Chapter 1490: signpost

Views:

After capturing the enemy-occupied area, it is very common to recover the enemy's data storage equipment. In the past, the last link of every battle we had with the fallen apostles must have been to drag a bunch of ship wrecks from the other side back for analysis. Of course, the Great Warlord's protection of the database of the world hub is based on such common sense, so I couldn't help being a little curious when I saw the expression on Sandora's face: "Isn't it good to find the database?"

"It's indeed a good thing, but how did it go so smoothly?" Sandora frowned, "In the past, it was so difficult to find the data equipment that the fallen apostles hadn't destroyed in time on the battlefield. You also know that normal soldiers will lose their positions soon. Blow up those things at the right time—I was lucky enough to find a complete database in the last universe, how could the Fallen Apostle still make this mistake in this world?"

I smacked my lips: "I also think this is too smooth... But I'm used to it, so I don't feel comfortable when I encounter it once in a while. By the way, do you think this is a trap left by the fallen apostles?"

"The main reason is that I don't see the meaning of this trap," Sandora shook her head, "Inducing the Imperial Army to go deep alone? The problem is that as long as the commander is a little more cautious, he will not make this mistake. The jump passage and the evacuation route to the Empire Zone are always open, and it is difficult to build something like an encirclement circle in the void in a short time. And to be honest, if this is a trap... Ah Jun, don’t you think the price is a little bit worse? ?”

I think so too, you see, after the imperial army came here, they burned, looted, looted and bombed, the sovereignty of the four enemy worlds changed hands in the blink of an eye, and they were still fighting with the gods on the other side like a hot kiln, the abyss area The interior is also a mess, if it is possible to set up a trap, then the people who made the plan must be so lacking in vision - I am afraid that those who would give up their children to trap wolves would not have the courage.

Thinking of this, I immediately felt at ease, and at this moment, the Grand Warlord also reported that the database had completed partial decoding: because some rules were mastered when analyzing the previous database, the analysis of the second database appeared to be particularly smooth .

Sandora asked the Grand Overseer to pass on to her a copy of the information analyzed so far. As soon as she saw this information, her face changed: "Sivis, notify the ministries to stop advancing and prepare to retreat."

I was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to check the situation: "Wait a minute, what's going on?"

"It's the fleet traffic record and the detailed information of each node of the World Gate," Sandora pointed to the holographic image in front of her, "it's so detailed that it's abnormally detailed, and it fits perfectly with the 'map' we obtained before. No more, no less, pieced together the teleportation coordinates and their respective defense forces of nearly a hundred universes in this area... "

Before Sandora finished speaking, the communicator next to us lit up, and the big face of Odysseus appeared on the holographic projection: "Your Majesty! This is the Seventh Fleet, and we have successfully captured the target universe , a complete database was salvaged from the enemy's sovereign hub, and the database contained... "

"Let me think about it, a list of transmission coordinates, fleet traffic records in recent months, the size of each world gate and the military weight of the universe they are in," Sandora looked at Odysseus, " What else is there?"

Odysseus also seemed to realize that something was wrong here: "Your Majesty, your side..."

"Well, similarly, once or twice can be said to be due to the chaos in the abyss area that caused the enemy's border guards to make mistakes in the rush. If it happens the third time, it is really hard to believe that this is not a conspiracy," Sandora held her hands Standing up on the table, "Have you encountered any abnormalities on your side now?"

"There is no abnormal situation, and the previous battle is also very normal. The enemy's counterattack is very tenacious, and before we blow up the sovereign hub, they have been sending reinforcements to this universe, and there is no sign of deliberately releasing water to lure the enemy deep. If this It's a trap... The price is too high, they have already lost the sovereignty of three universes... "

"There are four now," Sandora suddenly switched on another channel, "First Fleet, report your situation."

Just now the First Fleet sent a regular contact application, but it was temporarily suspended because Sandora was talking to Odysseus, and now a holographic image of the Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet appeared above the communicator: "Your Majesty, The First Fleet has successfully captured the target universe. We salvaged a database from the wreckage of the enemy’s sovereign hub. The database is basically complete, and it contains…”

Sandora and I said in unison: "There is a map, right?"

The Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet was stunned for two seconds: "It's the same on your side?"

"In short, all troops pay attention, stop advancing now, temporarily stand by in the world you have captured, build a temporary world gate to prepare for confluence at any time, and throw out all your void disruptors to prevent the enemy from counterattacking," Sandra said. order, and then connected to the channel of the Celestial System Fleet, "Have you found any abnormalities at the base camp?"

The commander-in-chief of the Celestial System Fleet is a tall and thin man with sharp eyes like an eagle. I remember this as a sharp and calm officer. His figure appeared in the holographic image and saluted Sandora and me: " Your Majesty, everything is normal in the base camp, and the front-line fortress has been fully deployed to resist the enemy's strong counterattack."

