After capturing an enemy-occupied area, it is very common to recover the enemy's data storage devices. In the past, the last part of every battle between us and the Fallen Apostles would have been each dragging a bunch of the other's ship wreckage back for analysis.
Of course, the Great Warlord protects the database of global hubs out of common sense, so when I saw the expression on Sandora's face, I couldn't help but be a little curious: "Isn't it good to find the database?"
"It is indeed a good thing, but why did it go so smoothly," Sandora frowned, "In the past, it was very difficult to find data equipment that the fallen apostles had not had time to destroy on the battlefield. You also know that normal soldiers will lose their position when they are about to lose it.
Blow up those things when the time comes - I was lucky enough to find a complete database in the previous universe, how could the fallen apostle still make this mistake in this world?"
I smacked my lips: "I also think this thing is too smooth... but I am used to being tossed around, so I am not used to the feeling of going smoothly once in a while. By the way, do you think this is a trap left by the fallen apostle?"
"The main reason is that I don't see the meaning of this trap," Sandora shook her head, "Inducing the Emperor's army to go deep alone? The problem is that as long as a slightly cautious commander will not make such a mistake, the Emperor's fleet will
The jump passages between the spaces and the evacuation routes to the Empire Zone are always open. It is difficult to build something like an encirclement in a short time in the void. And to be honest, if this is a trap... Arjun, don’t you think the price is small?
Is it worse?"
I think so. You see, after the emperor came here, they burned, killed, looted and bombed. The sovereignty of the enemy's four worlds changed hands in the blink of an eye. And on the other side, they were still fighting the gods like a hot kiln. The abyss
The district is also in a mess. If this can be a trap, then the people who made the plan must be very unscrupulous - I'm afraid those who want to trick their children into traps don't have the courage to do so.
When I thought about this, I suddenly felt relieved, and at this moment, the Grand Warlord also reported that the database had been partially decoded: Since I had learned some rules when parsing the previous database, the analysis of this second database seemed to be particularly smooth.
.
Sandora asked the Grand Overlord to send her a copy of the information that had been analyzed so far. As soon as she saw the information, her expression changed: "Sivis, inform all ministries to stop advancing and prepare to retreat."
I was confused for a moment, and hurried over to see the situation: "Wait a minute, wait a minute. What's going on?"
"It's the fleet passage record and the detailed information of each node of the World Gate," Sandora pointed to the holographic image in front of her, "It's so detailed that it's abnormal, and it perfectly matches the 'map' we obtained before.
No more, no less, we pieced together the teleportation coordinates and respective defense forces of nearly a hundred universes in this area..."
Before Sandora finished speaking, the communicator next to us lit up, and Odyssey's big face with Chinese characters appeared on the holographic projection: "Your Majesty! This is the Seventh Fleet. We have successfully captured the target universe.
, salvaged a complete database from the enemy's sovereignty hub, and the database contains..."
"Let me think about a list of teleportation coordinates, fleet traffic records in recent months, the size of each world gate and the military weight of the universe in which they are located." Sandora looked at Odyssey, "
What else is there?"
Odysseus seemed to realize that something was wrong here: "Your Majesty, over there..."
"Well, similarly, once or twice, it can be said that the enemy's border guards made mistakes because of civil strife in the abyss. The third time it happens, it's really hard to believe that this is not a conspiracy," Sandora held up her hands.
Standing up on the table. "Have you encountered anything unusual over there now?"
"There was no abnormal situation, and the previous battle was also very normal. The enemy's counterattack was very tenacious, and before we blew up the sovereignty hub, they had been sending reinforcements to this universe. There was no trace of deliberately releasing water to lure the enemy deeper. If this
It's a trap...The price is too high, they have already lost the sovereignty of three universes..."
"There are four now," Sandora suddenly connected to another channel, "First Fleet, report your situation."
The First Fleet just sent a regular contact request, but it was temporarily suspended because Sandora was talking to Odyssey. Now the holographic image of the Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet appeared above the communicator: "Your Majesty,
The First Fleet has successfully captured the target universe. We salvaged a database from the wreckage of the enemy's sovereignty hub. The database is basically complete and contains..."
Sandora and I said in unison: "There is a map, right?"
The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet was stunned for two seconds: "Is it the same over there?"
"In short, all troops, please pay attention, stop advancing now, stay on standby in the world you captured, and build a temporary world gate to prepare for rendezvous at any time. In addition, throw out all your void disruptors to prevent the enemy from counterattack," Sandora said.
commanded, and then connected to the channel of the celestial system fleet, "Has any abnormality been discovered at the base camp?"
The commander-in-chief of the celestial system fleet is a tall and thin man with eyes as sharp as an eagle. I remember this as a sharp and calm officer. His figure appeared in the holographic image and saluted Sandora and me: "
Your Majesty, everything is normal in the base camp, and the frontline fortress has been fully deployed and can resist the enemy's strong counterattack."
