"Then I'll go back first. There are still many things to do in the Realm of Gods."
When the fleet was about to enter the Empire's territory, Father God walked over and put Cyndia on the ground. He chuckled and said to us. Cyndia quickly turned into a little black cat and jumped onto Xiaoxue's head. She wagged her tail and said goodbye to her father.
"Uh, you're leaving now?" I was stunned. "You're already here. Aren't you going to stay at home?"
Father God glanced at us and said slowly, "I guess you have a lot of things to do. Let's talk about it next time. Cyndia will leave you. This child is quite mischievous. Please bear with her. If she's really disobedient, send me a letter. I'll let her learn tongue twisters from the Dragon God. "
Cyndia suddenly "meowed". The fur all over her body stood up, and her tail stiffened like an iron rod.
Father God smiled and waved at everyone. He opened a teleportation gate and teleported back to the Realm of Gods in the next second.
The huge Empire fleet was reorganized at the border world. The reinforcements brought by Sandora returned directly to the original base. As for the Vengeance Fleet and Sicaros' fleet, due to serious damage, their ships in the worst condition were sent to the nearest military world through a springboard, where they would be repaired until they could return to the battlefield. The other ships in better condition carried the souls of the fallen soldiers, surrounded by the chattering Warsong, and returned to the shadow space with us.
Sicaros had consumed a lot of energy in this battle, and his performance on the battlefield was quite manly. This was more or less comforting. First of all, he would definitely not be able to run around and ruin the city's appearance in the near future. Second, he finally remembered that his original job was as a military officer, so I would probably have less to worry about. Many of his men were lost in the battle, but the good news was that the members of the Heavy Defense Legion were a special race. They were especially strengthened in defense, survivability, and cooperation in battle. Of course, this also included the strength of their own souls. Therefore, even if they died in battle, the difficulty of resurrecting them was much lower than other apostles. This was also the strength of the Shiring Apostles. You could often destroy their fleet and make them lose combat power for a short time, but you could hardly completely destroy an apostle, so he always had time to make a comeback. Apart from the complete death of Sicaros' soldiers, whose souls were scattered by psionic energy and could not be resurrected, most of them stayed in the temporary soul storage. He now had to bring his soldiers to line up for resurrection, so he disappeared as soon as he returned to the shadow city.
… I hope he really just brought his soldiers to line up for resurrection … Why do I have a bad feeling …
Alright, let's put the matter of Sicaros aside first. I still have to return my attention to the various miscellaneous tasks after the battle.
The damaged fleet needed to be repaired, a large number of soldiers that died in battle needed to be resurrected, and the number of soldiers that could not be resurrected also needed to be counted. The information gathered during the ambush had to be merged into the Empire's database, and the newly exposed types of troops and combat methods of the Fallen Apostles had to be researched immediately. The shortcomings that the fleet had revealed after the ambush also had to be made up for. During the ambush, the greatest crisis that we encountered was always the destruction of the gravity trap generator. Although it was inevitable that the gravity trap generator would be destroyed due to the enemy's ferocious offensive and their large numbers, it had to be admitted that when facing the Fallen Apostles who knew the Empire's technology like the back of their hands, if we could make more targeted defenses in advance, the losses could have been further reduced.
I believed that the Fallen Apostles were doing the same thing. It could even be said that the Fallen Apostle general who organized this ambush was probably as depressed as I was. The other party was definitely looking forward to an even greater result. Moreover, looking at the troops that they had invested, they were determined to annihilate the Admiral of the Empire. Yet, in the end, they were forced to give up in a nearly one-for-one battle situation. This definitely couldn't be considered a great success for the planners of the ambush.
It would have been great if they hadn't succeeded in seizing the EN-166 sample in the end …
All of these miscellaneous tasks required me to be involved in. As someone who carried the burden, the things that I had to bear weren't as simple as burying my head in the battlefield. Only the soldiers could rest after the battle, and the ones who couldn't take a break the most were the generals. These were Sandora's exact words. Actually, the tasks that I faced were already very easy. Most of the tasks were shared by Sandora. Furthermore, as a combat race, the Schilling soldiers' post-battle tasks were close to zero. Although it was a little inappropriate to put it this way, it really reduced a lot of the workload for me and Sandora.
When I was finally freed from the chores of the entire day, it was already time for the Shadow City to welcome the evening lights.
Sandora and I walked out of the headquarters side by side. We looked like people who had finally finished working overtime. Facing the cold military plaza, we both let out a long sigh of relief at the same time. The cool breeze that blew against our faces made our groggy heads feel a little better. Sandora probably didn't feel this way. She probably used a radiator to dissipate heat. Yep, I guessed that was the case.
"Actually, you should go rest." Sandora probably noticed that I didn't look well, so her tone was filled with concern. "The exhaustion of mental power is sometimes more troublesome than physical injuries. I heard that in the end, you took over the entire fleet's combined shield by yourself. When will you stop fighting so desperately?"
"I can't help it." I chuckled. "You see, I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to commanding. Other than being able to fight and resist, I wasn't of much use at that time."
