SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

"Good," Xu Qianghua nodded.

"We must finish this and not leave any survivors," Xu Qianghua continued, but a pair of arms tightened around him, preventing him from sitting next to the mothers.

Xu Qianghua smiled as he brought a hand towards Su Lian\'s head and patted her head, causing her to nuzzle against his neck.

However, Xu Qinaghua still went towards the chair with Liu Meiying and Bai Lingyun were sitting, and sat in the middle, with Su Lian sitting on his lap.

"How long has the battle been going on?" Xu Qianghua asked.

"For a few hours or so" Bai Lingyun replied, glancing sideways at Su Lian, who was now sitting quietly and comfortably on his lap.

"So, how is the progress looking?" Xu Qianghua asked.

Bai Lingyun shrugged. "The Zerg have been dealt a huge blow, but they\'re still holding on."

"And what about the families and the ancestors?" Xu Qianghua asked.

Liu Meiying chuckled. "Oh, the elders and ancestors have done an excellent job, and even the family members are performing beyond expectations.

So, I guess we can say that our plan is working as we can see their true strengths against the Zerg, and we will have a good harvest after all this is done, which is a good \'cheery on top.\'"

"Good," Xu Qianghua nodded, and again, a pair of hands hugged him, preventing him from getting close to the two ladies.

Su Lian was not happy, but Xu Qianghua knew it, so he brought his hand to her face and caressed her, causing Su Lian to purr in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, back at the battle scene, the Zerg were not doing well, and the leaders were starting to panic.

"Damn it," one leader snarled, his voice strained.

"These things are relentless."

"Where are the others?" another leader insisted. "The others should have come to us after they have landed, but there is no sign of them anywhere."

"I don\'t know," a third leader hissed, his eyes narrowing. "There are still no signs of any other pods. This is bad.

Something\'s not right. We need to retreat. We can\'t continue this. It\'s too risky."

"What do you mean, retreat?" the first leader asked, his tone incredulous.

And he has reason to be surprised as they have never really retreated as they were always the ones with the upper hand.

But now here they were thinking about retreating, which alone can make them the laughing stock of the Hive, not to mention what will they tell the Queen.

Would it be: "I am sorry, your Highness, but we were unable to gain anything from one of the planets due to wrong info from the ship navigator.

And this small mistake has cost us an entire ship, along with thousands of Zerg on the planet and the people who resided there."

Thinking of this, the Zerg shook his head, but he forgot that this is an active battlefield and he was being besieged by more than one Nascent Soul cultivation.

This is not a simple mistake that can be overlooked, and even the other Zerg would not care for his excuses.

"No," the leader growled, his golden eyes glinting angrily. "We will not retreat. We have been given an assignment. We will not abandon it.

"But what if—?"

"No," the leader said, cutting him off. "I will not accept failure. We will fight. We will kill these pathetic creatures.

Then, we will return home in victory.

That is how the Zerg fight. That is what the Hive does." Explore hidden tales at empire

The other leaders hesitated, their golden eyes flickering with uncertainty.

But their determination returned as the leader\'s words sank in, and their resolve hardened.

"We will not run," a leader hissed.

"Never," another snarled.

"We will win," the lead Nascent Soul Zerg promised. "We will not fail."

With their leader\'s encouragement, the Zerg launched another vicious offensive. Their mandibles snapped, and their claws slashed, cutting down the enemy ruthlessly.

But despite their ferocity, their numbers were dwindling.

Their casualties were mounting, and their losses were growing.

"Hold on," the leader urged. "We can\'t let these beasts defeat us. We must push back. We must not surrender.

"Never," the Zerg hissed.

"For the Hive," a leader cried, his voice filled with rage and determination.

"For the Hive," the others echoed, their eyes blazing with fervor.

With renewed vigor, the Zerg swarmed forward, their movements frenzied. They were a sea of insect-like figures, their bodies crashing against the shoreline.

But the cultivators were not fazed.

They held their ground, their weapons flashing as they struck back against the encroaching horde.

Back at the office, Xu Qianghua, who had his hand under Su Lian\'s clothes and was pinching and playing with her nipples, was watching the battle and noticed the change in the Zerg\'s behavior.

"Seems like the last stand has begun," he muttered.

"Well, yeah, that\'s a natural response," Bai Lingyun chuckled, glancing at how Su Lian was clinging onto Xu Qianghua.

"Hey," Xu Qianghua laughed. "You can\'t blame me for this; I must compensate her."

"Oh, we\'re not blaming you, just pointing it out," Liu Meiying giggled, enjoying the scene before her.

"Yeah, and the Zerg are losing," Xu Qianghua commented.

"That\'s to be expected," Bai Lingyun pointed out.

"After all, they have always acted in swarms, but here, we have already divided their swarm, and their numbers are too low, so of course, the cultivators would have an advantage," she continued.

"I guess," Xu Qianghua nodded. He then moved his other hand toward Su Lian\'s waist and placed it there.

He then turned his gaze to the hologram projection, observing the battle, while Su Lian snuggled closer to him, enjoying the sensation his hands were giving her.

"But they sure are really determined," Xu Qianghua remarked, noticing the tenacious attitude of the Zerg.

"They have been living and fighting together for a long time, and the hive mind greatly impacts their behavior, especially the ones at the top level.

The Zerg has an intense competitive nature, amplified by the hive mind. So, for the sake of the hive, the Zerg will not stop fighting, even if the result is obvious.

It\'s a fascinating yet scary phenomenon," Bai Lingyun observed.

"True," Liu Meiying nodded.
