The first thousand four hundred and seventy-two chapters
"Then they repeated the process again?" I was stunned. Although I couldn't see the expression on my face, it was definitely wonderful. "Are you saying that they actually assembled twice?"
"Assembled twice and retreated twice," Tavel spread his hands and then switched the screen on the holographic projection. "This is the second telemetry result. A fleet signal of the same size as the first appeared in the border area.
, and then started running around before the team stabilized. Most of the fleets retreated to the hinterland of the abyss area, and a small number of them disappeared. Maybe they were too small to be scanned by the intelligence forces, or maybe they were
...He ran away to a place no one would have thought of."
I didn’t understand those complicated tactical analysis diagrams, but the chaos on the front line could still be seen at a glance. Listening to Tavel’s report, I turned to look at Sandora in confusion: “How do you feel?
Is it like a collective convulsion?"
"So I hurriedly called you back," Sandora nodded, "The fallen apostles have never behaved so strangely. In the past few days, there was something wrong with their raids on the border of the Gods. Now this strangeness seems to be getting worse...
...Carrying out such large-scale distribution and distribution mobilization in border areas cannot be just to scare us."
I scratched my chin and started thinking, recalling my experience in contact with the fallen apostles in the past few years, looking for whether they had had similar convulsions before, and finally I came up with something related: "Hey, Harlan, you and your legion were originally
Didn’t you also suffer from convulsions for a few days?”
Harlan's face was filled with embarrassment: "Can we not let this matter go... Well, there was indeed a period of confusion at the beginning, but I feel that the current 'symptoms' of the fallen apostle are not the same as my situation back then. At that time we
The confusion is due to contact with your power, and the incomplete reversal caused slow thinking. Although the behavior is weird, it is basically logical. And the main 'symptom' is still reflected in the inefficiency of actions. But this time the opposite person
The situation is obviously even weirder. It's not that their actions are inefficient, but that their actions are illogical at all. They seem to have no idea what they are doing... At least that's what it seems on the surface. Of course, it doesn't rule out that they are engaging in some conspiracy.
It’s possible. After all, there are a lot of cunning guys in the fallen apostle camp, so it’s not surprising what they do.”
Harlan is right. We can't rule out the enemy's conspiracy. In fact, I really thought of a possibility: Could they be using these messy and large-scale military operations to cover up something? Using border legions.
Mobilize to attract most of our attention, and then make some more deadly little moves in an inconspicuous corner...
As soon as I mentioned this idea, most people at the scene immediately agreed. A senior commander stood up from the officer's seat: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Army reported an abnormal situation during a routine inspection of the border a month ago.
It may have something to do with the enemy's current actions."
Sandora and I said in unison: "What's going on?"
The senior commander transferred the holographic image in front of him to the large projector in the center of the conference room. What appeared on the holographic screen was a scanned record of the border area a month ago: "The reconnaissance force discovered that there were several consecutive worlds in the abyss.
The doomsday phenomenon, the doomsday feed wave almost reached the borders of the empire at that time. The end of the world itself is a normal situation, and the end of the world happens every day everywhere in the void. Especially in the abyss area, the birth and destruction of the world are more frequent than in other places. But that day detection
The doomsday feed waves that arrived were extremely dense, and the number of worlds destroyed in the abyss area in one day was more than three times what we usually monitor in that area, so this was reported to the highest military headquarters as an abnormal phenomenon."
"Oh, come to think of it, I have an impression," Sandora nodded immediately. "I have seen this report. Several universes in the fallen apostle's ruling area were destroyed in a short period of time because of the detection of that
The number of doomsdays is much higher than in the past, so this report was sent directly to me. In the past, daily telemetry reports like this were handled by each legion themselves."
I immediately looked at Sandora curiously: "Didn't we take any action when it was such a big thing?"
I remembered that I seemed to be out of town a month ago, and I wasn't sure how Sandora handled it at that time, so I asked this question.
