Chapter 657: 643 Swallowing Stars Again
Shortly after the battle with the Spiral Mosquito Fleet, Bai Zhongqi dispatched a Reconnaissance Ship to explore the presence of the Spiral Mosquito Civilization's influence in the Geng Zone of the Snow Dragon Galaxy in the Third Universe.
"It seems that the Spiral Mosquito Civilization is doing quite average," Bai Zhongqi said with a light laugh.
Xu Lanzhou still spoke fairly, "The matter density of the Snow Dragon Galaxy in the Third Universe is indeed a bit low. It is an irregular galactic structure, and even within several Great Star Zones, there is hardly any civilization. The situation in the Geng Zone is much worse than in the Bing Zone; the Spiral Mosquito Civilization has made every effort to manage, but they've managed to cultivate only 41 Administrative Stars, some of which they transformed from conditions completely unsuitable for habitation."
At this time, Bai Zhongqi was quite optimistic. This war in the Third Universe was unexpected, and his main focus was not on the Third Universe but on continuing to expand the power of the United Empire in the Second Universe.
"Chi Jia and Cui Zhihao have already secretly begun to expand our influence in the Second Universe, and afterward, it might be necessary to see how they're doing. I don't want the war with the Spiral Mosquito people to be too troublesome. I trust the officers and soldiers of our Empire Army, but if something can be done simply, it shouldn't be made too complicated. I plan to continue my Star Swallowing strategy, beginning with encapsulating the Administrative Stars of the Spiral Mosquito people into Glass Beads, then gathering more than two Strategic Fleet groups to completely obliterate the now isolated Spiral Mosquito Fleet."
Xu Lanzhou had no objections to Bai Zhongqi's plan, but she raised an issue that had troubled her for some time.
"How exactly did the Spiral Mosquito people arrive in the Third Universe? Their method of universe travel is different from the technology mastered by the Silver Feather Army; could it be like the R19, accidentally entering a wormhole that crosses planes?"
Bai Zhongqi pursed his lips in agreement, "That's the most likely possibility. No matter how they got here, we must accomplish what the United Empire previously did not and also honor the spirits of those who have sacrificed themselves for the Empire over the years."
Recent events had put the Chancellor in a very good mood. Prime Minister Guo Lingmei and Knight Zang Xingyan recently reported to him that the technology integration work on Iridium Star was progressing smoothly, especially the integration of the Swarm's biotechnology, which greatly benefited the scientists of Iridium Star.
The Snow Dragon Alliance was also quite obedient. After witnessing the formidable military strength of Iridium Star, the Snow Dragon Alliance agreed promptly to accept the command of the Iridium Star United Empire in military operations and set up an operational base on Juhe Star, providing a large amount of materials. These materials were trivial to Bai Zhongqi, but the submissive attitude of the Snow Dragon Alliance gave him hope for dominating the Snow Dragon Galaxy.
Plus, with the impending resolution with Iridium Star's old enemy, Bai Zhongqi felt that his life as a leisurely Chancellor might soon begin.
After settling on using the Star Swallowing tactic, the Iridium Star Reconnaissance Ship continued to probe the strengths and weaknesses of the Spiral Mosquito Civilization's planets, listing an appropriate sequence of attack.
Once everything was prepared, the Chancellor once again boarded his flagship, the Blade Empress, accompanied by a substantial number of ships from both the Empire Army and the Swarm Fleet, forming the Star Swallowing Fleet, and launched a surprise attack on the Spiral Mosquito people's planet.
"Their defenses are emptily guarded, and although they have space-time tunnels, by the time they react, this planet would have been taken away by me," Bai Zhongqi still found it rather uninteresting.
He directly approached the planet and encountered no resistance. Upon contact with the planet, he encapsulated the entire planet into a Glass Sphere. Bai Zhongqi was not one for mercy. Such were the cruel rules of the Universe. A conquered civilization must face complete annihilation. He would modify the atmospheres and environments of those planets so that they were no longer suitable for the Spiral Mosquito people. Once he finished transforming all the planets, the Spiral Mosquito would be extinct.
This time, Bai Zhongqi's work pace was much faster than when he dealt with the Star Alliance. Although he was without the Soul Extinguishing Divine Weapon, he directly piloted the Weilong IX fighter, after undergoing deep reinforcement modifications, and with Xu Lanzhou covering him in the Divine Monster Mech, the effect was the same with an Instant Flash move.
One after another, Spiral Mosquito planets fell to his control, and the already panicked Spiral Mosquitoes had no solution. The Spiral Mosquitoes had tens of thousands of warships that were immediately assembled after their civilization was attacked. However, after assembling, they could only rigidly defend one spot, while Bai Zhongqi would pick the soft targets to squeeze.
By the time they thought to reinforce, they had to travel through several passages. By the time they arrived, Bai Zhongqi had already moved on to the next target.
This was almost like bullying, but there was nothing to stop him.
When Bai Zhongqi arrived at the last planet held by the Spiral Mosquitoes, their Capital Star, New Spiral Mosquito Star, it was inevitable that the Iridium Star Fleet would engage in a head-on battle with more than twenty thousand Spiral Mosquito warships.
The densely packed warships had actually surrounded the entire planet, and the Spiral Mosquitoes had placed fleets on almost every orbital path to prevent those star-devouring war machines and mechas from entering. But this also dispersed their fleet formation, and such an arrangement left the fleets with almost no concentrated assault capability.
Bai Zhongqi, with a smile on his face, said to Xu Lanzhou, who was sitting in the mecha cockpit, "How about it, want to charge up there and attract their forces, stretch their defense lines and create some advantage for our fleet?"
Xu Lanzhou nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Bai Zhongqi, with a smile all over his face, sat in his custom-made fighter, shot out from the flight deck of the Blade Empress, followed closely by the Divine Monster, which also charged out.
As he had anticipated, when the previously obvious culprits of star-devouring appeared, the Spiral Mosquito Fleet became particularly tense. They concentrated their fire power intensely in that direction, although most of their weapons weren't even in range, simply to create a no-fly zone.
But evidently, such minor tricks had no effect on Bai Zhongqi and Xu Lanzhou.
Bai Zhongqi, piloting the fighter, flitted about like a hummingbird among the trajectories of various weapons.
While piloting, Xu Lanzhou did not forget to command the fleet.
"Deploy the Aviation Soldier drones!"
Masses of Weilong 9, which looked almost identical to the plane Bai Zhongqi was flying, took off to meet the enemy. When the Spiral Mosquitoes witnessed this, their hearts must have crumbled. In such a large swarm, it became extremely difficult to differentiate enemy planes. Bai Zhongqi only needed to switch positions with other fighters amidst the gunfire and explosions to shake off pursuers.
And during the gaps in the defense, Bai Zhongqi could charge forward, waiting for an opportunity to use the Glass Bead to encapsulate New Spiral Mosquito Star. By then, the disorganized Spiral Mosquito Fleet would be like water without a source.
