“Report, Captain!” A soldier hurried forward to make his report. “There is a large number of ordinary Zerg approaching us now. We are unable to shake them off within a short time, so we cannot do a space warp!”
Space warp was the strongest technology invented by man, but it had its limitations.
In the process of preparing for space warp, there must be no interference. Otherwise, once the warping becomes unstable, the space carrier would be shattered by the chaotic flow of time and space, leaving nothing behind.
“God.” The captain gritted his teeth. “These damn bugs! Did you get in touch with headquarters? Quickly ask for reinforcements! I’m afraid we won’t last long! In addition, get the self-destruct button ready! Once we realize that the situation is out of control, we will blow ourselves up. We must not let ourselves become slaves for these damn bugs. Otherwise, it will not be just tens of thousands of people who will die!”
“Un… understood!”
…
Although it had only been twenty minutes from the time they encountered the mutated Zerg to the crossfire between the two sides, they already knew what the outcome of the battle would be before they even started.
“Captain, Space Carriers Three and Four have been breached by the mutated Zerg!” The person in charge of the surveillance screens in the space carrier shouted desperately. “The mutated Zerg have entered the space carriers!”
“Report! Space Carriers Three and Four have self-destructed!”
In the universe, two huge flashes of fire flared, and the shockwave from the huge explosion shook the other space carriers! Even if these space carriers were big and powerful, it depended on who their opponent was. They were able to defeat ordinary Zerg with no problem, but against mutated Zerg…
It was just not powerful enough!
“Report, Space Carriers One and Two have been damaged by the mutated Zerg! They cannot self-destruct!”
“Report, Space Carriers One and Two have been breached by the Zerg. Communication is lost!”
As he listened to the reports from everyone in the space carrier, the face of Captain Jonathan, captain of these eight Fourth-Order space carriers, turned pale from anxiety.
Cold sweat dripped down his face.
The most dangerous thing in the universe was facing the mutated Zerg. If you were lucky, you could escape by doing a space warp before they saw you. If your luck was slightly worse, the result was likely to be total annihilation.
“Report! Space Carriers Five and Six have self-destructed!”
Two more space carriers had blown themselves up. Right now, only Space Carriers Seven and Eight, which he was on, were left struggling to survive. However, it was obvious they could not hold on for much longer.
“Report, Space Carrier Seven is requesting communication!”
“Connect us!”
Soon, an image of the captain of Space Carrier Seven came up. “Jonathan, we can’t hold on anymore. What about you?”
Jonathan took a deep breath and said, “Us too.”
“Space Carriers One and Two have already been captured by the mutated Zerg.” The captain of Space Carrier Seven shook his head and said, “We can’t hold on anymore. We don’t want to become slaves of the Zerg. What about you?”
Jonathan nodded. “Same.”
The captain of Carrier Seven asked, “Did you manage to contact headquarters?”
“Yes.” Jonathan took off his hat slowly. “Do you still have things to settle? If so… get it done as soon as possible.”
“No, no more.” The captain of Carrier Seven whispered softly, “I’ve already sent my will to headquarters. It’s a pity, my little grandson is just two months old and I only met him twice…”
“The kid is very cute.” Jonathan’s voice was gentle. “Rest assured, the Galaxy Aristocrats will not treat him badly.”
“Well, I guess.” The captain of Carrier Seven smiled suddenly and said, “For the glory of mankind. I hope my little grandson can grow up happily, inherit our career in the future, and kill the Zerg!”
Jonathan laughed and said, “Hahaha, that’s for sure!”
After they said that, both of them went silent.
Finally, Jonathan said sombrely, “Brother, go in peace.”
“You too.” The captain of Carrier Seven hesitated, then suddenly shouted, “For the glory of mankind!”
“For the glory of mankind!” Jonathan shouted too.
Communication terminated.
Shortly, the reporting personnel shouted, “Space Carrier Seven, self-destructed!”
Jonathan looked at everyone else in the space carrier and everyone on the display screen, then he said in a somber voice, “Brothers, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t lead everyone away in time. No matter what I say now, it’s too late. Finally, I just want to say one thing. In our next life, I hope we will be brothers again!”
Everyone on the space carrier cried out, their expressions serious, “Brothers in our next life!”
Jonathan looked at everyone again for the last time. He suddenly raised his right hand and shouted, “For the glory of mankind!”
“For the glory of mankind!” “For the glory of mankind!” “For the glory of mankind!” “For the glory of mankind!” “For the glory of mankind!” “For the glory of mankind!”
“Self-destruct sequence activated!”
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
Boom—!!!
Instantly, the Fourth-Order Planet-level Space Carrier Eight emitted a glaringly bright light. First, a golden halo enveloped the space carrier, then the space carrier exploded. The shockwave generated blasted all the surrounding mutated Zerg away, killing a large number of the Zerg.
