I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 2247: 25.137 Lone Black Star - Surrounded

With the sudden command from the Grand Duke who seems now asking people to give him the records of these past few hours and days. This commander wanted to find when was the first time the numbers of zergs chasing after them. As expected upon checking they had realized that the decreasing number of zergs wasn’t instantly done. It was done slowly and carefully, and the number of zerg disappearing from the radar decreased as it reached the current situation where everyone had noticed that the number of people chasing after them had disappeared. Most of the soldiers had cheered when they thought that they could finally take their proper rest only to know that they were in a worse scenario than they can imagine.

As the grand duke checked on the situation, he realized things a bit too late and the plans of the Zerg race about capturing them after they were caught in their trap was something no one from this side had noticed. Seeing that the commotion in the spaceship had shifted multiple times, they failed to realize that there is an entrapment plan that was about to target everyone in this spaceship and their situation would be worse than they are right now. Just as the grand duke was about to lose it, the crown prince, Ye Qinya, had arrived. He had come to the command area to switch positions with his imperial uncle and take control of the situation.

Ye Qinya asked, "Imperial Uncle? Are you still working? Do you want me to take over the command?"

"There is indeed a problem. You should go ahead and check it yourself and tell me what you think about these reports," said the Grand Duke as he passed the tablet where the pile of files about the records of the detectors in the past few hours.

The Crown Prince, Ye Qinya, was skeptical at the beginning only after he had seen the record that a frown appeared on his face the more he read about the reports. His face is uglier as he realized that there was indeed something wrong.

"There is something not right. Imperial Uncle, I need to call Yun’er so we can check the real situation right now," said Ye Qinya.

In a while, under the commands of the Grand Duke and the crown prince, the crown princess, Ye Caoyun, had been called over. Ye Caoyun didn’t waste time and immediately came to the command center after he was told that his foster father and fiance had called him over. He immediately understood things when Ye Qinya explained the situation to her.

"The slow decrease in the number of pursuers is not normal," said Ye Qinya who was explaining the situation to his own future wife. "They’ve started disappearing into one to two small groups. The first one disappeared to the right after it was detected by the machine with their exact coordinates at certain times."

"They had indeed checked, only to find a person appearing before this soldier and was announced as someone that shouldn’t exist in the database of their Empire Star," said Ye Caoyun. "This feeling... It seems to be a trap which is carefully constructed."

"Look at this the first batch had disappeared on the right and then another group moving who had left with one of the four big orbs flying directly in front of their spaceship and stopping them from their tracks. This is clearly a plan to capture us," said the Crown Princess, Ye Caoyun.

Upon hearing the conversation between the royal family, it didn’t take long for the whole ship to learn that the spaceship they were in would most likely be targeted when that happens, there would be no more safe place for them Imperial Empress, Imperial Emperor and the newborn Second Prince.

The Grand Duke said, "What should be done in this kind of situation?"

"It is already too late to avoid them, we are already surrounded," said Ye Qinya, the Crown Prince.

The Crown Princess, Ye Caoyun, said, "Since they cannot be avoided then we can only fight. It would be better if we open a path to send Dad, Mother Empress and the second prince out of this trap. As long as they are alive, those at the camp would definitely come and save them."

He suddenly looked at his lover, the crown prince and said, "If we fight until they have broken out of their encirclement then... We will be able to fight properly. Don’t frown. The opponents were only demigods. We should be able to fight them all."

The Grand Duke frowned when he heard about the plans of these two planning to fight outside, opening them a path of escape while blocking the zergs from chasing after their spaceship.

Lord Ye Jie said, "It wouldn’t only be you who would come out of the spaceship to stop the zergs from attacking the flying vessel. I would as well."

"You can’t!" said the crown prince and the crown princess at the same time.

A frown appeared on the grand duke’s face and asked, "What do you mean? I can still fight those insects! This is my duty."

"Father, you must stay on the spaceship and leave with the rest of the family members," Ye Caoyun, the crown princess said.

The crown prince Ye Qinya said, "Yun’er is correct, Imperial Uncle. With us blocking most of them only you can protect the rest of the family. My father’s injuries haven’t completely recovered enough for him to be able to fight against these insects. Please think of my newborn brother."

"Father, Qin-ge is telling the truth. After all, it can no longer be hidden and we can only expose everything," said the crown princess, Ye Caoyun. "The Zerg race should be arriving soon."

"I have checked. There is one group in each direction. The worst news is about the one at front blocking the path of this spaceship," said Ye Caoyun.

He had used his divine consciousness and within the center and realized that he had noticed that they had longed been trapped. Now that some insect race has detected some kind of energy that washed over them. There is the feeling of being restrained when Ye Caoyun tries to sweep through the area and realizes that they were already surrounded. He realized that it is now impossible to escape this place without fighting.

The crown princess murmured, "A set of royal grade zergs. Must be a family. That means we are fighting against a million zergs and four who possess the power of a royal grade zerg."

The grand duke asked again, "Do I truly not need to fight with the two of you?"

"No need. Father, it’s about time they made a move. Please get ready to leave as soon as possible. We will stop them from chasing after this spaceship," said the crown prince.

As if answering to the words Ye Qinya had just spoken, sounds of warning from the spaceship had rung all over the command center. From the detector, zergs had surrounded them and were about to enclose the trap they had prepared for them.

A soldier urgently announced, "Report! Zerg presence can be found from all directions with our ship at the center. They wanted to trap us!"

"Don’t panic! Prepare for a space jump," said the Crown Prince, Ye Qinya.

Seeing the trap formation that can be seen from the detector, the royal family members finally made a move. The crown prince and crown princess had brought out their personal mechas and were about to come out of the spaceship.

The crown princess, Ye Caoyun turns to look at his father, "I will give you the hint when you can use the space jump."

"...Alright. You two be careful. May the victory be yours," said the grand duke.

This time he had made a gesture that shows the crown prince and crown princess the greatest respect he can give them as a person of the Empire. He had sent them off not only as a father or as an uncle but also as someone who serves the empire as if sending off the heroes to their final battle.

Ye Qinya and Ye Caoyun smiled and saluted to the grand duke and the rest of the soldiers inside the room before finally coming out of the space ship riding their mechas. This young couple didn’t hesitate to go out and confront thousands of zergs with just the two of them. Outside the spaceship, the personal mechas of the crown prince and the crown princess saw with their own eyes, the waves of zergs that were about to attack the spaceship. The two split with the Crown Prince at the front and the Crown Princess at the rear.

Suddenly, a burst of black shadows spreads from the front of the spaceship devouring all zergs that come in contact with these black shadows, as for the reas, a sudden wave of tree branches spread out from all directions with the crown princess at the center. This is Ye Caoyun’s ability to control plants. He was controlling space born plants that can grow even in space alone. With his qi, these rare plants grew too fast and ate the zergs on his path. With these two attacks, the space ship at the center was completely unmoved by the surge of clashes surrounding it from all sides.
