The melee between humans and demons on the Huagai Star lasted for three full months, and during these three months, a certain bad little girl Head of State naturally did not go anywhere, and was always on that orbiting ship.
Nestled inside the Noxus.
Naturally, she certainly did not stay in the bridge all the time and control the secondary guns to conduct orbital bombardment on the ground. It is absolutely impossible for her to fight the subspace demons day and night like the soldiers on the ground.
.
She only spent a lot of time in the bridge in the first two days, and then for more than two months, she spent most of the time wandering around the ship or playing with herself in her own room.
Holographic simulation games, or playing various roles in the simulation games of recruiting and training new recruits at the base to educate the new recruits. Only occasionally would they go to the bridge to operate the secondary guns and help on the ground.
However, even then, her help to the 'March Battle' on the planet's surface was huge!
Under her precise bombing, she not only avoided a large number of casualties on her own side, but also repeatedly dealt painful and heavy blows to the demons at critical moments, determining the victory of several key battles, and finally allowed the base to be surrendered three months later.
A basic victory was achieved in the battle with humans on the ground.
The reason why it is called 'basic' is because although humans and the base have recaptured or bombed most of the cities and rescued nearly 10 billion survivors, there are still nearly one-half of the entire planet's land and
One-third of the town is firmly occupied by demons, and the red mist that permeates the planet still covers at least one-third of the planet's surface. At the same time, there are at least a large number of subspace demons, twisted
Psykers, Chaos monsters, and mutants who have been corrupted and corrupted by the Chaos energies of the Warp exist.
Especially those mutants, whose number is roughly estimated to be at least hundreds of millions to billions!
Some of them were corrupted by the subspace energy, that is, the red mist, because they were too late to be rescued. Some of them were killed by the demons and then re-infected and revived. Some of them simply took the initiative to join the demon side.
At present, there are a large number of subspace demons, twisted psychics, chaos monsters and those chaos mutants that firmly occupy at least half of the land on the planet for several years, even ten years, or even longer. Cleaning and disinfecting will definitely be impossible!
Although what awaits the humans on the Huagai Star will be a protracted war and confrontation, given that this war has rescued and accommodated nearly 10 billion survivors, they have no chance to compete with the more than 20 billion victims.
Being buried in the red mist or the minions of demons is undoubtedly very worthwhile, and it can indeed be called a victory.
However, for this even victory, humans and the base did make huge sacrifices.
According to incomplete statistics, in this war, in just three months, the human side used the method of fighting to support the war, recruiting more than 15 million soldiers (violent troops), and also armed
There were nearly 30 million civilians, but when the victory of the battle was finally declared and the large-scale offensive ended, it still cost more than 20 million horrific casualties!
What's even more frightening is that after this three-month war, the mine base, which is mainly located in the market, has been unable to organize a new offensive in a short period of time.
They must use a year or even longer to conduct a new round of reorganization of the armies whose command systems and ideas have become very confusing. Otherwise, once the remaining nearly ten million troops and enough
If there is any problem with more than 15 million armed civilians, it will be great fun!
Although those problems are not too serious under the threat of subspace demons and a large number of mutants, signs of them have already appeared, especially in some areas where various warlords and careerists who disobey orders and dominate the land have even appeared.
Especially the leaders who were already shelters in the apocalypse, they seemed unwilling to give up their privileges easily?
And that kind of outrageous thing that wants to get rid of the mine base and stand on its own will never be allowed by either the Koprulu sector or Darius, the supreme commander of the universe's "forward base"!
Therefore, when the three-month campaign ended and victory was declared, the focus of the next work became to reorganize the blindly expanding army and armed civilians and implement an administrative and management system suitable for Huagai Star based on the template of the sector.
.
Of course, in addition, the base still needs to do a lot of things.
For example, deploying defenses at strategic locations in various demon-inhabited areas, commending and promoting individuals or groups who performed outstandingly in the battle to 'recover' Huagai Star, and paying tribute to the fallen soldiers and their families (if there are any left?
) to express condolences and commend all soldiers, as well as clean up the recovered cities, rebuild and restore necessary agricultural production and economic activities, etc.
Anyway!
In this three-month war, the series of battles against the demons led by the mine base undoubtedly achieved huge gains. They successfully smashed some vicious conspiracies in the subspace and saved nearly 10 billion survivors. But at the same time,
Since I became a fat man after eating in one go, there were a lot of problems left over. Just like the demons who need time to lick their wounds and prepare for another fierce battle with humans, the base also needs more time to sort out.
