227: All personnel, prepare for war! Those who invade our territory, no matter how far away, will be punished!

When Lu Chen's ultimate declaration, filled with god-like dominance and resolve, "The first cosmic war of Earth Civilization begins now," clearly echoed on the bridge of the expedition, the entire bridge erupted.

All the heads of state, who had just been fiercely infighting over the damn choices of "fight" or "flee"!

It was as if a powerful stimulant had been injected directly into their souls!

One by one, they suddenly climbed out of the cold abyss of despair!

Their faces were filled with determination!

In their eyes, flames burned!

"Fight!"

"Exactly! Fight!"

The newly appointed acting commander of the Western Alliance was the first to jump up from the ground!

His face, which had always been full of "weakness" and "compromise," for the first time showed a ferocious smile, full of bloodlust and madness!

"Although our Western Alliance is no longer the world police it once was!"

"But!"

"The indomitable Viking blood still flows in our veins!"

"You want us to be homeless dogs?!"

"No way!"

"I suggest!"

He looked at the calm Eastern God on the video screen!

His voice hoarse, he roared:

"From today onwards!"

"All the armies of all humanity will be unified and reorganized into—"

"The Earth Expeditionary Force!"

"With Mr. Lu Chen personally serving as the Supreme Commander!"

"I don't believe it!"

"With the combined strength of all humanity!"

"We can't defeat a bunch of small cosmic"

"bugs!"

His tragic declaration, full of "burning bridges" and "fighting with one's back to the wall," instantly ignited all the heads of state present!

"That's right! Let's f***ing do it!"

"We, human civilization, will never be slaves!"

"Isn't it just a damn Star Devourer?! If one comes, we kill one! If two come, we kill two!"

All at once! The oppressive atmosphere of fear on the entire bridge was swept away! Replaced by a pathological, mad, and tragic sense of shared hatred

and heroism!

They knew.

From this moment on!

They would fight for a common goal—

Survival!

And, fight!

Meanwhile, on the video screen.

Lu Chen looked at this "historic" scene before him.

There wasn't the slightest ripple on his face.

As if all of this was only natural.

He just calmly looked at the group of "Earthlings" on the screen, who had been completely pushed to the brink, and slowly said:

"Very good."

"Since everyone has agreed."

"Then"

"I announce."

"The Earth Expeditionary Force is officially established!"

"My first and only order is—"

He suddenly stood up from the captain's chair!

In his black eyes, vast as the universe, burned a mad fighting spirit that could make even gods and demons tremble!

Fighting intent!

"All hands prepare for war!"

That afternoon.

A "general mobilization for war" more magnificent and exhilarating than any before!

Officially began throughout the Solar System,

the prelude!

"heavenly craft!"

On the expedition, Lu Chen's voice was cold and resolute!

"Bring me both the Kyushu fleet and the Winged People Civilization's Holy Light fleet!"

"Establish a death defense line in the Kuiper Belt that will ensure no enemy can return alive!"

"Defense line!"

[Yes, Master.]

"Elder Ye!"

"Here!"

"How is the 'troop surge' plan for the god of fire No. 2 Interstellar Shipyard progressing?"

"Reporting, Commander Lu!" Ye Qingcang's old face, always full of iron and grit, was now filled with fanaticism and confidence! "Our current production capacity is one hundred Kyushu-class ships per day!"

"Not enough!" Lu Chen shook his head without thinking, "Too slow!"

"I want you to increase the production capacity to a thousand per day in the shortest possible time!"

"A thousand ships!"

Ye Qingcang and all the bigwigs present gasped in unison!

"Furthermore!"

Lu Chen ignored their ghost-like expressions and continued to issue orders!

"Accelerate the code name for civilization self-salvation project as well!"

"I want to see it before the Star Devourer arrives!"

"Our human civilization's own divine sky curtain!"

"Completely envelop the entire"

"Solar System!"

"Yes!"

All at once!

The entire human civilization, this vast and precise war machine!

Began to operate frantically with an unprecedented terrifying posture!

Countless top talents!

Countless most precious materials!

Countless most advanced equipment!

From Earth, Mars, the Moon,

from every corner of the Solar System!

Converging frantically towards that cold, dark, death-filled Kuiper defense line! That stance!

It was simply the ultimate gamble, betting all of human civilization's future and hope!

And at this moment.

Hundreds of light-years away from the Solar System.

Amidst that overwhelming, sweeping black locust

army.

A cold, emotionless collective consciousness, filled with destruction and cleansing.

Was slowly communicating.

[Target locked.]

[Carbon-based Monkey Civilization.]

[Estimated arrival in three months.]

[Prepare for]

[Meal.]

They didn't know.

While they were still excited about the upcoming "feast."

On their path forward.

A death net, woven by an Eastern God even more terrifying and unreasonable than them!

A death net, capable of making even gods and demons tremble, had quietly opened!

"Commander Lu."

On the 'Jing' class flagship, 'War Wolf' looked at the dense, blood-red light points rapidly approaching on the screen!

In his tiger-like eyes, filled with iron and grit, a raging fighting spirit burned!

"The fish have arrived."
