Assembly

Although the Wolf Striker only appeared once, and Rowan had been extremely careful to keep it secret, the probes of advanced civilizations are everywhere, and if one is not careful, data may be left behind. Therefore, the image of the Wolf Striker has been included in the Alliance's database.

"This thing is a complete sham; we know nothing about its capabilities." Because there was no footage of the Wolf Striker attacking, it's just an image and a code name in the database.

"Maybe this is also Zerg; after all, from my perspective, their appearances aren't that different."

"Ha, you see, the difference in appearance when walking on two legs isn't that great."

"I'm warning you, don't insult people. At the very least, he can see the difference in height."

"..."

There were many ordinary crew members on the warship, whose resilience was certainly no match for that of a battle-hardened commander. Perhaps it was the long-awaited response that had finally arrived, or perhaps it was simply a way to release stress; they joked with each other and encouraged one another.

The Wolf Striker paid no heed to the whispers around them, nor were they worried about any resistance. After all, each warship carried more than just two Wolf Striker. Surrounding them were numerous specialized Spider War-Bug, and with the complex environment of the ship's cabin and the support of close proximity, they were more than capable of controlling the current situation.

Although the Wolf Striker are a stripped-down, basic version, they all have a set of vocal organs added to them in order to better communicate with other races and to avoid revealing too much technology.

"On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, we accept your surrender. Who is the captain?"

Since their appearance, the Wolf Striker have maintained a cool and ruthless demeanor, their long, black and gray hair moving without wind, giving them a very stylish look. However, these guys posed for a long time without saying a word.

Although they look very stylish, their entire bodies consist of just ordinary exoskeletons and protruding muscles, plus hair. Apart from their humanoid appearance, they don't look very advanced, and their fighting power doesn't even seem as strong as those elusive giant spiders.

Therefore, the outsiders didn't know whether they were ordinary Biological Weapon or so-called liaisons. In addition, there were no official records of the Zerg's surrender, so no one knew the Zerg's rules or procedures. Therefore, they dared not approach and speak rashly.

At this moment, the Wolf Striker suddenly spoke. His hoarse, deep voice, which suddenly appeared in the cabin where only whispers were being exchanged, startled the highly tense foreigners.

"This thing can actually talk; they might really be the Zerg."

"Shut up! They can understand you."

"I'm so far away, and I'm speaking so softly, what's there to be afraid of?" The crew member who spoke up said dismissively.

"Idiot, they're going the biological route. Who knows if they have anything to enhance their hearing or something?"

"Don't worry unnecessarily..." Although he said that, he still took his teammate's words to heart, muttered something, and then shut up.

The captain wanted to reprimand the officer, but fearing it would cause unnecessary misunderstanding, he simply turned and glared at the area where the voice came from, while simultaneously giving a hand gesture to his Adjutant beside him.

"These guys are really a handful," the captain thought to himself, then strode down from the bridge to greet the Wolf Striker, saying loudly, "I am the captain of this ship. May I ask how you two are addressed?"

"My name is Chi, and his name is Na. Since you have surrendered, you have half an hour to gather all personnel on this ship here. Afterward, we will conduct a full inspection of the ship. Anyone not present will be considered an enemy and will be attacked."

The Wolf Striker's words were very formulaic, yet they did not provoke any dissatisfaction from the foreign races. Firstly, as the defeated, they had no right to demand any particular attitude. Secondly, this was the Zerg's style, and not just now. According to records, during previous honeymoon periods of diplomacy and trade, the Zerg maintained the same attitude. If they hadn't actually possessed some real skills, the trading city would have gone bankrupt eight hundred years ago.

After understanding and confirming the Zerg's style, the captain didn't waste any time and immediately did as instructed. These guys are all shrewd; they know when to do what.

If the Zerg were in the position of a more normal civilization, they would definitely try to engage the other party in lengthy discussions for half an hour to extract information before proceeding with further actions based on the actual situation.

However, he dared not do so when facing the Zerg, because he couldn't tell whether these things were Zerg or Biological Weapon. Not only would he risk being rejected, but if they were the former, it would be somewhat better. If they were the latter, they lacked critical thinking skills and only followed the rules. If he said something wrong, violated some taboo, and was killed on the spot, he would have no recourse.

The captain's order was quickly given, but the captain was observing silently. He was now very close to the Wolf Striker, and it would be a waste not to take a good look.

But the more he looked at them, the more he felt that these two weren't intelligent Zerg, but rather Zerg Biological Weapon. After they finished speaking, they stood motionless like statues. If it weren't for the occasional twitch of their eyes, the captain would have thought they had entered standby mode. Although he didn't know if Biological Weapon had a standby function.

The alien forces quickly assembled. Space warfare differs from ground warfare. In ground warfare inside a planet, if one surrenders, one can hide in a secluded corner and then seize an opportunity to escape.

However, the operational range of space warfare has been locked down. The warships are only so big, and judging from the size of the Zerg Spider War-Bug, it's believed that no corner or alleyway can stop them.

Moreover, as a bio-technological Zerg, the Zerg's ability to detect living organisms is undoubtedly very strong, and it's impossible for the alien races to leave the warships and escape into outer space. With the speed of the escape pods, even without considering fuel costs, if the escape pods were to travel for half a month, the Zerg could easily catch up with them.

Therefore, the foreign tribes, with nowhere to escape, cooperated exceptionally well, and upon receiving the captain's orders, they all began to assemble in an orderly manner at the designated location. However, there were always a few exceptions, especially those who possessed the power to resist.

"Captain, should we follow the captain's orders and go to assemble?" The Knox Squad huddled in a room, where they had been confronting the Zerg units that had occupied the energy center.

But just as they were pondering that the strategists from nearly a hundred races would surely come up with a good plan, they received an order from the Coalition Army Commander, Conrads, to retreat. The ensuing series of changes left them bewildered, ultimately leading to the current situation.
