Chapter 362: 8.87 First Blue Star - A love letter.

On the Planet of Citlali. 

The human versus zerg war on Planet Citlali had finally begun. Marshal Sirius was planned to stay at the base until the guardian level Zerg entered the planet. Feng Jing's role is to scout and eliminate hidden dangers like ambushes from the enemies and traps while the rest just had to kill any zergs that will enter the land and sky.

They do it in shifting schedules where they would be working one day and the other at night. This would allow one to take a half-day rest until the generals of the other sides come over. Moreover, there is Feng Jing controlling the number of enemies for their subordinates to kill with him on sight; those Guardian Zergs wouldn't dare to enter the planet unless less than half of the population with low to high-level strength are dead.

The soldiers and students who were in groups and went to their designated location were startled to see ashes all over the field plus some barrier made from ice on the exact location they would be staying. Everyone knew that Lord Jing must have cleaned up the place and made them a temporary shelter where their healers and support comrades can hide while the warriors are out fighting. 

But the scope of the ashes and broken fragmented iced limbs of the zerg can be seen all over. Obviously, Lord Jing didn't just clear one area but all over the map was checked by him as well.

Qu Yul and the other students look at the left behind traces of their overpowered leader.

Han Ling, "Wow~ look how many there are? I can't even tell the numbers on sight?"

"Don't count. I heard it's beyond millions. The number of low and middle level zergs then invaded this star." said Qu Yeon.

Qu Yul said, "If we did it we'll be dead tired the moment the big ones come out. That's why the leader killed all the small fries on his way."

"Lord Jing is awesome. No matter what direction we look, there are only dead on the way," said Tang San.

Tang Yi said, "Stop looking, we need to prepare for battle."

Tang Si, Si Shen, and Wu Liu are looking at the radar that they had installed in the area. This is a gadget that was invented by Solaris Vega which is compatible with Etoile's Program. Right now, Every soldier in Fallen God's unit was also registered as a host under System Etoile. They were tasked to complete whatever mission Etoile is to give them and the rewards are for them to have.

Because of this, everyone in the Fallen God's Unit knows how miraculous System Etoile is. With Etoile, those who were formerly ordinary people had a chance to awaken as long as they complete their mission. But for now, only those connected to Feng Jing knew about this, they kept it a secret until the right moment.

Outer space. Near the Galaxy System where Planet Zerg is located.

The area around this planet is full of asteroids scattering around as if hiding this black planet. But the ones living in this Star that had become the nest of Zerg didn't know the danger currently hiding within those asteroids. It's been a few days since those who chose a different mission left Planet Citlali. 

It took a few long-distance spaces jumps for the battleships under the units of King Zenith, Major General Feng Yang, and Lieutenant Generals Nova Seren and Nova Revel to arrive at their target location.

Before they left Citlali, Feng Jing had refined the stealth programs of their warships. Their usual shealth program can only last for a few hours, half a day at most but with the program Feng Jing had given them as long as their ships had energy stones spares to use they can last until all those are used up.

They've already activated it on the last jump to the galaxy where the Zerg Planet is. Of course, they didn't forget to send a message of their arrival to the Old Marshal who had been waiting there for a few days already. After they got his coordinates everyone went to their designated area and sent a small personal ship to see the marshal. 

Once they had all gathered, everyone saluted the middle-aged man in his near forties, though his age is already beyond 300 years old like old master Feng Xuan.

"Salute to the Grand Marshal!" greeted by the group of Generals before him.

Old Marshal Janus sighed and gestures a salute as a return. Everyone inside the ship did the same thing.

"Good job coming here unhindered. It seems no one noticed your arrival in this galaxy system." said the Grand Marshal.

It was the quite rude Lieutenant General Nova Revel who cleared his father-in-law's guesses.

"This is all thanks to our darling Jingjing. He had created a new Stealth System which can last as long as one has Energy stones to spare. Unlike the usual stealth programs which only last for a few hours before needing to activate it once again." said Lieutenant General Nova Revel.

The Grand Marshal and his people's eyes glow upon hearing this. Any programs their Young Lord Jing made are overpowered and cost-efficient. They would sometimes wonder what is inside that godly genius' head.

The Old Grand Marshal showed a rare proud face once he heard that, "Of course! Our darling is the smartest!" He said even the corner of his lips was a bit upturned and his stern expression slightly mellowed.

Everyone's thoughts as one, 'Silly doting old man'

They suddenly saw the grand marshal's expression turn serious and said, "By the way, Sirius reported that the huge fleet of the Zerg race had finally arrived at Planet Citlali. The war had begun in that abandoned star."

"Are you worried about Xiao Jing, Grandfather Lan? Please don't worry Brother Sirius is with him," said Major General Feng Yang.

