Chapter 780 Your Former Army

(Sure enough, *** is only available if you ask for it. I will continue to ask for votes today. Don’t forget anything you say this month!!)

"Mist" is the outermost planet of the Mobrado galaxy and the largest planet in this star system. It is a non-solid planet with an extremely high-mass core about the same size as the Earth, millions of kilometers of liquid nitrogen-helium-hydrogen oceans, and an "atmosphere" nearly 20,000 kilometers thick. The largest celestial body outside of Brador's Sun, it was also the last planet to be investigated by the empire's reconnaissance force sent to this star system.

We once thought that there would not be too many ancient ruins on the Misty Planet. After all, a non-solid planet with only gas and an "ocean" lacked the necessary strategic value. The large amount of helium and hydrogen resources it contained were of no use to the Xiling Apostles. Its surface speed of 360 kilometers per hour will also cause the imperial soldiers stationed on it to have dry skin and split hair - no one wants to build a base on such a useless planet anyway.

But the agents still made a huge discovery on the Misty Planet, a huge ancient ruin.

In the images transmitted back, we see a large mechanical structure connected together, generally in the shape of a circle, with the upper end covered with metal protrusions with rigid lines, making its surface look like a metal city, floating on the Misty Planet. On a high-density ocean under a thick atmosphere. But in fact it is a giant column suspended vertically in an ocean of nitrogen-helium-hydrogen that is liquid due to high pressure. The average cross-section radius of this metal column is about 70 kilometers, and the length of its penetration into the ocean reaches an astonishing 900 kilometers, like a slender chopstick piercing vertically into the sea. The top of this "chopstick" is the "sea city" we see from the holographic picture.

The structure of this huge man-made object is very complex. It has a rigorous and thick armor structure and shield system (already extinguished), which can well withstand the hurricanes of the Mysterious Planet and ocean turbulence. Its top was initially mistaken by me for a city building. The various metal protrusions are actually a series of weapons with an outrageous density.

This ancient relic is relatively well preserved, and some of its functions may still be in operation. Amidst the crazy hurricanes and turbulence of the Mysterious Planet, it has always maintained a stable posture, and even larger ups and downs rarely occur. We found a large number of emblems on the surface of this man-made object that do not belong to the empire, and its overall style is not a product of Xiling, but its shield system and part of its structural materials come from Xiling technology.

Within this ancient creation, agents discovered tens of millions of remains.

The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the living room, and everyone held their breath and watched these scenes from four astronomical units away. They were real image data recorded by the agents who entered the ruins of the Misty Star. They were not processed in any way, but they had Absolute authenticity and shocking content. Of course, what really touched us was not the sight of corpses everywhere: we had all seen more bizarre scenes than that. What really silenced everyone was Sandora's whisper: "It's them, my former vassal race. "

"The main passages were all penetrated. The isolation gate was once lowered, but was soon torn open like paper by the intruders," Bubble whispered. "A large dose of radiation was found at the scene. It seems that the Armored Scorpion first invaded and destroyed the defense system. , and then the raven and the leader bee completed the next massacre."

Typical imperial-style raiding tactics, targeted cleaning of closed fortresses.

In fact, I have thought about one thing a long time ago and discussed it with Sandora, which is what kind of path the affiliated civilizations that used to be attached to the behemoth Xiling Empire took after the empire fell asleep. There may be a small number of them that still exist and have even developed to this day with some success, but the vast majority of them will certainly not survive these years.

For the vassal civilization that relies on the super civilization, the deformation of the technology tree and the rapid decline of itself after losing its backing are almost unsolvable problems. Once the empire collapses, these relatively weak vassal civilizations will lose their technological power in a short period of time, and then be destroyed by the enemy's counterattack: following the empire, you will inevitably have to fight against an enemy that is unimaginably powerful. With an empire When protected, no one can harm the affiliated civilizations under the wings of the empire. Without this shield, none of the "advanced civilizations" that have been promoted by force can survive independently in the already too turbulent and diverse world.

Therefore, after the collapse of the old empire, it is basically a certainty that countless subsidiary civilizations will be destroyed. Most of them will be destroyed in the end, leaving no traces of them even in the records of the gods - because The Protoss only updated their map every one to two hundred million years.

But no one expected that the corpses of the civilization affiliated to the former empire that we came into contact with for the first time would actually appear in front of us like this.

They died at the hands of their former masters.

It must be said that Pao Pao initially asked us not to delve further into this tangled issue, but the information she released had the opposite effect.

"This is the largest ancient ruins discovered in the Mobrado Galaxy," said Paopao in a rare serious tone, and for the first time in a long time he did not play games online while working. "The Misty Star may be The last resistance base of ancient civilization. By this time, they should have been blocked by the imperial fleet from the jump channel to deep space and other worlds. They can only camp step by step in their home galaxy. This site has a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower, all of which are aimed at the psionic protection. Shield weapons, but these weapons showed almost no signs of being used and were of no use at all. Most of the corpses in the ruins were soldiers. Due to the low temperature and psionic radiation in the environment, these corpses were only dehydrated but not severely decomposed. .”

