After Xiao Xiaojun and Xiao Xiaoling’s first birthday, Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing would be heading to the front lines, and the two old men had decided to take the two babies to Flowing Cloud Star.
Originally, the two old men were on the Emperor Star because of Xiao Xiaoling and Xiao Xiaojun, while the two babies were on the Emperor Star because of their two fathers. Now that the two fathers would leave the Emperor Star, the reason for the two babies to stay on the Emperor Star has weakened. Moreover, without Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing on the Emperor Star, it would be safer to go to Flowing Cloud Star, since that was the Luo family’s stronghold, and even some members of the Han family were there.
Although everyone was heading to different destinations, they all left on the same day, which allowed Luo Lingxing and the two babies to stay together longer.
This time, Xiao Xiaoling was very sensible and didn’t keep pestering Luo Lingxing to leave, probably knowing that his two fathers had important things to do.
“Daddy, home, early…” Little Ling tried his best to express himself with his limited vocabulary.
“Yes, Daddy will come back to see Xiao Xiaoling soon.” Luo Lingxing smiled affectionately and kissed Xiao Xiaoling’s tender white face.
Xiao Xiaoling immediately flashed a big, bright smile and returned Luo Lingxing’s kiss, which was wet with affection. He waved her little hands vigorously, looking incredibly cute.
Although Xiao Xiaojun was more mature than Xiao Xiaoling, he still waved his chubby little hands to say goodbye to his two fathers when he thought about not being able to see them for a while.
Luo Lingxing also gave Xiao Xiaojun a kiss, and then watched the two old men carrying the two babies board the private spaceship bound for Flowing Cloud Star.
“Let’s go too.” Han Junzhan put his arm around Luo Lingxing’s shoulder and pulled him into his arms. He was also reluctant to part with the two children, but this reluctance would soon turn into hatred for the zerg, and then into motivation to fight against the zerg.
If it weren’t for these damned zerg constantly harassing their country, he wouldn’t have needed to be separated from his two children for so long, and his lover wouldn’t have had to accompany him to the front lines.
zergs! Unforgivable!
“I can’t wait to have a big battle with the zerg. I wonder how much my strength has improved this time?” Zhang Xuan sat on the spaceship, somewhat eager to get started.
Many people share the same feelings as Zhang Xuan.
They trained on Planet Seyfert for several months. The new technique was completely different from the previous one. They even used the new technique to fight wild beasts there. The feeling was addictive after just one time.
Back when they first used their new abilities to fight against the beast, everyone was shocked and couldn’t recover for a long time. If it weren’t for Young Master Luo delivering a blow to the beast in front of them, they might have been injured by it.
Getting injured because of being distracted during battle would definitely be the biggest black mark on their lives.
However, that was only the first time. After that, everyone trained even harder and more diligently. The power that filled them with energy, which was somewhat similar to that of superhumans, made them excited and thrilled.
At the same time, they naturally admired and trusted Luo Lingxing even more, and were willing to follow him forever, taking his lead without question, since it was Luo Lingxing who taught them this ability.
Lin Mingying glanced at Zhang Xuan indifferently and said coolly, “Have you absorbed all those spirit stones?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan’s heightened emotions instantly cooled down, and his restless heart seemed to be forcibly suppressed.
Luo Lingxing had said before he arrived that no one was allowed to go to the battlefield until they had absorbed all the spirit stones and reached the final stage of their cultivation.
In other words, while others were fighting the zerg on the front lines, they had to continue training.
Although they were unhappy, no one would disobey Luo Lingxing’s orders.
Luo Lingxing had already told these people about the superhumans when they arrived. They knew that those superhumans had come to the Emperor Star with ill intentions and were likely to reappear in the future. They were the secret weapon to deal with those superhumans, so they needed to seize every minute to improve their abilities so that they could have a fighting chance when they encountered superhumans.
Every time Zhang Xuan and the others thought about how arrogant and unruly those superhumans were in the military, they felt a burning hatred.
That was their eternal shame. Just thinking about their helplessness in the face of those superhumans filled them with motivation to cultivate, because this time, they were determined to repay the humiliation they had suffered a thousandfold!
The zerg were attacking from the northwest, and the first to suffer would be the Sophie system on the northwestern edge of the Empire. Unless the Sophie system fell, the zerg would never be able to penetrate deep into the Empire. Therefore, apart from the Sophie system, there was no need to worry about other places for the time being.
