Pontin was a crude man without any scheming thoughts. Although he was now secretly in command of the entire base, his respect for Sheyan was no less than in the past.
At this time, he was indeed facing a difficult problem. When he saw Sheyan, he immediately felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He first asked the short-skirted secretary beside him to serve him coffee, then he impatiently asked her to get out. He then asked Sheyan to sit down and said with a sad face, "I'm sorry.
"Sir! There's something that's been bothering me lately. I don't know what to do. "
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Go ahead."
Pontin sighed.
"Our current base is still far from being able to discover and mine Pandora crystals, but in terms of scale, it's about to exceed the relevant limits."
Sheyan raised his eyebrows.
"Tell me more about it."
It turned out that due to the severe war situation of the human race (they had to join forces with the Protoss to deal with the Zerg), the human race had implemented the Pandora Protection Act among the people.
In other words, even if it was a civilian, as long as they could afford Pandora crystals, they could hire most of the military's troops and military weapons to fight in the universe, and the General Staff Department would absolutely not restrict or take a cut of the profits.
Pontin was one of the beneficiaries. Although he was an active soldier, the troops he had built up so far were not actually built with the help of the General Staff. Instead, he used the abundant Pandora crystals in his possession and the privilege granted by the Pandora Protection Act to purchase soldiers directly from the one-way teleportation device.
For example, 50 units of Pandora Crystals could be used to purchase a Machine Gunner, and this Machine Gunner would be a brainwashed death convict who would firmly obey orders. A brand new siege tank would only require 150 units of Pandora Crystals and 100 units of Rare Gas Ore.
If the base was built according to the Pandora Protection Act, Pontin would become the leader of the base because of his identity as a hero. The units he purchased would be completely under his command. However, these units were firstly very expensive, and secondly, because they lacked the command of excellent officers, they could only display 80% of their combat effectiveness.
The problem Pontin faced was that he had been told that the military force he had now exceeded the limit, both in terms of the size of his base and the number of his troops.
For example, if he wanted to own the advanced Waglet air-to-air combat ships, atomic bombs, and space cruisers, he would have to pass the review and evaluation of the General Staff. Pontin had been clearly informed that the General Staff would send an investigation team over due to his current violation of the rules. Everything he had obtained so far might be confiscated by the State.
The difference between the current situation and being taken over by the military was that if the General Staff Headquarters felt that this place was of strategic importance, a large number of troops and officers would be sent here. All authority would be under the control of the General Staff Headquarters. Of course, Pontin would receive enough wealth and honour to go back home and enjoy his retirement if he wanted to. The collected Pandora crystals would be directly turned over to the national treasury, while the troops would be transferred by the war zone, so they did not have to spend any money.
Of course, Sheyan did not want Pontin, who had always obeyed him, to be stripped of his authority.
"When will the investigation team arrive?"
Pontin hung his head dejectedly.
"It's clear that I have to give them an answer within three hours. Otherwise, they'll send an investigation team over in three hours using a one-way teleportation device. I have a feeling that the General Staff Headquarters is very interested in this place, so the investigation team is likely to be members who will directly take over my authority. This means that I'm about to lose all my authority.
"I didn't expect that I would attract the attention and investigation of the General Staff Headquarters just because I have more than 30 Wraiths!" Pontin slammed his desk in exasperation. "This doesn't make any sense. I know of an interstellar farm owner who has formed a force of more than a hundred Wraiths and is still doing well."
Sheyan explained.
"This means that the General Staff Headquarters has already focused their attention on this star field, so they will pay attention to even the slightest changes …."
Pontin pulled at his hair in frustration.
"But I didn't know about that."
Sheyan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Maybe something unexpected will happen to the investigation team?"
"Damn it, they secretly sent some troops over before the General Staff gave the order. With the presence of these military police troops, everything I do will be under their surveillance. These mercenaries won't obey orders to attack the army," Pontin said gloomily. "That's right. That's right. That's right.
Therefore, Sheyan's first suggestion was to stop the expansion, but Pontin said that it would be useless because the General Staff Headquarters had already paid attention to this place. They were like a dog that had smelled the fragrance of a bone. No matter how tightly you hid the bone in your hand, the dog would always come over and sniff it.
