Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"Your Majesty, should we announce the truth about the Invisible Bugs and the Corrosive Bugs?"

Chen Guyan then asked Shen Mo for instructions.

"Now that we've decided to postpone the second campaign against Badaf, there's no need to hide these things any longer."

Shen Moshen sighed: "However, we must pay attention to the details and wording when announcing the Transparent Insect and the Corrosive Insect."

"Try not to cause unnecessary panic and affect people's confidence in the fight against pests."

"Revealing the truth about the transparent worm and the carrion worm will make it easier for us to investigate whether there are still any living transparent worms and carrion worms around the world!"

"never mind..............."

Shen Moshen thought for a moment, then said, "Let me, the emperor of this empire, personally step forward and explain this matter."

"After all, I made that bold statement in front of the people of the world."

"To postpone the war of revenge, it is naturally best for me to personally address the issue and provide an explanation..."

"It would be best if His Majesty could announce this news in person."

Chen Guyan nodded: "After all, His Majesty's prestige in the Great Qian Dynasty is undeniable."

"His Majesty's personal intervention can best appease the people's hearts..."

"Your Interstellar Intelligence Agency and the military should compile the relevant detailed information for me."

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally hold a press conference to give the people an explanation."

Shen Moshen glanced at Chen Guyan and Han Yunsheng, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to show up at tomorrow's press conference."

"I'll handle it myself!"

"You must do everything in your power to search the Qianxing homeland—you must find those transparent worms that are hiding somewhere."

"Before restarting the war of revenge against the Badaf Zerg, we must first ensure that there is no Zerg infiltration on the Qianxing homeland!"

"Otherwise, we'll be at a huge disadvantage in this battle against the pests..."

"You two need to be clear about this—not only do you need to be highly efficient, but you also need to be 100% reliable."

"No matter what method we use—we must completely wipe out the Zerg from Qianxing's native lands!"

"Yes!"

Chen Guyan and Han Yunsheng both assured Shen Moshen on the spot, "Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"We will certainly not let His Majesty down!"

"Alright, you guys go ahead and do what you need to do."

Shen Moshen shook his head slightly, his tone filled with helplessness: "If any new situation arises, you must report it to me immediately."

"Anyway, things have already come to this..."

"I'm not afraid of a few more bad news..."

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

Early the next morning.

Shen Moshen appeared on camera at the palace right on time.

"Today, I'm taking up some of your time because I have some very important things to announce."

Shen Moshen didn't do much preamble and went straight to the point.

"The revenge war against the main planet Badaf, originally scheduled for March..."

"Due to some recent developments, the imperial court has decided—in order to ensure the effectiveness of the revenge war."

"The second campaign against Badaf Prime will be suspended for now."

Upon hearing this, the reporters at the press conference began to whisper among themselves.

Clearly, everyone was quite surprised by what Shen Moshen had just announced.

You should know—this is the first time in history that Shen Moshen has broken his promise in public!

Moreover, this is a matter of paramount importance to the entire Great Qian Empire.

Therefore, Shen Moshen's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a great stir!

The emperor of the Great Qian Empire, who was like a god, actually broke his promise!

While people were discussing Shen Moshen's words with great surprise, they were also very surprised.

This also made people realize that this matter was extraordinary!

The fact that even the emperor, who always had the final say, could change his mind at the last minute means that something big must have happened!

Moreover, it must be a highly unfavorable situation with a tremendous impact on the entire empire...................

Otherwise, Shen Moshen would never have delayed the revenge war that he had almost finished preparing for!

In an instant, all sorts of speculations and worries inevitably sprouted in the hearts of every citizen of Daqian.

Seeing the reactions of the reporters at the press conference, Shen Moshen continued, "I know everyone must be very surprised and shocked to hear this news."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

"For the sake of the overall situation, this decision was made by the court after careful consideration and repeated deliberation."

"This is also a professional recommendation from the Interplanetary Operations Command in response to the current situation."

"I have always said that professional matters must be left to professionals."

"We should listen to the professional advice of professionals when making any decisions."

"Since the military has provided professional advice, for the sake of the future of the Great Qian Dynasty, I am not afraid of losing face."

"Compared to the future fate of the Great Qian Dynasty, what harm is there in me, Shen Moshen, breaking my promise once?"

"As citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty, everyone has the right to know about the current situation."

Shen Moshen changed the subject: "Therefore, today I will personally explain some situations to all the people of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Let everyone know why the imperial court suddenly postponed the launch of the revenge war."

As soon as Shen Moshen said these words, all the citizens of Daqian in front of the screen fell silent.

They knew—next, their emperor was about to announce some very exciting news...

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

"First of all, I want to be frank with everyone about something."

"That is—based on all the signs we have now, the latest evolution of the Badaf Zerg far exceeds our original estimates!"

"Or rather, we underestimated the latest evolution of the Badaf Zerg."

"And it's a serious underestimation..."

At this point, Shen Moshen sighed gravely, "That insect island we destroyed in outer space..."

"Several fragments of the insect island actually landed on Qianxing through a wormhole tunnel!"

