"They stole the heart of the world," Bingtis looked at Sandora, then turned to look at me, "They have done this before."
Sandora's brows immediately frowned: the fallen apostles robbed the heart of the world. Of course we are not unfamiliar with their actions, because those guys have been doing this since the day we dealt with them!
Sandora looked at Bingtis very seriously: "Are they sure they are going for the Heart of the World? Or because they failed to attack by force, they can only take away the Heart of the World as the result of the battle?"
"Who knows, the situation is still unclear. The Gods of War are still investigating. You don't know how chaotic the battlefield is over there." Bingtis covered his eyes with his hands, looking very tired, "That is a border world.
It was originally located in the calmest area of the void, out of reach of the fallen apostles, so there were not many garrison troops. The madmen directly tore a hole in the material and illusory layers and rushed in, and suddenly appeared in the sky above the local Kingdom of God.
Fortunately, the defense officer over there reacted quickly and the Kingdom of God was not captured. However, except for the Kingdom of God, all the surrounding galaxies were raided by those madmen. By the time the army of Gods rushed over to support, the Heart of the World was gone.
Everything is in chaos, and it's hard to tell whether the fallen apostle went for the Heart of the World from the beginning or snatched it along the way... But to be honest, I have a bit of an ominous premonition. Although those guys are a little crazy, they can still fight.
They are never stupid, there must be a reason for everything they do."
I looked at Bingtis's half-dead state: "Why do you look so tired? Did you also go to the war?"
"Oh, the fight was already over when I arrived in the God Realm," Bingtis groaned and turned over, "When I got home, my parents said three things: When will we get married? When will we get married? Our granddaughter
Well - I have suffered from neurasthenia and haven't slept well for three days."
The little doll who was watching TV on the sofa next to him heard the word "granddaughter" and immediately slithered into the cracks of the sofa...
I looked at Bingtis with a tangled expression and thought to myself, can you imagine that the goddess would say these three words when she went home to face her parents? At present, it seems that Kuvain and his wife have almost lost their minds over this matter.
Sick.
Bingtis was grumbling and pretending to be seriously ill, looking like he was about to die. Sandora ignored her and didn't seem to be doing anything right at the moment. Instead, she was thinking about what the fallen apostle's action was.
What happened: "They haven't taken action against the Heart of the World for a long time. I almost thought that their actions were over. Now it seems that their activities of collecting the Heart of the World are still going on."
I thought of another thing: "If the heart of the world is taken away, will there be no problem in that universe?"
"If there is no one in charge of the world, it will basically collapse quickly due to disorder and entropy surge," Sandora shook her head. "But the Gods can reorganize its information entanglement points and refocus the world on
In the mind of an artificial world, it’s not a big problem.”
My sister sat down across from us. She seemed to have some thoughts: "Isn't the Fallen Apostle collecting the Heart of the World for some great cause? There was a pause before. We thought that their great cause was coming to an end, so there was no need to collect materials anymore. Now they
They are collecting world hearts again. Could it be because they encountered some problems with their 'great cause'?"
"I think so on the bright side," Sandora spread her hands, "but I'm used to thinking on the bad side. Maybe this is a sign of the beginning of great things. Anyway, I don't feel at ease if those guys make any movement.
."
Sandora and her sister were thinking about whether the "great cause" of the fallen apostles had reached a critical point, but what I was thinking about was another thing:
Why are the always cautious fallen apostles suddenly so high-profile? Why are their action styles suddenly different?
The territory of the Abyss Empire does not directly border the God Realm, and the worlds closest to each other are also tightly guarded. No one can win against the other, so there has never been a head-on war between them. Fall.
Although the apostles are powerful, they are ultimately weaker than the Star Territory. However, the Star Territory is constrained by the huge territory and the upcoming expedition, so they can only maintain this confrontation with the fallen apostles. No matter from any aspect
Look, as the weaker of the two, the Fallen Apostle should not take the initiative to break this stalemate: this is simply too irrational, and this is what welding detonators and sawing light bulbs are like.
If Bingtis's information is correct, the Fallen Apostle's surprise attack on the star field this time was an "expedition" and did not build a fortress. There was no springboard world, and a wave of expeditionary troops were directly sent to raid the Protoss mainland. Even a dabbler like me can see it.
The risk of this operation was huge. If they were not careful, the whole army might be wiped out on the front line. The only thing they could rely on was the advantage of surprise and quick action: to evacuate before they were surrounded by the protoss reinforcements.
"It feels like a blitzkrieg. Or like nomads, they just grab things and run away. Regardless of the consequences, it's just a temporary pleasure." I summarized my feelings. "I always feel that it is different from their past style of steady and steady tactics with frequent tricks.
Same."
Since coming into contact a few years ago, the fallen apostles have given people the impression of being steady and stable: although they have many tricks, often make shocking moves, and their actions are erratic, the fallen apostles always follow the principle of caution in the big picture. We use
It took several years to roughly understand how big their territory is, and they still don't know how much military power their opponents have. This shows how cautious they are.
If nothing else, they have never caused trouble to the Gods before, which is undoubtedly reducing the risk.
