146. Burnt out
"What's going on?!" At the same moment, the meeting hall of the "Super Alliance Council" exploded, and Bill Gandalf roared in his position without grace, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Why did players disappear so much for no reason as soon as the server was opened? ”
"Don't worry, Speaker, even though we have nearly half of our online numbers compared to before, we still have 1.5 billion in numbers! It is more than enough to start a full-scale war. Congressman Disbell from the United States of the Livata System comforted.
"I'm afraid things aren't as rosy as Congressman Disbell said!" Councillor Blides from the "Predas Interstellar Empire" retorted with a heavy face: "In the past few days, the officials of our empire have been attacked by some players, and I have been instructed by our Emperor to investigate this matter......"
"What does your investigation into the attack on your Imperial officials have to do with this Terran player for no reason?" Disbeel interrupted Brides. What he is most accustomed to is the councilors of the "Predas Star Empire", who act like old pedants at every turn, and they are not clean and neat at all.
"The attackers I investigated were all targeted by the people I sent, and some of them have even been arrested by us and are on their way back to awaiting trial. But after this update, although we have detected that they have gone online, we have not seen their whereabouts in the same place where they have gone offline, and our people have not been able to lock their specific location. "There are many reasons for this, but most of them are due to special geographical reasons, such as interference, spatial rifts, etc., and the places where these players go offline are all ordinary terrain, so when we ruled out these unrealizable reasons, we found that there was only one reason left most likely - they went to the side of the 'tech faction'." ”
Immediately, there was a noisy discussion in the council room, and many councillors seemed to have thought of something, and their faces became more and more ugly.
"Silence!" Speaker Bill Gandalf slammed his hammer on the table to silence the councillors, and he again motioned for Blydes to continue his point.
"So I used my permission to retrieve the player online records in the last few hours, and I was surprised to find that the number of players online did not decrease, but increased a lot more than usual. In other words, at least more than half of the players who are online are not in the sphere of influence of our 'Super Faction'......" Blides said his conclusion with difficulty: "I suspect that the 'Tech Faction' used our 'Jedi Project' to divert more than half of our recruits!" ”
"What!" Speaker Bill Gandalf stood up from his place in shock, and the small hammer in his hand almost fell to the ground. The whole conference hall was more lively than before, and the councillors were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. If Blides's conclusion is true, then it means that the 50-year Predas War has once again returned to a stalemate...... No, it may be more complicated, because there is now a powerful new force - the earthlings. Although these people have always had the fundamental weakness of "collective disconnection" in their hands, but now with the intervention of the "science and technology faction", the weakness of "collective disconnection" is still not a weakness, and they have no bottom in their hearts.
"Have you found out how the Tech faction got the details of the Jedi Project? Without knowing the details of this plan, they would not have been able to carry out such a targeted operation. Bill Gandalf asked.
"There's no definite information yet, but I suspect there's a major leak in one person." Brides said word by word: "That person is Dai Ming Dao." ”
"Oh? Tell me your reasoning. Speaker Bill Gandalf asked.
"He was supposed to report to the Royal Military Academy of Siva, but he inexplicably appeared in Port Noah, and he was also very close to Blenny Lexar of the Lexar family of the 'Tenopula Empire' under the 'Tech Faction'. He spent a lot of money at the auction in Noah Harbor, auctioning a lot of natural treasures. How can an outsider who has just arrived in our world accumulate such a huge amount of wealth in such a short period of time? And I learned that the spaceship under his name is the essence of the space technology of the 'technology faction', representing the highest level of science and technology in this era. Blides concluded, "I have reason to believe that this man is the one who has traded our 'Jedi Project' for these massive benefits. I suggest that all the countries of our 'super faction' join forces to arrest him! ”
"Hehehe, Blides, your fox tail is finally revealed...... Councilor Disbell on the side smiled and clapped his hands, "The reasoning is good, the interlocking and logical are thorough, and the performance is also in place." But we all know the reasons why those officials of your empire were attacked. Now you can't stand it anymore and want to pull people from other countries to share the risk, your intentions...... Tut-tut! ”
"If our empire's heirloom artifact is robbed by someone and nothing is done, then where will our empire's face go? The pillars of our empire have been attacked one after another, dead and wounded, if we do not bring the culprits to justice, how can we face the hundreds of millions of people of the empire? Now that our empire is in trouble, as allies of the same camp, don't you have anything to express? Blides asked aloud.
