2641. The rise of Dark Nest (middle)

"You mean, Kilik Swarm just dropped hundreds of soldiers and insects on our planet, and then these planets were immediately no longer trustworthy?" Sefrans-Tann frowned.

"Joiner does not require a medium, spreads extremely fast, cannot be cured, and cannot be detected." Abathur emerged from an evolution chamber in front of him and said in a low voice, "Five planets, Joiner with an unknown number and unknown personnel. Problems in command transmission may occur in any link. They must be avoided."

"Is there any way to deal with it?" Sefrans-Tann asked.

"Human beings are fragile, primitive, and inefficient. They cannot cope with it. The only option is to destroy the mother nest." Abathur replied.

"Eliminate the brood of the initiator, then those Joiner will have no source of instructions, and they will return to their own lives?" Sefrans-Tann nodded slightly to express understanding.

However, Abathur sent out a burst of high-frequency sound waves that seemed to be mocking, and then said, "Destroy the brood and stop the spread, that's all. Every Joiner rebuilds the brood, the ultimate goal. Purification is inevitable. Joiner is already Kilik Swarm and cannot be changed."

Sefrans-Tann took a deep breath, and she began to feel extremely difficult.

Kilik Swarm, the ancient super civilization that once dominated the Milky Way, has almost crushed most of the intelligent creatures in the Milky Way with just this most basic racial talent. It's hard to imagine how powerful they would be when they were at their peak.

Sefrans-Tann nodded, stopped talking, turned around and walked out of Abathur's lair. She did not ask Abathur about his next plan, because Abathur was just a Evolution Master and he did not know how to fight.

How to eliminate this wave of Kilik Swarm is something she needs to consider.

After returning to his flagship, Sefrans-Tann received a communication from Chiss territory Governor Shien-Morabito, [I'm glad to see you leading troops here in person, Marshal Tann.]

Today Morabito is wearing a pair of sunglasses and a big-brimmed hat, looking more like a cowboy than Sector Governor.

"It's good that you were decisive in sealing the border." Sefrans-Tann said calmly, "Next, I will take over Chiss territory's defense fleet and fully respond to Kilik Swarm's attack."

[My suggestion is to start investigating from the fleet that Galactic Empire attacked.]Shien-Morabito Governor said, [The fleet is not particularly large, with about 20 battleships, but they disappeared in eastern border of Chiss territory. It's hard for me to imagine that Galactic Empire's fleet would leave our Chiss territory right in front of them but not launch an attack. I think this may be fishy.]

"Where did this fleet last appear?" Tann asked.

[Jorib Planet (Qoribu), a gas giant planet. This planet is very complex.]Morabito said.

"What kind of complicated method?" Tann frowned.

[Jorib Planet has recorded a total of 55 satellites, but this is only a small part. Because there are at least thousands of asteroids around the planet that have not been registered. Any one of these asteroids may have a nest of Kilik Swarm.]Morabito answered.

"So, it is possible that the Empire's fleet was ambushed by Kilik Swarm here." Sefrans-Tann nodded.

[I don't know.]Morabito spread his hands, [However, during this period of time, Chiss did not do anything. At least, that's what they did.]

He raised his hand and picked up a full-coverage helmet, and then said: [This thing has been tested by Abathur, and it can indeed isolate the biological wave signal of Kilik's nest. I suggest that you all wear this thing, otherwise, when your army lands on the planet, they may not stand for a few minutes before they draw their weapons and turn around to hit you.]

"I think the best way to face Kilik Swarm is to conduct a thorough Orbital Bombardment. Avoid landing operations." Sefrans-Tann said.

[Ha ha ha ha!]Shien-Morabito smiled and said, [Do you have hundreds of capital ships to ensure that the planet is completely destroyed? Moreover, the mother nest of Kilik Swarm will not be built on the ground waiting for you to explode. Besides, if you blow up the planet, can you really confirm that the brood has been destroyed? Landing operations are the only way to ensure the destruction of their mother nest - this is the suggestion given by Protoss.]

"Protoss? Will they participate in our battle?"

[Yes. High Templar Rassidan has returned to Protoss's territory to find reinforcements, which should arrive soon.]Shien-Morabito said, [Don't worry, Protoss has a natural aversion to these insectoid races. To be honest, I have never seen them being so enthusiastic about one thing.]

[Finally, I want to remind you something. The common sensors and radars used by our warships cannot detect Kilik Swarm. If it is a biological detector or a thermal energy detector, the positioning is very inaccurate, and the detection range is very short, which cannot meet combat needs. Regarding this, we can only wait for help from Protoss.]Morabito Governor said.

Sefrans-Tann nodded, his face solemn.

She has basically understood what she is facing. This mission is far more difficult than she imagined!

Three days later, a batch of specially made helmets were received from Chiss territory. After that, Sefrans-Tann personally went to Abathur and confirmed that these helmets could block Kilik Swarm's biowave signals.

Then, she led 20 battleships and 100 cruisers non-stop directly to Jorib Planet.

Jorib Planet is an extremely huge gas giant planet with a diameter of about 136,000 kilometers. The entire planet has a lavender tone. Moreover, several huge cyclones can be seen on the surface of the planet, and at least seven extremely fast cloud belts can be seen moving on the surface of the planet, indicating that its atmosphere maintains terrifying wind speeds at all times.

On the periphery of this violent planet, there are as many as 55 satellites, the largest of which is 3,700 kilometers in diameter, and the smallest satellite is more than 800 kilometers in diameter. On the periphery of the planet's equator, there are thousands of smaller satellites surrounding it, the largest of which is about more than 400 kilometers in diameter. Because these satellites or asteroids have a small mass, they all begin to gather toward the equator under the strong gravity of Jorib Planet.

"Carry out a thorough scan!" Sefrans-Tann stood on the bridge wearing a helmet and gave the order.
