Xiaoxue was replaced by Miss Lin at nearly nine o'clock in the evening. When she appeared in front of us, she was really wronged and wronged. As soon as she showed up, she hung on my arm and howled dryly: "Dad, take care of your wife!"
Her movement was so loud that the whole living room became silent immediately: including the little crow that was biting the sofa cushion. I patted Xiaoxue on the head: "Your mother hasn't been here yet—how did you feel this long time?"
Xiaoxue threw herself on the sofa, and the silly bird sitting next to her was bounced to the ground: "I never went to grandpa's house again before I was born, my God, I have never seen such a talkative person —Do you know how many heads of state my grandfather had cordial conversations with before he was twenty-five years old? Fortunately, Kennedy died early, or he must have been beaten by my grandfather in a coffee shop... "
For those of us who just learned about Papa Lin’s weird habit from Miss Lin, what Xiaoxue was talking about was not unusual at all. I picked up the little crow from the ground and patted the dirt, saying, “Just now I Talking about this matter with Lin Xue, don’t tell me, what your grandfather said is probably 40% to 50% credible—don’t forget that the Lin family has a great career, um, at least it’s a big family on Earth.”
Early the next morning, Sandora and I went to Shadow City first. Although there are no specific matters that need the two of us to ask in person, there is still one thing that needs to be confirmed—how is the situation of Bella Villa? . The time limit for her free activities is 24 hours each time, that is to say, she can stay awake until 6:30 this evening. Sandora and I are going to talk to her about establishing the Spellcaster Legion. But before I got to the military blockade, I saw a scene where I couldn't calm down no matter what:
Near the gate of the Shadow Fortress leading to the military buffer zone, a feral royal lady is lying on the parapet bored. The upper body of this royal lady is a beautiful woman in a cool vest, and the lower body is a ferocious mechanical scorpion. The back of the scorpion You can see the bright red number one on the armor... Well, this is Vega, but it is very inconsistent. This is a listless and muttering Vega.
You know, Vega usually gives people the impression that she is always full of energy. She is always full of confidence and maintains the energy needed to perform tasks. evaluation), Vega is still a bit of an optimist. I've never seen her in a bad mood—even without the helium concentrate for three days.
But now this Sister Scorpion, who has never been unhappy, is lying on the parapet outside the base like Shuang Daeggplant. Even the tail hangs limply on the ground. Paddle the ground round and round.
What made Sandora and I even think that we were hallucinating was that when we got closer, we actually saw a rose flower in Vega's hand that I didn't know where she got, and she was going to it one by one. She was tearing off the petals while muttering about something... And at her feet, there were already almost two square meters of rose petals piled up.
"Why is this scene full of instant sight... Is it possible that this guy finally ushered in spring... He was confessed by a large male arthropod?" I muttered dumbfounded, and ran quickly with Sandora. "Vega! Are you resting today?"
"She won, I'm hallucinating. She won, I'm hallucinating. She won..." Sister Scorpion was still muttering to herself, and she suddenly turned around as if she was frightened after hearing my cry. Suddenly, the six mechanical sharp feet made a sharp sound on the alloy floor, and amidst the sound of metal collisions, she gave a military salute to Sandora and me, and said nervously: "Sir... sir! I'm very sorry, the subordinate was not focused just now! Willing to accept... "
"Okay, okay, it's off-duty time now, don't be so nervous," I waved to Vega with my neck up. Talking face-to-face with this two-meter-tall Sister Scorpion is really a very psychologically stressful thing , "I said, what's wrong with you?"
While I was talking, I glanced at a large piece of rose petals on the ground intentionally or unintentionally, and there were bare flower branches scattered around. There was a small white card between these things, and the card was written with beautiful flowers. There are four words written in his handwriting: Gemini Flower Shop.
"Oh, you went to help the poor?" I raised my eyebrows and said subconsciously, but as soon as the words fell, Sandora kicked herself from behind calmly—well, I admit, it is true that Assi said so Da sisters are not very polite...
"This... this is just a whim, I heard it can relieve psychological pressure," Wei Jia explained in an unprecedentedly shy manner, "Yesterday I encountered a little trouble, and my subordinates think it's best to try it yourself before going back to the factory for repairs." Overhaul...”
"Overhaul?" Sandora laughed dumbfounded, pointing to the flower branch in Vega's hand, "Use this? What happened to you?"
Sandora asked in person, so Wei Jia had no choice but to speak honestly, with a frustrated look on her face: "Last night, my subordinates were patrolling near the B-3 gate in the Eastern District. The time was 11:26, and the military The area is completely locked down…”
Sandora and I had a vague premonition at the same time.
"Then I saw Raven 001, an undisciplined guy coming from the urban area, not only exceeded the time for the Raven troops to return to the team, but also had a lot of messy things hanging on her body. Whistling, throwing ball lightning around...the subordinates stopped her, and then...there was some customary confrontation."
