Because the Tendo Temple had withstood the attacks of these monsters, the Galactic Empire did not lose too badly. At least the gateway to the Northern Limit Galaxy had been defended. But for Desvader, he definitely couldn't just guard the place like that. Moreover, the people guarding the place were from other forces, not the Milky Way Empire's army. They didn't have the obligation to risk their lives with him every day.
So he still had to rely on himself!
The Galactic Empire itself was a military system, and now it was fully operational.
The first thing to do was to modify the weapons and armor.
Luke also expressed his opinions.
"We need stronger and stronger armor. The current armor is just plastic. It can't stop the attacks of those monsters at all!"
"We can't just use guns. They are very fast and very good at close combat. We need to strengthen the soldiers' close-combat ability!"
Desvader also received some suggestions from Fangzheng.
"It's best to avoid fighting on the ground. Try to intercept them in space as much as possible. As you can see, that's what we're doing. As long as we ensure that most of the enemy's combat power is annihilated in space, then the rest is nothing to be afraid of. But try to avoid fighting on the ground as much as possible. Hmm … I'll leave the specifics to you. "
The senior researchers of the entire Galactic Empire were summoned to watch the video and then studied Luke's and Fangzheng's suggestions — well, they really did come up with something.
First was the armor.
The current armor naturally had to be completely abandoned. In the past, this kind of armor could be used to fight against the alien races and resistance forces of the Galactic Empire, but it was not useful against these invading monsters.
But the Galactic Empire could even build a Death Star. Was this even a problem?
Not long after, they came up with a finished product — power armor!
The power armor was huge and looked to be as big as two or three people. It was equipped with a portable power device that was enough to lift a truck. The main purpose of equipping power armor was to complement the melee weapons that Luke mentioned. After all, lightsabers could only be used by Force users. Ordinary people would not be able to use them.
So when it was mass-produced for the army, lightsabers could not be used. But it was not that they had no other way. They directly created — — chainswords!
The rapidly spinning Chainsword was powerful enough to cut through any monster's outer shell. With the Chainsword's help, the gun was also modified. Using Luke's suggestion, the researchers created a large hand cannon. Its explosive power was also quite powerful.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to carry these two main pieces of equipment at all. Without the power armor, they could only eat dust.
When Desvader appeared in front of Fangzheng in high spirits with a brand new legion, it had been less than a month since the previous attack.
"The manufacturing power of the Milky Way Empire is really strong."
Looking at the Empire soldiers lining up to get off the transport plane, Fangzheng could not help but sigh. The Storm Soldiers had completely abandoned their original white paper armor. Instead, they were equipped with power armor that looked like the Marines in Starcraft. Most of them were holding huge guns in their hands. A series of ammunition chains were directly connected from the gun to the magazine at the back — — this was normal. In the face of the tide-like attack of those monsters, it was suicide to change the magazine.
These soldiers were wearing power armor, holding a hand cannon in one hand, and a chainsword in the other. They walked off the transport plane in an orderly manner. The sense of oppression alone was enough to move people.
"We're tracking those d * mn cultists."
Desvader stood next to Fangzheng with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "We found some clues.
"We found some clues. I didn't expect them to have infiltrated the Galactic Empire so early … I've already sent Luke to track these monsters."
"Oh? Is that okay? "
"Of course not. In fact, Luke volunteered."
There was a hint of a smile in Desvader's voice.
"Guess what? We found out that this damned cult was actually related to the Resistance Army. We can even say that they were the ones who planned the rebellion against the Empire …. Luke felt responsible for this, so I let him do it," said Sheyan with a wry smile.
"I see … Well, it's not surprising."
Fangzheng nodded. It would have been fine if he had not noticed it before, but now it seemed that the Resistance Army did have some kind of connection with these invaders, or at least they were being used by them … But as Desvader said, it didn't matter anymore.
"Mr. Fangzheng."
Desvader hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice.
"We want to launch a counterattack."
"Counterattack?"
"Yes, we must test our equipment in actual combat. I think it's best to let the Empire take the initiative to ensure that those d * mn monsters are eliminated. We need to launch a counterattack … But we don't have enough space warfare capabilities at the moment …. "
Desvader was speechless. The surprise attack of the monster fleet was completely different from what they had imagined. Normal fleet battles involved bombarding each other, but the fleet of these monsters was like an ancient naval battle. They directly rushed in and tore apart the enemy. The poor Milky Way Empire had never encountered a fleet battle like this since its founding. No matter how strong their defenses or how fierce their artillery fire was, it was useless. That was why Desvader's fleet was almost destroyed.