Even so, everyone still attached great importance to the Sophie system, after all, it is the territory of the Empire, and other races were absolutely not allowed to invade it.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing quickly led the First Legion to the Sophie system.
“What’s the situation up ahead?” Lin Mingying asked the highest commander of the Sophie system garrison.
“There’s no immediate danger. The zerg attacks are never fierce, and they don’t linger in battle. They retreat immediately if they sense any danger,” the garrison’s highest commander replied truthfully.
“Not wanting to linger in battle?” Lin Mingying asked, puzzled.
Based on their past experience fighting the zerg, the zerg were almost always fighting to the death, so how could they possibly retreat?
“We are also puzzled. Generally speaking, the zerg do not retreat, and the current situation does not seem like they are determined to conquer the Sophie system. Rather, it seems like they are testing the waters,” said the garrison commander. However, he then felt that his guess was a bit unreliable and chuckled self-deprecatingly.
If the zerg truly understood the art of probing, they wouldn’t be unable to penetrate the human ranks now.
However, Lin Mingying took it to heart, even though the speaker meant no harm. He thought it was quite possible, since the zerg’s unusual behavior meant there must be some reason behind it. But what was the reason?
Lin Mingying truthfully reported what he had learned to Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing.
“We will go into battle tomorrow,” Han Junzhan calmly gave the order.
Why were the zerg acting so strangely? Why didn’t they just go and see for themselves?
“Yes, sit!” Lin Mingying accepted the order and went to inform them.
Apart from Zhang Xuan and others who needed to train properly in the rear, everyone else looked eager to get started. They had been training in the military for so long, and finally they could face the zerg again. This time, they were determined to make sure that the zerg never returned!
The next day, Han Junzhan indeed personally led the First Legion to the edge of the star system, which was also the place where the zerg most frequently appeared.
As expected, the zerg attacked again, and the First Legion piloted their mechs and excitedly charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle.
However, the zerg, who had previously relentlessly attacked humanity, seemed to be restrained this time. Instead of charging forward with all their might, they attacked with a sense of retreat, as if they would turn around and run away at the slightest sign of trouble.
However, the First Legion clearly had no intention of letting these zerg go so easily. They had only used less than 50% of their strength and hadn’t had their fill of fighting yet.
Therefore, just as the zerg were preparing to retreat, they discovered that their retreat route was completely blocked. Attacked from both sides, the zerg were completely powerless to resist and were quickly wiped out by the First Legion, leaving not a single one alive.
“Ugh, this is so boring. I haven’t even used my full strength yet, and these zerg are already gone. It’s really not satisfying,” a soldier complained on the military communication channel.
“Me too. I felt like I had just stretched my muscles and was ready for a big battle, but then all these little bugs disappeared. It’s really disappointing.”
“Come on, there will be plenty of opportunities for them to have their fill later, just don’t complain then.”
“How could that be? I feel full of power right now, and I wish I could wipe out all the zerg so that the Empire would never have to suffer from their influence again,” a soldier exclaimed.
“Yes, this time it would be best to attack the zerg’s lair directly and destroy their queen. That way, the Empire will never have to worry about being attacked by these hateful insects again.”
While everyone was chatting away on the general channel, Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were discussing things on their own private channel.
“These insects are indeed testing us, just as the Ying said. They aren’t particularly powerful, but the insect race don’t usually behave like this. It’s as if something is directing them from behind,” Han Junzhan said.
Could it be that the insect queen was directing things from behind? As we all know, the zerg were generally not intelligent. Their behavior was entirely based on instinct. The reason they attacked humans was simply because these humans lived on planets and humans could provide them with energy, so they instinctively attacked places where humans were.
However, not all zerg were devoid of intelligence. The zerg queen was said to be as intelligent as a human. If she were in charge of intelligence, it was not impossible that the zerg would engage in such probing behavior.
However, the zerg queen usually did not leave the insectoid planet.
Han Junzhan had informed Luo Lingxing about some information about the zerg in advance, so Luo Lingxing now had a good understanding of the zerg.
“Maybe something is really directing them from behind, but there’s no rush. We’ll find the reason eventually,” Luo Lingxing said. He had a feeling that the zerg’s unusual behavior this time was very likely related to the demon race.
But he hoped it was just a premonition.
However, sooner or later, they will have to confront the demons.
