Due to copying the ruling template of the Old Empire, the Melovans were not the most populous in the Melovar world, but the various slave races. In fact, these people made up almost seventy to eighty percent of the total population of the Melovar Empire, and were widely distributed on every planet in the thirteen Melovar universes that had conditions for colonization, including the most desolate and remote worlds.
Some of these slave races — or rather, Melovar's unique servant army — were the original inhabitants of the local planets, or even the original rulers of the local universes, while the rest could not even find their original home among the thirteen universes. The Melovans brought these slave races around as they pleased, just like military goods, and every time they occupied a new territory, they would keep these slave races there as cheap labor for construction. As such, generations of reproduction continued, the history and civilization of the race were completely destroyed, and they could not even be passed down by word of mouth, so much so that the slave races themselves could hardly tell what their original home looked like. These slave races once enjoyed freedom and even ruled the universe. When the Melovar invaders came to their home, the native races rose up to resist, but they were all defeated in the end. The Melovans destroyed some of the civilizations that resisted the most fiercely and were difficult to change, brainwashing the remaining races as cheap tools and 'planetary by-products' of their own Empire.
The slave races were 'at the bottom of every class' in the power pyramid of the Melovar Empire. They were responsible for basic production and construction, handing over all personal assets, providing resources and population. They were basic coolies, cannon fodder, commodities, and even used as currency. The Melovans tried to make their Empire as glorious as the Xiling Empire, but the technology in their hands could not recreate the miracles they had witnessed, and so they used the slave races that could not resist to make up for their lack of productivity. The slave races were distributed almost everywhere in the Melovar Empire, covering everything — yes, the slave races could also choose to do business in this cruel Melovar Empire, and some even formed huge consortiums, but that did not change the caste and status of their slaves. Everything they gained belonged to their Melovar masters, and no matter what achievements these slave races achieved, they were still the 'lowest' in their class, and that was the so-called 'bottom of every class'.
With such a wide distribution, they supported almost all the productivity of the Melovar Empire, and without exception, they were ruled by the Melovans using violence. Once these slave races all went out of control, how much impact would they have on the dark Empire that Barrian had built?
Just imagining these things was enough to make one's blood boil. I reckon that I could probably eat half a bowl of rice just by imagining it!
Getting these slave races to rebel together and deal a fatal blow to the Melovar Empire was the plan that Sandora and I had from the beginning. However, we did not tell Turazzo so much. What we revealed to Turazzo was that we hoped to use the power of the Resonance Crystal to withdraw the cannon fodder fleet of the slave races from the battlefield, so as to reduce the number of enemies that the Imperial Army had to face. As for planning something like a cross-world rebellion, it should have been Turazzo's own idea. Although this old man had been chased out of the ruling group by Barrian, he was still one of the two leaders of the Melovans, so he was still quite capable. Furthermore, he had been leading the rebellion for more than a thousand years. I reckon that the current him was even more adept at organizing a civil rebellion than managing a country. He should be a genius who was an expert at fighting civil wars, but an amateur at fighting foreign wars …
"She is preparing a huge project. Once it is completed, the brainwashing effect on all the slave races will be temporarily reduced to almost zero," I looked at Turazzo's projection. "Yes, all of them, regardless of which world they are in, regardless of how many people they have — Sandora's large-scale technique can directly use the race as a unit. However, I also want to confirm something: Do you really have the confidence to organize such a large-scale activity? "
I knew Sandora's strength. The spiritual power of a Soul Snatcher was rather terrifying. In the case of an ordinary soldier, Sandora already had the power to carry out a declaration of racial conquest, not to mention that she was about to transform into her Glory form now. Furthermore, those slave races had been brainwashed and enslaved by the Melovans for a long period of time. Their own spiritual resistance had already deteriorated, and the most serious part of the brainwashing was to the extent that they could not even produce their own emotions. This kind of target was the most vulnerable to Sandora …
"Could it be …" Turazzo seemed to have thought of something, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. "Could it be Glory …"
"It seems that you have a deep understanding of the Empire." I shrugged. It was not surprising that Turazzo could guess this. After all, he was once the leader of the spawn race in the old Empire. "I know that you are in contact with the other slave races' rebel organizations. Is their instigation enough to cause such a huge movement?"
"In a situation where their own kind have been brainwashed, the rebel organizations can only struggle to hold on, and they are in danger of being controlled at any time." Turazzo smiled confidently. "But once the brainwashing effect wears off, the people will immediately be motivated by anger. Barrian's biggest mistake is that he has too much trust in his own brainwashing technology. Or should I say, he doesn't trust the loyalty of intelligent beings from the bottom of their hearts. His rule over the slave race is completely built on the foundation of drugs and spiritual suppression. Once these two things lose their effect, the slaves who have never been treated well will remember the daily suffering and their abnormal psychological state. At this time, with a little encouragement from the rebel organizations, and the Conservatives that I lead will stir up some trouble, I am confident that more than half of Barrian's industrial planets will stop working."
