In the command room of the Silver Wolf, Jiang Xia gathered everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "The one who came to the ship to visit just now is the generalissimo Murray of the god of war Ares, he invited us to visit Ares when he left, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Caesar said excitedly: "What else can you think? Of course you have to go, it's Ares! ”

"Everyone should know that Ares is an extremely closed country, and it is easy not to let outsiders enter their territory, we can have the honor to visit Ares, and the Lord of War will be very happy if he knows!"

"There are so many Ares masters, their training and education methods, they have a strong reference for us, and I can't wait!"

Everyone nodded, they all felt that going to Ares would be a rare opportunity, and everyone was full of yearning for the legendary country of the god of war for a long time, since everyone had invited, how could they refuse.

Feng Tiandu coughed lightly twice, and said lightly: "Speaking from the heart, I also want to go to Ares to have a look, but I'm very curious, why did Ares, who has always disliked contact with outsiders, invite us?" You must know that our Earth Federation is not outstanding in the galaxy. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, "I don't know the specific reason, so I have to discuss with you, the existence of a big name like Ares shouldn't treat us well, as for the reason why Murray invited us, when we go, we will naturally know." ”

......

Swish~

The Silver Wolf set off again, not returning to the Earth Federation, but continuing to move towards the depths of the galaxy's most prosperous inner ring.

Jiang Xia told Salem the news of receiving Ares' invitation, and it was not surprising that he did not object to letting Jiang Xia and them go to Ares to have a look, if they could take the opportunity to establish friendship with the powerful Ares, it would also be a very good thing for the Earth Federation.

In the blink of an eye, two days later, Jiang Xia and they had reached the first star of the god of war, Ares.

The Silver Wolf followed one of Ares' longbow-class catapult motherships as it slowly approached the somewhat barren planet in the distance.

Not only is Ares an outlier in the galaxy, but the Longbow-class catapult carrier is also unique among many types of warships in the galaxy.

This kind of aircraft carrier is shaped like a half-moon bow, with many energy ejection slots on the front, those Huya-class space shuttles are shot out of the ejection slots, and they are very spectacular when they are launched, and the black space shuttles are shot into the distance like bullets.

As one of the most powerful powers in the galaxy, the Longbow Mothership has now been equipped with state-of-the-art space jump engines to compensate for its speed shortcomings.

The Silver Wolf was anchored in a savannah, and the group stepped off the ship, stunned when they saw the local buildings.

It is unimaginable that as the eighth-ranked power of the galaxy, the famous god of war Ares, they actually use temporary buildings.

The people lived in a kind of cube dwelling pods, a bit like a shipping container, and if necessary, they were stuffed into the hold of the ship and all of them could be transferred immediately.

Even Ares' headquarters was built with this kind of temporary dwelling pod, more than a thousand dwelling pods were put together.

This is the legendary Ares?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zola came, he shrugged his shoulders, and explained to Jiang Xia: "The galaxy always refers to us as a country, but we Ares don't think so, we are actually just a legion. ”

"Since it is a legion, it must always be ready to go to the battlefield, so we don't have any fixed buildings, everything is temporary and mobile, including the training base and headquarters of the soldiers."

"Every year we also conduct exercises, and the entire Ares, after receiving the battle order, must all be evacuated within thirty minutes."

Jiang Xia was curious, "This is your home, why are you always ready to evacuate?" Who will give you the order to evacuate? You're so strong, it's almost the same as ordering others. ”

Zora scratched her scalp, "How do I know this?" Anyway, our Ares ancestors have been like this for generations, and for us, the current territory is not a territory at all, but just a temporary residence for our Ares Legion. ”

Everyone didn't understand, so they had to follow Zola to Ares' base first, Lingxiao frowned in Jiang Xia's consciousness and said, "Even the legion will have a fixed base and buildings, unless they are a field legion with a special mission. ”

......

The military hovercar soon came to the outside of the headquarters of Ares, and along the way, Jiang Xia and they received a lot of curious eyes, and it was rare to see outsiders in Ares's territory, so the local residents of Ares were full of curiosity about Jiang Xia and them.

Zola jumped out of the car and said, "It's rare to have guests, we have arranged a wealth of activities for you, we will take you to visit the residential area of Ares, the training area of the fighters, and if you are interested, you can also compete with our fighters." ”

Zola said a lot of arrangements, and everyone was very excited, looking eager to try.

But as soon as the conversation changed, Zola said to Jiang Xia: "Brother, you wait for the visit, my father wants to see you." ”

Jiang Xia frowned, nodded slightly, and then jumped out of the hovercar, letting Feng Tiandu and them go to visit first, while he stayed at Ares' headquarters.

Compared to the giant tower of Babel built by the Earth Army on the Atlantic coast, the headquarters of Ares, the old power of the galaxy, is really shabby, like a row of containers stacked together, and people who don't know will think that they have arrived at the dock.

Murray's office is about the size of an ordinary civil servant of the Earth Army, with a couch, a desk, a chair, an electro-visual system, and nothing else.

