Chapter 1083: Growing Imperial Domain 4


    re POV


    "The emperor has issued themand, and His Majesty''s orders are absolute." re closed her eyes for a few seconds, and when she opened them again, determination shone in her eyes.


    "We will conquer this in two days." re shortened the timeframe.


    "Do you have a n?" Laura asked.


    "Yes." re nodded. "We will work smartly, targeting the enemy''s greatest strength. Their reproductive capacity, we''ll leave the hive mind unconscious while we deal with the other hostiles."


    "In that case, I can create a virus to make this possible, but I need samples from the hive for the virus to be effective," Kaleb said as he started working on a simtion.


    "Do not underestimate the enemy''s adaptability," Laura warned.


    "As soon as any pathogen affects the enemies, they will create a new generation that is resistant to those pathogens. A simple virus is not enough. A mutating virus is too risky," Laura pointed out.


    "I know. The goal of the Virus is not to kill all of them but to incapacitate the hive. While it is incapacitated, we will eliminate all hostile presence on the and ensure the safety of the world tree," Kaleb said, throwing data from his simtion onto the screen for everyone to see.


    Watching the simtion, re spoke, "For this n to work, we have to go down directly into the hive''s nest."


    "It''s dangerous to leave your posts, you aremanders. What if a hostile force appears?" Even though she knew that was an impossibility, she had to mention all possible scenarios. That was one of the personal lessons the Emperor himself had taught the siblings.


    Always have a backup n B, C, and D for a situation. If the ns are not enough, try force. If force is not enough, just retreat, and join with the Empire. If even that is not possible, fight to the end, the Emperor will protect your soul.


    "There will hardly be a high enough civilization in this sr system capable of space travel, not to mention that the soldiers of the Empire are not ipetent. I trust. them with my life." re looked at the operators who would take care of her ship while she was down there.


    The operators stood up and hit their chest with a fist while nodding rigidly, re could feel their determination.


    "We will follow Kaleb''s simtion to incapacitate the hive, and while it is


    incapacitated, you will kill the enemies around the to prevent the hive mind from transferring."


    The reason for taking such meticulous action is due to the biology of hive-type organisms; the information in the Velnorah file says that an enemy with a hive mind is the most problematic to deal with because they can transfer the ''main'' mind to any individual, making it difficult to get rid of these pests.


    "Very well, I will be monitoring the mission''s progress. May the Emperor protect you." Laura said and then disconnected themunications.


    Making a mental note, re had ten spaceship-ss strategists, and she could bombard the at key points and ensure the highest elimination rate. She had 50,000 soldiers aboard the ten ships in total, each capable of fighting a low-level god and each armed with sma weapons that could melt the enemies.


    She had resources, loyal soldiers, and the advantage; she just needed to use everything wisely.


    Opening a hologram in front of her of the, she began to make an attack n, and in less than a minute, battle ns A through D were created.


    Broadcasting the n to the other ships, she spoke:


    "Communication to all ships, orbit the at these key points, and have the orbital cannon ready to fire at any moment." She turned and began to walk while Kiana, acting as the vicemander of this fleet, apanied her.


    "Conan and Kaleb, get ready for battle. We will ensure the main mission''s sess." "Yes!"


    "Kiana and Caelus, you are responsible for eliminating all hostiles on the once the first mission objective is achieved... Do what you do best."


    A monstrous smile spread across Kiana''s face. Among all the siblings born that day, Kiana and Caelus were the ones who most inherited the demonic side and were killing machines.


    Though they were not on par with John, Conan, and re herself,pared to them, Laura and Kaleb seemed like normal beings, which wasn''t exactly wrong since they were only normal in a group of abnormalities.


    But outside of this group, they were as abnormal as the previously mentioned, especially when it came to battle intelligence. Kaleb and Laura could even be future gods of tactical warfare, a position that was Athena''s in the past and remains vacant for now.


    re and John were natural leaders.


    Conan, Caclus, and Kiana were the berserkers who destroyed everything with the


    fury of the Emperor in their hearts.


    Kaleb and Laura were the ''minds'' of the group.


    "Don''t forget your subordinates, you won''t be fighting alone."


    "Yes." Kiana and Caelus responded. This was one of the lessons etched into them by Scathach, and they would not make the mistake of focusing solely on the fight and forgetting everything around them. They were soldiers, not bloodthirsty beasts. [yers in position, Commander.] The Operator''s voice echoed throughout the ship. re picked up the helmet and ced it on her head while a HUD appeared in her vision, showing all her vital signs and the weapons on her body.


    [Orbital cannons ready.]


    "Wait for my signal."


    [Roger.]


    re entered an isted room and sealed the door. Immediately, zero gravity took over, floating her body as the hatch opened to reveal the below. She slid into a pod that projected holograms of the exact ces to position her feet. Securing herself to the device, she assumed a vertical stance.


    Sirens red at the start of the process.


    [Target acquired, strategicunch ready... On yourmand, Commander.]


    "Initiate."


    Immediately sirens began to sound, and the Operator''s voice was heard.


    [Launch in 3...2... 1... Go]


    [C-000unched into thebat zone... May the Emperor''s grace be with you, Commander.]


    re wasunched directly toward the, her suit glowing with the heat of reentry, but she remained focused, checking the HUD for the programmednding point. Even as the figures of her brothers, Conan and Kaleb, emerged in the sky around her, her gaze remained unwavering.


    As she fully entered the, her senses immediately picked up the enemies looking at her. Slightly slower than her senses, the AI of her suit began topute everything. [Hostile presences detected, calcting hostile threats...] 3 long seconds passed until


    the AI spoke again.


