The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2184: The Last Hope (Part )

Huang Yehao said: "It has been 183 years since now... Then those bodies controlled by Mnggal-Mnggal have completely decayed? Then what kind of enemy will we face?"

As a warrior who fought his way up from an ordinary soldier, reached the limits of humanity, and finally joined the Fourth Legion, surpassing the limits, every word Huang Yehao said was in preparation for the upcoming battle.

"Although the flesh will decay, Mnggal-Mnggal will still retain their basic structure. Mnggal-Mnggal does not wish to survive alone. All individuals devoured by it are its toys. It will not let the consciousness of the individual dissipate until it is tired of playing. Therefore, it needs to preserve the brain, and preserving the brain requires bones, limbs to support movement, basic channels to supply oxygen to the brain, and some muscle structure to maintain movement..." Vishal knew all these things about Mnggal-Mnggal. "Therefore, those Ciara people who have been devoured for nearly 200 years are most likely in the form of mummies."

"How long does it usually take for Monggal-Monggal to get bored of playing?" Huang Yehao asked again.

"That's uncertain. Some say thousands of years, while others say decades," Vishal replied. "The longest planet I know of was toyed with by Mnggal-Mnggal for 1174 years before all the entities on it decayed and destroyed. The surface of the planet was turned into a muddy swamp filled with Mnggal-Mnggal. In the last few decades of that planet, I witnessed the corruption of the planet..."

Shepard said quietly, "...I understand a little bit. You have seen the rise and fall of too many civilizations, so in your eyes, the intrigues among other Korok people are so childish and so petty..."

Vishal remained silent.

Shepard no longer dwelled on these things. She cheered up and said loudly, "There is no doubt that we are now facing a desperate situation. If we do not do something, we will have to follow Krakull and perish together! And on Krakull, there is no way to reverse this desperate situation. However, we must never give up! Krakull, located in the center of the Mnggar-Mnggar control zone, is the last bastion of intelligent civilization in front of Mnggar-Mnggar! Once it falls, we will need a long journey, purifying each planet one by one, and finally we can approach the core of Mnggar-Mnggar - Mugg-Faro... How many generations of efforts will it take? How many people will have to sacrifice? It is simply impossible to calculate!"

Huang Yehao, Sen Luo, Death, Ashley Williams, Kayden Alanco, Vishal, everyone looked solemn.

Shepard went on to say, "Before this last fortress falls, we must stop Mnggal-Mnggal! To achieve this goal, there are two things we can do now. First, let Dawn send people to explore the Rafa system immediately to find the secret of the Mind Harp! Second, send reinforcements here, even if we occupy it directly, we must protect Krakuul, the last pure land under the control of Mnggal-Mnggal! To do these two things, there is a common premise, which is to get in touch with the rear! Our only way now is the super communication base station on the planet Ciara! There, we will fight against an entire planet of Mnggal-Mnggal!"

Everyone nodded, their expressions still serious, but they did not flinch at all because they had to fight against a planet. Because here, in front of the God of Decay Mnggal-Mnggal, they were the last hope of intelligent civilization!

"Now, let's collect all available support and supplies as much as possible! Go and persuade the last two factions of the Korok people. If we can't convince them, then force them to surrender! This is our last resort!" Shepard said firmly.

"For the Fourth Civilization!" Huang Yehao said loudly.

"For the Fourth Civilization." Ghost Agent Senluo and Death also said in a deep voice.

"For...the planet Krakul!" Vishal said firmly.

Shepard nodded, walked over and patted everyone on the shoulder one by one, and said word by word: "For the civilization of the entire galaxy!"

……

Over the next few days, Shepard and her team once again began lobbying between the Pistols and the Elders.

As expected, the two factions rejected her plan as soon as they heard about it. Krakuer had been through a long period of civil war and lack of supplies, and was already very weak. They simply did not have the strength to organize such a large-scale cross-galaxy expedition.

Both factions have ships in good condition and with advanced technology that are capable of reaching the Ciara system, but in small quantities and they are all treasures that are kept in the bottom of their boxes.

But then, a dramatic scene occurred.

On the next day, before Shepard and the others got up, they immediately received a notice from the "Pistol" faction. They expressed their willingness to fully support this expedition and to send all thirteen of their best spaceships.

Not long after, the 'Elders' faction also expressed their willingness to support the expedition and agreed to send twenty spaceships.

Shepard was naturally very pleased with this situation. But Vishal sneered and said coldly: "They agreed not because they changed their minds, but because they wanted to gamble on the interference of the Principality of Dawn on you."

Ashley Williams sneered and said, "That's right. The Principality of Dawn is their last hope. If they don't support it now, then when the support from Planet Dawn arrives, the faction that doesn't support it will be the one that is suppressed."

Shepard didn't care. She smiled and said, "But the premise of this calculation is that they also think that being trapped on Kraku is just waiting for death. At least, there are still some people who want to fight to the end."

After a week of preparation, the Normandy was loaded with military supplies and set off together with the two factions of the Korok people, a total of 33 spaceships.

Target - Ciara Galaxy.

……

At the same time, in the capital of the Principality of Dawn, Planet Dawn.

"Francis Underwood submitted his resignation again?" Tang Xiao looked at the document in his hand with a cold expression, "Reject. He must solve this mess before he is qualified to talk about his future affairs."

"As you wish, sir." Helmut Zemo took the document with a satisfied smile on his face, then walked out backwards.

"General Ling, does the situation in Hutt Space require our direct intervention?" Tang Xiao asked the holographic projection of Ling Liang beside him.

"Not for now. But I have doubts about Oruba Gorensla's long report on victory," Ling Liang said.

"Oh?"

"The Angelica family has been too obedient..." (End of this chapter)
