"Li Liang, it turns out that your decision is wise," Bond said with a serious expression. "Since the contracting civilization implements collective defense, if humans join the alliance, they must also send troops to participate in the war."
Join the war?
Li Liang knew very well that the so-called participating in the war was just a euphemism.
Even with him as a "demigod" in appearance, humans cannot have a say in the alliance. Once involved in the war with the Zerus Zerg, they will be destined to be cannon fodder. With the military power of humans, an encounter will You have to explain everything in the battle.
After Teemo passed the newspaper to Allen, he squinted and asked, "How is the situation on the front line?"
"It's very pessimistic. When the Alliance declared war on the goblins, the Third Infantry Regiment that was supposed to reinforce the Ikan defense line was temporarily rerouted. Later, the Alliance deployed three more legions, including the most critical First Legion. The Zerus Zerg noticed the defense. The alliance was weak and took advantage of the weakness. The alliance lost three lines of defense in a row. If nothing else, the Kington Line could not be held. Then there was only the last fortress left, the Makanoi Gate." Bond looked ugly.
"This..." Allen flipped through the "Makosik Times" and said anxiously, "Can Mamen be defended?"
Bond said solemnly: "In addition to Makosik and Du Yujing, the Council of Law and Order has also issued a mobilization order. The Nordrassil Council, the Pantheon, the Pan-Inorganic Convention Organization, and the United Kingdom of the Central Territory have assembled troops to rush for reinforcements. The Void Sea, no matter what, Mamen cannot be lost. Once the mother body of Zerus nests at the jump point, there will be no barrier between the Void General Domain and the Central General Domain, and other void creatures will march straight in. The consequences..."
Everyone fell silent.
Bond sighed: "This will be a long-lasting battle. The Tifami reinforcements have already departed. The consul asked me to leave for the front line immediately, but I think I should say goodbye to you before leaving." Lean.
"Take care, my brother," Li Liang stretched out his hand with a solemn expression.
Bond stepped up and shook his hand vigorously, then nodded to Teemo, Allen and Cain, then put on his round hat and turned to leave. However, after taking only a dozen steps, he turned back and shouted hurriedly: "Yes. Now, my student Yefa will take over my job. The cooperation between Tifami and humans will not be interrupted, and the spaceship and weapons orders will be delivered as scheduled. In addition, I will come back before the opening of the Gate of Human Spirituality!"
Li Liang smiled and said: "You must come, Master Bond."
"Goodbye~~~" Bond jumped on his feet and waved before the hatch closed.
Li Liang watched the special service ship slowly take off into the sky, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
for a long time.
Allen murmured: "What should we do if Mamen is lost?"
"Hmph," Timo sneered, "You underestimated the alliance and Du Yujing. Do you really believe that the Icahn defense line fell because the alliance withdrew three legions, leaving the defense empty?"
"Ah?" Allen reacted, "You mean..."
"How could the Alliance make such a stupid mistake after fighting bugs for so many years?" Teemo tapped the newspaper in Allen's hand with his piccolo. "Previously, the "Makosik Times" revealed that the Alliance wiped out civilization when it took over the spiritual core mine, haha Len Porter has not expressed his position, and now... looking at this mobilization order, the Terensa people have become Makosik's close partners again."
"Isn't it possible," Allen said in disbelief, "Just to change public opinion?"
Teemo said slowly: "The Alliance has always claimed that they resisted the Zerus Zerg out of justice. In fact, the Terranza people relied on the war with Zerus to continuously improve the cohesion of the contracting civilizations and strengthen trade exchanges. At the same time, he trained one powerful legion after another, and then intervened in the internal affairs of other civilizations as the guardian of the spiritual world, controlled the puppet regime, and promoted interests.
The alliance is actually based on a belief, that is, carbon-based organisms are the most perfect ethnic group in the spiritual world, and the system and culture of carbon-based organisms are the best. Therefore, public opinion is very important to the alliance, and they are going to use a big battle War of scale helps other civilizations remember this. "
"But if the mother body of Zerus forms a nest..."
"This is not the first time," Teemo interrupted. "Historically, the Zerus Zerg crossed the Void Sea many times, and were driven back to their hometown every time."
Li Liang finally understood why Teemo was called the "Yordle Hero". This scout captain with an artifact in his hand was not only powerful, but also had an outstanding mind and vision.
He took the newspaper from Allen and reread the mobilization article written by Harlan Porter, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
What if Teemo guesses wrong?
