Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

After arranging the task of searching for the whereabouts of the Insect Demon with all our might.

Zhuo Tianzhi also emphasized the security and vigilance matters of all security bases.

"All secure bases must maintain uninterrupted real-time communication."

“Each security base must submit a daily situation report to the forward command center of Security Base A01 before 6 p.m. every day.”

"Then, the forward command center must submit a unified report on the status of all security bases to the Interstellar Expeditionary Force Headquarters before 7 p.m.

As he spoke, Zhuo Tianzhi stomped his foot on the alloy floor: "Have all the floors in the security bases been reinforced and thickened again on top of the original plan?"

"Yes, Commander!" The person in charge of the base construction immediately reported to Zhuo Tianzhi: "The construction of all security bases has been further strengthened on the original basis according to your instructions."

"The entire security base uses the latest type of super nano-special alloy."

"The most distinctive feature of this alloy is its unparalleled defensive capabilities."

"These damn bugs want to infiltrate the base by digging holes? That's impossible."

The person in charge of the base construction confidently assured, "We have specifically adopted an elevated filling design for all the security bases."

“The foundation of each security base was filled with five meters of liquid solidified alloy.”

"This is equivalent to adding double insurance to the underground security of the base."

"Not to mention that they simply cannot dig through the floor made of super nano-alloys."

"Even this five-meter-thick layer of liquid-solidified alloy is beyond the reach of the Badaf insectoids!"

"Moreover, all the security bases are equipped with a comprehensive security monitoring and early warning system as standard."

"We can detect any danger immediately."

"Therefore, if the Badaf Zerg wanted to dig tunnels underground to launch a sneak attack on us, they simply don't have the means or the capability!"

"That's good." Zhuo Tianzhi nodded in satisfaction: "The security of the safe base cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness."

“We had previously seen video footage of a secure base built by an alien civilization being attacked by the Badaf insectoids.”

"The Zerg wiped out the entire safe base by digging tunnels!"

"Therefore, we must learn from these lessons."

"We absolutely cannot give these Zerg any opportunity to exploit this..."

"If the Badaf Zerg were to breach the safe base, it would be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!"

"At that time, our soldiers will become the target group for slaughter......................."

After meticulously explaining and emphasizing every single issue he could think of, big or small, he proceeded to address them.

Zhuo Tianzhi then boarded a "jumbo" class interstellar warship and returned to the sky base under the escort of a star-level escort ship.

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

Early the next morning.

As planned, the Great Qian Interstellar Expeditionary Force dispatched a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to search for the hiding place of the Insect Demon.

Meanwhile, they began a clearing operation to expand the security zone, centered around various security bases.

The air bombardment still clears the way, while ground troops play the role of finishing off any remaining enemies.

With unparalleled firepower, the first day of the Great Qian Interstellar Expeditionary Force's mopping-up operation went remarkably smoothly.

By 6 p.m. that day—according to incomplete statistics, at least nearly 300,000 insects had been eliminated in the first day of the cleanup operation!

Human interstellar bombers displayed their might on the main planet Badav.

One after another, purification-type nuclear-powered missiles were used to carry out a frenzied harvesting of the Badaf swarm.

The areas ravaged by the cleansing nuclear missiles will then face a devastating fire attack that will burn everything in its path.

The ultra-concentrated flamethrower releases temperatures as high as 10,000 degrees Celsius, instantly incinerating all living things within its range.

After these two procedures, ground troops, led by land-based armored vehicles, will begin ground search and follow-up operations.

In fact, after these two warm-up procedures, it was time for the ground troops to take the field.

They couldn't even find any remains of the Zerg.

Looking around, all that could be seen in the ruins was charred black soil.

As the infantrymen followed the armored vehicles into the search area, they could still feel the lingering heat around them...

"Dear viewers, we are now following an armed search team on a search mission."

Facing the camera lens, a war correspondent is giving a live report to the audience.

"We can see very clearly that after the aerial bombing, the entire search area was nothing but charred black as far as the eye could see."

"We can't even find a single insect remnant..."

"The soldiers who were carrying out the search mission have started to complain."

"One soldier said—since successfully landing on the main planet Badav, he hasn't fired a single shot..."

"Because the infantry hasn't found an opportunity to fire yet..."

"Under the unparalleled firepower of the Imperial army, the Badaf Zerg were simply powerless to fight back."

"If this pace continues, I think we can wipe out the entire Zerg population on the entire Badaf home planet very soon!"

"As it turns out, these hideous and incredibly ugly insects are nothing but a rabble."

"Before the mighty imperial army, these damned insects are destined to be slaughtered!"

"There was no fierce confrontation as expected, and no insect swarm attack as expected."

"What we are witnessing is merely a one-sided and complete crushing defeat..."

As he spoke, the war correspondent climbed onto a boulder, pointed behind him, and continued, "You can all look behind me."

"Looking around, you can't see anything at all..."

Pfft!

Before the war correspondent could finish speaking, his body was sliced ​​in two by a flying winged insect that appeared out of nowhere...

"Concentrated fire attack!"

Intense firing immediately erupted at the scene.

