At nine o'clock in the morning of July 17, Hecgenberg, who had stayed up all night, stumbled to me and reported: "The important contents of the canon have been translated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info passage mentions the reason for the insect attack and the appearance of the Titan and what will happen next......"

I interrupted him and said, "Before you report, I have to tell you two things, both of which are very important. Whether we continue to venture out in this place or make other plans depends on whether what you say is more important than these two things. The first is that at three o'clock in the morning today, Simba led his army to defeat the Hattale army in a battle that lasted fifteen hours, Jiang Xu and Gaul joined forces to conquer the Hattale base camp, eliminate the most elite Hattale guards, and capture Hattale; Second, because of this incident, the turmoil of the various tribes of Feria in the city of Nebuchu seems to have been put on hold for the time being, and from dawn they began to send troops out of the city one after another, one marching towards the Central Continent Highway, and the other towards our side. The Overmars fleet dealt them a certain amount of blow, but there were too many of them, and the Ovimas fleet was so focused on bombarding the anti-aircraft positions outside the city of Nebuchu that it was practically impossible to stop them. Perhaps the army of the city of Nebuchu will arrive with us this afternoon. ”

Horganberg's eyes flashed, and he said in a strange manner: "Although this will not kill the general, it will force us back and make it impossible for us to gain the glory of conquering Nebuchu, right?" ”

"I don't need more glory, it's you who need glory." I shrugged, "Okay, it's your turn to speak." ”

"The remnants of the canon record a rebellion that year, and judging from the few words, it is almost certain that the coup d'état in which the royal family was destroyed, so it is not easy to obtain this forbidden canon." "After the former royal Emperor Freia was wiped, his youngest son escaped the ensuing massacre and fled into the Yanash Desert to obtain the protection of the Yash Guard. The chasing army then arrived, because the Yash Guards had to leave most of them to defend the demons in the Time Hollow, and the disparity in the strength of the pursuers was so great that the Yash Guards were defeated one after another, and finally had to retreat into the Time Hollow. Faced with a desperate situation, Red's little prince was finally shrouded in darkness, and used the blood of the royal family to break the sacred seal in the void of time, unleashing an evil demon army, and he and the remnants of the Aash Guard became the demon's puppet. However, today's royal family, the rebel leader of the year was in full swing, and the fierce generals in his hands were like clouds, and under the protection of the generals, he resolutely broke into the hole of time alone, and used his own blood to seal the demon again. That heroic performance proved its strength, and as a result, it became the new emperor of the people's trust, and its clan took the place of the old royal family. ”

I immediately sank my face: "Hegenberg, this is a relatively complete and beautiful legend, but what does it have to do with the present?" I don't hear any evidence of any direct connection to the current situation! ”

Seeing that my face was not good, Hegenberg hurriedly said, "General, in fact, there is a lot of connection. ”

As one of the supreme leaders of mankind, every word and deed must be recorded in the annals of history, so my public conversations have always been recorded in real time by voice recognizers. A speech recognition system for the Feria language is also being developed, and before it is yet practical, the Feria translator does it for him, and the computer automatically records it after he speaks. This kind of thing feels very unfree to me, but it's especially effective against scoundrels. I called up the content of the recording terminal, looked up and down, looked left and left, and couldn't find any relevant content anyway, so I immediately turned my face even harder. Only then did Hegenberg react and hurriedly explained: "General, in fact, what his subordinates said just now is not the content of the canon. The content of the canon is incomplete, upside down, and it is afraid that the general will be angry when he says it. The subordinates deduced the truth according to the old legends and the meaning of the content of the remnants, and then added a certain degree of artistic decoration......"

