Chapter 1,143 Where Am I?

A specially modified Royal Void Shuttle was quickly dispatched to Kerudak. However, what I didn't expect was that following this shuttle, there were actually a group of Royal Guards and dozens of Empire-made ships. "Small" spaceships are huge enough in the atmosphere. These neatly lined up imperial warships marched mightily over the city of Kerudak. Of course, they immediately attracted the attention of many civilians. Above each tower building The terrace was almost full of citizens of all races. Driven by restlessness and stronger curiosity, they used various devices to record this scene that should not have happened over their homes - they just didn't know that they had developed micro-organisms. Beau didn't.

"I said... why is there such a big fanfare?" I came to the viewing platform of the parliament building with everyone, and prepared to board the shuttle from here. While looking at the oppressive Imperial warships in the sky, I muttered. He said to Sandora, "Shouldn't we try not to irritate the people of the Fourth Fleet? They are extremely sensitive to imperial warships."

"Ordinary people are not as sensitive as the army and these senior officials, and these Royal Guards were sent here after discussing with the 'Parliament' and most of the senior officials of the Fourth Fleet - you were studying technical issues with Sandora at the time, maybe I didn't pay attention." Sister-sama explained to me with a smile. I glanced at the "Parliament" and got a positive reply from the other party.

"After establishing stable contact with the Fifth Fleet, things were made public to the public, including the current situation of being unable to provide effective assistance to the Fifth Fleet, as well as the various difficulties we encountered. These things caused a lot of confusion among the ordinary people. Fluctuation," the "Parliament" smiled at me, "Then the Imperial Matron made suggestions to me. She hoped to continue to disclose the progress of the incident, and emphasized that the two imperial heads were about to personally enter the depths of the void to rescue the fifth The fleet's actions, in the end... are what you see. We believe that letting the public see you boarding and setting off is more powerful than a simple information announcement."

I blinked. Looking at my sister, I feel that she is indeed a wise and wise person...ahem, a thoughtful and intelligent sister. The things she thought of were just done casually in the whole operation, but they were really a "coincidental act" that should not be underestimated. The rescue of the Fifth Fleet will be a historic turning point in the thawing of relations between the New Empire and the Exiles, and that's what Onee-sama is doing. Just do everything possible to magnify this turning point and leave a backup plan - even if our rescue fails in the end, the scene of boarding now has actually laid a foundation of public opinion that is difficult to reverse easily: You see, the two Xiling Emperors They have already risked their lives, what else can you ask them to do?

But only we ourselves know that there is really no danger in this mission... Void is my home. Both Xiling Emperors can survive unconditionally in the void environment, and I am still invincible in the void...

"The void is a fatal danger. Everyone except our family thinks so." My sister thought exactly as I guessed. She said this in the spiritual link.

I looked at the group of imperial battleships waiting in the sky, and I knew in my heart that this should be the legendary phalanx of actors, but our leading actors were actually acting in battle - I was about to be shot into the depths of the void.

Such a method of action should be difficult to imagine in the logic of the Xiling Apostles. They only focus on real direct effects. There is little research on "little tricks" such as public opinion, social orientation, and public support. However, it must be admitted that in ordinary racial interactions with Xiling Apostles other than Xiling Apostles, it is precisely these small details that are easily overlooked by the former that will affect the subsequent The author's fundamental attitude towards the empire. So although Shandora and a group of imperial soldiers are leading the construction of the empire's military and industrial aspects, public opinion, media, culture, etc. are almost all the work of the earthlings in our family (theoretically) ( Led by Lilina). Even Sandora expressed surprise at the various results achieved by the latter: she never thought that things could be done like this.

"Let's do it this way. When we board the ship later, do you want to play some background music to enhance the atmosphere?" I rubbed my hands and looked at my sister with a grin. The latter did not answer, but Bingtis looked at her quietly. He made a comment: "Anyone who plays songs before boarding the plane will usually die when the cast is about to come out..."

Me: "...Well, forget it, but tell me, do I need to say something to the camera later? Let me look forward to the future impassionedly and give the public confidence, etc."

Bingtis said quietly again: "The most impassioned moments before leaving are usually fifteen minutes before the ending song..."

"Oh, stop talking..."

As soon as Bingtis, the atmosphere killer, was mixed up, I finally remembered that I was really not the type to balabala in front of the camera to the masses, so I took Sandora and prepared to leave. Before leaving, my sister was still a little uneasy. I said, "Do you really don't need to bring an escort? What if we are attacked?"

