After the collapse of the Human Union, the Calapuse system became a desolate, uncared for galaxy.

It wasn't until the rise of the Galactic Empire that it became lively again.

Every few hours, bright flashes erupt at the edge of the galaxy.

Huge fleets broke away from the vastness of subspace and entered the real universe.

They realign themselves in the void and then follow a predetermined course to transport goods and personnel to designated platforms.

A succession of cosmic ports and orbital defense platforms form an intricate three-dimensional defense.

Officers and officers from various space stations and fortresses are busy revitalizing these long-dormant monoliths.

The infrastructure work in Calapus is still ongoing, most of the fortress platforms have been restarted, and the associated wiring and energy sources have been repaired to ensure the normal operation of these giant fortresses, so that the gravitational field formed by them can form vortices in subspace, thus blocking the various shipping lanes of the subspace, forcing the enemy to pass through the real universe or detour to other areas.

In response to the remnants of the Covenant who had escaped, the Empire had invested vast resources in the Calapus system as part of the Great Wall Project.

The Great Wall Project is the most ambitious plan of the Galactic Empire, and the God Emperor plans to build one space station and fortress after another around the main subspace passages of the galaxy, blocking the subspace shipping lanes, intercepting enemies outside of subspace, or increasing the cost of enemy invasion of subspace.

Standing on the platform of a fortress, even though he had been transformed by the Storm Trooper technology and had a size far beyond others, Zhang Han was very small compared to these huge fortresses.

Compared with other fortress platforms, the platform he is on can be said to be relatively marginal, and he has a wider field of vision, and he can see everything outside more intuitively.

Standing there, you can see the vast void, the light from other galaxies, after traveling hundreds of thousands of light years, also faint because of the cosmic dust.

Calapuse is already on the edge of the Milky Way, and there may be some galaxies beyond that, but they are very rare.

There may only be one or two galaxies in the range of tens or even hundreds of light-years. Compared to the booming galaxy, it's not a concept at all.

However, outside of the galaxy, there are many wandering planets that are hidden in the dark, and those planets have no light and are polluted by the evil power of the subspace.

Those aliens hid on those planets, surviving.

Zhang Han stared at the vast void, he knew that those terrifying guys were in the vast and endless void, waiting for the human race to show its weakness and decay.

As soon as humanity shows signs of fatigue, they will inevitably take advantage of it again, just as they have done all the horrible evil they have committed.

Zhang Han has made an oath that he will definitely lead the army to encircle and suppress those aliens and monsters at some point in the future.

Destroy those enemies at all costs, so that humanity can rest easy.

"Legion Commander."

The voice of Captain William came from the communicator, which made Zhang Han wake up from his contemplation.

A projection appeared in front of him out of thin air, and it was the image of William inside.

"Is there something going on?". 、

"Everything is ready." "It's time for us to set sail." ”

"Where is the commander of the first company?" Zhang Han asked.

"He's with me."

"I'll go right over."

Zhang Han took one last look at the vast void, then turned his head and left, and several of the guards who followed him also left with him.

William is on the bridge of the Judgment Blade, and Zhang Han takes a shuttle from the fortress to the Judgment Blade.

As soon as I stepped out of the shuttle, I heard a sweet and glutinous voice.

"Welcome Brother Zhang Han, Brother Qian Lai, Brother Tius."

A projection appeared on the tarmac, and it was the cute Lori-Qiqi with short blue hair on the door of her head with rune paper pasted on it.

She easily called out the names of Zhang Han and the other guards, and called them brothers.

In terms of age, Zhang Han and others are only insignificant juniors of Qiqi.

However, Zhang Han was not bored enough to discuss these with an AI, not to mention the group of people behind him, all of whom were smiling so much that their eyes narrowed. Hearing someone's brother, the soul didn't know where to fly.

"Little Qiqi, do you miss Brother Reds?" Carrying an astonishing giant axe on his back and crawling with several centipede-like wounds crawling on his face, Reds smiled.

"I must have thought, a lot of brothers and sisters are gone, and now there are a lot less people on the ship." Qiqi said with some grievances, "Your Majesty doesn't like Qiqi!" Why let the brothers and sisters go. ”

"Qiqi is so cute, Your Majesty will definitely like Qiqi. But those older brothers and sisters have something to leave. Tius said.

"Talk less." Zhang Han interrupted the guys, and then looked at Qiqi, "Go and tell William that I will go to the bridge immediately and get ready to set sail." ”

Qiqi Nunu mouthed and grimaced, "I know, hmph, Brother Zhang Han always has an ice face, and there will definitely be no girls like it in the future." ”

After leaving these words, she dissipated, leaving only the smiling guards and the black-faced Zhang Han.

When they arrived at the bridge, William and the commander of the company, Julius, were talking, and when Zhang Han arrived, they stopped and saluted him.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Zhang Han waved his hand, signaling the two of them not to do this, and then took out a document of appointment with the seal of the Imperial Council and his autograph, "This is yours, Julius, you will be qualified to form a legion and become a legion master." But instead of forming an expeditionary force, you will be on a garrison mission to defend the Calapus system for the Empire, and you will no longer allow those aliens to invade the galaxy. ”

Julius took the letter of appointment, his face heavy, and he was not happy that he had been promoted.

"The Calapus system must be garrisoned, and it must be a strategic and strategic general to hold this place safely." Zhang Han pondered his words for a moment before he said slowly, "I know that this is very cruel to you, but when the other brothers are pursuing honor, I put you here to defend this desolate place." ”

Julius shook his head, "I'm not silent because I'm staying in Calapus, I'm just worried, afraid that I won't be able to do it, that I will fail the God Emperor, the Empire, and those brothers. I have been promoted to the leader of a legion, and in a way, the pinnacle of our honor, my lord, I have nothing more than to succeed in my mission. ”

"Do you really think so?" Zhang Han asked, "We are brothers, you don't have to hide it from me." With me, you can speak your mind without incurring any punishment or suspicion. ”

"Is there any great glory in the galaxy? The Imperial Expeditionary Force is invincible, crushing everywhere it goes, and the God Emperor will also go on an expedition again, and it is only a matter of time before the galaxy is unified. The real crisis of the empire is no longer within the galaxy, but beyond the galaxy. Our trials also come from outside, and my lord has placed me here, and I can only feel a snickering joy in my heart, because these frontier places will be the key to the struggle between the empire and the enemy. My only concern was whether I would be able to cope with the heavy test. ”

Zhang Han couldn't hear the slightest falsehood, and Julius was obviously thinking like this.

He immediately burst out laughing, "I put you here precisely because your command ability and strategic thinking are good enough. ”

After a final exchange, Julius left the Judgment Blade.

Not long after he left the Judgment Blade, the Second Expeditionary Force set sail. The scale is much smaller than when it arrived in Calapus.

None of the three expeditionary forces survived, and they were all dismantled by the Imperial Council to expand the size of the army and speed up the galactic expedition.

One by one, the company commanders of the Second Army were transferred away and became the heads of the new corps, the new expeditionary force, and until now, only Zhang Han and Julius remained.

After Zhang Han left, only Julius was left in the Calapus system. He will remain here and become the watchman of the Imperial Void Defenses.

On the bridge of the Judgment Blade, after leaping into subspace, Zhang Han summoned the expedition executives and began to discuss the expedition goal.

A huge projection hovered in the midst of them.

"That's the goal of our trip, and it's also home to the fourth lighthouse, which they call the Starr System on the Human Alliance's star map."

ps: Out of Yulin today, there are guests, there will be no eunuchs, no matter what, it will be written until more than two million words are over, everyone can watch it with confidence.
