Arad's Sword

Chapter 327 Expedition Preparation
The actual size of Xingyang cannot be verified.

Although it is the core of the great storm, here is another world, another space, mysterious, rich and full of various dangers and opportunities.

Judging from the exploration in the previous life, its area has at least exceeded the entire sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

And in Xingyang, if there is one thing that is most amazing, it is neither the mineral veins that are so rich that no purification is needed, nor the valleys full of precious medicinal materials, but a piece of floating in the air, with self-awareness, that can move by itself. land".

Its name is "Sky Curtain Behemoth".

As a legendary super life form, this behemoth is larger than the entire monsoon fleet, and has already surpassed the category of "floating island" and reached the level of "flying island".

On the back of this huge ancient creature that is hundreds of kilometers long like a giant whale, there are mountains and water, and there are a large number of ancient civilization relics.According to the rumors, this giant beast of the sky was a war weapon tens of thousands of years ago, but it was shot down by the Tyrannosaurus King, so it fell into the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, and the impact when it fell gave birth to a big storm and stars foreign.

After the explorer Leslie successfully broke through the big storm area and entered the Star Ocean, this place gradually became the headquarters of the Blue Truth Exploration Association.

Now, after a thousand years, it has become the headquarters of the Blue Truth Sect.

A huge continent bred with rich resources, possessing consciousness and defense ability, wandering in the star ocean, and never sinking.

This is what Midi is looking for in the star ocean.

This is the throne owned by the overlord who is the pinnacle of the sea of ​​clouds in the entire sky.

Only by taking down the giant beast of the sky, can it be regarded as dominating the sky and sea of ​​clouds.

Or to put it another way, if the Behemoth of the Sky Veil cannot be taken down, then Midi and the entire sea of ​​clouds in the sky will be within the attack range of the Blue Truth Sect, and they will never find peace, let alone develop smoothly.

Therefore, even if the Sky Veil Giant Beast is an air fortress that is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there is an extremely terrifying supreme powerhouse in the headquarters of the Blue Truth Sect, Midi still has no choice.

Not only that, but he had to use all his skills.

For example, take the initiative to launch an attack.

However, as soon as Midi proposed this idea, everyone immediately opposed it.

Whether it was a human like Reinhardt who also came from the continent of Arad, or Avril and Emile with the sky and sea of ​​clouds as the background, or the bloody purification who had just formed an alliance, they all thought that Midi was a little too hasty.

Although the capture of eight Stinger destroyers at one time can be said to be a huge windfall, it's just that this level of victory is far from shaking the foundation of the sect headquarters.

This is a force that has existed for thousands of years in the resource-rich Star Ocean!
In comparison, what is the bloody purification that split out more than 50 years ago?What is the Falcon Group that just came up from the lower realm?
Besides, even if you really want to attack, you have to wait until the running-in between the alliances is over, right?
The advance base was damaged in many places in the previous battle and needed to be repaired, and most importantly, a trust relationship had not yet been established between the Bloody Purification and the Falcon Group.

Due to the previous trial in the mind labyrinth, except for Rotor of the patrol team among the younger generation of bloody purification, everyone has a considerable degree of hostility towards Midi. What will be their attitude towards the Falcon Group formed by Midi? One can imagine.

This kind of incongruity is a big taboo for an army that needs a high degree of integration. Besides, they are still facing the huge sect headquarters.

In this case, how to "proactively launch an attack"?
Therefore, everyone with the ability to command raised objections to Midi's decision this time.

"Why do you have to launch an attack immediately?" Reinhardt looked at Midi with some puzzlement while advancing to the base.

This is not to question or object, but to ask for advice with an open mind.

Also as a commander, Reinhardt can see more things from Midi's orders, and at the same time, he can learn more things.Following Mi Di, the originally extremely proud fourth prince found that he was like a frog in a well, so he didn't miss any opportunity, and whenever he had a question, he had to ask.

As for Midi, he is not afraid that his tactical thinking will be learned by the opponent. The practice of teaching one hand and keeping the other is not suitable for him. It is Midi's style to constantly create new tactics.

Therefore, as long as Reinhardt asked, Midi would answer.

This time, too.

"It has only been more than two months since we entered Xingyang, but the advance base established in the most peripheral area has already been attacked. There must be something strange about it." Midi said in a tone without any confusion.

Of course, this attack can actually be attributed to a coincidence or accident.

After all, the Blue Truth Sect also has a cruise fleet, which swims in every corner of the Star Ocean, searching for possible enemies, especially the forces of blood purification.

