Chapter 353: The Journey to Expedition: The Story of the Fantasy Dream

Pale lighting lights are constantly flashing in the corridor. The incandescent lights are in the long glass windows placed at the top of the corridor. The white lights cast the shadows of walking people on the wall. They may be large or small, just like They walked past the wall like paper figures in a shadow puppet show.

The leading shadow among them was wearing a thick and huge armor. The power armor accompanied his every step, and in the empty corridor, there were bursts of stepping sounds, and the heavy boots of the power armor stepped on the battleship corridor. The dull sound of footsteps echoed again and again on the marble floor.

With every step, the sound spread along the entire empty corridor and through all the surrounding passages, making the sound become long and dull in the echo.

Vito knew that this was not because his footsteps were too heavy, but because it was completely silent and there was no one there. This was not an adjective, but a description of the reality.

From the time he boarded the ship to the present, Vito relies on his knowledge of the Emperor's Dream. Even if tens of thousands of years have passed, he can still remember every corridor and passage here, especially the main trunk that he has walked through thousands of times in the past. 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 battleship were arranged along the long avenue leading to the bridge, and were arranged on the upper central axis of the entire battleship, and it was close to It is the starting point of the rail train, which makes this place always lively on weekdays. Crew members coming and going walk through the avenue and go to other parts of the battleship through the corridors and arches.

But now, the place is completely silent. When Vito walked from the landing deck to the time he crossed the Shining Avenue, Vito did not see anyone. The place was completely silent and deserted, like an abandoned ship. 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 in precise sentences.

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

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

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 side by side with him.

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

Vito looked at Peter beside him, who, like Lilith, was walking side by side with Vito. He glanced at the completely dark terminal screen on one side, and then slowly spoke after a long silence, "The current situation on the ship is The system could not be started, so most of the crew members disembarked and went to live in the settlement below. Only the captain and a few maintenance personnel stayed above to check and clean the equipment from time to time. "

"You mean, the battleship was almost abandoned?" Vito asked with a frown, and Peter beside him nodded after some silence.

"But why? You left the living 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 automated self-sustaining system of the entire ship ,Why?"

"I think Captain Reyna will give you a more appropriate and clear answer than me." Peter said and stopped. He stood in the large corridor and passed the statues lined up on both sides. He looked at the golden door that was open in front of him.

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

Peter looked at Vito beside him. He didn't say anything, but just stepped towards the door. Lilith behind him rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, walking past Peter. The colonel watched as he walked past. He passed the silver-haired lady who followed Vito. He looked at Lilith's unhappy back and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Is she" "jealous? Yes."

The tall red giant walked past Peter and spoke softly as he passed Peter. He took broad steps to keep up with Vito and Lilith. Peter glanced at Lilith again and shrugged, "Well, the marshal's women are always very strong, at least this hasn't changed."

Peter followed, and he followed the three of them towards the door. Among them, Vito was the fastest. He was wearing a power armor and strode towards the door that was so close. It seems that the bridge gate is far away in the horizon.

His footsteps hit the ground again and again, and the surrounding statues quickly passed by him in the light. The statues that were almost turned into afterimages due to his fast footsteps seemed to form a series of pictures. In the picture, Vito recalled many things. It was a woman's voice. Her laughter, speaking voice, and even her voice when she was angry all passed by along with the flashing pictures.

Vito's eyes seemed to flash past the black hair, feeling the feeling of the hair brushing against his cheek in his memory. He smelled the unique light fragrance. Vito quickened his pace and hurried to the gate in the distance, as if the gate that had been waiting for him for ten thousand years would escape and disappear in the next moment.

He walked quickly towards the door frame. When Vito stretched out his hand and touched the border of the gate, his eyes suddenly flashed with Reina's appearance. It was clear that in his memory, Reina turned her head on the bridge, and her black hair flew around as her head turned.

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

Young Reina stood in the light of the display screen, the dazzling light reflected behind her, as if she was swallowed up in it, like an angel descending to the earth, but suddenly the light disappeared, all 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 of his hands on the door frame on one side, and he stared at Reina who was gradually changing with the flash of light.

