Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth the war that began to spread
Chapter 585 The war begins to spread
The exploration force sent to the eastern part of the Great Nebula for reconnaissance finally sent back the news that clues to Lilina, the strongest road idiot in history, were found.
Of course, it is not easy to find an Imperial fleet that is sincerely hiding. The small Protos reconnaissance force we sent only found traces of the activities of the Temple Legion, such as two or three that were completely burned into a molten state.
Giant planets, such as a star that has obviously just completed a supernova explosion and is mixed with a large amount of psionic energy wavelengths, such as the wreckage of several Imperial assault ships that have not mutated, these all prove that a certain star system in the eastern part of the Great Nebula was once an extremely powerful place for the Temple Legion.
In the active zone, the Protos exploration force left a beacon device that could only be recognized by the Imperial spacecraft in order to contact the Temple Legion that might still be stranded in that area, and then found a desolate asteroid belt to establish an outpost.
The base is ready to welcome us.
On our side, we were fully equipped and prepared within one day, and the entire fleet was about to leave Jetas.
Naturally, the large-scale movement of the federal army could not be concealed from Jayne. This handsome old man, who according to Queen Fina's evaluation is a hard-working general with no results, is a conscientious person within the scope of his duties. We were just about to leave when he hurriedly
When we arrived at the hotel where we were staying temporarily, we didn't even have guards with us - which shows our sincerity, but of course, it could also be that we were panicking.
"That's it, we are leaving, and we don't know whether we will come back or not." I asked the handsome old man who had something to say to calm down and sit down in the living room. I got up and poured him a glass of water. "The fleet will be here tonight."
It will set sail soon, and I know you will definitely come to me, so I am waiting here."
"Okay," Jayne sat straight on the sofa, acting impartially, "In this damn universe, many rules are meaningless. You are still your own 'Federal Army', and Gotak has no restraints on you.
position, but may I venture to ask why you set off in such a hurry?"
It seems that it is still due to the instinctive vigilance of soldiers. Also, every move of such a huge fleet is enough to make people tremble.
"You should still remember that when I first came here, I asked you whether another Trek fleet and the Federation Army had entered this universe before. In fact, we came here to find that fleet. Now my people
We found their clues, so we had to set off."
"I see," Jayne nodded, but there was still a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's an understandable reason, and I don't know what the specific situation is. But at this critical moment, if your huge fleet wants to leave this area,
If it’s in the star area, I’m afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.”
"what happened?"
I raised my eyebrows, and my sister who was making tea next to me also stopped and listened to what was going on here.
"The message sent by the shepherds. They released the message to all intelligent races in the universe twenty-four hours ago. This balance cycle is about to end."
After Jayne finished speaking, there was silence in the room for half a minute. He was waiting for our reaction, while I was suppressing the urge to curse.
Those bastard empire "rebels"! If you don't cause trouble for me, you'll die, right?
"A new round of melee across the universe? Is that what they mean?"
"It can be said that this balance cycle is shorter than before. Perhaps it is because the various forces in the universe have developed too fast recently and have returned to prosperity in a short period of time. The Shepherd announced the start of the great war in advance, and several people close to the Great Nebula
A country has begun to prepare for war, and other forces have already had Shepherd fleets appear in the skies of many colonial stars. And just when the news was released, a huge fleet that had just entered this universe for a few years and had never experienced the baptism of Shepherds openly revealed
announced their resistance to the shepherds. A few hours have passed, and now there is no life response in the galaxy where they once operated. This makes all the forces who have received the information panic. The Free Kingdom of Gotak was in the last big melee.
In the middle of the battle, we won with difficulty and our strength has not recovered. We originally placed our hope in the two ongoing deciphering works on Shepherd technology, hoping that they could strengthen the battleships of Gotak's army in a short time, but now it seems that it has been
It’s impossible, and the Queen’s fleet, which the kingdom is most proud of, has just suffered a direct attack from the shepherds. Although it miraculously survived, you also know very well that it was almost completely wiped out. We don’t even dare to hear this news.
Let the citizens of the kingdom know that as the leader of the force, you and the two consuls should know how serious this situation is. At this moment, if the federal fleet, which Gotak has gradually become familiar with and has a friendly impression, suddenly leaves
If so...I'm afraid, the situation is not good for us."
Jayne paused for a moment, then took the stance of speaking directly: "I have been in the military for many years, and I don't like to talk in roundabout ways. I am just telling you the truth: your continuous big actions after coming here may have attracted the attention of many forces.
The departure of the federal army at this time will have a big impact on Gotak, and it may also cause other nervous forces to stir up in advance, and may even allow themselves to be targeted by the shepherds. This last one is particularly fatal. I
I have no qualifications to prevent you from completing your mission, but as a soldier of Gotak, I am here to inform you of this matter out of duty, and this is my purpose."
"Is this also what your queen means?"
