Chapter 608: Alaya’s Warmth?
To be honest, talking to Roland Gale put me under great pressure.
Although we have known for a long time that those rebels have caused great harm to the people, but now, we understand it more deeply.
These leaders who lead their people to survive under the hands of the "shepherds" are already at the limit of what humans can do in every aspect. Their courage is such that even Viska and Pandora would look at them with suspicion. Although these leaders are not necessarily good people, and there are even ambitious invaders and tyrants who wantonly start wars, at least the sacrifices they made for their persistence are enough to be amazing.
I don’t know if Mr. Roland Gale is using this method to increase his bargaining chip and give us a heavy responsibility. Maybe as he said, he is just stating the facts, but I really feel the pressure at this moment. huge.
Although we didn't even know the existence of those rebels before, now it is the duty of the emperor to eliminate them.
"Don't worry, the empire will take care of everything, so about our purpose here..."
"Yes, Lady Lilina has told me something in advance." Roland Gale said in a low voice, "You discovered the connection between the angel pirates and...'rebels', and launched a raid on the former, destroying He conquered their entire star system, and then grabbed some of their... ancient artifacts, His Majesty the Pope described that thing this way."
The pseudo-loli next to me immediately happily hugged my arm and shook it violently: "Hey! Boss, His Majesty the Pope, he calls me His Majesty the Pope! Lilina is indeed a qualified cleric, right?!"
I regretted bringing this embarrassing guy out - the expression on the old man's face at that moment was so wonderful.
"Just treat everything as normal," I smiled coquettishly, and asked my sister to drag Lilina while educating her, "My sister took the wrong medicine for a cold when she was a child..."
Roland Gale: "..."
The image of the Imperial people has completely collapsed. Fortunately, the old man is now heartless, otherwise he might have suffered a myocardial infarction.
All in all, we subtly ignored the previous episode and got back to business and started discussing things about the Angel Pirates.
In the era when Roland Gale was still an individual (...), the Angel Pirates, like the Black Mist Pirates that emerged later, were just large-scale but unorganized and undisciplined pirate gangs. At that time, almost one consortium dominated the Dongtian District. They are not even second-rate forces. Their sudden rise happened almost overnight, and the reason for their rise is, as we suspected, related to the rebels: the angel pirates can attract the "Shepherd" fleet to the battlefield in critical moments. No matter how powerful the army is, the warships facing the shepherds are no different than sampans. It is by virtue of this mysterious ability that the angel pirates have destroyed a large number of hostile forces and made a large number of small pirates and even small kingdoms fearful. In the year when the consortium was in crisis, the Angel Pirates also used this method to destroy the borders of the consortium kingdom in one fell swoop and established their own pirate empire on one-third of the territory of Dongtian District.
If this is the case, maybe the angel pirates can even use the shepherd's power to sweep across the entire universe. No one in the world can resist the shepherd warship they summoned, but those desperadoes did not continue to expand because they could not control those The Shepherd warship was attracted.
"The 'rebel' warships that were summoned do not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy." Because of us, Roland Gale now also began to call the "Emperor" as "rebels". "Those warships will be attacked by angel pirates." The signal is attracted. As long as the signal is uninterrupted, the 'rebel' warships will not attack the signal transmitting ships and the positions where the transmitting ships are located. However, the energy required to maintain that kind of signal transmission is amazing. The largest aircraft carrier of the Angel Pirates also The signal can only be transmitted for six hours. Once the signal is terminated, the 'rebel' fleet will attack indiscriminately. No one on the battlefield can escape, except for the spacecraft that transmitted the signal - the rebels will not do anything Any action that will harm the source of the signal emission is limited to those aircraft carriers carrying the transmitter. In other words, the fleet used to protect the launch ship is destined to be completely annihilated after the call signal is sent. The Angel Pirates cannot afford it. At such a price, after being able to protect themselves enough, those cowards stopped expanding and used the power of the 'rebels' to seize control of the Dongtian District and become kings with peace of mind."
