Xiaoxue's ability to come up with this idea was probably brought out by Qianqian when she was a child. Her mobility is greater than the sum of the other brats in the family, Vincent? Carlo just said his identity, this girl ran to find Carter? Carlo, who was in a meeting with other military advisers at the tactical center to analyze the new information revealed in the battle of the Fallen Apostles—then was dragged to the prisoner-of-war camp by Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire.
"Dad, I brought someone here." Xiaoxue put the confused Carter? Carlo dragged it over, and immediately leaned over to me and said, "Although I don't know what she can claim credit for, I still rubbed the girl's head: Otherwise, she could stay here for two hours.
"Carter?" Vincent looked at his younger brother in the uniform of the New Empire. He had just heard that his younger brother was here, but before he had time to think more, the topic was changed. Now he saw the real person appearing with his own eyes. , he finally got over the surprise from thirteen minutes ago, "You were on the last expedition..."
"Same as you," Carter? Carlo was also taken aback, and then quickly figured out what happened. He was overjoyed, and stepped forward to help his weak brother, "I was freed from that nightmare earlier than you... I'm so glad to see that you have also been successfully transformed Well, not everyone is so lucky."
I remembered what Sandora said back then: The apostles of Xiling are not emotionless creatures, they also have the concept of relatives and friends, and when needed, they will also form families or similar social groups. The most common family relationship among Xiling Apostles is "brothers and sisters", and their "family" group is generally quite large: apostles who were born in mass production in a factory often think of other apostles who have come off the production line in the same batch. The apostles are all regarded as brothers and sisters, and the Xiling apostles manufactured by replicating the prototype will regard all the apostles under the same "replication times" as relatives of the same generation. An example of the second situation is the ravens of the New Empire. At present, all ravens are copied from the soul fragments of Bella Vila, the king of ravens. No matter how many copies are made, they belong to the "first round of copying." Therefore, all the ravens in the New Empire are sisters, and they sometimes refer to each other as sisters. Raven 001 is the family sister recognized by all ravens, and Bella Vera and Sylvia are called sisters. Be a mother or a mother.
Carter? Carlo and Vincent? Carlo belongs to the first case. They are the same batch of soldiers who came off the production line in the old empire, so they call each other brothers.
Although calling each other brothers, Carter? Carlo and Vincent? Carlo's current level of authority is different, Vincent has become the supreme commander of the entire fleet, Carter? Carlo is a squadron commander, which is based on the empire's military promotion principle. Now Carter needs to call Vincent "sir" and obey Vincent's orders as a junior officer when performing missions and on the battlefield, but on the other hand, they still maintain a brotherly bond.
This is the unique family relationship in the barracks-like society of the Xiling Empire-it seems a bit unreasonable to ordinary races, and the structure also feels weird, but for the Xiling Apostles themselves, there is nothing more important than this. It suits them.
"Perhaps we should give the two brothers some time to communicate," my sister suddenly touched my arm lightly, and said in a spiritual connection, "It is probably more effective for Carter to explain the situation of the new empire than others."
I nodded, reached out and grabbed Xiaoxue, who was circling around Carter and Vincent restlessly, and kept making random suggestions, and dragged her out of the prison space amidst the girl's dancing protests.
After leaving the Dimensional Prison, we did not return to the bridge immediately, but stopped by the guard post outside the prisoner-of-war camp. My sister looked in the direction of the prison area with a thoughtful expression.
Unlike the "expanded mode" on the surface of the planet, when it is in the "starship mode" inside the Admiral Empire, the prisoner-of-war camp is a compact three-dimensional structure, which forms a sunken bowl shape under the support of structural beams The area has a radius of several kilometers, and more than a dozen hemispherical dimensional prisons are neatly arranged in a circle in the bowl-shaped area. The prison with the highest security level is located in the center of the bowl-shaped area. These dimensional prisons are empty most of the time, and there are very few dangerous creatures worthy of being locked in the prison of the flagship of the Star Alliance Army, and this time, half of these prisons have been activated.
"How many more examples like Carter? Kahlo and Vincent? Kahlo?"
My sister was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke.
I know what she is thinking. This is an unavoidable topic: Today, when the old empire collapsed and the Apostles of Xiling were divided, how many Apostles of Xiling were split into two camps, and how many were fighting on the front line? Soldiers charged on the same battlefield 70,000 years ago? It doesn't take statistics to imagine its sheer magnitude. Carter? Carlo participated in the battlefield command as a senior adviser on today's battlefield. He didn't know that his brother was within the range of his cannon—but even if he knew, he would complete his mission as an imperial soldier.
There is only mission within the range of our guns, and this is the criterion of every Imperial soldier.
