Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 448: Invasion (Part 4)
Xiao Yu's desk was covered with real-time communication footage of battles taking place in various locations and military intelligence information. Grasping complex situations and commanding on a macro level was a compulsory lesson that no leader of the Universe Army could ignore. The Xiao family was a descendant of one of the Twelve Knights of Destiny, and the family's descendants received the most elite education. In this respect, Xiao Yu's abilities were absolutely exceptional in the Universe Army. Unlike generals like Sang Jishi, who came from military service, the generals from the nobility of Iridium Star had balanced abilities and extremely high levels.
At this moment, the Commander of the Universe Army addressed the troops of the Earth Defense Force who were fighting bravely, "The Chancellor and the people of Earth have placed their trust in you. You are standing on your own homeland, and behind you stand your own people. We of the Star Alliance forces have never asked our soldiers to grapple with the enemy with their lives, but to fight smart. However, today there is no smart way that can be used. Our flesh and blood are the last line of defense. Go and kill those Controllers and let them know that the masters of the battlefield are the warriors of our Star Alliance!"
Xiao Yu had invested a tremendous amount of heart and soul, and at this time, he had to stand with his soldiers. Soldiers from every part of the globe, with different skin colors, previously speaking different languages, were invigorated upon hearing his declaration, checked their equipment, and marched onto the battlefield.
They didn't have time to board any warplanes or spaceships and instead shot out directly from the base. The powerful war vehicles could inflict mass civilian casualties, for this was their own planet. Each of them was equipped with energy weapons that could counter Energy-based Life, preparing to fight the Controllers.
Their commanding officer would instruct them, "If your Battle Armor is damaged and the enemy is about to break through, please end your life like a hero. Otherwise, the Controllers will use your body to harm our comrades and relatives. Please."
Xiao Yu could feel the solemnity and morbidity throughout the Earth Defense Force. Before, the soldiers involved with the Earth Defense Forces had not thought they might really go into battle, as the powerful Star Alliance Universe Army would keep the enemy outside the door. However, when the enemy truly appeared on their homeland, they had no choice but to hesitate no longer. Military orders were as formidable as mountains; once they donned the Individual Armor, the battlefield was right before their eyes and they had to go forth.
"Have the troop ships from Spratly Island set out?" Xiao Yu inquired of his high-level assistant.
The assistant replied, "They moved seven minutes ago, and according to the destination sent by our headquarters, more than six million Bionic Human troops have been deployed globally, and they should be in position within an hour."
"Oh, that's good," Xiao Yu nodded, his face a little low and his eyelids drooping, as if he was thinking about something.
He raised his head and asked his assistant again, "Have the two Star Warrior masters from the Stellar Transmission Academy arrived at Wuya Palace?"
"Yes, the actions of the Stellar Transmission Academy are also swift. Basically, all the Star Warrior troops have also been deployed to the battlefield, and the two Star Warrior masters are stationed at Wuya Palace, safeguarding His Excellency the Chancellor's safety."
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and repeatedly said, "That's good, that's good."
He looked up at the faint golden sky, illuminated by the countless Controllers sparkling above the ground.
"I hope we can fight this battle successfully," he said.

In the black Tiberius Heavy Armor with a towering stature, the energy blade in his hands danced up and down, slashing a Controller attempting to occupy the body of a comrade to death.
The Sergeant Major caught his breath slightly. He turned his head and saw one of the soldiers he had brought out knocked down by two Controllers. Their long arms frantically stabbed the Individual Armor lying on the ground, which, already devoid of energy, couldn't maintain a basic Energy Field and was penetrated by the tentacles.
The Sergeant Major's knees bent and he leapt forward, raised his arm, and from his Beam Gun, fired three shots in quick succession, preventing the two Controllers from dodging and blasting them away. He followed up swiftly, with his Energy Blade moving rapidly, and directly smashed the two Controllers. The energy of the Controllers dissipated, and the Sergeant Major felt as if he could hear their souls' agonized screams as they struggled.
He turned to look at the comrade on the ground, who was now devoid of life.
"It's been a long time since I've fought such a tough battle," the Sergeant Major reflected, adjusting his breathing.
A slight anxiety stirred in him, but this faint anxiety only excited him immensely. Having fought in the universe for so long, he rarely encountered any formidable opponents anymore; it was danger that allowed him, a fierce beast, to fully enjoy the pleasure of battle.
This batch of Orbital Paratroopers were good young men of fine quality. They had trained for a long time, and the intensity of the training was incomparable to any special forces unit of the old era. Groups of three to five formed small teams, circling up and using their weapons to fend off the elusive Controllers.
Moving swiftly, the Controllers, who could vary greatly in size, were quite formidable opponents. If a Controller broke through and disrupted this small formation, the individual Orbital Paratroopers would have difficulty surviving.
