Caledo Modi's words drew everyone's attention, including Ye Ming's.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, which was a small passageway between Krieg and the Storm Starfield.

That place was very remote, bypassing the nearby Forging World, Grei'e, and approaching the Hazy Star Sector.

This path is inherently treacherous. Although it has the Netway Gate and the Subspace Passage, it is frequently subject to various unknown interferences due to its location on the edge of the Milky Way.

So even demons wouldn't go through that place!

Now, due to the warp storms caused by the opening of the Great Rift, this region has become even more volatile and unpredictable. Before the Great Rift even opened, some people claimed to have seen green-skinned orcs in the vicinity!

Caledo Modi suggested they go through this place, which was not just daring, it was downright suicide!

"It's too risky. Grei'er is under the control of the Mechanicus, but they remain loyal to the Emperor and the Empire. We just need to convey the Regent's orders, and they will certainly choose to obey."

Dis Mando said, "We can use their power to prepare supplies for the fleet that arrives later, and use their power to explore the situation in the Storm Starfield."

"I have no doubt about their loyalty, but with warp demons lurking everywhere, I agree with the Caledon brothers' suggestion," Nassa Delacion said. "With such a special chapter appearing in such a conspicuous location, the enemy will definitely notice us unless they are blind."

"At that time, we will lose our first-mover advantage. It would be better to go around to the Storm Starfield first, find out the situation, and then we will take the initiative. Whether we attack or wait for a pincer attack, it will be up to us."

"The problem is that we lack the necessary intelligence. We don't know if these people are still loyal, or if these important worlds are still in the hands of the Empire."

The Imperial Guard Company Commander, Gerdler Santa, spoke first, and he said the most crucial point.

All the current speculation stems from their lack of knowledge about the specifics, given the presence of the Warp Demons, a troublesome and disruptive group.

Once the Emperor's starlight is extinguished, the loyalty of the entire human empire will inevitably plummet to rock bottom.

After all, you can't expect untrained mortals in a real material universe, where suffering is the norm, to stop the spread of false illusions by warp demons—even if they know those are illusions.

"Well, in that case, let's wait for the investigation report on Krieg."

Ye Ming said, "The rescue of our compatriots is of utmost urgency, but before that, we must ensure our own safe arrival and that the subsequent fleet will not suffer unnecessary attacks."

No one said anything more; Ye Ming's decision was a compromise.

Caledo Modi was a radical; his idea was to bypass the predictable loyal worlds along the route and go straight into the Storm Starfield, catching the demons there off guard who already knew of its existence.

That's a great idea.

Because Ye Ming knew that there were indeed demons on the Ophelia VII in the Storm Starfield, and that the demons had enslaved the people on that planet!

Knowing the situation in advance and launching a direct assault could be a unique tactic.

Even once they arrive, they are able to achieve results beyond imagination!

The problem is that the uncertainty of that route itself is enough to make people feel fearful and force them to seriously consider the gains and losses.

Especially considering that their numbers are already small.

Nassa Delacion shared the same idea as Caledo Modi; as a Grey Knight, he naturally wanted to eliminate the demons first.

Dismando's proposal, on the other hand, is a very prudent solution.

After all, they were only there to gather intelligence and prepare for the subsequent expeditionary fleet's advance, not to actually engage the enemy head-on.

Therefore, all we need to do is contact these two important worlds, use their power to sweep through the Storm Starfield, and wait for the follow-up fleet.

As for the Imperial Guard company commander, Gerdler Santa, he sided with Ye Ming, and his mention of the key points was merely to give Ye Ming a way out.

After all, everyone hasn't fully integrated yet, and it's normal to have differences in ideas, personalities, and tactics. At this time, the best approach is to remain impartial and take a middle-ground, prudent approach.

When truly mature fighter jets arrive later, the two sides' plans can be adopted separately and integrated for coordinated combat.

This approach not only avoids favoritism but also allows for coordination between the two sides, fostering mutual respect and preventing any rift between them.

Before long, the squad that went to investigate returned, bringing back news that the Kriegs remained loyal.

Ye Ming then led the First Company down to Krieg Star to formally announce the Regent's orders.

While waiting to assemble, Ye Ming was also sending messages to the expeditionary force.

While sending the message, Ye Ming also felt a vibration in the shared space; another new Ye Ming had arrived!

Ye Ming went directly into the shared space.

Whether he enters the shared space depends not on the near-forbidden time difference, but on whether his current environment is safe.

He would only enter the shared space in combat mode during an emergency; otherwise, he would only enter when he was in a completely safe environment.

