No one knew when Shadow Star was discovered, but it had now become a religious holy land. Gothic church buildings could be seen one after another between the towering mountains. The whole city looked like a huge monastery or graveyard.
Because it had been abandoned.
When Desvader and Fangzheng arrived, they only saw a dead city covered in snow, and some practitioners who looked like walking corpses. They wore grey robes and had lifeless eyes. They looked like the living dead. In the face of the arrival of the Imperial Army, they were not frightened, did not resist, and did not react at all. Even when the imperial soldiers chased them out, these people did not respond at all. They looked like a group of lifeless puppets.
"Set up the defense immediately!"
Desvader gave the order coldly, and the soldiers immediately took action. This time, the Milky Way Empire had put in a lot of effort. All kinds of cutting-edge weapons had been sent over to determine the best way to deal with these damned invaders.
The city was chosen because it was built on the top of a mountain, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Secondly, the city followed the design rules of an old medieval city fortress. The city was surrounded by walls made of ten-thousand-year-old ice and rocks. The city was surrounded by three layers of walls that were tens of meters high. At least from a visual point of view, it was obviously more reassuring.
Only Fangzheng did not feel very good about it.
"Do you have any historical records of this planet?"
Asked Fangzheng in a low voice as he stood on the balcony, looking at the city in front of him. Desvader shook his head.
"No, the Imperial Database only has some basic information about this planet … Is there a problem?"
In Desvader's opinion, this was just an ordinary planet. Of course, the empire's database also recorded that there were many ancient ruins there. However, to Desvader, those things that were left millions of years ago had no meaning or value at all. At least compared to those things, the current threat was definitely more important.
"Hmm … I don't feel good."
"Feel good?"
"Yes."
Fangzheng nodded. He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the city in front of him. In fact, from the moment he stepped off the spaceship and set foot on the land of this planet, Fangzheng had already felt a faint gloomy aura in the biting cold wind. Well, this aura … was somewhat familiar to him.
"Don't you think the city's defenses look too strong?"
"Weren't all the buildings in the past like this?"
Fangzheng chuckled at Desvader's reply.
"Lord Vidar, do you know what kind of building has the defensive capabilities of a fortress?"
"… …?"
"That's prison."
Fangzheng turned around and looked at the Black Warriors behind him.
"All in all, there's nothing wrong with being careful. This planet gives me a very bad feeling."
"I understand. I'll strengthen the security."
Desvader nodded without saying anything. Fangzheng just shrugged his shoulders. The civilization of this galaxy was still following the materialistic path. To be honest, he also wondered if there was something wrong with his senses. But as Fangzheng said, there's nothing wrong with being careful. So far, Fangzheng had not really sensed the existence of any evil forces, but … how should he put it?
All in all, he had a bad feeling.
"By the way, what's that?"
Fangzheng shook his head and threw the thought aside. He then pointed down curiously. On the platform below, a group of Empire soldiers were patrolling. What made Fangzheng curious was that one of the soldiers was carrying a flag that was raised high. This made Fangzheng very curious. In fact, he also found that almost every team had someone carrying such a flag ….
"We've now learned that before the Tailun Zergs reach their destination, their teleportation will cause chaos in the subspace, causing all transmission signals to fail. Under such circumstances, we can't communicate with them in normal ways. For this reason, our scholars have looked through the ancient books and finally decided to use this kind of flag language and horn to command the attack. "
"Oh …."
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded. This was also the case during medieval wars. Now it seemed that the Galactic Empire was planning to go the old-fashioned route.
"What about space battles? Fleets can't use flag language, right? "
"Use light reflection to transmit signals."
"Okay, there's a way."
Fang Zheng gave a thumbs up to Desvader's reply. He had to admit that the Milky Way Empire was truly impressive. They had only crossed paths with the Tailun Insect Race once, and they had immediately thought of a solution. Of course, these solutions were only for emergencies, and might not necessarily be useful. It was also because of this that they had chosen to carry out this defensive battle on the Shadow Planet.
But … …
"Why do they have to draw a skull on the flag?"
Fangzheng could not help but ask the question in his heart. At the same time, he looked at Desvader suspiciously. Could it be that you and Palpatine still have chuunibyou tendencies? It's fine if it's Luke, but the two of you are already past that age. You're already so old, it's not right to play heavy metal like a chuunibyou.
