"God Fog" was the outermost planet in the Mobrado system. It was also the largest planet in the system. It was a non-solid planet. It had a core the size of Earth and an extremely high mass. It also had a liquid nitrogen-helium-hydrogen ocean that spanned millions of kilometers, and an "atmosphere" that was almost 20,000 kilometers thick. It was the largest celestial body in the system apart from the Mobrado sun. It was also the last planet that the Empire's reconnaissance team sent to the system to investigate.
At one time, we thought that there wouldn't be many ancient ruins on God Fog. After all, a non-solid planet with nothing but gas and "ocean" lacked the necessary strategic value. The large amount of helium and hydrogen resources it contained were worthless to the Shiring Apostles. The surface winds of 360 kilometers per hour would also dry out the skin and split the hair of the Empire soldiers stationed on the planet. After all, no one was willing to build a base on such a useless planet.
But the agents still made a huge discovery on God Fog. It was a huge ancient ruin.
In the images that were sent back, we saw a large mechanical structure that was connected together. It was round in shape, and the top was covered with hard metal protrusions. It looked like a metal city that floated above the dense ocean under the thick atmosphere of the Divine Fog Planet. But in reality, it was a huge cylindrical body that was suspended vertically in the high-pressure liquid nitrogen-helium-hydrogen ocean. The cross-section of this metal pillar had an average radius of around 70 kilometers, and the depth of the ocean was a shocking 900 kilometers. It was like a slender chopstick that was pierced into the ocean. The top of this "chopstick" was the "ocean city" that we saw in the holographic image.
This huge artificial structure was very complicated. It had a strict and thick armor structure and a shield system (which had been extinguished) that could resist the hurricanes and ocean turbulence of God Fog. The various metal protrusions that I had mistaken for a city building were actually a series of weapons. The density of the metal protrusions was shocking.
This ancient ruin was relatively well preserved, and it was possible that some of its functions were still working. In the crazy hurricanes and turbulence of God Fog, it maintained a stable posture. It didn't even have large fluctuations. We found a lot of emblems that didn't belong to the Empire on the surface of this artificial structure. Its overall style wasn't a Schilling product, but its shield system and some structural materials were from Schilling technology.
In this ancient structure, the agents found tens of millions of bodies.
The living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath and looked at the scene from four astronomical units away. These were the real images that the agents who entered the ruins of God Fog recorded. They weren't edited, but they were absolutely real and shocking. Of course, what really moved us wasn't the corpse-strewn scene. We had seen scenes that were even more bizarre than that. What really silenced us was Sandora 'whisper. "It's them, my former vassal race."
"The main passageway was completely penetrated. The isolation gate was lowered, but it was quickly torn apart by the intruders like a piece of paper," Bubbles whispered. "A large amount of radiation was found at the scene. It seems that the Armored Scorpion first invaded and destroyed the defense system, then Raven and the Leader Bee completed the subsequent massacre."
"It seems that the Empire @@ne-1 -style mass-killing tactic, and it that the Raven Fog and destroyed the defense system. s. Empire.
Actually, I had thought of something a long time ago and discussed it with Sandora. After the Empire went into hibernation, what path did the subsidiary civilizations of the Xiling Empire take? A small portion of them might still exist, and they might even have some achievements in their development, but most of them definitely wouldn't be able to survive these years.
For a vassal civilization attached to a super civilization, the deformity of the technology tree and the rapid weakening of themselves after losing their support were almost unsolvable problems. When the Empire collapsed, those relatively weak vassal civilizations would quickly lose their technological prowess and be destroyed by the enemy's counterattack. Following the Empire would always mean enmity against an unimaginably powerful foe, and with the Empire's protection, none could harm the vassal civilizations under the Empire's wing. Without that shield, none of those advanced civilizations that had been forced to grow could survive independently in the already turbulent Multiverse.
Therefore, after the collapse of the Old Empire, the destruction of countless subsidiary civilizations was basically a foregone conclusion. Most of them were destroyed to the point that not even a trace of them could be found in the records of the Protoss, because the Protoss would only update their map every one or two hundred million years.
However, no one expected that the first civilization we came into contact with, the corpses of the former Empire's subordinate civilizations, would appear in front of us like this.
They died at the hands of their former master.
I have to say, Bubble initially told us not to delve deeper into this tangled issue, but the information she released had the opposite effect.
"This is the largest ancient ruin found in the Mobrador system," Bubble said in a rare solemn tone, and for the first time in a long time, she didn't play online games while working. "The God of Mist may be the last base of resistance of the ancient civilization. At this time, they should have been blocked by the Empire's fleet to the deep space and other worlds, and could only set up camp in their home system step by step. This ruin has a large number of anti-air weapons, all of which are weapons against the psionic shield, but these weapons show no signs of being used, and they are not of any use at all. Most of the corpses in the ruin belong to soldiers. Due to the low temperature and psionic radiation in the environment, these corpses are only dehydrated but not seriously decomposed. "
This explained why these corpses, which were probably hundreds of thousands of years old, could still be preserved to this day. However, they were probably only intact in shape. In the holographic image just now, the environment appeared to be covered in dust, and the light was dim. It was the organic dust of the severely weathered corpses floating in the air. A slight vibration, such as the sound of the agents opening the isolation gate, would cause a large amount of dust to rise. Many of the corpses turned into dust in front of our eyes the moment someone touched them.
