This peculiar communication did not last very long, but the touch it brought to Salaman was unprecedented.
After completing its mission, the weird unmanned machine slowly became transparent in front of the giant's eyes, and then its energy reaction left the defense platform, and headed straight for the battlefield—a few minutes later, light from that direction There was a small flame, which obviously blew itself up.
And a small metal box with a square of ten centimeters remained in place. Salaman carefully pinched this "little thing" that seemed to him to be about the size of gravel with two fingers. He saw that this thing projected Some text: "This is our communicator - but it may be a little small for you, don't worry about these details, just use it."
Salaman put the gadget away expressionlessly, and the adjutant next to him couldn't help but asked, "Master, are you going to believe this stranger's words?"
"The Guardian Legion will cooperate with the drone legion's next action," Salaman said in a deep voice, "We will face the Corruptor on the frontal battlefield."
"But those drones come from a strange force," the young adjutant frowned, "'Observer'? I have never heard of such a civilization or organization in the universe. The images we see are indeed them and The scene of the Corruptor fighting, but this image is not necessarily real, even if it is a fragment of Nakdal—it may be a fake they pieced together from other places."
Another Giant grumbled, "But the goblins are with them, and I know the little one with the long hair..."
"This is evidence, but not sufficient." The young adjutant emphasized.
Salaman raised his hand and interrupted the entanglement of his subordinates on this issue: "There are two points that you have overlooked.
"The first point, I never said that I trust this strange force that suddenly appeared, but it is only natural for us to face the Corruptor on the frontal battlefield, even if there is no 'observer' that suddenly appeared, That's what we've been doing, are we going to back off when those freaks attack, in order to guard against those drones
"The second point, whether we trust it or not, it is a fact that a powerful legion is active in this galaxy, and it is also a fact that they are coming. We cannot ignore it, but we must find a way to verify it. We must understand this observation The next battle will be the best test of what the attacker and his army are up to. If it is a friend, then we are very lucky. If it is an enemy, it is better for them to show up proactively than to hide in the dark all the time."
Seeing the thoughtful expression of the adjutant, Salaman breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the battlefield that had come to an end—another wave of attacks by the Corruptors was over. The ultra-long-range fire support from Agudal and the strength of the hub itself The fortifications withstood this round of attacks, and those monsters are slowly receding after leaving thousands of wreckage and the evil atmosphere permeating the universe, but so are the remains of the guardians and the destroyed defense facilities. Floating on the battlefield, this makes people feel no joy of victory, but only endless exhaustion and depression.
"The creatures corroded by that evil force will not keep such clear eyes." The old giant whispered.
After the communication was hung up, Hao Ren also let out a sigh of relief, returned to that lazy posture and collapsed on the seat, as lazy as a dead dog.
Vivian stepped forward and pinched his shoulder: "Do you think they will trust us and cooperate?"
Hao Ren half-closed his eyelids: "They may not believe it, but they will definitely cooperate."
"So sure?"
"Obviously, those corrupted monsters are constantly attacking the guardian's line of defense. The guardian army must resist, and what we want them to do is to invest more troops in the next battle, and at the same time use Agudal to attract them. The enemy's attention—this is what they have been doing. This communication is not so much about inviting the army commander to assist in the battle, but rather about recognizing each other's faces, and then agreeing on a password for throwing a cup to prevent a fight It was just a mistake of time."
"Sometimes I really don't know whether your heartless appearance is real or just pretending. Don't you think through all these things thoroughly, and you still look like 'I'm really stupid'," Vivienne Bai He glanced at Hao Ren, then slapped him twice on the back, "Get up, I'll sit here—you give me a pinch instead."
"By the way, where did those three goblins go? Why did they disappear when they turned their faces away?"
"I saw them with Doudou just now, maybe I'm going to explore again. It's okay, I can't lose it. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in this place, and there are terminals following them."
A large-scale military mobilization is going on quietly.
The security circle of the Nakdal base group has been expanded to three times the original size, and the inside of the security circle is full of gravitational well generators and space rift monitoring devices. All hyperspace transitions that try to directly enter the security circle will be blocked. The jump behavior near the warning circle will also trigger the alarm at the first time-under the protection of these security facilities, the Nakdar area has become a real "forbidden place".
