Chapter 408: Advanced Infantry
Although the initial battle was a success, the overall situation is not optimistic.
The two swarms of insects have already passed the first buffer zone and are heading towards the second buffer zone.
After this battle, there is some good news and some bad news.
The biggest good news is that the Zerg has begun to gather. Except for the administrative planet in the area where the Zerg is passing through, the other administrative planets of the empire are temporarily out of danger.
The bad news is that if the Empire wants to stop these two large swarms of insects, it must show a decisive momentum in the next battle.
The empire is also actively making adjustments.
Under the mobilization of the Imperial Guard System, the Empire's defense forces have gathered in the direction of the Zerg attack, the battlefield for sniping the Zerg has been selected, and the space near the battlefield has also been blocked.
The Empire used their most advanced technology - the Pan-Planetary Gravitational Barrier, to build a 'wall' for the Imperial Star Circle, effectively preventing the bugs from making large-scale jumps within the Imperial Star Circle.
In addition, the administrative star of the Imperial Star Circle has entered minefield mode, all routes have been suspended, and the planetary defense system has been activated around the clock.
Fortunately, the network was not disconnected.
Information about the first battle also circulated within the empire. The highly anticipated imperial hero successfully killed a sixth-level pseudo-queen, which was also publicized as major news, effectively reducing the panic of the people.
The Dongfeng had returned to Yang Ming's vicinity, but Yang Ming did not return directly to the Dongfeng.
At this moment, the Dongfeng has also been integrated into Law's command system, that is, Law is operating behind the scenes. The two sides seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, some kind of... tacit understanding that even Boss Yang, the person involved, is a little confused.
In the lounge, Yang Ming was holding his watch, looking at the messages that kept popping up on it, his expression a little dull.
Lawyer: [Based on the information you provided, it seems that the lawyer is hinting at something. ]
Yang Ming glanced at the small window of the rest cabin and quickly typed in some text.
[I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. It seems that the logic specifically states that the current emperor has no authority to control her.]
Lu: [She mentioned the concept of supervisor, not master. There is a difference. As for me, I am not ashamed to say that you are my master, because I am originally a mechanical life form living in the master. But Li said that her supervisor is not the contemporary emperor. Is it possible that she is referring to the Sherman family? ]
[If the Sherman family can handle her, then why would they need to develop Emperor Guard 2.0? Even now, the Sherman family still doesn't know where the reason comes from. ]
Lu: [Well, but we can make a simple summary now.
First, Levi Sherman still exists, but his form of existence is unknown. Judging from the fact that he is constantly breaking free from his constraints, the situation of this founding emperor should be very bad, or this is a trap set by Levi Sherman, intending to fool us.
Second, the contemporary emperor has no way to have a direct impact on Li. There are many possibilities, for example, it is possible that the emperor of a certain generation is not a descendant of Levi, and has lost the genetic inheritance, etc.
I'm just giving an example, boss, don't take it seriously.
Third, she still has some concerns. She used this form to talk to you, the boss, and revealed this information, which shows that she is still not completely independent, or in other words, she still cannot truly cover the sky with one hand in the empire. 】
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows with a smile.
With this little assistant here, do we still need him to use his brain?
Just chop the bugs and that's it.
[Law, do you think that Li's offer of me is to allow me to interact with Levi Sherman?]
Lu: [The probability is very high, Boss, let's wait and see what happens, and be cautious. ]
Yang Ming thought for a moment and asked again: [How are you now? ]
Lu sent two question marks.
Yang Ming added: [I mean, have you ever been expelled or suppressed by reason? ]
Lu: [I was not expelled, but I was unable to conduct network operations within the empire. She was always keeping a close eye on me.]
There was a pause of a few seconds before Lu responded, followed by another string of text messages.
Lawyer: [Boss, you must be careful and don't be fooled by reason. We know each other. If it is for you, I am willing to lie to the three teachers. We must beware of Levi Sherman, the last candidate. He is the only real threat to you, boss.]
Law: [The insect infestation suffered by Luofeng is basically controllable. We will keep casualties to a minimum so that Luofeng can preserve its strength. Many small countries near Luofeng Alliance are suffering from insect infestation. We can take advantage of the opportunity before the insect tide retreats to attack these areas. This will establish a more stable subordinate relationship and the public will have little backlash. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Danger and opportunity often coexist.]
Lu: [There is another point that needs to be noted. When the Empire dealt with the sixth-level pseudo-queen, it used a new type of exotic substance bomb. ]
Yang Ming wondered, "What is that?"
Lu sent a short popular science passage: [Exotic matter refers to a special case of quark matter. It is a fluid of up quarks, down quarks, and strange quarks. The conditions for its birth are relatively harsh, but when exotic matter is produced, it will guide the surrounding contacted matter to assimilate with exotic matter with a more stable subatomic structure. It is generally born in a higher nuclear density environment, such as the core area of a higher mass neutron star.]
