Chapter 435: The Last Line of Defense of Mankind
"Will the High Priestess of Thunderclouds show up then?" Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
In the Zerg, Lei Yun is undoubtedly Xia Fei's most heavyweight enemy, and the only enemy that Xia Fei is unwilling to be an enemy no matter what, if he also joins the battle, it will have an extremely adverse impact on Xia Fei's side.
Qingliu paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I don't know yet, a few minutes ago, Emperor Wu had already gone to the Thundercloud High Priest's cultivation place in person and invited him to enter the Silent Valley together, as for whether he would agree or not, we won't know until later today." ”
Xia Fei nodded silently, and Qingliu said again: "If the Thundercloud High Priest joins, will you give up the assassination plan?" ”
Xia Fei stood with his hands upside down, a confident smile on his face, "Give up? There are never these two words in my dictionary, you go and prepare, I will definitely go to the Silent Valley, and Udi must die. ”
The tone is not heavy, but the words that fall in the ears are sonorous! It seems to be giving orders to Qingliu, and it seems to be saying his own declaration of challenge.
Qingliu and Qingyan looked at Xia Fei in surprise, the calmness and decisiveness emanated from his body without reservation, Qingyan's eyes wandered, and he looked a little stupid for a while.
……
To the north of the Golden Tent, the valley of wind and snow where the high priest of the thunderclouds lived.
Every time you come here, it's like a trial, and this one is no exception.
Udi walked into the garden where Lei Yun lived, shook off the snow on his body, and let out a long breath and entered the main hall.
In the distance, the thundercloud's bone-chilling laughter could be heard, "Congratulations, the Valley of Silence has reopened, and this time the clan will receive another batch of favors from the black and white gods." ”
Mingzhu moved a chair to Udi and handed him hot tea to warm him up.
Wudi said: "Lord Priest, I have come this time for the matter of the Silent Valley. ”
Yun nodded and said, "But I don't know what else is going on with Emperor Wu?" ”
Emperor Wu arched his hand and said: "High Priest, every time the Silent Valley is opened, it will cultivate a group of top masters for my Zerg, and there will be a lot of output with it, as for the amount of output, it depends on the strength of the army, after all, the valley is extremely dangerous, and it is difficult for a strong team to retreat, let alone any treasures." ”
Lei Yun said with a smile: "Back then, the black and white gods left this secret realm, first, to benefit the people of the Zerg Clan, and also to test the strength and development of our clan. ”
"Now that the Zerg are thriving under your leadership, both the military and the people's lives are far from being comparable to the past, Udimo has to worry that this time you will be able to return with a large army, and you will not lose to the previous monarchs."
Udi pursed his lips, Lei Yun's words were obviously polite words, and the same praise in the golden tent was heard countless times almost every day, and his ears were about to grind out calluses.
With an embarrassed look, Emperor Wu said in a deep voice: "The high priest doesn't know, now the clan is waging war against the human alliance, the elite is exhausted, it is difficult to catch up for a while, and the masters who stayed in the territory and did not move were killed by the human assassins. ”
"I don't care if I can become a generation of virtuous monarchs, but how much output I can get from the Silent Valley will affect the safety of the entire clan, the Silent Valley has only been opened once in thousands of years, if we can't take advantage of this time to get some more treasures from the valley, I don't know when the next time will be."
"So in any case, please ask the high priest to go out in person, for the sake of the reproduction of the zerg, you must help with this favor."
After speaking, Emperor Wu actually gave a big gift to the high priest Lei Yun, it is said that Emperor Wu is the king, Lei Yun is a minister, and there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, even if Lei Yun is a master in the world, Emperor Wu should not meet with such a big courtesy, from this it is not difficult to see that Emperor Wu is not only smart but also a person who can bend and stretch, and he is not ambiguous when he should pretend to be a grandson.
Lei Yun's face was embarrassed, and he sighed and said: "Emperor Wu, please take a seat, it's really not that Lei Yun doesn't want to help, but he can't help." ”
Emperor Wu was stunned suddenly, frowned, and said, "What does the high priest mean by this?" ”
Mingzhu on the side suddenly said in a buzzing voice: "King of the Golden Tent, do you know what kind of cultivation my master is now? Back then, the black and white gods left the Silent Valley to benefit the ordinary people of the Zerg, and my master was already not among them, even if the master wanted to enter the valley, he couldn't enter it, and the ban on the mountain would block the master, because the strength of the master had already passed the upper limit of entering the Silent Valley! ”
These words shocked Emperor Wudi, could it be that Lei Yun had really turned into a god and become an existence of a whole plane higher than ordinary people? An existence of the same level as the black and white gods? In that case, why did he stay in the Zerg and not go to the realm where the legendary gods lived?
Suspicion and shock rose in Emperor Wudi's heart at the same time, but the thundercloud high above had a smug look, and he said to Mingzhu with a smile: "Where is your part in front of the king of the golden tent, don't retreat quickly." ”
Listening to it clearly is reproach, but it is difficult to hear the slightest hint of blame from Lei Yun's words, it is completely proud and proud.
Udi stopped talking, his face looked a little embarrassed, as a mortal king, he found a deep inferiority complex in Thunderclouds, and inferiority was something that he had grown up with and hated.
