Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Respectable Enemy
Inside the flagship command room
"Your Majesty, take advantage of his illness to kill him! Now the fleet of the Independence Union is being overhauled! We can take advantage of this opportunity to take them down! The commander of the Imperial Fleet, Liu Yi, respectfully suggested to Li Mingze. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Yi is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, with a smile on his white face, if you think he is a kind-hearted old man, then you are wrong, he is famous for his ruthlessness towards the enemy.
"Well, that's a good idea, just like me." Li Mingze was very satisfied with Liu Yi's performance,
"This battle is under your command, behave well, and hurry up and arrange it!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! "The commander's face was flushed with excitement, and he died without regret for receiving His Majesty's appreciation!
Well, although it's very cool to drive a personal expedition or something, I have to do everything, and this emperor is too tired to do it. It's time to select a group of outstanding operational commanders from the war, and they will lead the army to charge for the empire, and I, the emperor, will be able to lead the overall situation.
Thinking so, Li Mingze slowly walked out of the command room.
The Imperial fleet was reequipped with hyperspace engines and moved in the direction of the new capital of the Independence Alliance.
The new capital system of the Independence Alliance
"Command, we've received a request for supplies from the Imperial fleet." On the Star Station of the New Capital of the Independent Alliance, a signal soldier reported to the command center.
The Imperial fleet, which had been allowed to enter the port, came to the space station and fell silent.
"Well, why didn't they enter the port?" The port shuttle officer wondered.
"Damn! Their weapons are accumulating! A dock worker next to him threw down his cart and ran towards the space station, shouting without looking back.
The other workers immediately turned their surprised gazes to the guns of these Imperial fleets, and sure enough, these guns began to glow with a faint red glow! And the originally low barrel slowly lifted up, aiming at the port where the workers were!
The command center of the space station also sensed that something was wrong, and asked in a questioning tone: "This is the space station of the Independent Alliance!" Why are you charging weapons! You are provoking a new war! ”
Commander Liu Yi smiled and replied cold-bloodedly: "Now there are nearly a thousand beam cannons aimed at you, I limit you to surrender within ten seconds, otherwise we can only shoot you into a sieve!" ”
“10! 9! 8! ”
"Don't fire! We surrender! The station's administrators hurriedly shouted that they had chosen between life and death. Because the Independence Alliance's warships are being repaired, and the space station does not have enough strength to defend itself, risking resistance at this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Tens of seconds later, the originally closed port gates opened one after another, and the beam cannons that were originally aimed at the Imperial fleet also slowly raised their muzzles and turned inward.
The landing ships, which were following the rear of the fleet, flew into the harbor, and after docking, groups of marines rushed into the harbor in alternate cover.
It didn't take long for the entire space station to be taken, and the Empire had taken control of the orbit in the capital of the Independent Alliance. Lewi never expected to take control of the space orbit so easily.
Lewi set his sights on the new capital star of the Independence Alliance: "Attack the planet's air defense facilities with all your might!" ”
Beams of red lasers from the Imperial fleet were fired towards the planet's air defenses, and from time to time missiles flew out of the battleship.
Because this planet is home to the largest shipbuilding center and scientific research center of the Independent Alliance, Li Mingze forbids the use of nuclear weapons in this war, and even if the loss is great, he must take the planet completely! These industrial facilities are essential to the expansion of the empire!
By the time the anti-aircraft fire on the planet was almost destroyed by the Imperial fleet, hundreds of orbital airborne force transports were prepared to throw assault landing silos full of soldiers towards the planet's surface.
But unexpectedly, the Imperial army did not meet a single resistance on the ground, and all the soldiers of the Independent Union threw away their weapons and sat together.
On the central equatorial island of the new capital planet, stands a huge manor.
The entire estate consists of hundreds of milky white buildings, the façade of which is covered with lush vegetation, and in the middle of the estate is a huge square with a huge arc-shaped building standing next to the square.
There was no sound in the originally noisy and bustling manor, and the maids and guards who ran through the buildings disappeared.
As night fell, the whole manor was silent, and there was not a single light except for the middle building. And this dormant manor welcomed its last guest.
Blue flames erupted from the bottom of a huge ship, and the massive air currents from the engines spewed the plants in the manor square to the ground.
Rows of lights lit up around the ship, illuminating the entire manor as if it were daytime.
As the ship's lifting platform fell, a young man in black and gold power armor and a black cloak stepped down from the lifting platform.
Behind the man, there was no guard, and he walked into the huge white building.
Walking through the long, narrow white hallway, the man came to an office, which seemed somewhat empty. All I saw was a chair with its back to the door, and a huge star map hanging from the wall. The whole office seemed a little empty.
"You're here." An old voice came from behind the chair, and his tone was full of regret.
"Yes, you knew I was coming." The young man said slowly.
"When I was younger, I used to look up at the stars, looking forward to the day when I could soar in it, hoping that I would be able to witness the growth of the alliance, but I never thought that there would be such a day!" The old voice replied in a non-requisition.
Without waiting for the young man to speak, the old voice continued; "To this day, I still have the delusion that you won't come, but I didn't expect you to come in the end. The chair, with its back to the man, slowly turned, and it was Parr, the supreme leader of the Independent League.
"I have ordered the army not to resist anymore, I don't want to see my homeland destroyed by the war, my soldiers make senseless sacrifices, I hope you will spare my soldiers and treat them well, and in return, I will leave you unharmed with the hundreds of warships being repaired in the dockyard. But......" Parr raised his gun and pointed it at the young man.
"Aren't you afraid?" Seeing that the young man showed no signs of timidity, Parr wondered.
"I believe that you will not shoot, so I will hand over the battleship to me untouched at you, and beg me to spare your soldiers, and you will not shoot either." The young man said with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehehe, you're wrong. I'm old, my family is gone, and this universe is still the world of the strong in the end. Remember, don't indulge in the illusion of peace like the Alliance, and end up in destruction! With that, Parr aimed the gun in his hand at his head.
The young man turned his back and walked out slowly, and the mirrors on both sides of the corridor reflected Li Mingze's resolute side face.
In a few moments, a gunshot rang out behind him, and Parr's body slowly slid off his chair.
The twilight of the beauty and the end of the hero are the most helpless sorrow and the most regrettable.
"Burn this manor and build a monument here." Li Mingze instructed the soldiers waiting in the elevator. The elevator rises slowly.
The huge spaceship spewed tail flames and disappeared into the air, and soon a missile fell from the sky like a meteor towards the huge manor, and a flash of light flashed, and the originally gorgeous manor disappeared.
Transport ships landed on the island, and huge monuments were carved out of huge metal ingots.
On the stele:
July 23, 2024
The leader of the Independence League, Parr, rests here
The Independence Alliance surrendered on all fronts,
From this moment on,
The real beginning of the empire is to the stars,
This monument bears witness to the rise of the empire.
