Chapter 1,270 Supporting the Frontier

The appearance of the fallen apostles in the macro world is unexpected. This is completely inconsistent with their usual action patterns and active areas. According to the information we have now, the territory of the Fallen Apostles is basically located within the Broken Frontier of the Old Empire. They rarely move outside this range, because the mutated life forms of the Fallen Apostles cause them to be destroyed as long as they stay in the Order Universe for a long time. It is easy to expose that in the current situation where the Empire and Star Territory are joining forces and setting up Kabu sentries everywhere in the void, the fallen apostles also know how to restrain themselves.

Each member world of the macro world is basically far away from the active area of ​​​​the fallen apostles. Even those that are closer to the danger zone are also heavily guarded by the empire. It can be said that despite the huge size of the macro world system, they are the areas least susceptible to intrusion by fallen apostles.

But this time the enemy happened to appear, and appeared in a place far away from their daily active area.

Sivis has ordered the Sixth Army to dispatch two squadrons to that place for reinforcements. If the number of fallen apostles is as small as shown in the report, the two squadrons will be enough to cope with the situation, and it is more than enough. At the same time, we also contacted several local Macro World censors. What is more gratifying is that the situation in the local universe is still very stable. The activities of the fallen apostles outside the world barrier have not yet affected the balance within the universe. Although some constant disorder phenomena occur on the edge of the world barrier, the indigenous residents of those universes still know nothing about it. Those were three worlds with relatively low technological levels. The most advanced civilization had just completed its exploration of the universe and had not yet progressed to the point where it could detect the existence of the void and other worlds. This is more or less good news: ignorance is bliss, and they don't have to panic - as long as the fallen apostles haven't torn apart their world barrier.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty. Please... what can we do now? What countermeasures are there? Or preparations or something..." On the communicator, there was a middle-aged man wearing office clothes and slightly bald. Said a little nervously. He is the censor of one of the three worlds that issued the alarm, and he was also the first to issue the alarm. It can be said that he is a very cautious and alert "employee".

We all know that in fact, macroworld censors are basically natives of the local world, and whether they can become censors has nothing to do with their status in the local world, as long as they can complete the most basic tasks. And it is enough to be familiar with and abide by the regulations of the Space-Time Management Bureau. Many censors are like this one, an ordinary mortal, who may have accepted the transformation of imperial technology, and has many senior officials who are not aware of the power in the local world. equipment, but they still have to live their own lives and go to work. Take care of the family, go to school, have a date, etc... This is an office worker in front of me. He usually goes to work and writes reports and goes home to take his children to be with his wife. After the children fall asleep, he can secretly contact aliens to discuss world peace. Come on, a middle-aged uncle can also be the protagonist in a passionate story.

It must be the first time for this uncle to talk to such a high-level imperial leader - perhaps thanks to those fallen apostles - he is very nervous now. His forehead was already shiny.

"There is nothing you can do to help right now," Sandora said lightly, "You don't understand that the fallen apostles are not enemies that the prosecutors and local outposts can deal with. What they need is a real war confrontation... You Continue to be vigilant with your colleagues. Just report what happens outside the local world barrier to the Space-Time Management Bureau at any time. A group of reinforcements will arrive in your world in about three hours, and the commander of that force will contact you. Be careful to avoid ordinary people. I checked the information and found that you are an experienced examiner and have had several excellent mission records. You did a good job this time as well. Complete the mission well."

"Yes!! Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The slightly bald middle-aged man immediately said confidently. At this moment, he finally had the momentum of an empire employee, and then heard a faint female voice coming from the communicator: "Three Why are ghosts howling in the middle of the night! The child is sleeping! After the report, go take a shower and roll over to sleep. Tomorrow I will accompany you to save the world!"

I was happy when I heard this. After hearing this, it was most likely his wife, and she was an "insider". Considering the system of the Space-Time Administration, the prosecutor in front of me, who looked like a commoner, was still a husband and wife team. of?

"That's my wife..." the uncle said awkwardly, "She didn't know that she would have the opportunity to report directly to His Majesty today... Oh, I shouldn't have mentioned anything unrelated to work..."

I guess the grassroots employees would be so nervous if they were directly summoned by the group boss, but we wouldn’t care about this. On the contrary, I also feel that the honest-looking uncle in front of me is quite friendly. Normally, I have seen so many idol boys who save the world at the age of fourteen and dragon-slaying warriors who can defeat the devil in thirty minutes of poses. I really didn’t know that the middle-aged bald man in front of me, wearing a suit and tie and suffering from bronchitis, was also doing it. What does it feel like to be in the same situation as those protagonists? I always feel...

Once you accept this setting, it actually feels quite interesting, right?

After hanging up the communication with the local prosecutor, I also jumped out of the association of "a middle-aged bald man is a hot-blooded boy comic hero" and started to focus on the current business. Pandora and Viska had already gone to discuss the battle plan with Sivis. Although these two little lunatics never had any plans, they were imperial generals after all, and their enthusiasm for work at this time was unprecedentedly high. I looked at Miss Lin next to me: I would ask my sister if I was not sure about domestic matters, and I would go to Lin Xue if I was not sure about foreign matters. This is my good habit.

