425. Leave a beacon

The real situation is actually a little more complicated than Li Nuo thought.

The Guardian Angel Group, a subsidiary of the Angel Enterprise Consortium, is not indifferent, but has unspeakable suffering.

As early as when the transport fleet was attacked by the player, the Guardian Angels received a distress signal from the fleet.

A support team of 20 artificial angels immediately set off from the space station on a planet in the Mertori system.

But unfortunately, soon the fleet came with news of the Demon God host.

The Angel Business Consortium certainly knows what kind of monster it is.

The Demon God Host feeds on flesh and blood, feeds on living creatures, and grows at an astonishing rate.

These 20 artificial angels rushed over, most likely to deliver food, not to quell the dispute.

There was no way, the Guardian Angel Group had no choice but to send an order to the support team to quickly return home.

The support team, which had only jumped halfway, immediately returned to the sea without the slightest hesitation.

This directly led to Li Nuo's failure to see the guardian angel at the scene.

For the Guardian Angel Group, it is impossible to rescue the transport fleet, but the Demon God Host always has to take care of it.

Otherwise, the breeding planets, resource planets, and large and small space stations of the Mertori system will suffer.

As soon as the Guardian Angel Group was combined, they simply used the transport fleet as bait to arrange a big killing weapon.

In the Mertori Galaxy, on the far side of Planet Mertori-19, a pitch-black square space station is suspended in the sky.

Seth-3, the deacon of the Guardian Angel Group in charge of the defense of the Mertori system, is listening to instructions from the Seth Governor.

Thanks to his biotechnology and human cloning skills, Director Seth has created more than 20 clones and assigned them to various systems as deacons to help him manage the security of the system.

As the ontology, Director Seth relies on a technology called "Thinking Channel" to keep his mind in sync with his clone at all times.

It didn't take Seth-3 to report to him, and the Seth Governor was aware of what was happening in the Mertori system.

However, what is known is known.

In terms of the details of the matter, it is still necessary for Seth-3 to conduct an in-depth investigation.

After all, Director Seth is only able to keep up with Seth-3, not omniscient.

What Seth-3 didn't know, the Seth directors would never know.

For example...

Why did that group of strange creatures who called themselves players and were also known to outsiders as "the undead" suddenly assemble near the convoy and then all left, leaving behind only a few stealth frigates with poor hidden skills?

The group of the undead is often compared to "locusts".

Collective action, swarming, overwhelming, eating and wiping, and leaving in a dash.

Director Seth had heard of their style for a long time.

Director Seth also knows that the undead need a large number of Daedric cells to make potions and strengthen themselves.

The Demon God Host is an irresistible temptation for the undead.

In this case, the undead retreated.

After a brief discussion with Seth-3, Director Seth concluded:

This is probably due to the undead believing that their own strength is insufficient, and they do not want to face the Demon God host in an unfamiliar galaxy.

On the one hand, the Unification Bureau will not help, and the undead will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

On the other hand, when both the undead and the demon god host are defeated, the undead are worried that the angel enterprise alliance will come out and make a profit.

Under the interweaving of these two factors, there is a situation where the undead retreat en masse.

While the two were discussing, Seth-3 responded to the matter of sending people to gather intelligence.

Seth-3 is a bald clone with tubes and wires stuck in the back of his head, a plain face, and a black stand-up collar uniform.

A light representing an intense flow of information flashed through the pipeline behind his head.

Seth-3 shuddered slightly, his eyelids trembled for half a second, and then he bent forward and said humbly to the translucent holographic projection in front of him:

"Lord Councillor, the Lambs scattered throughout the territory of the Bureau of Integration have sent us a message. After the undead left the Mertori system, they did not return to the territory of the Unification, and the Undead did not receive any entry requests from the undead. They may not have gone far, and are currently lingering in an uninhabited galaxy near the Mertori system. Are we going to send out special operations angels to track their whereabouts? ”

The holographic projection of the full-body portrait is a middle-aged man in a nightgown, lying on a deck chair on the beach basking in the sun.

In a lazy tone, he said slowly:

"No need. I know what the locusts think. They want to take advantage of our war with the Demon God host to steal the fruits of victory. Listen, number 3..."

Director Seth paused, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at his clone through the hologram:

"The group's Star Destroyer Angel will be ready in half an hour."

