Now that she had received the key information given by the prophet, Bernadita quickly deduced a complete chain of events:

"I have reason to believe that Russell's acquisition of the giant relic ship was not guided by the emperor at all, but reached some kind of cooperation with the star bomber. The star bomber was the real controller of the warship, and Russell was just A puppet."

"The Star Bomber has a powerful prophecy ability. He may have foreseen the occurrence of this war and the arrival of the swarm in advance. He arranged for the warship to go to the unnamed star system that had been selected long before the war occurred, so as to prepare for the future. Prepare for detonation."

"He secretly manipulated the Seeker to forcefully break through the orbital defense line and airdrop Titan troops to the battle moon, which objectively assisted our combat deployment.

But those Titans belonged to the Star Bomber after all. When he sneaked into the fortress, these ancient giants under his control immediately abandoned the Imperial troops and went to provide fire cover for their master. "

"Now we know that the swarm was attracted by Bao. After getting Bao, the star bomber immediately left Falla and lured the hive fleet into the trap system it had set before, annihilating it in one fell swoop."

"After the war, the Star Destroyer asked his puppet Russell to come forward and give us the sub-gate design of the L-Star Gate..."

There was dead silence in the conference room. Everyone was silent and listened to Bernadita's speech quietly.

"In other words, this war has been planned by the Star-Busters from the very beginning..." The Archbishop leaned back weakly on the back of his chair, his face pale.

What kind of existence is the Star Bomber?

——Precious knowledge and lost technology from the dark technological age, psychic power enough to single-handedly kill the Great Demon of Nurgle, miracles to purify Chaos with every move, strategy and brains to fully grasp the battle situation, determination to abandon the battleship to exterminate the insect swarm, and …

The act of protecting Falla and humanity at all costs.

All of this is so familiar, so familiar that even though they all know it, no one dares to say that outrageous thing.

Bernadita looked around and decided to break the deadlock herself. For her, there were too many sins to bear.

She put a hand on her chest and said:

"Based on the current information, I think the 'Starbuster' should be an ancient existence that has survived from the Dark Age of Technology to this day. He is a powerful psyker and a far-sighted wise man. He may even be an 'Immortal' .In his too long life, there may be a small possibility...that he could meet and know the Emperor."

This is the conclusion she drew based on the words and deeds of the star-shooter in the prophet's memory.

Especially the sentence "For the sake of the fact that the Emperor and I are both human beings."

Alexey nodded slightly and did not deny her statement, but said: "The authority of the Emperor drove me to come here to meet the Star-Buster, so as to obtain the L-Star Gate. If this is the will of the Lord of Humanity, Then I won’t have any problem with it.”

"At the end of the day, we never had a choice."

Milak's voice was as heavy as steel: "The person who decided to build the main gate in Falla was not Russell, but the Star Repulser. That is his will, and it will be implemented regardless of whether we agree or not."

After all, they were not strong enough to forcibly seize the main gate design from that existence.

This is something that Russell couldn't grasp, but the star flicker grasped it.

So under the pressure of the Star Destroyer, Alexei's mediation, and Bernadita's inexplicable assistance, this high-level meeting representing all the forces in Esbanese and the surrounding sectors continued for nearly a week. After a long time, the main tone was finally set.

To highlight the point, the decision to build the main L-Gate in Falla was passed.

Of course, it is not passed unconditionally.

The stable, high-speed, super-light navigation network that is not restricted by subspace brought by the L-Star Gate is certainly the dream of the human empire, but if the main gate as the central hub cannot be completely controlled by the empire, then even if the L-Star Gate network is built , human beings still cannot be said to have gained true freedom.

In addition to confirming that the main gate will be built in the Falla system, the meeting also clarified a principle: in addition to building the L-Star Gate, the Empire will still not abandon the traditional subspace engine.

There are reasons why eggs cannot be put in one basket, but also to protect the interests of Navigator and other families as much as possible.

Although doing this is like having two dog leashes tied around your neck, one being led by the evil god and the other being led by the star flicker, it still feels weird.

Is this luck or misfortune?

Alexei had no answer.

The determination of the location of the main gate forced them to make various plans for Falla. During the meeting, Russell, who was closely guarded by the battle sisters, finally gained limited freedom.

Surrounded by his sisters, he boarded the battleship HMS Penitent Fire and signed a massive agreement with the Council.

Letters flew in from all directions like snowflakes, almost drowning Russell, and he didn't know which bad guy actually allowed interstellar civilization to still retain the bad habit of paper-based office work.

What, it’s human beings themselves, that’s okay.

After the meeting, the Adeptus Mechanicus who came here with the expedition fleet was immediately divided into two.

Half of the men followed Alexei's prophetess, jumped into the subspace with a large escort fleet, and embarked on a journey back to the "Nirvana" galaxy, the capital of the star domain of Esbanese.

The swarms are gone, the ork warlords are dead, and the greenskin empire in the stars is in tatters. This reborn homecoming fleet will sweep the imperial world invaded by the orcs along the way, and finally return to Nirvana, where it will start the construction project of the L-Star Gate.

It is worth mentioning that the Homecoming Fleet took away almost all the Astartes Chapters that came here with the Martyr Legion, except for the Penitent Fire Chapter.

This powerful battle group wearing pitch-black power armor was originally the main force of the Martyrs' Legion. While it was the most powerful, it also suffered the heaviest losses because it always charged forward. Their home planet had been completely destroyed in the war with the orcs, and the Penitent Fire Chapter, which had no replenishment of soldiers, now even had its organization destroyed.

At the suggestion of Chapter Master Milak, the Council led by Alexey finally approved the Penitent Fire Chapter's request to station after fully consulting Russell.

Since then, Falla has become the new home planet of the Penitent Fire Chapter.

The reason why Russell agreed to let Milak take his brothers to station in Falla and set it as the new home planet was because he had learned from the previous communication with Milak that the genetic seeds of the Fire of Repentance Chapter were From The Lion King: Ryan El'Jonson.

They are a sub-group of the Dark Angels.

As the first legion, the Dark Angels Legion has the best gene-seed stability among the Astartes, and its ability to violently attack can even be compared with that of the Ultramarines.

If a sub-group of the Blood Angels wanted to use Falla as a recruiting planet, he would never agree.
