(I'm still asking for a monthly pass, and I won't forget this stubble this month until the day after the end of the month!! ）

The three expeditionary forces that rushed to the front line to raid the Fallen Apostle Scientific Research World Continent had already engaged the enemy, and they used the Void Rift in the three World Continent as a breakthrough point to successfully slam the enemy's defense line, and the scale of those Void Rifts was larger than we expected, which gave the expeditionary force great convenience. According to the information fed back from the front, the soldiers could almost imagine how violent the out-of-control experimental subject was before leaving the territory of the Fallen Apostle - "it" was like an angry bullet, piercing through several worlds in a row, leaving a terrifying blood hole the size of a planet in one universe after another, and the sovereign world of the Fallen Apostle was "bleeding endlessly" because of this, and one planet after another was erased from history due to the evaporation of information, which was a terrifying loss for the scientific research world. This means that much of the new material will be erased from any account in the most complete way possible, unless it is preserved in a database in the Psychic Network, though obviously what is still being studied will not appear in the public database.

At a moment that Lin Xue deliberately chose (this moment may help to steer the future in a better direction, but the eldest lady would never explain why she chose it this way, and in her words, a certain wooden head is not enough to understand the power of butterfly wings - I regret this), the Imperial Admiral and the Royal Fleet have left Starport, and under the cover of the Death Courtyard System, we are rapidly approaching the territory of the Fallen Apostle along the safe hidden path that the expeditionary force has explored before. However, instead of heading to any of the three scientific realms that are in the midst of war, we headed towards a void zone that had never appeared in the coordinate library (the void information band where there may be worlds or other entities), heading for the path that had been explored by the expeditionary force at first, but had already entered an unfamiliar area after three jumps. As you might guess, this direction was also indicated by the eldest lady, and although she didn't understand what was on the navigator, she knew what symbols should be displayed on the navigator in a suitable future. Of course. She could only indicate a vague location, according to which the fleet could not enter any of the definite ordered realms, after all, she could not directly locate the escaped test subject, and the information obtained through indirect positioning was always vague, but that was enough, and the fleet could already save a lot of time.

Let's be honest. I envy the eldest lady's ability to manipulate the navigator without being able to read it at all, which is obviously invincible in the exam. It should be possible to replace "choose C**". After all, it's the same for me: I don't understand what it is, but I can still fill in the answer......

As the fleet progressed, our communication with the three front-line forces remained open, the headquarters had moved to the bridge of the Imperial Admiral, and Sandora and the senior staff officers were directing three battles that broke out at the same time from infinity away, and I was pretending to help with advice, and Lilina was pretending to admire. Asa pretends she's serious—but in fact, in addition to sitting upright, she's already starting to bubble up her nose.

The battle on the front line lasted more than ten minutes. When the Emperor ** and the Fallen Apostles had entered the official battle, a front-line commander suddenly sent back information: "Your Majesty! Something isn't quite right here! ”

Sandora's eyes immediately flickered: "Report your findings." ”

"Your Majesty. The garrison was far below expectations, and I mean the enemy's mobile forces - the heaviest artillery fire we encountered came from the semi-fixed Sentinel Fortress and Battlefortress in space, and the Fallen Apostles had less than half the number of ships! ”

I glanced at Sandora, "Could it be that the test subject knocked out too many ships when he ran, so the Fallen Apostle now has no ships to use?" You must know that at that time, in the Ruins World Realm, we defeated the main force of that Harran. ”

"No matter how great their losses are in the encounter in the Ruined World, the remaining fleets on the mainland can't be dealt with by a mere half-void creature," Sandora said quickly, "The strongest in the empire is the fleet, not an individual, you can't beat a fleet, let alone just a replica, God knows where those ships are." ”

"At least for now, that's a good thing," my sister interjected, asking Sandora, "but should we be careful of our rear?" ”

Sandora's eyes narrowed, "You mean, the Fallen Apostles may have been aware of the movements of the Imperial fleet, and they appeared ignorant in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and in turn raided Shadow City or other Imperial territories?" ”

The sleepy shallow listened to a rough idea, and suddenly opened his mouth to summarize an idiom: "Siege Shu to save Zhao ......"

I thought about it for a long time before I reacted, what she wanted to say was to save Zhao ...... Wei

Sandora's expression became serious, it was clear that her sister's worries were not impossible in her opinion, the Fallen Apostles were the most dangerous enemies imaginable, they were as harmful as the Abyss, and much more cunning than the latter, you had to guard against their damage as much as Lilina.

I couldn't help but cast my eyes on the eldest lady, and the other party squinted slightly, and there was a white light flashing in his eyes: "Fifty percent chance." ”

I indicated that I needed her to explain.

