"Yes! The signal is strong. They aren't far from here!"
The flame of hope rekindled in Pisces's eyes.
He immediately strode over to the base's broadcast system and announced at the top of his lungs:
"Attention, all units! The Guardian will be here soon!"
"Hold your positions! Never give up!"
"We still have hope! Starlight Base will never fall!"
The news spread through the entire base like life-giving rain.
The soldiers who had despaired tightened their grips on their weapons again.
The civilians trapped in the rubble stopped crying, hope returning to their eyes.
The little girl took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I knew the Guardian would come!"
This time, her mother smiled genuinely and hugged her daughter tightly.
The command center bustled with activity again.
"Redistribute power! Prioritize keeping the defense systems running!"
"Repair teams, pick up the pace! We must stabilize the situation before the Guardian arrives!"
"All combat units, prepare to support his arrival!"
Feeling the renewed fighting spirit surging through the base, Pisces was filled with gratitude.
Lin Ye was not only the leader of the Constellation Alliance, but everyone's pillar of strength.
As long as he was still there, hope would never die.
The commander of the Void Fleet noticed the change within the base.
"Strange. Why has their resistance suddenly intensified?"
"They were already on their last legs. Why have they started fighting back again?"
An adjutant checked the monitoring data. "It seems some news has boosted their morale."
"Keep attacking. Don't give them a chance to catch their breath," the commander ordered coldly.
Purple energy beams bombarded the defensive shield with increasing intensity.
Yet strangely, the shield that had been on the verge of collapse stabilized.
The base's engineers were desperately repairing energy nodes, feeding more power into the defense systems.
