Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 89: Unexpected Recruitment
At the same time , in the Delta sector.
Although the summoning array absorbed more than one-tenth of the mass of the entire planet, just like a deflated ping-pong ball, it was obviously worthwhile to create a permanent summoning channel.
The allies of the Holy Light emerged from the huge gap and piled their materials around the platform. They piled some space platforms around in a very fast way and built a fortress. Although these defective populations have their own disadvantages, in terms of infrastructure, these aliens obviously have their own unique methods. For example, super-speed proliferation, calling the dead, drones and the like.
Although only a few hours had passed since the chaotic battlefield, a simple war platform had been built. Various energy extraction devices and partition systems were set up on the exposed core of the Delta star region, constantly refining the energy inside for 24 hours to supply others. Some warships also pulled a large number of factories around the Delta planet and established various painting and transformation projects. Under the numb eyes of others, they gradually replaced their warships, which looked very hideous and terrifying, with a layer of golden and magnificent skin.
It should be said that intelligent creatures are visual creatures. Although everyone knows that these warships are essentially monsters, when they were painted gold, everyone felt inexplicably relieved, as if they had encountered something good.
In fact, this was the case. These aliens were very scary as enemies, but very friendly as allies. Under various discriminations, they seemed to have many things that should not exist. But when these demons changed their colors and became our own people, those so-called rumors seemed to become the benchmark of combat effectiveness. They were some strengths that could be boasted about and could be called racial characteristics.
But is the real situation really like this? The real situation is definitely not as simple as those novelists say.
"No, there's nothing like creating a swarm of insects in one second. No, no, not even if you look at me."
At a simple combat meeting held on the space platform, the hive consciousness waved its hands impatiently.
"How is that possible? Even with magic, it can't be that fast, right? You know that it takes a certain amount of time for the chitinous cuticle to weather quickly. Our insect swarm's ability to extract biomass is not as good as those of intelligent races. You want us to perform magic instantly? No, no, there is only one insect in our egg. How can we have twins or multiple births? We are all good children who have been carefully prepared. How can we be so casual?"
"Don't think that the bugs can produce quickly just because they reproduce in large numbers. Think about it, our hive fleet needs the energy of an entire star to produce a Leviathan Star Devourer, okay? Look at other biological races, they can beat eighty Star Devourers with the energy of one star. We are just using biological energy to evolve quickly. You want us to be the main force or something, but we can't beat them. We really can't beat them. Don't put your expectations on us, okay? We are a discrete consciousness. Only I have magic power. Other bugs are just bugs."
"So don't show that disappointed expression. We are the victims, okay? They say that bugs are easy to build when there are a lot of bugs. What's really easy to build is the machine consciousness over there, okay? We didn't grow up eating dirt, but the ones over there can really eat dirt. You might as well go ask her."
"No, we don't need too many silicon crystals. They are not important materials for making machines."
The loli with long ice-blue hair sat on the chair with her eyes closed, indifferently refutating the frame-up of the Hive Will over there.
"We need minerals and trace elements. Although we can build very quickly and have excellent recycling capabilities, you are all very clear about our performance on the front battlefield. Unless we use wetware, we are completely powerless against various magics. Perhaps you should look for the undead."
"Don't ask me. I'm just a young Undead Lord. Normally, I should still be in school. How can you ask such a profound question to a primary school student? The immortal Undead army you imagine does not exist at all, because not every skeleton can be successfully summoned. Even if they can be successfully summoned, their combat effectiveness is very questionable. The funeral customs in this world are different, and we can't conjure people out of thin air."
“…”
How should I put it? Listening to this grievance meeting, the commander just felt that his future seemed a little uncertain.
Where are the swarms of insects that devour the heavens and the earth? Where are the machines that can squeeze oil out of stones? Where are the immortal undead? How come you are not as powerful as described in the novels? How can we, the remnants of the defeated army, defeat the Free Alliance if you are so weak?
"I'm not too worried about the combat effectiveness of the middle and high-level forces. I found allies in the Eastern world to help us clear many obstacles, so we still have a very big advantage now. It's just that the problem of troop replenishment and individual soldier quality may be a little unsatisfactory, but I believe that as time goes by, we will definitely be able to find some good ways to solve these problems."
