There was still an hour before the arrival of the Federation's fleet. Cosmic Current Node Chels.
After issuing orders through the Zerg's mental network, Aliya, who was watching hundreds of Zerg swarms enter the nests one after another, felt her irritation vanish. She even felt like she was floating in the air.
Elated, she once again connected to the frontline Zerg's senses and began to check the situation on the battlefield to kill the last hour of boredom.
But …
'Huh?
Why does this feel a little off? '
It was still an extremely tragic battlefield. A large number of Zerg combat Zerg died almost every second. Of course, there were also the occasional deaths of some Inferno Creatures.
It seemed to be no different from before …
'But why do I feel like something is wrong?'
Aliya's mind raced as she fell into deep thought. It was not until a minute later that her eyes suddenly widened. She finally realized what was wrong.
Although the current battlefield was still very tragic, compared to before, the most tragic place was missing …
The Slaughterhouse of Ipnos!
Yes, the Slaughterhouse of Ipnos …
This name was quite appropriate. After all, every time there was a war, as long as it was within one AU of Ipnos, it would feel like a slaughterhouse.
In almost every battle, the Zerg casualties in this area accounted for almost half of the total Zerg casualties in a normal battle. This … was a terrifying thing.
Now, although the battlefield was still tragic, the Slaughterhouse was no longer there. As the main character of this Slaughterhouse, Ipnos had also disappeared. Aliya constantly switched the senses of her Zerg's combat Zerg all over the battlefield and searched the entire star field but could not find any trace of it!
"Damn it, at this critical moment, where did that guy go?"
As long as it was a living creature, whether it was a human or an Zerg, they would have desires!
And control was one of the desires at the source.
No living creature would like things to be out of their control, and Aliya was no exception.
However, at this moment, with the disappearance of Ipnos, it was clear that the situation was somewhat out of Aliya's control.
This made her feel a little irritated again. Even if she kept comforting herself that the human fleet would arrive soon and that Ipnos would not be able to play any big tricks in an hour … she could not suppress this irritation!
While Aliya continued to search for Ipnos, not far away, only tens of millions of kilometers away, a pair of huge claws suddenly stretched out from the void …
Using the same method of instant gratification, it directly tore the void to both sides. A western dragon the size of a star quickly rushed out from the void and let out a roar …
Even in space where sound should not be transmitted could not stop its roar from reaching the minds of every Zerg here. Aliya and the Zerg Kings were still alright, but the Zergs at the combat Zerg level began to tremble …
This was the absolute difference in the ranks of creatures, resulting in dimensional suppression. Ordinary combat insects could not resist at all.
At this moment, Aliya was Ipnos!
As someone who commanded Zerg swarms to fight against the dragon all day long, she knew very well the origin of this dragon.
At the same time, Aliya was also very clear about the threat that Ipnos could pose.
It was only now that she realized a problem …
Since the humans would arrive in an hour, why did she send almost all of her combat power to Xassar?
Why did she send almost all of her combat power to Xassar Sector?
As for letting the Voidreavers attack Ipnos directly?
Sorry, if it was a few months ago, Aliya would have considered it. Not only did she consider it, but she also put it into action.
However, she found that Ipnos' skin had become even more indestructible. Even the Voidreavers, which could easily tear a hole in the body of a Class 7 Leader and invade it, could not break a hole in Ipnos' skin.
Therefore, it was impossible to use the Voidreavers to kill Ipnos!
In the next few months, Aliya completely gave up on the strategy of besieging Ipnos. Instead, she continuously sent swarms of Zergs to Ipnos, waiting to be executed.
All he wanted was to use the deaths of a large number of combat insects to slow it down.
This was also why after Ipnos recovered from his injuries and returned to the battlefield, the originally balanced situation of the Zerg race instantly collapsed.
Since Ipnos had pinned down nearly half of the insectoids' forces, the infernal creatures on the other battlefields had a much easier time, and the insectoids were instantly routed.
After Ipnos flew out of the spatial passage, a large number of Void Dragons also flew out, which made Aliya's expression turn even uglier.
After all, Ipnos alone and Ipnos with the help of a group of purgatory creatures were two completely different concepts.