"Very well, then I will leave this matter to you, but you have to be careful." I saw Seves walking over from the command center, so I waved my hand at Turazzo. "The Conservatives and the rebel organizations are the only two cards you have on hand. Their value is your value, so make good use of them. If you go overboard, I don't think Sandora will be interested in helping you. Now, I seem to have something to do here. End of communication."
Turazzo nodded, and the communication ended. Seves was already in front of me, looking like he had something to report.
"What's wrong? You have to report to me personally? " I raised my hand in greeting. Hmm, this might not be in line with military etiquette, but I really can't remember these rules. Pandora was much more formal. The little shortie performed a textbook military salute with her adjutant, and then continued to hug my arm, biting on the lollipop that she treasured like a treasure.
"Your Majesty, we have detected traces of large-scale gravitational distortion at the center of the galaxy. The Melovans may be using the supermassive area at the center of the galaxy as a cover to secretly gather their troops," the adjutant with long black hair said with a business-like expression, her methodical manner was exactly the same as Pandora's. "Also … there is a communication from the capital world, from Matriarch Chen Qian, hoping that you will reply when you are free. It seems to be urgent."
"Sis?" I had just reacted from the suspicious movements of the Melovans when I heard an unexpected piece of news. I was instantly surprised and quickly connected to my elder sister's mental link. "Sis? You are looking for me? Why don't you tell me directly? "
"I am worried that you are at war, and I don't want to delay things." My elder sister's usual voice sounded in my mind unhurriedly. It sounded like nothing was wrong, and I instantly heaved a sigh of relief. I heard her continue, "There is nothing serious on my side, but … I might have encountered a little trouble … Now that Icetis has helped to temporarily resolve it, I still need to consult you …"
Hearing my elder sister, who had always been mature and steady, speak to me hesitantly, I was instantly confused. "Sis, what happened? Why did you get that female pervert's help? "
"… Icetis is actually a very nice person, don't talk about her like that," my elder sister immediately lectured me, and then brought up the matter at hand. "Let me ask you, before Mai Diwen hatched, did you do anything specific?"
"Something specific?" I was stunned. "Did that stupid bird cause trouble again? Before she hatched … I didn't do anything. I just remember that at that time, Anveena would hang on a tree at 2: 30 pm every day, watching the crows hatch their eggs and learning how to lay eggs. At that time, I would just be at home in a daze, basking in the sun. You also know that I am usually quite lazy. "
"As expected, you don't even know the principle yourself." My elder sister seemed to sigh. "It wasn't the little crow who caused trouble. Now, she brings the little two-square-meter crow to the yard to eat wild grass every day. Her life is fulfilling. The one who caused the problem is me … Ah Jun, I might have to become a god … No, I might have already become a god."
Two seconds later, an exclamation echoed through almost half of General City. "What?!"
"Do you want to die?!" Miss Lin was so frightened by my shout that she almost fell into the lava. Thus, she flew over with an angry roar. I quickly raised my hand to grab her calf and pulled her over my shoulder. I patted her on the back. "My sister is a god!"
Lin Xue, "?"
I quickly coughed twice. "Cough cough, my sister has become a god!"
Lin Xue, "What?!"
Her movement was even louder than mine …
"Sister, what is going on?" I pushed away all distracting thoughts and focused on this sudden situation. My sister's sudden deification was just as unexpected as the little crow's birth. I didn't know what to do. I was sure that my sister wasn't lying. She would never make such a joke. Thus, this matter had most likely been tested and confirmed multiple times. "Are you like the silly bird? Did you make a lot of divine equipment?"
One of the things that the little crow did after becoming a god was to go to Europe and dig out a large pile of scrap metal from an ancient battlefield. In the end, that pile of scrap metal turned into a + 11 epic equipment. This was the first direct evidence that the little crow had obtained the power of a god. Thus, the first thing I thought of was that the same thing happened to my sister. Could it be that she accidentally left her little mirror on the street, and now, only the northern hemisphere is left on Earth?
"I don't have any divine equipment, but the moment I speak, it can cause all kinds of natural phenomena." My sister's voice sounded innocent. "It is most likely a terrible situation. Just like how the little crow couldn't control his own power when he became a god, I seem to be unable to control it as well. I have already caused a few accidents. Fortunately, there aren't any serious losses … Now, Icetis is temporarily using her power to help me suppress it. But you should know … In terms of rank, the deified people around you are basically on the same rank as the four main gods. This is a difference in the nature of power. There is no way to make up for it with strength. Right now, Icetis is a little irritable … "
Before my sister could finish, she was interrupted by a sudden voice. As expected, it was Sister Bing's flustered and exasperated voice. "When I drink cold water, my teeth get stuck. When I walk, I lose my shoes. When I sneeze, my jaw drops. When I buy a bottle of soda, it is made in 1982! I can accept that, but right now, I have already reached the point where I can watch 76 different channels on TV and watch Pleasant Goat! Is this the life of a human? Is this the life of a god? Right now, I am glad that my goddess doesn't have her period! Otherwise, her period would definitely come twice a month and last for half a month! Right now, I am giving you a month to settle the mess with the rebel army. Hurry up and return to the capital, do you hear me?! "
I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead. What happened today was really full of twists and turns. My sister's power went out of control … Damn it, this was definitely one of the biggest crises I had ever seen in my life! Fortunately, I had Icetis to help me resist it. Although that female pervert seemed to be in a miserable state, my sister's power was temporarily under control. I thought for a moment and gave a tactful suggestion. "Why don't you let my sister come over to my side? I can send Silvers back and let her take charge of the defense … "
"Don't, your sister is a clown now. She is even more sensitive than when she is in her confinement period. She might even tear down the World Gate if she randomly moves," Icetis replied weakly. "I really owe it to you and your brother. Leave this to me. The reason why I am sending you this message is to see if you know the cause of Deification so that you can prescribe the right medicine to slow down the process. Since you don't know either … Just fight the war outside. You don't have to worry about the family."
