In the early morning of March 11, Marshal Benjamin Smith stood in the defense command room of Tiandu, his eyes blazing and his nerves tense. Of course he did not fall asleep, not only because of the big event a few hours later, but also because of the events in the past few Over the course of the hour, he received bad news one after another, each of which was more serious than the last.
The first piece of bad news was that the shuttle ship Solo was on was attacked by an unknown person. During the last call, the personnel on the ship reported that they were not attacked by armed forces, but by an ability user. At this moment, Master Tianwei is fighting with them, but after that communication, they have never been contacted again. So we can make the following judgment, either the communication equipment is broken, or "that ability user" defeated Solo and controlled it. Of course, the so-called control of the situation means that the ability user killed everyone present because even the shuttle ship was sunk, and the other party came alone. It can be seen that there was no one from the beginning. Plan to capture prisoners
A responsible commander must prepare for the worst in everything. As the general marshal of the armed forces, one must not have a gambler's mentality. Therefore, after repeatedly confirming that Smith could not contact the other side, he already thought that Solo was dead. If you think about it, you have set a bottom line in your heart. If the situation is as expected, it is just confirmation of bad news. And if Solo is still alive, but the communication equipment fails and the connection is interrupted, then the guardian When I came back, it was an unexpected surprise
Let’s talk about the second piece of bad news—the Freedom Front fleet is coming.
What is supposed to come will eventually come. In fact, Smith has already known that today is the day when they should come. Why? Of course it is because of the Zen position.
What kind of person is Krauser? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a person who is expected to completely change the image of the empire and even rewrite the structure of the world. His Highness, the Seventh Prince, has a good reputation and reputation among the people. Obviously, such a person will naturally be placed in a class. The other extreme in the contradiction hates the nobility and royal family. At least those who hold their privileges and interests tightly in their hands hate and fear Krauser.
The leaders of the resistance organization also knew this very well, so they did not want to see Krause ascend the throne.
Before they become successful, various resistance organizations as illegal armed forces may not need allies, but they must need enemies. And those arrogant and powerful people who have sucked the blood and sweat of the people for generations are the best enemies. As long as they exist, there will always be a strong foundation behind the resistance organizations. Under the banner of justice, but... If the empire begins to change from within, and those enemies no longer exist, all resistance organizations will fall into a very embarrassing situation.
For them to wield their swords against an enemy who is not so hateful, they need a reason, and this reason must not be "we want to replace them." Anyone who dares to say this is seeking death... If the colleagues of the resistance organization have nothing good to do Reason, the only way left is to slander. For example, they can spread propaganda everywhere, saying that Comrade Krause is actually no different from those scum, killing innocent people indiscriminately, robbing civilian girls, having an incestuous relationship with a sow, etc. ... So we must attack him. Of course, the lies told by the two are lies after all. The newspapers of the empire may have said that your Freedom Front Council is a group of fagots. Groundless slander will only reduce your own credibility. When using propaganda campaigns, we should also consider the IQ of contemporary people and the consequences of being exposed.
What the top leaders of the resistance organization are currently thinking about first is the real possibility that after Krauser takes the throne, if he goes on a killing spree like he did with the Kress family, and pulls out the families that are hated by the people one by one and puts them on trial. , and began to change some systems, purifying this decadent kingdom step by step... Then he will soon be able to stabilize the war situation politically. In addition to the recent battle situation in Double Eagle County, the defeat of Steel Commandment, etc.... it is obvious that militarily the empire It still has a competitiveness that cannot be underestimated. From the perspective of territory alone, it will definitely not be disintegrated overnight.
Therefore, the above situation is very likely to become a reality. Krauser is a very capable person. Not only will he do this, he will also achieve his goal very efficiently. By then, these illegal armed forces of the resistance organization will The political advantage of the group will no longer exist. Slogans such as "please for the people" and "resist tyranny" may not be able to incite many people.
When it comes to fighting, if the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly. It is easy to say that the strength is much stronger than the opponent. With lightning speed, we will fight it and then we will talk about it. After the victory, we will have the absolute right to speak, and then we will explain, cover up, interpret, deduce, etc. Cover up, distort... Anyway, you can do whatever you want. But if the strength is between equals, and the war may drag into a stalemate that lasts for years, then it is best to think of a way to find a foothold in morality and politics. Otherwise the problem will become very serious
Ever since, before the situation worsened, we saw the emergency assembly and massive attack on the Freedom Frontline like jumping over the wall. Naturally, Tiandu had also detected this move, so they prepared to prepare for both sides to understand. Today's offensive and defensive battle in Tiandu, Not only will it greatly affect the final outcome of the global war, it may also determine the nature of future wars.
