Chapter 1,208 Departure

We are discussing an expedition to the world of Melova. Just like the headquarters must dispatch troops and generals before each expedition, our family also needs to study who will follow the expedition and who will stay at the base before departure. My sister has decided to stay, and the rest of the group, except for the Pandora sisters (these two can't be considered young, right? Well, don't worry about the details) also want to stay at home. But when it was Miss Lin's turn, she seemed to have something to say.

"Do you want to hear my advice?" Lin Xue was lying on the sofa watching Animal World with her little crow in her arms. She tilted her head and waved to me, "Here, help me. This girl is numb when she presses on me. Get up." Not coming……"

"Gah?" The little crow cried out in distress, arching its body in the eldest lady's arms, and Lin Xue suddenly screamed out.

"Watching TV, you are in such a bad situation." I picked up the little crow and placed it on the armrest of the sofa. The latter squatted like a bird and began to scratch it with his feet. "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. You are a prophet. Who dares not to listen?"

"First of all, the fleet should not show up," Lin Xuehu did it all at once, gesturing with his hands, "enclose their territory and place trackers on the world barrier. This is to ensure that every Melova is locked without being exposed. world to prevent fish from slipping through the net in the future. Then... let’s go to their territory for two days to buy some souvenirs and so on."

Me: "...you infected Qianqian?"

"Infect your sister," the eldest lady scratched my face with her paw, "Aren't you curious about what the world of the Merova people is like? I saw it when the coordinate map was first uploaded to the public database. Merova actually rules There are more than a dozen universes - well, these dozen universes are a bit small compared to the size of the empire, and even less comparable to the macro world, but think about it, aren't there some secrets hidden in these more than a dozen universes? How did the Merova people determine that the entire empire was finished in the first place? Where did their courage come from? What did they rely on? Are you even curious? More importantly... Do you believe Merova? People have a problem in their hands that even the fallen apostles cannot realize..."

I was stunned: "Did you see something?"

"Anyway, you will know in the past. What the Merova people are doing is more interesting than we expected, and what they discovered may not even the fallen apostles realize." The eldest lady waved her hand and lay back on the sofa. , "Although it will take some time, it is necessary to go to their world for on-site inspection without alerting the other party. If the army directly presses on the border and flattens the Merova army... some secrets will be destroyed."

I turned to look at Sandora, who showed a slightly pensive expression, and then nodded slightly: "My initial idea was to follow the old empire's method and go directly to bulldoze the planet occupied by the Merova people, and then receive their It’s just the universe. But since Lin Xue said so... then let’s do what the prophet said. I would like to see what amazing things those guys can discover.”

In the end, the personnel were decided like this - in fact, the personnel are almost the same every time. When encountering an incident of this special nature and requiring a fight, Shandora will definitely take action, and Qianqian will definitely follow. Lin Xue will not take action. It depends on whether the reason she made up with her parents works well or not. My sister, on the other hand, generally doesn't like to move around, and often stays at home. The two of them are taller than 1.2 meters, and they will fight each other in any battle. Lilina... Lilina, I usually don't dare to let her out of my sight. This girl is so capable of causing trouble, so Be sure to take it with you if you have the chance. , everyone else is staying at home. The above is the distribution of personnel each time. Apart from this, there will at most be an unexpected situation where some elusive little guy appears on the front line... Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered and turned to look at Little Bubble. Sure enough, this little guy was rolling her eyes and thinking about something. She was going to follow her father's lead in the war!

Little Paopao seems to have no thoughts and is as simple-minded as a child, but it would be wrong to think that she is a stupid child. In fact, many times, Xiaopao Pao understands everything in her heart. She also has her own ideas, but she just can't express them and she usually behaves very childishly. The facts are stated again and again. Little Bubble's appearance on the front line was all planned by her in advance. So I quickly gave my onee-sama a look. My sister nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, none of the kids at home can escape."

Suddenly, every kid in the family who was under 1.19 meters tall trembled all over.

"Hey. Idiot, are you really going to fight this time?" I felt a heavy weight on my shoulders, and Xiaodeng sat up. She pulled my hair listlessly and said rather unhappily, "Get out. How many days?”

"I...I'll come back as soon as possible." I really couldn't give her any guarantee. Being a father at this point is probably considered a failure. "Can I bring you a gift when I come back?"

"Whatever, anyway, the rags you brought have already filled up half the room. In the end, they are all your own tinkering with the most hard work every day." The little doll curled his lips, turned over and flew down, "Have you given it to your daughter?" Is the razor a gift? Although the razor made by alchemy is indeed quite interesting..."

"What?" I didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly.

"It's okay," the little guy ran away along the coffee table. He looked up halfway and rushed towards Lilina who was secretly opening the refrigerator door. "Asshole! It's you again! You're about to go off to war and you want to harm me." A milk bottle?!”

My sister came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the children are very sensible."

I was about to nod along when I heard a whirring voice coming from the side: "Dad, can I follow you?"

