demons who came to the Imperial Star before were called superhumans, Luo Lingxing simply referred to them as superhumans as well.
“Those damned superhumans. They really have no good intentions. I never thought they would actually collude with those disgusting zerg. It’s outrageous!” a soldier said indignantly.
“We must completely eliminate them this time, otherwise the safety of the empire will be threatened.” Another person shared the same hatred and indignation.
“We’ve undergone so much training to eliminate those with superpowers. No matter how dangerous it is, we must wipe them all out. Even if it means sacrificing our lives for the country, it will be an honor,” a soldier said with a resolute expression.
His words instantly moved everyone present. They were all soldiers, whose duty was to defend the country, and they were always ready to sacrifice themselves for their country. So when they learned that they were going to the most dangerous zerg stronghold, they did not have the slightest thought or action of backing down.
Looking at the serious faces and determined eyes, Luo Lingxing couldn’t help but be moved.
“I’ll give you three days. Those who haven’t finished absorbing the knowledge, continue cultivating. Those who have already finished, consolidate your skills. After three days, we’ll head towards the zerg’s main planet!” Luo Lingxing said.
“Yes!” everyone responded enthusiastically, then seized every minute to continue their cultivation.
In the past, the Chinese Empire and the other two empires had considered completely annihilating the zerg to prevent future troubles, but none of the people they sent to the zerg home planet ever returned, which was enough to show how dangerous the zerg home planet was.
After that, the three great empires rarely sent troops to the zerg homeworld anymore, since in the eyes of the empires it was just a pure suicide mission, unless a very powerful figure appeared.
Although Luo Lingxing’s appearance greatly enhanced the military’s strength, the military still had no intention of sending anyone to the zerg home planet. After all, the dangers of the zerg home planet left a deep impression on them, and they dared not risk Luo Lingxing. If something really happened to Luo Lingxing, it would definitely be a loss for their empire.
The military granted Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing the highest command authority for their support mission to the front lines. Therefore, Luo Lingxing could go to the zerg home planet without the military’s approval and could make his own arrangements. The military probably never expected that they would be reluctant to send Luo Lingxing to the zerg home planet, but the other party would take the initiative to make this decision.
If the high-ranking military officials knew about Luo Lingxing’s decision, they might have tried to stop him from carrying it out, but unfortunately, they didn’t.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing arrived at the place where Zhang Xuan and the others were cultivating, only to find that everyone was already prepared and ready to go.
Luo Lingxing took out dozens of small jade bottles from his space storage and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone held the small jade bottles, and although they didn’t know what Luo Lingxing was going to do with them. They were still very happy, because jade artifacts were quite precious in the Empire.
Although this small jade bottle was not large, it was still quite valuable.
“There are three Spirit-Boosting Pills and one Healing Pill here. When you feel your spiritual energy is almost depleted, you can take one Spirit-Boosting Pill to quickly restore your spiritual energy. The Healing Pill is for treating your internal and external injuries, and I suggest you use it in critical moments.” Luo Lingxing explained the meaning behind giving them the small jade bottles. These pills were all the pills he had brought from his previous life. Although he knew how to refine pills, there were very few spiritual plants in this world, and there was no spiritual energy to support them, so even if he wanted to refine them, he couldn’t. Therefore, he could only take out this many.
However, what seemed like a very small amount of pills to Luo Lingxing was incredibly shocking to everyone else, but they quickly recovered and didn’t have any questions about it.
After all, after so many training sessions and cultivations, everyone was used to Luo Lingxing occasionally producing precious, rare, and valuable items.
However, just hearing the name told you how precious these pills were, and they would definitely keep them safe and would not use them unless absolutely necessary.
“Once we arrive at the zerg home planet, everyone should try to stay together and avoid acting alone. Also, try not to use spiritual power at the beginning. Use it only when other weapons are no longer effective. Remember, spiritual power is not inexhaustible, so use it wisely,” Luo Lingxing continued to instruct.
Everyone listened quietly and attentively to Luo Lingxing’s instructions, without anyone interrupting.
After explaining all the important points to note, everyone prepared to set off.
Because those who landed on the zerg homeland never returned, everyone only knew the location of the zerg homeland, but knew nothing about what was inside. Therefore, this trip was full of unknowns.
Before setting off, Han Junzhan had already arranged the tasks for the First Army Corps and the garrison troops.
Presumably because the demons that were transporting the zerg had been eliminated, after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the endless stream of zerg was finally wiped out, and the garrison and the soldiers of the First Legion were finally able to catch their breath.
The next wave of zerg was uncertain when it would arrive, so everyone was making the most of their time to rest while keeping a close watch on the outside of the galaxy, fearing that the zerg might suddenly appear and attack.
Regardless, they must firmly defend the Sophie system, the empire’s outermost system. Once breached, those damned zerg will advance unimpeded, harassing and harming more planets. The empire’s people would suffer greatly, with countless lives lost and heavy losses.
While they were on high alert for an attack from the zerg, Han Junzhan had already led everyone away from the Sophie system and out of the territory of the Chinese Empire aboard a special warship.
The zerg home planet was actually very far away from the three great empires. Otherwise, the three great empires would probably have fought to the death to completely destroy the zerg home planet. Keeping such a threatening planet next to humanity would probably make it hard for them to sleep soundly.
This was probably why the zerg set up their home planet far away from humanity.
Unlike humans, the zerg were not afraid of various rays and hazards in space simply because they could fly in space. Therefore, they did not need to consider factors such as air radiation when choosing a planet, just like humans did. In fact, they could choose almost any uninhabited planet in the universe as their base if they wanted.
However, because the zerg home planet was very far from the three great empires, it took a long time for the empires to send troops there. If they were unlucky, they might encounter cosmic storms or asteroid belts along the way, and they might perish in space before they even reach the zerg home planet.
Moreover, the zerg traveled a very long distance from their home planet to the Empire. They wandered through the universe, and when they got hungry, they would forage on the planets they passed by, or even eat the planets themselves. If the troops heading to the zerg planet were unlucky enough to encounter these zerg, they might have to engage in combat with them beforehand.
The warship carrying Han Junzhan and his group was relatively lucky. They didn’t encounter any of the aforementioned misfortunes. However, at their current speed, it would take at least another month to reach the zerg home planet, which was by no means a short time.
If a large number of zerg had previously traveled to the Empire, the defenses on the Empire’s perimeter might have been severely strained before they even reached the zerg home planet and eliminated their leader.
Therefore, they must find a way to reach the zerg homeworld as soon as possible.
