squadron of Thunderstrike Bombers roared toward the last anti-air fortress in Upper Hive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their approach was covered by countermeasure flares, allowing them to get within range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of cluster bombs detonated mid-air, scattering hundreds of smaller munitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anti-air defense was

force of the invasion could begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transport ships launched from the warship's belly, flooding the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of these massive carriers, each hundreds

half of the Imperial Court to this planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people would help him establish control over the sector's capital and gradually expand his rule across the entire sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a long process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—he was staying here for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the transports descended, the hive city's

District\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the heart of the repression forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It served as both a military command center and the residence of high-ranking officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, it housed countless torture chambers and prisons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every execution order, every purge directive, had originated from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For decades, this place had been a nightmare for the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without rebellion, the officials invented excuses to kill civilians just to appease Harris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply to prove their loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even their bad moods could lead to mass executions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple signature on a list—another massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was hell for the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the Savior's arrival, the rage of the oppressed exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would burn this hell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saint Fran and Warlord Brown led the rebels in an all-out assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The repression forces fell back under the furious offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the rebels stormed Central Avenue—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering dozens of meters high, a massive hologram of Tyrant Harris loomed over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His image glared down, staring into their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the city's iconic display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hologram's speakers crackled to life, repeating his iron-fisted decrees:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Defying your ruler is treason—unforgivable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slaughter is the foundation of
