Marshal, Please Calm Down (MARSHAL)
After Feng Yan'er finished speaking timidly, Prince Maijia finally released her hand.
Feng Yan'er rubbed her red and swollen hand as a flash of hatred flickering beneath her lowered gaze. However, she dared not reveal it in the slightest.
She had no desire to join this ambush against the Mother Zerg, but Prince Maijia would never allow her to leave his side.
With Feng Yan'er, the 'informed one,' by his side, he could accurately ensure that he surpassed everyone else in strength.
Not only was Feng Yan'er brought along, but the Feng Family Head and Cui Yi also came. In such a dangerous place, the safety of all three rested on Prince Maijia, so Feng Yan'er dared not offend her protector even more.
After listening to Feng Yan'er's recount once again, Prince Maijia took a deep breath to calm the excitement on his face.
He then looked at the timid woman from the Federation before him.
If it weren't for her usefulness, he wouldn't have spared her a glance.
"When I capture Wu Zimo, you know what to do, right?"
"Yes, please rest assured, Prince Maijia."
Satisfied with her response, Prince Maijia said no more and turned to leave.
Only when his figure disappeared behind the closed door did Feng Yan'er raise her head and no longer display the meekness from before. Her crimson lips curled into a sly, triumphant smile.
"Wu Zimo, Scott Alman, and the Maca family, ha!"
........
Prince Maijia was eagerly heading to his room and had failed to notice the figure hidden around the corner.
After he passed, the figure emerged.
It was none other than the Sixth Prince of the Mola Empire, Prince Bardwell, who had caught Scott's attention.
Prince Bardwell glanced at Prince Maijia's retreating figure, then turned his gaze toward the room guarded by two sentinels. His narrow eyes were filled with deep contemplation.
...........
With time running short, other civilizations had also received news of the Mother Zerg's sudden acceleration. There was no time to dawdle, and everyone followed the tasks assigned by Scott.
The tasks Scott assigned were not difficult for the teams.
The commanders of those teams, upon seeing the content of Scott's assignments, were not only amazed by the command abilities of Scott Alman, the Federation Marshal, but also felt a hint of wariness.
The tasks were tailored to their respective strengths, which showed just how terrifying Scott Alman was—he had such a clear understanding of their nations' capabilities.
However, this time, those people were mistaken.
While Scott was indeed capable, the Federation's investigative abilities weren't that formidable.
The information about those nations was provided by Utaima, a member of the Gader Advanced Civilization.
Aside from the Federation, which had Wu Zimo as an unexpected wildcard, the Gader Civilization had a thorough grasp of the situations within other civilizations. Therefore, the wariness should be directed toward the Gader Advanced Civilization instead.
Yet, a certain individual, who seemed a bit sweet in Wu Zimo's eyes, appeared oblivious to how astonishing the information he provided truly was.
Everyone was busy, yet Wu Zimo found himself completely idle.
The battle was about to commence, and Wu Zimo chose not to disturb the occupied Scott, and just quietly stayed in his room. Suddenly, his Light Brain communication device rang.
He looked down and his puzzled expression turned into an eye roll.
However, Wu Zimo still opened the Light Brain, and sure enough, the image of a certain beauty popped up immediately. "Hello, Wu Zimo!"
"Hello, Utaima."
Indeed, amidst everyone's busyness, the only one who could still bother Wu Zimo was this person. "Aren't you busy? How do you have time to contact me?"
Utaima was completely unaware that Wu Zimo was teasing as he replied very seriously, "Everything is ready. We're just waiting for Marshal Alman's order to set off."
The efficiency of the Gader Advanced Civilization was indeed swift.
Honestly, Wu Zimo was quite impressed. No wonder they were so formidable because they had the capability to be so.
"Uh, am I disturbing you?" It was rare for Utaima to consider this, and he asked somewhat sheepishly.
"No, it's Scott who's busy," Wu Zimo shook his head.
"Phew, that's good." Utaima sighed in relief, then asked with a bit of excitement, "Will you be joining the upcoming ambush battle, Wu Zimo?"
Through several conversations, Wu Zimo discovered that this sweet-natured beauty was actually a battle enthusiast.
At first, he was a bit stunned, but now he was used to it. As for the question, Wu Zimo didn't need to think before answering.
"Of course, I will. I'm Scott's Guide!"
Wu Zimo knew how dangerous and crucial the upcoming battle was.
Their opponent was the top-tier boss threatening the entire universe.
Scott was strong, so strong that Wu Zimo sometimes felt he was almost inhuman, but Scott was still a Sentinel.
The Sentinel fights at the front, but behind him, there is always a figure following, and that figure is the Guide.
Although Utaima was a bit clueless about other things, seeing the look in Wu Zimo's eyes, he vaguely understood his thoughts and couldn't help but smile. "Then we'll meet on the battlefield!"
