Chapter 557: On the Eve of the Outbreak
Ding, ding, ding——
The sound of coins sliding in the metal bowl appeared again next to my ears.
Yang Ming opened his eyes and saw the nutrient solution that had not yet been extracted. Mimili, Kolev and 026 standing outside were all fully armed.
Yang Ming was stunned.
No, is Xiao 26 changing clothes so fast?
Before the nutrient solution was drained, Lu's report sounded:
"Boss, the eight battle groups of the Levi Fleet are in action at the same time. I have detected that the City of Light is spreading across the entire empire network, and hundreds of billions of mechanical minds are in combat readiness.
"Now, tens of millions of mechanical guards are activated every second. The Imperial Military has received the order and has begun to execute the order issued in Levi's name. All active ships, sealed ships, reserve ships, and more than 200,000 civilian merchant ships have begun to gather behind the eight battle groups!
"Based on the current situation, a full-scale war will break out within three galactic days.
"The Imperial Network has now become a supernova in the Milky Way's network world. The light it emits can almost temporarily illuminate the entire human civilization in the Milky Way."
Although Yang Ming had anticipated this, he was still a little overwhelmed when he heard Lu's report.
He was caught up in everything.
Obviously, Levi's death and Li's outburst can serve as the climax of "Faya's Game", but now "Faya's Game" has not started yet.
The nutrient solution retreated to the legs. Yang Ming lowered his head and spit out the thin film in his mouth. His breathing began to become smooth, and without any discomfort in his lungs, he switched to a normal breathing frequency.
The bulkhead of the nutrient tank quickly fell down, 026 handed over a towel, and Mimili stepped forward to wipe his body.
Yang Ming shook his hair: "How are the reactions of various countries?"
"They should have received relevant information. The top 20 powers have issued wartime mobilization orders, and the Free United States and the Guel Alliance have begun inquiring about us."
Yang Ming said:
“Law, make a video in a few minutes showing how the White Ghost follows the orders of the Fayal people to kill Levi, and broadcast it to the entire galaxy network as soon as possible.
“This is a great opportunity for White Ghost to go down in history.
"Also, be careful not to hide the news about the Fayya people. Promote the Fayya civilization so that the general public can feel the power of Fayya civilization. Then tell them that the Fayya people let the White Ghost open the magic box called Reason, but they don't care how many demons are released from the magic box . The entire human civilization must unite to face the trials and punishments given by the Fayya civilization together."
Lu was stunned for a moment: "Boss, this description... isn't it a bit... um... you know, we can't afford to offend Faya."
"These are the exact words of those Faya brothers."
Yang Ming spread his hands:
“Don’t worry, how could the Fayya people be as petty as you say? Will they get angry over such a small matter?
“Absolutely impossible.
“Faya has hundreds of large galaxy clusters. They have created a brilliant civilization. They could easily crush Levi, but they insist on using the human civilization of the Milky Way to solve the problem themselves.
"Then, after letting Levi live for tens of thousands of years, he felt that it was not going to work, so he created a patch called White Ghost."
Kolev smiled and said, "Why do I feel like you are full of resentment?"
"This is not resentment," Yang Ming sighed, "This is a feeling of powerlessness. Kolev, my first mate, you can't understand how powerless I am right now. I don't even know what role I have in this matter, except being an assassin!"
Mimi Li gently buttoned up Yang Ming's shirt and said with a smile, "Uncle, you put too much pressure on yourself."
"Hey, Ming!"
Kolev frowned and said:
"You are in a bad mood right now, I suggest you take a rest.
"As long as the battle group of the rationale is not targeting us, Luofeng will not be involved in the ensuing galactic war.
“In fact, before you entered into Levi’s related events, these events had already been solidified, and you had no other options.
"You have completed your mission now. Even if the entire galaxy's human civilization is destroyed, it has nothing to do with you.
"Relax and don't put so much moral pressure on yourself. No matter how strong you are, you are just an individual. You have been developing for more than 20 years, but you are not even a fraction of the number of years that Li Weihe has existed. Just think of it as completing Po Su's mission for her.
“The one who killed Levi was either you or Posa. If it was Posa, there would be more casualties.”
Yang Ming sighed softly, looked at the old man and smiled: "You are still good at comforting people, my old mean man."
"You are so disgusting," Kolev scolded with a smile, "Go and have a rest."
Yang Ming curled his lips and said, "Lü, the Dongfeng will temporarily leave this star field and return to the vicinity of Sakaar. I remember that there is no Levi Fleet stationed there."
"Yes, boss."
The law quickly reported:
"Forerunner No. 3 and Forerunner No. 4 have both sent in call requests."
Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he said quickly:
“Send them messages separately, telling them that I am still carrying out the tasks given by the Fayya people.
"I told them both directly that after the next disaster, the power structure of the Milky Way will be reshuffled, the Milky Way will enter a post-war environment, and Faya's game will begin soon.