Vincent? Carlo is a lucky man, especially for his younger brother. There are also those fallen apostles who were successfully captured and reversed by us together with Vincent are the lucky ones. If my sister hadn't gone out with the army, then we wouldn't be able to capture the enemy's flagship formation. This invasion and defense battle, like most previous battles, will end with the defeat or even complete annihilation of one of the Imperial Army or the Fallen Apostles , there will be no prisoners of war, no survivors, Carter? Carlo would command the fleet of the New Empire to reduce his brother to ashes, whether or not each side knew of the other's existence.
The war between the empire and the fallen apostles has lasted for nearly five years, and it will continue. Compared with the war between the apostles of Xiling and the forces of the abyss that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, it is just an extremely inconspicuous new war History, and the continuation of that period of ancient war - it is still far from the end, the soldiers who used to be fellow countrymen will continue to fight until one of them is completely wiped out, the contradiction between order and disorder is so irreconcilable.
Each of us has learned this years ago, and the Carroll brothers' dangerous "swipe" is just a small embellishment in a long war-its only special feature is that both people are lucky, and just It happened before our eyes, which caused my sister and I to sigh.
"No way, the war has to continue." Xiaoxue blinked her eyes, her eyes swept back and forth between me and my sister, this ice-snow smart girl is not as heartless as she showed, "To be honest, The war between the world of order and the forces of the abyss probably started since the birth of the first world in the void. Even the entire history of the empire is just a long battle in this war. No one can stop it, I I heard my second uncle say this when I was young: No one can stop."
"During your time, the war between the fallen apostles and the empire was still going on?" My heart moved, and I turned my head to look at Xiaoxue. What she said seemed to be revealing something.
"... The war between the empire and the abyss is still going on." Xiaoxue exhaled, said slowly, then closed her mouth cautiously, not revealing anything anymore.
But she revealed a lot of things. I noticed very keenly that when Xiaoxue answered my question, she used the word "Abyss" instead of "Fallen Apostle". There are two explanations for this: first, the abyss and The fallen apostles can be confused to some extent, the war between the empire and the fallen apostles is the war with the abyss; second, the fallen apostles have already withdrawn from the stage of history in the future.
what happened? armistice? Impossible, I don't see any possibility of reconciliation between the New Empire and the Fallen Apostles, and there is not even a normal communication between the two parties. So the fallen apostles were all killed by the future empire with great power
I summed up the strength of the troops at hand, and then thought about the strength of the fallen apostles—well, let’s talk about that unlucky Harlan. The emperor was pulled out, and he was only one of many emperors on the enemy side, and he was probably not the most powerful one. Now the balance between the New Empire and the Fallen Apostles still depends on the checks and balances of the Protoss to barely maintain it... I really don’t think I will be able to show my power before Xiaoxue was born, and develop the New Empire to the point where the Fallen Apostles can be wiped out To a certain degree, of course, if you want to say that those lunatics had brain twitches and stormed the star field with all the troops in the country and were wiped out, it is possible...
Then there is only one last possibility: the fallen apostles all turned off their lights during the cataclysm of the void.
They didn't carry it through.
In theory, this is good news. At this time, I should discuss with my sister to go home and cook two delicious dishes to celebrate the celebration, but the matter of the Carlo brothers is quite troublesome, which makes me dispel this interest.
I looked up at the deep night, here is the interior of the Admiral of the Empire, the holographic device has generated a fake sky on the steel dome, the twilight is picturesque, enough to make ordinary young artists who occasionally get sour—such as me, but I was sore for a long time, and I didn't think of anything to sigh, but I saw two ravens patrolling at night flying around the horoscope dance, looking carefree.
For the Xiling apostles who have evolved in the flames of war, there is nothing to sigh on the battlefield, including death in battle, it is just their daily life.
So I was full of sighs and couldn't find any place to express it, and finally gathered five words in my mind:
"Fucking war..."
Perhaps there is something in the dark that does not want me to sum up such a lofty battle to save the world in three words "fucking". Just after these five words flashed from my mind, an urgent The communication suddenly broke into the highest spiritual link. This emergency communication came from the capital World Command, and it was sent by Sandora herself. It took me a second to jump several meters into the air:
"The Fallen Apostles invaded massively, and the enemy army, Emperor Harlan, marched in person, and the border is in a hurry!!"
"What's wrong with Jun?" My sister came up to me with concern after I landed. It seemed that she didn't receive this urgent message. I didn't have time to explain more, but I just issued an order to Sivis at the first time, ordering the Sixth Fleet and all the subordinate troops to stop the finishing work and return to the interior of the empire at full speed. Then the three breathed evenly, held my sister's hand, and said in a serious tone: "Those grandchildren copied our house..."
sister:"?"
The fleet immediately stopped all missions and prepared to return to the empire at full speed. The only thing I can be thankful for at this time is that I only used the Sixth Fleet to repel the invasion force of the Fallen Apostles instead of taking the other two as planned. The legion was also pulled to the front line—otherwise Sandora would have to face a situation that was several times more severe than it is now. However, according to the news from the capital world, even if the main force of the imperial army basically stays at home, the situation that Sandora is facing is quite dangerous: the fallen emperor Harlan, who has confronted several times, actually marched himself this time, And with a huge force that Sandora could describe as a "massive invasion"!
