As a top scientist, how could Zhou Qing possibly miss any details? So he immediately focused on the key points of the matter.
"Yes!" Mesophile readily admitted, after all, there was no point in hiding it, as the Infinite Empire bore the heavy responsibility of guarding the galaxy.
Since this is their homeland, it is only natural to send a fleet to block the approach of the insect swarm.
There was no need to tell the forces within the galaxy before because they were simply not qualified to fight the Zerg swarm. Even the Eldar were considered useless.
However, the rise of different humans, who have also mastered the ability to fight at faster than light, has made the Infinite Empire see the arrival of reinforcements.
“Our Infinite Empire was already aware of their arrival long before these swarms were drawn here by a starlight erected by you humans from our Infinite Empire.”
Their arrival meant destruction, so the awakened dynasty and our Three Holy Council issued a war order.
"As you, Lord War General, should also know, our Infinite Empire also possesses the ability to travel faster than light. Our faster light speed can directly ignore physics and can be increased to a speed far beyond the imagination of ordinary civilizations."
"Therefore, the Milky Way is far too small for an Infinite Empire. For an Infinite Empire with a soul, we can certainly expand beyond the Milky Way."
However, a civilization without a soul has no future, and simply lacks the will to pursue it.
Zhou Qing agreed with what the other party said. Indeed, a civilization that has mastered faster-than-light travel can control more territory as their travel speed increases.
Given the faster-than-light speed of the space necromancers, how could their territory be limited to such a small area as the Milky Way? Just like after the Human Federation reached a much larger universe, its territory expanded to the size of countless galaxies.
The biggest problem would be if the space necromancy remained confined to the Milky Way. Therefore, Zhou Qing nodded in agreement.
"We had already clashed with these devastating swarms of insects earlier, when we laid a massive defensive net around the Milky Way."
However, as you also know, our Infinite Empire suffers from a severe shortage of military force, especially intelligent life forms, due to the lack of souls.
"Such a lack of manpower makes it impossible for us to completely block the Zerg swarm from the outer reaches of the galaxy."
"In the process of resisting these insects, some small swarms did break through our defenses, but the human empire should have been able to handle it at the time. We had never encountered such a large-scale swarm breaking through our defenses before."
"So I need to check the defense line now. You're calling me now because you need reinforcements, right? I'll arrange for a group of reinforcements to fight alongside you."
Chapter 239 Humanity's glory now rests entirely on the shoulders of your Imperial Guard.
The matter of contacting the Necromancers for reinforcements ended just like that.
After Zhou Qing personally requested reinforcements, the Space Necromancers quickly agreed and immediately began preparing to mobilize them.
This was something Zhou Qing never expected.
He overlooked the importance of the soul to a civilization. If Zhou Qing were to suffer any mishap, the infinite empire of the space undead, which had just begun to rise, would have its hopes dashed so easily.
This is the hope for the continuation of a civilization, and no amount of caution is too much. As long as Zhou Qing needs it, the space necromancers will do their utmost to help.
Of course, this all-out aid does not include resources, since resources are used to buy souls.
Only after disconnecting from the space necromancer did Zhou Qing slowly turn his head and sit down in his seat to think.
This communication with Messofite yielded significant results; he gained a wealth of information, particularly regarding this universe.
In other words, the Necromancers established a strong defensive line in the outer reaches of the galaxy to resist the attacks of these insect swarms.
Therefore, under such circumstances, most of the Zerg swarm's main force should have already been intercepted by the Necromancers.
He then had to reassess the threat posed by the Zerg swarm and just how formidable the Necromancers were. The former was his enemy, and the latter was his potential ally, or rather, his ally.
As long as the Necromancers of Space remain dependent on souls, the entire Infinite Empire will remain Zhou Qing's ally.
What can space undead, who no longer have physical bodies, pursue?
Most of them are spiritual things, or things that symbolize status and nobility.
For example, luxury goods don't conflict with human beings at all.
This is why the Federation of Humans can easily accept robots.
Zhou Qing needed to figure out just how large these insect swarms were, and he also needed to know how powerful the space necromancers were now.
He needs to know what kind of help and threat his enemies and allies can bring him.
However, after thinking for about two minutes, Zhou Qing stopped thinking again.
The current intelligence is still too limited, so there's no need to consider it any further. The priority is to inform Trajan of this news.
Zhou Qing stood up and reconnected with Trajan, who immediately appeared in the communication channel.
"Commander? What were you doing just now?"
"Turajin has brought you a group of supporters from the Necromancer Empire in space. They will send reinforcements to fight alongside you. Remember, they are allies, so don't call them aliens."
"Mechanical life forms can become our allies. There's no need to be overly resistant to them. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, understand?"
Zhou Qing first told Trajan that he would soon have reinforcements, and at the same time he also emphasized some things about the problem of the space necromancy.
The human empire suffers from severe PTSD towards the Iron Legion, or robots.
Furthermore, since the space necromancers and aliens have nothing to do with each other, in order to prevent the Commander of the Imperial Guard from doing anything detrimental to humanity, Zhou Qing couldn't help but give a few more instructions to avoid any scenes he didn't want to see.
Tula was clearly taken aback for a moment, but he quickly nodded seriously.
"Understood, Commander. You can rest assured about me. I am not a reckless person. However, the space necromancers are so powerful that we should be wary of them."
As members of the Imperial Guard, they had many concerns, such as whether the Necromancers in space would pose a threat to the human empire. Zhou Qing answered Trajan's question decisively.
