Starting from the Planetary Governor

They had received a massive number of war orders—the money for which was to be paid by the Imperial Military Department. Multiple merchant fleets were called over. These merchant ships and transport vessels were going to be responsible for transporting the Alliance Army and strategic materials.

The Tianma Fleet had also been deployed, heading for the Fatches Star Sector. After the navy passed through the Star Realm Tunnel from Flying Wing Star to the Fatches Star System, they would blockade Fatches Tri-Star. They would not rashly attack planets with complete defense systems, but they would surround the three planets from a distance, completely isolating them.

The little boats of the Fatches Family could only honestly nestle in the starport, unable to come out again.

And half a month later, the Alliance's preparations for war had been completed.

The Dragonhawk 3rd Corps, as the main force, had almost all boarded their ships.

After eight years away, they were about to return to their homeland.

Many of them had complex feelings.

Eight years!

Although they had been told from the moment they became part of the Star Realm Army that their future was the vast sea of stars, almost all of them, especially the new recruits who had only been enlisted for a few years, had actually never left their home planet.

When they came to fight on Korolya, they thought it was just going to be a short war. But who would have thought, it turned out to be eight years.

Not to mention those who died, many of those who were alive had gone from youth to middle age, getting married and having children.

Getting married and having children seemed a bit strange for warriors called to the Star Realm Army, but it was a reality that happened to them.

This stemmed from a strategy by Gu Hang.

After consulting with Hans, he allowed the soldiers of the Dragonhawk 3rd Corps under Star Realm Army jurisdiction to take some rotated rest during the military governance of Korolya.

During these rest periods, soldiers getting to know local women, developing a relationship, or engaging in monetary transactions were all allowed. When the Star Realm Army was deployed abroad, they always had to leave some ways for soldiers to relieve stress, especially since most Star Realm Army soldiers were lifetime military men.

Discipline is discipline, but human nature cannot be erased. Alcohol, cigarettes, sex... were inevitable. The first two could fall under the category of normal military supply materials, as for the latter, that was up to the soldiers themselves, provided it was legal. The army has discipline.

However, that was the regular situation. What Gu Hang did was simply to go a step further on this basis, giving the displaced warriors of the Fatches Star Realm Army a more stable environment—a family.

Having a wedding that was not luxurious but full of ceremony; having their own children; spending time with their family during rest periods...

Although the Dragonhawk Legion wasn't part of the sequence of the Alliance Army, under the direction of Gu Hang, their spouses and children could still enjoy the treatment of the Alliance Army dependents. That meant extra allowances, that meant they could be quickly integrated into the Alliance's system and be given a relatively high rank compared to the average person.

This also made the soldiers an ideal partner for the local women of Korolya. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Now, the soldiers of the Dragonhawk Legion were indeed from Fatches, but their families, wives, and children were all in Korolya, which accounted for 30% of the entire army; 15% of the soldiers newly recruited into the legion were outright Korolya people.

They were Star Realm Army warriors, in the name of the empire, to subjugate rebellion, even if that rebellion was their homeland.

With several factors combined, how could these people from Fatches not have complex feelings?

They couldn't help but complain, damn Fatches Family, why rebel?

They really deserved to die.
