The appearance of the fallen apostles in the macro world is unexpected, which is completely inconsistent with their usual rules of action and active areas. According to the information we have now, the territories of the fallen apostles are basically located within the broken frontiers of the old empire. It's easy to expose. In the current situation where the empire and the star field are joining forces and setting up kaboo posts everywhere in the void, the fallen apostles also know how to restrain themselves.
And each member world of the macro world is basically far away from the active area of the fallen apostles, even if it is closer to the dangerous area, it is surrounded by heavy guards from the empire. It can be said that despite the huge system of the macro world, they are the least susceptible to the invasion of fallen apostles.
But this time the enemy just appeared, and in a place far away from their daily active area.
Sivis has already ordered the Sixth Army to dispatch two squadrons to that place for reinforcements. If the number of fallen apostles is as small as the report shows, two squadrons are enough to deal with the situation, and more than enough. At the same time, we also contacted several local macroworld reviewers. It is more gratifying that the situation in the local universe is still very stable. The activities of the fallen apostles outside the world barrier have not yet affected the balance in the universe. Although some constant disturbances have occurred on the edge of the world barrier, the indigenous inhabitants of those universes still know nothing about it. Those are the three worlds with relatively low technological levels. The most advanced civilization has just completed the exploration of the universe, and has not yet advanced to the point where it can detect the existence of the void and other worlds. This is more or less good news: ignorance is Blessings, they don't need to panic—as long as the fallen apostles haven't torn apart their world barrier.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please... May I ask what we can do now? What countermeasures are there? Or preparations for work..." On the communicator, a middle-aged man wearing office workers' clothes and a little bald said nervously. Said. He is the examiner of one of the three worlds that issued the alarm, and he was also the first to issue the alarm. It can be said that he is a very cautious and vigilant "employee".
We all know that macroworld inspectors are basically natives of the local world, and whether they can become inspectors has nothing to do with their identities in the local world, as long as they can complete the most basic tasks, and they are familiar with and abide by the space-time administration Many inspectors are like this one, an ordinary mortal, who may have accepted the transformation of the imperial technology, and has a lot of advanced equipment that is unknown in the local world, but they usually still use it. Those who want to live their own lives, go to work, take care of the family, or go to school, have sex, etc... This is an office worker in front of me, who usually goes to work honestly, writes reports, takes the children home with his wife, and can secretly contact after the children fall asleep The aliens have discussed world peace, and the middle-aged uncle can also be the protagonist in a bloody story.
This uncle must be talking to such a high-level leader of the empire for the first time—perhaps thanks to the blessings of those fallen apostles—he is very nervous now, and his forehead is already shiny.
"There is nothing you can do to help right now," Sandora said lightly, "You don't understand that the fallen apostles are not enemies that the inspectors and local outposts can deal with. What they need is a real war confrontation...you and Your colleagues continue to be vigilant and report to the Space-Time Administration anytime what happens outside the barrier of the local world. There will be a group of reinforcements arriving in your world in about three hours, and the commander of that force will contact you. Pay attention Avoid ordinary people. I checked the information, you are an experienced inspector, and you have several very good mission records, and you did a good job this time, complete the mission well."
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!" The slightly bald middle-aged uncle immediately said confidently. At this moment, he finally had the momentum of an imperial employee, and then heard a faint female voice coming from the communicator: "Three What are you howling in the middle of the night! The child is sleeping! After the report, hurry to take a shower and roll over to sleep, tomorrow I have to accompany you to save the world!"
I was delighted when I heard it, and there is a high probability that it is his wife, and she is an "insider". Considering the system of the Space-Time Administration, the inspector in front of me, who looks like a civilian, is still a husband and wife team. of
"That's my wife..." the uncle said awkwardly, "She didn't know that she would have the opportunity to report directly to His Majesty today... Oh, I shouldn't bring up things that have nothing to do with work..."
I guess the grass-roots employees would be so nervous when they are directly summoned by the group boss, but we don't care about it, and on the contrary, I think this simple and honest uncle in front of me is quite friendly, usually I have seen too many idol boys who save the world at the age of fourteen and dragon slayer warriors who can defeat the devil in a thirty-minute pose. I really don’t know that this middle-aged uncle who is wearing a suit and tie and has bronchitis is also doing it. What does it feel like to be the same as those protagonists, I always feel...
Once you accept this setting, it is actually quite emotional
Hanging up the communication with the local prosecutor, I also jumped out of the association of "the middle-aged uncle Xieding is the hot-blooded boy protagonist", and continued to focus on the current business. Pandora and Hueska have already gone to discuss the battle plan with Sivis. Although these two little lunatics have never had any plans, they are the generals of the Empire after all, and their enthusiasm for work at this time is still unprecedentedly high. I looked at Miss Lin next to me: I asked my sister when I was undecided about internal affairs, and asked Lin Xue when I was undecided about external affairs. This is my good habit.
