"That's it."

"The break is over."

"Now, let's get to work."

The silence and commentary of the Lion of Caliban lasted only a brief moment, and when he turned his gaze elsewhere, the eyes of the King of Knight were left with endless perseverance and solemnity.

If it weren't for the superhuman sight and senses brought about by the same genetic protogen, Morgan even wondered if his blood relatives had ever had that almost fleeting rest and relaxation, and the eternal harshness from the deep forests of Caliban seemed to have loosened in a moment, and it seemed that it had not changed in the slightest.

But no matter what Morgan thinks, from now on, she should follow the rhythm of Johnson's work, so Morgan's aura suddenly changed, and he became the most capable person and the most trustworthy left and right hand that Johnson had not seen for a long time.

This aura even gave the knight king of Caliban an extra look at her, and Johnson was silent for a moment before nodding his head in satisfaction.

The First Legion's genetic prototype magnified the star map in front of him, so that the very edge of the Sun Domain could be clearly displayed in the pupils of his and his blood relatives: Johnson showed the northern frontier of the Human Empire today, and not long before this war, the Holy Terra side had just decided to name this territory that was still being explored and expanded [Hazy Star Field].

For the sake of identification, the entire star map is represented by two contrasting colors: the territory of the Human Empire is wrapped in a bright light blue, while the territory of the Randan Empire is a dull crimson. This gave Morgan a clear picture of the war at first glance.

Like piercing an awl into a large pile of sand, the Randan Empire stabbed a deep blow from its northern realm of the galaxy, grinding out a tragic path of blood and bones from the weakest southeast of the hazy star field, and the edge penetrated all the way through the northern territory of the human empire, and now its spear tip has reached the northeast edge of the solar star field.

Behind Morgan, Johnson bent down slightly, the Lion Caliban leaned forward, his head inadvertently close to his blood relatives, and even as he spoke, Morgan could clearly feel the sound of those serious breaths constantly blowing on her earlobes.

"In the aftermath of the subspace storm, the first frontline outposts to report Randan's attack were Silent Star, Siris, and Newkus, and these worlds quickly fell, and they didn't even have time to send a second letter for help."

"In the months that followed, almost all of the systems in the southeastern part of the Hazy Star Field were attacked, and only a very small number of them have survived until now, because of the impact of this storm, the front line has not been able to gather enough troops and fleets, so we have not even been able to organize a major battle in these months."

"However, in the western part of the Hazy Star Field, the Randan people's attack on the fortress worlds near the Eye of Fear ended in failure, and the casting world Agrippina and Trisoria held on, and the Caliban system was harassed by them before this, but it didn't hurt."

"According to the latest information, these blasphemous alien vanguard fleets have arrived in the Psina system, and the other side of Telos IV has been officially confirmed to have been captured by Randan's army in a letter yesterday, which is the last fortress world that the Empire has in the southeast of the Hazy Star Field."

"In other words, as long as Ran Dan's fleet continues to advance, they will officially enter the Sun Star Domain, which is the worst situation that no one can accept."

"At that time, the first major galaxy they will be touching in the solar field will be the Fenris system, yes, the home planet of that guy from Riemanruth, I don't believe he will leave something in his lair."

"Behind the Fenris system are several Foundry worlds, including Vos, Vanaheim, and Palaher, and after these Foundry worlds are Betan-Gammon."

Morgan listened quietly as the Knight King of Caliban explained to him the current situation on the front line, and the Spider Lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and the blue pupils shot a light of exploration. Wander back and forth between important worlds that have not yet fallen, or have fallen.

In Morgan's mind, the fragments of thoughts and memories are constantly expanding, shattering, and brewing invisible waves, and in this wave there are constantly some questions, most of which will be quickly answered by her wisdom in the next few seconds, and those questions that are left behind are the ones she wants to ask Johnson.

Before asking, Morgan looked at the star map in front of her again. In her churning mind, memories and perceptions of the hazy galaxy were repeated over and over again.

The current hazy star field is nothing more than a sandy beach explored outward by the Sun Star Field, the result of the free exploration that the Human Empire has almost never officially organized, which is also very normal, after all, in general, the vast territory east of the Holy Terra is the main direction of expansion of this great expedition.

In the decades since the Great Expedition began, countless exploration fleets, private fleets, and ronin traders who have followed the Lord of Humanity have continued to explore more and more territories northward as the invisible vanguard of the Empire.

