124: Chapter 124 New Coordinates of a Life-Bearing Planet
50 kunpeng no. 2 spaceships, 100 Baihu No. 2 spaceships, and 50 Yingshu No. 2 spaceships—a total of 200 e-class spaceships—charged forward, plunging headlong into Proxima Centauri b.
Following the map's prompts, these 200 spaceships spread out and began a saturation attack according to pre-arranged positions!
100 predator mechas, 100 explorer mechas, and 100 guardian mechas—a total of 300 E-class mechas—followed closely behind. However, they did not land; instead, they targeted the fleet sent by the Lizardman Civilization!
Indeed, the Lizardmen had already reacted, sending a massive amount of spaceships, aircraft, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft laser weapons to greet the spaceships and mechas.
Unfortunately, the weapons of this Level 1 Civilization were too weak; hitting the spaceships and mechas was like scratching an itch.
Lixilari, the rotating monarch of the Xikemo United Kingdom, was currently in the palace, tensely watching a live broadcast of the battle at the front lines.
As the first female monarch in the history of the Lizard Kingdom, Lixilari was quite ambitious, always wanting to unify the Lizard race and establish a unified empire.
For the past ten years, the King of the Xike Kingdom had concurrently served as the rotating monarch of the Xikemo United Kingdom.
"My God, an alien invasion! Why didn't the relevant departments issue an alert!" Lixilari roared.
The ministers below all lowered their heads, their faces heavy with solemnity.
"Reporting!"
"The King of the Xike Kingdom and the King of the Ximo Kingdom have arrived!"
In the palace council chamber, two Lizardmen with fat heads and large ears walked in anxiously.
"Lixilari, what is going on! Look at you, serving as the rotating monarch and attracting aliens here!" The King of the Xike Kingdom immediately pinned the blame on her, as if Lixilari's actions had caused the alien attack.
"Colaine, if you keep talking like that, believe it or not, I'll kick your balls into oblivion!" Lixilari's face was dark.
"Heh, even if you didn't attract them, the aliens have reached our doorstep and you only just noticed. Isn't this a failure of your administration?" Colaine narrowed his eyes at Lixilari.
Lixilari's expression was grim; she hadn't expected that even with a great enemy before them, some people were still thinking about internal power struggles.
"Stop arguing, the fire is already under our asses! Our warships and cannons can't even break through those alien ships and mechas!" Mode Ganqing, the King of the Ximo Kingdom, shouted loudly.
"The situation is critical right now, I don't have time for internal strife with you. Colaine, we'll settle the score after the war!" Lixilari said coldly.
"Now, let me explain the situation."
"This group of aliens suddenly appeared in the outer space of our planet. It is a massive spaceship, large enough to rival one of our cities."
"Subsequently, this spaceship quickly dispatched 200 cosmic ships and 300 mechas. They have no intention of communicating with us and are directly attacking our planet!"
Lixilari's expression was serious and angry, the scales on her neck trembling slightly.
"Can we defeat them?" Colaine, the King of the Xike Kingdom, looked at the giant ship on the large screen, his face turning pale.
"Dean Xiwang of the Academy of Sciences has evaluated it. This giant spaceship completely surpasses our level of technology."
"Not only that, even those 200 slightly smaller spaceships are beyond our technological reach!" Despair leaked into Lixilari's voice.
"Then... then..." Colaine opened his mouth, now so terrified he didn't know what to say.
"Maybe... we should surrender!" Mode Ganqing forced out a sentence. As soon as these words were spoken, the entire council chamber fell silent.
"Surrender! Would they even accept it?" Colaine smiled bitterly.
"These aliens won't even communicate, they just started fighting. Look at what our surface has been bombed into!"
At this moment, under the bombardment of the 200 e-class spaceships, not a single place on the surface of Proxima Centauri b remained intact!
"What do we do? What can we do!"
"Is our Lizard race going to go extinct this time?" Lixilari's eyes were full of despair.
She saw the mechas in the sky move, their targets pointed directly at the entrances of the underground cities!
"Reporting!"
"Your Majesty! We can't stop them! We can't stop them at all!"
"Our entire spaceship fleet has been wiped out! All ground anti-aircraft weapons have been wiped out!"
"Great Monarch! What do we do next!"
The messenger knelt on the ground in a mess, snot and tears streaming down his face, which was filled with despair.
"We'll fight them to the death!" An official with a very stiff backbone shouted in fury.
"Fight? Fight with what?" Another official smiled bitterly.
"Do you think this is a war within our own race? When our three kingdoms clash, though it is cruel, there is always a shred of sentiment left; we wouldn't truly destroy each other's entire race or nation."
"This is an invasion by an alien species!"
"In their eyes, what difference is there between us and swine in a cage?!"
"I suggest we try to surrender first!" the official said, his face full of grief and indignation.
"Department of Foreign Affairs, immediately attempt to contact the aliens. We, the Lizardmen, surrender!" Lixilari and the other two kings finished their discussion and decided to surrender.
"Yes! Contacting them immediately!"
While the high-level officials of the Lizardman Civilization were discussing surrender, Su Fan was in the captain's room of the tianyuan, listening to the Red Queen's report.
"Currently, as an established Level 1 Civilization, although the Lizardman Civilization hasn't had significant technological progress for tens of thousands of years, they have made two major discoveries in exploring the surrounding starry sky," the Red Queen explained slowly.
"The first discovery was accidentally entering a natural wormhole and finding the Solar System 4.2 light-years away."
"The second discovery was also through accidentally entering a wormhole. In another direction, approximately 20 light-years from Proxima Centauri, they found a super-large stellar system. Within this stellar system, there is a planet with a primitive civilization."
"This planet is a solid planet and is very, very massive. According to the unit conversions of the Lizardman and Blue Star Civilizations, it is as large as Jupiter!"
Su Fan's eyes lit up after hearing this. A solid planet as large as Jupiter with a primitive civilization—he really wanted to see it as soon as possible.
"What about the Lizardmen who accidentally entered the primitive planet?" Su Fan asked.
"The spaceship's power engine failed. They only had enough time to send some information and images back to their home planet before being pulled in by the gravity of that giant primitive planet, crashing to their deaths," the Red Queen replied.
"Uh... that luck... is truly something..." Su Fan was speechless.
To say this Lizardman had bad luck, he encountered an extremely rare natural wormhole; to say he had good luck, he died right after passing through it.
Fate is truly unpredictable!
"I feel like all the luck of the Lizardman Civilization was spent on discovering that natural wormhole," the Great Elder commented from the side.
"That makes sense, haha!" Su Fan laughed, feeling very pleased. Now the location of this living planet was essentially a free gift to the Xia Kingdom.
"I think after we finish off the Lizard race, we can directly move on to the primitive planet. A distance of 20 light-years isn't too far," the Great Elder suggested.
"I think so too! Haha!" Su Fan and the Great Elder looked at each other and smiled.
"Master, there is an incoming communication request from the Lizardman Civilization!" Just then, the Red Queen's voice came through.