Knowing that the base camp has been stabilized, Shandora and I finally let go of the slightly suspended hearts, and Sandora nodded: "How is the enemy's movement?"

The Celestial System fleet is equipped with void scanning equipment that is far more powerful than other fleets, and those behemoths can carry fixed fort-level telemetry radars on their bodies as shipboard equipment, so they are the current frontline telemetry stations of the Imperial Army, Celestial System The fleet monitors the situation on the border of the abyss area to prevent the enemy's army from counterattacking at any time—although their main force is still held by the Protoss on another front, it is always good to be careful.

"The information sources that radiate into this universe have been scanned many times, and it is confirmed that the enemy has about four army armies gathering on the front line, but we have already demolished their sovereign facilities, and these fleets cannot directly jump over."

"Consolidate the defense lines before they arrive," Sandora waved her hand, "Also be vigilant, and give an early warning if there is a large-scale military mobilization in the abyss area."

Then she hung up the communication and looked up into my eyes: "The four group armies... are just a normal scale of reinforcements, which is about the same as what we expected before. If there is really a trap here, the enemy should send more people here. Ah Jun , I can't figure it out."

The current situation is very disturbing: we have attacked four worlds in a row, and the local fallen apostle garrison officers have made the same mistake: they did not destroy the things with military secrets when the positions were broken, so the situation inside must be abnormal place. However, it is a fact that the enemy's defenders fought tenaciously throughout the battle, and judging from the current situation, we can't see any traps in this, so even a veteran on the battlefield like Sandora is caught in a dilemma.

"Xiaoxue," I looked at the bear kid king who was having a good time circling on the suspension seat next to me, "Foretelling."

Xiaoxue did not make any jokes this time, but gave a hint: "First, integrate the information collected by each fleet."

Counting what was salvaged in the previous fortress universe, the Imperial Army now has a total of four sovereign hub databases, which store four detailed world gate access files and border military weight distribution maps. Under Xiaoxue's prompt, These four pieces of information were quickly integrated together—a road map that could be described in detail was presented to everyone.

It was short of saying "Welcome".

Our whole family gathered together regardless of whether they understood or not, Sandora pointed to the transmission network displayed on the holographic projection: "This is our current location, a relatively remote node, this is the main node, that is, The first fortress world was captured by the Imperial Army, and the other two were captured by the First Fleet and the Seventh Fleet. This network is very detailed... There is no omission, and there are many overlapping coverages of the transmission nodes in the four documents This is an obvious backup behavior. I doubt that even if we are attacking another world this time, we will be able to spell out this distribution map quickly. This is almost as if it was specially prepared for the Imperial Army. "

I looked at this "map" thoughtfully, and I know I'm not an expert in this field, but I can still understand the visual schematic diagram: it's like a partial detailed map of a spider web, with the edges of the spider web All lines are clearly presented in front of us. Looking at it, I found that there seems to be something interesting about this transmission network: "Look here... this world seems a bit special."

Qianqian scratched her head and looked at it for a while: "The number in this world is particularly long?"

I:"… "

"This world is the only one that has been 'marked' four times. If the world coordinates mentioned in the passage log are regarded as a 'mark' dedicated to guiding the imperial army, then this world is clearly marked on purpose "Sandora also saw the way: In this network map composed of four sets of data, each transmission node has a footnote, which indicates how many times the transmission node has been mentioned in the four data , this footnote was only used by the operators responsible for integrating the data to help identify the original source of each piece of data, but it now points us to a clear coordinate point: a place that looks like a network hub.

"Could it be just a coincidence?" My sister rubbed her chin and said uncertainly, "There are records of sending materials to this world in the four databases, maybe it's just a traffic artery—you take every railway in China I copied the dispatch record of the trunk line, and I’m sure more than half of them can see Zhengzhou Railway Station…”

Sandora didn't speak, but quickly operated the data terminal in front of her. She re-divided and reorganized the "coordinate map" composed of four sets of data, which seemed to be an irregular grid, several times, and used various method to simulate the possibility of this map being crossed due to coincidence, and finally she shook her head: "It should not be a coincidence, except for this world, all nodes only appear twice at most, as if it is specially designed to highlight It looks like it. In addition, if you look at the last route map, this jump route seems unreasonable. There should be a better jump route from this border world marked as ES-35D65 to the inland, but in order to use this special The world is more clearly marked, and the records show that there is a fleet passing by it in a detour—this is obviously a detour. The fleet does not perform any missions, but keeps jumping around in this world, leaving behind this road map .”

"In addition, there is a material delivery list here," Xiaoxue flipped through the materials besides the route map, and she transmitted what she found to the holographic projection in front of everyone, "It says here: delivery record, inside Land sent to the border, the mid-way jump station is KN-22D (that is, the world that caught our attention, the number of the fallen apostles is KN-22D), the list of materials to be transported: stones."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: Stone!

