Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 184 Grand Meeting 2

The reason they came here was to ask the Star Lord to agree to their request to send troops, and they did not discuss the specific strategy of sending troops at all.

If they discussed the strategy in advance, then came to see the Lord of Stars and told the strategy to the Lord of Stars, then the Lord of Stars might think that they were there to put pressure on him, which was something the three of them would never dare to think about.

Therefore, everyone planned to obtain the Star Lord's approval first, and then discuss a detailed strategy for sending troops. However, to their surprise, the Star Lord actually agreed to the request for sending troops this time.

He even took the initiative to ask everyone whether they had a specific plan for sending troops. This sudden change caught Gray and others off guard.

Faced with Gray's pleading look, Andreda and Mendeleev could only look at each other helplessly and chose to remain silent, letting Gray deal with the Lord of the Stars' questioning alone.

"What's going on? You haven't even discussed the strategy for sending troops, and you come to me?" The art student stared at Gray and the other two with interest and asked in surprise.

Gray looked at Andrada and Mendeleev, who chose to continue acting like ostriches, and could only bite the bullet and answer:

"My Lord, although our army is ready for battle, we are afraid that you will refuse our request to send troops again.

Therefore, we came to see you this time with the intention of giving it a try, and we haven't discussed a specific strategy for sending troops. We are only waiting for your approval, and then we will return to carefully study the specific plan."

Gray scratched his head in embarrassment and honestly told the Star Lord the details, not daring to hide anything.

"You guys!" The art student couldn't help but feel annoyed after hearing Gray's explanation. He kept pointing his finger at the officers present. Every officer he pointed at felt very ashamed and lowered their heads, unable to face the gaze of the Lord of the Stars.

"Couldn't you discuss your military strategy first before coming to me? Am I the type to act arbitrarily and ignore others' opinions? I've repeatedly emphasized to you that professional matters should be left to professionals."

Art looked at the officers present angrily and questioned them in a stern tone.

"My Lord, that's not what we meant. We just want to wait until you make up your mind before discussing the decision to send troops."

Faced with the angry look of the Lord of Stars, Gray and the other two quickly spoke up to defend themselves.

You are just too steady. Of course, the three of them only dared to think about this in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.

Looking at the angry Star Lord, the officers present all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes: "My Lord, this is not what we meant."

The art student looked at the officers present, their collective expressions of admitting their mistakes: "Stand up."

The art student waved his arm, and an invisible force lifted up the officers.

"The reason we stopped you from attacking nearby star systems last time was simply because the navy's main battleships had not yet been completed, and the training of the space marines had not yet reached the required level."

The art student looked at everyone present and explained the whole story.

Although Hogood and the others knew that the Star Lord was only scolding the officers, they did not dare to make any noise to disturb him. They all lowered their heads and sat silently in their chairs.

"The navy fleet has now reached five fully staffed fleets, and the training of the new Space Marines has been completed. The time for you to dispatch troops has arrived. How could I possibly block your request for troops again?"

"My Lord, our vision is too narrow. Please punish us." Gray and others admitted their mistakes humbly.

Seeing the officers who admitted their mistakes so well, the art student lost interest in continuing to reprimand them. After all, these officers were all promoted by him. Gray and the others had recommended them, and the art student had agreed to them. This was a promotion.

This time it was just due to carelessness. The art student also knew some of the general thoughts in these people's minds. They were all trying to maintain their own authority. It was not a big mistake, so there was no need to continue blaming everyone.

So the art student began to change the subject, wanting to know how much Gray and the others knew about the surrounding galaxies.

"How much do you know about the nearby galaxies?" The art student continued to look at Gray and the other two and asked.

He wanted to see how much these senior officers knew about the surrounding galaxies so that he could better formulate strategies and plans.

Hearing the art student's question, Gray and the others showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces. It was obvious that these people were not very clear about the information about the nearby galaxies.

Gray touched his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly: "My Lord, we have been busy training new recruits for so many years and really have no time to pay attention to this information!"

Gray knew that as a senior military officer, he should have some knowledge of the intelligence of the surrounding galaxies, but because he had been focusing on military training and preparations for war for a long time, he had indeed neglected the collection of information in this area.

However, he still chose to tell the truth, hoping to be forgiven by the art student. As long as he admits his mistake with a good attitude, it is not a big deal. The big problem is knowing the mistake and not correcting it.

After hearing what Gray said, the art student did not choose to blame him, but nodded to show his understanding.

Then, he turned his gaze to Milos and said, "Milos, please explain the situation of the nearby galaxies to all of them, so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of the surrounding environment."

Milos is an experienced intelligence officer who is very familiar with the situation in the surrounding galaxies. Over the years, the intelligence department under Milos has been collecting intelligence on nearby galaxies.

Milos respectfully saluted the artist: "Yes."

Milos walked quickly to the center of the conference room, turned on his personal terminal, and projected a holographic projection in the conference room hall, allowing everyone present to clearly see the content of the holographic projection.

The holographic projection showed a detailed three-dimensional galaxy map, which was the detailed map of the nearby star field collected by the intelligence department.

"This is our Xinghai Galaxy." Milos pointed to the brightest galaxy in the holographic projection and said to everyone.

Everyone looked in the direction Milos pointed, and they could clearly see the brightest star in the galaxy, every planet in the galaxy, and dozens of space docks in the Kuiper Belt.

"You don't need to tell me, I can already see it." Dorak muttered softly.

"You explain." Milos looked at Dorak who was muttering softly and said with a smile.

"I'm not coming." Dorak shook his head like a rattle.

"If you don't understand, just listen quietly."