She stood in front of the silent holographic platform of the bridge. The only few lights on the bridge shone a striking light on Reina's head. White hair had grown out of her black hair, and some black hair turned white from the end, generally turning into snow-white hair.

The delicate face that was once like porcelain also showed a yellowing color, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes on her beautiful face. She was still beautiful, and her well-proportioned face was like a perfect statue as it was back then, just like the statues of angels outside.

But Reina is really old. Wrinkles have grown on her forehead and corners of her eyes, and her green eyes are also covered with a layer of gray. Vito stood at the door and looked at her, looking at Reina who was a few steps away. There was also a young woman next to her. She stood beside Reina with her hands behind her back and also turned her head to look at Vito who walked in.

But Vito did not look at the younger woman. Vito strode up, and the power armor stepped heavily on the floor of the bridge. After taking several steps to quickly shorten the distance with Reina, the power armor suddenly knelt down on one knee. With the sharp rotation of Vito's elbow, the entire chest of the power armor quickly slid open to both sides.

Vito got out of it in one step. He jumped out of the power armor's operating cabin and strode towards Reina after landing. The latter also walked towards Vito. The two met again in the central part of the bridge.

Reina looked at Vito in front of her. She didn't know what to do or say for a moment, but Vito hugged Reina without hesitation. Reina was hugged tightly by him. Vito held Reina's gray hair with one hand. After a few moments, tears welled up in Reina's eyes, and she also hugged Vito.

The two hugged each other in the middle of the quiet hall of the bridge. It was a hug that was long overdue. Vito hugged Reina's head tightly, his fingers immersed in her smooth hair. Vito's head stretched past Reina's ear, and he looked at Reina beside him and was silent for a while.

"Reina, tell me this is not a dream, tell me, I am not dreaming about that damn memory again." "No, this is not a dream, Vito, we are not dreaming."

Reina put her hands around Vito's back, she closed her eyes, sobbed with tears in her eyes, "I thought I would never see you again, I would never feel your embrace again, but Emperor bless, we meet again."

Listening to Reina's sobbing, Vito hugged her tighter all of a sudden. He hugged Reina tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let her go.

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 walked in from the door behind her.

"Aren't you angry? Don't you want to get involved?" Magnus asked softly at the door, and Lilith beside him rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you think I am? A greedy and extremely mistress? I won't disturb him from reuniting with his old lover." Lilith said, leaning against the door with her arms folded. Although she said so, she seemed to have no intention of going in. Magnus glanced at Lilith and smiled playfully.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that your position will be taken away?" "How is that possible?" Lilith said sarcastically. He looked at Vito's direction and sighed secretly. She leaned against the wall, shrugged and muttered in a low voice, "Old scum."

When Lilith was "self-reflecting", Vito let go of Reina in his arms. He reluctantly let go of her, but his hands were still on her shoulders. Vito looked at Reina in front of him. Although she was old, she had a unique charm. That charm seemed to be a condiment, which did not affect the beauty he brought 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 a smile on her face. She was very happy, and those tears were out of joy.

"No, ten thousand years." Vito said lightly, and Reina was stunned for a moment. After she was stunned for a while, she saw Magnus behind Vito. He also nodded slightly, seeming to confirm to Reina Same thing Vito said.

"Ten thousand years? Ten thousand years have passed outside?" Reina asked in surprise. He looked at Vito in front of him who had not aged at all. He is an immortal and can span long years without aging. But it was just an appearance. Reyna could see the signs of age in Vito's eyes, just like the wrinkles on her face.

Reina thought about that number. Ten thousand 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 been waiting for fifty years, but he had been waiting for this reunion for ten thousand years. years.

"Vito, I." Reina said and leaned into Vito's arms. The latter hugged her back and sighed softly, "It's okay. We meet again. This is enough. This time Ten thousand years is enough."

Reina nodded silently in Vito's arms, but she suddenly remembered something. Reina pushed Vito away and grabbed the clothes on his arms, "Vito, who wins the rebellion?" ?”

"Really? When our old lovers reunited, was this the first thing you thought of?" Vito said with a wry smile. Reina in front of him was stunned for a moment. She seemed to want to explain something, but Vito raised the question first. He raised his hand and put his finger on her lips, keeping her explanation silent.