"Sit down." Murray pointed to the couch and said, "Ares has never had any guests, so I'm keeping it simple here, don't worry about it." ”

"Give." Zora threw two bottles of mineral water to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia noticed that in Ares, everyone drank this plastic drink, and they didn't even have a teacup, so Zora habitually opened the mineral water bottle and poured it into his mouth.

Jiang Xia remembered what Lingxiao had said, Ares's style was indeed very similar to the field legion, only the field legion would not have a headquarters, and all aspects of life would be prepared according to the needs of survival in the wild.

Murray looked at Jiang Xia, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and at the same time looked at the man who commanded the strongest heavily armed army in the galaxy.

Murray said to Zola: "You go out first, I have something to say to Jiang Xia." ”

Zola stood up and patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder, "When you finish talking to my father, I'll take you around to have a good time, after all, you are the first friend in my life who is not from Ares." ”

Syllable~

Zola took the door and went out, Murray stared at Jiang Xia's somewhat indifferent face, "Do you think we are too unkind?" No outsiders are allowed to enter the territory, nor are we allowed to associate with our own people and outsiders? ”

Jiang Xia shook his head, "No, I think Ares is of high quality. ”

Murray frowned, "You say quality? ”

Jiang Xia explained: "What I saw in Ares is completely the code of conduct of the top legions, which does not allow outsiders to access, and naturally isolates the possibility of spy invasion, if it was in the past, I may not think there is anything to do this, but when I saw that the Zerg can invade the human brain and then control the human mind, I realized how wise you are to be isolated from the galaxy like this." ”

"In fact, with Ares's status today, you could have built huge cities and entertainment facilities, and had a more comfortable life, but you don't, you still live in alloy houses that can be moved at any time, live in the wilderness without amenities, drink wartime drinking water, and eat war canned food and compressed food."

"To be honest, if it weren't for what I saw with my own eyes, it would be really hard to imagine that as the high god of war Ares, you are more qualified to enjoy than anyone else in the galaxy, but you have not forgotten your true colors, and you are still demanding yourself with the high standards of a real field legion."

"I didn't come in vain this time, because I met a group of real soldiers here."

Listening to Jiang Xia's words, Murray's eyes softened a lot.

"Don't forget your true colors." Murray looked out the window at the rows of simple container houses, and said in a slightly bitter voice: "You think too highly of us, we are also human beings, and we also like to have fun, but we know better than other people in the galaxy, now is by no means the time for pleasure, the seemingly prosperous galaxy, in fact, crises are everywhere." ”

"As long as the threat of the Zerg exists, we must hold on to our beliefs and fight."

His gaze turned back and fell on Jiang Xia's body, and Murray said in a deep voice: "Your battleship is called the Silver Wolf?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded.

"Where did it come from?" Murray's eyes were slightly cold, staring at Jiang Xia and asking.

......

When Jiang Xia met Murray, it was still noon local time, and now, the sky was completely dark.

In a few hours, Jiang Xia told Murray most of his experiences in Andromeda.

Murray's nerves have been changing rapidly with Jiang Xia's narration, sometimes surprised, sometimes angry, sometimes confused.

When Jiang Xia finished speaking, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he immediately picked up the mineral water and poured a few sips, but Murray's eyes widened and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Jiang Xia nodded, "It's true, there are many things that I haven't even reported to my own commander, and you are the first to know." ”

Murray's eyes flashed, "Why did you choose to tell me?" ”

Jiang Xia stared at Murray's eyes and said word by word: "Because I have an intuition that if I tell others about my experience, they will think I'm crazy, and you, I don't know why, I think you should be able to understand." ”

"It's dangerous now, when I set off from Andromeda, there was already a very serious tribal war there, the melee of the twelve tribes of the beast tribe, and when I returned to my hometown, the former god of war in our Earth Federation, Lan, he was parasitized by bugs, and the hateful bugs invaded Lan's mind and almost destroyed my hometown."

"Now more than ever, I need an ally, an ally who can believe what I say."

"You and I have seen it with our own eyes in the Immortal Spring Empire, although I don't know what the Zerg wants, but I think that the Zerg who have been living in the dark space have begun to try to invade the galaxy, which is by no means a good sign."

Murray sat in his place, squeezing his temples with his fingers in pain.

"I believe you, but you don't understand that the most important thing in everything you just said is not the Zerg, nor the war in the galaxy, none of that is the point."

Jiang Xia was stunned and puzzled: "Isn't the melee between the galaxy and Andromeda important?" A lot of people will die. ”

Murray shook his head, "It's not important, it's the power behind it all." ”

"You said you met a humanoid crystal beast in Andromeda?"

Jiang Xia said: "Yes, according to the incomplete information I have gathered, that guy seems to be called the Night King." ”

"The Night King," Murray was heartbroken, his hands clenched into fists, his voice hoarse and low, "I didn't expect them to really succeed..."
