Chapter 257 That Old Sixth is Detestable!
In an unnamed conference room on a golden planet, the room was filled with people, all looking nervously at the white-haired elder in the main seat.
"Sage! What do we do now? Is this the unknown danger you spoke of? But where is that glimmer of hope you mentioned?"
In the conference room, a young man in a white and gold uniform excitedly asked the elder with his eyes closed in the main seat.
As soon as these words came out, the elder immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
After a while, the elder tremblingly took off his monocle and took out a golden notebook from his arms.
He opened the first page.
In a deep voice, he said, "Five days ago, I already discovered the problem with the constellations. Four major celestial bodies have disappeared from our observation sight. This is something I cannot understand. So, I used the Grand Prophecy Spell. The result is what you see now. I have become like this."
He sighed weakly and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"However, although I paid a small price, I still vaguely obtained some clues. The danger comes from the home planet! At the same time, our glimmer of hope also comes from the home planet. This seems a bit difficult to understand, but that is the case."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the young man spoke almost simultaneously, "But the home planet has no magic essence. How could they possibly have the power to affect us? Or even cause us such great harm!"
Speaking of this, the young man choked up a little.
"The Carlos Academy has been directly turned into ruins, and our Sage Hollen is still missing. Also, the locations that were directly hit… those magical beasts of unknown origin took the opportunity to attack. We have suffered heavy losses."
"..."
The others nodded in agreement.
"I know, but this is no longer something we can change. What we need now is to seize the future! Before coming here, I used the Grand Prophecy Spell again. Our glimmer of hope will not come immediately, but our crisis seems to end here. At least, in my prediction, our crisis is not deepening."
"So, my deduction is that those magical creatures are likely injured and are currently recuperating. When they are finished recuperating, that will be when our hope arrives, saving us from danger."
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of everyone in the room shook!
It made sense, too much sense! But why did it feel so familiar? Old man, you wouldn't have just read some pulp novel, would you?
Saving us from danger?
Dream on. We can't even beat the boss while it's weakened. You think we can wait for it to recover???
"Ahem, Sage, let's take our time and discuss this. Let's first think about the rescue operations for the people in the areas that were directly attacked."
Several people awkwardly interrupted the elder's blissful imagination.
The elder stiffened and waved his hand.
"Yes, I'm getting old. You guys talk then."
After speaking, he began to close his eyes and rest.
It was good if he didn't have to worry about it.
In the end, it was decided to temporarily transfer two reserve legions from the rear to fight those monsters. The front-line legions still needed to fight against the abyss, so they couldn't be transferred back for the time being.
"Sylvie! You will lead the team this time. Be sure to perform well. This is a good opportunity to make a contribution."
"..." The young man looked at the person patting his shoulder with an expression that seemed to say, 'You lucky kid.' A stiff smile was squeezed out of his face. Lucky my ass! Why don't you go!
…………
The Spire of the Zergling Hatchlings had been completed. The creep hatchlings were really awesome.
Even in the scorched earth and rubble, the hatchlings could still obtain some of the necessary materials and convert them into the power they needed.
Moreover, they could still operate normally even in this high-temperature environment.
With four Zergling Spires built in a row, a large pit had been dug out of the surrounding soil. Because it didn't have the rich biological energy of Blue Star, the required material quality was also greater.
Four was still a bit too much, but the hatchlings were already hyped up and didn't seem to feel any fatigue at all. They were determined to have a good time today!
Therefore, there weren't many Zergling Hatchlings returning to rest, except for those who had been completely and utterly emptied. Only then would they return to the spire to rest with extreme reluctance.
As the Zergling Hatchlings' attack area gradually expanded, the Queen Hatchling had also begun. The scorched earth had cooled down, but not completely. On the scorched earth that was still emitting wisps of heat, creep tumors were already being laid down one by one.
This was to cooperate in building a home for the hatchlings here and to transform the environment. After a while, the hatchlings on land could begin their landing operations. After all, after the first round of firepower coverage, the other party would definitely send scouts to take a look.
Therefore, at this time, some harmless and cute ground hatchlings were needed to carry out friendly expulsion.
"Roar!" (Awesome! This is the most comfortable thing besides the Queen's head pat! Hehehe!)
The Zergling's scream was filled with excitement.
After all, the Zergling Hatchlings loved these enemies without any anti-air capabilities and could enjoy the game to their heart's content.
But the next moment.
A golden blade shot toward the Zergling Hatchling's direction.
With a light turn, it easily dodged it.
Pfft...
Huh? Why was there still the sound of flesh breaking?
"Roar!! Roar ah ngh!" (You $%^%…!) A roar of indignation came from behind.
(You dodged it, what about me! That attack landed on me!)
On the abdomen of the hatchling, there was a bowl-sized hole from which green liquid was constantly flowing.
The Zergling Hatchling was a classic case of high attack and low defense. It would be injured by even a small amount of attack power.
"Roar!" (I was wrong! Sorry, bro!)
"Roar!" (Don't hit me! Let's go get revenge together! Yes, revenge!)
The sound was drowned out by a loud explosion. The poor sneak attacker didn't even have time to cheer for his hit before being rewarded by God for his honor.
Worthless.
But this incident served as a reminder that the natives of this planet seemed to have a bit of the Queen's shadow. They liked to play dirty.
How annoying! The original flawless landing might have even earned the Queen's head pat! Now it was gone!
