Chapter 79: Pre-Battle Mobilization
Chapter 79: Pre-Battle Mobilization
Twenty-nine days later, the Alpha Fleet arrived near the rotating twin black hole system and hid in the Klein hyperspace. Lefia, Zhou Yuan, and the others saw that a large number of Star Luo Empire fleets had already gathered near the rotating twin black hole system. Lefia wanted to show herself immediately, but Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan stopped her, telling her to wait and not be impatient.
The next day, many more fleets rushed over. Zhou Yuan counted them and found there were about 75 fleets, roughly half the number that had collectively invaded the Earth Empire.
When Lefia's captivating smile appeared on the holographic video, the Star Luo people gasped in amazement, shouting "Long live the princess!" Lefia then launched into a passionate and eloquent speech. Zhou Yuan couldn't help but admire Lefia's eloquence; this hot girl was truly remarkable when she got serious.
To demonstrate her approachability, Lefia disregarded Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan's advice, forcing them to accompany her. Wei Shan personally piloted a small warship, carrying the two of them to the Star Luo warships.
Although the Star Luo people had already received the princess's order not to harass the Earth Empire, the appearance of the small warships still caused a small disturbance, but it quickly subsided.
"Brothers and sisters, come with me. From now on, in this galaxy, we will have our own home and our own allies. We will no longer have to hide."
As soon as Lefia finished speaking, more than a dozen large portals emerged from the hidden space in front of the small warship. The small warship first passed through one of the portals and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Without hesitation, the Star Luo fleet also passed through more than a dozen teleportation portals, instantly arriving at the center of the nine Earth-like planets, near the Sun, a star. These nine Earth-like planets are all of similar mass and volume, evenly distributed in a common orbit around the Sun, with the same orbital period and rotational period.
Although Lefia already knew from Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan that the Earth Empire would arrange new homes for her subordinates, she had no idea what a magnificent sight it was. Like her subordinates, the Star Luo people were stunned and naturally extremely grateful.
The Star Luo people also detected several Earth-like planets near several stars. In particular, one of these planets was surrounded by countless large warships. This was the planet Tiancan, the headquarters of the Earth Empire's fleet. Tiancan possessed a lunar super fortress and many space cities.
"Brothers and sisters, these nine planets orbiting the sun in sync are a generous gift that the Earth Empire recently moved from elsewhere and modified, and is giving to us for free. These nine Earth-like planets will be our beautiful home in the future."
"Long live the princess! Long live the Earth Empire!" It was clear that these Star Luo people were extremely excited. Their five hundred years of wandering in the stars were finally coming to an end. They had a new home that was the most beautiful and magnificent in the Milky Way. They were proud of this, and their respect for the princess and the Earthlings was even greater.
Under Lefia's high prestige and strong leadership, these Star Luo people, apart from the soldiers guarding the warships, were resettled in batches on these nine planets. Earth humans not only built accommodations, offices, and infrastructure for them, but also equipped them with a large number of industrial robots and service robots.
Three days after arriving at their new home, all Star Luo people held a national conference and elected Princess Lefia as their supreme leader. At Lefia's initiative, all Star Luo people swore an oath to ally with Earth's humans and submit to the leadership of the Earth Empire. The leaders of the Earth Empire's three major organizations, Thomas (Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Fleet), Joss (Head of the Imperial Star Bureau), and Kofi (President of the Imperial Academy of Sciences), delivered enthusiastic holographic video speeches to all Star Luo people.
From then on, the Star Luo Empire fleet led by Lefia had increasingly close ties with the Earth Empire, gradually changing itself, learning from Earth's humans, and aligning itself with the Earth Empire in everything it did. Later, it also made close contact with the inhabitants of other planets of the Earth Empire, such as Alien Star, Gesang Star, and Yama Star, becoming a new member of the Earth Empire.
Two months after the Star Luo people landed on their new home on nine planets, 30 support fleets from the Lunar Empire in the Triangle Galaxy arrived at the Earth Empire's fleet headquarters.
The Earth Empire naturally held a grand welcoming ceremony.
The star of the pre-war mobilization advertisement, our Princess Lefia, speaks eloquently, passionately, and with boundless charm. Accompanied by a large Imperial fleet and a majestic song, beautiful women, warships, teleportation portals, and neutron stars all appear. Everyone can't help but wonder, what element is missing? It turns out, it's the hero! Thus, an Imperial pre-war mobilization promotional video that summons heroes was born.
It has to be said that, thanks to the planning of the Empire's two darlings, Aya and Lefia, more and more people are signing up to join the army. If it weren't for the Imperial Fleet setting up a threshold, even so many warships probably wouldn't be able to contain the boundless enthusiasm of these people.
The Military Intelligence Department under the Imperial Fleet Headquarters was extremely busy, screening and selecting applicants for military service, and then transferring qualified candidates to the Special Training Department for various physical and weapons training. The assessment also included physics and astronomy knowledge.
The Earth Empire's massive war machine began to operate, and warships were manufactured in batches and delivered to fleet headquarters.
The scientists at the Imperial Academy of Sciences were working day and night, tirelessly researching how to achieve ultra-long-range precision strikes against stars, even neutron stars. They simulated and assessed defensive strategies against stellar attacks like those against the Large Magellanic Cloud and other potential contingencies.
The armory storing neutron war stars also became busy, with many neutron war stars being moved to the expeditionary fleet.