Even if you want to play Pirates of the Caribbean, you have to go to space, don't you?
"This is His Majesty's wish."
"Huh?"
"The skull on this flag is a human skull. His Majesty hopes to use this flag to show the majesty of the Empire, to let everyone know that the Empire was, is, and will be ruled by humans. Humans are the core and everything of the Empire. "
"Oh, I see."
Fangzheng nodded and did not say much. Human supremacy was indeed necessary. The main military forces of the Galactic Empire came from the human race. Of course, it was not that the other races did not have armies, but because of the strong rule of the Galactic Empire, the armies of these races were basically self-defense forces in their own autonomous planets and galaxies. Obviously, Palpatine did not intend to play the game of "everyone puts aside their disputes and joins hands to fight against the enemy" like in Hollywood movies. He was protecting the territory of the Galactic Empire, and he was using human armies. Therefore, it was necessary for humans to occupy the ruling position of the Galactic Empire.
As for the other races … Let's see how the situation goes.
If this was an ordinary war, Palpatine would probably be more than happy to send those alien races to their deaths. But he was facing the Tarun Zerg. From the previous reports, it could be seen that this race could absorb all the living matter on a planet and turn it into their own combat power.
This was also why the Tarun Zerg fleet had expanded several times, even though Fangzheng's probes did not detect a large number of enemy invaders at the gap.
Under such circumstances, sending people to their deaths would be aiding the enemy.
In fact, Fangzheng had already received information from Desvader that Palpatine had ordered the Death Stars to move to the front lines. However, the purpose of the Death Stars was not to block the enemy, but to monitor the planets that might be attacked by the Tarun Zerg. Once those planets were attacked by the Tarun Zerg and could not withstand the attack, the Death Stars would directly open fire and destroy them.
I won't even leave a scrap for you!
As expected of Palpatine. He was ruthless, but only such a person could stop the attack of the Tarun Zerg.
However, Fangzheng was not worried about the Tarun Zerg, because he had discovered the weakness of the Tarun Zerg after obtaining information from the mental network. They could only absorb organic matter.
Although the Tarun Zerg were very strong in absorbing organic matter and could even compress the air itself, they could only absorb organic matter. As for the Zerg under Fangzheng, as long as it was energy, there was nothing they could not eat. Strictly speaking, even if he ate soil, he would still be able to get some energy.
The reason they did not eat it was because the conversion efficiency was too low.
Both sides had the ability to devour and infect to evolve, so their speed was also very fast. The Tarun Zerg had the will of the nest, while the Zerg had the master of the Zerg. However, the Zergs are so cold that they eat everything … Hahaha, are you afraid?
Fangzheng was already thinking of how to lead the Zerg swarm into the Void and completely devour the Tailun Zergs … As long as he could devour this wave of Tailun Zergs, his Zerg swarm would be invincible, wahahaha …
"Reporting!!"
Just as Fangzheng was letting his imagination run wild, he saw a soldier suddenly run over.
"Abnormal distortion detected. The communication signal is being interfered with. It's completely out of order!"
"Switch to the backup channel and see if there's anything that can be used. Blow the horn and prepare for battle."
"Yes …!"
The Milky Way Empire was also trying to solve this problem in order to fight against the Tailun Insect Race's subspace interference. But unfortunately, looking at the flustered and sweaty faces of the soldiers in the command center, it was obvious that their solution was not successful — after all, subspace interference was not something that anyone could deal with.
Not to mention, the Tarun Zerg were considered experienced in this aspect.
"Whoosh —!!"
Soon, a shrill horn sounded from the loudspeakers. Upon hearing the horn, the soldiers of the Empire hurriedly lined up on the city wall. They held their weapons and looked at the dark sky in front of them.
For a moment, it was as if even the howling cold wind had stopped.
Then, a shadow descended.
Countless spores fell from the sky and smashed down on the shadow stars. They were like huge hailstones falling from the clouds and smashing into the ground.
"Open fire!!!"
Following the order, the anti-aircraft cannons that had been set up immediately roared and opened fire. For a moment, the sky was filled with sparks.
At the same time, the battle officially began.