"The Fallen Apostle is crazy?" When he heard that the empire was raided, even Bingtis, who was out of his mind, couldn't help but marvel. If the Fallen Apostle's invasion of the empire's far frontier could be explained as a misunderstanding caused by the super smugglers of the Fiali Empire, then the behavior of Harlan personally leading the army to storm the empire's border is simply unreasonable. It's getting more and more confusing, the thoughts of the fallen apostles are like the starry sky, this is the rhythm you can see but not understand...
The fleet suddenly left the current universe in large numbers. Of course, it also confused the new guests who had just been dragged back by us (correctly). While I was busy arranging the return of the servant army and remotely commanding the various servant armies in the empire to support the border, Fei Li There was an urgent call from Ruth: in fact she had been requesting communication for fifteen minutes, but because the priority of the outer channel was very low, I didn't receive the message until the royal fleet was ready to sail. As soon as the weird queen appeared on the communicator, she bluffed: "Hey, hey, hey! Emperor Xiling, where are you going? What should we do!? You don't care?"
I almost forgot about these treasures. At this moment, I saw that the three Fiali spaceships had been left alone in space as if they had been forgotten. The civilization community barge that was originally towing them left decisively because of a wartime mission.
These three ships themselves no longer have the ability to sail across the world, and it is certainly impossible for them to follow us back to the Empire District, and I am absolutely not at ease leaving them behind: there may be real treasures hidden in the cargo warehouses of these merchant ships. What baby is coming. After thinking about it, I came up with an idea: "Phyllis, you don't mind going to the warehouse with people and the boat?"
Phyllis had question marks all over her face: "Huh?"
"Forget it, there is no other way anyway—the flagship hangar, empty the three medium-sized grids, and put Fiali's spaceship back!"
Phyllis continued with question marks all over her face: "Huh?"
But she just "ah" for a moment, and then she knew what I meant when I said take it back. Several tractor drones flew out from the lower end of the Admiral Empire's longitudinal arm, locked the three Fiali merchant ships with a force field, turned around and flew towards the Admiral Empire Ganaku , I heard Phyllis jumping around in the communicator, and then the weird Queen began to protest: "What are you doing! You can't do this! Small displacement and small displacement Dignity... Hey! At least be steady... Ah! Warehouse! My stone! My baby! The gem of another world I used to make money! Can't you wait for us to open the inertial stability field?!"
I silently watched the chaotic scene displayed on the communicator screen, and couldn't help reminding: "Your adjutant just rolled off his seat..."
"It's okay, she's in good health—my rock!!!"
I:"… "
Well, I didn’t expect the inertial stabilization field of the Fiali merchant ship to start so slowly: the function of this thing is to instantly anchor the internal space when the starship suddenly accelerates, decelerates or changes course, so as to prevent the acceleration from causing damage to the personnel and objects in the ship. Generally speaking, civilizations that develop superluminal spaceships will master this technology. Phyllis's side was turned on their backs, and then I found myself in a big basket, because after the queen who wanted money and life dragged her adjutant up from under the table, she was ready to talk to me about compensation No: She thinks she has lost a lot of precious ore.
By the way, her adjutant was also thrown into a flat chest.
... I don't know how her logic works, anyway, I definitely don't have time to argue with this void peddler now, so I can only wave my hands quickly: "Okay, okay, you have the final say, wait for me to deal with the matter at hand." After I'm done working, pack all the goods on your ship and go to the head office? Can you be quiet?"
Satisfied, Phyllis waited for her merchant ship to be placed in the warehouse of the Admiral Empire. This woman's nerves were really strong, even though she saw that the passageway of the Admiral's gantry was larger than her own spaceship. Shi Shi just sighed: "Oh... do you often take other people's spaceships back?"
I find it difficult to explain to her the design idea of the Xiling Apostle to build a starship. For a group of people, there is no need to consider the structural strength of the starship at all, and the so-called thrust-to-weight ratio has been eliminated with the coordinate-like drive technology, and the most advanced inertial stability field has also been mastered. Ship size was never an issue for the technical Imperial scientists, who always piled all the insane weapons in one place and then figured out how big a ship should be built to fit them—the end result is Imperial-built These behemoths are several times or even dozens of times larger than ordinary civilized spaceships.
By the way, it also created our peculiar custom of taking damaged friendly small spaceships away in our pockets on the battlefield...
"Let that interstellar peddler and her subordinates board the ship—arrange them to the ecological zone of the Admiral Empire," I thought for a while, and said to Xiaoxue next to me, "Any reason is fine, such as helping them repair the spaceship. Like, take this opportunity to scan their warehouses, and mark any suspicious items. The Fallen Apostles found something amazing on the cliff, and they are all crazy today... "RS
