Him and their stars.

Chapter 1964 Return to the Human World
The above impassioned speech came from the Grand Commandery of the Outer Ring War Zone of the Empire, led by Duke Barian.

Of course, generosity is naturally generous, but how effective it is really a matter of personal opinion.

In addition, "ghost" is of course a very common word, but once it appears in the empire's current official military report, it has a very clear specific meaning.

The Galactic Empire is the leader of half the universe. It is necessary to pay attention to the formality of wording. They no longer confuse the Silence with the "Zerg", but naturally they cannot confirm the authenticity of the so-called "Alliance Titan".

Again, if it is not the Alliance Titan, then it is certainly bad news; but if it is really the Alliance Titan, then it is even worse news.

Therefore, in the subsequent reports on "ghosts", their wording became more serious and subdued. They were clearly writing military reports, but between the lines it sounded like an exchange of urban legends, or the kind that was confirmed to have been haunted by ghosts.

Even the people on Earth who were secretly watching the screen could see the confusion and torment of the imperial officers and soldiers from their reports.

Of course, the same thing applies. Since they have already come here, Yu Lian decided to make them suffer a little more, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

The warship of the Enlightened Ones began to move towards the Gate of Glory. Although the sailing action could not be considered a big show - after all, it would seem a bit deliberate - it was at least not concealed. The Silence even appeared within the monitoring range of a civilian passenger ship, highlighting the embodiment of the first ghost story.

Of course, Yu Lian was not a devil after all, and he had not yet fallen to the point of using the Enlightened Ones' black technology to massacre civilians. As for whether any of the passengers on the ship would have a heart attack because of this...all we can say is that this is life.

This large passenger ship named "Spring Breeze Wanli" stopped for half an hour and found that the catastrophe had not come. It sent a signal to the Silence with trepidation. After making sure that this terrifying enemy ship would not open fire on it, it slowly started its journey.

For the tens of thousands of passengers on the ship, this must have been an unforgettable experience.

What they didn't know was that the Silence was parked in place at this moment, and at the same time sending a source wave call to the Alliance and the New Shenzhou.

The communication signal was naturally encrypted through ninety-nine layers of data quantum locks through the terminal of the Silence, so there was no need to worry about it being cracked by the enemy.

However, in the heart of the Empire's Tailai Star Region, on the prosperous transportation route leading to the Gate of Glory, suddenly sending active communications to the outside world is like actively lighting a fire in a dark forest full of danger, hunters and armed hunters.

Although we didn't get to the point of lighting a bonfire, barbecuing, singing and dancing, we still ordered some Chinese food in a casual manner.

In a sense, the intensity of the ridicule may be even greater than the former.

According to Xiao Hui, this is determined by the principle of source matter wave, which cannot be overcome or transferred.

This behavior may have caused confusion to the recipient, and the call lasted for ten minutes before it was finally answered.

When the call was connected and the long-lost astonished expression of Mr. Qi appeared on the screen, Yu Lian actually felt a long-lost sense of intimacy and security, as if his soul had been anchored.

It was not until this moment that he felt like he had finally returned to the human world.

Yu Lian showed a mischievous smile and saluted, "Your Excellency Chairman of the National Defense Committee, Yu Lian from the Outer Ring Theater reports to you. You have been in office for more than a month, but I am only reporting now. It is really a sin."

Mr. Qi's astonishment disappeared immediately, and his face showed obvious distress and helplessness: "Yes, so I don't understand. I am just a scholar, who is lazy and doesn't know how to distinguish between grains. I just want to do something practical for my hometown before retirement and practice the possibility of social reform. I am even prepared to lose my integrity in my later years. Such a sarcastic, immoral and incompetent mediocre person, being the governor of a star region is already greedy for the credit of heaven, how can he be the chairman of the National Defense Committee? Even if a scholar governs a village or a town, he still needs to be cautious. How can he not do bad things when he is used to govern the army?"

"But you are indeed the Chairman of the National Defense Committee of the Free Blue Star. You didn't refuse after all." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Mr. Qi nodded and said, "This is because Jessica told me that Fan Wenzhenggong is actually also a scholar."

Is there something wrong with this analogy? Although Mr. Fan Wencheng's military command skills were better than those of Han Qi and Xia Shen, they were not much better.

"She also said that Xin Jiaxuan and Yu Yonggong were also literati."

Xin Qiji is fine, but is Yu Yunwen really considered a literati?
"She finally said that Wu Hou, who wrote down the famous poem "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital", was also a scholar."

