Chapter 462 Confrontation, past and choice

The airship formation continued their voyage across the Xizhou Plain and then back to the Industrial Alliance. At least a quarter of the Xizhou people witnessed the scene of a huge fish-shaped spaceship slowly passing through the sky, even the one with a sky city above their heads People in the mist will be deeply shocked by it, so the impact on the people of Xizhou will only be more intense.

This kind of shock even makes them no longer able to choose independently whether to pay attention to the news of the Industrial Alliance.

Although the unmistakable flag of the Industrial Alliance is painted on the ship, since the direction of the spaceship is the country of fog, it has caused another concern about the relationship between the two, especially the Ghost Rider of the country of fog. The Alliance Chamber of Commerce is haunted, and no one knows what happened in the mist, so in the eyes of Xizhou people, this is proof of the closer relationship between the two parties.Even though the Alliance never admits that they have established an offensive and defensive alliance with the Mist Country, their speed of expansion to all parts of the West Continent has obviously become faster because of this, and the power to resist this expansion has become weaker——

Even if the Federation of Industry has united with the Mist, it seems better to fall to one side than the unpredictable other.

This airship voyage has caused many long-term effects, but as far as the moment is concerned, the members of the voyage have successfully completed their travel tasks, except for the accident that the commander of this operation was taken to the hospital for examination just after landing. Their itinerary was generally smooth, and they collected a lot of important data, which confirmed the stability and superiority of this vehicle, and brought back gifts from various foreign affairs personnel to the operators who urgently needed their safe return.

The token designated by King Fatres of the first generation was handed over to Yun Shen by Meravia.

Even though it has been proved by the hands of Meravia that it is not directly dangerous, the safety supervision department still consulted Yun Shen and sent it to the inspection laboratory for a round of inspection, and then it was transferred to the same place for completion. Takla, who tested his ability, brought it to Yunshen again.

When Takla put it on the conference table, Yunshen stood up, walked over and put his hands on its surface, this box was sent from the Fatales Guard to the hands of foreign affairs personnel to the laboratory. There was a short "beep" sound, and the verification was passed. Several regular cracks appeared on its amazingly hard shell, like an insect opening its carapace, and it began to deform.

Yun Shen returned to his seat and quietly watched it finish its transformation, like a small and delicate base, with light shining from the top of the legs protruding from the edge, the light interweaves from multiple dimensions, making a tall man's body The figure emerges from the air.

When the figure of King Fatales appeared, in the central city of the seventh administrative region thousands of miles away, a black-haired young man closed his eyes in an office with only one person.

The extraordinary consciousness covering an unimaginably vast area was strengthened again in a specific direction, and the various "spiritual fields" that enveloped that meeting room were replaced by a melting pale gold background color when everyone was ignorant , when he opened his eyes again, everything was clearly visible before his eyes.

He could still clearly feel the body temperature and breathing of the people around him, no one noticed him coming, only that person slightly tilted his head, so Fan Tianlan calmly sat down on the chair next to him, and then looked at the opposite Holographic communicator.

King Fatales is in a gorgeously decorated and lifeless stone room, no buildings can be seen outside the window, only the endless blue sky and the sea of ​​white clouds, the dark background is revealed from the surging waves of the sea of ​​clouds, The waves were rising—or rather, the space he was in was sinking toward the sea of ​​clouds.The people in the meeting room could see the environment of the first generation king who was supposed to be a historical figure, and the other party could also see the background of this meeting room as a matter of course. He looked around with a pair of tired and indifferent eyes, and finally Falling on Yun Shen's face, he stared deeply at those black eyes.

"Your Majesty Fatales." Yun Shen said.

"A traveler in another world and a changer of the times, 'Sorcerer'." Fatales said, "You have a pair of very special eyes."

He moved his eyes slightly, and nodded to the person next to him.

"However—you are the real accident, Dragon Lord. It has been 200 years since the last farewell. I am surprised that you have come to this world. It is even more surprising that someone can make you come here involuntarily. What's worse is that you haven't done anything to the world for such a long time," Fatales said flatly.

Meravia smiled at him.

"There's nothing to do," said the Dragon Lord. "Before he came, the world was pretty boring, so I went to sleep for a while."

