Zhao Chen sat in his captain's chair, looking at the distant Interstellar battlefield.

He no longer needed to worry about that.

He checked the progress of all his current missions.

【Mission: The Bug Disaster in the North Wind Star Sector

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

Mission Two: Annihilate a total of one billion Bug Units (250 million/1 billion)

Mission Three: Rescue civilians whose lives are threatened by the bug 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 number of rescued people: 2 billion. Can receive 200,000 system points.

Mission Four: Please choose one from the three designated side mission options】

The T3 Zerg Hive Mothership mission was completed naturally, as Zhao Chen's Owl Dragon Fleet destroyed several of them during the recent operation.

Mission Two had not yet been completed, but Zhao Chen would only need to find a few planets occupied by the Interstellar Insectoids later to generally complete the mission.

Mission Three was irrelevant; he could just use it to accumulate system points in his spare time.

As for Mission Four.

【Side Mission One: Defense of SP118 Planet Battle

Side Mission Two: Morton Star System Zerg Battle (Ongoing)

Side Mission Three: Sapphire Star System Third Planet Rescue Battle (Completed)】

The Zerg Battle in the Morton Star System was actually considered a success, but it was still ongoing and was estimated to be completed only when the two T4 Zerg Hive Motherships and all T3 Zerg Hive Motherships were destroyed.

All Zhao Chen could do now was wait.

“I wonder how many mission rewards I’ll receive after completing such a large-scale system mission this time,” Zhao Chen thought with some anticipation.

...

Over the next few days, the Imperial Army Fleet successfully destroyed two T4 Zerg Hive Motherships with coordinated efforts, though they also suffered the loss of thousands of Interstellar Warship.

However, compared to annihilating two T4 Zerg Hive Motherships and a large number of Zerg, this loss was insignificant in their eyes.

The Imperial Army Fleet began to successively reclaim the planets that had been captured and controlled by the Zerg Fleet.

Because most of these planets had already been fully overrun for four or five days, the civilians on them had basically no chance of survival.

Zhao Chen's Owl Dragon Fleet proactively took on the task of clearing Bug Units within several planets.

In the high altitude of one planet, several T1 Zerg Hive Motherships floated.

But soon, these T1 Zerg Hive Motherships seemed to sense danger and began to ascend rapidly, but they were quickly hit by descending lasers and exploded.

They turned into fireballs and fell towards the ground.

“Scan this planet for life signals, are there any signs of survivors?” Zhao Chen commanded.

“Yes.” Lilith began to scan the planet below with the Starship’s life radar.

After dozens of minutes of scanning, a conclusion was reached.

No life signs other than Interstellar Insectoids were detected.

This meant that the possibility of survivors on this planet was less than 0.01%.

“This is the speed at which the Interstellar Insectoids devour a planet. This planet originally had nearly a billion inhabitants.

In less than a week, it became a sea of bugs.”

Zhao Chen looked down at the planet from above. The planet was already scarred, with huge Zerg Hives as tall as buildings everywhere, and dense swarms of Zerg.

Just looking at it was chilling.

“For any interstellar species, the Interstellar Insectoids and the Mechanical Race are the biggest threats, because they inflict devastating blows on local species,” Lilith said gravely.

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment, then said, “According to the plan, conduct orbital bombardment on this planet.”

“Yes.” Lilith began to relay the Commander’s order.

One by one, the Interstellar Warship of the Owl Dragon Fleet began to orbit the outer perimeter of this planet.

T3 Blizzard, T3 Phantom Assassin, T3 Phoenix.

And T2 Snow Mastiff, T2 Black Rhino, T2 Lion King.

The main cannons, secondary cannons, and Interstellar Missiles on over a hundred Interstellar Warship were all aimed at the surface of this planet.

At Zhao Chen’s command, these Interstellar Warship began to conduct orbital bombardment on the planet’s surface.

Beams of light and cannon fire fell from the sky.

A T3 Ravager on the ground looked up at the sky, which had turned red. Its pupils reflected the ‘light pillars’ descending from the sky.

Boom boom boom

Deafening explosions swept over, and the resulting air currents engulfed the Interstellar Insectoids on this land.

Just as they had invaded this planet and slaughtered its inhabitants a few days prior.

Today, they became the targets of slaughter.

Fires blazed everywhere, and the planet's original buildings collapsed under the continuous assault.

In outer space, Zhao Chen looked down at the planet. What he saw at this moment was a planet that was ‘burning’.

Before his eyes, the number of annihilated Bug Units in the system mission log was climbing at an astonishing rate.

Perhaps because it had always been an interstellar war, Zhao Chen had never had a clear concept of his own power.

But now, he watched a planet turn directly into a sea of fire at his command.

Only then did he realize how terrifying the war machine he now commanded truly was.

He could easily destroy all life on a planet!

This round of bombardment lasted for a full half an hour.

The planet’s land sank by dozens of meters, and even several continents collapsed, creating unprecedented grand canyons.

Natural disasters were everywhere.

Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and so on.

Under half an hour of attack, over 99% of the Interstellar Insectoids on this planet were cleared. As for the remaining Interstellar Insectoids, they would be left for those who would take over and rebuild the planet in the future for deeper clearing.

After continuously clearing several planets, Zhao Chen’s mission was finally completed.

(1 billion / 1 billion)

Zhao Chen didn't know when this main mission would be settled. Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Chen began to lead the Owl Dragon Fleet to star systems in need.

Evacuating the residents of planets that required it.

The purpose was to accumulate system points for Mission Three.

However, because the Interstellar Insectoids crisis was brought under control, completing this mission now was not as easy as it was initially, and the efficiency had slowed down considerably.

Late February, Galactic Calendar 3032

The Interstellar Insectoids disaster in the North Wind Star Sector had lasted for nearly a month. Under the North Wind Governor’s swift response, the full-star region war mobilization status was finally lowered to a full-star region Level Three combat readiness status.

At the same time, Zhao Chen's system mission prompted a notification sound.