About fifty years after the Emperor embarked on this great expedition, the Human Empire found the genetic prototype of the First Legion on the planet Caliban, located in the western part of the Hazy Star Field, and this world became the core territory of the Human Empire in this vast territory.

More exploration fleets are centered on the Caliban system, constantly expanding the territory of the empire in the western part of the hazy star field, while the main force of the other exploration fleet is coming from afar from the maelstrom region, and before the war begins, their footsteps have traveled to the Gothic star sector in the eastern part of the hazy star field, and have contacted the casting world that has taken root here.

Generally speaking, the expansion of the Empire of Humanity to the hazy star field is still limited to the eastern and western frontiers, just like a crab claw with a large area of space, at least the vast central and northern parts of this star field are only a gray and ominous shadow for even the most experienced exploration captain.

But that didn't stop the Emperor's followers from reaffirming their race's ancient rights and territories that were tens of thousands of years old, drawing the boundaries of the so-called hazy star fields all the way to the empty stars in the northernmost part of the galaxy.

Thus, the two primordials were born this strange scene in front of their eyes: the actual situation of most of the territory of this land claimed by the Human Empire, called the Hazy Star Field, was unknown to Divine Terra. Because before the outbreak of this war, they were the territory of the real Randan Alien Empire and other small countries, and they were surrounded by the barren galaxies that the Human Empire had been encroaching on in the previous decades.

Because of this, Sainteterra has maintained a certain indifference in this war, because although the war with Randan is indeed extremely tragic: the entire fleet has disappeared into the shadow of the galaxy, millions or even tens of millions of mortal auxiliaries have gone to the battlefield and never returned, and even Astarte's casualties have already reached tens of thousands.

But at the end of the day, the core of the Human Empire has not been damaged much by this war, and most of the galaxies that have been contested, destroyed, and burned are just buffer areas that the Human Empire has no actual control over, and the inhabitants who are unfortunately affected are not in the great plans of the bureaucrats of Holy Terra.

Therefore, although judging from the color and layout of the star map, the human empire has reached a precarious point in this war, but the real situation is actually not so critical and terrible, in the eyes of Divine Terra, although a legion has been missing, but with the power of the dark angel and other legions one after another reinforcements, it is enough to end the suspense of any war.

Ran Dan has indeed caused a very huge amount of trouble, and their trickiness and dangerous attributes may be the highest since the beginning of the Great Expedition, or in other words, such a powerful alien interstellar empire, even if you look at the galaxy, there are only a few of them.

But in the final analysis, for a galactic hegemon that is unified, united, and thriving, Ran Dan is only a trouble, a problem, a problem that is enough to make the empire invest in many primordials and legions.

And this attitude of Holy Terra can also be glimpsed in their reinforcements for Johnson, Machado did send a lot of reinforcements, including the Astarte Legion, as well as the mortal auxiliaries, as well as a large number of cutting-edge fleets, but those powerful armies that can really make a name for themselves on the battlefield, such as the Shadow Moon Wolf or the Ultramarines, did not appear in this war at all.

In the army under Johnson's command, apart from the scattered reinforcements from other Astarte regiments, there was only a large army led by two primitives.

The wolf king of Fenris returned from the home planet of the Eleventh Primordial with his army in a melancholy manner, and the Sixth Legion seemed to have some damage, but they could still participate in the next big battle.

The other support army was somewhat unexpected: Vulcan, the Lord of the Fire Dragon, and his legion had little to do with this huge frontal battle, but after hearing about the crisis situation in the northern part of the galaxy, the Nocturne King still silently led his heirs to appear on this scorching battlefield, ready to sacrifice all his strength for his brother and the human empire.

Three Genetic Protogens, three legions, and more or less reinforcements from each legion are the core of what is now the Knight King of Caliban.

"Three hundred thousand."

With a calm attitude, Johnson slowly spit out this number, which was enough to make countless people feel uneasy, whether he was from Randan or Ksunian.

Three hundred thousand Astartes.

This is the power that Johnson has been entrusted with.

Morgan was silent for a moment, then asked the most new question in her mind.

How many of them are your dark angels? 】

"The vast majority."

The voice of this answer is proud.

Lady Spider nodded, she didn't go into any more discussion about the question and the philosophical questions of sacrifice and devotion that the answer symbolized, knowing that what Johnson needed was not that.

