"We're going to build a city here"
This is the declaration of my ambition to stand on the top of the starship after the "Admiral of the Empire" was stably inserted into the ground to form a big cross.
As a result, the entire hundred-kilometer-class starship disintegrated.
The huge Crusader shell disintegrated in an instant, and was divided into complex building parts according to the delineated form. Numerous micro-engines attached to it were propelled down to the ground, assisted by thousands of "builders" who had already prepared, We began to self-assemble into large-scale war factories and empire shipyards. Our starships have integrated a large number of military modules, which has almost released more than 80% of the computing power of the Xiling hosts. Now they only need The thing I was thinking about was how to expand the silver-white ground around me as quickly as possible, and try my best to enclose the land for me in the shortest possible time.
The magnificent starship, like a collapsing mountain peak, landed on the ground like a torrential rain in a series of golden flashes and mechanical friction, and then spread out into a highly developed military town. It landed in the center of the city, forming two dotted green independent towns. The deafening roar accompanied the rapid disintegration of the "Admiral of the Empire" without interruption. At the same time, the huge city under our feet has begun to take shape.
This is only part of it. The other motherships that landed with us also hovered to the predetermined height at this moment, directly entered the disintegration process in mid-air, expanded and transformed into various functional buildings, and then landed on the ground with micron accuracy. On the open space planned by the city below.
The whole process lasted less than 20 minutes. A modern tourism with a radius of 300 kilometers, a hexagram shape, a reasonable layout, a complex structure, and a full viewing experience... Uh, the city was "smeared" on this land that had just experienced A cataclysmic surface of the planet.
And in the center of the city, the huge battleship that stood proudly here has completely disappeared, and only a blue crystal tower thousands of meters high with a mysterious halo stands there, and hundreds of projections are suspended around the crystal tower On the screen, Pandora's recruitment advertisement is played in a loop.
... that dead girl who is militaristic to the bone
But compared to these iron-blooded conscription advertisements, the cutscene of the King of Fighters interspersed in it is even more irritating, bastard
You crazy gamer who has been around the world for a long time, choose Athena Asamiya for me, idiot... Uh, oops, I slipped my mouth.
In the process of the "Empire Admiral" decomposing into the form of a major war town, the platform under our feet is also continuously falling. At this moment, it is the silver-white terrace on the top of the blue crystal tower. From this position, we can clearly see the distant The magnificent scene of magma erupting outside the energy shield.
Desperately hypnotized myself for half a day to ignore Liana jumping around on the floating screen 20 meters in front of the left and trying to forget the "redy? : "Okay, now that we have a city—if you don't catch up, you'll probably have to figure out a way to jump off yourself."
After finishing speaking, I waved my hand in the air: "Ti"
A transport boat that was about to fly over to pick us up almost fell on the spot.
Renault, who was suddenly awakened by me, blinked, and then touched Tex, who had dropped his cigar in his collar again and hadn't noticed yet: "I said, old man, I think we really met a big shot this time." gone."
Tex smoked from his neck (fortunately or unfortunately, his cigar was finally lit this time.), muttering to himself with dull eyes: "I have a hunch... those bugs will soon be in trouble... Jimmy , if I were you, I should swear allegiance to these gangsters now, this is definitely a good opportunity to make a lot of money... "
Renault shrugged and walked forward: "When the army is finished resting, we will leave immediately. Your suggestion sounds good, but unfortunately I don't think we have the life to play those."
"How? The city?"
Walking on the wide and tidy downtown streets, I looked around proudly and asked the bearded man next to me.
That's right, this is a bragging post, why not
The bearded man, who smelled of alcohol, was already dazzled and turned a deaf ear to my question. He just looked around desperately, trying to find anything he could understand, such as street lights or something...
Now this is no longer the flagship of the "Imperial Admiral", but should be called "General City". Of course, it is impossible for citizens to walk around in this city, but only a large number of heavily armed imperial soldiers and agile individual soldiers. Although the vehicle is called a military fortress-type city, there is not much depressing and rigid atmosphere here. From this point of view, Bubble's work is still in place.
The disintegrated general flagship and other motherships form the main part of General City, and the builder, who is directly controlled by a certain Xiling host in the Xiling brood in the city center, has now begun to explore the entire silver earth energy shield Outside the region, they will build countless war factories, making Pandora's militaristic dreams bloom everywhere-this is the first time I have completely indulged that girl's crazy war plan.
After knowing that this star area is occupied by the most dangerous Zerg in the world of "StarCraft", we became vigilant. Although we have absolute advantages in technology and personal strength, the number of Zerg in units of billions and its evolution The physical strength to be able to carry out interstellar wars determines that they are definitely not the enemies that can be crushed before. The simplest example is the planet under our feet. The brain worm can detonate on the star body of EP-03 Although a large part of the reason is that it mobilized a large number of low-level Zerg to form a human shield for itself at the last moment, it is undeniable that this guy did not follow Athena's call and turned into a saint What a pity.