Knowing that the base camp has been stabilized, Sandora and I finally calmed down our slightly hung hearts. Sandora nodded: "What are the enemy's movements?"
The Celestial System Fleet is equipped with far more powerful void scanning equipment than other fleets, and those behemoths can carry fixed fortress-level telemetry radars on their bodies for use as shipboard equipment, so they are the current frontline telemetry stations of the Emperor. Celestial System
The system fleet monitors the situation at the border of the Abyss Zone to prevent the enemy army from counterattacking at any time - although their main force is still held back by the Protoss on another front, it never hurts to be more careful.
"We have scanned the information sources radiating into this universe multiple times and confirmed that the enemy is gathering about four army groups towards the front line. However, we have demolished their sovereignty facilities and these fleets cannot jump over directly."
"Consolidate all defense lines before they arrive." Sandora waved her hand, "Also be vigilant. If you find a large-scale military movement in the abyss area, immediately give an early warning."
Then she hung up the communication and looked up into my eyes: "The four armies... are just a normal scale of reinforcements, similar to what we expected before. If there is really a trap here, the enemy should send more people. Ah.
Jun, I’m a little confused.”
The current situation is very disturbing: we attacked four worlds in a row, and the local fallen apostle garrison officers all made the same mistake: they did not destroy the things containing military secrets when the position was breached, so there must be something abnormal here.
But it is a fact that the enemy's defenders fought tenaciously during the battle, and judging from the current situation, we can't see any traps in this. So even battlefield veterans like Sandora are caught in a dilemma.
"Xiao Xue," I looked at the naughty kid king who was spinning around happily on the suspended seat next to me, "divide your fortune."
Xiaoxue rarely made any jokes this time, but gave a brief reminder: "First, integrate the information collected by each fleet."
Counting what was salvaged in the previous fortress universe, the emperor now has a total of four sovereignty hub databases, which store four detailed world gate access files and border military weight distribution maps. Under Xiaoxue's prompt
.These four pieces of information were quickly integrated together - a road map that can be described as detailed was presented to everyone.
It just barely says "Welcome" on it.
We all gathered together, whether we understood or not, Sandora pointed to the transmission network displayed on the holographic projection: "This is our current location, a relatively remote node, this is the main node, that is
The first fortress world captured by the Emperor, and the other two were captured by the First Fleet and the Seventh Fleet. This network is very detailed... without any gaps. And there are many teleportation nodes in the four documents.
Repeatedly covering places is an obvious backup behavior. I suspect that even if we attack another world this time, we can quickly piece together this distribution map. This is simply like a special map for the emperor.
prepare."
I looked at this "map" thoughtfully. I know that I am not an expert in this field, but the visual diagram can still be understood: it is like a detailed partial picture of a spider web. The edges of the spider web are
All the lines were clearly presented in front of us. As I looked at it, I found that there seemed to be something interesting about this transmission network: "Look here...this world seems a little special."
Qian Qian scratched his head and looked at it for a while: "The number in this world is particularly long?"
I:"……"
"This world is the only one that has been repeatedly 'marked' four times. If the world coordinates mentioned in the access log are regarded as a 'mark' dedicated to guiding the emperor's movement, then this world has obviously been deliberately marked with emphasis.
"Yes." Sandora also saw the clue: In this network diagram composed of four sets of data, each transmission node has a footnote, and the footnote indicates how many times the transmission node has been mentioned in the four documents.
At first, this footnote was used by the operator responsible for integrating the data to assist in identifying the original source of each piece of data, but now it indicates a clear coordinate point for us: a place that looks like the hub of the network.
"Could it be just a coincidence?" My sister touched her chin and said uncertainly, "The four databases all have records of delivering materials to this world. Maybe it is just a traffic artery - you put every road in China
If you copy the train dispatch records of main railway lines, you will definitely see Zhengzhou Railway Station in more than half of them..."
Sandora didn't speak, but quickly operated the data terminal in front of her. She divided and reorganized the "coordinate map" that was composed of four sets of data and looked like an irregular grid several times, using various
Methods to simulate the possibility of such intersections on this map due to coincidence, she finally shook her head: "It shouldn't be a coincidence. Except for this world, all nodes only repeat twice at most, as if they were specially designed to highlight
It looks like it. In addition, if you look at the last road map, this jump route seems unreasonable. There should be a better jump path from this border world marked as es-35d65 to the inland, but in order to transfer this special
The world is more clearly marked, and records show that a fleet specifically took a long way to pass through it - this was obviously a long way around. The fleet did not perform any tasks, but just kept jumping around this world. This route was left behind
picture."
"In addition, there is a material delivery list here," Xiaoxue flipped through the information besides the route map. She sent what she found to the holographic projection in front of everyone, "It says here: Delivery record, contents
Delivered by land to the border, the jump station on the way is kn-22d (that is, the world that caught our attention, the fallen apostle’s number is kn-22d), and the list of materials to be transported is: stones."