"There is no need for this. The enemy's overall strength is far superior to our current situation. Their military power should be far stronger than ours. We have intercepted most of the Zerg swarm outside the galaxy, which is meaningful to us."
"Moreover, if the other side really has any ill intentions towards us, it wouldn't take them long to destroy us. We have only reached an agreement with them to a certain extent."
"However, the gap in overall strength is huge, so we should trust them as much as possible. If they really have any malicious intent, we are powerless to resist them."
"And as long as the space necromancers still need souls, they won't turn against us. That's all you need to know."
Unlike the Emperor, who was mute and didn't explain many things to his subordinates, Zhou Qing explained things clearly to them and gave a detailed analysis of the situation of the space undead.
Considering the nature of the Imperial Guard, Zhou Qing specifically emphasized the difference in overall national strength between the Necromancers and the Human Empire to prevent the Imperial Guard from doing anything unnecessary.
"I understand, Commander. I will handle it well and will not do anything unnecessary to disrupt your plans."
Since Trajan, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, had already said so, he naturally knew how to deal with the undead in space.
If Zhou Qing hadn't told him that the power of the space necromancers far surpassed that of the human empire, he might have actually tried to be on guard.
But after Zhou Qing said that, he no longer had that idea.
Even the War General has spoken of the Infinite Empire's power, so the opponent must truly be powerful.
"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. Our War Moon will be completed soon. As long as we get the basics done, human development will be rapid."
We will eventually reach a point where we stand shoulder to shoulder with, or even surpass, the undead in space.
After all, they've developed for so many years; catching up to them in just tens of thousands of years isn't easy.
Although telling Trajan directly about the immense power of the Necromancers was meant to prevent the Custodian commander from doing anything unnecessary.
However, in order to prevent the commander of the Imperial Guards from losing his fighting spirit, Zhou Qing still explained it to him.
Have confidence in your future!
With scientists of his caliber supporting human progress, it's 100% certain that we can stand shoulder to shoulder with the space undead, and even surpassing them wouldn't be difficult.
He has that confidence and that brain!
"I understand, General. I will not lose faith. You can rest assured!" Trajan said, and his spirits visibly lifted.
The Imperial Guards have no emotions; Zhou Qing has already solved this problem. If they lose their feelings, are they still human?
That's certainly not the case.
Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Tula's morale soared considerably.
“Go ahead and go. Although the Infinite Empire is our ally, you must show some backbone and not let our ally look down on us.”
Humanity's glory now rests entirely on the shoulders of your Imperial Guard!
Chapter 240 The Power of the Space Necromancer
The glory of mankind now rests entirely on the shoulders of your Imperial Guard.
This made Trajan feel the weight of the responsibility he carried.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Imperial Guard will never allow humanity's honor to fall to the ground; we will defend humanity's honor!"
The humans in this universe have one striking characteristic: they have an almost incomprehensible pursuit of glory.
Glory, glory is everything to them, and they are willing to give their lives for it!
Trajan ended his communication with Zhou Qing and then began to mobilize the Imperial Guard fleet. The Imperial Guard fleet had suffered losses before, but it had also received new supplies during this period.
To date, the Imperial Guard has a total fleet size of 10 ships, with patrol fleets consisting of [number missing].
Fleets from the 108th world of the Misty Starfield are continuously providing subsidies to the Imperial Army.
Importantly, in addition to the force of 10 patrol fleets, the Imperial Guard possessed something even more significant: a greater number of auxiliary ships.
Mass production of warships by Zhou Qing's Misty Star 108 world will take time, but simple modifications to the existing warships of the Human Empire will not take long.
The Human Empire's existing fleet of warships has completed initial modifications and has begun to be deployed to the direction of the Imperial Guard. While the Human Empire's weapons are somewhat lacking in firepower, their strength lies in their sheer power!
The Empire's fleet possessed a large amount of redundant facilities. After these facilities were removed and improved, every warship of the Human Empire became a vessel capable of posing a threat to the Zerg swarm!
In addition to the 10 patrol fleets that serve as the main warships, the Empire has more than 40 auxiliary ships in total.
This number is constantly increasing; almost every day, a large number of Imperial warships are being modified and sent directly to the edge of the galaxy.
As he watched the number of warships in his hands steadily increase, Tula's mood grew stronger every day.
He was now waiting for the arrival of the Necromancers, and Trajan waited for 10 days before their support arrived.
The Void Necromancers deployed more than 10 World Engines, and with the addition of other types of warships, the number of warships that could be deployed in the battle reached 788.
The number of the Necromancer fleet in space is even greater than the combined number of the 10 patrol teams deployed by the human side. After all, the total number of warships on the human side is only 610, and they do not even have planetary warships like the War Moon.
Without a doubt, the Necromancer fleet at this time was far stronger than the human empire, after all, this was only a fleet dispatched by the space soldiers, not all of the Necromancer's warships.
Although Oberon and Trajan were not exactly acquainted, they knew each other, so Oberon first made a direct call to Trajan.
"Human commander, I remember your name is Tula, right? You used to serve under Commander Zhou Qingzhan. I'm in charge of leading this fleet to support you."
"The next operation will be a joint effort between us. My world engine and I will do our best to eliminate those planetary Leviathans in the swarm. I know that your Titans are also capable of killing those planetary Leviathans, so I will send you the specific details of the coordinated operation later."
"You can read it. If you have any other opinions, you can communicate with me and we can discuss it further."
