"Yes, it's quite good. If I hadn't intervened last time, the Far Watcher Civilization would have been destroyed. With just over 2 billion warships and this kind of armor, they caused the Far Watcher Civilization a lot of trouble. But now they can't hold on any longer. It's time to send your fleet. If the swarm spreads, it will be a disaster for the surrounding lower-level civilizations."
"Don't worry, my fleet is already nearby. The swarm can't spread, and there are spatial fluctuations nearby, which means the human support fleet is about to arrive. Let's see what other tricks they have up their sleeves."
"You really have a lot of free time."
"Haha, don't you want to see it too?"
The Grim Slayer had exhausted all its energy orbs and antimatter, and the high-intensity spatial attacks had left it with very little energy. Finally, the last Grim Slayer was reduced to a giant firework in the starry sky by the Insect King's attack.
" Reaper, immediately split into ten groups and advance separately to block the swarm in all directions where they might disperse, preventing them from spreading to nearby star systems. Once they spread, finding them will be troublesome; a single swarm can destroy a low-level civilization," Wen Zhonghua commanded.
" Old Hu, why didn't the Great Star Region Civilization receive any news? We should have asked the Heavenly Peak Civilization for their communication methods last time, to save our fleet from being wasted."
"It's alright. We can use this time to train and familiarize ourselves with the system. Besides, we are now a member of the Galaxy Alliance. In the future, we should act like a high-level civilization, maintain the stability of the Galactic System, and protect lower-level civilizations. As long as we treat each other sincerely, I believe more civilizations will join the Star Ring Alliance. Even if the Galaxy Alliance is unreliable, we will still have our own strength to fight against the Insect Race and maintain peace in the region."
"I've noticed you're starting to talk like a leader, all you say are grand principles."
"That's perfect. It shows I haven't let the leader down. I believe the leader would have made the same arrangements if he were here."
"Sigh, I wonder where the leaders went. I miss them so much. That old man is so unreliable."
"Don't worry, we will definitely find a leader. The fleet is growing larger and larger, and the Star Ring Alliance will also grow stronger in the future. We need a leader to guide us."
The Reaper, traveling at 4000 times the speed of light, immediately split into ten groups, each with a billion ships, and an equal number of Stinger were embedded around Reaper.
Five days passed quickly, and the swarm was still cleaning up the battlefield, tearing apart its dead and severely wounded brethren. The Grim Slayer had killed at least 300 billion swarms and injured over 200 billion, with fewer casualties from the spatial attacks.
The number of swarms did not seem to have decreased; only low-level swarms had died, while high-level swarms had not suffered much loss. Due to the dense swarm, spatial attacks and the explosive energy of energy balls were blocked by the nearby swarms. The swarms in front became a shield for the swarms behind, and various attacks could not achieve the effect of area-of-effect damage.
While the swarm was feasting on its own kind, billions of Reaper suddenly arrived, surrounding the swarm from ten directions. The cannons with diameters of thousands of meters below the bow opened, and the space cannons were already filled with energy. Billions of spatial attacks rushed straight towards the swarm. These spatial cannon attacks were more than ten times stronger than the spatial attacks of the Grim Slayer, at least in terms of their attack range.
The silent spatial attack reached the swarm, like a divine sword, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the swarm. In one wave of attack, more than 200 billion swarms of insects were reduced to flesh and blood, including various high-level insects.
The swarm of insects, caught off guard by the sudden attack, immediately exploded, rushing towards the Reaper in all directions and forming several insect trails tens of thousands of kilometers long in the starry sky.
The second wave of the space cannon's attack was still charging up when the Ci Ma charged towards the swarm. The Stinger, which was about 500 meters long, was insignificant in front of the swarm, but they underestimated the Stinger's energy. The Stinger's impact was unstoppable, piercing directly through the swarm's bodies.
A large hole, over twenty meters long, was immediately left on the insect's body. For insects that are several thousand meters long, this small hole could not cause them any fatal damage.
However, the pain caused by the Stinger still stopped them in their tracks. They twisted their long, varied bodies in the starry sky. This time, the injured insects were not attacked by their own kind. It must have been that the Insect King sensed the threat and issued some kind of command to the insects.
The swarm did not launch an attack on Stinger, but continued to advance towards the Reaper. After completing its first sprint, Stinger immediately maneuvered to the vicinity of the swarm, because the Reaper's second wave of spatial cannons was about to be fully charged.
Suddenly, the swarm dispersed, their path disappeared, but their general direction remained the same; they simply changed their previously dense, advancing method.
"These beasts, they even know this stuff!" Wen Zhonghua cursed fiercely.
" Zhonghua, don't underestimate the wisdom of insects. They demonstrated remarkable intelligence even in Earth's past. Now, these insects are more than ten times more advanced than Earth's insects. Their intelligence is no less than yours or mine; it's just that they haven't received systematic education, and most of their actions still rely on instinct."
"No matter how advanced it is, space cannon, don't be stingy with energy, keep firing!"
"Yes, Chief of the General Staff. The second wave of energy for the space cannon is fully charged. Fire at will."
"Keep them pushing! Don't let a single one of these beasts escape!"
The second wave of space cannon attacks was significantly less effective than the first. The swarm was too scattered, and the space cannons had little effect, though they still managed to take the lives of tens of billions of swarms.
"Find a way to capture the Insect King, preferably alive!" Hu Yu said.
"General, this is a bit difficult," Gao Jianchuan replied.
"We must find a way. The insects we'll be dealing with in the future, even the Insect King level, will likely be the lowest tier. Studying them now will be more beneficial for our future attacks."
"Yes, I'll try to think of a way."
Reaper finished firing their second wave of spatial cannons, they had already mixed in with the Zerg swarm. The Zerg swarm could stop the Grim Slayer from advancing, but it couldn't stop the Reaper. The Reaper charged into the wolf pack like a hungry tiger.
"Activate the Space Barrier!"
The improved Space Barrier did not require formations. Countless spatial blades suddenly appeared in the space, killing many insects. The Stinger also Stinger back and forth in the battle. After the first wave of attacks, the computer had obtained enough data. Based on this data, the computer had built a database of various insects. According to this database, the Stinger adjusted its impact speed according to the characteristics of each insect, ensuring that the Stinger could enter the insect's body without exiting.
The Stinger inside the Zerg body quickly released a small antimatter bomb. Although the Insect Race's exoarmor was formidable, its interior remained a weak point. Not to mention antimatter bombs, even a few kilograms of C4 could take them down if positioned correctly.
The ferocious swarm of insects viciously tore at the Reaper, but no matter how sharp their teeth were, they could not cause any harm to the Reaper.
At this point, the two Insect King were each surrounded by millions of Reaper. The Reaper maintained a distance from each other's space cannons and then began to attack the Insect King in turn.
Although the space cannon still couldn't damage the Insect King, it was able to stop its movements. Under the attack of the space cannon, the Insect King was kicked around like a football.