Star Destroyer Angel.

Seth-3's electronic brain sprang into action, and he found information about the artificial angel from a vast database.

Due to the lack of clearance, Seth-3 has very little information to browse, but that doesn't stop it from praising the Consortium's feat of creation from the bottom of its heart.

The existence of the Star Destroyer Angel has always been a secret within the Angel Enterprise Consortium.

Its length, mass, structure, strength, and other parameters are all kept secret, and even its location has always been a secret.

According to legend, after full preparation, the Star Destroyer Angel can rain down a mysterious force field that exterminates all matter from any direction within the territory of the Angel Enterprise Consortium, destroying all existence, including dark matter, in one fell swoop.

Using such a big killing weapon to destroy the demon god host, there is always a feeling of a cannon hitting mosquitoes.

On second thought, that's right.

If the mosquito can grow quickly enough to devour a cannon, then it is understandable to shell the mosquito before it grows.

There's another potential downside to using Star Destroyer.

That is, there is no way to recycle the Demon God Cell.

The Angel Enterprise Consortium also has a certain demand for Demon God Cells.

By attenuating the Demon God Cells and mixing them with specific agents, you can obtain a special drug that strengthens the neural connection pilot.

Pilots who were injected with the drug usually behaved more belligerently.

In the face of a sudden artificial angel death, such a pilot is more likely to survive.

Oh yes.

Pilots who inject this drug are also more suitable for helping artificial angels reproduce...

Director Seth knows the benefits of the Demon God Cell.

After a short thought, he said:

"You send no more than 60 artificial angels over, and you must trap the Demon God host in the fleet before the Star Destroyer Angels are activated. If you have the chance, bring back some experimental materials for the Demon God host. I'll send a fleet and take away the materials. Also, leave the beacons set up by the undead and don't destroy them. ”

"Yes, my lord, everything is as you wish." Seth-3 bent over in response.

Director Seth waved his hand, ending the holographic projection.

The two could have used "mind syncing" to communicate quickly without the need for a holographic communicator.

What they did at this time was more because of the internal control requirements of the Archangel Group.

Just like ordinary enterprises, angel enterprises also have a hard and fast rule of "leaving traces on everything".

Seth-3 uploaded the holographic videotape to the Archangel Group, and then used its electronic brain to give orders to the guardian angels on the space station.

Fighting the Demon God host, nine deaths, but the pilot piloting the Guardian Angel did not flinch.

In fact, the pilots of the Angel Enterprise Complex also underwent craniotomy.

They were erased of almost all their emotions, including fear and timidity.

Even if the body has an instinctive withdrawal response due to the threat of death, they will go into battle with the effects of chips and hormone injections in the body.

The 59 guardian angels on the space station were dispatched.

They came to the outside of the space station, lined up in a neat formation, with a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right.

The guardian angel of the leader wore a crown and raised his hand to lead the team into a state of leap, turning into white light and disappearing.

On the other side, near the transport fleet.

The stealth frigate, which was monitoring the space signal, detected strong space signal fluctuations.

The player in control of the ship immediately opened the chat function and sent a message to the commander:

"The guardian angel seems to be coming."

In the next second, dozens of huge figures with stubborn and sharp muscles appeared in space.

After de-transitioning, they raised their spears in their right hands and aimed them in the direction of the stealth frigate, firing a barrage of white beams.

"Boom, boom—"

The beam of light more than ten meters wide instantly pierced through the invisible frigate, catching the players defending the ship by surprise.

Before the player can steer the ship to evade urgently, the next wave of laser beams will strike.

A few fireworks burst into space, and the stealth frigate was wiped out.

All the players on board were killed, resurrected in a safe zone thousands of light-years away from the Mertori system.

"I lose ~~~"

"Really TM speechless~~"

"The detection ability and firepower of those artificial angels are too dick. My boat didn't even give the alarm, and I quacked. ”

The resurrected player complained loudly on the public frequency.

Someone asked:

"Don't say it's useless. How many artificial angels have appeared on the scene? Did you see it clearly? ”

"Probably. Uh, 50? ”

"I feel like there are 60 of them."

"Wait, I've turned on the video recording function. I'll take a look..."

