Him and their stars

This is indeed a good thing to say, but in fact, the resistance of these predators is indeed meaningless.

You know, just ten minutes before they launched a desperate bombardment against the Imperial fleet in orbit, the last Predator warship was torn into pieces by intensive gunfire.

Once a planet loses the protection of the fleet in orbit, it is pointless to face attacks from the orbital air-to-ground by the Imperial fleet, including Titan ships, even if it uses anti-air firepower to turn the entire planet's surface into a hedgehog. Just a death struggle.

A normal person would have surrendered at this point.

There is a saying that although the empire is full of martial virtue, it does not discriminate against those who understand the situation and the general trend when they are running out of ammunition and food, and lay down their weapons and surrender. The war has reached this point, and they are not prepared to drive out all the plunderers. Within the vast territory of the empire, there are many mines and farms that are short of labor. They have already prepared enough jobs for them to be very fulfilling in the rest of their lives.

But the other party was unwilling to believe and surrender, so of course the imperial fleet had no choice but to fulfill their bravery. This may also be part of martial ethics.

The officers and soldiers of the empire looked at this white planet covered with glaciers, completely covered in terrifying scarlet and filthy blackness, without any disturbance in their hearts. They all know that this is just the inevitable sound and light effect of the chemical reaction between the high thermal energy of thermonuclear weapons and the atmosphere. In no more than half a year, these dazzling stains will slowly dissipate. Subsequently, the resting and melting glaciers will change the appearance of the entire surface, and even form "natural" rivers, lakes and seas.

At that time, the best we can do is put a few artificial "suns" in low-Earth orbit and slightly adjust the temperature and climate, and we will be able to harvest a comfortable and livable planet.

Of course, more than 90% of the native species on the planet will be completely extinct, but this can be regarded as a high-quality and cheap planet transformation, and it will not even make the imperial captains who carry out the bombing hesitate for a second.

Compared to the "evolving" icy Earth-like planet, the Empire was more concerned about the newly sunk Predator warship. After repeated confirmations, the staff immediately reported to Brunhildt that all the dreadnoughts, large flamethrowers, and even work ships and immigration ships that had passed through the Gate of Glory had been destroyed or captured. .

Or to put it further, starting from today, all the large predator ships that appeared in the databases of galactic nations in the past forty years can be regarded as history.

The war has developed to this point. Of course, there are still a few small predator ships playing hide and seek with the coalition fleet, but starting from today, the coalition command can already declare the final victory to the Galactic Civilization Council.

By this time, the officers and soldiers were already qualified to open champagne to celebrate at their posts on the ship. Even the most harsh military judge would turn a blind eye at this time.

In fact, across the DL182 galaxy fifty light years away, the main fleets of the Community and the Empire, who were still on the front line, had started getting together ten days ago. That was also the day they won the fleet battle.

That battle was called the "Battle of the Condemned" in later history books. Brunhildt used the general flagship Angel of Dawn as bait, forcing the opponent to mobilize all ships that could still carry out a decisive battle.

The Great Khan opposite may have guessed King Suliuka's intention, but she was at the end of her rope and had no choice but to gamble again, betting on the one-ten thousandth chance that the opponent would overturn.

We all know what happened next. Imperial warships came one after another from all directions, blocking the last remaining resistance of the predators. This was the largest fleet battle in the entire "Great Crusade War". After lasting for more than ninety hours, almost all the battleships present were sunk by the Predators, including the Great Khan Tomitelina. The famous Ark of the Ancestors.

The results are not surprising. The predators have even equipped oversized colonial ships and work ships with weapons and sent them to the front line, but we also know that this kind of giant ship, which was barely put together by the green skin style and I Xunsi, is full of mixed space wastelands. Wind, heavy in action and fragile in structure. This kind of ship can safely pass through the jump channel, which is the result of the hard work of the predators and masters in the galaxy.

But now being pushed onto the battlefield, isn't this the same as having untrained peasants armed with pitchforks and hoes forced to fight against heavily armed knights?

