Chapter 1,466 Speculations and Personal Visits

"They stole the heart of the world," Bingtis looked at Sandora, then turned to look at me, "They have done this before."

Sandora's brows immediately frowned: the fallen apostles robbed the heart of the world. Of course we are not unfamiliar with their actions, because those guys have been doing this since the day we dealt with them!

Sandora looked at Bingtis very seriously: "Are they sure they are going for the Heart of the World? Or because they failed to attack by force, they can only take away the Heart of the World as the result of the battle?"

"Who knows, the situation is still unknown. The Gods of War are still investigating. You don't know how chaotic the battlefield is over there." Bingtis covered his eyes with his hands, looking very tired, "That's a border world. It was originally located in the calmest area of ​​the void, out of reach of the fallen apostles, so there were not many garrison troops. The madmen directly tore a hole in the material and illusory layers and rushed in, and suddenly appeared in the sky above the local Kingdom of God. Fortunately, the defense officer over there reacted quickly and the Kingdom of God was not captured. However, except for the Kingdom of God, all the surrounding galaxies were raided by those madmen. By the time the army of Gods rushed over to support, the Heart of the World was gone. Everything is in chaos, and it’s hard to tell whether the fallen apostle went for the Heart of the World from the beginning or snatched it along the way... But to be honest, I have a bit of an ominous premonition. Although those guys are a little crazy, they can still fight. They are never stupid, there must be a reason for everything they do.”

I looked at Bingtis's half-dead state: "Why do you look so tired? Did you also go to the war?"

"Oh, the fight was already over when I arrived in the God Realm," Bingtis groaned and turned over, "When I got home, my parents said three things: when to get married, when to get married. Our granddaughter Well - I have suffered from neurasthenia and haven't slept well for three days."

The little doll who was watching TV on the sofa next to him heard the word "granddaughter" and immediately slithered into the crack of the sofa...

I looked at Bingtis with a tangled expression, and thought to myself, ordinary people, can you imagine that the goddess would say these three words when she went home to face her parents? At present, it seems that Kuvain and his wife are almost out of their minds over this matter. Disease.

Bingtis was grumbling and pretending to be seriously ill, looking like he was about to die, and Sandora ignored her and didn't seem to be doing anything right at the moment. Instead, he was thinking about what happened to the Fallen Apostle's operation: "They haven't taken action against the Heart of the World for a long time. I almost thought that their operation was over. Now it seems that their activities of collecting the Heart of the World have turned out to be It’s still going on.”

I thought of another thing: "If the heart of the world is taken away, will there be no problem in that universe?"

"If the world is left unattended, it will basically collapse quickly due to disorder and increase in entropy," Sandora shook her head. "However, the Gods can reorganize its information entanglement points and refocus the world on an artificial world heart. It is not a big problem."

My sister sat down opposite us. She seemed to have some thoughts: "Isn't the Fallen Apostle collecting the Heart of the World for some great cause? There was a pause before. We thought that their great cause was coming to an end, so there was no need to collect materials anymore. Now they They are collecting world hearts again. Could it be because their 'great cause' encountered some problems?"

"I think so on the bright side," Sandora spread her hands, "but I'm used to thinking on the bad side. Maybe this is a sign of the beginning of a great cause. Anyway, I don't feel at ease if those guys make any movement. ."

Sandora and her sister were thinking about whether the "great cause" of the fallen apostles had reached a critical point, but what I was thinking about was another thing:

Why did the always cautious fallen apostle suddenly become so high-profile? Why are their action styles so different all of a sudden?

The territory of the Abyss Empire does not directly border the God Realm, and the closest "distance" worlds between the two sides are also tightly guarded. No one can win against anyone, so there has never been a direct war between them. Although the Fallen Apostles are powerful, they are ultimately weaker than the Star Territory. However, the Star Territory is constrained by the huge territory and the upcoming expedition, so they can only maintain this confrontation with the Fallen Apostles. No matter which way you look at it, as the weaker of the two, the Fallen Apostle should not take the initiative to break this stalemate: this is simply too irrational, and this is what welding detonators and sawing light bulbs are like.

If Bingtis's information is correct, the fallen apostle's surprise attack on the star field was an "expedition" and did not build a fortress. There is no springboard world, and they directly sent waves of expeditionary troops to raid the Protoss mainland. Even a dabbler like me can see that this operation is very risky. If you are not careful, the entire army may be annihilated on the front line. The only thing they can rely on is the surprise attack. Advantages and quick action: Evacuate before you are surrounded by protoss reinforcements.

"It feels like a blitzkrieg. Or like nomads, they just grab things and run away. Regardless of the consequences, they just feel good for the time being." I summarized my feelings. "I always feel that it is different from their past style of steady and steady tactics with frequent tricks. Same."

Since coming into contact a few years ago, the fallen apostles have given people the impression of being steady: although they have many tricks, often make shocking moves, and their actions are erratic, the fallen apostles always follow the principle of caution in the big picture. We use It took several years to roughly figure out how big their territory is, and they still don't know how much military power their opponents have. This shows how cautious they are.

