The first tough battle has come to an end for the time being, and the next step is to build a bridgehead, create a temporary sovereign hub, guard against the counterattack of the fallen apostles, and rest time. Xiaoxue and Qianqian have suffered a lot of mental exhaustion during the battle, and they have already returned to their rooms to rest. The others Either rest or find a place to hang out, only me, my sister and Sandora are left on the bridge.
Of course, there are also those hard-working imperial commanders.
"The celestial system fleet will arrive on the battlefield in an hour," Sandora looked at the holographic image in front of her and nodded slightly. "After destroying the Sovereign Hub, the Fourth Fleet has successfully rewritten the identification rules of the world barrier. The apostle's map identification area is gone, and they won't be able to find the teleportation point for at least a few hours, which is enough time for us to expand the base."
"Then march to the next world," the elder sister said with a smile on her face. Although the first battle took a lot of time, it was basically used to kill the enemy's space fortress. The actual battle damage was much smaller than expected. The Imperial Army is still almost at full strength and will soon return to its full strength. Such a good momentum made my sister unbearably excited, but she was a little puzzled, "But let's just push forward one world at a time? When will we call?"
"Of course not," Sandora casually switched the screen on the holographic projection, presenting the simulated view of the void and the world before our eyes, "This is the world we occupy now, it is equivalent to a frequency in the radio wave, each The world is equivalent to a frequency, randomly distributed in the large environment called void - this is our next goal, and the next goal, you see, as long as enough universes are captured, a discrete node cluster can be formed, Just like determining the basic indicators of a large number of goods through sampling, these worlds will mark a large number of continuous material universes. These material universes are similar in identification characteristics, and the world barrier can resonate to a certain extent. When we combine these key nodes Take control in your hands, then broadcast the same thing to every node... ”
Sandora clicked on the schematic diagram on the holographic image, and connected several colored spots representing the material universe. Immediately, the continuous colored spots around them were "dyed" into the same color as if dye was dropped into water.
"This is a complex resonance process, which is also why the demise of a world often affects all similar universes, causing the phenomenon of 'doomsday aftermath'. Through similar principles, as long as we occupy a series of key nodes, we can put a large number of The world barriers of the universe are rewritten as 'imperial frequency', and then they become the actual imperial territory, and then we just need to slowly eliminate the helpless defenders inside," Sandora said with a happy smile on her face. "My favorite thing back then was to 'enclose the land and expand the frontier'. It was a pleasant and good day... I dragged the universe back to the territory of the empire by dozens, and then nestled in the galaxy to play."
I:"… "
In fact, from a certain point of view, Sandora and Pandora are both violent and war-crazed—it’s just that the latter is a pig-like type, and the former is a strategic type.
"How is that database cracked?" I shook my head vigorously, forgetting the scene of Sandora lying on the bed holding the data terminal to calculate the territory area, and mentioned the "salvage" from the sovereign hub before. The thing about the database that got up.
"The database is intact, but it is encrypted layer by layer." Sandora scratched her data terminal a little bored, "Experts are trying to break through its firewall, and Bubble is also processing the data sent there by itself. It should be There will be results soon."
After the battle, the Imperial Army has been reorganized, and the First Fleet will stay on the world barrier and continue to deploy disruptors to enhance the defense of this temporary territory. By the way, it is always ready to meet the enemy's counterattack. The Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets and the Royal The fleet stationed around the enemy's sovereign hub, and now the two artificial planets have become two drops of space slag, and their high orbits are still full of broken wreckage and psionic storm groups that have not dissipated. For ordinary civilizations, it is naturally extremely bad, and they should be avoided as much as possible, but it is the opposite for the Imperial Army: the scattered wreckage can be recycled on the spot to build temporary space bases, and the semi-melted planet can not only be used as a source of material, but also It can be used as a source of gravity for the construction of temporary strongholds. Although these things are a drop in the bucket for the imperial army that is not short of supplies, what the Apostles of Xiling have always advocated is absolute efficiency—including the efficiency of recycling and reusing materials.
This is a group of rich and powerful rich men who have everything, but also a group of entrepreneurial parties who plan carefully and refuse to waste a screw.
There is a reason for this kind of meticulous planning: no matter how big a family business is, it must be accumulated bit by bit. The apostles of Xiling have come from mortals step by step to today, but they did not crush the world with technology from the beginning. The hard-working rich generation in the world will never waste even a gram of supplies because they have plenty at hand: because they firmly believe that often one more bullet can determine the direction of a balance of power war.
Even those lingering psionic storm clusters that permeate space are useful - the gang of ravens are happily rushing around in the storm cluster, in theory they are giving themselves extra power, but in fact they should be just playing Bar…
There is a temporary space laboratory more than 100 kilometers away from the Admiral of the Empire. The laboratory is transformed and reorganized from two engineering ships and a scientific research ship. It looks like an irregular polygonal platform. The database salvaged from the Sovereign Hub was transported there, and now it is being tossed and tossed by more than 130 experts in turn—I hope this database really contains the information we need.
I thought it would take a long time for the lab to get the results, but the database was cracked faster than expected - before the celestial system fleet was in place, those extremely efficient experts found a way to hack the database, Bubble immediately broadcasted in the entire Admiral's account with a loud voice: "The child's father! The database has been read out~~~la la la~~~~~"
At this time, I was accompanying Sandora in the restaurant to fill my stomach. Bubble’s hurried broadcast, which was like rushing to reincarnate, almost made me choke on a bite of cake. I raised my head and yelled at the ceiling. One sentence: "You are dying! What are you howling?"
"This is an echo," Bubble replied confidently on the shipboard radio, regardless of the fact that he was using a public channel. "Okay, hurry up and read the report! There is something terrible in the database!"
When Sandora and I heard it, we immediately couldn’t care less about teaching that abnormal Xiling host, and quickly opened our respective data terminals to check the situation. Bubble has already uploaded the first data read from the database to the public. In the information link, there are highly encrypted logs of the military stronghold on the border of the Fallen Apostles and various orders from the inside of the Abyss area. The amount of information in these things is enough to scare a somersault:

