Revised Edition, Volume 19, The Year of the Rush, Chapter 8, Absurd Legends

Late at night on July 16, two uninvited guests suddenly came to my house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Since we met in Huludao in 76 years, I have not seen Fengluo for many years. Her husband, Dilling, had arrived in our army since the Battle of Selmo as the commander of the Spirit Mage Force, and he had seen him often, but he didn't have a common language and didn't know him very well. It's past midnight supper, and I don't know what they're doing so unconsciously!

Although he knew that these people were the masters of the Three Treasures Hall who had nothing to do, he still had to do some superficial work. After meeting, I immediately greeted Feng Luo and said, "Oh, you are still beautiful!" Although I haven't seen you for many years, you are more than 20 years older than me, but you can still be called ', especially charming', which is gratifying. Look at the older husband you chose back then, and now he is a little hot compared to you. It turns out that more than 20 years ago, you had already prepared for the calf to eat tender grass! ”

Aunt Feng had no choice but to fight back: "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, and when I occasionally think of the general, those young and frivolous days are as untraceable as a dream, and the only thing I remember clearly is this poisonous tongue and evil mouth." Now that I am taught again, it is really a sigh that the world is impermanent, and it is better not to see each other! ”

I forcibly pressed the sentence "I didn't invite you to ......" to my throat, and tried to laugh and said: "Both of you are big shots, and you will never come to me without a big event." Dare to ask, but are you going to make further additional investments and give me another thirty or fifty mage teams? ”

Feng Luo stopped joking: "As long as the Great General faithfully fulfills his promise to hand over the mages of the Twilight Forest and Feria to our jurisdiction, it should be logical to further increase support for the Great General, and I have come to the front line this time to discuss this matter specifically." But tonight is not here to talk about this, but an emergency. ”

As soon as I heard this topic, my eyelids fought, and I rolled my eyes and started an official tone with her: "In case of emergencies, we have a detailed emergency plan and a handling emergency committee. The chairman, of course, is me, and the vice-chairmen are members of the cabinets. The committee has an office, and the head of the office is Simba, the vice chairman of the committee. Ah, do you know that explanation? ”

Feng Luo showed a sincere expression and said, "I haven't understood what you mean by this for a while." ”

This means that any emergency, even if it involves having to contact the Ovimas shogunate, should be approached directly by Simba. If there's something really important that I need to ask Ovimas personally, he'll be in charge. ”

"General, there is indeed something very important, so that I have to use personal friends to come to you directly, if there is one."

"Why do you have to be so seriousβ€”then you can tell the truth."

Feng Luo began to tell me in detail about Hongxiang's raid plan. I do know about this plan, but only because I know it. Hongxiang was reluctant to tell me too much about it, and my attention had been on the central battlefield, and I really didn't pay enough attention to this special operation. It wasn't until she said that the whole army of the raiding force and the entire Yanash Desert were shrouded in mysterious yellow sand, and I began to feel a sense of crisis in my heart. Over the years, it is not that I have not encountered anomalous phenomena on Nebuchu, but because of Twilight Feria's surrender to me, Feria's strongest mage team has been transferred to our side, and with the masters of the Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Realm, there has been no big mess. But I never believed that a planet of this size, a race of incredibly strong might be easily destroyed by us. I've always believed that there are gains and losses, and over the years, in general, we have gained too much, too easily, and what is the price that must be paid?

"Hearing you say that, I do have a very ominous premonition." I said to Pinelo, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Now Hongxiang's people control everything, and we can't interfere in this matter. Archmage Filin in the 163rd Airborne Regiment is a good friend of mine, and I hope to do my part for her. We have prepared a team of forty high-level mages, hoping to get Hongxiang to agree to our intervention. ”

After Feng Luo finished speaking, Dillin finally spoke: "It's really just for old friends." It doesn't matter if the Yanash Desert lets Hongxiang take it all. ”

I finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Eh, eh, don't let me not exist, I have the final say on who owns the land." ”

At this moment, suddenly the guards came to report: "General, Marshal Jin has come to visit." ”

"Why are there all those who come to disturb people's dreams without an appointment tonight......" I was only halfway through my complaint, and I saw Hongxiang rushing in in a hurry. When he saw that Feng Luo and Di Lin were also there, he was a little stunned, but he still strode over and sat on the sofa, and said, "You guys have something to say quickly, I have urgent matters here." ”

I sneered and said, "It's probably the same thing, smashing the pot?" ”

Hongxiang haha: "It's not like that, it's just that there are relatively big changes." This Obasang didn't know the specific situation and came to talk nonsense, you listen to her. ”

Feng Luo suddenly went crazy with anger: "Hongxiang, after more than 20 years of not seeing you, you used this tone to speak to the Engong of the year?" You had one or two thousand people and a dozen broken ships, and you forgot how you made a fortune? ”

