When the last battle in this world ended, the Empire's fleet naturally had to return. To be honest, this battle had caused us great losses. Even though it seemed that the Fallen Apostles had suffered greater losses in this single battle, the Imperial Army, which currently had a weak military force, had suffered greater losses. Even though the Leader Bee had managed to save the lives of most of the soldiers, our warships, especially those special warships that could not be mass-produced, had suffered great losses. For a civilization like the Schilling Empire, which relied on space warships as its core strength, the loss of warships was the most devastating thing.
So, the Empire's fleet and the Vengeance Fleet, which had suffered the greatest losses in this battle, immediately set off after cleaning up the battlefield. They returned to the capital world first. All the spaceports had received orders to rush work to repair these damaged behemoths. Meanwhile, the Empire's Admiral and the First Fleet had temporarily stayed behind. We had to plan for the settlement of the natives of this world.
The ruined world could no longer be inhabited. Following the collapse of the Sacred Vault, the last planet in the other ruined worlds that could still produce resources for survival had been annihilated. This place had completely lost the foundation to sustain life. Due to the intense battle, this space was also in a seriously unstable state. The range of the psionic storm at the edge of the world had expanded by ten percent over the past three hours. Tawil speculated that this might be due to the damage to the world barrier, causing the psionic energy to be compressed inward by the void.
As for the structure of this world, Tawil now had a vague mathematical model. It was not very precise, but he could confirm that it had something to do with the Sacred Vault. The metal fortress at the core of the ruined planet Planet No.1 should be a huge control center. Apart from containing the wreckage of the spaceships inside, it also had an abnormally large space. This space should have a device to modify the mathematical laws that supported the structure of the world. This coincided with the fact that "Visca left this space behind." Now that the Sacred Vault had been destroyed, the timetable for the world's collapse had begun.
Only, there was one thing that couldn't be explained clearly: how did the Fallen Apostle control that layer of world barrier?
No one would ever forget that when the battle reached its climax, the Fallen Apostle suddenly reversed the nature of the membrane on the world barrier, causing half of the Empire's main fleet to be blocked outside of the battlefield. This caused the elite Royal Fleet and the Fleet of Vengeance to be surrounded by enemies several times their size. If it wasn't for the Army of Destruction's corpses suddenly launching their final charge, I'm afraid that the few of us would have died in such a godforsaken place. How did the Fallen Apostle do this? How would they know how to control the barrier system that Visca had left behind?
In any case, similar questions came one after another. After the battle, we unraveled many mysteries related to the Fallen Apostle, but the problems that came with it were not lessened at all. Right now, these matters already left the commanding officers in command badly battered. However, what was worth mentioning was that Tawil instead became excited. In high spirits, the bespectacled girl announced that she didn't plan on sleeping for the next month. She was going to use all of her strength to conquer the "battlefield that scientists must conquer."
Regarding this, Icetis said something very philosophical. "This concubine simply doesn't dare to imagine just how unrivalled that fellow will become once he learns martial arts …"
I didn't know if I should tell this perverted goddess that Tawil really was a scientist who knew martial arts. Moreover, she knew how to assemble an internal explosion bomb on the spot while fighting with others.
After several hours of intense dispatching, all of the refugees were finally gathered onto twenty-two transport ships. This was sufficient to ensure that they could be easily managed while still having sufficient space. The monks were still the most important organizers among the refugees. During the battle and the process of transferring the refugees, they helped the Empire soldiers and servant army soldiers greatly, especially during the previous battle.
I had to admit that even the commanding officers of the Imperial Army who were omnipotent in everything they did were still wooden heads at certain times. When the battle reached its climax, not a single Imperial Army officer realized just how exciting this battlefield filled with bullets was for the defenseless civilians. Those hot-blooded fellows openly displayed the tragic scenes of the battlefield in the transport ships filled with refugees. With the portholes open, they drove the transport ships bravely through the blockade lines. They drove the battleships that weighed several hundred million tons in space to perform Thomas Slalom and Sidewinder maneuvers. Even though the ships had spatial stabilizers, there were at least two hundred thousand people who unswervingly vomited. They all fainted in 3D.
Halfway through the battle, a total of three hundred thousand people fainted, two hundred and sixty thousand people fainted, forty thousand people fainted, and twenty-six thousand and seven hundred people went into shock. There were also four people who suffered heart attacks and ten people who gave birth prematurely after the battle. Liliana personally delivered six babies and was now the godmother of eleven babies. It was truly amazing. Liliana said that she was preparing to find two more substitutes to play in the World Cup in eighteen years …
You couldn't blame these civilians for having poor mental fortitude, nor could you blame them for having poor physical fortitude. After all, they were defenseless, honest miners who had lived their entire lives. If you asked them to experience a full-scale intergalactic war, no one would be able to do anything about it. Out of a population of four hundred and fifty million, only a few hundred thousand were crying for their parents. This was already an outstanding example of a race. Although it was indeed a tiring task to calm the emotions of the refugees, there was no need for the Imperial Army to worry about it. We handed it over to the battlefield psychologists and battlefield priests that the New Eden Federation's servant army had brought along. The latter was more skilled than anyone else in dealing with the terrified civilians on the battlefield. With their hard work and the help of the shaman groups from the ruins, the refugees' emotions had already calmed down and they had a general understanding of their situation. To be honest, I felt that telling them the second point at this time was rather ridiculous. After all, the tribes living in the ruins didn't seem to be able to imagine how a new home could exist after the destruction of this world.
