A new round of attacks.
Corruptor attacks are becoming more frequent.
Before that, except for the first few hundred years of the war, there would always be an interval of as little as a month or as many as several years between the large-scale attacks of those freaks, and there would only be temptations and conflicts of small groups of troops in between. , but in the past three or four years, they have uncharacteristically increased the frequency of attacks. On average, there will be a large-scale attack every ten days, and this time there is only a three-day interval between the two rounds of attacks—almost Just after their last attack was disintegrated by the final torrent, the next attack came one after another, and the soldiers on the defense line had no room to breathe in this mere three days.
The legion leader of the guardian giants, "The Fearless" Salaman stood on the defense platform above the hub, he watched the universe being illuminated by the artillery fire and magic of the two warring parties, and the pale light was projected on his thickly bearded face, leaving There are countless dark shadows. The scene in front of me is almost a replica of the battle a few days ago: Corruptors came overwhelmingly, occupying almost half of the space in the field of vision. They continued to use cannon fodder to weaken the defense of the hub, reduce the number of guardians, and put their own corrupt and polluted breath Staying on this battlefield will pose a more permanent and terrifying threat to this place, and the number of guards is far from enough to stop the enemy's offensive.
Salaman can also imagine the development after this: he will have to activate Agdal's doomsday weapon again, and the doomsday torrent will drive out all the corrupted monsters on the battlefield as before, but this will be nothing to the enemy The damage of the doomsday weapon to the space structure near the hub will even exceed the damage to the enemy, and those corrupt breaths... They will be purified by the doomsday torrent, but before that, they have already caused damage to the hub's shield. enough damage.
A thick "crystalline barrier" hangs over the hub. This is the energy gathered by thousands of Star People from all over the universe. These energies saved the planetary shield that was almost broken down in the first impact, But under the continuous weakening and impact of three thousand years, its strength has dropped by half, and no one knows how long those star people can last—the star people's thoughts residing in the barrier have been unable to respond to the guardian giants many years ago. called.
"Legion Commander," said a younger Guardian Giant standing behind Salaman, "the enemy's attacks have become more frequent."
Salaman turned his head, his eyes sparkled with wisdom: "What do you think about this, my brother?"
"Isolated in the Holy Land, we know nothing of what is going on in the depths of the universe, my brother," said the young Guardian Giant, "but I think something must have happened in the depths of the universe to make these deformed monsters Such urgency—they are attacking with increasing ferocity, but at the same time showing tension and panic, they are increasing the frequency of attack at the expense of their own potential."
Salaman nodded slightly, although he expressed his agreement, but there was still no expression on his thick bearded face: "You are right, these freaks have become more irritable than before, and they are under some kind of pressure. I accept According to reports, a few days ago, an army of aberrations suddenly marched into outer space, and then never came back. After that, these freaks have made many inexplicable mobilizations... I suspect that another force has intervened in this world .”
"Another force?" The young guardian giant looked at the legion commander, "Apart from us, does mother have any other allies?"
Salaman said in a deep voice: "Mother has left many secrets, some of which are unknown even to us, just like the holy place we are stationed in is also unknown to outsiders. Maybe mother is also in other places..."
Before he finished speaking, the space behind him suddenly showed signs of distortion. A guardian in white armor came out of the space door and hurriedly came to him: "League commander, our soldiers are here A... strange thing was found at the edge of the battlefield."
"Strange thing?" Salaman raised his eyebrows. He hadn't heard such a strange statement from his subordinates for many years. "What is it?"
The orderly bowed his head: "A... looks like a very advanced man-made aircraft. Its style and technology are not any kind we know, but this aircraft seems to try to establish communication with us."
Salaman frowned: "Bring it for me to see."
The two guardian giants soon brought the strange aircraft to the platform. When Salaman saw it, he couldn't help frowning: This is really a "strange thing".
It was carried over by two giants, and the aircraft with a length of more than ten meters didn't look that big in the hands of the giants. This silver-white strange thing is an obvious mechanical creation. It has a metal shell, half of which looks like a spaceship, and the other half looks like an amputated insect. There are a lot of messy accessories hanging on the outside of this thing, but the most striking thing is Huge holographic subtitles constantly projected on its surface.
The left side of the subtitle reads "Don't shoot your own people", the right side reads "Calm down, don't be cheap", and the middle line of large characters scrolls and broadcasts "The Goddess of Creation asked me to bring you a sentence"...