The split in the mental network continued to worsen and had spread to the headquarters. The number of soldiers commanded by "that lord" was basically the same as that of the new army soldiers. At present, a confrontation has formed in the headquarters. It has been confirmed that the following units (followed by some no longer meaningful unit numbers) have been split into the new army camp, and the situation needs to be closely monitored.
(The following are miscellaneous records. With the destruction of the Fallen Apostle’s sovereign hub and local defenders, it is meaningless, so I will skip it here.)

The division of the spiritual network has temporarily stopped deteriorating, and the strength of the new army and the old army is basically the same—at least in this universe, it is not yet certain what the situation is in the empire. At present, it is judged that the network split is still under control and planned. After several frictions between the new army and the old army, a reunification meeting was held in the network buffer zone to determine the bottom line and common policy of all parties. The interests of the empire are still the first, and the confrontation in the border area is over.
(The following is still miscellaneous.)

The serious consequences caused by the network split are expanding, and a large number of unexpected vicious effects have been produced. I got the exact news today, and the internal conflict has intensified again. "That lord" has not sent new instructions, and this site continues to perform its inherent tasks. The only good news: all border defenses are still under old army control. The new army is expanding its power. Today the border station received three orders, two of which were from the new army. Although insignificant, this indicates a disturbing trend.

The priority of "Daye" was raised to the highest, and the proposal of "entering the final stage" received more than 60% approval. Except for the necessary defense forces at the border stations, the rest of the fleets were organized into the expeditionary force and the main echelons at all levels. The countdown to the final war begins, and no one can stop the "great cause" of the empire! We will conquer all unknowns!

The network fragmentation may have gotten out of control, the new army is out of control, it is confirmed that the new army has changed its military emblem and the identification codes of all soldiers, and there are signs that they are preparing an attack on the gods - the "lord" has expressly forbidden to start at this moment In the end, the war, because the timing is far from ripe, obviously the new army completely disagrees with the judgment of the "adult", they overly optimistically estimated the progress of the "great cause", and can't wait to start the gate, the new decision-maker will suffer , but before that, it will first destroy the entire empire.
However, the situation is no longer under our control. As a soldier, we can only wait for the order of the "Master" at this moment. I believe that the situation will not deteriorate to the final point, and "that lord" should be prepared for this.
The management of this site is about to be handed over to the new army. I hope they will realize that the empire on the other side of the void is also a huge threat.

