Chapter 1590: Suppressing the Rebels
Andromeda beta 775.
The second fleet of the human expedition fleet arrived here quietly two days ago.
Lang Xiaonian commanded the Second Fleet, and the reconnaissance network of remote star fields like Andromeda β775 couldn't find it at all.
At noon the second day after the Second Fleet arrived at Andromeda β775.
The fief fleet of the Duke of Antudier entered Andromeda β775, and issued a suppression notice to the bottom-level Palesi group of Andromeda β775.
At the same time, without waiting for the response of the Palesi group at the bottom of Andromeda β775, the fief fleet of the Duke of Antudier directly launched an orbital bombardment on the fifth planet.
In Andromeda β775, only the fifth planet has a lot of Palesian low-level populations, and the number of Palesians on the other planets is negligible.
The fief fleet of the Duke of Antudier bombarded the fifth planet of Andromeda β775 in a space orbit of 300,000 kilometers.
boom! boom! boom……
The ruthless artillery fire fell on the surface of the planet, blasting out crimson magma craters.
The fleet flew around the planet, and the artillery fire blanketed it.
The buildings, mountains, and rivers on the ground were all wiped out by the gunfire of the space fleet.
The lower-level Palesi group of Andromeda β775 wailed and screamed in the artillery fire and knelt down to pray to the temple in the distance, atone for their sins, and hope to be forgiven.
However, the artillery fire did not stop because of their prayers, and it still rolled over the surface of the planet like a carpet.
Wherever the artillery fire passed, only ruins and death remained.
The ground cracked and magma surged, creating a land of death.
These low-level Palesi groups never thought that one day, it would be the fleet of the parent star civilization that would drop the artillery fire on their heads.
There are some angry underclasses who try to fight back, try to resist, but it doesn't work.
The low-level ethnic group of Palesi in the remote star field has no fleet, no land-based weapons against the fleet, and is not even qualified to obtain divine energy.
On the entire planet, only planet-level sheriffs are the most powerful.
The sheriff of Andromeda β775 immediately flew to the flagship of the Duke Antudier's fiefdom fleet, made a prayer gesture, and begged to see the commander of the fleet.
He wants to live, wants to ask for life, and if he can, try to keep some of his relatives as much as possible.
However.
The commander of the fief fleet of the Duke of Antudier did not give him a chance to beg for mercy in person. The naval gun turned and smashed his body.
The one-sided battle situation, from the time the artillery fire started, the battle has come to an end.
To be precise, this is not a battle, but a massacre.
A massacre of Palesi nobles on the bottom of Palese.
This kind of massacre is rare in the history of Palese civilization.
Because the laws of the Palesian civilization have already stipulated the power of nobles.
Due to the existence of the belief in the temple, the lower-level ethnic groups in Palesi lived happily in the brilliance of the belief, and rarely resisted the oppression of the noble class.
The aristocratic class can dispose of the lower-level groups at will, but there is no reason, and naturally they will not massacre the lower-level groups who can turn over their income.
...
boom! boom! boom……
The roar of naval guns rose and fell like waves.
On the Shenzhou, the senior management of the Second Fleet of the Human Expeditionary Fleet watched this tragic scene.
The flames from the screen were reflected on everyone's faces, and they could feel the brutality of the massacre even if they closed their eyes.
"Xiao Nian, should we just watch like this?" Eve pointed at the tragic scene in the screen.
Lang Xiaonian is now the commander of the Second Fleet, calm and capable.
younger warriors,
They only dare to call him general.
Not many people can call him Xiaonian.
Only the group of comrades who were selected into the military scientific research class dared to call it that.
"Not only to see, but also to see clearly. If we didn't fight back, the earth would have ended up like this." Lang Xiaonian didn't say this to Eve, but to the new generation of space fighters.
This time, the total number of fighters on the human expedition fleet reached 800,000, four or five times the original number.
Therefore, most of the fighters in the fleet have never experienced the previous expedition.
Even the youngest space soldier had never experienced the event of the Cleanser civilization coming to the solar system, or was still wearing crotch pants at that time, so he didn't have much impression.
Therefore, re-witnessing the cruelty of the Cleanser civilization can allow young warriors to establish a correct understanding.
"The Palesean civilization is the civilization of the Cleaners. Seeing this scene clearly, they are not only cruel to us humans, but also cruel to their own ethnic group."
"The carpet bombardment has already bombarded half of the planet. If we continue to look at it, the life of Palesi on this planet will be wiped out." Eve urged.