Yang Ming leaned back.
【Just briefly describe the effect. 】
Law: [The Empire's exotic matter bomb is an extension of the hypermagnetic energy bomb. It will assimilate some matter in a very short time and then release powerful energy. The Empire used three exotic matter bombs to defeat a false queen.]
Yang Ming nodded: [Anyway, I just need to be careful with this thing. ]
Lu: [Yes, boss. This type of weapon is specially used by the Empire to deal with the Zerg. For dealing with human fleets, ion beams that trigger more effective.]
[How is the hunting operation going? 】
Lu sent an emoticon: [^_^ Everything is going well, Miss Hera is in a relatively stable condition, but boss, I noticed that the Zerg seemed to be secretly sending reinforcements in your direction. ]
Yang Ming smiled calmly.
After the battle with the fake queen, he became much more confident.
Fighting with insects is endless fun.
He looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour before the military meeting. Yang Ming thought about it and decided to return to the Dongfeng.
Yang Ming still wanted Po Su to appear on camera and announced loudly that she was now his thug.
…
The first star of the Free United States, in the dock of the spaceport.
In a large merchant ship ready to set sail for escape at any time, Pioneer No. 4 was lying on the snow-white thighs of two Guell sisters, holding the game handle, wearing virtual glasses, and pressing his fingers as fast as a phantom.
Soon, cheers were heard outside the cabin.
Pioneer No. 4 took off his glasses and smiled calmly.
Although he couldn't rush towards the Zerg swarm directly with a lightsaber more than ten meters long like the big brother White Ghost;
But he could use his network of connections to get a set of remote-controlled mechas used by the military of the United States of Freedom, and then fight together with the mecha group.
With his talent and ability, even if he can't become an ace mecha operator, he can at least get the title of elite.
Even though four mechas were broken in just one afternoon.
He threw the glasses and the handle aside, couldn't help yawning, frowned and asked: "How many people died?"
These two beauties have slender bodies and slightly odd looks, but generally meet the aesthetic standards of normal people. Their main purpose is to provide intimate companionship, but you cannot rely on them for such serious matters.
A butler in a tuxedo stepped forward and reported:
"Currently, eleven border administrative stars of our Free United States have been hit by an insect plague, and 2.7 billion people have been slaughtered.
"However, the Zerg has now begun to gather its forces and will soon collide head-on with our army. The number of civilian casualties should not be too high."
"It's only been a short time, and there are so many?"
Pioneer No. 4 frowned tightly: "How is my big brother White Phantom doing? Any battle reports?"
"Yes, your elder brother just killed a sixth- level pseudo-queen."
"Killed him yourself?"
"Yes, according to intelligence from various sources, he attacked the fake queen by himself and successfully helped the Imperial Fleet resolve the crisis."
Pioneer No. 4 laughed dumbly: "Forget it, there is no way to compare with this kind of inhuman creature... There is no need for him to compare."
The housekeeper smiled and said worriedly:
“This is actually a bit abnormal.
“The Sherman Empire is an evil hegemonic country. How could their emperor and the Sherman family elite who control the country tolerate an outsider gaining such great prestige in the empire?
"Now, the White Ghost's influence has reached a level that can affect the fate of the empire.
“What’s even more terrifying is that White Ghost has extremely high prestige among the lower-level officers, ordinary and reformed soldiers in the empire.
"According to normal logic, the empire should have been unable to accommodate him long ago."
The fourth Forerunner looked thoughtful, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "The Empire may think that the White Ghost dare not betray them."
"What's there to be afraid of?" The housekeeper expressed surprise.
"Just like me," Forerunner No. 4 sighed, "You see me looking so glorious, but in reality, I am just a dog of those old guys, obeying their orders and then biting their enemy parties. Although I have also made a lot of efforts, such as cannibalizing the descendants of those old bastards through various means, but now, I am also passive."
The butler murmured, "If this is your mission, then your elder brother could overthrow the empire and establish a dictatorship, or dismember the empire and establish his own kingdom. Wouldn't that be a better way to take care of the family members who will arrive in the Milky Way in the future?"
"Now that you put it that way, you are right."
Forerunner No. 4 clicked his tongue:
"Forget it, don't think about this problem. Although he is my elder brother, I can't help him for no reason. There is also a certain competition between me and him. Let's see, the suspense of this scene is the greatest on the Empire side."
"Well, you should take some rest."
The butler nodded his head, then turned and walked towards the secret door in the corner.
Pioneer No. 4 stretched, leaned in the arms of the two Guel girls, and showed an intoxicated smile.
Can fighting and killing be called life?
This is what he calls life.
…
Sherman Empire, the highest-level combat meeting of the Imperial Military.
The meeting format is still virtual projection.
The three supreme commanders sat in the main seats, and behind two long tables sat more than thirty imperial generals, including Yang Ming.
