Due to the particularity of the void, there is no exact concept of "territory" and "border" here. These two words are only used directly in the area where the New Empire and the Abyss Empire meet because they are convenient to describe. In fact, this area is not
Belonging to either the New Empire or the Abyss Empire, it is a "watershed" composed of a series of worlds without sovereignty. These worlds and empires are only one step "away" from the fallen apostles, even the most difficult to transfer superpowers in the void.
Large starships can jump from these neutral worlds into the Empire Zone or the Abyss Zone as long as the engine is running for one cycle. Therefore, these universes sandwiched between the warring parties are regarded as boundary lines by both sides.
I don't know if I should sympathize with these worlds. They are like small isolated villages on the border of two warring superpowers - no, it's worse than that. They are not just small villages caught in the middle.
, it is still the kind of small village that has no sovereignty and can be pinched by anyone. They are not protected by the empire, and they cannot be protected by the fallen apostles. Once the two behemoths on both sides of them suddenly want to fight, this kind of world will almost
It will be extinguished in a blink of an eye, just like the universe we blew up at the border of the empire, the end of the world will usher in in the blink of an eye.
According to the plan, we first rushed to the fortress world at the edge of the empire. This is a pure garrison universe with no name and only numbers. Almost all the celestial bodies in this small universe have been modified into weapon base stations and legion portals to ensure that during the outbreak
In the event of a full-scale conflict, it can withstand the onslaught of the entire army of the fallen apostles and quickly mobilize the main forces from within the territory. Each major legion has squadrons here to perform border support tasks, plus the long-term local reserve echelons and the Imperial Defense Force.
, this entire world can almost be regarded as a war machine with a radius of tens of billions of light years. Most of the outposts set up around the "conflict point" are provided by this fortress world for defense replacement and logistical support, starting from here
The sentry troops will fall into the sight of the fallen apostles in an instant. Of course, the patrols and sentry troops on the fallen apostles' side will also be monitored here. The two sides are moving around each other under the eyes of their deadly enemies, and they are vulnerable in that
A temporary "peace" is maintained under the shackles of almost non-existent security, and even this breathless "peace" is the result of those Abyss special forces risking their lives to go deep behind enemy lines to spy on intelligence. Coupled with countless numbers of the Lord's Defense Forces
The results of fierce border battles and local victories were built up with difficulty.
After staying in this fortress world for a while, a few of us boarded the border transport ship with the sentry troops who were about to change the guard. After leaving the world barrier, it was actually equivalent to leaving the last inch of the empire: those outposts were wandering in the void.
Deep in the depths, almost half a foot stands within the sphere of influence of the Abyss Empire.
However, we will not really follow the sentry troops to the outpost: according to the plan, everyone must leave the transport ship before it reaches its destination. Then sneak into a main material world on the way, which is the "treasure treasure" marked by Father God.
"Location". Fortunately, this universe is considered to be less "concerned" by the enemy, because it is relatively more biased towards the empire, and our actions will basically not be exposed.
"I don't know how long the situation in this place will last." There is no scenery to see in the void, and the process of simply waiting seems quite boring. Bingtis sat in his seat, mumbling while spreading his wings and combing his feathers.
, "It seems that the fallen apostles have been quiet for a long time. According to their activity patterns, the longer the quiet time, the more bad water they are holding back, and they will definitely make more noise next time."
I glanced at Bingtis. I didn't say anything. I don't know if she was really affected by the "Xiling Hukou". The female gangster just spoke like a Xiling apostle. She probably didn't realize it herself.
I have almost considered the empire my home.
The commander of the sentry unit was sitting not far in front of us. He was a veteran who had experienced many battles. He looked at the holographic image beside him and suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, the enemy interceptor is about to appear."
Enemy interception - this is also part of the plan. I stood up and prepared to board the assault ship with others to "meet" the intercepting troops. Now we are close to the large outpost on the front line, where the two sides interact with each other.
