Fazani led the Governor and his entourage to a reception lounge on the upper deck, where the guests had not been seated for a long time, and Governor Edney, who had not yet been seated with a fragrant Chilian wheat tea, had barely had time to swallow the sweet native produce of his homeland, when he was almost out of breath by a straightforward question, and began to cough profusely.

"It was the Third Fleet that first opened fire on the Walken landing craft and destroyed the alien spacecraft, which led to a big retribution from the other side?" During the recent visit of the colonial representatives, Fazzani accidentally received this seemingly unreliable news from the mouth of one of the representatives. Xiao and several trusted old subordinates of the Seventh Special Brigade of the Volunteers went to the residential ship to investigate.

“…… This one...... Your Excellency, General, there are indeed such rumors...... I mean, the atmosphere of panic and despair makes everything crazy, this unsubstantiated speculation...... Actually, it doesn't say anything...... "Paul. Edney choked on the barley tea and blushed, while Fazani waited quietly for him to recover and finish.

"Several different witnesses have described this to my people, and what they say is almost the same." Fazani opened the electronic record board in his hand and read: "At about 16 o'clock on February 16 in the standard calendar, three Walken landing craft were waiting to enter the planetary atmosphere in the planetary orbit, and were shelled by several large ships of the Third Fleet, two of which were immediately destroyed, and one escaped with injuries......

As he read this, he looked up at Governor Edney, and the old man was visibly nervous, but there was no look of surprise on his face.

It seems that he knows it all......

Fazani bowed his head and continued: "At about 8:40 on the 17th, the Third Fleet fired first again, and then the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the Silver Alliance fleet fled with the loss of several ships, and the Vulken fleet did not pursue ......"

"General, this is a folk rumor, but it is not the official version of our Governor's Palace." Governor Edney shook his head, but his eyes couldn't help but look at one of his retinue.

"What's your last name?" Fazani turned to the attendant almost immediately.

"Me? Watner, the General, William. Watner. The military attache, dressed in the colonial uniform of the Silver League Security Committee, hurriedly stood up and replied.

"You're the commissioner for security in charge of the security of the colony, aren't you? Wattana ...... Mr. Waterner. Fazani stumbled as he corrected his pronunciation.

"Yes, General."

"First Fleet?" Fazani asked tentatively, he knew very well that Shen Yuehe and Belen were in the habit of placing veterans of the First Fleet in every corner of the Silver Alliance's colonies.

"Yes, General." Watner said. "Former First Fleet 317 Special Operations Brigade with the rank of major, joined the Security Committee after demobilization at the end of 38 years of the Silver Alliance." The commissioner is tall and straight, maintaining a standard military demeanor.

"And what you say, is the description of the colonists consistent with the information you've gathered?" Fazani asked.

"That's nonsense, Your Excellency, celestial enthusiasts don't have the ability or equipment to tell right from wrong, they're just a bunch of unemployed colonizers." Watner commented with his chin raised.

"I never said they were celestial lovers...... They've reported it to you, right? Fazani stared at him.

“…… Yes, Your Excellency, you have received many such sightings in the past few months, but you must know that the colony is different from the civilization and virtuousness of the twin planets of the Martial Emperor Galaxy, in these nascent planets with harsh environments, irritability replaces patience, ruthlessness replaces kindness, and good conduct is gradually replaced by bad habits......"

"Gemini?" Fazani interrupted him. "That's what the colonies call Chilian and Providenton?" He couldn't help but laugh.

"It is precisely in this way that the contract colonization that has been eliminated by civilized society and those second generations cannot recognize the reality, they yearn for the comfortable life of the martial emperor, but they can't resist the temptation of high salaries, they call us Gemini, and deliberately divide the two worlds ......"

They...... We...... Who is the deliberate division of the two worlds? Fazani began to frown.

"I just want to know the truth of the attack, Mr. Watner, how do you judge the truth of this information?"

"That's what I'm describing to you, the fact that no one knows what's going on, they're just maliciously making up stories that don't exist. Your Excellency, these idle stargazers only exaggerate in their attempts to gain the attention of the media, expecting to be noticed and attention, and as colonists, their attitude to life without work determines their status in life......"

"Are you saying that no one knows the truth about what happened, not even the Doge's Palace?" Fazzani interrupted his taunt again.

"We have personnel and equipment only to prevent the increasing criminality in the colonies, and we do not have a detection and defense system for outer space, you know, Valkyria is a border system, and the planets of Telamon and the Kuibenhammouv star gate are permanently stationed in the Silver Alliance fleet, which is obviously the responsibility of the Military Council......"

"I see." Fazzani decided to put an end to this fruitless conversation.

On the way back to the Residence Ship with Governor Edney and his retinue in the shuttle, Fazani deliberately avoided Watner and the rest of the Doge's Palace, and pulled the dwarf Edney to his side.

"In your opinion, if the rumors of the Walkens sending small boats to land in advance are true, what is their purpose? Am I trying to establish some kind of connection with your jurisdiction? Trade or diplomatic? He asked quietly as he walked.

"Contact? No, the Walkens never actively communicate with humans...... Maybe it's going to be a little different for boat people's organizations, but it shouldn't be a secret to you. Governor Edney pointed to the ship and smiled.

"If the news is true, I'm just saying if it'......" The old man nervously chose his words.

"It's possible that they're here for the Ascendant ruins, I've heard similar rumors......"
