In the morning, the incoming subspace demons were successfully repelled by the base's indiscriminate bombardment without causing any substantial damage to the mine base. For those who are good at fighting various enemies and monsters and have experience For the very rich human elites in the Keprulu Star District, the opponent's attack was nothing at all. It was completely within their expectations, and its intensity could only be regarded as a small encounter at best.
But for those refugees, for those survivors, it's a completely different story.
At least thousands of demon corpses were left in front of the base. Such exaggerated achievements, in the eyes of the refugees and the local indigenous officers and soldiers, can be regarded as a rare victory!
After all, they had fought against those demons for nearly three months. Regarding the power of the demons, their powerful strength, tough skin, terrifying spiritual energy, and endless various magics that violated the rules of physics, they survivors can be said to be I have already experienced it deeply and remembered it deeply.
Apart from anything else, this can be seen from the fact that the Canopy Star has almost completely fallen and nearly two-thirds of the human population have been brutally killed or transformed into demon servants.
Ever since!
When they saw that the base could really repel those terrifying monsters and those demons that emerged from the rifts in subspace, the survivors who were forced to linger in the underground mines had no idea about the base and the man who claimed to be from the planet Kprulu. The recognition of the human forces in the area instantly increased by several levels.
At this moment, they finally saw a glimmer of hope in despair, and even subconsciously regarded these humans from the Keprulu sector as saviors.
However, unlike the thoughts of the survivors, neither Darius nor the other heroic federal officers took the battle seriously, and they were still building and deploying intensively. The defense of the base was completed, and all the planning work for the advanced base in the abandoned mine was finally completed when night fell.
Although it took almost an entire day, the establishment of the base went quite smoothly in general.
The only problem is: until night falls, the demons that were repulsed during the day have not appeared again. I don’t know what their thoughts are or if they are brewing something. So for the time being. It’s unknown.
Anyway!
Whether it was Darius, the commander of the base, or other heroic Federation human officers, they had no time to care about what the refugees or demons thought, but they also had no intention of relaxing. They kept busy until daybreak. Hei, until all the work was completed and the most dangerous period of the base was over, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't dare to completely let go.
After all, the situation on this planet is really very bad right now.
Regarding this, regarding the seriousness and severity of it, just the real-time monitoring images transmitted from the Noxus in orbit, that is, the virtual tentacles of the huge subspace monsters spreading on the planet. It can be seen that the energy tide of the shadow and the planet becomes more and more turbulent and abnormal.
I don’t know what crazy evil things the rulers of this planet, those former psyker dignitaries, did, which actually caused the entire planet to almost completely coincide with the subspace. That situation is terrible. It's really not easy to deal with.
Anyway, this planet is currently being slowly assimilated into subspace, or is it being transformed into a world suitable for subspace demons to survive?
In the past, in a serious situation like this, the Hero Federation's approach was of course to use the large fleet to suppress it as soon as possible, then send out transport ships to rescue and transfer the survivors worth saving on a large scale, and finally wait until almost all the people were rescued. A few Star Destroyer Cannons fired directly from orbit destroyed the planet, the demons on the planet, and those twisted subspace energy tentacles, and ended them all in one fell swoop.
Because compared to the cost of expelling demons, preventing the invasion of subspace, and finally completely reversing this process, the price is really too great. The complexity of implementation is seriously out of proportion to the effort and reward. If the gain outweighs the loss, it would be simpler and more practical to just blow it up and then find a new planet for the survivors.
However, they can't do that right now!
The reason is, of course, the order given to them by the great Anne Head of the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector: Let them help the people on this planet and retake the planet from the hands of the devil!
Although, many officers, including Darius, knew that a certain bad little girl just wanted to play here. The idea of saving people and saving the planet was definitely not too urgent, but regardless of her reasons Or what is the purpose? Since the order has been issued, of course they, as subordinates, need to execute it unconditionally.
Even though the current situation is indeed very difficult, the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves is also very different. Currently, all that can be used is the poor flagship 'Noxus' and the limited manpower and material resources on the flagship. However, no matter how many No matter how bad the conditions are, as soldiers of the Federation of Heroes, as the guards of the Federation's most elite head of state, no matter how difficult the conditions are, no matter how bad the conditions are, they will create the conditions themselves and bite the bullet and complete the task. Complete it unconditionally!
Fortunately, the current situation on this planet does not seem to be so bad that they cannot bear and complete the task?
For example, when they first landed in the morning and started to set up base defense, when the subspace demons attacked, some rough data and strength intelligence of the opponent had already been controlled by them during the battle.
Although the strength of those monsters and demons is indeed a little stronger than the ordinary Zerg units in the star area, they are far from being completely invincible, and the key is that those demons have no physical defense. Whether it is an energy shield or the use of some weird subspace power, it is still within the scope of what they can understand and counterattack.
Therefore, as long as we get more data about the demons and develop and adjust the soldiers' weapons, armor, and mass-effective shields, there won't be much of a problem in dealing with those warp demons.
