Chapter 1,471 Tossing
Although the Gods are also monitoring the movement of the fallen apostles, after all, it is not easy to conduct long-range detection in the void, and the abyss area does not border the star field, so the empire is often the first to learn about the movements of the fallen apostles— —For example now.
Father God saw the change in the expression on my face and immediately guessed what was going on: "What? Is there something wrong in my hometown?"
"There seems to be some movement over there from the Fallen Apostles. This time it's coming to the Empire District." I stood up and floated toward the exit. "It seems I have to go back early this time."
Father God and I quickly left the "base" of the God Realm, and then met Bingtis who came over after hearing the news in the central square of the Brilliant Divine Court. It looked like Lilina, who had just woken up and was wandering outside, and Lilina, who had just woken up and was wandering outside. Ding Dong came out of the Temple of the Supreme Life Goddess. Of course, Father Bing and Mother Bing were also with them.
As soon as Bingtis saw me, he pounced on me like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, grabbed my arm and shook me hard: "Chen! Take me away quickly!"
I was panicking, but when I was frightened by Sister Bing's big movement, I forgot about my panic. I looked at Father and Mother Bing behind her, and then at the female gangster with a miserable look on her face, and a smile appeared on her face. Layer sweating: "Don't you need to be so exaggerated? Those are your parents..."
"I would rather I was the one who bought the furniture as a gift from them..." Bingtis looked miserable, "I have been nagging all night."
Father Bing and Mother Bing were still laughing when they saw what happened to their daughter. The faces of the old couple looked happy. Mother Bing even poked Father Bing's arm and muttered: "I told you that these two have something to do with each other." Men, you see, that girl really showed her true feelings under pressure..."
Father Bing nodded in agreement, while Bingtis was stunned and finally jumped up: "I can't live this life! Mom and dad, you are using the mentality of being a spy to deal with your daughter - I really want you to buy furniture for me. Of?"
I first put Bingtis aside and let her continue to make trouble with her parents, while I turned around and walked towards Lilina. This black lolita came here purely on a public trip. Since yesterday, she has been wandering around several temples in the Brilliant Court. Because of Father God’s tacit approval, no one stopped her. As a result, I didn’t see this guy all night. Figure, I don’t know where she spent the night yesterday.
"We have to go back early." I patted Lilina on the head, "The fallen apostles are making moves again, and this time the target seems to be the Empire District. Are these guys holding a death-defying contest or something, for fear that the Empire and the Gods won't Are you joining forces to deal with them... By the way, where did you go last night?"
Lilina rubbed her eyes, and then wiped her face on my pants: "I finally came out for a visit. I'm going to the Dark Temple."
I grabbed the girl's ear and said, "You, a member of the Life God Department, are going to visit the Dark Temple to inspect it. Who will believe it! You might as well say you are going to the Light Temple. I can at least believe that you are going to study photosynthesis." "
Lilina was jumping up and down while I pulled her ears: "Boss Mingjian, boss Mingjian! I learned cooking in the past, and I heard that the Dark God is a good craftsman..."
Me: "...You might as well say that you are just there to join in the fun!"
Fortunately, I have important matters at hand right now, and I don't have time to suppress this fake lolita, otherwise her behavior of just coming over and not doing anything serious would be enough to put her in the basket for a long time. I pinched Lilina's cheek, caught Dingdang flying towards me and stuffed it into my pocket. Then I raised my head and looked in the direction of Father's Temple: "There is one less person here. What's up with Xiaodeng?" Not coming out? I've been calling her for a long time."
