Chapter 1,282 Sudden

Xiaoxue's ability to think out of the box was probably brought out by Qianqian when she was a child. Her mobility is greater than the other naughty children in the family combined. Vincent Carlo just revealed his identity. This girl ran off to find Carter Carlo, who was meeting with other military advisors in the tactical center to analyze the new information exposed by the fallen apostles in this battle - and then was killed by Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire. He was dragged to the prisoner of war camp.

"Dad, I brought the person here." Xiaoxue dragged Carter Carlo, who was full of confusion, and immediately came to my side to take credit. Although I didn't know what she had to take credit for, I still rubbed it. Rub this girl's head: otherwise she could stay here for two hours.

"Carter?" Vincent looked at his younger brother who was wearing the uniform of the New Empire. He had just heard that his younger brother was here, but before he could think more about it, the topic was changed. Now he saw the real person appear with his own eyes. , he finally followed up on the surprise thirteen minutes ago, "During your last expedition..."

"Same as you," Carter Carlo was also stunned, and then quickly figured out what happened. He was overjoyed and stepped forward to support his weak brother, "I was freed from that nightmare earlier than you... It's great to see that you were successfully transformed too, not everyone is so lucky."

I remembered what Sandora said back then: The Xiling Apostles are not emotionless creatures. They also have the concept of relatives and friends, and will form families or similar social groups when needed. The most common family relationship among Xiling apostles is "brothers and sisters", and their "family" groups are generally quite large: apostles born in factory mass production. In the core of thinking, all other apostles who come off the production line in the same batch are often regarded as brothers and sisters, Xiling apostles created by replicating prototypes. All apostles under the same "number of copies" will be regarded as relatives of the same generation. An example of the second situation is the ravens of the New Empire. All current ravens are copied from the soul fragments of the Raven King Bellavera. No matter how many copies are made, they all belong to the "first round of copies" Therefore, all the ravens in the new empire are sisters, and they sometimes refer to each other as sisters. Raven 001 is the recognized sister of all ravens, and Bellavilla and Sylvia are called Be a mother or maternal body.

Carter Carlo and Vincent Carlo fall into the first category. They were the same batch of soldiers who came off the production line in the old empire. Therefore, they call each other brothers.

Although they call each other brothers, Carter Carlo and Vincent Carlo now have different levels of authority. Vincent has become the supreme commander of the entire fleet, while Carter Carlo is a squadron commander. Officer, this is based on the empire's military promotion principle. Now Carter is required to address Vincent as "sir" and obey Vincent's orders as a junior officer, but on the other side, both on missions and on the battlefield. They still maintain a brotherly bond.

This is the unique family relationship in a military camp-like society like the Xiling Empire - it seems a bit inhumane to ordinary races, and the structure also feels weird, but to the Xiling Apostle himself, there is nothing better than this More suitable for them.

"Perhaps we should give these two brothers some time to communicate," my sister suddenly touched my arm lightly and said in a mental connection. "Having Carter explain the situation of the new empire is probably more effective than others."

I nodded, reached out and grabbed Xiaoxue, who was restlessly circling around Carter and Vincent, and kept making random suggestions, and dragged her out of the prison space amidst the girl's dancing protests.

After leaving the dimensional prison. We did not return to the bridge immediately, but stopped at the guard post outside the prisoner of war camp. The sister looked in the direction of the prison area with a thoughtful expression.

Unlike the "expanded mode" on the planet's surface, when in the "starship mode" inside the Imperial Admiral, the prisoner of war camp is a compact three-dimensional structure, which forms a sunken bowl shape under the support of structural beams. Area, with a radius of several kilometers, a dozen hemispherical dimensional prisons are neatly arranged in a circle within the bowl-shaped area, and the prison with the highest security level is located in the center of the bowl-shaped area. These dimensional prisons have been empty most of the time, and there are very few dangerous creatures worthy of being locked up in the prisons of the Interstellar Alliance flagship. But this time, half of these prisons have been activated.

"How many more examples are there like Carter Carlo and Vincent Carlo?"

My sister was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.

I know what she is thinking. This is a topic that cannot be avoided: Today, when the old empire collapsed and the Xiling apostles were divided, how many Xiling apostles were split into two camps, and how many were fighting against each other on the front line? Soldiers fought bloody battles on the same battlefield 70,000 years ago? It doesn’t take statistics to imagine its huge number. Carter Carlo participated in battlefield command as a senior advisor on today's battlefield. He did not know that his brother was within the range of his cannon - but even if he knew, he would complete his role as an imperial soldier. duty of.

There is only mission within the range of our guns. This is the principle of every Imperial soldier.

Vincent Carlo was a lucky man, and his brother was even more so. There are also those fallen apostles who were successfully captured and reversed by us together with Vincent. They are all lucky ones. If my sister had not gone out with the army, then we would not have been able to capture the enemy's flagship formation. This invasion and defense battle would be like most previous battles, ending with the complete defeat or even annihilation of either the Imperial Army or the Fallen Apostles. , there will be no prisoners of war, no survivors, Carter Carlo will command the new Imperial fleet to reduce his brother to ashes, regardless of whether either side knows the other's existence.