What Vega calls "habitual conflict" is not new to us. It is a daily phenomenon between all ravens and armored scorpions. It usually starts with mutual sarcasm and evolves into a less intense fight. It was a rare moment of relaxation in the relatively boring Imperial team, but judging from Vega's current performance, the habitual conflict last night hurt her self-esteem.
"I was stunned for a moment ..." Wei Jia cried, and turned around "Ka Ka Ka" to stretch his tail in front of me, and attached to the deck at the tip of the tail. Burned a line of small characters with arcane power... Then the subordinates rose up to resist and bravely fought, and that's it..." Vega turned around again as he spoke, and showed us the attached plate on the other side of the lower body, which is close to the position of the mechanical arthropod There is also a line of small characters with the same technique... Sandora and I looked at the dejected Vega with great sympathy, thinking that the world view of this scorpion girl was overturned...
"Why?" Vega sighed, as if life had become gloomy, and then continued to destroy the last rose in his hand. "She won, I hallucinated, she won, I hallucinated, she won..."
Well, this time I finally know what Vega was mumbling about just now.
It's no wonder that Sister Scorpion was so shocked, because what happened was indeed beyond her comprehension. Although the armored scorpion and the raven are almost the same arms in terms of combat effectiveness. But in fact, Raven is basically at a disadvantage in all kinds of squabbles on weekdays. This is because the two sides cannot really fight seriously. At best, they could only make small-scale provocations, and no one near their own base could use big moves—so Raven, who was good at long-range combat and large-scale attacks, was directly abolished, and the armored scorpion happened to be best at small It can be said that as long as the target is within the range of their charge, they will not be able to escape their machetes. With Raven's limited maneuverability compared to ordinary soldiers, it can fight against armored scorpions in close combat... So even though In most cases, it was the raven who took the initiative to provoke the stupid armored scorpion. But the result is that the former is basically beaten by the latter.
In a "confrontation" last night, Vega was killed twice by Raven 001...
It stands to reason that even Bella Villa occupies Raven 001's body. The latter is also limited by physical strength and it is impossible to exert the strength of the former, but as a Xiling Emperor. To bully a scorpion soldier at the level of a high-ranking commander does not need to show much strength at all. Bella Vila took out her amazing combat experience accumulated over tens of millions of years, and two or three achievements are enough to toss Vega, and I am 100% sure of her An important reason for teasing Vega is that he was influenced by the soul of Raven 001 in his body, and the latter has extremely deep resentment towards Sister Scorpion.
"Then what, Vega, don't get lost, it's actually like this..." Sandora and I exchanged glances, and I decided to tell Sister Scorpion the truth, otherwise I might not be able to do it because of the awkwardness of the other party. How long did he struggle with, and after hearing the truth of the matter, Weijia's face suddenly cleared up: "Ah, it turned out to be like this, no wonder that slippery guy suddenly became so powerful. Then... sir, in the future, will Chief Bella Villa Are you going to occupy Raven 001's body frequently?"
Although usually there are always conflicts, Weijia and Raven 001 are a pair of different kind of bad friends in my eyes. They belong to the type that meets and fights but misses each other. If one of them can’t appear in half the time from now on In front of oneself, the other party will be more or less disappointed. But I quickly dispelled Vega's concerns: "Don't worry, Bella Villa will replace her borrowed body every time. There are so many ravens in mass production, and there is no telling when it will be 001's turn next time. You two can Continue to fall in love and kill each other—by the way, let me remind you, the time for Bella Villa to release her possessed state is 6:30 tonight... "
Wei Jia nodded happily, and snapped a military salute: "Yes, this subordinate understands!" Me: "..."
This guy understands what I say? Why did I suddenly feel that I had accidentally tricked that hapless raven
We said goodbye to Miss Scorpion, who was suddenly full of energy and was about to go to the maintenance center to re-polish her carapace. According to the guidance of the spiritual connection, we found Bella Villa. She did not stay in Sylvia's shop, but at Raven Hatchery (the production center for the mass production of ravens, because ravens have always been nicknamed "crows" by us, so this production center is simply called the hatchery, and until now, this has even become the official name here) Staying with her mass-produced replicas at the Crystal Plaza in front of her.
The Raven Hatchery is a structure composed of three huge cuboid buildings. Between the three cuboid buildings, due to the long-term influence of arcane surges and other radiations, a large area of bright and luxuriant crystals grows. Therefore, the large area in front of this building The open space is also called the Crystal Plaza, and it is usually the place where the ravens gather and rest. When Sandora and I arrived, all the ravens who had no mission had already gathered here. Neatly arranged in a square formation, they are listening to Bella Villa's lecture.
"... Therefore, the Spellcaster Legion will be formed in the near future, but due to the shortage of manpower and you are free enough, I decided to select some people to serve as temporary commanders of the Spellcaster Legion, so you will soon have the opportunity to proudly lead the new recruits. Now Start the preliminaries, keep quiet—forget it. Rows three through five are all out, you get it, there's no top picks anyway... the others disband."
