2640. The rise of Dark Nest (Part 1)
"No? Haha... forget it, I shouldn't have expected anything from the tricks played by you wizards." Orman-Marshal Tagg's status is different now, and he doesn't show any pretense towards Dark Prophet Kadann.
"No. I think your company is very safe, Your Excellency Marshal." As a company and a marshal, Kadan's tone was almost full of sarcasm, "So, you just need to send out your capable operators and let them dig out the moths hidden inside."
"So, you have no use at all?" Orman-Tagge said with a sneer, "Then in that case, I won't give it away."
After saying that, he directly dropped Kadan and turned around to leave. Even when leaving, he deliberately kept the communication open, turned off the lights, and left Dark Prophet in the darkness.
However, Kadan was not angry because of this. On the contrary, he just cut off the communication himself.
"Lord... we obviously..." Another member of Dark Prophet said with a frown.
"Galactic Empire's destruction is right in front of us. At this time, there is no need for us to offend the winner." Kadan waved his hand and said calmly, "Moreover, if we really attack the people who have appeared here, Mace-Windu will not let me go."
He smiled and walked out with his apprentice.
The apprentice asked again, "So, are we going to Kingdom of Dawn?"
"The future of the Milky Way is confusing. Where our future lies requires further thinking and meditation..." Kadan looked up at the vast starry sky and said lightly.
After Kadan left, Orman-Tagge began to seek assistance from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and Intelligence Bureau Director Isanne-Isard was very cooperative. She asked Wullf-Yularen, who had just been promoted to Deputy Director and was experienced and calm, to take charge of Tagge Company's related affairs.
The arrival of Wullf-Yularen will also temporarily bring the Inquisitorius personnel remaining at the Tagge Company headquarters under command.
Because after Blackhole suddenly retired, and then successively sacrificed two Grand Judge-Hydra and Latinal-Tobin, Imperial Inquisitorius has fallen into chaos and has almost no ability to perform any actions.
Inquisitorius now has two Grand Judge - Malorum (Malorum) and Ja'ce Yiaso (Ja'ce Yiaso). They are fighting overtly and covertly for the control of Inquisitorius. Until the fight comes to an end, they will definitely not become directors.
But no matter what, at least the personal strength of those referees is worthy of recognition. Wullf-Yularen, as Admiral of the Navy during Clone Wars, had very extensive cooperation with Anakin-Skywalker, Obi-Wan-Kenobi and other Jedi Knight, so his understanding of the Force is much deeper than others.
Wullf-Yularen directly concluded that Kadan was lying. This split of Tagge Company must have the power of the Force!
However, Kadan is the leader of Dark Prophet, and he has made it clear that he is unwilling to participate in this matter, so Wullf-Yularen has no choice. Therefore, Yularen had no choice but to take two magistrates with him and prepare to go to Druckenwell planet to request an investigation into Silas-Tagge.
At the same time, in the Milky Way Galaxy Southeastern Territory, Hutt Space, and within the jurisdiction of Galaxy Thirteenth Imperial Army, the uprising that broke out from the agricultural planet Ujio has gotten out of hand.
When Thirteenth Army Governor Bilur led the fleet to Ujio to counter the rebellion, he was attacked by General Rebel Alliance Gial-Akbar. The entire army was wiped out, and Bilur was also captured by the Rebel Alliance.
After that, Rebel Alliance occupied the capital of the Thirteenth Army, Oded-Paldoran, and Thirteenth Imperial Army was declared destroyed.
Although Thirteenth Army is far away from Hutt Space, and as Hutt gradually integrates into a centralized regime under the leadership of the Goresla Family's leader, Oruba-Goresla, Thirteenth Army has become almost difficult to maintain. Being eliminated by the Rebel Alliance this time only moved the time forward.
But after all, it was one of the Galactic Empire's twenty major legions. The destruction of the Thirteenth Army still gave Galactic Empire a resounding slap in the face. And the person who slapped this slap was Rebel Alliance, whom Galactic Empire has never liked! This is absolutely intolerable.
