A day later, the thousand-meter long space battleship left behind by the S Battleship Squadron left the military base on Planet Helka under the protection of 30 small Rising Spaceships.
More than a thousand Snow Eagle Mechas also followed the fleet.
The fleet slowly passed through the atmosphere. Sparks produced from the rapid friction between the metal and atmosphere flashed past the hull, causing the battleship to drag along countless blue exhaust flames as it entered outer space.
Their target was Planet Terra, which was 100 million kilometers away.
With the support of the warp drive engines throughout the entire battleship, the fleet would reach Planet Terra in a galactic day.
Planet Terra was a planet with a diameter of 40,000 kilometers.
Its size and mass far exceeded that of Planet Helka. It was a medium-sized planet, and its orbit path was also longer.
Thirty percent of the Planet Terra’s crust was covered in water, while 70% of Planet Terra’s surface area was land. The mineral resources and energy crystal reserves present on the planet were both very high.
The intelligent creatures on Planet Terra were Terrarians, a demi-human race.
Since they had to cultivate their physical strength, their growth period was very long. Thus, the Terrarians were colonized by the Bhutlerian bandits, just like the Helkans in the past.
Due to their rapid reproduction rate, they were even treated as rats by the Bhutlerians and not as intelligent creatures.
The Bhutlerians completely used the Terrarians as laborers for mining.
“Captain, there is an unknown communication request. The coordinates are from the nearby Planet Terra.”
When Brian’s fleet reached the outer space of Planet Terra, the Bhutlerians stationed on Planet Terra sent a warning through the communication system.
“S Battleship, show us your pass!”
“Warning, this is Planet Terra, a planet affiliated with Planet Bhutler. We are protected by an interstellar treaty. Please leave quickly. I repeat, this is…”
The captain of the Helkan fleet was Number Two, a male Helkan who seemed to be in his thirties.
Number Two was ranked second in strength among the Sweeper Protection Squad that Brian had trained.
He was calm and cautious.
Since Number One had to protect Brian closely, the captain of this attack on Planet Terra would be Number Two, who had performed well during the interstellar soldier training program.
Like Number One, Number Two greatly adored Brian.
However, as compared to Number One, he displayed much more loyalty and did not simply flatter Brian.
…
Number Two’s eyes were fixed on the photoconductor information display in the battleship cabin.
With a serious expression, he issued an order.
“Inform all members that we will enter the atmosphere of Planet Terra. Tell them to activate the signal shielding device and prevent the Bhutlerian bastards from stealing information.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Open the hatch of the Rising Fighter Spaceships and activate all the Snow Eagle Mechas. At the same time, use the large-caliber electromagnetic cannons to cover the movements of the Snow Eagle Mechas. Destroy the Bhutlerian communication tower in the shortest time possible. Additionally…”
Not long after Number Two issued these orders, the communication tower built by the Bhutlerians on Planet Terra was quickly destroyed.
Then, the Bhutlerian guards, who had lost communication, scurried around like headless chickens.
Some of the Bhutlerian guards did not even have time to equip their mechas before they were mercilessly killed by the Helkan warriors equipped with the Snow Eagle Mechas.
Meanwhile, the guards who were already equipped with the fourth-generation Bhutlerian mechas were bombarded by the large-caliber cannons of the S Battleship.
It was obvious that the defense of the fourth-generation Bhutlerian mechas were inferior to that of the Snow Eagle Mechas. They simply could not resist the attack from the Helkan fleet.
Regardless of whether it was melee hand-to-hand combat or firepower suppression, the Snow Eagle Mechas achieved a complete victory.
Furthermore, they had the protection of the firepower from the several dozen battleships. On the other hand, the Helkan soldiers did not encounter any decent resistance and defeated the main stronghold of Planet Bhutler on Planet Terra.
In a short period of time, the Bhutlerian guards in the Planet Terra mining area who were exposed on the surface of the planet had all suffered a devastating blow.
The arrogant guards in the beginning ended up fleeing in a sorry state.
These Bhutlerian guards never expected that they, as powerful members of the Planet Bhutler Guards, would be attacked by unknown interstellar warships and mechas on their own colonial planet.
What surprised them the most was that the thousand-meter battleship hovering 10,000 meters in the sky was exactly the same as the most famous S Battleship on Planet Bhutler.
Wasn’t that the battleship from the S Battleship Squadron that had passed by Planet Terra recently?
Why had it brought dozens of small battleships and thousands of mechas to beat up its own people?
This abnormal situation almost caused the Bhutlerian guards to collapse.
