126: It's time to set off!

(This chapter is short, I will make up for it tomorrow, it's too late today)

(The morning update schedule will resume the day after tomorrow)

...

Although Xi Hai had previously found the gathering place of the aliens entrenched in Tianjin Seat V89—Tianjin Seat V89.91—by searching through the routes,

it was clearly impossible for him to determine whether that place was a transit point for that group of aliens or their official gathering place.

Judging by how fast that group of aliens left earlier, if he arrived late, he might just find an empty nest.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Xi Hai decided to first see if he could catch up, and then decide whether to pursue—

"Julius, you are familiar with the situation here,"

"Is the star marker for the No. 91 star system still there?"

Julius recalled for a moment and said:

"It is no longer there."

"That was one of the first areas to be invaded, and the defending troops detonated the star marker at the very last moment."

Tsk, that's troublesome.

Gently biting his lip, Xi Hai continued to ask:

"What about nearby? Is there a stable star marker on a route close by?"

Julius seemed a bit unsure, but the major general who had just confronted the Taxation Department's communication slammed his palm, seemingly recalling something:

"Report, Supreme Director!"

"There is an intersection star marker numbered 188-74-15157,"

"If you leave the route halfway from there, the distance to the No. 91 node is only nearly 20 AU."

Julius's surprised gaze immediately turned to him, as if asking: How do you know that?

Facing Julius's gaze, the major general smiled and said:

"That was ten years ago,"

"I happened to run into a collection team from the Taxation Department over there,"

"I saw their ships were nice, so I followed them for a bit,"

"After I salvaged their Warship, I took a slight detour,"

"I've forgotten the process, and I've forgotten the reason too,"

"Anyway, after being thrown out from there, it was the No. 91 star system."

Seriously? It actually exists?

He could find such a sneaky spot?

Xi Hai became somewhat interested in this major general—

"Major General, tell me, what is your name, and what is your position?"

Upon realizing that Xi Hai was asking him, the major general immediately straightened his back and said:

"Me? My name is Gabriel, and I am the current Chief of Logistics."

Well, that name certainly has style.

It really sounds like that angel from the myths, doesn't it?

"Your ability is strong, and I appreciate you,"

"But—"

"I want to specifically emphasize to you that we are not short on equipment now,"

"Don't use your traditional skills on friendly forces."

"As for salvaging... strategic relocation and rational allocation of materials from heretics and enemies, be quick and clean about it."

Gabriel immediately replied:

"Yes!"

Xi Hai withdrew his gaze from Gabriel.

Since it was still possible to get there via the Void Channel, the pursuit became a very simple matter.

As for whether he could make it back?

Xi Hai didn't think it was an issue. Anyway, it was a clone body being sent, and ships were being churned out like dumplings three times a day. If he could eliminate this group of rampaging heretics, it would be a real bargain—

With that in mind, he picked up his communicator, opened the internal channel for his fleet, and issued an order.

"Notify everyone, prepare to set off."

After issuing the order, Xi Hai walked outside.

When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Julius, saying:

"I was just thinking about your Legion's title,"

"But no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't find one that felt right."

"Indeed, what I came up with alone only suited my own interests,"

"So, I simply decided to continue using the title that the people of the entire Tianjin Seat V89 gave you—"

"Guardian Angels."

"The reputation and prestige you have accumulated are all entrusted in this name,"

"Now, this name has been officially recognized."

"For your exclusive Legion flag, go find a guy named 8225 to design it; he's a professional."

"Wait for me to come back and present the flag to you."

Julius immediately stood at attention and replied:

"Yes!"