Therefore, after Imperial-class Supreme Strategic Command reported to Emperor Palpatine, he proposed a plan to respond immediately and send troops to encircle and suppress Deep Sea Fleet from Gial-General Ackbar. The person who executed this plan was none other than Das-Vader!
Imperial military's plan is that Das-Vader currently has two tasks. One is to find Wilhuff-Tarkin's eldest son, Garrosh-Tarkin, and the other is to prepare to send troops to attack Fondor Planet.
At present, it is basically certain that Garrosh-Tarkin was kidnapped by the Rebel Alliance. At the same time, because Battle of Bilbrin Planet failed in the first battle on the Northern Territory battlefield and Horst-General Strege was killed, Galactic Empire is in urgent need of a victory to boost morale.
And this victory is to be found on Fondor Planet, which is one of the largest industrial planets in the galaxy despite insufficient defensive forces? Obviously, there is no complete certainty, and there is no way to complete it in a short time.
For a short-term victory, it is obvious that counterinsurgency is the best.
Therefore, after receiving the personal instructions from Emperor Palpatine, Das-Vader began to assemble a fleet at Denon Planet, preparing to attack and recover Thirteenth Army's capital Oded-Paldolan planet controlled by the Rebel Alliance.
While Das-Vader's frontal attack is only in the open, another battle against the Rebel Alliance has quietly started.
Personally presided over by Imperial Intelligence Director Isanne-Isard, and with the support of several magistrates from Imperial Inquisitorius headed by Second Sister, a secret investigation into the Rebel Alliance's internal agents within the Empire began.
While Galactic Empire was preparing to deal with internal problems, a fire also broke out behind Kingdom of Dawn.
Kilik Swarm!
Sefrans-Tann led a squadron to Celwis (Celwis), where Abathur is leading Togot Swarm to rebuild his nest.
Togot Swarm's brood was destroyed in the previous war with Grysk. After that, Abathur re-created a brood, and then reconstructed Togot Swarm, which suffered heavy losses.
As a master of gene manipulation and evolution, Abathur almost made use of the limited Kilik Swarm genes in his hand. A large number of insect swarms with different functions were hatched. After receiving a large amount of supplies from Kingdom of Dawn from dark channels, the number of Togot Swarm quickly expanded to approximately 600 million within a year.
After that, Abathur evolved a brood that could perform basic hyperspace navigation. According to the plan, it began to harass the border of Chiss territory, and performed a double act with Admiral Qiyala, creating a false enemy for Chiss, in order to maintain the cohesion of Chiss territory.
In other words, a foreign enemy is needed to maintain cohesion, which actually shows in disguise that the foundation of Kingdom of Dawn's rule over Chiss territory is not stable.
However, as Holy Advent Cult begins to take root and spread in Chiss territory, Tang Xiao's plan to rule Chiss territory through religion is being achieved.
Maybe in a few years, Holy Advent Cult will become Chiss territory's largest religion. At that time, Abathur's insect swarm will no longer be needed to play the role of the enemy. This insect swarm will continue to expand and become another secret force of Kingdom of Dawn.
In order to further enhance the strength of Togot Swarm, Abathur also needs to get more of the essence of Kilik Swarm. To this end, he leads Togot Swarm to continuously attack the surrounding Kilik Swarm.
During this year, Abathur destroyed and devoured seven insect swarms and obtained a large amount of evolutionary essence. However, this is not enough!
Togot Swarm's power is still very weak, and the insect swarms that can be swallowed by them are naturally very weak. There are not many useful parts of the essence obtained from these insect swarms.
However, Abathur is very patient. While constantly adjusting and modifying the existing essences, he further explores more Kilik Swarm, preparing to get more essences.
Kilik Swarm is in the direction of Chiss territory towards the east side of the plane star map, in a star area where even the hyperspace channel cannot be explored. In this star area, Kilik Swarm is distributed very widely. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least hundreds of Kilik Swarm tribes.
And by analyzing the devoured broods, Abathur also learned that the deep genes of these Kilik Swarm broods all pointed to a mysterious place—the Colony (The Colony)!
