"alright!"

"Everyone, stop talking and eat quickly!"

"I don't know when the mission will come again. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to get together like this next time."

"Isn't it?"

"I heard that the Necrontyrs, those Necrons, directly occupied that plateau city, and the troops there seemed to be helpless against them!"

"Maybe there will be a new mission tomorrow!"

"ah?"

"Is the situation really that serious?"

"I do not know……"

"Anyway, they have put up a protective shield. If they don't come out, our troops can't seem to attack, not even a fusion strike!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Stop talking, let's eat first. Just like what Captain Awen just said, we may give orders again at some point."

"Eat first!"

“Let’s talk after we’re full?”

"..."

As they talked, they saw that there were no peaches to rub off on, that Head of State Anne was very resolute, and then heard about the Necrontyr, that is, the Necron things, everyone who had been in a relatively harmonious atmosphere just now was heartbroken.

, as if covered with a layer of haze, and then they all ate the delicious food quickly and silently, unwilling to mention what just happened.

"..."

(￣～￣)Chew!

Seeing those guys calm down, Anne was naturally relieved and didn't talk to them anymore. She just ate her food and thought about where to go next.

Anyway, she doesn't plan to bully those subspace demons or those metal skeletons for the time being. Maybe, she can go find some rebels, or she just saw some people who forcibly landed on the planet in the war report.

Are you kidding me?

Of course, she hasn't figured out what to do yet, so she has to wait until she has eaten and drank enough, then had a good night's rest, and then waits until she gets up tomorrow afternoon to see how she feels.

…

And while a certain troubled little girl was eating and drinking with her group of idiot friends, a somewhat anxious Darius finally connected with Horus, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Terran Empire's Great Expedition Fleet.

and formally launched a dialogue.

"His Excellency, Commander of the Horus Legion!"

"I remember……"

"We have an agreement, right?"

"Now you suddenly tore up the agreement and broke into our Canopy Star. What do you want?"

After the two parties exchanged a few casual greetings, Darius became a little impatient when he saw that the other party had always been a bit self-indulgent, so he directly questioned him face to face.

"Tear up the agreement?"

"No no no!"

"We didn't break the agreement!"

"Where does this begin?"

"We saw that Your Excellency, General, had important matters to deal with, so we sympathized with Your Excellency and unanimously extended the agreement indefinitely. Our large fleet has not entered the Taiwei Galaxy."

However, Horus was careless and slyly said the word 'indefinitely' before denying it.

"Yeah?"

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Corps, I don't know about these two battleships...what explanation do you plan to give?"

"If it is determined that it is not your ship, then we will destroy it!"

Seeing this, Darius didn't hesitate and directly sent a set of pictures to the other party before threatening with a sneer.

Of course, he is not just a threat. If the other party really refuses to admit it, he will not be polite and guarantees to send Viking fighter jets to destroy it as soon as possible!

As for the ground troops, it's even simpler. There are only a few thousand people, and two fusion strikes are probably about the same.

"Well..."

"Ha ha!"

"actually……"

"Well……"

"That's just our scientific research vessel and risk assessment expedition force?"

"That's right!"

"That's it."

First there was a haha, and then Horus in the communication was a little shameless and said something against his will that he himself seemed not to want to believe.

"Still evaluating?"

"investigation?"

"What's there to investigate?"

Darius frowned, a little shocked, and then asked coldly. At the same time, his heart thumped, feeling that he seemed to have overestimated the other party's level of shame.

"Of course it's about issues related to the subspace demons and chaos pollution on the Canopy Star!"

"I'm afraid your Excellency General doesn't know, right?"

"Since the Great Crusade, we have also encountered situations like Hua Gai Star where human colonies were invaded by subspace. In this regard, we will make a corresponding assessment every time. If the situation is serious and irreversible, you might as well take a guess,

What do we usually do?”

Horus quickly calmed down, then ignored Darius's expression and strange eyes, and asked instead.

"Feel sorry!"

"Huagai Planet is the planet of the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector. We have our own considerations as to what we will do."

"so……"

"No matter how your Excellency, Commander of the Horus Legion, and your country deal with other planets, that has nothing to do with us and the Canopy Star!"

It's a pity that Darius didn't take the right approach. He didn't answer the other party's sensitive remarks at all, and never gave the other party a chance to get involved in Huagai Star's affairs.

"Why doesn't it matter?"

"to be honest……"

"Your Majesty the General may not believe that in a situation like Huagai Star, we usually directly use the Extermination Order!"

Shaking his head, Horus looked at Darius steadily after he finished speaking with emotion, as if he wanted to see his reaction?

"..."

It's a pity that Darius still didn't answer the other party's words and just looked at the other party coldly.

“As the name suggests!”

"The 'Extermination Order' is an operational directive used by our empire to refer to the destruction of an entire planetary biosphere and all life on a planetary world."

"Of course."

"An extermination order will only be issued under extreme circumstances. Generally, in that case, it means that there is a strategic threat to the entire empire or humanity that is extinct on the planet, and it may even spread to other planets?

"

"When the cost of holding or retaking a planet is deemed too high, or the threat of mutation, plague, or Chaos spreading to other parts of the Empire is too great to be contained by conventional means, the Order of Extermination is imposed as a last resort by the Empire.

Issued."

"Like the current Huagai Star?"

"To be honest, if my fleet had arrived here a few months earlier, Your Excellency General, and seen the entire planet being spread by chaos and subspace, we would have issued an extermination order without hesitation!"

Then, under Darius' slightly dissatisfied gaze, Horus sighed and told the story about the 'Extermination Order' with some emotion.

"oh?"

"Even if there are tens of billions of people still alive up there?"

Frowning, Darius couldn't help but ask.

Although at the beginning, he agreed with the other party, he also felt that saving and restoring this planet was of little significance and the cost was too high. It would be better to save people and evacuate here, and then completely destroy it.

.

However, fortunately, they survived it after all.