"The border world doesn't need any stones," Sandora leaned back on the chair, "any military outpost doesn't need stones... This 'freight train' is not for delivery at all, it's just for getting from KN- 22D passed by. Ah Jun, you are right, there must be something wrong in this world."

"I feel like this is a secret signal?" Bingtis looked at me and then at Sandora, "It takes a lot of time to leave the location of key points in the traffic records by frequently dispatching troops, but as long as we If you can see these materials, you will immediately find this KN-22D."

Although Sister Bing usually looks careless and sloppy, in fact, her mind is as delicate as Sandora. She is the master who started saving the world hundreds of millions of years ago. How can she not see through such a simple thing—Bingtis As soon as this "signature" was spoken, everyone nodded, and imagine that the databases of the four worlds were "miraculously" preserved, and the local fallen apostle garrison did not follow the rules to blow up these Memory, I believe that they are the "signposts" left by someone specially for the Imperial Army.

The identity of this "someone" seems to be coming out.

"Could it be left by Abyss Xiling?" My sister thought of something with me, and spoke first, "Maybe these strange things on the border are not traps, and Abyss Xiling just left us a signpost."

"Hmm, I would rather believe that even if she left a road sign, it was a conspiracy," Sandora snorted coldly, "We have seen the cunning of Abyss Xiling many times, even if this thing is really just a road sign, I also don't believe KN-22D is a good place."

"It's not easy." I smiled and stood up, "Let's go and see if it's right."

Bingtis put her chin on her forehand, pretending to be far-sighted and full of schemes. As soon as I said this, she slipped out and slipped under the table on the spot. Sandora looked at me with a strange expression: "You really plan to go to this inexplicable The place?"

"What else?" I opened my hands to Sandora, "We are not guests in the abyss area, even if we don't see these road maps, we will get to that KN-22D sooner or later, and such an obvious guide, if There is an ambush... Abyss Xiling is too stupid to toss around."

Sandora thought for a while and finally began to nod, and seemed to think that I had some reason: "Okay, you can go to that world to see the situation, but you must be fully prepared first, it is best to bring a 'big guy' there, who can resist Apocalyptic."

Then a large group of us looked at the holographic projection in the center of the command hall in unison: the Warsong was happily circling around a dim brown dwarf star.

Maybe it's because the shipboard AI has a sixth sense, and the second lunatic immediately yelled in the public channel: "This ship feels that someone is peeping at this ship!"

I connected to the communication with the Vengeance Fleet: "Grand Warlord, the Vengeance Fleet has a new mission, and the next target is KN-22D. Don't turn around, you two lunatics. Your revolution speed obviously does not conform to scientific common sense, okay? Revolving at the speed of light, you almost tore apart the stars!"

"This ship feels like it's fighting again!" The second lunatic suddenly became happy, "What is KN-22D? Do you want to blow it up?"

"I'm still not sure whether it was a war or a visit in the past. Anyway, prepare for battle. There is not much peace in the abyss area." Sandora waved her hand, and then assigned tasks to various ministries. The system fleet sent another ten star warships here to establish a base to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. The fortress ships of the second echelon and the seventh fleet continued to stay in place. The remaining high-mobility troops came with the Royal Fleet. It is not sure what the KN-22D has. , bringing more manpower is always useful.”

Whenever the imperial fleet attacks the next world, the first thing to do is to build a temporary world gate locally. While initially controlling sovereignty, it also facilitates the rapid transfer of troops. Therefore, the deployment of the new fleet is quickly completed. The Vengeance Army and half of the The Royal Fleet, together with a large number of highly maneuverable Expedition-class warships, formed a powerful new army and marched towards KN-22D.

Someone should have seen it: this joint fleet focuses on quick response and high offensiveness. Except for the necessary, we have left most of the fortress ships in the rear to consolidate the position. Sandora's meaning is very clear: KN-22D is not Any important military node, even if it is occupied, does not meet her "marking" requirements, so the fleet used to check the situation and destroy the enemy's vital forces. It may be a big fight, but we have no intention of occupying that world for a long time.

The fleet soon arrived at the world border of KN-22D and stopped at the edge of the material world. The commander of the leading force reported the situation of the world barrier in great surprise: "Your Majesty! The world barrier is not encrypted!"

"Does this mean welcome?" My sister couldn't help laughing under the circumstances, "Let's just jump in like this?"

"Jump!" Sandora said without hesitation, "It's already here anyway. Pay attention to all ministries, be vigilant, and put a batch of drones in first. Grand Warlord, you leave some special service ships on standby on the world barrier to prevent the enemy from suddenly Block this universe, and other troops, together with the Royal Fleet, enter the material world!"