"You have to understand that my void domain has its limits. The more people I bring, the more troubles I will cause - and I may not be able to bear it. It is possible that I will not be able to bring back a large army if I bring it back," I said helplessly Shrugging, "Don't forget, a veteran void creature as powerful as Sheila is as tired as a dead dog even after teleporting from Huron to the Star Territory..."

"Don't worry, I won't let Arjun take action if there is danger," Sandora said solemnly, "We will always be in the void realm, and Arjun's void realm will no longer be closed after departure. In this case, Even if you are in danger, at least you can escape.”

After receiving such assurance from Shandora, my sister said no more. She just told us to be careful along the way, and then watched us enter the shuttle.

When the order field of the aircraft was activated, a layer of pure black gradually spread from the cockpit and quickly formed a black sphere that completely enveloped the shuttle. This black sphere completely absorbed all the light that hit its surface. , so that this scene looks as if a piece of space has suddenly been cut out, revealing a black hole. In an instant, the black sphere and the shuttle within disappeared from everyone's sight.

A moment later, the signal from the shuttle came from the Imperial border - the first attempted jump was successful.

At the distant border of the empire, a small shuttle was falling back into the material world from the void. The smooth alloy shell reflected the gleaming light under the illumination of a nearby star, and a trace of black afterimage slowly emerged from the shuttle shell. subside until it disappears.

Sandora checked various parameters of the shuttle and did not dare to be careless at all. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Similar to the theoretical value, such an ultra-limit jump did not cause damage to the body structure. We successfully bypassed the technical barriers to void jump - although only under certain circumstances."

"Next time, just jump to the vicinity of the Fifth Fleet." I watched Sandora play with those complicated parameters. Feeling dizzy, "To be honest, I don't feel like I'm consuming much."

"You will know later when you expand the void field to tens of thousands of kilometers and jump once." Sandora curled her lips, and then sighed, "Actually, if there is a way, I really don't want you to do this, it will really consume a lot of money. Although the Fifth Fleet is much closer than the distance between Huron and the Star Territory, after all, you cannot compare with veteran void creatures like King Huron... If you jump after a while, you should pay attention to your consumption. It’s okay even halfway through - as long as the Fifth Fleet enters the safe zone, our mission will be completed. Don’t be too desperate, you know.”

I smiled, this plan was proposed by Sandora, but in the end she was still worried, but in the face of her entanglement, I just patted her hair: "Okay. I'm not The object of your protection, this little thing can be easily solved - in fact, I was inspired by you and came up with a good idea."

Sandora showed a curious look, and while adjusting the engine to prepare to jump to the Fifth Fleet, she motioned for me to continue.

"Look. If my void domain can allow the entire fleet to instantly cross a theoretically infinite void distance, does that mean... that we can airdrop a large force directly to the doorstep of the fallen apostle? Or even bypass their Early warning?"

Shandora showed a slightly surprised look, as if it was incredible that I could actually think of this on my own initiative, but she still shook her head: "Perhaps this will be feasible in local battles, but it can only be a trick. You You know, the New Empire and the Fallen Apostles are both behemoths. When we officially start the war, the scale of the battle will definitely not be as simple as a fleet, and how many people can your power airdrop to the enemy's position at one time? What's more, in this During the airdrop process, you must jump with the fleet. After arriving at the destination, you will be in a weak state. Send a lonely fleet to the enemy's base camp. You yourself have almost no combat effectiveness. Have you ever thought about what a bad tactic this is? ? So this can only be used as a surprise attack, and it is a small-scale surprise attack. And don’t regard this kind of jump as a big advantage. In fact, the chance of being intercepted by the legion advancing in the void is extremely small. As for the Fifth Fleet, It was because it was being followed from the very beginning that it fell into this situation. Under normal circumstances, a ship moving forward in the void realm will hardly be scanned by anything unless it is close to a certain world of order. Use your void realm to capture a spaceship. Airdropping a force to the battlefield will not have any advantage in terms of 'anti-interception'. At most, it will save some time for some soldiers. But in my opinion, as a void creature and the head of the empire, you have to maintain your position throughout the war. The best state is far more meaningful than being a disposable troop carrier at the expense of losing your combat effectiveness."

I felt a little embarrassed, thinking that I had finally come up with a strategic idea, but when Sandora analyzed it like this, it turned out to be such a skill with no practical value - she was right, I subconsciously put my The role is too low. In a real big battle, using the Emperor as a disposable troop transport is definitely a bad idea. But Shandora smiled when she saw my somewhat frustrated expression: "Actually, Arjun's idea is also useful, that is, when we really need to sneak attack the enemy, we should also collect experimental data this time, so that we can know better. Carrying out an over-limit jump of this scale will have a big impact on your trumpet. Speaking of which, Arjun has really changed a lot now. In the past, you would never have thought of these things on your own initiative. "

I scratched my hair and thought to myself, isn’t this forced...