I glared and said, "Who wants you to add fuel to the fire?" Let's get to the actual content! ”

"Yes! The fragments of the canon are intermittent and incoherent without glorification, so the subordinates should at least glorify them—the Fallen Son awakened the demon with his filthy blood, and the demon's scales turned into huge beetles that covered the entire desert, and the guards who guarded the demon's resurrection became its servants. The generals of the four guards have turned into giant demonic servants, unleashing an endless storm of blood in the army of justice beyond the hollow of time. As time passed, the demon's power grew, and the moment it fully awakened, it was the time of the destruction of the world. At this time, a true king of Feria stepped forward, went deep into the cave under the protection of the heroes, killed the fallen son, sealed the demon again with his own king's blood, and became the lord of the world in the new era! ”

I nodded and said, "It's pretty much the same in the morning, it's really related, could it be that someone went into the cave to get a ghost?" ”

Akira, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said, "General, the credibility of this remnant is questionable. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"It is indeed written in ancient languages, but there are many errors in the text, as if an illiterate person made up gibberish." Arakush brought up Hegenberg's precious book: "Can you believe this by looking at this?" ”

Hegenberg suddenly became anxious: "Bastard, you dare to slander in front of the general and slander my hard work all night!" ”

Huang Yin was also unceremoniously: "You post-born boy, you don't even know a few words in ancient languages, you rely on your imagination to pull things around and fabricate stories." It's a big deal, and I can't let you do whatever you want! ”

There's a reason why the relationship between these two is so bad. A few days after they were subordinated to the Long Hatter, Hegenberg wrote a love letter to the Wild Shade - yes, after hearing the news, everyone below me was stunned, and only the Elder Hattian explained with a blank face: "Could it be that our high nobles all jumped out of the stones? That's true, but Hegenberg is too young, not highly educated, and quite lacking in cultivation and taste, so the love writing is extremely bad, and it is said that the most sensational text in it is "I want to be your pet", but the next sentence is too terrifying: "Like a humble little pet gently licking the master's whole body". The reason why these words became so famous was that Arakush was so furious when he saw it, not only did he immediately order his mage team to take turns to set off lightning at the door of Hecgenberg's barracks, forcing it to not get out for a day, but also pasted this perverted love letter on the gate of Feria's camp, and all the literate Ferian soldiers and human translators who came and went read these two classic words, and then all turned into minstrels, and recited them widely.

Hegenberg's appearance is typical of Feria's dragon bone soldiers, and the appearance of Shade as a high-ranking mage is similar to that of a human woman. To imagine this extreme combination of beauty and beast in the traditional aesthetics of human beings cannot but be creepy. Because of that love letter incident, the relationship between the two was very bad, if it weren't for this centralized translation operation, they wouldn't have greeted each other when they were walking.

Their disputes have nothing to do with me. When I glanced at the forbidden holy text, all my trust in Hegenberg suddenly vanished, and I felt that I had wasted a night of worrying and thinking - the appearance of this book can really only be described as "obscene", and its binding and style are all like the illegal publications such as "Nine Yin True Scripture" and "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" printed on wax paper that I sold when I was a child, but anyone with a primary school education should not believe a single word in it. Since this can't be trusted, why are you still sitting here waiting for the Feria's army? With resentment in his heart, he was about to beckon people to turn in, when suddenly someone outside shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

As I ran up to the watchtower, I immediately gasped: the desert around me was no longer golden, but replaced by black and white. It's a pity that this kind of black and white is not surrounded by thousands of giant pandas, but black giant beetles and thousands of dragon bone soldiers with long white hair all over their bodies, which are obviously puppets of the withered legion. The good luck in the misfortune is that they are not as big as the four that were destroyed, only the size of ordinary dragon bone soldiers, because their whole bodies are withered and have white hair, they look listless, but the number is nearly a thousand times that of the four big men yesterday! Fortunately, the soldiers of the 163rd Airborne Regiment had already finished their rest and were in high spirits, and they had accumulated experience in fighting these strange enemies in the first two days of fighting, and they quickly arrived at their respective defensive positions, and used intensive firepower to destroy the enemy under the protective wall. Occasionally, some strong enemies rushed onto the wall, and they quickly killed Hong Lei Dong and others. Despite the fierce offensive of the enemy, the security of the camp was generally unharmed.