Pandora and Viska personally went to solve the cerebrate. This was not a difficult task. Firstly, despite possessing certain thinking ability and occupying a high position among the Zerg, the combat power of the cerebrate itself was not very good. Secondly, ... Two leader-level Xiling apostles competed in throwing floating cannons all over the sky. Except for the legendary Queen of Blades, I really can't figure out what other powers can survive this kind of attack.
Seeing the unsatisfactory expressions on the faces of the two little guys after they came back, I knew how this unilateral massacre ended lightly.
However, the two little girls still brought back a piece of interesting news—strictly speaking, it was the news brought back by Pandora. Even though she was also a passionate war madman, Pandora still had a bit more military mind than her crazy sister.
That brain worm had already begun to evolve before it was wiped out.
It is trying to adapt to the sudden high temperature of the entire planet and the deadly psionic radiation in the surrounding air, and has created a "test" worm that can survive in magma for a short time, although it is unlikely to evolve into a psionic worm. In the radiation, you can still be composed of steel and iron, but the exaggerated ability to mutate and adapt is enough to make us vigilant.
"The Queen of Blades should have known about your arrival now," Renault reminded me suddenly while walking on the streets of General City, "Although I still don't understand how powerful you are, don't underestimate the Zerg, they are absolutely The most dangerous creatures in this universe, the Zerg that you wiped out today can even be ignored... "
"I know," I shrugged, my expression still relaxed, "so we are rapidly expanding our strength, for example—look at that."
Following my fingers, Renault saw Xiling soldiers lined up in a newly assembled imperial barracks. Everyone was armed to the teeth, and the individual hand cannons in their hands were thicker than their waists.
Although not as tall as human power armor, you have to admit that these Xiling soldiers were born to be used by children.
Renault stared blankly at the barracks, which was just a large sheet of metal, spewing out soldiers in battalion formations, and after a long time said tremblingly: "It seems... you are really the nemesis of the Zerg in some ways... er , what is that?"
I followed Lei Nuo's fingers curiously, then paled instantly, and pounded the ground.
If the huge thing in front is better developed, it should be a Ferris wheel...
Tex scratched his face: "Is that an artwork unique to your race? Urban sculpture or something?"
Before I could answer, a small white figure rushed towards me like a gust of wind, accompanied by a series of random syllables of "Yiyi Yaya" that no one could understand.
"Ugh"
Little Bubble, who was wearing a white princess dress, hung herself around my neck very skillfully, and then cheerfully freed up a little finger to point at the huge twisted oval-shaped mechanical structure in the distance, swinging back and forth, looking extremely excited , it is obvious that the little guy is extremely proud of his favorite work.
At least one thing I can be sure of is that the evolvable host Xiling does possess powerful creativity.
Originally, I didn't plan to bring Little Bubbles with me this time. After all, going millions of light years away to destroy the Zerg doesn't sound very safe, but I have already promised the little guy not to leave her in the At home, under the great fear of my daughter's crying, I reluctantly chose to surrender—but under the protection of millions of imperial troops, no one can hurt this little princess, right
"Is this your wife?"
Renault, who had seen Bubbles on the holographic projection, asked dumbfoundedly. It was quite strange that such a little angel suddenly flew out of such an iron-blooded alien base. The guy who just threatened to throw himself in the reactor...
"My daughter." I smiled awkwardly, and then frantically tried to remove the little bubble.
I was wrestling with the little koala-like Bubble, and Lilina turned around wobbly. She was enthusiastically greening the entire city. Wherever she passed, there were rows of pines and cypresses, lush vegetation, and greenery. The lush, super-alloy ground is strangely covered with blooming flowers, and the whole person is like a pot of high-efficiency compound fertilizer that can walk—even though she claims to be the footsteps of a spring fairy.
"How about you, Boss? Wouldn't it be great to build a Central Park here? I've asked Little Bubbles to help design the playground."
Lilina bluffed with me regardless of the occasion.
I was embarrassed again, turned my head and smirked: "My... sister..."
Tex and Renault were stunned for a while, and then said in unison: "Are you really here to deal with the Zerg?"
I was dumbfounded: Meow, I’m used to vacations
It has been the third day since it landed on this planet named Black Egg.
By the way, should I complain about the word black egg
Well, let’s get down to business, it’s been three days since we landed here. During this time, our development has been quite smooth. Ninety percent of the factories and functional buildings in General City have been put into use, continuously replenishing our regular troops. , here is indeed as Reynolds said, barren and remote, but problems such as barrenness have always been meaningless to the Apostles of Xiling. In the case of urgent need for resources, they can even transform them from any kind of atom. The advantage of remoteness is that we don't have to worry about someone coming to disturb us.
By the way, the Central Park jointly established by Lilina and Little Bubbles has finally officially opened for business.