Roland Gale's voice contained undisguised contempt for the angel pirates. Compared to the countless forces that relied on huge sacrifices and courage to survive, the angel pirates only relied on luck, cunning, and the majesty of the rebels. In today's situation, they are a group of robbers and bandits from top to bottom, but they can rely on the power they got by chance to stand in the same position as many kingdoms that have paid a huge price to survive to this day. This fact is so hard to accept. !
And we also got good news: the Angel Pirates can only use emitting signals to attract rebels, but they cannot master the technology of using ancient artifacts to control those fleets. In this way, their threat is much smaller. Tavel has already We have developed a method to turn off the signal transmission function of ancient artifacts. Maybe we can make miniaturized jamming equipment tomorrow and use the powerful penetration ability of Armored Scorpion. If the situation of the last battle happens again, the ancient artifacts in the hands of the angel pirates will be harmful to us. Giving a promise is the same as giving it away for free.
"Hey, old man, do you know how those pirates got the ancient artifacts?" Qianqian suddenly jumped out and asked happily, which made me stunned: this girl can do other things besides acting cute. When it's down to business?
"According to the information we have received, it is very likely that they entered the Great Nebula - and came out alive." The old man closed his eyes slightly and made a recalling look, "In a war era three hundred and twenty-seven years ago, Angel The pirates were once hunted by a kingdom in the East Sky District. After losing all their territories, they were forced to enter the Great Nebula, where all the forces that lost their territories fought for the final battle. The Angel Pirates were the only one in that war era. The reason why the troops returned alive from the Great Nebula battlefield was probably because they got those things inside... I remember that when the Angel Pirates came back, they were dragging a huge wreckage, which was a long The twisted fragment, which was more than ten kilometers long, was protected like a treasure by the remaining troops of the Angel Pirates. Since then, the Angel Pirates have risen rapidly... If I guessed correctly, that fragment should be among the Angel Pirates now. It is stored on the first star, and the fragments are likely to be the belongings of the 'rebels'. The angel pirates will not be able to study it thoroughly in just a few hundred years despite all their efforts. If you want to launch a war there, the consortium will assist You, although your strength is meager, we believe that we can trigger an unprecedented war on the western border of the Angel Pirates."
"It's good that you are very active, but in this way the entire Roland Gale consortium is very likely to be completely pushed against the imperial rebels." I looked at the huge head in front of me. The other person's weathered face was as sharp as a knife. The light flashed in the old eyes. I don't know if this artificial head was deliberately designed like this, but the determination and determination revealed in the other person's eyes are almost unbelievable. What is hidden in the head is actually a human being. The aging soul said, "You have to think clearly. The imperial rebels may focus all their attention on us, but as long as they transfer one-tenth of their hostility to the consortium, your empire may be destroyed at any time." , I’m not bragging, the cross starship we parked next to your capital alone is equipped with world-strike weapons that are enough to destroy everything about you in an instant.”
The old man listened to me quietly, and then closed his eyes slightly.
"I don't have much time left."
"No matter it is biochemical technology, artificial intelligence, bionic neural network, or even the technology secretly learned from the 'Imperial Rebels', it is impossible for me to obtain true immortality. I am aging, not my body. This planet The head has many backups. My minister can transfer all my memories and thoughts to the young 'body' at any time, but I can feel that my aging is happening mentally, or in other words, soul - it is difficult to I believe that the soul actually has its own lifespan, and it appears in my consciousness with such a clear feeling. Maybe next month, or maybe tomorrow, my soul will freeze, and then sleep forever, losing the leadership of the leader. , this kingdom that is displeasing to everyone was destroyed in just a blink of an eye. I know very well that no one around me can bear this burden..."