It was an immense fireball burning in the vast universe.
As bright as a star.
For the glory of mankind, may their spirits be eternal.

Galaxy Alliance Center, Silver-blue super-planet, Shenluo City, in the Yin Family Manor.
“Lord, bad news!” A guard rushed into Yin Lieyang’s study room in a hurry and reported loudly. “Mutated Zerg were detected near Earth. Of the eight Fourth-Order of the planet space carriers that were on their way to Earth, Carrier One and Two have been captured and the other six have self-destructed!”
“What?!” When he heard the news, Yin Lieyang was instantly stunned!
Mutated Zerg! They actually encountered mutated Zerg there! How could something like that…
“Contact headquarters immediately. We cannot sit and wait when it comes to a matter like this! Hurry!” Yin Lieyang put on his cloak and headed out. As he ran, he instructed. “Contact Jiang Duxing. We must not be careless regarding this! Zerg Knights! If we do not handle this properly, it might end up like the war one thousand years ago!”
“Yes… Yes, Sir!” The guard knew it was serious and dared not dally. He rushed off.
…
Shortly after, Shenluo City, Lord’s Office, Main Hall.
Yin Lieyang and Jiang Duxing sat at a huge desk. There were twelve chairs around this huge desk. Except for the two of them, the people on the other ten seats were all holographic projection images. Among them was Jiang Duxing’s father, Jiang Dongliu.
The Galaxy Aristocrats Elders of the Milky Way Alliance were all present!
“Lieyang, tell us the details.” Jiang Dongliu said in a serious tone, “Where were the mutated Zerg discovered? What exactly is the situation there now?”
“Third Elder,” Yin Lieyang said respectfully, “we encountered them near a planet called Earth in the third spiral arm of the galaxy. At present, of the eight space carriers that I dispatched, six self-destructed and two were captured by the Zerg. I believe Zerg Knights will appear soon, so the situation this time is particularly serious. The planet called Earth is a planet that has just joined the Galaxy Alliance. According to the data, it is a civilized star which is somewhere between level three and four. There is nothing too special about the planet itself, but…”
Here, he paused, then looked at Jiang Duxing. “Duxing, I think you should tell them about Elder Mo Tianji.”
“Yes, okay.” Jiang Duxing nodded and said, “There are currently forty-eight people from Earth on our Galaxy Alliance’s Silver-blue super-planet. Among them is Hong Dali, who has become the successor of the top warrior in the East Milky Way one thousand years ago, Mo Tianji. If this is true, Earth would have a deep connection with our Galaxy Alliance. Years ago, Elder Mo Tianji was wandering about the Milky Way when he ran into the Zerg near Earth and ended up landing on it.”
“Well.” After listening to Jiang Duxing, one of the elders slowly stroked his beard and nodded. “In that case, they are one of us. We do not know if Elder Mo Tianji had any descendants after he landed on Earth. No matter what, we have to send troops this time.”
The other Elders all nodded, saying, “Seconded.”
Although the civilization level of Earth was not advanced enough, it was where Elder Mo Tianji crash-landed. Mo Tianji might have had descendants after landing on the planet. The possibility may not be high, but there was still a chance. If that was the case, then Earth was counted as one of the Galaxy Aristocrats’. They definitely had to send troops to help.
“Since everyone is agreeable to sending troops,” said Jiang Dongliu slowly, “we will be facing mutated Zerg this time. Zerg Knights will probably appear before long. In this case, we will have to send the Milky Way’s most powerful space battle force. I mean to send five Stellar Level Two space carriers!”
Stellar-level Space Carriers! The most powerful battle force by which the Galaxy Aristocrats dominated the galaxy!
Even Fifth-Order Planet-level space carriers could not compare to them. The reason the Galaxy Aristocrats had so much power was that they had the Stellar-level Space Carriers, the most powerful battle force in the Galaxy!
Stellar-level Space Carriers. First-Order Stellar Space Carriers were five hundred kilometers long. One blast of its main cannon could easily disintegrate a small planet hundreds of kilometers across!
Second-Order Stellar space carriers were one thousand kilometers long. One blast of its main cannon could easily bore through a planet as big as the moon. Its might was formidable!
“Seconded.” The other Elders nodded again. “For the glory of mankind!”
Jiang Duxing and Yin Lieyang both put their arms across their chests and declared loudly. “For the glory of mankind!”
“Since everyone has agreed,” Jiang Dongliu said slowly, “time and tide wait for no man. Let’s make arrangements to send troops immediately.” After saying that, he suddenly stopped to think, then said, “Right, bring Hong Dali and his people along as well. After winning this battle, we should bring Elder Mo Tianji’s remains back. As a Galaxy Aristocrat, his remains ought to return home.”
“Seconded!””Seconded!”