Renault expressed his intention to leave yesterday morning, but for the time being, we still need such a local contact to help, so he was retained by me. In addition to the two days of getting along, he was also on guard against the Imperial Army at the beginning. It has been reduced a lot, and after realizing that we are quite friendly, he stayed here unceremoniously. Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that his soldiers, especially those female soldiers, have been completely overwhelmed by Little Bubbles. The strange and weird entertainment facilities that came out were conquered—for the first time, I discovered that this stupid little daughter of mine still has the talent for soft conquest.
The morning of Black Egg Star is quite long. Sandora and I are taking a walk around the park with Little Bubbles. Normally, this process will continue until Sandora is hungry (her stomach has almost been regarded as a clock by me. Come to use), but something seems to happen today, a sudden sound of metal friction interrupted the discussion between Sandora and me about Jingdezhen porcelain or Mexican barbecue.
Vega in the form of a scorpion rushed over from a distance in a hurry, and then stopped in front of us with an itchy brake sound.
"Vega, what's going on?" I frowned and asked.
Sister Scorpion first quickly adjusted her appearance, and then "snapped" a military salute: "Report sir, our probe has found a beacon signal in low earth orbit and suspects that there are intruders approaching this star."
There was a gust of wind blowing beside me, accompanied by the continuous sound of piercing through the air. When I turned my head, Pandora and Viska were standing in front of me, ready to go. The eyes of the two thousand-year-old 1.2 meters could almost emit high concentration The Helium 3 comes.
Didn't you have enough fun fighting that brain worm just now, so your blood needs to be cooled down
Unidentified spaceships are approaching. Although we will not strangle them with a gravitational trap indiscriminately, the entire Imperial Legion has immediately entered a combat alert, and the defense forces left in space have all entered a state of space invisibility. Then, with a completely shameless attitude, he began to arrange space mines everywhere. It is obvious that this army commanded by a black super uncle has developed an extremely insignificant fighting habit in the process of confronting urban management all the year round. It was once famous for its crazy attack. The Pandora's Heavy Armored Legion has fallen to this point, which makes people have to lament the great harm of the piracy industry.
We gathered in the crystal tower in the center of General City, which has become the command center of the entire planetary defense system. The large-scale projection system in the center of the hall is obviously from the bridge of the former "Admiral of the Empire", and it is broadcasting high-definition broadcasts from near to us. The scene in Earth orbit.
A large-scale fleet—although it is not comparable to the entire First Army of the Empire, it is at least larger in number than the batch of Protoss who were playing soy sauce just now, and since all the Imperial warships in space have been invisible, the huge mothership group has also been destroyed. We spread out into a city on the ground, and this fleet of thousands of ships still looks quite deterrent.
"Human style."
With just a glance, Bubbles could tell the race the fleet belonged to.
"Twenty-two battle cruisers, three hundred heavy frigates, and more than a thousand light frigates and assault ships. In terms of interstellar warfare, this size can only be regarded as a small force. It seems that this place is too remote. , the opponent did not have time to prepare enough large army."
In other words, non-threatening opponents—even without using those hidden imperial fleets, just sending a leader-level apostle in the past can handle these fragile primitive legions and fight in space. The strength of the Xiling people is geometrically multiple surged.
"It's Mengsk's army..." Renault's face was serious, his knuckles turned white from clenching hard, "their noses are really good."
"After all, our actions have been a little too loud," I shrugged. "Even if this place is remote, they should come to the door."
At this time, Bubble suddenly interrupted me: "The child's father, the other party sent a contact request."
I nodded and asked her to take over the communication, and a tall white man wearing an independent federal military uniform and a serious expression appeared on the holographic projection. Looking at the background behind him, it should be a place like a bridge.
"Nice to meet, friends from afar. I am the commander of the Independent Federation, Denton Sentis. On behalf of the great Mengsk the Great, I would like to extend my welcome to all of you from afar."
The unfamiliar commander may have been a little surprised by our human appearance, but the calmness of the soldier made him quickly cover up this expression, and then said solemnly.
Welcome with twenty-two battlecruisers
"Commander of the Human Empire," I nodded, "I am the Emperor of the Xiling Empire, but before we started talking, did you notice that you have entered the airspace of the Empire now?"
Although it is not clear why the other party is here, it is not a good idea to show weakness when meeting for the first time.
The expression on the face of the commander named Denton did not change at all, but he replied with a military stereotype: "Perhaps this is the case in your opinion, but I need to explain one thing: this star sector is first and foremost the territory of the Independent Federation. ...Of course, the planet you are on now has no sovereignty, and the purpose of my visit this time is not to discuss this issue. As I said at the beginning, I am here on behalf of the great Mengsk the Great All are welcome."
No matter how you look at it, the sincerity of this welcome is quite limited. Rather than saying it is a welcome, it is better to say that it is inquiring about the reality of us outsiders who suddenly appeared. However, it is obvious that since our fleet is all hidden in the folds of space, and the ground The degree of threat to the outer space fleet of the city above has always been a joke, and this officer named Denton's self-confidence is too inflated.