Vito smiled and looked at Reyna in front of him. He stroked her face, his eyes filled with warmth that was rare in this dark universe, "I know, Reyna, we won, the empire won."

"We won? Mom, I told you we will definitely win! With the marshal here, we will definitely win!" The young girl in front of Reina and Vito suddenly said excitedly. She inherited her mother's emerald green color His eyes flashed with excitement.

She walked up and approached Vito, her eyes filled with unconcealable excitement, "We have won, and the long-cherished wish of the Empire's truth and you and the Empire must have come true! Ten thousand years have passed, and now The empire has returned to the golden age, right? Just like the story my father told me! Your and the emperor's dreams must have come true!"

The girl said happily. Vito looked at her and didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to tell this young girl that the true situation of the empire outside was now turning into the deepest nightmare.

Vito looked at the young girl in front of him. She was different from Reina. She had a tall ponytail and long hair hanging down behind her head. She was wearing a navy blue shirt. The white tail is deeply tucked into the pants, showing off the proud breasts vividly and delicately.

Vito tilted his head slightly and looked at the girl's body subconsciously. Her figure looked very even and perfect, just like her mother's golden ratio. All the buttons on her straight chest were tightly buttoned. The discipline button up to the neck is also buttoned, looking very strict and disciplined.

"Vito, can you take your eyes away from my daughter's breasts?" Reina leaned into Vito's arms, raised her head and said mockingly, and Vito smiled and looked back at his arms. Reina, he cleared his throat, put one hand around Reina's waist, and held the other hand behind his back solemnly.

"Occupational disease, is this your daughter?" Vito asked in surprise. Reina in his arms held her arms and turned to look at the little girl aside.

"Her name is Yeta, mine."

"Second Lieutenant Yeta von Stauffenberg, the trainee first mate and adjutant of Captain Raina!" Yeta said loudly. She put on her feet and put the high military boots with her trouser legs in them and suddenly hit them. Together, they looked up and saluted Vito after a loud crash.

When she saluted, the part on her chest trembled with her arms. Vito was immediately attracted, slightly sticking his head out to look at that part, and then Reina patted her head and took it away with a smile.

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

Vito recalled it in his mind, and sure enough, he quickly recalled Stauffenberg, who was his adjutant for a period of time during the Great Expedition, helping him deal with various troubles with the Terran bureaucracy. Boring documents or inquiries, etc., he is very good at these tasks. After all, he is also a member of the most famous family on Terra.

The Stauffenberg family once stood firmly on the side of the Emperor in the Europa region during the Terra Unification War, assisting the Emperor in unifying Europe in the shortest time. Their family members were already famous for this at that time. Now, the Stauffenberg family is also one of the top noble families in Terra. Even the high lords have to give them some respect.

At that time, the son of the Stauffenberg family was sent to Vito as an adjutant by his father. He wanted to train his eldest son, and 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 he listened to too many embellished stories about his father and ancestors. The young Stauffenberg admired Vito very much and almost regarded him as an idol.

He always regards Vito's words and deeds as his own standards, learning from role models and so on, trying his best to imitate and learn from Vito in all aspects, and even uses a data pad to record all Vito's words and deeds, making Vito Thomas was often very embarrassed at the time, but he also got to know Stauffenberg very well. He was an excellent man.

"Wow, he is a nice guy. He is lucky to have a beautiful wife and an equally beautiful daughter. This guy is much luckier than me." Vito smiled and hugged Reina tightly, who said Rolling her eyes and smiling, she tilted her head slightly and looked over Vito's shoulder to see Lilith leaning against the door.

"Come on, haven't you found such a beautiful new girlfriend? By the way, aren't you afraid of her being jealous now?"

Vito turned his head and glanced at Lilith who was smiling slightly at the door. His eyebrows raised. He couldn't figure out for a time whether Lilith was simply saying hello or warning him that it was almost done and it was time to let go. If he dared to do it in front of her, Kiss Reyna, she will definitely make Vito regret it, etc.

Although he couldn't figure out what Lilith meant, Vito relied on his 10,000 years of experience with her and still chose to silently let go of Reina. He cleared his throat awkwardly and looked at Yeta to the side with a smile.

