Four days later, Kal II Space Station had long shed the smell of warfire, replaced by an orderly scene of busyness.

The orbital spaceport was brightly lit, with dozens of massive Imperial Transport Ships docking at the berths one after another.

Huge mechanical cranes roared, hoisting crate after crate of heavy ammunition, orichalcum armor plates, and energy batteries from the transport ships' cargo holds, transferring them to the space station's underground armory.

Servitors in gray uniforms stood in neat rows, moving supplies, repeating their movements numbly.

In a relatively intact hall inside Kal II, Mechanical Priests chanted the prayers of the Omnissiah, repairing damaged weapons one by one as good as new.

On the bridge of the James Tong, Dominic stood before the huge holographic star map, watching the green light dots connected in a line above it.

Those light dots represented supply fleets en route, an elegant blue route extending from Brevis Starport.

Passing through the asteroid belt, finally connecting to Kal II Space Station.

This route had been optimized three times, avoiding all Warp Turbulence and Gravity Anomaly Points, taking only two and a half hours for the entire journey.

"Report, Adult, the Seventh Supply Fleet has successfully passed through Xiao Xing Tai Dai No. 3 and is expected to arrive at Kal II in six hours." The communication soldier's voice sounded respectfully.

Dominic nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Very good. Notify the Logistics Department to prepare for reception. All ammunition must be distributed to each warship within twelve hours, with maintenance parts prioritized for the James Tong."

"Yes, Adult!"

The communication soldier turned and left, and the bridge returned to silence once more.

Dominic extended his only remaining right hand, tracing the blue supply route on the holographic star map with a sweeping motion.

His fingertip traced the complete path, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

He had participated in countless wars, from concluding the Third Amagidon Campaign to dealing with Chaos Demons bursting out of the Eye of Terror.

He had seen far larger scenes than this, but never once had any made him feel as satisfied as this time.

This was his first time, as Highest Commander, independently commanding a full-scale war across star systems.

No longer anyone's deputy, no longer a pawn executing superior commands.

All tactical planning, troop deployment, and decisions were basically made by him alone.

This feeling of standing on his own made his blood boil all over.

Of course, he had not been clouded by victory.

He knew very well in his heart that without Keli Feng, this war would probably have already failed.

If not for Lin En setting an ambush at Kal II and annihilating three million landing Green Skins.

And seeing through Lianggenna's truth of not dying at a glance, stopping his hasty pursuit.

He would probably now be bringing back the remnants of his defeated army, slinking back to Brevis in disgrace.

Dominic's gaze unconsciously turned toward the distant orbital spaceport.

He could not see clearly what was there, but he knew that somewhere in an unknown corner of the spaceport, two people should be sitting at this moment.

One was a man in a black trench coat, the other a girl with silver-white long hair.

The two either stood side by side there, facing away from the direction of the bridge, or gazed at the distant pitch-black Star Sea.

They stood very close, the girl's head slightly leaning on Lin En's shoulder, their posture intimate beyond measure.

Thinking of this, Dominic's eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

That white-haired girl.

Since Lin En came to Kal II, this girl had always been by his side, inseparable.

She called herself Lin En's personal assistant, named Ai Lei.

But Dominic always felt this girl was not simple.

Her gaze was too cold, too deep, not like that of an ordinary human girl.

Moreover, her movements were abnormally agile; last time, a crazed Green Skin prisoner broke free from his restraints and rushed toward Lin En.

Before the bodyguards could react, this girl casually twisted his neck.

What concerned Dominic even more was the relationship between Lin En and this girl.

The two were almost inseparable, eating together, attending meetings together, even sleeping in the same room at night.

Anyone with eyes could see that their relationship was far from an ordinary superior-subordinate one.

Dominic pulled up the data terminal on his wrist and retrieved the investigation file on Lin En.

The file clearly stated:

Keli Feng, Brevis Planet Governor, wife Isud·Ke La, eldest daughter of a certain lord of the old noble Kola Family of Calixia.

Lin En precisely relied on his marriage with Isud to gain the support of the Isud Family and successfully become Brevis Governor.

According to the investigators' report, Lin En and Isud's marital relationship was very harmonious.

Isud was gentle and virtuous, managing the Governor's Mansion's internal affairs in perfect order, fully supporting Lin En's work.

Lin En also respected Isud very much, with never any negative news emerging.

But now it seemed these reports were clearly inaccurate.

Dominic lightly shook his head and turned off the data terminal.

He did not exactly reject this kind of behavior.

After all, in the Empire's Noble Circle, such things were too common.

Which Noble doesn't have a few mistresses, which Noble Lady doesn't have a few lovers?

Everyone understands tacitly; as long as it's not brought into the open, no one will pursue it.

But on the Empire's surface, monogamy is still strictly enforced.

Sister-formed Clan convents strictly monitor the Nobles' marital status.

In the Empire's view, marriage is not merely the union of two people, but a political alliance between two Clans.

Stable marital relations can effectively prevent the dispersion of power and Internal Strife, and better Resist Chaos Corruption.

After all, chaotic private lives are often the Defensive Line most easily Broken through by the Chaos Great Enemy.

However, Dominic also doesn't intend to interfere in Lin En's family affairs.

First, Lin En is currently his most important ally, and the key to whether this war can achieve Victory.

He doesn't want private matters like this to Influence the Tyranid Cooperation Relationship between the two.

Second, according to investigation, Lin En and Isud's relationship hasn't broken down; it can even be said to be quite affectionate.

Since the parties involved don't mind, why should he, an outsider, meddle?

"As long as he can help me win this war, eliminate the Green Skin, what does this trifle matter?"

Dominic murmured in a low voice, stopped his thoughts, and looked again at the Holographic Star Map.

An expectant Smile appeared on his face once more.

"In Three Days, the last batch of supplies will be in place; then it will be time for us to attack Dolido."

"Lianggenna, this time I will personally cut off your head, to avenge Ralph and all the Sacrificed soldiers!"

……

At the same time, in a remote Corner of the Orbital Spaceport.

Just as Dominic had thought.

Lin En and "Ai Lei" sat side by side on an abandoned Container, gazing at the brilliant Star Sea in the distance.

He still doesn't know his image in Dominic's mind has already undergone some subtle changes.

But if Lin En knew Dominic's thoughts, he would definitely laugh.

After all, the original owner of the name Keli Feng was previously a playboy, wasn't he.
