The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2051. An extremely powerful enemy

"Why did you let you come here? Ah, Mongal Mongal. I know you are here for this." Vishal Singh shook his tentacles, and the sound made by vibrating the air through the force seemed a bit hollow, " As long as you are the enemy of Mongar-Menggar, you are my friend. We, the Koroks, have been fighting against Mongar-Menggar for thousands of years. "You should be very excited if you have such an illusion of the force." Powerful, right? Why hasn't it been possible to defeat Mongal Mongal for thousands of years?" Huang Yehao asked.

"That's because you simply can't understand how powerful Mongal Mongal is." Vishal said. "Perhaps you think that Mongal Mongal is just a pile of living sludge. Any modern weapon can destroy it on a large scale." to destroy it.”

"Isn't it? We have wiped out all the Mongar Mongars on Levik's planet. As long as there are a large number of battle robots, Mongar Mongars will never be able to set foot on our planet." Shepard frowned and said arrive.

"Ah, Planet Levik. I know, Xilu Empire. Hahahaha..." Vishal sneered.

"The Xilu Empire has become a thing of the past. They were wiped out by us." Huang Yehao explained, "Planet Levik is now the forward base of our Dawn Principality."

"The Xilu people...that group of fools. After they discovered us, they thought that we who were good at Force illusions might be a more perfect biological battery, so they launched an attack on one of our marginal colonies. However, we gave them a little A small lesson." Vishal said, "However, the distance between us is still too far, and we are not interested in going to their smoky star area."

"Ah, at least that's what I'd say, good job." Shepard smiled.

"As for Mongar Mongar, you said you have eliminated all Mongal Mongar on Levik's planet? No, have you checked the underground? Have you checked every hole in the rock and soil on the planet? Have you checked "A gap in the mechanism?" Vishal said. "Can you imagine Mongal-Mongal hiding inside an engine and then itself being used as lubricant inside the engine?"

Shepard frowned, "The high temperature inside the engine..."

"It didn't kill it, but this engine became the beginning of the downfall of the Wiens Empire." Vishal said, "Maybe you haven't heard of this name. It was from a neighbor next to us more than 300 years ago. . I love their music...but music can't stop the invasion of Mongar-Mongar. All it takes is the oil of an engine to destroy an interstellar empire."

"Well, I can't imagine how the sludge can be used as lubricating oil without wearing out the engine..." Huang Yehao spread his hands.

"That's because you haven't seen the truly powerful Mongal Mongal." Vishal said, "As long as it breaks down its body into nano-level particles and reduces friction, it can become lubricant. That's right... …The closer it gets to Mongar-Menggar’s control center, the more powerful its control becomes, from giant statues tens of thousands of meters high to microscopic particles as small as nanometers.”

"Then how did you resist the invasion of Menggar-Menggar?" Huang Yehao asked.

"They." Vishal stretched out his tentacles and pointed at the strange race that held him in his palm, Lugubra. "We found them in the Stratos sector. They have very basic The intelligence is basically the same as that of a child, but if an individual lives long enough, they can gain enough wisdom. Such individuals are called elders. Lugubra is a very perfect weapon, and they are very powerful. Infinite, they reproduce very quickly, they can eat anything, no matter what kind of garbage they are, and the most important thing is... they can eat Mongar-Mongal without being corroded by it, of course. Only the Mongal-Mongal that Gubra eats can be digested, and other parts of their bodies are still unable to resist Mongal-Mongal.”

"So, you reproduce very quickly, you are not afraid of death, and you are not afraid of Mongal-Menggal... Congratulations, you have your own combat robot army. Hmm... similar." Huang Yehao said.

"Yes, we used to think so too." Vishal said, "So we raised a large number of Lugubras, and some of their elders were willing to rely on us to get more food. But... this is also a disaster. start."

"what happened?"

"Lugubra did help us resist the invasion of Mongar-Mongal. When Mongar-Mongal found that it could not invade our planet head-on, it began to change its strategy... and surrounded our star sector." Vishal said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yehao and Shepard's expressions changed and they looked at each other.

"Can you imagine? Starting from our home planet, the places where the hyperspace channels reach are all dead areas that have been completely eroded and occupied by Mongar-Mongal. Mongar-Mongal has become lakes on these planets. Rivers and even oceans! Even the air is filled with Mongal-Mongal spores, and it is impossible for our spacecraft to get any supplies. Basically, we can't get out," Vishal said.

The tentacles on his head gradually bent down, as if to express frustration, "Every spaceship and every meteorite may contain Mongal Mongal. And as long as we are not careful, it will invade us. On the planet. Moreover, the bigger problem is Lu Gubula..."

Vishal continued: "We actually have contact with the Kaminoans. At certain special times, the Kamino system will form a channel with us. Therefore, we asked the Kaminoans to help us transform Lu Gubra, the Kaminoans helped, and Lugubra became more powerful...but the problem is that it is also more difficult to control. "

"You can't afford to feed so many Lugubras?" Shepard understood.

"That's right. The explosion of Lugubula has become the most direct threat to our country... We paid extremely heavy losses to control Lugubula."

"Then Mongal-Mongal took advantage of the situation?"

Vishal shook his tentacles and said: "No, it didn't. It just watched all this happily, and then sneaked over to cause us some trouble from time to time. And we didn't let it down... Korok People spend their lives in deception, which is why we have illusions. The blockade in Mongar-Menghar, coupled with the incident in Lugubra, made the Korok society suspicious of each other. and accusations, eventually, that a civil war broke out.”

"The more fundamental reason for the outbreak of the civil war is that after these things, your supplies became extremely scarce, right?" Huang Yehao said.

"That's right." Vishal said, "Mongal-Mongal is very happy. It often controls some people and dances and laughs loudly in the public channel. It says that we are like precious animals in the zoo, burning our lives and taking us away. Give it happiness." (End of chapter)
