The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"When they rest, their souls will also subside...as long as they are not killed by demons." He looked at the corpses on the ground, his voice was a little choked, and he only held the handle of the knife with his right hand through the belt. May you rest in peace..."

With their former comrades in this state and their home in ruins, even the most stoic of warriors will suffer for a long time.And Varen should be more than that—the handle of the knife must have some special meaning in it.And he mentioned before that 'I made a big mistake' before he was interrupted by the attacking demon before he could say it.

What this 'big mistake' is exactly, Oregana is still unclear, but it is very likely that it has a great connection with the destruction of the Yajin civilization.After withdrawing to the boat, let's continue to listen to the old man tell the story of his youth.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly rose from the indicator lamp on the breastplate of a fallen white demon.

Oregana subconsciously raised her gun to aim, but found that the light seemed to be the response of some kind of projection device.Under the light that gave people a sense of purity and holiness, a huge shadow appeared.

It was an alien with feminine features, floating in the air, wrapped in neat armor, making her look like a statue.And there are no feet under the straight skirt armor structure, only some vague shadows.Her face was hidden under a mechanical mask, and her eyes were shining like the Ultramarines of Nebula M78.It can be seen that there is a special structure on her back, which is reminiscent of folded wings.

She floats in this light, with a strange sense of existence mixed with a sense of abnormality and sacredness. If she is placed as a boss in "Baoneering Witch", this shape will definitely be suitable.

【I want to send you a truce signal. Is this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, strangers. ] She looked in Oregana's direction and spoke, and what came out of her throat was a trilling sound with a unique electronic feel, which didn't sound very comfortable 【Go back, leave this battle, I am willing to take a A huge gift to exchange. 】

Varen looked at the projection and swallowed, with an angry expression on his face.He wanted to have an attack several times, but he endured it all. Finally, he took a few deep breaths, and then introduced to Oregana in a low voice:

"This is Queen Meck..."

Oregana narrowed her eyes, and let out a cold snort from her nose - the guy in front of her was not to her liking.Leaving aside what she has done, first of all, there is a big problem with this attitude.

Her demon army was defeated by herself, the demon warship crashed into the Qianzheng Order, and a squadron was also just destroyed by her own troops.Now a forward base is being rapidly established in this galaxy.That is to say, the current situation is that the battle damage ratio of Queen Meck is very ugly. To put it bluntly, she will be beaten to the ground, but she still talks to herself about the truce in a tone that seems very remarkable. .

It was as if the truce was a gift to herself, and she proposed that the truce was a reward.Did she still put herself in the place of God before herself?Maybe this Her Lady Queen should know what kind of situation she is in.

Oregana showed a playful expression, she coughed twice——

"What can you come up with?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Oregana said these words, she felt that Queen Meck's iron face seemed to be relieved.It wasn't an illusion, but Varun next to him suddenly became nervous.

【Endless energy!And a future so bright, you'll love it... After seeing that power, no one can deny it. 】The Mei Ke female dynasty opened her hand and said loudly 【With this power, your warriors will live forever!The barrier of time and space will no longer be any problem!You should know what that means!Your people will be happier than ever before, and any dreams of the past can become reality!And it comes at a small cost—not even on your own. 】

This is the second time that the Mek tribe has tried to communicate with this side. The last time it happened when the fleet just started contacting.

But no matter what, no matter how you look at it, the Mek tribe doesn't seem to be good at [negotiation]... They seem to be used to expressing their opinions with the attitude of giving favors and orders, and hope that others will cooperate with them.This level of arrogance is simply unprecedented.This made people feel as if she made this appearance on purpose, so that the other party would feel disgusted with it and induce the other party to attack her-but this was too beyond common sense.

I feel that things related to Meck are not very common sense, in any sense...

The right villain's behavior makes it unclear whether Queen Meck really thinks so or is pretending, and it may even be done on purpose so that people have the idea of ​​​​the first half of the sentence.This kind of feeling makes people feel a little uneasy, coupled with the other party's bad attitude, the combination of the two is very uncomfortable...

Leaving Varun aside, the other people present - the guard soldiers, the squad commander, Nyarlathotep, Liu Lizi, and the big demons all had strange expressions.

The warriors will live forever, and the barrier of time and space will no longer be any problem... How should I put it... I have all these, and there is no special price to pay. (scratches head)

But this time Valen obviously couldn't calm down.Those tragic experiences in the past were detonated in an instant, and he roared loudly:

"You must not trust her! Great warlord! The trust in Mei Ke will become a gap that they will use! As long as you agree to her, the disaster and curse will permeate the whole society like poison! We believed her, we believed her The minion! It turned out to be what it is now!"

