Abyss Solo-Chapter 568 - 248 Sacrifices_2

Leaving Saka Star was the wise choice.

When such a catastrophe occurred, an Administrative Star like Saka, having lost most of its value and population, was easily abandoned by the Empire.

Stars on the edge of the galaxy began to flash in succession.

Mo Ge didn’t realize what that was at first and continued to daydream.

Could there be a fleet suddenly warping in front of him?

That seemed unlikely, as the planet’s gravity would create an interference field that, according to those old scientists, only some more advanced ships could warp straight to the planet’s synchronous orbit.

"Chief," a trembling voice asked from an officer holding a laser rifle, "Will we, will we die?"

Mo Ge put his hand around the officer’s neck, pulled twice through the thin space suit with force.

"Pull yourself together, stop talking about death."

Mo Ge’s voice simultaneously rose in several communication channels.

He thought for a moment; based on the information he had seen before, he must now inspire the ’warriors.’

But...

Mo Ge looked to the right.

Among these more than one hundred ships, the most powerful was a police patrol boat, followed by the close-defense guns of merchant ships and the assorted laser cannons temporarily brought up.

Their combined firepower was less worth than a kilometer-class main battleship.

"Our main task later will be to fire with all our strength to attract the attention of the Insect Swarm and then draw them as far away from the main cities as possible."

"Boss!"

A trembling shout came from the cockpit:

"In front! Above... The bugs are coming! They’re all over the radar!"

Mo Ge’s hand shook, dropping his electronic cigarette onto the deck, his gaze piercing through the transparent protective shield of the deck and looking up at an angle.

His pupils suddenly constricted.

Space became even darker.

A cloud!

A cloud that seemed capable of enveloping the planet directly bore down upon them!

Insect Swarm!

Nearly ten million Fourth Rank Insect Swarm!

In front of this cloud, the more than one hundred ships seemed like paper boats in the hands of children, fragile, thin, easily destroyed!

It felt as if his space suit stopped supplying oxygen, and Mo Ge’s breathing became unbearably heavy.

"Some ships are fleeing!"

"Those cowards!"

Mo Ge snatched a laser cannon in front of him, aimed the barrel upwards, took a deep breath, and regardless of the fact that he was not the highest rank in the command system, pressed the firing button.

A string of Light Bullets shot into space, and he screamed hoarsely:

"Fire! Shoot! Draw them towards the sea!"

Sporadic Light Bullets rushed towards the swarm.

Space suddenly lit up, countless Light Bullets filling Mo Ge’s sight.

His trigger finger trembled slightly, and then he pressed down firmly on the trigger, wildly shaking the handle of the laser cannon.

Without any further commands, this makeshift fleet pushed to full power, desperately fleeing towards the atmosphere.

People on the ground looked up to see that the sky had added a curtain of light, which quickly dispersed, spreading across the whole sky and filling everyone’s view.

After the curtain of light, the Insect Swarm arrived.

The unfurling front lines of the Insect Swarm converged into hundreds of Insect Race battleships.

The outermost adult bugs used all their energy to put up protective shields, using these shields and their own shells to block out the waves of heat caused by high-speed friction.

The bugs didn’t bother with the more than one hundred ships falling toward the sea.

They charged straight towards ground areas where biological energy was most concentrated, locking onto human cities on the surface.

Eliminate the hostile race!

Slaughter the hostile individuals...

...

Vice Admiral Thomas was beyond furious.

The powerful fleet he commanded was exterminating the strongest of the Insect Swarms.

Admiral Thomas issued orders calmly, but his clenched fists, the bulging veins on his neck and forehead, all showed he was like a keg of gunpowder about to explode.

Those damned fools!

The conscienceless New Federation!

The parasitic maggots of the Empire!

Those old fools on the Emperor Star indulged in the dream of the strongest empire in the Milky Way but refused to face the threat from the Challenger, resulting in today’s combined natural and man-made disaster!

Just now, Admiral Thomas received the latest intelligence.

Most of the Insect Swarm had been sniped. Seventy percent of the battle areas were confident they could eliminate their targeted swarms without a heavy price;

a small portion of battlefields would need guerrilla warfare, buying time to preserve their forces.

The Military Department had made the greatest effort in the shortest time.

They not only needed to eliminate the large swarms activated by the New Federation but also had to ensure that the Empire’s military strength would not suffer too much damage to avoid greater trouble later.

This was the wisest choice.

The high-ranking military officials like Thomas quickly reached a consensus in a very short time.

The cost of this decision was that six Administrative Stars would confront the Insect Swarm directly.

Although after calculations and selections, the sacrificed Administrative Stars were those without potential for development and with relatively the smallest populations, it was conservatively estimated that this would still result in the heavy loss of hundreds of millions of people.

The instigators of all this, the damned New Federation, had the audacity to proclaim they could send reinforcements to the Empire at any time!

War!

Admiral Thomas now only yearned for a true war, to tear the Head Star of the New Federation to shreds!

"General! The Mother Worm has been wounded, the current swarm is beginning to retreat!"

Admiral Thomas immediately responded, "Don’t let them escape, squadrons six and seven execute a surprise attack on the queen, all firepower concentrate on side shooting, kill the queen as quickly as possible!"
