c309 The Lord of the First Legion died in battle (1) (Please subscribe
From the day it was established, the Galactic Empire has always won victories, conquering the two camps, unifying Xuanyuan Star, conquering the Sith Empire, and destroying the Sith Knights. Later, under the leadership and arrangements of the God-Emperor, the expedition against the Star Alliance, the Kra parasite, etc., the Imperial Expeditionary Force basically suffered no defeats.
They have always been victorious, filling the new generation of the empire with pride, believing that humans are the noblest race in the galaxy and even the universe.
However, there are also some sane scholars who point out that the reason why the Empire has never failed is because there are no powerful enemies in the galaxy.
What the expeditionary force encountered were basically the branches left over after the collapse of human civilization, or the alien races that had made a comeback.
The former’s technology has declined, and there are many internal contradictions. The latter was defeated by the Human Alliance. The database has a detailed introduction and research on its strengths and weaknesses. The Empire can use the Human Alliance’s plan and transform it to deal with these enemies.
Humanity must be prepared to fight a complete civilization with productivity that rivals or even exceeds the current productivity of the Galactic Empire.
This kind of civilization is different from those scattered branches of human beings, and also different from those alien races that have been defeated. They are stronger and smarter. Human beings cannot use powerful military and productivity to crush them, and can only fight head-on wars of attrition with each other.
However, no one can listen to the words of these scholars. This kind of pessimistic thinking is not liked by people in the current empire.
People all have a sense of self-confidence, believing that the empire will be invincible. Taking over the Milky Way, taking over the local galaxy group, and even taking over the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster will not be a big problem.
Unifying the galaxy is only a matter of time. In just ten or twenty years, the galaxy will be unified, and the empire will crush all enemies.
More optimistic scholars believe that the biggest crisis for the Galactic Empire only exists in the early stage of unifying Xuanyuan and fighting against the Sith Empire. When the Empire gets the Blackstone Sector, conquers those planets, and gains the loyalty of those lost civilizations that come from afar. , after gaining the productivity of several star sectors, the empire has a crushing advantage over all forces in the entire galaxy. Even if it opens multiple battlefields, it can still suppress the enemy steadily.
Even in the face of external forces in the galaxy, humans still have an absolute advantage.
With the blessing of this kind of thinking, when they first faced the insect swarm, the First Expeditionary Force was full of confidence, believing that the enemy would be defeated by them just like the Iron Blood and Krat parasites.
However, the universe finally showed its cruelty to mankind, making the optimists of the First Expeditionary Force and even the entire empire realize how many terrible races and ancient evil existences were hidden in this universe, and also made them realize the insignificance of mankind.
The Swarm does not belong to the galaxy, they have never been defeated by the Human Alliance, and there is not much information about them. The only thing that is known at present is that they captured the Tyranid Star Sector and transformed it into their own lair.
The First Expeditionary Force defeated the worm swarm in the Malantai system and paid some price, but it was within the range that the First Expeditionary Army could bear. However, the swarm’s counterattack came much faster than they imagined.
After research by technical scholars such as Morton, the First Expeditionary Force discovered something they did not want to admit, that is, the insect swarm is a being that spans the starry sky, but can still think as one.
The void is vast, and every galaxy is far away from each other. Ordinary communication methods require a waste of time beyond imagination. However, the insect swarm has a special communication method that allows them to form a whole even if they are far apart.
The insect swarm in the Malantai galaxy is part of the whole, an insignificant tentacle. When they are attacked, the insect swarm in more distant areas will sense it.
They came across the stars and came with the will of revenge to defeat humans, gain control of the galaxy, and turn it into their own lair.
The Shadow of the Warp was the first wave of attacks launched by the Swarm. It cut off the First Expeditionary Force from the Empire and isolated it. By the time the Expeditionary Force realized something was wrong, it was too late and they were trapped. Malantai Galaxy.
The shadow shrouded everything, making warp navigation and communication extremely difficult.
Frequent nightmares plagued the men and women of the expeditionary force, causing strong uneasiness in their hearts. They were worried about the upcoming challenges and prayed that the God Emperor could continue to protect them in the dark void.