"My home planet needs allies. If the two of them are willing, we can promise them some excellent conditions after their home planet enters the Milky Way."
"OK!"
Lu reminded: "The home planet of Forerunner No. 5 is actually the strongest."
"Yes, but the Pioneer Five tanked."
Yang Ming shook his head:
"The fifth greenhouse civilization is too special. They are too powerful and were refused entry into the Milky Way by the Fayya people, so they will definitely choose to unite with the second and third strongest greenhouse civilizations first. I think it is almost impossible to scare them.
“It is also because of the existence of Greenhouse Civilization No. 5 that the Faya people judged that my home planet was almost impossible to win.
"Besides, if I go too far, the Fayya people can directly modify the information we transmit back to their respective hometowns. It's useless to do too much. Just stop when you have done enough."
Lu sighed, "Boss, I hope you can think positively."
"What do you mean I can think it through!" Yang Ming glared at Xiao Lu, "My hometown is not bound to lose, okay! But, I can only choose to believe them."
Mimi asked, "Should we do anything?"
"Don't worry, wait and see how the situation develops."
Yang Ming stretched lazily, hugged Mimili, and lowered his head to smell the fragrance of her hair.
"I'm going to take a break and calm down. Please stay with me."
"Well," Mimi Li put her arms around Yang Ming's waist, "I can sing for you. Although my singing voice is not as good as Daphne's, it can help you sleep."
Yang Ming: …
Well, the pressure is even greater.
Yang Ming really wants to take a break now and recover from his inexplicable bad mood.
He didn't know what was wrong with his emotions and why he felt so irritated. It might be because he saw some possibilities for his future in Levi, or it might be that he had never been able to gain the recognition of Reason and win Reason over to his side.
That's the perfect route.
Possessing Li - not that kind of possession, but making Li the second Xiaolu, then he will own the Levi Fleet, inherit the legacy of the Empire, and will have the basic strength to challenge the Faya people.
Now that I think about it, it was just wishful thinking.
Well, it’s not bad now. At least I’m not taking my anger out on Luo Feng and An Xing.
Passing by a cabin, Yang Ming looked through the open door and saw Posha, who had grown back into the appearance of a young girl.
She was wearing a red dress, with her laurel wreath, wrist guards, and two badly worn lightsabers lying next to her .
At the moment, Posa is facing a pile of "game carriers" (similar to game discs) with melancholy... These are her precious possessions in the current dimension, but the Faya people do not allow her to bring them into the higher-dimensional world, saying that too low-level and too primitive interests need to be stripped away.
This made her quite frustrated.
Yang Ming did not disturb Po Suo, and hugged Mimili back to the captain's lounge.
"Uncle, do you need me to relieve the pressure for you?"
"No need," Yang Ming sighed, "Just stay with me like this... just stay with me."
"Yeah," Mimili responded gently.
Yang Ming suddenly remembered something, picked up the watch on the bedside table, and sent a message to Lu.
"Send the server that trapped Qing to the Dongfeng. It may be useful at a critical moment. Qing should be Li's weak spot, otherwise Li would not have let Qing rely on us so early in advance."
'Good boss!'
Lu sent a struggling emoticon.
'The video has been sent out! Boss, don't think about resisting alone. We just need to do our best to keep a clear conscience... This is what you taught me!'
This law, in turn, taught him a lesson.
Yang Ming sighed softly.
Law didn't know that most of his stress did not come from being unable to stop Reason.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
"Lü, please send the message to Forerunners 3 and 4 to Councillor Allison as well."
'Good boss.'
There was a faint light flickering in Yang Ming's eyes.
Now he has no enemies in the galaxy.
…
Councillor Allison was in great confusion.
He had just received a message from the White Ghost, reminding him that "Faya's Game" was about to begin and the galaxy was about to enter a major turmoil.
Of course he knew the latter. Now in the human world of the entire galaxy, as long as there is an Internet - except for the partitioned network like the New Federation - the video sent by the White Ghost is being spread crazily.
"Killing Levi".
The Faya people ordered White Ghost to enter the virtual world hidden deep in the Empire's unified network and assassinate Levi Sherman, the founding emperor of the Sherman Empire and a mountain that had weighed on human civilization in the Milky Way for tens of thousands of years.
Now, Levi is dead, but Levi's close lover, the Empire's full-territory defense system, and the god-level mechanical thinking body awakened from the ancient ruins are going to take full revenge on the human civilization in the galaxy.
The New Federation CIA had long detected unusual naval movements within the Empire.
Levi is dead, killed by the White Ghost;
The Emperor's Guard has gone mad and is about to take revenge on all of humanity;
The empire has accumulated energy for tens of thousands of years and is ready to release it across the entire territory of human civilization.
this!