When they said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived, the little girl ran out from the door of the temple as soon as she finished speaking... It seemed that she didn't run out, but jumped out on a little black cat. The girl was still riding on Cindia's back, The usually cold face now had a rare look of joy. Cyndia, who had transformed into a black cat form, was carrying the little doll girl on her back and flying all the way here. The two naughty children were now a combination. However, this combination is still a bit uncoordinated: no matter how small the doll is, she is still more than 90 centimeters tall. Even when she sits down, she is bigger than the little black cat that Cyndia transformed into, and she is riding on the black cat. The long gothic dress drooped down and almost completely covered Cyndia. Only the little cat's head was exposed. So when I looked at it from a distance, at first glance I almost thought the little doll was sliding on the ground with its legs crossed. She had a stuffed cat toy hanging from her skirt…
The combination of two naughty children had already rushed forward in the blink of an eye. I stepped forward and grabbed the back collar of the little doll, picked her up and held her in my arms: "Didn't you say you can't bully the little sister?"
The little black cat on the ground rolled on the spot and turned into a human shape. Its face was as happy as the little doll: "It's not bullying, it's not bullying - I think it's quite fun. Jiadi always sleeps in in the morning. At this time There’s always no one to play with.”
The little doll cleverly climbed onto my shoulder along the pole, and then discovered that Uncle Kuvain was not far away, so he quickly changed his shoulder to the farther side. Finally, he held my head and shook it vigorously: "Idiot. Are you leaving so soon? You've only been here for two days!"
I patted the little girl's leg with some surprise: "Aren't you usually not interested in anything? Why did you change your gender this time?"
The little doll pointed awkwardly at Cyndia: "This guy is really interesting. Why haven't I noticed it before..."
"Normally, few people can play with Cyndia." Father God smiled gently at the side, "Except for Jiadi, there are no children like Cyndia in the Brilliant Palace. I really didn't expect this. The two little guys have quite the same temperament.”
I shrugged my shoulders like I was in the late stage of Parkinson's disease (there was a little doll sitting on the other shoulder, and I didn't dare to move): "There are not many people who can play with this girl. Her temper is full of thorns, and she doesn't dare to move." I thought I finally found a playmate today." Then I tilted my head slightly and asked the little girl on my shoulder: "How about you stay? Anyway, the God Realm and the Shadow Space are directly connected, and the space door is opened once to recharge and prepare. Give it a little time, and then you can go home by yourself."
The little doll really thought about it seriously for a while, then pulled my hair and shook his head: "No."
I noticed that she said "can't" instead of "unwilling". Knowing that this little guy actually has a delicate mind, I suddenly became curious: "What's not possible?"
"This portal connects the capital and the God Realm. It is a special passage for performing official duties. You cannot just open the door just for fun," the little doll said seriously, "I heard Xiaoxue said that one will be built in the future. I will use the more convenient public access until then.”
I was suddenly very surprised and turned my head to look at the little guy on my shoulder: "...When did you become so sensible?!"
I felt bad as soon as I said this. Sure enough, the little girl on my shoulder suddenly became furious. She hugged my head and pulled it out hard. Her voice was so loud that the whole square could hear: "Why am I so ignorant! Why am I so ignorant! I'm so ignorant. What's wrong!"
I grabbed the puppet girl Nian’s arm and yelled, “The meaning of your last sentence has completely changed.”
The little puppet pondered the last sentence and continued to pull my head: "Why do you care about grammar! Why do you care about grammar! Why do you care about grammar!"
This little girl's three-part complaint is indeed getting better and better.
It took me a long time to calm down the little girl on my shoulder. I thought to myself that everyone has grown up in recent years. The bad-tempered doll who was willful and reckless now has become more understanding. Then I raised my head and said to Father God in embarrassment. Xiaoxiao: "Have a laugh."
Father God happily watched us making noise there, and nodded repeatedly with an "I understand" expression on his face: "It's okay. I think of Jiadi when she was a child... That's it, you go back to deal with your own affairs first, if the situation If it's serious, please notify us immediately. If the fallen apostle really plans to confront us head-on now... then I'm afraid we'll have to take action in advance even if we lose money."
I glanced at Father God: "Logically speaking, they shouldn't seek death like this... In short, you should prepare first. I know that the expedition cannot be delayed, but if the situation really worsens, you should also be mentally prepared: those crazy people never act like this." There is no logic."
