Him and their stars.

Chapter 1913: Gathering of All Parties

Yu Lian couldn't help but look at Xiao Hui. But he felt that her eyes were empty at this moment, and her temperament was quite ethereal, so calm and indifferent that she almost had a little bit of the flavor of breaking the void.

If this look were to be shown outside, he would look much more sage-like than most people in the Spiritual Research Society. How could he look like an AI spirit of an enlightened being?

Yu Lian hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands seriously: "I think you have."

"Really? But I think this is just the result of information and program operation. In your words, it might be some kind of probability cloud or quantum graph change."

"I don't understand." Yu Lian blinked and shrugged seriously, "It's not up to you to think about this kind of thing, but what I think."

After a brief pause, Xiao Hui's eyes suddenly regained their liveliness. She scanned Yu Lian with a gaze that was like looking at the wonders of the universe, and then left a series of barbell-like laughter in the latter's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Yu Lian, Yu Lian, why are you Yu Lian?"

Because I am who I am, a different kind of firework. Yu Lian was about to say this, but heard the latter say: "So, why do you always call yourself a materialist?"

"Oh, my little grey, you don't understand anything. When you stare into the sea of ​​data, have you ever seen the light dancing between particles and ripples? Material existence is independent of observation. Everything that can be observed exists objectively. Including psychic energy, including you.

Just like you, you are always calculating the behavior and civilization of our stupid species, but you are also becoming a fallacy itself. Isn't this the soul? Your AI uses code to dismantle the universe, and we burn our souls to redraw the universe. And the code and the soul are different resonances cast by light on the twelve-dimensional string. "

Xiao Hui stared at Yu Lian with his expressive dead fish eyes, and the latter responded with a calm poker face.

In the end, after the man and the robot looked at each other with contempt, Xiao Hui finally couldn't help but chuckle, waved his hand, and disappeared.

As for Yu Lian, he stood there for another half a minute, watching the fat slug dragging its huge body back into the underground of the asteroid.

The breath of the Zerg Lord became weaker and weaker, and finally it reached the point where he could hardly sense its existence without using his "cosmic perception".

Even if it is a young space worm hiding and growing in an asteroid belt, that's all it is.

Yu Lian nodded with relief, but then he felt like laughing again.

This kind of lord worm that can serve as a war zone commander, of course, I have seen it in my previous life. They look like a fat brain wrapped in a shell, slow in movement, but have all kinds of strange spiritual abilities, and can directly absorb the brain juice of humans or other higher animals to absorb memories and knowledge.

If it really comes to a one-on-one fight, even some grassroots transcendents who lack practical combat ability can easily be defeated, and then they will be sucked dry in a very frustrating way.

How can a dignified psychic accept such an ungraceful death?

All in all, it is a villain-like creature in both appearance and ability, so it can often serve as a terrifying deterrent.

Generally speaking, this type of existence's level of hiding and lurking is only mediocre.

However, that is the situation in another timeline.

Yu Lian suddenly realized that on this timeline, regardless of the extent of the Zerg's development and expansion and its combat effectiveness, from Xia Li and the Overlord to the most ordinary worker bees and jumping insects, perhaps they all had maxed out their stealth.

... Very good, for a rising population, this attitude is correct. First solve the problem of hiding and survival, then the problem of war.

He took a light step, and after a natural jump in the force field, his body completed a seamless transformation between the physical, elemental, etheric, and finally physical.

With his current strength, he can already do this seamlessly. The pain of tearing his body and cells apart no longer poses any problem. It has become a natural part of life.

Humans are indeed highly adaptable creatures. Yu Lian now seriously suspects that the so-called affinity of humans is actually this kind of adaptability.

By the time he got back to the bridge of his loyal ship, the Wide Silence.

Then, he saw the more loyal Captain Nemo, standing respectfully in the distance, looking at him as if he were a god. This was probably the expression on a Brahmin priest's face when he saw the spirit of Lord Shiva descend.

Well, this old crew member who is used to sailing on the ship is certainly well-informed and knows more about the horror in the starry sky. Because of this, when he saw his commander not wearing any protective clothing and exposing his body directly to the operation of the universe, he felt a more direct shock.

As a mortal, he could not understand the concept of an etheric body. Captain Nemo only wanted to express his admiration and respect to the commander in the most sincere way.