Once the Marauders failed to sink the Angel of Dawn before reinforcements arrived, they had no chance of victory.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Brunhildt has no need to increase losses in order to win quickly, and has chosen a steady and steady strategy. Under successive sieges by the coalition fleet that was four times its own size, the Predator fleet's resistance was tenacious but desperate, and could not even bring enough damage to the enemy.

By the time the battle was over, the coalition forces even found the corpses of more than 200,000 predator soldiers among the wreckage of countless predators.

It is estimated that in fleet decisive battles, the proportion of those who died without intact corpses usually accounts for more than 80% of the battle dead. This means that the predators at least killed millions of people in this battle.

Considering the performance statistics since the Great Crusade, it is basically certain that the Marauders have completely depleted their manpower. If they didn't still have some influence in the "nomadic zone" of their hometown in Galactic Center, it could even be considered that the three major predator races, the Ero people, trolls and long-bearded demons, have been structurally extinct.

In short, Admiral Farrell of the Empire and Admiral Connors of the Community even held a banquet on the bridge of the Independence. One is to celebrate the victory of the Great Crusade, the other is to make up for the belated New Year celebration for everyone, and the third is to talk to each other... well, to discuss the future of this unnaturally fertile Dawn Star Territory.

This is of course also to reach a consensus in advance.

After all, we have formed a friendship as strong as blood in this great expedition, and we must cherish it.

As a result, the senior generals of the two armies at the banquet were chatting and laughing happily. Even the generals of the Cirke Kingdom held their noses and clinked glasses with the Astral Knights. It is indeed a harmonious scene where all the civilizations in the galaxy are united.

However, Brunhildt himself, as the frontline commander of the empire, could not let go.

She did not find the body of the Great Khan Tomiteli in the wreckage of the destroyed Ark of the Ancestors.

"She just failed in her gamble. This does not mean that her strategy failed. This is a decisive and ruthless opponent. If I can't see her body, I won't be able to sleep." Brunhildt said this.

"Have you never considered that she has perished along with the Ancestral Ark? In the universe, the possibility of her body being wiped out is really too high," Ostana said.

"I hope so. However, the bridge of the Ark of the Ancestors was not badly damaged. We found the bodies of most of the bridge commanders on it, but not Tomitelli herself. Isn't this a coincidence? Yes, she is a psyker, where is her zero element? Where is the holy relic of the Enlightened One that she carries?"

Strictly speaking, this statement actually sounds like a free-spirited statement, but everyone knows that once His Royal Highness King Suliuka becomes stubborn, he rarely listens to what others say. This reason was actually enough for her to start taking action.

Therefore, Brunhilt left the diplomatic situation to Admiral Farrell, and took the Dawn Angel and all the high-speed battleships of the Imperial Army to continue searching for the remaining enemies.

Fortunately, everyone quickly intercepted the last battleship of the Marauders here. Brünnhilt's staff believed that if the Great Khan really escaped, it was very likely that she would be on the battleship.

However, the outpost led by Giafel and Nelhana landed on the knights, and then they received bad news.

"The body of the Great Khan Tomiteli was not found."

Brunhilt's face fell. She felt that if the Great Khan was not captured or killed, her series of military actions after the battle would be meaningless. From this perspective, her majestic King Suliuka may not be any better than those soldiers who were flattened by neutron bombs.

"Searching through mountains and seas like this is not the way to go. If she really escapes and disappears, looking for a person in such a vast universe is not about finding a needle in a haystack, but about finding a bacterium in the haystack. However, if she is really that dangerous, she will always She will appear in our sights." Ostana pondered for a moment and said: "Anyway, she has lost all her troops and people. Even if she can appear again, she won't be more able to deal with it than she is now, right? Moreover, it’s not like we don’t have other clues.”

Brunhild glanced at the other party lukewarmly, and then understood: "You mean, snake?"

"From your... uh, the information we obtained from General Yulian of the Community, we can confirm that the Predator and the Snake are working closely together." Ostana said: "Compared to a missing Eero Khan , the real smuggler is always easier to find.”

Brunhild nodded expressionlessly, but did not continue talking about this issue.

At this time, Giafel, who was on the wreckage of the enemy ship ahead, sent another message. This time it should be considered positive news.