Everyone looked at each other: Stone!
"The border world doesn't need any stones," Sandora leaned back on her chair. "No military outpost needs stones... This 'freight train' is not for delivering goods at all. It is just for transporting goods from kn
-22d passed by. Arjun, you are right, there must be something wrong with this world."
"Why do I feel like this is like a secret code?" Bingtis looked at me and then at Shandora, "By frequently deploying the army and leaving key points in the traffic records, although it takes a lot of effort, as long as we
If you can see this information, you will immediately discover this kn-22d."
Although Sister Bing usually looks carefree and careless, in fact, her thoughts are as delicate as Sandora's. They are both the masters who started saving the world hundreds of millions of years ago. How can she not see through such a simple thing? - Bingdi
As soon as Si's "secret code" was spoken, everyone nodded. Think about it. The databases in the four worlds were "miraculously" preserved. The local fallen apostle garrison did not blow up according to the rules when the position was breached.
These memories, I believe they are "road signs" specially left by someone for the emperor.
The identity of this "someone" seems to be coming out.
"Could it be left by the Abyss Xiling?" My sister thought about it with me and spoke first, "Maybe these strange things at the border are not traps, and the Abyss Xiling just left us a road sign."
"Hmm, I would rather believe that she has a conspiracy even if she leaves a road sign," Sandora snorted coldly. "We have seen the cunningness of the Abyss Xiling many times, even if this thing is really just a road sign.
I also don’t believe kn-22d is a good place to be.”
"This is not easy," I chuckled and stood up, "Let's go over and have a look."
Bingtis was holding her chin with her hand, pretending to be far-sighted and full of plans. As soon as I said these words, she immediately slipped under the table. Sandora looked at me with a strange expression: "You really plan to go to this inexplicable place?"
The place?"
"What else?" I opened my hand to Sandora, "We are not here to be guests in the abyss. Even if we don't see these road maps, we will hit the kn-22d sooner or later. And with such obvious guidance, if
There is an ambush... Abyss Xiling is too stupid to do this."
Shandora thought about it and finally nodded, seeming to think that I have some sense: "Okay, you can go to that world to see the situation, but you must be fully prepared first. It is best to bring a 'big guy' there who can resist
Apocalyptic."
Then a large group of us all looked at the holographic projection in the center of the command hall: the Warsong was happily circling, rapidly orbiting a dim brown dwarf star.
Perhaps the shipboard AI has a sixth sense, so the two lunatics immediately shouted in the public channel: "This ship thinks someone is peeking at our ship!"
I connected the communication with the Revenge Fleet: "Grand Overseer, the Revenge Fleet has a new mission. The next target is kn-22d. You madman, please stop turning. Your revolution speed is obviously not in line with scientific common sense, okay?
It's revolving at the speed of light, you're about to tear the star apart!"
"This ship feels like we are going to fight again!" Madman 2 suddenly became happy, "What is kn-22d? Does it also need to be blown up?"
"I'm still not sure whether it was a war or a visit. Anyway, be prepared for battle. There is not much peace in the abyss." Sandora waved her hand and then assigned tasks to various ministries. "Half of the Royal Fleet will be deployed here. Celestial Body
The system fleet will send ten more planetary warships here to establish a base to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. The second-line echelon of fortress ships and the Seventh Fleet will continue to be stationed in place. The remaining high-mobility forces will come with the royal fleet. It is uncertain what the kn-22d has.
, having more manpower will always be useful.”
Whenever the imperial fleet attacks the next world, the first thing to do is to build a temporary world gate locally. It not only controls the initial sovereignty but also facilitates the rapid transfer of troops. Therefore, the deployment of the new fleet is completed quickly, and the Revenge Army and half of the
The Royal Fleet and a large number of highly maneuverable expedition-class battleships formed a powerful new army, advancing towards kn-22d.
Someone should have seen it: this combined fleet values rapid response and high offensiveness. Except when necessary, we have left most of the fortress ships behind to consolidate their positions. Sandora's meaning is very clear: kn-22d is not
Any important military node, even if captured, would not meet her "marking" requirements, so the fleet used to just check the situation and eliminate the enemy's effective forces. There might be a big fight, but we have no intention of occupying that world for a long time.
The fleet quickly arrived at the world border of kn-22d and parked at the edge of the material world. The commander of the vanguard was extremely surprised and reported the situation of the world barrier: "Your Majesty! The world barrier is not encrypted!"
"Does this mean welcome?" My sister couldn't help but laugh under this situation, "Are we just going to jump in?"
"Jump!" Sandra said without hesitation, "We are already here anyway. All ministries should pay attention, be vigilant, and launch a batch of drones first. Grand Overseer, please leave some special service ships on standby on the world barrier to prevent the enemy from suddenly
Seal this universe, and other troops will enter the material world together with the royal fleet!" (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.
