What?You say His Majesty is a war criminal! !

Chapter 196 Tychus: Are we worth 50 yuan? ? ?

The defenders of the Folsom Galaxy are not weak.

The defenders have a battleship and two heavy destroyers, a fleet of twenty light cruisers and frigates, and eight armed space stations surrounding the planet fers02.

In addition to these forces, the Folsom System is only a five-day subspace voyage from the Tyranid Empire's military port-Melburg Port.

As long as the Folsom System is attacked, reinforcements from the Terran Empire will arrive within five days.

The metal catalysts and prisoners produced in this system are worth investing in these defenses.

No matter which one is taken away, the Tyran Empire will suffer losses and threats.

Especially those prisoners, many of whom are political prisoners, or guys like Tychus who intend to subvert the empire.

Tychus and his brothers organized several rebellions and spectacular heists that dealt serious blows to the Tyranid Empire.

His good brother Jim Raynor is still leading the rebellion against the Empire.

If it weren't for those greedy guys who wanted to continuously increase the production of planet Fers-02, Tychus would have been executed long ago.

Planet Fers-02 is a notorious prison with a very high death rate. Only the most vicious criminals will be exiled here.

Although the chaebols and families control the Tyranids, they cannot just send people to the planet Fers-02 to avoid being publicized by the pirates and rebels roaming around, further damaging the reputation of the Tyranids.

It is also very difficult to put people in the prison on the planet Fers-02.

It is precisely because of this that criminals like Tychus who should have been executed were sent here, leaving their lives to mine precious minerals for the Tyranid Empire.

Marshal Ke'atu is the supreme commander of the Folsom system's garrison fleet, and the Lava Beast is his flagship.

The name comes from a giant animal in his hometown that can live in lava.

In his homeland the beast was a symbol of strength and mental fortitude.

Keatu changed the name of the flagship to this name because he hoped that the ship would bring fear to people like those behemoths and make them awe of the authority of the empire.

Ketu was born into a noble family and was a member of the Rockefeller family.

This family is one of the founding heroes of the Terran Empire.

When the Human Alliance collapsed, they rose up to resist, dismantled the decadent rule of the Alliance with a Community of Shared Future for Mankind, and established the Tyranid Empire.

Although the Tyran Empire has an emperor as its ruler, those ancient families are the real controllers of the empire.

They control all walks of life in the Terran Empire, with their tentacles reaching every corner.

Every year, these super families hold meetings to discuss the political and economic situation of the empire.

The emperor listed the results of the meeting as an important reference, and even went so far as to obey his words.

This distorted power structure not only appears openly in the constitution of the Tyran Empire, but also appears in the basic education of the Tyran Empire.

In addition, these families also enjoy special protection rights and more convenient promotion channels.

Their descendants can more easily enroll in higher education or advance quickly in the military.

At the same time, marriages between these families were also carried out.

The intricate blood relationship is like a huge and indestructible network.

Through these means, they firmly controlled the entire empire.

Keatu didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Only the rich-hating, cynical losers and traitors would have a problem.

Several major families, including Rockefeller, worked hard to defeat the Human Alliance at that time and establish the Terran Empire.

What's wrong with enjoying it as their descendants.

The children of the noble Rockefeller family were born to be aloof. It was the factories they built that gave people a bite to eat, otherwise those people would have to starve to death.

Keatu never looked down upon those who secretly mocked and discussed him.

If you are born well, you will be able to inherit the family legacy.

If you don't accept it, you'll be reincarnated.

Ke'atu is very loyal to the Tyranid Empire.

When necessary, he would even sacrifice himself for it.

He understood that as long as the Tyran Empire was not destroyed, the children of the Rockefeller family would always be powerful men who had no worries and could get whatever they wanted.

Sacrificing oneself in exchange for the eternity of the family is a very worthwhile thing.

As long as every family member works hard enough, the Rockefeller family will always be above all the beings in the empire, overlooking those miserable ants like gods.

When the enemy appeared, Keatu climbed up from the belly of the beautiful female officer and came to the bridge to take command.

Ke'atu's identity and status are destined to have many women around him.

The beautiful female CEO of an interstellar enterprise, the dashing female officer, and the cute sister next door.

As long as he likes it, he can basically get it.

Who makes him the noble Rockefeller?

On the bridge, noisy prompts and shouts could be heard.

The ship's AI and crew are busy, screening and questioning the fleet that suddenly appeared, and at the same time preparing for war.

Through the observation window, Ke'atu could see the warships jumping out of the void. The engines on their tails were so bright that they could be seen clearly even from a distance.