I suddenly thought of the young queen who was thinking mechanically. Somehow, since the last time we met, the other party left a very deep impression on me. At this time, the first thing I thought of was Her Majesty the Queen.
As for how I would react when faced with the current situation, my intuition tells me that the other party knows much more than Jayne. Perhaps, I should consider seeing her again.
"I'm very curious about your Majesty the Queen." Seeing Jayne's acquiescent expression, I felt it was necessary to ask about the strange queen. Otherwise, curiosity kills more than just cats, but
And I don’t know how to say it - it involves privacy, and it also involves the privacy of Her Majesty the Queen. If we don’t sum it up carefully, it would be considered a political provocation.
Finally, I asked very politely: "Is your queen a human?"
The elder sister over there banged her head on the coffee table: "Ajun, if you encounter such a situation in the future, make a draft in advance!"
Jayne was also stunned by my question, his expression was subtly distorted, and it took him almost five minutes to return to normal - after knowing each other for so many days, he still knew a thing or two about our lack of energy.
"If you are curious about Her Majesty the Queen's race, I can only say that she was once indeed a human, a carbon-based creature." The old handsome guy looked at me with resentment, "But that was a long time ago, and I have never
I have seen relevant records in some old files. To be honest, when my United States escort fleet and I wandered into this universe twenty years ago and were rescued by the Gotak army, Her Majesty the Queen had already ruled this country for hundreds of years...
…”
...No wonder Jayne, a handsome old man who looks to be in his fifties or sixties, can have so much respect for a little girl who looks like a teenager. It turns out that considering his real age, this old man can also be considered a grandson?
"I want to meet Her Majesty the Queen, is that convenient?"
It's still the weird cylindrical "bedroom", in front of the throne without a single guard, Her Majesty the Queen, named... let's just call her Fina, seems to have anticipated our arrival, and looks at the people in front of her with a calm face.
people.
Well, she's Furui Muha at all times.
I didn't expect Jayne to agree so readily, as if what we wanted to visit was not the ruler of a kingdom, but just the xxx next door. You know, these days, even if you meet the deputy county magistrate, you have to report for a long time.
"My calculations are correct, you will come."
Without the last seven minutes of looking at each other, the mechanized female voice sounded in the air ahead of time. Yes, this is another master of scheming.
But I'm used to it. It's not like there's no queen in the family, let alone a prophet. We can even deal with someone like Lin Xue, so why are we afraid of your little finger?
I didn't bring anyone else with me this time. Even Pandora and Viska, the two most annoying little guys, were left in the hotel. They came here completely alone, and the purpose... I admit, it was to satisfy my own needs.
curiosity.
I have roughly guessed the mode of communication with this Queen. There is no need to be formal or think too much. If my prediction is correct, Her Majesty the Queen should be similar to a thinking machine now, as long as she does not endanger Gotak.
With the main premise of profit, you don't have to worry about anything when communicating with her, just deal with her like your own xp mother.
So, I sat on the horse, and my mother and I started chatting: "The shepherd has secreted you?"
...it seems to be a little different from xp girl.
"The war is about to spread. The Roland Gale Consortium has always wanted to extend its influence to the western region of the Great Nebula. They almost succeeded in the last war, but fell short because the Shepherd announced the arrival of a calm period. This time, they are coming with force."
"I don't have any feelings about the power struggle in this universe. I came here today to say goodbye to you. Jayne should report to you that we have found the fleet we have been looking for."
"The fleet in the eastern part of the Great Nebula was active for a short time and then disappeared. Although all the pirate forces that came into contact with them have been destroyed, there are rumors that there is a huge connection between them and the shepherds. My calculations tell me that you
What we are looking for is such a fleet."
"Okay, okay, your calculations," I stood up and breathed out, "let's just say it straight-where is Shepherd's fleet now?"
The exploration team sent by the Imperial Admiral has been wandering around the star area for several days, but cannot find the base of the "Imperial Rebels" at all. It is just a waste of time to continue like this. Now the Shepherd suddenly made a big movement for some reason. This
It's a good opportunity to draw them out. I'm very curious about how those Imperial Troopers who are completely self-disciplined and like the Ghost Fleet will react when they are attacked by another Imperial Trooper. This is also a way to judge their behavior pattern.
A good opportunity, and the most suitable person to attack is naturally the latter's war supervisory troops stationed on other civilized colonial stars - for ordinary colonial stars, the warfighter troops are naturally a fatal threat, but for the established regular imperial army
, those lonely Star Destroyer spaceships are just meat.
There was sudden silence in the air. Fina, who was thinking completely logically, could not judge the meaning of my question, but xp is xp. As long as there is no blue screen, there is still a chance to recover. Two minutes later, her voice rang: "Shepherd
They never hide their whereabouts when taking action. Now every force is closely observing the movements of those supervising teams. I can give you the coordinates, but what are you going to do?"