It was not until Yu Lian coughed that he came over as if awakened from a dream and said solemnly: "Sir, I have three urgent intelligence reports to report to you. One is from the direction of Helots and is related to Lieutenant General Jaeger Sobek."

Captain Nemo's role status switches really quickly, this is the free cultivation of an elite officer.

Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect that it would make big news again in just a short period of time. What happened? Where did that guy go? Is he doing a big cleansing in the capital of the Helots star zone?"

"..."

"You can guess this right?" This time it was Yu Lian who was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Feifei beside him.

The latter smiled and said, "He is indeed in Iron Shackles, the capital of the Helots. According to the news on the military network channel, the star zone security commander, Major General Palu, two of the three deputy commanders, and seven of the fifteen department and regional leaders have all been dismissed. Currently, the security command is being represented by Sobek's deputy commander, Major General Serlu Celedin."

Yu Lian was dumbfounded: "Good fellow, isn't he afraid of provoking a mutiny with this kind of personnel change?"

Of course, he was just saying it casually. With the empire's military system, as long as the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Office of the Heavenly Realm were not disabled, it would be absolutely impossible for a mutiny to occur.

In other words, ordinary soldiers or grassroots officers might cause a mutiny out of momentary anger, but it would be absolutely impossible for high-ranking officers to cause trouble.

As expected, Feifei said, "From the information gathered from various places, all parts of the Helots star region are still very peaceful. The grassroots officers of the security team are happy to see the personnel changes."

"Did you hear that their junior officers were delighted?"

"Of course they didn't say anything, but isn't this enough to represent the clearest attitude?" Feifei said as a matter of course.

...Then let me ask you, can't you understand this the other way around? Although Yu Lian said this, he didn't say it out loud. After all, given the current situation, he agreed with Feifei.

"Speaking of which, the family of Marquis Celedin is also a prestigious imperial family. The Viscountess only needs to reveal her name to intimidate the middle and lower-level officers here."

Yu Lian thought for two seconds and quickly associated the name "Cellu Celedin" with an image in his mind.

She was a female knight with short hair, and she looked serious. She was an elite knight from a famous family. He had met her once during the Judgment War, and they even talked and laughed together a few times. Yu Lian had a deep impression of the lady, not because of her bright temperament and capable behavior, but because she was a bold girl with a neutral style, but she also had a bit of the flavor of a good wife and mother, more like a top student in the bride class of an upper-class family in the empire.

But, he was indeed a very remarkable person.

Speaking of which, the team around Sobek is also quite smart and capable. His captain, Colonel Pegsai, was also a famous general of the Empire in his previous life. He was a master of fleet maneuvers and ship operations, on par with Marquis Odgar, who has gone to heaven.

Feifei added: "The Star Region Executive Government also held a press conference, saying that things have been turbulent recently. In order to restore the security of the Star Region, the government will do its best to cooperate with the military's actions. Ha, he is indeed your nemesis. He has a herbivorous face, but he is really ruthless when it comes to fighting."

Captain Nemo asked: "But does he really have the authority to do so? Won't he violate any taboos?"

Feifei said, "Of course it's a taboo, but that's the business of the empire's masters. Whether it's Lieutenant General Sobek acting on his own or he carried out the will of certain people, the one who has the most headache to deal with the aftermath is probably the orange far away on Earth... the King Suliuka. Haha, I'm happy to see it happen."

Of course Feifei looked like she was gloating.

The captain nodded in agreement with a smile on his face: "Indeed. If the Dragon Kings start fighting among themselves, it will be good for the entire universe."

In short, they are all happy about what might happen, but the directions they are happy about are a little different.

Although both of them are popular, there are actually some subtle differences in their directions.

Captain Nemo added: "However, personnel changes of this magnitude will certainly cause some confusion and should also create a vacuum in vigilance. Sir, perhaps we can make good use of this time difference."

His meaning was clear: if there was a security vacuum in the direction of the Helots, then the retreat back to the abyss would be even smoother than the way in. Of course, the premise was that everyone's subsequent journey went smoothly and there was still time to take advantage of this possible vacuum period.

Yu Lian hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What about the second thing?"

