The appearance of the Fallen Apostles in the Macro World had caught everyone off guard. It completely contradicted their usual patterns and areas of activity. According to the intelligence we currently possessed, the Fallen Apostles' territory was basically all within the Old Empire's Shattered Borderlands. They rarely operated beyond that range, because their mutated life forms made them easily exposed if they remained in orderly universes for too long. With the Empire and the Star Realm now working together and checkpoints established throughout the void, even the Fallen Apostles knew to keep a lower profile.
Every member world of the Macro World was basically far from the Fallen Apostles' active regions. Even those closer to dangerous areas had heavily guarded Imperial forces nearby. It could be said that, despite the Macro World system's vast scale, it was among the regions least likely to suffer Fallen Apostle incursions.
Yet this time, the enemy had appeared—and in a place far from their usual sphere of activity.
Siweisi had already ordered the Sixth Legion to dispatch two sub-fleets to reinforce the area. If the Fallen Apostles' numbers were really as small as the report indicated, two sub-fleets would be more than enough to handle the situation. At the same time, we contacted several Macro World inspectors stationed there. Reassuringly, the local universes remained stable. The Fallen Apostles' movements outside the World Barriers had not yet affected the balance inside those universes. Although some constant disturbances had occurred near the World Barriers' edges, the native inhabitants knew nothing. They were three worlds with relatively low technological levels; the most advanced civilization had only just completed its exploration of the universe and had not progressed far enough to detect the existence of the void or other worlds. That was more or less good news: ignorance