However, when the fierce battle on the ground was raging, the yellow wind layer above the Yanash Desert began to quickly turn inky black, mixed with lightning and thunder, but there was no wind or rain at all, and it was obvious that there was a drastic change. After a while, Hongxiang hurriedly came to tell me: "There was an accident up there just now, and all of our fifteen frigates fell, probably not saved." ”

Fifteen frigates is by no means negligible for the Red Fleet, which has not been replenished with new ships for five or six years. I was shocked and asked, "What happened?" Seeing that Hongxiang shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, he asked again: "How is Overmars doing over there?" ”

Hongxiang shook his head and said: "I can't contact it directly, but there must be a big problem, and the Ankima General Staff is in a mess and doesn't pay attention to our inquiries." ”

"Can't we make it too?"

Hongxiang said: "If you fly close to the ground, you should still be able to evacuate, but you must take the direction of Chiyan Peak, before the problem of this ghost desert is solved, I am afraid that it is more dangerous to get on the ship than to stay here." ”

I nodded and said, "Then be prepared for the worst and wait and see." ”

The siege of the Xenomorphs and the Blighted Legion continued until the afternoon, during which time six major attacks were launched on our camp, all of which were defeated. At this time, the scouts of the 163rd Regiment came back to report that the whereabouts of Feria's troops had been discovered in the southwest. We immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation, and Hongxiang urged to retreat: "God knows how long these bugs will last?" Those monsters of the Blighted Legion are also very difficult to fight, and they often need to be beheaded directly with a knife before they die! Now the Feria army is here again, and the situation is unfavorable. ”

Gao Minghui objected: "Marshal, didn't the Overmaras shogunate already have a preliminary loss report?" It is said that the losses were heavy and very bizarre! If we retreat by battleship, what will happen to the layer of black pressure pressed down? After all, we don't know anything about its nature, and if that happens......"

"The situation is not necessarily unfavorable." Hong Lei Dong also objected to the evacuation: "Feria is an army, but Nebuchu's army is not good at all, and it may not be able to join forces with the Blighted Legion to attack us. ”

Feng Luo said: "I think we should observe it again, the disorder of the earth's breath here is unheard of, and something very strange must happen." ”

Hongxiang interrupted: "Hey, Goddess, a lot of weird things have happened, and this is not a reason to stay. Moreover, can the 163rd Regiment still hold up? After a day of fighting, it was completely relied on equipment far beyond that of conventional troops to fight until now, even if they are all iron men, all kinds of ammunition are about to bottom out, right? The armory on my battleship is all emptied, and it will be dangerous to hold out for another two hours if we encounter another fierce attack like the previous ones! ”

"It's useless. The Blighted Legion are a group of soulless golems whose bodies are destroyed and turned to ashes when darkness comes, and are sucked back by the Void of Time to reassemble into a new batch of demonic ghosts. Have you seen the corpse of a beetle that was killed yesterday? ”

As soon as Hegenberg's words came out, everyone present looked at him with a gasp. But it says, "This is not the original text, and I deduced it." ”

Although there was a serious sense of distrust of Hürgenberg and his artistic interpretation of the fragments of the book after Arashi exposed the serious suspicion of counterfeiting, this statement cannot be ignored. Hong Lei Dong first shouted: "I was in charge of patrolling early in the morning, and it was indeed like that!" ”

"Let's assume you're right...... That means you know what's going to happen next. With great patience, I said, "So, could you tell us what to do next, run away or fight to the end?" ”

Hegenberg made an unfathomable expression: "The battle against the Blighted Legion will not end, the only solution is to destroy the source of demonic power and seal the rift crystal in the deepest part of the cave with the blood of the king." This requires a true king of Feria, that is, a long-hated sky. It is up to it to lead a death squad of the strongest warriors and mages to complete this mission deep into the depths of the Void of Time. ”

I dismissed Hegenberg's idea in one sentence: "Don't think about cave adventures, why don't you put the crown of kings on your own head and go into the cave yourself to be a hero?" The situation is unclear, the evidence is not accurate, and it is impossible to take the risk easily with a general! Let's just take a look and see what else earth-shattering things can come out of. ”