However, there was no other way. They could only bite the bullet and drag it out until the Federation's fleet arrived!
There were about a thousand ordinary Zergs, hundreds of guard Zergs of various ranks, and dozens of special Zergs.
This was already all of Aliya's forces in Chels. Forget about the Xassar Star Zone, she did not even have 1% of the Vitara Star Zone's forces!
With a thought, the order was sent through the Zerg's mental network. All the Zergs surrounded the spatial passage that Ipnos had torn open.
However, Ipnos did not seem to see these Zergs. Its huge dragon eyes were staring at the humanoid existence tens of millions of kilometers away … Zerg Queen Aliya!
After realizing that it should be the Zerg Queen, Ipnos immediately became excited. He could no longer suppress the impulse in his body. He opened his mouth wide, and energy began to gather wildly in front of his bloody mouth …
"Not good!"
After seeing Ipnos' actions, Aliya immediately realized that something was wrong …
How could she, who had been commanding the war bugs to fight Ipnos for a whole year, not be able to resist its signature attack?
It was only tens of millions of kilometers away, and it was quite dangerous.
After all, Thalia knew that Ipnos' attack could even hit a target 2 AU away. It was a super long-range attack!
However, it was too late to escape now.
Aliya's mental power exploded wildly and spread out through the Zerg's mental network.
The Type 1 King Bugs around Aliya started to lose their consciousness as their eyes turned white.
The 30 or so Zerg Kings that had lost their consciousness began to move towards Aliya like puppets under her control.
"Advance to the line between me and Ipnos!"
"Zerg Force Field, focus on the front!"
"It's coming. Whether we can survive or not, we'll see!"
Thirty-two Class 1 Zergs had all lined up in front of Aliya and deployed their Zerg Force Fields in front of them.
In just a few seconds, the terrifying ray had crossed tens of millions of kilometers and arrived in front of the Class 1 Zerg King that was at the front.
The Zerg King's Force Field was broken. Almost at the same time, the Class 1 Zerg King was devoured by the ray. Not even a trace of ash was left behind.
The second … the third … the fifth … the tenth …
It was only when the twelfth Class 1 Zerg King's Force Field did not break like the previous eleven.
However, that was all. A second later, the shield broke through the Zerg King's Force Field, just like the previous Zergs.
The situation began to change when the twenty-fourth Class 1 Zerg King appeared.
After breaking through the defenses of twenty-three Class 1 Zerg Kings, Ipnos' attack had exhausted most of its energy. After the twentieth Zerg King, every Zerg King could hold on for a few seconds.
The clash between the spear and the shield continued. Unfortunately, the Zerg King was still a breath away, but it still managed to hold on for a full ten seconds.
Finally, the lucky one appeared when the twenty-fourth Zerg King appeared.
The light beam, which had almost depleted its energy, was finally completely blocked. The damage it caused was only a crack in the field that the King Beetle had spread out.
Aliya did not waste any more time. She immediately mobilized all of her mental energy and opened up a tunnel leading to the hive outside of 5AU. She went in without hesitation.
The other Zerg Kings followed closely behind her.
On the battlefield, only the Zerg King, all of Chels' Zerg swarm, Ipnos, and its descendant, the Void Dragon remained.
With only the Zerg Kings left, Ipnos charged forward. The slaughterhouse appeared once again.
-----
In the cosmic ocean current, the Herlous was moving forward by following the current.
"Commander, urgent battle report!"
"Send it to my command terminal!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Yu sat in the main seat on the bridge. He opened the terminal and found the battle report that Bai Xuan had just sent. He quickly opened it.
Soon, Lin Yu frowned.
"This … this old man really guessed it right!"
"Commander, what's going on?"
Bai Xuan knew who Lin Yu was talking about. Wasn't that the marshal of the entire Federation Starfleet, Lin Fan?
Could it be that something bad had happened to the battle?
"Well, it's not a big problem. It's just that the Zerg Queen Aliya did something stupid, and then the Planet Devourer Ipnos seized the opportunity to attack Chels."
"Right now, Chels is in a fight right now."
Lin Yu smiled and did not seem to care at all.
As he said before, as long as Ipnos did not completely control Chels and block the exit of the ocean current …
There was no need to care at all.