The fruits of victory just won.
However, those things have nothing to do with a certain terrible little girl head of state!
Although, a certain idiot commander in the base has hinted or explicitly stated many times that he wanted her, the supreme head of the sector, to go to the ground to preside over some important work and attend some important occasions to boost morale or go to
Town scenes and so on.
But no matter what, she just refused all the requests. No matter what the other party said, she just stayed on the Noxus and pretended that she would never stop until the troublesome things on the ground were over.
Will you get to the ground easily?
In this regard, Darius and others naturally had no good solution.
Even if they kept making various excuses several times, and even cunningly moved out Wang Qing, Liu Li, Gao Lanlan and other acquaintances of hers, and asked them to find opportunities to trick her into going to the base to reminisce or have a victory dinner, it would still be the same.
It didn't have any effect at all.
Isn’t this?
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
()
It had only been two days since the battle ended, and Darius and the other guys were so overwhelmed with all kinds of work on the ground that they couldn't eat well, sleep well, and had to work overload. They even removed many non-essential jobs on the flagship.
When all the personnel were transferred to the base to help, a certain troubled little head of state was enjoying a meal in a restaurant on the ship where there were not many people, and did not pay attention to the troubles on the planet at all.
"ha!"
()
"Auntie! I also want a piece of Tianshu meat and a cage of crystal shrimps!"
Ψ()
In fact, not only did she not take those things to heart, but she had a huge appetite because the three-month war was finally over. After eating the food for two, she was still not satisfied and continued to pat the table and move towards the cafeteria counter.
The aunt over there who cooks super delicious food urged me loudly.
"no problem!"
Naturally, the aunt in the ship's canteen did not dare to neglect the request of her head of state. Moreover, after thinking about it, she simply leaned on the counter and asked Anne thoughtfully:
"Dear Head of State..."
"Do you want it cooked by me, or ready-made from the synthesizer?"
Since the sector obtained a lot of interesting technologies from a certain ship called the Orville in a certain world, especially quantum synthesis technology, the mess hall of the Noxus flagship and some officers' lounges began to
With the installation of that kind of quantum synthetic food machine, you can quickly and easily obtain a variety of delicious food, which greatly reduces the workload of the ship's chefs and the number of complaints they receive.
Of course, although that kind of instrument is very good and convenient, it is not without its shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is: monotony!
That’s right, it’s monotonous!
Although there are many types of food, the taste of each food is mostly the same. Even if some adjustments can be made, the final food still does not have many changes in details. For some people who pursue complexity,
For gourmets, the change in taste is undoubtedly unacceptable. Therefore, the profession of 'chef' will naturally be retained in the cafeteria to meet the demanding food requirements of some sailors.
And obviously, Anne is one of them!
“Want it freshly fried!”
()
Without thinking about it, between synthetic food and freshly fried food, Annie happily raised her hand and made her choice without thinking.
"OK!"
"Please wait..."
It was just two dishes, so the aunt in the cafeteria didn't bother her. She just signaled to Anne to wait patiently, then turned around and got busy.
"Yeah, uh uh..."
(~)Chew!
"Eh?"
-
(゜-゜)つロ
At this moment, while Annie was eating and waiting patiently, to her surprise, a communication window popped up in the universal tool on her wrist. Then when she opened it out of curiosity, she discovered that it was another person who was afraid.
Dead guy?
"ah!"
()
"It's Aunt Yanrong, what can I do for you?"
(˙o˙)
Seeing that it was the other party and considering that they had not contacted each other for a long time, Anne naturally blurted out the question without thinking.
"Look what you said!"
"Can't I come and chat with you if I have nothing to do?"
"We are friends!"
"Thankfully I'm still thinking about you!"
Hearing this, Hong Yanrong in the communication naturally rolled her eyes at Anne with an unhappy and resentful expression.
"miss?"
()
"That's how adults like you are. None of what you say is true. Are you tired?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~
Unfortunately, Anne didn't buy it. She just blinked and looked at the other person's expression seriously for a while, then mercilessly exposed the other person's untrue words.
"You don't need to find someone to inquire about it."
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"Now that they have won the war, if you want to come back, come back as soon as possible. Your safety is definitely guaranteed!"
(′～`●)
Knowing what the other person was worried about, Annie continued to eat while helplessly speaking to a certain guy who was afraid of death.
"It's not urgent!"
