The dark and cold space, the fragmented warships, and occasionally a flash of light across the darkness, that is the last war zone where sporadic firefights are taking place. The dark planet under our feet has completely disintegrated, and there is nothing left of the dark red core. The glory starship, which was an overhead creation, did not leave a single residue after it collapsed. It dissipated into the cold reality like a nightmare , It is really unimaginable that just a few minutes ago, there was a space entity with a diameter of thousands of kilometers and composed of broken star debris.
Harlan was wearing a tattered military uniform, and the wound on his body hadn't healed. He just stood in the air, looking at the scene in space with a calm expression. His eyes passed through hundreds of thousands of kilometers of positions, and he looked at himself brilliantly and powerfully. Eighty percent of China's army is now reduced to debris. The broken starship wreckage and the flashes of the distant war zone were reflected in his dark eyes. The old emperor shrugged: "So, that's how it ended."
"Sorry, we had to wipe out most of them," Sandora replied in the spiritual connection. She rarely apologized to others, but facing this former colleague who was almost wiped out by the New Empire, she had to Don't say sorry, "Xiling soldiers are almost impossible to capture. The number of soldiers we can successfully capture and reverse transform each time is extremely limited. I personally hope to save the minds of more compatriots, but this is unrealistic."
"It doesn't matter, being purified by psionic energy is a kind of relief for them," Harlan said very calmly, "I have a lot of questions—what did you do, why did I suddenly 'recover', how did you escape those days? This disaster... and what happened to the beating I received just now, it seems that I have a lot to learn."
When Harlan mentioned "how to escape the disaster that year", Sandora showed a look of disappointment: she originally hoped to learn more information about the catastrophe from Harlan, as well as revenge. The truth about the army being blocked in a different world by the "barrier", but now it seems that Harlan's understanding of these things may be limited. After a while, Sandora was relieved and she smiled: "The fallen apostles in the eyes of the new empire have always been mysterious, and there are a lot of unknown secrets. It seems that the new empire is similar in your eyes. We will explain it clearly to you , and I suggest that you transfer your memory to another place now. According to past experience, the fallen apostles will experience partial memory loss for a period of time after being reversed. The reason is unknown, but it seems that someone behind you My lord has tampered with all the fallen apostles."
Harlan was stunned for a moment, and then some light flashed in his eyes. It seems that he has already started to check his memory bank, but no matter how much he backs up the memory bank, it can only save a drop in the bucket. We have tried many times, yes The law in this respect is very clear. After the "recovery", the fallen apostles will quickly lose the detailed memory of their service under "that lord". This is very fast at the beginning, and it only takes a few tenths of a second to complete, and then the speed slows down sharply, until it ends after a few days. And the most critical core issue: Information such as the roster of the fallen apostles, military strength, and the territory map of the Abyss Empire were deleted in the first few tenths of a second. Bella Villa and Carter? Carlo and others have not been able to restore this part of the data, which shows that this deletion is carried out at the bottom of the system, and there is no room for redemption.
I looked at Harlan a little sorry, after all, I just gave him a fat beating: Although there was a reason for that, I always felt a little bit sorry, and to be honest, I felt that I was the villain later: "Then what , I was just hilarious, I didn't notice that you have already woken up..."
"Is my recovery really related to what you did just now?" Harlan backed up his memory bank while looking at me. Today is the first face-to-face contact between me and him, but we have already done it before. Several confrontations without meeting each other: every confrontation is thrilling and bloody, I don’t call myself a hero, but I do feel a little sympathetic with this Harlan, and I guess he is the same, “It’s strange, I don’t understand Why do you have to do that to wake up the polluted apostles? If you say it’s a battle, it won’t do any harm at all. You don’t seem to intend to hurt anyone at all, but it’s more like… making trouble.”
I thought in my heart that when I was dueling with a certain female hooligan back then, it would be great for the two of them to meditate in a competition, so that the famous stunt of the third person in the void would not be solidified into a set of Wang Baquan, but I guess Harlan couldn't understand this allusion , so I can only smile apologetically: "The reason is very complicated. Anyway, for a guy like you who is seriously polluted and has strong mental power, this is the only trick I can use, but next time I will pay attention to observe the patient's expression —I really didn’t see that you were awake just now…”
Harlan was silent. The psychologically shocking scene just now was still lingering in his mind. I felt that I shouldn't bring it up, so I quickly changed the subject: "There is another good news, Zadom has been arrested. Captured."
Zadom, the number one general in Harran's army—probably equal to Pandora's value to the Imperial Army, the difference between the two is that Zadom obviously didn't throw his thinking circuit outside, he was both wise and brave. I believe that Harlan must have attached great importance to Zadom. The most trusted person around Emperor Xiling is undoubtedly his general, and there has never been an exception in the history of the empire.
For Harlan now, the fact that his general is still alive is undoubtedly the most exciting news.
