The empire fell into the greatest crisis since its founding.
The collective loss of contact with the leaders gave those below a bad feeling, but fortunately the Emperor's philosophy allowed the empire to function normally in this special situation without a leader.
This would be impossible in other theocratic imperial civilizations. An imperial civilization without a leader would produce unimaginable rebellion at the first moment of a power vacuum.
The fact that an empire led by a mortal can still continue to operate shows that the Emperor has foresight.
Although the attack of the Rectification Agreement was fierce, the Empire had already completed its ultimate form, and the Rectification Agreement's determined attack was firmly rejected by the Empire.
No matter how these mechanical fleets attacked, they could not advance the front line even a centimeter.
But now it is no longer as simple as rectifying a galaxy in the game.
While Su Zheng surrounded the empire's territory, the Zero Returners began to slaughter the civilizations outside. These civilizations were nothing more than living matter to Su Zheng, the Zero Returners and the Void Realm.
Under the attack of the mechanical fleets, the people of these civilizations were all enslaved, the materials on their planets were completely drained, and all the materials in dozens of galaxies were used to forge a mechanical planet, which was then placed at a specific location on the front line against the Empire.
As more and more of these giant mechanical planets were placed around the empire, people in the empire could clearly feel a pressure from space.
Gradually, some sophisticated mechanical facilities within the empire began to be frequently threatened, and from time to time some of the defense equipment temporarily malfunctioned.
When the number of mechanical planets placed around the empire reached the thousandth, the biggest loophole since the beginning of the war was created.
An irreversible failure occurred in one of the halo arrays on the outermost line of defense.
The originally tight defense line had a flaw for the first time, and Su Zheng, who had been prepared, began to launch a targeted attack on this flaw.
For this reason, the Empire's first boarding battle with the Suzheng Agreement took place at Guanghuan, along a section of the Great Wall on the southwestern border of the Empire.
This large-scale blocking battle, known as the First Halo Campaign, involved hundreds of millions of troops from both sides.
You must know that after the empire carried out military reform, every soldier of the empire has the strength comparable to an independent high-end frigate.
Calculated in this way, this is equivalent to a large-scale battle involving billions of cosmic god-level civilizations!
Halo No. 04.
After the rectified electronic matrix broke through the halo defense, the Empire upgraded and reformed all border defenses.
Tens of trillions of imperial soldiers acted as human electronic equipment on the front lines, repairing every loophole, except for the small treasury that controlled the core electronic equipment to prevent the Suzheng electronic matrix from invading.
Maintenance of all remaining equipment began to be done manually.
This is a war between flesh and machine.
Outside the broken halo, the imperial troops stationed on the Great Wall were now looking at the huge electronic star opposite.
During this period of time, the empire's warriors have conducted more than a hundred teaching sessions with the opposing side of the Suzheng Agreement.
The Suzheng Protocol, which is frantically plundering support from the outside universe, does not care about the losses on the battlefield. Whenever there is an advantage that can be gained by using military force, they will choose the simplest method without thinking.
To Su Zheng, all other life forms in the universe are merely consumables that can cause losses to the empire.
This reckless fighting style made the empire's soldiers fight in a very passive position.
As the front-line commander, Grey Wind had to give up some strategic advantages in order to preserve more strength.
For the first time, the empire fell into an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation between the troops.
Not only that, there is also a steady stream of mechanical electronic stars being transported to the front lines from all over the universe.
The increasing number of electronic matrices is putting increasing pressure on the empire's outer defenses.
A long defense will lead to a loss. Faced with the crazy attack of the Rectification Agreement, the Empire's Operations Department chose to take the initiative to destroy the outer electronic stars after careful planning.
For this purpose, the Empire urgently dispatched an all-star special forces team to complete this difficult task.
After receiving orders from the Imperial Military Headquarters, Grey Wind at the front also ordered a counterattack.
Dozens of Astartes legions of millions of men launched a counterattack on the front lines of the Rectification Agreement, and the Rectification Agreement sent a force ten times that of the Empire to launch a counterattack.
The two sides fought each other in the starry sky, and the use of various weapons directly led to a situation where even the most sophisticated instruments could not predict the battle situation.
The empire's proactive attack naturally attracted Su Zheng's attention.
This tactic of taking advantage of the chaos was not particularly clever, so the Rectification Agreement was also prepared for this counterattack by the Empire.
Not only on the front battlefield, the Rectification Protocol also deployed a large number of troops at the nodes of each electronic matrix to prevent the empire from stealing the home.
But just as the front line was frantically mincing meat, the electronic star closest to the front battlefield collapsed in the universe.
The entire planet was dismembered and sank into countless pieces, and then turned into tiny cosmic dust as if it had existed for billions of years.
This speed made it impossible for the Suzheng main brain handling the battlefield to determine what methods the empire was using.
And after the entire planet was destroyed, no information or intelligence was transmitted.
How the Empire did this is completely unknown.
That’s not all. In the following period, a planet was destroyed silently every month.
It wasn't until the sixth month that the people on the side of the Rectification Agreement could no longer sit still.
You have to know that they need a huge amount of resources to build such a planet. At the current speed of the empire's advancement, their empire is still far from being a success.
It consumed so many resources but didn't achieve any magical effect, so it was beaten like this.
There was no other way, Su Zheng had to allocate more computing power to predict the empire's next surprise attack.
After the computing power was dispersed, the pressure on the imperial troops on the front line dropped sharply, and the previously disciplined mechanical troops completely lost their suppressive power.
Originally inferior to the Imperial forces in individual terms, the Rectification Agreement now barely tied with the Empire with its numbers.
This clever way of breaking the deadlock is really not something that ordinary people can do.
After pushing the front line out, the empire immediately accelerated the repair of the damaged halo. The loophole there was always a hidden danger that had to be resolved.
But the battlefield on the other side was of a completely different style.
The Thorin Protozoa and the Tyranid Zerg formed a new race and launched a fierce attack on Xian Qin's defense line, and the insects were also used for defense here.
Kerrigan's interstellar Zerg swarm is struggling to resist the attack of the terrifying Zerg on the opposite side.
