Chapter 604, Parasitic Infection

The reason why Gu Hang had to wait for a shipbuilding cycle before was that the war potential of the Alliance was greater than that of Iron Armor, and this fact could not be changed. Gu Hang was confident under the general trend. No matter what changes happened outside, I would remain unmoved and ensure strategic determination.

However, strategic determination does not mean that there is really a plan, and you don’t care about anything and insist on it regardless of any changes in the situation.

The war potential must be re-evaluated because of the arrival of new intelligence.

If the Zerg is included, who dares to say that Iron Armor, which is expanding in various parts of the Magre star field, is not good?

After receiving Gu Hang’s warning, the Empire was also a little flustered. On the one hand, they sent people to confirm the correctness of the intelligence to prevent Gu Hang from talking nonsense. There are two people from the Mars and Holy Terra governments who are rushing to meet Sebastian Moreau.

But to be honest, sending envoys is not important. The journey is long, and it will take a year to arrive at the destination. If we wait until the confirmation is completed before doing anything, I am afraid that the opportunity will be lost.

This information confirmation will only be important if Gu Hang is confirmed to be talking nonsense. Now, all parties in the empire must act on the premise that the information provided by Gu Hang is accurate.

The most obvious thing is that the northern line will be strengthened. The Anti-foreign Inquisition, which was originally just joining in the fun and helping out, has become very interested. They sent more Silver Watch warriors and took out a lot of treasured techniques to deal with the Zerg. Under the escort of a large number of Inquisitors and Storm Troopers, they reinforced the front battlefield.

The main reinforcement is the northern offensive, hoping to help Marshal Mathieu Leroy to solve the Zerg swarms on the northern line as soon as possible and officially launch an attack on the core area of ​​the Iron Armored Corps.

At the same time, their manpower also came to the Mager Space Domain in large numbers to investigate and even prevent the Iron Armored Corps from releasing Zerg swarms in the Mager Space Domain and devouring worlds one by one as Gu Hang guessed.

The Sun Fleet, which had been in a state of assembly, finally set off. Some ships have not arrived yet, and some Star Army Corps have not yet been fully staffed, but the situation has been forced to this point, so there is no condition to wait any longer.

They stopped the assembly work and hurriedly set off to the Tianwang Universe. While continuing to defend the connection between Tianwang and the Spider Universe, they also launched an attack on the Magre Universe. The follow-up troops are still on the way, so they can only be supplemented in the team later.

To be honest, this is a risky decision.

But fortunately, the bad situation did not happen.

The leader of the Ortopis Regiment, Lu Salilius, personally led the team to open up the star tunnel from the Tianwang Universe to the Magre Universe. The Iron Armor Regiment did capture this place first, but the troops they left here were not sufficient, and even the two worlds connecting the two sides of the tunnel had not been completely pacified by the Iron Armor. Under the powerful attack of the Ortopis Regiment, it was quickly repelled.

Then, the commander of the Salilius regiment further dispersed the troops, controlled dozens of worlds around the astral tunnel connecting Tianwang, and tried to establish a strategic buffer so that the entire army would have a relatively stable territory.

At the same time, they also sent ground troops into these worlds. The inquisitors of the Anti-foreign Order are particularly important. They need to assess whether the surfaces of these planets have been invaded by the Zerg?

The result is true.

They found signs of Zerg corruption in almost every world.

This is very bad information. Even when Gu Hang knew it, he was prepared, and he was sank.

Has even the worlds of the Magre Universe close to the Tianwang Universe been infected? The Iron Armored Regiment has just arrived in these worlds not long ago! Their actions are too fast.

What is more worrying is that even these marginal areas are like this, what about those worlds that have been taken by the Iron Armor? Even the base camps like the Princess Star Domain?

Of course, people can't just think of the worst. Among these bad news, there are relatively good ones, that is, the corruption of these worlds is not too serious. Generally, there are only some cults supported by Iron Armor, or organizations that use the Empire's state religion as a cover to spread the corruption of the Zerg privately. The eggs parasitize on people and breed symbiotic worms, which will change the physical form of people and then change their thoughts.

People who are infected can basically be said to be hopeless, and they will spread further and infect more people.

But fortunately, the number of infections is not large and can still be handled.

The most serious worlds are nothing more than flowers everywhere, plus a few void Zerg digestion pools and incubation pools supporting systems, hidden in the bottom of the nest city, hidden in the mountains and jungles, raising some Zerg troops.

But even in the worst worlds, at least the local government institutions are still functioning. When Tiekai was driven away and the Empire nominally recovered these worlds, the local forces, with the support of the Empire, especially under the preaching of the Inquisition, understood what the so-called sects that Tiekai had suppressed and refused to deal with were, and after they became afraid of the fate they were about to face in the future, they also had to launch self-rescue actions.

The local forces were assembled, with the Imperial troops as the guidance and cutting-edge force, the local defense forces as the backbone, and the main goal of the whole people fighting against the Zerg infection, and a vigorous global action was launched.

After obtaining this information, Gu Hang breathed a sigh of relief.

Lewis Salilius, the leader of the Ortopis Regiment, is a very reliable and sober person.

Gu Hang is afraid that if such a top-level Space Marine is the commander-in-chief, they will get sick. Many Space Marines think that they are above mortals, do not care about mortals, and only want to wipe out the enemies of the empire. As a result, when they really get down to business, they are impatient and confused, making a mess of the situation.

But fortunately, Salilius is not like that.

His approach coincides with Gu Hang's idea.

To solve the corruption of those Zergs, whether strong or weak, and to prevent the Zerg from eventually devouring the entire world, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the power of the Empire's Central Army.

If that is the case, there are thousands of worlds in a universe, and no matter how many troops are dispersed, it will be a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem.

It is necessary to mobilize the local forces of these worlds, let the local residents understand that they are in a life-and-death crisis, and inspire them to fight themselves, so that there is a chance of victory.

The first thing the Central Army has to do is to drive out the Iron Armor forces, end their occupation, and prevent Iron Armor from suppressing the self-help behavior of local forces;

Secondly, it is to strike at the stubborn points and make the local resistance smoother.

At the same time, a large amount of supplies must be provided to support the local forces in each world and strengthen their resistance.

Gu Hang was relieved to see that Salilius did a good job in these aspects.

In fact, he was also prepared to do so.

The army of the Alliance has entered the Nepeta Star Region and the Alfonzo Star Region.

At this point, Gu Hang finally ended the strategic determination he had been insisting on.

Even if the shipbuilding cycle in the rear is almost completed, he can't wait any longer.

Now, every time a world is taken down earlier, there may be fewer Zergs to face in the future.
