Chapter 996: Devastated

The emergence of the imperial power of Ulassis means that everything is over. This large-scale invasion campaign finally ended with the bankruptcy of the conspiracy of the fallen apostles. All the worlds of the empire are under the highest state of martial law. The defense forces are ready and the follow-up troops of the fallen apostles have stopped advancing. , and then retreated back to their own territory without hesitation. The invading armies from all worlds no longer wanted to fight, leaving behind large pieces of wreckage and corpses before escaping back into the shadow of the void. Lin Xue was lying in the medical cabin, while Xiaoxue used the power she inherited from her mother to confirm that the enemy's last support force had turned around.

They almost succeeded. Really, they smoked bombs one after another, diverted the tiger away from the mountain again and again, and calculated the imperial army closely. Even Father God and King Huron were dragged to the front line by them at the cost of a group army. If not The defense force's desperate battle bought time, and Lin Xue broke through the interference transmitter at the last moment. I'm afraid we won't know what happened until they destroyed the target and returned in triumph. And on the final battlefield, Sandora made an even more risky move - perhaps even a risky move cannot be described. No matter how strong she is, she shouldn't be able to count her own death, right?

Fortunately, the imperial power of Eurasia was able to turn the tide.

Each of those golden balls of light split by the imperial power of Uracis is equivalent to a soul-reaper with full power. They are the extension and amplifier of Sandora's power, and they are also the source of the burning golden star to absorb energy. Path, when these golden light balls enter the fallen apostle's position, the enemy will undoubtedly have a huge emotional reaction: panic. hostility. Anger, fighting desire, and rebellious spirit, no matter what kind of emotions they are, are eventually captured by these golden lights and become Sandora's power. In Her Majesty's own words, this is called "Your fear will eventually become mine." of food, your anger will become your own prison." This sentence is really inspiring.

When these golden light balls turned the fallen apostle battleship cluster into a large fireworks field. Bingtis was speechless.

"Sandora is very funny. She calls these things 'thinking sparks' - your thoughts will light up thinking sparks, and these sparks will soon burn your soul, that's what it means. Fortunately, I have myself here. Human. Otherwise, you will see a kind of flash called 'Requiem'. Suddenly a supernova explodes, and everything that can produce souls within half a light year will be sucked dry. The imperial power of Eurasia eats souls... …”

"If I have this time to expose my shortcomings to Arjun, why not go help the soldiers elsewhere."

Shandora finally couldn't stand it anymore. Although she tried hard to maintain the majesty of the queen in a state of glory, with Bingtis, a bad friend in her confidant, it seemed that sooner or later all her old tricks would be exposed. Her spiritual power had already spread. Throughout the battlefield, Bingtis's spiritual connection with me was not encrypted. That's like saying it in front of others.

"Ah ha ha, Her Majesty the Queen is angry, leave those idiots to me - just go and come!"

After Bingtis said these words, the holy light flashed all over his body, and a yellow light went straight to the southwest, disappearing in an instant.

"Sandora, how are you?" I turned to the radiant gaseous planet: it was the first time I learned that planetary battleships were also non-solid. "Well... I can't tell the health status of a ball."

"If you die once, how can you get better?" Sandora's voice sounded a little depressed. "Arjun, please stop teasing me. This time it really capsized in the gutter. It's not a good way to release glory like this..."

"What?" I suddenly became nervous, and it was exactly what I thought. Such a powerful force cannot be released casually, otherwise Sandora would have used her glorious gesture to open up borders and tear apart the earth. "Are there any sequelae?"

"I need to die once for emergency transformation. Isn't this serious?" Sandora was very depressed. In addition, it felt strange to have such a conversation with a gaseous planet with a radius of more than 5,000 kilometers. "I'm afraid I will be weak for a while, and... Let's be the sun for a few days. I am generating a new body from my own core. This is no small project, and I have to safely seal those abyss powers again. That thing is the real danger. If I had reacted slower just now, Yura The Sith Imperial Power will become the Abyss Imperial Power... But no matter what, I am lucky this time. If it were two or three years ago, I might not have recovered this power."

Although she had shown an almost cruel iron-blooded approach when fighting the enemy with the power of glory, after the battle, Sandora returned to her usual relaxed attitude when talking to me. When I heard her tone of voice was very relaxed, I followed suit. Relaxed, what I was most worried about now was whether she was okay: after all, she had been "killed" just now.

Thinking of this, I still felt a little blocked in my heart, but I didn't know how to express it, so I had to stay silent. I don’t know if she can sense my emotions better after releasing her true power. Sandora seemed to have guessed that I was depressed, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Jun? We won but we are not happy? Yes." Because you feel like you didn’t protect me just now?”

I didn't answer. I did feel depressed in this regard. No matter how strong Shandora's immortality was, at that moment I really experienced a hellish rollercoaster-like impact, watching her disappear in the bombing of giant bombs. I definitely don’t want to have that feeling again. If she wasn’t a Xiling Emperor who could be resurrected immediately, maybe I would really go berserk because I failed to protect her on the battlefield, but she was resurrected directly... My My mood is so messed up right now.