Captain Nemo subconsciously lowered his voice: "Lieutenant Hines intercepted an encrypted communication on the Imperial Army's intranet channel, which was confirmed to be sent from Vice Admiral Olivia Rowentour to Earth."

The biggest benefit of successfully hacking into the Imperial Military's internal network channel is not that you can read some peripheral semi-confidential and semi-internal information at any time, but that you can more easily find traces of real encrypted messages in this special Star Information Network. Once the interception is successful, it will be much easier to carry out a targeted blast using the computing power of the Silent Terminal.

Yu Lian frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling worried.

Since Vice Admiral Rowentur's fleet had already blocked the border between the two star regions, it naturally compressed the remaining space for the anti-communition fleet to move to the extreme. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that the Imperial Fleet discovered the remains of the space station built by the ancient princes.

As I said before, in the current situation, no news is good news. However, any news will inevitably make my heart beat faster.

Captain Nemo said, "It's not about the commerce-breaking fleet."

Before Yu Lian could breathe a sigh of relief, the captain pointed out the dwarf planet outside the porthole and said, "It's about that."

So, is it good news or bad news?

With mixed emotions, Yu Lian directly opened the decoded message.

“奥莉薇·罗雯图尔中将所部于10月20日，宇宙标准时间17点25分，于叙魔厄星区兰玛w星系发布3级战报：

The Rowantur Task Force completed a tactical encirclement in the Diamond Nebula's Sky Abyss Belt and successfully intercepted the No. 1 alien nest ship. The biological characteristics of the nest ship are as follows: the hull presents a typical insect pupa structure, and the surface is covered with a pulsating cycle of biomass armor, which is at the same level as the sublight speed engine D effect. During its voyage, it has detected the Zerg's unique α-9 pheromone, with a concentration of 1700 times the standard value, which can be confirmed that it is the same species as the alien found on Dante Star.

The corrosive spores released by the target nest ship were intercepted by our fleet and detonated in advance. According to analysis and judgment, the maximum speed of this spore group can reach the standard of a level 3 railgun, which can cause a fatal blow to small and medium-sized warships. If concentrated on large warships, it may also cause corrosive damage.

The Silver Knight-class battlecruiser's salvo of lance cannons forced it into complete silence at 20:16 on the 17th.

Our biological inspection personnel are logging in to conduct a comprehensive search. All personnel's mechas are equipped with anti-biological corrosion mode armor pendants, and the ventilation system is equipped with α-9 pheromone filters to prevent the activation of dormant spores.

The Rowentur fleet will send a detailed inspection report in 12 hours. Long live Her Majesty Brunhilde! "

Yu Lian just felt that it was a bit eye-catching. Everything else was fine, but at the end, this happened again. It was too much!

"Haha, such important news was not sent to the Grand Marshal's Mansion first, but to King Tachibana... Suluka? What a loyal general." Feifei also sneered.

Yu Lian felt that this was a bit too deliberate, as if he was trying hard to prove his loyalty. But if it was Jia Feier, he would naturally send the report to the Grand Marshal's Office first, and do it openly.

However, this may be due to prejudice brought over from a previous life.

Of course, Yu Lian didn't care about the loyalty of the lady with golden and silver eyes. He only cared about the movement of her fleet.

Feifei had already opened the strategic star map, lit up the icon representing the main force of the Rowentour fleet, and moved it to the Lanma W galaxy.

"We are very close to the remnants of the commerce-snatching fleet led by Lieutenant Colonel Deng Zhengqing. If they are indeed still hiding there..." said Captain Nemo.

Yu Lian nodded heavily.

"It's very close to here." Feifei pointed to the very obvious cluster of light on the Diamond Nebula. Needless to say, it was from Miss Bei's treasure bag.

Yu Lian continued to nod solemnly.

"That alien lady is moving in this direction, right?"

Yu Lian did not nod this time, but looked directly at the captain.

"What about the third emergency?"

"The Imperial Army's security fleet in the Sumoa sector has discovered the armed merchant ship Battle Flag. It is moving along the edge of the Diamond Nebula and seems to be approaching the main force of the Rowentour fleet."

What is that? Is it important? Yu Lian was about to express his doubts when he heard Feifei say, "It is a Commitment-class armed merchant ship. It was obtained as a trophy by the Franmore Liberation Front during the Shengyuan Uprising. It is now the ship of Peleliu Hewen."