Hey, hey, hey, this is a case of jumping the gun and making a claim, right?
Mr. Qi smiled with relief: "Ahaha, this is not self-deception. I know that we are just a government in exile after all, and the Minister of Defense is just a clay figurine, but I am the only one who can take on the responsibility. Now, what the cabinet members of the Free Blue Planet need is traffic. Jessica compared me to the ancient saints just to make me feel better. I understand."

Yu Lian thought Mr. Qi was too modest. He was not a pure pedantic writer because he had such an understanding. In addition, when he was a literary giant, he liked to cook and even went shopping in the market himself and paid attention to the prices of vegetables and meat.

Yu Lian felt that no matter how unreliable a person was, he would not be that unreliable.

This is one of the reasons why he has always respected the gentleman very much.

He added, "I am now the governor of New Shenzhou and the chairman of the National Defense Committee, but Jessica is now the leader of Free Blue Star. I think I should give her the position of chairman of the Pioneer Party, but she refused. Is there a precedent for this in history?"

Indeed, there isn’t one, but Yu Lian said that he is still very familiar with it and finds it pleasing to the eye.

Mr. Qi shook his head in annoyance: "Forget it, it's a government in exile anyway, and it's inevitable that a makeshift team will talk... Hey, you really like to nag when you get old, but it's obviously your business that I should be talking about now!"

Mr. Qi looked Yu Lian up and down, feeling both happy and worried. "This shows your communication code. Some people think it must be a system error, but I think it must be you. A hero like you, once you have gained momentum, you are a man blessed by heaven. It is impossible for you to disappear silently into the void of the universe. People like you, even if your head really falls off, can definitely stand up again and fight to the end."

"...Sir, there is no need to describe a mere mortal like me as Xing Tian."

Mr. Qi said happily: "I think that if you could go back to the mythological era, Xing Tian would most likely not be able to defeat you. You are still alive, and you have announced to the entire universe that you are still alive. This is the best news."

He hesitated for a moment, but then became worried: "But, although I am a layman in military affairs, I also know that actively initiating communication may expose myself. You are a famous general, you should know how dangerous this is, right?"

Yu Lian shrugged, showing a proud smile, and raised his head and said: "Danger? I am walking in the starry sky in the heart of the empire, I will laugh at danger in its face!"

Mr. Qi stared at Yu Lian for several seconds before he burst out laughing: "Very good, this is indeed your style. Only a real man can show his true character. Although I am just a scholar who can't even tie a chicken, seeing your heroic spirit makes me feel like drinking nectar and I can't help but feel intoxicated."

"So, sir, you are in a poetic mood?"

"Poetry bullshit!" Mr. Qi said unhappily, "Ever since you lost contact, I have been unable to sleep. And with a person as colorful as you around, it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly died of a heart attack at any time!"

What does "people of all kinds" mean? What does "one more" mean?
Yu Lianzheng was still confused when he saw another screen suddenly appearing next to him. It was Yang Xiyi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

This guy is much thinner than the last time I saw him, and looks a bit malnourished. As for his mental state... Anyway, his emotions are always overly stable, and there is basically no sign of trembling or depression.
Of course, Teacher Yang is a brainy person who is completely useless below the neck, and being a little sickly can better highlight her personality. To be honest, many sapiosexual girls like this style. For example, Ms. Jessica Edward, who has now become the leader of Free Blue Star.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian's eyes swept across the four stars on Teacher Yang's collar badge.

Wasn’t it your wife who promoted him to general?

But it’s better this way, as it avoids the embarrassment of teachers saluting students proactively.

Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi looked at each other and asked at the same time: "Where are you now?"

The two of them had no choice but to shut up at the same time.

"Straight to the point, you are indeed a hero." Mr. Qi praised: "Xiao Yang's fleet is of course resting in Tianshu now."

I see. It makes sense for him to be online.

Mr. Qi continued, "As for Yu Lian, uh, where were you?"

"The Empire's Tailai Star Region. It's 500 light years away from the Gate of Glory." Yu Lian thought for a moment and added, "According to this calculation, it seems that I'm only 3000 light years away from the Tower of Babel."

Mr. Qi was stunned again, then fell into distressed thought, and then showed a look of relief: "With my mediocre intelligence, I can't imagine how you appeared there. Hahahaha, I, the Chairman of the National Defense Committee, really don't know anything about military affairs!"

"Don't mind it, sir. There are many defense chiefs in history who knew nothing about military affairs but were qualified or even excellent." Yu Lian comforted.