Hongxiang made a thoughtful look and said: "I don't like to recall the hard entrepreneurial history of the year, lest others say that I am proud." It's only occasionally when the night is dark and windy, and in the dead of night, when I think back then, it is not easy to rely on my hard-working hands and wise mind to lay such a big foundation! ”

When Feng Luo heard that he completely denied his existence, she became more and more angry: "Should you be playing mahjong?" Industrious hands and wise minds?! ”

"If you continue to talk like this, you can't finish talking all night, and those people will have to die even if they have 500 lives." I interrupted the verbal altercation between them and said to Hongxiang, "You come! After all, you know the situation best. ”

Hongxiang saw that the quarrel had gained the upper hand, and he no longer pursued and killed, and said with a smile: "I don't need to tell me the truth of the matter, the goddess is probably about the same, even if there is a distortion of my glorious image and wisdom decision-making, it will not be crooked......

I was really impatient: "Don't talk nonsense, just report the situation!" ”

"After the 163rd Airborne Regiment marched into the Yanash Desert, strange phenomena occurred, communications were interrupted, optical observation was interrupted. What happened at about 4 p.m. on the 15th. We sent a reconnaissance ship in time to restore contact, but the yellow wind over the desert was too strong and the interference was too strong to complete the task. It was not until this morning that a small unmanned reconnaissance plane that had been urgently modified entered the airspace of the Yanash Desert and found the 163rd Airborne Regiment. They were fighting something strange, not very favorable, but holding on for a while. Here are the photos. ”

After Hongxiang said this, he took a stack of photos to show me. Because the visibility is not high and the shooting height is too low, you can only see some unbelievable figures. I looked at it and handed it back to Hongxiang and asked, "What is this strange thing?" ”

"I consulted with the Long Hate Heaven, he thinks that it is the Feria Sect's legendary Yash Guardian who guards the location of the evil demons, he participated in a mysterious battle many years ago, but he has not come into contact with anything, and the opponent of that battle is the Yash Guard, and they have all become demon puppets."

I shook my head and said, "Unfounded rumors. ”

"There is indeed no basis, these legends are only vaguely known at the level of their clan chiefs, and ordinary Ferians do not know at all, and it is naturally impossible to say whether they are true or false. But what is certain is that the 163rd Airborne Regiment is indeed fighting a very powerful and strange enemy. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "If it's just a rescue plan, I don't think I need you to come in person, what else?" ”

"The reconnaissance aircraft analyzed the yellow wind layer covering the sky over the Yanash Desert, and for the time being, it was not possible to analyze its specific composition. But it was indeed this thick layer of yellow wind that blocked optical observations and caused strong wireless communication interference throughout the Yanash Desert. However, neutrino communication has not been blocked. Hongxiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you know what this means?" The airspace of the Yanash Desert, adjacent to the city of Nebuchu, has become an electromagnetic and optical blind zone with a radius of 400 kilometers and a thickness of 3,000 meters, both for us and for Feria. The perverted air defense positions outside the city of Nebuchu are simply not able to target any aircraft in the airspace of the Yanash Desert, but we can launch an attack on the city of Nebuchu with precision through the satellite positioning system! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"It does look like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack, and your Space Force has been suffocated in the past few years." I took a deep breath and asked, "Does Overmars know?" ”

"According to the intelligence exchange and cooperation mechanism of our two governments, this information is shared in duplicate after it comes out and before it is analyzed, and of course they know about it. And it's not good to hide this kind of thing for a minute. ”

"It's true, while it's good to keep it a secret, it's even worse in the longer term." I thought hard for a moment, looked at Windlo and Deering again, and said, "Ovimas decided to attack Nebuchu immediately?" ”

"Yes, the official document will arrive later." Hongxiang said: "How our space force should act depends on how you think about it. ”

I asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" What about the 163rd Airborne Regiment? ”

Feng Luo suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I can't give up the 163 Airborne Regiment!" They went deep behind enemy lines to carry out this mission of nine deaths and lives, and finally reached their destination quickly, and it was so pitiful to be abandoned! ”

Hongxiang and I both turned our heads to look at her. After a while, Feng Luo found that the three men present did not speak, and finally felt weak: "Is there a problem?" ”

"You're not a successful politician, and you're not a real soldier, you haven't changed in years. Each of us in this situation must be prepared to be sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation. The so-called not discarding a subordinate can be done for a low-ranking officer, but for a person in a high position, it is hypocritical to say such things. I sighed, "Still, I like that you're not successful in this area, because you can't do it yourself." ”

"Are you going to give them up like that?!" Feng Luo became excited, and when she saw that Hongxiang and I were both calm, she turned around and tugged on Dilling's sleeve: "You have something to say, I want you to come and not be a wooden man!" ”

Dillin finally spoke: "The general and Marshal Jin haven't said to give up on them yet. ”

Only then did Hongxiang answer my question: "I think the opportunity to attack Nebuchu with all his strength is naturally rare, but if Overmars has decided to mobilize the entire space fleet, our fleet is far inferior to them, and we will not go much, and we will not go much, and there will be no less." It would be better to send a little bit of people, and the main target is still in the Yanash Desert. ”

"Oh, for what reason?"

