Chapter 651 No Peace
Aldred, still reeling from the vivid illusions of his loved ones, took a moment to gather his thoughts. The images of his wives lingered in his mind, the warmth of their embrace still felt, yet he knew it was nothing but the Veil playing tricks on him. As he contemplated the surreal experience, Salamander's voice broke through his reverie.
"Aldred! We don't have time for daydreaming! We're under attack!"
Shaking off the lingering emotions, Aldred snapped back to reality. The viewscreen displayed a chaotic skirmish unfolding in the cosmic expanse. Various spacecraft engaged in fierce battles, firing energy beams and launching projectiles at each other.
Aldred rushed to his station, joining Salamander in navigating the Stardust Voyager through the tumultuous space battle. The ship jolted as it evaded enemy fire, and Aldred gritted his teeth in frustration. The Veil was proving to be as dangerous as it was unpredictable.
