Sandora's analysis quickly and effectively calmed me down from the joy of easily annihilating fifty mutated Demons. I finally realized that the real enemy we were facing wasn't just these half-finished Demon Soldiers, the powerful Demon Army, or even Demon Lords like Archimonde and Kil 'jaeden. Our real enemy was far more terrifying than them. The Corrupted Shiring Apostles who could even defeat the Protoss after mastering the power of the Abyss. Compared to them, the fifty small fries that we had annihilated today weren't even worth mentioning.
Thus, not only did we not have the upper hand, but we were also at an absolute disadvantage. This made me feel awkward. I wasn't afraid of the enemy's strength, but this was the first time I had encountered such a situation. The invincible Xiling Empire army was actually the weakest. To be honest, I felt terrible now.
In order to get rid of this terrible feeling as soon as possible, I immediately pulled Pandora who was next to me and rubbed the little girl's soft little face. Looking at the little fellow's confused and dazed expression, I felt a lot better … …
After returning to Theramore, we temporarily bid farewell to Jaina and let her bring back the injured and dispirited leader of the Demon Soldiers, also known as Minor Actor A. The few of us brought back the interesting and easy-going Demon Soldier that Lin Xue wanted to keep behind, but because the author forgot to give him a name, he was still miserably known as Minor Actor B. We prepared to gather everyone for a meeting.
The outpost base that was jointly built by the Bubble was three small islands that could be connected into a triangle. The Faith-Level was parked in the center of the three outpost bases. It was heavily protected and also held the heavy responsibility of the command center. Thanks to the effective operation of the automatic defense system of the three outpost bases, the situation of the fanatical Holy Light believers swimming overnight to the Faith-Level didn't happen. However, there was a recent trend of snorkeling near Theramore. It seemed that these fanatical Holy Light believers realized that it was difficult to swim up to the Faith-Level. Now, the first thing that the usually serious Holy Knights and Priests would do after their shift in the afternoon was to rush to the pier. Then, under the guidance of some so-called expert swimming coach, they would undergo all kinds of hilarious training before finally jumping into the water. This development really left one speechless …
Alright, let's put aside these idiotic actions that were burnt by the Holy Light and focus on the conference room.
The Faith-Level was really huge. This treasure that could be used for interstellar colonization had realized a starship city that the people of Earth could only imagine with science fiction. Within the Faith-Level, there were actually two small towns. Of course, in Sandora's words, this was called Colonization Ecosphere, a type of 'simple ecological equipment' that could be directly dropped from outer space onto the surface of a planet for colonization.
I maintained a relatively calm attitude towards this' simple ecological equipment '…
Compared to the cold hall that was constructed out of steel, everyone preferred nature that was filled with life. That was why our conference room was moved from the core command room that was filled with radar and surveillance equipment to a small forest in the Faith-Level No.2 Ecosphere. Regarding this development, a certain troublesome entity expressed great dissatisfaction, while our little Goddess appeared to be cheering wildly. However, I don't think that this could be used to explain why our Supreme Commander's Conference ultimately developed into a field trip …
"I say … everyone should at least be a little more serious …" Looking at the beautiful ladies in front of me who didn't seem to be serious at all, I instantly felt helpless.
Who could tell me, why did a perfectly good war conference develop into such a state?
In this small clearing in the forest, apart from a certain tragic man who seemed to have been completely assimilated by a thick shadow and a troublesome entity whose entire body was filled with so much resentment that it was almost tangible, the atmosphere was that of a field trip.
Shallow Shallow was wearing a pure white dress and was quietly sitting on the grass with her legs curled up. She was seriously weaving a beautiful flower garland. Nobody would have imagined that the usually lively Shallow Shallow would actually have such a quiet, gentle, and beautiful side to her, just like a forest goddess.
Beside Shallow Shallow was a true goddess — Jingle. However, she was doing something completely unbefitting of her status. The little thing was shouting and laughing loudly as she danced in the air in a dazzling green halo. It was obvious that she was quite excited and curious to find such a forest filled with life in the Faith-Level.
On the other side, the three lolis were doing their daily activities. Bubble's eyes were slightly closed, a strange smile occasionally flashing across her face as she was clearly immersed in some large-scale RPG world. Little Bubble and Pandora, on the other hand, were staring at each other motionlessly as usual. On a small tree stump between them was a lollipop that had a terrible shape but was extraordinarily large. The two little lolis were once again using this method of duel that they invented themselves to decide who this lollipop that their older brother had personally made would belong to.
