Let you do a copy, you do Wuchang: Great Wall Watch

Stekar slowly stood up, his eyes swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at Leo. "The Empire's reinforcements..." He repeated, his tone without any panic, but with an imperceptible expectation. "It's faster than we expected, but this is also expected."

"Sir, what should we do now?" Savile frowned. As the chief strategic advisor, he had to consider all the risks. "The enemy is numerous and we are few. A head-on confrontation is not the best strategy."

"Head-on confrontation?" Stekar chuckled, tapping his fingers on the table. "Saville, you underestimate our 'guests'. They think that numbers and equipment can determine the outcome? How naive."

[This Sterkar is too arrogant, does he really think he is invincible? ]

[But then again, he does have the capital to be arrogant. With the Emperor's Sword in hand, who can stop him? ]

[Don't forget about the black technology. Didn't Elena say she was going to the ruins to look for treasures? Maybe she'll find something amazing. ]

[I think the Empire must have come prepared this time. No matter how powerful Sterkar is, two fists cannot beat four hands! ]

[Just wait and see how Sterkar will turn the tables this time! ]

Elena cleared her throat and said, "Sir, the exploration of the ruins is ready. However, the threat of interstellar pirates..."

"I will lead the team myself." Stekar interrupted her, his tone unquestionable. "Pirates are nothing to be afraid of. As for the reinforcements from the empire..." He paused, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Let them come, I will give them a 'surprise'."

[Wow, Sterkar is going to take action himself. This is going to be a good show! ]

[Looking forward to his showdown with the interstellar pirates, it will surely be exciting! ]

[I am more curious about what kind of "surprise" he will prepare for the Imperial reinforcements. Is he going to kill them instantly with the Emperor's Sword again? ]

[You're overthinking it. The Empire will definitely be on guard against this.]

[Waiting for Sterkar to be slapped in the face +1]

Leo's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent in the end. He knew that no one could change Sterkar's decision.

"Holden, the fleet construction and resource allocation should remain the same," Sterkar ordered. "Don't lose your composure because of the Empire's actions."

"Understood, sir." Holden responded immediately.

"Then, let's go." Sterkar stood up and straightened his collar, his eyes full of confidence and determination. "It's time to let the Empire see what true power is."

……

Interstellar ruins, located in a desolate star field. Huge planetary wreckage floats in the darkness, telling of past glory and destruction.

Stekar led an elite team and arrived at the outskirts of the ruins silently on a stealth warship.

"Sir, this is the entrance to the ruins." Elena pointed to a huge black hole in front of her and said, "The scan shows that there are strong energy fluctuations inside. It is very likely that there is what we are looking for."

"Be careful," Sterkar ordered. "There may be unknown dangers inside the ruins."

The battleship slowly sailed into the black hole, and the surrounding light quickly disappeared, leaving only the battleship's own searchlight, barely illuminating the road ahead.

"Ding ding ding..." Suddenly, the battleship's alarm sounded.

"Sir, there is an UFO approaching!" came the voice of the radar operator.

"It's the space pirates!" Elena's face changed. "They are lying in ambush here!"

"You came just in time." Stekar sneered. "It's a good opportunity to practice with them."

Before he finished his words, several pirate warships rushed out from the darkness and launched a fierce attack on Sterkar's warships.

"Fire!" With Sterkar's order, the warship's artillery fire poured out instantly.

Fierce fighting unfolded in the narrow passage of the ruins, the light of artillery fire illuminated the darkness, and explosions sounded one after another.

[Oh my god, this interstellar pirate is too powerful. He actually dares to fight against Sterkar! ]

[Don't they know that Sterkar has the Emperor's Sword? This is courting death! ]

[Don't underestimate pirates. They must be quite capable to survive in a place like this.]

[Just wait for Sterkar to be taught a lesson by the pirates! ]

[The person above, you may have forgotten how powerful Sterkar is. ]

Although Sterkar only had one warship, its firepower was extremely fierce. With the blessing of the Emperor's Sword, each attack contained huge energy, easily destroying the defense of the pirate warship.

The pirates obviously did not expect that Sterkar was so powerful and soon fell into a passive position.

"Boss, this battleship is too powerful, we can't defeat it!" a pirate shouted in horror.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Seeing the situation was not good, the pirate leader immediately ordered a retreat.

However, Sterkar had no intention of letting them go.

"Chase them and leave no one behind," he said coldly.

The warship accelerated its pursuit and soon forced the pirate ship into a desperate situation.

"Boom!" The last pirate warship exploded in despair and turned into a huge fireball.

"Sir, all the pirates have been eliminated." The radar operator reported.

"Keep going," Stekar said expressionlessly.

The warship passed through the wreckage of the pirate warship and continued to sail deeper into the ruins.

……

Deep in the ruins, a huge ancient altar appeared in front of everyone.

In the center of the altar, there was an object emitting a strange light floating.

"Is this what we are looking for?" Sterkar's eyes were fixed on the object.

"That's right, sir." Elena said excitedly. "The scan shows that this object contains huge energy and is likely the technological crystallization of some advanced civilization."

"Very good." Stekar nodded. "Take it back."

At this moment, countless spots of light suddenly appeared around the altar, and then a group of strange creatures emerged from the darkness and attacked everyone.

