The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1947. God of Decay (Part 2)

Shepard was fired.

Because of two things-the extermination of the Xilu people and the handing over of human battery technology. In both cases, her decisions went against Tang Xiao's instructions.

Regarding the Xilu people, Shepard believes that no matter how heinous crimes the Xilu Empire has committed, this crime only needs to be borne by the senior officials of the Xilu Empire. The civilians of the Xilu people are innocent and must not be blamed. Civilians are also punished for mistakes made by high-level officials.

Therefore, she firmly opposed the extermination order of the Xilu people.

However, officials from the Dawn Principality told her that according to investigations, the Xilu Empire exterminated at least seven races during its expansion, turned all of these races into human batteries, and massacred at least tens of billions of people. Therefore, the crimes of the Xilu Empire are absolutely countless.

And because the use of human batteries has penetrated into every aspect of Xilu people's lives, they even use the energy of human batteries to boil water. In other words, even the civilians of the Xilu people, they watched a living being twisting painfully on the human battery without changing their expressions and heartbeats, and then still ruthlessly extracted energy from their bodies.

Therefore, every Xilu person is an accomplice to the genocide committed by the Xilu Empire!

On the contrary, although the Pyak people occasionally use batteries, most of the time they use ordinary energy. Even in the warships they built, human batteries accounted for less than one-third, and these were all irreplaceable parts based on technologies based on human batteries.

Therefore, the Xilu people must be exterminated, because every Xilu people has taken it for granted to ignore the lives of other races. If such a race is not exterminated, will they wait for them to slow down and continue to treat other races inappropriately? people?

Therefore, the genocide order against the Xilu people was finally issued, no matter how much Shepard objected. And in this matter, there are not many people who support her. Even many people in the exploration fleet feel that the Xilu people should be exterminated.

In addition, Tang Xiao asked for the human body battery technology to be handed over, but Shepard objected even more firmly. Of course, on the matter of human batteries, the people in the exploration fleet still have the same opinion, that is, this technology must not be allowed to spread.

They are worried that the Dawn Principality will become another Xilu Empire. Even if this is not the case, other Xilu Empire No. 2 and Xilu Empire No. 3 may be born because of this technology.

Not only that, even the Pyak people hate the technology of human batteries. After all, whenever the Xilu people run out of batteries and cannot find other races, then it is the Pyak people who are tied to the battery. .

Therefore, before the instructions from the Principality of Dawn came, they had already started to clean up the human battery technology. With the help of the Piaik people, by the time Tang Xiao asked them to hand over the technology, basically this thing was in Levi's hands. There is nothing left of Planet K.

Then, Shepard, who was straightforward in his work, still took the matter personally and had a direct conflict with Tang Xiao.

In the end, even though Tang Xiao got angry for a while, he just let it go. After all, he was just curious about the human battery, and he didn't think it was very important. He just let it go. However, he was still very angry at Shepard's disobedient behavior, and immediately dismissed Shepard.

Shepard is now just a private on board the Normandy, and the commander of the spacecraft is now Ashley Williams.

Shepard didn't care about this. After all, the exploration of the unknown star field was not a matter of a day or two. Anyway, she had no intention of returning to the Dawn Planet. Tang Xiao only dismissed her but did not transfer her back. This approach also showed his attitude.

The Siru people began to be sent away in batches. They were concentrated on one of the colonies occupied by the Siru people and then executed by orbital bombardment. And the entire process of executing orbital bombing is controlled by robots, with absolutely no human soldiers participating.

Execution of prisoners is no better than on the battlefield. Such organized extermination will have a great psychological impact on the executioners, and they are likely to become cold-blooded demons or even lunatics. Such unstable factors must not appear in a team like the Exploration Fleet that has left its homeland in the first place.

Admiral Lepic was imprisoned in a high-level prison on the planet Levik, along with the most senior officials who had been captured. The plan is to send them back to the Dawn Planet for a public trial, and at the same time promote them as one of the achievements of the exploration of the unknown star field.

After all, the elimination of the Xilu Empire was an act of justice for the Dawn Principality, and it was natural that it would be widely publicized.

However, since being captured, General Lepic and other high-ranking officers who were captured together have been in a state of depression, and they don't know why. But this is not unexpected. In the eyes of the soldiers guarding them, they fell directly from the empire's highest military commander to a prisoner. It is normal for some to be unable to accept this gap.

Lepic was leaning against the wall, his whole body weak, and he let out a moaning moan.

At this moment, something like brown sludge suddenly flowed out from under his body. The sludge seemed to be alive. It flowed silently along the corner of the wall to the door of the cell, and then slipped through the crack in the door. Got in.

The two guards who had been standing at the door had no idea what was happening. They just stood straight and stared outside the cell.

But they didn't realize that the threat came from the direction of the cell!

The mud has been creeping up their trouser legs and has become so thin that it can't be seen without looking carefully. Then, it went directly into the ears of the two guards!

The guard immediately felt an itch in his ear. He scratched it, but found that the itching feeling seemed to have gone to his head, so he knocked on his head and felt uncomfortable.

Then suddenly, they only felt a pain in their brain stem! Then all the discomfort disappeared, so they muttered whether they felt uncomfortable, changed their defenses to take some medicine, etc., and continued to stand guard.

This happened not only to Lepic, but also to the senior officers who were captured with him at the time. A stream of sludge flowed out of their bodies. This sludge flowed out of the cell as if it were alive, and then began to Seize every opportunity to get into everyone you knock down!

What's even worse is that a stream of silt kept flowing, and finally got into a camp where the Xilu people were imprisoned! This place holds a total of 10,000 Xilu people! !

The next day, the soldiers who were changing the defense came to the prison, and the soldier in charge of the gate came to the guard box, but before the handover started, he realized that something was wrong.

Because the soldier standing guard was standing in the wrong posture at all! He stood crookedly, as if his body had no strength. He looked careless, not like a soldier, he was clearly a drunken hooligan!

"What are you doing!?" The soldier who was changing defense shouted angrily. Such a thing happened in the Army of the Fourth Civilization with strict military discipline. It is a complete shame!

"Ah...I'm sick." The soldier said, but his voice was very hoarse and did not look normal at all.

The guard-changing soldier immediately became vigilant and took a step back. "What happened to you? Report it immediately!"

"I..." The soldier showed a weird smile, and the next second, he suddenly started and pounced forward! ! (End of chapter)
