Early morning.
A soft and gentle electronically synthesized sound came from a distant place and gradually seeped into every inch of my nerves, waking me up bit by bit without being abrupt. It wasn't music, but a sound that was instantaneously adjusted according to the sleeper's brain waves. It used a weak mental state to allow the sleeper to wake up naturally and comfortably. In my hazy vision, the simulated sunlight gradually lit up the room, using just the right speed to allow the sleeper to adapt to the surrounding light before opening their eyes. The oxygen-rich environment and a light breeze also began to blow. This was a perfect morning, a bunch of perfect high-tech to the point of giving you the most comfortable wake up.
Before my eyes even opened, I had already woken up. Then, as if I had practiced this countless times, I agilely dodged to the left.
"Plop!!!"
After a loud sound, the huge black suitcase had already smashed into the place where I had just been lying.
The routine of getting up every morning, the murderous wake-up call of the mercurial lamp -- this had happened more than once, since this fellow had proudly announced that he would do me the favour of wakening me every morning for free.
Fortunately, I had adjusted the room's clock two minutes ahead of time according to Mercury Lamp's biological clock. In the first few days, I had almost been traumatized by this nasty doll that didn't know how to control her own weight. Meow, at first, I was still looking forward to being personally woken up by Mercury Lamp to give me a good morning bite every morning …
"Dang dang, dang dang!" I forcefully knocked on the unmoving black suitcase a few times, and the latter slowly opened up a small gap. A pair of bright eyes peered out from the gap. A few seconds later, the suitcase's lid was pushed open from the inside. Mercury Lamp had one hand on the lid and the other was rubbing her eyes. She even let out a small yawn, looking as if she had just woken up with low blood pressure. She cutely muttered: "Tsk, this idiot with well-developed limbs dodged again."
It's okay, I will think of a way to filter out the sound, leaving only the image.
The lamp at the head of the bed was still quiet, and only by concentrating on listening would one be able to hear the faint sound of breathing. Dingdang was a good child who needed to sleep for at least 10 hours a day, and her biological clock was even more stable than the nerves in the brain. She still had 11 minutes and 29 seconds before she would wake up.
Due to various reasons, the moment Mercury Lamp arrived here, she naturally threw her huge box into my room. Although she no longer needed the original socket to charge her battery, it was not easy to change her old habits. The bed that she was used to sleeping on couldn't be changed at will, so Shallow Shallow's dream of hugging a large sized doll to sleep every night was unfortunately shattered.
"Mainframe, report today's work — choose the parts I can understand."
It was still my daily routine. I tucked the Mercury Lamp into the blanket and wrapped her up. Then, I got up and changed my clothes. I woke up the mainframe of the ship that was on standby and began to deal with official business. Even if I was a layman, it was still good to pretend to be working hard.
"Yes, Sir. Information is being organized — the main information accumulated in the past 12 hours is as follows:
"The chaos within Gusta has escalated once again. The 'Super Large Scale Rebel Army' has been eliminated, but its influence still remains. Currently, the various factions of Gusta are in discord and trust is non-existent. The various races that were forcefully integrated by the power of the Church have begun to oppose each other after the Pope's Star fell into a state of paralysis. The entire Church Country is currently divided. The small and medium-sized factions at the border of Gusta are gathering their troops and began to invade the colonial planets nine hours ago."
"The dominant position of the Free Gotark Kingdom has been confirmed. The Captland Freedom Light Cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the sudden attack of the Federation Army eight hours ago. Four hours ago, they were driven by the Gotark Kingdom Army to the E-12 Lawless Gathering Area. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be removed from the list."
"The first phase of Queen Fina's foreign policy has been successful. As of half an hour ago, all the factions in the Western Sky District, except for the Church of Gusta, have expressed their willingness to obey. However, they have stated that they will only lay down their weapons after the supervision troops in the skies of their respective colonial planets have been dealt with. Queen Fina has sent you a request for assistance and a short video."