However, the advance base exploits the surrounding resources quite frequently, so it makes sense if it is bumped into and discovered.

However, Midi would never attribute the reason to this ungraspable luck factor.As a top commander, he needs every factor to be under his control.

And if it is such a factor as "the reason for the enemy's attack is unknown", then consider it directly from the worst point of view, and use this as a benchmark to prepare for it.

"Okay." Reinhardt shrugged his shoulders, "But even if there is something wrong, shouldn't we start with internal investigations? Active attacks will bring greater risks, right?"

There are "undercover agents" in the forward base, which is a possibility that Reinhardt prefers.

After all, Midi's power was just established, and although everyone's identity was carefully investigated when it was formed, maybe there were spies from the Blue Truth Sect in the sky and clouds.

Moreover, the opponent is a mind flayer, and there is also the possibility that an originally loyal person has been controlled by the mind.

It's not that Reinhardt hasn't used this kind of mind control in the mind catcher trial, or in other words, all the testers who have possessed mind flayers have played mind control.

Therefore, when the advanced base was exposed, Reinhardt, who had become a senior memory hunter, came up to think about this possibility.

But Midi shook her head, and said: "This possibility is very small, because I have already scanned it myself."

He said, pointing to his forehead.

The various skills of psychic powers are generally cast from between the eyebrows.

Reinhard was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly. He didn't consider the powerful spiritual power of Midi. As a result, when he was still at the first step, he had already stepped to the second step.

"In the previous battle, I purposely did not attack right away. Instead, I performed telepathy first, just to find out if there is a pulling spirit line, which is the connection used by mind flayers to control the objects controlled by the mind. But unfortunately, there is no such thing." Midi explained patiently, "As for the undercover that appeared when forming the force, this is also unlikely, because at that time our steps were extremely strict and there were no loopholes."

"So, could there be a problem over there?" Reinhardt's eyes flashed, and he pointed out the window with his finger.It can be seen through the glass that the bloody and purified six Fengya warships are moored at a temporary dock not far from the advancing base.

For this doubt, Midi neither affirmed nor denied, just smiled and said nothing.

After a short moment, a rare flush of shame appeared on Reinhardt's fair and handsome face.

Of course, it is impossible for some undercover agent or traitor to appear in the bloody purification.

As an organization that split from the sect headquarters 50 years ago, and an organization that has been fighting against the sect headquarters in Xingyang for 50 years, if there are any traitors among them, they would have been taken over long ago. Waiting for Midi and others to arrive?

As for the deliberate mischief caused by the bloody purification, it is also unlikely.

First, Midi and the others are very cautious, and have never explained the specific location of the advance base to Bloody Purification.

Second, the power on Midi's side is already weak enough. Bloody Purification doesn't need to use this kind of trick to weaken Midi, and it has already taken advantage of the negotiation.

Of course, the psychic power displayed by Midi is extremely strong now, but at that time, it was obviously impossible for the bloody purification to predict such a future that they hadn't expected at all.

"It's neither the undercover of the bloody purification nor the undercover of the advanced base, but an external force?" Reinhardt finally came to a conclusion.

"I'm afraid it may be a new method of the Blue Truth Sect." Midi's eyes were shining with a cold light.

You know, even if you search the entire memory, Midi can be sure that in the previous life, there has never been such a situation.Until several years after the adventurers opened the passage to the Star Ocean, the Blue Truth Sect did not have any particularly impressive detection methods.

It was also because of this that at that time, Midi was able to adopt various combat methods from the sky, and in the absence of mind catchers, he was able to contend with the mind flayers.

But obviously, in this life, the situation has changed.

It may be because of the battle in the cemetery at dusk that the mind flayers became afraid of the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

It could be something else, maybe even an accident in the research.

In short, the current Blue Truth Sect seems to be stronger than the one Midi knew.

Faced with this unknown, Midi's advantage as a reborn prophet is minimized.

Therefore, at this time, it is even more necessary to conduct a series of trials to obtain more information.

If you just wait in the advance base like this, it seems that you are developing and integrating, but isn't it a kind of closed-door construction like sitting in a well?

Once they go in the wrong direction and fail to restrain the Blue Truth Sect, what awaits Midi and the bloody purification in the end will be an irreversible disaster.

Overcome fear, get rid of worries, step out, and then fight, learn the most valuable experience from each battle, and then become stronger.

This is what Midi does!