Even though he had seen far crueler scenes than this, these silent scenes still made him very uncomfortable.
"This is the only tomb of the ancient civilization that the agents found. There are no remains of the ancient Mobradorians in the ruins in other places. It has been too long, and many planets have been too thoroughly cleaned up," Bubble said while processing the information from the subordinate information nodes in real time. "Among the six major planets in Mobrador, except for the two non-solid planets, the other four planets have traces of being bombed. Although hundreds of thousands of years have filled up the battlefields, we can still find evidence from below the crust. The First Planet is the most miserable one. It was melted by the celestial body and pushed toward the sun. Other than the ruins of the Old Empire, there are no traces of the ancient civilization left on it. The scientists of Mobrador have also explored the First Planet. Although they didn't do it as thoroughly as we did, they found a lot of things. Now they are guessing that the First Planet is the origin of the ancient civilization. This is what they analyzed from a large number of ancient civilization documents, so the credibility should be very high. In other words, the First Planet was destroyed as a key military point. Now, the mother planet of Mobrador is the third planet. There are also traces of being bombed by the Empire's fleet, but it is not as serious. It seems that the goal of the crazy Imperial Army was only to eliminate life on the planet. They were not interested in destroying the entire planet. "
"And here is a report scanned from the database of the Church of Pale Blue. We picked the important parts and said that the scholars of this world have found some clues that prove that the modern Mobradorians are actually the descendants of the ancient civilization …"
"Descendants?!" Sandora suddenly interrupted Bubble. "The ancient civilization didn't all go extinct?"
Bubble shook her little head uncertainly. "It's just a guess. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the phenomenon that the modern Mobradorians can control part of the Schilling equipment. The modern Mobradorians have a guess about their origin. They think that after the ancient civilization perished, there were some survivors. These survivors slept in the Sage's Ruins for a long time and then woke up. Because of the long time, they lost their memories and thus became a new race. But it's strange that the records of Mobrador's history during this period are unusually chaotic. It seems that the world was not at peace at that time, and their evolution process was cut into segments. Even the database of the Cerulean Church does not have a clear record of it. However, this theory is generally widely accepted, and I estimate that its credibility is more than 83% … "
Bubble changed her usual jumpy personality. Now she looked quite reliable, and her analysis was logical. As she organized the information from the lower information nodes into the most concise words, everyone slowly understood the situation of the new civilization in this world.
Now, the Mobradorians were divided into many branches, including ordinary people, reborn people, new humans, mutants, demi-humans, and so on. These branches all had significant differences, but they still had the same genetic source. The birth of these races was due to an event known as the 'Calamity.' It was no longer possible to determine when and for what reason this' disaster 'occurred, but it could also be related to the Empire's legacy. Not only that, but it could be determined that it happened after the fall of the ancient civilization and before the emergence of the modern human subspecies. The ancestors of the Mobradorians died in the 'Calamity,' and the survivors mutated into various subspecies. This was the result of the research of the scholars here, and it was also very credible.
There was a special class in the Mobradorian society known as the 'Heir.' Although it was a class, it was not quite the same as a class. It referred to a person with a unique talent, not limited to any race. All modern Mobradorians could become an Heir after they were born. These people with talent were more likely to become clerics and scholars than ordinary people. They could learn how to use their own mental power to control the ancient weapons unearthed in the Holy Ruins ten times easier than ordinary people. Almost every one of them was worthy of being an elite in the religious society of Mobradorian. In the world's largest religion, the Church of Grayblue, there were twelve of the most powerful ancient weapons known as the 'Blunderbuss of Condemnation' (it was speculated that someone had unloaded the anti-aircraft guns from the warships of the Empire). These twelve weapons, which were the pinnacle of power in this world, were controlled by the twelve strongest Paladins. Eleven of these Paladins were 'Heirs', and one of them was the second uncle of the Pope. You could see how powerful the power of genetic inheritance was: it was like this in all aspects.
The reason why the Heir appeared was because of their bloodline. The modern Mobradorians inherited the genes of the ancient people. However, due to the ubiquitous psionic radiation on the planet, after a long evolutionary journey, these genes were hidden in the mutated new Mobradorians. However, some people were exceptions. These genes were dominant, which gave them amazing talent.
If he guessed correctly, Miriya should also be an heir. Her ability to control the empire's inheritance was too amazing compared to her age. Uncle Zaku had really put in a lot of effort to prevent her from casually revealing her identity. However, there was still one thing I didn't understand. Miriya once said that she was a cleric. She didn't even belong to a church. How could she be a cleric?