"We are restoring the enemy ship's database, and have already restored part of the voyage log. There is a jump record, and its coordinate information is brand new."

Before King Suliuka gave the order, Miss Chief of Staff had already opened the holographic star map, found DL186 based on the information sent from the front line, and then marked the light spots on the entire galaxy map based on the transition.

"There is a gravity well entrance here, which is indeed undiscovered." Ostana said.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is the Devil's Labyrinth! There are three to four thousand battleships gathered in this star field, and the number of various military personnel is almost nine figures. The high-intensity battle has lasted for more than half a year, but there are still no discoveries. The galaxy and jump channel." Brynhilt smiled: "I heard that this place will be renamed the Dawn Star Territory soon? Hahaha, such a glorious and correct name sounds like a third-rate ancient costume. Drama. Doesn’t it turn out to be more appropriate?”

"When you become the emperor, you can try to change it back." Ostana said casually: "Then, do you want to go and have a look? However, I do not rule out the possibility of a trap."

Brynhildr nodded: "The entire fleet will repair for two hours and then set off here. Report this situation to the Demon's Throat... Bah, the headquarters of the Unity Fortress. Also, to Farui of the Vulcan. Your admiral sent a letter, ordering him to prepare for the response."

Ostana said "the possibility is not ruled out", but the subtext is that the possibility is very low.

Besides, even if there is a trap, Brunhildt will not change his order. She really wanted to see if the enemy could prepare any shock for her after being forced to this point. More importantly, this is a new continent, and there are unclaimed lands everywhere. It has been a convention for thousands of years since the Age of Interstellar Discovery that whoever discovers the galaxy first will have priority to develop it.

This Dawn Star Territory is unnaturally fertile. Who knows if there is a Gaia hidden in that unknown new galaxy? This is actually worth the risk for her as an elected emperor.

I don’t think I’m so bored that I’m looking for something to do. Absolutely not! she said to herself.

After a short period of rest, the Dawn Angel left behind the corpses of its own system and began its rapid march again with nearly a hundred intact high-speed battleships. This time, there was no enemy again. It took less than seventy hours to pass through the newly discovered jump entrance and arrive at a brand new galaxy.

If the temporary naming regulations are followed, this place should be temporarily named the DL288 galaxy.

When they escaped from the gravity well passage, the battle-experienced Imperial Army soldiers were already ready for battle. The detector on the ship immediately captured the mass model of a mature star.

Through the porthole, Brunhildt had already felt the warm and holy white, which was where the star was.

A very typical stable star, even the light is as stable as a light bulb that just left the factory. King Suliuka was neither sad nor happy, and his mentality was also very stable.

If it were in the Milky Way or elsewhere in the New World, the emergence of such a star would most likely be accompanied by an Earth-like planet that could be transformed. No matter what, there would definitely be resource planets. Although such a discovery would not warrant a banquet for the explorers, it would be enough to open a bottle or two of champagne.

However, this Dawn Star Territory is too abnormal. Here, the discovery of a stable star in its youth is not news; the discovery of a star that is raging or collapsing is news.

Brünnhilt just waited calmly, watching calmly as the Angel of Dawn dispatched twelve of its latest unmanned probes, sailing in the direction of the star.

However, her calmness only lasted a short time.

Three minutes later, when she heard the report from her subordinates that "there are no planets here," she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise: "There are no planets here? Sir, do you know what you are talking about?"

"There is indeed no planetary model feedback here!" The radar officer also looked surprised, even shocked to the point of being skeptical, but still pretended to be calm and replied: "But, Your Highness, this galaxy is not empty. Ours On the detector, this was found..."

Appearing on the holographic screen was a ring-shaped object orbiting the entire planet, with a faint silvery glow flowing through it. At first glance, it seems as if the white sun is covered with a thin halo.

Everyone knows that that is the timely picture of the detector being launched.

Then, as the detector moved forward, the picture became clearer. At this time, everyone realized that the brilliance was not a star phenomenon, but was clearly sunlight reflected by artificial creations.

The entire "halo" that surrounds the entire sun and covers the entire orbit of the planet is clearly a complete and huge artificial creation.
