Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

"Then do you know Cocolia's purpose?" Danheng asked after Otto and Joyce finished asking.

And Shiluwa replied: "Cocolia... We haven't spoken for several years (actually we just talked a few days ago). She and I used to be very good friends. We talked about everything and had almost no secrets. But... since she became the Great Guardian, everything has changed... She has become completely different. How should I put it? It's as if the beliefs and enthusiasm she used to hold have been drained away by some force."

"And completely left her body! Moreover, it was she who personally issued the order to expel me, and after that, she never wanted to meet me again (so why did she meet me a few days ago)."

"As for her subsequent behavior, well... I don't understand it, and I have long since given up using normal logic to speculate on her intentions."

"There are times when I even doubt that she is no longer Cocolia! Or is there such a possibility? The "Guardians" have a consciousness that is passed down from generation to generation, and it will descend upon each "Guardian". And after each successor becomes a "Guardian", she is no longer herself. "

“And then there were the consciousnesses of the great guardians, generation after generation, who made these decisions. I don’t know. But maybe I can write a song about this idea.”

"Then can we talk to Jeppard?" Chen Ye asked.

"Huh? Jeppard? Don't do that! Let me put it this way... although my brother is an upright person, he is too stubborn."

"He regards orders as the most important thing. Even if you slap Bronya's letter directly on his face, put it in his mouth (Chen Ye:?), or even force it into his clothes, he will never waver!"

"But it's not completely impossible. It requires some skills. And it may have to be done by me personally. Of course - I haven't figured out how to say it yet."

"Then do you know where the 'star core' is?" Qiong asked the most crucial question.

And Shiluwa's answer made everyone very happy - "I know. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have made a rough location after simulation experiments and field surveys."

"According to the survey results, the 'star core' is probably located to the north of Beloberg. That is, somewhere in the vast snowfield."

"Thank you for the information, so can you show us the way? We must find the "star core"! It's best to do it before Cocolia takes action."

"Of course, that's no problem. After all, that's exactly what I want to do. But this road is extremely difficult to walk on, so - let me lead the way."

"Ah? Why? As a scientific researcher, shouldn't you stay in the rear? Why are you going to the front line?" March asked puzzled.

"How should I put it? Actually, Otto and I are also considered scientific researchers..."

"But can you two be like ordinary people? Don't make trouble." But before Joyce could finish his words, Chen Ye interrupted with a helpless look on his face.

"Well... let's put it this way. The area north of Beloberg is almost completely swallowed up by the Rift. So, if you want to go to the northern snowfields, you must first pass through the front-line restricted area of ​​the "Silver Mane Iron Guard". And even if you successfully pass the restricted area, there is still a large Rift waiting for you in front. "

"What is the Iron Guard restricted area?" Qiong asked puzzledly.

"That's where the main force of the Silver Mane Guard is stationed. They are reorganizing their troops there to resist the invasion of the Rift. It's also the place where the entire Beloberg has the most combat power."

...........................

"Hmm...it sounds like it's going to be difficult. How about we go back to the downtown area and call up the Underground Fire to help?"

"March, did you never take a good look at Chen Ye's memory?"

"Ah? Ah this... I get it. Our situation is already strong enough to defeat the entire Beloberg."

"Indeed, but I think we should use courtesy before force. After all, getting a planet to accept our favor is more important than any promise."

"Chen Ye is right. So even though we can push forward smoothly, it's better to talk about reason. After all, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay."

...........................

"What should we do then?"

"That's easy. Just take me with you. After all, when I was doing public service, I often traveled around the north and got to know the soldiers and officers on the front line very well."

"So, if a strong attack fails, you can use your wits to defeat me. Don't worry that I will hold you back. It's not like I don't have the ability to fight. In your words, I am a destiny walker who walks on the path of destiny."

"Wow! So you, Xiluwa, are also a destiny walker! In that case, we have one more fighting force! And it's you who are familiar with fighting power leading the way. I am finally relieved!"

"Haha, after all, I also want to see the "core of a star" with my own eyes - that's a topic I've been studying for more than ten years! And how many decades does a person have in his lifetime?"

"Well... you're right." Chen Ye agreed with a heavy voice, and made up his mind. A decision to let Xiluwa go to the location of the "Star Core" instead of staying in the Iron Guard restricted area as in the plot.

"Then it's settled! Without further ado, let's get ready and go."

When everyone was about to go out to the location of the "Star Core", someone suddenly knocked on the door. Everyone was startled.

And Xiluwa suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Oh no! I forgot that my brother would come today... Ah~, I forgot about you Herrs of Knowledge. My brother can't find you at all."

Then, in full view of everyone, Jeppard opened the door, and Shiluwa said naturally: "Brother, you are here. I thought you would not come as the front line was so tense."

"It's not bad. After all, the monsters' attacks have eased up recently, so I went back to the city to deal with some matters and will return to the front line later. Didn't I tell you before?"

"I thought the situation might change."

"Well, anyway, the reason I came to you this time is because of the "barrier" matter."

"What happened to the Barrier?"

"There's something wrong. And the engineers in the army don't know how to fix it. I have to ask you to take a look."

"That's not true. Those people's minds are rigid. Of course they can't understand my design. Really, I thought it was a big deal. Just leave it here and I'll fix it."

"Phew, thank you for your help."

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? Oh, by the way, the city has been under martial law recently. Is it because of something that happened?"
