Chapter 14 - The Apocalypse
The meeting rooms from Paraná down are all battle-hardened. There was an extra person in the conference room out of thin air, and everyone was surprised, but almost instantly, everyone had an extra weapon in their hands.
Although in Jun's eyes, they were only as fast as snails pulling out their guns, he knew that this was already the fastest speed among the earthlings. It seems that this is the most elite force on Earth, he thought to himself. I can't help but have some confidence in their strength.
Among the commanders present, only Barana was of mixed Chinese and American descent, who could understand Chinese, and thought that since this person appeared quietly, if he wanted to be unfavorable to them, he would have done it a long time ago. So he waved his hand to signal them to put down their weapons, stood up and bowed slightly: "Commander of the Third Fleet of the Earth, Parana, fortunately." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to shake hands.
Who knew that Jun did not understand what he meant, and the last time Jun came to China was nearly 3,000 years ago. Although he learned modern Chinese when he came to Earth in the last World War, his understanding of the etiquette of earthlings was still in ancient times. Barana was stunned, although he was confused, but he also painted a scoop according to the gourd, hugged his fist as he learned, and responded with lines from the martial arts novel: "I have admired the general's name for a long time, and I hope to forgive my sins." I wonder what the general is doing here? ”
You are not polite, and immediately sat down, as if there was an invisible chair. He unsheathed his sword and set it aside, showing that he had no ill will. He said, "I came here this time, and I have something important to report. Motriti, the captain of the Apocalypse Empire's assassination team, has set his sights on your Earth. She has also recruited a planet named Chrisselis to work together against you. ”
"Oh?" Barana couldn't help but let out a question, and asked carefully, "Are you talking about her alone, not the entire Apocalypse Empire?" ”
"Not bad. She is a traitor to the Apocalypse Empire. I've been searching for her whereabouts for years. ”
"Then can I understand that your attitude, General, represents the attitude of the Apocalypse Empire?"
"I'm ashamed to say that the Apocalypse Empire was destroyed by her many years ago. There are only a few survivors. ”
"How many?" Barana couldn't believe it, "She ruined a country by herself, and only a few survived?" ”
"She and her rebels." "But yes, she alone can destroy a country, and to you, a planet." ”
The generals had already put on their translators, and although they had heard what they had said, after all, it was a diplomatic occasion now, and no one dared to speak without Paraná's instructions.
"So does the general know why she attacked Earth?"
"It's a long story. We, the Apocalypse Empire, are a powerful nation with a history of 50,000 years. The first 10,000 years are known as the Age of Miracles, and countless artifacts were created during that era. In the following 10,000 years, due to the division of various forces, the country continued to have civil wars, resulting in the destruction or loss of most of the artifacts. And part of the most powerful artifact of it, five thousand years ago, was hidden from me on Earth.
"Later, Motrite stole another part of the artifact, and although I couldn't find it, only the complete artifact could exert its power, so I put the last part in the ancient sacred site of the Apocalypse Empire, and set up a huge barrier to prevent Motriti from entering the planet.
"The Holy Land Barrier was originally only set up to prevent Motriti from entering. Therefore, the alert module of the enchantment is based on the combat effectiveness of living organisms, so that I can respond effectively in case Motriti breaks through the barrier one day, or her subordinates enter the barrier. You and the soldiers of your fleet together failed to trigger the Enchantment's alarm module. And when Chriselis's army entered the barrier, it finally set off the alarm and alarmed me. ”
The fleet's 200,000 soldiers also failed to trigger the enchantment's alarm, and Parana felt that he was covering up the fact that the enchantment was out of order. At this time, how could Barana have imagined that the combat effectiveness of Motriti alone was a hundred times higher than that of his Third Fleet.
"Actually, your excavations in the Holy Land have long been discovered by Motriti. She couldn't enter the Holy Land herself, so she hired Chrissyrus as a helper. And when Chrisselis fought you in the Holy Land, she rushed back to Earth and attacked your fleet. ”
Only Parana knew the news of the total annihilation of the three fleets, but he restrained the shock in his heart and did not let his emotions show on his face. It seems that my conjecture was correct, he thought to himself, and sure enough, a strange force was at work.
"Actually, just three artifacts are on Mercury." Christina appeared on the screen in the conference room again. "And one of them is missing."
"Missing?" Jun frowned, "Motriti was just defeated by me, and it shouldn't be in the solar system again for the time being." Could it be that someone else is coveting an artifact? ”
"Maybe Christelis did it." Paraná answered, "We just discovered his spy within us. ”
Although I don't know what Jun's strength is, if I can deal with Chrisselis with the enemy, then the earth will undoubtedly be a little safer. So it was wisest to blame Chrisselis for the disappearance of the artifact at this point.
Who knew that Jun's expression did not change, he just nodded lightly, and Parana saw this, and decided to make his words clear: "Since Motriti has formed an alliance with Christelis, is the general interested in forming an alliance with our earth?" ”
Jun shook his head: "Our Apocalypse Empire never intervenes in the wars of other countries. But I'll stay on Earth for the time being, just in case Motridi comes back again. ”
When he said that he had a sword relationship with the earthlings, Barana didn't understand it, and thought it was Jun in Chinese, so he said that the relationship between one side was the fate at first sight, so he didn't ask.
With a resolute attitude, Paraná is not good to say any further. Now that the security has been guaranteed, Earth and Chrisselis are on par. Besides, if Chrisselis really attacked in a big way, he might not be able to see death without help.
"Then I wonder if the general can help us recover the lost artifact?" Christina asked. Parana didn't expect her to be proficient in Chinese. Since the artifact is a relic of the Apocalypse Empire, it must be in a hurry to retrieve it, and Christina is planning to do so.
Who knew that Jun was still indifferent, and he said expressionlessly: "The gathering of three parts will have terrible consequences, and it is a good thing to lose one." If the artifact is completely concentrated in the hands of the earthlings, it will be easy for Motriti to snatch it. ”
"But the power of an artifact alone is already amazing! The missing artifact wiped out almost all of Io's lives! Christina shouted anxiously.
Jun smiled slowly: "The life forms on the Io Star you mentioned were exterminated by me. It has nothing to do with artifacts. ”
Christina was a little shocked, but she didn't want to miss this great opportunity to learn about the artifact, so she told Jun her reasoning, but Jun laughed: "Interesting." If artifacts really only have that little power, then we might as well throw them into a black hole. The internal energy and mechanical energy you are talking about are nothing more than normal reactions when the artifact is activated. You earthlings have something called a computer, right, doesn't it also heat up when it runs, and the same is true for artifacts, but the amount of computing required by artifacts is countless times greater than that of your computers, and the heat resistance of the materials used to make artifacts is also countless times greater than that of your computers. That's it.
As for the so-called mechanical energy, this is more difficult to explain. You can think of it as an attacking component, but the vibrations it produces now are not amplified by the stance component, and at best create a rift. ”
Jun continued, he didn't know the full power of the artifact, after all, the artifact was made tens of thousands of years ago, and even the Apocalypse Empire had no accurate information for a long time. However, he will go to Mercury to help hide the artifact.
While he was talking to Christina, Barana ordered Marshall to be informed. Paraná didn't dare to ask for any extravagance. However, since they promised to help, the number of courtesies was always sufficient, and he immediately invited Jun to the moon for a meeting with the head of state as the commander of the fleet.
