(Now... By the way, do you know that the empire actually has a base that is a forum? The forum of the Xiling Empire (official website?): Garden of Death, the address can be found from the custom link in the bar - because I forgot the specific address.
.Friendly reminder: The forum belongs to the senior area, please check your character when registering...)
The two sides have been facing off tensely from the beginning. Not only has there been no sign of easing up, but it has become even more tense because of the intrusion of another unidentified young soldier. Of course, when it comes to the confrontation, it actually seems to be unilateral to the other side. We
This side has no intention of attacking at all, but... the other party obviously doesn't think so.
The alien who looks a bit like an insect evolved is named Tuolulu. According to his (now I can definitely use "him") his impact that has obviously exceeded the speed of sound and was extremely violent, as well as the installation on his forelimbs.
It can be judged by the psionic blade that he is a melee fighter, while the young soldier holding the gun obviously uses long-range attacks. The two of them may be a combination of a combat team, and now they are ready, with their faces
There is a look of death on the face - I mean, the nameless young soldier has a look of death on his face. As for Torulu's expression... well, the expression is very isosceles triangle.
"Well, can you put down the weapon first? We don't really like people pointing this thing at us."
I pointed at the strange-looking rifle in the young soldier's hand and said helplessly. However, it didn't matter. The other party obviously took my action as a signal to start a war. He subconsciously activated the weapon, and a bright blue light hit me instantly.
...The energy shield in front of him was not broken at all, and then the other party shouted in surprise: "Huh?"
I looked at the almost imperceptible ripples on the shield in front of me, and rolled my eyes at the young soldier: "For someone like you, you will be imprisoned for an average of seven days a week in my army - before you shoot,
Use your brain!"
"What kind of new trick is this?" The young soldier turned a deaf ear to my words. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Torulu with a confused look on his face, still holding the weapon tightly in his hand. "Why are they different from the imperial soldiers I heard about in school?"
Too similar? It’s also different from the guys I’ve interacted with before.”
"They are very cruel. I don't know. The things in school may be out of date. Imperial soldiers generally don't talk nonsense. Language communication is really troublesome. I have already asked for support. Don't let your guard down." Tollulu gave a bunch of random answers.
Things, continue to point your light knife at this side.
Shandora and I looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes: maybe we are two incompatible lovers.
However, even though the other party was indifferent, I still planned to find something to say first, so I showed a rather friendly smile and approached the other party: "Then you know who we are, right?"
...As soon as I finished saying this, I felt that my intelligence might be a little closer to Dingdang. No matter how the other party looked at the empire, I actually took the initiative to bring it up. This was almost a trick, and I was thousands of miles away in an instant...
…
"Huh, of course," the young soldier didn't fire again, but his fingers turned white when he pinched the weapon. His body was obviously shaking. This was definitely not caused by excitement. However, even so, the opponent did not retreat or give in at all.
With the shot he just fired, he couldn't even damage a single hair of the target. Anyone with a discerning eye could see such a disparity in power. It's quite impressive that he held onto his weapon tightly in this situation. "You guys are...
Imperial people, Xiling Empire...the most dangerous enemies, invaders and destroyers, wherever you pass by, there will be no life and no life. This is how they are taught in school! You are doing the same! Today you are going to have a carnival again, right?"
Shandora's face suddenly turned ugly, but it was only fleeting. Soon she returned her cold expression, just looked at the young soldier and asked coldly: "I'm really curious about you.
What are they taught in school - about 'our' glorious record."
"No need to ask, you know better than anyone else," the young soldier was surprisingly easy to trick out. This may have something to do with the other person's age. He looked like he was still in the dormitory at twelve o'clock at night.
When jumping out of the building to surf the Internet, children in this state are most likely to tell you all the secrets with a firm face, "You destroyed the Toberu civilization, scorched the Tianpan galaxy, and slaughtered hundreds of billions of Yunade people.
, as well as the Osa Empire, the Human Federation, and the Star Core Seventy-Seven World Alliance, you all destroyed them! And then you have been chasing us for so many years! Attacking the fleet non-stop! You have killed group after group of people, and now
We finally decided to attack the last fleet, right! Bah! Murderer! We will die standing! And we will definitely use you as our backing!"
"It was the fallen apostle who did it..." The expression on Sandora's face was still like an iceberg, but she whispered in the spiritual connection, her voice was heavy, with barely concealed sadness, "I should have thought of this a long time ago.
…”
"How many of those countries he mentioned do you know?"
I originally had no hope for this question, and I just brought it up to divert Sandora's attention, but I didn't expect that she actually nodded slightly: "There are a small number of people who have been in contact with each other. In the old empire era... they used to
They are also a powerful civilization that fights against the Abyss. Due to the continuous expansion of the empire's ruling area, they have gradually come into close contact with us. They are the last batch of abyss rebels at the end of the old empire who have not yet joined the front line led by the empire. Although several other countries have no impression
, but it must be a similar situation... After the old empire was controlled by the abyss, they became the first batch of victims..."
"There's nothing you can do now, it's irreversible."
