"Sister~" Xing Yuan looked at her, silent, as if expecting something.
Xi Yue smiled knowingly, her hand gently placed in Xing Yuan's palm. She kissed Xing Yuan lightly on the forehead, her gaze solely on Xing Yuan, her eyes filled with deep affection. "Be careful with everything. I'll wait for you to come back! My partner."
"Okay! Then my dear partner, wait for me here obediently! I'll bring more energy stones this time and come back later." Xing Yuan grinned, patting Xi Yue's head in a proper manner.
Xing Yuan then hurried away in her cleaned and recharged micro-light. However, unlike last time, when her heart was filled with excitement for the upcoming battle and the prospect of fighting, this time it was filled with the conviction of victory.
Human strength has its limits, and war cannot be won overnight.
However, through the brave fighting of the federal soldiers, after a year of immense sacrifice of countless lives, the Hive Mother finally issued the order to retreat.
At that time, Xing Yuan's mecha still had a considerable amount of energy. With a thought, she summoned her confidantes, preparing for a decisive blow!
"General, what are you saying? This is not advisable!" Wang Zhi Ping's expression was resistant upon hearing Xing Yuan's idea, and he firmly rejected Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan's expression changed instantly. Her majestic eyes cast a sideways glance at Wang Zhi Ping.
Wang Zhi Ping felt a chill in his heart and cowered, shrinking his head.
"Old Wang has a point. This action is too risky. Moreover, even if General you truly kill the Hive Mother, the remaining Zerg, without command, will still wreak havoc, which is a troublesome matter," a squad leader said, under pressure.
Wang Zhi Ping immediately cast an admiring glance at him. He was truly brave! The General had never liked others questioning her opinions. Although she never punished them openly, Wang Zhi Ping could already foresee the extra training he would endure in the coming year.
"One burst of energy, then a decline, and then exhaustion. Do you need me to teach you such a simple principle?"
Xing Yuan paused and then analyzed, "The Hive Mother's reproductive ability is extremely strong. Although the Zerg have retreated now, within a year, they will definitely launch attacks on other planets again."
"Although our resources are being consumed significantly now, we have an advantage: the soldiers are already experienced in killing Zerg.
If the Hive Mother dies, it will take the Zerg a long time to give birth to another Hive Mother, which will at least give us more time to breathe."
"If we have the opportunity to eradicate the Zerg completely, perhaps we will no longer have to suffer from the Zerg infestation in the future."
Xing Yuan analyzed so much in one breath. When she looked up again, she saw everyone staring at her, dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe that their General, who only knew how to fight, could spout so many grand principles.
Several of them were lost in thought. This was probably a case of being close to vermilion makes one red, and close to ink makes one black! After all, the negotiator was quite learned.
"So, what do you say? Want to do this with me?" Xing Yuan looked at the distracted individuals, her hand itching to draw her sword.
After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke, "A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Whatever the Major General says, we will do."
The speaker was young, full of youthful passion, eager to achieve great deeds through his efforts. Judging by his appearance, he was clearly moved by Xing Yuan's grand vision. After all, if this endeavor succeeded, it would surely be recorded in history.
"Good!" Xing Yuan immediately responded, for fear that he would change his mind.
She straightened her expression and looked around at everyone. "I have already requested permission from the Federal Emperor, and he has granted it."
"If we succeed, it will naturally be a good thing. If we fail, your families will receive a large sum of compensation. Of course, if you are unwilling to go, I will not force you."
"It is only because you are the people I trust the most that I am informing you of my decision in advance. This matter will be announced to the entire legion later. Those who wish to go can sign up, and in the end, I will only select the most outstanding."
After speaking, Xing Yuan remained in place and closed her eyes to rest. The selection process was mainly handled by Bai Xing Yu. She just needed to wait for everyone to arrive.
If it weren't for the disgusting and troublesome Zerg, making it impossible for her to get close to the Hive Mother, she would have gone herself. She wouldn't need so many people.
However, because she had harbored the idea of eradicating them completely in the past, she had already scouted the Hive Mother's lair. It was currently the Zerg's breeding season, and they could not move freely. Therefore, Xing Yuan was certain that the previous map would still be useful.
As soon as the news of the attack on the Zerg lair was released, even though many people found it somewhat unreliable, due to their trust in the Federal General and their hatred for the Zerg, many still eagerly participated.
Xi Yue had been extremely busy these past few days. She woke up to hear that the war was over. Before she could even rejoice, she heard that the General was going to kill the Hive Mother!
Xi Yue felt a severe headache. She had known her partner was crazy before, but she never expected her to be so crazy as to actively seek death.
It wasn't that she didn't believe in her partner, but the Hive Mother was too powerful.
Frankly speaking, no one could defeat the Hive Mother in a one-on-one fight. Moreover, the Zerg guarding the Hive Mother were the strongest in combat power.
Once the Hive Mother was attacked, the surrounding Zerg would instantly receive the signal and rush to the Hive Mother's location. Even Zerg in distant star systems would become frenzied. Therefore, it wasn't that no one had tried to attack the Hive Mother over the years; they simply couldn't succeed.
Xi Yue initiated a video call. It rang for a long time before someone finally answered.
As if knowing that Xi Yue had come to question her, Xing Yuan appeared somewhat timid. She blinked her eyes in confusion and asked innocently, "Sister~ What's wrong?"
Xi Yue let out a cold laugh and said icily, "What do you think, General?"
As if worried about provoking Xing Yuan's rebellious emotions, Xi Yue feigned gentleness. "The war is over, hurry back!" We'll settle this later.
Xing Yuan slowly and firmly shook her head, comforting her, "I know, don't worry, I'm confident."
"You're confident? How confident? Are you trying to gamble with your life? A Yuan, don't be foolish!" Xi Yue's voice trembled. She understood Xing Yuan too well. She never changed her mind once it was made, even if it was against Xi Yue herself.
Xing Yuan smiled helplessly, "Sister, I have a sense of proportion. Moreover, even if it's not today, I will kill it sooner or later. I don't want to appear here every once in a while. Isn't it better to end it once and for all?"
Xing Yuan did indeed have a sense of proportion. Although with interstellar technology, she couldn't kill the Hive Mother, her current physical strength could withstand the Heavenly Dao's pressure for a moment.