"Of course I understand." Father God nodded. At the same time, the teleportation gate in the square was also debugged, opening a direct passage to the Shadow City. I took Bingtis, who had just been scolded by his parents again, and now had a bitter look on his face, and picked up Lilina and clamped it under his arm, and walked in like a human-shaped coat rack. Portal.
As expected, Shandora had already led people to wait in the square outside the World Tree Temple. As soon as I came out, I saw her and Sivis standing side by side not far away. Behind her were her elder sisters and many commanders. Senior military officers and, of course, others at home. I took off the two little girls hanging on my body and put them on the ground, and walked quickly to Sandora: "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure yet whether it's an enemy attack or not. The movements of the fallen apostle are very, very weird." The expression on Sandora's face was something I had never seen before. It was a little serious and a little confused, but more of it turned out to be He couldn't laugh or cry, "They seemed... to have convulsions."
"Convulsion?" This was the first time I saw Shandora's face look dumbfounded when talking about such a serious topic, "What kind of convulsion method? Are they doing a figure eight dance to attack?"
"Can't you bear to stop complaining about such a serious matter?" Lin Xuehu walked over from the side angrily and gave me a small punch, "The fallen apostle is having convulsions, and some of the future clips I saw are also having convulsions. This time The situation seems to be related to something with a huge time span. In short, it is impossible to predict accurately. Are you not tired? If you are not, we will go directly to the headquarters. You will know what is going on when you see for yourself. "
Before I could say anything, Bingtis stretched out his arms and yelled: "I'm tired, I'm tired. I'm exhausted from the fatigue of the carriage and horse. It's a long journey from the God Realm to here, can you..."
"I'm trapped and exhausted," I turned my head and glared at Bingtis, "It took a total of three and a half seconds to teleport here, and three of those seconds were wasted because you had to fix your hair at the door. Come here quickly, don't forget You are also an imperial officer in name only."
"This guy has the reputation of being a clan leader, but I actually sold myself to the empire." Bingtis muttered, but he still followed the army honestly.
Anweina took the little doll back home first, and the group quickly arrived at the headquarters.
In the largest combat conference room, everything is ready: senior staff officers and officers above the lieutenant general level who are on standby in the Shadow City are all present. Pao Pao serves as the server host of the combat conference and provides online data support in person. Each seat on the multiple circular conference table Small holographic devices were prepared in front of them, which displayed complex charts and visual color-coded diagrams of the void. We waited until everyone was in place before Sandora nodded to Sivis standing in the center of the room: "Tell me the general situation first."
Sivis activated the holographic device located in the center of the room, and a large picture of floating color blocks immediately appeared in mid-air: This is a schematic diagram of the void pattern. I have seen it many times, but it cannot truly describe it. The shape of the void (because the void has no shape at all), but it is still very convenient to use it to visualize the pattern of the void.
"This is the Empire Zone," Sivis pointed to the light blue area on the diagram, and then pointed to the large dark red patches outside the light blue area and the light golden area slightly further away. "This is the abyss area, and finally this is the God Realm. This diagram is drawn based on the latest updated void scan. Except for some slight deviations in individual universes, it is basically quite accurate."
Then the picture on the holographic projection flashed, and the section closest to the Empire District and the Abyssal District was enlarged, and a large number of dense footnotes and small color marks appeared. Sivis pointed to the part in the Abyssal District: "This It was the first abnormal gathering that the frontline troops of the Abyss Independent Regiment risked their lives to scan, and a fleet of fallen apostles of about four to six legions suddenly gathered in the border area."
I leaned forward and said, "We are surrounded by heavy troops. Isn't this just preparation for war?"
"I thought so at first," Sandora shook her head beside her, "but just as I was about to mobilize the troops to prepare for the battle, the enemy suddenly ran to other places."