"As expected, it's Arjun. Anyway, I'm very happy," Sandora's voice said with a smile, "That nether energy storm scared me. I thought you were going to destroy everything. Fortunately, you still remember Xi Ling." The apostle can be resurrected...but if you feel depressed because you couldn't protect me, it's really unnecessary."

"Uh-huh." I muttered noncommittally.

"Don't understand or don't agree? I have spent my whole life on the battlefield. Facing the battlefield is facing death. For a Xiling apostle, this is part of life. I never think that I stand with you as the enemy. The reason why I stand in front of the gunfire is because I want someone to protect me. But because I hope to fight side by side with you. Arjun. It would be too bad if you put me in the position of a protected person. And in that situation, Do you think it’s possible to protect a person from more than 1,300 giant bombs?”

Speaking of the thrilling scene at that time, Sandora also became a little angry: "But this is really shameful. I was actually set up by such an ambush..."

I comforted: "Because you are too tired."

Sandora's burden is very heavy. She is not only the direct commander on the front line, but also fighting in person. Although among the several leaders who personally participated in the battle, I should be the one who contributed the most. But that relies on the life form of void creatures. Sandora does not have the increasingly weird resilience like me. She was already very tired when she came to this battlefield. Only in this state did Zadom dare to carry out the bold beheading action: otherwise, such a cautious guy would not be so reckless when he saw two emperors appearing at the same time.

"Compared to this. I found a terrible thing."

Sandora was silent for a moment and suddenly said in frustration.

"That Zadom ran away after all."

"What?!" I was shocked, "Run away? How is that possible! There's not even ashes left in this place!"

Shandora said angrily: "He uploaded himself, and what I intercepted was a pretense, an adjutant who was treated as a scapegoat."

"This is really... terrible." I looked at the servants who were cleaning the battlefield, feeling extremely regretful. "That is a troublesome guy, too cautious. And extremely cunning."

"We will always meet again on the battlefield. Harlan's fleet was seriously injured this time, but his general and a small part of the army still fled back. I am afraid that they will not be killed by other fallen emperors in a short period of time as we guessed. Annexation, I hope the next decisive battle will be on his territory - our losses this time are too great."

Yes, the losses were quite huge. Although the final victory still fell in the hands of the Imperial Army, the large-scale invasion of the Fallen Apostles still caused huge trauma to several border worlds. First of all, almost half of the local defense forces and military facilities were destroyed. This is after we have prepared a lot in advance. The disparity in numbers was an unavoidable flaw for the Imperial Army. The world that was originally the springboard for the community universe has been semi-crippled. It was the place where the most intense battles took place besides the final battlefield. When the fallen apostles faced the two god-kings, they poured out space weapons and psionic bombs in a crazy way, severely damaging the universe. The stability of the XF-35-A has dropped to less than 0.3 in just a few hours. The local defense force commander has already sent bad news. The stability parameters of a world range from zero to one, representing the tendency of various mathematical laws in this world to produce bugs when running. A world with a stability of 1 is perfect. In theory, all laws of the universe will never produce contradictions, and the development of all events will follow order. In reality, only the divine world can achieve this degree of order. A world with a stability of 0 can be considered It is the end of the world, which means that any event that occurs in the current world may trigger fatal space phenomena. Even lighting a match may cause the thermal balance of the entire galaxy to collapse. Normally, the stability of the world should be maintained between 0.5 and 0.8. A universe below 0.5 means that unstable space channels and space wonders such as light speed stasis zones will appear everywhere, while a stability below 0.3 means that the world is chaotic and the curvature of space does not vary within any light-year range. Same, the speed of light is different every minute and every second.

I very much doubt whether the celestial system fleet can successfully set sail from such a universe that is ready to collapse at any time. Maybe the entire universe will be gone if the psionic Death Star trembles.

It is necessary to find a new launch window for the celestial system fleet, and this time the window world must be more concealed than xf-35-a. Other invaded universes also need to be repaired. The fallen apostles attacked all man-made objects and places that looked habitable within their range, including vital military bases and heavy industry galaxies. Now I have a deep understanding of the system developed by the Xiling apostles. Various extra-standard scanners are very large. These allow the enemy to search for targets worth attacking within a few minutes after the war begins. Of course, the Imperial Army also has systems such as anti-radar and anti-space weapons, but you can Do you expect those civilian-level and military-level bases to have the same level of facilities?

So I think I understand what Harlan must have been feeling half a month ago...

Not only is there a lot of destroyed infrastructure that needs to be rebuilt. There are also the families of the war dead and the displaced refugees who need to be comforted - the latter is even better. The Apostles of Xiling and the community pilots have all been through the mountains of corpses and blood. They know what soldiers should face, and the civilians in those industrial areas and colonial planets were evacuated in time, and the casualties were not serious. This is considered That's something to be happy about.

