Although the Protoss is also monitoring the movements of the fallen apostles, it is not easy to conduct remote detection in the void, and the abyss area is not bordered by the star field, so the empire is often the first to know the movements of the fallen apostles— Like now.
Father God saw the change of expression on my face, and immediately guessed what was going on: "What? Is something wrong in my hometown?"
"There seems to be movement from the Fallen Apostles, this time they are heading for the Empire District," I got up and floated towards the exit, "It seems that I have to go back early this time."
Father God and I left the "base" of the God Realm very quickly, and then met Bingtis who had heard the news on the central square of the Brilliant God Court. It looked like Lilina who had just woken up and was wandering outside. Ding Dong coming out of the Temple of the Supreme Life Goddess. Of course, Father Bing and Mother Bing are also with their daughter.
As soon as Bingtis saw me, he pounced on me like a hungry tiger, grabbed my arm and shook it vigorously: "Chen! Hurry up and take my concubine away!"
I was flustered on my side, but I was so scared by Sister Bing’s big movement that I even forgot my panic. I looked at Father Bing and Mother Bing behind her, and then at the female hooligan with a miserable face. Layers of sweat: "I said you don't need to be so exaggerated, those are your real parents..."
"My concubine would rather be bought by them as a gift..." Bingtis's face was miserable, "I've been nagging all night."
Father Bing and Mother Bing were still laughing at the movement of his daughter, the old couple looked relieved, and Mother Bing poked Father Bing's arm and muttered there: "I said that these two have Men, look at that girl, she really revealed her true feelings under pressure..."
Father Bing nodded in agreement, and Bingtis was stunned and finally jumped up: "This day can't be passed! Parents, you are using the mentality of being a spy to deal with your daughter-I am really a gift from you when you buy furniture Is it?"
I put Bingtis aside first, and let her continue to quarrel with my living treasure parents, while I turned around and walked towards Lilina. This black loli came purely on a public-funded trip. Since yesterday, she has been wandering around among several temples in the Brilliant God Court. Because of the acquiescence of the Father God, no one stopped her. As a result, I didn’t see this guy all night. I don't know where she spent the night yesterday.
"We have to go back early," I patted Lilina on the head, "The fallen apostles have made another movement, this time the target seems to be the Empire area. Are these guys holding a trick-or-treating contest or something, I'm afraid the Empire and the Protoss will not meet Join hands to deal with them... By the way, where did you go last night?"
Lilina rubbed her eyes, then wiped her face on my pants: "It's hard to come out for a visit, I'm going to the Temple of Darkness."
I grabbed the girl by the ear and said, "You, a member of the God of Life, went to visit the Temple of Darkness. Who would believe you if you tell me! You might as well say that you went to the Temple of Light by yourself. I can at least believe that you are here to learn about photosynthesis. "
Lilina was jumping up and down by my ears: "Boss Mingjian Boss Mingjian! I used to learn how to cook. I heard that the dark gods are all good at cooking..."
Me: "...you might as well say that you are here to join in the fun!"
Fortunately, I have important things to do now, and I don't have the time to suppress this ignorant pseudo-loli, otherwise, her behavior of not doing any serious business after coming here is enough to be grounded in the basket for a long time. I pinched Lilina's cheeks, caught the jingle that was flying towards this side and stuffed it in my pocket, then raised my head and looked in the direction of the father's temple: "There is still one person missing here, how about the little lamp?" Not coming out? I've been calling her for a long time."
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the little girl ran out from the gate of the temple as soon as the words fell... It seemed that she didn't run out, but rode out on a little black cat. The girl was still riding on Cyndia's back, as usual The face that was always cold is now rarely cheerful, and Cyndia, who has turned into a black cat, is running all the way here with the little doll girl on her back. The two bear children are considered a combination. It’s just that this combination is still a bit incongruous: no matter how small the doll is, she is more than ninety centimeters tall, and even sitting down, she is bigger than the little black cat that Cyndia turned into. She is riding on the black cat. The gothic long skirt almost completely covered Cyndia when she drooped, only a kitten’s head was exposed, so when I looked from a distance, I almost thought the little doll was sliding on the ground with legs crossed. There's a plush cat toy hanging from the dress...
The combination of the two bears came to me in the blink of an eye, and I grabbed the doll by the back collar and picked her up and hugged her: "Didn't you say that you can't bully the young lady?"
The little black cat rolled on the ground and turned into a human shape, its face was as happy as a doll: "It's not bullying or bullying—I think it's very fun. Jiadi always sleeps late in the morning. There is no one to play with me."
The little puppet cleverly climbed onto my shoulder, and then found that Uncle Kuvain was not far away, so he quickly changed the shoulder on the farther side, and finally shook my head vigorously: "Stupid, so quickly Do you want to go? Only stayed for two days!"
I patted the little girl's leg in a little surprise: "Aren't you usually not interested in anything? Why did you change your gender this time?"
The little puppet pointed at Cyndia awkwardly: "This guy is very interesting, why didn't I notice it before..."