"There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling." "Although there is no credible evidence for some of the strange things that Hegenberg said, my gut instinct has always told me that the Yanash Desert is the key. ”

"Since you think so, do as you want, and immediately start deploying. Overmars wants to fight Nebuchu even if he is allowed to fight, after all, the Space Force cannot occupy such a large city, and in the end it will have to rely on our army. I smiled and said, "Over the years, we have been in the army to help them, this time let them show their might, more meritorious deeds!" ”

This time, both space forces moved very quickly. At 1 a.m. on the 17th, the fleet of the Ovimas shogunate was the first to reach the yellow wind layer of the Yanash Desert and began to launch artillery bombardment on the anti-aircraft positions outside the city of Nebuchu. The shelling was more difficult than expected, because the range of conventional weapons against the ground was insufficient, and only a section of more than a kilometer could be cleared within the effective range. Moreover, even if the firing range is sufficient, it is very difficult -- the Yash Yellow Wind Layer is completely electromagnetically and optically isolated, and the Feria air defense forces cannot see Wang Lei's fleet, and Wang Lei cannot see them either, so they rely on the reconnaissance ships in outer space to obtain the bearing information and transmit it to Wang Lei by means of neutrino communication -- although the data is very accurate, Wang Lei's own orientation and direction cannot be guaranteed, so it is still equivalent to a blind man shooting arrows, and it is completely blind. However, even such a blind attack caused great damage to Feriya's air defense positions, and it also caused great damage to the psychology of the Feria people, who had always felt that Nebuchu belonged to the "unharmed rear". With the addition of the rest of the fleet of the Ovimas shogunate, the shelling of the Nebuchu anti-aircraft positions became more and more intensive.

I arrived at the Yanash Desert at 5 a.m. a.m. aboard Hongxiang's flagship. Hongxiang only left fifteen frigates to participate in the blind shelling - according to him, the significance of this number and ship type is to pay tribute to Overmars, saying that he does not forget that he supported fifteen broken frigates back then to finally have today's Marshal Jin's Longen (but I think at this time, as long as one less warship participates, Overmars will have an idea, let alone send such a point). The rest of the warships slowly descended below the Yellow Wind Layer with the flagship, and were generally only more than 100 meters above the ground, which could almost be regarded as flying close to the ground. On board the battleship, we received news that the second day of the 163rd Regiment's operation had been successfully completed, and that it was relatively safe at present. In order to make a show, or to investigate the situation on the spot, it is necessary for Hongxiang and I to go in person.

It's still dark, but it's a mess everywhere, and it's hard to ignore. Before I could find a place to sit on the side, I began to ask the young regiment leader who came to greet me: "Your name is Gao Minghui, right?" Don't talk about any honorable or panicked nonsense, and report the situation directly. ”

"The general is really fast." Gao Minghui saw Hongxiang's eyes, and immediately strangled the prepared pile of flattery in his chest, and said: "Our regiment was trapped in the desert on the afternoon of the 15th, and was immediately attacked by a large number of alien insects. After hard fighting, our army repelled the attack of the alien insects. Then he erected a protective wall as fast as he could, dug a ditch, and urgently built the camp. After the camp was built, at noon on the 16th, it was attacked by the giant withered legion giant god soldiers, and after a hard battle for half a day, they were finally wiped out. With the sincere unity of everyone, the stability of the battalion was ensured, and the scattered troops gradually gathered together, and now we have 1,200 soldiers in the camp, with sufficient weapons and ammunition, and basically complete equipment. We took a photo, if the general is not tired, do you look at the photo first, and the subordinates explain at the same time? ”

I nodded slightly, went into his tent, flipped through the photos, and suddenly asked, "Isn't the electromagnetic interference so serious, and the electronic camera and printing system can still be used?" ”

"General, I have a mechanical silver salt camera. Although electronic cameras have become standard, my subordinates have always carried them just in case. ”

I nodded again, pointed to the huge black stone in the photo and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the alien insect that Shicai said, its body is extremely large, and its strength is also very large. As soon as four or five soldiers grabbed us, they kept looking for our unprotected parts and biting them, which was very powerful. ”

"How did you fight back?"

