"What do you think of this fortress?"
Steele and I were sitting on the bench in front of the fountain in the church area, looking up at the clear sky simulated by the light blue energy shield above, I suddenly asked in a chatting tone.
Steele was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply: "Miracle, a miracle beyond the limit of human imagination, even if I was killed 48 hours ago, I would never have imagined that I would have such a miraculous experience... Ha, alien planet, this concept should not appear in In the minds of members of the magic side?"
"And the irony is that, in contrast to you, those forces on the scientific side can't play much role in this interstellar war at all—speaking of which, you won't be entangled in this issue, right?"
Not having a cigarette seemed to make Stiyl feel a little restless. He touched his pocket habitually, then put his hand down depressedly, and said sullenly: "It's been a habit for many years. Rejection is like smoking addiction, it is not so easy to quit."
I smiled slightly: "Well, I think you should at least have the concept that the earth is round."
"... Nonsense, do you take me for a fool?"
"Then let me tell you now, the place where this imperial fortress was built, this black planet of death, its volume is even larger than the earth, and the various rare mineral resources it contains are equivalent to thirty-seven times that of the earth , and less than a month ago, this place was occupied by hundreds of millions of powerful beings, 300 million Zerg warriors turned into fireworks on the battlefield outside the sky above your head, and one tenth of them It is enough to bloodbath any country on the earth, but this planet is just the most inconspicuous gravel in this star area. In the era of the most intense war here, even several such planets were destroyed every day. Light up as a flash of light in the universe, you may not have any impression of these, then look around you, those warriors from various worlds who may seem strange to you, they are strong, tenacious, and each has the mission to save the world Great deeds, each one of their race's heroes and even emperors, the most powerful of them were even once considered demigods, but here, on the front lines of the empire, they are all soldiers, fighting for glory and victory fighters, even to describe them bluntly, they are all recruits."
I patted Stiyl on the shoulder and stood up.
"You have to be aware of it. I heard that there is a saying that is circulating among the Holy Expeditionary Forces here recently. I also send this sentence to you: 'Here to witness the insignificance of oneself and the shallowness of human beings." I have not demeaned human beings in any way meaning, but I hope you can understand that becoming an epic is not necessarily full of lofty ambitions, here you'd better give up all prejudices in your heart-that thing is not worth mentioning in the eyes of every street sweeper here joke. "
After being silent for a long time, Steele finally took out a cigarette decisively, snapped his fingers to light it, and took a deep puff before letting out a long breath comfortably, and said in a low voice: "Well, Your Majesty, your words are really impolite. People feel very uncomfortable, but I admit that now I have somewhat agreed with your statement... This is the end of the world, and the ones who sell CDs are all savior-level, and no one really cares about human beings... But no matter what Say, let's fight in power armor...you can figure it out."
The expression on my face tightened subtly, and then I gritted my teeth: "The one who sells CDs... he just sells CDs."
"It's really a wonderful and merciless slap in the face," just as the topic between Steele and I was about to turn to such a strange direction as the piracy industry was rampant in General City and Xiling people urgently needed to establish an urban management organization, a familiar person, A naughty girl's voice suddenly sounded from behind, "But, my great angel, can you tell me, are we fighting for the gods now?"
I turned my head, and sure enough, Laura Stewart and Kanzaki Kaori were standing there. The former had a sly smile on his face, his hands were behind his back, and he leaned forward slightly to ask me.
"Fight for the gods..." I showed a serious look quite cooperatively, "If you are talking about a god who can create the earth, I can tell you quite clearly that we can do this as simply as eating and drinking water, The so-called gods, if you put aside the symbolic meaning in everyone's heart, they are nothing more than a more powerful form of life. The so-called God is in the heart. As long as you think that you are fighting for your beliefs, that is enough-leave In the cage of the earth, no one here cares whether the people who come to meet him have the same beliefs as themselves, can this explanation be okay?"
"Whatever," Laura waved her hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, I have seen with my own eyes what the true ultimate life should look like. The combination of science and mystery may be the ultimate way out for human beings. Asking you that question is only a matter of time." I just want to get some psychological support, so let me give you an explanation by the way."
What an irresponsible statement... I really have nothing to say to this fox girl.
"At least don't embarrass the people on Earth." I scratched my hair with a helpless expression. "After all, you are a modern person who has entered the 21st century. Don't even compare with those people from other worlds in the feudal era."
Having said that, I am not too worried about whether these people brought by Laura will still stick to the opposition to the power of science. Although they are members of the magic side, the magicians of the Puritan Church in England are definitely not like The Roman Orthodox Church is so rigid, and has experienced such huge impacts as the meteorite attack and the rescue of aliens, the sharp opposition between the science side and the magic side in the forbidden world has already been greatly alleviated—of course, there are many aspects to this relief For example, the science side has become a puppet force under our control, for example, the Roman Orthodox Church was ignored by the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven in the salvation operation, and their power, which has always claimed to be orthodox, has been weakening day by day, and for example, Lola, the number one figure on the magic side, is simply my staff...