The network cutting is completed, the management right transfer is completed, and all the handover and testing work on this site has been completed today. But this site shouldn't be of much use—the job is almost done, and we don't need to be stuck in this unpleasant world of order.
The stubborn old army has withdrawn from this world. The old master seems to be integrating his army and intends to settle down. This should be good news. Although the old master proposed a great cause, he obviously does not have the ability to complete it , it would be wise to hand over the burden to new and more suitable decision makers to continue.
These are the main valuable logs, and there are a lot of border defense materials that involve technical details, as well as some information that has lost its timeliness. Obviously, those things don't need to be paid much attention to.
After reading the materials in front of me, Sandora and I looked at each other: If the amount of information revealed by these things is expanded, it may be more than a million words! So the fallen apostles not only officially split, but also directly cut off the territory? !
"Who the hell are we fighting right now?" was the first question I had, but it didn't take long for me to find the answer: if there are no other major changes later in these logs, there is no doubt that the Corrupted The so-called "new army" should be in charge of the defense of the apostolic border.
Sandora suddenly thought of something, and immediately contacted Sivis: "Did the troops cleaning the battlefield find the enemy's legion emblem?"
It took two seconds for Sivis to reply: "Yes, the wreckage of the battleship with the emblem of the Fallen Apostle was found, so please send the image of the emblem."
Soon we received the emblem of the fallen apostle uploaded by Sivis from the data terminal, and I recognized it immediately: it was the pattern that Father God showed me when I was in the God Realm.
Brand new logo.
Sandora and I looked at each other: There is no need to ask more about the situation, the events recorded in the log are true, the fallen apostles have split into two parts, the "new army" and the "old army", and the current power in the abyss is in the later stage And the new army.
It was also the so-called new army that fought fiercely with the imperial army an hour ago.
Sandora was stunned for a few seconds, then shook her head indifferently: "No matter how they split up, they are enemies anyway. According to the situation just now, there is no difference in fighting. And according to the behavior style of the new army and the situation recorded in the log... I'm afraid This new army is more harmful than the old army, and they act even more recklessly."
I put away the data terminal, and there was a lingering question in my mind: "Where did the old army... and that abyss Xiling go?"
According to the clues revealed in the log, after the split of the Abyss area, the new army finally gained the upper hand. Abyss Xiling and her legion seemed to be squeezed out to a certain corner. It is still uncertain whether these forces have completely disappeared, but the whole thing So far, it is enough to make people stunned and unbelievable—the biggest threat to the new empire all the time, the fallen apostle commander who made our family and the gods feel like a stick in their throats, that abyss Xiling is just... inexplicably finished
Was brought down by an inexplicable network split, before the Imperial Army and the Protoss took action, she just finished it by herself? ! So what is the insomnia that I have suffered from night to night? Although the insomnia at that time was mostly because the little doll was too noisy to let people sleep...
"I didn't expect such a result." Even Sandora shook her head with a weird expression, seeing her appearance, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "But I don't think Abyss Xiling will perish so easily—she doesn't would be so weak."
After that, Sandora and I fell into a brief silence, and I felt a little strange: Abyss Xiling has always been my biggest enemy in my heart. She is far-sighted and difficult to fathom. A powerful legion so far, and until today, I thought her rule over the fallen apostles was absolute, but in such a short period of time, this powerful enemy disappeared, and she fell inexplicably, so abruptly, even almost Because of a farce... I have been holding back my head for several years, let alone hit the cotton with the last punch, there is not even cotton left!
I guess Sandora has the same idea in her heart.
"In short, there is at least one thing that can't be wrong." Sandora was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head suddenly, "Now is the weakest period of the fallen apostles. Whether it is a division or a civil war, it gives us a chance to march. This battle Fight anyway."
"I suddenly hope that Abyss Xiling is still alive." I smiled and looked at Sandora. "If she is alive, the civil war of the fallen apostles will continue. Now the gods have restrained half of their troops, and the civil war will restrain them again." Some, how much trouble we have to save."
Sandora rolled her eyes and said, "How can there be such a good thing? Even if Abyss Xiling is alive, the fallen apostles are not stupid. Didn't you see what was said in the diary? They still prioritize the interests of the Abyss Empire. If we are in a hurry, I am afraid it will end the division of the abyss area... "
Speaking of this, Sandora stopped suddenly, and my expression also changed:
That's right, the division and civil strife in the Abyss should still be continuing, and the log has clearly stated one point: whether it is the new army or the old army, the interests of the "Abyss Empire" are the first. If the Protoss and the New Empire really push them this time, and fail to wipe out the entire Fallen Apostle camp, I'm afraid they will reintegrate!
"Then shall we still fight?" I looked into Sandora's eyes, and she nodded vigorously after hesitating for a moment: "Fight, why not fight! The most important thing is to maximize the results, and the Protoss is about to start an expedition. The fallen apostles will not always be in civil war. This opportunity is once in a lifetime—just pay attention when advancing this time. The environment in the abyss area is too complicated. After several years of investigation, we can't tell how deep it is. In addition, it is not sure whether the "old army" of the fallen apostles is still alive, so we can't push too deep. In case the fallen apostles come back to reintegrate when the imperial army goes too deep, we may Get stuck in them." RS