The last line of big characters is the most important reason for all guardian giants to restrain their desire to fire: they all know that their mother has the title of "Goddess of Creation" among mortals.
"It suddenly appeared on the battlefield, followed by a lot of Corruptors chasing soldiers, but it was incredibly flexible and ran faster than anyone else, so it was never caught up," the orderly said with a confused face. "Our automatic fire almost sifted it, but the shields on the thing held up the first hit, and then our fighters saw this... Caption."
The young guardian adjutant looked at Salaman with a strange tone: "This is...another force?"
Salaman looked at this strange silver-white aircraft with some curiosity. His deep-set eye sockets were as quiet as water, making it impossible to guess what the elderly guardian giant was thinking. The adjutant couldn't help but said: "This is indeed the text we use, but the technology used by this... machine is completely unfamiliar, and it is impossible for a new race with such advanced technology to appear out of nowhere in the universe." We don't know it at all..."
"But it's here, and it's trying to connect with us," Salaman interrupted the adjutant, raising a hand, then he came to the strange machine and bent down, "I can feel , something is looking at me through it. If you or who you are, if you want to talk, now is the time."
Sure enough, the strange silver-white machine trembled immediately. It seemed to have lost its power before being carried by two giants. In the next second, it was revived with blood and floated into the air by itself. the sound of:
"Look, look, I'm just saying, hanging these subtitles will definitely work-curiosity can't be controlled, and neither can the Guardian Giants."
Then there was a female voice: "But the drone was attacked at the beginning."
"Uh, it's unavoidable. I think it's automatic fire, or it's too late to react. Anyway, the drone is holding it."
"All right, all right, what you say makes sense."
Salaman's eyebrows raised involuntarily: There seems to be more than one person behind this strange machine, and this way of talking... seems a bit unorthodox? Isn't the person on the opposite side a soldier
"Who are you?" the old giant asked, frowning.
There was a series of strange noises inside the weird machine, and then its front end suddenly lit up, and a holographic image appeared in front of Salaman.
A man with a happy smile on his face and a woman with a calm temperament appear in the picture.
Immediately after the screen flashed, another small creature with a fish tail jumped out from below. She seemed to hit the camera with her head, and then slipped down slipperily for the first time.
Salaman: "..."
The old giant felt that he had never encountered such a strange thing since he was born.
"You can call me Hao Ren, this is Vivienne Ansesta," Hao Ren was also observing the Guardian Giant that appeared on the screen, but he did not forget to introduce himself, "We are observers."
"Observer?" The old giant repeated the strange word, "You can be called Salaman—where did you come from? What is your purpose?"
"You are engaged in a war, and we are here to help," Hao Ren said bluntly. After seeing the change in the expression on the guardian giant's face, he did not give the other a chance to speak. "Please don't interrupt in a hurry. I know no one would trust a group of dubious elements out of thin air—before I get into specifics, I have something to show you."
The holographic image switched, and what was presented to Salaman immediately was the scuffle that happened not long ago around the Nakdar continent.
Of course, these images have been edited, and the entry methods, secret operations, specific scale, and delivery speed of the drone swarms have been properly hidden, but Salaman can still clearly see the tide of the armed unmanned army of the Corruptor Legion. The process of being completely swallowed in front of the machine.
As a legion commander who has been fighting corrupt monsters for thousands of years, this scene gave the old giant an inexplicable feeling—he was pleased that those corrupt monsters were completely wiped out, but he was also a little sad, after all, those corrupt monsters Once a member of the Guardians, they were supposed to be purified by the Guardian Legion.
In the second half of the video, Salaman saw something familiar.
"That's... Nakdar's temple complex?"
"You recognized it," the battlefield video ended, and Hao Ren's image reappeared on the holographic projection, "That is indeed Nakdar, and this battle also revolves around Nakdar's fragments: those mutant monsters tried to destroy Nakdar. Dar Continent, but I was blocked by my drone army. I also came into contact with the goblins on Nak Dar Continent because of this accidental aid. From their mouths, I learned about the mutated monster. Intelligence, and the war that is taking place deep in this galaxy."
"What we want to say is that you are not the only ones fighting these corrupted monsters," Vivienne finally said at this time, "We are hunting down this evil force in the entire universe."
Salaman was silent for a long time, and finally said: "What are you going to do?"
Hao Ren: "I will provide you with a cooperation plan."