At this time Sandora finally completed the recalibration, smiled and patted my arm: "Okay, the equipment is ready. Get ready to go, Jun, turn it up!"

I grinned and flashed a mouthful of Crest: "Demacia!"

Then I felt dizzy, very strange... dizzy...

I don’t know how long this subtle dizzy state lasted. It seemed that time was split into two parts in my concept, and one part passed around me in just a moment. The other part was almost frozen in my own perception. I had never felt such a strange experience, even though I knew clearly that only a few seconds had passed. But those few seconds were stretched infinitely in my consciousness to almost eternity... However, I did not feel any discomfort or irritation.

I tried to talk to Sandora. Tell her that I seem to be in some weird situation, but I find that I can't talk to her. It's not that I can't speak, but the messages and actions I send (if I really did something in those few seconds ), language could not be conveyed to Shandora at all. We seemed to have suddenly become individuals on two levels of parallel existence. If I didn’t know in my heart that this situation would end soon, I would have fallen into a serious panic. Status bar - of course. Or maybe not, because I suddenly found that my sense of time was peeling off.

In those infinitely long seconds of self-awareness, normal people should quickly get bored, tired of the endless passage of time and their own state of no change. But after a "long" time, I found that I still maintained a peaceful state, which was really not in line with my character. Then, after a long thinking process, I suddenly remembered one thing:

The concept of time of the gods.

perhaps. This is the world in their eyes...perceiving the passage of time, but not caring about everything caused by the passage of time, and this kind of not caring is not indifferent, it is just the eternal peace of mind.

After confirming that this state would have no adverse effects, and that it did not really last forever, and that I had nothing to do for the time being, I curiously began to experience something else: the feeling that I and the void were one. Feel.

This occurred together with the feeling of stasis in time after the shuttle started jumping. I don’t know if it was an illusion. It seemed that my own void domain had crossed such a vast void in an instant, causing the two to exchange more than 100 messages in a short period of time. I reached a certain threshold, which gave me the feeling that I had expanded infinitely. My mind began to drift in an infinitely wide yet infinitely narrow ocean. The ocean is shapeless and ever-changing. When you are a drop of water, you will Everything around you feels so vast, almost unreasonable, but a drop of water cannot be separated from the entire ocean, so you become one, and you begin to feel that the ocean is not as vast as you imagined, it is just like you ——Although it is still infinite, infinity at this time is already a measurable unit, and this unit is called "self".

There are layers of waves on the sea level, which seem to be still - although in another conceptual perception, they are surging wildly and changing in an instant. Every high-rising wave is a world. Compared with the eternal and unchanging ocean, these slowly rising and falling waves are quite short-lived, even fleeting, but at that moment, they are still separated from each other. He recognized the sea he had been in, leaping high into the air with his own unique shape and rules - maybe the void is not the sea, but a plane, the sea level, and the endless depth below it is just an illusion, and the depth is existence. But it is meaningless. For the world, it is just a wave on the sea level. When this idea suddenly popped up, I felt that my perspective really changed. I got out of the state of dripping water and stood at a new angle to watch the huge waves rolling up on the sea level. Then I came under the sea level and watched a brand new scene: the huge waves rolling up on the sea surface looked like this. But it seems like a deep valley sunken down.

Okay, this is really boring, but now I am studying it with great interest. I may understand why underwater photography is so popular. You can see the world from a position that normal people would not stand. What you see Everything was indeed quite new. I was just jumping around, waiting for the shuttle to leave the jumping state. It didn't seem like it would be too long - I thought about it and felt that I might just need to blink and transfer my consciousness from the deep to the surface. Can escape from this state in an instant: the passage of time will return to normal, returning from near stasis to normal within a few seconds.

But just when I was about to do this, I suddenly felt that there was another swimmer deep in the sea.

A swimmer like myself.

Something orderly, conscious, something completely different from the chaotic sea, was wandering nearby.

I thought about it and decided to get closer and take a look - although I couldn't explain how I moved, I did feel that the distance between me and the swimmer was getting closer, and then I heard a clear female voice: "Yeah, little brother , take a walk?”

I:"……"

"I didn't expect you to be a hiking enthusiast and travel so far - have you eaten?"

I:"……"

"By the way, have you seen Xingchen recently? He hasn't sent me a message for a few days. I think he is not that busy...Hey, look at that, six worlds were born at the same time! Siamese! This It's possible that the love will turn into multiples. After a while, when it stabilizes, I will put some life in it. The children will definitely like their new world!"

Me: "...Sister Sheila?!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
