The sky over Belfast.
Gradually dimmed as the sun set beyond the horizon.
The gunfire that had continued for a long, long time also fell silent.
This meant that Lieutenant Colonel Konev's First Heavy Composite Brigade had fully occupied the city.
They had also eliminated the Royal Ulster Constabulary and 3 Commando Brigade, Royal Marines, who had attempted to resist.
The entire city was now under military control. Through the seized broadcasting company, they announced that civilians were forbidden from leaving their homes without necessity.
However, in case of an emergency, they could call the broadcasting company's customer service line, and humanitarian assistance would be provided.
This greatly relieved the people of Belfast.
Moreover, Northern Ireland had a total gun ban, so no serious incidents occurred.
Still, some people whose friends and family had died in the earlier firefights became emotionally and mentally extreme, attempting to attack or insult the Astral soldiers patrolling the streets.
There was no need to explain anything to them. A single shot killed them, and then the Star Bull responsible for cleaning up the battlefield was called in to haul them away.
At this time.
After carefully selecting a location, Lieutenant Colonel Konev decided to deploy the Astral base construction vehicle at Giants Park, north of Belfast Harbour.
There was enough open ground there; they only needed to level the excess trees.
It was also close to the harbour and airport, making it convenient for the navy and Air Force that would arrive later.
It was very suitable as a garrison for the Heavy Composite Brigade.
At the same time, the Small Star Gate also needed to be relocated.
"Deploy the Mobile Command Center!"
Inside the vehicle's cockpit, Lieutenant Colonel Konev first entered a string of passwords into the screen and completed a fingerprint scan.