This fleet of unknown origins is huge in number, and there is a magnificent war celestial body among them.

Their majestic momentum and the sense of oppression they brought made many Tyranid soldiers despair and lack the courage to resist.

The ship's insignia has never appeared in any Terran Empire archives.

There are spies and undercover agents among the major forces in the Koprulu sector.

No one has the ability to build such a fleet quietly.

Many sailors in the garrison fleet were depressed and lost their nerve.

They knew very well that that huge fleet only needed one strike to completely destroy the defenders of the Folsom System and kill them all.

[The hostile target is approaching us. Based on the current speed, it will only take 6 minutes to enter the attack range. 】

The AI ​​prompts echoed in the bridge.

"Be prepared to fire. We must defend the territory of the empire and never allow the enemy to trample on it." After Keatu shouted, he looked at the AI ​​next to him and said, "Come up with a tactic that can defeat the opponent."

Several officers nearby showed dissatisfaction.

Not to mention that the command is too amateurish and relies heavily on AI.

That such a person can become their commander shows that the Tyran Empire is hopelessly ill.

After the collapse of the Human Alliance, the Koprulu sector fell into chaos.

In order to compete for territory, various forces are fighting endlessly. In order to gain an advantage and break the ban of the former Human Alliance, the Terran Empire not only restarted the AI, but also launched clone soldiers.

Although they have been criticized and criticized by other forces, the improvement in strength brought by these two forces has forced other forces to break the ban in pursuit, and everyone is engaged in military competition.

The main operations of the ship are completed by AI, and the information integration and processing are also completed by AI. As the captain, Keatu only needs to issue orders.

This is also the reason why the top leaders of the Tyranid Empire are willing to let Ke'atu control this garrison fleet.

With the help of AI and many capable officers, Ke'atu is more than qualified for such a position.

To put it bluntly, any pig with some military knowledge can do it.

After all, most of the tactical strategies are calculated by AI and executed by experienced crew members.

The captain only needs to know how to check the one with the highest success rate.

[Our probability of victory is only 0.0215%. It is recommended to retreat and preserve our strength]

AI is not omnipotent either.

The disparity in strength between the two sides makes it impossible to win.

"What a piece of trash."

Keatu cursed under his breath.

He knew why he was in power, other than the Rockefeller family identity.

Another thing is that he is loyal enough.

The order given to him was to guard the Folsom System and guard the empire's property and the prisoners.

Then he has only two choices, the first is to hold on, the second is to die in battle.

Escape without orders would seriously trample on the consensus and bottom line of several major families.

The Tyran Empire is the foundation of several major families, and they have already reached a consensus to defend the Tyran Empire and their own foundation at all costs.

Letting family members rise to the top faster and control the allocation of various resources is to stabilize the basic market, not to destroy the market.

If you are not capable enough, you are still greedy for life and afraid of death. If you run away when the war starts, if you continue to live, wouldn't it be self-destruction?

Even if Keatu returns alive, he will lose everything.

Competition among family members is also fierce.

After all, reproductive technology is so advanced now that every family has no shortage of offspring, and there are a lot of people waiting to take over.

"Issue an inquiry to them, and at the same time send a warning to the port of Fort Mer to let them know that there are intruders here." Ke'atu withdrew his gaze and made a decision secretly. He had enjoyed it in his life, for his family and for the empire. Sacrifice is not unacceptable. If the other party insists on not replying, then wait until they enter the attack range and open fire. "

"Sir." The man next to him with tattoos and mechanical prostheses sounded a little horrified. "Our numbers are not enough to defeat them. The strength gap between the two is too big."

"Then we have to open fire too. It's because their scale is too large that we have to open fire in advance, otherwise they will fire a salvo and we will lose the ability to resist." Ke'atu withdrew his gaze and looked at the projection on the side. Showing a panoramic view of the entire Folsom Galaxy.

The unknown fleet was marked with red light spots, the number of which was extremely large, and the green light spots belonging to them were pitifully few.

Such a huge fleet is enough to change the balance of power in the Koprulu sector. Even if the Tyranid Empire fleet in Port Melbourne comes to support, I am afraid there is no way to defeat the opponent.

The enemy ships were still approaching, and when they were close to the firing range, they stopped and responded in standard human language.

"We are the first detachment of the Second Expeditionary Force of the Galactic Empire. Under the orders of the Holy Emperor, we trek across the stars just to pursue the unification of mankind and once again create the supreme glory of mankind."

"The human subjects scattered across the galaxy should unconditionally swear allegiance to the Holy Emperor and join the great cause of rebuilding the human territory. Humanity will surely rule the galaxy again and promote its destiny to unify the stars."