If nothing else, they have never caused trouble to the Gods before, which is undoubtedly reducing the risk.

Shandora stood up suddenly, her resolute and resolute character reflected at that time: "I will go to the headquarters first. No matter what happens inside the fallen apostles, in short, the empire will raise the alert level first. Maybe the next step for those crazy people is Come here to enjoy the autumn breeze.”

After the words fell, Sandora had disappeared into a distorted teleportation light curtain. Bingtis was still lying on Sandora's lap before. At this time, she was climbing up the armrest of the sofa: "Damn it, why can't you get up?" Say it and scare me!"

I grabbed Sister Bing's arm and helped her to the sofa: "Besides the attack by the fallen apostles, has anything else happened in the God Realm?"

Bingtis looked over with a strange look on his face: "Why do you sound like you are expecting something big to happen in the God Realm?"

I suddenly didn't know what to say: "...Isn't this a sign of concern?"

"It seems that nothing happened. When I went back, I saw that they were busy tracing the whereabouts of the invading army after that. The group of fallen apostles disappeared after being driven away. I don't know if it was. He has already returned to his lair. If he hasn't returned yet, he can be intercepted and killed on the way... But I think the chance is low, and you also know how elusive the fallen apostles are."

"What are the plans in the God Realm?" I asked, "Is there anything we can do to help?"

In any case, the reason for the appearance of the fallen apostles is the remnants of the old empire's madness. Back then, a group of passionate x-plots not only destroyed the foundation of the empire, but also left behind a scourge that has not dissipated but has continued to expand over the past tens of thousands of years, even the gods were in a state of distress. Now that the fallen apostle has become a disaster in the void, I feel a little embarrassed.

Bingtis slapped me on the shoulder and laughed manly: "Ah ha, that's enough. The Gods can handle it on their own. It would be too shameful to ask for support for even this little thing. Father God is here. Summon experienced garrison officers and prepare to carry out 'activities' on the border of the Abyss Empire. In short, the expedition cannot be delayed, so we should try our best to select the best soldiers from the soldiers who can be mobilized."

Qian Qian has been listening to our discussion since just now, but she never spoke. At this time, this girl saw that we had finished talking. Then he raised his hand: "Ajun, there is someone who is not very mature..."

I found that even Bingtis was trembling: Qianqian's immature idea was too coercive.

"You tell me, mature or immature will be discussed later." I waved my hand to Qianqian and told her to just talk. Although this girl's ideas are not very logical in most cases, what is undeniable is her jumping ability. Occasionally, the mind will have a flash of inspiration and hit the truth.

"The Fallen Apostles must not be able to defeat the Gods if they directly start a war with them," Qianqian told us about her reasoning process with her fingers. "They must have cut off their own retreat by starting a war with the Gods and the New Empire at the same time... Could it be? Because they don’t need a retreat now?”

Bingtis leaned in front of Qianqian and said, "You mean they have no regrets in this life?"

I pushed this dishonest female gangster aside. Qian Qian continued: "Ajun, do you still remember when we were in the first grade and went to draw little tortoises on the homeroom teacher's door, right?"

When I mentioned this briefly, I immediately trembled all over: I not only remember it, but it was still fresh in my memory. It was a passionate July with the sun burning like fire and the earth burning like a furnace. I was still a bear with the dream of becoming a scientist when I grow up. child, and then was encouraged by Qian Qian, who was also a naughty child, to draw a little tortoise on the door of the class teacher's office all afternoon... Our thoughts at the time were this: Isn't the final exam of the first grade over? Both naughty children thought that This is the day of complete liberation. From now on, we no longer have to be controlled by the old lady who is the head teacher, so we all went to draw little tortoises to celebrate - and then we both realized that there is something called second grade in this world...

It was only then that I became wary of any ideas that came out of Qian Qian's mouth, but no matter how vigilant I was, it was useless. I was still fooled by her immature ideas for more than twenty years. It is still being deceived to this day, and it is estimated that it will continue to be deceived until the end of time.

I silently put this painful memory back where it belongs, and I finally understood what Qian Qian meant: the fallen apostles today are just like the two naughty kids who brazenly drew little bastards in front of the homeroom teacher’s door because they are no longer needed in the future. He was afraid that he suddenly wanted to die like this.

It's just that those two naughty kids really succeeded in committing suicide in the end, but that's not necessarily the case for the fallen apostles: maybe they really have "nothing to be afraid of anymore."

It’s so scary to think about it!

Sandora quickly raised the early warning level in the empire by one level. The patrols of the local defense forces have begun to increase, and the major fleets are also in a state of readiness for war. At the same time, the Abyss Rebellion has also begun to organize more spy troops to infiltrate the Abyss Empire. In short, we must find a way to find out what happened within the Fallen Apostles. What circumstances caused such a big change in their behavior?

