In the end, the Shadow Star turned into a sea of fire. Regardless of whether it was the Tailun Insect Race or the Chaos Evil Demons, they were all turned into ashes in the flames. Fang Zheng burped, patted his butt, and returned. As for the Shadow Star … he was definitely done for. But he was abandoned anyway, so there was nothing wrong with that.
For Fangzheng, this was nothing, but for the Milky Way Empire, it was a headache. Although the harvest this time was quite bountiful, they also learned that there was such a powerful and terrifying enemy in the Milky Way … If it wasn't for the outbreak of the Tailun Insects, they probably wouldn't have known about it at all!
But fortunately, it wasn't too late to know now.
"Have you eliminated them?"
Desvader's voice was low and uneasy as he came to Fangzheng's side.
"For now? I've indeed eliminated them, but I don't know if there will be another wave. "
Fangzheng shook his head. Previously, when he used the first flame, he gained some understanding of the situation with the Chaos Devils. To put it simply, the space where the Chaos Devils resided was like the gap between two pieces of furniture. It was something that had to exist. Fangzheng's First Flame was equivalent to a disinfection, so it would definitely be clean and tidy for a short period of time. But after a few years, it was not up to Fangzheng to say whether bacteria, dust, and microorganisms would appear again.
After all, this kind of World Gap was troublesome. Didn't you see that the World Gap in Shana's world had been used as a playground by the Disciples of the Red World? Hmm? Should I just do another wave here?
Forget it, let's see how it goes.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng stopped his thoughts and looked at Desvader.
"According to my suggestion, it's better for you to focus your attention on the Tailun Insects for a short period of time. Those Chaos Demons won't come out to cause trouble for at least a short period of time, but no one knows what will happen in the future. And I have to warn you, these guys aren't any easier to deal with than Terrence. "
The reason why Fangzheng was able to get rid of both parties in one go was that he had a premonition and had been waiting for an opportunity. Moreover, both the Tailun Insect Tribe and the Chaos Demons were fighting fiercely at that time. They did not expect that there would be such a powerful enemy sneaking up from the side. That was how Fangzheng managed to get rid of them in one go. If it was a head-on battle, and both sides put on airs, Fangzheng would definitely not be stupid enough to reveal his true form.
"I understand."
Desvader wasn't in a good mood either. Although he didn't know how Fangzheng had destroyed those monsters in the end, he could tell from the videos and information that the Chaos Demons were as terrifying as the Terun Insects. After all, the Milky Way Empire was still at a disadvantage. However, this Chaos Demon was able to fight evenly with the Tailun Insect Race. Just this point alone was frightening enough.
"By the way, Mr. Fangzheng."
Desvader stopped thinking and decided not to think about these headache-inducing things for the time being.
"His Majesty the Emperor has just sent a message. He hopes that Mr. Fangzheng can attend the State Sacrifice Ceremony in five days."
"Ceremony?"
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor intends to announce the establishment of the new state religion and the appearance of a brand new battleship."
"Oh?"
Hearing Desvader's words, Fangzheng suddenly became interested.
"Your new battleship has been built??"
Desvader had already told Fangzheng that the Milky Way Empire wanted to create a new battleship. The current Star Destroyers were completely incomparable to the Tailun Insects. In order to resist these invaders, the Milky Way Empire had to create a brand new fleet that could fight against the Tailun Insects in space.
Fangzheng agreed with this point. He had done research on Star Destroyers and found that although they were powerful, they were indeed not suitable for fighting against the Tailun Insects.
The reason was simple: they were not used for the right purpose.
The purpose of the Empire's Star Destroyers was not to fight in space. Their main task was to burn glass. To put it bluntly, the military strategy of the Milky Way Empire could be heard from the name "Star Destroyer" — it did not matter if you fought with me, but if you were forced into a corner, I would burn your entire family.
There were no ruthless people in the Milky Way Empire who dared to install an engine on their own planet. Facing the Milky Way Empire's "burn your entire family if you can't win" strategy, they really had no way to deal with it. Therefore, the combat power of Star Destroyers was more about quality than quantity. This was very simple. After all, the Milky Way Empire was the dominant force in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Resistance Army did not have many fleets to fight against the Milky Way Empire. Therefore, the Milky Way Empire only needed to maintain a certain number of fleets while maintaining deterrence.
But this method would not work in front of the Tailun Insects.
