While the Zhalan Civilization was preparing to attack the Silver Feather Army, there had already been so rebellious activities stirred up by the vassal peoples on Holy Star.
"Governor, we have incidents in seventeen provinces where different levels of the Internal Defense Troops have attacked military housing areas, resulting in hundreds of casualties," the Right Servant Shooter, Gong Yan, reported to Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao had just finished a eting with the high-ranking officials of the Silver Feather Army, where varying opinions had surfaced. So believed they should hold their ground on Holy Star, others thought they should mobilize all civilian spacecraft to evacuate millions of Silver Feather military households, and so even suggested opening a trans-dinsional wormhole to enter another universe.
"Let the mobile troops handle this matter. Execute all mbers of the Internal Defense Troops who participated in the rebellion!" Qi Xiao declared sternly, his eyes filled with hatred.
The Internal Defense Troops of Holy Star were actually police forces primarily responsible for maintaining urban security and were only equipped with light weapons and so riot gear. These troops comprised vassal peoples managed by the Silver Feather officers, but now they were incited to rebellion, clearly beyond the control of their Silver Feather superiors.
Zhu Xie approached Qi Xiao and asked, "Governor, have you made your decision? Are we going to rely on Holy Star and fight the Zhalan people?"
This was also what made Qi Xiao hesitate. Perhaps all the warships of Zhalan Civilization were not as technologically advanced as those of the Silver Feather Army, but the overwhelming number of enemy ships made it difficult for the eighty-odd Silver Feather warships to turn the tide. And if the Silver Feather military forces were defeated, the tens of millions of Silver Feather military households on Holy Star would face annihilation.
Qi Xiao, still young and unprepared for such a grave situation, said, "Why don't we use civilian spacecraft to evacuate so of the elderly, won, and children first, while our warriors stay and fight. That way, even if we lose, at least the seed of the Silver Feather Army is preserved."
Gong Yan frowned and objected, "The Silver Feather Army has never done such a thing. If we fight, we fight together; if we flee, we flee together."
Zhu Xie also said, "If we flee, we might actually have to leave this universe. Because no matter where we go in the Xi Huo Great Star Zone, it will be hard to escape the pursuit of the Zhalan people."
Qi Xiao understood, "Even if we went to another universe, who knows what might be waiting for us there?"
Zhu Xie shook his head and sighed, "The Silver Feather Army has grown over the past thousand years, but it's very different from the original Silver Feather Army. Nowadays, it's uncertain how many people still hold the Chancellor and the mission of the Silver Feather Army in their hearts. There were several proposals in the army to leave this universe and search for the Chancellor in other universes, but they were all vetoed. Although the Silver Feather Army has lost so power fighting for the Zhalan people while based on Holy Star, many have grown accustod to this ease, believing that as our population grows and the planet prospers, it's sufficient. The Chancellor has beco a distant legend, irrelevant to people's daily lives."
He looked at Qi Xiao and asked, "Actually, you must have so thoughts like this too, right?"
Qi Xiao seed exposed, "I... well, no matter what I think, the tradition of the Silver Feather Army cannot end on my watch, and my mission as the Governor, to protect the people of the Silver Feather Army, remains unchanged."
Qi Xiao walked to the terrace of the Governor's Mansion, looking at the now-empty city square, silent.
He knew he had to make a decision quickly, and whatever decision he made, he would have to face the consequences.
Just as he hesitated, a huge black hole suddenly opened in the sky, and Qi Xiao imdiately beca alert upon witnessing a phenonon he had never seen before.
He was about to ask the Left Servant Shooter to prepare the defensive forces when, suddenly, a gigantic humanoid cha, several dozen ters tall, burst out of the large hole.
"What is that?" Qi Xiao exclaid, slightly panicked, but still not showing any fear.
The cha flew straight towards his position, causing Zhu Xie and Gong Yan to look terribly frightened; they quickly rushed to pull Qi Xiao away, "Quickly, Governor, this newcor bodes ill!"
But just as they were preparing to take refuge, they saw the cha, flying at an incredibly fast speed, almost turning into a rainbow light. It kept getting smaller and smaller until it finally turned into a little figure and landed in Qi Xiao's hand.
The mont Qi Xiao touched the cha, his eyes beca moist with excitent, and he turned to the two servants exclaiming, "This is marvelous! It's the Chancellor! The Chancellor is coming to Holy Star!"
Zhu Xie and Gong Yan exchanged glances, unable to believe what they had heard.
"Governor, what are you talking about? How is this possible?"
Since receiving the cha, Qi Xiao had already learned a great deal of information. Holding the small figure, he laughed and said to the two servants, "This is the Divine Weapon. The Chancellor is recruiting new Knights of Destiny, and now that this Divine Weapon has chosen , I have beco a new Knight under the Chancellor's command, and he will arrive shortly."
Zhu Xie and Gong Yan were each overjoyed, but Gong Yan asked with so uncertainty, "The Chancellor is coming, but we are also facing an invasion by the Zhalan people. Does the Chancellor have reinforcents to help us?"
Qi Xiao thumped his chest, full of pride, "In this universe, civilizations like the Zhalan are not even worthy to carry the Chancellor's shoes!"
He looked down towards the city below, his emotions surging, "The Silver Feather Army has been directionless for too long. We belong to the Chancellor's warriors. Now we will return under the Chancellor's command, to battle unruly civilizations, to spread his supre majesty, and the glory of the Silver Feather Army will live on forever!"
The two servants were nearly brought to tears; from being severely damaged by Xiao Yu to fleeing into a new universe for a thousand years, the Silver Feather Army had experienced much suffering, but had never wavered in their tradition and loyalty. Now it seed that their mont of loyalty being rewarded had co.
Unnoticed, Bai Zhongqi had arrived on the small balcony of the Governor Mansion's tower, holding a white robe in his hands, his expression also slightly agitated.
The mont Qi Xiao and Zhu Xie saw Bai Zhongqi, they imdiately knelt on one knee.
"Silver Feather Army, we welco the Chancellor!"
Bai Zhongqi shook his head, reproaching himself, "I have made you pay too much, now the glory and status you deserve, I will bestow upon you together."
He handed the white robe to the kneeling Qi Xiao, smiling, "White Rhino Knight, from now on, you will carry on the spirit of generations of Silver Feather Army Governors, donned in this white robe, fight for , fight for the Empire, wherever your military boots tread, there shall the Empire be, and there shall the fa of the Silver Feather Army be sung."
