Even the armies from other star sectors have arrived and joined the battle.
The Federation's military can respond to an alarm and mobilize troops to support a planet in just a few days.
It only takes a few minutes to even realize what's happening.
The military will immediately mobilize and use faster-than-light travel speed to reach the planet in need of support.
Normally, reinforcements from other planets, especially those from surrounding star sectors, would arrive within a few hours.
So, with this thought in mind, and with the idea of seeing what level this civilization's starships were, Zhou Qing remained inactive.
This wait lasted for a year—
A year has passed, and he still hasn't seen any reinforcements.
The only reinforcements he saw were a small gunboat that flew down from space about six months ago, from which four powered armor soldiers emerged.
These people are only slightly stronger than the enhanced individuals in our underground town.
No matter how Zhou Qing looked at it, he didn't think that these mere four soldiers in power armor could really improve the threats facing the human empire on a single planet.
Therefore, he patiently waited for the human empire's fleet to arrive.
However, things clearly didn't go as he expected. No matter how long he waited, he didn't see any reinforcements from the human empire arrive.
Ironically, he watched helplessly as the army of the human empire was eventually driven into the only large hive city.
When this scene appeared in Zhou Qing's eyes, his mind went blank for a moment. He really couldn't understand why this was happening.
How absurd is it that humanity, a space race, was forced into its last large town by a creature wielding large blades and some random weapons on the ground?
This scene shocked Zhou Qing, leaving him speechless at the state of this civilization.
At this time, the last hive of the human empire already had a population of 180 billion.
This is equivalent to almost the entire population of this planet moving there.
Seeing this outrageous scene, Zhou Qing could no longer hold back, so on this day he opened the gates of his underground city and stepped out.
He was going to find out what was going on and what this thing was.
The gate to the underground city slowly opened, and Zhou Qing walked out. Then the gate closed again.
With his superior physical abilities and powerful spiritual energy, Zhou Qing has no need for military protection.
Rather than fighting his way through the road, he decided to personally lead the way.
He had only walked a little over a hundred kilometers out of the city and out of the Mushroom Wasteland's reach when he saw a large number of green-skinned creatures gathered around the Mushroom Wasteland.
The number of green-skinned soldiers was so great that it seemed like mountains were being filled with seas, but Zhou Qing was not surprised at all by this scene.
This is all normal.
As the population in the city has grown, the green production capacity of the Mushroom Wasteland has gradually become insufficient to meet the food consumption needs of the underground town's population.
Therefore, in order to continue to meet the food consumption, Zhou Qing would occasionally send out troops to carry out a large-scale cleanup centered on the Mushroom Wasteland.
Because of the nature of the Greenskins race, they gather wherever there is a battle.
Therefore, the number of greenskins around the Mushroom Wasteland is increasing.
However, perhaps because the number of Greenskins captured and eliminated this year has been so large, they have all spontaneously and tacitly agreed to wait outside the wasteland.
They were very well-behaved and just waited outside.
Once Zhou Qing's mechanical legion comes out to capture them, they will unleash a massive Waaagh.
However, each time, Zhou Qing's mechanical army would capture most of the greenskins and turn them into food, then drive away the remaining greenskins, hoping they would gather again in the future.
The two sides have a very good understanding, which has lasted for eight months now.
Green Skin fulfills Zhou Qing's food needs, while Zhou Qing fulfills their desire to drive Waaagh.
Despite being mercilessly crushed every time, the greens still find it endlessly enjoyable.
This is a happy race.
This is Zhou Qing's clearest assessment of the Greenskins: a race that finds pleasure in war.
After taking another look at the green-skinned creatures covering the mountains and plains, Zhou Qing used his spiritual power to wrap himself up, flew into the sky, and then flew over the green-skinned creatures.
The goal was clear: the hive he had previously lived in, which was also the largest hive on the planet and housed their planetary governor.
He's going to the planetary governor to ask why their reinforcements haven't arrived yet!
A year has passed. If this were the case in the Federation of Humanities, he would have been shot a thousand or two thousand times over.
And it seems that the world was already at war with the Greenskins before he arrived.
Zhou Qing had no idea how long they had been fighting.
Zhou Qing couldn't understand why there were still no reinforcements.
Chapter 24 Preparing to Visit the Governor of This Planet
The restrictions on this planet's hive city have become much stricter since Zhou Qing's last visit. Relying on his powerful spiritual energy, Zhou Qing gradually made his way to the bottom of this hive city.
Instead of going directly to the planetary governor, he went to the local gang first.
Although these guys could have died countless times in Zhou Qing's judgment, and should even have been sentenced to death, they did provide Zhou Qing with some help later on.
Many of the people in Zhou Qing's area are people gathered by these gangs. Most of them are not necessarily evil people; they are just forced into this situation by life.