"It's not just me, all the old guys who turned themselves into neither humans nor ghosts are entering the grave. It's just a matter of time. The rulers of our generation have lived for hundreds of years, even nearly a thousand years. We fight with each other. They invade each other, but they are each other's only friends in this world. Less than 30% of the guys who dealt with him hundreds of years ago are still alive... In the entire galaxy, in the four regions, the most powerful So far, there are only less than ten people left in the kingdom. The cycle of great purges is not far away..."
"We can't see any promising leaders among the young forces. The old guys who are neither human nor ghosts are getting older one by one. Soon the life cycle of this universe will end. This is a secret that few people know. In The ancient records we have found record that a great cleansing of life will occur in this universe every once in a while, and now I have a vague feeling that this cycle is coming."
"Perhaps the only one among the rulers of our generation who can truly live forever is the little queen of the Free Kingdom. She is the youngest among us old people, and she has a body from the Empire. Perhaps the Free Kingdom will be the last country still standing before the great purge of life, but..."
The old man said a lot, and then suddenly fell silent.
Ten seconds later, Roland Gale suddenly opened his eyes: "I want to take a gamble again! Take a gamble with this old bone! We have lived a life of resignation for hundreds of years! Living in an ignoble way, without any resistance Waiting for death! Those old things are cowards! That little queen is still very young, but I - I am Roland Gale! I will not just do nothing in front of the only opportunity! Since my death means the country's If it is destroyed, then I want to see if I can still create a viable future for the people before this death comes! Give me this chance!"
"Warning, the emotional fluctuation value exceeds the warning line, and the suppressive electric field is activated. Leader, please pay attention to your health."
The sudden electronic sound in the hall stopped Roland Gale's impassioned speech. In an instant, the angry old man in front of us regained his calm expression, but the blazing light in his eyes was still difficult to look at.
"I envy that little queen named Fina. Although she has no emotions at all, she is countless times better than a guy like me who still has emotions." The old man's head said with self-deprecation, and the muscles on his face slowly relaxed. Go on, "I'm very sorry, leader of the empire, I am just the ruler of a weak civilization, but I want you to know that even the weak have their own dignity. I hope to use my own power to protect the people, rather than waiting for some empire Come and save yourself, you are strong, but I don’t want to rely on any savior!”
"You are also very powerful," Viska's blood-red eyes looked at the old man. "If you were an Imperial, I would definitely award you a warrior's medal. You are stronger than other rulers we have seen in this universe. Much more.”
"Okay, Lilina, I seem to know why you have such a high opinion of this country," I said to the sister of the greatest bishop through spiritual connection. The latter bared her teeth at me, with a rosy glow on her face: " He’s a pretty hot-blooded old man, isn’t he?”
I:"……"
Sister took a long breath: "Well, this is also a good thing. Just wait, our liaison officer will tell you the emperor's next plan in about a day or two, and if you have any questions about the angel pirates, If you remember something more, tell us immediately.”
The night falls, and the nights in Titan are extremely cold. Even in the "first warm season" of this planet, the outside is around zero when night falls. Although I am not afraid of such low temperatures, a certain kind of cold seems to be coming from The depths of the universe slowly seeped in, making me feel slightly chilled.
Somehow, I just couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned in the room for a long time without falling asleep. I had so many thoughts in my mind that I didn't know what I was thinking. Anyway, in the end...
In the end, a certain head of the empire asked mercury lamp to kick him out of the room.
This sounds so ambiguous, but if you know how arrogantly that 92.3cm guy is using his biological clock to destroy my work and rest habits, I'm afraid the rest will be sympathy - the nine o'clock in the evening must be trained by onee-sama You can't afford to hurt a doll that sleeps in a box and is extremely alert and alert after falling asleep!