Shen Moshen addressed the camera, updating everyone on the latest developments: "And..."

"What's worse is that these fragments of the insect island meteorite actually carried live eggs of the Badaf insectoid race!"

"But—that's not the worst of it..."

"What's worse—these living Badaf insect eggs attached to the meteorite fragments are the latest evolutionary products of the Badaf insect race..."

"A new variety!"

"A new species of the Badaf insectoid!"

“And there’s something even worse—there’s more than one new type of Badaf Zerg that has landed on Qianxing’s home planet!”

Shen Moshen frowned and continued, "We have confirmed two possibilities so far!"

"However, it cannot be ruled out that there may be a third or fourth type of the new Badaf Zerg that has landed on Qianxing's home planet..."

As he spoke, Shen Moshen ordered his men to project relevant images and text about the transparent insects and the corrosive insects onto the large screen at the press conference.

"Everyone should take a good look..."

"What is being displayed on the big screen now is some information about the two new types of Badaf insectoids that have landed on the Qianxing homeland."

"This is all the information we have at the moment regarding these two new types of Badaf insectoids..."

"Miniaturization evolution!"

Shen Moshen then stated his conclusion: "As everyone has seen..."

"All indications suggest that the latest evolution of the Badaf insectoids has changed its original evolutionary direction."

"Their latest evolution has moved towards miniaturization!"

"Moreover, there is evidence that the Badaf insectoids spawned more than one new species during this evolution."

"These new members of the Badaf insectoid race all share a common characteristic."

That is—miniaturization!

"These new members of the Zerg all belong to the Micro-Zerg group."

Shen Moshen frowned even more: "But never underestimate these tiny 'little guys'!"

"When they gather in small groups and act in swarms, their attack power and destructive force are in no way inferior to those of the giant insectoids!"

“We even have reason to suspect that these tiny classes of the Badaf swarm are more dangerous and harder to deal with than those ‘older’ swarms!”

"The previous space magnetic storm that led to the annihilation of 300 million interstellar expeditionary troops on the main planet Badav..."

"We suspect it is very likely the work of a tiny new type of Badaf worm!"

"This shows that when these tiny new types of Badaf worms gather together, the damage they cause is even more troublesome!"

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

The people of Daqian listened to Shen Moshen's speech while reading line by line the content about transparent insects and corrosive insects on the big screen.

The content about the transparent worms and the carrion worms was truly terrifying to everyone who read it...

Many people are deeply worried about the carrion worms, especially after seeing their "abnormal" ability to rapidly divide themselves.

If these corrosive insects were allowed to survive on Qianxing, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the entire planet!

At that time, let alone launching a second campaign against the main planet of Badaf.

Before the Great Qian side can even take action, Qianxing may have already become the Zerg's "backyard"!

"Fortunately, we took fairly good protective and emergency measures when dealing with these insect island meteorite fragments."

Shen Moshen naturally understood the concerns everyone had, and then continued, "Therefore, upon discovering traces of the corrosive insects, we immediately initiated a series of emergency measures!"

"Finally, we have completely eradicated the corrosive insects that appeared at the testing base!"

"If the carrion insects do not survive in other areas..."

"I believe that the crisis of the Corrosive Worms on the Qianxing homeland has been effectively controlled and eliminated by us."

"Of course, just to be on the safe side, we still can't let our guard down."

"Next, the imperial court will launch a comprehensive investigation worldwide."

"With 100% certainty—does the living Badaf insectoid race still exist on the Qianxing homeland?!"

Then, Shen Moshen emphasized, "Whether there are any remaining corrosive insects still needs further investigation and confirmation."

"However, there must still be living transparent worms hiding on the Qianxing continent!"

"The Interplanetary Intelligence Agency and the military are already taking action."

"To date, we have still not found any trace of the transparent worm."

"In order to better carry out the investigation, we hope that all citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty will actively cooperate with the imperial court in this large-scale investigation."

"Furthermore, if any unusual situation is discovered, everyone should report it to the relevant departments immediately!"

"The transparent worm is a type of control worm that can parasitize inside the human body and manipulate human behavior."

"You can think of it as a smaller, more powerful version of the puppet insect!"

Shen Moshen frowned and said, "Although this transparent insect is tiny, its manipulation and concealment abilities far surpass those of its predecessor—the puppet insect!"

“Previously, one of our search teams was wiped out because someone was parasitized by these transparent worms!”

"Therefore, everyone must cooperate with the imperial court's actions."

"Follow instructions to undergo full-body testing."

"Fortunately, these parasitic, manipulative transparent worms do not possess the 'abnormal' self-division ability of the carrion worms."

"Otherwise, this life-or-death battle between us and the Badaf Zerg would truly be pointless..."

Then, Shen Moshen changed the subject again: "However, in the face of all the unexpected situations that are happening now..."

"While remaining vigilant, people should not be overly worried."

"And let's not doubt whether we can ultimately win this battle against the pests!"

Shen Moshen said solemnly, "Please believe me!"

"No matter what challenges we face, the imperial court has the ability and confidence to lead the Great Qian Dynasty to final victory!"