"Of course we took action," Sandora raised her eyebrows. "I ate four kilograms of multi-year cakes to celebrate. Then I gave a lot to the soldiers at the Telemetry Analysis Center to make them happy."
Me: "..." Well, depending on the situation at the time, Sandora should indeed celebrate when she saw this report: But that's not what we should be talking about now, right?
"Of course there are other actions," Sandora saw the expression on my face, and of course she knew what I was thinking. "But at that time, no one knew that the fallen apostle would have convulsions soon, and naturally no one thought too much about the report.
I think this is just a coincidence. There happened to be many worlds in the Abyss that were past their shelf life that day. Later, I sent two more groups of reconnaissance troops, and asked the Garden of Death to increase the power to irradiate the Abyss. No abnormalities were found, and
In the next few days, the frequency of world death in the abyss returned to normal, and the matter was dismissed."
"It can't be proved that these two things are connected now," Harlan said, attracting our attention. "Multiple universes were destroyed, and the army was abnormally assembled. There seems to be no causal relationship between the two things."
"It would be great if we could take a closer look. We can't tell by just relying on telemetry signals and brainstorming..." I nodded, but I was interrupted by Sivis's emergency report in the middle of my sentence: "
Your Majesty! The early warning center has sent an alert! A large number of enemy fleets have been detected at the border again, and the scale now exceeds three legions!"
I almost hit my head on the table: "You're still here?!"
A large circle of people in the conference room looked at each other in confusion. They looked around and saw that no one was speaking. Then they raised their hands and cautiously expressed their opinions: "I think they may be planning to smoke again."
I guess many people at the scene had the same guess as Qian Qian, but no one dared to take this guess seriously. I looked at Sivis with a troubled face: "Where are the defense forces and the mobilizable legions?"
"Her Majesty Sandora has previously transferred the main force to the border. At present, the main force of the defense force has arrived. The leading troops of the 1st and 6th legions have arrived, and the other legions are still on the way. When the enemy retreated for the first time, we asked
Some legions are on standby. But Her Majesty Sandora has never canceled the mobilization order since the second time."
I patted my forehead and sighed: "Okay, let them continue to rush to the border no matter what. Those who have already arrived will stay there. No matter whether the fallen apostles are convulsed or not, in short, we will treat them as if they are about to start a war. This time...
…Even if it’s true once, I can’t bear it.”
Everyone deeply agreed. Next, Shandora and other senior staff assigned a defense plan and prepared to discuss a more proactive military plan. Bingtis did not know much about the military aspects of the empire and did not know
How is the fleet battle conducted? She has participated in this meeting with a layman's mentality to watch the fun, and she can't help but want to express her opinion: "I said... let's just follow the enemy and consume them wave by wave? Don't be beaten again if this continues.
The other party has been brought down... By the way, isn't this the original intention of the lunatics on the other side?"
"No," Sandora smiled indifferently. "Although both sides consume a lot, the fallen apostles consume more. Their back-and-forth fleet mobilization consumes a lot of energy, and it puts a lot of pressure on the void engine of the spacecraft. The Empire
However, there was only one mobilization here, and they stayed at the border to wait for work. If the other side really wants to drag down the empire and consume it, then their commander can send it to the reactor."
"That's what I say, but after all, we can't just wait passively," I glanced at Sandora, "It's psychologically unacceptable for us to be dragged away by waves of enemies like this - your active plan
What is it? Should we send some additional special forces to cross the line of fire? At least we need to find out what kind of aircraft the other side is doing in the abyss."
"I'm thinking about it too, but..." Sandora was just halfway through her words. There was another urgent report from Sivis: "Your Majesty! Frontline telemetry report, detected enemy fleet... began to disband again,
And they are running around in a swarm of swarms."
At this time, even Sandora, who had always been calm, was stunned. Her Majesty the Queen muttered to herself with straight eyes: "Are they... are they finished?"
