Chapter 699, Exploding Star

A month later, Reyaduches had cooled.

The surface temperature is still very high, so people cannot go down, or at least they need to wear full heat and radiation resistance equipment.

But when Gu Hang's spiritual power explores further, it will not be disturbed too much.

He hasn't left yet, and the main human fleet hasn't left either.

In fact, many people have wanted to leave for a long time.

Reyaduchess has been burned into a fireball, the Queen is dead, the hive fleet has lost control, the shadow of the warp has dissipated... Why are you still staying here?

Leave a part of the army behind to go to the many worlds still controlled by the Zerg in the Queen Star Region and clean them up one by one. If there are only Zergs and few living people, and the Zerg are in a large scale, throw an Extermination Order to burn them all; if the Zerg are not in a large scale, the resources of the entire planet are relatively abundant, the Zerg are not eaten too badly, or the location is very important, then go down and fight, anyway, the Zerg Queen is dead, and the Zerg will be incapacitated for a long time, so it won't be difficult to fight.

Other large troops should return to the court in triumph.

The specific method of returning to the court depends on how Holy Terra arranges it.

If the masters on Terra want, then the army will go to the Solar Region first and hold a victory parade in front of a group of nobles. Then the officers and generals will get the merits and promotions they deserve, and the soldiers will also be rewarded. After that, each unit can go back to their own home.

If Holy Terra doesn't want to hold a grand ceremony, then everyone can just go back to their own homes, but the reward should not be less.

After all, everyone fought hard and fought a great war for the empire.

Those in the Star Army and Navy systems should be promoted, right?

The support troops coming from various universes and star fields, the senders and leaders of the troops also have their own demands, shouldn't they clear the way for them?

Each war group should also expand its influence around its original home planet, right? Shouldn't they be given more resources?

It's all as it should be.

Now that the war is over and we've won, everyone is eager to go back and cash in on the fruits of the war. Why did Commander-in-Chief Gu force everyone to stay in Riaduches for a month?

Oh, and also deal with the Zerg reinforcements sailing through the 'Void Black Hole'.

It is said that it was a huge army.

When the shadow of the subspace was still looming, only Gu Hang could use his powerful psychic power to see that this army was coming, and everyone was skeptical about it. Only you can see it, and no one else can see it, so isn't it you who has the final say?

But now, with the Queen of Zerg dead, the shadow of the subspace covering the galaxy has dissipated, and ordinary psykers can use some equipment to observe the Zerg army in action.

But at the same time, because the Queen of Insects is dead, this swarm of insects has become silent.

From this perspective, there was no other Queen among the reinforcements. It was just that the Tentacles transferred a unit to the Queen of Reyaduches. If one of them died, the reinforcements would also be disabled.

The disabled Zerg army is easy to fight, they have fought them all before.

Just send out a troop and take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them out.

But Commander-in-Chief Gu did not take any action in this regard and just stayed near Reyaduches.

I don't know what I'm waiting for.

Gradually, some complaints began to arise in the army.

However, all these complaints were buried in his heart. At most, he would vent a few words of complaint when communicating with his comrades and friends. They were only directed at this matter, and he never dared to say anything bad about Commander-in-Chief Gu himself.

This was true for the alliance's own troops, and it was also true for other troops.

The reason is simple. After a great war fought by the coalition, Commander-in-Chief Gu's reputation has become extremely great.

Soldiers will respect and love the man who leads them to victory;
The generals would be grateful to Gu Hang for his support on the northern and western fronts;

In terms of power, everyone must admit that the Alliance’s army is the biggest contributor to this war, whether it is the navy or the army.

In terms of personal strength, Gu Hang's psychic power, which can be exerted even in the shadow of the subspace, is the force that determines victory.

He has established a great prestige and no one dares to disrespect him.

They are more inclined to believe that Commander-in-Chief Gu has some other plans.

……

Gu Hang did have one. After the one-month period was up, he used his psychic energy to continuously explore the surface of Rheaduches.

He just suspected that the queen insect was not completely dead yet.

The Burning Sky Torpedo can destroy most life forms on the surface, but what about those deep underground?

Generally, they can be burned to death. After all, the high temperature of several thousand degrees on the surface lasted for a month, and a lot of people can be burned down there.

But if it is deep enough, the insulation is good enough, and the resource reserves are sufficient, then it can survive.

Not to mention the Queen of Insects, even humans have been recorded to have survived in some mountain fortifications deep in the mountains after the explosion of the Burning Sky torpedo.

As for the manifestations of the Queen's death, whether it was the inactivation of the Hive Fleet or the dissipation of the Warp Shadow, it was all intentional by the cunning Queen to eliminate the influence. Her goal was to let herself relax her vigilance.

The queen insect that has gone into hiding will have to remain dormant patiently for a long time.

But he survived after all.

Better than death.

Moreover, when it comes to hibernation, the Queen of Insects, Readuches, is different from all other Queens of Insects. She has sufficient experience.

When she was first captured, she was not strong and was just a young one. It took her decades of control and research under the Iron Armor Legion and the Alfonzo Sect before she gradually turned the tables.

Now, it's just one more time.

Of course, this is just Gu Hang’s guess so far.

The fundamental way to resolve this worry is to use the higher-level extinction weapon, the 'Earth-blasting Star Destroyer'.

He kept hesitating whether to use it.

The reason why it was not used directly earlier was that the Alliance had only produced one of this thing so far, and it was made from a finished black box after the technology was exhausted. The next one would not be produced until a long time later. Its production line was even further away, and the Alliance had not yet fully mastered the relevant technology.

Before the Burning Sky torpedo detonates, use the Earth-blasting Star Destroyer. If it is intercepted, it will be a huge loss.

Now I don't have to worry about being intercepted, but the price of this shot is also very high. If I can make sure that the queen is dead, I can save...

"Save the fucking money!"

Gu Hang cursed with a dark face.

After using his psychic power to carefully examine Readuches and finding nothing, Gu Hang, who should have felt more at ease, was unable to truly relax.

What if it’s because the queen bee is hiding particularly well?

Why leave yourself such trouble?
He figured it out.

I don't care whether you are dead or not, Rheaduches, I am determined to explode.

It's nothing more than a waste of an Earth-blasting Star Destroyer.

If you keep it, you may not be able to use it in the future or where to use it.

It’s better to use it now.

Change it to feel at ease.

After thinking it through, he gave the order.

All ships began to move away from Rheaduches.

Then, a huge missile was launched from the Jinguan.

Gu Hang's spiritual power monitored the landing of the missile the entire time.

As it approached the surface, a desperate psychic force suddenly rose from the ground and attacked the missile.

Gu Hang was not surprised but happy.

I guessed it right!
He, who had been paying close attention the entire time, immediately suppressed this psychic energy, which was roughly equivalent to that of a protozoan, and protected the warhead as it landed.
