Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Three hours later.

After losing some warships, the landing fleet of the Great Qian Interstellar Expeditionary Force completed the clearing of all landing areas with extremely high efficiency.

All the giant worms that landed in the area were wiped out.

The landing area was littered with the shattered remains of the Badaf Zerg.

Looking around, besides the giant maggots blown to pieces, there were countless mangled limbs and broken pieces of armored gnats turned into "roasted meat"...

From the reconnaissance images, the surface of Badaf Prime has become a massive Zerg graveyard.

The conclusion drawn from the intelligent-assisted analysis of reconnaissance data is that the interstellar expeditionary force's fleet remotely eliminated at least millions of Badaf swarms in just over three hours!

Such astonishing pest control data also greatly encouraged the high-ranking officials of the Great Qian Dynasty who were watching the battle live from their home planet, Qianxing.

At the suggestion of the crowd, Shen Moshen and others even opened a bottle of champagne on the spot to celebrate the great success of the Great Qian Interstellar Expeditionary Fleet!

The high-ranking officials of the Great Qian Dynasty drank champagne while enjoying the landing operation, which was now virtually unimpeded.

The landing ships of the Great Qian Interstellar Expeditionary Force surged toward the landing area like a tidal wave.

Dozens of landing zones were identified, and the ships were methodically making preparations for the landing...

"A roasted insect party!"

"I wonder if the remains of these bedbugs can be recycled and processed into fertilizer or something."

"Wow! Seriously? You have such a peculiar taste... How could you possibly eat something grown from these stink bugs?"

"Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted!"

"That's true—I didn't think much of it at first..."

Now that you've said that, I feel uncomfortable too!

"Insects are insects after all. In the face of advanced technology, they are only cannon fodder!"

"Now I'm actually quite curious—these damn bedbugs are nothing special after all!"

"I really can't understand why so many civilized planets that have already entered the interstellar age were still destroyed by these bugs."

"This is probably destiny!"

"Perhaps it was destined long ago—only our Great Qian can be the terminator of these vermin."

"That makes a lot of sense."

"Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain how the Badaf Zerg could run rampant for so long!"

"Didn't Commander-in-Chief Zhou already give the answer to this question?"

"The reason our 'pest eradication' operation has been so successful is primarily because His Majesty is leading us in this battle..."

Seeing the exceptionally smooth login screen, the high-ranking officials of Daqian chatted and joked around with relaxed expressions.

The atmosphere lacked any of the tension one would expect during a major battle...

-------------------------------------

the other side.

Badaf Main Star.

Countless interstellar fighters launched another round of overwhelming bombardment of the various landing areas before the infantry landings.

Although the various landing areas had long been turned into death graveyards by intensive long-range attacks.

Biological detectors also showed that there were no living creatures left in any of the landing areas.

However, to be on the safe side...

Commander Zhuo Tianzhi of the Great Qian Interstellar Expeditionary Force still ordered that before the landing forces officially began their landing, the air force should once again carry out a thorough bombing of all landing areas to ensure the success of the landing operation.

Furthermore, the bombing also deployed a large number of bunker-buster missiles to ensure that no Badaf Zerg ambushes were hidden underground.

Although biological detectors have repeatedly confirmed that there are no signs of life within a radius of 100 miles of the landing area.

However, Zhuo Tianzhi still issued the bombing order and insisted on using bunker-buster missiles.

It must be said that Zhuo Tianzhi was definitely a responsible and dedicated commander.

Although he shared the view that the landing operation was destined to be a complete and uncontested victory from the moment it was launched.

However, Zhuo Tianzhi still demonstrated the caution and prudence expected of a commander.

After all, every order from Zhuo Tianzhi could determine the life or death of the entire interstellar expeditionary force!

"Deploy intelligent biological detection aircraft to all landing areas."

"I need to have real-time knowledge of the situation within a hundred miles of the landing area."

"Order hover attack aircraft to establish a sky-covered warning zone in all landing areas to provide air surveillance for the landing forces."

"Starfighters continued to bomb and reconnaissance operations in areas outside the landing zone."

After issuing a series of orders, Zhuo Tianzhi checked the time and then said, "Order the landing forces to conduct a ground landing in twenty minutes!"

"Yes!"

"Commander, it seems that this landing operation has gone even more smoothly than we had anticipated."

The staff officer standing nearby, watching the fleet carrying out orders, exclaimed excitedly, "These damn bugs aren't nearly as difficult to deal with as the rumors say!"

"Under such overwhelming firepower, they can only serve as cannon fodder!"

"It went much more smoothly than we expected..."

Zhuo Tianzhi nodded silently as he watched the screen: "However, before the landing force successfully lands on Badav Main Star and establishes a safe zone as planned."

"We must not let our guard down!"

"Although we have made many preparations to deal with the Badaf Zerg, this is still our first time fighting against them."

"Moreover, we've hit the jackpot right from the start—we've attacked their lair right from our first battle against the Badaf Zerg!"

"Caution is the boat."

"Anything can happen before a secure zone is established..."

-------------------------------------

Twenty minutes later.

Following Zhuo Tianzhi's instructions, the landing forces began to conduct ground landings in various landing areas.

Countless landing ships swarmed towards the surface of Badaf's main planet.

The sight of three million troops simultaneously carrying out a landing operation is absolutely awe-inspiring!

One after another, landing ships fully loaded with soldiers landed steadily on the landing ground, leaving long trails of flame.

Immediately afterwards, as the landing craft doors opened, land vehicles rushed out of the landing ship.