The Star Luo people naturally displayed great enthusiasm and high spirits. They inherently possessed a fighting spirit and a desire for conquest. Fueled by their princess Lefia's emotional war mobilization propaganda, everyone was fired up, eager to immediately take up their posts on warships and fight the enemy to the death.
The Imperial Fleet Headquarters was surprised to discover that the number of Star Luo people who registered and qualified was the highest among the total population of their respective planets, followed by the Gesang people and the Yama people. This might be related to their previous environment and conditions. The primitive humans of Earth, perhaps having mastered advanced technology and consciousness field abilities, had neglected their physical abilities, which alarmed the three major organizations of the Earth Empire, prompting them to decide to take measures to compensate for this in the future.
Zhou Yuan was naturally overwhelmed by Aya and Lefia's antics. Aya alone was already enough, but Lefia had to join in the fun and prank Zhou Yuan with Aya.
Zhou Yuan had no choice but to contact the elf Lylas and drag Wei Shan along to the Alien Star to begin "secluded cultivation" there.
Lylas was indeed formidable. Having spent nearly 260 years at the Imperial Academy of Sciences' "Quantum of Consciousness," his magical abilities were naturally extraordinary. Lylas imparted his various techniques to Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan. Zhou Yuan, with his superior comprehension compared to Wei Shan, learned very quickly and grasped many "methods." Flight, teleportation, invisibility, mind reading, telepathy, and summoning lightning were mere trifles. Under Lylas's meticulous guidance, Zhou Yuan even later became able to control the thoughts and objects of others with his mind. Only now did Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan realize how powerful consciousness and will truly were. Zhou Yuan could explain all of this scientifically, but the actual application of these superpowers by an individual truly depended on their innate talent.
Zhou Yuan had finally had a month of peace and quiet when Lefia unexpectedly came to the planet of superpowers and showed up at his door. Zhou Yuan gave Wei Shan and Lylas a wry smile.
This was the first time Lefia had ever seen an elf, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.
"Princess Lefia, do you really like Dean Zhou?"
"How did you know I was Lefia? Can you communicate with spirits?" Lefia asked, somewhat surprised.
"How should I know? It's your war mobilization propaganda video."
"Oh, how is it? Not bad, right?" Lefia smiled mischievously. "By the way, how did you know I like Zhou Yuan?"
"Princess, you've come all this way to the Planet of Extraordinary Abilities, surely it's for me, not for him?" This Lylas was quite witty.
Lefia chuckled a few times, and Wei Shan couldn't help but find it amusing, while Zhou Yuan was left aside.
"I have other matters to discuss with you this time."
"Hmm, let me think. You notified him to report to fleet headquarters twice!"
"Wow, you know that too? That's strange." The little girl's eyes widened in surprise. "Then tell me, where was I five hundred years ago?"
"Five hundred years ago? In a cave on a planet in the Canis Major star system!"
"Wow, you're amazing! Teach me!" Lefia exclaimed, intrigued.
"I dare not teach you, otherwise Dean Zhou will punish me, and I'll be in big trouble."
"If he doesn't want to teach me, he doesn't care. I just want to know if he cares about me."
"Princess, yes, yes."
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?" Lefia seemed very happy.
Zhou Yuan thought to himself that if things continued like this, Lylas would be spouting nonsense from who knows where.
"Shanmei, let's go. Lylas, we're leaving now."
"Hey, wait for me. Lylas, teach me later." With that, Lefia quickly caught up with the two.
"Sister Shan, what have you been doing this past month?"
“Learn from Lylas.”
"Sister Shan, then please teach me."
“Yes, Princess, but I’m not very quick to learn and I haven’t learned much. You can learn from Brother Zhou.”
"Look at his face, do you think he'll teach me? Sister Shan, you learn from Brother Zhou, and I'll learn from you, isn't that great?"
Wei Shan couldn't help but smile, and took Lefia's hand, "Okay."
Lefia began humming an unknown tune, the melody echoing through the quiet mountains, clear and melodious, its lingering notes never ceasing.
After a month of upgrades and modifications, the Moon Empire's 30 fleets have acquired combat capabilities comparable to those of the Earth Empire, and in some aspects even surpass them.
Under the guidance of the Earth Empire Fleet Headquarters and with the assistance of the Academy of Sciences, the Star Luo Fleet underwent more than three months of upgrades and modifications, resulting in a significant improvement in combat power. Although it could not compare to the warships of the Earth Empire and the Lunar Empire, its laser shooting weapons and energy shield technology were greatly enhanced.
Since the Star Luo warships do not yet possess the Klein bottle space flipping long-distance travel capability, the Star Luo expeditionary warships are transported one by one into the Imperial warships, like flying saucers, and will be released when needed.
After nearly four months of war mobilization and thorough preparation, the Earth-Moon Joint Fleet, comprising 80 massive fleets, assembled in the outer space surrounding the Imperial Fleet headquarters. All of humanity in the Earth Empire, including the newly joined Star Luo people, witnessed this grand spectacle live.
With a command from Thomas, the commander-in-chief of the Earth Empire fleet, eighty fleets suddenly disappeared from their original space and began their conquest of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Their target was naturally the "Star-Bombing Civilization" that had launched a precise attack on the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy with twelve stars at a distance in a single launch.
(PS: Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for your continued support.)
