Chapter 142 The warden is being pursued by a top-tier prisoner? (38)
The sudden attack by the Zerg was something no one expected, and the Federation was in a state of panic.
Parliament convened time and again, seeking a solution.
Doug has been extremely stressed these past few days, and it's only at times like this that he realizes the importance of the Marshal.
The thought that the original marshal had long since stepped down and was now just some lousy warden on a desolate planet filled him with a sense of helplessness.
The federal hotline has been ringing off the hook these past two days, with everyone asking what to do about the vacant marshal position.
Without a marshal to lead several legions, how can they unite as one to defeat the Zerg?
Doug smiled wryly. He knew perfectly well that, but now he just couldn't get through to this ancestor's terminal.
The other party did come to the Federation a few days ago, but at that time, he never expected that the battlefield, which had been calmed down, would be engulfed in flames again.
Doug is now filled with such regret that he feels like he could vomit blood. He wishes he could travel back in time and slap his smug self to death.
The communications officer reported again: "Speaker, General Xie's terminal has no signal and cannot be connected."
Doug cursed under his breath, "Useless! Give me the communicator!"
He dialed the number himself, and after three rings, he expected to hear a busy signal, but to his surprise, the call was connected.
The interstellar-era communicator also had audio-visual capabilities. Realizing that the other party might have made a connection, Doug's old face broke into a wide smile.
"General Xie, are you busy right now?"
Having just stepped off the mecha, Xie Liuyan appeared calm, showing no signs of fatigue.
"That's alright. What brings you here, Speaker?"
Doug coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment: "General, now that the Zerg are invading and the position of Marshal has been vacant for a while, could you temporarily fill in?"
That's a shameless question. When Xie Liuyan left, Doug practically set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Now they've shamelessly asked Xie Liuyan to come back as marshal, and even that he's only acting!
If Lin Fang were standing next to his own marshal, he would definitely curse in his heart, thinking that Doug had no shame at all.
Xie Liuyan could easily see through the other party's scheme. He chuckled, causing Doug to blush.
“Speaker, there’s no need to worry. I’ve already made arrangements.”
"The First Legion is more than capable of quelling this Zerg attack, and the citizens of the Federation can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Doug hurriedly replied:
"That's good, that's good. If you need anything, General, you can tell the council, and the council will definitely take care of your concerns."
Xie Liuyan frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something:
"There is one thing."
Seeing him frown, Doug panicked and quickly said, "General, please speak freely."
"The Zerg intend to start their invasion from the barren planet. Although the barren planet is not a valuable planet, its geographical location is very important to the Federation."
"This time, I plan to have the prisoners in Alpha Prison who can pilot mechs also fight against the Zerg, as a way to atone for their crimes. Meanwhile, the other prisoners will be transferred to the First Legion's headquarters for imprisonment. Does the Speaker have any objections?"
Doug had no objections and nodded after a moment's thought.
"These matters can be handled by the higher-ups themselves, and the results will be reported to the parliament later."
"Okay, I understand." Xie Liuyan said indifferently and hung up the call casually.
The battle on the desolate planet was actually very intense, and Xie Liuyan himself had to fight for a long time before he had a moment to spare.
He casually dialed Lin Fang's number, and the call was answered quickly.
"Marshal, what are your orders?"
Where is the First Legion now?
"The First Legion is already on its way and should arrive on the desolate planet in about two days."
"Okay, try to speed it up as much as possible."
After the terminal projection was turned off, Xie Liuyan rubbed his temples.
0526 flew around the Supreme God:
"My Lord God, would you like to rest for a while?"
Xie Liuyan walked to the mecha room without stopping, then shook his head upon hearing this:
"No need, I'll go repair the mech. Shen Wangchuan and the others are still on the Wasteland Plain. Hold on for two more days and the First Legion's reinforcements will arrive."
"Yes, Lord God."

On the desolate star plains
Wave after wave of Zerg appeared in front of Shen Wangchuan and his group. Wei Xingtong, who was following behind Shen Wangchuan, exclaimed "Holy crap!" As space pirates, they had always faced pursuit from the Federation.
I never expected to have the chance to fight the Zerg.
"Boss, you have to admit the warden is really strong. These bugs have been here for several days. The reason we hadn't heard anything about them before was because they were all wiped out."
"It's unbelievable that the Warden alone could stop these Zerg from advancing any further. He's absolutely amazing!!"
Shen Wangchuan smiled proudly upon hearing Wei Xingtong's private voice message:
"He is indeed very capable."
Shen Wangchuan never hesitates to praise those he likes.
However, at the same time, Shen Wangchuan did not neglect the attack on the Zerg. He quickly manipulated the mech to dodge, and then fired a laser cannon. The Zerg that had just tried to sneak up from behind was instantly turned into nutrients for the plain.
Simultaneously, he manipulated the mech's basic laser sword to slash at the forelegs of another insect.
Shen Wangchuan's tone changed:
"Don't get distracted, or you might not even know how you died!"
Wei Xingtong sighed, marveling at how these insects were practically sentient, even knowing how to use feints and diversions. She cursed under her breath before replying to Shen Wangchuan:
"Got it, boss!"
The number of Zerg is slowly increasing, but fortunately they are a mech squad and can take turns resting.
After half a day, the defenses of the desolate planet were held up fairly well.
The Zerg that needed to be eliminated have been mostly wiped out, and the plains are now silent; at least no more Zerg have appeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the laser cannons equipped on the mechs were the nemesis of the Zerg, they were simply no match for the sheer number of Zerg.
They also need time to reload the gunpowder, otherwise if more Zerg come in the afternoon, they will be at the mercy of the Zerg.
While everyone was resting, a silver mech walked over from not far away.
It's obvious that this is the warden's mech.
Despite being extremely exhausted, everyone's spirits were lifted.
Before this, when they first arrived at the battlefield, they had witnessed the enemy wreaking havoc on the desolate star plains.
The mechs' power was unleashed to the fullest extent; the silver mechs were like reapers of death, leaving either dead or wounded wherever they went.
The mecha's movements are filled with a violent beauty that is captivating.
Only then did they truly realize that the strength the other party had displayed in prison was merely the tip of the iceberg, and that they had even been willing to be humble.
When Xie Liuyan piloted the mecha over, Shen Wangchuan could barely suppress the smile on his face.
After clicking the connection button on the mech, the other person's face appeared in the cockpit.
Xie Liuyan had just clicked "agree" when the other party's smiling face came into view, along with Shen Wangchuan's slightly excited words:
"Ayan, you've arrived. The Zerg here have calmed down considerably; we can hold out for a while longer."
Xie Liuyan looked into the man's sparkling eyes, his gaze softening for a moment, his tone calm yet containing a hint of approval:
"Yes, you did a great job. Leave the rest to me. Go back and repair the mechs before coming back."
Upon hearing the other party's approval, Shen Wangchuan's smile widened considerably.
"Okay, Ayan, wait for us to come over."
Then Shen Wangchuan tapped a line of text in the team chat:
"Everyone, head back to the prison to repair the mechs. We'll rest briefly before setting off!"
Seeing their boss, who seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the impact of the warden's appearance on him.
"Yes, boss!"
