Volume 3 The War of the Insects Chapter 172 The Origin of the Seven Swords
Morning Star didn't know what method Qin Qing used to persuade the others, but in the end, he managed to settle the backyard smoothly.
At the moment when Morning Star embarked on his journey, countless pairs of eyes paid attention to these warriors. If it weren't for the fact that the cunning furry bear was pulled out of the goddess's eyes by Morning Star, causing everyone to laugh at the send-off, Morning Star really didn't know if he would grit his teeth and drive down the warriors on the ship. Fortunately, in the end, Morningstar resisted such thoughts.
The three ships took to the skies in a triangle, and Morningstar, his comrades, and the ship's 10,000 soldiers ushered in the first real battle of Itgleason.
Itgleason was far from the agreed rendezvous point with the Talblin group, much longer than the two farthest points in the starry sky that humans had occupied, and it was only a meeting point, not Talbrim's sphere of influence. Perhaps this distance is also the main reason why humans have not had extensive contact with the Psenchus for a long time. Fortunately, the technicians of Talblin immediately modified the power systems of all the ships on Itgleason after joining it, greatly improving the efficiency of the interstellar voyage of these ships, so that this journey did not become a long march for many years.
Although the Snow and Boulder have been transformed, they are still much worse than the Queen's Eyes, so the journey has been extended a lot. Fortunately, after a dozen days, Itgleeson's fleet finally arrived at the designated location and successfully connected with Talbrin's forces.
Because of Anshidar's existence, Talbrim's attitude can be said to be very friendly, this descendant of the legendary technician of Pusenchus, although she has disappeared from people's sight for decades, but there are still many people who remember her, and even in Talblin's troops, Anshidar also met his childhood friend. But these are not the things that surprised Morningstar, the real thing that surprised Morningstar was that in Talbrin's troops, Morningstar actually met the legendary archbishop, Tacilis.
The males of Psenchus appear to Morningstar to be somewhat bohemian, not at all like the women of this race, and resemble humans. Compared to the women of Pusenchus, the males of this race are very different, and there is a cloaked like Tula all day, but vaguely the morning star can discern that these people have long skulls, and some of them have an extra braid-like thing on their backs, but unfortunately it is not hair, but more like the muscular structure of the body. There are also male Psenchus who are five big and three thick, and their arms and legs are almost as big as the waist of a human male. Of course, there are also those who look more like humans, at least there are no strange structures on their bodies. And the appearance of Taciris happens to be the last one.
Originally, out of politeness, Morning Star was going to meet with Thasilis on the other party's ship, but he never expected that as soon as the two sides confirmed their identities, Tarsiris actually came to the Goddess's Eye on a landing ship.
Unlike Morning Star, Tacilis's status among the Psenchus is more like Zhu Nianguo, Vistock or Tommy, Corinth, although the Psengchus do not have the concept of a country, but in Morningstar's view, this deficiency is quite similar to the country in the human camp. As the supreme leader of a country, Thasilis came to participate in this military operation, which shows how important those "personalities" are to them.
And Taciris himself ascended the Eye of the Goddess, which is even more proof of the archbishop's courage. For the first time, even with the relationship between Tula and Anshidar, Morningstar's Itgleason is still full of unknowns for them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Tasiris is personally in danger. However, Morningstar, of course, did not have any strange thoughts about the archbishop, who had just established a friendly relationship with him, but was puzzled by the behavior of Taciris himself on the ship.
Thasilis had apparently prepared for a long time, and the first words he said were the lingua franca of mankind. As soon as he boarded the ship, after a brief exchange of words with Morning Star, Tasiris came up with the idea of visiting the Goddess's Eyes. Morningstar was still a little dissatisfied with this somewhat rude request, but after Anshidar explained, he readily agreed.
Anshidar tells Morningstar that Tasiris is a close friend of the legendary technician Implis, who had been of great help to Impulis when he was exiled by the Council of Bishops of Psenchus. Led by the Morning Star, Thasilis toured the entire Goddess's Eyes, even the power system, which was never open to outsiders, and the seven swords on the ship, the Morning Star was open to the archbishop.
Morningstar's trust was unexpectedly rewarded, and Thasilis told Morningstar a story that even Anshidar and Tula had never heard of.
