Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 353 The Road to Expedition: The Story of the Mirage

Pale white lights flickered constantly in the corridor. The incandescent lamps were placed in the long glass windows at the top of the corridor. The white lights cast shadows on the walls as they passed by. They were big or small, like Like the paper figures in the shadow play, they walked past the wall.

The shadow of the leader is wearing a thick and huge armor. The power armor accompanies his every step, and in the empty corridor, there is a sound of stepping, and the heavy boots of the power armor are stepping on the warship corridor. On the marble floor, again and again, dull footsteps echoed.

With each step, the sound spreads along the entire empty corridor, and spreads through all the surrounding passages, which makes the sound long and dull in the echo.

Vito knew that it wasn't because he was stepping too hard, but because it was completely silent and no one was there. This was not an adjective, but a description of the reality.

From boarding the ship to now, with his knowledge of the Emperor's Dream, Vito still remembers every corridor and passage here, especially the trunks that he has traveled thousands of times in the past, even after ten thousand years. Road, the glorious avenue leading to the bridge.

In Vito's memory, that avenue was always lively and noisy. The important departments of the entire warship were arranged along the long avenue leading to the bridge, and arranged on the central axis of the entire upper deck of the warship, and it was close to The starting point of the orbital train, which makes it always lively here on weekdays, and the sailors who come and go walk through the avenue, through the corridors and arches to go to other places on the battleship.

But now, there is complete silence here. When Vito stepped on the landing deck, and then went through the whole process of his crossing the Avenue of Glorious, Vito saw no one. It was completely silent and no one was here, like an abandoned ship. 's battleship.

"Even the cemetery is more alive than here, isn't it?" Lilith walked briskly beside Vito with her hands behind her back, summarizing the situation here with precise sentences.

Vito glanced at Lilith on the side, and then looked around the corridor with only one light. Although the lights were still bright, they made the place even more terrifying. The illusion of complete silence, coupled with the surrounding lights Silent statue illuminated below.

Those statues are still exquisite and holy, but the statues of angels and saints, in a completely dead environment, accompanied by footsteps and lights, have a strong uncanny valley effect, and their godless eyes stare at the people walking in the corridor. Everyone watched silently and silently.

Everything here makes this place more like a corridor in a horror story. Vito glanced at everything around him, and then looked at Peter, who was walking beside him.

"What happened here? Why is there not a single crew member left behind, and not only that, all equipment is turned off, and the gate is either always open in advance, or completely closed."

Vito looked at Peter beside him, who, like Lilith, walked side by side with Vito, he glanced at the terminal screen that was completely dark on one side, and then slowly spoke after a long silence, "The current The system failed to activate, so most of the crew disembarked and went to live in the settlements below, with only the captain and a few maintainers, who stayed there from time to time to check and clean equipment."

"You mean, the battleship is almost abandoned?" Vito asked, frowning, and Peter beside him nodded after a moment of silence.

"But why? You left the survival space of the battleship and went to live on the surface, but why did this happen? You gave up the iron wall composed of the safe battleship armor, the industrial production of the STC automatic manufacturing production line, and the self-sustaining system of the whole ship automation. ,why?"

"I think Captain Lena will give you one, which is more appropriate and clearer than me." Peter stopped as he spoke. He stood in the wide corridor and crossed the statues lined up on both sides. He looked at the golden door that opened in front of him.

Vito also stopped, he looked at the door silently, Peter beside him sighed softly, "She's been waiting for you there, fifty years."

Peter looked at Vito beside him, he didn't say anything, just walked towards the gate, Lilith behind him rolled his eyes, hugged his arms, walked past Peter, the colonel watched as he walked by After the silver-haired lady who followed Vito, he raised his eyebrows slightly at Lilith's unhappy back.

"She is" "Jealous? Yes."

The tall red giant who walked past Peter said softly as he passed by Peter. He followed the footsteps of Vito and Lilith with wide steps. Peter glanced at Lilith again and shrugged. "Well, the women of the marshal are always good and strong, at least that hasn't changed."