Of course, the current abandoned mine base cannot withstand the invasion of large-scale demons. If hundreds of thousands or millions of subspace demons appear in a short period of time and continue to attack the base, then directly If the ammunition and energy supply of the base are overloaded, they may have to directly use fusion weapons to wash the ground, and then let the base self-destruct in despair or be forced to fly into space, and then find another planet as a base.
But fortunately, the demons didn't seem to take them too seriously. At least after the round of probing attacks in the morning, the other party never came again, and the large number of satellites deployed in space orbit did not notice it. There are signs of a large-scale gathering of warp demons nearby.
In this regard, the speculation given by the military advisers at the forward base is that those subspace demons seem to prefer to stay in the city and party more than coming to this mountainous area to gnaw on such a hard bone. After all, there are still 20 to 30 million living people there, and the entire planet has a population of tens of billions, and there is basically no resistance, so there is no need to worry about the security of the base in a short period of time. worried.
one way or another!
After being on tenterhooks for a day, and seeing that the situation was basically similar to what the combat staff and adjutants had analyzed and guessed, Darius could finally feel relieved.
However, rest assured, he still has to do some necessary work and arrangements.
For example: arranging the affairs and various tasks of this forward base, instructing the officers and staff under his command to make plans for various situations, and asking the flagship in space to find a resource-rich planet in the system to start another project. A secondary base and having backup plans in place etc?
In short, after Darius had been busy all day, he and his officers finally took care of everything. In the next few days, in addition to executing the plan step by step and guarding against subspace demons at any time, Apart from the possible attack, he, the general, had nothing to worry about.
"Well?"
"that is……"
However, after a busy day, Darius was about to go back to wash up and sleep, but he suddenly discovered: To the east of his base, in front of an automatic sentry gun set up high next to the gate of the base, there was actually a person who was not The woman in their military uniform stood there blankly and looked at the distant figure?
And when he felt strange and subconsciously walked over to take a look, he suddenly realized that it was actually the indigenous female officer who was rescued by their leader Anne?
nature!
It may not be accurate to say that others are indigenous, because the technology of the other planet is actually not much different. At least others have also reached the level of interstellar navigation and colonization of the galaxy, but there are some gaps in their technology. Therefore, it should be said that they are indigenous. Is 'local' more accurate?
"It's her..."
Then, when he saw it clearly, he suddenly understood.
Now in this base, only the other party and another little girl who was also rescued by their own head of state can travel unimpeded and live in the Xiaobai spacecraft, while the other survivors and refugees are all Arranged in the abandoned mine, now apart from the other party, it is of course impossible for other unrelated people to wander around at this time.
"..."
After observing hesitantly for a while, he saw that the other party was just standing there staring blankly in the direction of the 'Guixu' city, looking at the faint firelight and occasional explosions on the horizon with a sad look on his face. Laius thought for a moment and felt that he was idle and had nothing to do, so he strode forward and prepared to chat.
"??"
The sound of CMC powered armor's footsteps on the ground was undoubtedly very clear and heavy, so of course that woman, that Wang Qing, was interrupted from her thoughts and turned around subconsciously.
"ah!"
"Is it you, General Darius?"
"how?"
"Don't you need to work?"
Then, after seeing clearly that the person who came was Darius, Wang Qing couldn't help but show a look of doubt and surprise on his face, and then he asked in a hurry.
"..."
Waving his hand, Darius did not speak in a hurry, but just signaled the other party not to be nervous.
Then, he walked to the other party's side and followed the direction in which the other party was looking slowly towards the Gui Market Market in the distance, which still had the faint light of fire and the sound of fighting. After that, he pretended to be relaxed and shrugged and replied. :
"Work?"
"ha!"
"I'm already off work!"
Yes, he is indeed off work.
Originally, he planned to go back to wash up and go to bed early, but now that he encountered them, he didn't mind chatting or anything.
"get off work?"
Wang Qing was startled at first, and looked at Darius's serious face and not-so-good expression with some surprise, then thought about it before asking tentatively:
"Is things not going well?"
"What's going on with the demons?"
Although she had repelled a wave of demon attacks during the day, she did not believe that the demons would let this large base hidden in the mountains go, nor did she believe that the demons would not come back again.
"Do not worry!"
"It'll be okay for now."
"The previous level of battle is nothing to us. As long as the demons don't rush over in millions, they are all within our control."
Seeing that the other party actually cared about him in turn, Darius couldn't help but laugh a little and comforted him with a hearty laugh.
"real?"
"you sure?"
Wang Qing had a hint of surprise on her face and continued to ask.
"All right!"
"Actually, we're not sure, but we've seen too many bad situations."
Recalling all the past events, Darius couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I think back then, we and the Führer were attacked by tens of billions or even more Zerg from an entire planet!"
"What do these demons count now?"
Yes.
The current situation on this planet reminded him of some past events from that year.
He still remembered that those bugs scared them so much at that time. When the sun-blocking bugs emerged from the interior of the planet and covered the ground and sky of the entire planet, he and their colonial fleet were frightened. His soul was almost gone, and he had to pack up and run away in despair, and their head of state, Anne, who was not yet the head of state, lost contact because of this.
