Chapter 288: Solving the Dilemma and Moving
Although dissatisfied, the Necron King still commanded the Necron Legion to meticulously complete the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
At the same time, he sighed as he looked at the wreckage of the planet Persephone, which had turned into a meteorite belt.
【Humans are truly an incredible race. 】
[Not only is he smart, he also has a strong fighting spirit. 】
[You actually have the courage to complete such a battle plan. 】
[Destroying an enemy that is a hundred times stronger than oneself... Such a feat is rare even in the history of the Milky Way. ]
The Deathly Lord had complicated thoughts.
I have a deeper understanding of the human race.
I have new thoughts on how to deal with the relationship between the Undead and the human race in the future.
Melinoe, the new main star of the Hope Galaxy.
The battered Hope and the depleted human fleet were anchored above the planet.
On the command deck of the Hope, the Great Sage Clark, Commander-in-Chief Kratos and thirty supreme commanders of the expeditionary corps held another secret meeting.
Compared to last time, there are two more outsiders this time.
The representatives of the Necrons are the Necromancer King Ulanska and the Necromancer Lord Hatas.
"Your Majesty Ulanska, thank you for your help. Without your support, the bait plan would have had to pay a heavier price."
On behalf of the human race, the Great Sage Clark expressed his sincere gratitude to the Undead King.
The Legion of Hope buried a giant black hole bomb in Persephone in advance. In order to lure the main force of the Zerg fleet into the killing range of the black hole, it paid the price of half a fleet and more than one billion mortal troops.
If the Necrons had not used their phase-shifting technology to help evacuate the citizens (although the Legion of Hope also possessed this technology, it did not have the capacity to transport it in a short period of time), tens of trillions of humans who were used as bait would have died.
"Everyone."
Kratos said solemnly: "Although our combat plan was successful and the first phase of the combat objectives were successfully completed, we still face tremendous war pressure."
"There are still millions of Zerg fleets wreaking havoc in the surrounding galaxies. The Zerg still have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength."
"We are still far from victory!"
Everyone was silent, looking depressed.
Yes. So what if the plan succeeded, so what if nearly two million Zerg warships were destroyed?
The Zerg still have millions of warships to squander.
But humans can't afford to lose any more. If we bomb one ship, we'll have one less.
"Commander-in-chief, our reconnaissance ships have detected that the Zerg fleet is regrouping, and more than a dozen fleets have already joined forces."
"There are currently four Zerg armies with a size of more than 500,000 ships."
"According to calculations, they are all heading towards the Hope Galaxy..."
After the intelligence officer finished his report, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more depressing.
The commanders looked very unhappy.
Kratos took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Zerg have also learned their lesson. They are following our example of concentrating their superior forces and attacking a single target with all their strength."
"No. We can't just sit there and take a beating!"
"Comrades, the current situation is the space version of the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign."
"Our ancestors said, if the people survive but the land is lost, both the people and the land will survive. If the land survives but the people are lost, both the people and the land will be lost."
"We have to fight a guerrilla war against the Zerg!"
"Stop it. What about the common people? We can't lead them to fight guerrilla warfare."
"Insects don't care about humanity. Without our protection, ordinary people will be eaten by insects."
"By then, we will be the only soldiers left. Even if we kill all the bugs, can we call it victory?"
"With so few people left, how many years will it take for this star region to recover?"
"It would be better not to fight and just run away with the civilians. Take as many as you can. At least fewer people will die."
"Find a place to rebuild your position and make a comeback."
"But... wouldn't that mean the Hope Expedition has failed?"
"We can't explain to Zhang Hong..."
"What can we do? What else can we do?"
"He left this mess behind and ran away, not caring about our lives at all!"
"If he were here, the battle wouldn't be so difficult."
"Well, now that you're awake, stop complaining and think about how to fight next..."
In the conference room, the top commanders argued with each other in red faces like shrews scolding in the street.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, so they can’t see their embarrassing appearance.
Otherwise, their glorious image as leaders in everyone's mind will surely be shattered.
"I have an idea."
At the critical moment, it was the outsider Hatas who broke the deadlock.
She said, "Since you are concerned about the civilians, why don't you just move them to a safe place? Just like in Persephone, if you move the civilians to a safe planet in another star field, you won't have to fight so constrained."
The supreme commanders were stunned, and all looked thoughtful.
They really hadn't thought of doing this, it seemed that they had fallen into some blind spot in their thinking.
At this time, the great sage Clark said.
"I have actually considered the plan you mentioned. But there are several difficulties."
"First, which planet should we transfer to? How can we ensure the survival of these tens of trillions of humans?"
“Second, if all civilians are relocated, who will produce military supplies for the army?
"The third and most crucial point."
After a pause, Clark looked deeply at the Necrons and asked, "How can we ensure the safety of these tens of trillions of people?"
"Human, I understand what you mean. It seems that you still have some concerns about us."
The Deathly Lord continued.
He glanced at everyone, then said to Clark solemnly: "I swear by the glory and honor of the Ulanska Dynasty that I will sincerely form an alliance with you and help each other. If you don't betray the alliance, Ulanska will never betray the alliance!"
"Your Majesty..." Hatas was shocked.
She had not expected that her king would be so serious as to use such an ancient contracting ceremony as an oath to show his sincerity.
With mixed feelings, she explained to everyone who still looked skeptical and distrustful.
"In our culture, an oath is the most sacred agreement. Once an oath is made, the Undead will execute it until death. You can rest assured. My king did not lie to you."
Clark looked at the Deathly Lord quietly for a moment, and suddenly smiled kindly.
Nodding: "I believe you."
After saying this, he winked at the others. The supreme commanders all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and the doubts on their faces disappeared at once.
This time it was the Deathly Lord's turn to be surprised.
He could feel the change in the attitude of the people around him, as if they really believed his oath.
No. How did you believe it so quickly?
Don't want to confirm again?
The Deathly Hallows had no idea why everyone was acting like this.
Little did they know that the reason why Clark and others were so confident was that they had nothing to fear.
[Now that the battle is over, I guess Zhang Hong has received the news and is coming back to take a look.]
[If you undeads dare to do bad things then... hehe. ]
[Naturally there will be a big boss who will take care of you. 】
With this idea in mind, everyone felt that it would be okay to trust the Necrons temporarily.
So, under the idea proposed by Hatas, everyone brainstormed and formulated a new targeted follow-up plan.
Ulanska provided several secret planets controlled by the Necrons. These planets are not currently occupied by humans or other aliens. The environment is habitable and there is no danger on the planets.
Located in the western part of the Ghoul Star Region, close to the center of the Milky Way and away from the war zone.
Suitable for temporary resettlement of civilians.
As for the task of moving, it can be left to the Necrons. It only takes them a few days to move all the humans in a system.
Packaged away along with some industrial factory production lines.
The Necrons have mastered powerful space compression technology and can directly pack up and take away an entire city.
If time permits, they would even be able to move the entire planet.
The Necrons' tomb world is a "planet" packed in a giant dimensional pocket, but moving around the galaxy.