I smacked my lips. I suddenly felt that Icetis's words were a little weird … Speaking of which, does this female pervert still remember that she was actually an official ambassador sent by the Protoss of the Star Domain?
Alright, I reckon that she probably doesn't remember because I had forgotten about it …
Next, I confirmed the details of the problem. However, the situation on my sister's side seemed to be very complicated and Sister Bing couldn't explain it clearly. Everyone knew about the nature of my sister's power. She could curse and increase the probability and intensity of all kinds of catastrophic events. She could even create misfortune while ignoring the reality of the world. "Misfortune" was an abnormally broad concept and there was almost no way to limit its scope. Thus, after my sister's power went out of control, it was completely indescribable. I could only say that she almost messed up the entire world. Of course, such an event didn't happen in the end. All the misfortune was now pressing on Icetis. Sister Bing's complaints were overwhelming and it sounded like she was full of resentment. However, I more or less understood that female pervert. She seemed to be a fierce but warm-hearted person. She was even more so towards the people that she acknowledged (or perhaps I should call it loyalty?). Usually, she had a good relationship with my sister. At this moment, she must be feeling both pain and happiness. Since the female pervert thought that she could suppress it, then I would believe in her strength.
After ending the communication with the City of Shadows, I shook my head and focused on the matter at hand. The most important thing now was to eliminate the Merovar's resistance.
"Let's talk about the movements of the Silver Heart's enemy. Based on your assessment, is it worthwhile to take the initiative to attack that place now?" I looked into Seves' bright eyes. She was an excellent adjutant. When she reported to her superior, she would only list out all the facts without mixing in any of her own opinions so as to prevent misleading the superior's judgment. However, I wasn't an excellent officer — my judgment in this aspect was definitely not as far-reaching as Seves'.
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the gravitational anomaly of the Silver Heart, the Merovars have gathered a large number of troops there. They know that there is still a large gap between their regular army and the Imperial Army. If they form a scattered defense line, they will soon be defeated by us one by one, just like these peripheral nodes. Thus, Barrian has most likely decided to gather their forces to resist to the death. They may take the initiative to attack because the Silver Heart's enemy is gathering very quickly. Under such circumstances, we should think of a way to seize the initiative."
"Then mobilize the fleet and enter the center of the galaxy." I nodded. "However, I am certain that it is definitely not the Barrian's army … A smart person wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket. Get all the strongholds to continue working hard. Don't underestimate the enemy just because they are a former slave army. I hope to see the wolf pack pushing the battlefield to the enemy's industrial planet when the fleet returns. "
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Seves saluted and turned around to leave. However, he still left a few words behind after he turned his head. "That … General, after you finish this lollipop, can you take a look at the tactical map?"
I: "…"
Pandora: "…"
Pandora was a person who didn't care about anything else as long as she could fight on the frontlines. This general was quite famous in the old Empire. It was said that only when she was tied to Seves would she be able to reach the level of a general in terms of intellect and strength, just like how she could only be considered an adult if she was tied to Visca. However, I didn't expect that such a hardworking and good-tempered older sister like Seves would say such words filled with resentment. 'Pandora, how long has it been since you bothered about your own matters?'
Because the General City had already been expanded, and it was not suitable for it to charge on the frontlines as a temporary main base, the flagship of the fleet was the Third Army's flagship. The Imperial Army that was growing stronger by the day was no longer just the Empire General, which was the flagship of the Third Army. The flagship of the Third Army was a huge spaceship modified from an Eternal grade foundation. Tawil had installed an experimental differential defense system and a miniaturized command module of the Empire General on this spaceship. At the same time, at the expense of firepower, the starship's defense and various emergency escape capabilities were greatly enhanced. It could survive to the end in extreme battlefields, and the efficiency of the command link was only slightly lower than the Empire General. I believed that it was enough to serve as the flagship in the case that the Empire General was lacking.
We gathered troops from several other theatres of war. Hundreds of Eternal-class motherships and tens of thousands of escort ships from the Milky Way and three extragalactic systems moved towards the center of the Milky Way at the same time, and converged on the way. A mighty torrent of destruction pierced into the heart of the galaxy, where the Mellowan army was already waiting in formation.