"The general looks at this one. Suddenly, someone's gun went off, and we remembered how we could shoot each other with guns. Although such a short distance was somewhat dangerous, the Demon Armor did withstand it. His subordinates still have scratches on their armor from heavy machine gun bullets. ”

I reached out and touched the scratches on his armor and gasped. This kind of tactic has never been thought of before, and it can be regarded as a flash of inspiration in the moment of life and death! This shows that the urgency of the war at that time was fierce. Immediately smiled and said: "After the battle, your armor has to be sent to the military museum for exhibition, every trace is the honor of a real warrior!" So what about this, this is what you call the Giant God Soldier? It's not very clear. ”

"General, the situation was very urgent when the Titan soldiers appeared, and they almost broke through the camp, so they just started to take a picture in a hurry, and then they commanded the battle. After the end, it was already dark, so I didn't go to reshoot for safety reasons. If it's an archive, I'll go back to make up some shots early tomorrow morning. ”

"Can you describe it? I've heard Basque Bing talk about you, and you think you're a very eloquent young man, and he seems to be right. ”

The dean laughed, his subordinates just loved to study historical materials and analyze them. For those who are there in person, I'm afraid they will have to think about it and prepare for it after they go back. ”

"Alas, it's not a book review, you just talk about it."

"The situation was very chaotic when the Titan appeared, two came at first, and two more came before they could find a solution. These guys are about fifteen meters tall, and their bodies are somewhat like a mixture of dragon bone soldiers and four-clawed spiders, and they have long white fur all over their bodies. As soon as our soldiers slash through their armor and flesh, their whole bodies will immediately shrink into a mass and turn into dried corpses, which is probably why they are called the 'Blighted Legion'. At first we couldn't find a good way to deal with it, and we wounded hundreds of brothers, including more than 40 Feria. When the situation was at its most critical, I, Hong Leidong, and Hegenberg all held their shields in front. Their bodies are so big and so powerful that they can easily knock us out. Although our high-vibration particle knives can cause damage to them, their bodies are strange and they don't seem to feel any pain at all. It wasn't until Film's action that the situation eased. She was the only one in this place who could use magic, and it was much less powerful. But with our joint efforts, we finally put down the four giant god soldiers one by one. ”

"Pretty hard, not easy." I put down the photo and stood up, pacing a few steps in the tent: "Now that the situation has changed, you can't get the first skill of the surprise attack on Nebuchu, and you are still trapped here, do you have any complaints in your heart?" ”

Gao Minghui said: "General, my subordinates feel that it is much more challenging to meet and deal with the changes here than to attack and hold on to the city of Nebuchu. The subordinates are not afraid of this kind of challenge, but they like it quite a lot. ”

I said to Hongxiang: "The vitality of the younger generation really makes us old people feel emotional! ”

Hongxiang shrugged his shoulders and said: "Hey, you and I were also very energetic back then, we can't be so energetic for the rest of our lives, we have to give young people the opportunity to shine!" ”

I suddenly remembered someone and asked, "What are the other officers of your regiment doing now?" Since we are here, we will all see each other - although it will disturb their dreams, but it will be a little condolence! ”

"Back to the general, Hong Lei Dong is on duty all night, and you can come over after a while; Archmage Felin has been in a coma for a long time, and I saw that Dilling and they seemed to have helped her to recuperate on the battleship; HΓΌrgenberg was studying the classics. ”

Hongxiang asked, "What classics do you study?" ”

"Hegenberg knew a few things about the Yanash Desert, but he had only been apprenticed to the Feriya Sect for a month, and he was later kicked out by the Sect during the cleansing of non-royals, so he was not very qualified in Old Feria...... Although I carried those classics with me, I didn't bother to read them because I couldn't understand them. Now that the situation is very critical, he is not allowed to be lazy, and he has been holding the dictionary since the end of the afternoon battle. ”

Hongxiang was surprised: "This ...... Is it also the work of the head of the family? ”

"Hegenberg is a child among the people of Feria, and it is inevitable that he will be impetuous. Chang hated the sky is not as good as him, so old but the whole ancient culture is illiterate, and Feria's ancient characters don't understand at all! I sighed and said, "Each of their patriarchs knows something about it, but it has been passed down for a long time, and most of them are false, and there are too many things that cannot be trusted after they have been passed down. Hegenberg obviously has classics but doesn't take them out for research and application, and he only works hard until he burns his eyebrows, and he really should play the board. Is the shade coming? She is the archmage of Feria, and she probably knows a little bit about the ancient characters of Feria. ”

Hongxiang said: "I have already notified Chang Hatian to bring it over, but that is a key war zone, and the aircraft does not dare to fly in a straight line, and it will take an hour or two to transfer from Gander." ”

I sighed, "I hope they will arrive in time to decipher the obscure meaning of the text." We didn't believe it before, but now it seems that the historical materials or prophecies recorded in the texts are more or less useful, even if we know a single sentence. (To be continued.) )