I pointed to Xiaoxue, who was hanging on my arm with a dull expression: "Sister, this is not included, right?"

"Dad, can I follow you?" Xiaoxue didn't realize that she was causing trouble again. He just hangs it on my arm reluctantly, "Look, I have been familiar with the art of war and refined my martial arts since I was a child. I studied in the headquarters and was promoted to junior high school. Can you take me out?"

"No," I threw the girl on the sofa, "Every time there must be at least one prophet to look after the house. Last time I went to meet Father God, you followed me out. This time it's your mother, so you stay. Let’s look after the house.”

Xiaoxue opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.

My eyes finally fell on the five-person group of protoss. These five guys were playing cards. Now this was the time when they were waiting for the meal - to be honest, these guys were in two states at home, eating and waiting for the meal. Monina is a bit better, at least she helps with cooking sometimes. The remaining few either do nothing, or it is better not to do anything. I really don’t know how they overcome their conscience against themselves. condemning. Bingtis noticed my gaze and waved his hand from a distance: "Don't worry, we will definitely not join in the fun this time."

"Did you eat the wrong thing?" I was shocked, thinking that this female hooligan who usually just picks up bricks for any trouble had changed her gender this time. Unexpectedly, the other party looked over seriously: "Counterinsurgency is your internal affairs. The situation of Merova and the Fallen Apostles is different. The latter can barely be regarded as a separatist war. As a supporter of one of the factions, we participated. It makes sense, but now you want to execute your old servants. What do you think we can do?"

When I thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, but the twists and turns were really annoying, so I don’t like to mix with political people...

Maybe people are really adaptable creatures... Well, let's assume that our family is all human - anyway, I think I am quite adaptable. Four and a half years ago, I would feel overwhelmed when encountering a group fight with more than 20 people. Now I can treat leading an army in a war as if I were checking in. I feel very free of psychological pressure. Before departure, my sister cooked by herself as usual and cooked a good meal for me. She even made braised beef with potatoes to cheer up her younger brother - of course, the meal was eventually snatched up by the small group of bees. Speaking of this dish. It is still a tradition in the family. Every time I want to do something valuable in life, my sister will do it for a while. It's just that the purpose of the beef and potatoes before was to let me get a hundred points in the final exam (of course, this has never been achieved since the fifth grade), but now the beef and potatoes are replaced by letting me lead tens of thousands of warships to follow People fight to death...

When I was eating, I was thinking, isn’t it weird that a counter-insurgency battle that may affect more than a dozen universes starts with a bowl of beef and potatoes? It feels like the protagonist who is about to save the world is... Before setting off, the king took out two eggs from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into the hero's hands during the farewell ceremony: "Warrior, eat these two eggs. You can go to the Demon King's City..."

Ahem, I can’t think about this anymore.

The Third Army and the Royal Fleet, which must accompany you on every expedition, spent two days preparing. It was used to compile the new coordinate database into the navigation system and confirm the general action plan for the future. On the third day, we embarked on the journey to the void area. This time we only brought the elite part of the royal fleet, and we did not bring any servants. On the one hand, we must leave enough military force to defend the empire's homeland and prevent the fallen apostles from suddenly attacking - after all, the Void Zone is located in a remote area. If the homeland is attacked, I am afraid that even if we immediately return reinforcements, it will be too late; on the other hand, I don’t want the servant army of the New Empire to get involved in this matter. After all, from a certain perspective, the Merova people can be regarded as the ancestors of all Xiling Familia. When the time comes, the enemy generals on the front line will raise their arms and shout: "Brother. Hey, if you follow these tyrants, you will make the same mistakes as us sooner or later! Do princes and generals have the guts to do it? Huang Tian will die and the heaven will stand!"

You said what the hell will happen at that time... Although even if they shout a few words like this, it should have no effect, and the loyalty issues of the new empire's servant army and the old empire's servant army are completely different, but at the end of the day I feel that I It would be embarrassing...

Of course, the most important point is that Sandora and I both believe that the strength of the Merova people should not be too strong. Perhaps they initially have the hard power to confront the empire head-on, but their racial nature is limited by ordinary species, and They have not fully understood the old empire's technology and have many weaknesses. This war may end soon.

This is the tactical coordination center of the Imperial Admiral. As a large starship that is two to three hundred kilometers long and much larger than a giant city, the Imperial Admiral can basically be regarded as a complete space city. The Tactical Integration Center is located in the center of this space city. , built on a metal-covered plateau, only a few hundred meters away from the command hall (the place customarily called the 'bridge'). This twelve-story hexagonal prismatic building is the urban function dispatch center of the Imperial Admiral and the staff of the entire fleet. For the Xiling apostle who lives by war, city management and fleet management can be completely considered. As a department, at least within their army.

Shandora and others are located in the top-level officer area of ​​the Tactical Integration Center, analyzing the information obtained from the onboard computer of the Merova fighter and the mouths of the two prisoners of war.