"It's about death. Only death can intensify the conflict." Lang Xiaonian said calmly.
"Andromeda β775's Palesi bottom group is asking for help, broadcasting on a large scale, and also sent a signal for help to Caesar's court, do you want to take care of it?" The communication team received the signal from the Shenzhou.
After being illuminated by the radiance of the sanctuary, the lower Palesi group of Andromeda β775 swore allegiance.
Therefore, after they were suppressed, they immediately sent a signal for help to Caesar's court.
"Let them send it. The captain will arrange a communication group to help them forward it. It's best to let the entire Palesian civilization know." Lang Xiaonian was already sitting safely in the main seat of the flagship.
After a while.
He asked: "According to this speed, how long will it take for the entire planet to be bombarded?"
"In about 6 hours, the Duke Antudier fleet will be able to orbit the fifth planet of Andromeda β775, a full circle of carpet-style orbital bombardment." The ship's staff replied.
"There are still 6 hours left. The footage of the shelling was recorded and sent out with a delay of 6 hours." Lang Xiaonian said.
"Why is there a six-hour delay?" Eve asked strangely.
"Because once Mekkatorque knows the situation here, he will definitely find a way to stop it. The sooner he knows the tragedy of the Palesi group at the bottom of Andromeda β775, the better. Don't give him so much reaction time." Lang Xiaonian explained .
"oh!"
Eve suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Yes, the matter that determines the direction of the battle, the more stable the better, the delay is a few hours longer."
...
Although the Second Fleet of the Human Expeditionary Fleet has not yet started to spread the tragic picture of the fifth planet Andromeda β775 being bombarded, Mekkatorque still knew about it in advance.
As the current commander-in-chief of the Palesian civilization, he naturally has channels to know the news.
However, Duke Antudier took precautions in advance and closed the communication between his fief fleet and the home planet.
If you want to communicate, you must go through him.
Therefore, Mekkatorque only knew that the fief fleet of the Duke of Antudier launched a suppression against the bottom group of Andromeda β775, but did not know the specific circumstances of the battle.
After all, there are many ways of repression.
To be gentle, send a fleet to persuade them to surrender.
Based on the belief in the temples and temples of the Palesi civilization, many rebels can be persuaded to surrender.
Mekkatorque yelled at the adjutant while walking towards the St. Reese Hall: "Go and understand the battle situation of Andromeda β775, and pass my order to prohibit the suppression fleet from firing!"
The adjutant took the order and hurried to convey the order.
Mekkatorque broke into the St. Reiss Hall, saluted, and questioned: "Duke Antudier privately suppressed the bottom group of Andromeda β775, I request His Majesty to send guards to arrest Duke Antudier for questioning!"
When Saint Rhys Celatis first decided to suppress Andromeda β775, he thought that Mekkatorque would come to persuade him, so he was not surprised, and said calmly:
"General Mekkatorque, don't worry, it's just a routine suppression of the rebels. This is a very conventional military method."
When Mekkatorque heard this, he immediately had a bad feeling.
From the words of Saint Rhys Celatis, the most important information that can be heard is: he knows about the suppression of the bottom group of Andromeda β775.
However, Mekkatorque, as the commander in chief of the war, did not know.
Not only did they not know, but the entire intelligence department did not obtain any information before the war started.
And his information was still transmitted from the bottom group of the fifth planet of Andromeda β775.
"Your Majesty, am I still the commander-in-chief of the war you appointed? Why didn't I receive any news about this battle in advance?" Mekkatorque began to feel that the internal conflicts at the top of the civilization were getting more and more serious.
"Andromeda β775 is the fief star field of the Duke of Antudier, and it is his duty to suppress the rebel forces in the fief. This does not need to be approved by the military council." Saint Rhys Celatis replied calmly.
"But Your Majesty knew in advance!" Mekkatorque raised his head, with anger in his eyes, and looked directly at Saint Rhys Celatis.
St. Rhys Celatis met his angry eyes, feeling very displeased in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Mekkatorque, are you questioning me?"
"I don't dare. It's just that the high-level civilizations are suspicious of each other, conceal information from each other, and act independently, which will bring serious consequences. If your majesty doesn't trust me, you shouldn't appoint me as the commander-in-chief..."
Filled with righteous indignation, Mekkatorque raised his voice and said, "The failure of the Andromeda α 1024 campaign strategy was the result of a compromise within the high-level civilization.