Thousands of years ago, it was in the golden age of Psenchus's external expansion, and at that time, the Psenchus were all over every corner of the universe, even the alien insects avoided the armies of these advanced civilizations, and never took the initiative to provoke them unless they had to do so. The Psenchus once thought their race was the most powerful being in the starry sky, until they suffered a major defeat in an unknown star field. The battle began inexplicably, and the army of Psenchus discovered an ancient civilization on a planet that proved their previous speculation after landing, and the entire planet was full of advanced technology that even the people of Psenchus could not understand, and these technologies later helped the development of Psenchus tremendously. The Psienus explorers, who were supposed to be ready to see it, firmly believed that the ruins on the surface were not the best part of this civilization, so they carried out a devastating destruction of the planet despite the dissuasion of the council, in a vain attempt to find the secrets that might exist beneath the surface. In the end, they were really found, but what greeted them was not the advanced technology that was deliberately used, but the advanced weapons left behind by this extinct civilization, dozens of terrifying mecha rushed out of the ground, and quickly destroyed all the Psenchus who participated in the destruction with terrifying combat power.
Although these explorers were not ordered by the council, they were citizens of Psenchus anyway, and the unexpected massacre made the council of Psenchus red-eyed, and sent a large army to surround and suppress the murderers. However, during the battle, the Psenchus found that their opponents seemed to be only a few dozen mechs, and they did not see any other enemies other than them. But it was precisely these dozens of mechs that caused Pusenchus's troops to suffer huge losses. Although the end result was that Psenchus wiped out all the mechs, the price paid was so great that everyone in Psenchus thought they were the losers in the war.
After the war, the team of Psenchus technicians conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance of the planet, only to find that there were no similar hidden structures underground, and that the dozens of mechs had been destroyed by the Psenchus man's tactics. That is to say, the Psenchus fought a "victorious battle" without loot, and all they could take with them was the wreckage of a few dozen mechs. The wreckage of these mecha did not attract too much attention at the time, after all, they were already damaged, but after research, the people of Pusenchus were surprised to find that the intelligent systems of these mecha were extremely advanced, and they were completely indistinguishable from that of an experienced warrior. Through the efforts of several generations of Psenchus technicians, these intelligent systems were finally successfully cracked, and then modified and used in the Psenchus army system, and also had a name belonging to Psenchus - personality.
Morningstar knew this moment and realized that the original personality system was not an invention of the Pusenchus, but a product of that ancient civilization.
"And what about later? What happened to those mechs? Little Ellie, who couldn't get enough of the story, asked.
Tasiris glanced at Morningstar meaningfully, and then continued, "Later, the Bishops' Council gave them high honors due to their outstanding performance, and those mechs were left in the hands of these technicians as research materials. After many years, these mecha were slowly forgotten. And many of the technicians are gradually losing interest in these mechas. But there are a few people who still believe that there are still secrets in these mechs that have not been dug up, because some of them have come to the battlefield and found that several of these mechs have shot something into space after the defeat. Among these people was the ancestor of Implis. ”
"Wait, Archbishop Tasilis, what do you mean?" Morningstar asked, looking at Taciris with a look of astonishment.
Apparently clear about Morningstar's thoughts, Tasiris replied with a smile, "That's your own guess, I didn't say that." What's more, these memories were all passed down to me by my predecessors, and it is unknown whether there are any apocryphal or misremembered memories. ”
"But why do I only have eight here? Shouldn't it be dozens? Morningstar pinched his chin and muttered to himself.
"Human, don't be too greedy, in your words, it's called original sin." Taciris's voice became a little low, as if to warn Morning Star, but Morning Star ignored the other party at all, and Morning Star was still in his own little world. Tasiris shook his head and continued: "According to your human calendar, it is thousands of years, and it is inevitable that those technicians will have disagreements and divisions in such a long time. ”
Morning Star hurriedly withdrew from his small world, first confessed to Tacilis, and then looked at Catherine, the other party's expression obviously understood Morning Star's thoughts, those unknown objects that were shot into space by mechas, those artifacts that were sought after by the Mandate of Heaven Sect, the two stones in Morning Star's hands, could it be what Anshidar said, the missing part of the Seven Swords?
Tassilis's words made Morning Star realize that if the seven swords in his hand were those mecha that the Psenchus had encountered on an unknown planet, the combat effectiveness displayed by the seven swords was obviously insufficient. Dozens of mechs can cause heavy losses to the entire Psenchus fleet, which is completely impossible for the current Seven Swords and Traps. When the two sides met earlier, Morningstar saw the ships of Pusenchus, although they were very elegant in appearance, but the firepower system that was occasionally revealed was extremely powerful, and Morningstar was not confident that he could drive into battle with such an army. Thinking about what Anshidar had said before, neither the Seven Swords nor the Trap were complete, and Morning Star couldn't help but combine these two points.