In the depths of the layers of drone turrets and outposts, there are nests and factories that cannot be ascertained in number and scale. Countless armed drones mobilize and gather in their depths, but the outside is completely The real situation of these transfers is unclear.
No one knows what the drones are doing except the owner of this base group.
In the next two or three days, the crazy minions really made several more attempts. Six groups of reconnaissance troops of different sizes tried to enter the drone blockade to find out the situation in this base and fortress group. , two groups of troops were captured by the gravitational trap when they tried to jump into the security circle forcibly. Patrol outside the blockade, and after several failed breakthroughs, they were torn to pieces by the swarming fleet of aircraft—although the last wave of reconnaissance troops was so large that they almost broke through, the heavy armed drones that followed up supported them stopped they.
The commanders of the corrupted monsters have obviously been enraged, and at the same time, they have become extremely vigilant. The increasingly powerful investigation shows that their fear and hostility towards these drones has reached its peak, especially when the drones Under the premise that the base is tightly sealed and it is impossible to ascertain the internal situation at all, this kind of fear and hostility should have brewed a strong "uneasiness".
If monsters really have such emotions.
They should indeed be disturbed, because in fact the core area of the Nakdal base group has been "emptied" at this moment.
The six main lairs have long since disappeared, and a large number of heavy drone processing factories have also been transferred to other places through hyperspace transitions in the past two days. Command posts and production facilities, large and small, have left this place one after another. All that remains are tens of thousands of construction skeletons and long-abandoned space anchors—and millions of armed drones ready to go into battle as the second echelon.
These armed drones were densely arranged in clusters like a phalanx waiting to be inspected, and they gathered in the empty old base site. They turned off the lights and engines, and they were silent as if they were dead, only some inspectors Drones occasionally pass between these phalanxes, and the lights they emit will cause limited responses from standby drones, which makes people realize that these fleets floating quietly in the dark space are actually just dormant, waiting for war Start.
A silver-white battleship slowly passed in front of the fleet. Behind the silver-white battleship was a continent floating in the universe: this continent was now plunged into darkness, and those artificial lights that had been shining for thousands of years were all extinguished. , only one or two temples in the core area were still slightly lit up, as if it was night.
Nolan's figure appeared on the bridge: "Nakdar Fortress has entered the blackout, and the self-inspection of each system has just passed. At this time, the engine group is being warmed up. The goblins are staying underground now. Doudou and a large A pile of self-discipline machines to play with them, it is still obedient for the time being."
Hao Ren nodded and turned to look at Vivian: "To be honest, I think the effect will be better if you go down. You, the queen, still have a lot of prestige among the elves. You will make them more obedient."
"I think I have to get used to it..." Vivienne clutched her forehead, "I never thought in my life that I would be pushed to be a queen one day—and to be a queen to a group of such creatures. I have no interest at all." No, I don't even know what this 'Queen' status that descended from the sky is for... It would be great if the Goddess of Creation left me an instruction book."
"Okay, it's useless to think about it, why don't you wait until you meet the legion commander named Salaman and ask about it. Those guardian giants have been guarding the X star cluster for 10,000 years, and they still guard the crystal planet. Maybe they What will you know—after all, the crystal planet was left to you by the goddess of creation."
Vivienne nodded, and changed the subject: "The reconnaissance troops of those monsters are appearing more and more frequently."
"Monsters don't have much patience. It's unexpected that they can act rationally to this point. I'm afraid the next step will be a real attack," Hao Ren said, looking at the army of drones that were waiting in order in the universe, " They don't think about the real organizational form and 'reproduction mode' of the drone swarm—there is no so-called 'main base' and 'base camp' at all, and their gathering here is just a temporary phenomenon."
"However, you forcibly created the illusion of a base camp," Vivian smiled. "Those monsters will think that this is the base camp of the drone swarm, and then attack this place aggressively, but there is only one big one left for them." surprise'."
"That's called art, the art of war. Of course it can also be called technical support."
Vivian pinched Hao Ren, "You're so limp now."
"Aren't you still as happy as I was when you made the plan?"
Vivienne rolled her eyes and didn't answer, but Nolan suddenly said, "The engine set of Nakdal Fortress has been warmed up, and the anchor can be lifted at any time."
Hao Ren put away the joking expression on his face: "Then... let's go."