Well, for a battle enthusiast with such a sweet personality, it was no wonder he was so passionate.
"Alright."
Seeing Wu Zimo nod, Utaima cheerfully ended the communication.
Wu Zimo looked at the darkened Light Brain and suddenly felt a headache. "So, he contacted me just to ask if I would join the battle?"
Silently putting away the Light Brain, he realized that as an old-timer, he still couldn't quite understand these advanced civilization folks.
But before Wu Zimo could continue to ponder, he heard the herald conveying Scott's latest order.
【Attention all, all personnel enter wartime status. The entire fleet will depart in ten minutes】
"Ten minutes?" Wu Zimo looked around to see that there was nothing to pack, and quickly headed towards the bridge of the Alman Battleship.
Ten minutes was enough for Wu Zimo to briskly walk to the bridge.
As he entered, he saw Scott already standing at the main control position.
He didn't speak and just nodded at Scott, then quietly stood by his side with his gaze fixed on the large screen ahead.
At this moment, not only was the Federation's fleet ready, but so were the fleets of other interstellar civilizations.
Wu Zimo could feel the tension and solemn atmosphere in this stretch of the starry sky.
Scott's ambush plan was tailored to the capabilities of all civilizations involved, was not overly complex—it couldn't be. Since this was their first collaboration, highly coordinated battle strategies were simply unfeasible for this group.
Therefore, Scott divided all interstellar civilization teams into several groups: support, main assault, auxiliary, and so on.
The main assault team, unsurprisingly, included the Federation, and the strongest team, the Gader Advanced Civilization, was also part of it.
Wu Zimo noticed that the main assault team included the interstellar civilization whose warship he had previously found strange—the one that resembled a cloud.
This civilization was also in the main assault team.
The last surprise for Wu Zimo was that the Mola Empire's team was also in the main assault group.
This was Scott's decision, and Wu Zimo had no objections, though he kept a closer eye on the Mola Empire's team.
Scott chose an asteroid belt as the location for the ambush on the Mother Zerg.
There were many such asteroid belts in the Abyssal Starfield.
This one was selected not only because it lay on the Mother Zerg's path but also due to its instability.
This asteroid belt was not only vast, but the asteroids within it that were influenced by cosmic magnetic fields, moved unpredictably. Additionally, there were several planets at its edge thst were suitable for hiding the combined fleet's warships.
All departing teams entered Subspace navigation.
The Federation's warships that were equipped with Wu Zimo's new system, were among the fastest.
All warships quickly reached the coordinates, and one by one, they broke through the Subspace barrier and appeared in front of a vast asteroid belt.
The Gader Advanced Civilization's warship was the first to arrive.
As soon as it exited Subspace and returned to cosmic space, the program responsible for monitoring the Zerg on the Gader warship immediately issued a warning.
[High-level Zerg energy fluctuations detected 1,000 light-years ahead.]
Upon arrival, the other teams received the Gader Advanced Civilization's alert.
"Has Mother Zerg's speed increased again?"
Hearing that Zerg energy fluctuations were detected 1,000 light-years away, which was faster than Scott had anticipated, Wu Zimo couldn't help but marvel at the Gader Advanced Civilization's technological prowess. They could detect the Zerg from such a great distance.
Wu Zimo also understood that, even with his "golden finger", it would be difficult to close this technological gap in a short time.
The Gader Advanced Civilization had been developing for thousands of times longer than the Federation.
"All teams proceed according to the plan."
Although the Mother Zerg's speed had increased, Scott and the others weren't late.
Upon hearing the command, everyone quickly sprang into action.
Despite their sluggishness in the meeting room, they were remarkably efficient when it came to action.
"Scott, what about us?" Wu Zimo saw on the screen that, apart from the main assault team, all other teams had already departed.
Before Scott could answer, Utaima's image appeared on the bridge's main screen. "Marshal Alman, the Invisibility Cloaking Device will activate in three minutes."
"Understood. Form the main assault team into attack formation."
"Yes."
After Utaima's communication ended, Wu Zimo turned to Scott and asked, "The Invisibility Cloaking Device?"
Scott didn’t beat around the bush and answered directly, “A product of the Gader Advanced Civilization, a device that not only shields against electronic detection but also renders itself invisible to the naked eye.”
Damn! That’s so cool!
Shielding against electronic devices isn’t surprising—Wu Zimo had seen stealth aircraft that could evade radar detection in his previous life. But now, even the naked eye couldn’t detect them. They were truly invisible.
Three minutes later, Wu Zimo finally got to witness this incredibly sharp device.
Seeing the changes before his eyes, he realized that not only could others not see them, but they also couldn’t see their companions beside them!
Wu Zimo wasn’t sure whether to marvel at the device’s brilliance or complain about it. However, what happened next made him feel that he should probably praise it, because the Invisibility Cloaking Device was indeed very useful.
Especially when dealing with the Zerg.