The army of Feria soon arrived. Because there was no one to strike at them from the air after the upheaval, they came in much more people than expected, and after the main battalion was settled, it was estimated that there were as many as 250,000 people, and there were troops coming to join them in the future. The leader of this Feria's army is the Prime Minister Hardy, who has known Chang Hatian for a long time. It is said that he has always been known for being indecisive and cowardly, but after years of fighting, Feria has suffered a lot of defeats, high-ranking officials have died and degraded, and officials at all levels of the General Headquarters have changed in a hurry, and now no one is available, so it is its turn to sit in the rear and lead the overall situation, so at the time of this great disaster, it was forced to bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the legendary Sea of Death to clear the human army. On the way, the weather suddenly changed, and the fleet of Ovimas attacking the city of Nebuchu suffered serious losses and had to retreat, so it wanted to turn around and go home, but it instigated the bishop of the Feria to "someone must be playing a ghost in the Yanash Desert to cause the wrath of heaven and earth", and had to move on.

Chang Hate Tian sent the envoy over without waiting for Hadi to finish camping, and regardless of the clamor of those people who wanted to kill the envoy on the spot, he first soothed the suffering of their "King Qin" in the name of the lord of the orthodox dynasty, and then reported the situation of the time void change. Hearing of this great change, the bishops of the Peria religion all kept their mouths shut, and Hardy had nothing to do, and did not dare to attack first, and Chang Hatetian, who had only brought an insignificant small army without reconnaissance by any means, but sent the messenger back with great humility. After the envoy came back and reported the situation to Chang Hatian and me, Chang Hatian immediately laughed: "The puppet dynasty is so unavoidable, let him take charge of the overall situation!" ”

I immediately gave it a roll of the eyes: "Boss, the strongest Blackwater Feria Army under your command is still confronting people in Ciendorm, we only have about a thousand soldiers here, and the number of people is two hundred and fifty times that of us, rushing over and stepping on you and me to death, can you be modest?" ”

Chang Hatian didn't think about it: "General, you don't know as much about the situation of the puppet dynasty as I do. Hardy is a real bureaucrat who can only write paperwork and engage in political campaigns. The allusion to his command of the war was a very popular joke among the high nobles of Feria - that guy had always been full of momentum, and the most famous one was to take three thousand soldiers and horses to exterminate five or six thousand rebel elves, and before the battle, he summoned all the officers above the squadron leader level, and explained in a serious voice: 'All the pillars of the empire, in today's battle, the soldiers mobilized by our army are unprecedented, there are no less than 200 squads alone, and the battlefield is dozens of miles long. Therefore, the commander only determines the policy, but the specific details of the operation must depend on your actual command, and you must give full play to your subjective initiative and actively and flexibly make adjustments according to the situation on the spot! As long as it's good for the overall situation, Ben Shuai doesn't mind if you temporarily adjust my orders. Ladies and gentlemen, the burden on your shoulders is heavy! ”

Hongxiang and I suddenly had bulging eyes and shouted in unison, "Is this okay?" ”

Chang Hatian couldn't stop laughing as he spoke: "Hey, yes, it has always engaged in this kind of full commission, and it has nothing to do with any problems." On that occasion, however, it encountered a really strong enemy, and in a few strokes it broke away from several separate brigades, and rushed straight to its central army, and it hurriedly gave an order: 'Left Wing Guard, charge! ', 'Right Guard, rush!' ', 'Chinese Army Guard, rush! In the end, all the superior forces were sent out to entangle with the enemy, but a small detachment of the enemy rushed out, chased the Chinese army headquarters where it was located and killed more than ten kilometers, and more than sixty percent of the civilian officers of the command headquarters died. In the end, he finally won reluctantly, and at the mourning meeting, he also said unashamedly: 'The command would rather shed more blood for the sake of the soldiers in front of the front, and exchanged its glory for the victory of all, and this spirit is worth learning from everyone', and then reported a list of meritorious service, and he is naturally the greatest contributor to attracting the enemy's firepower by taking the lead in attracting the enemy's firepower. ”