Sheyan pondered for a while. He asked for some information and conducted an investigation. This showed the benefits of the powerful reconnaissance ability of the humans. First, they used radar to clear the way, then they used the Wraiths, which could move at high speed and stealth, to take aerial photographs. They had a very clear understanding of the battle between the Protoss and the Zerg.
After a long time, Sheyan said to Pontin.
"If that's the case, then the General Staff Headquarters will have to deal with a mess, a mess that they won't be willing to take over. Naturally, they won't be interested."
Pontin was stunned.
"What kind of mess?"
Sheyan pondered for a moment.
"Humans have an advantage, and that is, buildings can fly in the air. You're currently mainly using air forces, so you're very mobile …."
"I've observed for a while. Ever since the Mutalisks suffered heavy losses, the Zerg simply gave up on their aerial forces and focused mainly on ground battles and airdrops, especially after the Mutalisks suffered heavy losses and the lack of rare gas ores. We can kill them with a borrowed knife …. "

Two hours later.
A Queen suddenly found the Queen of Blades, who was recovering in the nutrient solution in the incubation pool.
The Queen put her tentacle on the Queen's forehead.
The Queen of Blades immediately gained a new perspective. This perspective was from the perspective of a human Wraith pilot, who was observing the outside world. The reason for this was that the unlucky pilot had been infected by a parasite that the Queen had secretly ejected.
The parasite would not cause any harm to the host. In fact, it even had the benefit of strengthening the host's resistance. Moreover, the infection was very secretive and would not be easily detected. Its only general purpose was to allow the host to share everything he saw with the Queen.
Then, the Queen of Blades saw a medium-sized human base. More importantly, she also discovered that there were two Pandora ore veins that had not been fully exploited yet!! It must be noted that the Protoss and the Zerg were about to run out of Pandora veins. These two seemingly barren veins could very well decide the outcome of the war!
Therefore, the Queen of Blades immediately assessed the defensive strength of the human base. She had decided to personally lead a small number of elites to raze the human base to the ground. This way, the Protoss would not be able to detect the mobilization of too many troops and launch an attack. This way, they would be able to achieve a decisive victory without anyone noticing.
The Queen of Blades did not consider that this was a trap, because if this was a trap, then the human base would suffer heavy losses, or even be razed to the ground.
To put it bluntly, if there were no pressure from the Zerg, the humans and the Protoss would still be at war. The human commander would not do such a thing as sacrificing himself for the sake of "God" unless he had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Three hours later, the Queen of Blades led a group of valiant subordinates into the human base. The human base showed no fighting spirit at all. They only put up a little resistance (the ones who resisted were the military police), then lifted the base and fled in a transport aircraft. What the Queen of Blades wanted was the two Pandora veins and a quick end to the battle, so she did not pursue them too much. But at that moment, a group of late reinforcements poured out of the human base that seemed to have been abandoned.
These guys, who seemed to be in a bit of a panic, even killed 17 or 18 of the worker bees that the Queen of Blades had sent to occupy the veins. The furious Queen ignored the fact that her MP was depleted and directly used her signature skill, the Red Psionic Storm. These guys, who were actually members of the investigation team of the General Staff, were all turned into charcoal.
***
The Queen of Blades did not expect that the scene of her display of power had been recorded and sent to Sheyan.
Sheyan was currently outside Uraki's Protoss base. After he received the recording information, he rushed into the Protoss base and asked to see Uraki. Although Uraki did not like Sheyan, he did not hesitate to launch an attack on the Zerg base in front of him at such a good opportunity!
Sheyan had to admit that the Queen of Blades was indeed a very awesome legendary leader. Even in such a situation, she still had a backup plan. Although the troops she left behind were defeated by the Protoss attack, they were still able to hold their ground! It was more than enough to hold the Protoss back until the Queen of Blades came back!!
However, at this moment, a human army that suddenly entered the battlefield became the last straw that broke the camel's back. This human army was mostly made up of pure air force. Thirty Wraiths and six Waglet Air-to-Air Combat Ships crushed the pitiful Zerg air force as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. Then, they wiped out all the Overlords on the battlefield! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
