Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

Unknown Starfield - Human Empire Front

"Whoosh~" One Imperial fleet after another broke out of the warp portal and arrived at the front line.

"Boom!" Several Sentinel fleets arrived simultaneously.

On a planet used as a command center, tens of thousands of high-ranking officers, the commander-in-chief of the front, and representatives of the Sentinels are meeting.

Now, due to the latest intelligence, the supreme commander, marshals and generals are arguing loudly, while colonels are shrinking back and dare not join in. Only the sentries are relatively quiet.

"Lord Elchia." During the meeting, a servant beside a sentry received some communication and leaned down to whisper something in his ear.

"Have the knights protect her," Elchia said.

"Yes, sir." The knight left the meeting room.

"Your Highness, what happened?" The Commander-in-Chief looked over.

“A flag-bearer is coming,” Elchia responded.

“It seems we’ll have a much better chance of dealing with the bugs,” a general said.

"Indeed, I really don't know how the reconnaissance fleet could mistake a group of planetary-level armed mothership transport bugs for tiny bugs."

"Aidin, I remember this was handled by your men, right? Why did this problem occur?"

"The boss directly showed us the little bugs, and you all saw the radar footage and the long-distance remote sensing projection. You even asked me why, are you trying to cause trouble?" Aiding retorted directly.

"This problem was caused by your men. Can't they see the radar problem with their own eyes?!" the man retorted.

"Hey~ you little brat, looking for trouble? Come on, let's go outside and have a go!" Aiding got up and rolled up his sleeves.

“Let’s practice! Let’s go!” the man said, standing up as well.

"Quiet!" the commander-in-chief finally shouted.

"..." "..." The huge, special temporary conference room fell silent.

"Instead of talking nonsense here, you should go and do your defense work. A swarm of insectoid motherships the size of a galaxy, how many tiny insects are there? How much ammunition will we need to deal with them? How many soldiers' lives will it take to completely eliminate them?" the commander-in-chief said.

"Now, get out there and arrange your defenses right now!"

A group of people left the conference room in silence until only the commander-in-chief and a sentry remained in the large conference room.

“Old man, don’t worry about that, we sentinels are here too,” Elcia said.

“Even the strongest sentinels can’t handle that many insects,” the commander-in-chief said, glancing at Elcia.

"It's alright, we sentinels are stronger, not to mention we also have three flag sentinels and one newly formed flag sentinel transferred over."

“Three flag sentries have been moved… This means there are problems on three fronts! What should we do about those three fronts?” the commander-in-chief said.

“Can any other problem be as big as the Zerg swarm problem here? We can retreat a distance along the other fronts and launch a counterattack after we resolve the Zerg swarm issue,” Elsia said.

"Moreover, this is His Majesty the Emperor's order."

"Since His Majesty thinks this way, we can only wait until the insect swarm problem is completely resolved before making any further decisions."

“Whoosh—!!!” Suddenly, a loud air raid siren sounded outside the room.

"So fast?" Elcia looked in surprise.

"These are the vanguard units of the Zerg swarm, a perfectly normal attack tactic. The main force will arrive later," the commander-in-chief said.

“Alright, I’ll go and direct the sentries to coordinate with the fleet,” Elcia said, standing up.

"The bugs are here already?" Xing looked out the window when she heard the air raid siren.

"The advance force, about 500 million insects," the system said.

“That’s a lot.” Xing looked up at the sky, where a large number of firelight were flashing.

"A lot? This is just the first batch of cannon fodder from the advance force. The insectoids sent ten waves of cannon fodder to test the human defenses, and the number of each wave increased until finally the main force of the insectoid swarm pressed in," the system said.

"These Zerg players are skilled. By the way, how do they compare to the Zerg in StarCraft?" Xing asked, suddenly remembering something.

"We can't compete with the number of interstellar insects, and we can forget about them in terms of combat power. Although interstellar insects have tactics, they can still be overwhelmed." the system responded.

"All I can say is that, generally speaking, few of the insects in your memory can defeat the insects born under the laws of this world. Only Tyron can compete in terms of numbers and elites for a short period of time. The only ones that can be defeated are the breeding insect swarms from when the Breeding Star God was still around."

"Hmm... we can only watch how the humans in this world fight the bugs," Xing said after thinking for a moment.

"Standard equipment for weapons of mass destruction—the kind of large-caliber weapon that kills thousands upon thousands of insects with a single shot. Unfortunately, it's not very useful against swarms of this size," the system said.

“Indeed, 500 million is just the first wave. Who knows how many more there will be in the next nine waves,” Xing said.

"Oh, by the way, the base in space sent you a fleet. Take it in and I'll assign you to a supercluster that humanity hasn't yet taken control of," the system said.

"So fast? How many ships have come?" Xing asked, somewhat surprised.

"Three hundred large-scale backbone fleets," the system replied.

"...How long has it been?" Xing exclaimed in shock.

"Your special units have directly built an entire galaxy of interstellar war factories to produce warships. Having so many ships in a short time is nothing special. Don't forget that your base universe is a normal resource universe," the system said.

"I was so shocked by how many fleets they brought out all at once that I almost forgot about this." Xing thought for a moment and nodded.

"Oh, and your body is almost fully recovered. I'll be able to transfer your soul back in about ten hours," the system said.

"Let's move on after we've dealt with the bugs," Xing replied, then activated the communicator provided by the communication system to the commander-in-chief of the fleet dispatched from the base's space location.

"Your Majesty." A virtual projection appeared on the small disc in Xing's hand.

"How are the fleet preparations going? Also, who's leading this time?" Xing asked directly.

"The fleet is ready and has arrived at the target star system. Furthermore, this expeditionary fleet is personally led by Admiral Yang Wen-li," the commander responded.

"Old Yang? Okay, I understand. Wait for my instructions," Xing said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