Hongxiang sighed and said: "Is Feria so unpopular now, let such a guy be the president of military affairs?" ”

Chang hattian shook his head and said: "Everyone is not stupid, let it be the president of military affairs is based on its qualifications." If it really wants to be in charge, it shouldn't be here, but it should go to the battlefield of Ciendôm to fight me or go east to the Central Continent Highway to meet Simba. It's a pity that it's not idle here. When encountering such a powerful withered army, the hundreds of thousands of troops who came with such an incompetent commander were only afraid to ask for more blessings. ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th, the Blighted Legion poured out of the hole of time again. This time, after being fiercely blocked by the fire of the 163rd Airborne Regiment camp, they stopped working on the 163rd camp and turned to Hadi's army. Hadi's army was far inferior to the 163rd Regiment, unable to keep the withered regiment almost 20 meters away like the 163rd Regiment, and quickly turned into a group-to-group hand-to-hand combat. It has a large army, and it has little advantage against the alien beetles, but those who directly face the Blighted Legion have suffered a lot, often trying their best to kill a Blighted Legionnaire, and four or five of its own people have been cut through their bodies and turned into dried corpses. It wasn't until the beetles were cleaned up that Hardy had enough manpower to deal with the Fallen Legion, and it took more than four hours to repel them. During the whole process, I, Hongxiang and others watched from the watchtower of Camp 163, and when I saw that the withered army had finally retreated, I said, "Their arrival has lightened our burden." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have always insisted that a special detachment should be sent into the time hole." Hegenberg said, "Although the texts are incomplete, it is clear that if the Rift Crystal is not sealed, the demonic power will reappear in this world after it has been fully restored. At that time, no matter what kind of heroes and heroes can't save the world. ”

"I'm not too worried about that, I'd rather see how powerful this demon can be." I took a moment to say, "Can it destroy this world?" Or will we destroy it first? ”

Hegenberg couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "General, this is not your hometown, so you can say this!" ”

"A long, long time ago, someone said something very similar in front of me." I thought a little sadly back to the scene at the Samsung summit in July, shook my head and threw those unpleasant memories behind me, and said, "Don't worry, I'm saying this at this moment, not because I can't do anything, but because I have too many things to master." This is the words of a hegemon who can only be issued with enough strength. Stand down, and the marshal and the commander remain. ”

After the idlers and others retreated, Hongxiang spoke first: "I guessed what you meant, I don't know if it's correct." ”

"Just talk about it."

"A plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, right? What I had mentioned to Jiang Xu back then is even more advantageous now, the withered legion can be different from the wood elf army, and it does not cost money, and it does not need to be compensated for future generations. ”

"The marshal knows my heart! Isn't that okay? ”

Hongxiang shrugged: "The situation is not under control at the moment, and there is nothing good or bad to talk about." Just a little worried about what to do if it gets out of control? ”

"The war of Nebuchu is about to enter its tenth year. Our army is in internal and external difficulties, and it is still difficult to maintain a presence on Nebuchu, and it is even more difficult to solve the problem completely by solving the millions of Feria troops on the Central and Western continents, so it is necessary to take some risks when the opportunity comes. I turned my gaze to Chang Hatetian, "Do you agree?" For us, there are no felias or religions, but for you it is different. What do you think, just ask. ”

"Maybe it's a good idea, I agree to give it a try." "The story of that battle a few decades ago is too strange and rumored to be overwhelming, and it's hard for us to imagine repeating everything once. Although the Blighted Legion is weird, we are not afraid at the moment, as long as we pay close attention. Speaking of which, I have just sent another messenger to Hadi's camp to inquire into one of the reasons for the recent chaos in the city of Nebuchu: the Emperor has disappeared! Without the emperor, the small tribes and the royal family fought for power and infighting, until the Ovimas shogunate attacked the air defense position, and it was agreed that President Hardy would take the whole team and fight separately. ”

