"You're confused, aren't you?"

"Of course you're confused."

"At this point, most people can't figure out the truth of the matter, after all, there are too many constraints in reality: whether it is the limitation of vision, or the fragmentation of important information, or even the protracted and boring tug-of-war that happened on the Sabis 4 star, it is all blurring our thinking, distracting our energy, and making us irritable and restless."

"Now, let's make it a little easier."

"Before you accept certain small steps that are necessary, as a reward for fighting as allies, you can of course know what has happened before this, and what will happen after this."

"Actually, to put it bluntly, what happened in the Sabis system is very simple."

"A bait, a show of weakness, a trap."

"It's as simple as that."

"Even, you will find that all the clues and details, and the necessary steps, you actually knew it early on, but in the endless procrastination and fighting of reality, they were forgotten, because they seemed so tiny, so insignificant."

"And now, let's tell them one by one."

The Relic Battleship Tears of Reason passed through countless malfunctioning Void War Engines, and it flew gracefully in the dead storm like a staggering steel swan.

This strange warship did not belong to any of the classes of the Human Imperial Navy, and even the most experienced captains and admirals would not be able to recognize such a ship that completely violated the purpose of the Human Empire's shipbuilding.

But that doesn't stop it from being powerful or deadly, and its name may never appear in the psalms of great feats, or in the archived documents, but it can't erase its power and edge on the battlefield: just like its owner, the First Legion, it is only born for the most brutal victories and the most utter destruction.

This steel behemoth almost recklessly traversed the battleship complex of Randan, swaggering in front of those more than ten kilometers long Randan's creations, this extreme provocation attracted the most crazy counterattack: almost every second, thousands of battleship guns aimed at this arrogant challenger, firing countless flames and cannonballs, as well as countless electromagnetic rays and energy beams mixed together, like a whole rainstorm poured into a pond, [Tears of Reason] 's energy shield ripples in a completely incalculable way at all times.

But until the Dark Angel's battleships swaggered through the defensive lines of the Randan battleships one after another, but until the most powerful Randan capital ships hit the barrels and smoked non-stop, the thin layer of Void Shield of the [Tears of Reason] was still intact, and under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of Randan soldiers, covering more than 500 Dark Angels in the cabin all the way, they crashed straight into the battle moon that was still out of order.

"Do you remember who discovered the anomalies and treasures of the Sabis system?"

"Yes, a mechanical bishop from the world of Xana's making, and his minions, they discovered the Mandeville Point in the Sabis system, which was huge enough to pass through the battle moon of the Radan, and after he returned to Xana, he was killed in battle, and his colleagues spent a lot of time fighting over his legacy, causing the Empire to learn much later that the Sabis system was buried with such a treasure......"

"That's what you know."

"But actually...... This is a lie, a false curtain that we have created to cover up the truth. ”

"[Lion] actually knew all this for a long time, since the moment that Shana's mechanical bishop returned to the casting world, he knew about it, but it is not too surprising that the stupid mechanical octopus refused to hand over more information, after all, Shana has just surrendered to the Empire, and there are a bunch of anti-bone boys everywhere."

"Since he is not willing to offer his loyalty, we can only let his loyalty run away from him."

"After his death, unsurprisingly, his fellow Mechonists began to rush to fight for his legacy and documents, and this big move also attracted the spies that Ran Dan had buried in the world of Xana's foundry."

"As for the so-called inheritance scramble, this is indeed the ugly gesture of those Mechanics, and we are just using this farce as a cover to make the spies controlled by the Randan Xenomorph believe the message we sent."

"Through the oath of those spies, as well as other small means, we have successfully let the Randan Xenomorph know that there is a Mandeville point in the Sabis system that is large enough to pass through the battle moon, and there is an ancient star gate that leads directly to Xana, and in Randan's opinion, we don't know all this, at least in the months that those mechanical sects are fighting for the inheritance, we [don't know]."

"So, of course, there will be so many maverick and bold guys among the commanders of Ran Dan's alien shapes, eager to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and do a big deal, and since it is such a big gamble, the capital they bring will naturally not be less."

"So you see, a real hunter never worries about whether the prey will appear, even if they are really hiding, using bait and fraud to make them show up is also the most basic basic skill of a hunter."

[Prepare for impact.] 】

A stern voice sounded in the ears of every occupant.

The behemoth figure of Randan's battle moon finally appeared in front of their eyes, it was a real metal planet, about two circles larger than Luna (the moon), and like other Randan battleships, it was full of giant spikes and flails that were clearly visible even in the void, like a cage in the void.

This profane weapon, unmatched by any Void Engine, was hidden within a network of defensive firepower consisting of giant star forts and automatic fire turrets, not to mention that it possessed anti-aircraft firepower comparable to that of an expeditionary fleet, and that there were hundreds of Randan [Overlords], tens of thousands of Randan warriors, and millions of flesh and blood monsters.

But none of this can stop the progress of their mission, or rather, no one in the galaxy can stop the Dark Angels.

More than 500 veterans of the First Legion who had traveled all the way from Terra sat quietly in their places, most of them armed with swords or guns that did not exist in the Imperial army, badges of honor and coats of arms on their breastplates and shoulder plates that were almost impossible to place, helmets mostly placed on one side, solemn faces without sadness, joy or even touch, only the constant sweat droplets were the only moving objects.

Some are looking straight ahead, some are keeping their eyes closed, and some are just rubbing their swords over and over again until every detail is visible.

And in this dark solemnity, the silver that belongs to the Second Legion is somewhat dazzling.

Their performance is also different.

As an ancient warrior, a Terra, Chiron behaved no different from the usual Dark Angel, while Salieri and Ajax were visibly more alarmed, their eyes wandering over each Dark Angel's hands, only to find themselves searching their stomachs and not recognizing the weapons.