Shandora stood up suddenly, her resolute character reflected at that time: "I will go to the headquarters first. No matter what the situation is within the fallen apostles, in short, the empire will raise the alert level first. Maybe the next step for those crazy people is
Come here to enjoy the autumn breeze."
After the words fell, Sandora had disappeared into a distorted teleportation light curtain. Bingtis was still lying on Sandora's lap before. At this time, she was climbing up the armrest of the sofa: "Damn it, why can't you get up?
Say it and scare me!"
I grabbed Sister Bing's arm and helped her to the sofa: "Besides the attack by the fallen apostles, has anything else happened in the God Realm?"
Bingtis looked over with a strange look on his face: "Why do you sound like you are expecting something big to happen in the God Realm?"
I suddenly didn’t know what to say: “…Isn’t this a sign of concern?”
"It seems that nothing happened. When I went back, I saw that they were busy tracing the whereabouts of the invading army after that. The group of fallen apostles disappeared after being driven away. I don't know if that's the case.
He has already returned to his hometown. If he hasn't returned yet, he can be intercepted and killed on the way... But I think the chance is not high. You also know the fallen apostle's elusive ability."
"What are the plans in the God Realm?" I asked, "Is there anything we can do to help?"
In any case, the reason for the appearance of the fallen apostles is the remnant left by the old empire's hot-headedness. A group of passionate X-plans not only destroyed the foundation of the empire, but also left behind tens of thousands of years of legacy that have not dissipated but have continued to expand.
The disaster has caused even the gods to suffer. Now that the fallen apostles have become a disaster in the void, I feel a little embarrassed.
Bingtis slapped me on the shoulder and laughed manly: "Ah ha, that's enough. The Gods can handle it on their own. It would be too shameful to ask for support for even this little thing. Father God is here.
Summon experienced garrison officers and prepare to carry out 'activities' on the border of the Abyss Empire. In short, the expedition cannot be delayed, so we should try our best to select the best soldiers from the soldiers who can be mobilized."
Qian Qian has been listening to our discussion since just now, but she never said anything. At this time, when this girl saw that we had finished talking, she raised her hand: "Ajun, there is someone who is not very mature..."
I found that even Bingtis was trembling: Qianqian's immature idea was too coercive.
"You tell me, mature or immature will be discussed later." I waved my hand to Qianqian and asked her to just talk. Although this girl's ideas are not very logical in most cases, what is undeniable is her jumping ability.
Occasionally, my mind will have a flash of inspiration and bump into the truth.
"The Fallen Apostles will definitely not be able to defeat the Gods if they directly start a war with them," Qianqian told us about her reasoning process with her fingers. "They must have cut off their own retreat by starting a war with the Gods and the New Empire at the same time... Could it be?
Because they don’t need a retreat now?”
Bingtis leaned in front of Qianqian and said, "You mean they have no regrets in this life?"
I pushed this dishonest female gangster aside. Qian Qian continued: "Ajun, do you still remember when we were in the first grade and went to draw a little tortoise on the door of the homeroom teacher?"
When I mentioned this briefly, I immediately trembled all over: I not only remember it, but it was still fresh in my memory. It was a passionate July with the sun burning like fire and the earth burning like a furnace. I was still a bear with the dream of becoming a scientist when I grow up.
child, and then was encouraged by Qian Qian, who was also a naughty child, to draw a little tortoise on the door of the class teacher’s office all afternoon... Our thoughts at the time were this: Isn’t the final exam of the first grade over? Both naughty children thought that
This is the day of complete liberation. From now on, we no longer have to be controlled by the old lady who is the head teacher, so we all went to draw little tortoises to celebrate - and then we both realized that there is something called second grade in this world...
It was from that time on that I became wary of any ideas that came out of Qian Qian's mouth, but no matter how vigilant I was, it was useless. I was still fooled by her immature ideas for more than 20 years. To this day, I am still deceived.
I have been tricked over and over again, and my guess is that I will continue to be tricked until the end of time.
I silently put this painful memory back where it belongs, and I finally understood what Qian Qian meant: the fallen apostles today are just like those two naughty kids who brazenly painted little bastards in front of the homeroom teacher’s door because they are no longer needed in the future.
It was out of fear that he suddenly sought death like this.
It's just that those two naughty kids really succeeded in trying to commit suicide in the end, but the fallen apostles are not necessarily: maybe they really have "nothing to be afraid of anymore".
It’s so scary to think about it!
Sandora soon raised the early warning level of the empire by one level. The patrols of local defense forces began to increase, and the major fleets were also in a state of readiness for war. At the same time, the Abyss Independent Regiment also began to organize more spy troops to send troops to the Abyss Empire.
Infiltration, in short, we must find a way to find out what happened inside the fallen apostles, which caused such a big change in their behavior.
We also sent a group of military experts to the God Realm - of course, Bingtis said that the Gods do not need support, and their own army can deal with this threat. I also believe that Star Realm does have this strength, but this group of military experts
In the past, they were not used as a combat force. They were equivalent to consultants and think tanks. The Star Realm Protoss did not have many fights with the Fallen Apostles. Combat strength was one thing, and experience was another. Even if they were better at fighting than the Fallen Apostles, they could easily suffer losses due to their carelessness.
