A colossal creature slowly emerged from the darkness of space.

If you don't look closely, you might think it's just a strangely shaped planet.

Zhao Chen stared at the image. If the T3 Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship hadn't been so far away, the camera lens probably wouldn't have been able to capture this terrifying behemoth.

Although neither the Galactic Alliance nor the Star Empire records the existence of the T5 Zerg Hive Mothership.

Before this, the highest level that had ever appeared was a Level 4 cosmic wormhole and a T4 worm nest mothership.

However, upon seeing such a massive size and ferocious face, and feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from within, Zhao Chen's first thought was of the T5 Zerg Hive Mothership.

Only this identity is worthy of the behemoth before them.

Its enormous body has a front half that resembles a giant whale or crocodile, and a rear half that resembles a squid.

Its massive body has many 'cavities' that can be seen living in a large number of Zerg units, making it a mobile Zerg world!

Furthermore, many Zerg motherships, mostly T1 and T2 level, are attached to its back and abdomen.

At its top, there is a bright green nozzle, which should be its main weapon, the bio-plasma cannon!

That powerful attack just now must have been launched by it.

"Commander, since there has never been a T5 Zerg Hive Mothership in the history of the Galactic Alliance, there is no intelligence record of it."

"It doesn't even have a name." Lilith said with some concern.

"Wait... have the reconnaissance ship zoom in on these areas." Zhao Chen keenly noticed some details and pointed to some scenes in the video.

Lilith conveyed the commander's message.

Soon, detailed images of the area Zhao Chen requested were released.

Zhao Chen saw large areas of damage and broken sections; the feeling... the feeling... was like seeing ruins.

"No! This can't be called a T5 Zerg mothership. I checked its bio-wave intensity. Although it exceeds that of a T4 Leviathan-class Zerg mothership, if it were T5, it shouldn't only have this value!"

Zhao Chen raised questions.

Although he had never seen a T5 Zerg mothership, he had a T5 interstellar warship in his possession. Based on performance comparisons, the T5 Zerg mothership in front of him was far from reaching the level of T5 biotechnology.

“But how do you explain such a huge shape?” Lilith asked.

Fortunately, he found the answer in the areas that Zhao Chen discovered.

"This Zerg mothership should have been dead before it was taken under control; the time of death is unknown."

However, due to its death, many of its biological properties were greatly reduced.

These clues can be found on the T1 and T2 Zerg motherships we captured.

Some were implanted with'steel spiders' during their lifetime, while others were implanted after death, resulting in a significant difference in their bioenergy.

Qin Xiaotian has the ability to develop such control methods, and he might even be able to create cosmic wormholes, but I don't believe he can really control a living T5 worm mothership, if that were the case.

He didn't need to endure until now at all.

"So, what we're seeing in front of us is just a near-T5 Zerg Hive Mothership!" Zhao Chen made his judgment.

Lilith nodded in understanding, and then more research data was presented to them.

“According to our observation data, this T5... quasi-T5 Zerg hive mothership emits a magnetic field, which interferes with long-range quantum communication, but short-range communication can still be carried out,” Lilith said.

This explains why the Blue Crystal Galaxy's communications were 'blocked'.

It's not that Qin Xiaotian has any black technology; it's entirely due to the inherent capabilities of this near-T5 Zerg hive mothership.

"It seems that this is a great gift that Qin Xiaotian has prepared for us."

First, lure us in with the Blue Crystal Starport, then use a large number of Zerg Hive Motherships to wear us down until the time is almost up. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Then we'll use this final, devastating weapon to wipe us out in one fell swoop," Zhao Chen analyzed.

Lilith, recalling what had just happened, let out a long sigh and said, "Thank goodness it wasn't a T5 Zerg mothership. If it had been, our interstellar missile ship might have already been hit, and the losses would have been..."

Lilith could hardly imagine that the ensuing chain reaction would inevitably plunge the Dragon Legion into a desperate situation.

"We also need to thank the captain of the Paladin 022. If it weren't for his actions, we would have lost at least a third of our interstellar missile ships," Zhao Chen added.

Lilith nodded.

"Pass down the order to prepare to attack this near-T5 Zerg mothership. If it is not destroyed, allow it to attack from a distance."

"No matter how many paladins we have, we can't defend against them all!" Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.

Based on the data observed earlier, the range of the biological super plasma cannon on this near-T5 insect hive mothership is extremely long, exceeding the range of their interstellar missile ships.

However, if this near-T5 insect hive mothership is not destroyed, it will be a sword hanging over the head of the First Legion of the JF-17 Thunder, slowly cutting away at the flesh and blood of the First Legion.

"Yes! Battle planning is underway. Arrange the assault fleet and provide interstellar missile fire support..." Lilith began instructing the staff to develop feasible action plans in the shortest possible time.

But to be honest, every plan comes at a great cost and incurs huge losses.

Zhao Chen frowned as he looked at the plans that had been drawn up.

Even the best-case scenario would still result in the loss of at least a thousand interstellar warships, representing a third of the total combat losses...

This might be the best option, but the question is whether Zhao Chen can withstand attacks from other Zerg fleets with the remaining starships?

This is another problem.

"Commander, Captain Huang Xiaoting of Blue-Eyes White Dragon 02 requests permission to execute this operation against the Leviathan Monarch-class insect hive mothership!" Lilith said.

The Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg Hive Mothership was the name and code name Zhao Chen gave to that quasi-T5 Zerg Hive Mothership.

These were several code names and nicknames that the Galactic Alliance had prepared for their intended targets, and Zhao Chen chose the most fitting one.

Zhao Chen clenched his fist.

A merciful general cannot command an army!

When necessary, sacrifices must be made.

"Pass on my order to execute this Operation Plan No. 3. Huang Xiaoting will be in charge of the attack plan, and we will provide remote assistance."

"At the same time, contact Blue Crystal Starport. We need to prepare for a forced breakout. Tell them to get ready!" Zhao Chen said seriously.

He hadn't originally planned a strong breakout, as that would have inevitably resulted in enormous losses. If it weren't for the Leviathan Sovereign-class insect hive mothership, he would have had a way to resolve the crisis with minimal casualties.

But now, the appearance of the Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg Hive Mothership has shattered this balance.

"Understood." Lilith prepared to carry out the order.

But the next moment, Zhao Chen suddenly called out, "Wait a minute!"

Lilith was stunned. She saw Zhao Chen staring at the images transmitted back by the Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship.

In the footage, the Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg mothership is under attack!

The intense firepower attack transformed from scattered sparks into massive bursts of explosions.

At the same time, a fleet of interstellar warships emerged from the darkness!

It's a T3 Phantom Assassin-class light interstellar stealth bomber, look at the hull number!

The Second Legion of the JF-17 Thunder.