So 60% of the ravens scattered and continued to do what they should do.
I watched my jaw drop to the ground from behind, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Hey! This is also okay?! Is that how you choose people?"
Bella Villa waved her hand without looking back: "What's wrong, all the ravens are copied from the same model, except for a few enhanced commanders. All other functions are the same—ah, you two came together?"
Judging by the habit of speaking. She is still a hybrid of Raven 001 and Bella Villa. And I always feel that the character of Raven 001 has the upper hand—is it because Bella Villa dominates in terms of will and memory, so as a balance, is Raven 001 dominant in terms of personality
"Raven doesn't seem to be suitable for being a commander, does it?" Sandora looked at the group of magical girls flying around in the crystal plaza. The latter was the most lively of all the soldiers in the empire, and the guy who looked the least like an imperial soldier. , I don't know if it's because their mother's soul has mutated, or if all the ravens in the old empire are like this. Anyway, in Sandora's view, such a character is very unsuitable for leading legion construction.
"I have some confidence in these children." Bella Villa said confidently, "They look a little big. In fact, they are very careful and careful. To control the huge arcane energy, it is impossible to control the huge arcane energy without those two points. And more The important thing is—” Bella Vila said, pointing to his head, “Each raven saves part of my experience, and these experiences directly inherited from the soul cannot be input through the combat data on the production line. input into the memory core. 'Xinxiang' produces the most rigid recruits, relying only on the combat instructions recorded in the database, without experienced veterans leading the way, they will die in groups on the battlefield."
"Veterans are precious," Sandora sighed sympathetically, "The 300 surviving commanders of the Alaya Legion and their remaining soldiers have all been incorporated into the reserve legion, but there are still not enough manpower—unexpectedly You have solved it here, why didn't I know that those ravens still inherited your combat experience? They usually don't show it at all, and after they go to the battlefield one by one, they just throw all the spells like a rookie, and throw them at I will be lifted down until the energy is exhausted..."
"Ah, yes, that's my combat experience," Bella Villa nodded logically, "What kind of eyes do you have? It makes sense—ravens are originally long-range turrets, and their survivability is extremely weak, so in the big battlefield The best tactic in the world is to bomb as many enemies as possible while you are still alive-of course, in small-scale conflicts, the raven will use very elegant fighting methods. After all, we and those scorpion soldiers Two routes of…”
So, Bella Villa, who is the king of ravens, is really at odds with the scorpion soldiers
"Speaking of which, when will the soldiers I want appear?" Bella Villa had just made a few points about her general idea of the Spellcaster Legion, when she suddenly remembered another thing, "You said let me help with the construction The new army, but I am now a bare-handed commander, right?"
"You don't have to worry about that," Sandora smiled. "According to the good news from Alleria yesterday, the City of Angels has fully resumed operation, and your first batch of recruits is likely to be the Angel Army."
Bella Vila's eyes lit up immediately: "This is good news—Xiling Angel is very appetizing to me, um, an elegant spellcaster, who can spread energy storms all over the world like a raven... How big is that city of angels? What is the loading capacity of the Wall of Angels?"
Bella Vila asked a very professional question. It seems that after the separation of concepts was lifted, her memory of these things has all been restored. As a professional on the mysterious side, her knowledge of the occult arts in the 15-day area may not be as good. Understand quite deeply.
"I'll pass on the information about the City of Angels to you," Sandora said, "The general situation is that the first batch of about 2,000 newborn cores are slowly maturing on the East Angel Wall. After about three days, these cores will be It can reach the level of being sent to hatch, and a week later, we will have a batch of newborn angels to join the army. In other words, a production cycle of the City of Angels can produce 2,000 soldiers. A cycle is seven days—a comparative Fast production center too."
When I heard this, I was suddenly a little strange: "Produce two thousand soldiers in seven days-is this still relatively fast?"
This is completely incomparable with the production efficiency of the technology side! Didn't it mean that the empire has always followed the route of violent soldiers
I still remember the production speed of the barracks on the technology side. There are six sets of production groups in the hexagonal prism-shaped building, and each production group includes two production lines. That is to say, there are twelve production lines in each barracks. The first production cycle will produce twelve elite soldiers. Under normal circumstances, a barracks operating at full capacity completes a production cycle every 30 minutes. According to a building complex of the size of the City of Angels, there must be at least ten large arsenals, right? The latter is a terrifying thing that can storm 120 heavily armed soldiers every half an hour, and can create an army of tens of thousands of people in two days-it's not a war puppet! It is an imperial soldier who has stronger combat effectiveness and can be promoted to a commander!
In such a conversion... the terrorist soldiers on the technology side seem to directly suppress the production speed on the mysterious side... RQ