Peter followed, he followed behind the three to the gate, and among them, Vito walked the fastest, wearing a power armor, striding towards the door, and then again. It seems that the gate of the bridge is far in the sky.

His footsteps stomped on the ground again and again, and the surrounding statues swept past him quickly in the light. Those statues that almost turned into afterimages due to his fast footsteps seemed to form a picture The picture, in which Vito recalled many things, it was the voice of a woman, her laughter and voice, even her voice when she was angry, passed by those flashing pictures.

Vito's eyes seemed to flash the jet-black hair, feeling the feeling of the hair brushing his cheeks in the memory, he smelled the unique faint fragrance, Vito quickened his pace, he took the time to walk towards the distant place. The gate, it seems that the gate that has been waiting for him for ten thousand years will escape and disappear in the next moment.

He walked quickly to the door frame, and when Vito reached out his hand and touched the border of the door, Reina suddenly flashed before his eyes, that clear, in his memory, Reina turned her head on the bridge , the black hair fluttered around as the head turned.

The green eyes that were the same as in the memory stopped like a frozen image. Vito looked at those green eyes. He saw Lena, her white porcelain skin was like the first snow, and her short black hair fell in front of her. Vito looked at Reina standing in the bridge, and the circle of holographic screens behind her were shining.

The young Lena stood in the light of the display screen, the dazzling light reflected behind her, as if engulfing her whole body, like an angel who came into the world, but suddenly those lights disappeared, all ships The shining lights in the bridge disappeared, everything dimmed, and the images in the sea of ​​memory gradually overlapped with reality.

Vito stood at the gate, one hand on the side of the door frame, and he stared at Reina, who was gradually changing with the flash of light.

She stood in front of the silent holographic platform on the bridge. The only lights on the bridge were shining brightly on Lena's head. White hairs had grown out of the jet-black hair. , and some black hair is bleached from the ends, generally turning into snow-white tresses.

The delicate face that used to be like porcelain also had a yellowish color. Her beautiful face had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was still beautiful, and her bumpy face was like a perfect statue. Like the statues of the angels outside.

But Lena was really old, her forehead and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, and her green eyes had a grayish tint. Vito stood at the door and looked at her, at the man who was a few steps away. Reina, there was a young woman beside her. She stood beside Reina with her hands behind her back, and also turned her head to look at Vito who was walking in.

But Vito didn't look at the younger woman, Vito strode up, the power armor stepped heavily on the floor of the bridge, and after taking several steps to quickly shorten the distance with Rena, the power armor hit Zi knelt down on one knee, and with Vito's elbow turning sharply, the chest of the entire power armor quickly slid open to the sides.

Vito escaped from it with a single stride. He jumped out of the power armor's operating compartment, and after landing, he strode towards Reina, who also walked towards Vito, and the two reunited in the central part of the bridge.

Reina looked at Vito in front of her. She didn't know what to do or say something, but Vito hugged Reina without any hesitation. Reina was hugged tightly by him. One hand held Reina's gray hair, and after a while, Reina's eyes also filled with tears, and she also hugged Vito.

The two embraced in the middle of the silent hall on the bridge. It was a long, long-overdue hug. Vito hugged Reina's head tightly, his fingers digging into his smooth, watery hair. Na's ear stretched out, and he looked at Lena beside him and was silent for a while.

"Rena, tell me this isn't a dream, tell me, I'm not having that damn memory dream again." "No, it's not a dream, Vito, we're not dreaming."

Lena's hands were wrapped around Vito's back, and she closed her eyes, whimpering with tears in the corners of her eyes, "I thought I would never see you again, I would never feel your embrace again, but God. God bless us, we meet again."

Hearing Reina whimpering, Vito suddenly hugged her tighter with a crying voice. He hugged Reina tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear when she let go of her.

Behind Vito, Lilith walked into the bridge. As soon as she came in, she saw a touching scene. Lilith stopped at the door. When she looked at the scene in front of her, Magnus passed from behind her. came in from outside the door.

