Chapter 131: Codename: The Monument Engraver

"Everyone knows that only neutron stars emit pulses, but their pulses are regular and their intervals are extremely short, depending entirely on the rotation speed of the neutron star. But the Monument Graver is a momentary white dwarf in terms of quality, but it emits pulses, and its pulses have no regularity at allโ€”if I have to say that there is a pattern, the only thing that can be connected with it is the movement of the swarm, so I have enough reason to think that the purpose of the insect swarm is the Monument Carver!"

Doromin's news was extremely shocking, so that everyone couldn't react for a while. They didn't immediately question Doromin's words, because the history of the 2,000-year war between humans and insects has proven that anything can happen when facing insects.

"Boy, if you have anything to say, just say it!" The old general's eyes were sharp, and he found that Xiao Ming seemed to have something to say.

Everyone's eyes immediately looked at it. The people sitting here all know what kind of credit Xiao Ming has made, and they also know the relationship between Xiao Ming and the old general, so everyone's eyes are very gentle, and they are also full of expectations, hoping that this little guy who has created many miracles can surprise everyone again.

Xiao Ming straightened his expression and said, "Hydra told me something. That is, some super-rank star beasts have special behaviors. For example, the most famous Divine Fire Phoenix, which can turn into stars, and the Divine Dragon King, who can hide himself in subspace. In Hydra's memories, there is a portion of memories of the swarm, which indicates that some of the higher-level beings of the swarm also have special forms. โ€

"You mean that the Monument Carver was changed by some high-level being of the swarm?" Doromin asked in shock. He had thought of all kinds of possibilities before, but he hadn't thought of this at all.

Xiao Ming said: "Since the Divine Fire Phoenix can become a star. Then it doesn't seem difficult to understand that a high-level bug has become a monument engraver. And one more point. That's what Hydra told me, too. That was at the end of the Dark Age of Star Beasts. Humans fought against the swarm with the help of the Star Beast King, but because of the distrust of the human race towards the Star Beast King before, coupled with the weakness of the human race, most of the time it was the Star Beast King who was fighting against the swarm, which made many Star Beast Kings consume too much, and they did not have the ability to really kill the high-level existence of the swarm, but took the seal!"

"It's just that with Hydra's identity at that time, there is no way to know how the Star Beast Kings sealed the high-level existence of the swarm. But judging by the current reaction of the biters to the inscriptions. Can we guess that the engraver is actually a seal, sealing a certain existence of the swarm? And the reason why the swarm is so obsessed with Ponander is to save this being?"

The reason why Xiao Ming had such an idea, in addition to the news that Hydra told him, was also the association of the swarm of his time with the operation of the Ghost Lake.

"Makes sense! I think what Xiao Ming said makes a lot of sense!" Douglas slapped the table and stood up: "If the person who carved the stele is a certain existence of the worm, then it can completely recover and leave on its own, and it doesn't need the swarm to come over so aggressively." But if it's a seal, then it can explain a lot!"

"The abnormal gravitational pull of the engraver. And even more abnormal electromagnetic waves!" Doromine said.

The old general and Levi frowned deeply at the same time. The two of them had almost agreed with this inference in their hearts. But each of their decisions affects the success or failure of the entire campaign, and now the reasoning is justified. But there is no direct evidence, which really makes them unable to draw conclusions casually.

"One piece of evidence is needed, one sufficient piece of evidence, otherwise we wouldn't be able to work out the whole military operation. It's a big deal!" Douglas chuckled wryly.

"Send a division to fight over. As long as the biters follow suit, then it proves that they really care, and that becomes proof. No matter what the inscription is, as long as the worm wants it, we must not let it succeed!" said an officer.

"Stupid, this will only allow the bugs to start a big war with us in advance, and it won't do us any good. If it's just dragging, then the war of attrition is not something we can afford to fight!" Another officer objected: "And how do you know that the bug's plan is not to make us notice the stele carver and then use our hands to break the seal? That thing can't tell what it is, what if we attack the stele carver and release the contents instead? The existence that can make the bugs spend so much money to save it, eight or nine times out of ten is a ten-star existence, such a monster really wants to escape, do we still need to fight?"

The crowd stopped talking, and that was a problem. Without knowing the true situation of the engraver, any kind of action is not appropriate.

"I'll go!" Xiao Ming spoke again: "I'll go with Hydra to see the situation!"

"No, you are the target of insects, how can you send them to the door? Besides, no matter who carves the monument, the gravitational pull on it is enough to tear up any matter, and you are looking for death!" the old general flatly refused.

"Don't go to the Graver, just look at the nearby planets. Further information should be available there. And if we don't use our abilities, all humans are the same to bugs!" said Rimidios.

"What's the use of just going to the planet next to you?" said the old general, who didn't understand.

"Judging from the current intelligence, the planets around the Monument are occupied by bugs, and we are ostensibly acting in a normal attack posture to paralyze the swarm and see how the swarm reacts. If they react so strongly that we are not even allowed to approach the Monument Engraver, then the Monument Graver is a vulnerable existence to the swarm. If the biter doesn't react much and just fights back step by step, then we can also know that the engraver may not be important to the swarm, or it may be that the swarm is not afraid of what we do to the engraver!"

Remidios said slowly, "And once we've gained a foothold on a few of these planets, let Hyde get closer and see the second reaction of the swarm." Then it is up to Xiao Ming and me to reveal our identities and see the third step reaction of the swarm! If the swarm does not react at this point, then either our speculation is wrong, or the meaning of the inscription to the swarm is not as we guessed. Or maybe it's a seal, and it really needs the help of humans to break it!"

"But how do we judge the possibilities?" said Douglas.

