As soon as Yang Ming's projection connected to the virtual command center, he felt the tense and oppressive atmosphere there.
He had already received the news that the first disaster-stricken planet had appeared, with thirty-two million Empire citizens slaughtered by the Insect Race.
The disaster occurred on a planet located near the inner edge of the Empire's border, while two nearby Administrative Stars with shelters remained unharmed.
Data returned from the shelter system indicated that the Insect Race conducted extensive excavation to find humans hiding underground, while the Empire's fleet is actively mobilizing but unable to directly attack the swarm's invasion route.
Inside this virtual hall, hurried figures could be seen everywhere.
Yang Ming found Thomas, who was standing in front of a large screen, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, his expression showing no discernible anger or sorrow.
"General."
