Chapter 92: In Your Name, Standing Tall in the Galaxy

~7 min read 1,329 words

In orbit.

A large number of Empire transport ships, and even many Spirit Race space shuttles, continuously shuttle between orbit and the surface.

At this moment on Xisi's Moon-class deck, a multitude of ordinary human soldiers and crew, under the command of thousands of Black Watch Commanders who have endured the "Two Hundred Revelations" war, are moving supplies.

Numerous cargo carts continuously race back and forth across the deck, until a sudden sharp "pop" sounded from ahead.

Amid the repeatedly reverent shouts of "Lord", Xisi, with Fanluosi and Ana, came over.

"Continue."

Xisi raised his hand in brief response, signaling the crowd to continue loading supplies.

While looking at the massive cargo on the carts—various crops, meat, vegetables, fine wine, even fruit—Xisi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

"Even the Alien Forms will enjoy it."

Seeing the premium supplies stockpiled by the Spirit Race Pirates, Xisi spoke without hesitation.

Beside him, Fanluosi and Sha Hansen pretended not to hear.

After all, the deeper implication of that remark was that the Empire's citizens were living so poorly they couldn't even be a "roadside lane".

"Why is there no Corpse Starch?"

"These Alien Forms haven't decayed in Subspace, so they can be made into starch."

"The souls gave… uh…"

"Throne! Given to the Throne!"

Fanluosi, fearing Xisi might utter something heretical, quickly filled in for him.

Xisi gave Fanluosi an approving glance, then continued:

"Right! The souls go to the Throne, the bodies should go to the Empire."

"These Alien Forms, we must make full use of them."

Fanluosi, with cold sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, then forced a dry laugh to mask his awkwardness.

Then, looking at the destination on the deck, he quickly steered the conversation elsewhere:

"That's all, Lord. We've rescued a total of one hundred thousand humans from the surface who were plundered by Alien Forms."

Xisi, hearing this, looked over; in a corner of the deck, a dense crowd of young, vigorous bodies crouched on the ground.

Looking at this group of humans, whose origins of plunder were unknown, Xisi didn't step forward; he merely surveyed them from his height for a moment, then withdrew his gaze:

"Our manpower is insufficient; we must select suitable humans from among them to recruit as crew and soldiers."

"The rest of the population…"

Xisi, speaking, turned his gaze to Sha Hansen on the other side, who insisted on staying by his side with Fanluosi.

"Along this route we've rescued many humans from the Alien Forms; can these people be settled back into the Empire's world?"

Seeing Xisi finally assign him a task, Sha Hansen nodded almost without thought.

"No problem!"

Seeing Sha Hansen's decisiveness, Xisi felt a bit puzzled; after all, he was, at present, considered a Rebel Forces member, and the humans he rescued could return so easily?

Noticing Xisi's doubt, Sha Hansen quickly explained:

"The Empire is too vast."

"And you have a misunderstanding with the Empire, but I don't…"

Xisi lifted his eyelid, then grew lazy to speak; after all, a Judge capable of building an unbreakable defense line can find any place to settle civilians with hardly any effort.

Moreover, to prove his ability wasn't inferior to Fanluosi's, Sha Hansen thoughtfully offered Xisi a custom option:

"Lord, do you have a specific world in mind? As long as it's not Terra, we can send these people anywhere."

Xisi, who had been about to leave, paused upon hearing that.

At the same time, a name instantly surfaced in his mind.

Xisi halted; behind him, Fanluosi and Sha Hansen dared not speak.

Until Xisi uttered that place from his mouth, Fanluosi and Sha Hansen couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Alert Star."

"Send everyone I've rescued to Alert Star."

The war on Alert Star had ended long ago; even though the Empire's communications were unusually slow, Sha Hansen and Fanluosi knew that Alert Star's original population of over 150 billion had been nearly wiped out, the remainder being Star Realm Army forces that had arrived as external support.

Now Alert Star was in a post-war barren state, urgently needing population replenishment.

Even the Oumia refugees who had recently fled with Xisi were sent to Alert Star by Xisi using the Falomoer Family's merchant fleet.

Now, adding the continuously rescued humans along the way, and considering that Xisi himself originated from Alert Star, the two barely needed a moment of thought to realize that once the Divine Emperor bypasses the Four Gods, finds Kiriman, and gives him a few big slaps, Alert Star would inevitably become Xisi's future Conscription World.

In the future, endless Black Watch will arise from the descendants of the humans Xisi rescued, invoking Xisi's and the Empire's name as they march from Alert Star to battlefields across the galaxy.

And worlds such as Krig, the Eldest Son Corps, and others known for producing legions.

Alert Star will not only be named for the Black Watch, but also become the Empire's most important fortress world after Kadia.

It will not only become the homeworld of the Black Watch, but also the sole stronghold guarding the Empire's sacred frontier and its dark side.

Moreover, Alert Star can accommodate a massive surface capable of holding hundreds of billions, even up to two hundred billion, and will begin reconstruction from the descendants of Xisi's rescues.

And after Kiriman rushes back to Terra and delivers the Divine Emperor's slap to the Terra High Lord Council, this place will receive the Empire's limitless reconstruction, upgrades, and expansion!

Even the National Church and the Mechanical Church will, in Xisi's name, elevate Alert Star into a rare dual-faith holy site.

By then, Alert Star will be not only Xisi's Conscription World, but also a unique amalgam for the Empire and the entire galaxy—a motherworld that combines fortress world, dual holy world, Forge World, Conscription World, and node world.

Even as Fanluosi followed this line of thought, he couldn't help but glance at Sha Hansen, because this Alert Star, about to rise again from the humans Xisi rescued, will become the most important planet after Terra for the Empire!

Not even because the Divine Emperor sits on Terra and dares not rise from the Golden Throne; regardless, Alert Star's status could even be on par with Terra.

And the master of this crucial planet will be the embodiment chosen by the Divine Emperor, the Original Body of the Star Realm Army, and the bridge of friendship between humans and Green Skin:

Lord Xisi!

Well...... well, I...... I'll go take care of it now.

Sha Hansen, who thought it was just an ordinary task, when he thought of this, already began to tremble uncontrollably in his speech.

After all, to be a founder of such a world, and moreover a founder personally instructed by Xisi, Sha Hansen already feels he's made it big in this life.

Not to mention other things, at least someday in the future, when Xisi's statue stands towering like a giant in the dual-holy world of the National Church and the Mechanical Church, at Xisi's feet there will inevitably be a follower statue named 'Sha Hansen'!

And in the future, every pilgrim who rushes to Alert Star to worship, every thread of faith they contribute will also pass through Xisi and bless them.

For a universe where an afterlife truly exists, and even the afterlife is especially fucked up, this is even luckier than receiving the Divine Emperor's Blessing.

After all, accepting the Divine Emperor's Blessing also means you, damn it, have to work even after death.

Moreover, you don't have to worry about death, nor worry about rest—it's endless, never-ending work!

Sha Hansen's body beneath the Judgment Court's Power Armor trembled slightly, and subconsciously he moved to leave but then suddenly stopped.

Afterwards, under Fanluosi's envious, blood-dripping gaze, Sha Hansen actually turned with great ceremonial reverence, bowing respectfully before Xisi:

"My lord, Alert Star will stand in your name."

"Once again stand tall in the galaxy!"
