Chapter 1101: Chapter 602, Lord of the Insect Swarm
In Moro’s narration, Gu Hang heard a story.
In this story, the Iron Armor Battle Group was not very different from the many other Loyalist Battle Groups within the Empire.
They were brave and wise, and together with the Furyfla and Bedrock Shield battle groups, they firmly held the region known as the ‘Insect Disaster Star Zone’ in the Princess Star Domain.
This was a star sector originally nad ‘Ankaya’, which was long destroyed. An insect disaster erupted here, and from the void, an Insect Race Fleet appeared, destroying this star sector in a short ti. The Iron Armor Battle Group, whose ho star was within the Princess Star Domain, responded to the call for help and defeated this not-so-strong Insect Race Fleet.
But the crisis had just begun; what they had repelled was rely an advance fleet.
In the 14 worlds of this Insect Disaster Star Zone, insects continuously erged. It seed as if a huge Insect Race Tentacle Fleet was on its way, wave after wave, navigating the cosmos without using the Star Realm Tunnel, surging towards the ‘Insect Disaster Star Zone’.
The Iron Armor Battle Group steadfastly stood guard here, diligently and carefully.
They built a defense line in the ‘Insect Disaster Star Zone’, and when the enemy was few and weak, they could contain the situation within this star sector. But during severe conditions, the defense within the star sector would collapse, and the enemies would ravage the entire star domain, even expanding to the cosmos domain.
First, the Space Domain Governnt, then the Imperial Central Governnt began to gradually pay attention to the persistent ailnt in this area. Various parties started to persistently increase and fortify defense investnts in the Insect Disaster Star Zone, with the Iron Armor Battle Group, who was always fighting on the frontlines, being the first to receive priority support naturally.
Moreover, the Empire knew from the beginning that there was an issue of surplus numbers in the Iron Armor Battle Group. But they turned a blind eye because it was necessary.
First, the Iron Armor were always losing lives, making sacrifices, and hence their forces needed constant replenishnt. The support from the Empire included providing population resources from various regions, allowing them to better screen new recruits, permitting them to recruit in every world of the Princess Star Domain. It’s impossible to strictly keep the number at one thousand, otherwise after a major battle, if hundreds are lost, temporary replenishnt would be impossible.
Second, strictly limiting it to a scale of one thousand would not control the situation within the Princess Star Domain. Either the Empire would have to invest more resources, more battle groups, and more fleets, or allow the Iron Armor to exceed numbers; a choice had to be made. The result was obvious: the Empire chose the latter, not pursuing Iron Armor’s overbirth activity but providing more support, as long as they can hold back the Insect Race for us.
The practical situation was as expected by the Empire; the Iron Armor Battle Group, including at most a few allied battle groups in the vicinity and the strength of the Princess Star Domain, managed to hold back the Insect Disaster.
Similar-scale disasters often required the Empire to pay a far higher price to quell. Not to ntion, the Insect Disaster Star Zone here was a persistent disaster. Without a dark expedition against the source of the Insect Swarm Fleet, targeting the dark outer domain not connected by the Star Realm Tunnel, and eradicating the problem, the swarm here seed to refresh continually, in various sizes.
If they could manage with this minimal cost, it couldn’t be better.
The Alfonso Sect also during this period, funded by the Empire, provided resources to the Iron Armor, and subsequently established a fairly good trade relationship with the Iron Armor Battle Group. Their stronghold Alfonso was just next to the Princess Star Domain and had to rely on Iron Armor to hold back the insects. Additionally, the vast amount of void insect beasts’ bodies, even live specins, provided by Iron Armor, were highly desired by the Alfonso Sect.
These peculiar creatures with strong and inspiring body structures were greatly helpful to the Alfonso Sect for conducting so special research. Even collecting so of the lower-tier insect race corpses had significant bio-material value.
So armor units produced by the Alfonso Sect were made using the chitin exoskeletons of the insect race, which were comparable to steel, and then remodeled and crafted.
They continued this long-term cooperation and their relationship grew increasingly better.
In such a situation, the Empire was not overly concerned about things getting out of control. Though the Iron Armor received acknowledgnt, even extra support, had a star domain as a backing, and had a powerful chanical Sect with three founding worlds as allies, the threat of the insect nest they faced was ever-present and extrely severe. Their strength was constantly being depleted, roughly equal to the reinforcents they received.
Compared to them becoming increasingly dominant, the Empire was more worried for a long ti about whether Iron Armor was getting sufficient support to resist the insect threat.
Iron Armor itself was also concerned about this.
Of course, at that ti, Humphrey Paolo might have already harbored so ambition.
Things changed one hundred eighty years ago when they captured a… peculiar larva.
Later, the Alfonso Sect’s research on it suggested that it was a larva of a Queen, or rather a mother insect of the Void Insect Species.
The birth thod of the Void Insect Species primarily depended on the Queen, who designed and produced all the void insect beasts in an entire Insect Swarm Fleet, including the Living Vessels of the insect race.