"Normally, there are very few people who can play with Cyndia," Father God smiled gently at the side, "Except for Jiadi, there is no child like Cyndia in the Garden of Brilliance. I really didn't expect this The two little guys have quite similar tempers."
I shrugged my shoulders like Parkinson's in the late stage (a little puppet was sitting on the other shoulder, not daring to move): "There are not many people who can play with this girl, she has thorns all over her temper, no I thought I finally found a playmate today." Then I turned my head slightly and asked the little girl on my shoulder: "Why don't you stay? Anyway, the God Realm and the Shadow Space are directly connected, and once the space door is opened, it can be charged to prepare a After an hour, you can just go home by yourself."
The little doll really thought about it for a while, then pulled my hair and shook his head: "No."
I noticed that she said "No" instead of "I don't want to". Knowing that this little guy is actually delicate, I suddenly became curious: "What can't be done?"
"This portal connects the capital and the God Realm. It is a special channel for official business. You can't just open the door just to come and play," the little puppet said seriously. "I heard from Xiaoxue that we will build a More convenient public passages, I will use them at that time."
I was very surprised and turned my head to look at the little guy on my shoulder: "... When did you become so sensible?!"
As soon as I said this, I felt terrible, and as expected, the little girl on the shoulder suddenly flew into a rage, she hugged my head and pulled it out vigorously, the loud voice could be heard in the whole square: "Why am I so ignorant! Why am I ignorant! What if I am ignorant!"
I grabbed the arm of the puppet girl and shouted: "The meaning of your last sentence has completely changed."
The little puppet stroked the last sentence, and continued to pull my head: "Why do you care about grammar! Why do you care about grammar! Why do you care about grammar!"
This little girl's three-stage complaints are really getting more and more proficient.
It took me a long time to calm down the little girl on my shoulders, and I said to myself that everyone is growing up these years, and the bad-tempered puppet who acted recklessly and ignored it back then has become more sensible now, and then I raised my head and said embarrassingly to Father God Smile: "I laughed, I laughed."
God the Father looked at us happily, and nodded with an expression of "I understand" on his face: "It's okay, I think of Jiadi when she was a child... That's it, you go back and deal with your own affairs first, if the situation is serious Just notify this side immediately. If the Fallen Apostle really intends to fight head-to-head now... then I'm afraid we will have to do it in advance at the cost of losses."
I glanced at Father God: "It stands to reason that they shouldn't die like this... In short, you should prepare first. I know that the expedition cannot be delayed, but if the situation really deteriorates, you should also be mentally prepared: those lunatics have never acted like this." logical."
"Of course I understand." Father God nodded, and at the same time, the portal on the square was also debugged, opening a direct passage to Shadow City. I took Bingtis, who had been scolded by my parents just now, and was now full of bitterness and hatred, and then I picked up Lilina and pinched it under the armpit, and walked in like a human-shaped coat rack. Portal.
Sure enough, Sandora had already led the people to wait in the square outside the World Tree Temple. As soon as I came out, I saw her standing side by side with Sivis not far away, and behind her were my sister and a large number of headquarters The senior officers, and of course the rest of the family. I took off the two little girls hanging from my body and put them on the ground, and walked quickly to Sandora: "What's the matter?"
"I'm still not sure if it's an enemy attack or not. The movements of the fallen apostles are very, very weird." The expression on Sandora's face is something I've never seen before. It's a little serious and a little confused, but it's more Dumbfounding, "They seem to be... convulsing."
"Convulsions?" I saw for the first time that Sandora would have a dumbfounding look on her face when she talked about such a serious topic, "What kind of convulsions? They came to the side with a horoscope dance?"
"Can't you stop complaining about such a serious matter?" Lin Xue came over briskly and gave me a small fist, "The fallen apostle is having convulsions, and some of the future fragments I saw are also convulsing. The situation seems to be related to something with a huge time span. In short, there is no way to predict it accurately. Are you not tired? If not, let's go directly to the headquarters, and you can see what's going on by yourself."
Before I could speak, Bingtis stretched out his arms and yelled: "I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm exhausted, the journey from God's Realm to here is long, can I..."
"I'm sleepy and tired," I turned my head and gave Bingtis a glance, "It took three and a half seconds to teleport here, and three of those seconds were wasted if you had to straighten your hair at the door. Come here quickly, don't forget You are also a nominal imperial officer."
"This nima has the bare name of a patriarch, and I really sold myself to the empire." Bingtis muttered, but still kept up with the large army obediently.
An Weina took the doll back home first, and the group arrived at the headquarters soon.
In the largest combat conference room, everything has been prepared: senior staff officers and officers above the lieutenant general who are on standby in Shadow City are all present, Bubble serves as the server host of the combat conference to provide data support online in person, and each seat on the multi-circular conference table A small holographic device was prepared in front of them, which displayed complex diagrams and visualized void color scale diagrams. We waited for everyone to be seated before Sandora nodded to Sivis who was standing in the middle of the room: "Talk about the general situation first."
