Battle for the Head

After spending a few days resting with Galacta, Lu Qi received word from Nova Prime. The empires had assembled a fleet equipped with Omni-Wave Projectors, expected to number one hundred thousand ships.

That still fell short of the Kree Empire's remaining fleet, but nearly all of its advanced warships had vanished. Basic warships now made up more than ninety-five percent of its forces, and they were no match in quality.

The Kree Empire's senior officers had vanished too, leaving its defenses in chaos.

Once the other empires realized this, they agreed the time had come. If they waited any longer, the Kree might come to their senses, choose new senior officers, and reorganize their forces. Better to attack now.

Lu Qi had no objections. Megatron already had nearly ten thousand subordinates, including several giants, more than enough to punch through the enemy lines.

They had hardly been idle these past few days, either. They had combed through almost the entire internal database of the Supreme Intelligence. The Kree Empire held no secrets from them now, and it was time to get their hands on something valuable.

Under Megatron's command, the massive fleet set out in the name of the Dark Legion and joined the allied fleet.

The war to destroy the Kree Empire had begun.

Several major developments had taken place on Earth over the past few days as well. Multiple countries announced lunar programs at the same time. Wakanda and China had already published their schedules, while the United States and Russia had begun digging through old spaceflight records.

Looking at China's and Wakanda's timelines, Lu Qi could see that each had its advantages.

China had an established space program and several Helicarriers to build on. With a few straightforward modifications, it could begin testing them in a vacuum.