The latter immediately raised her head when Vito looked over. She stood straight to the side. This made Vito suddenly seem to see the shadow of Stauffenberg, "She can't"

"You know, Stauffenberg always told her all kinds of stories and deeds about you, so like her father, she regarded you as an idol, a legendary figure." Reina smiled mockingly, Wei Toze also helplessly held his forehead and laughed. He turned his head and looked at Reina to the side.

"Where's Stauffenberg? 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, right?" Vito smiled. Ye Ta glanced to the side and said, to be honest, that boy really didn't suffer at all. He had such a beautiful wife and an equally beautiful daughter, that lucky brat.

Although Vito still doesn't know whether he is cheating on himself or whether he should be angry or something, but, seriously, is Vito still qualified to be angry on the grounds of "being cheated"? Look at his bunch of girls, I guess he is the least qualified person in the universe to say this.

"He passed away. He was sacrificed in an Eldar raid more than ten years ago. He was buried with the graves of other crew members." Reina said softly. After Vito was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Raina on one side.

"I'm sorry, Reyna, me." "It's okay, Vito, it's been a long time, and it might be even longer if you think about it."

Vito looked at Reina who had her arms folded. She looked at Vito slightly sadly, but quickly shook her head to suppress the sadness, "Today is a happy day, don't talk about these sad things." It’s over.”

Vito nodded slightly, looked at Yeta on the side with a smile, and put a hand on her shoulder, "You are the daughter of Reina and Stauffenberg, and you are also my daughter. I am very happy. Meet you, Yeta.”

"It's my pleasure! Marshal!" Yeta said with his head held high and his chest raised in a literal sense. Vito looked at the twitching chest and covered his mouth in embarrassment before clearing his throat.

"Okay, call me Vito. Don't call me a marshal. Think of me as your godfather or something." "I obey, Mr. Yuan Vito!"

Vito looked at Yeta with a wry smile. She probably had to get used to it. After patting her shoulder, Vito looked at Reina, "How did you get here? I found you after the defense of Terra. For centuries, damn, I've searched the entire Sol Sector and even the Warp, but I can't figure it out. How are you in the Webway?"

Reina stood on the side with her hands behind her back. She was wearing the blue navy captain's coat, standing next to Vito in the same posture as she did back then. Suddenly, Vito seemed to have returned to that time, but he also It was very clear that this meant that Raina was about to start a formal report.

Vito also turned around, cleared his throat, and nodded slightly to her, "Let's get started, Captain Reyna."

Vito is certain that Reina must have been preparing for this report for a long time, so Peter said that it is most appropriate for Reina to tell him. Reina knows very well that those issues are of concern to her, and those issues can be wasted time by not reporting them. of.

"When the Emperor's Dream went to perform the cover mission you assigned us, in order to cover the Dark Angels' breakout fleet heading to Terra and throw off the pursuit of the Iron Warriors, I ordered the entire ship to cancel its stealth state and attract the Iron Warriors to leave. Solar System Battlefield.”

"We successfully attracted the traitors to leave Jupiter, and then conducted an emergency subspace jump. In order to avoid being involved in the subspace storm and being destroyed, I ordered a short jump and successfully jumped out of the solar system, but just when we thought we were free The pursuers successfully completed the cover mission and were about to return home, when the Iron Warriors suddenly jumped out of the subspace, and they chased us with several ships."

Generally speaking, the destination and route of an emergency subspace jump cannot be detected. It is a very efficient and reliable way to escape from the battlefield. There was no problem with what Reina did at the time. Under normal circumstances, it would be Yes, but unfortunately the Warp Storm was in full swing at that time, and the power of Chaos and its minions invaded the galaxy.

This allows the traitors to accurately capture the jump beacon through the power of Chaos and launch a precise pursuit. And with Vito's understanding of the Iron Warriors, when their interception mission against the Dark Angels fails, they will definitely return empty-handed. He will be executed by Perturabo. That guy has no sympathy. Even for his descendants, he is notoriously strict.

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

Reina clasped her hands behind her back and looked at Vito with her wrinkled eyes with her green eyes. Yeta beside her also clasped her hands behind her back. Both mother and daughter stood in front of Vito solemnly, which made Vito On the contrary, I am not used to it.

