"Commander, these bugs are so annoying."

Although they don't pose a significant threat to our fleet, their numbers are simply too great.

"Using interstellar missiles would be wasteful, but using conventional naval guns would also be very costly." Secretary Chu Xuan said helplessly, observing the current situation of the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon.

The Zerg on those planets swarmed towards the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon like sharks smelling blood.

Zhao Chen's face was gloomy ever since he guessed what Qin Xiaotian had done.

He wasn't in a good mood.

"Can we confirm that the vast majority of the planets in this star system have been occupied by the Zerg?" Zhao Chen suddenly asked.

Charlotte's expression changed, and she looked at Zhao Chen with a complicated look in her eyes.

"It's basically certain."

"The number of survivors on each habitable planet shall never exceed 0.001% of the original population!" Secretary Lilith reported.

Zhao Chen took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "We don't have time to waste here."

Relay my orders.

"Directly attack planets along the way, especially those Zerg planets that haven't yet been alerted by us, using long-range interstellar missiles!"

Upon hearing this order, Zhao Chen was silent for a moment.

“Follow the commander’s orders,” Charlotte said seriously.

Lilith, Chu Xuan, and the others immediately began issuing new orders.

This seemingly ordinary order actually meant something they all understood.

This means... the JF-17 Legion is about to destroy the ecosystems of all habitable planets in this star system.

Even if there are any survivors left, they will all die in the ensuing attack.

It could be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair and let out a heavy sigh, as if releasing the suppressed emotions in his chest.

Charlotte stood behind Zhao Chen, pressing on his temples.

"Am I... not a competent commander?" Zhao Chen said with a wry smile.

Although he issued the order, it is undeniable that he was struggling and in pain inside.

"No! You are an excellent commander now, and you made this decision without any hesitation."

As for your inner pain and inner turmoil.

That means you are a leader we should follow.

I don't want my commander to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person who can arbitrarily issue orders to destroy a star system and planet without any emotional fluctuations or psychological burden.

For me, for our JF-17 Legion.

"Commander, please cherish this feeling," Charlotte whispered in Zhao Chen's ear.

Zhao Chen didn't speak. He looked up at the holographic projection outside the ship.

Following his orders, his T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interplanetary armored battleship had targeted a nearby planet.

The bow cannon is charged, and all main and secondary guns are aimed in one direction.

Although there are still quite a few Zerg groups in that direction.

The main guns and secondary guns fired first.

Some of these attacks turned into fireballs after hitting large Zerg units.

Some of them flew through the air and hit the planet behind them directly.

You can see 'firework' cyclones appearing on the planet's surface.

At this moment, the bow cannon of the T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleship was also ready.

Charlotte did not consult the commander again, but directly issued the order to fire.

The commander already has enough on his shoulders; there are some decisions that they can make on his behalf.

The silvery-white beam tore through all the insect swarms in its path, and finally, like a pillar of light, it fell from the sky and crashed into the surface of that planet.

The impact created a huge fireball that spread outwards, much like a flame being thrown into a field of grass, with flames immediately engulfing everything in its path.

Destroy all life on the planet!

An attack of this magnitude would not destroy the planet, but it would be enough to alter its ecosystem. Without external intervention, the planet would likely become uninhabitable and unable to support any life for a very long time.

"Issue the same order to the Second and Third Legions of the JF-17 Thunder," Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Lilith glanced at the commander with his deep gaze and began to contact the other two Dragon Legions.

It is estimated that the other two JF-17 Thunder Legion units encountered the same situation.

Perhaps the two commanders of the Dragon Legion have made the same decision, or perhaps they haven't.

But at least with the commander's order, the two commanders' guilt would be greatly reduced.

"How long will it take us to get to Qin Xiaotian's base camp from our current location?" Zhao Chen asked in an unfriendly tone.

"If this is the case for every galaxy."

"It may take at least a week," Charlotte replied.

"It seems we need to unleash our trump card." Zhao Chen squinted. "Pass on my order: after clearing this star system, immediately contact the Xiaolong interstellar missile ship special fleet and prepare for interstellar jump."

In addition, notify the other two Falcon Strike Legions to revise their original battle plans and rendezvous with us first.

Charlotte immediately understood Zhao Chen's meaning.

The original battle plan was to advance along three fronts, which would increase the difficulty of the enemy's defense.

But given the current situation, Zhao Chen could only think about speeding up.

He decided to change the original three lines into one line, and at the same time bring forward the entry time of the JF-17 interstellar missile ship special fleet.

On the one hand, it increased the efficiency of the attack; on the other hand, Zhao Chen was genuinely angry.

He now wished he could sail his fleet directly in front of Qin Xiaotian and fire a hundred or so shots into his rear end with the bow cannons of his T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Five days! I'm only giving you five days."

"We must reach Qin Xiaotian's base camp within five days!" Zhao Chen said solemnly to Charlotte.

Charlotte said confidently, "With this arrangement, I will make sure you see Qin Xiaotian's headquarters within 100 hours, Commander."

"Also, send new operational orders to the Fourth Legion of the JF-17 Thunder and the JF-17 Star Stealth Bomber Special Fleet," Zhao Chen said.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaotian was still in the capital star of the Starry Empire.

They also learned about what had happened in their own Snow Swallow Starfield.

He almost fainted the moment he saw the news.

At first, he was furious and wished he could tear Qin Longcheng to pieces.

Although everything he had done before was for the throne of the Starry Empire.

But he wasn't truly utterly depraved.

He tried to contact Qin Longcheng, but he couldn't reach him.

In the end, all they sent him was a message.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the matter of the Snow Swallow Star Region was entirely Qin Longcheng's own doing."

"On the day of victory, Your Majesty can use the heads of Qinlong City to appease the anger of the imperial people!"

Upon seeing this message, Qin Xiaotian remained speechless for a long time.