"Aren't you still in the universe right now?"
"Besides, now that most of the red mist has dissipated and communications are open, I can control it remotely from other planets. I can go back in a few years."
It can be heard that the other party must have understood the situation on the ground, so Anne's deception did not work, and the other party still did not plan to return to Canopy Star easily.
"I don't want to go back because I'm afraid of trouble. I'm not like you!"
()
then!
Just like that, Annie, who was already idle and waiting for feeding, started chatting with the other party.
For two women who have nothing to do for the time being and neither of them want to go back to the ground of Huagai Star, on the premise that neither of them has any purpose or urgent things to do, it is natural that they can talk about some things.
My own words.
…
Otherwise!
I don’t know how long it took. Just as Anne was chatting happily with the other party, and just as a certain aunt in the cafeteria enthusiastically brought the two hot dishes to her table, unexpectedly, a message came from the bridge.
The communication rudely interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
And who appeared in the communication box if it wasn't the captain?
"!!"
()
"What are you doing?"
(﹏)
"Didn't they say, don't bother me no matter what happens?"
()
"If you have anything to do, go to that guy Darius!"
()/
Seeing that the other party appeared at such a critical moment, Anne was naturally so angry that she immediately pulled the hologram channel aside and scolded him angrily.
"If you want to bomb the demons, just do it yourself!"
-
(゜-゜)つ
"Anyway, all the living people in the Red Mist Zone have turned into demons now. You don't have to worry about accidental injuries. Just blow them up!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
After saying that, he waved his hands impatiently, and then, feeling a little unhappy, Head of State Anne prepared to turn off the communication channel that had been forcibly switched out.
"Sorry, Führer!"
"My subordinates are not here for those things, but for other more important emergencies!"
Although he also wants to bomb the demons, the ground base does not want to start a war again, especially when the reorganization and reconstruction of the army have not been smoothed out yet?
"Emergency situations?"
(^)
"In case of emergency, go find Darius and the others!"
|▽)
Annie said that those guys are obviously better than her at dealing with financial situations, and she will usually only make the situation worse, that's obvious!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"The Führer!"
"We have contacted the ground base."
"However, whether it is the ground base or us, we feel that you must decide this matter yourself?"
"This was ordered by Commander Darius himself."
"so……"
Saying that Anne could not ask or refuse, the captain in the communication first smiled apologetically, and then quickly used some authority to forcefully send a communication to her, asking him to use a larger hologram directly.
A pop-up window appeared in front of her:
——————
To the human colony in the Taiwei galaxy:
This is the second fleet of the Imperial Great Expedition Fleet. Our fleet has now arrived at the outskirts of the Taiwei galaxy. It is expected to move to the outer orbit of the galaxy in a week. The announcement is as follows:
Terra has risen again, the subspace storm is receding, and the human colonies that have been isolated for thousands of years will also be recovered. Humanity will surely gather under the same flag and under the same regime again. Any attempt to harm the human colonies will continue.
, the aliens and tyrants who took advantage of the situation will also be liquidated, in the name of the Emperor!
In view of this, all ruling classes in the Taiwei system are requested to send representatives within a week to discuss with our fleet unconditional joining of the empire.
Commander of the Second Fleet and Commander of the Sixteenth Legion ‘Lunar Wolves’, Horus Luperkar!
——————
"!!"
()
After reading it, Annie was immediately stunned. Then, she finally understood why the other party suddenly intervened in the conversation between herself and Aunt Yanrong.
"Who is he?"
(д)b
Seeing this, Anne couldn't care less to continue chatting and gossiping with a certain aunt who was afraid of death. Instead, she immediately asked:
"So arrogant?"
(ω‖)
"Where did they come from, and what does that Emperor of Terra do?"
()
You know, even though she is the head of the federal government who always likes to do things unreasonably and does whatever she wants, she rarely, very rarely lets certain individuals or certain forces directly surrender to her unconditionally without asking any questions.
Under normal circumstances, she would occasionally do that only when the other party provoked her?
"this……"
"My subordinates don't know either."
"We have immediately gone to ask all the former high-level officials of the planets that we can find on Canopy, but none of them know about Terra and the 'Emperor'."
"After all, the last recorded communication between the Taiwei Galaxy and Terra was just after the AI ​​rebellion period ended and before the subspace storm occurred."
"Thousands of years have passed since then, right?"
