CHAPTER 441: CHAPTER 276: THE ATTACK! (4000)_3

"The Mercury Zerg are expected to reach Mars in about two hours."

The peak speed of the Zerg is, of course, faster than this, but maintaining a high speed requires more energy. To preserve energy reserves for the war, they generally don’t accelerate to a high speed at the beginning.

Human warships are the same; they only accelerate or run thrusters at overload during emergency situations.

"My interception fleet has been dispatched and will intercept the Zerg in space!"

He Xingzhou immediately said, "Make sure to maintain a safe distance! If the Venus Zerg initiate a collision, withdraw immediately!"

"Yes!" Luo An responded.

The Blue Star Alliance immediately held an emergency news briefing. The spokesperson announced, "Latest news, the Venus Zerg and Mercury Zerg have mobilized and are going to attack our Blue Star and Mars. Both planets are entering a state of war immediately. Combat units are to be dispatched immediately, and other personnel should prepare for refuge!"

In the virtual world, people could see war news and space warfare imagery via space reconnaissance satellites.

"The Zerg are coming!"

"We didn’t go looking for them, yet they dare provoke us—let’s smash them!"

"Invincible Fleet dispatched. Haha, finally waiting for the Golden Crow Fleet to move!"

"I’m so excited. This is the first real war encounter with the Zerg since I was born!"

"Don’t be overly optimistic. This is a matter threatening the survival of civilization!" someone reminded.

Black Sea Civilization, through the war imagery provided by He Xingzhou, could also see the scenes of war.

"Accelerate the manufacturing of resonance torpedoes! Skip the testing phase!" He Xingzhou modified the orders. The Zerg are coming too fast, and there isn’t much time to prepare.

"Understood!" The military factory immediately began manufacturing new resonance weapons.

At this moment, on Venus and Mercury, colossal figures emerged from underground, flying into space!

Most of them are metal giant beasts, with a few being carbon-based giant beasts. They are at the very least Planet Giant Beast Level, with the ratio of Planet Dominator Level exceeding that of the Zerg on Mars by twice!

"Humans, are you prepared to welcome us?" Leading the Venus Zerg troops was the same metal giant beast that chased the reconnaissance ship in space earlier. Its injuries recovered quickly and now it’s as good as new.

Meanwhile, the Mercury troops also had a leader.

"The leaders of these two giant beasts are both silicon-based giant creatures. Energy response shows they have reached High-level Planet Dominator Level. Their mass is ten times bigger than Noah Insect King, extremely close to the Planet Devourer!"

From their size, these two Insect Kings are not ten times larger than Noah Insect King, but they have metallic bodies! Their density is much greater, and their energy response is much stronger!

To distinguish them, reconnaissance ships named the Venus Zerg’s Insect King "Black Gold Insect King" because its body is covered in black metal.

Mercury Zerg troop’s Insect King was named "Furnace Insect King," its body covered in a layer of flowing liquid metal. Its high temperature ensures the liquid metal never solidifies, resembling a living volcanic furnace!

Both troops set out simultaneously, with the Venus Zerg intentionally slowing down to allow the Mercury Zerg to keep up, achieving the effect of both troops entering the human defense perimeter simultaneously.

The interception fleet dispatched by the Blue Star Alliance had also set out from various solar ports and planetary fortresses, heading for space.

According to the route and timing plan, the first "collision" would be between the Venus Zerg and the Golden Crow Main Fleet.

Most warships in this main fleet are previously built L2-level space destroyers, with some new L4-level warships newly added.

Each captain and crew member had already served for many years, with many having participated in the Mars campaign, making them quite experienced.

Their collision naturally attracted everyone’s attention!