In fact, when Sandora and I came to capture Harlan, another group of people went to deal with Zadom. We were not worried that the latter would run away, because it is impossible for any general Xiling to abandon his own The emperor fled alone. The protoss quintet and Xiaoxue were in charge of catching Zadom. The first five were 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T and DPS (Bingtis—she is still a DPS, although she is really good at taunting), and the latter one It's a small map. These six people have a strong lineup, especially Bingtis's firepower is definitely more than enough to beat Zadom, so their capture is very smooth. In addition, since Xiaoxue also inherited my mantle, Zadom's reversal was relatively smooth.
—I mean that Xiaoxue didn’t encounter much resistance when she hit the sandbags. According to the news from Bingtis, they hanged Zadom up and beat them, which is less humane than me and Sandora.
There was an overjoyed expression on Harlan's face. It seems that he didn't expect that other generals besides himself would be arrested at the beginning: the difficulty of capturing a leader-level apostle alive is obvious: "You must have put in a lot of effort. Dom is very strong."
"Sneak attack, cheating, stumbling, stabbing Sap in the back, and finally sending a female hooligan on our side to pretend to be a chaotic abyss creature to distract Zadom," I recalled the message Bingtis passed to me just now. "Battle Report", "Overall, it's going well."
Harlan: "..."
The last sporadic battles are finally over, and the service echelon begins to deal with the battlefield. Some people may think that there is no need to clean up the battlefield in this kind of space war. Anyway, the universe is so big, and space junk is not in the orbit of your own planet—this kind of thinking is very Not advisable, the battlefield where the imperial army and the fallen apostles are fighting must be cleaned in the later stage. The wreckage floating here is either filled with psionic energy or left with abyssal reactions. These things are destructive to the world, especially the latter. If an ignorant alien race accidentally ran into this world and picked up a piece of the wreckage of a battleship with an abyss reaction, the consequences would be even more disastrous. We have seen enough of the troubles caused by the old empire's littering of non-burnable garbage, and of course we will try to avoid similar "legacy problems" as much as possible now. Cleaning the battlefield does not necessarily mean recovering all the wreckage here, but at least use special techniques to neutralize the psionic energy or abyss attached to those things, so that the rest are metal fragments, and there is no problem leaving it alone. big.
The scene full of wreckage in my sight made me feel a little bit pained. How I wished that Harlan could open a big game now and reset the two warring parties—but it’s impossible to think about it, things are not perfect, let’s not It is said that Harlan's glory form has been blown up, even if he can make a big one, it is estimated that everyone will fight again, and the result will not be much better than now.
"Are you ready to meet your new friend?" Accompanying Harlan in space to commemorate the heroic souls who died in the war, I invited the latter, but soon my eyes fell on the tragic body of the other party. On the scar, "Um... don't you want to deal with this injury first?"
Harlan smiled indifferently: "I can't die, let's just let it go, it's normal to get a little bit injured when you get off the battlefield."
I looked at the opposite space through the big hole in Harlan's chest, and I felt cold sweat on my forehead. God knows what kind of injury in this guy's eyes is considered serious, but the other party's injury was caused by Sandora's abyss claw and mine. It was really troublesome to recover from the power of the void. Seeing that he seemed to be fine (Harlan's standard: if he can't die for a while, it means he's fine), I won't mention it anymore. When I go back Send him to the repair bay first.
We waited for a while to confirm that Harlan's mental state has been completely stabilized—everyone should remember that the fallen apostle was mentally unstable for a period of time after he was reversed, although Harlan seemed normal all the time, But this is because his normal personality is unusually strong, and the mental instability still exists-then returned to the bridge of the Imperial Admiral.
The command hall is still busy. Commanders at all levels are counting the battle damage of each unit and assigning post-battle damage control tasks. I suddenly returned to this warm and bright place from the dark and dead space. I couldn’t help but take a deep breath: breathing is not necessary. Yes, but after more than 20 years of being a human being, I am still used to panting.
Harlan seemed to feel that what he had experienced in the past hour or so was still a bit unbelievable, he blinked and looked at the command center of the Imperial Army: "It's hard to imagine that we were enemies not long ago, but now I'm standing in your command post. "
Sandora said calmly: "After the fall of the empire, the development of many things deviated from the normal track. Many things were unexpected to us, such as guns and guns facing each other on the battlefield. By the way, I still remember what you said just now …”
Harlan's face suddenly became very subtle, and I still remember his words: "Look at your ghostly look now! You are the same as all of us!" This is definitely a powerful mockery for Sandora.
"Sandora cares more about her abyssal side." I gave Harlan a sympathetic look, "You don't slap people in the face, scold them or expose their shortcomings. What you said just now is really unnecessary..."
"Forget it," Sandora waved her hand suddenly, "Actually, I don't really care about it—for the sake of at least going to the repair warehouse for a week, just pretend nothing happened. Like everyone else, you Things in the period of corruption will end with the battle just now, and you can start over. A small number of members of the new empire are former fallen apostles who have been reversed. I will explain this after you recover from your injuries. You I will meet many old friends and look forward to my new life."