The soldiers are cleaning the battlefield. This is an essential step after fighting the fallen apostle. There are too many dangerous substances in this space, and there are even abyss reactions. The barge carrier carrying a large number of sub-machine was dragged upstream of the devastated position. The sub-machine used gravity generators to disperse various debris. The parts that did not respond to the abyss were the parts of the defensive force. After being sent to the mothership, they were put into a recycling furnace on the spot and could be decomposed for use. The remains of the fallen apostles with abyssal reactions were sent to the big-bellied cargo ships following the barges. Those cargo ships were specially designed to clean up dangerous materials on the battlefield. . It is equipped with a multi-layered isolation warehouse, and the contaminated spaceship fragments are pulled into the void and discarded: the void is really a good place, you are never afraid of contamination, no matter how unwanted things are, as long as you throw them in, they will be assimilated in a short time. .

Father God and King Huron also sent news soon after. The enemy army targeted by these two big men was the only one that was completely destroyed. Enemies in several other worlds broke through and successfully retreated. Only these two veteran void creatures were dragged in. In the end, not even a scrap of the fleet in the void was left, but despite this, they still expressed regret for being delayed and unable to come to support in time. But I think we really shouldn’t blame them. After all, the fallen apostles are very cunning, and given the situation at that time, Father God couldn’t predict what the conspiracy was behind the layers of fog arranged by the enemy. What’s more important is that they are guests in the first place. When the enemy comes to attack, it's interesting enough that the guests come forward to help you with bricks. After the fight is over, it's a bit too ungrateful for you to complain that they got bricks instead of RPGs, right?

"In addition, Xingchen and I have a surprise for you," King Huron said suddenly when he hung up the communication. "You must be very interested. This thing almost tricked me."

Before I could ask what kind of surprise it was, King Huron decisively went offline, leaving people scratching their heads but not knowing what was going on. He's really a guy with a bad personality - but considering that he was so emotional just beating someone up with his crush, I understand.

In addition, I looked forward to the surprise she mentioned.

"By the way. Arjun," at this moment. Sandora's voice suddenly rang in her mind, "I want to tell you something."

"What?" I put on my sunglasses and looked at the radiant version of Sandora with a radius of 5,000 kilometers next to me. I suddenly realized something: Alaya and Anweina, the two luminous bodies, were weak at this time. Sandora Larang herself saw how terrifying the real luminous creatures are. I guess if I build a solar power station around her now, the energy crisis of the entire earth will be lifted...

"I'm hungry." Sandora said aggrievedly.

I:"……"

"You have a radius of more than 5,300 kilometers now!" I shouted almost madly, "Baby, how do you want me to feed you!"

Also, who can tell me, a big fire ball with a radius of 5,300 kilometers, well, a big ball of light, what should I eat?

"The new body grows so slowly," Sandora may have checked, as she was personally creating her new body in the core of her glory form, "Ajun, you will starve to death."

No, absolutely no one can starve to death. Don’t think that I know anything about the body of the Xiling Apostle, but it is obvious that these theories are meaningless in the face of Sandora who is in a hungry state.

"What do you want to eat now?" I looked at this honor starship, which was probably the most special one in history. "How about I find tens of thousands of laser emitters and shine them at you? I guess you can only digest light energy now." ”

Sandora thought about the scene of being fed by tens of thousands of laser cannons, hesitated for a long time and said decisively: "Forget it, let's just starve for a few days."

In fact, I'm very surprised about one thing. Sandora now doesn't even have a body, her main body is just a ball of light. How can she feel "hungry" something that requires a stomach to understand? After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, and in the end I could only come to a horrifying conclusion: Just as the quality of "inertia" can be described as the character of an abyss creature, the feeling of "hungry" may have become a trait of Sandor's. It pulled a part of her soul. She was hungry not because her stomach was empty, but because she felt hungry now...

I understand why this girl can eat non-stop.

While he was chatting with Sandora and waiting for the fleets elsewhere to complete reorganization, a strong space fluctuation suddenly occurred 300,000 kilometers away, and then the information link reported that large mass units were forming in space. It's our own army. I was wondering which group this was when I heard a crazy shout from the public channel: "Where is the enemy! Get out and let this ship take a shot! My surname is Chen! This ship wants to There were 997 main guns back then! How dare you block the way of this ship..."

Then the Revenge Fleet, which seemed to be still covered in gunpowder smoke, and the Warsong, which had just reentered the battle, appeared on the battlefield, accepting the onlookers of the defense forces.

A defense force intelligence officer reported helplessly to this group of slightly confused friendly troops: "The enemy has been defeated, sir."

"What! what the fuc..."

"Your Majesty, what are you..." The Grand Warlord pushed the rogue AI named Chen out of the channel without hesitation, and the fleet asked while approaching Sandora.

"It's a small problem, don't worry about it." Sandora said with a clear tone. I can imagine that she might be rubbing her belly when she said this: on a spiritual level.

"I'm very sorry, my subordinate delayed the flight."

"But you fought two enemy armies at the same time and came back almost unscathed," Sandora's voice was calm. "Also, you'd better stop suppressing the signal of the war horn, she plans to hit you."

The mad AI aboard the Warsong was finally able to speak, and immediately became arrogant: "Ah ha, you are still a sensible person. If you cut off the lines of this ship casually in the future, I will fool your face with gravity! This ship finally knows How to use this gravitational distortion system!"

Me: "..." Letting this guy talk is a huge mistake! (To be continued)
