Chapter 565: Meeting
The use of the Blood Moon to delay the Reaper's plan has succeeded to a certain extent.
The reason why it is to a certain extent is also very simple.
That's ......... There are simply too many Reaper fleets.
Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that this might be able to make the Reapers stop, but it turned out that the Reaper's fleet barely reacted much because of this, and only added a few more warships to deal with the Blood Moonβββ after all, there were too many warships, so just go up A.
It's annoying.
Moreover, in the midst of this, Duanmu Huai also discovered the defects of the Blood Moon.
To put it simply, the Blood Moon, as the ultimate aggregate, does possess a considerable degree of combat power. However, there are limits to this combat effectiveness.
After all, the ultimate form of the Blood Moon is only as big as an asteroid, and of course, according to this defensive power, ordinary warships can't kill them.
The reason is also simple, insufficient firepower.
Then on the other hand, if the firepower is enough, the blood moon is a live target.
That's it against the Reapers.
The Reaper's firepower is stronger than the fleet here, although one or two ships will not have any effect on the Blood Moon, but if people don't talk about martial virtue, hundreds or thousands of ships will fire a salvo, then the Blood Moon will really be finished. After all, Blood Moon does not have the ability to attack from a distance, they can only shake their tentacles like jellyfish to attack enemies, so as long as the battleship is outside the attack range of Blood Moon and flies kites, plus the firepower is fierce enough, it is not a problem to take out Blood Moon without damage.
Of course, if it is a living creature, it will also suffer a round of psychic attacks in the face of a blood moon, but the Reapers are all fusions......... Just like the puppets under Duanmu Huai's hands, psychic attacks have no effect on them at all.
But Duanmu Huai's original purpose was achieved.
As I said before, the Reaper harvests civilized races not simply to exterminate, but to collect them, and then transform and fuse them to increase the number on their side. It can be said that the warships of the Reapers, all of which are made from the corpses of the races and civilizations they harvestβββ are the same as the essence of the Blood Moon.
That's right, Duanmu Huai created the Blood Moon to rob the Reapers' business, and it turned out to be a very useful method.
The Reaper wants to transform their prey, either by capturing them first and transforming them, or by piercing the corpse on a metal pillar to turn it into a corpse golem.
In general, some relatively scientific methods are used.
However, the transformation of the corpse variant is not scientific, and the transformation speed is faster than that of the T virus, so the Reaper can't grab people with the Blood Moon. Even if the Reaper destroys the Blood Moon in the end, the corpse variants inside will be destroyed with it, and naturally nothing will be left. In this way, the Reaper will not be able to replenish the army on the spot.
Because of this, as soon as the Blood Moon appears, the Reapers will immediately concentrate their forces on attacking it, and this gives Duanmu Huai the opportunity to kill them together.
At this time, it is time for the Wanyi giant ship to appear.
I have to say that the Wanyi giant ship built by the Kabals is a very good idea, not to mention anything else. Destroying an entire galaxy by detonating stars is much more convenient than exploding one planet at a time. Of course, because of this, Duanmu Huai generally doesn't use the Wanyi giant ship casuallyβββ after all, it can't be detonated in the human galaxy.
But now it's different, whether it's Asari or Turi, or Salari or some other alien race, in the final analysis, they are all aliens, not humans. Therefore, it can be said that there is no pressure for Duanmu Huai. In addition, the attack power of the blood moon is not strong, and the defense power is not low, so every time the blood moon appears, the reaper has to send thousands of warships to deal with it, and what Duanmu Huai has to do is to summon the Wanyi giant ship to ignite the stars of that galaxy after the reaper bursts the blood moon.
In this way, you can catch all the fish that have slipped through the net.
After Duanmu Huai turned all the systems of the Divine Citadel races, the Reaper's fleet also suffered heavy losses, and those alien alien races were on the verge of extinction. After all, even if some of them were lucky enough to escape the slaughter of the Blood Moon and the Reaper, they would definitely not be able to escape the collapse of the entire galaxy caused by the explosion of the star.
Of course, thanks to this, the star map will probably have to be redrawn in the future......... Well, that's not about Duanmu locust.
Give the astronomers a headache to the Star Alliance.
It's not your own hair that's falling out anyway.
Anyway, he doesn't have any hair to fall out.
Hahaha, is this some kind of joke?
Hahahahaha.................. MMPγ
Anyway, after this series of actions, the number of Reaper's fleet has also been reduced by one-third, although the remaining number is more of a headache, but at least in this way, it is at least a number that can be handled.
Probably.
So what's next......... It's almost a head-to-head battle between humans and reapers.
The light flashed in front of him.
Walking out of the portal and looking at the glorious and magnificent starry scenery outside the window in front of her, Mary couldn't help but gasp. Although it was not the first time she had come to the mothership of the Inquisition, every time she saw this scene, Mary was intoxicated. To be honest, if it weren't for the secrecy, she would really want to take Xia Li and Ashelika to take a look.
But......... It seems to be a bit lively here today??
Looking at the corridors around her, although it was as silent as ever, there seemed to be a commotion in the playroom not far away, which made Mary a little curious. So she involuntarily walked to the playroom, and then reached out and knocked on the door, and then Lorena's voice rang out.
"Ah, please come in."
"Sorry to interrupt."
As she spoke, Mary pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Then she saw Lorena and ............... A few strange girls.
At the moment they were sitting on the couch, holding teacups, looking like they were chatting. Lorena also sat inside, and beside her was Augis, who wore a black gothic dress and had long silver-white hairβββ Duanmu Huai had introduced her to Mary as her very important companion.
On the opposite side of these two people, there is a girl with long brown hair, who looks full of vitality, and next to the brown-haired girl, there is also a short-haired girl, they are wearing the same uniform, they look like students at a certain school, but the girl with short red hair also has a pair of strange wings on her backβββ look closely, she still has horns on her head, and there is also a fat and long tail under her skirt?
