Molton Star Gate battlefield

The fifth hour.

All Interstellar Warship of the Empire Army 12th Legion Fleet passed through the Star Gate and arrived at the battlefield, completely taking over the Star Gate defense line.

Under the guard of this Imperial Army Fleet of nearly three thousand Interstellar Warship, the Star Gate defense line was now completely impregnable.

The tenth hour.

The Imperial Army 22nd Legion arrived as reinforcements, and with the addition of these three thousand Interstellar Warship, the Star Gate defense line was able to fully reclaim the previously lost defense areas.

At this time, the Imperial Army's Interstellar Reconnaissance Starship also discovered the locations of the other two T4 Zerg Hive Motherships.

Fortunately, those two T4 Zerg Hive Motherships did not attack the Star Gate, but rather attacked the planets around the Star Gate.

The fifteenth hour.

The North Wind Governor's Fleet, and the Imperial 25th Legion and 26th Legion from the Chu River Star Region arrived one after another.

At this moment, the Molton Star System had gathered four Imperial Army Fleets, one Governor's Fleet, and a large number of Lord Fleets, totaling nearly twenty thousand Interstellar Warship.

In addition to the three T4 Boreas-class Heavy Interstellar Battleships that the Chu Family Third Fleet arrived with first.

Three more T4 Boreas were subsequently added, these were from the North Wind Governor's Governor's Fleet.

With such a large-scale Starfleet suppressing them, the T4 Zerg Hive Mothership crisis in the Molton Star System was now under control.

The safety of the Molton Star Gate was also secured, and now it was only necessary to eliminate the Zerg Fleet.

Before that, the fleets of several forces that had been defending the Molton Star System received a holographic audience with the North Wind Governor.

Zhao Chen opened his eyes.

He appeared in a holographic environment resembling a conference room.

In the main seat was the North Wind Governor, whom he had met a few times before, and to the North Wind Governor's right was Chu Xuan.

Also present was Xu Yifan.

Compared to Chu Xuan and Zhao Chen's calmness, Xu Yifan was noticeably nervous, as meeting his new idol and the Governor at the same time still made him a little excited.

"Yifan, I heard about your father's matter, please accept my condolences," the North Wind Governor was the first to bring up Earl Morton's matter.

Xu Yifan sat upright and said seriously, "My father was a soldier and earned this Earl title through his military merits.

Although we are newly-appointed nobles, other nobles consider us 'upstarts'.

But my father often taught me that as long as we are the Lord of this Star System, we must protect our Star System!

Even if one day he falls in front of me, I... I..."

At this point, Xu Yifan's eyes finally couldn't help but turn red. During this time, he had completely immersed himself in high-intensity combat missions to avoid thinking about his father's death.

But now, his emotions couldn't help but surge out.

"I will still uphold his responsibility... to defend the Molton Star System and all the territories of our Xu Family with my life!"

"Good child, you did it," the North Wind Governor looked at the young man with approval. "You did not disgrace your father. Old Xu would surely be very pleased to see you like this now."

Xu Yifan looked at the North Wind Governor, suppressing the tears in his eyes, "I... did I really not neglect my duty?"

"No, you did a great job!" the North Wind Governor said firmly.

Xu Yifan bit his lip. At this moment, it was as if all the pressure he had been under was released, and tears could no longer be held back as they streamed down his face.

"According to Imperial rules, Old Xu's title will be inherited by you, his eldest son, although there hasn't been an inheritance ceremony yet.

But you must take on this responsibility now," the North Wind Governor said, looking at Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan nodded heavily, "I understand."

"Alright, you go and rest first. There's still a lot of things waiting for you to handle later," the North Wind Governor said.

"Yes." Before leaving, Xu Yifan looked at Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan, bowed deeply to them, and then his figure dissipated.

After Xu Yifan left, the North Wind Governor's demeanor suddenly dropped.

He looked at Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan with a mournful face, "Oh, my two ancestors, you two are not just generally bold.

With a mere four hundred Interstellar Warship, you dared to charge directly at a T4 Zerg Hive Mothership in front of millions of Zerg.

Yes!

You did eventually take down that T4 Zerg Hive Mothership, but did you two consider the risks involved?

Your identities are not ordinary.

Xu Yifan was here just now, so I couldn't speak plainly.

Compared to the Molton Star System, I would rather accept the fall of the Molton Star Gate and the entire Molton Star System than see you two in danger!"

Chu Xuan was his beloved granddaughter, and if Grandpa Chu were to find out about this matter.

He would probably come knocking on his door for a fight.

Zhao Chen was also extraordinary, with all his Starship technology, and he also had some cooperation with Grandpa Chu.

If such a talent were lost here, he would also feel heartbroken.

"Grandpa, look at what you're saying.

In the end, nothing happened, right!" Chu Xuan immediately tried to comfort her Grandpa.

"I warn you two, don't do such risky things next time!" the North Wind Governor reminded them sternly.

Chu Xuan immediately adopted the look of a good child, "I promise! I promise I won't take risks again next time!"

Zhao Chen, standing by, couldn't help but inwardly laugh. Was this promise really useful?

The North Wind Governor probably also saw that his granddaughter's promise was unreliable, but he could only look at his granddaughter with doting affection, unable to do anything about her.

"Governor, how do you plan to deal with this Zerg crisis next?" Zhao Chen asked.

The North Wind Governor said, "Actually, with the gradual disappearance of the Cosmic Star Gate, our response this time was also swift, and the Zerg disaster did not get out of control.

So, it is estimated that all Zerg Hive Motherships can be eliminated within a month, but the cleanup of the ground-dwelling Interstellar Insectoids on those planets may take more than half a year.

The Molton Star System is an important raw material Star System for our North Wind Star Sector, and it will be a priority for cleanup.

According to my plan, taking advantage of the twenty thousand Interstellar Warship and six T4 Boreas gathered here.

All Zerg Fleet will be cleared within a week, the ground-dwelling Interstellar Insectoids on major planets will be cleared within a month, and the rest can be dealt with within the next three months."

"Speaking of which, this Zerg crisis was fortunately responded to quickly, otherwise the consequences would truly be unimaginable.

Who could have imagined that a Level 4 Cosmic Insectoid Hive would appear? It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it!" Chu Xuan complained.

"Actually, the appearance of so many Cosmic Insectoid Hives this time... is indeed very strange..." the North Wind Governor said, frowning.

"Strange? Where is it strange?" Zhao Chen looked at the North Wind Governor.

The North Wind Governor didn't answer, but changed the subject and said, "Alright. Your two fleets have worked hard this time, so take a good rest.

The main tasks from now on will be handed over to the Imperial Army Fleet."

Zhao Chen looked at the North Wind Governor, who didn't answer his question, and he had a premonition.

Strange?

If there was something strange, from a conspiracy theory perspective.

Then this Zerg crisis was not a coincidence!

However, this was not something Zhao Chen could manage for now. He would focus on his system missions and developing his fleet first.

Only with strong personal strength could he deal with any possible situation, otherwise knowing more would only increase his troubles.