Harlan's angular and serious face finally showed a complex smile. He knew how much weight there was behind the so-called "a write-off" and "restart", so he couldn't say too many emotional words. Sandora nodded. At this time, the gate behind the officer's platform was suddenly opened, and a small group of people came in noisily. The one who walked in the front was the loudest Bingtis. She finally put away her scorched wings and was now following Ilsen next to him bragged b: "My old lady said that my old lady is an acting school, just now Zadom was almost going to fight side by side with my old lady..."
Behind Bingtis was a tall and strong middle-aged man who was wearing the black military uniform of the fallen apostle, and his face was a bit sluggish. When he heard Bingtis' bragging content, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't help interjecting. He shut his mouth: "Then you knocked me down with something—what did you use?"
Bingtis took out a piece of astral gold stone brick, and a large piece of the brick had been sunken in the middle: "My mother's brick is full of exceptions, even the old monsters in the Pantheon can't hide within five meters, you Still tender—yo, Chen, we are back, let me introduce you, this is Zadom, this is the brick that smashed Zadom just now."
This is the first time I saw someone introducing me to someone, and I would also like to introduce the brick in my hand. No matter how serious this female hooligan is, she will have a fetish for bricks, right
"Your Majesty?!" The dejected Zadom suddenly looked up and saw Harlan standing not far in front of him. He immediately straightened his body and gave a military salute. His aura instantly changed back to a powerful and brave general. "Zadom reports to you!"
"Glad to see you're still alive—dismiss, General."
Xiaoxue looked at it for a long time with a strange expression, and at this time she walked up to Harlan and said hello: "Ahem, long time no see, Uncle Harlan, long time no see in every sense..."
Those of us who knew Xiaoxue's origin were stunned for a moment, and then wanted to understand something big. Harlan was a little bit taken aback, but he quickly recognized Xiaoxue: "You...you were copied by us at that time..."
"I took your fleet away," Xiaoxue's eyes rolled around, "thank you for saying it, if you didn't try to copy my dad, I really couldn't find a more suitable entry point in time and space."
"Your father?" Harlan turned around in bewilderment, "What the hell is going on? I remember this girl..."
"She is my daughter, my own." I felt my head slowly swell up. Explaining this question really tested people's logical ability. "You tried to copy me, but what you created was actually my own daughter."
"I know about the replicant project, this cunning girl—" Harlan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and he pointed to Xiaoxue, "She ran out of the replicator experiment cabin, with a Void power on her body. Residual reaction, and cooperation. We always thought that the copying plan was successful, but she lied to everyone, and finally ran away with one of my fleets. I still can’t figure out how you did it! Copying void creatures The plan is airtight, and you actually arranged your own daughter in the most closely guarded laboratory?"
"She was not arranged by me," I explained Xiaoxue's identity dumbfounded, "she arranged herself—you can call her Xiaoxue, in the normal timeline, she is not born yet, she was The future is projected."
"Reversing time and space?" Harlan looked at Xiaoxue in disbelief, "It's impossible, the continuity of time is only meaningful in a closed universe. For Void, every world has its own time reference system. There is no such thing as reversing time across the void... There is no such thing as a 'time axis' at the void level, what the hell is she... "
Xiaoxue curled her lips and muttered: "Uncle Haran, you are left-handed, you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, you have to take the same number of steps with your left and right feet every day when you walk, and you like to eat the waterless rounds made by Aunt Sylvia cake."
Everyone at the scene opened their mouths to express their astonishment, and Harlan was taken aback for a moment: "The first two are correct, but what is an anhydrous round cake? Who is Sylvia?"
"Oh, that's in the future," Xiaoxue scratched her hair, "Anyway, I was indeed projected from the future, as for the issue of the time axis—because I didn't involve the time axis at all, the cataclysm of the void is mine Springboard. Of course, don’t worry about this issue, anyway, you will know in the future. By the way, thank you in advance for the pocket money you will give me in the future, although you will report to my dad immediately after giving the money... "
Harlan: "...it seems that there are quite a lot of things I want to know. You guys...how amazing..."
Not to mention the surprise on Harlan's end, even I never thought about Xiaoxue's future acquaintance with him. Now that I think about it, it is absolutely reasonable: if Harlan is successfully captured by us, then he will He is definitely a member of Shadow City, and he is also a guy who can be very close to our family: just like Sylvia, in this way, Xiaoxue in the future is basically what Harlan watched her grow up...
Xiaoxue was able to keep this secret all the time, probably because she didn't want to interfere badly with the event line. I was a little impressed by this brat's ability to keep secrets, and then I began to think about how many secrets this girl was hiding. Dare to think about it!
Anyway, I can only be sure of one thing: when Xiaoxue cheated the entire fleet from Harlan, she seemed to be relentless at all. This child...
Calm, smart, thoughtful, and able to be 100% ruthless when Harlan was an enemy, she is not just a brat. RS