"Aren't you angry? Why don't you step in?" Magnus asked softly, standing at the door, while Lilith, who was beside him, rolled his eyes at him.

"What do you think I am? Greedy and extreme mistress? I won't disturb his reunion with his old lover." Lilith said, leaning against the door with her arms in her arms. Although she said that, she didn't seem to go in at all. The plan, Magnus glanced at Lilith, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong? Worried about being robbed of your position?" "How is that possible." Lilith said sarcastically, he looked in Vito's direction but sighed secretly, she leaned against the wall and shrugged and muttered in a low voice , "Old scumbag."

When Lilith was "feeling", Vito let go of Reina in his arms, he let go of him reluctantly, but his hands were still on her shoulders, Vito looked at Reina in front of him , Although she is old, she has a unique charm, which seems to be a kind of condiment, which does not affect the beauty he brings to people at all.

"How long have we not seen each other, Vito, fifty years? Or sixty years?" Raina said with tears in her eyes, but with a smile on her face, she was very happy, and the tears were of joy.

"No, [-] years." Vito said lightly, while Reina was stunned for a moment. After she was sluggish for a while, she saw Magnus behind Vito, and he nodded slightly, as if confirming to Reina. Vito said the same thing.

"[-] years? It's been [-] years outside?" Lena asked in surprise. He looked at Vito who was not getting old at all. He was an immortal who could span long years without getting old. But that's just the surface, Reina can see the signs of the years in Vito's eyes, like wrinkles on her face.

Lena thought about the number, [-] years, she could hardly understand what that number meant, she raised her head and looked at the smiling man in front of her, she had waited fifty years, but he was waiting for this reunion for [-] years.

"Vito, I." Reina said and leaned into Vito's arms, the latter hugged her back and sighed softly, "It's alright, we meet again, that's enough, this one Ten thousand years is enough."

Reina nodded silently in Vito's arms, but she suddenly remembered something, Reina pushed away the clothes that Vito was holding on his arms, "Vito, rebellion, who won ?"

"Really? When our old lovers meet again, this is the first thing you think of?" Vito said with a wry smile, while Lena in front of him was stunned for a moment. She seemed to want to explain something, but Vito said it first. He started to put his fingers on her lips, keeping her explanation silent.

Vito smiled and looked at Reina in front of him, he stroked her face, his eyes were full of tenderness that is rare in this dark universe, "I know, Reina, we won, the empire won."

"We won? Mom, I told you that we will definitely win! With the marshal here, we will definitely win!" The young girl in front of Rena and Vito said suddenly excitedly, she inherited her mother's emerald green There was excitement in his eyes.

She came up and approached Vito's side, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement, "We have won the battle, and the truth of the empire and your long-cherished wish for the empire must have come true! Ten thousand years have passed, now The Empire has returned to its golden age, isn't it? Just like the story Dad told me! You and the Emperor's dream must have come true!"

The girl said with joy, Vito looked at her and didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to tell this young girl that the real situation of the empire outside now, that beautiful dream, had turned into the deepest nightmare.

Vito looked at the young girl in front of her. She was different from Reina. She had a tall ponytail and long hair hanging down at the back of her head. On her body, she was wearing a navy blue shirt. The white tail was deeply tucked into the trousers, showing the proud twin peaks drippingly and delicately.

Vito tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl's body subconsciously. Her figure looked very uniform and perfect, just like her mother's golden ratio. All the buttons on the tall and straight chest were tightly buttoned. All the way to the neck is also buckled, it looks very strict and abiding by the rules.

"Vito, can you take your eyes off my daughter's chest?" Lena leaned against Vito's arms, raised her head and said mockingly, Vito smiled and turned his eyes back into his arms Reina, he cleared his throat, put one arm around Reina's waist, and put the other hand on his back solemnly.

"Occupational disease, is this your daughter?" Vito asked in surprise, while Lena in his arms hugged her arms and turned to look at the little girl on the side.

"Her name is Yeta, mine"

"Second Lieutenant Yeta von Stauffenberg, mother Captain Lena's cadet mate and adjutant!" Yeta exclaimed. She put on her feet and slammed the tall military boots with her trouser legs into them. Together, they bowed their heads and saluted Vito after the loud crash.