"According to the information revealed by the prisoners of war before departure, the Merova people directly copied the original empire's ruling model."

As Sandora spoke, she displayed a star map on the holographic projection in the center of the room. This is the territorial distribution of the Merova people and the basic parameters of the dozen universes. Of course, except Sandora herself. There were probably only two people at the scene who were 1.2 meters tall and could understand this thing. Pandora could still sit upright, but Huesca sat unsteadily in her seat, twisting her body around and looking around, as restless as a primary school student three minutes before get out of class ended.

"Viska, what are you busy with?" I tapped Viska's head lightly, and the latter raised his head: "Brother, brother, when will the war begin? I'm not interested in what I'm seeing..."

"Quiet. Strategic deployment is very important." Pandora struck Viska on the head with a knife in a flash, her voice was serious, "Although I don't understand, as long as you listen to it, you can go to war."

Me: "...You can't do anything better."

"Can you three listen to what I have to say?" Sandora finally couldn't bear it any longer. She rolled her eyes with a very stressed queen, and cast a big silencing spell on me and the two short winter melons. "Okay, continue...where did I stop!"

"The Merova people copied the empire's ruling model and so on..."

"Oh, oh," Sandora nodded, "That's it. In fact, this is quite understandable. You see, after all, the Merova people do not have the expansion ability of the Xiling Apostles, and they have no spiritual connection available, so Their reliance on servants and vassals is even higher than that of the Empire. According to the information at hand, there are a large number of 'lower races' in the world of Merova...according to the confessions of the two prisoners of war. These lower races are called 'slave soldiers' '. They account for 70 to 80 percent of the population of the Merova world."

"Is this a breakthrough point?" I thought for a while. Of course, we have already thought of the existence of other races in the world of Merova. After all, the universe is so vast, and Merova rules more than a dozen universes. There must be other races in their territory. An intelligent species, but I didn’t expect that the Merova people would imitate the empire back then and also establish a vassal race system. According to the practices of the old empire, these vassal races will probably be used as cannon fodder by the Merova people, so if they are used properly...

"Let these slave races fight against each other. We can save a lot of trouble. And if these slave races have enough potential..." Great Prophet Lin smiled brightly, "The servant army that the Merova people have run for 70,000 years will return to the empire. Yes. Well, a dozen of their worlds have also returned to the empire... Hey, Mu Mu, why do I feel so strange? Are you robbing money, robbing people, robbing territory? "

Me: "...We are doing a just cause, can you please stop saying so dirty things?"

The eldest lady curled her lips: "Look at how righteous you are."

Shandora smiled: "Actually, what Arjun said is right. This is a 'just' cause. The old empire was completely wrong in terms of vassal races, but the Merova people have inherited this mistake... New Since the empire has repositioned the status of the servant army, it is also obliged to correct the shackles here handed down from the old empire. I think the servant army under the Merova people should not have much loyalty to their masters, and it only takes one to instigate rebellion. Opportunities...but the specific situation still needs to be seen in their world."

"So I would like to suggest that you go to Merova World to see it first," Miss Lin said with an expression on her face as if she had already made a contribution. "If you run over and bombard them without saying a word, you might kill those slave races." He was beaten to death."

Shandora glanced at Lin Xue silently: "So you have actually seen these things a long time ago?"

"Sa, that's about it. I did see that there is a slave race in the world of Merova, but I didn't expect it to be so large. I originally thought that it would only be an auxiliary force at most."

"What else did you see?" I quickly walked over and asked. The eldest lady came over and rolled her eyes: "Then I really said it?"

"...Forget it, just hold it in. Just tell everyone what to do when the time comes."

After understanding the status of the servant army in the world of Merova, we began to discuss our next steps. That is, after the fleet is stationed invisibly outside their world barrier, which world should we go to first?

The capital star of the Merova capital universe is a good choice. Our goal was there from the beginning, but after knowing the existence of those copycat servants, I have to reconsider this issue. The capital planet is the "highest world" in the world of Merova. Only the upper class can live there. There should not be many slave races there, and there is no chance to understand the most extensive aspects of this mysterious society. Moreover, the capital star must have accumulated all the original high-precision equipment of the old empire. I am afraid that we will encounter trouble when we move there. Although it may not cause too much danger to us people, if the whereabouts are exposed, the war will break out in advance, and the losses will be huge. It was much larger than expected. Issandra meant that in dealing with these rebels, we did not want to cause the imperial fleet to suffer too much loss, so it was better to avoid this possibility as much as possible.

"The information at hand is still too little. We can only determine the coordinates of most of their planets, but the customs and customs of these planets will not be included in the navigation computer." Shandora turned off the star map casually, because she found that several people on the scene The guy didn't look at that thing at all, "Then let Lin Xue randomly select some planets that she likes, and first send imperial agents to lurk down to collect intelligence. We'll also randomly select one and use it as a stretch before the war begins. "

No one had any objections, so they shouted loudly - and the matter was settled.