This time, the invasion force of the Fallen Apostles was able to withdraw from the Protoss territory unharmed. A large part of the reason was that the local Protoss garrison did not understand the enemy's movement patterns and fleet performance.
Therefore, we found about thirty experienced military advisors from the Sixth Fleet and the Abyss Independent Regiment and sent them to the God Realm to help the Gods analyze this border attack and perhaps find clues about the enemy's retreat.
Time flies so fast in the busyness. It seems that I am really a guy who can't take any time off. I have only been free for a few days when I encountered this kind of trouble. A few days passed in the blink of an eye. From the military consultant who went to the God Realm
The news that came back was not very good:
No clues were found about the Fallen Apostles' retreat. They seemed to evaporate out of thin air and disappeared into the void. It seemed that the opponent had already planned an evacuation plan before the attack. Since the Fallen Apostles' action path could not be found, they set up in the void.
Effective methods such as jump interference are naturally out of the question. The Protoss have to rely on increasing the number of border guards to prevent the enemy's next raid. In addition, it is impossible to determine which force of the Abyss Empire the invading troops belong to.
Naturally, Harlan couldn't analyze which "old friend" was responsible for this based on his memories of the Fallen Apostles camp.
This last point is particularly strange: During the fierce battle between the fallen apostles and the Gods, a large number of battleships were destroyed. The wreckage of those battleships is now in the hands of the Gods, but no one recognizes the emblems representing the forces on the wreckage of the battleships. Harlan has already seen it.
Those strange logos, he was sure that those logos did not belong to any fallen emperor he knew.
Of course, although there are many things that are still unclear, those military experts and the Protoss’ investigation team are not vegetarians. They are still sure of one thing, but this thing is even bigger bad news:
The fallen apostles are indeed aiming for the Heart of the World, and various signs indicate that their goal from the beginning is to snatch that thing.
Once this news was confirmed, many people immediately became restless. The mysterious "Great Cause" has always been a time bomb hanging over everyone's heads, and the Heart of the World is the most important part of the "Great Cause".
At first, the Fallen Apostles only stole the Heart of the World from the unmanaged native world of the void, and after encountering constant obstacles from the New Empire, they seemed to have put off this harmful behavior. Unexpectedly, they had been peaceful for so long.
They are waiting for the skill CD - now the ultimate move is ready. They have directly upgraded to running into the Gods' territory to grab things.
This incident brought a lot of pressure to everyone, and even Shandora was affected: she had lost her appetite for three consecutive days, so much so that I began to worry about whether the city's tableware manufacturing industry would be affected by this.
If this continues, K City Ceramics Factory No. 2 will become the first company on earth to be successfully affected by the fallen apostle...
In short, the more I thought about it, the more strange this matter became, and I finally decided to go to the God Realm.
Anyway, I usually just stop by from time to time: now the transportation between the God Realm and the capital of the empire is not as convenient as usual.
Shandora originally wanted to go with her. But considering the current troubled times, there must be someone in charge of the empire, so she could only stay and take charge of the overall situation. It is quite difficult to say that the new empire
Now, in theory, there are five emperors in charge. In addition to Shandora and I, my sister is the former queen of the empire, and Belavera and Harlan are both active heads of state. It stands to reason that there are many more people in charge of this place than before.
, but my sister is just a "former queen" and has lost all her memory. Bella Vera is still in a half-brain state (correctly). Sylvia, who has an independent timeline, usually spends most of the time outside, and finally haha
After all, Lan is a good coolie who can do things. In the end, the Abyss Independent Group is enough to keep him busy. After looking around, in the end, Sandora and I are the two people in charge of the new empire...
You said after the development in the past few years, why don’t I feel relaxed at all?
In front of the portal of the Temple of the World Tree, I put the luggage container prepared by my sister into my carry-on space and said goodbye to my family. Qian Qian stood next to me with a happy face: This girl decided to follow me this time.
join in the fun.
I turned my head and looked at the little doll sitting on my shoulder looking around: "Are you sure you want to follow?"
The doll girl pulled my hair: "You don't want to?"
"Not really, the main thing is that we are not going out for fun this time, we have to discuss business."
"I know," the little doll held my head and shook it, "I'm going to see you to discuss business."
I silently looked at Bingtis on the other side, and reminded the little girl indirectly: "You have a 'grandpa' over there..."
The little doll visibly stiffened, but his attitude was still firm: "You are responsible for dealing with that weird old man, and I am responsible for not causing trouble for you!"
I was at a loss, knowing in my heart that I really didn't have much time to spend with my child these days, and the little doll was bored at home all day long and needed to go out to see the world, so I didn't say anything more and nodded in acquiescence.
In the end, I carried the little doll girl on my shoulders, and led Qianqian and Bingtis behind me, plus Lilina who was going to the God Realm to "visit the divine light" (actually a publicly funded trip), and it was like taking the whole family on an outing.
Stepped into the portal leading to the God Realm. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read
