Xiling Empire

Chapter 1,320 The Siege and Harlan’s Anomalies

Putting aside his previous performances, Harlan's recent performance has actually given us an inexplicable feeling. This feeling arose from the day when he brazenly attacked the border of the empire and nearly wiped out the entire army. Today, I feel it again. sense of dissonance.

His behavior is so unbecoming of a guy with clear logic and clear goals. He attacks when we least expect it, lies dormant when we least expect it, and suddenly pops up when in theory he will no longer "reveal" his head. He robbed the Fialli merchant ship that was used as a bait - his series of actions had a "sense of rhythmic disorder", as if he was sleepwalking. The boat used as a bait has been wandering in the far reaches for three full days. It stands to reason that its identity as a bait has already aroused doubts at this time. It would be okay if Harlan was lifted out two days ago, but He happened to come out when he could already see the trap at a glance...

When we received the intelligence from the far frontier, Sandora and I immediately ordered the entire army to attack and block the movement of Haran's remaining troops. However, after issuing the order, we still couldn't help but have doubts in this regard. Sandora again I remembered the strange decline in combat effectiveness of the fallen apostles during the border battle that day, and I also thought of Harlan's convulsive military operations. Finally, we came to a conclusion: no matter what, we must find a way to capture the madman alive this time, and we must understand him. What part of the brain is wrong...

Sivis rushed to the far frontier with the large army a few days ago. She personally directed the interception battle against Harlan. Now she has led the previously arranged ambush force to surround the target world layer by layer and is reporting to us. The situation on the front line - Shandora and I were still at home at this time. Shandora had already considered giving up this trapping plan, but now it seems that we will have to set off soon: we have to deal with a hopeless enemy. Being the Ling Emperor is not an easy task, and there is no guarantee that the elite Sivis army will not have accidents, so Sandora and I have to go and take charge personally. In addition, we are also considering capturing Harlan alive, so the ordinary army may not be able to handle such a task.

Considering the "distance" between Far Frontier and the capital of the empire, Sandora and I will have to leave soon. [

"The decoy sent out an attack signal twenty minutes ago." On the holographic projection in the center of the living room, Sivis, in straight military uniform, said seriously. Behind her was the glorious dome of the command hall of the Imperial Admiral. "The attack process was very complicated. Short, lasting less than two seconds, the equipment on the decoy detected that the enemy was indeed the remnants of Harlan. As expected, the enemy did not destroy the ship. Instead, they were trying to capture it - now the decoy has been The remnants of Harlan have been brought to the main material plane, and we have surrounded this place layer by layer."

"Does he have any signs of breaking out?" Sandora asked with a frown. Next to her were all the dolls in the family: These little guys haven't seen us having a strategic meeting at home for a long time. They know that this is going to be a war again. So they all showed very curious looks. Of course, they are very quiet. They even tried to sit up straight like the imperial soldiers they had seen: these little guys who grew up in a special environment, although they were usually called "naughty kids" by me several times, they showed unusual maturity in the current situation. Be careful, before the war came, they were much more sensible than I thought.

"No, this is also puzzling," Sivis said with confusion on his face. "Theoretically, after Harlan dragged the spacecraft back to his lair, he should have discovered that he had been deceived, but they have not made any movement so far. Our army followed the last tracking signal sent by the bait and found this world. At the world barrier We have found traces of the abyssal fleet passing through, so we are sure that the enemy forces are all huddled here, and based on the quality of the enemy's royal fleet, I believe that Harlan has noticed that the imperial army is approaching - but they have no signs of breaking out."

Shandora was not surprised at all: "Maybe they know the breakout hope and are preparing to fight back, or maybe Harlan's brain is short-circuiting again - in short, you continue to place disruptors on the world barrier. In addition, speed up in the void. Establish a relay station, and when the power of the Garden of Death is spread, they will truly be unable to escape."

"Aren't you going to launch a general attack now, Your Majesty?" Sivis asked in surprise.

"There's no rush. To deal with that kind of enemy, be sure to make sure nothing goes wrong." Sandora stood up, "release the probe first. Then send a scout team to find out the situation in that universe and Harlan's general situation. Wait for us Once we arrive, prepare for the general attack."

Finally, before ending the communication. I also specially told Sivis: "Don't rush in. I always feel that Harlan's head is not normal. An emperor is really going to have a fit. I'm afraid you can't control him. Sandora and I are like this." It’s over.”

"My head is not right..." Sivis was stunned for a moment, then silently saluted and ended the communication.

"Travel lightly and simply, if we use the fastest shuttle, we will set off after lunch and arrive at the front line before dinner." Sandora looked at the time and made a meal-based action schedule according to her style.

