CHAPTER 1161: CHAPTER 1133: THE ENSLAVED SPECIES OF EMERALD STAR

Regarding the First Sovereign, Chen Fei also didn’t know whom to contact, after all, his corresponding unit is the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, and all communication goes through the headquarters at Habulav.

For now, all he can do is focus on the star system where Emerald Star is located. Ultimately, he needs to forcefully swallow this big opportunity in front of him, as that’s the most crucial task right now.

If Emerald Star is a ranch of the "Sagali" civilization (or perhaps one of them), then now it belongs to Chen Fei.

Since the envoy of the "Sagali" civilization said so, let’s make it official.

This spoils of war was hard-fought and obtained with real weapons, and no one can just lip service it away. Chen Xiao’er would be the first to object.

Within the star system where Emerald Star is located, the number of biological space motherships has already dwindled to single digits. As long as their number doesn’t combine into more than four, these remaining ones cannot pose a threat to Chen Fei’s layout.

Out of the more than one hundred "Star Perch" that made great contributions in the Second Battlefield, only a little over thirty survived after the battle. Although many of the space biological combat weapons were fodder, they managed to overwhelm a third, with the rest mostly vaporized directly by the beams of the biological space motherships.

Chen Fei did not commend or reward, instead, he mercilessly dismantled the mill after using the donkey, as the Starlight Cannon Array only fired one volley, clearing out the remaining "Star Perch" thoroughly, not even leaving them a few dozen hours of remaining life time.

Uncontrolled chess pieces disappearing early is better.

After cleaning up the Second Battlefield, he simply replenished the number of combat motherships. S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown activated the special ability "Space Transmission" to continue deploying the third and fourth battlefields within the star system, preparing to intercept the remaining biological space motherships that were about to arrive.

If he continued to wait at the Second Battlefield on the orbital path of the fourth planet, Canghai Star, it would take at least ten years for the biological space motherships coming from the edge of the star system to arrive at the battlefield.

If a massive celestial body needs to accelerate abruptly, it will inevitably consume a huge amount of energy and take a very long time. Even the biological space motherships can’t achieve the swiftness of stillness or the speed of a fleeing rabbit.

Back when Chen Fei used the Hohmann Transfer Orbit to trigger a gravity slingshot in the "Sagali" civilization’s ancestral star system, sending out many asteroid bodies, it took many orbits to successfully launch them. Relying solely on the thrust of rocket engines, it was far from enough to escape the planetary gravitational pull.

Chen Fei couldn’t wait that long. He had to end the battle within the star system in a short time, securing control of the star system where Emerald Star is located. Only then could he have enough time, energy, and influence to deal with the Blue Star Sovereignties.

The attitude and tactics of the Blue Star Sovereignties were still unclear to Chen Fei, but if he had no trump cards in his hand, taking valuables through the market would result in an unpleasant outcome. Where’s the fairness and justice in this world?

The battle within the star system lasted for a week.

The final result was not beyond Chen Fei’s expectations, after all, he held a numerical advantage from the beginning. The number of biological space motherships stationed in this star system was far less than the group that raided the "Sagali" civilization’s ancestral star system. With multiple engagements, the AI "Adam" gathered a large amount of data, deduced some combat models of the biological space motherships, and could calculate some targeted tactics.

Just like in the "Sagali" civilization’s ancestral star system, more than a dozen space observatories were deployed on the periphery of the star system where Emerald Star is located, using radio and optical telescopes to gather information on the nearby starry sky.

Without the assistance of the S-Class Space Ability User, Chen Fei wouldn’t have been able to achieve this. The only option might have been passive defense on the home front, so for seizing control of the star system, Heseman Brown deserved the greatest credit.

Probes distributed in synchronous orbit of each planet repeatedly scanned the entire star system to confirm there was no longer a single biological space mothership present. Only then did Chen Fei’s small flying ship return to the surface of Emerald Star.

The landing site of the small flying ship wasn’t at a military base controlled by AI, but near a "Seed Nest", several thousand kilometers away from the nearest base.

The scale of this "Seed Nest" was indeed small, just over a hundred meters in circumference. The calm "water surface" barely resembled a slightly larger pond, with an ambient temperature of only single digits Celsius. Above the "Seed Nest" wafted a hazy mist, while shadows about a meter long drifted below the water, few in number, with no large individuals visible.

Due to the small size, the monsters born from this "Seed Nest" were mostly juveniles, with almost zero combat capability, relying on chewing plants or cannibalism to acquire the necessary nutrients for growth. An ordinary person with a stick could easily beat one of these small creatures to death in a one-on-one fight.

The mist along the shore was denser, and combined with the dim light, visibility was less than twenty meters.

