The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 76 Bronya
"Cocolia, Cocolia".

In the dead of night, a faint, ethereal voice reached Cocolia's ears.

“I told you, don’t rush her. She’s grown up now, and the Earth Essence is almost depleted. In a few years, the plan can begin.” Cocolia opened her eyes from her sleep and said coldly.

"No, I'm not rushing you, but telling you that extraterrestrials have infiltrated Beloborg. They want to sabotage your plans and take away your last hope."

"People from outer space? Who are they?" Cocolia sat up, her expression becoming much more serious.

"You don't need to know who they are. Just know that they will definitely stop you from creating a new world."

“No one can stop me. How many of them are there? Where are they?” Cocolia said firmly.

"There are nine people in total. This is what they look like. Go and kill them. Only I can help you rebuild a new world."

The images of the nine people appeared in her mind. Cocolia got up, but instead of immediately doing as the voice had said, she went into the library.

More than 700 years ago, Yalilo VI connected with the world and asked all the major powers for help, including the company and the Immortal Ship. However, apart from lending them a sum of money, no one could help them solve the crisis.

Even the two most famous powers in the universe couldn't save them, so how could a few extraterrestrials who happened to come to this planet possibly save them?
The probability of that is no less than one in a trillion, so small that it is impossible for it to happen.

After reviewing records of extraterrestrial forces dating back seven hundred years, Cocolia finally concluded that the extraterrestrials could not help them.

The new world promised by the Star Core is their only hope.

At least there's a 50/50 chance it will either succeed or fail. With no other options, it's worth the gamble.

Night had long passed, and it was now noon. Cocolia, using the memories given by the Star Core, drew up wanted posters for the nine people and ordered the guards to search the entire city for them.

……

Meanwhile, Bronya also came to the mechanical house at Hilva's invitation.

"Aunt Silva, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me?" Bronya asked, somewhat puzzled. Heaven knows just how busy she was and how much effort it took for her to squeeze out the time.

Hiluva peeked out of the house to make sure no one was following her, then closed the door and drew the curtains.

"Huh? What, are you going to talk bad about Mother again?" Bronya had a slight headache.

"No... uh, never mind, I heard you and Cocolia had another fight the day before yesterday? What did she do this time?" Hilva wanted to deny it, but after thinking about what she was going to talk about later, hey, she really couldn't deny it.

“That day I was organizing the battle on the front lines when she suddenly ordered the Silvermane Archer fire team to move forward twenty meters. She wasn’t even there at the time and had no idea what the situation was like, yet she still gave such an order, which resulted in more than ten Silvermane Iron Guards being killed or wounded for no reason. Such sacrifices were meaningless!” Bronya said angrily.

Hilva remained silent for a moment. Cocolia had graduated with a perfect score in her conducting class back then, so she shouldn't be giving such a frivolous instruction.

"Since you think her orders are unreasonable, why did you still follow them without stopping her?" Hiluva asked.

“I…I thought Mother had her reasons…” Bronya stammered. “You’re all grown up now, you can stand on your own two feet. You should have your own judgment, instead of blindly trusting others, even if that person is Cocolia,” Hilva said earnestly.

“I…” Bronya opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“Come with me. No matter what happens, I hope you can stay rational and listen to us.” Hilva pulled Bronya toward a cubicle in the mechanical house.

"You guys?" Bronya was puzzled. Who else could it be besides Sylva?

Bronya was taken aback when she entered the cubicle and found it full of people.

"Who are you people?" Bronya was surprised, but she didn't do anything rash. After all, it was Hilva who had asked her to meet them. Would Hilva possibly harm her?

Walter looked at Bronya with a nostalgic expression in his eyes. Apart from the number of ponytails at the back, they were almost 90% similar.

So Cocolia must be quite similar to Cocolia from his original world, which makes it even more suspicious.

Walter didn't say anything. He got out of the car mainly to relax and also as a backup plan. He would leave the negotiation and training to the three little ones so that they could gradually grow up and become independent.

To avoid causing Bronya to resist, the pioneering team did not directly address Cocolia's issue. Instead, they first revealed their identities and started by talking about the Star Core, allowing Bronya to fully understand what the Star Core was and that the cold wave and rift they faced were caused by it.

With solid evidence and Hilva's corroboration, Bronya easily believed the pioneer team's words.

The following conversation is the most crucial.

Xing winked at Meng Huaifeng, who smiled helplessly and secretly gave her an OK sign.

“Miss Bronya, we overheard your conversation with Hilva outside. Does Cocolia often issue such unreasonable orders?” Xing asked with a hint of smugness.

"Um...no." In front of outsiders, Bronya instinctively wanted to maintain the dignity of the High Warden. However, the girl, who rarely lied, blushed as cutely as an apple. But remembering that Xing had overheard their previous conversation, she added, "Only occasionally."

“Bronya, there’s no need to cover for that guy. He made a mistake, that’s a mistake! Did she dare to give such an order and then worry about what others would say?” Shilu said irritably.

"I... perhaps Mother really has other considerations. My sacrifice on this side is for the better situation on the other side." Bronya's face turned even redder.

“It’s fine if you lie to us, but do you really want to lie to yourself too? I don’t believe you really think that way. I know your performance in command class very well, and you’ve questioned Cocolia’s orders multiple times.” Hilva grabbed Bronya’s shoulders and stared directly into her eyes.

Bronya tried to look away, but Shiluva turned her head back.

“Alright.” Bronya lowered her head in frustration and took out a few sheets of paper from her bosom: “This is a summary of the current situation in the Iron Guard restricted area and related opinions written by Pera, which is also the reason for my argument with my mother.”

Hiluva spread out several papers on the table, and the pioneering team gathered around to look at them. The letter read—
