Chapter 1845: Chapter 578: Luring the Swarm Indoors (6k)_2

Even if it looks obvious that it was deliberately dismantled, you can tell what it was before it was dismantled.

"Approaching target Insect Swarm, all warships ready!"

Within the flagship of the fleet, the Fleet Commander reminded over the channel.

"Remember, we do not represent any official authority this time, it’s forbidden to mention any related matters. Screen communications to leave no trace of the Quantum Network.

According to the established plan, terminate all conventional operation processes!"

"Yes!" ×n

A series of responses flashed through the fleet’s communication channels, and only then did the Commander turn and bow to a short woman behind him.

"Next, I’ll leave it to you. I’ll do my best to assist you in the intervals of commanding the fleet, esteemed Quantum Ghost."

"Mm, don’t worry, I’ve already taken over all nearby Quantum Networks using ’Ghost Observation’, no traces will be left."

The woman known as "Quantum Ghost" had disheveled hair and loose clothing, looking like she had just been dragged out of bed, with a sleepy expression. Yet her words immediately reassured the Commander.

This woman, who showed no intimidation, was actually the top Mechanical Master of the Gemini Empire.

As Commander, he was temporarily promoted to a Seventh Rank Mechanical Master and had once studied under her. Calling her a teacher would not be an exaggeration, and he was well aware of her strength.

Usually responsible for the defense of the Mother Star, she would not have intervened if not for the confidentiality required by this mission.

In fact, even now, she left a "Ghost Avatar" in the Mother Star to maintain protection.

"Then I’m relieved, all warships switch to ’Anti-Insect Swarm Gene Weapons’, prepare for action!"

Re-entering command mode, the Commander immediately issued the order.

In front, a huge virtual screen unfolded synchronously, clearly projecting the battlefield situation.

It was a intermediate civilization colonization star under the Heide civilization, located at the border of this intermediate civilization and the Heide civilization.

For a lower civilization wholly subordinate to itself, this intermediate civilization had no real concept of borders, almost completely overlapping with the range of the Heide civilization’s influence.

Their objective this time was to drive this Insect Swarm into the true colonization star of the Heide civilization!

The current Insect Swarm was clearly restrained by some behind-the-scenes force, and would not proactively attack advanced civilizations, which is not what the Three Great Civilizations wanted!

But as long as they proactively create hostility between the Insect Swarm and those advanced civilizations, the behind-the-scenes force would have to go along.

After all, with the anti-Insect Swarm weapon, the purpose of the force controlling the Insect Swarm was now to wreak havoc as much as possible.

Jumping to a location near the battlefield, there’s no need for command, the main intelligence of the ship had already distributed and executed the orders.

"Anti-Insect Swarm rapid-fire cannons ready, target locked, fire."

The voice of the main intelligence of the ship sounded without inflection, and the fleet immediately launched two high-frequency barrages at the undefended planet. Compared to the sparse barrage ahead, the rear was so dense it was hard to evade.

However, as they were not high-power weapons, the effect was a gene breakdown ray, not causing any explosions.

The two barrages seemed to land plainly on the ground without causing a stir, but the Insect Swarm on the planet scattered, escaping without any thought of resistance.

Seeing this, the Commander was immediately convinced of his thoughts.

"As expected, these Insect Swarms are interconnected. The previous tests of anti-Insect Swarm weapons have already spread among them.

Proceed with the plan, use artillery fire to drive out the Insect Swarm!"

The fleet gradually approached, with the previously fired rapid-fire cannon intermittently launching continuous barrages.

It appeared magnificent, but it was not dense and intentionally aimed around the target, so the attacks were off-mark.

After all, their goal was to drive, not annihilate. If they wiped out the Swarm before it reached the target star, it would be a wasted effort.

He deliberately didn’t choose to use those truly destructive ship cannons for this reason.

If real annihilation was the goal, there were more large-scale destructive weapons provided by Fan Mao.

Similarly, in driving the Insect Swarm, compared to the past Carli Empire, the current methods of the Gemini Empire appeared more advanced.

The continuous shelling almost unceasingly poured into the fleeing Insect Swarm, yet it precisely passed through gaps in the Swarm, hitting nothing.

It was like firing a beam at atomic nuclei, mostly passing through the spaces.

A few unlucky insects encountered the gene-polluting beam, but also dodged due to their innate high reflexes.

"These Insect Swarms are quite smart, realizing that staying still avoids the artillery fire, they stabilized quickly.

I expected to clear out more Insect Swarm before driving them away."

Watching the real-time data feedback on the virtual screen, the Commander was quite astonished by the reaction of these Insect Swarms.

However, this almost abnormal reaction speed was good news for him, and instead of delving deeper, he focused on another more important matter.

"Esteemed ’Quantum Ghost’, what’s the status on network control?"

The Commander solemnly turned back to ask, only to immediately don a deadpan expression, helplessly looking at the teacher who had collapsed with a hand over her face for an unknown reason.