Many of the orphans they brought there expressed their respect and affection for these gangsters.
Zhou Qing, who has been here for over a year, no longer views these gangs the same way he used to. After all, he has come to accept just how outrageous this messed-up world really is.
The gang had long since made peace with Zhou Qing in the face of his weapon offensive.
It's fair to say that these gangs have long regarded Zhou Qing as their boss, and they owe their survival to him.
The Greenskins are no joke. At the same time, the human empire rulers of the capital have never taken the people who descended to the nest seriously. So for these gangs, they can only survive in the cracks.
Every day, large numbers of Greenskins attack the nest. If it weren't for the Gauss rifles and a small number of Light Spear rifles that Zhou Qing had given them before, their nest would have been overwhelmed by Greenskins long ago.
Instead of the Greenskins only being able to fight them in the streets as they are now.
Besides these weapons, their greatest reliance also came from the few leaders who were protected by mechanical soldiers sent by Zhou Qing.
Despite the combat prowess displayed by those advanced mechanical soldiers, the Greenskins were unable to breach the nest.
These gangs had witnessed it firsthand: an orc leader rushed to the side of his own leader.
Everyone thought their leader was doomed.
The mechanical soldiers protecting their leader only extended one hand.
With a single slap, he turned the orc into a bloody pulp.
When such formidable combat power was displayed before these people, they were immediately revered as gods.
This is practically a demigod!
Perhaps this is where Astartes' story ends.
Under the influence of various factors, as well as the powerful combat performance displayed by Zhou Qing's weapons and the soldiers surrounding their leader.
These gangs have collectively regarded Zhou Qing as their leader.
The same applies to the former gang leaders.
When Zhou Qing appeared at the lower lair, he no longer concealed himself, but instead allowed the gang's soldiers to see him.
When Zhou Qing's figure appeared on the dimly lit streets of Xiachao, the once noisy black market instantly fell silent.
The gangsters who were trading substandard synthetic foods, the scavengers huddled in the corner, and even the thugs who were fighting all stopped what they were doing.
"It's...it's that sir!" A gang leader with a scar on his face suddenly knelt down.
As if a domino effect had been triggered, people on the entire street knelt down like a tidal wave.
Their foreheads were pressed against the ground, and they even breathed cautiously.
Before the newcomers could react, the seasoned veterans next to them forcefully pressed their heads to the ground.
Zhou Qing frowned. Even though he had been a federal citizen for a year, he still disliked this excessive awe.
There's no time to correct it now; we can do it later.
His psychic senses swept across the entire area, and after confirming that no Greenskins were lurking, he headed straight for the deepest refuge in the lower hive.
This shelter was built voluntarily by the people who descended from the nest, and it sheltered most of the ordinary children and women who had descended from the nest.
Children and women are the continuation of the future, but as for the elderly, there are none of them.
In Xiachao, it's impossible to live to the age of an old person. They usually die in their thirties or forties, and very few live past forty.
At the entrance to the council chamber, twelve gang leaders clad in patchwork armor were already kneeling in a row. Behind them stood three hundred elite warriors, each equipped with a Gauss rifle provided by Zhou Qing.
These weapons were polished to a shine, clearly having received the utmost care from their owner.
"My lord, you're finally back!" The eldest gang leader, Kras Hansen, looked up, his cloudy eyes gleaming with ecstasy. "The Greenskins' offensive has been getting fiercer lately, and we..."
Zhou Qing raised his hand to interrupt his report: "I know everything. You can stay here. I will bring you another batch of weapons and equipment when I come back."
In addition, I will send you another batch of soldiers to fight alongside you and hold your ground.
Zhou Qing expressed his approval and appreciation for their actions in choosing to fight to the death despite the natural disaster, and for sending their children to underground shelters.
Zhou Qing felt that they could still be saved and that another round of support could be given to them, since they had taken the initiative to bring the children to the shelter for protection.
To put it bluntly, these people are all unfortunate souls.
"I just came to check on your situation and confirm your status. I'll arrange for someone to deliver whatever you need. Now I'm leaving. Stay here and guard this place."
Zhou Qing glanced at them, then left after saying that. His purpose was definitely not these gangsters; he was there to find the ruler of this Nest City world, the group of people he had captured.
This time, he wouldn't act rashly like before and have all these guys arrested. He created a new identity for himself.
A year has passed since he arrived here, and for Zhou Qing, acquiring a noble status in that year was incredibly easy.
He replaced a judge in the courtroom, and he was already a well-known judge on the planet.
He replaced one person's identity, and the judge was placed in the care of the underground city.
Ever since that guy had his genes modified back, he's been shouting about some kind of imperial miracle.