Speaking of which, has the entire Forbidden World come under our control before we know it
The Salvation Army, which was gathered earlier and has experience in similar joint wars, took on the duties they thought of. They explained to the recruits gathered from various worlds about the Divine Expeditionary Army, which is based on the highest dogma of the Salvation Army. , after being simplified, the general rules applicable to soldiers in every world are mainly absolute unity, eliminating all racial disputes, tolerating differences in ideas as much as possible, and taking ultimate glory and victory as the only full text for fighting for it25] 80. ~Targets, and other things that sound as extreme as cults, but such iron-blood beliefs seem to arouse the heroism in the hearts of fighters of all races, and they are fighting against the captured Zerg "targets" After a simulated battle, the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army were even more motivated to find that their strength had increased dramatically—they apparently forgot the frightening fact that our enemies may number hundreds of billions in total.
Forget it, fighting spirit is not a bad thing anyway, those ravens should be able to teach their students well.
The various military modules of General City have entered normal operation, our troops are continuously increasing rapidly, and the other six imperial fleets serving as pioneers have established relatively stable front-line fortresses in the sky area near us, including Black Egg Including planets, there are currently about thirteen military fortress-type planets under the control of the Imperial Fleet. Of course, these planets are all desolate without exception: we have not planned to compete with the aborigines here for precious ecological planets, Anyway, there is almost no lower limit to the extreme survival environment of the Xiling people, and there is no need for us to go to war with the three major races in the entire star area for some sightseeing spots-it is enough for us to drink a pot if they want to unite to resist the invasion of the empire.
"Except for the main army of the Empire who seemed to be patronized by someone's unlucky aura and had several encounters in a row, the other expeditionary corps are progressing well," Sandora pointed out to us on the holographic projection in the tactical hall in the crystal tower Xing Tu complained about me subtly. To be honest, I wondered if I accidentally contacted my sister one day when I found a remote planet that didn’t shit and encountered enemy troops one after another. Manufactured cursed items, naturally, I can't refute Sandora's complaints at all, "Now we are here, and our other control planets are on six points around—basically symmetrical, guaranteed The fleet produced by each fortress planet can be assembled in the shortest possible time at the lowest cost. The expeditionary forces of various worlds have been led by the ravens recently transferred from the shadow city to these fortresses to serve as surprise troops. According to the report submitted by Renault According to intelligence, we have discovered ten planets occupied by Zerg in the sky zone, and these places will be listed as the primary attack targets."
I blinked my eyes and studied the gaudy holographic star map, and found that I had to find where I was for a long time before I gave up decisively: "Okay, the war of annihilation or the war of occupation, we now have enough destructive weapons, but the number of landing troops is still Inadequacies—especially launching a war on ten planets at the same time.”
"You can rest assured that more than half of these ten planets are desolate lands completely destroyed by the Zerg. It is enough to burn the entire planet to ashes, and the remaining few planets are all human colonies. Those colonists seem to have just retreated. Soon, their desperate counterattack before the evacuation caused the number of Zerg on the planet to drop sharply. The difficulty of the landing battle should not be too great, but we better hurry up. In a few days, the fecundity of the bugs will make the surface covered. their larvae."
"I have a question"
Listening to us arranging this kind of war on the interstellar level almost in a daze, Laura didn't find a chance to intervene until now, and immediately raised her hand loudly to attract our attention.
Except for the chief bishop who always likes to pretend to be a little girl, the expeditionary forces from all over the world watched calmly—they couldn't understand what the "saviors" were discussing at all.
"Let's talk." I frowned, not knowing what kind of trouble this top bishop was planning to make.
"Can I ask... shall we just eliminate those monsters one by one until all the Zerg planets in the entire galaxy are wiped out?"
"Of course not," I shook my head immediately. Since we are all our own people, it's okay to tell the emperor's plan. It's not a secret anyway. "We plan to overthrow these planets one by one until we attract their queens, the Queen of Blades." Have absolute control over all Zerg, and then everything will be easy."
It was only yesterday afternoon, and Cirvanas, who had been drowsy and drowsy due to the cross-plane transmission, immediately revived with full blood: "Do I need to use undead magic to control her?"
"Of course not," I said, and then I turned my head to look at Lei Nuo, who was listening while drinking, "Our next plan is to let Ren Nuo pick her up."
"puff"
Uncle Renault spat out a mouthful of old blood more than three meters away, and then slid down from the chair with a bang.
"There is a bad relationship between them, and it should be possible to soak it up."