I don’t know if Mr. Qi was comforted, but at least he smiled happily.

After a brief thought, Yang Xiyi opened his eyes wide, and a gleam of light seemed to appear in his eyes.

"Are they chasing me? I asked a stupid question. How many soldiers are chasing me?"

"There are at least ten battlecruisers, five aircraft carriers and a dragon ship behind. There are four dreadnoughts and seven battlecruisers in front, some of which have returned from the new continent behind the Gate of Glory. Of course, if the commotion gets bigger, another Titan and three dreadnoughts will enter this star area within a month." Yu Lian shrugged, still looking mocking and smiling in his face.

"So, what about the combat power you have? That dragon boat parade?" Yang Xiyi asked.

"That's a long story. But I can also make it short." Yu Lian said.

He spent ten minutes describing how he was surrounded by the imperial army and had to move to the abyss, how he listened to the broadcast from the Great Freedom City, and finally how he fought wits and courage with the ancient ghost ship and Queen Tomitelli.

In the end, the greatest Khan in the history of the plunderers finally lost his destiny and fell into the vast sea of ​​stars in the abyss, but the relic of the Enlightened One that she had been looking for in her last life was still revived. However, it fell into Yu Lian's hands.

Now, it can be confirmed that the people on Earth have in their hands the most powerful space vehicle in the history of this generation of civilization, no doubt about it!

Even the spectacular snake cave seemed like a crude, defective product compared to the Silence.

Yu Lian added: "There are too many amazing black technologies on the ship. It can be said that the entire ship is a scientific temple. I have asked the scientific department to organize their exploration results as much as possible. I have packaged everyone's reports and the file package is being sent. Please receive it at the Red Star Institute. Have they all evacuated?"

"Everyone, everyone has withdrawn." Mr. Qi said. The amount of information just now was too much, which was a bit beyond the old man's acceptance range. His brain was overloaded and finally became a repeater.

Yang Xiyi was much calmer. Although he was shocked, at least he could still ask questions.

Yu Lian then talked about his connection with the Great Freedom City and the whole story of the intelligence station he had casually established in that free port.

"The Intelligence Station is directly responsible to me... and the Pioneer Party." Yu Lian glanced at Teacher Yang meaningfully, and then said to Mr. Qi:
"I'm away fighting now, and I may lose contact at any time. He should be able to contact you."

Mr. Qi's eyes widened, and he regained some of his ability to think: "Well, that means I, a mere scholar, have to be the head of a spy?"

"You are the chairman of the National Defense Committee, and your job includes the function of spy chief. However, the external communications of the Great Freedom City are limited, and security issues must also be considered. Colonel Singh should choose gravitational waves, which is safer but more time-consuming. He may even have to use a courier to send the express."

Mr. Qi continued to nod, and after a long while he sighed, "Is this good fortune? Is it the time for heaven and earth to work together?"

Yu Lian then explained the reason why he returned to the Empire. Now that he had received the news of the commerce-breaking fleet, he could not stand by and watch them die.

As for the subsequent encounter with the "alien insects" and the rebels, that is a story for later.

"What a magnificent and beautiful journey." Mr. Qi sighed. He really didn't know how to comment on the impact of this incident in the way of a politician, so he could only express some feelings like a literati.

"Are you in the mood for poetry?"

"It's a pity that my 'Legend of the Cosmic Heroes' has also been completed." Mr. Qi said: "If I didn't have so many worldly affairs to deal with now, maybe I could update a sequel."

"That's a pity. Including the Emperor of the Heaven Realm, there are at least 8000 billion people in the universe waiting for your extra chapter update." Yang Xiyi also said. Given his personality, this might not be flattery.

He then said to Yu Lian: "So, you have confirmed that most of our prisoners of war after the Battle of Miracle Ring are in Tiejia? So you decided to rescue them?"

Yu Lian nodded: "At least there are more than 30,000 people, including Major General Watt Lar and some of my old subordinates. My ship is amazing, and it can still accommodate 30,000 more people."

"But you should be more rational and cruel. When you obtained this Enlightened warship, you should have returned to your country immediately."

Yu Lian nodded, but then shook his head: "It's definitely a utilitarian consideration, yes. But who can say that cruelty is necessarily rational?"

Yang Xiyi smiled and said, "I totally agree. And since it's you, and since you dare to do this, you must be sure of breaking out of the encirclement."

Yu Lian thought about it seriously and said, "I think I'm at least 50% to 60% sure."

"That's enough."
