While the issue of divine status was still being discussed and communicated on the planet Altana 7, the Second Great Expedition of the Human Empire began again.

Since Fran's Great Expedition and Li Yan's Great Expedition were less than a few months apart, both the middle and lower-class people of the empire who still had unfinished ideas about conquest, and the upper-class nobles who had various ideas about conquest, tended to combine the two times.

The Great Crusade is collectively referred to as one expedition, although the directions of conquest in the two Great Crusades were completely different.

The Fulan Territory faced the southwest border of the empire and the spiral arm of the southwest side of the Milky Way. This conquest was an incremental conquest from scratch, from small to large. Therefore, although the final results were brilliant, the real area affected was not

Vast, relatively speaking, Li Yan’s conquest this time

From the very beginning, elite troops from the Empire and Flanland were invested in the activity, coupled with the support of a large number of warships. Therefore, the entire conquest was not just carried out in the depth of one spiral arm, but at the same time in two areas separated from each other.

The 30,000 light-year spiral arms are conquering simultaneously.

The human empire now has millions of planets suitable for human habitation, and tens of millions of planets that are uninhabitable by humans but can be used. As for the rest of the planets in the same planetary system, they are even bigger. According to the ancient times, every second of the human earth

Based on an average of 4.5 babies being born, the human empire with millions of planets can give birth to tens of millions of babies every second. However, in terms of the actual area under its control, such a huge empire is simply not comparable to humans in ancient times.

The Milky Way itself has about 120 billion stars, and the total number of planets orbiting these stars is in the trillions. The total number of planets and planetary systems that the human empire can possess is no different from a drop in the ocean in such a huge total as the Milky Way.

Even in the current star map of the Human Empire, although the areas controlled by humans are deliberately rendered, in fact, the mappers themselves admit that there are even wider "fog" areas in the galaxy that have not been explored by humans.

The so-called foggy areas are not areas that have never been explored by humans, but were once occupied by humans in ancient times. After the alien space storm swept across the entire galaxy, these areas lost all contact with the earth, and the human empire even passed through the emperor

The Great Holy Crusade launched by His Majesty has restored many of the spheres of influence of mankind in the ancient times, but wanting to possess all the powers in the ancient times is completely a wishful thinking at this stage.

Therefore, for the current empire, the Milky Way is not too small, but too big. The reason why they maintain a certain resistance to various conquests is entirely because an empire that is too huge will only lead to the central power of the empire expanding as the territory expands.

It gradually weakened and eventually became a chaotic human society with various forces fighting each other just like in ancient times.

However, for the people, conquest activities mean more benefits and a broader world. For example, the first half of the second expedition, the Fulan Expedition, although it only conquered dozens of galaxies, it gave mankind

The empire has brought an unprecedented sense of rejuvenation, and now, in the second half of the second expedition, Li Yan's expedition may conquer more galaxies and a broader territory, and the benefits and territory it will bring to the human empire will be even greater.

Just imagining this expedition made all the people of the empire feel excited and excited.

In fact, if this expedition is effective, the empire will not mind turning the expedition into a normal situation. Before the crisis of the empire comes, more battles mean that the soldiers are stronger, and a larger area means that there are more

buffer zone, if possible, the human empire can lock the core battery of every planet on the path of the bugs without any scruples. As long as the bugs appear, the bugs on the planet will explode with the planet, and at the same time, the bugs will have no energy.

Replenish.

Li Yan was very clear about the various expectations of the empire's middle and lower-level officers and the various interstellar teams. However, the army she commanded was too complex and huge, which also required her to show a completely different fighting method from Fran's attack.

Detailed to the second, data comes first, responsibilities are clear, and command is calm.

This is what all the soldiers said about Li Yan after the first month of the expedition.

Different from Fran's simple tactic of charging forward, charging until the opponent is completely overwhelmed, Li Yan accurately grasps the investment of every soldier in her hand. Even though the total number of soldiers in her hand has exceeded one million, there is no

When people see her, she will deploy a conquest team of more than 5,000 people on a planet. As for the chariot brigade, fighter flight brigade, and even battleships, Li Yan carefully calculates and invests in each conquest target planet.

In the first month of conquest, when Fran was at her strongest, she could capture 12 planets and launch attacks on 6 planets. However, during the same period, Li Yan deployed her troops on 112 planets at the same time, and many planet conquests were carried out.

It even requires warships to shuttle back and forth within a planetary system to provide sufficient fire support.

For Li Yan, she does not pursue owning a planet as quickly as possible. What she pursues is to completely own a star field.

This meticulous investment in military strength is based on a full understanding of the natives of those planets, and these reconnaissance information and combat information are what Li Yan loves and handles most. Working in mountains of data, in a few minutes

The idea of ​​completely processing all the information within the house and then facing a mountain of new information happened to Li Yan repeatedly every day.

This attitude that was tougher than desperate shook not only the soldiers, but also the leaders of many Space Marine Chapters who admired it. Some noble officers at the top of the empire also secretly said that if it weren't for Zhang Yi's existence,

, having a wife like Li Yan may not be a bad thing.