"Galactic Empire? The First Detachment of the Second Expeditionary Force!!" Upon hearing this, Keatu's face slowly became solemn and he muttered to himself.

The information revealed in these words means that there is by no means only one such fleet.

They are not the human forces in the Koprulu sector, but come from other places, and they also have many fleets of this size.

These guys passed through the Evernight Storm and did things that all the forces in the Koprulu sector couldn't do.

Thinking of this, Keatu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He had a premonition that this was a catastrophe that could destroy the country.

But at this stage, he had no choice, either to die in battle or to defend the dignity of the Tyranids.

The only hope now is that I am tough enough to make the other party stop, withdraw as a whole, and wait until reinforcements arrive from the port of Fort Merburg.

"What response should we give them?" asked the officer next to him.

"Tell them that this place belongs to the territory of the Tyran Empire and ask them to withdraw first and then negotiate."

Keatu's words made the officers next to him look slightly solemn.

They are not fools. They can also analyze things that Keatu can analyze.

The enemy is not traveling through the storm to play house with them.

Once this Galactic Empire fleet feels that the negotiations have broken down and there is no hope of peacefully obtaining the Folsom Galaxy, they will definitely open fire directly.

To buy time, wait for reinforcements, or understand the other party's intentions, negotiation is the best option.

"Such words are too strong, General Ke'atu. The enemy's warships far exceed ours." An officer reminded cautiously, "Maybe we should send some envoys to negotiate."

"As soldiers of the empire, we should always be prepared to sacrifice our lives for our country." Keatu slammed the table in front of him and swept his cold eyes across the crowd. "It is our honor to sacrifice our lives for the emperor. We can Death, but the territory of the Tyranid Empire will never be allowed to be violated. We must withdraw from the Folsom System, otherwise we will never negotiate."

No one applauded these words of vowing to defend their homeland to the death, and several high-ranking officers even turned pale.The second generation of the family killed people! !
Depend on! !

You think you are playing games and watching anime! !
Looking at the size of their fleet, they already have an absolute advantage.

Under such circumstances, the other party's failure to open fire immediately is an expression of intention, hoping that both parties can negotiate peacefully.

Otherwise, a round of torpedoes and light spears would have been launched, setting off fireworks for the boring Folsom Galaxy.

Seeing that they could not persuade the general, several high-ranking officers sighed lightly.

The corresponding content was sent.

Unsurprisingly, the other party refused and spoke tough, demanding that the fleet of the Folsom system surrender immediately and unconditionally.

"The highest mission of the Galactic Empire is to liberate mankind across the galaxy, create a more glorious human civilization, and fight against various crises in the universe. Please give up your resistance. We don't want to cause any unnecessary casualties. You have no chance of defeating us. You guys You have one hour to consider whether you will join the Holy Emperor's great cause of unifying the galaxy or be destroyed."

"Fire." After seeing the reply, Ke'atu immediately shouted, "For the honor of the Tyranids, we will resist until the last moment."

The next second, Keatu felt a pain on the back of his neck, then his vision went dark, and he fell softly.

Everyone showed surprise and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Thrawn who knocked out his boss with a knife.

"Thawn, you're like this." Dixon, a colleague and friend on the side, showed a hint of surprise. He had never thought that his friend would dare to do such a thing.

"I didn't join the Tyranid Empire Navy to die in vain. Such a battle is meaningless. All warships are not allowed to fire. Let's send people to negotiate."

Thrawn glanced at Ke'atu who fell to the ground and issued a new order on his behalf.

Everyone looked at each other, but for the sake of their own lives, they still chose to do it.

It was Thrawn who hit his boss, and he was the one who asked for negotiations.

They just obeyed orders and survived.

Even if we want to hold them accountable, they can't be held accountable. Why not do it if they can still live! !
Even those officers who supported Keatu and wanted to embrace the Rockefeller family did not speak.

If they followed Keatu's orders, their families would probably have to argue with the Terran Empire government over their pensions.

The finances of the Tyran Empire are already tight, and it is still unclear whether they can receive this pension.

It's just a hug, there's no need to risk your life.

"Put him in the room." Thrawn said to the two soldiers next to him. "I will take responsibility for this matter myself."

Two soldiers dragged Aktu away.

Thrawn walked to the observation window and looked at the Galactic Empire warships with light emitting from their tails.

He joined the Terran Empire Navy to climb up step by step, not to die.

Now this fight is a fight to the death.

There is no chance of winning.

Once fired, the opponent can destroy them within minutes.