"The second phase of the free strike against the Empire's rebel army supervision troops has already begun six hours ago. The strength of the enemy has clearly changed. The Hunter Army has encountered the Super Large Scale Surveillance Troops several times in a row and was forced to retreat. The results of the battle have decreased compared to the first phase. Two small factions in the Southern Sky District acted rashly due to the collapse of the government and declared war on each other without authorization. They have already been warned and attacked by the third Hunter Army. The commander of the third Hunter Army is waiting for your order to exterminate them."
"The war in the Eastern Sky District is escalating. The Roland Gale Financial Group and the Angel Army have entered an all-out war. The Empire's superior forces have already secretly gathered at the border of the Angel Army. They were in position two hours ago and are waiting for the order to attack."
"Good news from the red giant base. The modification of the white dwarf's control core has been completed. Currently, the red giant has preliminary control. The first collapse and energy conversion experiment will be completed in four days."
"The latest news comes from the Queen of the Empire, Xu Shallow Shallow. The content of the message is as follows: Ah Jun, come down for breakfast. Big sister made pork and chives buns personally! This message has the highest authority and is currently being broadcasted to the entire fleet. "
"Oh," Mercury Lamp tossed and turned for a long time before finally popping her head out from under the blanket. Her entire body was still wrapped up tightly. "It's full of hardcore morning news, Your Majesty 'Emperor'."
At this moment, I was in a hurry to get the ship's mainframe to quickly stop the broadcast outside. I had a look of despair on my face. "Shallow Shallow that silly girl, can't you let me have a normal morning?!"
Sorry, I was wrong. That elegant and poetic beginning really didn't suit me. Today, it was still a lively beginning …
I put on my clothes and turned off the internal broadcast. I helped Mercury Lamp, who was pretending to be forced to comb her hair. Anveena didn't mind tidying up the room herself. Instead, she picked up Jingle who had fallen out of the lamp after waking up and stuffed her into her pocket. Then, she went to the cubicle to wash her face and brush her teeth.
"But why do I have to do this kind of thing?"
Holding a special cup of water and a towel that I had forcefully pressed on her neck, Mercury Lamp stood on top of the sink next to me and looked at me in dissatisfaction. She waved her toothbrush in protest, "Mannequins can clean themselves automatically!"
I turned my head away while foaming at the mouth. "Big sister taught me that since I was young. Now, you don't allow me to return to my roots? Or do you want big sister to personally supervise you when you brush your teeth? "
The moment big sister appeared, Mercury Lamp instantly became listless. She began to clumsily toss around her toiletries. One adult and one child were neatly washing their faces and brushing their teeth in front of the pool. From a philosophical point of view, it looked like a warm father-daughter pair (Liliana's original words). If you had good eyesight, you would also be able to see that on the other side of Mercury Lamp, a little green girl was also holding a toothbrush cup and gulping down water. That's right, she was drinking water. Although she still didn't know how to brush her teeth, because "it looks interesting and Jingle also wants to participate", our goddess, who should always be absolutely clean, would wash her face and brush her teeth with us every day.
However, the toothpaste had already been "smelled delicious" by her, so she finished it.
"Kuang dang, ka la …"
Suddenly, a strange collision sound came from above. I was stunned. I looked back at the direction of the ventilation hole and spat out a mouthful of toothpaste. "What the heck! Mercury Lamp, you have a headless senior model? "
A small body was hanging from the ventilation hole of the cubicle, swaying left and right. From the way she was dressed, it looked like a certain cartoonish version of Mercury Lamp. However, only her body appeared in my sight. Her head was missing.
A muffled voice came from the direction of the "headless senior" Mercury Lamp. "The black cat Mercury Lamp is trying to use her body to find a shortcut to Big Brother's room so that she can replace her mother to wake Big Brother up every morning. Osaka 16114 said dejectedly."
"And then?"
"My head is too big, so it's stuck …"
I prostrated myself and turned to look at the stunned chairman. "How does it feel to see ten thousand of yourself acting cute in different ways every day?"