"I also think the world is boring," Fatales said. "So you want to go back?"

What he asked was Meravia, but his eyes were on Yun Shen. "As soon as the rift reopens, you'll be back in no time," he said.

"Are you asking me to help you?" Meravia asked.

"If possible, you'd better not use your power in Middle Continent." Fatales said, "Actually, the one who made me want to make the request is this Lord 'Sorcerer'."

"What kind of help do you want from me?" Yun Shen asked.

Fatales said calmly: "I hope you will take over the Mist Country and the Western Continent Plain, and control at least half of Middle Continent."

Outside the window behind him, the blue sky was receding, white altocumulus clouds slowly crumbling down.

No one spoke in the meeting room for a while.But silence does not mean calm. Among the other participants who were ignored by the king, some raised their eyebrows, some moved their bodies restlessly in their seats, or exchanged glances with each other, and some bowed their heads and wrote quickly on the paper.

Only Yun Shen and Meravia remained calm.

"You don't have to tell me that you don't have the will or the ability." Fatales continued, "Especially you from another world, the black-haired magician, you should know better than anyone else what you have created. What kind of monster. No matter this kind of production relationship, or the "liberator" who can only survive in this kind of production relationship, is the embodiment of your will in this world. Unless all injustice and misfortune judged by your criteria are eliminated , otherwise they will not stop, and you are as focused on pursuing this purpose as an unprecedented tyrant, is that so?"

After a while, "Your Majesty Fatales." Yun Shen said slowly, "Everything has a cause and effect. As you who once led everyone to fight against the invasion of the alien world, you brought the key to restart the rift in the floating city to Central Continent. World, what are you really after?"

"Traveler from another world, you can unite dragons, elves, and many other races by your side. You have talents and charms far superior to mediocre people in the world. If you came to the last era of rift, even I would bring the leader of the human race together. The position was handed over." Fatales said, "200 years of uninterrupted time may be enough for you to make the Central Continent humans develop enough strength to fight against the Rift Demons and win this war."

"So, you're too late," he said.

A flash of lightning illuminated his eyebrows, the city in the sky was sinking into the sea of ​​storms, the blue sky had already been covered by layers of clouds and mist, snake-like lightning flashed in the black waves, the stone chamber automatically lit up with a soft light source, faint thunder The sound came from outside the window, and Fatales' voice was still steady, with an unconcealable tiredness.

"However, this sentence has no other meaning except to prove the failure of the Central Continent race. If a race must rely on the mercy of the enemy or the help of outsiders to gain a chance of survival, it is enough to prove that it is not worth continuing." He said coldly, " All that I have ever sought is at an end. As a ghost about to perish, what I say here are only words that are beneficial to your interests, and the power to decide is always in your hands."

He paused here, looking into Yun Shen's eyes.

"First of all, I want to start with the war 200 years ago. Although the source of things was far before that, the people of Central Continent started from knowing nothing to seeing something, it was from that war, no matter the name What the Dragon Clan has revealed to you, I will only talk about everything I know, and you can find the true meaning by yourself." He said calmly, "The battle of the rift 200 years ago was almost a disaster for the Central Continent people. , but for the fissure demons, it is just a preview of the upcoming battle. The worlds at both ends of the rift are closely connected beyond imagination. Perhaps you can imagine it as two spinning tops facing each other in a distorted space. Any An imbalance in one side will lead to the end of all. At least 200 years ago, the world on the other side of the rift was already on the verge of imbalance."

"For the continuation of the race, they have formulated an extremely large and amazing plan. The purpose is to migrate the rift races to the Middle-earth world to survive. The middle-earth races are still creeping through history. They have solved most of the Regarding the problem of space stability. When this long-term plan reached the last few steps, they decided to start the first rift war. Because even if the Middle-earth world and the rift world seem to have the same origin, the slight difference in the nature of the world will still make the settlers Life is alienated by the environment. This may cause the advanced life leading this plan to lose the powerful power they rely on. For this, they need to use enough life to conduct large-scale experiments for them to verify their theory."

He said blankly: "The hero team that went to the cracked world back then is the successful product of this war experiment."

Countless lightning burst out suddenly, intertwined into a giant net that tore the sky.