"Wait a minute," the eldest lady rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, "I just finished patrolling the spiritual network, and now I'm waiting for the CD."
"Dad, I'll come." Xiaoxue finally found the value of her existence, and switched to the prophecy mode in an instant. Although her power is not mature enough compared to Lin Xue, the eldest lady is waiting for the skill CD, and we also We can only see how this half-assed prophet behaves.
After a while, Xiaoxue slowly opened her eyes, the white light in her eyes flashed, she took a breath, as if the prediction result was not very optimistic.
"There are scenes of large-scale battles. If the war starts, the enemy will quickly send additional reinforcements. It seems that they will not let their small army be strangled by the empire. We'd better attack the enemy in separate waves, The results can be extended."
Sandora nodded, "No matter how many of them there are, since they have come, they must fight back, otherwise it is not my style—Xiaoxue has done a good job, and now I am notifying the rest of the Sixth Army to be on standby. Soldiers, we put more troops in their rear."
It's very Xiling's unique idea, and this is exactly what I mean. We can now fight the fallen apostles head-on, as long as we can ensure that the foundation of the new empire is not shaken, which is not stable enough. And this battle will have other meanings: the empire is fighting fiercely with the invaders on the edge of the macro world, we must win, and then ensure that the absolute authority of the empire in the macro world is more stable.
The new empire may still not be as powerful as the fallen apostles, but we don't have to be as cautious as when we didn't even have a base at the beginning. If it is on the border of the empire, we will accompany any large-scale war. No matter what the enemy's purpose is, since it's here...
Then leave it.
Thanks to the high-speed jump function of the macro world network, the reinforcements sent from Shadow City arrived at their destination on the same day. Wandering outside the barrier, neither leaving nor launching an attack, instead wandering around as if looking for something.
The second piece of intelligence was less optimistic: the enemy had detected a fleet movement from the Empire. This is not surprising, after all, they are now attached to the world barriers of those three worlds, and the imperial fleet has entered the corresponding universe in large numbers. As long as the fallen apostles are not blind, they should have seen it a long time ago—and we didn't mean to act secretly in the first place. This large-scale military mobilization cannot be kept secret.
According to outpost intelligence, three fallen apostles' void reconnaissance ships have disappeared from the radar view of the frontline troops, while other enemy warships have gathered in the void and have stopped their activities.
The reconnaissance ships entered a highly concealed state, and the combat ships stopped wandering and began to concentrate. This was a provocative signal.
The enemy's message is clear: we know you are coming, and you are ready.
If there were only this batch of spaceships detected now, then the actions of the fallen apostles would be a little too confident, so Xiaoxue's judgment was correct: the enemy did not choose to retreat after discovering the imperial army, but directly attacked from their rear. Reinforcements were called in. Both sides also have the way of thinking of the apostles of Xiling. In the face of war, the enemy has no intention of shrinking.
The two sides seemed to be on the verge of a fight like this, because twelve hours later, there was another military report from the macro world: the reinforcements of the fallen apostles had arrived, and the number faintly exceeded the number of the imperial army's deployment.
When this information was delivered to us, Sandora and I and the others happened to be at the headquarters. Although it was almost late at night outside, it was considered a time for everyone to rest on weekdays, but we were still waiting here, ready to deal with it. The military intelligence report that was destined to come. Xiaoxue was lying on the alloy conference table, with her forehead resting on the back of her hands, her head dangling and dozing off. She was the only one among the children in the family who was allowed not to sleep at this time, because she claimed that she was sixteen when she was sixteen years old. He is already an official officer. Seeing the girl dozing off now, I have some doubts about this statement.
As a general of the empire, Pandora had to sleep obediently before ten o'clock in the evening - of course, a large part of the reason was that the 1.2 meter little war madman was useless in tactics at all. If she didn't sleep, she would be left with a hug I was so happy watching my baby Pimple Cannon there.
Sandora looked at the information in front of her, and took two seconds to make a decision: one and a half seconds was because she was swallowing a small cake for supper: "The Sixth Army can go on the road, continue to increase troops until the war begins. The second The Legion and the First Legion are on standby. I have a hunch that this battle will not be small, and now we urgently need a battle of this scale, so as to find out the current combat effectiveness of the Fallen Apostles and the size of the Legion. It has been a long time since we have fought with those The guy is coming to a big battle head-on, which is not a good thing for the civilization of war, and it is easy to get black eyes."
After finishing speaking, Sandora threw the second piece of snack into her mouth: "Think about it, since the last time we fought head-on with the fallen apostles, the new empire has added more than a dozen worlds directly under its jurisdiction, and the macro world has expanded by 100% Three, and we have also formed a new mysterious side legion, and made a mixed adaptation of the six legions at the same time. We have all made such great progress, what will happen to the fallen apostles?"
So we need a war. This is the race of war, progress, testing progress, all based on war.
