856 Harkison's Calculations
Leaping streamers streaked across the dark and deep universe, and the folded traces left by the evacuated fleet of the Ethereal Sect awakened one Imperial space monitoring buoy after another along the way, without concealing the route at all.
In the bridge of the Sunshine-class main ship, five super A-class people, including Sugman and Sisko, gathered together and looked at Fleet Commander Rogo with a serious face, and Rogo's gaze never left the star map from beginning to end.
"Lighthouse Star is located on the edge of the Dawn Cluster, bordering the Barren Cosmic Zone, and we will be able to escape from this alert area in no time if we maintain full speed of evacuation." Rogo said in a deep voice.
The propagation of energy and light takes time, the space scale of the universe is very large, and many long-range detection methods have a certain delay, and the detection buoy that uses quantum communication to transmit real-time information is a more commonly used warning method, but the universe is too large, and the empire cannot lay monitoring buoys in every inch of space, and the warning area generally extends to the surrounding with the stronghold planet as the center, and the density of the monitoring buoy is farther and more sparse.
At this time, the Ethereal Spirit Sect has fled to the outer warning area of the Lighthouse Star, and is going deep into the barren universe zone, at this time, it is timeless, there is no point in clearing the space buoy, and it will also be located. Rogo didn't mind being monitored by the Empire in the warning area, after all, he wasn't really stupid enough to go straight to the location of the secret stargate.
The plan is to go into hiding in the area where the space buoys are sparsely populated in the barren cosmic belt, so that they can get rid of the direct surveillance of the empire, and then divide into dozens or hundreds of troops to move to the secret star gate in a roundabout way.
In this way, a considerable part of the detachment is an outcast, when their fleet departed, the location of the secret stargate was moved, the original secret stargate coordinates have been scrapped, but the star map has not updated the information, only Rogo, super A-level and a cadre of henchmen know this information, this move is to prevent the detachment from revealing the location of the secret stargate after being captured by the empire.
Of course, these detachments are not completely abandoned, they are just a trick, and they will not be informed of the true location of these detachments until the core troops such as Luo Ge and Super A-level escape from the Shining Star Sea, at that time, even if the secret stargate is exposed, the impact is much smaller, and they can blow up the stargate at any time to stop the loss, and no matter how bad it is, these troops can cross back from the barren universe, and their time is not worth much.
"As soon as possible, stay in the Shining World for one more minute, and our risk will increase." Sugman said in a deep voice.
"If you're only going to talk this kind of nonsense that everyone knows, then don't open your mouth, thanks to you, the risks we are suffering now are meaningless!" Rogo was not polite at all, and his tone was tinged with faint anger.
He reported the results of the battle to the bishopric just now, and was scolded, thinking that the future would be bleak, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he didn't want to give these super A-level who caused the failure of the operation any good looks at this time.
was slapped on the head, Sugman's face tightened, and after thinking about it, he still didn't have a seizure, and the breaking point appeared on the super A-level battlefield, and they really deserved it.
The other four turned a deaf ear, everyone was now a grasshopper on the same line, fleeing in embarrassment on the territory of the empire, and no one cared about Rogo's disrespect.
Sisko's face on the edge was the most ugly, and when he thought that his friend Di Lun had fallen into the hands of the Empire, he was in an extremely bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to others.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Luo Ge snorted and said sullenly: "Now the empire is definitely sending troops to block our escape route, but don't worry too much, this is just a fake route for suspicious tactics, and most of the fleets available to the empire in the vicinity have run to support the beacon star, and it will take time for the farther strongholds to send fleets, so even if we encounter interception, we can easily annihilate the other party...... The only thing to worry about is the Imperial Super A-level pursued behind, according to the current situation, Tarrokov will wait for reinforcements to act together, but unfortunately, I originally thought that there was a chance to lure the enemy to fight back......"
While Rogo was analyzing, Sagman and the others were also discussing privately in the telekinetic exchange.
"With the size of the fleet, even if the troops are divided, it will be just as conspicuous, maybe we should break away from the fleet and operate in small ships, which will be more hidden." Taylordi said.
"You can think about it, and wait until the big army separates."
When hiding and escaping, the survival and concealment of the super A-class acting alone are much higher than those of following the fleet, as an individual who has mastered great power, he is not afraid of the harsh environment of the universe, and the target is extremely small, and he hides on a barren planet casually, and no one can find it.
In particular, Niga and Teledi, who have mastered the secret method, are not restrained by enemies, and the teleportation technique is haunting.
Rogo was worried about being pursued by the Empire's Super A-level, so he wanted to take Sagman and the others with him, but as everyone knows, Sagman and the others were also thinking about using the large army as bait to attract the attention of the Empire.
