Chapter 567: Reply from the Sixth Defense Zone

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

Angron stepped down from the transport aircraft and discovered Yingzhou, who had also just stepped down from a transport aircraft not far away.

"Father! You've returned as well?"

Angron walked quickly to Yingzhou's side and said in surprise.

"Mm, since the Demons have already retreated, the destruction of the Beast Race is merely a matter of time. Clearing out those scattered Beast Race Buluo shouldn't be too much trouble."

Yingzhou felt a gust of wind blow across his face, looked at Angron before him, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Upon learning the news that the Demons had suddenly withdrawn, Yingzhou was also quite bewildered.

Everything was prepared on his end, and yet they told him they had retreated?

"By the way, I've arranged for your offspring to join the troops pushing into Zerg territory; the progress of the Zerg push needs to be put on the agenda as well."

Yingzhou smoothed out his somewhat messy hair and said to Angron, who was walking alongside him.

"Mm, I reckon they've been stifled enough; this suits their wishes perfectly."

Angron's mouth curled up slightly, and he shrugged helplessly.

"Do you intend to go home?"

After the two chatted for a while, Yingzhou asked Angron.

"Mm, I'll go to the Outer City first to see if there are any documents left to process these past few days. Father, are you not going home?"

"No, I'm going to find Horus to check the specific details of the Zerg push, and while I'm at it, ask Selina if the Sixth Defense Zone has replied to the message we sent them."

Once Angron heard it was a matter regarding the Sixth Defense Zone, he stopped chatting with Yingzhou, and the two parted ways there.

By the time Yingzhou arrived at Lu Zhenda's office, he saw Lu Zhenda processing documents at his desk. Upon seeing Yingzhou return, Lu Zhenda let out a heavy sigh and said to Yingzhou.

"You're back?"

"Mm, where is Horus?"

Seeing that Horus was not in the office, Yingzhou asked Lu Zhenda in confusion.

"Oh, he just went out a moment ago. Do you have something to find him for?"

Yingzhou sat down opposite Lu Zhenda and shook his head.

"No, I just wanted to understand if there have been any unusual movements from the Zerg side."

Lu Zhenda looked up at Yingzhou and raised an eyebrow.

"Unusual movements? Mm... no. Didn't you say the Zerg were at war with those... Cyberk people?"

Yingzhou picked up Lu Zhenda's water cup from the desk, saw that it was already empty, and set the cup back down.

"That is what the intelligence obtained from the Beast Race side says. However, the war situation changes in an instant, and the intelligence from the Beast Race side is not necessarily accurate. We still need to confirm the situation on the Zerg side."

"Mm, rest assured. Once any Legion on the front lines discovers abnormal activity from the Zerg, they will notify you immediately."

Just then, the communication device on Yingzhou's wrist lit up with a pale green glow. Seeing it was a communication from Selina, Yingzhou answered immediately.

Selina's pale blue projection appeared on the communication device on Yingzhou's wrist.

"The Sixth Defense Zone has replied to the message. Do you want me to send it to you now?"

Upon hearing this, Yingzhou's eyes lit up, and he said directly to Selina.

"No need. Send a copy to Lao Lu; I'm heading to the Inner City to find you directly."

After hanging up Selina's communication, Yingzhou said to Lu Zhenda in a somewhat excited tone.

"Lao Lu, once Selina sends over the message from the Sixth Defense Zone in a moment, let Horus take a look at it when he returns to see if there are any findings."

"Oh... oh... have you... already left?"

Lu Zhenda had just wanted to say a few words, but he saw Yingzhou excitedly leave the office, kicking up a gust of wind that blew several documents on Lu Zhenda's desk onto the floor.

Lu Zhenda had no choice but to leave his desk to pick up the fallen documents, saying with a bitter smile.

"Ah, that really did kick up a gust of wind."

Yingzhou bumped into Horus, who was rushing back, at the entrance of the Military District Headquarters. Upon seeing Yingzhou, Horus also said with a look of astonishment.

"Father! You..."

"Horus, a message will be sent to Lao Lu's place in a moment; take a look at it when you return."

Yingzhou said this while rushing outward, leaving Horus standing there in a daze.

Why is Father leaving in such a hurry?

By the time Horus returned to the office, he saw that Lu Zhenda had already picked up the fallen documents and was doing some stretching exercises.

"Mr. Lu, why did my father leave in such a hurry? I have never seen Father look so hurried before."

As soon as Horus entered the office, he asked Lu Zhenda, who was in the middle of stretching.

"It's about the message from the Sixth Defense Zone; it seems they have replied."

"Oh, no wonder Father left in such a hurry. Has the message been sent over?"

"It has. I was waiting for you to return so we could look at it together."

Ninth Defense Zone Inner City.

Selina was surrounded by six floating holographic screens that rotated slowly, with various data streams pulsing along the edges of each screen.

When Yingzhou arrived at the room where Selina was located again, he said in an excited tone.

"What message did they reply to us with?"

Selina did not answer Yingzhou's question; pale green data streams flashed through her eyes as she presented a message.

【Several of our Councilor members here wish to meet with the current person in power of the Ninth Defense Zone in the Sixth Defense Zone. Our situation here remains grim, but since the Fourth Defense Zone and the Ninth Defense Zone have already joined forces, we will naturally respond actively. However, before that, we need to know if the current person in power of the Ninth Defense Zone shares the same views as us.

If you agree to our request, we will dispatch a transport aircraft to the Ninth Defense Zone as soon as possible to welcome the person in power to visit the Sixth Defense Zone.】

Upon seeing this message, Yingzhou couldn't help but snort with laughter.

"Pfft, hahaha, are these guys this goal-oriented? Playing their cards face-up right away, are they?"

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Selina looked toward Yingzhou with her pale green pupils and spoke.

"So, what did you discover?"

"Naturally, it's the intelligence provided in this message from the Sixth Defense Zone; they would rather send a Transport Aircraft themselves to pick up the person in charge of the Ninth Defense Zone than expose the location of the Sixth Defense Zone, which proves that they definitely have a problem!"

Hearing Yingzhou's explanation, Selina nodded thoughtfully and said.

"Indeed, before a defense zone is confirmed to have fallen, the messages sent are confidential and cannot be used to track the location of that defense zone; only after a defense zone has fallen and the fallen defense zone sends a message again will the location of the fallen defense zone be exposed."

Speaking to this point, Selina raised her right hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of her nose, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

"Then how do you intend to reply to their message? They only sent one Transport Aircraft; it is impossible for you to take a large number of troops to the Sixth Defense Zone."

Yingzhou stretched his body, emitting a series of cracking sounds from his bones.

"How could that be? I'll just go by myself; I haven't moved my body in a long time. They think one Transport Aircraft can control the situation? Then I will grant their wish, and it will also allow them to lower their guard."