The flying winged insect that had just gotten the first kill was blown to pieces in mid-air by the intense firepower before it could even launch a second attack.

"Attention alert!"

"Stop advancing, maintain alert formation, and check the surroundings for any other situations."

"Report the situation and location to command. We were suddenly attacked by a flying winged insect in the search area..."

As soon as the commanding officer gave the order, the soldiers quickly carried out the operation.

It must be said that the photographer who accompanied the team was truly dedicated!

Watching helplessly as a war correspondent reporting the news was torn in two by a flying winged insect, the cameraman didn't immediately drop his camera and take cover.

Instead, they continued to carry the camera and gave a close-up shot of the flying winged insect that suddenly appeared!

They even filmed the entire scene of the winged beetle, which was only cool for a second, being blown up by concentrated firepower.....................

"A-Yong, Xiao-Hai, go check it out!"

The commander immediately ordered two soldiers to go to the slope ahead and observe the situation.

..............................

"Sir! Something's happened!"

"Oh my God!"

After quickly stepping forward and taking a clear look at the situation on the other side of the slope, the commander couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Quickly! Call in air support!"

On the other side of the slope, a large number of armored beetles are emerging from the ground one after another...

Moreover, there is more than one underground burrow from which the armored jaw beetle is rapidly emerging!

"Everyone, get on the vehicle and retreat!"

"quick!"

The commander, his scalp tingling, ordered his soldiers to quickly board the land vehicles while personally reporting to headquarters via communicator.

The commander quickly sent out the on-site images and coordinates.

"Fall back!"

"Air support can arrive within ten minutes!"

"Let's..."

"Sir! Look! There's something happening in the sky!"

A soldier pointed in terror at the sky directly ahead—at least dozens of winged insects had appeared in the distance…

Before the search team could react, a huge beetle emerged directly from the ground.

As luck would have it—the heavy beetle appeared right in the land vehicle that the team commander was riding in!

All of this happened so fast.

Before the commander could even duck into the tank, he was smashed into a bloody pulp by the overturned vehicle...

Immediately afterwards—the second and third heavy beetles also emerged from the ground!

The massive beetle is even bigger than a land tank!

Moreover, these heavy beetles are incredibly strong; they can easily overturn a land vehicle with a mere flick of their wrists.

Intense gunfire immediately erupted around them.

The three beetles, relying on their thick hides and strong defenses, launched a flamethrower attack on the surrounding human soldiers.

The fire attack of these three heavy beetles was even more intense and prolonged than the flames spewed out by the flamethrower tank!

Moreover, as the heavy beetle twisted its head, three tongues of fire swept towards the surrounding human soldiers like three agile fire dragons.......................

Soon, more than a dozen land vehicles were overturned and engulfed in flames.

The flames spewed by these heavy beetles will adhere directly to the target object and cannot be extinguished at all.

The human soldiers hit by the sweep were melted instantly, like candles thrown into a raging fire...

At this moment, dozens of flying winged insects in the air had also arrived at the battlefield!

Many soldiers were unable to dodge in time and were instantly cut in half at the waist...

From the sudden appearance of the first flying winged insect to the rapid slaughter of this search team of 100 people.

The whole process took less than five minutes!

The heavy beetles that quickly eliminated the search team soon sank back underground...

Meanwhile, the astonishing number of armored jaw beetles below the slope began to move rapidly in a southeast direction.

A01 Security Base – Forward Command Center.

"Three minutes and fifty-seven seconds!"

"These damned bugs wiped out one of our hundred-strong search teams in just three minutes and fifty-seven seconds!"

While being extremely shocked and quickly dispatching air support, the command center swiftly issued orders to another search team.

"K19 Search Team! Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!"

"The insect swarm is moving rapidly in your direction!"

"All ground search teams, return to base immediately!"

"Repeat—All ground search teams, return to base immediately!"

The duty commander, with a grim expression, issued a retreat order to all ground troops currently conducting search operations.

"Once all ground troops have safely withdrawn to their bases, a new round of bombardment will be launched immediately using bunker-buster bombs to cover the previously bombed areas."

"Yes!"

"Reporting to command center, this is Search Team D11. We are under heavy attack from the Zerg!"

"Asking for support! Requesting support!"

"E23 Search Team calling command center, we're caught in a swarm of insects! Requesting air support.................."

"F12 search team report—We are surrounded by Jawed Beetles, requesting fire support! Repeat! Requesting fire support..................."

"C33 Search Team calling Command Center..."

"Report! The F-19 search team's signal has been lost!"

"Report! Search team D11 has lost contact with command center!"

"Search team A26 has also lost signal....................."

"Search team G33 requests backup!"

"H16 search team is under attack by a swarm of insects....................."

The duty commander watched as signal sources on the big screen kept turning gray, and cold sweat began to pour down his forehead!

Each signal source on the large screen represents a search team, and when a signal source turns gray, it means that the search team no longer exists.

"Retreat immediately!"

"All starfighters are deployed to cover the ground forces' retreat."

"All security bases, prepare to respond to the insect swarm attack!"

"All bases are on high alert!"

"Connect me to the Interstellar Expeditionary Force Headquarters..."