This explains why these corpses, which are probably hundreds of thousands of years old, can still be preserved to this day, but they are probably only in complete shape. In the holographic picture just now, the environment showed a dusty and dim appearance. , that is the organic dust turned into by severely weathered corpses floating in the air. Just a slight vibration, such as the movement of agents opening the isolation gate, can raise a large cloud, and many corpses will be ejected the moment they are touched. Turned to dust in front of us.

Although I have seen far more cruel scenes than this, such silent scenes are still very uncomfortable.

"This is the only tomb of an ancient civilization that the agents have found. No remains of the ancient Mobradorans have been found in other ruins. It has been too long, and many planets have been cleaned too thoroughly," said Pao Pao, While processing the intelligence uploaded by the subordinate information nodes in real time, "Mobrado's six planets, except for the two non-solid planets, the other four planets all have traces of being bombed, even though hundreds of thousands of years have passed. After those battlefields have been leveled, we can still find evidence from under the earth's crust. The first planet is the worst one. It was burned by the stars and then pushed towards the sun. It can be said that in addition to the relics of the old empire, the traces of ancient civilizations have been There are no scum left. Mobrado's scientists have also explored the First Planet. Although they are not as thorough as ours, they have also discovered a lot of things. Now they speculate that the First Planet is the origin of ancient civilization. , this is what they analyzed from a large number of ancient civilization documents, and the credibility should be very high. In other words, the first planet was concentratedly destroyed as a military key. The current Mobrado home planet is the third planet , there are also traces of being bombed by the Imperial fleet, but it is not that serious. It seems that the goal of those crazy Imperial soldiers back then was just to eliminate life on the planet, and they had no interest in destroying the entire planet."

"Then there is also a report scanned from the database of the Blue Church's temple. We picked up the important information-scholars in this world have found some clues that prove that modern Mobrados are actually descendants of ancient civilizations... …”

"Descendants?!" Sandora suddenly interrupted the bubble, "Aren't all ancient civilizations extinct?"

Paopao shook his little head uncertainly: "It's just a guess. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the phenomenon that modern Mobrados can control some Xiling equipment. Modern Mobrados have a guess about their origins. They It is believed that after the demise of ancient civilizations, there were still some survivors. These survivors slept in the ruins of the sages for a long time, and then woke up. They lost their memories due to the long time and became a new race. But strange to say, Mo The records of Brado's history during this period were extremely confusing. It seemed that the world was not yet peaceful at that time. Their evolutionary process was cut into sections. Even the database of the Blue Church did not have a clear record. However, this statement is generally It is widely recognized, and I judge its credibility to be over 83%..."

Paopao changed her usual personality of always jumping around. Now she seemed quite reliable, and her analysis of problems was clear and logical. As she organized the information from lower-level information nodes into the most concise words, everyone slowly understood this. The situation of the world's new civilization.

Today's Mobradorans are divided into many branches, including ordinary people, regenerated people, new humans, mutants, subhumans, etc. These branches have significant differences, but they still have the same genetic source. The birth of these races was due to an event called a 'disaster'. The specific time and reason why this 'disaster' occurred cannot be investigated, but it may also be related to the imperial legacy, and it can be determined that it occurred during a period of time after the demise of ancient civilization and before the emergence of modern human subspecies. The ancestors of the Mobradorans died in large numbers during the 'disaster', and those who survived mutated into various subspecies. This is the result of research by scholars here, and its credibility is also very high.

There is a special class in Mobrado society called "successors". It is called a class, but it is not the same as a class. It refers to a person with unique talents, regardless of race. All modern Mobradon have the potential to become successors upon birth. These gifted people are more likely to become clergymen and scholars than ordinary people, and they can learn how to use their mental power to control ancient weapons unearthed from holy ruins more than ten times easier than ordinary people. Almost every one of them is Mobrado is a well-deserved elite in religious society. The world's largest religion, the Blue Church, holds twelve of the most powerful ancient weapons known as "guns of judgment" (it is speculated that someone may have unloaded anti-aircraft guns from an imperial battleship). Twelve weapons that are at the pinnacle of power in this world are mastered by the twelve strongest paladins, and eleven of these paladins are "successors", and one is the Pope's second cousin. You It can be seen how powerful the power of genetic genes is: this is true in all aspects.

The reason why the successors appear is due to their bloodline. Modern Mobrados all inherit genetic genes from ancient people. Just because of the ubiquitous psionic energy radiation on the planet, after a long evolutionary journey, these genes have been mutated in the new Mobrados. They are all hidden in the body, but some people are exceptions. Their genes are dominant, which gives them amazing talents.

If the guess is correct, Milia should also be an inheritor. Her ability to control the empire's inheritance is amazing compared to her age. Uncle Zaku's intention in not letting her talk about her identity is really good. But I still don’t understand something. Milia once said that she was a priest—she didn’t even have a sect. What kind of priest was she?

