The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2276, The Disappearance of Illusions

Planet Harun Kar, outer space.

A consular-class cruiser painted with the logo of the Galactic Empire left the hyperspace channel and appeared here. On the spacecraft, the navigator debugged the navigation equipment and turned back to report: "Sir, we have arrived at the target planet Harun Kar. There is a space station of the Galactic Empire here. According to the identification code, it belongs to the 114th Escort Fleet of the Galactic Empire."

The two imperial officers standing on the bridge, looking at the badges, are a major and a captain. They are members of this investigation team. They looked at the picture on the holographic star map and nodded, "That's right, a space port and its attached warships. It looks intact."

The major waved his hand and said, "Send a request and prepare for docking. The appearance of this space port does look very intact. We just need to ask them why they have not reported to us for the past three consecutive months. You prepare the report."

"Yes, sir." The captain nodded.

However, after a while, the communicator said, "Sir, there is no response. They did not reply."

The major frowned and looked at the holographic star map. "This is not right. They clearly have spaceships patrolling around. Why didn't they respond?"

"I'm worried that it would be dangerous if we approached without a response." said the captain.

The major pondered for a while and suddenly said, "No, they have no reaction to our arrival, and even the patrol trajectory is exactly the same. This is impossible! Come closer!"

"Yes!" Although the captain had some doubts, he still did it.

The spacecraft approached the spaceport, and sure enough, the patrolling spacecraft had no reaction at all. The spacecraft directly approached the spaceport and docked, and the docking was also completed directly. From beginning to end, the other party had no reaction.

The major thought for a moment and said, "There is something strange here... In fact, there is something wrong with the 114th escort patrol fleet stationed on the planet Harun Kar. In the previous war, a rebellion broke out on the planet Harun Kar, and then it should have left the Galactic Republic. But after that, the 114th escort fleet suddenly entered here without any warning, and the separatists did not occupy this place. Let the soldiers go over and take a look first."

A team of storm commandos in white armor entered the space station from the docking bay, but they soon came back to report.

"Sir, everything is normal in the space station. But... it's too normal." A captain came over and said.

"What does too normal mean?" The major frowned.

"I can't describe it, but there should be no danger. You can go and see it yourself." The captain said.

The major followed the soldiers into the space station and saw that it was clean and bright here, and many staff members walked around and were busy. But the problem was that no one paid attention to them! Even though they were two officers and brought a large group of soldiers, the staff here simply turned a blind eye.

A soldier walked over and hit a staff member who was wiping the table over and over again with the butt of his gun. However, something strange happened. It did hit the man with a bang, but the man did not move at all, and even his clothes did not move. However, the feeling of hitting him was really similar to hitting a human body!

The soldier simply went over to grab the man, but he used all his strength and still could not move the man at all!

"What happened?" The soldier was directly confused.

"Explore all here!" The major waved his hand and gave an order.

Although it felt very strange, the Storm Commando still divided into more than ten teams to carefully explore the entire space station. Soon, the teams reported that the situation here was indeed very strange. All the people seemed to be fixed, and no matter what they did, they could not stop it. But the objects here, such as cups and chairs, can be moved at will.

What's even more weird is that someone blocked a person's way with a chair, but the person actually knew to take the chair away and then continue his actions.

The major now feels that although the windows and tables here are bright and clean, there is a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

At this moment, he is in the restaurant, casually wiping a clean table, and said to the captain beside him: "The dining environment here should be very clean, but the previous investigation team report... I remember everything is normal, but it mentioned that they all had diarrhea after returning, right?"

"Yes, I have also read the previous investigation report." The captain said, "They never mentioned that the people here have such strange things, but just said that the people here are very enthusiastic and very well-behaved."

The major picked up a cup and played with it in his hand, saying: "So, they may be acclimatized?"

As they were chatting, suddenly the lights around them dimmed without warning! Not only that, the surrounding environment also changed instantly, becoming shabby and dirty, with spider webs everywhere.

And the cup in the major's hand was a rotten and blackened skull! !

This scene instantly scared the major! He immediately screamed like a woman, threw away the skull, and jumped directly into the captain's arms.

The entire space station had changed. All the people who were working had disappeared. There was only a ruin here. There was rust everywhere, spider webs and dust everywhere. Except for the neatly arranged tables and chairs, it looked like a place that no one had lived in for decades!

The lights were also flashing, indicating that although there was power here, it was also in disrepair and dilapidated.

The screams of their spacecraft communicator were also heard in the communication, [Commander! The space station has changed! Changed! The entire space station is rusty! It looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time! ]

Soldiers in other places also sent similar reports, and they even heard gunshots, indicating that they were not the only ones who were scared.

This place is not only dilapidated, but also full of corpses! Those corpses have been rotten and scattered everywhere.

This is not the base of the 114th Escort Fleet at all! No, it should be said that the 114th Escort Fleet has disappeared long ago! There are only those decaying space stations and warships!

For several years, everything reported by the 114th Escort Fleet was a scam!

But the question is, who did it?

There was a sudden scream from the soldiers outside, followed by dense gunshots!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

The major ran out quickly, only to see the soldiers firing randomly into the darkness, but it was useless.

In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up! Then, a blood-red lightsaber!

The next second, those fully armed stormtroopers were killed like melons and vegetables. No matter whether they used rockets or blasters, they could not stop the enemy for even a second! (End of this chapter)
