Earth.
Spring was the season when all things grew. The sunlight that shone through the thin clouds was bright but not dazzling, warm and warm. The golden light was continuous like a brocade, sprinkling between the undulating mountains below, injecting vitality and vitality into the land. After thousands of years of precipitation and a series of geological changes, the land finally became the undulating mountains, because of the arrival of spring, was covered with a layer of new green. From afar, it looked like a green carpet was draped over it.
On this green carpet, there were flowers and plants of various colors, such as goose yellow, light purple, pink, cherry, and so on. Between the flowers and plants, insects and birds chirped, full of vitality.
A rhinoceros beetle flew on the jagged leaves of a fern, a group of ants passed by it, and suddenly a mantis appeared in front of it. The mantis was not interested in the rhinoceros beetle, its target was two green fat insects in the distance. Just as it was about to pounce on the two fat insects, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge shadow covered it. The praying mantis raised its head, its tiny eyes reflecting a huge object.
It was a starship, the body of the ship was moving up and down like a swimming fish, and on both sides of the fin-like wings, each probe was flashing bursts of fluorescent light, it glided gracefully in the sky. The front of the body of the ship spat out a section of a cannon, the muzzle lit up bit by bit. The buzzing sound of energy transmission sounded in the sky, and then a ball of light was spat out from the muzzle. The ball of light fell between a mountain peaks in the distance as if it was weightless, the moment it collided, the light quickly lit up, and the energy storm released from it multiplied exponentially. The intense light flooded the mountain area like a tide, followed by a terrifying shock wave.
Rocks, trees, flowers, and even insects were all lifted up by the shock wave, and then thrown out towards the outer circle of the explosion.
The mantis that was about to catch the green insects was thrown into the air, and then it was crushed in mid-air by the shock wave. As for the rhinoceros beetle, it unexpectedly survived, falling to the ground along with the falling gravel. After a moment, the rhinoceros beetle climbed out of the rubble, and when it looked forward, the originally continuous mountains had disappeared. It was as if an invisible giant shovel had dug a huge and ugly pit in the mountainous area. A mushroom cloud was rising from the pit, and after releasing energy and flames, it turned into a thick black cloud pillar.
In the huge pit that was measured in square kilometers, the starship in the sky slid over like a fish and then slowly landed in the center of the pit that was no different from the ground. After landing, the components that fixed the hull protruded from the front and rear of the starship and on both sides. They tightly grasped the ground and fixed the starship. After landing completely, the fins on both sides of the starship retracted into the body of the starship, and the other armor on the starship began to open and spread around the starship. When the outer armor on the top of the starship was completely opened, one could see that the inside of the starship was also deforming at the same time.
A moment later, a ground base appeared in the mountains. At this moment, multiple gates of the base rose, and many warships, exploration vehicles, transport vehicles, and groups of fully armed Nelm soldiers emerged from within. The battleships and soldiers began to establish air and ground defense lines around the crater, while the mining vehicles moved according to the predetermined coordinates. They would excavate and collect the rich ores in this mountainous area, and then transport them to the base to become the energy source for the operation of this base.
Soon, a busy scene appeared in the giant pit. Apart from vehicles and soldiers coming and going, another batch of engineering vehicles drove out of the base and began to build turrets, bunkers, energy storage wells, factories, and other things around the giant pit. At this time, soldiers of Nelm began to leave the base. After their formation dispersed, they began to hunt down the surrounding life. All of these scenes were seen by the Horned Beetle. It quietly lay on a rock. Several groups of soldiers had already passed by it, but who would care about an insect that was no threat at all?
In the tactical hall of a Federation ground base, a screen was reflecting the scene that the Horned Beetle saw. In the scene, the ground base of the Nelm people was already taking shape. In front of the screen, a colonel stood upright with his hands behind his back and said, "This is the image that our biological robot transmitted back five minutes ago. It's not hard to see from the image that the people of Nelm have already begun to build an advance base." According to our war manual on colonial planets, the invasion of Nelm has undoubtedly reached the second stage. Build an advance base, collect planetary resources, and in turn use them against the planet's natives, that is, us. "
"Colonel Roman, according to your observation, how long will it take for the enemy base to be built?" Mobius's voice sounded in the tactical hall. The Federation President looked much thinner, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle's.