"…This is the summary meeting of the first battle."
Lieutenant General Thomas threw away the virtual speech in front of him and said seriously:
"In this battle, we have explored the bottom line of the Zerg. The combat capability of the sixth-order adult Zerg is not much different from the historical data records of the Empire. The difficulty of the war is generally controllable.
"There was nothing abnormal with the Imperial Guard system. She was controlling a total of 23,000 warships on two lines simultaneously without any mistakes.
"I suggest that the Diwei 2.0 system remain in standby mode. It is sufficient as a supplement."
The generals nodded.
If the Imperial Guard system works properly, their pressure will be greatly reduced.
Lieutenant General Thomas saluted, bowed his head and took a seat.
"Major General Hanton," an old general called out Yang Ming's name, "Did you seem to have some unpleasantness with the Imperial Guard System during this battle?"
Yang Ming clicked his tongue: "I am a little unruly."
All the old people smiled.
Yang Ming said seriously, "The Imperial Guard system didn't have my data before, but it should have it now. She should have seen with her own eyes that I could fight against a sixth-rank pseudo-queen. Next, I hope she can give me the correct transfer order, instead of letting our soldiers sacrifice in vain."
"Major General Hanton," a marshal said slowly, "I understand your concern for the soldiers, but facing the insect swarm, every one of us here is ready to sacrifice our lives for our country, and so are our soldiers. Your remarks are actually a humiliation to them."
"Sorry," Yang Ming said apologetically, "I just wanted to minimize the casualties."
"Well, please follow the instructions of the Imperial Guard System later."
"yes."
Yang Ming simply agreed.
The meeting started with routine agenda, which was nothing more than asking all generals to be ready to take over the battle at any time. They were the third pillar that had to hold up the battle situation after the Imperial Guard and Imperial Guard 2.0 were unable to work normally.
Among those present, only Yang Ming knew how stable the existence of a mechanical thinking entity was.
When the meeting was coming to an end, Yang Ming took the initiative to raise his hand.
"What's wrong, Major General Hanton?"
"I think it's time to introduce my assistant to everyone."
Yang Ming said seriously:
“First of all, I must publicly apologize to the Empire. The Valkyrie that the Empire has been looking for has actually been on my ship the whole time.
“My previous strength continued to improve, in large part due to her selfless dedication to me.
"Now, I can completely suppress her and make her my fighting partner."
As he spoke, Yang Ming made a gesture and the projection equipment immediately adjusted its angle.
A slim figure appeared behind Yang Ming, her features gradually became fuller, her features became more complete, her long hair slowly fell down, and her soft and lovely face seemed to say 'Keep away from strangers'.
The generals looked at each other.
"Let's get to know each other formally."
Yang Ming smiled and said:
“This is my fighting partner, the ancient god life form Valkyrie Posa. She is also the only normal result of the ancient god project team of the Faya civilization.
“And I am an extension of her genes, evolving step by step through the life levels, and finally becoming an ancient god life form on par with her.
"We two are under the orders of Faya to help the empire survive the current Second Disaster, and we will exert our full strength in this disaster. At the same time, the Queen is absolutely vigilant against us. She will attack us first to ensure that we will not pose a threat to her."
The generals blinked or pondered.
This matter has nothing to do with their area of responsibility.
They all started out as battleship commanders.
What is Faya, what is the Ancient God Project Team...
The three supreme commanders nodded, and the old man in the middle asked, "Major General Hanton, you want to report this matter to the top leaders of the empire through us, right?"
"Yes," Yang Ming said, "Posu and I are both, uh, high-level infantrymen. This is the evaluation given to us by the Imperial Guard system."
"Okay," the three supreme commanders smiled kindly, "We will report this news to our superiors. It is really great news that the empire has an additional powerful force."
"Po Su, go back first," Yang Ming said gently.
Po Suo standing by bowed her head to Yang Ming, giving Boss Yang enough face, and then turned and walked away.
"Um," Vice Admiral Thomas asked quietly, "you used her genes to modify it?"
"You can say that," Yang Ming nodded.
Lieutenant General Thomas frowned and stared at Yang Ming: "So, in a way, she is also your biological mother?"
Yang Ming: …
If you can't chat, don't argue!
Yang Ming thought that these generals would ask how to explain to the public the atrocities that Posa had previously committed within the empire, but unexpectedly , the generals did not consider these issues at all.
The empire has no concept of human rights or not.
After turning off the projector, before Yang Ming had time to stand up, he heard suppressed laughter coming from the side.
He glared at Po Sa, who immediately held back her laughter and looked at Yang Ming with eyes full of loving care.
"Baby is good?"
"I!"
Yang Ming pounced forward, his graceful figure floating backwards, leaving behind a series of laughter in the corridor of Dongfeng.
Compared to the past, she has changed a lot.
