The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1164 : The Northern Territory (2)

Word quickly spread throughout the North that the geth, the mechanical race that had recently ravaged the northern reaches of the galaxy, was the legacy of the Kilik swarm a hundred thousand years ago.

Although this thing doesn't have much impact on the defense forces in various places, whether they are made by the Killik swarm or the Barik swarm, it's the same anyway, they will be beaten anyway, and if they can't be beaten anyway, they will die.

However, there was an unexpected harvest, that is, during this period of time, among the planets in the northern border of the Milky Way, almost all items related to the Killik swarm were out of stock. Those residents believe that if they wear the token of the Kilik Swarm on their body, when the geth comes over, seeing this token will not kill them.

So many profiteers went to every planet where the remains of the Killik swarm were dug up, bought the remains of the Killik swarm, and then cut them to make various amulets, and even made these things into some Weird and hideous sign.

These profiteers claim that this symbol is the symbol of a certain group in the Killik swarm, and they also pat their chests to assure buyers that the group corresponding to this symbol is the same group that made the geth.

Although these signs are all the materials they randomly picked up on the Galaxy Holographic Network, although even if you search the Internet with a little bit of effort, you can know that there are no so-called signs among the different ethnic groups in the Killik Swarm, because they are different. The pheromones of the Clans are completely different, and any member of the Killik Clan can know all of this through the sensory organs.

But behind this so-called business opportunity, there is a bloody reality...

With the rampage of the geth and their merciless massacre of civilians into corpse puppets, the North is in a state of panic, and the Galactic Republic must also respond.

Initially, the Galactic Republic wanted to evacuate planets that were close to the geth's range of activity, but they soon found that this was simply not realistic.

Because the geth's range of activity is inexplicably vast, some attacks have even occurred on planets deep in the territory controlled by the Republic's Eighth Army.

At the same time, it is simply impossible to evacuate civilians on a planet-by-planet basis!

Where are these refugees sent? Who is willing to accept? More importantly, how to deliver? !

The Galactic Republic is now launching a massive counter-offensive against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and because of the dwindling supply of clone troopers, they have to use more natural human troops, which results in the need for more transport ships to transport these troops.

The spaceships have been used to fight, so where is the spare time to evacuate civilians? Or the evacuation of planet by planet! This is not a question of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but a scale of hundreds of millions and billions!

Therefore, the Galactic Republic had to call on the residents of these planets, if the Geths invaded, they should organize as much as possible to defend themselves and defend their homes. At the same time, the army of the Republic will not forget them, and will cooperate with them to fight against the Geth, and finally drive out these terrible mechanical races.

After talking about it for a long time, in the final analysis, it is still a conclusion-sit on the ground and wait for death, at most, struggle a little before dying.

So, what is now placed in front of Fan Ke, Governor of the Eighth Army of the Republic, and advisor Sass Ting, is such a desperate situation——

After several rounds of reinforcements, they now have a fleet of hundreds of large warships in their hands, and it is not a problem to defeat the Geth fleet head-on. But the problem is, the geth don't give them this chance at all!

The usual method of the geth is to capture a caravan, use the caravan to set a trap, and send a distress signal to the Republic. When the Republic fleet comes to rescue, the hidden Geth warships will suddenly appear, tearing these Republic warships to pieces with powerful firepower and flexible maneuvering.

If it's a smaller trap, then the geth will hide in these crashing ships, wait until the rescuers enter, and then suddenly appear, killing all rescuers.

And because the Eighth Army's jurisdiction is now full of chaos, there are separatist control areas, and there are even some existences such as the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group that even the main force of the Eighth Army dare not easily provoke. There are geth running around.

Therefore, the main force of the Eighth Army must also operate under the premise of taking into account the security of the Eighth Army's core area, and cannot go out to chase the geth.

What's more, since the last joint fleet of the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group suddenly attacked the planet Janfatar to no avail, they have been on the verge of making moves. There is evidence that their coveted target this time is the eighth An important industrial center in the military jurisdiction - the Yaga Minor planet (Yaga Minor).

This is equivalent to tying one hand and one foot to fight with people, and the result can be imagined.

...

Ord-Mantel extraterrestrial orbital spaceport.

Eight hunter-class battlecruisers sailed into the spaceport in sub-light speed cruising mode, and then entered their respective berths under guidance.

There are still many damages on several of the warships, obviously just experienced a fierce battle. Many engineering ships took off immediately, came to these damaged battleships, and began to repair the battleships.

The battleship hangar platform was opened, and some transport planes flew out of the hangar one after another. Most of them were wounded soldiers who needed to be sent for treatment immediately. Then more transport planes flew in, and logistics personnel will enter the interior of the spacecraft to overhaul and resupply the spacecraft.

The battleship engineer took a long list and divided it into dozens of teams to check and scan the sub-areas of the battleship one by one. After each item was completed, he would tick the list. This process had to be done manually with pen and paper. In order not to be perfunctory.

The hatch opened, and the crew of the battleship and the clone soldiers of the Marine Corps came down in a neat line, and then gathered on the loading and unloading platform in front of the battleship to report the number, and then the captain personally announced the disbandment.

Only then did the soldiers disperse in a rush, and went to the shuttle airport on the other side of the spaceport in twos and threes, and took the shuttle down to the planet to enjoy a day or two of holiday life.

Then, some fighter jets and combat equipment damaged during the battle also began to be transported out of the battleship, repaired and scrapped.

For a thousand-meter-class battleship like the Jaeger-class, from returning from battle to going out again, there are dozens of processes and stages involved. The hard work of tens of thousands of people can fully prepare the battleship again. Be at your best when you're out in the field.

While it was busy here, a latest ETA-2 interceptor plane slowly flew out of the hangar platform of one of the Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and flew directly into another small berth in the space port to land—only Fleet executives are qualified for this.

The door of the fighter jet opened, and the Jedi Master Seth-Tin, who was wearing a brown coarse robe, jumped out. He shook the crumpled robe in the narrow fighter cockpit, and walked towards the command center with a grim expression on his face.

When he came to the command center and walked through the busy staff and civilian staff, Suss-Ting came directly to the innermost office, where a middle-aged human man in his 40s was here.

"Governor Fan Ke." Sass-Ting nodded and said, "The Geth that appeared near the planet Mossk have been repulsed, and we have destroyed 7 of their warships, 2 of which are 300-meter-long ships. Cruiser-class warships. In addition, they have already launched a landing on the planet Mosk, but fortunately they only had time to attack a remote town before being blocked by our landing force."

"Thank you, Master Sass Ting." Fan Ke said, "If you hadn't predicted the action of the Geth in time, maybe now, the planet Mosk has become a dead zone."

"But such a flash of inspiration cannot be replicated. There are still many things we need to do. Especially now that separatism is still watching from the sidelines." Sass-Ting said seriously.
