CHAPTER XIV PLANNING PROCEEDS 5
After the Deathbringer commander gave the order for reinforcements, a large number of transports began to fly out of the fortress-class battleship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info rushed towards the area where the ground was still in combat at great speed.
Perhaps feeling desperate, Count Leonard, along with his diehards and his guards, began a desperate attack.
The defenders began to launch frequent suicidal attacks, often detonating the prepared explosives in the buildings where the Deathbringers entered the defended buildings, killing the enemy with them.
However, such extreme measures could not stop the advance of the army of Deathbringers. Because the air supremacy had already fallen into their hands, the sky was full of Death Sect fighters whistling by.
The fortresses or batteries that were desperately firing were destroyed one by one by the dense fire from the sky.
In the orbit of the planet, the warships of the Cult of Death completely blocked the path in and out of the planet. Make sure that no one is on the ground and that no aircraft are able to escape the planetary area.
The defense fleet belonging to the county had all been reduced to a pile of floating wreckage an hour earlier. Although these warships resisted with all their might, in the face of a sudden attack by the Death Sect fleet, which had an overwhelming superiority in forces, failure was the most natural.
The last resistance of the Count and his men came to an end after three hours. The Deathbringers raised their banners on top of the city's main fortress.
By this time, the massive organized resistance of the entire planet had come to an end. In the areas where heavy fighting was predominantly fought, the corpses of soldiers who had fought on both sides could be seen everywhere.
In some places where hand-to-hand combat took place, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were even more entangled with each other. The blood gathered in many places, and it gathered into small blood-red puddles.
For on this planet, such fierce resistance was encountered. Obviously, this fleet of the Death Sect was also a little surprised, which was completely different from some of the planets they had conquered before.
In fact, although Count Leonard is mediocre in intelligence, his troops are indeed composed of battle-experienced soldiers. These people have been protecting the shipping lanes for many years and fighting against the vicious space pirates, so they are very powerful in combat.
And the earl is very generous to the soldiers under his command. Therefore, these people are also loyal, and in the face of the unfavorable situation of the invasion of their homeland, these people are also desperate to fight.
Although the casualties of the Deathbringer exceeded expectations, the commander was very pleased with the performance of the planetarians. The more stubbornly these people resist, the more they will be able to become excellent death messengers in the future.
The Legion of Death on the ground will begin a full-scale sweep, and these fearless warriors will appear extremely cold-blooded and ruthless when they face resistance again. But if the enemy stops resisting and surrenders, they will not carry out indiscriminate slaughter.
The civilians were driven out of hiding by the dead soldiers. Then one by one, they pressed into the designated area, waiting for the huge fortress-like ships that were landing in the sky.
From the beginning of the battle to the suppression of the entire planet, the Death Sect took less than thirty hours in total. During this time, no distress messages were sent out of the planet.
Soon, in the blue sky, one after another starships like huge steel cities entered the atmosphere out of outer space.
Then these large space warships slowly landed in the open space on the outskirts of the city. Under the gaze of the survivors of those planets, the huge hatch was slowly lowered.
The priests of the Cult of Death were the first to step out of the ship, staring at the captives below with uneasy expressions on their faces. They walked confidently with smiles on their faces, and for the rest of the day. Among these survivors, the priests will preach their own civilization.
Those who survive will join the Death Cult under the threat of death, and become the source of strength for this interstellar nomadic force.
The Death Sect relied on this tactic of nourishing war with war, and in the continuous conquest, the power of the legion became bigger and bigger. No matter how big the losses are incurred in the battle, they can be quickly recovered after the battle.
And in the process of continuous fighting, the Death Messenger who has been eliminated layer by layer will be the most powerful person in combat. In battle, they will be invincible with one enemy and one hundred enemies, which is also the reason why the Death Sect is so powerful.
Just when the priests of the Cult of Death preached their pilgrimage to the survivors of the planet. Somewhere in the ruins of the planet, a figure calmly lay in the distance without making any movement. Just looked at everything that happened in front of him with a cold gaze, and recorded it one by one.
A month later, a merchant fleet came to the planet by chance. All that appeared in front of them was a city in ruins. The ground was littered with the wreckage of various destroyed vehicles and aircraft, and all kinds of bombed corpses were everywhere.
The men of the merchant fleet then descended to the surface of the planet to search. It turned out that the vast majority of the population was missing, and the bombed corpses on the ground were only a fraction of the planet's population.
In response to this puzzling doubt, the captain of the merchant fleet immediately reported the matter to the Imperial Governor in charge of this area. As a result, the Imperial side began to launch a comprehensive wanted warrant in the major star regions, modeling these space pirates who lawlessly attacked the empire's territory.
At the same time as the Empire was in full swing, in a galaxy belonging to Gilena. On a planet covered in ice and snow, Gilena is watching the development of her troops.
According to the previously decided plan, Gilena is responsible for all combat missions in this mission plane, and all combat missions will be under her command.
Strategically, Gilena used a portion of the spice Maggira Blue to purchase a Desolate Galaxy from the Imperial Government. There is not a single planet in this galaxy that is suitable for human habitation.
Among the eleven major planets, they are either deserts or frozen environments. Therefore, it is not worth the time and experience of the colonists to waste their time and experience on these planets.
And such a deserted galaxy is indeed the most suitable place for her troops to be used as a temporary base in Gilena's opinion. So after buying this galaxy, he immediately concentrated most of the warships of the Brilliant Weapon battle group here.
