The situation on the front lines was not good. In fact, it was so bad that they could not even spare extra teams to search for His Royal Highness the Prince, and could only pray for nothing to happen to him; it would be best if he could come back by himself.
The Princess had brought a division of troops with him to reinforce the front line soldiers who were suffering Zerg attacks. Regardless of what the Princess’ purpose was in coming here, they were all grateful to him.

The Zerg were getting fiercer year by year. This year’s Zerg tide was especially large, and they had no idea what kind of crazy motivation they had, but they had launched a frenzied attack. If the Princess had not brought people with him, they probably would not have been able to hold out for long before their line of defense broke down.
Xue Ling only noticed the Zerg’s madness after he arrived on the front lines. He first dove straight into battle and killed for three days, eliminating countless waves of Zergs, before finally having time to meet with the generals stationed on the front lines to learn more about what had been going on here.
The Prince had been ambushed and disappeared before he had even arrived at this support station planet. So he had never officially arrived at the station, and many documents were only being seen by Xue Ling for the first time. He could not hide his surprise at all.
A general who had been stationed at the supply station was awed by Xue Ling’s ruthless and fierce display of strength as he slaughtered the Zerg over the past three days, and completely did not dare to look down on the Princess. He was respectful as he reported, “Actually, it was still fine a while ago, and there weren’t so many waves before His Highness the Prince arrived. The Zerg began to act crazily about half a month ago, and it is unknown what kind of stimulation they received. They seemed to be in a hurry, and were even madly fighting amongst each other. If Your Highness had not arrived, perhaps we would not have been able to hold on.”
The Empire’s front line was divided into two parts. One part was the east side that was comprised mostly of the Rhine family’s forces, and held Rhine family members. They had fought against the Zerg for many years, and all had the strength to fight against the powerful Zerg. The south side was defended by the Emperor’s elites who took turns commanding, and people came from different parts of the Empire every year. This was a platform for accumulating military merits and demonstrating strength. Many noble children were willing to come and fight here, just like the Prince who had just reached adulthood and couldn’t wait to come here to develop his own power.
Xue Ling glanced over at the Prince’s guard who was standing respectfully beside him, and reached for the document. “Now that I’m here, it’s bound to be secure. The Zerg can’t keep clamouring. We’ll kill them all in their home territory one day.”
He was very arrogant, but he had this capital. His three-day record was several times that of many new soldiers; he basically cut down the Zerg like he was chopping cabbage. No one here sneered at him. Rather, because of his words, they all felt enthusiasm rise up in their hearts.

Even the Prince’s guard felt his blood boiling.
In the past, his master did not like the Princess, and so he seldom tried to learn more about His Highness the Princess. Now that he had witnessed the His Highness’ charm, he could only sigh that His Highness the Prince had been blessed with good fortune to have such a wonderful wife. He had a Princess like this, but was still unhappy. How high were his requirements; was it necessary for them to go to heaven?
Well, these kinds of disparaging remarks were buried deeply in his heart. He still had deep respect for the Prince. It was just that when it came to feelings, he found it rather hard to agree with his Prince’s opinion.
The Princess was so strong and beautiful, how could His Highness the Prince be unsatisfied?
If Xue Ling knew what he was thinking, he would probably pat him on the shoulder and tell him that the Prince was dissatisfied with everything. The Prince just loathed him; it was probably like how he also found him disagreeable to the eyes.
He could even make the decision to stab that man to death if he had transmigrated into the Prince’s body. It was not surprising that the Prince would also want him dead.

When he returned to his room that evening, Xue Ling finally had time to open his nano-computer and ask the system that had been integrated into the network: “System, why is it that right now I’m still perfectly fine, but the Zerg have gone crazy?”
These days, the system had been crazily absorbing interstellar culture so as to facilitate its host’s future learning. Having been pulled out so abruptly, it was stunned for a while before it could reply, “The Zerg have gone crazy?”
“Pretty much.” Xue Ling looked at the number of attacks they had launched today. Although it had suddenly increased, it had not reached the stage of a true frenzy yet. After all, based on his memories and the data provided about the future, if the Zerg were really to have gone crazy like they did in the plot, the station would have been completely swallowed up by them a long time ago. “However, unlike that unrestrained frenzy, what they are doing seems more like they are having a last stand.”
The system shook its head. “I don’t know what’s going on. As the levels of the worlds we enter goes up, the information that we are provided with becomes more and more one-sided.”
“Tsk.” Xue Ling pouted. Although it was more fun to explore the worlds by himself, it still didn’t feel good that there were some things that weren’t within his grasp. “One more thing.”
“What?” The little fox shook out its tail and ran out of the nano-computer into Xue Ling’s chest, rubbing against its host.
Although its master and host then denounced him for embarrassing the fox race…
Whatever. It’s fine as long as it feels good.

“I feel something calling to me.” Xue Ling frowned, his expression showing his unhappiness. “From the other side of the Zerg’s territory. It makes me want to directly slaughter my way over.”
As soon as his voice fell, the system froze, and then its expression turned blank as it said, “Congratulations to the host triggering the task: Destroying the Zerg clan.”
Xue Ling’s head was full of question marks. He then watched as the system puffed up: “Ah! I know why the Zerg in this world are so fierce!”
Xue Ling wanted to ask, wasn’t this race’s power due to human imagination? These worlds seemed to be artificially created. The fact that the Zerg were hard to fight was a common setting in most interstellar novels.
The system continued: “Although it is a common setting, the world should always balance itself out automatically. Some things will always have a cause and effect. The Zerg in this world were not this strong at first. But one day, a source of power fell into their territory. Under the influence of this power, the Zerg completely changed and gradually evolved into what they are now.”
“What you want to say is that this power…”
“That’s the host’s tail.” The system’s words were extremely certain. “Since it was a power that came from outside this world, and it was demonic power at that, it makes sense for the Zerg to have turned into what they are now.”
