Chapter 960: The insect disaster is over
Charlotte's expression became somewhat complicated when she mentioned the people who had sacrificed their lives.
Zhao Chen patted Charlotte on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we have successfully received their life signals."
Charlotte nodded, but her eyes still seemed somewhat dim.
Even though she knew these crew members had been 'resurrected,' she also knew that a small number of Space Marines might never be able to return to the battlefield.
There has been one number so far.
Of all those resurrected, nearly 0.5% of the crew members who were resurrected for the first time were permanently relegated to the sidelines due to post-traumatic stress disorder.
The more times a crew member is resurrected, the higher the risk in this regard.
Furthermore, some of the crew members, even those who received psychological counseling, may still suffer from lifelong psychological trauma, and some have even attempted suicide.
Therefore, even knowing that their crew members could be resurrected.
Among the high-ranking officers of the Xiaolong Legion, there is a desire to minimize the casualties of their subordinates, if possible.
Perhaps it's because they have such a commander; his spirit has inspired them.
"How are things going?" Charlotte asked, putting aside her sadness.
She hadn't forgotten her responsibilities; she was still the highest-ranking military commander in this massive battle.
Zhao Chen gave Lilith and Little Dragon Girl a look.
The two then informed Charlotte of the latest battlefield situation and, with the help of the Dragon Emperor's functions, allowed Charlotte to understand the situation in as much detail as possible in the shortest possible time.
Previously, she only had some basic information, and because she was also caught up in a fierce battle, she naturally didn't have time to analyze the situation on other battlefields in detail.
Half an hour later.
Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen: "Judging from the current situation, we have basically gained the upper hand and the initiative in this insect swarm battle."
Now we'll see how this insect swarm ends.
Zhao Chen was silent for a moment before he spoke: "My request is simple: wipe out all the interstellar Zerg outside this area by the end of June!"
Zhao Chen drew a circle around the cosmic wormhole on the interstellar war sandbox.
As for why it's the end of June...
That's naturally due to the time limit for Zhao Chen's quarterly mission.
"The end of June... It's already mid-May now."
There are still two weeks until June.
Next, we will allow the withdrawn fleets to rest for about a week, complete logistical resupply, and restore their combat capabilities.
Over the next month, we can formulate a three-phase offensive plan.
Each attack is tentatively scheduled for one week.
During this week's offensive, we gradually compressed the Zerg's occupied territory.
Furthermore, they launched a targeted decapitation strike against the surviving T5 Leviathan-class Zerg motherships.
Charlotte quickly shared her thoughts.
The little dragon girl next to her added, "Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with Charlotte's strategic plan."
Furthermore, the intervals between each attack can provide our legion fleet with time to rest.
This will greatly reduce our battlefield losses.
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's follow Charlotte's idea and formulate a detailed battle plan."
After he finished speaking, he stared at a large red area on the interstellar war sandbox.
The real cleanup plan is about to begin!

The various legions and fleets, having completed their rest and reorganization, formed ten large offensive fleet groups and hundreds of smaller offensive fleet groups.
Basically, it's a replica of the previous defensive strategies for both large and small positions.
However, this time it was used for offense.
During the first offensive cycle.
Charlotte personally led the First Legion of the Falcon, and while attacking, she organized an elite fleet to launch a surprise attack, killing two T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg motherships!
Meanwhile, the Hades-class interstellar dreadnought, along with fifteen T5 interstellar warships, once again set out to hunt down three T5 Leviathan-class Zerg hive motherships in just seven days.
From then on, the number of T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg motherships in the Zerg fleet decreased from the initial eleven to two that Charlotte destroyed.
Now, only four T5 Leviathan-class Zerg Hive Motherships remain.
Perhaps sensing the danger, the four T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg hive motherships also regrouped.
Little did they know that these four remaining T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg Hive Motherships had become the most dazzling target among all the senior commanders of the Falcon Dragon Legion.

With the start of the second phase of the offensive.
Empress Saint Cana's Holy Light Empress Fleet, in conjunction with Shen Bing's Fourth Legion of the Falcon Dragons, slayed a T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg Hive Mothership.
The following day, Chu Xuan's Fifth Legion and Medusa's Sixth Legion cooperated to encircle and kill a T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg mothership.
At this point, the two remaining T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg motherships retreated directly to the vicinity of the cosmic Zerg nest.
Regarding these two remaining T5 Zergling Motherships.
Zhao Chen naturally wouldn't let it go.

After the second offensive cycle ends, they will take a break.
The Dragon Legion led the allied forces in launching the third and final offensive operation!
In just five days.
The Dragon Legion led the allied forces and drove the remaining Zerg fleet into the 'Redeemer System', where the cosmic wormhole was located.
This is the new name that Empress Saint Cana gave to this galaxy.
I wonder if it was because Empress Saint Cana felt a sense of atonement for the Holy Radiant Empire's failure to handle the disaster properly, which resulted in the deaths of a large number of civilians.
It seems like all of this is over?
Don't forget, there are also those two T5 Leviathan-class Zerg hive motherships.
Zhao Chen organized an elite fleet, led by fifteen T5 interstellar warships, with a large number of interstellar missile ships providing fire support.
Ultimately, under the fierce barrage, the last two T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg motherships perished one after another.
Even the corpses were dragged out by the interstellar warships arranged by Zhao Chen.
Within the galaxy covered by this cosmic wormhole, there still exist many interstellar insectoids.
But it's impossible to get rid of these guys here.
As long as this cosmic wormhole cannot be shut down, this problem will remain unresolved.
We can only copy the disposal plan for that level-four cosmic wormhole in the Snow Swallow Starfield of the Star Glory Empire.
Centered on this Redeemer star system, the twelve surrounding star systems were collectively designated as a military-controlled star region.
A legion fleet from the Holy Radiant Empire will be stationed here permanently.
Regularly clear out any Zerg fleets that appear.
All of this made it seem as if the insect swarm disaster had come to an end.
