Inside Great Xia's Command Center at Kona Satellite Base.
"Of the three Space Wormholes, one has been destroyed. The other two have solidified, and the demolition missions to collapse the surrounding rock have been carried out."
The communications soldier projected an underground cross section of the Third Planet onto the Main Screen. Three dark red dots lay roughly two thousand meters below the surface.
One had gone dark, while the other two were surrounded by vast stretches of collapsed rock.
After Great Xia and the Kona Civilization detected spatial fluctuations at the same time, each had dispatched specialized Burrowing Robots.
Before the first Space Wormhole could finish solidifying, both sides had delivered nuclear bombs to the target area, blasting it apart along with the surrounding rock.
The still-unstable spatial passage collapsed on the spot under the impact.
The other two wormholes, however, had already solidified completely. Even when explosives detonated nearby, their spatial fluctuations showed no noticeable change.
Great Xia could only settle for the next best option, repeatedly collapsing the rock near the wormhole exits to trap the Demon Clan underground.
"At present, the collapse radius in both blockade zones exceeds three kilometers."
The communications soldier brought up the live data.
"The Kona Civilization has deployed twelve sets of vibration sensors around the two zones, and we've also left sixty First-Generation Burrowing Robots in place."
"As soon as the Demon Clan starts clearing passages, both sides will detect it immediately."
Zheng Jinren stared at the cross section for a moment.
The Third Planet had already come under the joint control of Great Xia and the Kona Civilization, but its surface area far exceeded Blue Star's, and sizable Demon Clan forces still remained in some regions.
Wiping them out completely would take at least six months.
"Keep them blocked for
