Seeing the hopeful and expectant look in Darius's eyes, Anne quickly waved her hand to tell him to give up those unwanted thoughts, and then continued to say cheerfully:

"But..."

()

"Perhaps there is another way to save the Huagai Star and its tens of billions of people without defeating the Emperor and the Great Expedition Fleet, and buy you time to develop?"

(゜▽^*)

Then, under Darius' slightly horrified gaze, Anne thought of something and said mysteriously with a sly smile.

"What?"

"Safeguard Canopy and its population of tens of billions without defeating the Emperor and the Great Expedition Fleet?"

"Can we still buy time for development?"

"That's impossible!"

After being surprised and thinking for a while, Darius finally shook his head in denial and said that such a thing seemed unlikely.

"The Führer."

"We have no chance."

Yes, when Darius thought about it, even without the emperor and the main force of the Great Expedition Fleet that was about to arrive, even if there was only Horus' fleet, without defeating the enemy, they wanted to keep the Huagai Star and that.

Even a population of tens of billions is absolutely impossible!

Otherwise, they would not have proposed before that they would use ground war to hold Horus back, then concentrate their resources to develop the fleet, and finally defeat the opponent in one fell swoop to save the Huagai Star, or even the entire Taiwei Galaxy, and then compete with the Terra Empire.

Delayed the plan.

Of course, all plans are useless now. Unlike Horus, the opponent's emperor will not give them a chance at all. When the opponent directly crushes them with all their strength, they will have no choice but to escape.

"There's a chance!"

(-)

"However, I need to confirm one thing first..."

(*╰╯`)

After speaking, Annie didn't explain, and then she simply stopped lying down and jumped up from the sofa.

"Come on, Tibbers!"

-

==()

Then she grabbed the little bear that she had thrown aside, and ran out cheering without explaining the specific situation to Darius.

"..."

Dressed simply, Darius quickly reached out his hand to ask again, but in the end he slowly put it down and meditated alone in the empty cabin hall.

Actually, he didn't doubt the ability of his head of state, nor did he doubt whether the other party could do it, but...he thought about it again and again, and he really couldn't think of a way to do it without defeating the emperor and the Great Expedition Fleet.

A way to protect Huagai Star and its tens of billions of people.

Even if they directly declare unconditional surrender now, the final result will probably be useless in his opinion.

…

At the same time, when a certain troubled little girl began to confirm and do something to reverse the upcoming decline, the subspace, the infinite dimension constructed of pure magic and spiritual energy, the residence of the Chaos Gods,

In the weird and dark parallel dimension of the material universe, there are no physical laws, no concepts of time and space, everything is composed of the emotions and thinking energy of intelligent creatures in the real world. In the violent chaotic energy field, a large group of terrifying fleets

It is moving forward with the Geller force field turned on.

And since there is no concept of time, space or even quantity in subspace, even the subspace demons who are spying on it and have no good intentions do not know how big and how many there are in this fleet.

But no matter what, it does not prevent this fleet from moving firmly towards their goal in the subspace.

Among them, the 'Emperor's Dream', as a command aircraft carrier and one of the three flagships of the Emperor during the Great Crusade, was also in this fleet at this time.

"..."

At this time, at the gorgeous golden bridge of the Emperor's Dream, the Emperor, that enigmatic man, was silently standing in front of the porthole of the bridge, looking at the bizarre scenes outside, and at the turbulent waves.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about with the surging chaotic energy and the deep subspace with lightning and unknown wailing.

He is not worried about the safety of the fleet's navigation in the subspace, because he is here himself, he is the emperor of mankind, and there are enough navigators in his fleet and the lighthouse on Terra as a guide.

In addition, the subspace storm has gradually subsided, so there is no need for him to worry.

He is thinking about other things now, such as the Great Expedition or the Great Expedition...

"..."

If you think about it carefully, it has been many years since the Great Crusade began. Although as an immortal, time is as meaningless to him as it is to subspace, but sometimes he is still used to using time to calculate and evaluate certain things.

Now, as the Great Crusade continues, and as the three fleets are still expanding their territories to regain those lost colonial worlds, the size of the human Empire of Terra has greatly exceeded the imagination of any mortal.

