Chapter VI: Deterrence by force
In the face of the dragon girl's strong operation, everyone present, including Eru Lomei, was shocked by her to the point of speechlessness.
Evan didn't say anything, but returned the plate of meat to Gogorella, and forbade her to cut her own tail in the future, saying that she couldn't afford this kind of food.
Gogo Ruila took the slice of meat aggrieved and said very obediently that she would not do it again - and then silently finished the plate of meat, which made everyone feel a stomachache for a while.
......
After that, a few quiet months passed in a flash, and the Western Energy Center was officially completed.
Evan also told the Taltan people the good news as soon as possible.
After the Apostle Antun got the news, he almost couldn't wait to rush over, and then lay directly in the energy center, motionless and enjoying the delicious energy. After this super big turtle had eaten and drunk enough, Evan gave it a task - to deter the three dogs of the Federation!
Although the Far Eastern Alliance is on the defensive in the confrontation, it is not something that can be threatened.
The three dogs, Eton, Norospa, and Elstar, have been bouncing around for too long, and it's time to give them eye medicine.
One-one-one-one-one-one
Eaton Star, Nilantodd District.
The outside world is shrouded in an impermeable layer of heavily polluted haze, and there is a lifeless wasteland everywhere, but the interior of the SAR is indeed a scene full of greenery; a refreshing breeze blows through the lake, carrying the coolness of the clear lake water over the forest, making a rustling sound.
The surface of the lake is sparkling, caressed by the breeze, rippling layer upon layer, near the lakeshore floats a wooden paddle boat, in which sits a pair of extraordinary, rich father and son, the two are quietly fishing, the father is still taking the opportunity of fishing to teach his son the philosophy of life:
"Business is like fishing, you don't just have to know when to cast the bait, you have to be patient. β
We've been floating here for four hours, and your bucket is still empty. β
The son can recite everything he hears when he hears this set of words, so he is very impatient.
Compared to his impatient son, the father seemed very calm, lit his pipe with one hand, and then said while sipping: "Don't be discouraged when you can't catch a fish sometimes, it may not be your fault, but the staff are overfed." When the fish are hungry, they will naturally bite the hook...... And lo and behold!"
At that moment, he picked up the hook with all his might, and a fat spotted bass jumped high along the line, and then landed in the bucket with a 'poof'.
β......β
The son had nothing to say but nodded vigorously.
The father was about to criticize him triumphantly, when suddenly a hurricane swept across the lake from top to bottom, stirring up huge waves that caused the wooden oarboat to shake violently from side to side, and both father and son threw away their fishing rods at the same time, and fell to the bottom of the boat in embarrassment, and almost fell into the water with a jolt.
Like a surfboard, the paddle boat is tossed high by the waves and then thrown into the lake.
Father and son felt the hull of the boat climb up, shoot down a steep slope, and then paddle a long distance, slamming into the trees by the lake.
After they climbed out of the hull of the boat in a daze, they immediately collapsed in the shade on their backs, rested for a while, and the son was the first to regain normal vision.
β......β
His gaze passed through the branches and fell on the sky above him, the azure artificial sky had crumbled, revealing a leaden gray canopy outside. At this moment, the entire sky covered by heavy pollution and haze, conspicuous ripples are rippling in circles.
Immediately after, a buzzing sound came from high in the sky, the sound was a bit like the sound of a steel furnace running at full power, and the huge noise continued to increase, and the haze that covered the sky gradually turned red, as if it was stained red by blood plasma, revealing a creepy dark red.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?" "My father was old and frail, and he was obviously not recovering yet, and he kept rubbing his temples with his hands.
"It seems worse than an earthquake!"
Without saying a word, the son picked up his father and ran in the direction of the restaurant, and it was at this time that the second hurricane arrived as expected, and the sky seemed to boil with haze, and the rich blood color melted into it, making the sky appear to be flowing with a thick layer of magma.
The hurricane brought a huge wave to the lake, and the young man roared and rushed forward desperately, faster and faster, beyond the limit of normal days. Behind him, the waves were like a giant hand, slapping on the wooden paddle boat with a brush, directly turning it into hundreds of pieces of tattered wood.
The father and son were quickly submerged by the ensuing lake, but fortunately they had avoided the flood peak, only to stumble in the wash, and then struggled to hold on to the trees beside them.
When the water slowly receded, they helped each other up and trudged forward in the muddy environment.
"What the hell is going on? Is it not safe even in the SAR now?" the son couldn't help but ask.
β......β
The father did not answer, and walked forward quickly in silence, but many things were thought of in his heart.
From the acceptance of the Sixth Fleet garrison on Eaton, to the declaration of hostility with the Menes Empire at the top, to the establishment of the Far East Military Alliance...... Finally to the anomaly that happened today.
There seems to be some kind of connection to everything!
......
Norospa Star, Bodis Heights.
At the top of the plateau, the head of an observatory used to observe phenomena in outer space, Nonoshiva, was almost awakened by the couch, and when a spirit sat up, he looked at his bedside table, desk and wardrobe shaking like an epilepsyβthe whole room was rocking from side to side, and the water glasses on the table were tinkling.
"There will be an earthquake here too?"
The terrible thought had barely emerged from his thoughts, and with a loud bang, the bedroom door had been slammed open by the deputy.
The deputy had a dejected expression on his face at this time, as if he had witnessed the end of the world, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stationmaster, it is an apostle-level energy fluctuation! It is radiating from the Far Eastern Star Field...... The target is none other than the star of Norospa!"
"The Far Eastern Alliance is coming!?"
The stationmaster was so frightened that his face was like dirt, and he rolled out of bed directly, bumped into his deputy without even wearing clothes, and rushed to the location of the emergency escape spacecraft:
"Fool, why don't you come with me!"
"Wait for me!
The deputy heard his scolding and hurriedly chased after him.
As soon as the two of them burst out of the observation post, they saw a circle of dark red ripples rippling in the sky, like boiling magma, spreading in all directions from a small area. In the depths of the dark red ripples, countless dragon-like black currents could be seen surging wildly, making the entire sky look extremely grotesque, as if it was on the verge of collapse.
This strange situation only deepened their fear, and the two of them did not have time to think deeply, and they climbed into the refuge ship as fast as they could, and then left the dangerous place at full speed.
......
Ayr Star, Kurant Military District.
The alarm bell of the entire military region rang for a long time, and almost all the combat flying boats rose into the sky as soon as possible and rushed out of the atmosphere.
In the large forest around the military area, the lush sea of trees seemed to be in a storm, and the emerald green canopy rolled layer by layer, revealing the gray-brown trunks below. Huge energy fluctuations swept the entire sky like an aurora, tearing light clouds like cotton wool into pieces, and the battle robots poured out of their nests, shooting thousands of wounds into the sky, and above the major cities on the surface of the planet, orange-yellow energy barriers were erected one after another.
Protected by the energy barriers, panicked crowds were gathering along the streets towards the city center, as if some invisible fear was driving them forward.
In the city close to the military district, everyone flocked to the central square with pale faces, as if they were gathered together to make them feel a little safe.
The local mayor knelt in front of the statue of the god in the city hall and prayed silently, while complaining that the Federation was fooling around, forcing the Menes Empire into the Far Eastern Alliance;
The crowd in the central square, at this time, was similar to the mayor's thoughts, and only on the eve of the war began to miss the beauty of peace.
"The Menes Empire has no grievances with us, why did we help the Alliance people deal with them?
"We've been betrayed! The Federation doesn't care if the Els live or die!"
"Two super forces are confronting, what's the point of us getting involved?
Under great fear and repression, people began to organize themselves and shout out against the government's treachery.