"The Iron Warriors fleet pursued us and fought hard against us. I ordered the Dream to kill several of their ships, but in the end it was unable to withstand the siege of an entire squadron, but just when the energy shield was about to be breached , when the assault fleet of the Iron Warriors was about to rush to the hull and launch a large-scale gang jump, I received a communication. "

"Communication? Whose?" Vito raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Reina nodded. Her white bangs hung in front of her eyes, and she looked at Vito through the gaps between the hair bundles.

"A man named Aedarad forcibly accessed the communication channel through an unknown method. He did not show his face, perhaps because the emergency access failed to image, but he told me a coordinate point in Gothic. Let me jump wherever I go and I will find reinforcements."

"So, you did what you did?" "I had no choice at the time, Vito. If you stayed, you would definitely die. There was no loss anyway if you tried hard, so yes, I made the first mate jump according to that coordinate point. "

"So, have you found reinforcements over there?" Vito asked with his arms folded, thinking about what Eldarad was doing at that time, and why he had never mentioned to himself in ten thousand years that he Did you help Reina at that time?

Reina shrugged, looking a little helpless, "There is indeed chaos there, but it doesn't count as our allies. After we made another short jump, we ran into a weapon as soon as we jumped out of the subspace tunnel. The Dark Eldar pirate fleet and the Iron Warriors fleet that arrived behind us also collided with the Eldar pirates."

Dark Eldar pirates? Well, in true Adarad style, Vito smiled wryly and nodded to Reina, gesturing for her to continue, and the latter nodded and continued.

"The Iron Warriors and the Eldar pirate fleet collided and were bloody. Both sides immediately fought together. During the fierce battle between the fleets of both sides, I discovered that on the battlefield, a wounded Eldar ship opened a We were at the entrance of the Webway, preparing to make an emergency jump to escape from the battlefield. I was originally planning to go to an open area and make a subspace jump to escape in the chaos, but as soon as we were about to set off, we were targeted by two Iron Warriors strike cruisers. "

"They launched an artillery attack on us from behind. As you know, Vito, if we want to make a subspace jump, we must lower the energy shield and then raise the Geller Stand Shield, which means we will take off all protection. Running completely naked under the gunfire, we would be broken into pieces in the blink of an eye, so I chose a dead horse to be a live horse doctor. "

"Since we can't make a subspace jump, we can use the Eldar gate to escape. I immediately ordered the entire ship to speed up and sprint towards the Webway, rushing into the Webway ahead of the Eldar warships and escaping from the battlefield. But the Iron Warriors obviously also discovered They knew my plan, so they launched a series of jump gang landings against us."

"Although most of the landing pods were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire because they were too far away, there was still one landing pod that had some bad luck. Since it successfully passed through the artillery fire, it crashed directly into the Dream."

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

"Although the Iron Warriors Ground Jumpers were quickly wiped out by Colonel Peter and his Sun Auxiliary Army, they still managed to break into a control room before being annihilated and inject a string of electronic demon viruses into the dream. The electronic demon quickly invaded the system of the "Dream" and broke through the firewall in order to seize control of the Dream. "

"But fortunately we had already passed through the webway, and the Eldar warship behind us was sunk and exploded, so the gate to the webway was immediately closed. The pursuers outside were left behind, but the electronic demons followed along. Each section of the system has invaded the master control protocol. In order to prevent the Dream from being captured by the virus, I ordered the energy system to be forcibly cut off, and the electronic devil was trapped in the system section by physical closure. "

"Then, you crashed?" Vito held his arms and looked at Reina with a wry smile, who also shrugged with a wry smile, "Yes, we crash-landed on this webway planet, and when we crashed, the electrons The demon also tried to forcefully restart the energy system, and when it finally forcibly cut off the energy, its counterattack caused the thruster to overload. Several jets in the Dream's propulsion array were overloaded and burned, and then we crashed here."

"The No. 2, No. 5, and No. 7 jets of the propulsion engine are damaged, and the thrust is insufficient to take off. In addition, the electronic demon has invaded the main control system. Once we restart the system and prepare for takeoff, the virus will quickly seize the entire ship, so we have kept the system in a closed state, unable to use and activate the STC casting line to produce parts to repair the damage to the entire ship, and the communication system cannot be activated."