"I'll judge!" said Rimidios.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then understood.

Time.

As a G-Class Adept. And it's a king-like temporal ability. No one doubted the fighting power of Remidios. But neither the military nor the council have always been afraid of Remidios using it as a combat force, but want to use her time ability to predict it, but it is clear that this is the wrong way, otherwise it would not have been pitted like that by bugs before.

Now that Remidios and Xiao Ming are together, they have played a far greater role than the results obtained by HSS when they locked up Remidios before, so the military no longer bolts Remidios to the rear.

"You can really give it a try. But if you're going to pretend to be ordinary troops. Then you can't just go and send the tough guy troops over!" the old general thought for a moment and said.

"The tough guy troops can't all go, there are too many of them, and it's not conducive to development in that situation!" Douglas had a different opinion: "I think it's okay to send the sharp knife platoon!" After having an experience of fighting together, he knows Xiao Ming's character too well, once the entire tough guy unit is sent, Xiao Ming will share most of his energy just to protect everyone, but it will reduce his efficiency, it is not as suitable as sending a small number of elite troops.

The old general also seemed to reflect Xiao Ming's situation, so he nodded and agreed. This was followed by a series of discussions. to ensure that the entire operation runs the problem. The meeting lasted five hours before it ended.

"Boy, do a good job. But you can't mess around, understand?" When leaving, the old general patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"I understand!" Xiao Ming nodded.

With that, he and Remidios left the front finger conference room together.

"This mission should be my last mission!" Xiao Ming suddenly said to Remidios on the way back to the camp.

"Is your time up?" Remidios knew exactly what Xiao Ming meant.

"Yes, I already have a hunch that I will be gone in ten days. Based on the planned time just now, I should have left after this mission. So I think the person who carved the monument is indeed a relationship!" He came to this plane to change the past and save Remidios.

At first, he was indeed limited by time, but after he received a large amount of soul energy replenishment, his stay in this plane changed fundamentally. According to Bai Zhen and Remidios, he is now stepping on an important node in time and space, and once it changes, it will have a significant impact on the entire future. And this node is also the last time node he can change, and if it is more, it will completely change the entire future, even if there is time correction and positioning of the time queen, it is useless.

So as long as Xiao Ming starts to get in touch with this time node, then no matter how much time he has left, he will immediately return to the future.

Xiao Ming was sure that he didn't have any feelings before, but after deciding on the task of testing the stele carver, he immediately had a sense, so he was eighty percent sure that the stele carver was this key time and space node.

"I also feel something, it seems that the Monument Engraver is really different!" Remidios smiled faintly: "However, I also have a premonition of a great crisis, this time it will not be a peaceful mission, it will be more dangerous than the previous missions of Sino Guardian and Ghost Star!"

"Do we really want to bring sharp knives to platoon?" Xiao Ming hesitated. The last thing he likes is to see the people around him die.

"That's what war is all about. We can't protect everyone. It can only push the whole time forward. And I have a hunch that they have an important role to play. You should understand that the two of us can't complete the task. But if you send someone we don't know, will you really feel at ease?" remidios reassured.

Xiao Ming sighed lightly: "I understand!"

Back at the camp, the two men told Podol about the situation.

Podol was silent for a long time and then said: "This mission, it is indeed impossible for the tough guy troops to be fully assembled. The disparity in strength will drag you down. Actually, according to my meaning, it is better to mobilize those master troops to go with you. But I think you're reluctant to cooperate with strangers, and since this matter is yours, then it's a matter for our tough guy troops. Can't push it out!"

He paused and said, "Ask those little guys in the Sharp Knife Platoon to see which of them volunteered!"

The Knife Platoon has now expanded to forty people, and they have no problem completing normal tasks, but the Monument Engraver task is not so easy.

"We volunteered!" When Xiao Ming and the others explained the situation, the five Edwards immediately said in unison.

As the first people to join the Sharp Knife Squad, they call themselves Xiao Ming's apprentices, how could they not participate in such a thing?

Of course, none of the others in the Sharp Knife Platoon hesitated, but it was obviously impossible to bring so many people.

"A standard squad is the limit of our personnel this time. But don't think that there is no chance to kill insects, because insects cannot be killed. Podol said to the people.

The people in the sharp knife platoon, you look at me, I look at you, and finally I silently quit when I thought it was inappropriate. They are not timid, but they know that they are not strong enough.

The ten strongest people stayed, one by one with their heads held high and extremely proud.

"Xiao Ming, say something!" Podol pushed Xiao Ming out.

Xiao Ming looked at the ten people standing in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is a mission to send people to death." I can't guarantee that each and every one of you will come back alive!"

No one spoke, but the ten straightened their backs.

"It looks like you still don't want to quit. Xiao Ming nodded: "Then let's go to death together!"

"Yes!" the ten agreed in unison.

Xiao Mingkong raised his hand: "Salute to the next brother who sacrifices!"

"Salute to the next brother who will die!" everyone raised their hands in the same empty gesture of shaking the cup.

This is a tradition of the military.

November 1, 2533.

The quest for the codename Monument Carver is activated.

The entire Ponander theater began to move on a large scale, and the defensive line moved towards the airspace where the Monument Graver was located, preparing to attack a first-level brood behind the Monument Momenter's position. At the same time, all the planets in the human defense zone entered a state of strict defense, and all troops stopped attacking and put on a move to prepare for Armageddon.

At the same time, the swarm began to change, and a large number of space bugs moved towards the airspace where the Monument Graver was located, and all the planets in the Monument Engraver's airspace began to converge.

All of a sudden, the airspace of the monument carver was in turmoil. (To be continued......)