Goblins... spiritual core mines... public opinion... war...
He asked softly: "Is it possible that Harlan Potter learned to 'lead the wolf into the house' from carbon-based organisms?"
Timo and Allen were stunned at the same time.
Cain smiled: "Exactly what I thought."
"Are you saying that Harlan Potter and the Zerus swarm set up a trap? Impossible," Allen shouted. "Even if his conspiracy succeeds, Emperor Haotian cannot sit back and watch the alliance collapse."
Li Liang closed the newspaper, turned around and looked at Denali City under the night sky, and said in a low voice: "What if Emperor Haotian dies?"
"It's even more impossible," Allen grinned, obviously feeling that this assumption was too outrageous.
However, Teemo seemed to remember something, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Tiangong Imperial City..."
Allen noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and said in fear: "What's wrong with Emperor Haotian?"
"It's okay, it's just a hypothesis." Li Liang turned around and patted Allen on the shoulder, "Maybe it's like Captain Teemo said, everything is the alliance's plan, that's the best."
When he discovered that the fluid creature in front of him was sincerely worried about carbon-based creatures, he was somewhat moved.
"Whether it's directing or acting or leading a wolf into the house, we'll know soon," Cain shrugged and smiled again after a moment, "The gods probably have to work overtime these days."
"Why?" Allen wondered.
"Think about it, once the war starts, how many magicians will summon the gods at the same time..."
"..."
At this time.
Li Liang said helplessly: "God doesn't need to work overtime, it's us who work overtime."
The sound of engines came from far away, and another special service ship arrived.
After landing, the hatch opened and Robben, the group and Li Anqiao appeared at the same time.
"What a damn crow's mouth..." Cain cursed dejectedly.
——
The meeting lasted from midnight until morning.
In fact, after the last time "Makosik Times" exposed the alliance's extermination of civilization, Li Liang had already considered the worst case scenario and held meetings for three days in a row. The projects that should be accelerated were not missed. This meeting only confirmed the progress. .
Rome was not built in a day. No matter how bad the situation is, spacecraft manufacturing and military training cannot be accomplished overnight, and mankind cannot develop explosively.
However, he did learn about the Void Sea and the Void Domain from the information brought back by Robben.
The Void Sea and the Dark Spirit Sea have a similar structure. They are both composed of billions of transition points that change all the time, and the transition points to the central domain are hidden among them.
The river toads who guard the shores of the Eternal Tide are the ferrymen of the Dark Spirit Sea, and the Zerus Zerg are the overlords of the Void Sea. However, unlike the river toads who believe in the Naaru, the Zerus Zerg have always coveted the center filled with spirits. total domain.
Since ancient times, the aboriginal people have established a defense line in the Void Sea. Later, the spiritual door was opened, and civilizations from the spiritual world entered the central domain, ushering in the era of great chaos. The Zerus Zerg crossed the Void Sea and expanded wantonly. Until the Titans reestablished order, they were driven back to their hometown. They made a comeback during the War of the Gods, and were expelled again after the war.
Just as the Toad people can accurately find the turning point to the central domain, the Zerus swarm can also find the correct passage in the ever-changing Void Sea by "building a nest".
As long as the "mother body" nests at the transition point, it is equivalent to building a stable channel. Not only can the Zerus swarm pass through, but also the immeasurable terrifying creatures in the void domain will also pour into the central domain.
Therefore, from the aborigines to the Terrantha Alliance, defenders of all ages have established lines of defense outside the spiritual gate of the Zerus Zerg to prevent the Zerg from approaching the Void Sea. Among them, the Icahn Defense Line was established thousands of years ago and includes several Thousands of fortresses interlock with each other, and the Makanoi Gate, referred to as the Mamen Gate, has a long history that can be traced back to ancient times. It was built by the indigenous people and is a giant "bridgehead".
Now the Zerus swarm has reached Mamen, and is only one step away from the central territory.
"Qishan City" has just "imported" a newspaper vending machine, which is driven by a spiritual core. The update will be a beat slower than that of the central general area. If you want to know the follow-up battle situation, you can only wait patiently.
The meeting ended with a not-so-luxurious breakfast. When we walked off the spaceship side by side, facing the rising sun simulated by the Denali canopy, Captain Teemo said: "If we really lead a wolf into the house, we may be doomed."
Li Liang was silent for a long time and sighed: "Ignorance is not the biggest obstacle to survival, arrogance is."
