The Great Expedition Plan was launched with great fanfare.
This migration is a nationwide migration. Even though the large population necessitates planned migrations in batches, it ultimately signifies that the era of human resistance has passed.
The Great Crusade not only signifies humanity's defeat on the front lines, but also means that humanity will never again possess the power and fighting spirit of the 3K era, and will never be able to return to its former glory!
The Imperium of Man has completely embarked on a path of continuous decline!
Since the start of the Great Crusade, 60% of the Human Federation's productivity has been completely transformed.
Factories that previously produced military supplies shifted to producing infrastructure components and prefabricated housing parts. Military factories that produced military spacecraft shifted to producing large-scale manned spacecraft. Special materials produced by military factories were prioritized for use in the Great Crusade, while the front-line battlefield began to use inferior materials, reducing the amount of special materials in most shells and bullets and replacing them with the original iron and copper materials.
The importance of the front-line battlefield was relegated to second place, and the Great Crusade was placed in the position of humanity's most important need.
In just one year, humanity's Great Expedition Plan was fully launched.
Various spaceships carry hundreds of millions of workers through space jumps to more distant star systems to build space cities.
In just two years, the first batch of space cities were completed, and the space cities near the battlefield star system began to transport people and quickly evacuate.
As the first wave of population migration ended, the second wave of space cities was also completed, and the evacuation routes began.
Under the pressure of a life-or-death crisis, humanity's infrastructure-building prowess has been fully demonstrated, with its momentum even more frenzied than that of the front lines.
With such fervent support, the Great Crusade proceeded at a remarkably rapid pace.
However, despite the Great Crusade, the frontline battlefields had already suffered a complete defeat.
The original front lines were already difficult to defend, and even sacrificing a huge number of people each year could not stop the massive invasion of Aberration.
The sudden reduction of personnel by half is a devastating blow to the front lines.
Since the first year of the Great Crusade, the frontline troops have been completely defeated. In the past, they were able to organize effective resistance, but now, with the sharp decline in population and the emergence of Star System Aberration, the resistance has collapsed in an instant.
The sole purpose of the frontline troops is to use the Gore superweapon to destroy planets, hoping to slow down the process of galactic distortion or even prevent the next Star System Aberration from occurring.
Even so, the devout frontline troops continued to carry out one combat mission after another, just to buy time for the personnel in the rear to evacuate.
However, the advance of the five Sixth Stage Star System-Level Aberration was unstoppable, and any so-called resistance seemed more like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
In just ten years, with the frontline army no longer sending additional troops, the battlefield defenses collapsed rapidly. The planets they guarded were often completely occupied within a few months, and then completely distorted within a month or so.
The Human Federation suffered numerous casualties in the war, with countless Church knights dying on the battlefield, their bodies often unable to be brought back.
This war, which has lasted for over a thousand years, has never ceased for a single moment, and the number of casualties is unimaginable.
Ten years later, the galaxy called Erbes was completely distorted, and the garrison lines were retreated again. The resistance was no longer of much use against the ever-growing number of Aberration.
The dire situation on the front lines alarmed the Holy See, and the Great Crusade Expedition was launched at breakneck speed, hoping that the newly constructed distant star system cities could provide humanity with some time to survive.
However, the loss of one corner led to the collapse of the entire front.
When humanity loses its will to resist in the face of such a life-or-death struggle, defeat is already inevitable.
These mutated life forms, which originally possessed a crazy ability to reproduce and multiply, were somewhat limited in their proliferation when faced with strong resistance. But when there were no more limitations, the result was like an avalanche.
Ten years later, the front-line battlefield was in complete disarray. Ten years ago, the garrison of the same size was able to fight and retreat, and although it suffered repeated defeats, it was always able to organize resistance. However, ten years later, the garrison on the front line has become a lamb to the slaughter. As soon as it shows its face, it will be surrounded and destroyed by an endless Aberration.
With such a disparity in strength, in the year Norton 4400, the frontline garrison suffered its first complete annihilation in this millennia-long racial war.
The entire garrison was completely surrounded by the Aberration, all warships were destroyed, all Church knights were killed, and even when the garrison attempted to enter the Subspace via a space jump, they were forcibly pulled out by the gravity of the Star System Aberration.
This result shocked the world!
But this also means that humanity has been completely defeated in this war.
Since the annihilation of the garrison, the Human Federation has found it increasingly difficult to organize effective resistance.
Firstly, the Great Crusade consumed the vast majority of the Human Federation's productivity, manpower, and material resources; secondly, the number of troops required for the frontline wars was so enormous that even the behemoth that the Human Federation could no longer bear it.
Therefore, since the year 4400 of Norton, the Human Federation has completely lost all ability to resist, leaving only the last path of escape through the Great Crusade.
However, no matter how fast the Great Crusade was, it could hardly surpass the speed at which the five Star System Aberration, carrying their Aberration swarm attacks, advanced.
In fact, the so-called five Aberration are only the initial number.
As humanity's resistance waned, within a mere decade, several more star systems fell, becoming Aberration star systems, which, along with the Aberration army, swept towards human colonies.
The nature of warfare has completely changed. In the past, the goal was to keep human birth rates in check against frontline casualties. Now, the goal is to keep the speed of Great Crusade expeditions faster than the speed at which Aberration can advance.
Doomsday prophecies were rampant throughout the Human Federation.
Despair has completely enveloped this Garden of Eden created by God.
In this atmosphere of despair, another century passed...
