Ace Of Terrans

While Shi Lang had finished making arrangements about the fleet expansion and support from the secret divisions was also confirmed. He came back to the frontier quickly and took charge of the fleet and the overall operations.

The progress was swift, with the help of the deputies, Shi Lang was conquering one sector at a time, and he had given clear orders, that was to clean up everyone. The process of reproduction among the Zergs was hideous in a way. The females will lay eggs after they have had intercourse, later those eggs will give birth to a fetus, then the embryo will be put in a human-sized urn, the embryo will grow in there for five months, and come out as an adult.

This was not the natural process, but the Zergs followed it as they wanted their offspring to be strong, and the urn would be filled with the blood and meat of various creatures. The embryo will grow up feeding on these things and become stronger but also, triggering a genetic mutation. The mutation made them cannibalistic and hungry.

A few of the Zerg command went under operations and gene therapies so that they could maintain their sanity. This was why such savage people could have spaceships and even sit in the galactic council and pretend to be sophisticated.

Shi Lang did not like this pretense and thus the order was passed to kill them all. However, he also said that if any female is discovered to be expecting, then they are to be taken into custody and given gene treatment. The people were all aware of the in and outs of the commands, so they did not hesitate in moving forward.

Shi Lang exercised complete transparency. Expect for the secret discussions, the tasks performed by the soldiers were all disclosed to them in a message before deployment. This was to make the soldiers understand that they were not monsters and they were not people without restrains. This method was really efficient. Soldiers went down without any mental pressure and self-blame.

Even on the planets that seemed to be barren, the population was massive, and the forces faces strong resistance. While the Federation was advancing steadily, a lot of other parties had become restless.

Jacuuba raised a question in the Galactic Council meeting, he wanted the higher-ups to step in and stop the actions of the Terrans. He went on and even blamed the Federation forces for genocide and massacre, directly calling Shi Lang a war criminal.

The representative of the Terrans, Shashi was called forward to answer the allegations, and the man did step forward. He looked right back at the Zerg Chancellor and said, “You call us war criminals, then what about your species that does not know how to respect the dead? You claim that we are committing genocide. Well, is it not your own species that used unnatural breeding methods to seek power and turn into cannibalistic maniacs? You had the gene treatment available for yourself and the upper government of the Zerg civilization, yet you did not provide it to the rest of your kin. Your petty thinking is the reason for this situation.”

The debate went on and on but in the end, the higher-ups favored the Federation. Jacuuba could do nothing and clench his fists. While the higher-ups spoke in favor of the federation, the group of people who were on borders with other Cannibal species began to contact Shashi. They all wanted to enlist the help of the young general in exchange for benefits.

Shashi promised to relay the message and then as Shi Lang had asked him earlier, find as much information as possible about the other party. This was an opportunity to extend the connections of the federation to the other parts of the Galaxy.

Shi Lang was very sure about what will happen if they could help the victim civilizations. They can form an interstellar alliance and this alliance will make things such as business and technology enhance by at least one level.

…

Time seemed to have grown wings, and a few months passed very quickly. Shi Lang’s vision had become a reality and the impact of this vision was the growth of the federal forces twofold. The ingenious species had a sub fleet of their own, they were not working under the terrans but learning from them.

At any given moment, twelve fleets guarded the main borders of the stellar borders, Six fleets were in charge of patrolling, while the other six sat in reserve. This arrangement would change with a year passed on the federation. What was even more, that the ingenious species sent recruits in such high numbers and seventy percent of them were selected by the forces.

Since the number was high, two separate Secret divisions were set up in outer space, and their task was to maintain order in the ingenious people. The integration was in the basic phase, and the government would introduce, inter fleet transfers, so that the Terrans and the other species could mix up well.

Shi Lang, however, made a decision to lead by example and a small platoon was incorporated into the first fleet. The soldiers all knew what their General wanted to do, so they did. They all welcomed the colonial natives to be with them and learn their culture.

However, it was not all smooth, many times there will be a dispute and Shi Lang was forced to take action and punish the offender. The punishment was to do chores for each other mostly, however, one time a fight broke out between two people. A trial was held and the offender turned out to be the heir of a military family.

Shi Lang did not give anyone preferential treatment but he was soft and patient with the ingenious races as they were newly introduced to the military. This made the scions think that the fleet general was biased.

During the trial, the offender stood up, pointed his finger at Shi Lang, and said, “You are a nobody, yet we respect you. Did this make you think that whatever you do, we will bow? Why are we punished directly yet they were given warnings? How long will you be unfair with us?”

Shi Lang showed no reaction but his blood was boiling, and his aura was condensing after each second. People all could see that his eyes were red, and if someone asked them what they were feeling, they would say, fear.

Amelia, Hayley, and Jenkins stood at the sidelines with their hands tied behind their backs. They wanted to speak but the rules of trial forbade them to. Deputy General Sikar slapped the table and said, “Major Smith, are you forgetting your ranks? How dare you point fingers at the General?”

The scion realized only now that his anger has gotten his best and he directly accused the Fleet General. That too without any evidence. However, soon he gave up the timidity and raised his head. He wanted to challenge Shi Lang and have him apologize to the people.

He was just about to say something when Shi Lang stood up from his chair and unbuttoned his coat. His gaze was set on Major Smith. The young man said, “You want me to answer? Come let us see if you can make me answer.”

The people were surprised to see that the General was readily going forward. They all knew that Shi Lang was strong, however, the people have all caught up with the spiritual cultivation and they were quite confident. They seemed to have forgotten that Shi Lang could use elemental attack skills.

…

Shi Lang and Major Smith stood face to face, and Shi Lang said, “Before you stepped into the ring you acknowledged the fact that this duel can be deadly. I will show you what is deadly.”

Major Smith, filled with his arrogance sneered, and just as Deputy General Sikar said, “Begin.”

Major Smith attacked Shi Lang, he vanished from his spot and appeared behind Shi Lang with a dagger in his hands. He did not hesitate and stabbed the dagger at the nape of the target. At this moment, Shi Lang was wearing a black vest. His vulnerable parts were exposed.

Just when everyone was thinking about how Shi Lang will dodge this attack, the dagger made contact with the skin. The surrounding people gasped, however, Shi Lang showed no expression on his face.

He turned around slowly to look at the shocked Major Smith. The latter was not shocked because Shi Lang did not block it, he was shocked because the attack did not leave any damage, just a white mark, as if a scratch. He felt as if his blade has made contact with a cold piece of iron. When they all were advancing, Shi Lang was not slacking away.

Major Smith suddenly regretted his impulse. While the rest of the people gasped as a scream rang out in the field.