Even if a person was carrying a heavy machine gun with unlimited bullets, a hundred fearless axemen would be able to hack him to death. This was the predicament faced by Star Destroyers. Their cannons were still powerful, but there were too few of them. They could do nothing against the Terran Zergs, who were not afraid of death. That was why Desvader had told Fangzheng that they had to build a brand new battleship to fight against the Zergs. Now, it seemed that they had done it.
"Yes, it's finally built …."
"Can I see it?"
"It wouldn't be possible if it was someone else, but it's you, Mr. Fangzheng …. Of course, it's not a problem."
Fangzheng originally wondered why Desvader would show him such a military secret so easily. But after seeing the photos sent by Desvader, he immediately understood.
This was a complete copy of his Paladin-class spaceship!
The new battleship of the Galactic Empire had completely abandoned the triangular shape of the original sandwich. Instead, it was more like a rectangular spaceship like the Paladin. Just like the Paladin, the cannons were placed on the side. Perhaps it was because the Galactic Empire had set their sights on them after their performance in the previous battle?
But … .it did not matter.
Compared to the simple and atmospheric sci-fi style of the Azure Battleship, the battleship in front of him felt more luxurious. Although the appearance of the battleship was similar to that of the Paladin-class, the other decorations were completely different. The new battleship of the Galactic Empire looked more like a royal battleship of the Middle Ages. It was full of complex carvings and patterns. The buildings on the deck were also as magnificent as churches.
On both sides of the hull of the battleship were twelve cannons. They looked like medieval cannons, but it was obvious that they were not real cannons. Instead, they were the main artillery weapon called the Ion Cannon. It was a new product of the Imperial Navy's research institute. It could be fired by compressing the huge energy of the ion explosion into photons. It had a long range and could be used to launch the first wave of long-range attacks against the Taron Zerg fleet.
Not only that, but the Galactic Empire also went one step further. They also placed several weapon array systems called Light Spears on the deck. The core principle was also the product of integrating the laser cannons on the Planet Destroyer. It was mainly used to deal with the defensive barriers and armor of the opponent. It had considerable destructive power.
According to Desvader's introduction, the firing principle of this battleship was to charge at the front. The twelve cannons on both sides of the hull were specially used to deal with the Taron Zerg battleships that dared to charge at them. In addition, they did not forget to install torpedoes and the laser cannons of the Planet Destroyer on the lower half of the battleship.
The main laser cannons of the Planet Destroyer were installed under the bow of the battleship, and the torpedoes were installed directly on the front of the ship.
Although the latter's firing speed was indeed a little slow, its power was, after all, real. Even the Taron Zerg would not be able to block a direct shot from the ram.
Simply put, when the new battleship faced the Taron Zerg fleet, it would first launch a round of long-range bombardment, then accelerate forward. After rushing into the firing range, it would immediately fire torpedoes and laser cannons from the bow of the ship to open a path. If it brushed past, it would use the ram to charge at it.
Other than that, most of the remaining parts were filled with anti-aircraft cannons to deal with the enemy's torpedoes and the Zerg army that would charge at them.
It was a good idea, but … looking at the brand-new Empire battleship that looked like a Paladin-class battleship with some kind of module installed, Fangzheng still felt a little complicated.
How should he put it? It was like looking at someone who had undergone plastic surgery to look like his own daughter.
"What do you think? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"Ah, hmm … It's good. It's good that you have your own ideas."
Faced with Desvader's question, Fangzheng coughed and turned off the terminal. At the same time, he silently decided that he must call Rodney and the others over to comfort them when he returned.
Otherwise, they might have opened fire the moment they saw the battleship. The self-esteem of the mental models was very high. Seeing this kind of specious thing, who knew if they would explode in anger.
After that, Fangzheng participated in the Galactic Empire's National Sacrifice Ceremony.
At the ceremony, Palpatine appeared to be in high spirits. He abandoned his original low-key appearance and wore a pure white and gold robe that symbolized nobility and magnificence. At the ceremony, Palpatine announced several things. The first was that the Galactic Empire was being invaded by races from beyond the Milky Way Galaxy, and that the Galactic Empire would surround the Empire's territory and citizens at all costs. Then, he immediately went with the flow and displayed the "Retribution" class battleship.
Apart from that, Palpatine also announced the last and most important thing. From today onwards, the Milky Way Empire would establish a new national religion. From today onwards, this national religion would be the only legal religion in the entire Milky Way Empire, and all other religions would be regarded as heretics. Palpatine himself, as the Emperor of the Milky Way Empire and the first Pope, from today onwards, he would be called — — Emperor!