I interrupted Sandora's recollection, these things can be discussed later, and then looked up at the young soldier, "Take us to see your leader, I want you to be the supreme commander of the fleet."
It has been seen that this young soldier and his alien comrade named Tuolulu may be just the most ordinary patrollers. What they know is absolutely limited, and they are still two inexperienced and stubborn minds. They have already learned from them
There was nothing more, so I decided to contact the other party's superiors as soon as possible - if I could talk directly to the commander-in-chief of the ghost fleet, everything would be much easier to solve.
But just as expected, the young soldier firmly refused without even thinking: "Unless you kill me! Otherwise, you can't get through this gate!"
In fact, I really want to tell this kid that Lilina alone has at least twenty ways to pass through the gate he is stationed at without any resistance, but I feel that it is not appropriate to say this here.
I was serious so I didn't say anything.
The other party had no intention of getting out of the way, and no one was surprised by this. Sandora just frowned slightly, and then suddenly released her extremely powerful spiritual power. This power swept through the surrounding metal barriers and spread all the way to the core of the planet.
In the past, since we were already at the bottom of the "intermediate layer" of the planet fortress, the energy interference from the starship was negligible. Sandora's will instantly filled the entire planet - if she wanted to, she would probably have to control this planet.
The fortress is not difficult, but she just wants to say a few words.
I don’t know what Sandora said. Anyway, the young soldier in front of me quickly glanced at what seemed to be a communicator on his chest in surprise. After muttering a few words with the superior on the other side of the communicator, he became suspicious.
Looking here uncertainly: "You... you must have played some trick just now!"
"You don't have to worry about this. We can go in now, right?"
There were still little golden particles flying in Sandora's hair. She looked at the young soldier quietly and asked calmly.
The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'll open the passage below."
Under the leadership of the young soldiers, everyone passed through the temporarily closed gate. Below the gate was a wide vertical shaft. The original cold wind in the shaft was also stopped. I really want to ask what these constantly blowing winds are.
What's going on, but the other party obviously has no interest in chatting. In fact, he is not even willing to stay within ten meters of us. He and the Mantis man named Toululu (correctly) each ride a hovercraft in front of us.
Leading the way with a distance of twenty or thirty meters, he was driving as fast as he wanted to get rid of the pursuers behind him. I'm afraid the other party really thought this way - for a group of exiles who had been chased by imperial soldiers for who knows how many years.
, it must feel terrible to be followed by Xiling Apostle.
"May I have your name?"
I sped up and ran to the young soldier and asked loudly, but the young soldier did not expect that the person behind him would do this, and almost fell off the aircraft with a cry of surprise. I quickly helped him stabilize his direction, and said in a serious and considerate tone like an elder lecturing a junior, "
Son, speeding is harmful to yourself and others - don’t you have any traffic laws?”
The young soldier looked at me with frightened eyes for a few seconds, lowered his head and muttered one word: "Gold."
Then the opponent accelerated and ran in front of me again.
It took me a long time to figure it out. "Jin" might be his name. This kid speaks very concisely. Of course, his parents named him very concisely. Anyway, if you write novels, you will definitely not like to use this name.
, it is too unfavorable to strive for perfect attendance, so Sasaki Kojiro is more popular, and at the worst, he has to be called Ouyang Qingsong...
After a while we came to the end of this shaft that looked like a range hood corrugated pipe. It felt so good to be down to earth. In front of us was something that finally looked less twisted and like a piece of meat: it was a dish with an obvious imperial style.
The alloy gate even has a cross dent on it!
Apparently that indentation was once inlaid with a set of crystals, but now the crystal as a military emblem has been removed, and even the remaining grooves have been scratched out in a mess, as if they were drawn with thick strokes into a mess.
Looking at those violent scratches, I can almost imagine how the person who did this had to grit his teeth and take the knife.
Noticing that our eyes were scanning the groove, the young soldier snorted coldly and said nothing, but when he took out his identification card and prepared to open the door, he still hesitated. Obviously, the leader
A group of "extremely vicious imperial soldiers" entering his homeland was a bit too unbelievable to him.
However, his hesitation did not last long, because before he could use the identification card, the metal gate opened on its own initiative - the controller above must have received a direct order to let us in.
Everyone has been very curious about the scene in front of them. In this weird planet fortress, there are so many bizarre scenes that we are all guessing how many weird things there are in front of us, such as the continuous...
It was like a lair, so before the door was fully opened, the whole family rushed over with a crash, and then... they screamed in surprise one after another.
"This is...a city?"
Qian Qian was running at the front, but she had no choice. If this girl really wanted to take the lead, you wouldn't be able to catch her even if you started running from the Jurassic era. When she saw the vast swaths of lights under her feet, she immediately lost her composure.
After coming through the gate, I thought I would see a large number of war factories suspended in the air like those usually found in star battleships, or huge corridors inside the ship, or other huge military facilities, but I didn't expect that what appeared in front of me was something else.
A piece of earth and sky.
