Chapter 2776 |▽) The seeds that began to take root and sprout
It has been several days since the Canopy Star disappeared and the entire terrestrial galaxy was subject to considerable gravitational shocks, causing orbital changes and chaos among the planets and other stars in the entire galaxy.
At this time, Horus's fleet had already desperately escaped from the original orbit of the Pagoda Star and arrived at Mandeville Point outside the system, and then converged with the Emperor's main fleet.
In the past few days, although both the Emperor and Horus were extremely looking forward to the appearance of the Canopy Star, the results did not satisfy them. There were no clues or signs that the planet was about to appear.
So, as a last resort, the Emperor had no choice but to order Horus to meet with him and learn in detail the entire process from when Horus led the Second Expeditionary Fleet to the Taiwei System, to the final conflict and fight between the two sides.
.
During this period, of course the emperor had to question him.
For example, ask Horus why he went to such an extent with the human forces in the Star Zone and the Huagai Star, why he sent ground troops, and what were the reasons for the various abnormal operations and orders during the attack.
In this regard, Horus had already prepared a set of excuses.
Although every word he said when reporting on work was true, he deliberately concealed the truth of certain things. Of course, he only said that he was executing the emperor's order, and then explained that he had originally
Are you not planning to use force? Are you planning to obtain those technologies in a relatively peaceful way?
But in the end, under the emperor's repeated urging, he had to take desperate measures and planned to use force to seize it. He even had to send ground troops to attack the opponent's fortresses and cities, and then deliberately restricted certain technologies for the sake of the integrity of the technology.
Orbital bombing and so on.
"..."
In this regard, although the emperor felt that Horus seemed to be hiding something, he did not fully explain everything. However, considering that he had indeed issued that strict order at that time, considering that it seemed a bit strange,
Feeling the absurdity of hitting himself in the foot, he finally just sighed and stopped talking.
After all, he really urged Horus to take action at that time, and then he became very angry when he saw that the other party continued to linger and came to take a look and was ready to punish him harshly.
But the result...
He now had to admit that Horus's judgment seemed to be correct, but on the contrary, his order at that time was wrong and unreasonable?
So, he finally decided to ignore the topic permanently and signaled Horus to leave, so as not to bring trouble to himself by continuing to ask questions?
"Father!"
However, Horus was not willing to leave like this. After hesitating and struggling for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked anxiously:
"Do you know..."
"They, that planet, where is it now?"
Horus himself would definitely not be able to find the Canopy Star, but he felt that perhaps the omnipotent and extremely powerful father in front of him might know more.
"..."
The emperor did not speak hastily, but raised his eyes and glanced at Horus in surprise.
"Didn't you guess it yourself?"
"The fluctuation was so obvious at that time, you should be familiar with it, right?"
Then, the emperor did not say anything clearly, but just stared at Horus once more before asking meaningfully.
"Subspace..."
Horus paused awkwardly, but continued to ask with a bitter look on his face.
"That……"
"Can we find them?"
Of course, he had already come to the conclusion that the Huagai Star might have gone into the subspace, but even then, he still didn't give up.
After all, he only got about 70-80% of the information, and the guys in the star area are still very cunning. Even if they are only missing 20-30%, many key points are completely missing. If a
If they conduct experiments in different places, God knows how much they will pay and how many years of time they will waste before they can get the same results as the other party.
So, if possible, he thinks it would be more reliable to find the missing planet as soon as possible?
"cannot."
The emperor pondered for a while and finally shook his head.
"You yourself know what subspace is. There, definitions of space, orientation, coordinates, etc. are meaningless."
"Unless they actively expose themselves, or emit dazzling light like Terra's psychic beacon, it will be absolutely impossible to find them."
In fact, there are ways.
For example, if he found some powerful beings in the subspace to make a deal, those guys might know something, but he didn't dare to try such a dangerous method easily, let alone inform Horus.
.
"That…"
"When will they come out again?"
Seeing that there was no other way, Horus had no choice but to retreat and ask again, wanting to know if the other party would leave the subspace again. Just like when they were sailing in the subspace, sooner or later they would.
from.
"it's useless!"
However, the emperor shook his head again.
"That place also has no definition of time, and no one knows how long they will stay there."
"Considering that they did not use the subspace engine to enter, but directly integrated into the subspace in some way, so..."
"When they appear again, maybe it will be the next moment, maybe the next year, or the next thousand years, the next ten thousand years, or even in the extremely distant future?"
"Of course, it could also be the distant past."
"And then..."
"No one knows where they will appear next time, because the probability of them appearing in the same place may be infinitely close to zero!"
"So, give up Horus, we can't find them."
"I'm still late after all..."
After saying this, the emperor himself couldn't help but sigh.
But after all, he still didn't take the initiative to admit his mistake. He just regretted that he came late. If he could have come a month earlier, maybe things would have turned around. But now, it's too late to say anything.
"..."
At this time, Horus finally gave up. He had nothing to say. He just lowered his head in frustration and darkened his face. His face looked very ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"okay!"
"You go back first!"
"If you are not worried, you can send a few battleships to stay outside the galaxy, and then establish a few observation points? The Taiwei galaxy cannot be stabilized in a short time. It is a long process of change."
"As for the Canopy Star, you'd better not have too much hope."
Without knowing where the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector was, not sure when the planet would appear, and not knowing the specific location of the opponent's reappearance, the Emperor himself certainly did not intend to stay and waste time.
As for the wreckage of the fighter planes collected by Horus, even if they were still intact, he was not optimistic about them.
Because those priests of the Mechanicum who only know archeology are unreliable, and trying to crack the opponent's technology is simply a dream. Therefore, before he is sure that he can definitely obtain the advanced warping technology, he still plans to continue to implement it.
His plan for the great expedition.
Perhaps, after dozens or hundreds of years, when the Great Crusade is almost complete, if there is no breakthrough in technology and the people from that sector still do not appear, he will still return to Terra and continue his original mission.
plan of.
"yes!"
Hearing this, Horus bowed respectfully to the emperor, then his eyes flickered and he hesitated for a while, but in the end he said nothing, but slowly turned around and left the splendid and palace-like palace.
's bridge.
After struggling for several months, in the end, not only did he get nothing, but he also involved many soldiers. The key is that in the end, their fourth company commander Sejanus of the Luna Wolf and many A
None of the Stats have evacuated, and it is not known what their current situation is.
Thinking of this, Horus, who felt even more depressed, felt even heavier.
However, what was different from Horus's depression after losing his beloved general and failing in his plan was that at this moment, on the bottom deck of the Vengeful Spirit, there were some people who had never been taken into consideration by him, or even considered by him.
The existence he sees as an adult feels heavier than he does!
Isn’t this?
When Horus was stranded on the Emperor's flagship and preparing to return, on the lower deck of the flagship Vengeful Spirit, outside the door of little Ali's house, there was a large group of ship coolies who could tell by looking at their clothes and decorations that they were bottom consumables.
They were gathered outside their small home and talking in low voices.
"he died?"
"died."
"He just died today. When he returned, the macro cannon suddenly overloaded and exploded during the test. Then he was poisoned to death."
"Including him, I heard that several people died on the Honggun deck!"