Thus, most people were quite pessimistic.
"Does it really exist? That kind of world? "
On the bridge of the Empire Admiral, Yoder looked me in the eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Almost endless space, countless planets, resources flowing automatically on the planets, tens of thousands of species of life can exist on a one-kilometer stretch of land, and there is also the sun that rises and sets every day … Plants that grow automatically, and mountains and plains that are covered in colors … To be honest, although I understand these things, I really can't imagine them."
"Haven't you already seen those videos?"
My big sister glanced at Yoder and said softly with a smile.
"Yes, they are beautiful." Yoder's face glowed. "But I can't understand them at all."
"Well, you'll find out soon enough." Shallow Shallow rubbed her eyes and muttered. She was one of the people who had used up the most energy. After all, she had that damned Li personality. Once she entered battle mode, Shallow Shallow would be even more violent and hysterical than Pandora when she went all out. After such a long battle, this girl had used up eighty to ninety percent of her energy. She was still a little muddle-headed. If it wasn't for the fact that she had to follow me around, she would have gone to sleep in her room by now.
"Are you ready to broadcast to everyone?" Sandora asked the people on the bridge.
"Synchronized communication is ready. We can begin at any time."
"Alright, let's begin."
Sandora nodded and held my hand as we walked to the center of the military officer's platform. When the synchronized communication was activated, the military officer's platform could also be used as a platform for speeches. Shallow Shallow and my big sister followed us and stood behind us. Icetis and Jingle stood on the other side of me. They had to stand out at this time because the natives of this world were one of the species created by the Protoss. When they returned to the order of life, they needed a representative of the Protoss as a witness. Of course, this was only known to us. The identity of the Protoss couldn't be revealed to mortals.
In addition, I actually felt that from a visual point of view, the only one standing next to me was Bryndis. Would anyone really notice that there was actually a Doraemon lying in the middle of Bryndis' chest?
We pulled Yodel over to stand on the other side of Bryndis without knowing why. This symbolized that he was "standing by the side of God." This meant that Yodel's identity as the official leader of a civilization's first generation was confirmed in the Divine Grimoire. This meant that the ruins tribe had been reborn, so Yodel's identity was perfectly legitimate.
A faint buzzing sound came from all around us. The military officer's platform was instantly surrounded by dozens of huge holographic projections. The images that appeared around us were the scenes of the twenty-two refugee ships.
Almost at the same time, all the refugees turned their surprised gazes to the screen. The sudden appearance of a group of huge holographic images in the sky above them shocked them. When they noticed that Yodel was among them, many of the refugees started whispering to each other. Most of them couldn't help but put on a relaxed expression.
"I am the Queen of the Xiling Empire, Sandora? Kelvi? Ulysses? "
Seeing that I didn't intend to speak first, Sandora spoke first. Her voice carried a dignified aura. Even though she didn't sound emotional, all the refugees on the screen quietened down after she spoke.
"You don't need to know much about the Empire. I am here to announce one thing: This world has been severely damaged and is no longer suitable for life. You were once citizens of the Empire seven hundred thousand years ago — — at least, that might have been the case. Now, the Empire has decided to bring you to your new home. During this process, you will listen to the commands of the Imperial Army. That's all. "
Sandora finished her speech just like that … Alright, she really had the demeanor of a Queen. Were you sure that they would understand just by saying that?
Just as I had guessed, Sandora's nonnegotiable and short declaration left everyone stunned. It couldn't be said that Sandora's words were forceful, but she was used to using the attitude of a Queen to declare to her subjects to settle things. However, these refugees weren't citizens of the Macro World. They were all confused.
Furthermore, no matter who it was, after such a sudden change, they would definitely want to know the truth of the matter. Their homes were gone, their lives were gone, and even everything they were familiar with was gone. The ruins tribe wouldn't have a clear understanding of the so-called new world. Throwing them an olive branch of a new world wouldn't calm the civilians down. Now, we needed someone to clearly explain to these people what had happened, not the arrangements of the Empire.
Yoder was a suitable candidate.
There were some Archbishops who didn't understand the situation and were pushed to the front. We only had one request for them: to the best of their knowledge and ability, explain to the Ruins Tribe what the end of the world was and what a new world was.