"I shouldn't have let Bubble get involved."
"Requesting backup! Requesting backup! Osaka 16114 shook his body and tried to pull his head out. Osaka 16114's character was stuck and he couldn't find the Hearthstone that Bubble's manager had mentioned. Wuwu, it's so uncomfortable. Osaka 16114 requested to destroy the fan, but this is Big Brother's room … "
Although the situation in the Western Sky hadn't truly stabilized, it was basically under the control of us and Fei Na. The large and small forces here had already redistributed their territories and positions after the initial large-scale annexation war. The extremely active Federation Army was the biggest driving force behind all of this. Everything was developing in a good direction. The rebel army's attention was completely attracted by the chaotic attacks all over the galaxy. They didn't notice the abnormal power war in the Western Sky at all. Or rather, as long as the forces that were named were still fighting, the rebel army's supervision team wouldn't take action. Unknowingly, the Western Sky had already become our territory under the rebel army's eyes. The next step was to destroy all the rebel army supervision teams here with lightning speed and then seal off the entire Sky. Then, we could peacefully build up our technology here.
The rebel army, who relied on a set of simple logic to move, was obviously slow when faced with guerrilla warfare, which was extremely flexible. As we had hoped, they had sent a large number of troops to expand the scale of the supervision team. The number of troops that could be stationed in the Eastern Sky was getting lesser and lesser. The energy reaction within the Nebula was also getting stronger day by day, which meant that the enemy was already mobilizing the troops stationed in the fortress. If we were to start a direct battle now, we wouldn't have to face their reserve troops swarming out from deep space. The time was ripe.
"Thus, I have decided to start a direct battle in the Eastern Sky."
It was 9.30 in the morning in the spaceship. After gathering the Federation Commander, Empire Commander and the academy's military representative, I announced the news.
"We can finally go to the Eastern Sky to wreak havoc." Liliana was the first to respond. Having suffered a huge loss in the Eastern Sky before, she had long wanted to lead an overwhelming number of henchmen back to take revenge. However, very quickly, she noticed something even more noteworthy. "Boss, what's up with that Mercury Lamp with an exhaust fan on her neck?"
I replied, "… There are various reasons for that."
Osaka's younger sisters were really mischievous at times. Ahahahaha … Hahaha, my sister! That Osaka over there, please don't give me that 'Since it doesn't affect my movements anymore, I'm a man with a cute tits' expression, alright?!
At the border of the Angel Army, a certain military fortress planet in a certain star system. Apologies, there are too many different planet names in this world. For the time being, let's call this military fortress with a glorious name 'Soy Sauce 1'.
The battle at the frontlines was in full swing. The battle with the Roland Gale Financial Group's heavy fleets was reaching its climax. However, this fortress was still fortunate to not be affected due to its relatively remote location. This star system had twelve planets, with more than half of them being converted into military planets and equipped with planetary cannons. It was one of the bridgeheads for the Angel Army to deal with foreign pirates and Roland Gale's surprise attacks. Currently, its main responsibility was to act as the Stargate for the fleets to jump through, continuously transporting the country's troops to the frontlines. In reality, there were already hundreds of thousands of hybrid warships docked in this star system. If everything went according to plan, they would become the key force to repel Roland Gale's attack.
Regrettably, that was only in theory.
A violent flash of light from deep space pierced through Soy Sauce No. 1's atmosphere and hit its equator. This flash of light created a huge no man's land in the outer ring of Soy Sauce No. 1 and created a hole with a similar radius on the surface of the planet. Soy Sauce No. 1 was facing the direction of this attack. A quarter of the planet's crust was blown away, and the magma deep in the mantle was thrown tens of thousands of meters into the sky. Monstrous flames began to rapidly engulf the entire planet. A few minutes later, the entire planet began to gradually disappear in white light. The powerful planetary cannons and countless ground troops were powerless in the face of the special attack rays against planetary beings.