At the distance of throwing bricks, I pressed the heads of Pandora and Visca beside me. I asked casually: "How large is the interception firepower? What is there?"
"Self-destruction probes and self-destruction drones cannot use conventional artillery in the void. This kind of thing that has its own order field and self-destructs when it rushes over is the only effective weapon besides special battleships," the old sentry captain said in a strange way.
He replied in a familiar tone. "Usually every time we arrive at this location, the enemy will release three waves of harassment, sometimes four waves, but that rarely happens. Then the same number of self-destructing drones will be released at the outpost.
When the machine passes, this will happen every three days."
"How effective is this interception?" Bingtis asked in a strange tone.
"Some of the sentinels will be killed in the battle, but they will not be able to break through the ship's defense. The dead soldiers will be resurrected directly in the resurrection facility of the outpost, so in fact, the only losses will be vehicles such as individual fighters and assault ships, and the same will be true for the opposite side.
——After all, the scale of the battle is too small, and it is difficult for both sides to truly and completely kill each other."
It would be difficult for ordinary people to understand what this kind of life-threatening fire line feels like on a daily basis. Anyway, my scalp was numb when I heard it. At this time, Bingtis asked curiously: "Why hasn't the interception you mentioned come yet?"
The sentry commander also showed some doubts. He kept looking at the holographic screen beside him and whispered: "It should have appeared... The fallen apostle's concept of time is really messed up... The enemy's interception fire was detected on the bridge.
What?"
A voice soon sounded in the cabin: "No, it's safe ahead."
The sentry commander thought for a while: "Inform the sentry station that we will release the self-destructing spacecraft first this time. The fallen apostle may have forgotten."
I:"……"
I don’t know what you think, but I immediately came up with the following conversation:
"Enemy commander, enemy commander! This is the Imperial Army headquarters! We have arrived at your defense line. Where are the mines?"
"Enemy commander, enemy commander! This is the headquarters of the Abyss Empire! We are resting today, there are no mines!"
"Enemy commander! Please correct your attitude! You are soldiers. It is your natural duty to lay mines!"
"Enemy commander! Please correct your attitude first! Who told you not to clear mines the day before yesterday? How can we lay mines before our mine-laying boats are repaired!!"
——Basically this is the rhythm...
I don’t know if the “reminder” from the emperor’s side worked. Anyway, a sharp alarm sounded in the transport ship a few seconds later, and a group of order fields marked as hostile targets were rapidly approaching the order field of our fleet: Fallen
The apostle's self-destruction interception is coming.
We quickly teleported to the assault ship that had been prepared for a long time, and rushed towards the enemy's self-destruction units that broke into the order field of our fleet as an attack force, and then... while letting the spacecraft automatically fight back, it was sunk with "effort".
It would be easier to leave the transport ship directly and enter the main material world. But the enemy might notice it and be mistaken for us to establish a base in those sensitive areas: after all, this place is crowded with hundreds of enemy outposts.
, I really can’t imagine how tight their monitoring will be, so we added an extra step to our plan, which is to pretend that the sentry spacecraft was destroyed by the fallen apostles - here, the sentinel spacecraft of both warring parties are destroyed every day.
It will not arouse suspicion at all. The destroyed spacecraft will lose its order field. Then it will fall out of the formation, and finally fall into the main material world in the form of a wreckage. We will pretend that we are the wreckage...
Anyway, it must conform to the daily local conditions from beginning to end. Only in this way can the disguise be achieved to the greatest extent. In view of the special nature of this mission, this kind of caution is necessary.
Everything will be easier to handle after falling into the world barrier. With the interference of this barrier, the actions of a few of us will not be noticed as long as we don't make too much noise. In the final analysis, the relationship between the emperor and the fallen apostles is
The confrontation points are all in the void. The several universes here... are really just humans and animals lying there harmlessly. No one is willing to waste firepower and let them get shot unless necessary.
