"So, how should we deal with the impeachment of Owl Dragon Lord by those people?" the Official asked.

If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but the number was truly too large... there were even Earls, and several One-Star Brigadier Generals from the Imperial Army had also filed impeachments.

The Official could no longer suppress the matter, so he took the opportunity to report today.

The North Wind Governor asked casually, "The Xiaolong Fleet hijacked... no, they borrowed these Interstellar Transport Ships. It seems they are all privately owned, right?

It seems none of them were primarily responsible for evacuating civilians.

Even for transporting evacuees, those were high-priced tickets, hundreds to thousands of star coins, only available to wealthy merchants and gentry."

"Yes," the Official replied.

The North Wind Governor snorted coldly. He also disliked these people, but despite being the Governor, he couldn't truly turn hostile and act against them.

Seeing Zhao Chen do this, he truly applauded in his heart.

"Since it was borrowed, there's no problem.

They can just return them later," the North Wind Governor said, waving his hand.

"But... what if those Lords and Officials repeatedly pursue the matter?" the Official asked worriedly.

The North Wind Governor's eyes narrowed, "If they still want to pursue it, then tell them that I, this old man, also want to investigate certain individuals for improper command, desertion in battle, and failure to assist those in need." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The Official's eyes lit up. The North Wind Governor was clearly going to fully protect this Owl Dragon Lord.

Which of those wealthy merchants and gentry dared to claim their hands were clean?

The North Wind Governor's words clearly implied a warning: this matter was to be dropped.

But if anyone dared to pursue it further, then I would investigate them first!

You can weigh your options.

This way, it was estimated that not many people would dare to truly pursue Owl Dragon Lord's culpability.

"The most important thing right now is to quickly handle the aftermath of this Zerg disaster.

We must clear out all the Zerg within the shortest possible time!" the North Wind Governor said sternly.

"According to our discussion, all Zerg Hive Motherships in all Galaxies will be cleared within one month. The ground-based Interstellar Insectoids on those planets will be cleared within half a year!" the Official gave a timeframe.

Compared to Zerg Hive Motherships navigating through interstellar space, clearing ground-based Interstellar Insectoids on planets was much more troublesome and relatively more time-consuming.

"Then proceed as planned," the North Wind Governor approved the timeframe.

...

Sapphire Star System

After more than a week of intense fighting and evacuation efforts, all civilians on the Sapphire Star System Third Planet were safely evacuated!

Except for a small number of people who insisted on staying on the planet and refused to evacuate, the entire planet was virtually emptied.

The once bustling streets and cities suddenly seemed to fall silent.

"Report, the last batch of Interstellar Transport Ships, escorted by five T3 Blizzards, has begun to evacuate," Secretary Lilith reported.

"Very good, we can finally say we're done," Zhao Chen let out a long breath.

【Side Mission Three: Sapphire Star System Third Planet Rescue Campaign

Mission Completion: 97%

Mission can be concluded. Do you wish to claim mission rewards?】

Zhao Chen glanced at the option for this side mission, considering it complete.

Then he looked at the data for the other three missions.

【Mission One: Destroy thirty T3 Zerg Hive Motherships (28/30)

Mission Two: Annihilate one billion Bug Units (200 million / 1 billion)

Mission Three: Rescue civilians whose lives are threatened by the Zerg disaster. Corresponding rewards can be claimed upon reaching certain quantities (5 million people, 10 million people, 15 million people, 20 million people, 25 million people, 30 million people...)

Current rescued population: 1.8 billion people. Can receive 180,000 system points】

Mission One was just one step away from completion. He heard there were still some T3 Zerg Hive Motherships in other Galaxies, so he just needed to go and destroy two more.

Mission Three had no upper limit; the more people rescued, the more he would gain. Given ample time, Zhao Chen could continuously farm it, and the actual amount would depend on the situation.

Only Mission Two had a relatively low completion rate.

This was mainly because, up until now, Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Fleet had primarily focused on clearing Zerg Hive Motherships and flying Bug Units.

The most numerous were ground-based Bug Units. If he performed orbital bombardments on those planets already occupied by Interstellar Insectoids, he could complete this mission in large quantities, so the difficulty was not high.

"What were our combat losses during these nearly ten days?" Zhao Chen asked.

Secretary Lilith reported some data: "Combat supplies such as Interstellar Missiles, Interstellar Fighters, and Interstellar Drones are basically depleted.

As for other Starship energy, it has been replenished several times.

After the Interstellar Transport Ships evacuated personnel, they would load the energy blocks we needed and return to resupply our Starships.

Therefore, energy-based weapons could be used continuously.

Overall, our total combat consumption has reached nearly 10 million star coins so far, with nearly a hundred people injured, but no fatalities.

Six T2 Black Rhinos were severely damaged, two T2 Blizzards suffered some damage, and the damage to other Interstellar Warship was not serious."

Zhao Chen was very satisfied with these combat results.

"How is that other matter being arranged?" Zhao Chen asked about a certain matter.

The matter Zhao Chen was referring to concerned the'second half of the military operation' of Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Fleet in this Zerg disaster.

Secretary Lilith replied, "Half a day ago, we received the latest news. Everything is going smoothly, and we expect to 'receive our goods' in at most three hours."

Zhao Chen was very pleased. He stretched and said, "Then relay my order: the fleet is to sail at a steady speed towards the Star Gate, and all crew members across the fleet are to take turns resting.

Everyone has been quite tired these past few days."

"Yes."

Three hours later.

In the direction the Xiaolong Fleet was sailing, the silhouettes of ten Interstellar Warship appeared.

The Xiaolong Fleet seemed to have anticipated the appearance of these ten Interstellar Warship and showed no reaction.

When these ten Interstellar Warship approached, the various captains began to admire this type of interstellar warship.

Its curves were elegant, but it lacked a combat style, instead giving one the feeling of a slender maiden.

The hull was painted in ice-blue, like a delicate Virgo in the ice and snow.

There were only some defensive weapons on the entire hull, indicating its focus was on internal storage capacity.

Zhao Chen was also admiring these ten new Interstellar Warship.

Just then, a video window connected.

On the other side was a somewhat youthful and familiar figure.

"Reporting, Commander, Secretary Bessie has been ordered to lead ten T3 Virgos to provide support. Please give your instructions!" Secretary Bessie, the succubus, stood straight and reported.

That's right.

These ten new faces were precisely ten T3 Virgo-class heavy interstellar supply ships.

They were originally scheduled to be completed and commissioned by the end of March, but due to the sudden Zerg disaster, Zhao Chen now lacked these auxiliary Interstellar Warship more than combat-type Interstellar Warship.

So he temporarily modified the construction order and had Chief Engineer Annie work overtime to rush their production.

Finally, with the cooperation of the T3 Furnace and T2 Iron Hammer, these two Interstellar Industrial Ships, ten T3 Virgos were delivered to Zhao Chen within ten days.

"Begin. Replenish the fleet as quickly as possible so we can carry out our next combat mission," Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Secretary Bessie immediately began to assign tasks.

The ten T3 Virgos dispersed, and some Owl Dragon Starships also began to gather around them.

One could see giant mechanical arms or pipelines extending from the T3 Virgo's hull, connecting to the hulls of other Interstellar Warship.

Various types of intelligent robots and other equipment also began to operate.

They started transporting supplies to those Interstellar Warship.

Furthermore, hundreds of repair-type intelligent robots began to perform a certain degree of repair work on the damaged Interstellar Warship.

This was also one of the capabilities of the T3 Virgo-class heavy interstellar supply ship: it could handle non-serious damage to Interstellar Warship on the battlefield.

A perfect support-type Starship!