"I once gave those servants some privileges, allowing them to control part of the Empire's weapons. The way to identify them was their mental fluctuations." Sandora recalled those things from a long time ago. Although her memory was a little fuzzy, she didn't forget it. "They are a species with the talent of racial memory. It seems that they finally wrote this talent into their genes and passed it down."
"This explains the origin of Mobrador's' Holy Armament 'technology." Bubble nodded. "Mobrador called the technology of controlling ancient weapons through mental power the Holy Armament. Miriya's satellite cannon is one of the Holy Armaments. Those agents have never been able to find out who created the Holy Armament. Since the beginning of Mobrador's history, some people were born with this ability and knew how to train ordinary people to develop this technology."
The fact that the modern Mobrador people were the descendants of the ancient civilization was unexpected, but it seemed to be a little reasonable. Then, according to this line of reasoning, did the Imperial Army that went out of control for unknown reasons not completely annihilate the indigenous people of this galaxy?
"With the combat power of the old Empire's troops that carried out the annihilation order, it was impossible for them to leave any survivors because of carelessness," Sandora said calmly. "They must have been stopped by something when they carried out the annihilation of the Mobrador galaxy. The First Planet stopped when it was about to be pushed into the sun."
Her elder sister suddenly said softly, "For example, they suddenly woke up?"
There was a flash of light in Sandora's eyes, showing that her mood was not as calm as it was now. She didn't comment on her elder sister's words and just gently closed her eyes. "Whether they finally woke up for a moment or not, I have to solve this problem myself. The appearance of the Fallen Apostles is already the greatest humiliation of the Empire. I can't accept my subordinates doing the same crazy things without being infected by the Abyss. "
Sandora's words touched me. If we were to really start a war with her former troops, the one who would be the most upset would undoubtedly be this young Queen. However, some things seemed to be unavoidable.
This was different from every war that everyone had experienced.
We had also fought against the troops of the old Empire, but a portion of them were the Fallen Apostles, who were equivalent to traitors who had already stood on the opposite side of the Empire. They deserved to die. A portion of them were the Templar Guards, which were ancient spaceships that had gone out of control. Strictly speaking, they weren't considered a regular army formed by the Shiring Apostles. Although the scale of the war was huge, from a certain point of view, it was just troubleshooting the malfunctions of the ancient equipment. But now, we had to face off against Sandora's most loyal soldiers. We wouldn't rest until one of us was dead.
I took out the card that Lin Xue had given me and randomly picked one out. It was a picture of a sharp blade and a gear.
"War is inevitable. Don't hesitate because the enemy won't hesitate."
That lass, she must have put in a lot of effort to make this. She crossed out the word "Yu" four times in hesitation.
"Summarizing the information that we have gathered, the possibility of Sister Sandora's former troops losing control has reached 84.65%," Bubble said solemnly as she turned off the holographic projection. "It has far exceeded the war warning line. The troops at the outpost base are ready and are working overtime to expand their production. However, I am worried that they still won't be enough to fight against the enemy here. "
I suddenly recalled that Bubble was originally Sandora's Schilling Mainframe. She knew the situation of the Avengers like the back of her hand. So, I immediately asked, "If the main force of the Avengers were to remain in this world, how many troops would we need to deal with them?"
"A simple comparison of numbers is meaningless. There are endless variables in a space war," Sandora shook her head and answered on behalf of Bubble. "I can only say that the more, the better. The Avengers' fighting style is very … They are best at attacking at all costs. In order to achieve their goals, they can sacrifice themselves as accurately as solving a math problem. From the middle and high-level commanders who can be resurrected to the low-level soldiers who only have one life, they all have this awareness. This was originally the scariest part of my army, but now, I am the one who is having a headache. I don't know if they still have this habit after losing control. If they do, we won't feel good. "
Listening to Sandora, I felt bitter in my heart. I thought to myself, Why are most of the Shiring Apostles such lunatics …
"Actually, we should have a more optimistic guess." Seeing that I was a little depressed, the big sister suddenly revealed a gentle smile. "Has no one ever considered that only a part of the Avengers have lost control?"
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on her.
"So far, the only person from the Imperial Army who has lost control is the pilot of the single-soldier fighter jet. The rest are the relics left behind in the Mobrado galaxy. Those are all indirect evidence. They can only prove that the Avengers have launched an attack on the natives here, but they can't prove that all of them participated in the attack. Also, we seem to have forgotten one thing. All the Schilling devices found in Mobrado are offline. They have their identification numbers erased, so they can't be controlled through the information link of the Shiring Apostles. Instead, they are more suitable for the vassal races who don't have a spiritual network … "
"In other words, perhaps the Avengers have been divided into two groups." Sandora instantly understood what the big sister meant. "Or rather, their actions have been divided into two groups. One group is slaughtering the servants, while the other group is trying their best to leave something for them to rebel against so that they can destroy themselves. Although their efforts have failed, the Avengers might not be hopeless!"