"In fact, this group of people has been wiped out in that world."

"The entire army was wiped out," Yun Shen asked softly, "instead of all sacrifices?"

Fatales was silent for a moment, and said, "If they don't come back to life and become traitors to the world."

The world seems to be cut into two parts, one part is buried deep in the storm of endless darkness, and the other part is shrouded in infinite light.This conversation lasted from noon to evening. During this process, the thunder in the background did not stop for a moment. It seemed that there was only this shimmering room left in the opposite world, like a motionless island. The tiredness in the King's eyes became more and more It gets thicker and thicker, but the sound is always stable and clear.

People listened intently to his narration. The sun was shining outside the window of the meeting room, which is the sunny weather in summer. The indoor breeze was gentle. Amidst the sound of rustling strokes, as the sketch paper on the table became thicker and thicker, the swaying tree shadows slowly crawled. Going up the window lattice, the spots of light danced on the white wall, the King of People stopped, this was a rest longer than any pause in the middle, and then he let out a long breath like a sigh, and said in a hoarse voice:

"That's all I can tell you."

A pen rolled off the table, and was picked up by a hand trembling from too much force. In the same tired silence, Yun Shen said: "This is what we have gained since we realized the war... The most comprehensive knowledge of the past and the future. This information is as irreplaceably valuable to us as you are to the world where no one knows."

"As for your proposal for the development of the industrial alliance, we will consider it most carefully." He said, "Once the collective will makes a decision, we will implement it to the end."

Fatales said: "The future in my eyes is only darkness, as if my blood has long since cooled. But I know that young people will never give up hope. Maybe you can use this last retreat to create a billionth Miracles of One, as you have been trying to create."

"Even if you still fail in the end, you should fight for the final honor for mankind."

The conversation is over.

The young man in the far north opened his eyes, took back the spiritual body that had been placed in this meeting room, took a stack of draft paper from the side, picked up a pen and started writing.

In the meeting room shrouded in twilight in the industrial city, the light screen had just been turned off, and everyone was still digesting the amazing information they received this afternoon. Taklar quickly got up, took the chair back, and walked a few steps over to block the main camera with his body. Before—it proved that he made the right choice with his actions. The holographic communicator made a crackling sound like a short circuit, and began to melt and collapse. In the blink of an eye, it became almost invisible metal residue. It was found that most of the other recording devices were damaged to varying degrees due to the strong pulse, and only the main camera almost completely preserved the most comprehensive information.

These devices were moved out of the conference room as quickly as possible, the wreckage of the holographic communicator was carefully collected in a lead box and sent to the research institute, and the video records and text records were copied the most times in the shortest time, first the intelligence The work of custody, and then the work of intelligence analysis.In addition to the information collected by the airship cruise, all of these will be synthesized into a summary report and approved, and will be delivered to the friendly partners of the centers of each administrative region and the industrial alliance through secret channels in the shortest possible time.

It is predictable to a certain extent what kind of impact these first-hand information from those who have experienced the Rift War and the Rift World will have on people, even if they still do not have a very effective way to verify this information, it is only a matter of time .People logically accept their truth.

Believing in this information means believing that the "restart of the rift" is imminent, and the world and the races in Middle Continent are facing the crisis of extinction.

But after finishing the work at hand, walking out of those closed rooms with the sleepiness of staying up late, breathing the fresh air in the morning, watching the dawn light up from behind the mountains, the darkness receding, and the magnificent city bathed in morning light, a strong feeling A sense of unreality permeates people's minds.

This world is so beautiful and full of vitality, how can danger come in the next moment?

How can it be ephemeral, illusory, and easily shattered that they have created so many proud results through hard and joyful work, and thousands of people have been freed from hunger and slavery?

The Industrial Alliance has never lost in any war since its birth. People have the confidence to face all challenges in this world, but they may lose these advantages when facing the crack race. The mode of war will no longer be simple. They have to Be prepared for brutal sacrifices.They know this, but the fear is still unreal, because the enemy is in another world, and it hasn't started yet.

Even hatred...