Hecht's performance was a little better, he seemed to be chewing something, his eyes constantly swept over the silver figure in the distance, his throat kept rolling, obviously not a normal swallowing motion.

And at the end of Hecht's vision, Morgan watched as the battle moon approached and did the same action as Hecht: swallow.

Whenever she looked at the dead planet, at the millions of alive, safe, and free to eat at will; Look at the huge hall where you can escape the vision of the dark angel and eat at will; And hidden in the deepest part, the final treasure that is badly wounded and dying, but also luscious.

She had to swallow to contain the steady stream of saliva in her mouth.

——————

Well.

Gluttonous.

"Then, the layout of [Lion] began."

"In the few Terra standard months when Ran Dan thought we had nothing to do, the First Legion began to arrange on the Sabis IV star, and we successfully found the device that opened the star gate, and at the same time, as a precaution against Ran Dan [Battle Marshal], we set up some temporary underground fortresses on the Sabis IV Star to store the hole cards of those needles for those Ran Dan [War Marshals]."

"That psionic nuclear bomb is one of them, and it's not too powerful compared to the other preparations."

"As for you, and the [alpha], and even those of the Second Legion, you are actually a means of correspondence, and we were brought to this galaxy as a corkscrew to activate these hole cards, but after referring to the actual situation, we chose the [alpha]."

"While these preparations are underway, everything is going on normally, and we have sent a pure cannon fodder regiment to garrison here, and even the logistics department responsible for the deployment of supplies thinks this is an ordinary dispatch."

"Everything is to target those spies who are hidden within the empire after being controlled by Ran Dan's mind, and everything is to let Ran Dan's fleet get into this net."

"We're paying more for this than you think."

"Do you remember Azir? Oh, you'd have forgotten about him. ”

"Azir, and others, whose deaths are so prosaic among the ignorant, like in the mouth of that little cub of Zaharel, who died in an encounter, if I remember correctly, that little cub and his company of Caliban are now being thrown on Sabis IV to sweep the battlefield."

"The real burden is still on the Terra, isn't it?"

"Then again, whether it's Azil or all those who died in the encounter with this Randan fleet, they actually did it on purpose, and even the 244th Cruiser Fleet, which lost contact, was actually commanded by our people."

"Their deaths are short-lived, shattered, but priceless, and when the Randans thought they had devoured all the witnesses without blood, in fact, the first moment they discovered these aliens, they kept sending back information and observations."

"When their blood spilled on the galaxy, their blood dripped on the map, leaving Ran Dan's trajectory nowhere to hide, allowing us to confirm that this is a huge prey worth continuing to invest in and wait for, allowing us to accurately control the number of personnel, which can not only delay Ran Dan's first wave of attack, but also not make them suspicious."

"That's sacrifice."

"Remember, you little, every sacrifice is not meaningless, the sacrifice itself is the greatest meaning."

"And all this, they don't know."

"They think we are unprepared, that we are weak, that we are the new medals in their blasphemous conquests."

"They don't know anything."

"And in the midst of this ignorance and arrogance, they went straight into the trap of the [lion]."

——————

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to regret to inform you that due to the dense firepower network of this big guy in front of us, any landing operation using airdrop silos, jumping torpedoes, and storm birds is the purest act of death."

"So we're going to hit it straight up."

"To repeat, the Tears of Reason is about to make a hard landing, please be prepared for the impact, and millions of xenomorph stubbles!"

"I know you'd love to kill them, guys, because I'd love to do that too, but remember our number one priority, don't forget it, or the [Lion] will be angry, it's much scarier than a planetary alien."

There was a low laugh in the cabin.

"Alright, without further ado, now you still have time to say goodbye to the fighting brothers beside you, and when those miscellaneous things rush up, you know, all the organizations and queues will be history."

"Now, get ready for the impact!"

The voice suddenly became muffled.

"Be prepared for death."

——————

"When Randan's fleet steps into this system, the final hunt has already begun."

"But before that, as you can see, we spent a day on Sabis IV, so that the alien fleets could completely flood into the central region of the system, especially the Battle Moon, which was extremely powerful, but its slow speed was the only drawback."

"And when we've dragged on long enough, at this very moment, as you can see, we've temporarily shut down Mandeville Point with one of the Legion's secrets, leaving the Sabis system a net with no holes."

"What's next?"

"Of course, I'm waiting for the real killer move."

"You don't think that we people can annihilate such a huge force, do you?"

"As for what the killer move is......"

"You should still remember, or you have forgotten, at this moment, on the front line of Xana, the war between the Empire and Ran Dan is coming to a standstill, and reinforcements from various legions are also arriving, which means that we can draw enough troops."

"And on this basis, do you remember the plans of these Randan fleets?"

"They plan to jump directly to the vicinity of Xana through the Mandeville point here, as well as the stargate, and surprise our main force."

"Then here's the problem."

"Since they can jump to Xana through this star gate, can't the main force of our army stationed in Xana jump here through this star gate?"

"After all, we're the hunters."

——————

Radiance.

As the Tears of Reason made its final charge towards the battle moon of Randan, light burst out from a corner of the Sabis system.

Morgan could feel something, she felt something awakened on Sabis IV, an ancient slumber that had been interrupted.

A sharp edge slowly slashed out from the desert of Sabis IV, cutting into the skin of the void, and in the blink of an eye, an amber light flooded out of it, and with it appeared a horde of warships of the Human Empire that were ready to go.

And the brightest and greatest of them all is a terrifying battleship of almost pure black, a ruthless death in the void, a metal beast ready to roar in all directions.

It was a Queen of Glory.

That was the flagship of the First Army.

It was one of the greatest and proudest forces of the Empire.

It was the genetic prototype of the Dark Angel, the ship of Leon-Johnson himself.