"Then you should start with this right away - Hardy is a royal retainer after all, and it is unlikely that he will immediately admit that you are the rightful king, but it is possible to use the strange legend of Feria to establish a mechanism to cooperate with them against the Fallen Legion. Got it? Among them, any good words can be said, any wish can be granted, and everything can be done to deceive and deceive, but the core element is: our army must not participate in the war, let the withered army crush all the recalcitrant army of Feria! ”

Chang Hattian's body shook for a moment, and said slowly: "It's really not above board, this is what the hero did?" ”

I told him in the tone of a MLM teacher, "If you can do this, you have to believe in your own ability; You have to do this, and you have to believe in the necessity of doing so; Only when you do these things can you be a real hero. ”

As I expected, the Blighted Legion was no different from the Feria Army and the Humans, and two hours later they attacked again with undying vigour. Aware that the Hadi Army, which was outnumbered, was not only easier to fight than the 163rd Regiment, but was also able to continuously replenish its forces, they completely abandoned the intention of attacking the 163rd Regiment in the four attacks that night, and launched a fierce pounce on the Hadi Army with all their might. The Hadi army is worthy of being outnumbered, and has always withstood the attack of the withered army (on the afternoon of the 18th, after Hadi returned to the army after signing the treaty and counting the number of people, there were still 250,000 in the whole army, which shows that the withered army did not succeed, and it only ate up the more than 100,000 reinforcements who rushed to support overnight, and the overall situation was still dynamically balanced) -- but after each attack, the banner of Hadi's base camp would be inexplicably raised more than 20 kilometers away from the rear, making the envoy sent by Chang Hate Tian to negotiate cooperation business run farther and farther. It's also getting harder and harder to find Hardy. At first, it was just a gift to bureaucrats at all levels, but later on, they had to dig through the pile of dead, which is really not like the job that a diplomatic envoy should do.

In the face of the envoys who demanded recognition of orthodoxy and sought cooperation, Hadi raised the tone very high at first, saying something "The old man has the world's soldiers and horses, and he has three or four million under his command." The anti-thief elder dared to try in vain to persuade the old man to lose his temper, and he did not look at how many catties and taels he had", and after the first transfer, he began to mention that "the old man has taken the wrong path and made a serious mistake, which is very painful, and now it is not without an opportunity to start over - in order to show the sincerity of cordiality and friendliness, I think that our two sides should first put the matter of lifting the hostilities in the Siendôme zone on the agenda and seriously consider it"; After the second defeat, he didn't dare to say that the elder had made a mistake or what was wrong, and he was directly ready to hand over the title deed and official seal of Siendom to the envoy of Chang Hatian to bring back, but the envoy politely refused - Chang Hatian had already established himself as the head of the orthodox dynasty, so naturally he did not need the title deed and official seal of the "pseudo-dynasty"; After running away for the third time, he began to talk about "The Black Water King and I have been classmates since childhood, and we have a deep friendship, and the Black Water Feria and the royal family are also of Feria blood, and they are connected by the same spirit, so they should not be separated from each other"; After running naked for the fourth time, it took a lot of effort for the envoy of the long-hating sky to find the unscathed Hadi in the pile of dead people, and he was frightened by the threat of the withered army, and shouted again and again: "Can't escape, can't escape, the old man would rather die than escape!" ”

Of course, the messenger could not go back with such a strong reply, and after patiently persuading Hardy twice with a mace, Hardy came to his senses. The envoy then asked, "Prime Minister, can we live in peace?" ”

"Yes, of course yes, this is the old man's lifelong wish!"

"So, the Orthodox King and one of his small forces are going back to Ciendorm, will you give way?"

"Of course, of course, I immediately ordered a general ceasefire!"

"You always promise so happily, what more can I ask for?"

"If the Orthodox King agrees to a comprehensive ceasefire and helps us work together to deal with the withered legion, all except for changing the flag and changing the banner can be done by instructing the old man!"

When I heard Hadi repeat these words to me, I thought, "How beautiful the world would be if the diplomatic negotiations went as smoothly as this!" (To be continued.) )