She just took one last look at the star map in front of her, and then turned all her eyes on her brother.

So, what's your next step?] Johnson. 】

The lion of Caliban did not immediately answer his blood relative, he just raised his head slightly, looking rare and reserved.

"I believe in your abilities, Morgan, if you hadn't regressed in that subspace storm, you should have been able to see the clue and make a preliminary deduction."

Morgan did see some clues.

In the southeast of the fallen Hazy Star Field, some of the worlds conquered by Ran Dan looked extremely strange, they didn't seem to be directly attacked, but rather deliberate...... Abandon.

From another point of view, Johnson has been taking over this front for a while, Morgan doesn't believe that during this time, he can let Ran Dan's army conquer the city and be invincible, if Johnson really does whatever it takes, even if Ran Dan can touch the edge of the Sun Star Field, it will not be so fast.

Morgan thought about it for a moment, but it didn't take long.

【……】

Her pupils lit up.

[Are you putting them in?] 】

[Are you putting Ran Dan's last main army into your pocket? 】

[For this reason, you are even willing to give up those worlds that can still hold on for a while? 】

Johnson snorted.

"It's an old-fashioned trick, isn't it?"

"But they just take the bait."

"I'm not sure if they have a lot of confidence in their hole cards, or if they have indeed exhausted the last blood in the previous strangulation battle, in short, the pace and rhythm of Ran Dan's attack are indeed too reckless, but he has put all his strength into the front line without hesitation again and again."

"It really made their attack seem unstoppable for a while. But this also just shows that as long as we can eat this greatest force, the so-called Randan Empire will become a dry bone in a grave. ”

"Do you know that in the information that came back before, although the number of Ran Dan's army is unprecedented, it has already mixed a large number of [young] and [old] individuals, and we have never seen them on the battlefield before."

"You know what that means."

Morgan nodded, her pupils constantly flowing with color: thoughtful, calculating, conceiving, but there was no emotion and awe for life.

How did you convince those mortals? 】

"I didn't convince the mortals, all of them were against my plan, they were all clamoring for a fight, but the single command of the Holy Terra was more powerful than all their voices combined."

[Have you ever thought that Ran Dan may really have any particularly powerful hole cards? 】

[After all, you look at their offensive line: this is an indomitable edge, as long as it is broken, there is no turning back. 】

[No sane person would rest the fate of their race on such a crazy attack, unless they are absolutely sure that it would be a crazy gamble.] 】

"You're wrong, Morgan."

"In this galaxy, the fate of every race is a gamble, except that our hole cards are deeper and can allow us to withstand defeat after failure."

"And Ran Dan, as such a strong opponent, they will definitely have their own hole cards, this war will definitely not end in an easy way, the missing legion alone speaks for itself."

"And in the previous wars, the frontline world did frequently mention that there was a strange individual in Ran Dan's army."

"He radiates a golden light, his stature is incomparably tall, and every time he falls from the sky, when he appears, Ran Dan's army will fall into extreme excitement, and the spirit of the imperial defenders will also be disturbed."

"In the most exaggerated case, he just stood on the surface and let the entire fortress world surrender without a fight."

"As for the Eleventh Legion, some very bad news has come back from the front, some of which were brought back by your heirs, and I will tell you more about it later."

"The reality is that it won't be an easy win."

"And what I'm going to do is carry out my plan...... And use everything I have to get this victory, that's all. ”

The male lion exhaled softly, his eyes still fixed on the star map in front of him, staring at the endless death and pain caused by Ran Dan and himself in countless worlds.

He didn't waver in the slightest.

Morgan didn't continue the conversation, her attention caught in a term that Johnson had just unintentionally mentioned.

[My heirs, my legion? 】

Are they on the front line now? 】

"There are hundreds of people, from different fleets, and now they are gradually coming together, and one of them, Hecht, has made some impressions on me."

"And many more have been blown away, for now, most of the fleets of the Second Legion are scattered in the southern part of the galaxy, but some have been blown away by the storm, and there is no news so far, including a large detachment that is still missing."

Apparently, during Morgan's absence, Johnson also collected information about the children of his blood relatives.

"That fleet originally accepted the invitation of our brother Killiman to go to the Five Hundred Worlds to assist in the battle, learn and join the troops, but halfway through, they were attacked by a subspace storm."

"The last time the Empire saw them, it was around ......"

"Damocles Bay."