Sandora lowered her head and seemed to chuckle. However, in the end, she didn't say anything. She just silently raised her head and looked up at the unique night sky of the Shadow City.
There was never a lack of scenery in the night sky of the Shadow City. In the dark velvet night sky, bright spots of light could often be seen streaking across the sky. Those were the patrolling Ravens and individual fighter aircrafts. Occasionally, blurry huge shadows could be seen moving slowly in the sky accompanied by light arrays. These were mostly spaceships that were carrying out night navigation, passing between the Shadow City and the Shadow City. In the clear and cloudless night sky, you could vaguely see the land on the dome. The rivers and mountains reflected each other. There was another sky, another layer of clouds, another piece of land. That was the mother planet, Gaia, which was always far away from the Shadow City. The surface of Gaia was covered with huge military facilities. Psionic obelisks and radiation coils formed a matrix that constantly emitted active energy. Every once in a while, there would be an exchange of energy between the upper atmosphere of the planet and the Shadow City, forming a magnificent aurora curtain that spread across the entire sky. This was the most beautiful scene in the Shadow City. There were even people who would specifically wait at the entrance of the aurora curtain just to post on Weibo …
"It's said that under the aurora curtain, the first ten people who make a wish will receive the blessing of Gaia, and their dreams will come true," Sandora suddenly said. I was stunned. "Who said that?" "It's an urban legend.
It's all kinds of strange stories that were born out of boredom. "Sandora raised the Information Terminal in her hand." At first, there were people who said that making a wish under a meteor would make their wish come true. Then, Ravens started throwing rocks from the asteroid belt to attract business. Then, there were people who said that making a wish under a cherry blossom tree would make their wish come true. Then, the Goddess of Life made the cherry blossoms bloom for an entire year last year. Then, there were people who said that picking up an angel's feather would make their wish come true. Shallow Shallow tore your pillow apart and prepared to open a shop to sell. In the end, people had no choice but to spread the rumor that the aurora curtain carried the blessing of Gaia … "
I was speechless.
"It's actually quite interesting, isn't it?" Sandora shrugged and pointed to the sky. "Look, a reverse meteor!"
I looked up. A bright meteor was indeed flying across the sky, forming a slight arc in the sky. It flew further and further, higher and higher, before finally disappearing.
Sandora said, "This is a reverse meteor. It fell into Gaia's atmosphere. In the past, there was a legend that making a wish on a reverse meteor would make your dream come true. For a long period of time, ravens would throw rocks at Gaia every night … "
I was speechless.
Just like that, I chatted aimlessly with Sandora as we slowly wandered along the small path to the periphery of the military zone. After sitting in Silvia's shop for a while, my mood finally calmed down. Seeing that it was getting late, and more importantly, Silvia's shop was running out of food, I returned home with Sandora.
"We're back!"
When I reached the living room, I greeted them out of habit. No matter when or where, no matter why I left home, I would always greet them like that. It was a habit that I had developed since young. Hearing my voice, my sister popped her head out from the kitchen with a warm smile on her face. "Oh, hurry up and wash your hands. It's time for dinner."
Just like when I was young, I obediently ran to wash my hands at my sister's command. When I returned to the living room, I saw that my family had already gathered, and they were fighting for seats as usual. The scene before me made me feel a little strange … Yeah, I couldn't describe it. Even though an intense battle had just ended, and a few of the people at the scene had barely escaped death, Shallow Shallow might have just woken up from a deep slumber, but the house still returned to its original state so quickly. Even though the atmosphere around me was unavoidably solemn, the warm and relaxing atmosphere didn't change at all despite the battle that had just ended. I didn't know how to explain this situation — — Perhaps unknowingly, our family had finally gotten used to this kind of daily routine. Going out to fight a battle to the death was as normal as eating and drinking. Yeah, if that was really the case, then it wasn't good news at all. In this world, those who treated fighting for their lives as a profession were usually up to no good. The most obvious example was Jing Ke …
Judging from how far I had gone off topic for a moment, I felt that my mood had completely recovered.
"Pandora, Visca, how are you feeling?" I went forward and touched the heads of the two short wintermelons. The two of them must have had their fill of fighting for a long time today, but they must have expended a lot of energy as well. I could still remember their smoky appearance when they first came back. Xiaoxue put a piece of bread on Visca's head, but it burned in less than three seconds. The heat dissipation capacity of a small computer was a huge problem.
"Yeah." "Visca is fine!" The two short wintermelons said at the same time. Then, Visca tugged on my sleeve happily. "Brother, when are you going to fight them again? You want revenge, right? You definitely want revenge, right?! "
As she said this, Visca's cat eyes sparkled like two rubies. Even the black vertical lines in her pupils trembled. It was as though she wasn't talking about leading an army to fight to the death, but about going on a field trip. Beside her, although Pandora didn't say a word, I could clearly see the air above her head distorting slightly. She was so excited that the heat dissipation system was going to malfunction again.
