Chapter 125 Those Ruled

It was Berwick's Second, Third and Ninth Fleets that attacked Ithras from the middle line.

In the past two days, the fleet has advanced very slowly.

This is the plan formulated by the Berwick Military Command. Douglas wanted to lure the enemy deep. After his plan to form a strong defensive front with his capital star and various bases was disintegrated, his main fleet was divided into several parts to fight against the Berwick fleet. According to the news and intelligence received, the three fleets on the middle line will face the 12th, 13th, 18th and 214th Fleets of Iseras. In addition to these four fleets, the third fleet personally commanded by Douglas is also on their way forward. It should be a central response, convenient to command and ready to support at any time. Help the battlefield of the middle line. In addition, there is an enemy military base between the middle line and the north line. The 19th Fleet of Iseras and the Seventh Fleet attacked by robots on Uontar are stationed here, which can support the northern or middle line within five hours. Between the middle line and the southern line, the 22nd Fleet of Iseras is stationed. You can support the middle battlefield within three hours or the southern battlefield within six hours.

Because the headquarters could not determine the specific location of the enemy's four fleets on the middle line, they could only move forward slowly and send the reconnaissance warships far away, especially when passing through some complex areas such as asteroid belts and nebulus.

More than ten hours behind the three fleets, a large number of Berwick transport fleets and temporarily requisitioned armed business regiment security fleets are also constantly deepening. Their main role is not to fight or provide logistical support to the fleet, but to receive the planets along the way.

Douglas's strategy caused Iceras to lose about a quarter of the planet before he started war. About 200 of these habitable planets, most of which belong to the former Lichma Federation and the Republic of Telsi, were predatoryly destroyed by Iseras in the Illinois War. Both the economy and people's livelihood are extremely backward, and many planets have even declined to primitive farming, pastoral and fishing societies. The total economic total generated by more than 200 planets is not even as good as Berwick, excluding Tianxun Group.

However, there are more than 50 billion people living on these two planets. Isselas can ignore these people, but Berwick can't.

These transport fleets are loaded with a large amount of food and daily necessities, as well as Berwick's trained officials, police and armed ground forces, and some of whom are civilian relief organizations and observers from other countries. Every time a planet is liberated, they will unload supplies, send officials and ground troops, take over government departments, liquidate the nobles and unscrupulous landlords under the rule of Ith, and gradually restore order on the planet.

This practice will greatly increase Berwick's fiscal expenditure, but it has to be done. In the future, these planets will become members of the Zhao and Song Empire. If they can't provide supplies when they need them most, I'm afraid it will be too late to make up for them in the future. Moreover, the release of materials at this time can also get the support of the people on these planets in the shortest time, laying a good foundation for the peace and stability of the Zhao and Song Empire in the future.

Lawrence was once a pearl on the western border of the Kingdom of Telsea. This planet is located at the junction of the Kingdom of Telsi, the Zhao and Song Empire and the Lichma Federation. The large amount of economic income brought by the annual trilateral trade and the existence of many multinational enterprises on the planet make the planet the existence of the Kingdom of Telsi in economic strength second only to the Capital Star. However, after the fall of the Zhao and Song Empire and the rise of the Iceras Empire, the economic situation on this planet has been getting worse day by day. Until Iseras' fleet appeared in outer space, these planets completely collapsed.

Many people living on Lawrence's star firmly remember that day.

Countless Ise la si soldiers landed in various cities on the planet in a large number of troop carriers.

This planet is the first foreign planet captured after the rise of Icerus.

At that time, Zagu, as Emperor Iselas, only said one sentence: "If you want to ensure the blood and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, you have to release their most primitive desires!" On Lawrence's planet, in addition to protecting the materials needed to build the empire, let the meritorious soldiers go crazy. Soldiers don't need to use harsh laws to curb their desires!"

With Zagu's indulgence, countless soldiers poured into the planet like a tide, without the shackles of the law. Those soldiers seemed to be demons coming out of hell. They killed, robbed,**, destroyed, and completely destroyed the originally peaceful planet. According to incomplete statistics, in just three days, the death toll of Lawrence Star exceeded 120 million, countless cities were destroyed, countless valuable materials were looted, countless families were forced to disband, almost no family was dead, and even everyone on the street was killed by crazy soldiers. Killing.

In the subsequent war, although the soldiers of Iceras did not have much time to land on the surface of the planet, every once in a while, especially before a big war, the soldiers would be collectively cast on a specific selected planet and let them kill and enjoy themselves to stimulate their blood.

Large companies, consortia and government departments were plundered by the Ietheras military, and countless materials and equipment were sent back to Ietheras by large transport ships. After small companies and people were killed and robbed by soldiers, the whole Lawrence star immediately became one of the most backward planets in the Southern Universe. The government officials in charge of taking over the planet have no intention to build the planet. They only know greedy exploitation and build gorgeous official residences and villas for themselves, regardless of the lives of the people.

That's what happened in 5244.

It has been eight years now.