    [Hostile Threats 1,025,654,564,879... Difficulty toplete the assigned mission based on the user''s specifications and those of her allies... Moderate difficulty.]


    Ignoring the Al, re continued looking toward her target. Even as the ground rushed up to her view, she did not move.


    re and her two brothers hit the ground, and a crater opened up on the, but instead of stopping, they kicked the air behind them and propelled themselves further, their bodies now catching dragon fire, melting everything in front of them.


    [Arrival in... 3... 2... 1... Now.]


    When re''s view shifted to a vast open space, she released her wings into the air and


    looked around.


    Immediately, she sensed dangering from behind her, and several humanoid


    beings made of pure acid leaped at her.


    re raised her hand and used her dragon fire to burn the enemies to ashes; as soon


    as the fire appeared, the whole area was illuminated, and she saw hundreds of hostile


    beings all around-she waspletely surrounded.


    Darkness was not a problem for beings like re since she could see much better than a normal human, and even if she couldn''t, her armor was equipped with such


    equipment.


    "So this is the hive." In front of her, a gigantic being was continuously producing more


    and more beings.


    "This being makes no sense. Why does it keep producing more beings? It''s not as if


    there are enemies that need fighting..." Kaleb spoke as he, re, and Conan flew with


    wings outstretched.


    "Yes, there are enemies... Ours." Conan said. "More specifically, the Emperor."


    "...The Emperor''s presence... I understand that makes sense. When the Emperor ''looked'' at this, this Hive must have sensed the danger and therefore started producing more and more beings, and now there are so many enemies." Kaleb


    deduced.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Anyway, there''s no use thinking about this now. Let''s focus on the mission." Kaleb waved his hand, and various pieces of equipment appeared in the air.


    "Kaleb, prepare your equipment. I will collect the samples, while Conan will ensure


    that no one will approach you."


    "Yes!"


    Conan and Kaleb remained in the air to maintain aerial superiority, even though, in


    such a confined space, this superiority meant nothing. After all, the hostiles could climb the walls and jump on them, but being in the air was safer than being on the


    ground. Conan pulled a sword that immediately lit up with pure violet energy and stayed close to Kaleb while climinating the hostiles. With his free hand, he fired his sma pistol, clearly conserving energy since going all out with so many enemies was just foolish. Meanwhile, re flew towards therge pulsating hive as her dragon fire immediately evaporated all the hostiles that jumped at her.


    re entered inside the egg, and her whole body was covered in acid, but the dragon fire evaporated everything that came into contact with her. Continuing to fly towards the hive''s core, she saw a mall pulsating egg. Moving closer to the egg, extra hands


    came out of her suit and approached the small egg.


    After all, only fools would touch an unidentified alien object without adequate


    protection.


    After a moment, the artificial hand touched the egg and took a sample,


    The artificial intelligence spoke in re''s helmet, but with a very different voice: [Data


    acquired, alien species with great reproductive capacity, it consumes the natural energy of the to sustain itsrge hive. Previous data show that this parasite is slowly killing its own by consumingrge amounts of natural energy. Because of this rampant predation, the world tree of positivity cannot fully develop. Possibilities show that this alien race was not naturally born on the but came from outside, possibly from higher sectors, in an attempt to enter this sector. The species has great weaknesses to fire and high temperatures. The species prefers the cold for a better environment, while the hive releases toxic gasses into the''s


    atmosphere.]


    ''I see, that exins why the is so strange. re thought upon hearing the voice


    of Akasha. [Due to the sensitive information issue rted to possible hostiles from high-level sectors, this information will be temporarily ssified as Empire secret level G-7] Empire secrets are confidential information that only those with high ranks can


    ess.


    re, as themander of an entire fleet, has clearance up to level G-4. The higher the level of confidential information, the more ranks are required to ess it. Level G-7 was a level that only the Emperor and Empress could ess.


    re''s ess level may seem limited, but it isn''t. In the entire Empire, only she, John,


    and the Emperor''s most loyal subordinates, like Oda and the demonic elders, have ess to this level.


    This level of ess can grant her information about practically anyone within the Empire. She can also ess records of other soldiers'' missions, including any medical and personal data. This type of trust is given only to the most loyal, and it is also proof


    that re is among the elite of the elites.


    Privacy? Such a thing does not exist, not even in the old modern world. In the Empire,


    it is a luxury for those of Very high rank, like the family of the Emperor.


    Her Brothers have ess only to level G-3.


    Citizens of the Empire only have ess to level G-0, and those with more


    bureaucratic and political jobs only have ess to G-1.


    If you want to gain more ess to confidential information, you need to join the great legion of the Empire''s soldiers and earn the rank of at least captain of arge squadron. Only then will you have ess to level G-2.


    Of course, this is not a rule. If you make a significant contribution to the Empire, you


    can also gain such ess. After all, although the current Empire is more militarized


    due to future wars, the nonbatants are just as important. Contribute to the Empire, and you will be rewarded. This mentality, developed in hell by the Emperor, has not died, and this same ideology is present in the Empire. re quickly exited the hive while keeping the samples safe in a fortified container.


    [I trust I don''t need to mention the importance of keeping the information given to you confidential, correct?]


    "I understand, Lady Akasha. re knew that just the fact that Akasha was telling her


    this was proof of trust. Akasha could very well have just taken the information and left her in the dark, but she didn''t do that. [Good. I will refine the data and only give what is necessary to your team.] [I willmunicate to the Emperor about your team''s involvement and contribution, good work, re Bloodhunter.]


    [Proceed with the mission. Your Brothers are waiting. May the Emperor''s blessing be


    with you.] Akasha ended themunications.