We also sent a group of military experts to the God Realm - of course, Bingtis said that the Gods do not need support, and their own army can deal with this threat. I also believe that Star Realm does have this strength, but this group of military experts In the past, it was not used as a fighting force. They act as advisors and think tanks. The Star Realm Protoss doesn't have many fights with the Fallen Apostles. Combat prowess is one thing, and experience is another. Even if they are better at fighting than the Fallen Apostles, they can easily suffer losses due to their carelessness. This time, the invasion force of the Fallen Apostles was able to withdraw from the Protoss territory unharmed. A large part of the reason was that the local Protoss garrison did not understand the enemy's movement patterns and fleet performance.

Therefore, we found about thirty experienced military advisors from the Sixth Fleet and the Abyss Regiment and sent them to the God Realm to help the Gods analyze this border attack and perhaps find clues about the enemy's retreat.

Time flies so fast in the busyness, and it seems that I am really a guy who can't take any time off. He ran into trouble like this within a few days of being free. A few days passed in the blink of an eye. The news coming back from the military advisor who went to the God Realm is not very good:

No clues were found about the retreat of the fallen apostles. They seemed to evaporate out of thin air and disappeared into the void. It seemed that the opponent had already planned an evacuation plan before the attack. Since the fallen apostle's action path cannot be found, effective means such as setting up jump interference in the void are naturally out of the question. The Gods have to rely on increasing the number of border guards to prevent the enemy's next raid. In addition, it is impossible to determine which force of the Abyss Empire the invading troops belong to. Naturally, Harlan couldn't analyze which "old friend" was responsible for this based on his memories from his time in the Fallen Apostles camp.

This last point is particularly strange: During the fierce battle between the fallen apostles and the Gods, a large number of battleships were destroyed. The wreckage of those battleships is now in the hands of the Gods, but no one recognizes the emblems representing the forces on the wreckage of the battleships. Harlan has already seen it. Those strange logos, he was sure that those logos did not belong to any fallen emperor he knew.

Of course, although there are many things that are still unclear, those military experts and the protoss' investigation team are not vegetarians. They were still sure of one thing, but it was even bigger bad news:

The fallen apostles are indeed heading for the Heart of the World, and there are various signs that their goal from the beginning is to snatch that thing.

Once this news was confirmed, many people immediately became restless. The mysterious "Great Cause" has always been a time bomb hanging over everyone's heads, and the Heart of the World is the most important part of the "Great Cause". At first, the Fallen Apostles only stole the Heart of the World from the unmanaged native world of the void, and after encountering constant obstacles from the New Empire, they seemed to have put off this harmful behavior. Unexpectedly, they had been peaceful for so long. I'm waiting for the skill CD - the ultimate move is ready now. They upgraded directly to running into the territory of the gods to grab things.

This incident brought a lot of pressure to everyone, and even Shandora was affected: she had lost her appetite for three consecutive days, so much so that I began to worry about whether the city's tableware manufacturing industry would be affected by this. If this continues, K City Ceramics Factory No. 2 will become the first company on earth to be successfully affected by the fallen apostle...

In short, the more I thought about it, the more strange it seemed to me, and I finally decided to go to the God Realm.

Anyway, I usually just drop by from time to time: now the transportation between the God Realm and the capital of the empire is not as convenient as usual.

Sandora originally wanted to go along. But considering the current troubled times, there must be someone in charge of the empire, so she can only stay and take charge of the overall situation. It’s quite frustrating to say that the new empire now has five emperors in theory. In addition to Sandora and I, my sister is the former queen of the empire, and Bellavera and Harlan are both active heads of state. It stands to reason that there are a lot more people in this town than before, but my sister is just a "former queen" and has lost all her memory. Bella Vera is still half-brained (no mistake), and she usually spends most of her time as the owner. Sylvia in the ** timeline is active outside. In the end, Harlan is finally a good coolie who can do things. In the end, an abyss ** group is enough to keep him busy. After looking around, in the end, the leader of the new empire is It's still me and Shandora...

You said after the development in the past few years, why don’t I feel relaxed at all?

In front of the portal of the Temple of the World Tree, I put the luggage container prepared by my sister into my carry-on space and said goodbye to my family. Qian Qian stood next to me with a happy face: This girl decided to come with me this time. join in the fun.

I turned my head and looked at the little doll sitting on my shoulder looking around: "Are you sure you want to follow?"

The doll girl pulled my hair: "You don't want to?"

"Not really, mainly because we are not going out for fun this time, we have to discuss business."

"I know," the little doll held my head and shook it, "I'm going to see you to discuss business."

I silently looked at Bingtis on the other side and reminded the little girl in a subtle way: "You have a 'grandpa' over there..."

The little doll visibly stiffened, but his attitude was still firm: "You are responsible for dealing with that weird old man, and I am responsible for not causing trouble for you!"

I was at a loss. I knew in my heart that I really didn't have much time to spend with my child these days. Plus, the little doll was bored at home all day long and needed to go out to see the world, so I didn't say anything more and nodded in acquiescence.

In the end, I was carrying the little doll girl on my shoulders, leading Qianqian and Bingtis behind me, plus Lilina who was going to the God Realm to "visit the divine light" (actually a publicly funded trip), and it was like taking the whole family on an outing. Stepped into the portal leading to the God Realm. 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.