"It's the guardian of the ruins!" Elena exclaimed.

"Secure that object," Stekar commanded, drawing the Emperor's Sword.

A fierce battle broke out again.

There are a large number of guardians, and they possess various strange abilities, which cause considerable trouble to everyone.

But with the powerful force of the Emperor's Sword and the cooperation of the elite team, Sterkar gradually gained the upper hand.

"Roar!" A huge guardian roared and pounced towards Stekar.

Stekar's eyes narrowed, and he rushed forward, waving the Emperor's Sword.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Emperor's Sword and the Guardian's claws collided with each other, bursting out with dazzling light.

The guardian was knocked back a few steps, but soon pounced again.

Sterkar did not retreat at all, and continued to wield the Emperor's Sword, engaging in a fierce fight with the Guardian.

……

After a hard battle, everyone finally eliminated all the guardians.

"Sir, we succeeded!" Elena said excitedly. "Yes." Sterkar nodded and sheathed the Emperor's Sword. "Take the object back and study it carefully."

"Yes, sir." Elena immediately arranged for people to carefully put the object into a special container.

"Let's go back," said Stekar.

The battleship slowly sailed away from the ruins and returned to the base.

……

Inside the base, Sterkar stood in the command hall, watching the movements of the Imperial reinforcements displayed on the screen.

"Sir, the imperial reinforcements have entered our sphere of influence," Leo reported.

"Very good." Stekar's mouth curled up into a sneer. "Let them come, I will give them a 'surprise'."

He turned around and looked at Elena. "Any progress in the research on that object?"

"Sir, we have made a preliminary analysis of the structure of the object," Elena reported. "It is indeed the technological crystallization of an advanced civilization, and contains enormous energy. If we can master its technology, our strength will be greatly enhanced."

"Very good." Sterkar nodded. "Continue researching and apply its technology to our fleet as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir." Elena responded immediately.

"Leo, how is the fleet prepared?" asked Stekar.

"Sir, everything is ready," Leo reported. "We can meet the imperial reinforcements at any time."

"Very good." Sterkar nodded. "Then let them see what true power is."

……

Imperial reinforcements, inside the flagship.

"General, we have entered the enemy's sphere of influence." an officer reported.

"Very good." The imperial general nodded. "Pass the order down, all troops are on alert and ready to fight at any time."

"Yes, General." The officer responded immediately.

At this moment, a large number of red dots suddenly appeared on the radar screen.

"General, a large number of enemy ships have been spotted!" the radar operator exclaimed.

"How many are there?" asked the imperial general.

"The number... is incalculable." The radar operator's voice was trembling. "Too many, so densely packed, it's impossible to count them."

"What?" The imperial general's face changed. "How is it possible?"

He quickly walked to the radar screen and looked at the dense red dots on it, his eyes filled with shock.

"This...what's going on?" he muttered to himself. "Could it be that the enemy already knew about our actions?"

"General, what should we do now?" asked an officer.

"What else can we do?" the general of the Empire said through gritted teeth. "Fight! Let them see how powerful the Empire is!"

"Yes, General!" the officer responded immediately.

……

The two fleets engaged in a fierce battle in the starry sky.

The light of artillery fire illuminated the darkness, and explosions rang out one after another.

Although the imperial reinforcements were numerous and well-equipped, they were vulnerable in front of Sterkar's fleet.

Sterkar's fleet not only has the blessing of the Emperor's Sword, but also applies the black technology obtained from the ruins.

These black technologies greatly enhanced the fleet's combat effectiveness, making it impossible for the attacks of the imperial reinforcements to cause any effective damage to them.

"General, our losses are too great!" an officer reported anxiously. "The enemy's firepower is too strong, we can't stop it at all!"

"Damn it!" the imperial general roared. "Are we going to lose just like that?"

"General, let's...let's surrender." An officer said tremblingly. "If we continue to fight, we will be wiped out."

"Surrender?" The imperial general laughed bitterly. "How can I, a dignified imperial general, surrender to the enemy?"

"General, as long as we are alive, we will have a chance to make a comeback."

“……” The imperial general was silent.

He knew that his subordinates were right.

If they continue to fight, they will be completely wiped out.

"Okay..." he sighed and said, "Pass the order down, all troops...surrender."

……

The battle is over.

Sterkar's fleet defeated the Imperial reinforcements with overwhelming superiority.

"Sir, we won!" Leo reported excitedly.

"Yeah." Stekar nodded, but there was no joy on his face.

"This victory is just the beginning," he said calmly. "The real challenge is still to come."

He knew that the empire would not give up.

They will surely come back and launch an even more fierce attack.

And he must be fully prepared to face greater challenges.

……

A few years later.

Sterkar stood on top of the palace, overlooking the entire planet.

After years of development, the planet has become prosperous.

His fleet has become one of the most powerful forces in the universe.

"Sir, what are you thinking about?" Elena walked up to him and asked softly.

"I'm thinking about our future," said Stokal. "We've come this far, what should we do next?"

"Sir, you want to..." Elena hesitated to speak.

"That's right." Sterkar nodded. "It's time to end this."

He raised his head and looked at the starry sky in the distance.

"Terra civilization..." he muttered to himself. "Here I come."