"I'm going to organize a more elite reconnaissance force," Harlan suddenly stood up, "I can't stand it anymore..."
Sandora nodded, but still confessed: "Remember that we have to wait for work, and do not waste our strength indiscriminately before the fallen apostle takes action. The only advantage of the empire is to be on the defensive."
Harlan nodded and teleported away from the conference room.
"Until there is new news from Harlan, all the original action plans remain unchanged," Sandora looked around at the officers present, "No matter what the other side wants to do, treat this as an invasion. Sicaro, you lead the Royal Fleet
The heavily-equipped defense force goes to the border springboard D-35d. Assist the Imperial Guard there to strengthen the defense. If the Fallen Apostles invade the border nodes around D-35d, you must block it as soon as possible. Now I am also a little worried about whether the enemy is there.
It was a cover for some other sneak attack."
I quickly looked up at the officer's seat, and found that the upright knight-faced man was standing up and saluting in a neat imperial uniform. I was immediately a little disappointed: Why didn't this guy wear his black super suit today?
Where are the uniforms?
Well, this seems like a bad time to be thinking about these things.
Sandora discussed some very professional things with Sivis, and then stood up and made a concluding speech: "So, that's it, the fallen apostles have indeed experienced some strange situations recently, and we may not be able to investigate them for a while.
They knew what was going on, but no matter what situation they encountered, they adhered to the only principle: whatever they did was a conspiracy. All units were on high alert, except for the first, sixth, third and fourth legions that had been sent to the border.
In addition, other legions will go to various border springboard universes to deploy defenses in accordance with the rules of the plan. Counting the local Imperial Guard, all fronts bordering the Fallen Apostles are required to have the combat effectiveness of at least one legion, and the surrounding springboards should be kept clear. Three troops can be mobilized within an hour.
More than one legion of combat forces went to support. The macro world was raised from level three normalcy to level two alert. Civilian passages in border areas were temporarily restricted and closed except for censors performing official duties. The telemetry device group of the Garden of Death system remained online and locked.
All military-industrial worlds in the border area will treat any sign of infiltration as an invasion. In addition, the civilized community will be notified that the celestial system fleet is now starting to 'warm up', so that they can prepare to switch to another sun. That's it, who wants to see if there are any more
What’s missing?”
Sandora's instructions this time were meticulous, not only making arrangements for large-scale invasions, but also taking into account small-scale spy infiltration: she ordered the use of the Garden of Death to lock down all military industrial universes in order to prevent the special forces of the fallen apostles from taking advantage of the situation.
She sneaked in at random. She was also worried that the fallen apostle was using some strange method to disturb people, and was secretly preparing to do some tricks.
I thought about it and felt that I still need to add something: "It is best to strengthen the defenses in the worlds away from the abyss, that is, the far frontier."
Sandora looked down at me: "Are you worried about the same situation happening at the border of the Gods?"
"The fallen apostles have done this once. We have to guard against the second time," I leaned back on the chair, "Now they are behaving strangely, and we can no longer judge based on old experience. What is this called...re-
Know your enemy."
"It's such a long way to raid the far frontier without any supplies or cover in between... It's not logically consistent with military rules, but what you said makes sense. They've already done this once and succeeded, so they have to be on guard against the second time."
Shandora looked up at Sivis as she spoke, "Then this part of the arrangement will be left to you. The Imperial Defense Force in the far frontier will strengthen the vigilance in place, and let the reserve echelon and the Seventh Army rush over to support. In addition, the Abyss
The Independent Regiment should still be able to provide a lot of troops. Anyway, they are not responsible for the frontal battlefield at the moment. I will turn around and ask Harlan to push the Abyss Fleet to the far frontier."
Sivis gave a military salute: "Your will!"
After all these arrangements were made, Sandora let out a long sigh of relief, and then waved her hands around to signal the meeting to break up. In a blink of an eye, everyone in the conference room evacuated, leaving only our family at the back.