My voice couldn't help but rise: "Run somewhere else?"
"The specific situation has yet to be ascertained," Sivis explained. "Our intelligence forces cannot get too close to the abyss. Therefore, even with the assistance of the Garden of Death system, it is difficult for them to fully see what is happening in the abyss. . Now it can only be determined that this group of enemy troops gathered at the border suddenly moved to... multiple different information deviation directions. At first, it was still certain that they were going to withdraw to the hinterland of the abyss area, but soon the signals of these fleets scattered. Come on, there’s chaos.”
Movement in the void is measured by "information drift". Modifying its own information index and approaching other ordered targets by increasing the similarity of information features between itself and the destination is what "moving" in the void means. The only way. The information offset can be regarded as the "moving distance", while the information offset direction is a bit more complicated. It actually has nothing to do with the real "direction". This is a figurative statement, and it is only true if there is a frame of reference. If the target's jump in the void is a gregarious behavior (i.e. it and all units that are jumping at the same time are heading towards the same target), then it does not have any "information offset direction".
The above concepts are to make it easier to understand what Sivis said - of course I guess many people will be even more dizzy after seeing them.
The fleet of fallen apostles gathered together inexplicably, and then dispersed inexplicably. Such unusual behavior naturally reminded people of their violent attack on the territory of the Gods a few days ago - the common denominator was that they were mentally disturbed.
"Could it be that the action plan was changed just before the war started, and that it was too serious to seek death, so it was withdrawn?" My sister tried to express her thoughts, but Sandora did not agree very much: "It is unlikely. . Let’s not talk about whether a battle plan of this scale can be such a joke. Even if they really withdraw their troops, they shouldn’t make it so messy. Harlan, you have experience. Tell me what you think. This time, the troops were suddenly assembled and suddenly withdrawn. what is going on?"
Harlan is one of the three real emperors who are doing things in the empire (it goes without saying who are the ones who are not doing things and those who are unable to do things, right?). Now he is taking on more and more important tasks. In addition to leading the imperial troops on the Abyss side, building the Abyss Independent Regiment, and assisting all research projects related to the Abyss and the Fallen Apostles, he is also responsible for serving as the most senior advisor to the Fallen Apostles. As the top adviser on various military operations in the Abyss, if there is any weird behavior on the part of the fallen apostles, it is definitely wisest to consult Harlan.
But this time, even the expression on Harlan's face was extremely confused: "To be honest, I am really confused this time... I can't figure out what they want to do, and I can't remember which emperor there is in the Abyss Empire. He acted in such an inconsistent style. First of all, I can confirm that this is definitely not a normal military movement: there was no problem with the initial army gathering, but in the later period, when the army retreated, it was obviously messy. Several large units retreated cross-wise, and some units may even In the process of retreating to the interior, they got mixed up. Not to mention the Xiling apostles, even the commanders of ordinary races shouldn't make the situation like this, right? And according to the telemetry information sent back by the frontline investigators, there are two small groups I ran back and forth in the border area several times. It was neither a patrol nor a military purpose. It was just a headless fly."
Xiaoxue also sat on the officer's seat in the name of "more or less a senior commander in the future." At this time, she muttered: "Just at this operation site, the person in charge of the dispatch will be shot in the military court for two weeks. .”
I glanced at Xiao Xue on the officer's bench, who stuck out her tongue far away. I glanced at Lin Xue, who was sitting a seat next to me, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on with these armies?" Can’t you see clearly?”
"This interference is too strong, don't expect it," Lin Xue spread her hands, "You can't even look across the void. If I can see this, then what's the use of the Garden of Death?"
"Besides this gathering and withdrawal, have the fallen apostles done anything weird?" I looked up at Sivis.
"Yes," Sivis nodded vigorously, "They repeated the process thirty minutes later..."
I was stunned for a moment, and it took me a long time to curse: "Holy crap! Are you treating us like the Spring Festival?" (To be continued.