Lin Xue showed an apologetic expression on her face: "There are two futures appearing at the same time, I have never encountered this situation, the first future, the Fallen Apostle lost three worlds in this raid, we won a big victory and found the so-called 'clone' that caused trouble, the second future, they counterattacked the Shadow City, we almost lost the revenge army base and half of the arsenal, the two futures appeared at the same time, completely overlapped, I don't know what happened to the Dao, but ...... It seems that some previous prophecy touched a paradox that caused the screening mechanism in my head to go wrong, now what do you decide? ”

The eldest lady's prophecy has never appeared in this serious contradiction, she has always had only two answers: I saw it, or I didn't see it, even if the other party's interference was serious, it was just a little vague to see something, but now. She saw two almost completely opposite directions at the same time, which made several of us look at each other worriedly, but Lin Xue still remained calm: "For the time being, I can feel it, this is temporary, now let's think about what we should do, whether to go back to Shadow City, or continue to intercept that test subject-I have to warn you." The experiment was a troublesome one, and although I couldn't see the identity of the other party in several predictions, as long as it involved that target, I was in a bad mood and had the urge to beat people. ”

Sandora watched my reaction, she was a military strategist, but she wasn't good at relying on her instincts to decide things. At this point she wanted to see my opinion, and I thought about it for a while. With a vigorous wave of his hand: "The fleet continues to move forward." Let the Shadow City strengthen its vigilance, and the departed garden will be fully powered, and any abnormal information explosion in the void will be immediately saturated and struck. ”

Finally, I shrugged at Sandora, "That's all I can think of." ”

"Stupid methods often work too," Sandora nodded, refocusing her attention on the battle report, "Detachments 1 and 3 have detonated those 'bombs' located near the Void Breach. The Void Erosion in the Target Realm is now rapidly intensifying, and the enemy's sentry posts near the rift and the facilities that are filling the rift have suffered severe damage. The military objective is half accomplished. ”

Everything that followed seemed to be in our plan, and the Fallen Apostle's severely inadequate defenses were quickly overwhelmed by the Imperial fleet. Maybe those guys who are already mentally unhealthy didn't expect that they would be bombarded by the fleet on their own soil (of course, they didn't expect that the emperor already had the conditions to listen to their communications: equipment, and experts), and the slow reaction at the beginning caused them huge casualties, and then the "gifts" that the raiding fleet put down in the void rift, these gifts caused the all-dimensional rift in space, which was originally only half a moon's size, to skyrocket to the size of a star in a thousandth of a second, faster than the speed of light, All the battlestars set up by the Fallen Apostles were destroyed, torn to shreds by the rampaging Void force, and all the military operations that followed were measured in minutes, with the Raid Landing Craft sending the raven-trained humanoid nukes to the scientific planet that had been plowed by the ship's guns several times, and after the looting dismantling of some databases, the humanoids burned all the equipment, and of course - they left behind the husk of the research facility.

However, we don't think that we can take this opportunity to snatch many technologies from the research facilities of the Fallen Apostles, everyone knows that there are actually two kinds of strongest technologies in the Xiling Empire, one is the Ghost Energy Technique, and the other is all kinds of self-destruction...... The databases that were violently dismantled turned out to have all been emptied by their original operators.

Of course, there is also a regret that the three worlds where we have the coordinates are the focus of scientific research, for a scientific research base, without scientific and technological information, there is actually no value of looting, and this attack carried out by the emperor ** is destined to only cause damage to the enemy but cannot win much benefit to the new empire.

But it's better than nothing.

The fast-moving ship that was the first to rush through the line of defense crossed a spiral trajectory in space at sub-light speed, as if outlining a large number of intricate lines behind the Fallen Apostle Line, and then charged the enemy again from the flank before the enemy's counter-artillery fire descended. The Fallen Apostle spaceship, which had already reacted, was obviously very aware of the fighting style of its former compatriots, and the frigate cluster located on the periphery began to disperse at maximum speed, and in the face of the assault spaceship that was known for its high firepower and explosive power, the frigate with weak defense gave up the joint shield and turned to space and mobility against the Imperial fleet, and the rear of the defense line began to melee with 10,000 kilometers as the basic unit, and battle damage began to appear frequently in the fleets of both sides.

After the second wave of assault ships detonated the "bomb" and opened a huge void rift, they chose to form a temporary fortress, and some specially designed devices stretched out from the ship's armor plate, combining three to four spaceships into a strange-looking space fortress, these block-like combinations produced a joint shield that far exceeded one equal to two, and at the same time, the energy light traveled on the armor plate, focusing into a powerful artillery strike, which was a combination of attack and defense—— This structure was created after Carter's suggestion and Tavel's targeted research, comparing the ships used by the Fallen Apostles to regular Imperial warships. The most obvious advantage is to use the furious Abyss Force to increase the explosive power of all equipment, their attack power in the first three waves will be stronger than any ordinary ship, in response to this situation, the Sixth Fleet has experimentally improved its tactics and equipment, the small ships have greatly increased the explosive speed, and the large ships have worked on the combined shield and cluster artillery, in order to withstand the enemy's fire in the deadly first round of attacks, and then it will be much easier - the Abyss Force is still harmful to the Fallen Apostles. Their artillery can't sustain over-limit fire for a long time, and the gang of grandsons is powerless to follow - now, the new tactics provided by the third intelligence core for us have shown results, and in the frontal battlefield, the emperor ** has shown a suppressive posture for the first time.