Sivis activated the holographic device located in the center of the room, and immediately a large picture of floating color blocks appeared in midair: This is a schematic diagram of the void pattern. I have seen it many times, and it cannot truly describe the The shape of the void (because the void has no shape at all), but it is still very convenient to use it to visualize the shape of the void.
"This is the Empire Zone," Sivis pointed to the light blue area on the map, and then pointed to the large dark red patch outside the light blue area and the pale gold area a little further away, "This is the Abyss Zone , and finally this is the God Realm. This schematic diagram was drawn based on the latest updated void scan, and it is basically quite accurate except for some slight offsets in individual universes."
Then the screen on the holographic projection flashed, and the "closest" section between the Empire and the Abyss was enlarged, and there were a lot of dense footnotes and small color marks. Sivis pointed to the part in the Abyss: "This It was the first abnormal assembly that the frontline troops of the Abyss Independent Regiment risked their lives to scan, and the fallen apostle fleet of about four to six legions suddenly gathered in the border area."
I leaned forward and said, "Heavy troops are on the side, isn't this just preparing to start a war?"
"I thought so too at first," Sandora shook her head beside her, "but just as I was about to mobilize the army to prepare for the battle, the enemy suddenly ran elsewhere."
My voice couldn't help but rise: "Run somewhere else?"
"The specific situation is yet to be ascertained," Sivis explained beside him, "Our spy troops cannot get too close to the abyss area, so even with the assistance of the death garden system, it is difficult for them to fully see what is happening in the abyss area .Now it can only be confirmed that this group of enemy troops gathered at the border suddenly shifted to...multiple different information offset directions. At first, it was confirmed that they were going to withdraw to the hinterland of the abyss area, but soon the signals of these fleets scattered in all directions. Come on, mess up."
Movement in the void is measured by "information offset", modifying its own information index, and approaching other orderly targets by increasing the similarity of information characteristics between itself and the destination, this is the meaning of "moving" in the void the only way. The amount of information offset can be regarded as the "moving distance", and the direction of information offset is more complicated. It has nothing to do with the real "direction". established. If the target's warp in the void is a herd behavior (i.e. it and all units that are warping at the same time are heading towards the same goal), then it doesn't have any "information offset direction".
The above concepts are for the convenience of understanding what Sivis said - of course, I guess many people will be even more dizzy after seeing them.
The fleet of the fallen apostles assembled inexplicably, and then dispersed inexplicably. Such an unusual behavior naturally reminds people of their storming the territory of the Protoss a few days ago - the common point is that they are not normal.
"Could it be that you just changed your action plan just before the start of the war, and you just withdrew it when you realized that it was too serious to die like this?" My sister tried to express her thoughts, but Sandora didn't quite agree: "It's unlikely Let's not talk about whether a battle plan of this scale can be such a joke, even if they really withdraw troops, they shouldn't be so messy. Harlan, you have experience, let me talk about your opinion, this time the sudden assembly and sudden withdrawal of troops what is going on?"
Harlan, as one of the three real emperors of the empire who are doing things (it goes without saying who is not doing things and who can’t do things?), now undertakes more and more important tasks, except for leading the abyss side In addition to the Imperial Army, the construction of the Abyss Independent Regiment, and assistance in all research projects related to the Abyss and the Fallen Apostles, he is also responsible for serving as the most senior consultant of the Fallen Apostles and the highest staff for various military operations in the Abyss area. If there is any strange behavior over there, it must be the most sensible to consult Harlan.
But this time even the expression on Harlan's face was very confused: "To be honest, I'm really confused this time... I can't see what they want to do, and I can't remember which emperor is in the Abyss Empire." This is such an inconspicuous style of acting. First of all, I can be sure that this is definitely not a normal military transfer: there is no problem with the early army assembly, but it is obviously messy when the army withdraws later. The process of withdrawing to the inland was mixed together, not to mention the apostles of Xiling, even the commanders of ordinary races shouldn't make the situation like this? And according to the telemetry information sent back by the frontline scouts, there are two small troops in the The border area ran back and forth several times, neither for patrol nor for any military purpose, it was completely headless."
Xiaoxue was also sitting on the officer's seat under the name of "more or less a senior commander in the future". At this time, she muttered: "Just at the scene of the operation, the person in charge of scheduling can be shot in a military court for two weeks." .”
I glanced at Xiaoxue on the officer's bench, who stuck out her tongue far away, and I glanced at Lin Xue who was a seat beside me, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with these troops?" Can't you see clearly?"
"This interference is too strong, don't count on it," Lin Xue spread her hands, "You don't even look through the void, if I can see this, then what's the use of the Death Garden."
"Apart from this gathering and withdrawal, did the Fallen Apostles have any other strange actions?" I looked up at Sivis.
"Yes," Sivis nodded vigorously, "They repeated the process after thirty minutes..."
I was stunned, and it took me a long time to curse: "Damn it! Is this treating us like the Spring Festival?" RS
