"The empire is in danger. We must contribute all our strength and open up a bright future for mankind..."


    In the glorious queen class warship under his jurisdiction, St. Gilles is telling his speech to the soldiers and generals below.


    Their current area is within the borders of the human empire.


    This is a routine inspection task.


    It is the responsibility of the emperors who cannot leave Tara to stabilize the people on the border.


    Horus rebellion + the Emperor gave up most of his territory, which has made the Empire feel swaying in the wind and rain.


    Especially the latter.


    Directly harmed the fundamental interests of the vast majority of people.


    Countless people were forced to leave their homes.


    The accumulated negative emotions and malice can never be underestimated.


    In addition, the rebels who control the chaotic Empire continue to obstruct it


    That is, the territory of the human Empire has been reduced, and the regional control has been relatively improved. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be a rebellion in three or two days.


    And the troops will also be exhausted in the crackdown from all over the country.


    Halfway through St. Gilles'' speech, his deputy suddenly appeared under the stage and made a gesture at him.


    Seeing this, St. Gilles frowned slightly, although he didn''t like the ongoing speech and thought it was a little too formalistic.


    But I don''t like being interrupted.


    However, knowing that the other party must have something important to report, he condensed the remaining words directly, and said all the things he wanted to say in a few words.


    After Saint Gilles stepped down, his deputy quickly greeted him and reported respectfully:


    "Sir, we found a spaceship of unknown origin in front of the route."


    Hearing this unimportant question, St. Gilles said, "are there any ships of alien civilization lost?"


    In this vast sea of stars, because the area is too vast, ships of various civilizations often get lost.


    This is especially true for civilizations that use [sub space crossing technology] to sail at the speed of light.


    Under the spatiotemporal instability of subspace, spaceships often appear in various places inexplicably.


    In the past, in his spare time, St. Gilles dealt with many similar events.


    Before the Horus rebellion, the human Empire, which extremely excluded alien races, generally killed the alien ships lost in its own territory without letting go.


    After the Horus rebellion, the relevant policies of the human Empire, which received some assistance, have become much more moderate. Generally, it will decide whether to lend a helping hand or attack directly according to the other party''s race.


    But this kind of thing is basically not a major event, which is almost the same level as the car accident in ancient times.


    Therefore, after hearing what the Deputy reported, St. Gilles didn''t understand why he didn''t deal with this small matter directly and had to interrupt his speech.


    "My Lord, according to our investigation, that spaceship should not be the product of alien civilization, but the product of our human civilization, but..."


    Speaking later, the deputy''s look showed a smell of uncertainty.


    Seeing this, Saint Gilles immediately asked, "but what?"


    After hesitating, the deputy said the results of the analysis: "there may be a problem with the age of the spacecraft..."


    "Age?"


    "Yes, although the appearance of the spaceship looks damaged, according to the analysis, the craft and style may come from the [golden age] of the [human Federation]..."


    At this moment, St. Gilles''s body immediately shook, his eyes showed a look of joy, and then the look turned into suspicion.


    [golden age]


    This is the undisputed peak of the whole human civilization.


    Any scientific and technological thing contains a level far beyond the existing technology.


    Take the Titan legion, which is now regarded as a heavy weapon and strategic weapon by the human empire. Even a small model can take a few mecha weapons to capture some backward planets.


    If that thing is put in the "golden age", it is actually just civilian logging tools and mining equipment.


    Later, due to the large-scale lack of technology of various advanced weapons, they were used as the basic framework and transformed into strategic weapons.


    In essence, that kind of action is the same as installing several gun barrels on the tractor.


    Although that achievement can really be called a weapon.


    But can you put it on the same level as regular weapons such as tanks?


    Therefore, the real weapons of the [Titan Legion] and the [golden age] on which the human Empire depends are actually separated by dozens of streets


    It is precisely because of the huge gap in this regard that the scientific and technological forces led by the mechanical deity in the human Empire have an incomparable desire for any technology in the [golden age]. Even a pistol in the [golden age] can do it at the cost of destroying a planet.


    And a spaceship from the golden age?


    I''m afraid some people who are not mechanical gods can even directly rebel.


    After all, Horus once lured many God servants of mechanical deities to rebel with some chaotic knowledge.


    Now, hearing that such a big gift was put in front of him for no reason, Saint Gilles was full of doubt.


    He felt that the high probability of this thing was the product of some conspiracy. After all, it was too coincidental


    But what if you''re really lucky?


    For a time, he also felt a little embarrassed


    After a while, he made a decision.


    Let''s go and have a look


    People have a fluke mentality after all.


    Although St. Gilles estimated that he might not be human, he still had such a psychological existence.


    Not long.


    As St. Gilles approached in a small spaceship.


    The shape of the unknown warship gradually appeared in front of him.


    It was a huge warship with all kinds of twisted scars on its surface. It was nearly 30 kilometers long alone, bigger than the glorious queen class warship he owned. It looked as magnificent as a horizontal mountain!


    The ship body is clearly written with the common words of the human Federation in the golden age -- [eternal soul]!


    When he saw this title, St. Gilles''s eyes showed a trace of confusion!


    He had never seen this title in various materials.


    The shape of this warship shows its extraordinary status. I''m afraid it also has special significance in the "golden age"