……
In the other direction, the fleet of the Ark of the Fallen is also withdrawing at full speed.
Due to the break, the fleet of the alien gods was cut off from the Ethereal Spirit Sect, there was no intelligence channel, and they were completely unaware of the other party's movements.
However, they have an advantage, they stormed in from the outer warning area, and consciously destroyed a lot of space monitoring buoys along the way, forming a scattered blind spot, which is conducive to running away.
In the command room of the main ship, Harkison looked away from the star map and turned his head to look at the alien clone beside him.
The alien god has already found a secret room to evolve, I don't know how long it will last, and before he began to evolve, he deliberately separated some clones to protect himself and monitor the movements of the fleet.
The Xenomorph has always been wary of anyone, even Harkison, his right-hand man who has been with him for hundreds of years, and when his body is at its most vulnerable, he truly trusts only himself.
"Still don't believe me......"
Harkison's barbed tongue was like a thorny snake, licking the bright red metal mask that covered the upper half of his face, scraping out the grinding sound of tooth acid, and he snorted from his nose like a sneer.
In front of the alien clone, Harkison raised his four arms like withered old branches, and wisps of purple mist oozed from his dark purple skin, condensing into a ball of mist in mid-air, restrained by some ability, like a bead.
Then, he found his subordinates, handed the beads in his hand to the other party, and lightly ordered: "Vacate an ordinary warship, remove the energy core, intelligent system and other components inside, leave only an empty shell, put this bead into the spaceship, and then leave the ship, let it drift on the road we pass, and let the imperial troops chasing us behind discover the ship." ”
The alien clone turned his head to look at him and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Hey...... Harkison laughed weirdly, "I'm going to contact the Empire......"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the xenomorph clone suddenly grabbed his neck, lifted it up hard, and pressed it against the wall.
"You want to betray me?"
His neck was choked, but Harkison was not afraid at all, but laughed louder and louder, "Hahaha, I am ready to cooperate with the Empire, if they can provide us with information about the Ethereal Sect, we can divide some troops to intercept the Ethereal Sect - those men are just cannon fodder anyway." We are the closest force to the Ethereal Cult, and with our help, the Empire can hold back the Ethereal Cult more efficiently. ”
"There's no need to do that." The alien clone said lightly.
"No, it's very necessary, compared with the Ethereal Spirit Sect, the empire must be the latter that the empire wants to deal with, they have several super A-level on their side, the value is greater, if they can catch them, the Ethereal Spirit Sect will lose nearly half of the super A-level combat power, there is such an opportunity to hit the enemy, the empire will not let go, when the empire puts its focus on the Ethereal Spirit Sect, Your Excellency the Alien God, your pressure is less, hehehe."
Harkison's tone was full of banter and playfulness, and continued: "This time we escaped, the Ethereal Spirit Sect also held a grudge against us, and when we returned to the Central Star Sea, we will face the double blow of the Red Empire and the Ethereal Spirit Sect, doing so can not only reduce the Empire's anger against us a part, but also weaken the Ethereal Spirit Sect, so that you will face fewer super A-class enemies in the future, and if the Ethereal Spirit Sect suffers such a huge loss, it may not have time to deal with us in the short term." ”
The alien clone was noncommittal, "How do I know you're not betraying my position?" ”
"Heh, if Your Excellency is not at ease, you can let a clone of the Alien God stay on that empty shell ship and supervise my communication with the Empire, if you think I have betrayed your position...... Hehe, I'm here, you can kill me at any time. ”
The alien clone was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "You don't need to do this matter, I will send a clone to stay and negotiate with the empire, and I don't need you to interfere." ”
He felt that although Harkison's action was abrupt and strange, it did make some sense, and if he could negotiate with the Empire, it would be good for him, anyway, it was just a clone, and it would be okay if he was eliminated.
"Hehe, that's fine."
The hand holding his neck was released, and Harkison fell to the ground, rubbed his neck, called his subordinates, broke up the fog ball he had just made, sucked it back into his body, and continued to observe the star map as if nothing had happened.
The blood-colored metal mask burned on the top half of his face, and no one could see the look in Harkison's eyes hidden under the mask, and no one knew what he was thinking...... In other words, no one knows how he sees things with his eyes covered.
……
The fierce battle on the Lighthouse Star ended, but the incident was far from over, and under Tarrokov's orders, the Empire launched a pursuit of the Ethereal Cult and the Ark of the Fallen in the Shining World's fleet.
As the Legion players who watched the meat bun post on the forum to rephrase the situation on the battlefield, all kinds of surprise, shock, and curiosity had not subsided, and new missions popped up on everyone's panels at the same time.