When she saluted, the part of her chest trembled with her arm. Vito was immediately attracted to it, slightly stuck her head out to look at that part, and then was patted on the head by Reina and put it away with a smile.

"Stuffenberg? You're married." "Klaus von Stauffenberg, do you remember? He was your adjutant and then my fleet chief."

Vito recalled it in his mind, and sure enough, he quickly recalled Stauffenberg, who was his adjutant for a while during the Great Crusade, helping him deal with all kinds of troubles with Terra's bureaucracy, Boring documents or inquiries, he's good at it, after all he's a member of the most famous family on Terra himself.

The Stauffenberg family once stood firmly on the Emperor's side in the Europa region during the War of Unification of Terra, helping the Emperor to unify Europe in the shortest possible time. Its family members were already famous for this at that time, and they were very famous. First to the present, the Stauffenberg family is also one of the top noble families in Terra, the kind of big nobles that even high lords have to give them face.

At that time, the son of the Stauffenberg family was sent by his father to Vito as an adjutant. He wanted to exercise his eldest son. Vito also accepted him. He did a good job and could help many times. Vito was very busy, but there was only one small problem, perhaps because he heard too many stories about his father and grandparents, and the young Stauffenberg admired Vito so much that he almost regarded him as an idol.

He always takes Vito's words and deeds as his own criterion, learns from role models, and tries his best to imitate and learn from Vito in all aspects. Thor was often very embarrassed at the time, but he also knew Stuffenberg well because of it. He was a good man.

"Wow, he's a good guy, he's lucky to have a beautiful wife, and the same beautiful daughter, this guy is much luckier than me." Vito smiled and hugged Reina tightly in his arms, the latter said Rolling her eyes and smiling, she turned her head slightly, and saw Lilith leaning against the door over Vito's shoulder.

"Come on, didn't you find such a beautiful new girlfriend? In other words, you are not afraid of her being jealous now?"

Vito turned his head and glanced at Lilith, who was smiling slightly at the door. His eyebrows were raised. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether Lilith was simply saying hello, or if he was warning himself that it was almost done, and it was time to let go. If he dared to stand in front of her Kiss Reina, she will definitely make Vito regret it and so on.

Although he didn't know what Lilith meant, Vito chose to silently let go of Lena based on his [-] years of experience with her. He cleared his throat embarrassingly and looked at Yeta with a smile.

The latter raised her head immediately when Vito looked over, she stood straight on the side, which made Vito suddenly seem to see Stauffenberg's shadow, "She won't"

"You know, Stauffenberg always tells her all kinds of stories and deeds about you, so, like her father, she treats you as an idol, a legendary figure." Lena smiled mockingly, Victoria Toze also smiled helplessly on his forehead, and he turned his head to look at Lena on the side.

"Where's Stuffenberg? That kid, I haven't seen him for so long, and suddenly I miss him a little bit. I have to thank him for taking care of you. Wow, well, at least he didn't suffer, didn't he?" Vito smiled. Glancing at Yeta to the side, seriously, that kid really didn't suffer at all, such a beautiful wife and equally beautiful daughter, that lucky stinky boy.

Although Vito doesn't know yet, whether he is greening himself or not, should he be angry or something, but, seriously, is Vito still qualified to be angry with the reason of "greening"?Look at his bunch of girls, I guess he is the most unqualified person in the universe to say this.

"He died. He died in an Eldar raid more than ten years ago, and was buried with the graves of other crew members." Lena said softly. After Vito was stunned, he turned his head to look at him. Reina on the side.

"I'm sorry, Lena, I." "It's okay, Vito, it's been a long time, and it may be even longer when you convert it to your time."

Vito looked at Reina with her arms folded, she looked at Vito with a bit of sadness, but she quickly shook her head to suppress the sadness, "Today is a happy day, don't talk about these sadness. something happened."

