Although the attack had stopped, Yinglong's bridge was still very busy, especially the staff officer's side.
Several staff officers were constantly adjusting the attack plan according to the latest situation, trying to maximize the results of the battle.
"Radar team, did you find any traces of the King Zerg?"
"No, Commander!"
Li Cangqiong was a little disappointed. These insects were really cautious. None of the King Insects had come out at this time!
"Commander, we have reached the ideal attack state. We can start now!"
On the staff officers' side, the chief of staff looked at the attack model in front of him and his eyes lit up. He turned around and reported to Li Cangqiong.
"Okay, then let's start. Transfer the attack plan to the tactical team!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The entire command team was operating like a precision instrument.
"The Zero-point missiles have all been unlocked …"
"The attack plan has been entered … The Zero-point missiles are ready for launch!"
"The launch authority has been transferred to the commander … The transfer process has been completed!"
Suddenly, the entire bridge fell silent. A virtual red button appeared in front of Li Cangqiong. Li Cangqiong had already raised his right hand and was about to press it.
"Commander, traces of the King Zerg have been found. 1, 2, 3 … 8, 9! A total of 9 King Zerg. One of them is marked as target number 2! "
The sudden report made Li Cangqiong's eyes twitch violently. His hand suddenly trembled, and he quickly braked. He was only one centimeter away from the launch button!
Luckily … he did not press it.
Looking at his right hand that was still a little away from the launch button, Li Cangqiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost missed the opportunity to harvest a large number of King Zerg.
In the attack plan of the staff officers, the area close to the hive's entrance was not within the attack range.
After all, in order to maximize the results of the battle, the staff officers had chosen areas where a large number of Zerg swarms had gathered.
If he had pressed the button just now, he would have missed the perfect opportunity to kill the nine King Zerg!
"Staff officers, immediately replan the attack plan. We must ensure that the nine King Zerg are killed in one go!"
"Yes, Commander!"
However, just as Li Cangqiong issued the latest order, in the bridge, there was another person frowning as he looked at the waterfall-like data flow in front of him.
While everyone was busy with the new attack plan, Li Lizi noticed something different.
Nine Zerg Kings … There were three Rank 5 Zerg Kings, two Rank 4 Zerg Kings, and two Rank 3 Zerg Kings. There was no detailed information on the remaining two Zerg Kings in the database. After all, even with the information from the Three-eye Empire, the Federation only had information on Rank 3 to Rank 5 Zerg Kings.
Most importantly, one of the two King Beetles had a much stronger bio-energy than a Type 3 King Beetle, while the other, which was the second target that Li Cangqiong had identified, was much stronger!
That was where the problem lay.
Logically speaking, the two Zerg Kings should be Rank Two and Rank One Zerg Kings.
However, if the second target was a Class 1 Insect King, then what was the first target?
Could it be …
"Commander, I have some important information to report!"
Thinking of this, Li Lizi no longer hesitated and turned to Li Cangqiong.
"Hmm?"
"Speak!"
At this point in time, what Li Lizi wanted to say could not be simple. Li Cangqiong, who knew his daughter very well, naturally knew what she was up to.
From the looks of it, he must have discovered something incredible!
"It's like this. The nine King Beetles that appeared just now, based on …"
As Li Lizi spoke, Li Cangqiong listened. However, as time passed, Li Cangqiong's expression slowly became serious.
If Li Lizi's deductions were correct, then should he wait a little longer?
Should he wait for the first target to appear?
"Commander, the new attack plan has been completed. Should we execute it?"
...
"Commander?"
Seeing that Li Cangqiong was deep in thought and did not respond, the Chief of Staff asked again.
"Execute it immediately!"
Li Cangqiong stopped thinking and said directly.
Although Li Cangqiong did not know much about Class 1 and Class 2 King Beetles and Queen Beetles, he knew that all King Beetles had the ability to open the tunnel to the hive!
At this point in time, there were already nine King Beetles here. If he hesitated, it was very likely that he would miss the perfect opportunity to strike before the target that he suspected to be the Queen Beetle. That would not be worth it!
"Yes, Commander!"
After the order was officially issued, all the members of the command team in the bridge once again got busy.
A minute later, the familiar red virtual launch button appeared in front of Li Cangqiong again.
This time, no one interrupted him. His right hand pressed down smoothly!
-----
At the same time, on the side of the tunnel to the hive.
"It's more comfortable outside. The tunnel to the hive is too oppressive!"
Garcia, who had flown out of the tunnel to the hive, could not help but think to himself after experiencing the familiar space environment.
Although the tunnel to the hive was a good thing, Garcia still felt uncomfortable staying in it!
"Oh, the humans are still retreating. Eva, later on, open the tunnel to the hive with me and directly cut off the humans' retreat route!"
He did not call for the other King Beetles, only Eva, who was not far away. After all, Class 3 to Class 5 King Beetles could not open the tunnel to the hive on their own. They would need to rely on a large amount of resources.
However, on this battlefield, there was no time for them to prepare resources.
"Yes, Grand Duke!"
Just as the two King Beetles were about to mobilize the energy in their bodies to open the tunnel to the hive, a blinding white light shone from afar.
"This is … not good!"
Eva and the other King Beetles might not know what this white light represented, but Garcia, who had experienced the first Sacred War of the Bug Tribe, obviously knew what it was!
The memories that had been sealed away were once again awakened. Garcia immediately turned and fled in the direction of the hive where there were no Bug Tribe members. He knew better than anyone else what would happen if this attack landed there …
Not far away, Eva and the other King Beetles were dumbfounded when they saw Garcia turn and flee. What was going on?
However, the same wave of attacks did not give him that much time.
Just as Garcia turned and flew for a short distance, a small hyperspace window suddenly opened in front of him!
Immediately afterward, a large missile flew out of it and detonated directly after leaving hyperspace!
"No!"
He only had time to leave an extremely unwilling 'no' in the spiritual network before his enormous body was completely engulfed by the white ball of light.
Of course, the other eight King Beetles were also swallowed.
"Commander, all zero-point missiles have been successfully detonated at the predetermined coordinates. Mission completion rate: 100%!"
"Very good. Inform all armies to activate the hyperspace engine. Target: the Vita Defense Line garrison base camp!"
"Yes, Commander!"