When the S Battleship had just arrived near Planet Terra, the Bhutlerian guards in the mining area had thought that the squadron had returned after completing their mission.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, they would become their enemies on the battlefield?
However, even if they were prepared, it was useless.
After the Bhutlerian guards issued the warning, the fleet that had arrived from Planet Helka “disappeared” from their monitoring screen.
When they reappeared, the Bhutlerian guards were already under attack.
The strongest offensive weapon that the Bhutlerian guards stationed on Planet Terra were provided with was simply the fourth-generation Bhutlerian mechas.
The fourth-generation Bhutlerian mecha was more than enough to deal with the Terrarians on Planet Terra, who only used brute force.
Their mission was simply to deal with Terrarian miners who did not follow commands. They simply did not have the ability to deal with interstellar fleets.
…
Number Two did not intend to let the remaining Bhutlerian guards off.
“Land on Planet Terra!”
“Snow Eagle Mecha Team, exterminate the remaining Bhutlerians in the Planet Terra mining area.”
“Leave no one alive!”
Less than an hour after Number Two issued his orders, the sounds of battle on Planet Terra had disappeared.
All of the Bhutlerian guards had been wiped out.
The Rising Battleships were equipped with Harris’ newest life-form detection devices. Even if the Bhutlerian guards burrowed 1,000 meters underground, they would still be detected.
The battle had ended!
…
The leaders of Planet Terra were brought to Number Two’s cabin.
There were more than four billion Terrarians living on Planet Terra.
Planet Terra was divided into five major regions, and the Terrarians who were brought here were the leaders of each region.
Looking at the seemingly alarmed Terrarian leaders, Number Two understood their thoughts very well.
He did not look down on them.
Once upon a time, Number Two and the other Helkans were also afraid of the powerful and ferocious Bhutlerian soldiers. After all, back then, they were not much stronger than the current Terrarians.
If not for the arrival of the planet overlord Brian, the Helkans would still be living a hell-like mining life.
It was Lord Brian who had freed the Helkans from the clutches of the Bhutlerians and allowed them to gain freedom.
Number Two ordered his subordinates to put on translation devices on the heads of the Terrarian leaders.
Then, he consoled them.
“There’s no need to panic. We are warriors from Planet Helka. The Helkans are a kind and friendly civilization race under the leadership of the great planet overlord Brian. We are irreconcilable enemies with the brutal Bhutlerians.”
“The Overlord of Planet Helka, Brian, will lead all the Helkans to war against the Bhutlerians in a month. After our victory, we will liberate all the intelligent creatures of planets that have been enslaved by the Bhutlerians like the Helkans, including the Terrarians.”
“However, resisting the Bhutlerians requires all the oppressed to unite. It’s not enough to just rely on our power.”
“Currently, Planet Helka needs the mineral resources and energy support of Planet Terra…”
Number Two looked at the Terrarian leaders, who had calmed down. Then, he continued to guide them patiently and systematically.
“We’re not going to order you to mine and treat you like slaves, like Planet Bhutler has done. Instead, we’re going to work with you.”
“You will provide the minerals and energy, and we will provide the technology. After the Bhutlerians are defeated, we can provide you with enough weapons to defend yourselves from foreign invaders.”
A tall Terrarian leader asked curiously.
“Great Captain of Helka, how can you prove that you are not lying to us? In the past, the Bhutlerians lied to us in the name of ‘cooperation’…”
Number Two’s expression darkened. “How dare you doubt the Overlord.”
However, Number Two soon calmed down.
“Your suspicions are understandable. If you have any doubts about our sincerity, you can look beneath your feet. This warship can prove that I did not lie to you.”
Then, Number Two pointed to the S Interstellar Battleship beneath him.
“This is the battleship from Planet Bhutler’s S Battleship Squadron. This is proof that Planet Helka and Planet Bhutler are hostile towards each other.”
“If we wanted to enslave Planet Terra, we wouldn’t have asked for your opinion so politely. Instead, we would have used our powerful combat power to subdue you. I believe you have witnessed the strength of Planet Helka. Our strength is not inferior to that of Planet Bhutler at all.”
Then, Number Two changed the topic. “However, if we want to completely defeat Planet Bhutler, our civilization needs much more resources to build more interstellar battleships.”
“If Planet Helka is defeated, Planet Terra will once again return to the era where you are occupied by the Bhutlerian pirates.”
At this point, the leaders of Planet Terra were finally convinced by Number Two.
“No, we don’t want to experience those painful times anymore.”
“We agree to cooperate, but you must leave behind some armed forces to protect us. We can’t let the Bhutlerians descend here again.”
“The evil Bhutlerians will finally be defeated by the powerful Planet Helka!”
