Chapter 551: Apostate
With just one sentence, Zhao Yi successfully pulled Tarishuus back to that battle that seemed to never stop.
An overwhelming swarm of insects swarmed towards the fleet of the Star Spirits. Although the Golden Fleet was once built by the Council of Light and Shadow, the number of the Golden Fleet reached the point of being as vast as a sea of stars. But the number of insects that are more numerous and more well-resourced directly uses them flattened them.
There are no rules, no strategies, just the infection and destruction of one planet after another. Perhaps in the beginning, the Worm used some tactics against the more individual Golden Fleet, but as the defense line shrank, the Worm's attack became less and less strategic.
Eventually, the final battle broke out on the planet of the new ruler Regoz.
"The swarms of the Kerrigan are overwhelming, and we can't find a way to defeat them." Tarisius' eyes darkened, and then he said.
Indeed, the strategy can only be used against opponents who are evenly matched or not very far apart in strength. When the opponent's strength surpasses his own to a certain point where he cannot be wiped out by stratagem, all intrigue is meaningless.
Therefore, we should not have a head-on confrontation with our opponents when our strength is not up to standard.......
Zhao Yi said to himself in his heart, and suddenly he remembered the apostate Opicles. He claims to have possessed enough information to subvert Darlam in exchange for a position and interest in the hybrid world.
A renegade Templar, Zhao Yi never believed that a Templar who had always been steadfast in his faith would betray his honor, nor did he believe that there would be a betrayer under the absolute orthodoxy of Atanis, who represented the world of the Elstar Spirits. Now, however, Zhao Yi suddenly became interested in this renegade.
"Bring the renegade here."
Zhao Yi suddenly opened the topic and directly pulled on to something inconsequential. Tarisius was stunned for a momentβthen nodded.
The nerve bundle at the back of his head glowed faintly, and then he took a few steps back, leaving some space for the upcoming meeting between Opicles and Zhao Yi.
In a short time, the Templar made his way up the passage.
The Annihilation Reincarnation is still high in Kellian's orbit, and after a long baptism of psionic energy, Zhao Yi needs to rely on the Static Stagnant Warehouse to save his life. The hybrid troops on the ground are clearing the remnants of Kai Ruigan's swarm troops to ensure that Zhao Yi, who has no combat effectiveness but wants to absorb the essence of the new master, can get absolute security after landing.
Zhao Yi floated in the static warehouse, his eyes staring at Opicles, who was also looking at the hybrid who was infinitely vigilant by the archbishop.
Opicles, who no longer wore any armor and weapons on his body, knelt down on one knee, his voice filled with humility: "My lord. β
In order to prevent Opicis from wanting to assassinate Zhao Yi, he was even forced to wear a psionic suppressor on his wrist.
The humility in tone and the surrender in mentality, all of a sudden, Zhao Yi realized the true purpose of his arrival.
"My lord, I have brought information that can defeat Dalam. I need to get status. β
Opicles showed an ugly face that could turn his back on the interests of his people for the sake of profit. Zhao Yi didn't respond, and he didn't talk about anything else, just stared at Opicles with his eyes that radiated erect pupils.
Zhao Yi has always believed in one sentence, that is, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. No matter how dignified a person is, you can't know how ugly he will be inside.
And now, the phrase that people's hearts are separated from their bellies seems to be able to be applied to the star spirit in front of him who knelt down on his knees to show his submission.
O once noble Templar, he grovels for the sake of profit...... Is it really groveling?
What is in front of Zhao Yi is not how much intelligence Opicis can bring, but whether this fanatic is truly willing to turn his back on his former honor.
"Opicles." After a long time, Zhao Yi finally spoke, his voice calm and gentle: "Relax, let go of your thoughts, I will search your memories in order to understand whether your information is valuable." β
Of course Zhao Yi was lying. He had never learned the ability to actively explore the memories of a star spirit, and he had never heard of a hybrid with such an ability. Even an Astral Protector who preserves ancient knowledge by protecting his memories cannot forcibly loot a Astral Spirit's memories. And the reason he did it was to cheat Opicles.
His words not only startled Opicles, but even Tarisius was frightened. He glanced at his boss in amazement, and then immediately realized, and the spiritual energy in his body intimidated the kneeling fanatic.

"I'm willing to accept this task, even if it will cost me my honor."
"Thank you, my friend." When Opicles expressed his willingness to accept the mission, Atanis was visibly relieved: "In order to prevent those hybrids from scavenging memories to obtain non-existent information, I will have Lohana, the protector, apply a layer of protection to your memories. That way they won't be able to know about your plan to pretend to be a hybrid. It can even make them more convinced of the authenticity of the betrayal. β
ββββββββββββββ
While secretly marveling at the archbishop's foresight, Opicis relaxed his mind as the hybrid had said.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yi quickly immersed his thoughts in Kara. Contact the department in charge of the warriors in the Council of Light and Shadow, and gather all the information about Opicles, as well as his family.
Fifty seconds after Opicrius closed his eyes and let go of his thoughts, Zhao Yi finally said, "It's okay." β
Opicles was not attacked, nor did he sense the mood change of the hybrid Zhao Yi in obtaining misleading memory information. For a moment, he wondered why the memory search didn't feel anything unusual.
However, now is not the time to feel abnormal, but a good time for Zhao Yi to get the wrong information.
"You can step down." However, without waiting for Opicles to say anything, Zhao Yi drove people away. The Templar's heart jumped.
Did Zhao Yi obtain the erroneous memory information arranged by Lohana from the looting memories? Or did he see through his plan and decide to let the hybrids take care of him?
For a moment, Opicles, who felt that the road in front of him contained countless uncertainties, stared at Zhao Yi like a ghost, and also stared at Taresios.
Zhao Yi remained motionless, and Taresios always maintained a threatening look and posture.
More inclined to the inducing memories arranged by Lohanna in his own memory, he successfully deceived Zhao Yi, and Opicles tried to get up according to the clear meaning of Zhao Yi's words, and then took a step back.