"I only hope that all forces will work towards the goal of protecting and revitalizing civilization.
"Rather than for self-interest, which ultimately leads to the failure of the war and the crisis of civilization."
Saint Rhys Celatis felt even more displeased when he heard this questioning tone, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you questioning my selfishness and self-interest, which led to the defeat of the war?!"
He yelled and asked in such a loud voice, in fact, because of the thoughts in his heart that had been poked by Mekkatorque.
In this matter, he is indeed selfish.
He just doesn't want to amend the Divine Energy Act, and he also wants to cultivate offspring who can climb the Star God ladder, so the Divine Energy Act is an important guarantee for the implementation of his plan.
Therefore, for his own benefit, he will never agree to amend the Divine Energy Act.
If the Divinity Energy Act cannot be amended, and the problem of the rebellion of the lower-level ethnic groups must be solved, the most direct way is to suppress it.
Therefore, he listened to the lobbying of Duke Antudier and agreed to suppress the rebel group of Andromeda β775.
Fundamentally speaking, he made such a decision out of selfishness.
Now Mekkatorque directly pokes at the deepest part of his heart, making him a little annoyed.
Mekkatorque has been in charge of the fleet for hundreds of years on the Triangulum battlefield, and has seen too many people of all kinds. He has also seen many members of the noble royal family like Saint Rhys Celatis.
Therefore, when he saw the reaction of Saint Rhys Celatis, he roughly guessed what was going on.
At this moment, Mekkatorque felt that the fate of civilization was probably out of his control.
However, facing the current situation, he couldn't give up.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you understand what kind of crisis civilization is facing now?
"If you take a wrong step now, there may be an abyss.
"In the past few decades, we have taken too many wrong steps, and there is no chance to make another mistake.
"If Your Majesty feels that I am not capable of serving as the commander-in-chief of the war, then please ask Your Majesty to relieve me of my duties and let me be the captain of a vanguard fleet and sacrifice my life for civilization."
Advance with retreat.
Mekkatorque knew that it was impossible to use forceful methods to change Saint Rhys Celatis' decision, so he could only advance by retreating.
Saint Rhys Celatis frowned when he heard that Mekkatorque was about to step down as the commander-in-chief of the war, and said softly, "Don't worry, I believe in your ability.
"As for the matter of resigning from office, don't mention it again.
"Suppression of the Andromeda β775's bottom group is imperative.
"Let's look at the effect of repression, as long as those rebel groups see the consequences of rebellion, they will not dare.
"Let's see the effect of the suppression first, and then discuss it."
When Mekkatorque heard this, he knew that he still had some weight, and felt that there was still hope.
Now that St. Reiss has made concessions, Mekkatorque continued: "In this case, the suppression can be carried out, but the process must be remotely commanded by the Military Council.
"Please also invite Your Majesty to invite Duke Antudier and let him hand over the command of the fleet."
Although Saint Rhys Celatis did not want him to intervene, but he could not let him step down as the general commander of the war, so he had to agree.
Pass down the order to summon Duke Antudier.
After a delay of more than half an hour, Duke Antudil entered the Saint Reis Hall.
As soon as Mekkatorque saw Duke Antudier, he asked, "Why are you here so late?"
"I want to command the fief fleet, how can I have time?" Duke Antudil asked coldly.
"Even if you don't come here in person, holographic image communication is fine. You'd better not procrastinate on purpose." Mekkatorque snorted coldly.
"General Mekkatorque, is this going to convict me?!" Duke Antudil did not give in at all.
"Your Majesty has the final say on whether to convict or not. Now you hand over the command of the fief fleet to the military council." Mekkatorque urged.
When the Duke of Antudier heard this, he was immediately furious: "What do you mean? Is this trying to seize my power? Let the military council take charge of it, and just say that the fleet will be handed over to you!"
"Hand over the command of the fief fleet, I don't have time to waste with you now, and Andromeda β775 must not fight!" Mekkatorque raised his voice angrily.
Just then.
A message came.
The fief fleet of the Duke of Antudier bombarded the fifth planet of Andromeda β775 in a carpet bombardment, massacring 300,000 Palesi low-level ethnic groups.
The news spread throughout the Andromeda galaxy in the form of images, and the massacre was bloody and brutal, unprecedented in history.
Seeing this information, Mekkatorque froze in place.
At the same time, there was a sensation among the lower-class groups of the entire Palesian civilization, the conflict between the noble class and the lower-class groups intensified, and civil war broke out, which could not be stopped.