Gilena is commanding fleets to attack merchant ships posing as space pirates, transporting all the materials she has acquired to these systems. Some of them are used in exchange for some necessary supplies, and the rest is used by their own troops.
Because there is a galaxy to use, Gilena has set up a temporary command base on one of the planets for mission command.
Gilena was well aware of the importance of intelligence, so she used the merchant fleet as a cover. In many important galaxies, prosthetic spies have been dispatched.
These prosthetic people, who have the appearance of normal people, are all combined with a series of new technologies such as the Terminator technology. Not only is the combat effectiveness strong, but the penetration ability is second to none. Each of them is a top assassin and spy.
Thanks to the hard work of thousands of these spies, Gilena has initially built up an intelligence network covering half of the Empire.
The information that Gilena is watching now is the attack on Earl Leonard's domain that took place a month ago. At that time, an intelligence agent deceived the army of death messengers by feigning his death. And the situation at the scene was recorded.
After the Death Cult fleet left, the intelligence officer left to make contact with his own fleet. And finally from this planet, took away a lot of corpses that remained intact and left. This is also the reason why no body was found after the merchant fleet arrived.
Jilena had watched this information many times, and she was thinking about limiting the speed of the Death Legion's development. The information collected this time has been sold to the Imperial side as black market intelligence through some special channel.
It is believed that the Imperial Government will increase the chances of discovering the Death Sect fleet after obtaining this information. And this is exactly what Gilena wants to see, let these two forces fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"Most of the technology of this Death Sect is very ordinary, and some of them are relatively special. For example, those scouts are actually biological instruments modified by humans. I believe that Qiu Yue's research department will be interested in these. Jilena said to Xiahoulin on the screen, and it seemed to her that the technology of the Deathbringer was the only one that interested her, and the others were too backward.
"If you think it's good, arrange for the troops to take it. Now the battleships of the Death Sect will always be left alone. However, the speed at which this sect discovered its power was too fast, relying only on the side of the decaying empire. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the development of the other party in a short period of time. You have to think about it! Xiahou Lin said to Ji Liana very seriously, after all, if the Death Sect has developed too much, then it will be very troublesome to eliminate this target.
"At present, according to the information we have, the other party has been in this world for almost three months. I suggest that we take action in three years' time, when the Cult of Death will be as powerful as the main Empire legions, and if there is a decisive battle between them, then our chance will come. An opportunity to hit the two major forces in one fell swoop. Gilena smiled and said, apparently she had a very good plan in mind.
"yes, it looks like you've got a plan. Then we'll wait and see the results, and by the way, the collection of spices has reached a balance point. If we continue with our current plan, we will be able to complete the collection mission once the Vessel of Glory has been expanded. Xia Houlin on the screen said the progress of the current collection plan, and he is now in this plane. All missions will be centered around the progress of the Vessel of Glory, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a mission world to complete the transformation of the ship.
"In that case, then I'm here to create some opportunities between the Empire and the Death Sect. So that these wars between the two of them can last a little. Gilena smiled and said, maybe it will be a little difficult for the Empire to find the Death Sect. But if you want to find these guys, you have a much better chance.
"Then I'll take care of you, and I'll continue to deal with the Feremans. These guys have recently acquired weapons and are already ambitious to take over the entire planet of Arrakis. It seems that these people have to be taught some lessons! I'm going to get busy first. After saying this, Xiahoulin took the initiative to end the communication, although he needed the support of the Fereman people in Arrakis, but he did not need a tribal force that was too strong.
On Arrakis, what Xiahoulin and the others needed was a balance. The balance of power between the Imperial forces and the Pheremen is the most important thing for one's side.
Gilena turned her gaze to another giant screen, a renovated factory under the snow and ice. The corpses of humans collected in different worlds will be sorted into separate categories.
Engineers will then use the latest transformation technology and special potions developed by scientific research units to resurrect the corpse into a new generation of revival soldiers.
When these soldiers are resurrected, their bodies will be strengthened with potions, and they will be implanted with memories, among other means. Gain the combat experience of the previous Resurrection soldiers, and be quickly thrown into the heat of battle.
Some of the corpses that are not physically fit will be used for various research experiments. It will provide valuable test data for future revival soldier transformation programs.
Those corpses that don't even have a test value will be transformed into self-detonators. They will carry explosives and carry out suicide self-detonation missions.
Looking at the revivalist troops in front of her, who were already in the process of being reorganized, Jilena had a satisfied smile on her face. At this rate of production, the number of revucinee troops would reach millions.
In ground combat, such a number of troops, combined with heavy mechanized units, will be invincible in capturing every enemy city.
An encrypted message came from a screen in the base command room. Gilena then ordered her men to open it, and she was greeted by a fleet of Death Cults attacking a galaxy fifty light-years away from her own.
The system that was attacked was a fief belonging to a baron. It is mainly mineral-producing, and the resources are not very competitive, so it is also an area known for its poverty.
On the other hand, the armed forces there are obviously much weaker than those of other galaxies. And the warships that attacked the Death Sect here were relatively small. Reports from reconnaissance planes that are currently more lurking indicate that only three large fortified warships have been there.
After seeing this report, Jilena immediately came to her senses. I had been preparing a lot of trouble for the Modeling Death Sect before, but I didn't expect these people to appear so directly.
"Now order, the First Fleet departs. Go directly to the target system and be sure to capture a local battleship. The other warships can be wiped out directly. After giving this order, Gilena sat down in the command room. Get ready to watch the battle that will break out next.