Abathur judged that among the Colony, there is likely to be the essence of the ancient Kilik Swarm. As long as he can get these essences, it is entirely possible for him to regain the glory of Kilik Swarm!
That's right, the insect swarm the Empire that dominated the galaxy a hundred thousand years ago and had the ability to build Midpoint Station, a super weapon that could destroy the entire galaxy!
However, with the continuous exploration in the surrounding star field, Abathur also discovered that Kilik Swarm was becoming more and more powerful, and the current Togot Swarm was no match at all. Therefore, he still needs more supplies and more time.
But at this moment, the edge planet Chiss territory was suddenly attacked by a swarm of insects!
The scale of the attack was not large. A large creature about 40 meters long carried hundreds of various Kilik soldier bugs and flew to the edge planet of Chiss territory. Then it dropped the Kilik soldier bugs and quickly disappeared.
Those Kilik soldiers were killing people on Chiss territory's planet and would not stop until they were all killed by the defense forces.
The number of planets that have been attacked because of this has reached five.
This is nothing, the really troublesome thing is that Kilik Swarm has a characteristic that can be said to be a racial talent. Because Kilik Swarm belongs to the hive consciousness, their individuals communicate with each other through a special biological induction. The manifestation of this biological induction is a biological wave that is very similar to the frequency of brain waves.
In addition, the biological wave of Kilik Swarm is so powerful that ordinary people will be assimilated in a subtle way soon after coming into contact with the individual of Kilik Swarm.
This assimilation is not in the biological sense, but unknowingly, the brain waves of these people will be changed to the same frequency as the biological waves of Kilik Swarm, which allows them to receive the information of the Kilik mother nest, and thus be controlled by the mother nest.
This process is completely subtle and uncontrolled. Even the Kilik mother nest cannot control this process. But the final result is that people who come into contact with Kilik Swarm will slowly be assimilated. And this assimilation process is irreversible, and the transformation is even more thorough than Grysk's control!
The reason why Tang Xiao wanted to use Kilik Swarm to deal with Grysk was because Kilik Swarm's transformation mechanism was far more thorough and deadly than Grysk's mind control!
People who are assimilated are taken - Joiner (Joiner).
Because of this characteristic, it is very likely that some people on the five planets being attacked have already been transformed into Joiner. Moreover, Joiner is very secretive. They look exactly the same as normal people, even when examined with the most advanced instruments. The only difference is that they can receive instructions from the Mother's Nest and act for the benefit of the Mother's Nest.
At the same time, these Joiner are also constantly conveying all the intelligence and information here to the Brood, so that the Brood can have a better understanding of Chiss territory society.
Ziyala, who was well aware of the dangers of Kilik Swarm, immediately ordered the entire Chiss territory border to be sealed. At the same time, people were also sent to ask for help from Kingdom of Dawn.
Kilik Swarm, even after the incident a hundred thousand years ago that may have involved the gods, they have gradually degenerated into an ordinary insect race. However, as a super civilization that once dominated the galaxy, even if they only have a little racial talent, they are already extremely terrifying existences!
It can even be said that compared with the peak period
Compared with Kilik Swarm, Grysk, known as the legendary race, is not even considered a scumbag!
However, what confuses Abathur is that Kilik Swarm has almost completely lost its offensive nature after completely degenerating. After the degradation of Kilik Swarm, they are just alive.
Just like when Abathur first met Togot Swarm, this insect group is just satisfied with hunting some small animals and collecting the fruits of some plants to satisfy its survival. When food is basically enough, these bugs will even lie down and bask in the sun!
Moreover, the intelligence of Kilik Swarm has completely degraded. Even their mother nest is at most equivalent to the intelligence level of a 7 or 8-year-old human being.
Biowave intensity and wisdom are two different things and cannot be equated.
You simply can't imagine that such a race would launch an attack!
Abathur also brought another news - a month ago, there were signs of Galactic Empire's fleet being active nearby, but they quickly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, Kilik Swarm launched an attack!
