Chapter 927: Swarm frenzy?
One hundred hours later?
Swarm of insects!
Zhao Chen had a bad feeling about this belated quarterly task.
The emergence of this quarterly task confirms Zhao Chen's premonition.
Zhao Chen clicked on the details of the quarterly tasks.
Quarterly Quest: Swarm
Mission objective: In one hundred hours, defend against the swarm of insectoids emerging from a permanent level-five cosmic wormhole.
Ultimately, mission completion will be assessed based on the outcome of the war, and mission rewards will be distributed accordingly.
ใDate of mission start: 99 hours and 59 minutesใ
That permanent Level 5 cosmic wormhole, located within the territory of the Holy Radiant Empire and which had been quiet for so long, has finally started causing trouble.
Since the system says the task will start in 100 hours.
That estimate is probably correct.
Roughly one hundred hours from now, a massive Zerg hive fleet will emerge from it!
There's a very high chance there will also be a T5 Zerg mothership!
The system did not explain exactly how dangerous it was.
As for when this'Swarm' mission will end.
The system offered no explanation.
This made Zhao Chen very uneasy; there was too much unknown information.
Furthermore, the Dragon Legion has just experienced a fierce battle, not to mention the military supplies consumed and the interstellar warships lost.
The spaceships that the Dragon Legion needs to repair right now will take a considerable amount of time.
One hundred hours, that's a little over four days.
Damn it!
This mission came at just the right time.
With the current state of the Dragon Legion fleet and the home fleets stationed by the Holy Glory Empire, it will be difficult to withstand this disaster.
Being assigned a 'late' quarterly task, Zhao Chen dared not harbor any illusions.
Although the mission failed this quarter, there was no punishment.
However, the Holy Radiant Empire is highly likely to be occupied by the interstellar Zerg in this catastrophe, using it as a 'nest' in this universe to launch attacks on other star systems.
In this way, the disaster will spread to every corner of the universe in the shortest possible time.
Neither the Star Empire nor the Wraith Dragon could avoid it.
Regardless of whether there was a mission or not, Zhao Chen would not allow such a thing to happen.
Need help!
Moreover, they need allies strong enough to counter the Zerg.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but look at the angel Tilia who was still speaking across from him.
There are ready-made helpers right here!
Four hundred thousand angel interstellar warships!
Having gone through the previous battle, the total number of ships lost by the 400,000 Angel Starfleet was less than 30,000!
Their strength has not been significantly weakened.
After all, they only joined the battle when the demon legion fleet was being routed.
They have gained a huge advantage.
"Please wait a moment, everyone."
"I have something important to take care of." Zhao Chen suddenly stood up, feigning anxiety, and walked out of the conference room.
The three high-ranking angels were left completely bewildered.
This commander seems a bit strange today.
More than ten minutes passed.
The conference room door was pushed open.
Zhao Chen walked in again, but compared to before, his expression was solemn, as if he was worried about something.
Angel Tilia also noticed Zhao Chen's expression and tentatively asked, "Lord Dragon Lord, may I ask... what has happened to you?"
That's exactly what I've been waiting for.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath and looked solemnly at the three high-ranking angels opposite him: "Yes."
I just received a message from the real-time monitoring outpost we set up at that permanent level-five cosmic wormhole in the Holy Radiant Empire.
We suspect that in about four or five days, a large number of interstellar insectoids will emerge from that permanent level-five universe and attack the Holy Radiant Empire.
Zhao Chen sighed, one hand on his forehead, a worried expression on his face: "Under normal circumstances, I would still be confident in resisting the attacking interstellar insectoids."
But now, you all know the current situation of my Dragon Legion.
The casualty rate exceeded 20%, military supplies were almost exhausted, and a large number of interstellar warships needed repair and resupply.
In such a short time, I simply cannot mobilize my elite fleet to defend against this impending disaster.
If... if the interstellar Zerg were to flood into the Holy Radiant Empire and slaughter indiscriminately, the consequences... you all should be well aware of.
This is what's bothering me.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, the three high-ranking angels' expressions changed drastically.
"The interstellar insectoids?" High Archangel Berkeley frowned, then asked, "Do you know the scale of the interstellar insectoid invasion?"
Zhao Chen shook his head: "My research institute can only detect the energy fluctuations on the other side and estimate when they will attack."
The exact scale is unclear.
But I speculate that there will be a T5 Zergling Mothership.
And there was more than one.
I've heard there's more than one T5 Zergling Mothership.
Even the angel Tilia gasped in shock.
For the Angel race, which possesses T5-level starships, one or two T5 Zerg motherships are not a particularly troublesome problem.
but!
The appearance of a T5 Zerg mothership meant they knew that a very large Zerg fleet would follow!
And then there are the countless Zerg units.
The Angels had also been attacked by the Zerg, and they knew exactly how terrifying this alien creature from another universe was.
The problem is!
This is still a permanent Level 5 cosmic wormhole, and no one knows exactly how many interstellar worms will emerge from it.
At this moment, the three high-ranking angels exchanged a glance; this situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Their original intention was simply to provide support to the Dragon Legion in their fight against the Demon Race.
Who would have thought that some interstellar insectoid race would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
โI know, according to our original agreement.โ
This aid mission is solely to help us fight the demon race.
You have no obligation to help us fight the Zerg.
I won't force you to do these things.
The original three-month period can now be cancelled; you are free to leave at any time.
The three high-ranking angels looked at Commander Zhao Chen in surprise. They had thought he would use this opportunity to ask for their help in fighting against the interstellar insectoids.
Surprisingly, the other party allowed them to leave.
"However... I cannot guarantee whether my Dragon Force can help this universe survive this insectoid catastrophe."
So, regarding those military procurement contracts and agreements between us.
I cannot guarantee that I will fulfill my promise.
"I'm very sorry." Zhao Chen said with a somber expression.
Now, the three high-ranking angels were even more dumbfounded.
Why did they travel thousands of miles to help JF-17?
It's all to help the JF-17 defend against the demon legion fleet, ensure the JF-17's continued existence, and rely on their starship manufacturing industry to supply the Angel race with the interstellar warships needed for the front lines.
If the Zerg destroy this place, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
