Mid-June of Galactic Calendar 3034

The second civil war in the Starry Empire, which began a little over a week ago, is progressing at a speed far exceeding everyone's expectations.

One message after another came out.

First, in the Chu-Wen star system battlefield, with the cooperation of Marshal Chu Changhe and a mysterious interstellar missile ship fleet led by Xiaolong, all enemy forces on the battlefield were annihilated.

Subsequently, in the Beiyan Group battlefield, the Beiyan Defense Fleet and the Xiaolong Fourth Legion cooperated in combat, and a special fleet composed entirely of interstellar stealth bombers from the Xiaolong Legion performed exceptionally well in this battlefield.

With the tacit cooperation of these fleets, the [N O V E L I G H T] Qin Xiaotian Empire's army and the Zerg fleet, which attempted to attack and destroy the Beiyan Group's industrial base, were completely annihilated!

Even more miraculously, the Beiyan Group's industrial base suffered no losses whatsoever. In fact, during the days of fighting, production tasks were not delayed, and production efficiency was even greatly improved compared to usual.

The final straw that broke the camel's back for Qin Xiaotian, the new emperor, was the battle situation in the Snow Swallow Starfield!

And it was accompanied by a huge scandal.

Everyone knew that Qin Xiaotian was developing Zerg biotechnology as early as when the Star Glory Empire deployed its Zerg fleet during the first civil war.

However, no one expected that Qin Longcheng would use a Zerg spore virus to release into more than a dozen star systems centered on the Xueyan Second Star System during this Xueyan Star System battle.

This directly led to the infection and mutation of all habitable life on the planets in these dozen or so star systems within just twenty-four hours, giving rise to a terrifying species known as the Mutant Zerg.

Rumors have it that trillions of life in these dozen or so star systems have perished, and nearly a hundred large habitable planets have been devastated, resembling an apocalypse.

All of this was Qin Longcheng's effort to defend against the incoming Xiaolong Legion fleet.

Nevertheless, in the end, the Lord of the Falcon personally led three Falcon Legion fleets, as well as a special fleet of interstellar missile ships that were conscripted halfway.

They forcefully stormed into the Xueyan Second Star System and, after a fierce battle, destroyed Qin Longcheng and the Xueyan First Research Institute built by Qin Xiaotian.

Finally, the JF-17 fleet safely evacuated using interstellar warp ships.

Meanwhile, the second star system of Xueyan also reaped what it sowed, as it was invaded by a mutated insectoid race.

More importantly, before Qin Longcheng and the others died, a Zerg technology called 'Zerg Egg' was used.

It directly created a permanent level-four cosmic wormhole.

The Dragon Legion immediately broadcast to the entire Starshine Empire, temporarily designating half of the Snow Swallow Starfield as a high-risk zone and warning all fleets to proceed with caution.

They also notified the remaining star systems in the Xueyan Starfield to prepare for an emergency evacuation.

The news generated so much buzz that it even surpassed the Second Civil War of the Starry Empire.

Permanent cosmic wormhole?

It's only at level four!

The first reaction of everyone who heard it was disbelief.

A temporary cosmic wormhole is terrifying enough; no one wants to think about a permanent level-four cosmic wormhole.

That means that in this region, the Zerg will be able to continuously pour into the Star Empire.

In response to external doubts, the Xiaolong Legion released most of the publicly available video materials they had on hand. As for those who were still unwilling to believe it, Zhao Chen had no interest in paying attention to them.

I've said everything I needed to say and explained.

Whether they believe it or not is up to them.

Those who believed it naturally directed this criticism at Qin Xiaotian, the new emperor.

Qin Xiaotian also immediately took crisis management measures.

He announced to the public that such an event had indeed occurred, which made the vast majority of people completely trust Zhao Chen's words, directly leading to a wave of migration to the remaining star systems in the Xueyan Star Region.

However, Qin Xiaotian shifted all the blame onto Zhao Chen.

He meant that his Xueyan First Research Institute was indeed researching related Zerg topics, but the reason for the existence of a permanent cosmic Zerg nest was...

It was a coincidental event caused entirely by the bombardment of Xueyan's First Research Institute by the Xiaolong Legion's interstellar warships.

Although Qin Xiaotian's reason was lame, it was at least a way to save face for himself.

The JF-17 Legion did not discuss this further, as many things cannot be resolved by mere words.

After that, Qin Xiaotian made three moves, the last one.

On the battlefield of the Royal Princess Fleet, the Dragon Lord appeared with four fully prepared Dragon Legions.

With overwhelming force, they wiped out Qin Xiaotian's Imperial Army and Zerg fleet on this battlefield.

After that, all fronts advanced towards the Imperial Capital Star simultaneously.

By this time, Qin Xiaotian's army had dwindled to only one-fifth of its pre-war strength, and much of it consisted of remnants and defeated soldiers with extremely poor combat effectiveness.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

Qin Xiaotian, the new emperor, is finished.

It's only a matter of time before the capital city is captured.

Meanwhile, some events also occurred in various star regions of the Star Glory Empire.

The situation is changing.

First, there was the Su family of the Zisu Starfield. The Su family patriarch personally led the Su family fleet, a total of 30,000 interstellar warships gathered from all over the country, and under the pretext of serving the emperor and punishing the traitors, they turned against the little princess.

And, I don't know if it's a coincidence.

It just so happened that it coincided with the final stages of the battle involving the princess's royal fleet.

besides

The governor of the Pegasus Starfield and several family forces, who had not joined the civil war of the Starry Empire, raised the little princess's banner and attacked the central starfield of the Starry Empire from the Pegasus Starfield.

It can be said that when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

...

Imperial Capital Star

Qin Xiaotian sat dejectedly on his throne, holding a pile of empty wine glasses in his hands.

The main hall, which originally served as the wartime staff headquarters, was now a mess, with only a handful of staff officers still working.

Some of them took leave citing reasons such as physical discomfort, but in reality, their family forces were trying to use their connections with the little princess to try and grab a lifeline at the last minute.

"Your Majesty... Breaking news! Three more star systems in our Starry Central Star Region have betrayed us and sided with the little princess! In addition, another star system has fallen completely, and we have lost three thousand Imperial interstellar warships."

He heard the news reported by his subordinates.

Qin Xiaotian threw the wine bottle in his hand directly at him.

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash!"

The bottle was smashed on the subordinate's head, and the liquor mixed with blood flowed down. The subordinate only dared to lower his head and did not dare to utter a sound.

Just then, a figure entered the main hall.

"Everyone...get out."

Upon seeing the newcomer, several staff officers hesitated before glancing at Qin Xiaotian on the throne.

"Doctor! Thank goodness! You're alive!"

"I have been sending people to search for your whereabouts!" Upon seeing the person who came, Qin Xiaotian immediately stepped down from the throne, as if he had seen a lifeline.

At the same time, he ordered everyone in the hall to leave.

The newcomer was none other than the Doctor in the Black Cloak.

Only the doctor in the black cloak and Qin Xiaotian remained in the main hall.

Qin Xiaotian excitedly grabbed the black-cloaked doctor's shoulders, and in his excitement, the doctor's hat slipped off his head...