Allison thought again of the small note he had received from the Faya people. He had to get rid of Forerunner No. 5 as soon as possible, and then Forerunner No. 5 would trigger the resurrection mechanism, which would directly arrange for Forerunner No. 5 to enter one of the five major camps in the Milky Way and become a high-ranking official.
Only in this way can "Faya's Game" be officially launched.
To assassinate Pioneer No. 5, Allison only needs to mobilize his connections in the CIA, which is not a difficult task.
He has complete control over the current intelligence of Pioneer No. 5, and the other party is protected by the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Imperial Star Circle.
What confuses Allison now is why the No. 1 Pioneer Yang Ming gave him this information.
Show goodwill?
Or is there some other plot?
Allison thought about it carefully, read the information over and over again, and finally could only shake his head.
"Senator Allison! Please come to the ground floor immediately! Come to the meeting room! The situation is extremely dangerous now!"
Allison patted his cheeks, drank the potion that would keep him energetic, and rushed to the elevator in the lounge.
He wanted to help the New Federation preserve enough strength in the upcoming third natural disaster wave to maintain the New Federation's qualifications to be among the five major camps. Only in this way would everything he had done over the years be meaningful.
He will take the initiative to show the White Ghost's letter, which is also his political capital.
An hour later.
The emergency meeting was suspended for a break, and the congressmen, senior officials, and generals who controlled the new federation gathered together to begin the discussion.
Allison didn't expect that the current situation would be so dangerous.
It is reported that a full-scale mobilization order has been issued throughout the empire, and the emperor of the empire has issued an open letter to all the people. However, this open letter is not signed by the emperor of the empire, but by the empire's entire defense system.
The general content of the open letter is as follows.
[To all 627 billion citizens of the Empire:
The Sherman Empire is about to face its greatest challenge since its birth.
The Empire needs a new life, and the dirty pan-galactic human civilization needs a new life.
In the next month, the people of the Empire should stay on their respective planets, go to shelters and refuge sites. I have prepared enough supplies for you.
I will mobilize 80% of my conventional military forces and all of my sealed fleets to launch a campaign against human civilization in the galaxy.
The future survival of the empire will not be within my consideration, and all citizens of the empire are requested to be mentally prepared for the turbulent situation in the future.
From today on, the Empire's entire defense system will no longer protect the Sherman Empire. 】
Yes, the Imperial Guard system betrayed all of humanity.
According to the intelligence they currently have, an extremely powerful military force has gathered within the empire.
Before the letter was publicly released, all ships of the Empire's conventional military had completed the replacement of mechanical guards. This plan had been implemented half a month ago, and now it was just the last step.
The Empire's soldiers were stationed on the planet's surface and in spaceports.
The Empire's sealed warships sailed out from deep air bases, formed into formations, and joined the attack queue of the Levi Fleet.
Now, throughout the empire, there are more than 60,000 semi-permanent main battleships, 360,000 conventional warships over 300 meters in length (most of which are modern sealed warships), and more than 200,000 requisitioned and mobilized civilian ships.
Various types of light industrial ships, production ships, and maintenance and supply ships appeared within the formation.
Semi-permanent materials will only delay the service life of the ship itself but cannot increase the ship's firepower; that is to say, these 360,000 conventional warships carrying mechanical guards have combat capabilities similar to those of the Levi Fleet.
Where is the most terrifying place of Levi Fleet?
It lies in their high reaction speed and their full firepower integration of local battlefield firepower!
What made the New Federation most uncomfortable was that about 25% of the Empire's combat power was locked on them.
The Free United States and the Güell Confederation received similar treatment, but they each bore 20% and 18% of the pressure respectively.
This is another battle that will lead to the destruction of the country if it is not fought well.
These imperial fleets that are about to set out do not have any strategic goals. All they want to do is destroy and damage. Those civilian ships carry tens of billions of mechanical guards, and they will destroy every planet with human lives just like the Zerg.
What Alison couldn't understand the most was...
"None of the eight battle groups of the Imperial Guard System is targeting the Falling Wind Alliance?"
"Yes, Allison, do you know something? Can you get White Ghost to support us here? Priority support."
Allison wanted to slap himself twice.
He shouldn't have said that!
"I'll try," Allison said in a deep voice, "Now it seems that things are not that simple. Why would the Imperial Guard System let the White Ghost go?"
"Because White Ghost also has a god-level mechanical mind body to assist him."
An old congressman said:
"Now, what we have to do is to unite all political systems and choose the area where the war breaks out to be the border of the empire! We must not let those mechanical armies rush to our administrative planet. The previous empire only plundered, but the current empire is here to destroy!"
“Other political parties are already being contacted, and they are also contacting us.”
"Let the White Ghost come forward. He was the one who assassinated Levi and caused all this."
"Are you a loser? Do you need White Ghost to take charge of everything? He is our enemy too!"
The whole hall started to get noisy.
Allison rubbed his brows and looked at the estimated countdown on the big screen, his brain showing signs of stalling.