Behind the two lolis stood the support group that they had forcefully recruited. Sives stood behind his commanding officer, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, while his sister stood behind Little Bubble with a helpless expression. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time the two mature beauties had seen such a scene, but no matter how many times they saw it, they couldn't change their helpless expressions …
Little Bubble was fine, but the key was Pandora … Sives was now a little doubtful whether the little lolis who was competing with other children without blinking over a lollipop was still his commanding officer. Heavens, if time was reversed a few months ago … she wouldn't have imagined such a scene even if she was beaten to death …
As for a certain queen further away who was drooling and giggling foolishly beside a barbeque rack, let us gloriously ignore her …
To be fair, the scene of these adorable girls resting freely in the forest clearing was indeed a delightful sight. Of course, that was if they didn't place all this in the context of a 'war meeting' …
It was supposed to be a meeting, and they were supposed to discuss something important. Why did it end up like this? Could it be that moving the meeting out of the commander's room was a mistake?
"That's right, it was a mistake!" The resentful Lin Xue suddenly raised her head and looked at me with a gloomy expression.
Oh, it seems that I was thinking about something in the public channel again. Forget it, since there were countless similar situations, I won't comment on it.
Besides, it was normal for a wise ruler like me, who worried about the Empire's safety, to be disappointed because a war meeting turned into a field trip. But why would Lin Xue, who didn't seem to care about serious matters, be so resentful? Was it simply because she had to leave the hall filled with all sorts of interesting machines? Logically speaking, this kind of refreshing nature should be something that every girl would like, right? In other words, Lin Xue's essence was actually a shapeshifter …
* Bang! * The loud sound stunned all the girls. Then, the group of beauties stared blankly at me as I spun and fell from the sky. Other than Little Bubble, who had a surprised expression and pointed at the crater that I had created, "Yiyiyaya!" for a while, everyone else didn't seem surprised.
Hey, hey, hey, did you see that? Did you see that? Lin Xue just carried out a very obvious personal attack, didn't she? Rising Dragon Strike plus side kick followed by a bugged triple combo! Shouldn't you at least react a little?! Hurry up and condemn this violent woman!
But in the next second, numerous mental voices sounded in my head at the same time: "Serves you right …"
Alright, I was really an incorrigible fellow who often carried out inappropriate thoughts in the public channel …
"That …" I made one last attempt to call everyone back from the fatal attraction of garlands, candies, and roasted meat. "Shouldn't we reconsider our current main crisis? If it's a field trip … it shouldn't be at this moment … "
Thank the heavens, it seemed that after playing for a long time, the ladies finally remembered that they had important matters to attend to and reluctantly put down what they were doing.
… It could also be said that they had had enough fun. The garlands in Shallow Shallow's hands had already been completed. The duel between Pandora and Little Bubble had ended with the former's victory. Now, Little Bubble was pulling her mother who had just come out of the game to complain to her. At the same time, a certain Queen who had been roasting meat from afar was now walking over with grease all over her mouth — — Only at this moment did you remember to attend to some important matters?
"Alright, let's start the meeting now." Sandora rubbed the grease off her face and let out a small burp. Then, she looked around. "Everyone should already be aware of the situation. Little Bubble, you don't need to know — — Today's discussion is on how to deal with the Burning Legion who are stronger than us, have a more stable foundation than us, are more familiar with the situation than us, and have Schilling technology as their backing."
… Baby, could it be that you're a spy sent by the Archerons?
Sandora had used a grand parallelism to fully dispel everyone's enthusiasm. Such a speech that severely destroys morale … is really characteristic of Schilling …
Although it sounded inconceivable, there was nothing wrong with Sandora's opening speech. The Shiring Apostles never talked about morale. To a bunch of war machines who would never be intimidated by the enemy's might, it was a complete waste of time to boost their morale. Instead, it was more useful to directly state the strength of the enemy — — Sandora was used to such a way of speaking.
But that didn't mean that we were used to it. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Sandora abruptly realized that she had made a mistake …
Looking at everyone's shocked expression, Sandora immediately came over and said pitifully, "Ah Jun, I was wrong …"
Of course, I couldn't bear to blame her. After all, from the perspective of the Shiring Apostles, her way of speaking couldn't be any more normal. The situation was indeed as she said, terrible.
"Bubble, if the outposts were to operate at full capacity, how long would it take for us to create enough troops?"
"Currently, the three outposts have limited resources and area, which greatly limits our development. However, the Schilling Mother Nest will produce the next generation of simplified Schilling Mainframes in a week's time. If these simplified Schilling Mainframes are used for expansion, our development speed will be greatly increased. It is estimated that in six months, we will be able to build an army that is sufficient to fight against the allied forces of the Burning Legion and the Fallen Apostles."
To be able to build a powerful army from scratch that was sufficient to fight against the allied forces of evil in six months, this was indeed a terrifying military expansion ability. However, this wasn't enough — we needed six months of peaceful development without anyone disturbing us, while the Burning Legion could invade us in large numbers at any time. It seemed that it wasn't possible to take the traditional route of military development.
Then, everyone proposed other plans one after another, including sending special forces to the Draenor world and outer space to actively search for the enemy and wait for an opportunity to destroy them. However, none of these plans were practical enough.
"I say …" Lin Xue, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse, suddenly raised her hand, indicating that she had something to say. "Why do we have to fight alone? Or should I say, why does every single faction in the world intend to fight alone? "