Then the infantry, under the command of their commanders, rushed out of the hatch.

"The engineer battalion quickly built a secure base, and the defensive infantry built defensive positions and carried out guard duties according to the original plan."

"Assault infantry shall immediately commence search operations to ensure that there are no living bedbugs in the landing zone!"

Commanders quickly issued various orders on the scene, and the human soldiers who set foot on the main planet of Badav swiftly carried out their actions in accordance with the orders.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Behind me is the C16 landing zone of Badav Main Planet."

"Through the camera lens, everyone can see very clearly that the entire C16 landing area had already become a Zerg graveyard before the ground troops landed."

"Everywhere you look, there are the remains of the Badaf insectoids."

"These ugly insects have long since lost their vital signs and become giant barbecued animals."

"I just don't know if anyone could accept the flesh of these bedbugs."

A war correspondent stood in front of the camera, speaking with great excitement: "The soldiers around me are carrying out their orders."

“We can tell from the soldiers’ actions that the Imperial Army is as well-trained as ever.”

"Although our soldiers are landing on Badaf Prime for the first time, and there is an unpleasant smell on the ground."

"However, our soldiers were not affected by this at all."

"Through the camera lens, we can see that the engineering corps' base construction vehicle has begun to operate."

"Battlefield construction robots are also in place."

"So far, no living creatures with more than two legs have been found in the C16 landing zone!"

"Standing next to us is Colonel Liu Yongsai, who is in charge of the construction of the base for the security zone in this area."

"Colonel Liu, how long will it take to complete the construction of the security base in area C16?"

"We anticipated a build time of three hours before the login."

Liu Yongsai adjusted his posture in front of the camera and began to introduce: "However, it seems that in two hours, we will be able to complete the construction of the security base in area C16."

"It's not just our C16 landing zone; I believe the situation is similar in other landing zones as well."

"In other words—if everything goes smoothly, we can complete the construction of secure bases for the entire landing area in two hours!"

"Is that so, Colonel?"

"That's right! If everything goes smoothly, two hours should be more than enough."

"If you're quick, it won't even take two hours."

Liu Yongsai pointed to the surrounding environment and said, "There are no abnormalities in any of the landing areas right now."

"The entire landing plan went incredibly smoothly."

"Right now, our engineering corps is probably the busiest in the entire landing force."

"The assault troops tasked with searching for combat units ended up having the easiest job!"

"As everyone has seen, there isn't a single insect still breathing in any of the landing areas."

"Or rather—it's hard to find even a half-cooked insect."

Liu Yongsai joked to the camera, "Because all the insects in the landing area have become fully cooked!"

"However, these insects are probably not suitable for consumption."

"Because I found these 'roasted' bedbugs to smell really bad!"

"At least I can't stand this smell."

"Well, to put it simply—the smell of roasted iron jaw beetles is a bit like burning plastic or rubber..."

"Okay! Thank you for your humorous introduction, Colonel Liu Yongsai."

"Now, let's follow the camera and report on an infantry search team that has been ordered to carry out a search mission."

The war correspondent then switched the camera: "This is Captain Zhou Luo."

"He is also the commander of this search team."

"We will now follow Captain Zhou's search team and provide on-site coverage."

"Seventh Squad Leader!"

"To!"

"Your class is responsible for protecting the reporters and photographers."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Captain Zhou Luo instructed the war correspondents and photographers: "Stay close to the rear of the column and don't wander off."

"All actions shall be carried out in accordance with instructions."

"Okay! We'll definitely follow your instructions..."

"Being with Imperial soldiers always gives me a strong sense of security."

"Now, let's follow the camera to see if we can find any Zerg still alive in the C16 landing zone."

As the war correspondent followed the instructions and marched with the team, he continued his on-site reporting into the camera: "According to the biological detector..."

"No Zerg creatures showing any signs of life can be found in this area."

"However, for safety's sake, we still need to conduct a thorough and comprehensive search."

"We can now see that battlefield cleanup vehicles have begun to clean up the Zerg remains in the C16 landing zone, which have long since lost their life signs."

"Through the camera lens, we can see that the vast majority of the Zerg remains on site are Ironjaw Bugs from the Badaf Zerg."

"This is also the largest basic combat unit of the Badaf Zerg."

"According to the detection data, the Imperial army's long-range strikes on Badaf Prime have eliminated at least one million Badaf swarms."

"At least 80 percent of them are gnathus."

"As expected of the largest cannon fodder group in the Badaf Zerg."

"I think—if these armored jaw beetles knew what fear was, they wouldn't have been blown up so badly..."

"Therefore, the absence of pain and the inability to feel fear are both the advantages and the fatal flaws of the armored jaw beetle."

"Sometimes, knowing how to escape is actually a very important survival skill..."

"Take today's situation, for example—if only these armored jaw beetles understood that they should have a basic sense of awe for 'fire'."

"They won't suffer such a huge loss for nothing."

"We used to only know about moths flying into a flame, but when it comes to these Badaf insectoids, it's like—even insects fly into a flame..."

"Moreover, these insects on Badaf Main Star are much more likely to fly into a fire than moths!"

The war correspondent provided live commentary to viewers on Qianxing in a humorous and witty manner.

The entire landing site severely lacked the tension and oppressive feeling of a battlefield.

Instead, there was an incredibly relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

This is a large-scale battlefield where humans fight against the Zerg.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a large-scale battlefield-themed variety show recorded for some entertainment program.
