Chapter 169: Captured, Surrender

Good! Then we'll gnaw down this biggest piece of meat!

Zhang Xianzhong said heroically.

Pass my order! New Chasing Sun, break away from the main fleet!

Target, enemy King Insect-class Mothership! Charge at it!

Yes!

New Chasing Sun, the flagship representing the pinnacle of Human Federal technology, at this moment like a lone brave hero, a single ship, broke away from the large force pursuing the enemy army, and charged straight toward that massive King Insect Mothership.

Behind it, only a dozen or so of the most elite cruisers followed, forming a small strike squadron.

This move surprised everyone.

Using a dozen or so warships to challenge a super mother ship over a hundred kilometers long?

To anyone, this looks like a near-suicidal act.

But Zhang Xianzhong's face was full of confidence.

Because he knew that beside him sat the strongest calming pill of human civilization.

Inside the King Insect Mothership.

Commander Ka La Fa also immediately discovered this tiny, pitiful human squadron charging toward him.

"These bugs... have they gone mad?"

Its mind was filled with absurdity and incomprehension.

"They think that with a dozen or so small ships they can challenge my King Insect Mothership?"

A feeling of humiliated anger instantly overwhelmed its fear.

Although its expeditionary army had already been defeated.

But the King Insect Mothership is its last pride, and one of the strongest war fortresses of the Mo Yun Empire.

It possesses firepower and defense far surpassing ordinary warships.

"Since you've come to die on your own, I'll grant you that!"

Ka La Fa roared angrily.

"All weapon systems! Lock onto that biggest bug warship! Blast it into cosmic dust!"

On the massive body of the King Insect Mothership, countless gun ports hidden beneath the carapace slowly opened.

The dense gun ports flickered with scarlet light, like an enraged giant beast baring all its fangs.

The next second.

Thousands of plasma beams, ten times thicker than before, and various strange biological missiles, like a volcanic eruption, poured down upon the New Chasing Sun.

Such world-destroying momentum could shatter any planet's defense system in an instant.

"Activate the Hive Shield! Maximum power!"

Inside the New Chasing Sun's bridge, Zhang Xianzhong calmly issued orders.

Hum—

A three-layer shield composed of countless hexagonal energy cells, thicker than before, instantly enveloped the entire hull.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense bombardment fiercely struck the "Hive" shield.

The shield violently flickered; the energy cells on its surface shattered upon impact, but in the next second were swiftly replaced by surrounding cells.

The entire New Chasing Sun was like a reef standing firm in a raging storm, unmoved no matter how the waves battered it.

"Shield energy consumption at thirty percent! Structure stable!"

"Enemy attack analysis complete! Mostly conventional energy weapons, no special-type weapons detected!"

The technical officer calmly reported the data.

"Good!" Zhang Xianzhong nodded, "Looks like this big guy is just scary-looking."

He turned his head to look at Qin Hao: "Xiao Qin, it's our turn."

Qin Hao smiled slightly and stood up.

He walked to the center of the bridge, his gaze calmly fixed on the massive King Insect Mothership on the screen.

"Everyone, let me borrow your warships for a moment."

After saying that, he extended both hands and lightly pressed them onto the holographic projection of the command console.

The next second, an immeasurably vast psychic power erupted, centered on Qin Hao.

This psychic power did not attack anyone.

Instead, it controlled the dozen or so Federal warships, including the New Chasing Sun, making them, at this moment, seem like extensions of Qin Hao's body.

"Rise!"

Qin Hao said softly.

Only seen, the dozen or so warships' engines emitted no light, yet in a way that violated physics, they instantaneously performed an unimaginable maneuver.

Amid the dense barrage, they darted like dancing butterflies, nimbly weaving through and dodging most of the attacks.

"What... what kind of operation is this?!"

Inside the King Insect Mothership, Ka La Fa was utterly dumbfounded.

It saw that those human warships, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand, performed all kinds of impossible flight maneuvers.

Right-angle turns, instantaneous hovering, spatial flickering...

Its weapons system could not lock onto these ghost-like warships at all.

"They... they're approaching! Quick! Intercept them!" Ka La Fa screamed in terror.

But it was already too late.

Under Qin Hao's control, more than ten Federal warships had already broken through the King Bug Mothership's firepower net and arrived right before it.

"Now, let you all see what true power is."

A glint of gold flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.

He poured his psychic power into all the weapon systems of the over-ten warships.

The next second.

The gun muzzles of the over-ten warships simultaneously blazed with an unprecedented, dazzling light.

What those laser cannons fired was no longer a pure energy beam.

but a kind of "regulatory" weapon whose physical form had been highly compressed and twisted by psychic power.

Boom!

Over-ten bolts of cannon fire imbued with Qin Hao's will precisely struck the King Bug Mothership's most vulnerable biological brain region at the center of its hull.

There was no violent explosion.

The King Bug Mothership's thick biological carapace, upon contacting these cannon fires, melted and vaporized silently, like ice meeting a branding iron.

A huge breach over ten kilometers in diameter appeared on its hull.

Through the breach, one could clearly see the enormous pink brain, writhing madly in extreme agony.

"Ahhh—!"

A mental shriek, not something a biological being could emit, piercing to the extreme, echoed in Ka La Fa's consciousness.

It felt as if its soul were being brutally pierced by ten thousand red-hot iron nails.

That excruciating pain, stemming from the very source of life, caused it to collapse instantly.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

It, without reservation, broadcast to the surrounding human warships its thought filled with humiliation and fear.

"Don't kill me! I'm willing to give up everything! My mothership! My knowledge! My soul! As long as you spare my life!"

That extraterrestrial creature, which once acted invincible and regarded humans as mere bugs, finally, in the face of absolute power, set aside all its ridiculous dignity, like a fawning dog, and issued a humble plea.

Its voice, transmitted over the public channel, spread across the entire battlefield.

All the Federal soldiers locked in fierce combat, and the fleeing Moyun Warships, heard this surrender declaration.

The entire battlefield, at this moment, fell into an eerie silence.