Lilina added a sentence out of fear that the world would not be chaotic, and immediately, the leaders of various ethnic groups who were a little stunned were completely replaced by horror.
Representatives of various ethnic groups unscrupulously watched Uncle James Renault, who was almost choked to death by the high-concentration vodka just now.
The two sides fell silent for a few seconds, and Laura was finally the first to come back to his senses. With an expression of admiration, he comforted Uncle Renault, who was almost turned into a ball of ashes: "God taught us to be tolerant—don't worry, I won't discriminate against you." Yours."
A red light flashed in Cirvanas' eyes, and he shrugged to Renault and said, "You are indeed very courageous, but I still have a lot of single female zombies under my command, maybe you can consider a change?"
Uncle Renault finally weathered...
"Okay, that's it. We will send the specific action plan to the command centers of various ethnic groups later. The meeting is adjourned now"
After everyone dispersed, I came to Renault who was still looking at the sky blankly, and I reached out and shook his eyes: "Okay, Uncle Beard, now let's discuss the relationship between you and Kerrigan. Sample?"
"How do you know..." Renault seemed to realize the problem at this time, but he quickly shook his head in relief, "Anyway, with your technology, it's easy to know these things."
… By the way, is there an inevitable connection between high technology and the prosperity of the gossip industry
"Okay, I'm just giving you some reassurance. We'll take care of everything. If Kerrigan can really come back, we don't mind helping her."
I patted Renault on the shoulder, pulled him up from the ground, and said something that surprised him.
In this way, presumably he will definitely help us with all his heart.
When I came out of the command center, Lilina walked beside me and chatted with me through a spiritual connection: "Is it necessary to go to such trouble to help that bearded man? Just ask Cirvanas to transform the blade with undead magic Queen is so simple"
"The real interstellar world is different from the game. Having a guide who is proficient in the local conditions can save a lot of trouble."
"Cut... just say it when the old man has a mental breakdown," Lilina muttered, "I thought you planned to bring Kerrigan into the harem by the way."
"...you will have no bonus next month."
"When did you ever give me a bonus you fascist boss"
The full-scale attack on the Zerg was carried out smoothly according to the original plan. Relying on the foul production method of the Xiling host, we have accumulated a huge fleet in a short period of time by relying on the expansion speed comparable to that of the Zerg. The colonies of the empire marched, burning seven planets polluted by Zerg in just three days, and the progress of the landing battle was a little slow. Although they were the first military operations to be launched, the advancement of the ground troops was impossible after all. Compared with the shock wave of EP-03, and those mixed forces from various worlds also need time to adapt, we can't let too many precious soldiers sacrifice in vain in the cold space of another world because of lack of experience, which makes those commanders The Ravens also chose a relatively conservative way of advancing.
Overall, however, our progress has been smooth.
"Currently, the Stormwind Front Army of Azeroth and the Vidis Empire Front Army have purified 70% of the land on planet 8. 'Cockroach Buster No. 1' has begun to grow under their protection. That planet can be regarded as It's done." In the command center of General City, Sandora introduced to me the current situation of the army's advancement, but when it came to the "cockroach buster", even Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help but pause for a moment. "In addition, the Thunder Bluff Front Army and the Armored Scorpion Legion encountered some troubles on planet 10. After experiencing the chaos at the beginning, the Zerg's racial defense ability seemed to have been activated, and the planet was covered with dozens of meters high The huge thunder beasts and mutated flying dragons, all the low-level units seem to have been used as nourishment by these superior forces, and it took a little price to deal with them, but since Pandora is serving as the warlord nearby, so... anyway, the only headache we have now, It is that the planet No. 10 that should have been kept was opened in the middle, and it is estimated that the humans in the independent federation will be nervous."
"Let them protest," I shrugged nonchalantly, "I can't tidy up my house by myself, and they complain that the floor has not been waxed when someone else sweeps the floor. There are so many problems."
But at this time, I didn't expect that the courage of the Independent Federation was really so fat—or, in other words, the courage of every race here is not small.
Just when our large-scale operation was about to come to an end, a patrol force located at the outermost edge of the empire's control area was suddenly attacked by a super-large-scale battlecruiser formation. Under the circumstances, the commander of this patrol team could only choose to retreat. Although he successfully used the hyperspace leap to escape from the opponent's attack, it can be said that this is the first time we have suffered setbacks in this sky zone, and the person who launched the attack—Mengsk fleet.
Just when we assembled a group of fleets and planned to fight back against this fleet that suddenly invaded the frontiers of the Empire, another group of patrolling troops was also attacked at the other end of the sky zone, and their situation was even worse than the first. Worse: The attackers were a group of unidentified Protos fleets. Facing an aircraft carrier formation that was almost ten times the number of their own, only two assault ships of that patrol team managed to break away.
The situation seems to be weird.
(Well, it’s time to ask for tickets as usual...) X