On the other side, a girl with long pale blue hair, horns and a tail was lying on the blanket boredly, staring at the computer in front of her, not knowing what she was doing.
Fortunately, Mary has been following Duanmu Huai for a long time, and she has seen more strange people, so she is not particularly surprised.
"Ah, Miss Mary!"
Seeing Mary come in, Lorena also waved her hand happily, letting Mary come to her side, and then she looked at the others and spoke.
"This is Mary. Clarissa. Miss Christie. β
"Ah, it's a native of that world, right?"
"That's right, right........."
After introducing Mary to everyone, Lorena introduced Mary again.
"Miss Mary, this is Princess βββ of Manalia, and next to her is Miss Gruya, Princess of Regnes......... You can see Miss Gruya's tail and wings, but she is actually a hybrid of dragons and humans, and she is a dragon-human race. Ah, by the way, Miss Filin over there is also a member of the Dragonman Clan. β
"Huh?"
After listening to Lorena's introduction, Mary was taken aback, not because of the dragonman, but because of .........
"Your Highness the Princess?"
This really scared Mary, she was only a middle-class lady, and she had never said that she was qualified to meet Her Royal Highness. And right now, these two are all Her Royal Highness the Princess?
"Hello, Miss Mary, I'm Ann."
Ann smiled and waved her hand at the surprised Mary, and Gurea nodded slightly to her.
"I'm Gura, hello."
"Okay."
On the other side, Fei Lin, who was lying on her stomach looking at the computer, raised her hand weakly and waved it, just as a greeting.
"Ah, yes, that, it's a great honor to meet you..............."
At this moment, Mary's whole body was stiff, and her brain was even more blank, how to say, it was like going to a friend's place, but accidentally met a big person such as the president of a country, and she didn't know how to deal with it at all.
"Don't be so careful, I heard Lorena say that you also joined the Inquisition, right, then we are companions, we don't have to speak so restrainedly, but it's not used to listening."
"Ah, yes..............."
Nodding her head, Mary sat down cautiously, and the maid brought a cup of black tea. As if to dispel Mary's uneasiness, Lorena took the initiative to talk to her.
"Speaking of which, it's rare to see Miss Mary here, is there something going on?"
"Ah, yes."
Hearing Lorena's inquiry, Mary also came back to her senses and took the paper bag at hand.
"Actually, my first book has already been published..............."
"Huh? That's fast! β
That's right, that's why Mary is here. The first book she wrote was based on the old man who turned into a zombie by the lake before, and she joined several publishing houses, and finally one publishing house was willing to publish it, because it was a short story, so the first book would add drawings, and a total of 1,000 copies would be printed......... Well, of course, it's not much, but for Mary, it's a small start.
"Miss Lorena wants to see it?"
"Uh-huh, I want to see it!"
Lorena excitedly took the book handed by Mary and flipped through it carefully.
"Wow, there's an illustration in there?"
"Well, because there are not many words, the publisher thinks it's better to sell with some illustrations......... Frankly speaking, because of this, the price of the book is not very cheap, and I originally wanted to make the price as cheap as possible so that most people can read it, but the publisher said......... That's why this price is set, and when people take the book, they wonder why this kind of book is priced this way, so that they will be interested in reading it, and as long as they are interested, they will buy it......... Although I don't quite understand it. β
"I see."
Hearing this, An Shen nodded approvingly.
Indeed, the strategy of the publishing house is very correct, blindly reducing the price is just devaluing its own value, if someone else sells it at a price that does not feel distressed, it can indeed be sold. But the other party may not necessarily read it, on the other hand, at least this price can guarantee that the person who bought it will read it carefully........."
"Is that so?"
"Almost, what is written in it, is it the story of your adventures in that world that Lorena said before?"
"Ahh.........h However, some places may be a bit exaggerated, and I am afraid that Mr. Duanmu will be angry........."
Even if the publishing house wants to publish it, it is impossible not to change the manuscript, and for the publishing house, Mary's has a good grasp of the atmosphere and story rhythm, only the character creation needs to be changed.
That's right, there is only one person who needs to change, and that is Duanmu Huai.
In this story, Mary herself appears as the second assistant, Lorena is the first assistant, and Duanmu Huai is the eldest. It's just that at the end of the original story, Mary wanted Duanmu Huai to lean in the direction of Sherlock Holmes, simply put, she wanted readers to see that Duanmu Huai was brave and resourceful.
But the editor thinks that this is a bit of a non-inferiority, since this person has been portrayed as a fierce and terrifying appearance before, then simply portray his actions more fierce and terrifying at the endβββ after all, readers have already guessed that he is a fierce and terrible person when they first see the description of his appearance, so how fierce is he? The editor thinks it could be a little more daring at the end of the story............... Make the reader feel unexpectedly ferocious.........
So Mary had no choice but to change her head.
But she wasn't sure if Duanmu Huai would like this ending, so she showed it to Duanmu Huai after it was published.
Although Mary was nervous, she ...............
"No problem at all."
After reading the end, Lorena gave her own answer.
"Huh? No problem? β
"yes, I feel a little more restrained than the usual knights."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Is that still called convergence? Mary felt like she was about to write Duanmu Huai as some kind of beast, okay.
"Huh? I'm going to see it too, I'm going to watch it too! β
"Ah, please ..............."
At this time, Ann also came over, took the book, and then leaned side by side with Gu Leia, and flipped it up.
After reading it, what did they think.........
"Huh? Mr. Duanmu is not so gentle. β
"No problem, after all, Mr. Duanmu usually fights......... It's even worse than that..............."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Ay??? β
Hearing this, Mary was stunned.