This paragraph of the answer was not completed by Reina, but by his daughter Yeta, who is now Vito's goddaughter. Obviously, Yeta is already familiar with this part. She can't wait to report to Vito, eager to prove the meaning of her existence to Vito.

It's exactly the same as his father Stauffenberg. He was the same back then, rushing to report to himself, regardless of grabbing other people's work.

Vito turned his head and looked at Reina, who looked at his daughter and shrugged slightly. He didn't intend to compete with Yeta for this job, so he just let him perform well in front of Vito.

"Go on." Vito smiled and nodded to Yeta, which made Yeta even more excited. She cleared her throat, quickly organized the report language and continued to speak.

"Because of the existence of the electronic demon, the Fantasy Dream has been in a state of shutdown and downtime. We lack the means to eliminate the electronic demon." Yeta said, and Peter beside Vito also looked over. He raised a hand and waved it in front of him.

"The Mechanicus tried to clean it up, but either their brains exploded after they were connected, or they were driven crazy on the spot, and then they had to be shot before they caused more damage."

"Yes, Captain Vito! Because of this, most of the life systems on the ship are in a shutdown state, and many decks cannot be opened because of the shutdown of the system, so most people have moved off the ship to live. Only the captain and I, as well as a few people, will return to the ship to maintain the accessible equipment, so that the ship system can be restarted at any time in the future."

Vito nodded slightly He touched his chin thoughtfully, "I saw you restarted the reactor and the lighting system, right?"

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

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

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with that electronic demon." "Method? What method?" Reina asked in surprise, and Vito laughed mysteriously.

"You don't need to know, but believe me, I can solve that thing, and then you can restart the system and use the STC automatic production line to complete the repair."

"It's not that simple, sir." Yeta interrupted, she walked up and looked at Vito, the admiration in her eyes still hanging in her eyes.

"Even if we can restart the STC production line, we still lack raw materials. The damaged parts of the entire ship now require a large amount of high-quality raw materials, such as refined iron ore, nebula alloy, etc., and these things are difficult to find on the planets under our feet."

Peter nodded in approval. He looked at Vito and shrugged, "This is a very marginal webway planet. The Eldar don't like to come here very much. Only occasionally some predator war gangs will stay here for a short time, and then set sail again to a base somewhere after resting. Although this makes us relatively safe here, it also makes us unable to obtain any raw materials."

Vito nodded after listening to their words. He smiled after thinking for a moment. He looked at the three people around him and nodded affirmatively, "I believe we can all handle it. I promise to take you away from here and return to the empire."

Reina and Peter looked at each other, and then they all nodded to express 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 believe every word he said without hesitation.

"Well, now that I know the situation, can I leave this wreck?" Lilith behind Vito leaned against the door and suddenly spoke. Vito turned his head to look at Lilith at the door, her face full of indifference.

Vito smiled bitterly, she glanced at Reina on the side and looked at Lilith awkwardly, "Well, I...can I come to you later? Chat with old friends or something."

Lilith rolled her eyes, turned around and waved and walked away, "Okay, I won't disturb you and your old lover's reunion. When you're done, come and find me."

Vito looked at Lilith who was going away with a bitter smile on his face. He looked at Magnus and nodded to him. The Red Giant responded slightly and then walked out of the bridge. The last one to leave was Peter. He saluted Vito and left.

Only Yeta hadn't left yet. He stood beside Vito, and didn't seem to want to leave his idol at all. Reina walked up and touched her daughter's head with a smile, "Okay, let me be alone with the Marshal for a while, okay?"

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

Vito looked at Yeta who was nervous in front of him, and he laughed, "Do me a favor, okay? Keep an eye on Lily, don't let her get angry and chop anyone or smash anything, and then I will have a good chat with you, can you do it?"

"I promise to complete the mission!" Yeta said loudly without hesitation. Vito smiled and raised his head to the side, "Then go."

After saluting Vito, Yeta strode to the exit of the bridge. Vito looked at Yeta's back as he walked away. His hand silently raised and hugged Reina's waist, "Wow, now we have time together. Do you know where to date?"

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

"Well, that's the best. There are some things in the Empire. I have to tell you slowly."
