Captain Griss’s deep voice rose:
"My team has received orders from headquarters, we are about to charge the queen’s location, the queen is rapidly devouring the males to complete her evolution.
"Two minutes to prepare! Withdraw from the current battle sequence! There’s definitely more than one Spearhead Team, but the queen will undoubtedly be slain by us!"
Twelve team members quickly retreated, Yang Ming hesitated, then also chose to fall back.
A small assault craft sped toward Griss’s squad.
At the rear landing point, a large number of ships reformed, and the latest batch of supporting soldiers received orders to change their landing point.
Shortly after, the same battle instruction spread to all combat queues at the third landing point.
It was General Thomas who used a holographic projection to directly order these thirteen thousand soldiers.
General Thomas’s resolute face and firm gaze held the soldiers rapt.
"Your unit will shoulder the key mission of rescuing this Administrative Star, attacking the queen Mother Worm!
"Yes, you will charge into the Insect Swarm, opening a gap for the demolition team, there will be a large number of casualties, I cannot guarantee, how many of you listening to my voice now will ultimately survive.
"This is the only chance to save twenty-seven million citizens of the Empire!
"Emperor Star will be your guide!
There was a two-second silence near Position Three, followed by the furious roars of commanders at all levels.
The soldiers not yet engaged in battle trembled all over, while those who had landed turned and sprinted toward their original landing craft.
Hundreds of craft quickly formed an arrowhead formation.
With the roar of engines, the first fleet of ships launched toward the queen’s area.
The assault craft carrying Thomas’s squad shot into the sky, and according to the on-site commander’s arrangement, was placed in the center of the third batch of ships.
Yang Ming’s Mecha rose into the sky, standing steadily on top of the assault ship, temporarily sheathing the Light Sword.
He could see the entire battlefield.
The Insect Race quickly discerned the human military’s intent, and swarms of insects converged from all directions.
The Space Fleet began free-firing in outer space, adding huge casualties to the insects while greatly relieving the pressure on the charging fleet.
Dark black Light Bullets suddenly appeared.
A dozen or so landing ships at the forefront were blown to pieces.
In response, dozens of light beams bombarded the area where the Light Bullets had exploded, blowing long-range fire insects out of the ground.
Yang Ming watched quietly.
He could feel the Mother Worm’s growing terror, and the emotional turmoil of the Insect Swarm wanting to flee instinctively, yet being commanded by the queen to pounce forward.
Waiting for the moment to face the queen head-on.
Explosions continued in the sky, and as the assault fleet got closer to the queen, the Insect Swarm’s counterattack grew fiercer; the insect swarms from the other two cities had already converged in this direction.
Even with the support of the Space Fleet’s firepower, the assault vessels suffered heavy damage.
Twenty kilometers from the edge of the crater, a quarter of the assault craft were lost.
By the time they reached the edge of the crater, the total loss of assault vessels had reached forty percent.
But the remaining assault craft were still resolutely executing their assigned plans, ships quickly descended, massive numbers of soldiers gathered on the edge using Armored Hover Cars, jet packs, and maneuverable skateboards.
Ships that had delivered combat personnel immediately rushed to the edge position, directly constructing a defensive position with their hulls.
The battle continued to intensify.
Thousands of soldiers had already gathered on the edge, above the crater was the protective shield opened by the life of the Insect Swarm, and below was the densely packed and countless Insect Swarm.
Soldiers’ scalps tingled, and their hands and feet trembled.
But they were silent, awaiting combat orders.
A few enhanced warriors forming a Spearhead Team appeared behind the soldiers, each equipped with six high-performance Energy-Gathering Bombs.
The Fierce Ghost Mecha of White Ghost was prominently present.
A strong light shone in the center of the Insect Swarm, where the three-dimensional mark of the Emperor Star appeared.
Magnetic field interference pervaded everywhere, but the communication methods were not completely blocked, and the soldiers heard that command.
"The queen’s location locked!"
"Advance towards the Emperor Star! Tear through the Insect Race’s defense line!"
A few Armored Hover Cars charged out first, followed by hundreds more, with the assault vessels pouring fire downward.
Thousands of people launched a frontal charge on the Insect Swarm.
More than two thousand remaining soldiers formed a defensive fire line at the defensive positions.
Inside the Mecha, Yang Ming took a sharp breath, dropping a simple instruction into the squad’s voice channel:
"Follow me, and don’t fall behind."
The butterfly-shaped jet flames appeared again behind the Mecha, and the six-meter-tall Fierce Ghost Mecha led the way, crashing rapidly into the densely populated Insect Swarm.
The Light Blade unfolded.
A mushroom cloud rose in the center of the battlefield.
A large number of Insect Race scattered in all directions, and the majority of the residents of the three cities were relieved of their plight.
Of the thirteen thousand members of the assault group, only about six hundred of the five thousand two hundred soldiers who entered the crater managed to withdraw early.
And when the Imperial Military came to its senses, they found that the red Mecha had already returned to the flyer, speeding towards space.
There was no interception.
No orders were issued to shoot it down.
The soldiers watched White Ghost’s departure.
The White Ghost’s live stream closed five minutes later.
And what was left to the military was only the battle footage captured by the recording device carried by Captain Griss.
Only Griss made it to the end, witnessing the queen’s demise with his own eyes.