I think she is in a good mood now, a little excited, but more expectant and happy - I can understand this mood, because I am similar. Although Harlan is powerful, this enemy is already at the end of its tether. He is the most destructive enemy we have ever encountered since the founding of the new empire, and now this enemy has been "forced" to a dead end. This is obviously very good. , so there was an atmosphere of fighting spirit and positive energy between Sandora and I.

But the rest of the family seemed a little unhappy. Ever since I hung up the phone, the little doll has been trying to pull out my head: she seems to be in a very unhappy mood now.

Of course I know the reason for this, and this is also a difficult situation: my whole day of traveling here and there is what the little doll is most dissatisfied with. This girl looks eccentric, cold and distant, but she actually belongs to The kind of person who becomes very dependent on others as soon as he becomes defensive. Although she never admitted it, Sandora once said this to me:

"If there's anything in the world that can conditionally convince that little girl, it's your words."

Yes, this is an awkward kid who has a hard mouth and a soft heart, and is obviously very clingy but insists on pretending to be arrogant. She hopes that I will not run around outside for 300 days a year, but she will never say it so clearly: She Will try to bite people or do other pranks that make people's heads turn...

I took some effort to remove the little girl from my shoulders. Those slender but extremely strong little arms strangled my neck and turned around. I held her face and said, "Be obedient and wait at home. This is This war will be over soon. Harlan doesn’t have many troops left.”

"What about next time?" the doll girl said coldly, with a completely angry look on her face.

"Chen, I have a suggestion for you, take her with you."

While I was thinking about how to get the little girl to stay at home as usual, Bingtis's voice suddenly came from the mental connection, and what the female gangster said surprised me.

"It's crazy." The expression on my face didn't change, but I quickly replied during my mental connection. "This is a war with the fallen emperor. It is a high-risk war. This girl has no fighting ability..." [

"There will be no low-risk wars that require you to personally take action in the future." Bingtis didn't seem to be acting on a whim. She was explaining her thoughts seriously, "You don't understand the child's thoughts... Look and This little girl’s sisters together. You get the idea.”

I was stunned and looked around at the group of little girls - excluding the Pandora sisters, Bubbles and Lilina, the four special elements who could not be classified as "children". I don't see anything different from the other minifigures.

Bingtis sighed and pointed out one by one in the spiritual connection: "Little Bubble will grow into a mature host sooner or later. Even if her defects cause slow development, her final form will be the same as Bubble; Medivh , she is already a powerful crow god. Besides some strange problems, her mind and body are close to those of an adult, and she can go to the battlefield with you at any time; Xiaoxue... Of course she also has her filial son, but she will He grew up quickly into a literary network and went to the front line as an official officer of the Royal Fleet at the age of fifteen. These are your children or people who can be regarded as your children, and they are also the sisters of the little doll girl, but they are destined now I will become a member who can fight with you, and I have gone on many expeditions with you. Many times more than the little girl in your arms. Your doll daughter has a sense of crisis, and you have never realized it."

I reacted immediately.

The idea that "I am the most useless among the children" must have begun to sprout in the little doll's mind, because the future achievements of her sisters have already been demonstrated at present, but only she seems to not see any possible achievements. The hope of becoming more “useful”.

It seems that in many stories about palace battles, the descendants of the royal family will fight to the death because of their respective merits and talents. The descendants of the royal family who lack strength will fall into a huge sense of crisis. I certainly don’t think that the naughty children in my family are happy all day long. There will be time to do that noisy thing. But this does not mean that they cannot have a sense of crisis related to it, especially for a competitive and a little aloof character like Little Doll, when the sisters around her all act as commanders. Or when the gods became active, she was still a child playing around at home. She definitely couldn't accept it.

I have never thought about this, not because I don't care about this girl, but because I have never associated my daughter with the word "prominent military exploits and a bright future". In my mind, they should be worried about the whole situation. I was just playing around all day long. I never thought about letting these baby bumps follow me into battle. Isn't there such a saying? In the eyes of parents, children will always be children, even if you have made hundreds of thousands of military achievements, robbed hundreds of cities, and wore golden armor. You have to stand there and listen when your parents tell you about how you wet the bed when you were a child: because parents don’t pay attention to how capable their children are, their favorite saying is always Yes: The child is still young!

I mean, isn't it a bit sad that I have such old feelings at such a young age?

Look at Xiaoxue, her military literacy and various high-tech professional knowledge are probably better than mine, but 90% of the time I still think she is just an ignorant naughty child, which fully explains Problem.

Thinking of this, I hugged the little doll girl and put it on my shoulders: "I'll take you with me this time."

Sister immediately cast a worried look at me. Obviously she felt that the battlefield was dangerous and it was not a wise move for the little doll to follow rashly. However, I waved my hand to her: "Don't worry, I won't be able to protect such a little doll." Guys, and she should see the world once in a while, everyone in the empire has a military background. The last time she went to the battlefield was two years ago."

