Chapter 123 Swarm Ambush: Strike First
In the Sirius system, as large streaks of light flashed by, a large fleet appeared in the galaxy in the blink of an eye.
This is the advance fleet of the Sky Council. They arrived here because this is the signal transmission point.
Inside the flagship in the middle of the fleet, a group of aliens sat on chairs in the bridge, and one of them, who resembled an adjutant, was giving a report.
"Sir, we have arrived at the signal transmission point and are searching for the signal transmitter."
"Yes, at the same time, send out exploration ships to explore all the star systems within a 10-light-range radius and see if there are any discoveries among them."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, dozens of small spaceships flew out of the fleet and headed towards the surrounding star systems.
After the exploration ships were dispatched, dozens more ships appeared within the fleet, their destination being the signal transmission point within the Sirius system.
Meanwhile, on Mars, in the command center, Wang Yunfeng also saw these uninvited guests.
"Execute Plan 1 to carry out the ambush. I need to know the technological level of the ships in this fleet."
"Yes, sir."
At this time, numerous traps had already been set up within the Sirius system, and on Sirius within the Heng system, a small team was on standby, waiting for the enemy to walk right into their trap.
Soon, as the advance fleet searched the spacecraft, the location of the signal was quickly determined.
"Sir, we've confirmed that the signal transmission point is located on this planet in our system. Three nearby exploration ships have already headed to the destination, and support warships have also been deployed and are advancing towards the target location."
"Very good, it seems we'll soon know the exact location of that strange civilization."
For the Celestial Council, a habitable planet is of great value, so they also attach great importance to Blue Star and believe that it must be acquired.
In any case, according to the information transmitted back, the human civilization on this planet has only developed to the space age and is no match for them at all.
Along their path of advancement, they have also established multiple communication stations. Once they occupy this planet, they can use it as a center to radiate outwards to an area of at least 20 light-years.
Because it is a civilization composed of multiple races, it was stipulated when the council was established that any discovery made in space exploration belongs to the race that made it.
Fighting and snatching are not allowed. If anyone is caught, both parties will be severely punished, and the stolen items will be confiscated.
Under this system, the development of the Celestial Council is mainly centered on habitable planets, radiating to the surrounding star regions, and then connecting these star regions to form a unified territory.
If we manage to conquer Blue Star this time, we will follow the same procedure.
However, their ideas were destined to be unrealizable.
At this moment, in Sirius's orbit, the exploration spacecraft used triangulation to quickly locate the signal transmitter.
"Signal location detected. Prepare for landing."
The exploration spacecraft quickly landed on a plain not far from the signal transmitter.
Then a group of aliens, piloting personal spacecraft, rapidly advanced towards the location of the signal transmitter.
Before long, a civilized-style outpost came into view.
"Flagship, final confirmation complete. It has been identified as our outpost and is now entering."
"Received, be careful."
After shutting down communications, the exploration team cautiously approached the outpost.
These cabins, set up by explorers, all have defensive systems, so they need to stop and hack into the outposts' systems as they approach.
"System has been hacked, prepare to enter."
With the defense system breached, the exploration team slowly approached the outpost.
"Sizzle!"
As the gate to the outpost was opened, the situation inside was revealed to everyone.
"Report to flagship: The signal transmitter has been located and is being dismantled and brought back."
"Flagship product received!"
However, just as the exploration team was preparing to carry out the dismantling operation, the ground around the outpost began to shake.
"Something's wrong. Everyone on alert."
"Captain, several individuals with strong life-giving abilities have appeared below the ground and are rapidly advancing towards the surface."
"How much time do we have left?"
"Report, we have 3 minutes left before we can demolish it."
"As soon as possible!"
"Everyone else, immediately establish a defensive line and call for fleet support."
"Yes, Captain."
Following the expedition leader's order, everyone in the team immediately sprang into action and quickly established a temporary defensive line.
"Report to the flagship: Our exploration team has detected the presence of a powerful life form. Requesting fleet fire support."
"Flagship received. Exploration team, please note that suspected enemies have also appeared in other areas of the fleet. We are temporarily unable to provide support. You are ordered to remove the signal transmitters and retreat immediately."
"Yes, exploration team, received!"