It was in such a mountain of data that Meo Nops approached Li Yan. The former Grand Inquisitor looked at Li Yan sitting near a pile of crystal data disks and whispered: "You need to rest, Lord Earl."

Before the expedition, the Imperial House of Lords accepted Fran's request and made an exception by selecting Li Yan as a countess without hereditary inheritance. Therefore, Li Yan is now at the same level as Fran when she went on the Great Expedition.

Li Yan raised her head and glanced at Mei'e Nops, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, after I confirm the plan to conquer this planet in my hand, I will go to rest. In fact, you should know very well that for someone like me,

It doesn’t matter whether you are there or not.”

"Yes, you don't need to rest, but the officers under you need to rest. You see, you have used 4 sets of officer teams at the same time, and now there are not many left who can maintain their condition. You must reduce your workload.

Come down, otherwise you will soon encounter a situation where there are no junior officers to help you complete your orders."

Li Yan skillfully signed her name on the crystal information board and added a few notes. She threw the crystal board to the waiting officer, stretched her body, and then said: "This state is not enough at all. Once the empire crisis comes,

, the situation we need to face will be countless times more difficult and complicated than it is now. If these officers cannot persist in the current situation, do you think they will be able to devote all their strength to the security of the empire when the empire's crisis comes?"

Meionuops turned to look at the embarrassed and ashamed officers in the command room, smiled slightly, and replied: "Okay, no matter what, you can let them rest for an hour now, Ari, the think tank director of Imperial Shield

Stoudet is in the battleship's reception hall, waiting to talk to you."

Li Yan nodded slightly, and casually took out two more crystal plates. As she walked towards the reception hall, she lowered her head to sign and change the information on them. Her processing speed was very fast. Within a few minutes, she had completed all the information about Lucullus 11 and the Philippines.

The troop reinforcement plan and follow-up logistics arrangements for Planet Nairen 3, including fire cover and the investment of the tank squadron, were all drawn up by Li Yan and handed over to another officer who was always with Li Yan until now.

, Li Yan just walked to the door of the reception hall.

Meionops nodded slightly and said to the gray-haired Aristotle in the hall: "Master Director of the Think Tank, Count Li Yan has arrived, and I can only leave you 45 minutes. After that, we may

There are new actions.”

Although Aristotle's appearance has become older, his demeanor remains undiminished. With the gesture that once confused women in the upper-class aristocratic circles on the earth, the director of the think tank smiled at Li Yan and said, "I'm glad to see you."

You, beautiful Earl Lee Yeon.:

Li Yan nodded slightly, without being too polite, and asked directly: "Okay, what's the matter?"

"As for the investment of the Imperial Shield, as you know, the Imperial Shield invested considerable power and resources in this great expedition. At least 2,000 soldiers followed you and participated in the battle. We hope that these soldiers can

He has rich combat experience and can receive certain compensation for his investment in the process of conquest, but

You see, our soldiers were scattered by you and deployed on almost every planet in the entire star field. We can't get their exact battle history, nor can we know the results of their conquest. Well, let's get straight to the point, why hasn't there been one yet?

Planets were conquered, and this speed allowed the Imperial Shield to withstand tremendous pressure on Earth and the human empire."

Li Yan smiled slightly and replied: "No, there are already 12 planets. When you entered the reception hall of the battleship Ocean Goddess, they have been conquered. The conquering soldiers are now cleaning up the trophies. They have harvested the best trophies.

Later, these planets will be delivered to the noble private soldiers and adventurers behind the fleet, and the profits from the sale will be delivered to the Imperial Shield in proportion as discussed before."

Aristotle was stunned, stared at Li Yan and asked: "Are you sure, there are 12 planets?"

"Of course, does the director of the think tank have any dissatisfaction with such data?"

"No, no, no, I'm not dissatisfied. I'm very satisfied with such data. I just find it hard to believe that according to what I knew before, you would invest no more than 5,000 conquest troops on each planet. It's hard for me to imagine.

, how can only 5,000 people conquer a planet?"

Li Yan shrugged and said: "As long as there is complete and detailed information, as long as there is a reasonable and thorough plan, as long as the soldiers who execute the plan strictly follow the requirements and conscientiously implement it, it is not difficult for 5,000 people to conquer a planet, not to mention the heads of these conquering soldiers.

There is a lot of fire support, fighter jets and warships, tanks on the ground, and Baneblade tanks. With such advanced support, it is unimaginable to me that we cannot capture a planet."

Aristotle scratched his head. Although this action seemed very impolite, for an old man who was already twilight, it was meaningless to care about this. He asked in a low voice: "Although this may violate the combat confidentiality regulations, but,

I still want to know, can I see the records of the battles for the conquest of these planets?"

"Of course," Li Yan said: "Once the war is over, the tactical process cannot be kept secret. You can always access every conquest battle related to the Imperial Shield Soldiers, from war preparations to the final result."

After speaking, Li Yan turned to look at Meo Nops and said: "Inform those soldiers to get the battle report of the latest conquered planet. It is best to have Imperial Shield soldiers participate."
