My empire of stars

"In addition to that, there are two powerful countries in the northern continent, Hongguo and Languo, and a bunch of colonies similar to African countries in the southern continent."

"This is a good place. If we unify the primitive civilization on this planet and sell it to the empire, how much would a 1% share of a living planet with a full population be worth!" Stover licked it. Lips.

"Let's go down and take a look, captain. Kari has prepared the multi-functional mecha." Stova also rubbed her hands excitedly.

After getting Li Mingze's consent, the expedition ship entered the planet's atmosphere from above the ocean. Twenty mechas flew out of the cargo hold of the expedition ship with air jets from their backs.

At the Hongguo command center, five hundred kilometers away from the coastline, the commander-in-chief of Hongguo's army was drinking and chatting with his subordinates.

Their Hongguo tank troops have advanced into the hinterland of Languo. The steel torrent composed of hundreds of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles crushed all obstacles that dared to block the road.

In just one week, their Hongguo troops will be able to advance to the capital of Languo, and by then the Northern Continent will usher in its unification.

However, just as they held a grand banquet to celebrate the victory of the war in advance, twenty mechas suddenly broke through the thick reinforced concrete outer wall of the headquarters and fell into the hall.

As people screamed, twenty mechas pointed their Gauss machine guns at the fleeing crowd.

"Everyone is not allowed to move. Squat where you are, otherwise the machine guns in our hands will not show mercy." Stover's voice came from a mecha.

"Whoever has the highest position among you, let him stand over." Li Mingze fired several shots at the top of the banquet hall with a machine gun, causing everyone to scream again, and then shouted to the crowd.

"I, I... I am the commander-in-chief of Hongguo's army." An elderly man in his sixties walked out of the crowd.

His subordinates tried to stop him several times, but he stretched out his hands to open them.

"Excuse me, where are you from and what do you want from us?"

"Why don't we have some wine first and sit down and talk in detail." The commander-in-chief made an inviting gesture.

"Leave the mecha in charge of artificial intelligence and let's go down and have a look." Li Mingze controlled the mecha and nodded to the other people.

Soon the cockpits of twenty mechas opened outwards, and twenty explorers in power armor jumped out of the cockpits.

The AI-controlled mechas will monitor the surrounding people, and their power armor can protect them from the attacks of these indigenous and backward weapons, so everyone leaves their cabs with confidence.

Reaching out and opening the armor on his chin, Li Mingze and others only revealed a mouth.

"That's right, that's right. Dear sirs, come and take a seat. You see, this is the food we just ate. It is absolutely non-toxic." The old commander picked up a plate of pastries and handed it to Li Mingze and others.

"Stop! Don't eat it!" Li Mingze suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand to knock away the hand that Stover had reached for the pastry.

"How low are the chances that there will be several fruits that are exactly the same as those on Earth on an unknown planet? Moreover, other fruits are also specialties of the empire." Li Mingze frowned at the explorers around him. asked.

"Impossible, the probability is too low." Stova shook her head.

"Everyone withdraw their mechas! Notify the Shibi to pick us up! There is a problem here!" Li Mingze felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and hurriedly shouted to everyone.

"Hey, sirs, why are you planning to leave? Why don't you stay here?"

"Did I let you go?" The old commander's tone suddenly became sinister as he spoke, and the facial features began to distort.

Seeing this, Li Mingze and others quickly drew out their rifles and fired while retreating towards the mecha.

But the bullets they fired only exploded into a pile of purple liquid after hitting the people in the hall who began to twist, and the "people" who were hit quickly returned to their original state.

"Hahaha, you can't hurt me, just be my food." Everyone in the hall suddenly shouted in unison.

The high-ranking officials of the Hong Kingdom who originally looked like ordinary people turned into monsters made of purple liquid. The monster's two sharp claws were still waving in the air.

"How about it, has the Shibi arrived? Why is it so slow!" Li Mingze, who had returned to the mecha, shouted while controlling the mecha to shoot wildly at the crowd.

"No sir, we have lost He Fei. Zizi" Stova lost contact with Li Mingze before she finished her words.

"What's going on?" Li Mingze saw that the mechas around him were still intact, but they had lost contact with each other.

"Captain, these monsters can block our signals!" Stova suddenly shouted to Li Mingze through the mecha's speaker.

"Let's move out!" Li Mingze threw away the machine gun that had fired empty bullets and pulled out two howitzers from both sides of the mecha's thighs.

As each grenade fell into the monster group, the explosion splashed pools of purple liquid, but the liquid gathered together again in just a few seconds after being scattered.

"No! These guys can't be killed. Be careful to save ammunition!" Li Mingze frowned. It seems that this is a special creature that can be physically immune.

When Li Mingze and others gave up blocking the monster group and rushed outside the building, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Purple monsters as far as the eye could see appeared in the squares and streets around the building and rushed towards their location.

"Start the thrusters, let's go to the air!" Li Mingze said as flames suddenly appeared from behind, and the dazzling flames pushed the heavy mecha into the sky.

The explorers behind him did not dare to fall behind, and they all fired up their thrusters and rushed high into the sky.

"Switch the jet engine to save energy." Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that none of the twenty people he brought out were missed.

It was at this time that everyone discovered that the bustling city they saw through the drone had changed into something else.

A series of dilapidated spaceships covered the ground! All the spacecraft are in pieces, and their surfaces are full of traces of corrosion.

Judging from the aging of these spacecraft, they already have a long history.

"Damn it, everything we saw through the drone was an illusion, disguised by these guys specifically to deceive us!"

"Judging from the number of these spaceships, it is obvious that they have succeeded many times." Li Mingze smashed his fist angrily.

"Thank you, captain, for just saving my life. If I had eaten that snack, I don't know what would have happened." Stover bowed to Li Mingze, his eyes filled with gratitude.
