Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1578: Chapter 591: Overwhelming Mobilization, The Entire Clan Joins the War

The piercing supreme alert immediately echoed through every inch of space in the Three Major Star Regions.

Almost everyone could hear the alarm from the public broadcast or their private wrist watch.

Everyone knew what this alarm meant.

This was a First Level war alarm, just one step away from a special war alert affecting the entire Empire.

For the whole Empire, a First Level alert represents a vast local war at the Star Domain Level. However, for humans living in the Three Major Star Regions led by the Far Border Star Domain, this clearly signifies a total war where there’s no hiding place, no escape, and no one can remain unscathed.

Yet, there was no widespread chaos in the Three Major Star Regions, nor any panic-induced riots; instead, everyone seemed very much adapted, carrying a long-awaited sense of relief, "You’ve finally come."

Therefore, even though the war alarm continued to be broadcast hourly across the entire region, the order in most planets and areas within the Three Major Star Regions didn’t collapse; on the contrary, it became more orderly than usual.

This wasn’t due to Ren Zhong’s prophecy.

Ren Zhong’s prophecy indeed had some influence in small circles, but it was usually regarded as mere entertainment.

What genuinely took effect in this special moment, stabilizing the social atmosphere, were those blood stains engraved on the stone tablets of history, and the scars instilled in people’s hearts.

The war between the Mechanical Empire and the other three major human branches has lasted millions of years.

Although full-scale wars were rare, local wars never ceased.

Especially for the Sublimers, who border the Mechanical Empire the most, they launched small skirmishes every few years, large battles every few decades, and every few hundred years a Star Domain Level large-scale local war.

Back then, Marquis Zhenjiang Jin Shi’s hometown fell during a Star Domain Level war, becoming an occupied territory ever since. The Mechanical Empire, having lost vast territories, also forfeited a large quota of usage for the Quasar Supercomputer located in the central area of the Ancient Disk Galaxy.

At that time, Baron Han Zhixin, having obtained a cheap defective version of stealth coating, decided to take a risk, seeking fortune amid danger. He took on a transportation task in a small-scale low-intensity war within another Star Domain. This encounter left Han Zhixin’s family bankrupt overnight, almost bankrupt. The Sublimers also used their technological advantage to plant a pin within that Star Domain.

Stationed at this pin was a Second Class Mother Empress Ship, a genuine quasi-Constant Star Level powerhouse, capable of mobilizing vast energy equivalent to one ten-thousandth of a constant star. This Second Class Mother Empress Ship wasn’t in a hurry to expand its battlefield; it repeatedly burst troops to consolidate the defense line, repelling the Imperial Fleet’s attempts to recover the lost ground. Within the Empire, many believed this Second Class Mother Empress Ship was attempting to establish an entrance to a Fold Jump Subspace Channel, perhaps even a remote Star Gate, aiming to turn this area into a beachhead supporting the next full-scale assault.

To prevent this possibility, the Mechanical Empire dispatched special warfare fleets repeatedly to try to drive it away, at least to thwart its goals. Unfortunately, the productivity, combat command, and scientific research capabilities of the quasi-Constant Star Level Mother Empress Ship were too formidable; the Imperial special warfare fleets never succeeded despite multiple attempts.

Eventually, the Mechanical Empire had to change its strategy, deciding to use a stratagem against them, starting to secretly amass heavy forces on the outskirts of this Star Domain, waiting for the Sublimers’ army to arrive and fall into the trap.

The Supreme Military Department of the Empire also thought that various signs indicated the Sublimers’ next main attack zone should be this Star Domain.

But now it seems, the Sublimers played a very simple and easy-to-understand trick, namely, the strategy of openly mending roads and covertly crossing warehouses.

The Mechanical Empire’s army seemed to be played for fools, but it was also reasonable.

After all, the Sublimers have always been known for their cunning.

The Three Major Star Regions have enjoyed many years of peace, but everyone here was aware that the longer the peace lasts, the stronger the impact of war when it arrives.

Within the Three Major Star Regions, whether nobles or commoners, they’ve been immersed in years of propaganda from the Empire’s administrative system, deeply understanding that the risk of war has never dissipated.

Now, it’s just the dust or fear of many years finally settling.

The administrative system, established by the Mechanical Empire over the years, quickly mobilized.

The conscription order, originating from the Supreme Military Department at the Empire Core, rapidly delegated from top to bottom into the hands of every noble in the Three Major Star Regions.
