Galactic Conflict: I Restore the Glory of Humanity

Chapter 480: Attack on Emerald Port 1

"Welcome to today's Galaxy Express. The imperial army wiped out another enemy remnant yesterday. The sacred emperor's light shone on that dark land. Please watch the broadcast next..."

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, a man turned off the news playing next to him.

He was wearing a gray uniform, his hair was messy, and there was a hint of exhaustion on his face.

The man, named Lewis, was leaning on an old beach chair and carelessly pressed the off button after the news broadcast ended.

It seemed that he was not interested in the news he just heard. Lewis' eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something important. After a while, he took a deep breath and stood up from the chair.

"Honey! Are the pancakes ready? The person in charge of the star port wants me to go to his office in a moment!" Lewis shouted loudly, his voice echoing in this simple hut.

He walked toward the house with brisk steps. After entering, a strong aroma hits your nose. Lewis's wife was standing busy in the kitchen. When she heard her husband's call, she turned her head and handed him a packaged pancake with a smile.

"The milk is on the table, you can get it yourself. Remember to come back early, my dear." The wife said softly, her eyes revealing her care and love for her husband.

Lewis gently took the pancake and felt the warmth in his hands. He nodded, indicating that he understood his wife's instructions. Then, he turned around to leave, but his wife stopped him again.

"Oh, by the way, Lewis. Our daughter has been talking about having a doll recently. When you come home from get off work, when you pass by the store, remember to bring one back to her." The wife added with a smile, her tone full of motherly love.

Lewis' heart warmed up when he heard his wife's words. He nodded again, then resolutely walked out of the room and set foot on the road to Star Harbor.

The outside world was sunny and the breeze was blowing on Lewis' face. Several of Lewis' neighbors saw Lewis walking out of his home and greeted him with a smile, and Lewis responded politely.

The Emerald Star Port is located on the planet Dalhousie in the empire's frontier area. It is a forgotten corner that rarely receives attention from the outside world.

The imperial government usually does not take the initiative to set foot here except for regular visits to collect taxes.

However, for the warships in this galaxy, the Emerald Star Port is an important maintenance point for them.

Warships from various galaxies frequently arrive here to receive comprehensive repairs and maintenance.

As the security chief of the Emerald Starport, Lewis cannot directly command the Astra Militarum or the planetary defense forces stationed on the planet, but his status on this planet cannot be underestimated.

Unlike other planets, there is no huge city like a hive city on the surface of the planet Dalhousie.

Instead, settlements connected by railroad tracks were scattered across the planet's surface.

These settlements vary in size, from small ones housing only a few hundred to thousands of people to large ones housing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Residents live scattered among these settlements.

"Lewis, why do you want to move to the seaside? According to your official position, it is not a problem to live in the family area next to the Star Port!" On the train, an employee who also worked at the Star Port curiously asked Lewis next to him road.

After hearing this, Lewis just replied lightly: "There is no special reason, I just feel that it is not safe there." After that, he continued to drink the milk in his hand leisurely, but his eyes were turned to the endless plain outside the car window, as if in Thinking about something.

While the two were talking, the train slowly arrived at the bottom of the star port. Lewis quickly picked up his belongings and hurriedly got off the train.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, an exquisite-looking reception servitor came up to him.

It said in an emotionless mechanical voice: "Mr. Lewis, Mr. Matt is waiting for you in his office."

Upon hearing the news, Lewis nodded, then reached for the briefcase placed aside and walked towards the elevator not far ahead.

This elevator connects the buildings on the ground of the star port to the battleship maintenance base above the atmosphere. It can be said to be one of the transportation hubs of the entire star port.

As the elevator door slowly closed, Lewis' figure disappeared from people's sight.

The elevator climbed upwards at an astonishing speed, reaching tens of thousands of meters in the air in the blink of an eye.

Lewis glanced down at his watch, and then took quick steps as soon as the elevator door opened.

The corridor was crowded with people, including employees of the star port, crew members of battleships, etc. All kinds of people were walking back and forth in the corridor. Lewis struggled to squeeze through the crowd and finally arrived at the door of the room on one side of the corridor.

"Mr. Lewis, welcome."

Matt, who was sitting at the desk, smiled and looked at Lewis in front of him in a friendly manner, and then handed him a document with the logo of the Imperial Military Affairs Department.

"This is an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, requiring us to strengthen our defense work. Moreover, the general of the 784th Undertaker Regiment of the Astra Militarum stationed on the surface of the planet has also come to me, but recently it is difficult for the Ministry of Military Affairs to come from other places. We've got people dispatched."

Listening to Matt's voice, Lewis frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He slowly turned his head, looked at Matt, and asked in confusion: "Why did the enemy come to attack us? Our place is not a strategic location. Are those things coming to rob the wheat that has just been harvested on our planet?"

Matt took a deep breath and replied solemnly: "I really don't know the specific reason, but since the Ministry of Military Affairs has issued such an instruction, we must be fully prepared for precautions." As he said, Matt stood up from the table He picked up another document and handed it to Lewis.

Lewis took the document and quickly flipped through it. The words and data in the document made his frown deepen. He raised his head and asked Matt in confusion: "Are we going to increase the number of people in the Planetary Defense Force?"

Matt nodded, and then looked at Lewis in front of him to agree.

"Okay, leave everything to me, I will try my best to complete it." Lewis took the document and then said to Matt.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lewis stepped on the elevator back to the surface of the planet.

The moment it arrived on the surface of the planet, a piercing alarm sounded from the ground facilities.

Tens of thousands of unknown warships appeared in the sky above the planet, and then hundreds of thousands of small black dots swooped down from the atmosphere.