Vito nodded slightly, he smiled and looked at Yeta to the side, and put a hand on her shoulder, "You are the daughter of Reina and Stauffenberg, and that is also my daughter, I am very happy I know you, Yeta."

"My honor! Marshal!" Yeta said with her head held high, literally, Vito covered his mouth awkwardly and cleared his throat when he looked at the bouncing chest.

"Okay, call me Vito, don't be a marshal, treat me as your godfather or something." "Follow your orders, Master Yuan Vito!"

Vito looked at Yeta with a wry smile. She probably had to get used to it. Vito patted her on the shoulder and looked at Reina, "How did you get here? I found you after the defense of Terra. For centuries, damn it, I've searched the entire Sun Starfield, and even went to the Warp, but I can't think of anything. How could you guys be in the net?"

Lena stood aside with her hands behind her back. She was wearing that blue navy captain's coat and stood beside Vito, just like she was back then. Suddenly, Vito seemed to be back in the past, but he also It is very clear that this means that Lena is about to start a formal report.

Vito also turned around. He cleared his throat and nodded slightly to her, "Let's start, Captain Rena."

Vito can be sure, Reina must have been preparing for this report for a long time, so Peter will say Reina to tell him the most appropriate, Reina is very clear about those issues that she cares about, and those issues can be used to waste time without reporting. of.

"When the Emperor's Dream was going to carry out the cover mission you gave us, in order to cover the Dark Angel's breakout fleet to Terra and throw off the pursuers of the Iron Warriors, I ordered the entire ship to cancel the stealth state and attract the Iron Warriors to leave. Solar system battlefield."

"We successfully attracted the traitors to leave Jupiter, and then made an emergency warp jump. In order to avoid being swept away by the warp storm and then destroyed, I ordered a short-distance jump and successfully jumped out of the solar system, but just when we thought we got rid of it Chasing soldiers, when they successfully completed the cover mission and were about to return, the Iron Warriors suddenly jumped out of the warp, and they pursued us with several ships."

Generally speaking, the destination and route of the warp emergency jump cannot be detected. It is a very efficient and reliable way to escape from the emergency battlefield. Lena did that at that time. There was no problem. Yes, but unfortunately the warp storm was in full swing and the power of Chaos and its minions invaded the galaxy.

This allows the traitors to accurately capture the warp beacon through the power of chaos, thereby launching a precise pursuit, and with Vito's knowledge of the Iron Warriors, when their interception mission to the Dark Angels fails, if they go back empty-handed absolutely Will be executed by Perturabo, that guy has no sympathy, even with his heirs, he is notoriously strict.

Therefore, the Iron Warriors have no choice. Since they have failed their main mission, they will kill the Emperor Dream no matter what, and use the victory of this secondary mission in exchange for Perturabo's satisfaction without being mercilessly punished by him. Treat it as failure.

Lena had her hands behind her back, her wrinkled eyes looked at Vito with those emerald green eyes, and Yeta, who was beside her, also had her hands behind her back. Both mother and daughter stood in front of Vito seriously, which made Vito. Instead, I'm not used to it.

"The Iron Warriors fleet launched a pursuit against us, and they were chasing us hard. I ordered the Dream to kill several of their ships, but in the end, it was unable to resist the siege of an entire squadron, but the energy shield was about to be broken. , I received a communication when the Iron Warriors' assault fleet was about to rush to the hull and initiate a mass jump."

"Communication? Whose?" Vito raised his eyebrows in surprise, while Lena nodded. She wore white silk bangs hanging in front of You, her eyes looking at Vito through the gap in her hair.

"A man named Aidarad, he forcibly connected to the communication channel by some unknown method, he did not show his face, maybe the reason why the emergency access cannot be imaged, but he told me a coordinate point in Gothic, Let me jump wherever I go, and I will find reinforcements."