The war between the empire and the fallen apostles has lasted for nearly five years, and will continue. Compared with the war between the Xiling apostles and the abyss forces that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, it is just a very inconspicuous new war. history, and the continuation of that ancient war - it is still far from ending, and soldiers who were once compatriots will continue to fight until one side is completely extinct. The contradiction between order and non-order is thus irreconcilable.

Each of us has realized this many years ago. The thrilling "pass" of the Carlo brothers is just a small embellishment in this long war-the only special thing about it is that both people are very lucky. And it happened right in front of our eyes, which caused my sister and I to sigh.

"There is no way, the war has to continue." Xiaoxue blinked, her eyes flicking between my sister and me. This ice-snow smart girl is not as heartless as she showed, "To be honest, The war between the world of order and the forces of the abyss has probably started since the birth of the first world in the void. Even the entire history of the empire is just one long battle in this war. No one can stop it, I I heard my second uncle say this when I was a kid: No one can stop."

"In your time, the war between the fallen apostles and the empire was still going on?" My heart moved and I turned my head to look at Xiaoxue. What she said seemed to be revealing some information.

"...The war between the empire and the abyss is still going on." Xiaoxue took a breath and said slowly. Then he carefully closed his mouth and didn't reveal anything anymore.

But she actually revealed a lot of things. I noticed keenly that Xiaoxue used the word "abyss" instead of "fallen apostle" when answering my question. There are two explanations for this: first. The Abyss and the Fallen Apostles can be confused to some extent. The war between the empire and the Fallen Apostles is the war with the Abyss; secondly, the Fallen Apostles have withdrawn from the stage of history in the future.

what happened? armistice? Impossible, I don’t see any possibility of reconciliation between the New Empire and the Fallen Apostles. There is not even normal communication between the two parties. So were all the fallen apostles killed by the future empire?

I totaled up the troops I had on hand. Think about the strength of the fallen apostle again - well, let's talk about the somewhat unlucky Harlan. The New Empire has tried its best to kill several armies of the fallen apostles, but so far we have not been able to remove this fallen emperor, and he is only one of the many emperors on the enemy, and he is probably not the strongest one. Now the balance between the new empire and the fallen apostles is still barely maintained by the checks and balances of the gods... I really don't think I can show off my power before Xiaoxue is born and develop the new empire to the point where the fallen apostles can be wiped out. Of course, if you want to say that a bunch of lunatics were crazy and mobilized the entire country to attack the star field and were destroyed, then it is possible...

Then there is only the last possibility: all the fallen apostles are extinguished during the void cataclysm.

They didn't make it through.

Theoretically, this is good news. At this time, I should discuss with my sister to go home and cook some delicious dishes to celebrate, but the Carlo brothers are very disturbing, so I gave up this interest.

I looked up at the deep night. This was the interior of the Imperial Admiral. The holographic device generated a fake sky on the steel sky. The twilight was picturesque, enough to make ordinary young artists who occasionally get sour - such as me, However, I was sore for a long time and couldn't think of anything to sigh about. Instead, I saw two ravens on night patrol flying past in a circle, looking as if they were carefree.

For the Xiling apostles who have evolved in the flames of war, there is nothing on the battlefield that needs to be lamented, including death in battle, it is just their daily life.

So I was full of sighs and couldn't find any place to express them, and finally gathered them into five words in my mind:

"Fucking war..."

Maybe there is something in the world that doesn't want me to sum up such a noble battle to save the world with three words: "f*ck". Just after these five words flashed through my mind, an urgent The communication suddenly broke into the highest spiritual link. This emergency communication came from the Capital World Command and was personally sent by Sandora. It took one second to make me jump several meters into the air:

"The fallen apostles are invading in large numbers. The enemy Emperor Harlan is personally marching to conquer the country. The border is in danger!!"

"What's wrong with Jun?" My sister came up to me with concern as soon as I landed. It seemed that she had not received this emergency message. I didn't have time to explain, so I just issued an order to Sivis immediately, ordering the Sixth Fleet and all retinues to stop the finishing work and return to the empire at full speed. Then the three of them took a deep breath, held their sister's hand, and said in a serious tone: "Those grandsons ransacked our house..."

sister:"?"

The fleet immediately stopped all missions and prepared to return to the empire at full speed. The only thing I could be happy about at this time was that I was able to repel the invading force of the fallen apostles with only the Sixth Fleet. Instead of bringing the other two legions to the front line as planned - otherwise Sandora would have to face a situation several times more severe than now. But according to the news from the capital world, even the main force of the imperial army is basically staying at home. The situation that Shandora is facing is also quite dangerous: the fallen emperor Harlan, who has had several confrontations with him, actually led the expedition in person this time, and brought with him a huge force that Shandora could even describe as "massive invasion" !