After all, although the Empire's Planet Destroyer Battleships were huge and looked mighty, they had become the best food for those monsters. In the previous battle, the Empire's Planet Destroyer Battleships were torn apart like sandwiches by those monster battleships. It could be said that they were as miserable as they could be.
The Milky Way Empire needed to modify their battleships, so they naturally could not participate in the battle in a short period of time. Desvader also needed to determine the combat effectiveness and lethality of the new Storm Troopers against the monsters as soon as possible, so he could only ask the Tendo Temple for help.
In addition, a series of harsh reforms had begun within the Empire. In the past, the Empire did not care much about religions. After all, there were hundreds of alien races within the Milky Way Empire, each with its own unique doctrine. The Empire could not manage all of them.
But now, after receiving the report from Desvader, Palpatine quickly discovered the danger, so he waved his hand and launched a round of religious reform throughout the Empire.
Palpatine wasn't doing this just for the safety of the Empire itself. It was also inseparable from his attempt to spread his Origin Force ideology. After all, the Sith were shameful, and the Jedi were self-righteous, so neither of them had many followers. But Palpatine was different. After receiving the report from Desvader, Palpatine keenly sensed that this was an opportunity.
So, in the name of cracking down on cults, he began to clean up the religious beliefs of the entire Milky Way Empire. At the same time, he created a new national religion, the core content of which was the truth of the unified Force that Palpatine had comprehended. At the same time, Palpatine announced that all other religious beliefs other than the national religion were all heresy. They would harm the foundation of the Empire and would all be abolished. Those who resisted would be seen as enemies of the Empire and would be completely annihilated.
Fangzheng neither supported nor opposed this. After all, it was the internal affairs of other countries. As long as it did not cause a large-scale humanitarian disaster, then Fangzheng would not care.
Not to mention, it was now a time of war. A unified religion was more suitable to boost morale.
"Also, Mr. Fangzheng, I have discussed with His Majesty the Emperor. In order to determine the name of the enemy, we have decided to officially name them the Zerg …"
"…"
“？？？”
"Why not change the name?"
"Why?"
"You see, just calling them Zerg doesn't sound good."
Faced with Desvader's question, Fangzheng spread his hands.
"Aren't there races in the Milky Way Empire that look like bugs? If you call them Zerg, it would be a little too inclusive. Why don't we change the name? "
"So, what do you mean …?"
"These monsters first appeared on the Tailun planet, right? Let's call them the Tailun Zerg."
"… Okay."
Desvader did not care too much. Instead, he felt that this would allow him to more accurately determine the enemy's name, so he nodded in agreement. Fangzheng let out a sigh of relief and silently wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Only my Zerg race is the Zerg race. You're only fit to be a branch! Don't steal my name!
This was the only thing that Fangzheng would never let go of.
"I agree with your proposal in principle, but which planet do you plan to choose as the battlefield?"
"We've already made our choice."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Desvader made a gesture. Soon, a soldier walked over and opened a star map.
"We've decided to use the Shadow Star as the main battlefield. According to the information we've gathered, these monsters have suffered heavy losses and are in urgent need of replenishment. They're heading towards the Shadow Star. This planet has been abandoned for a long time and is currently only used as a stronghold for a sect. We can go to the Shadow Star in advance and take over the defense facilities here. Then, we can have a head-on confrontation with them."
"Although I don't think a head-on confrontation is a good idea … Well, since you've decided, I have nothing else to say."
After listening to Desvader's plan, Fangzheng shrugged. He knew very well that this battle was not to protect the planet, but to test the power of the empire's new equipment and weapons through actual combat with the Tailun Zerg.
Of course, this was a cruel decision for the soldiers of the empire, but … this was not something that Fangzheng needed to worry about.
"What do you need me to do?"
"I hope you can be responsible for providing support in space. Although this is just an experiment, we also hope that as many soldiers as possible can survive."
"No problem, I agree to your request."
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded.
"I'll personally lead the team to the Shadow Star."
