"Do they think we are soft persimmons who can be manipulated at will? Let me lead a small team and give them some color!"

Seeing that escaping to the empire's territory for help was not an option, the adjutant who had just spoken was annoyed. He waved his hand and planned to fight the pursuers with all his might!

Moreover, in his opinion, their equipment is different now. As they become more and more proficient in those CMC armors and spike rifles, they may not be unable to compete with those Astartes Space Marines.

"Karl, don't be impulsive."

"Acting rashly can easily drag us all into an abyss of eternal destruction..."

But this time, before the female officer could refute, a middle-aged leader within the resistance army who seemed to be somewhat mature and prudent began to persuade him with a wry smile:

"Right now, our top priority is to ensure our survival and find a stable place to stay amidst this chaos."

"Only by establishing a firm foothold can we find a glimmer of hope in the upcoming storm of the empire, move forward steadily, and gradually grow stronger."

"And if we blindly commit ourselves to unnecessary sacrifices, not only will it not be beneficial to the overall situation, but it will make our many years of hard work go to waste."

"Furthermore, we must have a clear understanding of those enemy warships that are in hot pursuit."

"Their numbers and strength are far beyond what we can match."

"Whether it is a long-range artillery exchange or a close-quarters hand-to-hand battle, we should not rashly think that we can win easily."

"Everyone should also know that each battleship may carry hundreds or thousands of Astartes warriors. Their frontal combat effectiveness will definitely far exceed ours. If we act rashly, we may not even be able to protect ourselves.

problem, let alone counterattack."

Actually, they have already discussed this issue before. Otherwise, they would have left the subspace long ago and fought with the pursuers. How would they have a meeting now to discuss where to escape?

"That's right!"

"Karl, there's no need to mention the proposal to start a war with the opponent directly!"

"That's not what you should be thinking about now!"

At this time, Ali, as the leader, also nodded slightly, acknowledging the middle-aged officer's words, and asked the burly, bushy-bearded rebel adjutant not to dwell on the time-wasting issue.

"But the question is: Where else can we escape?"

"The Hatchling frigate is not invincible, and our supplies and energy cannot be consumed endlessly." "Exactly!"

"If we keep running like this, when will it end?"

"Don't run out of supplies and energy before you get rid of the enemy!"

"We can't stay in the warp forever!"

"Our ship is not the Vengeful Spirit. This frigate is still too small, with a total number of less than 10,000 people. Although it is indeed very fast, it cannot be like the Vengeful Spirit that can last for tens or hundreds of years.

Time to sail without supplies!”

"But if you go out, you will be dead!"

"The imperial troops behind us will not let us go. Do you think they will let us go find a place to resupply?"

"Besides, once they leave the subspace, they can bombard us from a distance!"

"cough--"

"Don't we have any other options?"

In this way, after the topic was brought up, the officers of the resistance army began to discuss each other word by word.

But despite the discussion, they still ran around like headless flies, lacking a clear direction or substantive solution. They just argued and quarreled in vain.

"..."

Seeing this, Ali, who was sitting in the captain's seat, covered her head with a headache and took a deep breath. She turned her head and tried to focus on the magical subspace scenery outside the porthole window instead of listening to those guys.

That kind of meaningless quarrel.

But she did not reprimand them. After all, now is not the time to complain. What they really need is a solution to the problem, not endless complaints.

"Colleagues!"

"perhaps."

"Can we go to the Taiwei Galaxy to see it?"

"The leader said that it was once a stronghold of the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector. They led the people of Huagai to defeat the demons, and even defeated Horus?"

"Although they later retreated because they were outnumbered, and the entire planet disappeared. Now the specific situation of the Taiwei Galaxy is not clear, but that is at least a hope, right?"

Finally, seeing that there was really no good solution, a resistance officer suddenly spoke up and suggested.

And his proposal was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The officers who had just been arguing endlessly with children began to turn their heads and look at him.

"..."

Similarly, Ali also looked at the officer who made the suggestion with some surprise.

Although she had thought about and talked about going to the Taiwei Galaxy before, she later learned more about the past from Loken, and learned that the entire planet had disappeared, and even the Horus stationed there

After not finding anything at an observation station there for decades, she gradually gave up.

But now, seeing someone mention it again, her heart not only started to get excited.

Because after frowning and thinking for a while, she also felt that the Taiwei Galaxy was indeed a place worth considering. If they could find clues and contact the Huagai Star, then all the problems they faced would not be a problem.

However, they know nothing about the specific situation there now, and they don't know the strength of the Imperial Observation Station there. If they are held back by the opponent and attacked from both sides, they will probably face great danger.

?

"It's indeed possible to consider it, but I think it might be useless to go there?"

"yes!"

"Didn't the intelligence say that Huagai Star is gone long ago? The Empire has been monitoring it for decades, and hasn't found anything?"

"But it's better than waiting to die in subspace, right?"

"We should at least take a look. Maybe we can find new allies or resources?"

"But the risks are just as great."

"If the imperial army left behind in the Taiwei galaxy was strong, might we have fallen into a trap in the past?"

"after all……"

"We currently know nothing about the situation of the Taiwei galaxy. This is a gamble, and the bet is the lives of all of us here."

"But where else can we escape?"

"The Baby Bird has an upper limit, and our supplies are not unlimited. The Taiwei Galaxy is at least a hope, isn't it?"

"More!"

"These CMC equipment and spike rifles of ours came from the Canopy Star. You have also seen how powerful they are. They are the only force that can effectively fight against the Empire and Horus. The leader has a relationship with their head of state.

Once we get in touch, we’ll be prosperous!”

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"The leader only went to Huagai Star for friendship and so on. After so many years, who knows what the situation is now?"

"That's right..."

"Judging from the current clues, it seems that Huagai Star was not defeated by the empire, it just disappeared."

"But how it disappeared and where it went is not clear in the empire's information. I also think we should go and take a look. Maybe there are some clues?"

"I also agree to go and have a look!"

"However, when it comes to the risk, it may not be as big as we thought?"

"How to say?"

"Everyone, please don't forget that those guarding the Taiwei Galaxy are the members of the original 16th Legion, the Luna Wolves. They have been there for decades, and I'm afraid they have nothing to do with the current Warmaster Horus.

Right?"

"In addition, we still have fifteen prisoners of the 16th Legion. Maybe we can make some fuss from now on?"

"I agree!"

"Those people are not necessarily from the Chaos faction, and may not have been corrupted. In that case, we will have more room for maneuver. For example, we can use the Astartes in our ship to contact the observation station to ask for detailed information.

Intelligence, including the current defense strength of the Taiwei galaxy, resource status, and the movements of the Imperial Army, etc."

"Even..."

"Take down their observation post?"

"After all, it's just an observation station. It won't be very big. There will only be one or two lagging ships at most, or maybe even none at all?"

"besides!"

"The enemy behind us is still a little far away from us. Maybe we can really make a time difference?"

"like……"

"feasible?"

"..."