In eight years, not only did it not heal the wounds of Lawrence's hearts, but also made their lives worse. Every year, many people starve to death or die from various diseases. Perhaps some people think that it is very strange to starve to death today when they own food manufacturers. After all, as long as organic substances can be found, whether it is directly used food, wild animals and insects, weeds in the wild or seaweed in the water, they can be directly put into the food manufacturing machine to make edible food, although the taste It's unsatisfactory, but it can definitely guarantee a person to live.

Moreover, the price of food making machines is not expensive. For ordinary workers in the Republic of Berik, they can buy one with a salary of two or three months.

People on Lawrence Star do not lack food makers. What they lack is the high-energy blocks that can make food makers work.

Energy block, a kind of clean energy that has long been popularized in countries in the universe and penetrates thousands of households, can be easily bought in other countries. But in Ithrath, the energy block has become the control material of the military. Every year, the energy blocks produced by hundreds of energy block manufacturing companies in the empire must first supply the huge fleet of the military, followed by nobles and officials, and finally ordinary citizens. Usually, when the fleet is not used frequently, it can be bought more or less; but once a war breaks out, the military will reserve high-energy blocks on a large scale for combat, so that the supply will be less, and after being divided by nobles and officials, there are almost no less pieces left for ordinary people.

......

In the northern part of Lawrence's Western Hemisphere, on a wide grassland.

"Ah...oh...oh..."

The little girl's crisp voice floated on the grassland, and she was humming the same song over and over again. The tune of the song is extremely beautiful and touching. Even if there are no lyrics, the little girl sings it in her clear voice, just like a singing little buzzard, which is particularly beautiful.

If Yunyi or Zhao Xiyue is here, she will definitely be able to hear it. The song she hummed is one of Zhao Xiyue's first albums.

While singing, she waved the small whip in her hand. In front of her, dozens of gentle sheep were eating fresh grass with their heads down. Yes, this little girl, who looks less than ten years old, is a shepherd girl, wearing a dirty and ragged coat, and deliberately saw her thin and skinny body from the hole that leaked from time to time.

For a long time, she stopped singing and looked up at the sky. After looking at it for a while, her face showed a heavy look that was extremely inconsistent with her youth.

"Sheep, let's go back."

She drove the sheep and walked towards the sunset.

"Sheep, today is the day when Lord Marbury pays for his work. With this money, coupled with what Grandpa has saved in the past few months, you can almost buy an energy block."

"Unfortunate, I don't know if I can buy it in the market. Since a few months ago, the price of energy blocks has risen a lot. Now I'm afraid it will take 20 imperial gold yuan to buy it.

"What should I do if I can't buy it? The energy block at home has less than 3% of the energy left. Even if it is saved, it is only enough to use it for a week."

"If we still can't get energy blocks in a week, grandpa and I will be hungry. I'm fine, but grandpa is already sick. If I starve again, I'm afraid..."

With that, her tears couldn't help flowing down.

She suddenly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said firmly, "I won't cry. After buying energy blocks, I can save some more money to buy a martial arts secret book. If I have the talent to practice martial arts, I can join the army. If it's worse, I can also be a guard for Master Marbury's family. If you can succeed, you can earn money to treat grandpa. In the future, grandpa will no longer have to sleep in pain every day.

Thinking of a bright future, she smiled happily on her dirty little face and continued to walk forward while singing the song that she didn't even know the lyrics.

She heard this song once when she passed by the window of the villa of Master Marbury Manor. At that time, she was stunned. Although she only listened to it once, she firmly remembered the song. In addition to her grandfather, I'm afraid the credit of this song is the greatest motivation for this little girl to stick to the present.

About two hours later, she drove the sheep back to the village.

Master Marbury's manor is located in the west of this simple village. Compared with the low and dilapidated houses in the village, the manor with three-story buildings is actually the most beautiful building in the village. In fact, Marbury is not a master. He is just the housekeeper of the manor, serving Viscount Birma, who lives in Kirk City more than 300 kilometers away.

When she arrived at the manor that made the little girl full of yearning and fear, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

From time to time, there were loud shouts in the village, and the manor was also in chaos. Before she could enter, a suspended car took off and left the manor and flew far away.

She knows the suspension car, which is the only one in the manor.

Master Marbury left?

She suddenly came to her senses and hurried to the manor with her calves. Today is the day to pay. If Mr. Marbury is not here, who will give her the wages?

Before she entered the manor, she saw an elderly man running to her trembling with a wooden stick.

"Xiaoli, hide with grandpa quickly."

"What's wrong, grandpa... Wait, flock."

"Don't worry about the sheep. I heard that the army is coming. You didn't see that Lord Marbury has run away..."

Pulled by her grandfather, who was suffering from thinness and illness, Millie's little face suddenly lost its blood color.

Army......

She was only two years old when she came to the army last time, and she didn't know much. But she knew that her parents, brother and grandmother were killed by the army that time. Usually, I also know from other villagers what happened when the army came.

For Millie, the most horrible thing is not the wolves in the wild, the Viscount Bilima with vicious triangular eyes, or Master Marbury with a smile but cannibales, but... the army!

The arrival of the army is faster than Millie and her grandfather imagined.

Before they entered the village, the sky suddenly darken and the sun seemed to be blocked by something. Millie and Grandpa couldn't help looking up, and a huge black spacecraft was spraying light blue light, slowly landing on the ground...
