Chapter 194: A Group Like This Has a Thousand

With a command from Xisi, the entire substar district began full mobilization.

The towering Nest City, countless factories belched thick smoke into the sky.

At the massive Nest City's outer gate, infantry formations arrived one after another, as if they would never cease.

Thanks to the fact that even at 30K the Nest City environment is not particularly good, Xisi tapped the whole substar district's reserves to expand the army.

There was absolutely no problem with personnel.

Xisi not only recruited a thousand new soldier groups within just half a month.

At the same time, the six Nest City worlds began full operation, mass‑producing vehicles, rifles, and artillery continuously.

To fully arm Xisi's massive new soldiers.

Among the new soldiers, besides locally converting those PDF veterans into officers, many Word Keepers roamed among them, preparing mentally for the upcoming great war.

While Xisi was expanding his forces at full speed, at the far end of the distant galaxy, an Empire Fleet far larger than any fleet of the 40K era was rushing madly toward Xisi's location.

At this moment, a massive fleet, like stars surrounding a moon, encircled a Radiant Queen Class battleship.

And this colossal ship named "Law of Faith" was also the Original Body of the Word Keepers, Luo Jia's flagship.

The Bridge of the Law of Faith at this moment.

Its body, far taller than an Astarte, wore iron‑colored heavy armor covered with scriptures.

The heavy armor lacked a helmet, exposing a bald forehead, upon which scriptures were etched.

At this time, Luo Jia's appearance had not changed much; he still retained a human form.

It was precisely because of his human shape that he could display many emotions.

For example, the baffling confusion he felt at this moment.

"No reply again?"

Luo Jia sat on his flagship's Throne, watching the second battalion commander of the Word Keepers rush up to report, the shining scriptures on his forehead compressed by his furrowed brows.

The second commander knelt respectfully, repeating the report once more:

"Yes, even with a battalion champion leading this time, we still have not received any information about the target."

Luo Jia couldn't help but lean back, his eyes full of bewilderment constantly darting.

After more than half a day, he finally couldn't hold back and spoke:

"This… is too bizarre, isn't it?"

The surrounding Word Keepers, seeing their Father of Genes utter such words, looked rather surprised.

But then, recalling recent events, they also felt it was somewhat strange.

After all, the Word Keepers sent from the front and rear factions numbered no less than eighty, if not a hundred.

Yet among so many Word Keepers, the overwhelming majority were Luo Jia's die‑hards; once sent to wherever Xisi was, they vanished without a trace, giving no response at all.

Now even a single battalion champion received no reply, leaving the Word Keepers, who had never faced such a situation, all frozen in place.

Because unless these Word Keepers themselves voluntarily cut off contact, they could not imagine any other explanation.

Yet faced with this sole explanation, the Word Keepers grew even more astonished and doubtful.

After all…

Why?

Why must these Word Keepers, whether Luo Jia's die‑hards or battalion champions, voluntarily sever their own connections?

Only Luo Jia thought for a while, then could no longer restrain himself and frowned, speaking:

"It can't possibly…"

"These Word Keepers all betrayed?"

Luo Jia frowned and whispered, while the surrounding Word Keepers froze in expression, then glanced at the Chaos Eight-Point Star visible everywhere on their Bridge, and considered their recent actions.

They felt these Word Keepers shouldn't be called traitors!

"Besides Xisi, are there any other recent unsettling reports?"

Luo Jia couldn't figure it out, after holding back for a while he finally decided to approach from another angle.

Although Aierbas delivered a report, he truly had no chance to elaborate, so Luo Jia was especially vague about this suddenly emerging Xisi.

The several senior Word Keepers' battalion commanders looked at each other bewildered, then the seventh commander hesitantly spoke.

"Recently there was a report from a target star district stating that we Word Keepers are conducting large‑scale mobilization and expansion in a substar district beneath it."

"The star district government wants us to verify."

Word Keepers? Expansion?

Luo Jia's eyes lit up; he knew the Word Keepers weren't expanding. Since it wasn't Luo Jia but still bearing the Word Keeper banner, it could only be Xisi.

But then Luo Jia himself was equally puzzled, even wondering why his subordinates hadn't disclosed such crucial information.

Glancing at the powerful fleet outside the porthole and at his tens of thousands of Astarte, Luo Jia hesitated whether this expansion was aimed at him!

After all, at this critical juncture, even if the expansion involves countless mortals, they would merely be slaughtered unilaterally by him.

If you suggest pulling reinforcements from elsewhere, Luo Jia might think more about it.

But you expanded for six months—what do you intend? What can you do? What dare you?

Luo Jia still couldn't understand, only a brief excitement followed by silence, then a sour expression appeared on his face:

"Just mortals, how strong can they be?"

After speaking, Luo Jia finally ceased his meaningless pondering, looked directly at the Gene Offspring beneath his feet, and said:

"No need to send more people; whatever awaits us on the other side…"

"…will reveal its true form before my mighty legion!"

Six months later, the Nest City capital of the substar district.

The Law of Faith quietly docked with the Word Keepers' main fleet.

There was no Xisi fleet on the orbit; the whole world was silent, as if no hostile forces existed.

Luojia stood on the Bridge, repeatedly scrutinizing the world beneath, but after a long look saw nothing out of place.

"Father, should we bomb directly?"

When the company commander asked, Luojia looked at the ground and slowly shook his head.

"The enemy knows our plan; I must capture them alive for interrogation."

"And also..."

"I also want to know what happened to the offspring I sent earlier."

Luojia finished speaking without looking up, and directly gave a slight wave to the people beside him:

"Let our people descend!"

Luojia's command was quickly carried out; countless airdrop pods fell toward the ground, accompanied by transport aircraft densely swarming like a river of fireflies.

And the ground showed no sign of any retaliatory force; the whole world seemed as if it were waiting for their arrival.

This scene suddenly gave Luojia a bad premonition deep in his heart.

Soon, on the surface, the Huaiyaner seized large tracts of land and reorganized into units, beginning to scour the entire planet according to Luojia's orders.

Without waiting for the Huaiyaner to search actively, confirming that the Huaiyaner's main forces had all been deployed to the surface, at the top of a Nest City, Xisi silently watched everything beneath his feet and also waved his hand.

The Chaodu Dameng opened, and countless members of the Mortal Legion arranged themselves on the ground with exaggerated precision.

At the same time, while Luojia was busy inspecting these mortals, on the other side of the orbit, a warship far larger and more extravagant than the Faith's Law led a far smaller fleet of Huaiyaner warships, leaping between the Huaiyaner warships with extreme precision.

Then, the Huaiyaner did not fire; everyone, including Luojia, stared as Aolake suddenly stood upright, and everyone behind him broke out in cold sweat!

"Dream Illusion Vessel?"

"Fake... fake..."

He forced a dry swallow to stop himself, then Luojia raised his voice!

"The Emperor has arrived?!!!"