Oregana gently raised her right hand to calm Varun.She looked into Queen Make's inorganic eyes, and said seriously, word by word:

"Have you never considered giving up the invasion and repenting for the felony you have committed?"

Before Oregana finished speaking, Queen Meck shook her head, and she replied as if she had been hit:

【Why do I need to repent?Just because I made them feel pain? 】There was anger in her voice, but she didn't attack it directly—even though she used a very rigid attitude, she still knew that the initiative was not on her side [On Earth, lions will hunt and kill antelopes, and humans will raise livestock. Can make other creatures suffer for their own needs...why not Meck?Because you think they are suffering, you want me to decline or even die?Just because of your morals?Or because of your own likes and dislikes?If it is because of using one's own morality to determine the fate of other races, then I think this is a very hypocritical thing. 】

Hearing this answer, not only was Oregana not angry or disappointed, but her heart suddenly lightened, and she even couldn't help but sigh with emotion—it's great that the Mek people are gestalt conscious, so that they don't have to fight in the next war. The psychological burden has increased because of the inevitable civilian casualties.The war must go on, because that is the will of Queen Mek, who is the brain of the Mek.

Some wars come from not being able to understand each other, but more wars are coming from not being able to accept — not being able to accept the status quo, not being able to accept the idea, etc... This one is the same.

Oregana pulled out the chopping axe:

"That's a pity that negotiations broke down. We are not preventing this war because of our own moral values. We are not letting you do it because your actions put hundreds of billions of people at risk. On Earth, the lion They can hunt antelopes, humans can raise livestock, and anyone can make other creatures suffer for their own needs... So, we make you suffer for our needs, the needs of our people, isn't that too much?"

Queen Make was silent for a while, and finally replied:

[I gave you a chance... You will eventually pay the price for your actions, and the price will be too high for you to bear. 】

"It's true, everyone pays for what they do. You and I."

After finishing speaking, Oregana raised the chopping axe, and slammed it fiercely on the breastplate used as the projection system.

Chapter 988 Chapter 28: Short-lived aftermath

Another busy day--

The moment he woke up, Kira Yamato thought so, and then turned off the alarm clock that was set to vibrate.

The alarm clock pointed to 10:[-] in the morning. After confirming the time, he quietly got out of bed.It was still pitch black outside the window, and there was still one hour, four and [-] minutes until the time for 'lighting up'. Before that, this small industrial residential station would only use the minimum level of public lighting in the residential area in order to simulate the night environment.

This relatively spacious double room in the dormitory was still quietly shrouded in the night, and Toli was huddled in the cage in the room with a real green parrot.The surrounding area was so quiet that only the sound of the second hand of the clock and the voice of the roommate Zhen Asuka who slept in the next bed could be heard.The computer monitor was still glowing faintly, and the program interface that was half written the night before was still there.

"Hey, hey, I'm up, there's a test in the morning." Kira drank the cold water that was poured on the bedside the night before, and then opened the birdcage - the parrot bought on the earth in it was rattling by itself Flying to Zhen Asuka's pillow, Dudu tapped his face with his beak, "Dr. Testarossa seems to be coming, don't make a mistake."

"Okay, okay...I'll get up right away." Zhen Asuka pushed away the bird on his face vaguely, "When is the next vacation? The continuous overtime this time is really long, what about the labor law..."

"The director said that we will have two months of paid leave after finishing this order. We can go anywhere and sleep at that time." Kira walked into the bathroom, connected the water and began to brush his teeth, said vaguely " I also gave a discount coupon, saying that if you travel to Charle, you can enjoy a [-]% discount, and the air ticket is also included."

"Sounds good..." Zhen Asuka sat up from the quilt, scratched his sleeping messy hair, and blinked vigorously, "Char... seems to be at Kepulu's side? It seems to be a famous place .”

"Aslan said last time that he has always wanted to go and watch it, but he has never been able to find the time."

Zhen Asuka knew this man named Aslan, he was the childhood playmate of Senior Kira, he was a super handsome man, and he got married at a young age.But because that face is particularly attractive to women, his wife always stays with him, for fear that he will be snatched away by other women.Last time, the Sara couple sent recent recent photos, saying that a family named Xiangyu moved in from the neighbors. Xiangyu's younger sister has the same green hair as Mrs. Sara, and they look like sisters standing together Same.