Staying alive is better than anything else. If the Tyran Empire can't stay any longer, there are still other forces to go to.

Being a pirate is better than dying here for the Tyranid Empire.

Thanks to Thrawn's efforts, the battle did not break out and the other party agreed to peace talks.

The Folsom Galaxy Guard Fleet sent several high-ranking officers as envoys to the Galactic Empire's fleet for a goodwill visit.

Thrawn is among them.

No matter what, he will try to survive.

He hasn't made any achievements yet, and he hasn't married yet, so he can't just die like this.

The meeting place was arranged on the war celestial body.

The transport boat passed those majestic and huge battleships and saw the artillery and energy towers on those battleships. Thrawn was extremely lucky to have knocked Keatu unconscious and prevented the void war that might break out.

Because that is just a meaningless sacrifice, and they will change nothing except becoming space junk floating in the void.

The military strength of the Galactic Empire is extremely terrifying. The Folsom Galaxy and even the port of Fort Merburg may not be able to defeat this fleet from the Galactic Empire.

To exaggerate even further, the Tyranids may not even be able to win.

Unless the forces of the entire Koprulu sector unite, it is possible to defeat the Galactic Empire.

The transport boat slowly landed on a raised platform on the war celestial body.

A welcome team was already lined up waiting for them.

They are tall and majestic, and when wearing armor, they look like little giant warriors arranged in a square formation.

The aura they give off makes people shudder.

The general standing at the front gave people a scalp-tingling aura.

When seeing the other person, a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood will vaguely appear in his mind.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of killing it took to create such an existence.

"I will be crushed to death by them." Dixon said cautiously behind Thrawn, "What kind of madman can create such a terrible war weapon."

"Say a few words."

Thrawn scolded his companion in a low voice to stop him from continuing to talk nonsense.

This is on the opponent's battleship, and it is not a good thing to be heard by the other party by talking nonsense.

When Thrawn and others came down, the general came up to them.

"I am the commander-in-chief of this squadron and the leader of the Second Expeditionary Force - Bai Qi."

Bai Qi looked down at these people. Their bodies were equally strong and full of muscles, but in front of the legion soldiers, they were as thin as ants.

"I am the representative of the Folsom system defenders, Lieutenant Colonel Thrawn." Thrawn tried his best to suppress the fear and anxiety in his heart, straightened his spine, and introduced to the other party, "We are here for peace." "

"We are also for peace." Bai Qi smiled, "Otherwise, you are all corpses now. Are you willing to surrender to the supreme holy emperor? Lieutenant Colonel Thrawn."

"We know nothing about you." Thrawn said tremblingly, "Perhaps we should give some time to promote understanding between the two parties, and at the same time ask our superiors for instructions."

"I'm asking you, Commander Thrawn. The Galactic Empire doesn't have time. There are still many people in this universe who are suffering. You choose to surrender and then join our team, or you choose to resist and we kill you all."

Thrawn's eyes widened. He had never seen such a negotiation method! !

In other words, the Galactic Empire has no intention of talking to the Tyranid Empire, but plans to fight all the way.

The defenders along the way either surrendered or were crushed.

"Since you are unwilling to talk to the Terran Empire, why are you willing to give us time to think about it?" Thrawn looked puzzled.

"We are fighting to protect humanity. You should have the opportunity to understand the truth and make a choice. We are here for you, not for those hypocritical kings. Their loyalty has no meaning to our emperor, and our emperor will not retain it. their power and status.”

Whether the rulers of the Terran Empire surrendered or not did not change the fact that they would be stripped of their power.

The Galactic Empire has completed its initial accumulation and no longer needs to compromise like before.

At present, internal rectification has begun.

Those who join the Galactic Empire later will never be able to get the favorable conditions they enjoyed before.

Those rulers or families only have two choices.

Either give up everything and survive, or be wiped out by the empire.

"Are you willing to lay down your weapons and fight for the unity of mankind? Lieutenant Colonel Thrawn, are you willing to fight for those who are suffering, so that they can escape from hell and return to a civilized and rational society."

Thrawn looked into Bai Qi's eyes, and he didn't see any lies.

What the other party said was true.

The Galactic Empire doesn't care whether the Tyranid Emperor will be loyal or not, they just give those confused and ignorant people a choice.

"Is it okay?" Thrawn was a little shaken, "Will you really accept us and won't hand us over in order to make the Tyranids compromise?"

Thrawn's defeat of Ke'atu will not end easily.

The other party is the distinguished Rockefeller.

If the other party deliberately retaliates, he has only one option: fleeing the Terran Empire and living in the territory of other forces.