Thinking about it now, Darius couldn't help but feel a little lucky that he was lucky enough not to die on that planet like some of his colleagues. Otherwise, how would he still have a part to play now?
"Zerg?"
"I see……"
Zerg or something like that, this was the first time Wang Qing heard that word, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and regarded it as an alien race similar to the rumored green-skinned orcs who were also very scary. treat.
"call!"
"The weather is so nice today!"
"Okay?"
"Is it not good?"
"Didn't you notice? There are no stars visible on this planet, and the sky has turned dark red."
"Haha, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."
"..."
"correct!"
"Forgot to ask, how did you meet our head of state?"
"She was the one who rescued me from the rescue capsule. I had been floating in the universe for more than two months at that time."
"Escape cabin?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Hahaha!"
"You may not believe it, but the head of state was fished out of a rescue cabin by us. Then as soon as the door was opened, she kicked a certain girl-controlled guy hard!"
"Sister, sister control?"
"what does that mean?"
"ah!"
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about that kind of thing."
"..."
"..."
In this way, after breaking up the topic, the two began to chat for a long time, and also discussed some issues about the development of this abandoned mine base and some issues about the resettlement of refugees and survivors. They even exchanged some relatively private experiences with each other.
"how?"
"Is there anything on your mind about staying here if you don't go to bed at night?"
It was not until the end, when the two parties became familiar with each other and there was nothing left to talk about, and seeing that the woman still looked sad, that Darius thought about it and finally asked tentatively:
"Tell me?"
"Maybe I can help?"
Darius said that he was definitely not motivated by sex or that he was full and had nothing to do.
He was simply curious and wanted to ask, and since the other party seemed to have a good relationship with his own Head of State Anne, as a subordinate, he could help out a little when the Head of State was away, care about the other party, and try his best to We can provide some help within our ability, which is just some basic etiquette and hospitality.
Although the other party is indeed very beautiful, especially in line with his Darius aesthetics, he has no shortage of women, and the other party is still relatively young compared to him. So a little bit, so he definitely doesn't bother to imitate that shameless guy Galen!
"I……"
"My home is in Guixi Market, and I'm worried about them."
"I don't know what's going on..."
After staring at Darius, the woman finally couldn't help but voice her worries softly.
But there is no use worrying!
Because now Guixi Market has fallen into the hands of the devil, and almost three months have passed. Her reason also tells her that her family is probably gone, but she still can't help but go. Think and worry.
"Is that so?"
"Although I want to help you, we have no plans to provoke the demons in the city yet. Even a tentative reconnaissance mission will only happen in half a month."
Hearing that it was exactly what he expected, Darius thought for a while and shook his head, not daring to offer help in a big way.
"..."
Wang Qing didn't seem surprised by this, because she herself knew that it was really not allowed under the current situation and conditions.
"so!"
"Can you go and see it together then?"
"But you must first sign up for our Marine Corps and join our base!"
"And before that, you must become familiar with our equipment and fighting methods as soon as possible, otherwise the group of brats under my command will not be willing to take you there."
Then, seeing the other party's expression, Darius thought for a moment and had to add quickly.
In any case, the other party is also a friend of their Head of State Anne. Although he cannot provide immediate help, he can provide some convenience to the other party within his scope of authority, and then set the investigation location to a place that the other party is familiar with. area, then there must be no major problems.
"ah!"
"Is it really possible?"
"Thanks!"
"I will!"
"I have seen the recruitment notice, and I will do as you say tomorrow!"
Hearing this, he didn't expect Darius to provide such convenience, so Wang Qing nodded quickly and said excitedly that he would go all out.
After all, if she dared to run into that city, she would definitely be dead. However, if she went on a mission with the soldiers of this base, that would be another matter.
"Then you have to work harder. Our training is not simple, and the intensity may far exceed that of your original planetary force?"
"correct!"
While talking, Darius suddenly thought of something again, and then he suggested hesitantly:
"Maybe……"
"Can you ask Head of State Anne?"
"She is investigating (shuǎ) in that city right now. You can consider asking her for help and asking her to go to your house first if it is convenient?"
Thinking of a certain troubled little head of state who had not returned yet, Darius, who had never dared to contact him, suddenly came up with such a bad idea to give his head of state a mission.
"ah?"
"May I?"
Hearing Darius's proposal, Wang Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded and surprised.
Of course she knew about Anne's absence, but what she didn't expect was that the general in front of her, Darius, would be so relieved and let the little guy run into such a dangerous place alone. Not only was he not worried, Not only did he not want to find it or send someone to respond, but he also encouraged himself to cause trouble to the other party?
"Ha ha!"
Seeing Wang Qing's strange look, Darius quickly waved his hand, and then continued to pretend to be cheerful:
"I don't know if it's appropriate. Anyway, can you go back to the spaceship and ask Xiaobai to contact her to try?"
"There should be a way to contact it."
"but……"
"Don't ever say it was me who suggested it!"
"That's all, you should go back and rest early!"
After saying that, before Wang Qing, who still looked surprised, could ask anything else, he waved his hand and turned around and left as if running away.
