Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 485 The Second Solar System War
In the combat conference room of the former Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force, the top generals of the Federal Army and the former Imperial Army sat on both sides of the conference table, and Zhong Cheng sat on the chair.

Zhong Cheng asked Paul to introduce the current internal situation of the empire in detail.

After the establishment of the empire, the two sides cut off all contact, and the federation knew very little about the internal situation of the empire, especially after Robin's death, the internal situation of the empire was even more confused.

But Paul has been isolated on Mars for the past two years, and he doesn't know much about the new high-level empire. He can only be sure that the emperor Atef of the empire is just a puppet, and Sargeras is now in charge of the military and political power of the empire.

All the high-level officials of the original empire have been replaced, and his life and death are unknown. If he is not on Mars, he will end up in the same way.

Paul confessed that he had no intention of surrendering.

After Robin's death, he was brooding over the cause of Robin's death. In addition, the defeat on Mars was already decided, so he just wanted to lead the army back to Jupiter and avenge Robin's blood.

Due to the news blockade of the Mars Expeditionary Force by the high-level empire, Paul did not understand what happened inside the empire until the latest battle report sent by the Federation yesterday.

Although the sea beasts that appeared on the earth have changed their appearance, Paul still recognized their origin at a glance, because he was so impressed by these mutated sea beasts.

As Robin's confidant general, Paul personally participated in Starnet's conquest of Ganymede's underground ocean world. If this asymmetrical conquest is considered a war, he is also the supreme commander of this war.

The native creatures in Ganymede's underground ocean world had no power to fight back in front of the human conquerors due to the damage caused by the strong light. After paying a painful lesson, they bowed their heads and surrendered.

But the underground ocean army headed by Xel'Naga still left an indelible impression on him.

The Xel'Naga are creatures with high intelligence. They call themselves demons, and they have tamed many sea beasts as their servants. They serve as cannon fodder during wars, and they do not serve as food for them in battles.

Demon warriors have powerful physical and mental strength far beyond human beings. In addition, they have a unique heat energy life system, with hard shells and thick mucus as defense means, sharp minions, and strongly corrosive body fluids as attack means. means.

These are all evolved in units of hundreds of millions of years in the underground ocean world where the environment is extremely harsh and materials are extremely scarce.

If it weren't for the fact that they live in an underground world with no light at all, causing strong light to have fatal damage and paralysis to their bodies, it would be impossible for Starnet to conquer them.

But now someone has genetically engineered them to live in light, and that's unleashing a bunch of real devils.

Leaving aside the deep hatred between the Xel'Naga Demons and humans, based on Paul's understanding of these underground marine creatures, the Xel'Naga Demons are an extremely warlike group of creatures with a fanatical possessive desire for resources.

Except for themselves, all creatures are their food. There are irreconcilable contradictions between them and humans, and there is absolutely no possibility of coexistence.

The Xel'Naga's demon army appeared on the earth, so one can imagine who the current ruler of the empire, Sargeras, is.

Combining the analysis of the abnormal situation within the empire during this period of time, Paul can be sure that the empire has now fallen into the hands of a group of demons like Xel'Naga.

The current empire is no longer the human empire, it has been the Xel'Naga Empire since Robin's death.

The real enemy of mankind has appeared, and it seems so ridiculous that human beings are still fighting each other now.

After Paul confessed what he knew to the senior generals of the Mars Expeditionary Force, everyone, including the most loyal generals of the Imperial Guard Corps, expressed their willingness to lay down their arms and stop the civil war among humans.

It just took nearly a day to effectively convey the order to surrender to millions of officers and soldiers at the lowest level in the imperial army, so that they would willingly put down their weapons and surrender.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the outbreak of the war was prevented.

The news that the empire had been controlled by the Xel'Naga demons was beyond the expectations of Zhong Cheng and other generals of the federal army. The situation was far more dangerous than they had imagined.

Just like what Paul said, the war between the Federation and the Empire is just a war between humans, and there is still room for both sides, and the most senior leaders of the defeated party will be arrested and tried.

But the war between humans and demons is a real life-and-death battle. If humans are defeated, the entire race will be wiped out.

Zhong Cheng wanted to know more about the demons, the new enemy of mankind, but was disappointed.

Paul only knew about the Xel'Naga demon army before the transformation, but he was limited to his understanding of their combat capabilities.

But he is no longer clear about the weaknesses of the demon army, that is, the transformed sea beast army on earth.

Like Robin, out of the arrogance of the conqueror, he also disdained to understand the social structure, development origin, including language and writing of these marine creatures.

It can only be determined that they mainly use spiritual communication as a means of communication, and they have evolved a powerful ability to think in the dark ocean environment.

Powerful individuals can even convey their thoughts to the minds of other tribesmen across hundreds of kilometers of sea water.

As for their names, including their so-called Xel'Naga Empire, Demon Emperor, and Sargeras, all of them came after they learned human language, and it is unknown what their own internal names were.

Humans still know too little about the Xel'Naga Demon Race!

Although Starnet Corporation is using the Xel'Naga as raw materials for making genetic soldiers, Robin, Paul and others have always been extremely wary of them, and they are never allowed to directly transform them.

After the war broke out, because Paul served as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, he was sent to the asteroid belt to preside over the war. Later, he led the army to Mars, away from the floating island base under Ganymede.

How the Xel'Naga demons were allowed to transform so that they no longer fear the strong light, and how they killed Robin and stole the empire, the truth may never be known.

But now human beings have to face the threat of the demon army released by Robin whether it is intentional or unintentional, and fight for the right of human beings to survive.

The nature of this war has changed, and the opponents involved have also changed. The first solar system war, marked by the surrender of the Imperial Mars Expeditionary Force, has ended.

If you have to say win or lose, the Federation will win miserably, the empire will perish, and the human forces will lose.

From August 2047, 8, when the demon army launched an attack on humans, the second solar system war began.

It's just that the new war has become a war between humans and demons, a war between the Solar System Human Federation and the Xel'Naga Empire.

This war will be more cruel and bloody!