"They all said they didn't know what the 'Emperor' was. Even when they asked the longest-lived psyker captives, they all said they had never heard of an imperial system on Terra, let alone
Have you ever heard of Lao Shizi’s ‘Emperor’?”
With slumped shoulders, the captain in the communication spoke noncommittally, and reluctantly stated that the situation he currently knew was really no more than that of a leader who only eats, drinks, plays and sleeps in all day long.
"Is it like this?"
(′～`●)
"Then have you sent back messages to ask each other again?"
(c)
After thinking for a while, Annie asked again.
She thought that maybe the expedition fleet from Terra made a mistake. For example, the other party mistook them for the original planetary government?
If she explained it carefully, she felt that the other party would understand and back off.
After all, neither she nor the Star District would take the initiative to fight against other human forces. In addition, they just want to focus on fighting those subspace demons and quickly deal with the mess of Huagai Star. There really is nothing more.
I have no energy to worry about other things, and I don’t want to worry about it!
"I'm back."
"But the response I got was this."
"Führer, why don't you take a look at it yourself?"
Hearing Anne's words, the captain seemed to have been prepared, and then once again sent the second reply and notice received from that expedition fleet to Anne:
——————
To the human colony in the Taiwei galaxy:
I am Horus Luperkar, commander of the Second Fleet of the Imperial Great Expeditionary Fleet, and currently the commander of the Sixteenth Legion, the ‘Lunar Wolves’ Legion.
Here, I must inform you in the harshest terms: The Terra Empire has re-emerged, and the human colonies that have been isolated for thousands of years will be found and must be found! All human colonies must be reunited again
Under the same flag and the same government.
I warn you again, this is not a negotiation, this is an ultimatum issued in the name of the Emperor and cannot be refused!
In view of this, our fleet requires the ruling class of the Taiwei system to send representatives within a week and negotiate with our fleet on the outermost planet of the Taiwei system for unconditional surrender.
This is your only choice and your only way out.
Do not try to challenge our patience and sincerity, and do not underestimate the power and determination of the Empire!
In a week, we will arrive at the core orbit of the planet in the outermost part of the terrestrial galaxy. At that time, if you do not respond, we will take necessary actions to ensure the safety and unity of human colonies.
——Horus Luperkar
———————
"!!"
(д)b
Come on!
Seeing the other party's second round of announcements, and seeing the other party's harsher and more undisguised wording, Anne basically knew that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of talking to them, and it was clear that they wanted them to surrender directly.
, and it’s still unreasonable?
"??"
"Anne Fuhrer?"
"What's wrong?"
After a long time, maybe because she saw no reaction from Anne, maybe because she heard some conversation, finally, Hong Yanrong, who was chatting with Anne before, shook the communication box again and asked strangely.
"nothing!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"Aunt Yanrong, I think you should not go back to Huagai Star yet!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Thinking about what might happen next, Annie finally changed her mind about deceiving the other party to go back and said helplessly.
"Eh?"
"Why?"
Seeing Anne's inconsistent attitude, the other party was startled for a moment, and then hurriedly asked nervously.
Because Annie had been encouraging her to go back to Huagai Star just now, but now she suddenly changed her attitude. Combined with what she just heard, she naturally became a little nervous.
"Because there might be another war!"
()
"Anyway!"
(ì_í)
"If you're afraid of death, it's better to hide?"
(o°ω°o)
With that said, without waiting for the other party to ask any more questions, Anne turned off the communication, then looked at the captain and ordered:
"People know it!"
(o▽)o
"Go tell those guys Darius that they will go back to the base to find them when they are full, that's it!"
╭()
After giving the instructions and seeing that nothing happened to the other party, Annie quickly turned off all communications and quickly swallowed and chewed the two plates of food that had just been served under the astonished eyes of the cafeteria aunt.
That’s right!
Anne already had a rough idea of ​​what to do next.
You know, she, Head of State Anne, did not provoke anyone, and after struggling for almost half a year, she managed to take care of this galaxy and saved at least tens of billions of people on the Huagai Star. But as a result, the situation has just improved.
But suddenly a group of guys jumped out and wanted her to surrender without even asking, and in the name of some inexplicable 'emperor'?
How could she endure that kind of thing?
So, she was already thinking, maybe, she should go back to the planet and have a good talk with Darius and his group of idiots in the base to see what to do next to deal with it.
A bunch of bad guys who invaded their territory?
nature!
That kind of thing is relatively mind-consuming, so she plans to fill her stomach first. After all, there is still a full week, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
(…)