The colonel nodded, "Judging from their progress, a base that can protect itself and operate for a long time will basically take shape in less than 48 hours. Everyone, I think these buildings should be factory facilities, whether it's an arsenal or an ordnance factory. Once they are completed and operational, it means that the people of Nelm will be supplied. This is not good news for us. "
"A base that can run for a long time and replenish the consumption of the frontline is a huge threat to us." Mobius stood up and said to the people behind him in a low voice, "Gentlemen, we must act." Now that Adahua Planet's fleet is trying to help us solve the threat in outer space, we need to solve the crisis on the ground ourselves. We must take action within 48 hours. This time, I hope the Golden Lion can give us its support as always. "
At the end of his words, Mobius landed on a person.
Capullo.
The Berserk Lion was silent. Capullo bit his cigar, and the flickering flames at the end of the cigarette were as unstable as everyone's mood. A moment later, Capullo said in a hoarse voice, "The Planet Destroyer that attacked Nelm last time fell to the ground. My men suffered heavy losses and have yet to recover their vitality. This time, I can only give you a thousand people. "
The tactical hall was in an uproar. Everyone knew that a thousand people were simply perfunctory in such an operation. Moreover, judging from Capullo's tone, he would not send out a general-level combat power. He would probably only send two or three colonels. Someone slapped the table and stood up, "Could it be that only your Golden Lion suffered losses in the last operation? Are there fewer deaths in our Sirius?"
There weren't many in the entire Federation who dared to contradict Capullo like this, and Windsor Bellow was definitely one of them. The female marshal had blown up the Nelm space base in the last operation, and Windsor Bellow had attracted much attention after that battle. Coupled with Capullo's withdrawal from the Federation, Marshal Greed's popularity was unparalleled in the Federation Army. Capullo said calmly, "Marshal Greed, do you want me to remind you?" The Golden Lion no longer belongs to the Federation Army. I think I've done my part as an ally in the last operation. As for how many troops we need to invest in the next operation, I have my own plans. But in the end, it's not up to your Federation to decide how much effort the Golden Lion should put in. "
Windsor Bellow raised her eyebrows and wanted to say something. Mobius raised his hand and shook his head before she sat down. Mobius said in a low voice, "Mr. Capullo is right, but now that we are facing a great enemy, we should work together more sincerely."
Capullo met the president's gaze and smiled, "Alright, then I'll put in another two thousand people and a general. This is my bottom line. I'm sorry, but I still have things to do, so I'll leave first. My men will arrive on time within two hours. Please be assured of this. "
Then he got up and left.
After the door of the Battle Hall closed, Windsor Bellow said coldly, "He's so protective of his wings and unwilling to fight to the death. He must have a plan. Perhaps after the expulsion of the Nelms, allies will become enemies. "
Mobius sighed softly, "That's after the expulsion of the Nelms. As for now, in the face of common interests, even if Capullo doesn't want to do his best, he won't drag us down. However, this number is not enough. We have several fronts to fight at the same time, so it's very difficult to allocate manpower … "
"Then let's make up for the rest." Horn, who had been silent all this time, stood up and smiled, "Our family can provide two thousand soldiers. If necessary, I can go there myself. "
After the battle on the Nelm Star Destroyer, Horn's evaluation in the Federation was extremely high, and even Bescot's reputation rose, with the potential to catch up to the three great families. With Bescot's participation, especially if Horn personally took action, this operation would be a sure thing. Mobius said cheerfully, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Horn."
"No trouble, I also want to go out and walk around. After staying too long, people are a little slow. "
Mobius nodded again and walked to the screen of the Battle Hall. He looked at the base on the screen and said solemnly, "Then the code name for this operation shall be Black Sheep!"
After the meeting, Horn returned to the camp area assigned to Bescot by the Federation. Roddy had just finished physical training with the soldiers. When he heard that Horn had returned, he changed his clothes and went to see him. When he saw Horn in the room, he said, "Father, when are you going to take back the position of Patriarch?"
Horn glared at him and said, "What do you think the Patriarch is? Do you think you can give it back when you say it?"
"But I'm really uncomfortable sitting here. I'd rather you sit back in this position. I still like to fight on the battlefield." Roddy laughed dryly.
Horn shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, my time is over." You are also a member of Bescot, so you should shoulder your responsibilities. You are you, I am me, you don't have to learn from me. You just have to do it with your heart, just like you training with the soldiers. This is something I have never done before. This is very good. It can make the soldiers more loyal to you and the family. "
He paused and said, "Speaking of soldiers, I just promised Mobius to take out our family's army to participate in an operation."