But if he joins the Galactic Empire, he will have a new beginning.

"Of course not. As long as you are willing to swear allegiance, you are loyal subjects of the Galactic Empire. You don't have to worry about the revenge of the Tyran Empire that is about to collapse."

The negotiations went on for a long time, and Thrawn finally agreed to the conditions of the Galactic Empire, took all the defenders of the Folsom Galaxy into the arms of the Galactic Empire, and revealed the situation at the Tyran Empire's Fort Merburg port to Bai Qi.

A large number of the military forces of the Tyranids were gathered at the port of Fort Mer, and the person in charge there was Marshal Gamelin Bennett of the Tyranids.

Being able to climb to that position depends not only on his family, but Gamelin's military commanding ability is also very outstanding.

Known as one of the top ten famous generals in the Koprulu Sector.

Gamelin is absolutely loyal to the Terran Empire and there is no possibility of persuading him to surrender.

The only way to reduce the fighting as much as possible is to behead people.

Kill Gamelin, crush the resistance, and then have the local forces surrender.

Bai Qi and others also had to be fast enough, because Keatu had already sent a request for help before.

The other party knows the strength of the Galactic Empire and will definitely not support it. Instead, it will abandon the Folsom Galaxy and gather at the port of Fort Merle. At the same time, it will seek reinforcements from other regions to fight against the Galactic Empire.

Once the reinforcements arrive at the port of Fort Merburg, they can only fight a meat-and-blood battle.

A strategic meeting was quickly held. Relying on the superior military system of the Galactic Empire, the Second Expeditionary Force quickly came up with several war plans and adopted the best one among them.

In addition, the prison planet Fers02 held a large number of prisoners who tried to challenge the authority of the Tyranid Empire, and their treatment was placed on the conference table.

Under normal circumstances, they should continue to serve their sentences in prison.

But someone put forward a different view.

"Although they are prisoners in the prison, it does not mean that they are bad people. From the information Thrawn provided us, we can see that the Tyran Empire, including the entire Koprulu sector, is in decay and chaos. Giant companies and families The forces are hidden behind the scenes, launching various wars for their own interests, wasting the lives of low-level humans at will, and breaking the bottom line of AI, human cloning, etc." Simmond, who is Bai Qi's personal guard, said with disgust, " Don’t forget the original Liberty City, every one of us is a bad person who should be put in jail.”

"Smond's words are correct." Bai Qi agreed. "Those families control the law. They can more easily study in higher education institutions or be promoted quickly in the army. Look at the generals who defended the army this time. , Ketu Rockefeller, his military qualities are extremely poor, but he became the supreme commander of a fleet, and almost caused a conflict between us and the defenders. Apart from his family background, I really can’t think of him. How did you get promoted to this position?"

"Imagine that even such a position has been controlled by family forces. What is the difference between the Koprulu Sector and the original Free City?! Apart from committing crimes, how can those people get rid of the problems that have enveloped them since birth? Shackles. If there is a gambling game where one family only wins but never loses, and does not allow others not to play, then it is legitimate for them to flip the table."

"The Galactic Empire's war on the galaxy is not only to expel alien races, but also to break the shackles imposed on people. What we want to fight for is always the general public, not their rulers. Therefore, those prisoners should be given a chance to be reborn and will Form them into an army, and let them wash away their sins in battle for the Holy Emperor."

Bai Qi gave those prisoners in the prison a chance.

Let them fight for the Holy Emperor.

They can get out of jail if they want to.

If you don't want to, you will continue to be detained.

Tychus never imagined that he would ever be released from prison.

The garrison fleet surrendered to the Galactic Empire, and all prisoners got a chance.

They will be hired by the Empire to become members of the Koprulu Atonement Corps.

"You will receive standard imperial combat uniforms and a daily salary of 50 imperial coins. After your loyalty is proven, you can enjoy the normal treatment of the imperial army and get the freedom you desire."

The recruiting officer said to the many prisoners gathered in a wide area.

The Galactic Empire does not have the time and energy to review the authenticity of those criminals one by one.

Either choose to fight for the Holy Emperor and die for the great cause of mankind, or die of old age on the planet fers02.

Tychus chose the first one, he would rather die on the battlefield than in prison.

He walked up to the recruiting officer, signed his name, and complained, "So, we're only worth 50 yuan??"

"If you want to make yourself worth more, prove it instead of asking me." The recruiter from the Galactic Empire replied expressionlessly.

　Chapter 1, Seven Thousand and Five, in the next chapter, the Tyranid Empire troops blasted the port of Fort Mer, and Renault had to wait a long time before he could show up.