It was almost time for the others to go to bed at this time. Although they were all girls, they were a group of great girls who shouldered heavy responsibilities. Onee-sama, Sivis and the others had been studying the anti-angel since they returned to the battleship until night. The battle plan of the pirates. Although the latter is just a weak ordinary civilization, it is very likely that they have a set of ancient devices that can summon rebels from all over the universe. However, the transmitters we captured are only part of these ancient devices. A few parts, which made us feel very tricky. As for Pandora and Huesca, although they could not come up with any constructive ideas, they were more or less generals. They also spent half a day immersed in work: for example, they formulated a hundred and twenty There are ten genocide plans against the angel pirates, and Lilina is preparing many mysterious rituals. It is said that she hopes to make the heroic troops more powerful in combat. Even Qian Qian, whose mind is always wandering,...
Let’s move on to the next topic.
Anyway, they are all so busy that they have fallen asleep from exhaustion now - I am so bored that I can't sleep now, so is it too sinful to come out to enjoy the breeze in the middle of the night?
In order not to put pressure on ordinary residents in the city, and to work more conveniently, we did not accept the invitation of Roland Gale to live in the city. Instead, we returned to the Imperial Admiral. My position now is at the end of the battleship's horizontal arm. From a small platform, one can have a panoramic view of the capital city of Tien, which has sunk into darkness dozens of kilometers away. Under the dim cold stars, the city is still brightly lit.
"Buzz——"
A very weak buzzing sound suddenly sounded next to me, and a soft white light shrouded a few meters around me out of thin air. Then, a certain angel sister who was rubbing her eyes came lightly in front of me.
Because I didn’t know what the other party wanted to do when she came out suddenly, I didn’t say anything, I just looked at her with confusion.
The silver-haired angel girl shrouded in the soft holy light rubbed her eyes, stretched her wings and floated in the air, flew about five or six meters to the left, and then made a posture to lie down. The next second, snap.
Three seconds later, I remembered in a cold sweat that if that place was in my room, it would be where the sofa was... This silly cat angel was sleepwalking! !
"Hmm..."
After stupidly throwing herself to the ground, Alaya finally woke up. This sleeping angel who spent 60 to 70% of the time in a daze has become more and more weird recently. He can hardly see her all day long. Human figure, if we hadn’t heard her snoring softly in her mental sea every day in her spare time, and in the afternoon she would come out and ask me or my sister to help comb her feathers, we would have almost forgotten her existence. Now it seems that this girl is not only Sometimes when you fall asleep, your mind will fall out of your mind, and you have recently developed the habit of sleepwalking?
"Brother Jun, it's so cold in the room."
The silly cat angel floated over with his eyes closed as if smelling the scent. He still didn't wake up, but he could accurately talk to me in his sleep, "Is the air conditioner broken?"
...your sister in the room! Open your eyes you sleepyhead!
Another gust of cold wind blew, and Alaya finally shivered, and then opened his golden eyes: "Eh? Brother Jun, where is the roof?"
I...do you believe me when I say I smoked it?
"I can't sleep, come out and get some air," I pressed lightly on Alaya's head. I have been busy in the past few days, and the angel sister has been left out in the cold. There is no way, she doesn't seem to be good at interstellar warfare. When she was busy fighting, all she had to do was sleep, "If you are still sleepy, just come back and sleep. The spiritual sea is always warm."
"I'm not sleepy anymore," Alaya's dull little face finally cheered up, "I've slept enough during the day."
Raising an angel who stays day and night... Mom, what have I done? !
"It's a good time if you're not sleeping. Come here and lend me your wings."
I was having fun, and suddenly felt that the other person was quite funny, so, under Alaya's dumb reaction, I pulled the other person's wings away and put them on myself: "It's much warmer."
This thing is more powerful than low-level things like duvets. Whenever there is a chance, Little Bubble will always try to sleep under Alaya's wings. I have wanted to try it for a long time.
Alaya blinked her eyes in confusion, suddenly laughed gently, and made a completely unexpected move: she leaned over, hugged me gently from behind, and then stretched out her other wing. He came over, and a pair of white wings completely enveloped the two people: "Brother Jun, it's not cold now." (To be continued.