"Is the Fallen Apostle crazy?" When he heard that the empire was being raided, even Bingtis, a mentally disturbed guy, couldn't help but exclaimed. If the previous invasion of the far reaches of the empire by the fallen apostles can be explained as a misunderstanding caused by the super smugglers of the Fiyali Empire, then Harlan's behavior of personally leading an army to storm the empire's borders is simply unreasonable. The other party's behavior is really getting worse and worse. It’s getting more and more confusing. The thoughts of the fallen apostle are like the starry sky. This is a rhythm that you can see but cannot understand...

The fleet suddenly left the current universe en masse, which of course left the new guests we had just dragged back (no mistake) quite confused. While I was busy arranging the return of the servant army and remotely commanding the various servant armies in the empire to support the border, Phyllis suddenly received an urgent message: In fact, she had already requested communication for fifteen minutes, but because The peripheral channels were of low priority and I did not receive the message until the Royal Fleet was ready. As soon as the strange queen appeared on the communicator, she started shouting: "Hey, hey, hey! Emperor of Xiling, where are you going? What should we do!? You don't care?"

I almost forgot about this bunch of living treasures. When I looked at it, I saw that the three Fialli spacecraft had been abandoned alone in space as if they had been forgotten. The Civilization Community barge that originally towed them had received a wartime mission. So he left decisively.

These three ships no longer have the ability to sail across the world. It is certainly impossible for them to follow us back to the Empire, and I am absolutely worried about leaving them behind: there may be something hidden in the cargo holds of these merchant ships. What kind of treasure are you carrying? After thinking about it for a while, I came up with an idea: "Phyllis, do you mind going to the warehouse with us and the boat?"

Felice's face was full of questions: "Huh?"

"Forget it, there is no other way anyway - the flagship Gnaku. Clear the three medium-sized grids and put Fiyali's spaceship back!"

Phyllis continued to have questions on her face: "Huh?"

But she said "Ah" for a moment, and then she knew what I meant by putting it back. Several towing drones flew out from the lower end of the Imperial Admiral's vertical arm, locked the three Fialli merchant ships with three force fields, turned around, and flew towards the Imperial Admiral's Gnaku. . On the communicator, I heard a flurry of excitement on Phyllis' side, and then the strange Queen began to protest: "What are you doing! You can't do this! Small displacements also have the dignity of small displacements. ...Hey! At least stay steady...Ah! Warehouse! My stone! My baby! The gems from another world that I use to make money! Can't you wait until we open the inertial stabilization field?! "

I silently watched the chaotic scene displayed on the communicator screen. I couldn't help but remind: "Your adjutant just rolled off his seat..."

"It's okay, she's in good health - my rocks!!!"

I:"……"

Well, I didn’t expect that the inertial stabilization field of the Fiari merchant ship started so slowly: the function of this thing is to instantly anchor the internal space when the starship suddenly accelerates, decelerates, or changes course, to prevent acceleration from causing damage to people and items in the ship. Damage, generally civilizations that develop super-light-class spacecraft will master this technology. Phyllis's side was stunned, and then I realized that I had fallen into a big trap, because after the queen, who wanted money rather than life, pulled her lieutenant up from under the table, she was immediately ready to talk to me about compensation. : She thought she had lost a lot of valuable ore.

By the way, her adjutant was also beaten flat-chested.

...I don't know what her logic is. Anyway, I definitely don't have time to argue with this void vendor now, so I can only wave my hand quickly: "Okay, okay, you have the final say, wait for me to get what I have on hand." After you're done, can you please pack up all the goods on your ship? Can you please be quiet?"

Phyllis was satisfied and waited for her merchant ship to be placed in the cargo hold of the Imperial Admiral. This woman's nerves were really strong, even if she saw that the Gnaku passage of the Imperial Admiral was larger than her own spaceship. At that time, he just sighed: "Oh... do you often take other people's spaceships back?"

I find it difficult to explain to her the design ideas of Xiling Apostle's starship. For a group of people, they no longer need to consider the structural strength of the starship. They use coordinate-like drive technology to eliminate the so-called thrust-to-weight ratio, and they have also mastered the most advanced inertial stabilization field. For the technical Imperial scientists, the size of the spacecraft has never been an issue that needs to be considered. They have always piled all the crazy weapons together, and then considered how big a spaceship should be built to install them - the final result is Empire Manufacturing. These behemoths are several times or even dozens of times larger than the spaceships of ordinary civilizations.

By the way, it also created our peculiar custom of taking away damaged friendly spaceships in our pockets on the battlefield...

"Let that interstellar vendor and her men board the ship - arrange them in the ecological zone of the Imperial Admiral," I thought for a while and said to Xiao Xue beside me, "Any reason will do, such as helping them repair the spacecraft. Or something like that, take this opportunity to scan their warehouse and mark any suspicious items. The fallen apostles discovered something extraordinary, and they are all going crazy today..."
