The speed of the Empire's ground forces can be described as godfast, and with the support of the ships in orbit, the Empire's clone army completely occupied the entire planet in just three days.

By the time the doors of the underground vault center were reopened, the Federation soldiers standing at the sealed doorway had become the Empire's clone soldiers.

"Everyone raised their hands and lined up in a column to leave the shelter in an orderly manner."

"Any misdeeds will be regarded as a threat to be shot on the spot, and a joint and several system will be implemented, and all relatives within three generations of one person committing the crime will be executed!"

"As long as you follow our commands, we will not harm you!" Soon the sound of the Empire's translated radio was heard in the shelters.

Hearing the broadcast, these people also knew that their planet had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and they civilians were powerless to resist.

Soon, the people in the shelter slowly walked out of the door of the vault with their hands held high.

The men formed a long line, each with their heads bowed and silent, as if they were worried about their future fate.

The Empire's clone soldiers looked coldly at the citizens of the Federation as they walked out of the vault with rifles in hand.

The elderly, the sick, and the sick will then be taken to the city to become hostages to prevent the enemy from inflicting a devastating blow on the planet.

The more physical young men are sent to collect useful supplies from various cities, which will be loaded into the transports that the Empire has just captured in the planetary harbors, and all of them will be pulled back to the Empire's forward base.

At this time, the war between the Empire and the Federation on another planet of the Federation was in a state of white heat.

New Imperial forces were thrown on the surface of the new planet, ready to draw the main forces of the enemy away from the city.

This time, however, the Empire learned the lesson of the previous time, leaving ten warships in orbit to deal with sudden threats that might arise.

The Empire's ground landing operations were very successful, and the efficiency of capturing a planet was very high, with the Empire taking an average of ten days to capture a planet.

And that's when the Empire is taking several planets at once.

As the battle line continued to lengthen, the disadvantage of the empire was gradually exposed, that is, the number of warships was too small to spread out the battle line on a large scale, and it could only take a relatively concentrated attack method to launch a surprise attack on the federal defense line.

This also allowed the Federation to focus on deploying fleets based on this weakness, and the effectiveness of the Imperial fleet's capture of planets began to decline.

At this time, on the outskirts of the river system, where the Empire's First Advance Fleet had appeared, another fleet of 10,000 warships suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

As soon as the battleship arrived, the clones inside the battleship were activated, and they began to quickly instill memories.

As with the first advance fleet, their fleet flew to this river system in their memory, immediately following the first advance fleet of the Empire.

They are all citizens of the Empire, not tool clones with lifespan defects.

Along with these clones, an Imperial Commander has descended into the river system via an Advent of Consciousness device.

He will take over from the original clone commander and take control of the clone legion in the river system.

Soon, the fleet restarted its hyperspace engines and leaped into hyperspace toward the coordinates of the First Fleet.

A little more than a day later, the Second Advance Fleet appeared next to the First Advance Fleet.

"Eh, didn't you say that every year the empire will send a fleet to this river system, why is it that the second fleet has followed in the past month?" The commander of the First Fleet looked at General Fan, who came to replace him in the Second Fleet, with some confusion.

"After your fleet departed, Your Majesty felt that a fleet might be too alone, so he sent our fleet to support you the following month."

"Not only us, but behind our two fleets, there are eight more fleets that will arrive here one after another!" General Fan said with an unchanged face, this is the rhetoric he has prepared for a long time.

"Well, the command has been transferred!" The clone commander nodded, got up from his command chair and stepped down.

After being relieved of his duties as commander of the Imperial fleet, he was to serve as captain of a battleship, as well as a reserve commander.

"Our second fleet has brought the production facilities for the warships, and when these production facilities are deployed, we can build the warships directly in the forward base."

"Although the production is low, we at least have the ability to repair damaged ships." General Van comforted the captains of the fleet.

Hearing this, many captains breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that if their battleship was seriously damaged now, the entire battleship would be scrapped. And the number of warships is limited, they don't dare to use some bold tactics at all, and some short-range weapons have not been tested, and the feeling of being constrained is too embarrassing.

However, it was different when the second fleet arrived, and the shipbuilding facilities carried by the second fleet could repair the damaged hull for them, and they could finally fight freely.

After the eight thousand warships of the Second Fleet joined the First Fleet, the size of the Imperial advance fleet reached eighteen thousand.

After weighing them, General Van divided the eighteen thousand warships into three groups of six thousand warships each.

These three groups of warships, one group is responsible for harassing guerrilla tactics against enemy planets, and one group is responsible for frontal assault on the Federation's defenses.

The last group is responsible for defending the planets that have already been captured and preventing the Federation's fleet from counterattacking.

Just after the Empire's fleet had finished dividing its mission, the fleet of the Spiral Federation suddenly appeared in a star system not far from them.

These million warships are not the main warships of the Union member states, but the warships that they have eliminated.

The purpose of this fleet is simple, that is, to test the true strength of the Imperial fleet so that they can know themselves and their opponents.

Naturally, the Imperial Fleet would not be unable to discover such a large-scale fleet, but the Imperial Fleet did not know that these warships were converted into highly information-based decoy fleets.

The crew of this fleet was made up entirely of condemned prisoners, who were promised that if the war was won, they would be spared the death penalty and given their freedom.

When the prisoners heard that the death penalty could be waived, they knew that there would be danger, but they fought hard to regain their freedom, but they would never know that they would die and die, they were just outcasts to test the waters.

Eighteen thousand Imperial warships soon leapt into hyperspace and flew towards the fleet.

At this time, all the high-ranking officials of the Federation sat nervously in front of their respective projection equipment and watched.

Radar and optical acquisition equipment hidden on the asteroids around this fleet will send them back a composited, third-view view of the battlefield from the battlefield!