"We are deeply sympathetic to what has happened to your empire!" Disbeel dismissed him without a pain, and then proposed: "I didn't say that you should give up on the murderer, I meant that you can do it another way......"
"Oh? I want to hear about it! Blydes' heart moved, and he couldn't help asking.
"My method doesn't make much of a difference." Disbel pinched his beard and smiled: "Revoke the wanted warrant for Demingdao and send a killer to assassinate him; At the same time, an underground bounty will be issued, and it will be enough to spend more money, after all, there are many people who do this kind of business......"
"Uh-huh!" Speaker Bill Gandalf couldn't help but cough and interrupted Congressman Disbell. These two old fellows should openly talk about such a thing in such a sacred place, and it is my duty and duty to remind them as Speaker. "The two of them can stop in moderation, and if there is anything to whisper, they will go to discuss it after adjourning the meeting. Blides's analysis is reasonable, but we don't have any solid evidence, so I decided to freeze Demingdao's assets first, send an investigation team to collect evidence in detail, and then discuss it based on the information fed back. ”
"Now let's discuss how 'all-out war' should be conducted." Speaker Bill Gandalf sighed and moved on to the most important issue of the day.
"Just cut off the connection with the earth, the war in our world still depends on us to fight." A lawmaker proposed.
"What if we can only cut off our side?" Another parliamentarian retorted.
"At this point, I'd suggest trying to improve the pay to attract players who choose the 'Tech faction' to return, and increase the quest rewards to motivate players. Generally speaking, now is the time when the battle situation is stalemate, those players from the earth are indispensable, since the mobilization of the all-out war has been released, this war still has to be carried out, and now the difference is that our troops have become logistics, and the main force of the battle has become those players from the earth. Councillor Disbell suggested.
"War is going to be war, and negotiations can't be stopped. Now let's start this Armageddon as planned......" Bill Gandalf sighed. He felt more and more that it was a heavy burden for the war to drag on like this, and that it was time to negotiate a truce with the "tech faction".
---------- Dividing Line------------
It was already more than 12 o'clock in the middle of the night when the "Red Sky Prism" arrived at the "Poison Prison Island", but because the "Poison Prison Island" was just a huge piece of planetary fragment, and the light of the stars shone on it all day and night, there was no day and night on the whole island, but the position of the stars would be different. There is a floating airport base hanging outside the "Poison Island Island", which serves as a forward base for landing personnel and a fortress to suppress the "Galaxy Sawtooth Clan", and the firepower and defense system here are very complete.
The "Red Sky Prism" did not fly directly to the "Poison Hell Island", but chose to land here first, and then organize personnel to set off on foot. It would be very foolish to rush over the area of activity when the species, number, and distribution of the "Galaxy Sawtooth" on the "Poison Island Island" are not yet known, and it is better to be cautious unless it is a last resort.
The "Chitianling" landed slowly, and the fully automatic guidance, connection, and personnel transmission channels of the airport base were opened one after another, and the personnel reception work was completed in an orderly manner, but everyone soon found that although everything was running normally here, the entire base was empty, not only people, but not even small animals. It's like a dead city with no signs of life.
After the connection of the "Red Sky Preng" was completed, Dai Mingdao and his party packed up their equipment and prepared to set off. In addition to the five-person team of Dai Mingdao, there are also more than a dozen boyfriends and girlfriends found by Li Lifei, Xiaowei, An, Zhao Fatzi, "Pan Min", Xiaolan and Xiaolan, and I heard that they are all her classmates. In the team, except for Dai Mingdao and "and Pee" are ontological actions, Mu Xiaodie and the four of them use simple magic puppets, and the others are magic puppet controllers used on the third floor of the "Red Sky Prism", using the magic puppets they captured to act.
As soon as this team of people landed, Deming Dao easily put away the "Red Sky Prism", but did not cut off the connection between the "Red Sky Prism" and the outside world, otherwise these magic puppets would be "wiped out". This base is so weird, Deming Dao naturally won't leave his ship and his companions' bodies here. After he saw that everyone was moving freely, he immediately urged everyone to leave this base and move towards the "Poison Prison Island", after all, the purpose of their coming here was not to investigate this strange base, they could stay away from unknown and unnecessary dangers, and the most important thing was to preserve their strength.