Supreme Commander-in-Chief Wang Ben was walking in a corridor of heroes. This road was very majestic, with sculptures of fallen heroes on both sides. Their faces were dim and bright under the light of the fire, watching the fearless people walking by their feet. warrior.
At the end of one side of the Heroes Corridor is the general command room of the First Legion, and on the other side is the bridge. The training ground, fighting cages, and rest areas for the soldiers are also connected along the way. You can see the void windows embedded in the On one side of the corridor, the engine light of the busy shuttles and void gunships was reflected in the several-meter-thick but still transparent nanomolecular glass.
Artificial objects like glass have been with mankind for a long time. As the times progress, the technology for making them has become more and more advanced.
Compared with their ancestors, the glass that can be used in the void is just like the current firepower of the Galactic Empire compared with the humans of the primitive tribes. They are completely different. The whole thing is made up of refined nanomolecules, which can withstand high-intensity bombardment and the difference in atmospheric pressure between the inside and outside of the ship. On this basis, it can also remain transparent, allowing people to clearly see everything happening outside.
Wang Ben occasionally looked outside, and the empty scene was reflected in his determined eyes.
At this time, the entire void was busy. Gunboats and shuttles shuttled between the battle barges, their wakes crossing each other. Everyone was preparing for the upcoming war. The scale of the enemy was beyond imagination, making everyone fearful. and uneasiness, everyone must be prepared to sacrifice.
Judging from the intelligence currently surveyed, the possibility of them winning this battle is very slim. Fortunately, the request for help has been sent out.
Wang Ben finally arrived at the bridge, where military commanders were gathered and busy, and noisy sounds continued to come from various mechanical stations.
First company commander Liu Xia was standing in front of a tactical projection stage. When Wang Mang walked over, he bowed humbly to show respect.
“How is the situation?” Wang Ben asked.
“We have gathered our troops and evacuated some women and children who have no fighting ability.” Liu Xia’s eyes showed sadness, “But judging from the situation currently surveyed by the psychics, the scale of the enemy is beyond imagination.”
“We have said this many times, there is no need to repeat it to me.” Wang Ben looked at the projection, which showed dense red dots approaching the Malantai galaxy. “Didn’t they use the subspace to navigate?”
“No.” Morton, who is the technical director, walked out. “They seem to have some means to sail between reality and illusion. They are also traveling at super-light speed, and the speed is also very fast. It only takes a few days, or It is a journey of several light years that can be completed in a few months. They have opened up one such channel after another, gathering towards the Malantai galaxy, and the first batch of insect fleets is expected to arrive in three days.”
Wang Ben’s expression changed slightly, but he still remained calm and fearless, “What about communications? Can effective communications be established with the empire?”
The thin Karen walked up. The former necromancer has now become a very important figure in the empire.
He saluted Wang Ben before answering the other person’s question, “My men are singing in the subspace day and night, but there is no news. The darkness is approaching, and the only echo is the greedy and hungry malice.”
“It looks like we are the only ones here to fight this battle.” Wang Ben’s face was illuminated by the projected light.
“The God-Emperor will not sit back and watch his loyal people fall into desperate plight.” Archbishop Abshe said on the side, “His glory will surely protect us in defeating powerful enemies and ushering in the light.”
“This is not a matter of His protection. There are countless threats in the galaxy. He cannot take care of every aspect. As our most loyal subordinates, we must be prepared to sacrifice instead of just hoping that He will save us. .” Wang Ben’s tone was very calm, “The God Emperor is our guide and the light of mankind, but He is not omnipotent. He has his own problems to solve.”
“These words are somewhat offensive and blasphemous.” Abshe said righteously, “The power of the God Emperor is supreme. He protects us and will never let us get into trouble.”
“I have served Him much longer than you.” Wang Ben said unceremoniously, “Normally, I am too lazy to talk to you about this. Now, I must correct you. The First Expeditionary Force must be prepared to make sacrifices. Be prepared to block the enemy in the Malantai system and prevent them from entering other areas of the empire.”
I don’t know how to end it! ! No serious ending has been written.