If those thousands of Home Office writers on Terra wanted to accurately calculate the size of the empire, then, without a doubt, that project would be doomed to failure before it even started!

Because the territory of the empire is constantly changing, so far, even the emperor himself does not know how many worlds have been recovered, let alone how many worlds are waiting for them to recover.

Anyway, one world after another was discovered by them, and one world after another was recovered or destroyed by them. They have seen various miracles, seen countless atrocities, met upright saviors, and eliminated

There are countless madmen, criminals and various dictatorial kings, but no matter what, their pace will not stop, and the Great Crusade will not end in just a few decades.

"..."

Because, as an immortal, the Emperor has seen countless things, even the history of mankind!

That’s right, it’s the history of mankind!

In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he still felt it was vivid in his mind...

He still remembered that mankind's journey to conquer the starry sky above began 39,000 years ago. In the 969th year of the second millennium of the human era, mankind first landed on the moon...

In the first hundred years of the third millennium, humans began to transform Mars... In the second hundred years of the third millennium, humans officially began to colonize planets beyond the earth... In the fourth millennium, humans discovered subspace...

…It wasn’t until the sixteenth millennium that humans truly left the solar system and flew into the deeper universe.

At that time, human spaceships could only crawl through the vast void at sub-light speeds. It would take ten generations to sail from one colony to another. Each colony had to leave the earth behind and develop independently.

.

It was called the Dark Age of Technology. It was not until the twenty-first millennium that humans finally invented subspace navigation technology.

In the years that followed, humanity conquered space in meteoric strides, psykers appeared, subhumans appeared, aliens were discovered, and STC standardized production template technology was invented and then lost.

Eventually, with the continuous civil war, especially in the twenty-sixth millennium, a war broke out between humans and robots. Although all the robots were eventually wiped out, the huge human civilization system also began to collapse and collapse.

Out of control.

After that, the energy fluctuations in subspace became more and more violent. Finally, subspace storms that hindered interstellar navigation appeared on a large scale throughout the galaxy. Routes and communications between colonies were interrupted. The era of strife began. Humanity

Alone against the environment and alien races, struggling on the edge of survival.

even……

Even Terra fell into various civil wars due to resource and population crises, and billions of humans on Earth died in wars and famine.

Finally, in the 30th human millennium, the reclusive Emperor finally witnessed the burning of the once glorious Terra in the Age of Strife, leaving only a desert world filled with technological barbarians.

Decided to stand up and reunify human civilization.

At that time, his starting point was Terra!

He created his Imperial Guard as his personal bodyguards, and started the journey to unify Terra with the Thunder Warriors as the main force.

The Unification War was tragic and smooth. At the expense of the Thunder Warrior's sacrifice, he unified Terra and established a new human empire in just a few decades of war.

But that's not enough, because just one Terra is not the end, on the contrary, it is just the starting point.

Then, in view of the mental instability of the Thunder Warriors at that time, in order to realize the great dream of restoring human civilization, he needed more stable and stronger warriors!

Thus, the Space Marines and the twenty Primarchs' Project Astartes was born.

after……

During the Great Crusade, the fire of human revival was ignited by him, and it burned towards the entire galaxy with an unstoppable trend!

Although some accidents occurred at the beginning, such as his primarchs being kidnapped and lost by the evil gods of the subspace, he found them one after another during the Great Crusade, allowing their brothers to follow him again.

He, the father, united and fought in all corners of the galaxy.

Originally, he was very optimistic about Horus!

Because Horus was the first Primarch he found. He was highly respected by the Great Expeditionary Force and had outstanding abilities. He was also prepared to appoint Horus to lead the Great Expedition in his place when the Great Expedition reached a certain stage.

The army gave the opponent the title of 'Warmaster', and then allowed him to withdraw from the tedious military command on the front line and return to Terra to carry out another of his more important and secret plans.

But no idea...

I don’t know why, but Horus has been acting very, very strange recently!

It is reported that Horus seemed to have deliberately dispersed the fleets of other legions in the Second Fleet of the Great Expedition, and then only led the fleet of the sixteenth legion to stay in the Taiwei system, and did not listen to his warnings for a long time.

Stay, and even send ground troops to land on the Canopy Star that was deeply eroded by Chaos, and compete for something with the human defenders of the Canopy Star above?
To be continued...