"I said I would kill them, do you believe me?"
"Without belief or disbelief, calculation tells me that this is suicide."
Fina said unceremoniously, but the Elsword then sent a message, reporting that they had received a set of coordinates from the Queen's flagship.
"I have changed my mind. The fleet may set sail a few days later. Before that, I will help you solve some troubles and be a friend."
Directly connected to the Imperial Admiral through the command link, I asked the Imperial Ace Legion, which had already established a huge production base in the Red Star, to immediately organize superior forces and prepare to launch a surprise attack on several random "rebel" supervisory teams. Soon
, this universe will boil, right?
At least, the attention of the "shepherds" must be attracted away, so that they will not continue to cause harm to the unlucky ordinary races here.
"Friend, it's a very familiar word. Being friends with you is valuable." Fina's voice sounded neither sad nor happy. She had no idea what a terrifying order had been issued from this room just a few seconds ago.
I conveyed it, and I looked at the other person's sculpture-like face curiously, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Fina - is it okay to call you by your first name? I want to ask you something, which may involve privacy...
"
"Friend, you can ask what you want to ask, and I will answer what I want to answer."
"It's really straightforward, okay, I just want to know, are you... still human in this form?"
To be fair, this is a rash question. I wouldn’t ask anyone like this to any other person in front of me, but this person seems to be an exception. I don’t know if the *** Act applies to her. I’m killing myself with curiosity.
The head of state.
"So you are curious about this. My memory tells me that you should be honest with your friends." Fina really has no sense of privacy at all. Her Majesty is purely logical. I guess even if someone asks her about her measurements, she will tell the truth without hesitation.
As I watched in surprise, Her Majesty the Queen, who had always been sitting on the throne in front of me and had not changed a single expression or posture since the first meeting, actually moved!
She gently raised an arm, and immediately, bursts of electric sounds came from the throne.
"The Queen's fleet is now in a silent state and does not require my control."
The sound finally came not from the surrounding machines, but from the girl's mouth. It sounded clear and sweet, without any harshness. It was completely different from the previous mechanical sound. I watched in amazement as Fina slowly walked away from the throne.
She stood up and turned slightly so that I could see behind her - there were countless cables and pipes connected there.
"A long time ago, I was a human being." The pipes and cables behind her fell off one by one, and the expression on the girl's face gradually became lively. "Before I came to this world, I was just the communications chief of the fleet. Then, a lot happened.
matter."
Most of the cables automatically separated from Fina's body, but there were still a few blue energy pipes connected to her shoulders. Without the obstruction of those cables, the situation behind Fina was now clear. Behind the beautiful girl
But it is densely covered with all kinds of slots and connectors, which makes people's hair stand on end.
I never thought that my words would have such consequences. No matter how I thought about it, she shouldn't trust me so much, but...
"My body was damaged in a battle. In a sudden encounter, a convoy of 1,300 ships encountered 22 Shepherd ships. After a fierce battle, the entire army was annihilated. My rescue capsule was rushed in later.
The reinforcements found that there was only a head soaked in the life-support system in the rescue capsule."
Fina pointed at her head. This action made me feel creepy. Besides being creepy, I was more concerned about the certain energy flowing through her body just now...
Just like, psionic energy.
"I was rescued by the then leader of the Gotak Pirates, a brave and talented Zapulu tribesman. 'He' used his tribe's technology to resurrect me, as you can see."
"This body is not mine, she comes from...from...from..."
When Fina said this, she suddenly got stuck and kept repeating the word. The girl's eyes were blank, until I couldn't help but complete it for her: "It comes from a shepherd, right?"
The confusion faded instantly, and Fina looked forward inexplicably, continuing to recall from the breaking point: "This body was obtained by the leader of the pirate group in a successful ambush. There were few pilots in the Shepherd's spaceship.
, and ordinary warships rarely win in battles with Shepherd spaceships, even if they win..."
"Even if they win, they will choose to self-destruct. This body of yours is really hard-won. We will not discuss this." I interrupted Fina hastily, looking eagerly at the opponent's Xiling torso flowing with psionic energy.
, if others see this look, they will definitely make it crazy, "Fina, do you feel that what I said... makes you feel unable to refuse?"
The other party thought for a moment, and it seemed that her thinking ability would slow down greatly after being separated from the assistance of those cables, and then nodded.
Turns out that's the reason.
A creature that combines the human brain and the Xiling body. The rational brain gives the shepherd's body the ability to think, while the body of the low-level Xiling apostle instinctively interacts with the body of the high-level Xiling apostle.
Soul frequency, this is why Fina seems so familiar in front of us, the higher-ups of the empire. Even she herself cannot realize this - after all, she no longer has perceptual thinking.
Really, it turns out that I thought my charm suddenly leveled up, so I came here to test it by myself... uh, I spilled the beans.
However, now it seems that I have a lot more things to figure out...