Only a monster like the Sergeant Major could handle a Controller on his own.
As he moved, he sensed something and, purely on instinct, swung his Energy Blade. The beautifully glowing Energy Blade directly struck a Controller that had shrunk to micron size. The collision of energies caused an explosion that killed the Controller outright.
That was the Sergeant Major's battlefield intuition, even when facing a group of indescribable Energy-based Life. When they launched an attack, he could still sense their strong intent to kill and determine their trajectory of attack. It was an intuition honed through countless battle killings and encounters, the trick to an old soldier's longevity.
"Sergeant Major, this number, there's too many of them! We must request reinforcements," an Orbital Paratrooper captain shouted. Sweat had soaked through his Individual Armor's face shield, and even the highly effective air-conditioning inside couldn't stop him from sweating profusely.
The Sergeant Major swung his blade and killed another Controller, saving a comrade's life. He shook his head and said, "There are too many of these things; we'll never kill them all. The Earth Defense Force doesn't even have a few million in total, and even adding the Chancellor's bionic human troops, we're only talking tens of millions. These creatures outnumber us by dozens of times. If we retreat, they will immediately rush into the residential areas, or even infiltrate the Shelters. That would cause too many casualties."
The captain laughed bitterly, "It seems we only have one way out of this, and that's death in battle."
The Sergeant Major nodded, "Maybe you will, but I won't. These things can't kill me."
The captain's smile grew paler, "I appreciate your honesty. If I die, take care of my daughter for me."
The Sergeant Major shook his head, "I don't like kids. If the Star Alliance still exists after this ordeal, the government will take care of your daughter naturally."
"You really are unfeeling," the captain couldn't help but complain.
Although one was an officer and the other a non-commissioned officer, no one in the force looked down on this Iridium Star man who was like a bear among men. He was a living legend among the Orbital Paratroopers, a man capable of killing any enemy with extreme brutality.
Losing interest in continuing the conversation with the captain, the Sergeant Major's sturdy calves kicked the ground hard, using the jetpack of his Tiberius Heavy Armor to fly into the sky. On his swift flight path, the Sergeant Major's Energy Blade slashed apart two more Controllers, proving that even such dangerous beings as Controllers were no match for a mighty fighter like him.
He was draining all the energy from his body, a kind of battle he hadn't experienced in a long time. The approaching Controllers seemed innumerable, they were immensely strong, and they could fire Energy Balls. And these Controllers, like they had received the highest level of military training, had very intricate small unit tactical coordination. The Orbital Paratroopers had underestimated these adversaries and initially paid the price for it.
"Damn, who are those people over there?" the captain yelled loudly.
The Sergeant Major looked over and saw a group of civilians dressed people walking towards them with vacant eyes and extremely uncoordinated movements. Not far behind them, a Controller was floating mid-air, with tentacles extending from its body and inserted into the back of their heads.
"These bastards," the captain shouted with bloodshot eyes.
The Sergeant Major's expression was indifferent, "Those are the people who were carrying out anti-Star Alliance activities here. Now they have literally become anti-Star Alliance in action."
The captain hesitated, "What do we do, they are Star Alliance citizens after all."
At this moment, some civilians who were rescued by a few Orbital Paratroopers saw the people coming from the other side and called out to those they recognized.
The captain shouted, "Don't go there, those people are controlled by the aliens!"
Seeing that the Controllers had their tentacles inserted in those people's brains, the newly rescued citizens began to feel afraid.

Without another word, the Sergeant Major took out a more powerful particle grenade launcher and fired at them. The grenade exploded right above the group, instantly blasting five or six people into chunks, and the Controller controlling them was severely injured by the resulting particle jet.
One protester was livid, "What are you doing?! They are not aliens, they're our Earth people!"
The Sergeant Major paid him no mind, but his brows furrowed, "Interfering with the fight on the battlefield and putting me and my comrades in danger, you've got some nerve. If you dare cause trouble for me again, I promise I'll throw you over there, let them turn you into a puppet, then blow you to pieces."
Despite the Sergeant Major's seemingly calm tone, the content of his words were fierce enough to silence the man. The captain immediately ordered the soldiers to evacuate the civilians and led the Orbital Paratroopers to block the Controllers here.
Feeling humiliated, the man pointed at the Sergeant Major and shouted, "Give me your soldier ID! I'm going to report you, you lousy soldier."
Like a fleeting shadow, the Sergeant Major leaped in front of the man, dislocated both his wrists and jaw without a word. The man screamed in pain.
The Sergeant Major threw him to a comrade and, leaving a silhouette behind, walked towards the increasing number of Controllers and said, "You can say I'm a lousy person, but calling me a lousy soldier, that I won't accept."
