Chapter 4 Code Name "Merchant"

"I thought you were going to kill them."

On the empty pale earth, the Warlock's Book floated beside Fang Xiu, making a hoarse sound.

"I won't get anything from killing them, but instead I have wasted so much chaotic energy, this is a bad deal, I won't make a bad deal."

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand, the scarlet light jumped on his palm again, and with a wave of his hand, the formation patterns on the ground were instantly erased, and he took a deep breath and said, "I haven't asked you yet?" Isn't it your means of infiltrating the other world by stealing the records of the Warlock's Book? Just such a Nie Zheng-style infiltration? ”

Lifesteal is the warlock magic recorded in the Warlock's Book, which is a growth type of magic that is learned from the third level, which can gradually become stronger as the warlock becomes stronger, and it is also a means for the warlock civilization to invade other worlds.

This kind of magic can allow the people of the warlock civilization through the "dimensional elevator" to obtain the identity of the people of this world, and steal a certain memory, which is also one of the regular invasion methods of the warlock civilization.

Fang Xiu also took this kind of method when he came to this world, but the result was much beyond his expectations, sneaking in and directly touching other people's faces, the warlock civilization invaded other worlds like this, it was too violent!

"Lifeframe stealing is a growth-type warlock magic, and a high-level warlock can naturally steal lifeline perfectly, but you are just a low-level warlock, and now with the help of me, you can only rely on luck."

The Book of Warlocks gave an explanation, and then said angrily: "Besides, if our Warlock Civilization invades and kills all of them, can't we use this identity openly?" The reason why you can't use it is because you're too weak. ”

The Book of Warlocks taught Fang Xiu the exclusive secret method of infiltration of Nie Zheng, one of the four major assassins, as long as he killed everyone, he didn't know that I had infiltrated, this was a perfect infiltration assassination.

It's a pity that Fang Xiu can't learn this violent method of the warlock civilization, this is a method that only a hegemon-level civilization can use, and his fist is not big enough.

"Weakness is the original sin!"

Fang Xiu rubbed his eyebrows, in addition to lamenting that he was weak and unable to imitate the violence of the warlock civilization, it was also a sigh for his unfavorable situation in this world.

From the memories of "Li Xu" he obtained, he knew that the three-light-year projection range of the "dimensional channel" left by the warlock civilization was on the main battlefield of humans and zergs in this world.

This means that this world cannot be used as his obscene development world at all, and a big war between the Zerg and humans can wipe him out at will, these are the two top civilizations that can really dominate the galaxy, and the Star Destroyer will come at will.

In essence, it is because he is not strong enough, if he can have half the strength of the previous warlock civilization, he can directly push this world.

And now I can only rely on the identity of this "mysterious merchant" to get some benefits, and the specific world that can develop needs to be changed, and this world is not suitable as a novice village after all.

What Fang Xiu needed now was a world with enough life for him to reach the higher level of a warlock, and it was best that there were no high-level civilizations within the projection range of the original world's "Dimensional Channel", so that he could develop with peace of mind.

Even the Fourth Calamity needed a novice village, and so did he.

"Let's go, this world won't be my novice village at the moment." Fang Xiu shook his head and said.

"Then what's the use of pretending to be a merchant?" The Book of Warlocks is incomprehensible.

Fang Xiu glanced at the Book of Warlocks and said, "Don't you ever make deals with people? ”

"Why make a trade? Isn't it good for us to just grab them? ”

Fang Xiu suddenly found that the gap between him and the Warlock Civilization was a bit big!

Didn't he want to rob?

He can't grab it!

"Let's go back!"

In the next second, the scarlet light lit up again on this planet, Fang Xiu and the battleship disappeared into the pale earth at the same time, and the dead planet was quiet again.

………

The Twelfth Fleet Mothership of the Seventh Legion of the Northern Galactic Star Domain, the central hall is full of people, almost everyone's face is full of excitement, the Seventh Legion has achieved great success in the battle against the Zerg in the KZ6 Star Domain, and the human and Zerg battle line will be pushed back to the vicinity of the TCS3 star.

This is the biggest victory that humans and Zerg have won since the start of the war, since the beginning of the war, the battle line has been advanced by the Zerg for more than one hundred and fifty light years, almost beyond the strategic buffer zone set by the human strategy at that time, and this is the first time that humans have pushed the battle line back.

