"Faster, faster!" Hu Yu clenched his fists.
The losses of the Wind Master were increasing every second. They tightly protected the remaining hundreds of thousands of Stealth Killer, using layers of interlocking armor to protect Stealth Killer from attacks.
18 million...
17 million...
15 million...
Almost there, almost there, only thirty seconds left, you have to hold on.
" Old Hu, at this rate, we can't hold out. The losses will be too great." Whether it was Wen Zhonghua or the generals, they could no longer withstand this harvesting speed, which was like cutting leeks.
"Don't worry about it, keep moving forward!" Hu Yu said firmly.
Two hours ago, the Chieftain's Fleet and the President's Fleet finally reached an agreement, allowing the new President, formerly the Minister of Industry, to personally explain everything. The threat from the human fleet was imminent, and if internal strife continued at this time, the Wind Star Civilization would likely suffer a huge blow.
"Industry, how's it going? Do you need my help to solve this problem?" Feng Jun asked with a slight smile.
"No need. With your fleet's current attack method, you'd be lucky if even one ship manages to break through the defenses."
"Alright, then I'll continue watching the show."
The planet of the Head of State Star, the origin of the Wind Star, underwent large-scale terraforming after the Wind Star Civilization civilization grew powerful, making its environment more temperate. Later, as the Wind Star Civilization acquired more habitable planets, this planet became the core and most important place on the Wind Star, where only the Sovereign and various dignitaries could reside.
At this moment, more than 20 million warships are gathered in low orbit around this planet, with some numbering as many as 20 million and others as few as 2 million.
"Gentlemen," the new head of state finally appeared.
I know you all have many questions, but due to the urgency of the situation, I can only give you a brief explanation. Our previous leader has betrayed his own civilization. He deliberately transferred most of the fleet out to allow Human Civilization to invade our Wind Star Civilization territory. Unfortunately, I discovered this too late. It wasn't until a few days ago that I realized the so-called S378 Civilization simply doesn't exist.
I cannot tolerate that the leader I trusted most had betrayed our civilization, but it is a fact that I personally killed the rebellious leader for the sake of our civilization. The ministers and the leader's personal guard behind me can testify to this. You can ask them about the details of the leader's rebellion afterward.
The human spy responsible for liaising with the former leader has been apprehended. Before that, he forged video signals and released them on multiple planets to mislead everyone. He also added addictive substances to our beloved Silo Liquor, causing almost all of our people to suffer from addiction. My heart aches; I hate myself for not discovering it sooner. This spy is none other than the Deputy Minister of Industry, Feng Jun, whom we all know. I was truly blind; he was someone I personally promoted. I am sorry to everyone, I am sorry to the people.
Our civilization is now facing an invasion by an alien race. According to wartime regulations, I will temporarily act as the head of state. Once the war is over, we will elect a new head of state. At this moment, regardless of the truth, we should unite, abandon our prejudices, and stand together against the common enemy.
If anyone were to instigate internal strife at this time, I have the right to suspect that they are also colluding with Human Civilization. I think everyone knows the fate of rebels, so what else is there to say?
"Industry, I don't believe the Führer would rebel. Even if he did, the case should be jointly tried by us before a verdict can be reached."
"Hmph, the human fleet is right outside. Do you expect us to wait years for your trial before making a judgment? By then, the human fleet will be hovering over our heads."
"Industry, I don't believe the Führer has rebelled either. It's clearly you who's behind this. I saw the video projection with my own eyes."
"As I said, that projection was designed by Feng Jun and is not credible. Besides, everyone knows that the Führer is raising Insect Race, and everyone understands that the Insect Race are something strictly prohibited throughout the entire galaxy, so it's not surprising at all that the Führer rebelled."
"Industry, even if the Führer rebels, you shouldn't be the new Führer. There are so many ministers, several of whom are more capable than you."
"You can ask them for their opinions. I was chosen by these ministers to enforce wartime regulations. Alright, that's enough. Anyone who wastes time will be guilty of treason. I now order you to immediately lead your respective escort fleets away. I'm going to organize a fleet to fight against humanity."
"Industry."
"How dare you!" The new leader waved his hand, and his personal guards immediately attacked the clan chief, killing him instantly.
"Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish. If we cooperate well, I will still acknowledge everyone's status. If there is any objection, that person will face the same fate and must disperse immediately."
At this moment, the clan leaders finally realized that their strength was insufficient to deal with this new leader. If they continued to fight, they would not have a good ending. They could only retreat for the time being and plan for the future. In addition, the human fleet was already close at hand, and the Wind Star Civilization did need a leader. As it seemed, this new leader did not seem to be colluding with humans. They could only let him continue to be the leader for a while until the human crisis was over.
The situation within the Wind Star Civilization has temporarily stabilized. The plight of the ordinary people can no longer be taken into account. Fortunately, no Silo Liquor was found in the fleet. The Wind Star Civilization has very strict combat discipline, and it is forbidden to drink Silo Liquor, a substance that causes loss of control, indiscriminately within the fleet.
The clan leaders dispersed, and the new leader immediately assembled the fleet. Forty million warships quickly completed their formation and preparations, heading towards the exit where the human fleet was about to arrive to intercept the enemy. At this point, it was too late to enter the passage and meet the enemy head-on; the only option was to intercept them at the exit.
12 million...
10 million...
8 million...
Ten seconds left.
5 million... Only 5 seconds left. The various bombs launched by the Wind Star Fleet from the passage exit are already right under their noses. If they advance another two seconds, the fleet will definitely collide head-on with these impenetrable attack streams and be blown to smithereens.
Four million—in just one second, a million warships were destroyed. The weapon density here was such that there was one every few dozen meters, and the laser net was so large that no matter how the warships dodged or maneuvered, they could not pass through without contact. The Wind Master fleet was like an ice block plunged into molten iron, suffering enormous losses every second.
"Disperse," Hu Yu commanded.
Command here has been completely handed over to Li Zhixiong. Only he can give precise command under such extreme conditions. The distribution map of the entire warship and the situation a few seconds later have already formed a specific image in his mind.
The remaining 4 million warships were immediately divided into four parts, each protecting one Stealth Killer. Losses of warships were not a problem; as long as the Stealth Killer remained, the operation would be considered a success.
To protect these few Stealth Killer, the pilots of the Wind Master fought with all their might. Finally, at the last second, the four squads of Wind Master simultaneously broke out of the defensive perimeter from four directions and entered the territory of the Wind Star Civilization. At this time, all the Wind Master combined numbered less than 200,000, and the four key Stealth Killer were intact.