Finally, let’s talk about the third piece of bad news. It is similar to the second piece, but it means adding insult to injury. That is, Xingtian’s troops also launched an attack on Tiandu from another direction. The estimated arrival time of the fleet is almost the same as that of the Freedom Front. At that time, it will become a situation where two sides are attacking.
By 3:30 in the morning, Smith was already considering whether to order Tiandu to move. Although the speed of advancement of this floating island is definitely incomparable with those of those fleets, and it is impossible to disappear from the opponent's radar, but By moving a hundred or ten kilometers to the north, we might be able to avoid being attacked from both sides and allow the two groups of enemies to come at each other's throats.
Before he had time to ask His Highness the Prince for instructions, Krause's order had already come. It was obvious that His Highness the Prince was fully aware of the development of the situation, and the instructions were very clear: "Lord Jueying, each takes his own side, maintain the status quo, and prepare to meet enemy"
Seeing this order, Smith felt confident that he could just follow the order. No matter what the royal struggle was like, as a soldier and as the commander-in-chief of all the empire's forces, he just had to fulfill his duties. Today, his duty is to use Do your best to protect Tiandu
… …
At the same time, underground in the surface city of Tiandu, inside the floating island, there is a space where a certain power module is located.
In the all-metal corridor, at a strange meeting point, a cross-shaped building appeared strangely when viewed from a bird's eye view. A bookstore was inserted into the space between the metals like puzzle pieces.
The door opened, and there were four people in the bookstore, Tianyi, Xue Xiao, Shen Yao, and Gunsmith.
"The attack may occur at sunrise. We still have more than an hour. During this period, the primary goal is to destroy Tiandu's own mobility, the second is to contain the lord and Jueying, and the third is to create chaos and make them It is impossible to effectively organize external defense." Tianyi said these words to Blood Owl and Divine Key, then turned back to the gunsmith and said: "After we leave, you move the bookstore back, and then you can start doing what I asked you in advance. We made 'that device', so we don't have to think about how we can retreat."
"Understood" the gunsmith replied simply.
Tianyi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said to the other two: "You two, as long as we step out of the door, our whereabouts will be discovered immediately. You should know what may happen next. I will hide myself, Acting alone, I have no time to worry about you... "
"Don't be wordy." The blood owl interrupted him: "Gunsmith, you can start the transfer process of the bookstore." Before he finished speaking, he stepped out and walked out.
Shen Yao shrugged and followed the blood owl out. However, he seemed relaxed, but in fact he had already used his abilities and was ready to fight.
Tianyi was the last one to move, and he didn’t forget to close the door when he went out.
After these three people walked out, just ten seconds later, a figure appeared in front of them.
This is a white man about forty years old. He has an ordinary appearance, average height, and an average body shape. Even if you want to talk about his age, there is nothing special, because basically the crazy-level Tianwei is no longer young, and Changying is thirty years old. There have been very few Heavenly Guards in the past hundred years who have reached the mad level in their early years.
"Interesting... There is actually a bookstore in a place like this..." Jueying suddenly appeared in front of the three of them. Facing the three masters of the reverse cross, he showed no fear, and his tone revealed only pure curiosity.
At this time, the bookstore had begun to move and gradually sank into a spatial fault.
Jueying didn't intend to stop him. He just continued: "The three are the famous Tianyi, Blood Owl and Divine Key." He smiled: "It's really amazing. Standing among the lord's abilities, he still looks very relaxed. look"
The three of them all knew what this meant, because almost at the same time Jueying appeared, the lord's ability had been activated. Although the lord himself was not here, he had already exerted his "absolute control" over his own domain. When he sensed When the blood owl's energy appeared, both the lord and Jueying focused their attention on this place. At this moment, the lord's ability was attacking them all the time, trying to crush the bodies of these three people.
"How should I put it... I've 'locked' myself up so he can't hurt me" Shen Yao replied calmly
"I have to take a step in advance, you guys can chat slowly." Tian Yijia walked past Jueying calmly, the two of them passed each other, but Jueying didn't react at all.
"This scratchy feeling... seems familiar." The blood owl said with a ferocious smile: "Let the owner of this ability also experience the experience of being torn to pieces, it will definitely make me quite happy." To be continued)
