Chapter 432: 432 hanging
After several days of “luck”, the Wisdom Race of the Kepulu Star Zone finally suffered their first tragedy.
The Empire, which had always been intimidating the blind intruders with its sharp teeth, seemed to have completely run out of patience. It raised its fangs and claw blades and tore a military planet, fully loaded with Protos Warriors, to pieces.
It was still a broadcast issued to the entire star zone with the precise and cruel timing noted in the schedule, accounted for to the millisecond. But this time, some individuals who were still alert noticed a huge difference in this broadcast compared to all the previous ones. This difference initially left them baffled, and then they plunged into severe panic.
An Independent Federation journalist recorded the scene at the time: It was like the atmosphere on a gallows. The ruler of the Empire stood on the high Commander’s platform, announcing the list of destruction to every information port in the entire star zone. Behind the Empire’s ruler, everyone was looking in the direction opposite the screen, casting gentle expressions towards the Kepulu natives — expressions that were the last a priest on the gallows might give to a condemned prisoner.
“No.74, Tedariclan Star, destruction in thirty minutes.”
That was the largest fortress planet established by the Taldarim in the eastern occupied areas of the Empire. The surface of the planet was covered with their army in hues of grayish blue, and the garrisoned Taldarim Fleet tallied up to a hundred thousand: All heavy warships including carriers. After such prolonged heavy casualties, this was the largest fleet the Taldarim could muster. There were no Holy Mother Ships present: Their few Holy Mother Ships were now trophies of the Xyrin Empire (Of course, I didn’t dare let the Protos Natives know that their racial monument had almost become a playground for Little Princess of Xyrin, otherwise even the Protos people of Shakuras would fight me to the death), and their ground troops almost filled up every corner of the planet. The zealots and hunters’ eyes twinkled in the dark, staring at every inch of the night sky. Vast giants and various mechanical guardians wandered through the mountains and gorges of the Tedariclan Star. Such a scale of defensive power was once considered impregnable before the Xyrin Empire emerged and the Taldarim would have proudly claimed it to be the firmest defense line in the Universe. They believed that even a billion from the Insect Race could never breach it!
But now, with Tedariclan Star included in the plan for annihilation, the atmosphere on the planet was not filled with confident courage but the bleakness of a desperate fight in the face of Doomsday.
The so-called intercept battle had already been proven to be an impossibility. The power of each Planet Battleship was beyond what any routine spaceship could contend with, and even just the Xyrin Escort Fleet hidden beneath their crust was enough to sweep away any scale of intercepting troops. The only most successful counterattack occurred in the great melee two days prior; using human wave tactics and kamikaze attacks, the Taldarim managed to delay the voyage of one Planet Battleship, causing its schedule of destruction to be approximately three minutes late — and that was the full extent of their success.