"I think we're going to go there in person now," I said, looking at the simulated view representing the border of the macroworld. The three warning points on it had become violently flashing red lights, and each warning point was marked with the level of military conflict and possible The scope of the spread, more imperial warships are on the way, and there will be a big battle on the farthest border of the empire. The scale may reach the level where we need to go out in person. "And I think it's time for those legal units to show up."
This is not a whimsical idea. As early as when Alleria began to use those ancient royal starships to form the first regular legion on the mysterious side, I had the idea that in the next war, I would invest the power of the mysterious department The idea of the battlefield. There are three reasons for this: first, we cannot hide the power of the mysterious side forever, and the fallen apostles also have their own intelligence network, and their investigation and harassment of the border of the empire have never stopped. The fact that they are also conducting mysterious research has already attracted their attention. The other party is just not sure how far the New Empire has progressed in this area. Maybe they still think that they have the upper hand as before. Second, any army is meant to be used for fighting, not for keeping - especially for war races. Now that the power of the mysterious side has begun to take shape, it should be pulled out for a while, at least to test how powerful they are on the actual battlefield. We can't hide them as treasures just because this part of combat power is precious, and we want to wait until this army becomes the price of cabbage before pulling it into the battlefield. I estimate that the person who has this idea will be the first to be shot by the officers on the mysterious side in turn. This is an insult to their souls, and it is probably second only to scolding Sandora and me in front of them. third…
The third one hasn’t made up my mind yet, I just said yes… just because it’s very imposing, um, that’s it.
"...Well, it seems that this is an unavoidable situation now, why not take this opportunity to test their strength," Sandora nodded after a moment of pondering, "The Sixth Army has completed the reorganization, and now they have three points One of the soldiers is a spellcaster, and the mothership also carries a large number of small warships on the mysterious side. If these units suddenly appear in the late battle, it will definitely be enough for the fallen apostle. Well, I agree. But this time I can't I went to the battlefield with you."
Sandora said with a little regret. "I'm very worried that the Fallen Apostles will take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Imperial Army is transferred to the far-flung borders, and launch a surprise attack on the mainland. It's not a day or two for them to be cunning."
In the end, our staffing is like this: Shandora and Lin Xue will stay at home, and my elder sister, Xiaoxue, and I will follow the follow-up troops of the Sixth Fleet to support the remote frontier, and at the same time, we will also bring along people including the admiral of the empire. Most of the Royal Fleet, including HMS. Bring a prophet on both sides, so that the chance of accidents is minimized. As for Qianqian—she was awkward for a long time, and finally had to stay with Sandora (and of course all the little ones in the family, as well as Lilina). Although this girl is used to following me around all day long, Lin Xue made a vague prophecy this time, which showed that staying on the mainland side of the empire would have unexpected effects.
... It's a little unaccustomed to go out without Qianqian, has this girl become my battle baby
When the fleet set off, there were a few additional combat forces who volunteered to join in. These guys did not exceed our expectations at all: the five-member protoss scorpion.
These guys have been bored at home for a long time, Bingtis has just been released from the hell of the aunt, these guys with excess energy urgently need a place to exercise their muscles, so the rogue gang headed by Bingtis ignored the fleet commander , which is my opinion, swaggered aboard the Imperial Admiral. Coupled with the jingle that is almost bound to the equipment in my pocket, this staffing...
Forget it, each time the staffing is basically the same as the machine.
I came to the officer's rest area of the Imperial Admiral, which is adjacent to the command center and is a place for senior officers to rest. I have my own room here, and it is almost time to rest. I will spend the night on the spaceship, probably tomorrow. Can match up with the fallen apostles. The child Xiaoxue was very excited when she got on the spaceship, but now it was getting late, but she was still jumping up and down at the command center as a "military guide", completely gone from the dozing off in Shadow City just now . Of course, it cannot be said that the child is making trouble. As a prophet, she does have the responsibility to give instructions before every action begins, and no matter what-she received an elite education, she is a real commander, even more than Her father is still professional, so let her be busy.
I threw myself in the big hole of the habitat, thanks to the artificial gravity and simulated environment, at least from the senses, sleeping here is no different from sleeping in my bedroom at home.
Except that the cold silver-gray metal cabin around it is a bit uncomfortable.
The voice of the shipboard main engine sounded from the broadcasting system in the cabin: "The spaceship has passed through the shadow space barrier... out of the order layer... out of the world barrier... into the void navigation mode. The current main machine is conducting automatic navigation."
"The broadcasting frequency has been lowered by two levels. I'm going to take a rest." I casually said to the management system of the cabin, and the lights in the room gradually dimmed.
He took out Ding Dong, who was half asleep and half awake, from his pocket, and put it in the small biscuit box specially prepared for her by the bedside, but this guy probably still got into the lampshade habitually in the middle of the night... Well, never mind .
Soon, I felt sleepy.
A voice came from a very far away place, but it seemed to sound directly in his mind.
"Did you see... the gate I left behind?" RS