According to the sentry commander, the interception firepower of the fallen apostles often has limited effect. Therefore, it also requires skills to be sunk. But fortunately we have a prophet. Under the guidance of Lin Xue, we can always be accurately hit by those who are everywhere.
The self-destructing drone hit. This was the first time that the eldest lady used her own power to specifically aim at the enemy's muzzle and hit it. After the assault ship's shield was marked red, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and told me.
In one sentence: "...so exciting!"
Then the spacecraft crashed.
At this moment we broke away from the spacecraft and jumped into the material world.
It seemed that everything was going well. The fallen apostles would not know that a group of incredible guys had sneaked into the universe under their noses. I took a deep breath. It felt good to step on the ground with my feet.
"Oh, it looks like we have to start looking for it from here," Bingtis stretched his body and retracted his overly conspicuous wings, "The scenery is pretty good."
We looked around and found that we had come to a place full of life.
The place where everyone settled was an open area overgrown with weeds. The open area was surrounded by tall coniferous trees. There were endless shadows in the forest. It looked like a large dense forest, and low shrubs could be seen between the shadows of the trees.
The bushes are growing wantonly. Shrubs, weeds, and the aerial roots of giant trees have almost blocked all the paths in the forest. The forest floor is also covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and mulch: this is obviously an inaccessible place. We should
It was in a clearing in a coniferous forest.
I looked up at the sky. The sky was blue, cloudless, and clear. The air here was also extremely clean. Although it felt a little strange when I breathed it, it may be because the composition of the atmosphere here is different from that of the earth. It is not good for us.
It doesn't matter - after all, breathing has been just a habit for me since a long time ago.
"The teleportation point was selected with the help of the scroll." Bingtis took out the scroll that Father God gave us from his arms. It was now glowing with a slight golden halo and gradually dimmed. "The clue should be
I'm on this planet, but I haven't sensed the aura of the star domain artifact, so it seems like I need to inquire more about it."
"It feels weird," Lin Xue muttered as he put up the awning with his hands and looked around, "In the most tense place where the confrontation between the emperor and the fallen apostles is, there is such a planet that looks like a national park, tsk tsk
——Why is the sense of violation so serious?”
I smiled and said nothing. In fact, everyone can feel the sense of inconsistency Lin Xue said: just outside this world. For us, in the void that is almost separated by a piece of paper, the fallen apostle and the emperor **
The outposts are facing each other tit for tat, and two of the most terrifying behemoths in the void are ready to break out into a full-scale conflict at any time. Any so-called "unparalleled danger" is like a kindergarten compared with the "void fire line" outside, but across the
A world barrier. In this universe that neither party dares to set foot in first, everything looks the same as the ordinary world. There is even such a vibrant planet here, and even...
An unknown emerald-green bird fluttered over the crowd, making a chirping sound.
There is even a bird, a bird so excited. So ignorant.
Bingtis didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly smiled and shook his head: "So sometimes ignorance is bliss - should we go?"
"Let's get to know the situation in this place first," I said, casually taking Dingdang out of my pocket. Little Douding was still jumping around when he first set off, but by this time he had curled up into a small ball and fallen asleep: It really fits the bill.
Her style of work and rest habits. As soon as I arrived in another world, I couldn't cope with the jet lag. I poked the little one's belly and used a wake-up technique on the still confused Doudin, "Ding Dong, see if there is anyone in this place."
Because we are in a sensitive area, and we don’t know how sensitive the fallen apostle’s vigilance can be, we did not do any scanning of the destination before passing through the world barrier. Now we don’t know if this planet has intelligent indigenous existences, clanking creatures.
Radar can come in handy at this time: when it comes to scanning for life, Xiao Douding is as good as a probe.
"Hey -" Dingdang turned over and sat up, only to realize that he had arrived at the station. The little thing understood what he wanted to do, and immediately nodded happily and flew to the trunk of the nearest tree. In an instant, I heard the whole
A rustling sound echoed through the jungle: all plants and animals were stirred, responding to the inquiry of the ruler of life.