"So, you did it?" "I had no choice at the time, Vito, it must be a death to stay, and there is nothing to lose anyway, so yes, I made the first mate jump over according to that coordinate point. "

"So, did you find reinforcements over there?" Vito asked with his arms in his arms, thinking about what the hell Aidalad was doing at the time, why he had never mentioned to himself that since he was Did you help Reina at the time?
Lena shrugged, looking a little helpless, "There is indeed a place of chaos, but it is not our allies. After we made another short-distance jump, we just jumped out of the warp tunnel and collided with one. The dark Eldar pirate fleet, the Iron Warrior fleet that arrived behind us, also collided with the Eldar pirates."

Dark Eldar pirates?Well, it really has the style of Adalad, Vito nodded to Reina with a wry smile, motioning her to continue, the latter nodded and continued.

"The Iron Warriors and the Eldar pirate fleet collided with blood, and the two sides immediately fought together. During the fierce battle between the two fleets, I found that on the battlefield, a wounded Eldar ship opened its doors. At the entrance of the netway, I was preparing to make an emergency jump to escape the battlefield. I was planning to go to the open area and make a warp jump to escape, but as soon as we were about to set off, we were targeted by two Iron Warrior strike cruisers."

"They bombarded us from behind, you know Vito, if you want to make a warp jump, you have to lower the energy shield and raise the Geller stand shield, which means we will take off all protection, Running completely naked under gunfire, we'd be smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye, so I chose dead horses as living horse doctors."

"Since we can't make the warp jump, then use the gate of the Eldar to escape. I immediately ordered the entire ship to accelerate the sprint to the net, and rushed into the net in front of the Eldar battleship to escape the battlefield, but the Iron Warriors also obviously found that I had my plan, so they launched a series of jump gang landings on us."

"Although most of the landing pods were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire because of the distance, one of the landing pods did not know what kind of shit luck had gone through. Since it successfully passed through the artillery fire, it smashed directly into the Dream."

Reina said and looked at Peter who came up behind Vito. The commander of the Sun Army was standing beside Vito with his gun on his back and his hands on his back. Reina looked at Peter and nodded and looked back at Vito. .

"Although the Iron Warriors' jumping gang was quickly wiped out by Colonel Peter and his Sun Auxiliary Army, they managed to break into a control room before they were wiped out, injecting a string of electronic demon viruses into the dream. The system of the ship, the electronic demon quickly invaded the system, broke through the firewall and planned to seize control of the Dream."

"But fortunately, we had already crossed the netway at the time, and the Eldar battleship behind it was also sunk and exploded, so the gate of the netway was immediately closed, and the outside chasers were left outside, but the electronic demons followed Every section of the system invaded the master control protocol, in order to prevent the Mirage from being captured by the virus, I ordered the energy system to be forcibly cut off, and the physical brakes trapped the electronic demon in the section of the system.”

"Then, you guys crashed?" Vito hugged his arms and looked at Reina with a wry smile, who also shrugged with a wry smile, "Yes, we crashed on this netway planet, and when we fell, the electronic The demon also tried to forcibly restart the power system, and when the power was cut off, its counterattack caused the thrusters to overpower, and a few jets in the Phantasm's propulsion array were overloaded and burned, and we crashed here."

"The No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] jets of the propulsion engine are damaged, and the thrust is insufficient to take off, and the electronic demon has invaded the master control system. Once we restart the system and prepare to take off, the virus will quickly seize the whole ship, so We have been shutting down the system, unable to use and activate the STC casting line, produce parts to repair the loss of the whole ship, and the communication system cannot be activated.”

The answer to this paragraph was not completed by Reina, but by his daughter Yeta, who is now Vito's goddaughter. Obviously, this part is already familiar to Yeta, and she couldn't wait to speak. Report to Vito, eager to prove to Vito the meaning of his existence.

It's exactly like his father, Stauffenberg, who was like that back then, rushing to report to himself, regardless of taking other people's lives.

Vito turned his head to look at Lena, who shrugged slightly at his daughter, and didn't intend to take Yeta's job, so let him behave well in front of Vito.

"Continue." Vito nodded to Yeta with a smile, which made Yeta even more excited. She cleared her throat and quickly organized the report language before continuing to speak.