……

the other side.

Guilliman, who departed some time later than Ye Ming, was currently mobilizing his fleet. While making these arrangements, he was also looking for people who could help him search for historical books.

While in Terra, Guilliman's search for and exploration of history drew strong resistance from the Inquisition.

But the court was very important, and it was also a key player in this series of events. Even if Killieman wanted to act unilaterally, he had no excuse or reason to do so.

Investigating the truth of the past ten thousand years, compiling historical records, and finding the reasons why the empire has become what it is today are things that Guilliman has to do.

Therefore, after the fleet set sail, Guilliman established an organization that obeyed only him—the Society of Rational History.

They "rescued" four historians from the crisis, who were later referred to by members of the Rational History Association as the "Four Founding Saints" of the New Rational History Association.

This association is operating under Killieman's seal, but of course, it hasn't made a name for itself yet; it's just one move in Killieman's scheme.

Guilliman gazed into the distance. His fleet would not take that route, but instead head in the other direction, towards the ruins of Cardia, to fight there.

"Has Ye Ming already arrived on Krieg...? Judging by the speed of message transmission, he should already be heading to Grei'er, or perhaps he's already stormed into the Storm Starfield..."

I hope everything is alright.

……

Honkai Impact: Starry Sky Railway World.

"We once had a glorious future; we once ruled the entire galaxy. Now, the galaxy has crumbled, and countless villains have forgotten the greatness of our empire!"

"When the golden light descends, twenty armored angels, bearing the glory of an emperor, will once again set the galaxy ablaze!"

A young man is performing his latest play in the square with great emotion.

The people around him clapped excitedly and cheered for the young man.

It's not just because the young people performed so well, but also because his series of novels, animations, and comics are incredibly captivating!

The ancient planet called "Earth" is depicted in his work as magnificent, passionate, and filled with the beauty and praise of humanity.

Just reading his novels can inspire an indescribable power, helping many people emerge from the shadows and bravely step into the future.

And he is none other than Ye Ming, the art superstar of Pinocchio!

Thank you all for coming.

After finishing recounting the latest part of the plot, Ye Ming smiled and bowed to everyone. Then, he pulled his clothes outward with his right hand, leaned slightly backward, and said in a meaningful tone, "Although everyone is tired of hearing this, I still have to say it—"

"What I'm talking about is all history."

"Aaaaaah! Ye Ming! I want to have your babies!"

"That was so cool! That move was so iconic! It was worth spending all my money to see you!"

The cheers around them reached their peak after Ye Ming spoke.

Ye Ming himself put on his hat, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd, just as he had come from the crowd.

Not long after Ye Ming left, the crowd dispersed, as if the lively scene had never happened.

The family's hunting dogs appeared around and began searching continuously.

"Report: The change that just happened has disappeared again!"

"There's no trace here either; the stage and crowds we saw from afar are gone!"

"What's going on? Why does he always appear and disappear so mysteriously? Who is he anyway?!"

The hounds were furious. Recently, a guy had been releasing meme viruses everywhere, and every time he appeared, he would isolate the family and the forces of harmony from him, preventing them from entering the area.

Then, many people claiming to be his fans will come from all directions of the galaxy and enter Pinocchio using methods they cannot understand!

Moreover, these people all claimed that they entered the dream world after staying at the Pinocchio Hotel!

The result is often that the person cannot be found!

Ye Ming swung the coin in his hand, sat at a roadside stall, drank his wine, and watched the hunting dogs wander around like headless flies.

He had seen this scene many times, and he never tired of it!

"Sir, your drink." When the waiter handed Ye Ming the refill, Ye Ming did not take it immediately. Instead, he flicked the coin and held it on the back of his hand.

"Every story has a beginning and an end. People hope that the beginning is exciting, full of suspense, and gives them the motivation to keep watching."

"Then they hoped for an ending that would be a magnificent epic, a legendary ending to a legendary story."

"But few people care about the process, because they think that the process in the middle is caused by the beginning and will inevitably lead to the greatness and legend of the ending."

Ye Ming looked at the waiter and flicked the upside-down coin onto the table.

The front is marked with a double-headed eagle emblem.

"But in reality, the guidance during the process is the most important part, because it is through these experiences that the ending becomes great and legendary."

"How can a hound that only chases the beginning and the end find the 'passerby' still in the story?"

Ye Ming smiled and downed the wine in one gulp, then looked at the person opposite him with a smile.

"You're right, aren't you, Mr. Sunday?"