Now, the two artifacts obtained by Morningstar are kept on Itgleason, and according to the current situation, one of them obviously belongs to Norin Hill, which is also the Allure of the Seven Swords, although the other is also very close to Catherine, but unfortunately it is not by Catherine's side at the moment. After a little thought, Morningstar and Tasiris began a discussion about the mission. Due to the limited information at hand, there was no breakthrough in the discussion between the two, so they could only put it aside for the time being, reorganize the fleets of the two sides, and sail to the destination together.
After sending Thasilis away, Morningstar confers with Quinn, Andahir and Catherine. Although they had not yet been able to grasp the exact evidence, Tasilis's words made the four of them begin to believe that the Seven Swords and the Trap were several of the dozens of mechas. Coupled with Anshidar's memories, since she became Implis's assistant, Impliss would burrow into a room in the Goddess's Eye every once in a while and not come out, until she was dying, she informed Ancidar of the existence of the Seven Swords and the Trap, and said that she had also tailored a phantom for her. This is likely to mean that Impriss has been modifying these mechs all along. Although the fatalism of the Seven Swords is difficult to explain, Morning Star even accepts the fate theory, how can he stubbornly doubt that the existence of the Seven Swords is not a fate.
After the discussion, Morningstar came to the training ground of the Goddess's Eye alone, and summoned the trap from the ceiling, followed by the cold glow, and the Morningstar who saw it made a snort, and he gave up the time to kiss me and me with Catherine for the origin of these guys, but they did something unseemly here, damn!
"Brother, do you have any memories of your own past, such as where you are from and who has been driven by before?" Morningstar asked, patting the trapped calf and tilting his head to look directly into the trapped eyes.
Caught in the battle felt a little inexplicable about Morning Star's question, Morning Star didn't know if he had the ability to think about problems, but remembering his past performance, he still looked at each other with firm eyes. The trap didn't react to Morning Star's words, but the cold rays, fire tongues, thunder and eagle eyes on the side all lit up together, and even the phantom, who had always been indifferent, took an unprecedented step closer to Morning Star. Just as Morning Star was pleased with the performance of the Seven Swords, a cold voice came out, "With all due respect, you are still too weak, even if you know what happened to us in the past. ”
"Yes, that's it!" Morning Star was extremely happy to hear the answer, and he couldn't help but have a happy expression on his face.
"Then tell me what you can tell me, so that I know what I should work towards."
……
Morning Star finally got some of the answers he wanted from the trap, but he never expected that the personality in the trap and the Seven Swords would be so strong, after thousands of years, not only did not become weaker, but because of the contact with the people of Psenchus and the humans, it became even stronger. The trap informs Morningstar that what happened to the Seven Swords is closely related to the fate that Morningstar will face. The ancient civilization that created the Seven Swords was also destroyed by enemies from the Void, and the entire genocide was exterminated, leaving only a few dozen mechs with personalities, but they were defeated by the later Psenchus. Seven Swords has no hatred for the Pusenchus people, after all, the cause of the battle is also because of the active attack of those dozens of mechas, and Seven Swords was finally able to be reborn thanks to the efforts of Implis. But for the threat in the void, the trap expressed extraordinary worries. It is a force full of destruction, and it exists for only one purpose, which is to destroy. If the threat that Morningstar is facing is in the same vein as the terrifying force that destroyed ancient civilizations thousands of years ago, the chance of victory is basically zero.
Morning Star, who left the training ground, was in a heavy mood, and in the end, he still didn't tell himself about those artifacts, maybe it was because he was too weak, and he thought that even if he told himself, he couldn't help him achieve his goal. Unable to help but sigh, Morningstar said to himself, "I, how can I become stronger? ”
Morningstar's lament was heard by Quinn, who had not seen Morningstar for a long time, knew that Morningstar must be in the training ground, but on the way to find it, he happened to hear Morningstar's lament. After Morningstar and Quinn have their reasoning, Quinn comforts Morningstar.
Although the beginning of the clues has emerged now, after all, there is still time, Morning Star can still grow, not to mention that the origin of the Seven Swords is now known, and it is also speculated that the Seven Swords still have a huge room for growth, which means that this can become the direction of Morning Star's current efforts. What's more, being strong doesn't have to be strong as an individual, the real strength lies in being united and working together, isn't it for this reason that the name ItGleason - the place of racial integration was created?
Morningstar's mood finally improved slightly under Quinn's relief, but he still couldn't completely let go. I've always heard people say that there is no motivation without pressure, but Chenxing's heart is constantly complaining at the moment, the pressure on others' backs is the pressure of the family, and to put it bigger, it is nothing more than Zhu Nianguo and Vistock, who are burdened with the pressure of the country, but themselves? Pressed against the back is the entire starry sky.
Looking at his legs, Morning Star smiled wryly, can this small body resist?
