"Ahem, I'm here to familiarize you with the empire's combat methods, and the future battles will be handed over to you to command." After seeing Andreth's aggrieved expression, Li Mingze coughed dryly twice.

"Now that we have basically taken this planet, the alien troops and a million orbital airborne troops will remain to occupy this planet and defend against possible enemy reinforcements."

"The rest of the troops are all back in the fleet, and we move on to the next target." After assigning the task, Li Mingze handed over the authority to Andreth.

Hours later.

Having made a circle on the ground and did not fire a single shot, the Airborne Army took a transport ship and returned to the fleet.

Only five million alien troops and one million orbital airborne troops were retained on the planet Mississi.

All the remaining troops have returned to the fleet, and countless defensive weapons are left on the ground, which the remaining soldiers will use to hold out until the end of the war.

Although Li Mingze knew that very few of these people would survive at the end of the war, these orbital airborne troops had to be sacrificed for the sake of the war.

The sacrifice of the Orbital Airborne Army, which was composed entirely of non-Imperial citizens, was felt by Li Mingze at all, these people were nothing more than statistics.

On the ground of Mississi, the soldiers left behind looked up at the sky, and as the light in the sky disappeared, they knew that the Imperial fleet had left, and they were left to rely on themselves.

Fortresses began to stand all over the city thanks to the efforts of the soldiers of the Airborne Army.

The Xenomorph forces also hid in the city's buildings, quietly waiting for the enemy to descend.

Three days later, the Alliance's fleet finally arrived at Mississi, but the Sith Empire's fleet was long gone, leaving them with countless wreckage floating in orbit.

The original four space cities were blown to ashes by the Empire's fleet after the population was transferred.

"Sir, we're late, Mississistar has already been taken by enemy forces." A soldier on the bridge of the flagship of the Alliance fleet bowed his head to the masked man sitting in the command seat.

The masked man angrily slammed the console: "Send a landing force and take this planet back for me!" ”

"Report sir, Asa three light-years away has just been attacked by the Empire, and the orbiting space station on Asa has been destroyed by the time the message is sent." A soldier reported breathlessly as he ran up to the masked man.

"Damn! We simply can't catch up with these Sith ships by flying at sub-light speeds. The masked man gritted his teeth.

"From the beginning to the end, we can only follow them to clean up the pieces, and then go on like this, our planet ......"

The reality was a little different from what he expected, and he originally planned to lead the Alliance fleet to wipe out the Imperial fleet little by little through kite flying tactics.

But now the situation is reversed, and the Sith Empire knows that they do not have the technology to fly faster than the speed of light, so they have started a guerrilla war with him.

In just seven or eight days, he had already received information that at least ten planets had been attacked by Imperial fleets.

In desperation, the alliance fleet gathered together could only divide its forces and recapture the occupied planet little by little.

"Ignore the new distress messages, the planet we rush to will be occupied as well."

"Little by little, we want to gradually regain the occupied planet!"

"Deploy troops to Mississistar now!" The masked man waved his hand and lay down on the chair.

Soon, one by one, the landing ships of the coalition fleet separated from the fleet and flew towards the surface.

To the surprise of the coalition, they did not encounter any anti-aircraft weapons during the landing, which made their prepared orbital weapons useless.

The thrusters on both sides of the landing ship blew dust from the ground into the air, and the wide and heavy hull slammed into the ground.

As the deck of the landing ship dropped to the ground, armored vehicles rushed out of the transport, followed by a dense crowd of Union infantry.

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

"Safety! No enemies were found! The soldiers who had spread out of the cordon raised their hands and made a safe gesture.

There was not a single shadow of the enemy around their landing area, could it be that the troops of these empires had already retreated.

"Join up with the rest of the troops and advance towards the city!" The commander of the squad sat in an armored car next to him.

A squad of ten armored vehicles and two hundred infantry began to advance towards the nearest city.

Such a scene appeared around all the cities of the entire Mississi, and all the troops strangely did not encounter a single enemy soldier.

After more than an hour of traveling, a city of countless gray skyscrapers appeared before the eyes of the troops.

"None of the troops encountered any enemy, and the enemy may have retreated or taken refuge in the city."

"Request an orbital scan of the city ahead!" The commander of the squad connected the communications of the fleet.

"The fleet receives it, and in five seconds it will start scanning." There was a murmur over the communicator.

Immediately after, a visible curtain of light descended from the sky, scanning the entire city several times in sequence.

"Scan complete, message sending." The voice of the fleet communications officer sounded again in the communicator.

Seconds later, a hologram of the entire city appeared in front of the commander.

"All the residents are locked up in the buildings, is this to prevent us from using weapons of mass destruction?"

"Interesting." A smile of incomprehensibility tugged at the corner of the commander's mouth.

"Report to Command, a large number of civilians disguised by the enemy have been found in the complex ahead, request carpet bombardment!" The commander connected the communicator directly to the Air Force, which was responsible for assisting in the ground battle.

"Received by the Air Finger Division, carpet bombing of targets is about to begin!" As soon as the words fell, three triangular bombers with a wingspan of at least fifty meters swooped down from the clouds.

The bombers did not know exactly what they were going to bomb, and they were following the requests of the ground forces to attack.

As the three mushroom clouds slowly rose, the large cluster of buildings hiding tens of thousands of citizens and hundreds of orbital airborne troops was reduced to ashes.

There was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the commander who saw the building erased, it didn't matter to him what citizen, anyway, it wasn't a citizen of his country, although it was now said to be an alliance and a collective, but the lives of people in other countries were not in his eyes.

What's more, now that this place has lost contact with the outside world, the only people who can communicate with the outside world are their troops.

Even if he slaughtered civilians, all the truth has been turned into powder by bombs, and no one can prove what he did...