Shandora nodded in agreement: "Indeed, members of the royal family cannot evade military duties, but this child is special and has not been counted as an official citizen of the empire."

Actually, although I decided to bring a small lamp. But in the final analysis, I just want to make the little girl happy. I really don’t think this girl can be of any use on the battlefield: on the battlefield of the gods that is full of out-of-standards, her combat power really has no sense of presence, and Obviously she has never learned how to march and fight, let alone interstellar strategy. Of course, she is not a scientist and cannot be a super soldier. You can’t be a staff officer, and you don’t understand scientific research...

Well, I suddenly understand the depression in the little doll’s heart.

"Eat the food one bite at a time..." Bingtis seemed to be able to think of my thoughts. She squinted and said, but soon she saw Sandora looking through the autumn water towards the kitchen, so she changed her mind instantly. "Well, we have to walk step by step. As the head of a country, you can't keep your heir in a greenhouse forever, right?"

When Bingtis said the words "heir", I was instantly excited. I usually never noticed that I could already use the word "heir" to address my children: I feel like these three words are all used in palace fighting dramas. What happened to those royal relatives whose brains could be knocked out has nothing to do with my family, which drinks soy milk, eats deep-fried dough sticks, and buys discounted eggs while bargaining. But now that I think about it...it's so touching!

The first thing I thought of was that famous saying: One day. My reign will reach its end, and you will be crowned...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around. Little Bubble was pulling on Jill's clothes and asking for toys. Xiaoxue was lying on the sofa reading comics and smiling like a fool. The little doll was counting my hair. If Little Crow If you count it as one, she is feeding her palm-sized schizoites with cabbage. And he squatted on the coffee table without correction.

I think I should try my best to live. The prospect of my heir is probably a bit bleaker than Terenas...

So the little doll was happily allowed to set off with the adults: she regarded going out to fight as a happy thing, and I don't know if this mentality is a problem. Of course, the consequence of this is that all the small ones have a reason to follow. I think Bingtis's view that "the heirs need to train, and sooner or later they will go to the battlefield like Xiaoxue" is very reasonable, so I can only agree to them all, but while agreeing. Shandora, my sister, and I made a serious statement to the little guys:

War is serious and dangerous. It is not a fun trip or children's play. This war, in particular, must be treated with a solemn attitude.

Later, I found out that this was almost a piece of nonsense: Xiaopao Pao was a professional soldier of Xiling Apostle at heart, and she was like a mirror in her heart; although Xiao Crow was still young, she grew up rapidly as the Crow God, and in Bingtis and Lily Under the guidance of Na, she has understood the meaning of responsibility and dedication; Needless to say, Xiaoxue has a military background; even if she is a little doll, she has fought with us, and the life she lived before coming to this home is nothing like it. Peace...[

These kids are awesome!

This time Lin Xue is responsible for staying behind to look after the house. She mainly wants to respond to the calls of her parents at any time, because the eldest lady has been away from home for a long time this year. I am afraid that this girl will not be able to go out with us for a long time in the recent period, except for In addition to her, almost everyone in the family, including my elder sisters, was dispatched this time, and we brought all the children with us as never before. According to Bingtis, we can't call children when we are on the battlefield. We should call them "heirs who have received experience." "I can't remember the last time I led this group of boys when I went out to fight.

Because the army is already in place in the far frontier, we save the time of mobilizing the army. It only takes a few hours for a group of people to arrive in the far frontier with a light car. According to Sandora's timetable, we set off after lunch , met Sivis an hour before dinner.

Can we not complain about Sandora's behavior of using meal points as a timetable?

When we arrived, the elite troops led by Sivis were still besieging the enemy at the critical point of order in the world barrier. They followed Sandora's order to stand still here and sent out several waves of reconnaissance troops. Now that the world has been blocked, the jump information of the world barrier is completely encrypted: this operation is like transferring a small program to a folder, and then putting the folder into a sandbox environment Isolated, unless the sandbox is released, the programs in the folder cannot escape. Harlan is the virus program trapped in the folder.

The engineering fleet has built a continuous order field generator on the side of the critical point of order closer to the void. It is like the void node of the Gods, providing us with the conditions to establish a base in the void environment. Now A relay base station is being quickly established. Its function is to transmit and amplify the signal from the Garden of Death. After this base station is operational, the world where Harlan hides will be more completely isolated: it is equivalent to the virus program being It is as safe as physically isolated to another storage.

"How is the situation? Harlan still hasn't tried to break out." As soon as Sandora saw Sivis, she immediately wanted to understand the current situation here. The latter's expression seemed to us to be very tangled:

"Your Majesty, the situation seems a little wrong... Not only did Harlan not try to break out, he did not even establish a resistance position in the world. They... hid in deep space, and we are looking for them. And there is something wrong with this universe..." ( To be continued.
