Due to its immense mass, the Gold Battle Star can currently only travel at Level 3 Warp, approximately forty times the speed of light. It takes about three years to travel from the Solar System to the Deer Horn Star System.
Furthermore, when approaching the Deer Horn Star System, it must shut down the warp engines and use a Planet Engine as camouflage, so the actual time to reach the Deer Horn Star System will be delayed by about a year.
Four years later, Deer Horn Star System.
Deer Tail Star, the only place within the Deer Horn Star System where residents of the Ice Sea Civilization live.
Those planets near Antler Star, threatened by the Zerg, had no choice but to evacuate and struggle to survive here.
Deer Tail Star still has a population of three billion.
At its peak, this Star System once housed over three hundred billion people! During the decline of the Black Sea Civilization, the population sharply decreased to one hundred billion.
Later, as the Black Sea Civilization split, over ninety percent of the population migrated with the branch civilizations. After the Constant Star Giant Beast occupied the Antler Star, more and more people left, leaving only those who remain now. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel⟡fire.net
Recently, the frequency of Zerg appearances in outer space has increased, causing panic among the remaining population.
"I heard there are already many Zerg on other planets; this is the only safe planet in this Star System!"
"But that’s just for now. The Zerg will soon attack!"
"Doesn’t the army go to eliminate them every year?"
"What’s the use? A relative of mine is in the space forces, and he’s already informed me to leave here as soon as possible. The Zerg can’t be completely eradicated?"
"Because the root isn’t on the planet, but inside the Constant Star!" That person said, "Think about it, the Zerg on the planets can be destroyed with our military strength. Yet, they keep spreading!"
"Because Zerg are constantly being bred inside Antler Star, they are driven by higher Zerg and can only survive on nearby planets."
"Can the Zerg inside the Constant Star be resolved? No! If it could be resolved, the Black Sea Civilization wouldn’t be in such a dire situation as it is now!"
Upon hearing his words, the crowd became even more terrified. Back when the Zerg crisis first broke out within the Black Sea Civilization, no one took it seriously, believing their military strength could quickly eliminate the Zerg.
In reality, they indeed had the upper hand initially, but every battle allowed some Zerg to escape. They hid everywhere and evolved within primitive Star Systems.
When they reappeared, both their strength and numbers were significantly enhanced!
Time after time, after a thousand years of war, not only did they fail to eliminate the Zerg, but they also faced disintegration themselves.
"We can’t stay here any longer!" People began to realize that staying meant certain death.
"We must leave Deer Tail Star, leave the Deer Horn Star System!"
"The Ice Sea Civilization should dispatch ships to help us leave!"
Ordinary ships are absolutely incapable of leaving here because all Warp Speed Battleships are now controlled by the Blue Star Civilization, and their sub-light speed spaceships are merely targets for the Zerg in space.
The Blue Star Civilization initially responded to them, "Everyone, rest assured. We will eliminate the Zerg here and ensure everyone’s safety."
This statement did not satisfy the residents here.
They continued to protest and even took to the streets to march.
"The Blue Star Civilization should dispatch Warp Speed Battleships to help us evacuate!" People on Deer Tail Star cried out, and they had relatives and friends in other Star Systems who were also appealing.
Even the Sea Beast Civilization, Fishman Civilization, Conch Civilization, and Sea Demon Civilization sent messages to the Blue Star Civilization, requesting help to transfer their former people.
Hence, the Blue Star Civilization announced again, "We have long devised an evacuation plan. A wandering planet currently in transit will soon pass through the Deer Horn Star System. All residents will travel with this planet, become its inhabitants, and head to a new home!"
They also announced the transfer time and location, including the position of the wandering planet.
Upon seeing this, the residents of Deer Tail Star confirmed that the wandering planet had indeed arrived at the edge of the Star System. The sounds of protest gradually faded away, and everyone prepared to migrate with the wandering planet.
Of course, this news couldn’t be hidden from the Zerg.
Just as humans have been probing Zerg intelligence, the Zerg have also been probing theirs. They have various disguised Zerg spies, such as Insect Men, or they directly let special brood mothers hatch insects identical in biological characteristics to spy on intelligence.
The wandering planet coming to the Deer Horn Star System and the plan to take everyone away was already known to the Constant Star Giant Beasts of the Antler Star Star System.
"They’re planning to escape?"
"How can we let them escape so easily? We must annihilate them!"
"That’s right, our mission is not only to devour the Star System but also to completely wipe out all intelligent life!" This mission is inscribed in the genes of the insects, and every insect is committed to it.
This is why the Zerg never hide in remote Star Systems to develop but insist on waging war with one civilization after another.
"Wandering planet?" The Lord of Light awakened from slumber, "Excellent, each of my Split Bodies needs a planet to feed on. The wandering planet and everyone here are mine!"
It continued to lie dormant within the Constant Star, awaiting the opportunity.
And the wandering planet disguised as the Gold Battle Star finally entered the range of the Deer Horn Star System.