"You two should adjust your bodies first. Tough battles are inevitable in the future." I pushed the two war maniacs back into their seats helplessly. Their logic was so simple. Attack when you have an advantage, attack when you have a disadvantage, attack when you have an opportunity, attack when you don't. They would fill the entire world with battleships and cannons, and launch an endless assault on the enemy. Only when the enemy in front of them was smashed into pieces would they start looking for their next target. Strictly speaking, Pandora and Visca were even more cold-blooded than Liliana, that twisted fellow. These two lolis looked cute, but deep down, they only had one goal, which was to "destroy all enemies" — at most, they would grow taller. I knew that I would probably never be able to change their fanaticism toward "destroying the enemy," so I could only try my best to divert their attention to the right things at the right time. It seemed that it really wasn't easy for him. As Pandora's external thinking circuit, he must have been under a lot of pressure back then.
On the other hand, the crazy AI was much more relaxed. She went crazy together with Weska and wiped out her entire army countless times …
"Hey, idiot!" The moment I sat down, I felt a small body on my shoulder. A certain silver-haired doll had landed on my shoulder. "I heard that you almost died outside."
I was speechless. Could this bad-tempered doll never learn to speak properly in this lifetime?
"Why, did I make you worry?" I raised my shoulder, and the little doll on my shoulder immediately hugged my head reflexively. "Who am I worried about? Who am I worried about? Who am I worried about? Are you okay? "
I was speechless.
"If you dare to leave me behind and not come back, you're dead," the little doll said arrogantly. Then, she hugged my head and shook it. "That's a promise."
"Don't worry. Unless I really die outside, I will definitely come back, okay?" I said casually as I felt dizzy from being shaken by the strong little doll. Then, I saw a pair of chopsticks flying at me. The big sister said loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't a meal shut your mouth?! "
I laughed foolishly. From the corner of my eye, I saw a furry tail sweep across the table and roll up a small round cake. The big sister threw another pair of chopsticks at it. "The fox over there, sit on the chair obediently when you're eating. You run around with your food and don't even know how to clean up after yourself."
The big tail immediately retracted under the table. The demon fox girl popped her head out with the cake in her mouth. "But the cartoon has started …"
I rolled my eyes and looked at the nine-tailed fox that had completely mutated. "Old man, you should be more careful. You're so dumb that you're almost a nine-tailed husky now."
"Hehe. Uncle's house is so interesting. It's as lively as Cyndia's house."
A little girl's voice suddenly interrupted my further education of the nine-tailed husky. Cyndia was sitting on a chair with a stack of books under her head. Half of her body was lying on the dining table. She was quickly gathering food that she had never seen before on her plate as she looked at our family curiously. Her face was filled with excitement and she seemed really happy. She didn't seem uncomfortable at all when she was in a foreign environment. Another characteristic of a naughty child shone brightly on her. She acted like she was at home no matter where she went.
"Looks like Father has a hard time." Shallow Shallow's thoughts had always been point-like. She immediately jumped to Father.
"My father doesn't have a hard time. My father said that he's the happiest, especially since he has two good daughters." Cyndia raised the fork in her hand and said loudly. There was a large lump of cold noodles that looked like a chicken drumstick on the fork. Then, the little girl really started nibbling on the noodles as if it was a chicken drumstick. The onlookers were all dumbfounded. The way this Protoss Princess ate wasn't any better than the nine-tailed husky that was using both her hands and feet!
"Ha, it's delicious." Cyndia stuffed food into her mouth. She probably ate the same way at home too. "No wonder Father always talks about the food at Uncle's house … Ah, right. I have to bring some back for Gatti when I go back. It's really hard to have such a dumb sister."
I was stunned for a moment. I hadn't expected Cyndia to be Cyndia's older sister. This Cyndia was countless times more cunning than Cyndia. Of course, I hadn't expected this naughty brat from the God Realm to know how to care for her own sister. I had thought that she was as simple-minded as Xiaoxue.
After the meal, the family packed up and went about their own business. Cyndia began to run up and down every room. It was just as I thought. After the naughty brat's first meal at a relative's house, it was time for them to fight. I ran around with the little girl and had to deal with the hundred thousand "whys" that popped out of her mouth. God knows how this little brat could have so many "whys"!
Cyndia probably didn't leave the Realm of Gods very often. It could also be that she had never been to a strange place like Earth. She was curious about many things. Of course, what she was most curious about was — why would the ruler of such a powerful civilization like the Xiling Empire live on a primitive planet?
I explained this question for a full ten minutes …
In the end, I still brought this child to my room and told her to find something to play with. In the end, I saw a strange scene. A ninety-centimeter-tall doll was sitting upright in front of the computer …
Little Lamp was surfing the Internet!
"What are you busy with?" I went over and pressed on the doll's head. The latter didn't even raise her head. "Shopping! Since you won't accompany me to shop, I can only buy things myself. "
I focused my gaze. It turned out that this little brat was on Taobao …
"Oh, you can buy things like this?" Cyndia was instantly interested. She jumped onto the table. "I want to buy new clothes! I want to buy new clothes! Can you teach me how to buy clothes? "
"Haha, watch carefully." The little doll smiled proudly. Then, she skillfully entered her account password and directly searched for the SD doll section …
I was speechless.
I finally knew what was going on with the extra sets of clothes that this little puppet had for no reason …