For the first time in more than 160 years of Earth time, the Zerg were defeated.

Since the beginning of the war between humans and the Zerg, the Zerg have been like a dark cloud hanging over the heads of humans that will never dissipate, they are tireless, they will not fail, and they will always fight for their Zerg Empress to die bravely.

Now it turns out that the Zerg are not invincible, they will also fail, which makes all the participants feel excited, even walking with the wind.

And at this moment, the scarlet light lit up in the conference hall, and the endless light bloomed, this belongs to the power of the dimensional passage of the extradimensional warlock civilization, the power that surpasses the understanding of the humans in this world.

The scarlet glow only lasted for three seconds before disappearing into the central hall, followed by the main attack crew of the Seventh Squadron of the Twelfth Fleet of the Seventh Legion of the Northern Galactic Star Field.

Gu Xuehai felt that his whole body was light, and his vision flew away, just like when the curvature engine was started, but it was more advanced.

By the time Gu Xuehai came back to his senses, he had already appeared in the central hall of the Twelfth Fleet Mothership, and the voice of "Li Xu" seemed to be still in his ears.

This kind of technology is beyond Gu Xuehai's understanding, and what can be compared to it in his memory is the future technology mentioned by the Human Alliance-cross-space transmission technology, but it is said that this technology is only a conjecture at present, and he has not even touched the entrance.

"Is it the right time?"

Gu Xuehai pondered in his heart for a moment, then raised his head to look at the dense muzzles of the guns that had been pointed at them, raised his hand and said:

"I am the captain of the main attack ship of the Seventh Squadron of the Twelfth Fleet of the Seventh Legion of the Northern Galaxy Star Domain-Gu Xuehai, and I have asked to see the chief captain of the Twelfth Fleet for a special report."

In the central hall, Zheng Ling, deputy general staff officer of the Seventh Fleet, walked out when she heard this, she recognized the person in front of her as Gu Xuehai, but she didn't dare to get too close, because this kind of thing was the nightmare of the war between humans and the Zerg at the beginning.

"Gu Xuehai, why are you here?"

Gu Xuehai looked at Zheng Ling and said: "I repeat, I am the captain of the main attack ship of the Seventh Squadron of the Twelfth Fleet of the Seventh Legion of the Northern Galaxy Star Domain-Gu Xuehai, I ask to see the chief captain of the Twelfth Fleet for a special report, this is top-secret information." ”

Looking at Gu Xuehai's firm eyes, Zheng Ling hesitated for a moment, and said to the people around him: "Arrange personnel to review them, strictly check whether there is Zerg parasitism and whether cloning technology is used, as for whether the chief captain will see them, I need to ask the chief captain's opinion." ”

………

Three Earth Days later, Gu Xuehai was finally allowed to meet the chief captain Xu Beihai alone, even Zheng Ling didn't know what the chief captain Xu Beihai and Gu Xuehai talked about, this conversation was listed as a top secret file after the conversation ended, and even the video file was not left.

However, Zheng Ling can guess that this should be related to the sudden appearance of Gu Xuehai and his party in the central hall, since that day, Zheng Ling has inquired a lot of information, but he can't figure out how Gu Xuehai appeared in the central hall.

She guessed it was a technology that was ahead of its time, and that was the only way to explain it all.

After the chief captain Xu Beihai met Gu Xuehai, Zheng Ling received an order from the chief captain and took Gu Xuehai and his party to the North Galaxy Star Domain Headquarters, this job should not have been done by her as a staff officer, Zheng Ling knew that this was mostly because she and Gu Xuehai were classmates.

On the cruiser that left the mothership of the Seventh Fleet, Zheng Ling looked at Gu Xuehai beside him and said, "I know that this may involve some secrets, so you can pick up what you can say." ”

Zheng Ling raised his head and looked directly into Gu Xuehai's eyes: "What happened to you?" ”

Gu Xuehai looked at the classmates in front of him, shook his head and said:

"Something you can't believe, even now it's hard for me to believe, if it weren't for me in the center hall of the mothership, I might have been skeptical, as for other things, I can't tell you, it's confidential."

Gu Xuehai didn't know now whether the magic that the mysterious merchant said in the end was true or false, but he could be sure that he had indeed encountered the greatest opportunity for the entire human race.

………

Even if the curvature engine that the Human Alliance has conquered can fly faster than light, the universe is still unimaginably vast for human beings, with the Milky Way alone being nearly 80,000 light-years in diameter and more than 10,000 light-years thick at its center.