Under our feet is a wide alloy platform. The platform is suspended in mid-air, connected by a metal cylinder with a diameter of tens of meters and the steel sky above. This metal cylinder is obviously the shaft that everyone passed through before. From all directions on the platform,
Observe, the very high place above is a gray-black sky, and dots of "stars" are flickering on the sky. They are the inner wall of the starship's "intermediate layer" and the lights on the inner wall. A few kilometers below our feet, there is a
On the land illuminated by lights, you can see dense buildings and orderly streets, with various types of transportation constantly flowing between these buildings.
Looking far into the distance, you can see a giant alloy pillar standing tall on the ground at regular intervals, just like the mythical Optimus Prime used to support the sky, connecting the ground and the "sky". Those gray-black alloy pillars
Bright light spots were flowing on the sky, and each light spot was a strange-looking aircraft. They seemed to be maintaining the huge pillars supporting the starship shell. All of this was shrouded in a dim scene, and the whole world seemed to be in a state of darkness.
In a polar night with no end in sight.
This is a twilight world wrapped in a steel sky!
The scenery in front of you is shocking. If you hadn't been there, you might never have imagined what a planet wrapped in a metal spherical shell thousands of kilometers thick looks like. Such a magnificent scene, but also such a desolate one.
, I don’t know how long people in this world have been living in this environment, but the heavy depression and desolation coming from the whole world is still enough to move people. I was silent for a moment, tilted my head slightly and looked at the nervous person.
The young soldier who was wary of our group said: "Jin."
"What's wrong?" the other party said impatiently.
"...It's okay, take us to see your leader."
"The spaceship in front is here to pick you up, but Torulu and I should definitely follow."
Jin checked the weapons and led his insect comrades to the edge of the platform. A short, fat little spaceship stopped in front of him. I noticed that this spaceship with an extraordinary mission did not bring a frigate. At first, there was no frigate.
It was quite strange, but I soon felt relieved: If it is used to pick up our group of people, what kind of frigate do you arrange?
The small transport ship doesn't look big, but the space inside is very wide. It seems that this thing also applies some kind of space expansion technology, but it is somewhat different from the empire's space expansion. You can still feel a sense of dissonance inside the spaceship.
, there are some soldiers besides us in the transport ship. Some of these soldiers are human beings, some are insect-like alien life forms like Torulu, and some have never been seen before. They come from other races.
Obviously, the composition of this exile team is more complicated than we imagined. I really don’t know how many races it is made up of. From what we have seen so far, perhaps such a ghost fleet will bring us
The moral pressure will be no less than that of the thousands of races in the civilized community - each of them carries a history of blood and tears, and this history of blood and tears must undoubtedly be paid for by the empire.
As the transport ship flew towards its destination, we could feel that every soldier around us was looking at us with extreme vigilance and fear. Of course, there was also deep-seated hatred mixed in, and these emotions enveloped us.
It was obviously not very comfortable, but fortunately everyone kept calm, which saved us a lot of trouble. I started to thank Lin Xue again for his prediction, otherwise we might have had a violent incident at this time...
The spacecraft flew quietly for more than ten minutes in the dim twilight, and finally landed at a place... we didn't know anyway. An unusually tall and thin female officer met us on the landing platform, along with the young soldier and Tuo Lu.
Lu was ordered to stand by near the landing platform, while a few of us followed the female officer into a building made of alloy. This building still looked like a "lump" style like a curled up piece of meat.
, the only information I got along the way was that this design style was created by Tolulu’s tribe, the Toberu tribe. Those alien life forms that look like evolved insects possess amazing super technology.
They are the backbone of the Ghost Fleet.
Everyone followed the female officer who led the way around this huge metal fortress. The complicated passages like an ant nest made people feel dizzy. Finally, we arrived at a huge hexagonal hall, which took us there.
The female officer nodded stiffly to us: "This is the parliament, you are waiting here."
After leaving such words, the other party immediately turned his head and left as if running away.
"It seems that we are not very popular."
Lilina laughed dryly with her cheeks tickled. I thought to myself, isn't this nonsense? According to the information revealed by the young soldier in a few words, after the collapse of the old empire, the mad apostles caused a lot of harm to these fugitives, and they still do so to this day.
We are chasing. People who don’t know will definitely confuse the New Empire with the Fallen Apostles. If we hadn’t opened fire first and the Ghost Fleet had chosen to escape instead of fighting to the death, the brains of both sides might have been beaten out by now.
, can you still expect to receive a warm welcome under such circumstances?
In fact, when Sandora and I came in, we expected it to be even worse than it was now...
"Where is the parliament that the person mentioned just now?" My sister looked around and said curiously. This hall is quite large, at least equivalent to an indoor gymnasium. The surrounding walls are not the common gray-black alloy outside, but
The ordinary white color makes the whole space look very bright. I feel much more comfortable in this environment. But apart from the brightness, I don’t see anyone in the hall, and there is no communication equipment. It is a completely empty room.
, people can’t help but wonder what the parliament that the female officer mentioned before was about.
After waiting for several minutes, we all began to speculate whether the other party was planning to starve our group of mortal enemies to death inside - of course this was impossible, Sandora was fully capable and courageous to carve a passage out of here.
We went out, but just when we were about to lose our patience, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and then we saw many moving light spots appearing in the air around us. These light spots gathered faster and faster in the center of the hall.