Yoder took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to his compatriots on the ruins in a slow and clear tone.
"Brothers, today, we have encountered an unprecedented disaster, a great change that exceeds our imagination and ancient records. Even though it is hard to believe, our world has ended. Our home, as you can see, has been destroyed. From today onwards, everything that we are familiar with will have to start from scratch, including the entire universe. However, please do not panic. The world has ended, but our race has just begun. Just like what the ancient books have recorded, the Ancient Gods who once created everything have returned. Yes, they are standing right beside you … I believe many of you should have heard this news from the monks around you. However, I want to confirm it once again to make you believe in one thing: The Ancient Gods are right beside us, right beside you …
The Ancient Gods are fighting a war with the rebel army that could last for a long time. There is no doubt about the justice in this war. As you can see, the rebel army of the Ancient Gods wanted to destroy everything. Their arrival led to the destruction of the planet, and they also tried to steal the sacred vault at the core of the planet. The Ancient Gods protected us and chased the rebel army away. However, this world has collapsed in the flames of war.
But soon, we will go to a new world, a new home!
Remember this, Brothers and Sisters: we have a mission upon us!
A long, long time ago, when all the history books had yet to be written or were cut in half, we once received a key and a mission from the Ancient Gods. We were given a safe world to live in, and our mission was to protect the treasures in the sacred vault for the Ancient Gods. Today, our mission has been completed. The sacred vault has not been opened until the Ancient Gods came, so the Ancient Gods have decided to bring us to a new world. This new world is far more beautiful than we can imagine!
Brothers, it is a pity that I cannot describe the new world with words. Even though the Ancient Gods have shown me the scenery, it is beyond our comprehension. I can only tell you with certainty that our new home will be more fertile and beautiful than this world. We will have abundant food that grows continuously, clean water that flows freely on the land, and we will not have to worry about the sun going out. We will be able to see all kinds of colors on the land, and we will see all kinds of living things other than ourselves … "
Yodel spent a long time explaining the future to his people. I have to admit that many of his explanations were still limited to the various ancient teachings, and most of his words made my sister and me feel very awkward. Sandora, on the other hand, was used to it. She had been worshiped like this for tens of millions of years. She had been treated as a God in more than one or two worlds, but ordinary people like us still felt goosebumps on our faces. Icetis glanced at me from time to time with a teasing gaze. I didn't need to use our spiritual connection to translate what she said.
"Chen, doesn't it feel good to be beaten into a plaster statue by mortals?"
This rogue goddess who never played her cards according to common sense had always had a strong rebellious mentality towards being worshiped as an idol. This was a strange mental illness among Protoss, but now I seemed to understand why she had such a mentality.
Following Yodel's explanation, the commoners finally understood the current situation. In my boredom, I began to scan the images around me. Then, my gaze was suddenly attracted by one of the images.
In the middle of the image was a little boy with big eyes. He was holding the hand of a skinny little girl who looked very introverted. The two of them looked at the screen while opening their mouths and saying something to the people beside them. The little boy even jumped up and waved at us more than once. The monks nearby patted him a few times, but he didn't stop his exaggerated movements.
It was Glick and his sister, Waterdrop!
"Oh my god, the siblings are here!" I hurriedly touched Lin Xue's arm and whispered happily. She tugged on my sleeve and stretched her neck excitedly. "Where, where?!"
I pointed in the direction for her before pulling Shallow Shallow along. The two of us waved at the screen as if our lives depended on it.
Believe me, in that instant, I really felt that the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped by at least 20 degrees. It could be said that the entire command center had frozen. I believed that the other 22 transport ships had frozen as well.
That's right, this was worthy of freezing. The Head of the Empire was leading the two Matriarchs in a live broadcast of the entire race, jumping up and down and waving their handkerchiefs. Just this screenshot alone was enough to push a blog with an average of 3 visitors to the front page of Baidu.
I actually forgot that this was still a live broadcast!
"Ah, you damned blockhead!!" After coming back to her senses in an instant, Miss Lin immediately pinched my waist from behind with a flushed face. She ground her front teeth so hard that they creaked. "I can't believe that I would go crazy together with you. This time, I am making a fool out of myself!"
Shallow Shallow was much more frank than Miss Lin. She was still jumping up and down and waving her handkerchief to let Glick know that she had seen him. This girl's brain was parallel to the real world.
Glick and his sister were not surprised to see our response (How could they not see it? Our heads alone were more than a meter tall on the holographic projection). Even though they were just two children, their faces were instantly filled with pride. They started to show off their glory to the people around them.
All the refugees were still in a daze. They probably hadn't reacted yet.
Yode looked at us with a troubled expression. He probably thought that the three of us were here to cause trouble.
Icetis suddenly covered her forehead and smashed her head on Sandora's shoulder. "Oh my, look at what a weird man you found. Now, even you are being led astray. Do you dare to not cause trouble in your family?"