Upon hearing that the situation within the fleet was also not good, everyone's hearts sank.
"Captain! That thing is out!"
"Splash!"
As the ground exploded, countless puppies emerged from the ground and headed directly towards the exploration team.
"Fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
As the laser rifle fired, the concentrated energy struck the advancing puppy directly.
However, this energy only knocked the puppy down, without causing any real damage.
If you get close, you can see that there are only tiny black dots on the puppy's chitinous shell, proving that it was attacked.
"Captain, something's wrong with these things; our attacks aren't working."
"I'll switch to an electromagnetic rifle. I refuse to believe it can defend against both energy and physical attacks."
"Da da da!"
As the electromagnetic rifles opened fire, the puppies began to suffer casualties, but the newly formed swarm of insects continued to advance.
"Captain, it's working, but the opponent's shell is too strong, so the damage is limited."
"Is everything disassembled?"
"Report, it has been demolished."
"Call in landing craft. Also, mark the location and prepare for a bombing run to create conditions for the landing craft to land."
"yes!"
"boom!"
Just then, a group of black dots were launched from behind the swarm and landed in the middle of the squad!
"puff!"
As the black dot exploded, green smoke immediately enveloped the area.
The smoke obstructed the exploration team's view of the swarm.
Fortunately, at this moment, long-range bombardment landed here, killing all the approaching swarms of insects, and the landing craft was able to land.
"Quickly, quickly, get out of here."
The captain couldn't care less about anything else at that moment; with so many insects, if his squad ran too slowly, they would become food for the insects.
As everyone boarded the landing craft and took off, they saw the sea of insects below.
After losing the exploration team, the insects returned directly to the underground from their original burrow.
After the landing craft entered space, they discovered that the entire fleet had been attacked.
Countless strangely shaped space creatures were constantly launching plasma and laser attacks at the fleet.
Meanwhile, the fleet was also launching a full-scale counterattack, with space creatures being killed one after another.
However, there were too many of these space creatures. Even though their warships had powerful intelligence, many of the escort ships suffered varying degrees of damage in the face of the overwhelming number of space creatures.
"Exploration team, follow the navigation instructions to the designated location. The threat on site will be dealt with soon."
"Exploration team received!"
Soon, following the navigation data provided by the flagship, the landing craft arrived safely inside a warship.
"Please hand over your weapons and signal transmitters; you need to be quarantined."
"yes!"
There was no resistance; they understood that this was a necessary procedure.
Soon, the physical examination reports for these people came out, and there were no abnormalities.
However, there are many strange creatures in the universe, so it remains in isolation.
Time passed slowly, and the battle in space ended after all the space creatures were destroyed.
But the battle on the planet continues.
"Damn it, what are these bugs? They're so resistant to our weapons."
"Never mind that, quickly mark the area and clear a safe zone for the landing craft to land. The flagship's order is for us all to retreat."
"yes!"
Soon, as the landing craft continued to descend, the surviving personnel were all rescued.
After all the personnel had left, the swarm of insects on the planet's surface burrowed back underground and disappeared.
Meanwhile, inside the flagship, the fleet commander was furious as he listened to his adjutant's report.
"Find out what's going on with these bugs as soon as possible. In just a short time, dozens of frigates have been lost and hundreds of personnel have been killed or wounded. We haven't even reached our destination yet, and such losses have already occurred. It's unforgivable."
"Sir, the most important thing now is to decipher the data inside the signal transmitter. We can mark this and hand it over to the legion for processing. Our main objective is still to conquer Earth."
"Sigh, report the situation here. These alien insects are too close to Earth, and there are even space creatures among them. This means that these insects are capable of interstellar travel, which poses a very serious threat."
"Yes, sir."
Before long, the data inside the signal transmitter was also deciphered, and the fleet captain was very excited to see the detailed coordinates of Blue Star.
Once he conquered Blue Star, his losses here would be insignificant, so he immediately ordered his fleet to prepare to depart for Blue Star.
The landing craft that had previously landed with a signal transmitter has undergone a new change.
Below the landing craft, a transparent liquid began to drip, instantly turning the floor's color upon contact and slowly wriggling towards the outside of the cabin.
These mimicry liquids moved swiftly, arriving at the crew's rest area in no time and entering one of the compartments.