"Wait a minute," the eldest lady rubbed her eyebrows, "I just finished inspecting the spiritual network, and now I'm waiting for the CD."

"Dad, I'll do it. I'll do it." Xiaoxue finally found the value of her existence and switched to prophecy mode in an instant. Although her power is not mature enough compared to Lin Xue, the eldest lady is waiting for the skill CD. We also We can only wait and see how this half-baked prophet behaves.

After a while, Xiaoxue slowly opened her eyes, and a white light flashed through her eyes. She took a breath, as if the prediction result was not very optimistic.

"There are scenes of large-scale battles. If a war breaks out, the enemy will quickly send reinforcements. It seems that they will not let their small force be strangled by the empire. We'd better launch an attack on the enemy in several waves. The results can be expanded.”

Sandora nodded, "No matter how many of them there are, since they are here, they must fight back, otherwise it is not my style - Xiaoxue did a good job, now notify the Sixth Legion and the rest of the fleet to be on standby. If the fallen apostle Increase troops. We will pile more troops on their rear path."

It's a very Xiling-specific idea, and this is exactly what I mean. We can now fight head-on with the fallen apostles, as long as we can ensure that the foundation of the new empire is not shaken, which is not stable enough. And this battle will have another meaning: the empire will fight fiercely with the invaders on the edge of the macro world. We must win and then ensure that the empire’s absolute authority in the macro world is more stable.

The new empire may still not be as powerful as the fallen apostles, but we don't have to be as cautious as we did when we didn't even have a base at the beginning. If it is on the imperial border, we will accompany you in any large-scale war. No matter what the enemy's purpose is, now that he's here...

Then just stay.

Thanks to the high-speed jump function of the macroworld network, the reinforcements sent from the Shadow City arrived at their destination that day. The commander of the squadron contacted the local censor and received information that the fallen apostles were still in those worlds. Patrolling outside the barrier. Neither leaving nor attacking, but wandering around as if looking for something.

The second intelligence was not so optimistic: the enemy had discovered fleet movements from the empire. This is not surprising, after all, they are now attached to the world barrier of those three worlds, and the imperial fleet enters the corresponding universe in large numbers. As long as the fallen apostles were not blind, they should have seen it long ago - and we had no intention of acting secretly in the first place. Such large-scale military mobilization cannot be kept secret.

According to outpost intelligence. Now three Fallen Apostles' void reconnaissance ships have disappeared from the radar view of the frontline troops, while other enemy warships have gathered together in the void and have stopped moving.

The reconnaissance ships entered a highly concealed state, and the combat ships stopped wandering and began to concentrate. This was a provocative signal.

The enemy's message is clear: We know you are coming and we are ready.

If only the current batch of spaceships were detected, then the actions of the fallen apostles would be a bit too confident. Therefore, Xiaoxue's judgment was correct: after discovering the imperial army, the enemy did not choose to retreat to report safety, but directly attacked them from behind. Reinforcements were mobilized. Both sides also have the way of thinking of Xiling Apostle. In the face of war, the enemy has no intention of retreating.

It seemed that the two sides were about to come to blows, because twelve hours later, military information came from the macro world again: the reinforcements of the fallen apostles had arrived, and their number faintly exceeded the number of imperial troops sent to deploy their defenses.

When this information was delivered to us, Shandora and I happened to be at the headquarters. Although it was almost late at night outside and it was considered a time for everyone to rest on weekdays, we were still waiting here and prepared to deal with it. The military intelligence report was destined to come. Xiaoxue lay on the alloy conference table, her forehead resting on the back of her hands, her head dangling from side to side as she dozed off. She was the only child in the family who was allowed not to sleep at this time, because she claimed that she was sixteen years old. He is already an official officer. Now looking at this girl dozing off, I have a little doubt about this statement.

As an imperial general, Pandora has to go to bed before ten o'clock in the evening - of course, a large part of the reason for this is that the 1.2 meter little war maniac has no tactical use at all. If she doesn't sleep, then she will be left. I was having such a silly time holding my precious little baby.

Shandora looked at the information in front of her and took two seconds to make a decision: one and a half seconds was because she was swallowing the small cake as a midnight snack: "The Sixth Army can go on the road and continue to increase troops until the war begins. Second The legion and the first legion are on standby. I have a hunch that this battle will not be small. Now we urgently need a battle of this scale to find out the current combat effectiveness and legion size of the fallen apostles. It has been a long time since we have fought with those This guy is facing a big war, which is not a good thing for war civilization, and it can easily lead to a black eye."

After saying that, Sandora threw the second snack into her mouth: "Think about it, since the last head-on war with the fallen apostles, the new empire has added more than a dozen directly governed worlds, and the macro world has expanded by 100%. Three. And we also formed a new mysterious side legion, and made a hybrid adaptation of six legions at the same time. We have all made such great progress. What will happen to the fallen apostles?"

So we need a war. This is the war race, progress, testing progress, all based on war.