"Enemy reinforcements appear in twenty minutes," Lin Xue muttered as she rubbed her already aching forehead, some kind of unconfirmed interference that always made it difficult for her to concentrate. "Thirteen minutes later, the gravitational trap they used to block the battlefield began to periodically weaken, and that was the perfect time to evacuate. Third detachment. Your timing is in the fifteenth minute. ”

"The fleet understands." The front-line commander replied immediately.

"Their universe seems empty," Sandora was already studying the environmental monitoring reports coming back from the front, and the scans from the 423,000 deep space probes were gradually sketching a bizarre picture of the Fallen Apostles' territory, "except for the man-made planets of the madmen, the number of distant celestial bodies is extremely rare, and there are almost no formed stars or planets in deep space, and the ten billion light-years scanned. All of the mass comes from clouds that are undergoing chaotic chemical reactions at high speeds, with dark mass zones typically having a radius of millions of light-years. It looks like a crumpled galaxy, the latter is just some empty space. It doesn't even have dark matter, but it has a 'mass' attribute, is this what the worldly realm that was destroyed by the abyss looks like after being spliced together? ”

"This hellish place is definitely provoking the dignity of scientists, Tavir will be excited," Lin Xue muttered while covering her head, "There is no need for our soldiers to die in this kind of place, prepare to let them retreat." ”

Sandora stared at the information screen in front of her, "No, wait, they just infiltrated an abandoned spacestar and might have discovered something." ”

Almost as Sandora's voice fell, a front-line commander sent back a message: "Your Majesty! We found a log file that we didn't have time to empty! ”

The log file was quickly deciphered, a set of unencrypted routine messages with a damage report on it.

"The subject has been dormant for a short period of time after losing control, and then suddenly erupted and attacked multiple worlds in succession, and the research institute that was attacked recorded the subject's most recent movement in the hope of locking on to the target's next action," Sandora flipped through the information transmitted from the front line, "According to the prediction, the subject may attack a window universe called CX-8, from which the Fallen Apostle can jump directly into an area that the Fallen Apostle cannot monitor, and the subject will be able to escape completely...... I know where the enemy's warships have gone! ”

There was already a clear expression on our faces: there is no doubt that the enemy has discovered the clues of the escaped test subject, and they have sent the remaining garrisons to capture the target, so the defense power in the three scientific research realms is abnormally weak, so the next thing we have to do is to grab time!

"The logbook records the location of CX-8," Sandora glanced at Lin Xue and nodded at me, "It's on our current course, and we can get there after two jumps." ”

I lightly touched Lin Xue's arm: "Good job, go take a rest, and leave the rest to us." ”

The eldest lady grunted and left, and before leaving, she said, "As soon as possible, don't let that test subject be captured by the Fallen Apostle, otherwise it will be too much trouble." ”

The Royal Fleet quickly adjusted its engines, and in the next six minutes, the fleet made two jumps at the end, and we were now in a completely unfamiliar area, and the outposts at the very edge of the Macro Realm could not see what was going on, and the last Void node in the star field had just been crossed, and if the Void was a tape, we were now in the blank space between the two tracks—and further on, CX-8, which belonged to the territory of the Fallen Apostles.

"I never imagined that we would be so close to the territory of the Fallen Apostles so quickly, even if it was just an island on the border." Sandora sighed and ordered the fleet to raise the level of concealment to the limit and leap into the main material realm.

I shrugged: "But on the flip side, how many times have the Fallen Apostles attacked in our territory, Azeroth, Kpru, almost inland, long overdue for gassing. ”

But even with that, I don't seem to have much nervousness, even though this is a historic moment - the first time the Emperor ** attacked the territory of the Fallen Apostles, this strange sense of smoothness is very strange, it seems that we should have been a little more serious, have a meeting in advance, organize a day of oath activities or something? Anyway, I think it's a little strange, but there is still no sense of crisis, which may be because Lin Xue has always been very relaxed.

CX-8 is a dark red realm.

The entire universe is dark red, and this oppressive spectrum fills the entire space, and everything in our view, including the mountain-like nebula tornadoes that may be light-years away, and the huge red spheres hanging over the black background of space, are floated with a dark red halo that is caused by a redshift.

The entire universe is redshifting.

But that's not right - redshift is supposed to be based on light waves, space is supposed to be dark, and only something that actually exists is a light source, like a star or a blazing cloud, but now the whole universe is glowing, and redshifting ...... How is this possible?

"The abyss may have exploded when it came, the universe was a hot and bright soup at that moment, and then the abyss destroyed its development process, and the remaining fragments became a fragmented snapshot, and the abnormal physical phenomena we see should be the solidified 'scenery', but the 'scenery' here is not only a picture, but also a real event." The data shows that the edges of CX-8 are still crumbling, and will be wiped out by the abyss in tens of thousands of years, which is an excellent subject to study, if Tavel is in the ......"

Tavel's mass projection suddenly appeared next to her, and she pushed her glasses: "Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates are here." ”

I smiled at Sandora, "Do you think she might not submit an accompanying application?" ”

Everyone looked helpless, and a report came from the command hall: "Your Majesty! Fleet build-up detected in radar range!! (To be continued)
