"Are you saying... the Gresiavia star system has been completely devoured by that newborn Follower of Abundance?"
Feixiao's expression was grim as she spoke in a deep voice.
This scale... it might be another Abundance War.
No, that's not right. It should be an Abundance Swarm.
"The clues we've found so far point to this..."
"That is truly troublesome. Even the valiant Qingqiu Army won't be able to exterminate them quickly; the sheer numbers are too great."
Feixiao frowned and said seriously.
It wasn't that she was afraid, but the Qingqiu Army had limited numbers, and this battle could easily turn into a war of attrition.
"Sister Feixiao, let's organize the survivors in the star system first before figuring out how to wipe them out. Currently, the Warahip Cloud Knights fleet has set up an energy net at the edge of the system, so they can't escape for now."
Hearing this, Feixiao frowned, gave Kiana a long look, and gently shook her head.
"Rescuing survivors is certainly important, but I cannot gamble with the lives of my subordinates."
How many reconnaissance teams would such a vast star system require? How much manpower and resources would be needed just for the rescue?
If they tried to rescue people while fighting, being cautious and hesitant would be like tying their own hands.
Feixiao clearly disagreed with prioritizing the rescue option.
They could only rescue people in the areas they cleared. As for the survivors who might die due to the fighting, Feixiao could only apologize in advance.
Kiana understood Feixiao's meaning, sighed afterward, and looked somewhat dejected.
"Alright..."
Fighting for a better future, yet she couldn't even manage this simple task... Seeing the disheartened Kiana, Feixiao stepped forward and patted the shoulder of her junior and friend.
"As generals, we have many things to consider. We cannot harm those who follow us because of a momentary impulse."
Feixiao finished speaking earnestly, gave Kiana one last look, and then led her troops out.
Kiana was still too young. Hopefully, this war would allow her to grow.
Feixiao led her people back to the Yaoqing, which was docked beside Warahip. After assembling the troops, she launched attacks against the nearby planets.
After Kiana received the news, she stopped being depressed and summoned the Six Administrators within Warahip.
Kiana handed a copy of the Valhalla contract to everyone.
"My good General! You're making Little Que work for you for life!"
After seeing the heroic spirit contract, Qingque clawed at her cheeks with her ten fingers, looking at Kiana with 'despair' and wailing.
Although being the Grand Diviner wasn't too tiring now, and she could legitimately slack off, who in their right mind wants to do it for a lifetime!
She had fantasized about retiring later, living a leisurely life playing cards every day while collecting a hefty pension!
But this heroic spirit contract!
Doesn't this mean you don't have to worry about becoming Demonic Yin Body as you age! And don't even think about retiring! This position is yours for life!
Fu Hua signed the contract without hesitation.
After signing the contract, an extra piece of memory data from the Elysian Realm appeared in Fu Hua's mind.
At the same time, the Fu Hua memory data in the Elysian Realm vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile, Klein, who was working, fell into contemplation as she watched the Fu Hua memory data disappear... "This contract is quite interesting, and so is that Valhalla..."
Verwy rubbed her chin, looking excitedly at the contract, then eagerly signed it before looking back at Kiana.
"General, I want to die briefly, go inside to see Valhalla, and also, can I take it apart and study it?"
"Absolutely not!"
Kiana's mouth twitched as she looked at this woman whose face was filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Although she looked exactly like Vill-V and her talent was top-notch, why was she so eccentric?
She wanted to disassemble and study everything.
What if she wasn't home and Verwy ended up dismantling her Warahip... Kiana was genuinely scared.
Verwy pouted, hugged her ample chest, and sighed with slight reluctance.
Kiana ignored her. If she agreed, that would be disastrous; if Valhalla were really dismantled, she would have nowhere to cry.
"Since this is the General's good intention, this concubine should not refuse."
A girl's voice carrying a hint of gentle Warmth came from beside Kiana. Kiana turned her head and saw Lingsha of the Alchemy Commission.
She had already signed the contract.
"Thank you for your trust, Lingsha~"
Kiana then looked at Qingque and Tingyun, who had yet to sign the contract.
"Then this humble girl will respectfully comply with the order~"
"Stare—"
Kiana finally gave Qingque a sharp look, and only then did Qingque reluctantly sign the contract.
After signing, she kept muttering—When will Little Que's good days finally arrive?
"Hehe, thanks everyone. Only this way can This Young Miss truly feel relieved."
Kiana sighed in relief after seeing everyone sign the heroic spirit contract, then scratched her head and said with a chuckle.
The group exchanged smiles, and their gazes toward Kiana became softer and more approving.
Although she was still naive, her potential for future growth was immense.
"Now that you're done, the Cloud Knights must also be arranged."
Having said that, Kiana rushed out, leaving the five girls looking at each other.
"I'm heading back to the Department of Contraptions and Artifice. I'm just an inventor; the battlefield probably doesn't need me."
Verwy shrugged and returned to the Department of Contraptions and Artifice.
She just needed to handle logistics and arrange some new equipment for the Cloud Knights. Going to the front line?
She was merely a weak and delicate woman.
With Verwy making the first move, the others also returned to their respective posts, while Fu Hua remained alone in the Taiyin Mansion.
Her official duties were finished. Now, during this free time, she could just wait here for Kiana's orders.
Kiana, at this moment, found her Chief Strategist and signed her into Valhalla as well.
She then took the Chief Strategist and traveled to the edges of the star systems guarded by the various Cloud Knights fleets, signing all these Cloud Knights into Valhalla.
Although Kiana didn't know the capacity limit of this Valhalla, she figured that anything produced by the System couldn't be bad.
If the System didn't say, then it must be infinite!
After signing the Warahip army, Kiana headed to the command ship of the Warahip Qingqiu Army fleet.
After Feixiao heard Kiana talk about Valhalla, she readily agreed after a brief moment of thought.
Such a divine artifact, capable of preserving and resurrecting fallen soldiers, was nothing short of divine aid for Yaoqing, which frequently fought on the front lines.
This way, the Yaoqing Qingqiu Army could fight even more fearlessly in the future.
And these Cloud Knights who became heroic spirits, especially the soldiers of Warahip, would make the Followers of Abundance tremble with fear in the future.
They were the Valhalla Cloud Knights, Warahip's special army in the future—the Valhalla Army.
As long as Kiana was alive, this army would be immortal and indestructible.
Of course, this was all for later—
Since things had reached this point, Kiana no longer cared if Valhalla was exposed.
When soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers.
Moreover, Kiana thought carefully: both the Wangshu Astral Express and Valhalla were products of the System.
Later, when swapping bodies with group members and her own abilities were limited, she could totally call down divine reinforcements!
Kiana just needed to raise her arms and shout: Call for fleet support!
Everything would be solved easily.
Having finished everything, Kiana immediately returned to the Warahip Taiyin Mansion.
Seeing Fu Hua sitting cross-legged and meditating beside the imperial desk, Kiana tiptoed behind her, grinned mischievously, and reached for her armpit.
But Fu Hua opened her eyes first, turning her head with a smile in her eyes to look at Kiana.
"You're back, Kiana."
