Chapter 1092: Does the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance Know Our Differences?

A few minutes later, the connection was established.

The figure of Yingxin appeared in the holographic projection; she was sitting at a desk with several books and a Data Pad spread out before her.

"Brother Sanguinius! Where are you? I see the background is a Bridge!"

"I am at the front lines, little one."

Sanguinius asked with a smile.

"Preparing to execute an important Task. What about you? What are you busy with?"

"I am writing a report."

Yingxin made a face.

"A report about the importance of rules. Two thousand words! I have already written one thousand two hundred, but I feel like there is still so much I want to say."

"Take your time, think clearly before you write. True understanding is more important than word count."

"I know. Brother Fulgrim helped me organize my thoughts, Brother Perturabo gave me some data regarding security systems, and Brother Magnus explained the philosophical principles behind the rules... everyone is helping me."

"Because we all care about you. Furthermore, through this incident, we are all learning. You are learning the importance of rules, and your brothers are learning how to better guide and protect you."

Yingxin was silent for a moment, then said softly.

"I really wanted to see the Titan, but I shouldn't have done it that way. Next time I will ask first."

"That is the right thing to do. So, besides the report, is there anything else interesting lately?"

"Mother is teaching me to identify new herbs!"

Yingxin became excited.

"There is a type of Vine plant from the 'Emerald World', and its leaves can be made into a very good pain-relieving ointment. Mother says if we can cultivate it on a large scale, it can help many injured soldiers."

"Give my regards to your mother," Sanguinius said. "Tell her she will surely help many people."

"I will! When will you be back?"

"I will return once the Task here is complete. However, I will be in contact regularly. You can tell me about the progress of your report, and I will also share some of the situation at the front. Of course, the parts I am allowed to say."

"It's a deal! Then... you must be careful, Brother Sanguinius. I know you are powerful, but please be careful nonetheless."

"I will. You take care as well, and study hard. When I return, I want to hear you play the new instrument you learned."

After the communication ended, Sanguinius continued to stand on the Bridge, looking at the starry sky.

There were sixty-eight hours left until the attack began.

During this time, the fleet needed to complete final deployments, the troops needed to complete pre-battle preparations, and the Commanders needed to check every detail one last time.

This was the meaning of the Star Alliance, and also the meaning of the Primarch's existence.

Sanguinius opened the all-fleet communication channel.

"Attention all units, this is Sanguinius. In the next seventy-two hours, we will complete the final preparations before the operation. This is an important Task, and the goal is to open a path for the Star Alliance to the core region of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance.

I know many of you have participated in many battles, and have experienced both victory and loss.

Please remember why we fight; not for conquest itself, not for glory or personal gain, but to create a future where Humans do not have to fear external enemies and do not have to worry about survival."

The officers on the Bridge stopped their work and listened quietly.

On other warships, soldiers gathered in front of their Communication Device.

"Prepare yourselves, warriors. Check your equipment, familiarize yourselves with your Tasks, and coordinate with your comrades.

For the Star Alliance, for Humanity, for the future we share a common Faith in."

Planet K-79, underground Command Center, three hundred meters deep.

Nasaer stood before the holographic tactical table, his purple skin glowing with a metallic luster under the cold light.

The Third Eye on his forehead opened slightly, and data-like light flowed within his pupils.

At this moment, three images were projected on the holographic tactical table. On the left was K-77 Commander Tailakesi, and in the middle was K-78 Commander Woluoke.

"The fleet assembly of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is complete."

Tailakesi spoke up.

"According to reconnaissance data, they have at least ten battle groups and over two hundred warships. This is not a probing attack, but a full-scale invasion."

Woluoke's Third Eye flickered slightly, indicating he was retrieving data.

"My analysis results are the same. What is more troublesome is that they are not concentrating their forces to attack one point, but have large-scale deployments at all three jump points. This means..."

"They intend to attack our three planets simultaneously."

Nasaer took over, his Third Eye opening completely.

"Foolish, or bold?"

"Angron and Sanguinius."

Tailakesi spat out the two names.

"Two powerful warriors of the Star Alliance, known as Primarchs. If the intelligence is accurate, they are each responsible for one direction, and the third direction may be a joint force."

Woluoke pulled up a set of energy readings.

"Regardless of what it is, they are making final preparations. The fleet has begun tactical maneuvers, and the landing craft groups are moving into standby positions. I estimate the attack will be launched very soon."

"What about our reinforcements?"

Nasaer asked, his gaze turning to the communication panel.

"Where is the Capital Ship fleet our council promised to send?"

Tailakesi pulled up a star map; a red route extended from the core region of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance, and its destination was the very Triangle Sector where they were located.

"The Seventh Main Fleet is rushing over at full speed. But even using continuous jumps, it will take at least one hundred and forty hours to arrive."

"One hundred and forty hours."

Woluoke repeated the number.

"We must hold out independently for at least five days. Five days facing two Primarchs and their entire fleet."

Nasaer's Third Eye flickered rapidly.

"Has the Huzhun Xitong upgrade been completed?"

Tailakesi replied.

"Completed yesterday. The orbital shields of the three planets have been connected to the core energy network, and the strength has increased by three hundred percent. Theoretically, it can withstand orbital bombardment at the Capital Ship level for at least seventy-two hours."

"What about the ground defenses?"

Nasaer continued to ask.

"The ground defense system of K-77 is ninety-five percent complete." There was a hint of pride in Tailakesi's tone, "Forty thousand fixed turrets, twenty thousand Missile Fashijing, five thousand underground fortresses, all networked, covering the main strategic targets of the entire continent. In addition, I have three hundred mechanized legions and 15 million soldiers, all well-trained."

Woluoke chimed in: "The terrain of K-78 has obvious advantages. Mountains, canyons, and natural cave systems—I have already integrated these geographical features into the defense system. The underground fortification network extends over kilometers in depth, and all key facilities are located inside mountains or deep underground. If the Star Alliance wants to occupy K-78, they must fight for it inch by inch, and pay a price for every meter."

Nasaer nodded, then reported on his own situation.

"The defense of K-79 is relatively weak, this is a fact. But my fleet is the strongest, with two complete sub-fleets. Moreover, my troops have the highest mobility and are adept at rapid response and counter-attack operations."

Nasaer paused for a moment, and his Third Eye turned toward his two colleagues.

"The question is: does the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance know about our differences? If they know, how will they exploit them?"