They seem to be living a happy life...Compared with programming military vehicles, farming on a colonized planet is probably easier to farm?But if a bachelor like me used to farm... just thinking about it makes me feel super lonely, so forget it. (far eye)

However, Kira-senpai is quite popular with the opposite sex, but why is he still single now?Have you met someone you really like yet?When he was drunk before, he seemed to have said that he hoped to meet a pink-haired angel with big breasts and wings that fell from the sky, and that must be the person he was destined for... So at that time, he threw him on the sofa and let him He slept soundly, after all, there was everything in the dream.If he continues to hold this concept of mate selection, he will probably be single for the rest of his life.

Thinking about these things, Zhen Asuka turned on the TV, hoping to watch the morning news to refresh himself.

As soon as he turned on the TV, the middle-aged announcer with a very tall hairline was uttering some terrible words with a serious face, which made him fall into a daze where he fell asleep but the world line had changed——

[The war is about to start! 】

[The high-level civilization 'Mek' was found to use intelligent creatures for large-scale spiritual development!The scale of subspace projection is close to level four, and the fleet of the integration department is blocking the surrounding area. 】

【The archbishop of Protos, Artanis, condemned this severely. He said that the Mek people are using psionic energy in an evil, irresponsible and dangerous way. 】

"Hey, hey... is it true..."

Kira poked his head out with a toothbrush in his mouth, and he happened to see the mosaic front-line images.On the screen, soldiers wearing heavy-duty power armor of the Tartarus system are fighting against very strange enemies in a very strange place-there are countless metal cages, and the flames are burning those cages. The mosaic has been removed, but it can still be seen that the prisoner is a human being... or something similar.

They didn't die, even though the fire was constantly burning, those limbs were still moving.In the background, the sound of gunshots, the roar of monsters, and the heart-piercing screams startled him.After a closer look, I found that the news program was marked with an age rating...the morning news was rated?It was the first time that Kira Yamato had grown up so big, but seeing the harmonized pictures on the screen, he immediately understood the reason.

It's really something that kids shouldn't watch.

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant in the factory area owned by Shuguang Society while watching the news on their personal terminals, they found that the restaurant, which was usually crowded with technicians and workers, was full of talking, laughing and arguing. They all stared at the big-screen TV in the dining room, and the voice of another announcer was coming out of the stereo along with the picture of the battleship leaving the port——

[At about [-] o'clock in the morning of the same day, the super flagship Agincourt under the Fist of Tartaros, the Hundred Years War, Lexington, and Chibi have been confirmed to sail. , Kanas, Sailimu, Haier Lake are ready to go.The official spokesperson of Tartarus, Beria, said that negotiations with the other party are underway. 】

[Considering safety issues, local mobilization work has been carried out in all aspects.So far, the Ministry of Consolidation has not issued a mobilization order.Many military observers believe that the reason for the tension in the military obviously comes from Maker’s actions that are very likely to attract the dark worms and their tough attitude. This war may be inevitable...]

The superflagship of Tartarus is mobilizing, and the meaning is clear.People in the restaurant were talking about—

"very scary……"

"Did you see that? It was hell."

"For the first time in my life, I turned an enemy into a friend with Mosaic..."

"So many people have been mosaiced, so they must be seriously injured. What should we do after they are rescued? Do we have so many doctors?"

Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem, but there is a sense of powerlessness away from the battlefield during the discussion.But Kira Yamato, who is familiar with this kind of atmosphere, knows very well that everyone is actually trying to be brave, using sassy words to relieve their sense of panic after seeing scary things.

"Are you here?" The person who greeted was a woman with a crab-like hairstyle. She was ZAFT's military attache Talia Kuratis. She usually had a capable atmosphere, but now her face was ashen. With a wry smile, "I think I might have a nightmare tonight. I thought that Nascatron was already very scary... Last time I took the little one at home to meet the world, I felt very uncomfortable. I felt that there was always something next to me. I’m staring at myself. This time it’s probably even more exaggerated than that time.”

"Why would you take a child to Nazcatron?"

"Look at the monument, it's part of education..."

"Your children are working really hard..."

The real Asuka was dumbfounded—there was indeed a monument open to the public in Nascatrona, the purpose of which was to let everyone remember the horror of the dark worm and remind people all the time.But the people who actually went to visit had more than one reaction, the place was haunted... the camera took pictures of people who didn't exist, they often heard hallucinations, even under the sun, they felt that there was no reason to panic and so on.The official explanation is that when the dark worm devours the soul, the leaked psionic energy reverberates and is harmless to people.

It's harmless to people...but the thieves are so scary, it's definitely not a place to take children to visit.

This woman is not ordinary.

"Is the legion commander so nervous about mobilizing troops, is he also frightened by this?"

