While Zhao Chen was considering the next strategic deploynt, Lilith had already finished the pre-war mobilization and preparations.
"All Interstellar Warships of the Xiaolong Fleet can enter combat readiness within half an hour, and all strategic materials are fully prepared!"
Lilith also provided Zhao Chen with a list detailing the status of all Interstellar Warships in the Xiaolong Fleet.
Actually, there hadn't been much change since the military action at the end of last year, as all the ships built in January were support-type Interstellar Warships.
Who could have imagined that this insectoid plague would suddenly erge?
However, with Zhao Chen's current forces, while he might not be able to wipe out these Interstellar Insectoids, he still possessed the ability to protect himself in their midst.
"Twenty T3 Blizzards and five T3 Phantom Assassins will all be deployed this ti.
Considering the speed gap between T3 Interstellar Warships and t2 star battleships, we won't move as a single unit this ti.
T3 Interstellar Warships will set off first.
t2 star battleships will follow after.
The T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship will stand by in the interstellar fringe space of the Arctic Fox Star System; just assign ten T2 Black Rhinos to escort it.
Leave ten T2 Black Rhinos and one T2 Blizzard Zero at ho.
The remaining forty T2 Black Rhinos, ten T2 Snow Mastiffs, five T2 Lion Kings, and one T2 Queen Bee will form the second combat echelon."
Zhao Chen explained his combat deploynt.
Currently, the T3 Phoenix-class Heavy Carrier Starship was still in the confidential stage; it would naturally be best to announce its existence as late as possible.
As for the T3 Phantom Assassin, it was an Interstellar Stealth Bomber; its stealth performance made it very suitable for Zhao Chen's current situation, allowing it to operate with the fleet without fear of being discovered.
As for pre-arranging the T3 Phoenix in the interstellar fringe space of the Arctic Fox Star System, it was a precaution in case it was truly needed.
It could use the Star Gate to rush to the battlefield imdiately; within the North Wind Star Sector, it would take half a day at most and only a few hours at the fastest.
"Understood, I will relay the orders." Lilith imdiately went to convey Commander Zhao Chen's instructions.
Zhao Chen was currently pondering a problem.
That was the matter of hunting thirty T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships; the number of T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships was scarce.
The Lord Fleet commanded by the North Wind Governor and the Imperial Army would surely take them as primary targets; if his actions were slightly delayed...
He might not even be able to gather thirty T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships by then.
"The first task must be rushed." Zhao Chen rubbed his chin as a sowhat crazy idea popped into his head.
When the ti ca, the prepared Xiaolong Fleet set off.

North Wind Star Sector · North Wind Main Star System · Governor's Office
"What is the current situation?" The North Wind Governor looked at the star map of the entire North Wind Star Sector.
Various Star Systems across the North Wind Star Sector showed patches of red areas; if one looked closely, one or several extrely red dots could be found at certain locations within those red areas.
"As of now, the number of Cosmic Insectoid Hives has expanded to eighty-nine! And new Cosmic Insectoid Hives are still appearing.
Among them are six Level 3 Cosmic Insectoid Hives, eighteen Level 2 Cosmic Insectoid Hives, and sixty-five Level 1 Cosmic Insectoid Hives.
The number of affected Star Systems has reached thirty-nine!" the subordinate nearby reported nervously, then updated several more red areas on the star map in front of the North Wind Governor.
At a glance, nearly one-fifth of the North Wind Star Sector was red, and there was a trend of continuous outward expansion.
"To have so many Cosmic Insectoid Hives appear so densely in such a short ti is unheard of!" The North Wind Governor frowned.
"Yes, based on the current situation, it's highly likely to exceed one hundred Cosmic Insectoid Hives in the end!
The concern now is... whether a Level 4 Cosmic Insectoid Hive will appear! We can still handle Level 3 Cosmic Insectoid Hives, but if it's a Level 4 Cosmic Insectoid Hive... it might even threaten the safety of the entire North Wind Star Sector!" the subordinate said worriedly.
The North Wind Governor said solemnly, "How is the execution of the sector-wide mobilization order?"
"So far, excluding the affected Star Systems, a total of about ten thousand ships from the Lord Fleets can be mobilized from other Star Systems.
But considering that two-thirds of them are t1 interstellar battleships, they won't play a big role on the front lines.
The number of Interstellar Warships that can truly be deployed to the front lines against the Interstellar Insectoids is less than three thousand!" the subordinate said.
"Three thousand... that's within expectations; after all, mobilizing the Lord Fleets is just a stopgap asure.
The most important thing is the deploynt of the Imperial Army.
We have three legion-level Imperial Armies stationed in the North Wind Star Sector, totaling nearly ten thousand Interstellar Warships; what's their status?" the North Wind Governor asked.
"The three legion-level Imperial Armies have been ordered to support the disaster-stricken Star Systems, but because there are simply too many Star Systems suffering from the insectoid plague..."},{
"Relying solely on the three legion-level Imperial Armies is still not enough," the subordinate said worriedly.
"I have reported the situation to the Empire and requested the deploynt of Imperial Armies from several surrounding star regions to support our North Wind Star Sector!" The North Wind Governor said in a low voice, "No matter what, we must minimize the losses this ti.
We absolutely cannot let a tragedy like hell on earth play out in our North Wind Star Sector!"
"Yes!"
...
It had been three days since the North Wind Star Sector was first attacked by the Interstellar Insectoids.
By now, many planets had been invaded by Interstellar Insectoids, and large and small Interstellar Insectoid battles had broken out everywhere, with mixed results.
Facing Zerg Fleets that only had T2 Zerg Hive Motherships, local Starfleets could still manage.
But if they were facing a Zerg Fleet with a T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership, it was a completely different story.
A Zerg Fleet with a T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership could only hope to be annihilated by relying on the Imperial Army Fleet.
But currently, the Imperial Army Fleet, acting as the firefighter, was unfortunately stretched too thin.
K3000 Star System
A Level 3 Cosmic Insectoid Hive appeared here, leading to harassnt by T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships.
Several planets had already fallen.
The situation now was like a plague, beginning to corrode the entire K3000 Star System!
Outside the Sixth Planet of the K3000 Star System
This planet had a very beautiful planetary ring, but at this mont, a very tragic battle was breaking out beyond that ring.
A coalition Lord Fleet of about a thousand Interstellar Warships was resisting a dark mass of Zerg Fleets.
And within the Zerg Fleet, two T3 Insectoid Hive Motherships could be seen!
A massive swarm of insects swept toward the coalition Lord Fleet.
It looked like the coalition's defensive line was about to collapse.
"Report, our left flank defense has fallen!" a crew mber shouted in terror.
The coalition Fleet Commander's face was filled with horror; looking at the star map, he could see a gap appearing on one side of the defensive line, with dense insectoid life signals pouring into it.
The scene was absolutely terrifying.
Their Interstellar Warships were in imminent danger!
"It's over... it's completely over..." The coalition Fleet Commander's face was pale.