Further away, since the warmth emitted by the "Seed Nest" couldn’t be maintained, the temperature plummeted, leaving the ground encrusted with thick white frost. Fine snowflakes occasionally fell from the sky, and as the fog dissipated, visibility improved again, but the view was obscured by lush fern forests, making it difficult to see far.

"Such a small ’Seed Nest’, it might as well be raised a bit longer!"

Having become accustomed to the sight of Chen Fei harvesting those immense ’Seed Nests’ that looked like lakes, the diminutive ’Seed Nest’ was now dismissed by Miyoshi Monk.

The "Life Tree" within the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, after absorbing the blood and corpses of dozens of biological space motherships and countless space biological combat weapons, expanded the green territory under the barrier to a diameter of a thousand kilometers, nearly a tenth of the longest stretch of the continental plate, occupying one-twelfth of the entire land area.

The impact spread to the continental plate and oceans, volcanoes ceased frequent eruptions, rivers of flowing lava quickly cooled into rolling black rock hills, and the daily raging winds and torrential rains with towering waves that once triggered hundred-meter-high tsunamis against the coastline were no longer present. While the wind and waves persisted, they were much calmer.

Above the treetops reaching over two thousand meters, a giant light orb illuminated the vast expanse, and beneath the canopy, it was as bright as day, where countless creatures made their home.

From a distance of thousands of kilometers in this direction, it is no longer a piece of gloomy darkness. Instead, one can vaguely see a whitening skyline, and the alchemical device prepared to simulate a constant star light source is facing a job market crisis of being laid off before even starting work.

"My target is not this ’seed nest,’ but of course, even a small mosquito is still meat!"

Wearing the "Dragon Guard" assault type single soldier tactical armor, which allows easy movement, Chen Fei walked out of the airship cabin door, stepped onto the ground, and waved his hand.

Under the shroud of spiritual power, the pond-sized "seed nest" disappeared from its place, along with several dozen other "seed nests" within a range of hundreds of kilometers, all of varying sizes, which also vanished together. All of them became nourishment for the "Life Tree."

Now, not only has the single tree become a forest, but the scale of this "Life Tree," which can even be considered as turning a single tree into a mountain, has not yet reached its limit. Even if snow lines appeared at the treetop, Chen Fei wouldn’t be surprised at all.

"..."

Miyoshi Monk even began to suspect that Chen Fei intended to sweep clean all the "seed nests" on the entire planet’s surface.

Although many large "seed nests" have been taken away, there are even more smaller ones, and even with such effort, time is still quite pressing!

The Blue Star Civilization’s deployment of the Tsar Plus on Emerald Star carries the strategic significance of causing a global, large-scale nuclear winter. There was never any thought of leveling all "seed nests" on the surface in one go, which is simply impossible. The real goal is to use the weather to inflict widespread damage.

"There are some special things hidden here."

Chen Fei looked towards the 10 o’clock direction on his left and made a gesture.

A team of fully armed combat mechs rushed down from the small airship and spread out in a skirmish line towards the direction Chen Fei was examining.

A sound of branches breaking and strange squeals echoed from the dense forest, along with intense collisions, until a few muffled thuds returned the area to silence.

"Mental shock, could it be ’Sagali’?"

Miyoshi Xuesen rubbed his forehead, drawing a sharp breath as the familiar piercing brain pain indeed felt like a mental shock.

The surface of Emerald Star had never encountered parasitic species before, but it was unexpected that they hid here.

Heseman Brown, the S-Class Space Ability User, also frowned, while the Earth Element Order War Professional Dang Wei Jun remained unfazed, calmly coming to Chen Fei’s side. He drew a long knife; his single soldier tactical armor was specially customized, equipped with measures to defend against spiritual power attacks.

"It’s not ’Sagali’!"

Chen Fei shook his head.

At this moment, the combat mech team that had rushed out earlier returned with a large and a small humanoid figure caught in nets.

Wrapped in fur robes and grass-woven cloth, they with hair disheveled, emitted constant strange roars.

"Spiritual seed, no, human?"

"Primitive people?"

Miyoshi Xuesen and Heseman Brown looked incredulously at the "prey" the combat mechs brought back.

"To be precise, they should be an enslaved race; they are not human!"

Chen Fei had not previously realized that the surface of Emerald Star concealed a tribe of enslaved races.

He had once seen an enslaved race guarding a "seed nest" inside one on Cangqiong Star, possessing talents in the psychic field like "Sagali," being one of the spoils of the "Sagali" civilization’s conquests of various life planets.

This information came from one of the minority members within "Sagali," named "Taga." Unfortunately, this communicable parasitic species died too early and couldn’t provide more intelligence.

Chen Fei came here to capture this tribe of enslaved races.

Emerald Star is already in his hands, and he cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside him on the couch.