"Okay. Let's wait and see the next move of the fallen apostle. Don't think about these troubles for the time being." Sandora took a deep breath twice and turned her head with a smile. "I must be thinking about having a few more days of leisure in the God Realm.
Are you okay? Will you be angry if I call you back early?"
I happily pinched Her Majesty the Queen's cheek (actually it was like pinching just now, but I didn't have the nerve to do it in front of the civil and military officials in the court), and said without caring at all: "No way, actually I'm a little bit
I'm used to it, and every time I go on a business trip, I feel like my life is incomplete if I don't encounter some unexpected situation."
"Okay, I'll listen seriously." Sandora waved her hand, "Tell me about your situation in the God Realm. The things you go to deal with there are all major events."
Before I opened my mouth, Qianqian next to me raised her hand weakly: "What about that? You still want to continue talking about business, right?"
Sandora and I nodded together. Then Qian Qian disappeared in a flash, leaving only half a sentence slowly dissipating in the air: "I remembered that there was still soup simmering in the kitchen. I'll go back and you guys can chat slowly...
…”
Everyone: "..."
Shandora and I stared at the direction in which Qianqian disappeared, and it took me a long time to realize: "Good guy, even Master Kong would taste bad. It's a shame that she can come up with a reason to 'stew soup'... This girl is..."
How come you are like Bingdis if you don't want to talk about business?"
Bingtis, who had already moved his feet to the door, ran back dejectedly: "Can you give me a shot if you don't have anything to do?"
Sandora and I automatically ignored Sister Bing and started talking about the situation in the God Realm this time.
"The situation of the attack there is not serious. The God Clan has a big business, and it is only a remote and desolate world. There is no serious problem except that the Kingdom of God is hit by a cannon." I first talked about this time
The main thing about the business trip, "The main loss is the issue of face, but Father God, like me, doesn't want... to be lenient. He is quite calm, and has planned a joint action plan to annihilate all the fallen apostles before the expedition, but now this plan may
Some changes are needed: the fallen apostles are convulsing on our border, and the offensive steps of the protoss are also disrupted."
I told Sandora about the general idea of the joint attack, and she was also very interested in the plan. However, considering that the fallen apostle suddenly behaved strangely, and attacking rashly before figuring out the situation might cause trouble, she was not in a hurry.
Let’s discuss this now.
Then I brought up the second thing: "The other thing is that in the home world, you have to stay calm: there are various signs that the destruction of the home world may be related to conspiracy theories..."
"Conspiracy theory?" Sandora's brows suddenly wrinkled, "Is there something fishy about the destruction of the home world?"
"There are just some doubts, and I am not sure if there is really any external force involved. According to the log that has been cracked on the artifact, the Protoss scout finally found the exact traces of the super civilization, including not only the void coordinates, but also the physical void shuttle.
After comparing the time on various records with each other, it is now basically certain that a super civilization visited that area before the destruction of the home world. This super civilization left a series of traces of inspections and then disappeared.
Soon came the disaster that the Xiling people encountered. Judging from the time alone, the two events almost happened one after the other. In addition, Father God also confirmed one thing: the Protoss has never discovered that super civilization since then.
They only showed up once."
A golden light flashed through Shandora's eyes for a moment. I saw Pandora not far away and took out her precious baby cannon on the spot. But soon Shandora's face returned to calmness and she threw it over.
This look made Pandora put away the pillar, and Her Majesty the Queen regained a calm expression on her face: "It is indeed very doubtful. If it is a civilization that can easily cross the void like the empire, it is indeed capable of destroying the home world at that time.
And this one and the other seems to be a bit of a conspiracy, but there are still too many things that cannot be explained: the civilization of order cannot control the phenomenon of the abyss opening, and there is no direct evidence to prove that the home world was deliberately destroyed. The most important thing now is
The most important thing is to deal with the fallen apostles. Let’s talk about this matter later.”
As I said, Sandora cannot be impulsive. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please