After a few seconds, the player viewing the footage said in a firm tone:

"It's 20! There were 20 artificial angels on the scene! ”

"20 artificial angels, um... How strong is that? Is it more fierce than the Security Guard of the Integrated Bureau? ”

"The Security Guard of the Unification Bureau, each team is equipped with one plundership and three battleships, which is equivalent to 1.5 artificial angels. Those 20 artificial angels are almost 39 security guards of the Unification Bureau. ”

"I remember that the most powerful demon god host, it seems that it only attracted 15 security guards of the United Bureau to besiege it..."

"So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and fight the boss! I went late, and I guess I can't even drink the soup! ”

Players speak excitedly in the chat room.

Most of the people shouted to hurry up, but they were very honest and did not sail away.

This part of the people is still relatively disciplined on the battlefield and knows that they cannot act without the commander's order.

Each of them is a guild member, and if they act without permission, they will inevitably be deducted from their guild points.

- Guild Points come from past contributions to the guild and can be exchanged for cash and item rewards, which are very valuable.

But casual players who don't belong to any guild don't have any concerns about guild players.

When they heard that 59 artificial angels had joined the battle, they immediately roared and roared to start the jump engine, wanting to go to the scene to seize a favorable position and facilitate their own fishing in troubled waters.

The number of casual players is not small.

A third of the vast fleets that stay in uninhabited galaxies do not have guilds.

As soon as they left, it immediately set off a butterfly effect in the player group with guilds, and the chat channel became more and more riotous.

Thanks to the support of the Grand Guild Leader, the commander has a certain prestige.

After she coldly dissuaded her, there was no case of guild players acting without permission.

As time went on, the scattered players on the scene were gone, and they all went to the battle scene and entered the edge ob state.

A casual player said in the chat:

"Why don't you come? Those angels are fighting with the Demon God host, and they can't take care of us at all. ”

"Tut-tut, that demon god host seems to be about to rest, and it was hit by artificial angels like a baseball."

"The demon god host is also too vegetable, like a grandson in front of 20 artificial angels..."

Casual players broadcast in real time with text and voice, and some people even used the video recording function to record videos and send them to the chat room to attract attention.

What they say is true.

The man-made angels exploded in combat power, and they worked together seamlessly.

Although the demon god host can travel through space with its physical body, it is also surrounded and ravaged by artificial angels.

If it weren't for the Demon God host's natural resistance to beating, it is estimated that it would have been crushed into slag by the dense laser beam and powerful force field.

Star Ocean is a game that doesn't have a health bar feature.

Players can only estimate how long the Demon God host can last through their feelings and experiences.

Seeing that the Demon God host was powerless to fight back under the siege, some anxious guild players couldn't sit still.

Will guild points be deducted for unauthorized actions?

Guild points are deducted and kicked out of the guild?

Buckle it, buckle it.

Anyway, there are demon god cells as a reward, even if the points are deducted, it is a sure profit.

At this thought, many players broke away from the group, activated the ship's jump engine, and headed for the battlefield.

More players did not take action, but expressed their displeasure in the chat room.

"No, let's just say, why don't you go over?"

"Do you have to get stuck and jump over before the boss dies?"

"President, is the Commander asleep?"

"President, as long as you give an order, let's go immediately!"

The Commander's silence caused the players to turn the conversation to the guild leader of their guild.

The presidents did not respond.

What many players don't know is that the guild leaders and commanders have pulled a small group on their own.

At this time, the atmosphere in this small group is also a little wrong.

"Fanfan, are you sure that this is a trap just because the artificial angels didn't destroy the jump beacon we arranged?"

The commander named "Fan Fan Dinner" said coldly:

"Yes. I've explained this many times. If the artificial angels don't want us to cause trouble on the spot, they can just destroy our jump beacons. They deliberately kept the beacons to lure us there. ”

"But then?" The guild leader who had questioned him again asked:

"What about leading us there? Although it is difficult for our battleship to hit a small target like the Demon God host, just a random salvo can consume a life of an artificial angel. What reason do we have to be afraid of artificial angels? ”

Fanfan continued to say in a cold tone:

"I don't know what kind of back-up the angel consortium is hiding. All I can say is, if you're willing to take the risk, go for it. If something happens, don't say I didn't warn you. (End of chapter)