Following that, the massive Empire fleet charged into the star system without warning. The interference caused by the elementary gravity trap did not seem to affect the advanced spaceships at all. The latter used a negligible amount of energy to make up for the deviation of the target's gravitational field, and then began to attack every Angel Army unit within their range.
The sudden attack threw the garrison into chaos. They never thought that they would be ambushed by the Shepherdians. Not only was there no warning, but it was also a saturated bombardment right from the get-go. It was clear that the Shepherdians intended to wipe them out — something that had never happened before.
But the panic only lasted ten minutes. The inhabitants of this universe were most adept at dealing with battles that broke out at any time. The Empire fleet's first attack had destroyed a third of the star system's defenses, but the remaining two-thirds were scattered around the seven planets that were moving away from each other. They could not be wiped out in an instant, and so the fleets quickly regrouped and formed a defensive line.
The Imperial Army fleet had personally entered the star system, which meant that the superweapon just now did not have the ability to fire continuously, which was why they did not flee at the first moment.
The defensive forces quickly found the location of the Empire's flagship. It was too simple — a golden cross that stood proudly in space, hundreds of kilometers wide. It was a showy sight no matter how one looked at it.
"What are they doing? Not only did they organize a defense, but they are also planning to fight the Empire fleet head-on? "
On the bridge of the Empire's Admiral, I looked at the changes in the distribution of the enemy's battleships on the huge projection and was immediately confused. Those sampans that were attacked by the Empire's army and should have fled in all directions didn't retreat from the star system. Instead, they had gathered into three armies and were preparing to face the enemy head-on. One of the armies had even openly pointed all of their radars at the Empire's Admiral, the flagship of the Empire's Allied Forces.
The Empire's Admiral flagship and its subordinate Burn, Kill, and Loot squadrons 1, 2, and 3 finally made their move today. However, our first target wasn't the rebel warships that were running around the universe, but rather a tiny "lower civilization". This felt a little like bullying, but in order to lure out the rebel warships that were always hiding out, we could only choose to first attack these former pirate squadrons that were analyzed to be in cahoots with the rebel warships. Lina's information was correct. These pirates … were truly strange.
If it was an ordinary race, they would have long fled when they saw the large-scale gathering of the Imperial Army.
"The Empire Admiral has been locked onto by high-intensity radars. Powerful energy interference has been activated."
Due to the radar lock of an entire army of the enemy, the Empire Admiral automatically activated its countermeasures. Immediately, a shockingly powerful information interference was released along the path of the enemy's radar. The Angel Corps that had gathered in front of the Imperial Army exploded with flashes of energy. Several large radar warning ships even exploded into large balls of fire. Their sensors could not withstand such a large amount of information interference and all short-circuited and caught fire.
One taboo when fighting against the Empire fleet: Do not use the aiming device to lock onto spaceships that were mothership-class and above. To make up for the lack of mobility and lock onto smaller warships, those massive spaceships had at least ten ways to blind your eyes.
"The assault ships have already engaged the enemy's flanks. We have the absolute upper hand. Long live the Emperor."
The frontline commander High Fighting Spirits' report came through the communication link. The faint flashes of light coming from afar proved that the vanguard was engaged in a fierce battle. However, if the enemy was the Angel Legion's pirates, then this battle would be no different from a one-sided fireworks display.
"Liliana, why haven't the rebel army appeared yet?"
"Eh, that's weird." Liliana peeled an orange. "Could it be that they're on their period? Boss, help me peel the orange! My hands are too small to exert any strength! "
Liliana, you win. You weirdo. Can't you at least have some self-awareness?!
However, just when we thought that we could only eliminate these strange pirate groups and that the rebel army would not appear, an Empire commander in the command center's information battle zone suddenly reported loudly, "Reporting, Sir! An unknown signal has been detected from the core of the enemy's First Army! The signal is weak, but it has broken through the Empire Admiral's information protection network and is infiltrating our command link! "