But emotions do not affect people's actions at all. The bigger the machine, the less likely it is to be disturbed by people.More and more documents are exported from the industrial city, and more and more materials are transferred between the various administrative districts. The people of the industrial alliance are still continuing their focused work and fulfilling life, but at the same time they feel the gears meshing, the axles The surging power transmitted by the rotation.

People feel the breath of war, but understand them in another direction.

As for the rebel messenger who arrived at the Industrial Alliance by airship, there was no comparison. He didn't know what was happening in this country that was so powerful beyond his imagination. He only knew that he had come to a fantastic new world.The Alliance people made thoughtful and appropriate arrangements for him. While waiting to meet the high-ranking figures of the Alliance, he was like a thirsty and hungry traveler who had just left the desert, desperately absorbing all the knowledge he could get.He took various means of transportation to various places, visited factories, farms, breeding farms and many other facilities that ensure the alliance people can have a happy life, witnessed a completely new way of life with his own eyes, and left credible evidence to bring to those who still suffer in the Mists.

One morning when he woke up from a dream, the room attendant had already placed several "thick books" on the table in the outside living room. When he sat on the sofa and opened them, he was surprised to find that these were all the books in every place he had been to. collection of pictures.He gently stroked the clean and rough surfaces of these photos with trembling hands, and his young heart was almost burst by strong and complex emotions.

What a rich and great country this is, and how happy it is to be its subjects... It is the best fate they can imagine for the rebels to get the help of this country.

They shouldn't think about anything more.

Portfolios of different thicknesses were piled high on the table, looking at the photos covering the rest of the space, Takla fell into thought.

Wells has just come to take a batch of photos, which were taken from the air during the airship tour. One can imagine the various reactions that will inevitably be caused after being published on the newspaper. The people of the alliance will feel excited, honored, and experience new types of transportation. The desire for tools, but for countries and regions outside the alliance, their experimental flight has richer meanings.With the size of the airship, the most important thing is this unprecedented mode of transportation, no one with the common sense of governance will think that they are just a means of transportation.

Reports about them get the most attention, which helps the publicity department drive public opinion for the league's next move.

Strategy, tactics, based on the strength of the alliance, they don't need to think too tortuously.Those who are hostile to the alliance may be right about one thing, that is, the alliance is indeed better at subverting... at least it has more experience in subverting other countries' regimes.The interests of the alliance do not allow such a threatening force at such a close distance, and the meaning of the birth of the liberators also makes it difficult for them to tolerate the cruel slavery that is happening on the other side, but——

If the actual situation is as the first generation King Fatales said, the nobles of Tiancheng have already started the energy cycle of the city by activating the emergency management system. The city already has the ability to transmit coordinates to another world, and then establish hyperspace positioning, and can execute programs locked in the underlying logic of the intelligent management system.There are two ways to start this program, one is the end of the countdown, and the other is: "restart".

Set aside the countdown for now.

It is not the real "restart" that the nobles of Tiancheng are pursuing to restart the city's self-manufacturing ability folded in the bottom space. There is only one condition for turning on this switch, that is, the city activates the city-level engine in the deep space of the main control tower.

The people of Tiancheng know the energy reserves of the city.It's just that the nobles of Tiancheng, headed by Prince Rand, pursue absolute power and worship the power of the city shown to them by the management system. Therefore, unless they feel a great crisis, they will not easily give up the right to gain the real right to rule the city in a proper way. "decoupled" from the ground.And among the three roads, the only one they can take is also without their knowledge, because of the existence of the industrial alliance, it is almost impossible to complete-because that road requires them to be in the city. The scanning range of the system has the highest production technology and the most complete production capacity.

After Fatales once again summoned the management system in the name of an agent, the city reassessed the current users, expanded the scope of the scan, included the industrial alliance into the comparison object, and then passed the unprecedented Anti-jamming filtering and ultra-long computations prioritize the country over existing users.

No matter how blindly confident the nobles of Tiancheng are, they will not think that they can surpass the strength of the Industrial Alliance in a short period of time.If they feel the pressure from the alliance, they may manipulate the city to leave the current area.

Once the city's motors are fired, the Riftworld will be sensed and the Rift will restart.

So the league is now facing a dilemma similar to that of Fatales.

The phone at hand rang, and Takla picked it up.

"Hey?"

"It's me." Fan Tianlan said.
