Chapter 248: Fortress of Tachino

"Fortress Tachino... What kind of existence is it? Is it similar to the Hanyuan number? David hesitated, but asked the question anyway.

If it was before, although David was under the banner of the Spark Council in Panod, in fact, he still had some concerns, after all, he only got the Cold House as a reward for helping Sister Elise.

Thirteen years have passed since the Spark Council fell, but Fortress Tachino still has a master, and it doesn't necessarily recognize his existence.

And their original idea was only to seek refuge in the Tachino Fortress, so he didn't inquire too much about the Tachino Fortress itself.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally strayed into Alley, but he was inexplicably approved by his guardian Evanterin, and he didn't mind their intention to continue the Spark Council at all.

With this reassurance, David naturally has no worries.

By the time David asked the question, the Peacemaker had flown out of the edge of the galaxy, and it was even more lonely outside the porthole, and only a faint Milky Way could be seen in the distant sky.

"I don't see any forts." Lily leaned on the porthole and wondered.

Although most people, including David, have not seen any other interstellar fortresses except for the Hanyuan, according to Elise's navigation, they should have arrived.

Elise gave them an angry look and said, "Do you think the fortress will be the same as the Hanyuan?" The Hanyuan is a planetary-level fortress that is used as a strategic strike springboard, while the Tachino Fortress is a line of defense, an interstellar defense line with a depth of 0.3 light-years and a length of 147 light-years, which is composed of an unmanned mechanical defense system established on nearly 369 million stars on this defense line. And what we're going to now is only its control center, which is, in a way, invisible. ”

"Invisible?" David raised an eyebrow.

In David's impression, this invisibility, for the most part, is either a layer of camouflage that distorts light to deceive vision and detection methods, or... It's just doing things in space, can it be said...

"Because the control center of the Tachino Fortress is actually in the gap between three-dimensional space and hyperspace."

As soon as Elise finished saying this, the Peacebringer received a sudden warning signal:

"Please note that you have stepped into the borders of the Starfire Council's Tachino Fortress, please return immediately, or you will be treated as an enemy by us and will be dealt a chrono strike."

"Hanyuan No. Elise applied for entry into the port and requested personnel identification." Elise took Margaret from David's shoulder and held it up to her.

"Something is staring at me!" Margaret looked around with some wince.

"Don't be afraid, just take you to another fun place." David coaxed.

"Really?" Margaret's eyes lit up.

And what she didn't realize was that at this moment, a special fluctuation scanned the information of its entire body, and the cold electronic sound was silent for half a while, and it sounded again.

"Scanned, key verified, welcome back, Your Excellency the Keeper."

The next sensation is a bit like what you feel when you enter a space-time jump point, a little vertigo.

In the starry sky, the entire peacemaker seemed to be swallowed up by a spatial barrier on the plane from front to back.

When the dizzying white light in front of them ended, everyone realized that they were no longer in the ship, but in an extremely large hall.

The entire hall is in a circular shape, and it looks a little empty except for some control platforms.

The only thing that stands out is the arc on the entire front side, which is a single transparent porthole, which is very different from the starry sky seen in the Peacemaker.

Here, what is presented in front of you is a complete inverted V-shaped galaxy, and as long as you pay attention to a certain position, the whole picture here is constantly zooming in and out according to your will.

Most of the star fields in the horizon are completely silent stars, and occasionally ghostly unmanned fleets pass by silently, and in some places, there is a war going on.

No, it should be called a massacre.

For example, as David saw now, a void alien army across the starry sky suddenly drilled out of a space-time jump point, and before it could land on the nearest planet in the surrounding area, the three terrestrial planets in this galaxy suddenly turned into planetary-level void turrets, and the dazzling light only lasted for a few minutes before the alien insect army was drowned.

It wasn't until this moment that David finally understood the meaning of Elise's words.

As long as the Hanyuan sails into this star field shrouded in the firepower of the Tachino Fortress, then no matter which force wants to fight it, I am afraid it will have to weigh one or two to see if its fleet is harder than those of the Void species.

And just as everyone was fascinated by the intricate influence of the galaxy, the empty hall began to sound the electronic voice that had warned them earlier:

"The town keeper's key code has been detected, and the brain is being reactivated."

A few seconds later, with the projection of light and shadow, a holographic woman appeared in front of everyone.

"On behalf of the former town watchman, Evanterin, I welcome you, I am the brains of the Tachino Fortress, Z. I am aware of the current situation of the former Warden, and I will fully cooperate with your will and actions, but is there anything I can do to you? ”

Obviously, the key that Evangeline had buried in Margaret's body should have explained her current situation.

"What is the current state of the Tachino Fortress?" David asked.

This is what he is most worried about, after all, in order to complete the Speaker's will, Evanterine really drew too much power from the fortress, and even turned off most of the logical functions of the brain before leaving, probably to prevent hackers from invading.

After all, even artificial intelligence may be hacked, not to mention the intelligence of the brain that I don't know how many levels.

"After a preliminary search, during the previous town guard's trip, the entire territory of the Tachino Fortress was attacked by the Void species 23,563 times, all of which were small-scale invasions and did not have a substantial impact on the fortress, however, according to data collection and analysis, after the previous town guard transferred all the extreme warriors away, the invasion of the void species has a significant increase trend, and I also ask the new town keeper to replenish the relevant personnel as soon as possible."

David's heart couldn't help but tense when he heard this.

Sure enough, the Void creatures are not like the people see as pure chaos and only know how to destroy, they are just as intelligent.

These incursions mentioned by Z are more like a temptation, if the defensive mode of Fortress Tachino has been so rigid and empty, then I am afraid that in the near future, they will face an unprecedented large-scale invasion from the Void creatures.

It also forced him to abandon one of his previous ideas.