"How could she be scared? People who hold an ax and fight with the swarm on Char will not be afraid even if they see bloody things." Thalia Kuratis once participated in the battle as the commander of the battleship In the daily battle, I have seen the guts of the leader of the Oregana Army more than once. "What she is worried about is the tracking instinct of the dark worms to the strong psionic reaction. If you don't pay attention, it will become like next to a street lamp in summer, one after another. If they all fly in, then that civilization definitely has no experience in fighting against dark worms, if they are swallowed up, we will have to face a strong psionic individual again."

Zhen Asuka shook his head, he lowered his voice and said:

"Psionic power is really dangerous... Is it okay for us to develop that thing?"

"If you can control psychics well, then there is no problem—don't worry, our project has passed the review of the Coordination Department, and there are dedicated psychics who are responsible for technical guidance and safety issues. There are phase technicians from Protos, as well as Dr. Testarossa, who has developed several types of magic devices and magic power armor, is here, just rest assured." Thalia Kuratis smiled, "There is no energy that is not dangerous at all. Yes, even lighting a bonfire to boil water may burn your hands. Psychic energy itself is not easy to control... before the technology is lit up, it will burn people like this indiscriminately, then it has already happened and is on the way to the accident."

It is for this reason that the cakes are nervously mobilizing the fleet to prepare for the war. If it is not necessary, no one wants to fight. Now everyone in the entire command department knows that the legion leader is saving the orbital ring. If there is a war, there will be battle damage. She The progress of accumulating orbital rings will stagnate or even go backwards. This guy doesn't want to fight at all... Someone even asked whether it is necessary to interfere with the process of the legion leader's mine accumulation in an unobtrusive way. Before the orbital ring is built, this Every boss will decide the war with a cautious attitude.

This brain-slapping suggestion was naturally rejected.

If you can't fight, don't fight, and the problems that can be persuaded to be solved by the army commander will definitely be solved through war.But looking at it now, the talks may collapse.

"I think... even if there is no reason for this level, it is still good to fight, right?"

"Um……"

"really……"

There is a sentence that everyone didn't say, but after confirming the eyes, they immediately reached a tacit agreement-that is, they actually hope to talk about collapse.

Among the allied civilizations of the Ministry of Consolidation, some civilizations did have a history of massacres. For example, President Desla of Gamilas once ordered an extremely bloody suppression of the planets under his control.However, after the end of the war in Gameiras, all those responsible at the time were purged, because President Desla himself disappeared during the battle with the Yamato, and the forces he cultivated later lost power, and the new The government was also re-formed at the behest of a new leader.This allows Camilas to be accepted by the mainstream thinking of other civilizations, but even so, there will still be some people who criticize Camillas' past history.

But this Mek... what they do is even more terrifying to ordinary people - many civilizations in the Concord were pre-space age civilizations before joining the Concord, and they listened to stories and movies about aliens invading the earth Growing up, watching alien monsters on the screen capture ordinary people alive or make them into horrible things, these things have become childhood shadows for countless people.Indeed, in the movie, those monsters are finally repelled by the protagonist heroes, whether that hero is a homeless man with special superpowers or a righteous warrior of light from the far side of the universe, human beings survive in the end.

But this report tells everyone what will happen to humans in a world without superheroes after encountering the invasion of vicious aliens.This allows people protected by modern civilization to re-experience the fear of the past barbaric period.Monsters come from the dark to hunt you, and they will never listen to you.To a certain extent, the feeling of the Mek people even coincides with that of the dark worm - the sense of powerlessness, abnormality, fear and disgust is even higher than that of the real alien.

The speed at which the real Alien Arachi Zerg integrated into the Consolidation Department was quite...quick.Its short-distance transportation and logistics industry has even reached the Koprulu star area, which is generally psychologically shadowed by bugs, but due to some reasons that everyone knows, the star area around Char and the Mar Sara star are still unable to enter.

"I can only say that I hope it doesn't turn into a long-term war."

Several people were silent for a few seconds. If it turned into a long-term battle, it would be a headache. The sense of panic about this future made Kira Yamato quickly find a new topic.He opened his portable terminal and looked at the silhouette being assembled above:

"I don't know if it will be used in this war."

"Even if the project can catch up, there is no driver who can control it now."

In the picture of the portable terminal, a giant stands quietly in the dark hangar.It has four golden antennas on its head, and its facial outline is close to the shape of the G series in the Civil War, but it has four Vulcan cannons.The shoulder assembly has been opened, and there is a three-barreled cannon on the left and right sides.And inside the open armor on the chest, a green sphere is shining with a green gleam.