Before this, the players of the Black Star Legion only knew that the Imperial Outpost Lighthouse Star had been attacked, and there were about ten super A-level melee battles, and the legion leader Black Star was one of them, as for the identity of the attacker, the cause and effect of this incident, they did not know anything, and they were confused.
And this quest just explains all this, and at the same time, many players bring even more shock.
[[Red Empire Solicitation Order: Full Pursuit]]
[Brief Introduction: Due to the coveting of the evolution cube of the Black Star, and in order to provoke conflict, the Ethereal Sect united with the Ark of the Fallen to raid the Empire's outpost in the Shining World, and the enemy had seven super A-class combat forces, however, with the help of the Empire's allies Blackstar, Milizaus, Beoni, and Austin, the foreign aid invited by the Black Star, we successfully repelled the attacking fleet!] Now, these two fleets are fleeing from the borders of the shining world, and all forces are hereby mobilized to hunt down the invading enemy and maintain the dignity of the empire - Tarrokov, commander-in-chief of the Red Empire's exploration force]
[Requirements: Track down the fleet of the Ethereal Cult and the Ark of the Fallen attacking Beacon Star to discover their whereabouts and kill their men as much as possible]
[After completing the task, different levels of rewards will be given according to your performance evaluation]
Knowing the ins and outs, the forum's Broken Star Ring plate instantly exploded.
"The Ethereal Sect is attacking the Red Empire? Is this a cosmic-level civilization going to fight?! ”
"No wonder there are eleven super A-level melee scenes, it turns out that this is the case, is the legion commander okay? I'm not dead! ”
"The goal of the clan leader is the evolution cube, so this incident was actually led by the clan leader?"
", I was targeted by a universe-level civilization and beat the other party away, there are cards!"
"Our Black Star Legion is an ally of the Red Empire, does it mean that the legion is also hostile to the Ethereal Spirit Sect?"
"It feels like something big is going to happen!"
Meat Bao grabbed first-hand information this time, and below his post, countless players poured in to post, building buildings at a rate of dozens of floors per second, which made him as excited as a monkey......
It's really right to follow the black star, and you can't make an explosive big news without being cold!
After the shock, many players became excited, went through three versions, and they also figured out the pattern, the events in the sea of stars are connected and affect each other, this is an orderly system, according to the intelligence and news of various regions, in fact, some possible future events can be logically speculated.
And this incident involves three major civilizations, no matter how you look at it, it is not a trivial matter, if the two sides pinch each other, it will definitely not be a small plot.
Many people have a kind of speculation...... Maybe this attack is a sign of a future main story?
Or even this is the main plot of the next version?
It's not impossible.
As this statement spread on the forum, some people put forward different suggestions, believing that this is not necessarily the main story, but may also be an event during the version update, and it will appear in the form of a background introduction in the next version, which has also been agreed by some people.
Due to Han Xiao's behavior all along, the Chinese players of the Broken Star Ring have developed the habit of guessing the plot of the big version, and the old Russian and Australian players from the constellation corridor have also joined in the speculation and integrated into the exciting atmosphere of the forum.
There are various conjectures, and the players of the Black Star Legion are not only fighting on the forum, but also turning around to participate in the pursuit.
Although many people are too far away to make meritorious contributions, Legion players are used to participating in large-scale faction missions en masse, and there are no failure conditions for this mission, and a symbolic chase may also be able to get a minimum reward.
The Shining World is still in a state of news blockade, and it is not fully connected to the explored universe, and except for the parties concerned, all other forces in the outside world currently do not know that such a turmoil has occurred in the Shining World.
However, the player group was the first to learn of these secret news, and the legion players had a heated discussion in the Shattered Star Ring plate, and players from other sections also called friends and heard the news, and poured into the Broken Star Ring plate to watch and eat melons.
This time, the forum has played a unique intelligence advantage, and when the outside world still knows nothing about this matter, the player community is already almost familiar with the Lighthouse Star Turmoil!
The forces of the three major civilizations are all over the entire explored universe, with a wide range of influence, and the players in the star field have all felt the tension of the coming mountains and rains from this incident, and secretly look forward to the huge turmoil caused by this matter after it spreads to the outside world!
……
On the other side, Tarrokov's large army set out from the Lighthouse Star to pursue the Ethereal Spirit Sect, and Han Xiao, Milizaus, Beoni, Herbert, and Raven Laud were rare to join forces and travel together.
Not long after he set off, the high-ranking official in charge of the empire's logistics contacted Han Xiao according to Ulan Ruier's request, gave him enough face, and personally asked him what ultimate knowledge he wanted in exchange.