With a speed of 600 times the speed of light, it took almost half a month to reach the headquarters of the Northern Galaxy Star Field, which proved that human beings are still small and pitiful in front of the universe.

Even though they have walked out of the earth and out of the solar system, they are still as small as dust.

The North Galaxy Star Domain Headquarters is one of the five largest battlefield command headquarters in the entire Zerg battlefield, commanding more than a quarter of the human army, and it is also the largest frontal battlefield against the Zerg, and Wang Zhiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the North Galaxy Star Domain, is also the general who has faced the longest war against the Zerg.

From the beginning of the war more than 160 years ago, he was a captain on the battlefield, and for more than 160 years, he has been on the front line, even now that the life span of mankind has been greatly extended, nearly 200 years is still a long time.

It can be said that this general has devoted almost half of his life to the entire Human Alliance, but the evaluation he received is not good, the battle situation on the Zerg battlefield has been unfavorable for many years, and the human race has a lot of dissatisfaction with this Northern Galaxy general.

Some people even called him a cowardly general, attributing all the disadvantages of the Zerg battlefield to his conservative defense, believing that humans should take the initiative to attack, rather than passively defensive.

It's just that this General Wang Zhiyuan has never changed his strategy because of the evaluation of the outside world, he still goes his own way, adheres to the conservative defense strategy, and grinds his position with the Zerg on this huge battlefield.

When Gu Xuehai saw the commander-in-chief, it was already the second day he arrived at the headquarters.

Gu Xuehai's first impression was strong and tough, this middle-aged man who was nearly two hundred years old was tall and tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, standing there like a mountain peak, although he was full of silver-white hair, but his eyes were like sharp sword light that people did not dare to look at.

It is hard to imagine that such a person can be described as conservative and cowardly, which shows that a person's appearance and personality are likely to be very different.

In the central conference room, after Gu Xuehai and the main personnel of the fleet recounted the complete incident, Wang Zhiyuan, the most powerful middle-aged man in the entire Northern Galaxy, raised his head and said, "Didn't that merchant say when to take the collection?" ”

Gu Xuehai shook his head and said, "No, he is just the right time, and when I want to ask the time again, he has already been sent back to the mothership of the Seventh Fleet." ”

"Do you think the means by which you were teleported back was magic, or some kind of high-level technology?" Wang Zhiyuan looked directly at Gu Xuehai's eyes.

"I'm not sure, our technology appeared a thousand years ago and it was a mythical means, I can't tell." Gu Xuehai replied truthfully.

"So what do you think the situation should be with this merchant?" Wang Zhiyuan casually poured Gu Xuehai a cup of tea.

"We can't understand the technology used by that merchant, and I think it may be a more cruel answer - a third civilization that is more advanced than us and the Zerg, but it will definitely not be the Zerg."

Speaking of this, Gu Xuehai paused and said: "We went to the battlefield again, and we didn't find the merchant, and there was no trace of the merchant's departure, but we didn't stay too long, after all, it was a battlefield with the Zerg, and if we stayed too long, it would probably attract the attention of the Zerg." ”

"The Zerg has been defeated, it's not easy for you to be so cautious, now many people seem to think that we have won, but we have only achieved a small victory, and even this victory does not know if the Zerg deliberately gave it to us."

Wang Zhiyuan seemed to mean something, but he didn't extend too much on this topic.

"But these are all digressions, if it is really a high-level civilization that is willing to trade with us, then the situation on the Zerg battlefield will be completely changed, so from today, you will withdraw from the first sequence of the battle, and specifically investigate everything related to this mysterious merchant, codenamed 'Merchant', I allow you to use all means, and even allow you to retain the occupation of that planet on the battlefield."

Wang Zhiyuan looked at Gu Xuehai and said, "In short, from today onwards, you are directly responsible for me, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Gu Xuehai nodded, he understood how much of a compromise it was to retain the occupation of that planet on the battlefield, and even the entire Northern Galaxy strategic position had to be focused on because of this, which showed that this general was indeed ready to fully support him.

Wang Zhiyuan stood up and said: "If what you said is true, what I am more worried about now is that the merchant and the Zerg have also come into contact, but we can't put all our hopes on that merchant, the war will be fought with or without that merchant, and the human race can't lose no matter what." ”