"I once gave those servants some privileges, allowing them to control some of the empire's weapons, and the way to identify them was their mental fluctuations," Sandora recalled those long-ago events. Although the memory was a bit blurry, she had not forgotten it, "They It is a species with the gift of racial memory, and it seems that they finally wrote this gift into their genes and passed it down."

"This explains the origin of Mobrado's 'Holy Arms' technology," Bubble nodded, "Mobrado calls the technology of controlling ancient weapons through spiritual power the Holy Arms. Milia's satellite cannon It is one of the sacred weapons. Those agents have never been able to find out who created the skill of sacred weapons. Since the history of Mobrado, there have been some people who naturally know how to use this ability, and they also know how to use it. Train ordinary people to develop this technology.”

Modern Mobrados are descendants of ancient civilizations. This fact is unexpected, but it seems to be somewhat reasonable. If we follow this line of thinking, the emperor who lost control due to unknown reasons did not finally survive. Completely destroy the indigenous people of this galaxy?

"With the strength of the troops that carried out the extermination order of the old empire, it is impossible for them to be left alive due to negligence," Sandora said lightly, "They must have been stopped by something when they were exterminating the Mobrado galaxy. This is evidenced by the fact that a planet stops just before it is pushed into the sun."

Onee-sama suddenly said softly: "For example - suddenly sobered up?"

There was light flashing in Shandora's eyes, showing that her mood was not as stable as her cold expression now. She did not comment on her sister's words and just closed her eyes gently: "No matter whether they are awake or not in the end. In a moment, I will solve this problem with my own hands. The emergence of the fallen apostles is already the greatest shame of the empire, and I cannot accept my subordinates doing the same crazy things without being infected by the abyss."

Sandora's words touched me very much. If we really want to go to war with her former army this time, the girl queen will undoubtedly be the most uncomfortable in my heart, but some things seem to be unavoidable.

This is different from every war that everyone has ever experienced.

We have also fought against the armies of the old empire, but some of them are fallen apostles, who are traitors who have stood on the opposite side of the empire, and deserve to die. Some of them are temple guards, ancient spaceships that are out of control, and are not technically Yuki. The regular army composed of spiritual apostles, although the scale of the battle was large, in some ways it was just troubleshooting ancient equipment. But now, we are going to fight to the death with Shandora's most loyal soldiers in the past.

I took out the playing card that Lin Xue handed me from my arms, and randomly picked out one, but it depicts the pattern of sharp blades and gears.

"War will inevitably come, don't hesitate, because the enemy will not hesitate."

That girl, it must have taken a lot of effort to make this thing. She hesitated and crossed out the word "Yu" four times.

"If we summarize the intelligence collected so far, the possibility that Sister Sandora's former troops are out of control has reached 84.65%," Bubble turned off the holographic projection and said seriously, "Far away Far beyond the war warning line. The troops at the outpost are ready and working overtime to expand production, but I am worried that they are still not enough to fight the enemy here."

I suddenly remembered that Bubbles turned out to be the Xiling host under Sandora. She knew the situation of the Revenge Army very well, so she immediately asked: "If the main force of the Revenge Army stays in this world, how many troops will we need to deal with them? "

"Simple comparison of numbers is meaningless. There are endless variables in space wars," Sandora shook her head and replied on behalf of Bubbles, "I can only say that the more numbers, the better. The Revenge Army's fighting style is very... They are the most What they are good at is attacking at all costs. In order to achieve combat goals, they can sacrifice themselves as accurately as a math problem from top to bottom. From mid- to high-level commanders who can be resurrected to junior soldiers who only have one life, they all have this awareness. This is It was originally the most terrifying thing about my army, but now I have to worry about it. I don’t know if they still have this habit after losing control. If they do, we will definitely not feel comfortable. "

Listening to Sandora's words, I felt secretly bitter in my heart, wondering why most of the Xiling apostles are such lunatics...

"Actually, we should have a more optimistic guess." Seeing the depressed expression on my face, my sister suddenly showed a gentle smile, "Has no one ever thought that in fact, only part of the Revenge Army is out of control?"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on her.

"So far, the only out-of-control emperor we have come into contact with is the pilot of the individual fighter plane, and the rest are the remaining ancient relics in the Mobrado galaxy. They are all indirect evidence and can only prove revenge. The army has launched an attack on the indigenous people here, but it cannot be proved that all of them participated in the attack. And we seem to have forgotten one thing: all Xiling devices found in Mobrado are offline - they were artificially The identification code has been erased, so that it cannot be controlled uniformly through the information link of the Xiling Apostles, but it is more suitable for use by vassal races without spiritual networks..."

"In other words, maybe the Revenge Army has been divided into two parts," Shandora immediately understood what her sister meant, "In other words, their actions were divided into two parts, one half was killing the servants, and the other half was working hard. Leave them with enough to resist and let them destroy themselves - although this effort failed, the Revenge Army may not be hopeless!"