"Because of the existence of electronic demons, the Mirage has been in a state of shutdown and downtime, and we lack the means to clear the electronic demons." Yeta said, and Peter beside Vito also looked over, he raised a hand in Waving in front of you.

"The Mechanicus tried to clean it up, but either got it in and it blew up, or was driven mad on the spot, and then had to shoot them before they could cause more damage."

"Yes, Captain Vito! Because of this, most of the living systems on the ship are shut down, and many decks cannot be opened because of the shutdown of the system, so most people have moved off the ship to live, only me and The captain, and a few others, will also return to the ship to maintain accessible equipment so that the ship's systems can be restarted at any time in the future."

Vito nodded slightly, he stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I saw you restart the reactor, and the lighting system, right?"

"Yes." Reina said, "The reactor is set with a manual switch, so we activated it manually, but because of this, we can't use the energy conversion system on the rest of the ship, so we can only build a patchwork relay station on the ground, barely using ."

"At least Moral's craftsmanship is good, the power station hasn't exploded yet." Vito laughed jokingly, he dragged his chin for a while, and then raised his head to look at Reina.

"Don't worry, I have a solution to that electronic demon." "How? What solution?" Lena asked in surprise, while Vito laughed mysteriously.

"You don't need to know, but trust me, I can fix that thing, and then you can reboot the system and use the STC automated production line to complete the repair."

"It's not that simple, sir," Yeta interjected, stepping up to look at Vito, the admiration still lingering in her eyes.

"Even if we can restart the STC production line, we still lack raw materials. Now the damaged part of the whole ship needs a lot of high-quality raw materials, such as refined iron ore, Nebula alloy, etc., and these things are difficult to find on the planet under our feet."

Peter nodded in approval, he looked at Vito and shrugged, "This is a very marginal Netdo planet, and the Eldar are not very fond of it, only occasionally some predator war gangs will stay here for a short time, after the rest Set sail again to a base somewhere, and while that keeps us relatively safe here, it also prevents us from getting any raw materials."

Vito listened to their words and nodded, he pondered for a moment and then smiled, he looked at the three people around him and nodded affirmatively, "I believe we can handle it well, I promise, I will take you out of here, back to the Empire."

Reina and Peter looked at each other, and then they both nodded their trust, and Yeta didn't hesitate at all. Even if Vito said something more outrageous, I guess his new adopted daughter and little fan would have Believe everything he says without hesitation.

"Well, now that the situation is known, can I leave this hulk?" Lilith behind Vito leaned against the door and said suddenly, Vito turned to look at Lilith at the door, her face full of expression All mean indifference.

Vito smiled wryly. She glanced at Reina, who was on the side, and looked at Lilith embarrassedly.

Lilith rolled her eyes, turned around, waved her hand, and walked away, "Okay, I won't disturb you to meet your old lover again. Come to me when you're done."

Vito looked at Lilith who was far away with a wry smile on his face. He looked at Magnus again and nodded to him. The red giant also walked out of the bridge after responding slightly. The last one left was Peter. After saluting Vito, he left.

Only Yeta hadn't left yet, he was standing beside Vito, as if he didn't want to leave her idol at all, Reina smiled and walked up to touch her daughter's head, "Okay, let the Marshal and I be alone for a while. ?"

"I won't get in your way! I promise!" Yeta explained immediately, but then Vito touched her head and Yeta's face turned as red as a red apple.

Vito looked at Yeta, who was nervous in front of him, and he burst out laughing, "Do me a favor? Go and stare at Lily, don't let her cut someone off or smash something, after that, I will Can I have a good chat with you?"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Yeta still said loudly without hesitation, Vito smiled and raised his head to the side, "Go then."

After Yeta saluted Vito, he strode to the exit of the bridge. Vito looked at Yeta's back, and raised his hand silently, wrapping his arms around Reina's waist." Wow, now that we're together, do you know any place for a date?"

Reina laughed. She leaned against Vito's arms and raised her green eyes slightly. She looked at Vito and smiled like a young girl, "I know a place where no one will bother you."

"Well, that's the best, there is something in the empire. I have to tell you slowly."