The Grand Marshal suddenly snorted and retorted, "It would be a huge help if that useless brat didn't drag our darling's legs down. I've also seen the execution that Xiao Jing had done. It was a good move for our side."

Once the execution led by Feng Jing was mentioned, those who had witnessed the scene with their own eyes slightly frowned. Only Lieutenant General Nova Revel who arrived late didn't say it himself but he watched the video. It was so cool for an aggressive person like him. Even King Zenith had prevented his wife from watching it herself. 

Of course, the Grand Marshal noticed the change of expression on these mature men.

He raised one of his eyebrows and said, "Did you think that Xiao Jing's actions are cruel?"

"..."

They got scolded when they answered the grand marshal with silence.

"Foolish! You're even more soft-hearted than an 18-year-old young man! Did you really think that Xiao Jing did all those just because he is angry and to take revenge!? NO! It isn't that simple." said the Grand Marshal.

Everyone looked at the fierce Old Marshal in front of them. But they didn't say a thing to rebuke the grand marshal's words.

"Sigh~ Xiao Jing isn't even a complete adult yet but he is able to think more strategically than you veteran soldiers. He massacred the Navi Clan because he wanted the Imperial Clan to lessen their influence. Once the Empire heard about the dirty secrets the Royal family and the Navi Clan did, they would be disheartened and look twice before supporting the Imperial family.

The imperial clan right now are no longer humans unlike before. As long as the fame of the Imperial Clan lessened we would be able to eliminate the parasitic zergs before someone learned about it. No one would like to hear that a high-ranking zerg was able to infiltrate the capital behind their backs. Moreover, someone who possesses influence that can contend against the Federation. 

Xiao Jing used this as an opportunity to hit on not only the Navi Clan but also the Royal Family. That massacre had a concrete reason behind it. Xiao Jing is not after all born as a cruel child. Didn't you grow up with him? You should be ashamed that you didn't trust your younger brother more! Hmp!" explained Grand Marshal Janus.

The guilty ones all lowered their heads and avoided meeting the glare from the elder before. Of course, no one from the grand marshal's side spoke a word to help the younglings as they were at fault here. 

Grand Marshal Janus spoke, "No one would remain as a child. Sooner or later Xiao Jing will grow up and need to leave the nest. I'm pretty sure with how possessive that Sirius brat is, the time you can see the little darling would greatly be lessened.

I can even my clan in the pool after Xiao Jing married that stupid brat we would only be able to see him at New Year and birthdays at most. On regular holidays he would definitely bring little darling away.

You better hinder that brat! I wanted to do it but it's embarrassing for an elder to make it hard on the young man. You do it for this old man!"

Feng Yang, Feng Yue, Nova Seren, and Regulus Zenith hesitated for a moment and only the fearless Nova Revel puffed his chest and said, "Leave it to me, Old Man! I won't let that brat Sirius marry our Jingjing!" 

Three years later as soon as Feng Jing reached the right age for marriage, Marshal Sirius immediately come over to the Feng Mansion to get his bride only to be locked out of the Mansion for a few months until Feng Jing helps his husband to pacify the old men and siblings at home. Only his father and mothers-in-law help him albeit secretly and Nova Revel got beaten up by his supposed-to-be nephew multiple times at this time.

After that conversation, they had finally taken their seats and talked about the mission to obliterate the Planet where the zergs live. The grand marshal only supervised but didn't get involved with the children's mission. He enjoyed his tea while listening to the younger generation talk.

As expected Feng Yang took the lead in conversation as the others were either the silent type or someone to only follow the orders given to them. They all listed the things that needed to be completed before destroying the planet. Once they've learned that the old marshal is able to contact someone from the inside, these generals finally take a sigh of relief. 

With Former Marshal Alula guiding them, they should be able to infiltrate the planet much more easily. Once everyone from Alula Clan was safely transported out of the planet to their hidden fleet, only then they would begin the massacre and exterminate the whole zerg race. Lastly, destroying the planet is the final goal of this mission.

They've taken different things to do. One is a decoy, the other to enter the planet, another to secure the exit, and lastly, it helps their comrades to leave the planet as quietly as possible.

Once the plan had been finalized and with the grand marshal's consent. They were finally able to do their mission. They had first contacted Alula Celeste who is waiting in some luxurious independent palace within the planet Zerg. 

The one who sent the message is the Grand Marshal. On the secret communicator that Alula Celeste had received a short message.

[The children would be coming to pick you up, my dearest.]

Reading this message a sweet and gentle smile appeared on Alula Celeste's siren-like appearance. His people who act as his servant notice the sincerity of his clan leader's place.

The servant asked, "Is there something wrong, your highness?"

"Hm~ my love sent me a love letter," replied Alula Celeste.