Lei Yun was silent for a while, watching Emperor Wudi hurt his self-esteem was a very pleasant thing for him, and the smile on his face clearly said, "What about the King of the Golden Tent?" It's not like you're going to bow down at the feet of Lao Tzu! ”
The timing was about the same, and Lei Yun said with a very embarrassed look: "This matter is really difficult to do, but it is not completely impossible. ”
Emperor Wu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what he meant, so he put on a smile and said: "Please also ask the high priest to make it clear, as long as you can help me, the clan will naturally greatly reward you for your kindness." ”
Thundercloud was waiting for this sentence, since he felt the movement in the Silent Valley, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and if he wanted me to help, he would give me everything he got.
Lei Yun nodded and said: "I recently accepted a new apprentice, who is quite talented and has the courage to be invincible, let him go with you and succeed immediately!" ”
Wu Di said: "That's naturally good." ”
Lei Yun waved his hand, and Li Mo, who had already turned into a monster, strode out of the shadows, his whole body was naked, and he was still holding a piece of raw rou in his hand and was biting it, and the rou blood stains had not dried yet!
Hideous! Rampage! Barbarous!
None of these words could describe this half-human, half-beast creature, and Udi was so startled that he jumped up from his chair.
Seeing Emperor Wudi's panicked appearance, Lei Yun was even more proud.
"Ming Lie, you go to the Silent Valley with the King of the Golden Tent, everything is according to the requirements of the Udi, he will kill you if he tells you to kill, and if you die, you will die! Did you hear me clearly? ”
Li Mo nodded stupidly, and came to Wudi's side while nibbling on raw rou, the blood dripping on the rou just sprinkled on Wudi's gorgeous clothes, and the heavy smell of blood and chaos made Wudi almost faint.
"Although Minglie is ugly, he is loyal, even if you let him take off his head, it is not ambiguous, and his force is worth it, I dare to pack a ticket, except for me, no one in the Zerg can win against him." Thundercloud said triumphantly.
Except for Thundercloud himself, there is no one to beat? Emperor Wu was secretly frightened, but since this was said by the high priest himself, Emperor Wu did not suspect that it was false, but Li Mo's appearance made Emperor Wu secretly disgusted.
At this point, Emperor Wu has nothing to say, no matter how ugly he is, he is still a strong reinforcement, and obedient, like Emperor Wudi, a person who regards his personal security as bigger than the sky, would rather endure Li Mo's rudeness than take any risks, Lei Yun proposed that after coming out of the Silent Valley, he would choose thirty pieces out of all outputs, and Wu Di also agreed, nothing is more important than his own life, otherwise Wu Di would not have whispered to ask Lei Yun, the old monster.
With a sigh, Udi led Li Mo out of the Thundercloud High Priest's residence.
"Last time, I brought back a mute from here, and now I've taken a youkai with me, what do you say?" Udi shook his head and thought in his heart.
……
"Tai, we have no way back." Chief of Staff Williamson said in a suppressed voice.
When the three of them sat in Tai's office for half a full half of Xiǎo, Williamsson said his first words.
The Northern Fleet led by Layton retreated all the way to the Western Front, losing more than half of the fleet, and the triumvirate of the military finally reunited, only this time they couldn't laugh anyway.
"I know." Tai stood up and walked to the porthole and looked at the stars with a deep gaze.
Layton stomped his foot hard and roared, "Let's fight them!" Now all our armies are on the Western Front, although we lost a lot of money some time ago, but the flagship is still there, and the Free Iron Cavalry is also there! And we still have the Zephyr defense line, so let's fight a Jedi counterattack here, and then retreat to the territory of the Na'vi tribe!! ”
There was silence in the room, save for the sound of Williamson chewing on a candy cube.
Tai turned back to his seat, "William, what do you think?" ”
Williamson smiled bitterly, "Although I am the chief of staff, but the current situation is like this, there is not much role that I can play as a staff officer, seventy percent of the alliance's territory has fallen, you should know this battle, you must fight it, and if you don't fight, you must fight!" ”
Tay nodded heavily, silent.
William Song said again: "At least we still have the west wind defense line to rely on to fight here, the 1,165 fortress planets are not paper paste, and if the Zerg want to fight from here, even if they don't die, they will be broken." ”
After another suppressed silence, Tai suddenly slapped the table heavily and said loudly, "Good! Set the Zephyr Defense Line as a base and mobilize all fleets! Prepare for a life-or-death battle! ”
The decision was made, but there was no cheer of excitement in the office.
After a pause, Tai said tragically: "Inform the Ministry of Civil Affairs to prepare to let the people take refuge in the Na'vi territory, or go further through the Na'vi territory, and the military department will try to support everyone in the westerly defense line until everyone leaves." ”
The suppressed tears finally burst out no longer, and the straightforward Admiral Layton cried like a child.
Everyone knows that Tai's decision is right, even if the Zephyr defense line is still there, the Free Iron Cavalry is still there, and sixty percent of the combat strength of the military headquarters is still there, it still can't stop the Zerg from continuing to advance.
The last effort the military department can do is to hold its ground and trade the lives of the 168 billion soldiers of the entire alliance for more civilian escapes.
Humanity will once again abandon its territory and head into the depths of the sea of stars, this time, I don't know when it will be back, and whether it will be able to come back.
At the same time, in this tragic and sad atmosphere, Xia Fei, who was in the territory of the Zerg, officially arrived in the imperial capital!
