All that impassioned rhetoric came from the Imperial Outer Rim Theater Command, led by Duke Bayrian.
Of course, the rhetoric was certainly impassioned, but whether it was effective was another matter entirely.
Also, "ghost" was a very common word, but once it appeared in an official military report from the Empire, it had a very specific meaning.
The mighty Galactic Empire was, after all, a leader of civilization across half the universe. It was only proper that its wording be precise and formal. They no longer lumped the Silentium and the "Zerg" together, but naturally, they could not verify the authenticity of the so-called "Alliance Titan," either.
To put it the same way as before: if it wasn't an Alliance Titan, that was bad news. But if it really was an Alliance Titan, that was even worse news.
So, in the subsequent reports about the "ghost," their wording became even more grave and subdued. They were clearly writing military reports, but between the lines, it felt like they were trading stories of urban legends—ones that had definitely appeared and haunted people.
Even the people on Earth secretly watching the reports could see the Imperial soldiers' inner turmoil and torment.
Of course, as I've said, since he was already here, Yu Lian had decided to make things even more tormenting for them. Otherwise, wouldn't coming all this way have been a waste?
And so the Enlightener warship began moving toward the Gate of Glory. Its movements weren't exactly brazen—after all, that would have seemed a little too deliberate—but they were certainly not concealed. The Silentium even appeared within the monitoring range of a civilian passenger liner, bringing the first ghost story to life.
Of course, Yu Lian wasn't a demon, and he hadn't sunk so low as to use the Enlighteners'