"I think we have to go there in person now," I looked at the simulated view representing the macro-world border. The three warning points above had turned into violently flashing red lights. Next to each warning point were marked the level of military conflict and possible threats. Spread range, more Imperial warships are on the way. There is going to be a war at the farthest border of the empire, and the scale may reach a level that requires us to take action personally. "And I think it's time for those legal units to show up."

This is not a whim. As early as when Alleria began to use those ancient royal starships to form the first regular legion on the mysterious side, I had the idea of ​​​​putting mysterious power into the battlefield in the next war. idea. There are three reasons for this: First. We can't hide the power of the mysterious side forever. The fallen apostles also have their own intelligence network. Their investigation and harassment of the empire's borders have never stopped. Even now, perhaps the empire is also conducting research on the mysterious side. It caught their attention. The other party was just not sure how far the new empire had progressed in this regard. Perhaps they still think that they have the upper hand as before. Second, any army is meant to be used for fighting, not for maintenance - this is especially true for war races. Now that the power of the mysterious side has begun to take shape, it should be brought out to at least test their power on the actual battlefield. We cannot hide them like treasures just because this part of our combat power is precious. I want to wait until this army is cheap before going to the battlefield. I estimate that the first person who has this idea will be shot in turn by the officers on the mysterious side. This is simply an insult that goes deep into their souls. Probably second only to scolding Sandora and I in front of them. third……

I haven’t thought about the third one yet. I just mentioned three points just because it’s very impressive. Well, that’s it.

"...Well, now it seems that this is an unavoidable situation. It is better to take this opportunity to test their strength." Sandora pondered for a while and nodded. "The Sixth Army has completed the mixing. Now they have three One-third of the soldiers are spellcasters, and the mothership also carries a large number of small battleships from the mysterious side. If these units suddenly appear in the late stages of the battle, it will definitely be enough for the fallen apostle. Okay, I agree. But this time I I can’t go to the battlefield with you.”

Sandora said with a little regret. "I'm very worried that the fallen apostles will take advantage of the main force of the imperial army to be transferred to the distant frontier and launch a surprise attack on the mainland. They are more cunning than a day or two."

In the end, our personnel configuration is like this: Sandora and Lin Xue will stay at home, and my sister, Xiaoxue, and I will go with the follow-up troops of the Sixth Fleet to support the distant frontier, and will also bring with them including the Imperial Admiral. Most of the Royal Fleet, including the USS. Bring a prophet with you on both sides, thus minimizing the chance of accidents. As for Qianqian - she was awkward for a long time, but finally had to stay with Shandora (and of course all the kids in the family, and Lilina). Although this girl is used to following me around all day, Lin Xue had a vague prophecy this time, which showed that Qian Qian's stay in the empire would have unexpected effects.

... Speaking of which, I'm really not used to not taking Qian Qian with me when I go out. Has this girl become my battle baby?

When we set off with the fleet, several additional combat forces also volunteered to join us. These guys did not exceed our expectations at all: a group of five protoss snipers.

These guys have been bored at home for a long time, and Bingtis has just been released from the hell of his aunt. These guys with excess energy urgently need a place to stretch their muscles, so the gang headed by Bingtis ignored the fleet commander. , that is, my opinion, boarded the Imperial Admiral with great swagger. Coupled with the fact that Ding Dong has almost become a bundled piece of equipment in my pocket, this staffing...

Forget it, the staffing configuration every time is basically the same as the random one.

I came to the officer's rest area of ​​the Imperial Admiral. It is adjacent to the command center and is a place for senior officers to rest. I have my own room here. It's almost time to rest now. I will spend the night on the ship and probably start tomorrow. Can face off against the fallen apostles. The child Xiaoxue was extremely excited as soon as she got on the spaceship. Now that it is getting late, she is still jumping up and down in the command center doing "military guidance". She no longer looks like she was dozing off in the Shadow City just now. . Of course, it cannot be said that the child is causing trouble. As a prophet, she does have the responsibility to give instructions before every step of action. And no matter what, she has received elite education and is a real commander, even She is more professional than her father, so let her be busy.

I threw myself on the big bed in the habitation module. Thanks to the artificial gravity and simulated environment, at least from a sensory perspective, sleeping here was no different from my bedroom at home.

Except that the cold silver-gray metal cabin around it is a bit uncomfortable.

The voice of the shipboard host rang out from the broadcast system in the cabin: "The spacecraft has passed through the shadow space barrier... left the order layer... left the world barrier... and entered the void navigation mode. The current host is conducting automatic navigation."

"Reduce the broadcast frequency by two levels. I'm going to take a rest." I casually said to the cabin management system, and the lights in the room slowly dimmed.

She took out the half-asleep Ding Dong from her pocket and placed it in the small biscuit box specially prepared for her by the bedside. However, this guy would probably still get into the lampshade habitually in the middle of the night... Well, no matter .

Soon, I felt sleepy.

A voice came from a very far away place, but it seemed to ring directly in his mind.

"Have you seen... the door I left?" (To be continued. 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.)