"There's someone there." Dingdang flew back lightly and deftly, circling around in front of me, "There are villages outside the forest, and there are big cities just a few dozen kilometers away, and the capital city is a few hundred kilometers away. On the opposite side of the planet.
There is a large lake, and there is a three-headed snake that is more than two hundred years old living in the lake. The three-headed snake said that it has a toothache, and there is a small group of snow apes next to the Antarctic Circle of the planet..."
I:"……"
Although the little one's summary of things is still so messy, I at least know that she has counted the life of the entire planet in just a few seconds, but I don't know whether the single-celled animals are included...
It would be great to know that there are indigenous people on this planet. First of all, we were teleported to this place based on the scroll given by Father God. The scroll recorded vague information about the artifact, so maybe what we are looking for is on this planet.
First, secondly, it is an artifact, an artifact with a high sense of existence. If there are residents on this planet, then they will most likely develop around the power of this artifact. At the worst, it can be found in their culture or legends.
Clues of artifacts. Similar incidents are not uncommon. When a scientific expedition team was recovering the ruins of the old empire, they also discovered that the aboriginal people there had established city-states all over the planet with the nether energy reactor as the center.
So everyone walked out of the woods in a happy mood. Of course, I first asked Dingdang about the general situation of the village outside the woods, and at least I confirmed that the aborigines of this world are also humanoid creatures. This is very important, after all, this
The world is already in the "far frontier" of the star field, and the information disturbance force of the gods is weak here. Therefore, the owner of this planet is not necessarily still human. It is very likely that the primates in this world have not had time to walk upright.
They were killed by their scaly reptilian relatives - that would undoubtedly cause us some communication problems. The further "far" the world is from the divine world, the easier it is for strange life forms to appear, although this is not absolute.
But the overall trend is this.
Fortunately, Star Territory's information disturbance power is quite powerful. Ding Dong gave us a description of the situation of the aboriginal people in this world. They should be similar to the people on earth - that is, similar to the "standard human appearance" established by Star Territory. We don't need to consider it.
Problems of species exchange.
It seems that few people come to this jungle. The soft mulch leaves and strange plants growing on the road make it difficult to walk. I suggested that we all fly over, but the eldest lady objected——
"Look at the clear sky, the primitive scenery, the trees, the grass, the moss, and the clean air of the Shadow City. Why are you so unsentimental? You and your girlfriend are walking on a tree covered with fallen leaves.
How romantic it is in the pine forest, you have to learn to enjoy life..."
What Lin Xue said makes sense, but I think she should get off my back before saying this: The eldest lady really knows how to enjoy it!
"It's good to walk around," Bingtis led the way. The female gangster seemed to be very interested, "If you want to save trouble, once you develop a habit, you won't even bother to walk. If you don't believe me, put the angel in your head away."
Come out and let her take a few steps."
I looked at the rugged road conditions in front of me, and estimated that Alaya would have to crawl the entire way to take two steps, and finally squirm to reach his destination...
Pandora followed silently and was very well-behaved throughout the whole process, while Huisca and Qianqian ran around wildly. These two little naughty children with inexhaustible energy kept running around collecting a bunch of things that they thought were very important.
They brought back interesting things and showed them to me. At first there were weeds and wild flowers, then wild fruits and stones appeared, then various birds and animals that were constantly struggling, and finally when they worked together to drag a two-ton saber-toothed tiger (
It looked like) happily shouting: "Brother (Arjun), I caught something interesting..." When I finally couldn't help it, I ordered the two girls not to run around and asked them to follow the large army.
Let's move forward. It would be okay if Shandora followed us. The things Weiska and Qianqian collected could at least be used to fill Her Majesty the Queen's belly. Now what's the use of them following us with saber-toothed tigers on their shoulders...
Just as we were letting the tearful saber-toothed tiger run away, Dingdang suddenly came out of my breast pocket: "Ajun, there is someone." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