Li Lin, who had come back at some point, smiled like those Indians who only knew how to make PPTs but not how to solve problems. Everyone was in harmony and there was no sense of crisis at all.
The commander swore to heaven that the world he had imagined was not like this. In theory, the dream was that in the face of such a world-destroying crisis, everyone would pull out a million troops from their pants like magic and rush towards the enemy's position without dying, constantly causing destruction and killing, and then push through in one breath, instead of arguing over paint issues like now, and then blaming each other for the uneven distribution of population.
This isn't the world I dreamed of. Is there something wrong with this? This isn't right, brother.
"Well, actually the enemy is not as strong as imagined."
The commander gave a forced smile and pointed at the combined Zerglings.
There were still quite a few of these test subjects left, patrolling around like soldiers. Their appearance did not seem reassuring. However, the internal logic of these creatures was more reliable than any soldier.
The commander pointed at the reliable Zerglings and forced a smile on his face, hoping to pull these people who had gone astray back to the normal track of conversation. At least there is still hope for the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers. After all, don’t those combined bodies look pretty good? This combination of three religions must be strong. It can resist magic, kill people, and self-destruct. The commander thinks this Zergling is a very good template.
"I think we should deploy according to the template of this Zergling. The individual quality of the Free Alliance is not as high as imagined, so we still have hope."
The commander had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart. He suppressed his fear and tried to sell the Zerglings they made to these people.
"I was once saved by these little creatures. When facing the enemy, they showed extraordinary killing ability, and they can also record some information accordingly. They can also kill the enemy with their own explosions. It can be said that they are a very complete type of soldier. If we all follow this template, I believe our war will be much simpler."
"Ah? Each of these things requires the three of us to coordinate and configure them personally. How can it be that simple? Do you think this thing is easy to make?"
The hive consciousness, who loved to talk, shook his finger and gave an expression that said you are still young.
"The core is driven by the curse stone of the undead, the outer layer is the muscle I carefully designed, and the center is an automatic machine made of rare minerals. The only purpose of these experimental soldiers is to quickly rescue some VIPs, and then create a summoning array locally to summon our main army. It seems to be very effective, but we are not that strong. I hope you can have a correct strategic understanding of your own allies."
"Eh? Oh, I see. I thought every three-in-one product was such a high-end product. I didn't expect it to be a test product, ahahahaha..."
Then what is there for you to be proud of? Isn't this a shame?
Looking at the proud faces of those three, the commander felt extremely twisted inside.
The Holy Light faction does not have any special bonuses for the Free Alliance. Although it seems that the Undead Hall Brigade seems to have some solutions, there is no special attack without special attack! They can take out 10,000 ships from their crotch to surround the point and attack the reinforcements. We really don’t have enough manpower here.
The commander looked at the panel on the table and did some calculations. He was surprised to find that the ratio of the enemy to our own people seemed to have reached an astonishing 176 to 1. Even though the three races had been thriving in the dark star zone for such a long time, it would still take time to gather them together. For the Free Alliance, which was assembling or had already assembled, the population gap between the two sides had reached an extremely terrifying point, and it could even be said that they could surrender on the spot.
There is also a gap in the high-level combat power between the two sides. Although we have the mysterious Tenth Crown as reinforcement, the other side has many veteran gods, as well as those middle-level demigods, the second-stage awakened strongmen in the lower level, and even those numerous strange superpowers. Judging from the data on paper, even strategic defense in Delta is very difficult. Unless the Tenth Crown is merciful and assembles a large number of troops from nowhere, perhaps the Undead Hall can become the basis for a comeback. But those simple players are too few in number...
In the entire cosmic war, your millions of players can only be said to be the backbone rather than the decisive force, which is a big problem.
"Hmm... I might have a way."
But if you think about it carefully, this is a bit inhumane...
After receiving the message, Li Lin's expression looked a little strange, but he immediately shook his head and showed a warm smile.
"But let's forget it. Although we are currently at a disadvantage, the fact that we were able to defeat their ambush circle means that they don't have the potential to crush us in battle. This means that we can still defeat them through strategic deployment. So let's do this first..."
"Wait a moment, I may be able to solve your problem."
Just when the conversation was getting difficult to continue, a gentle voice suddenly appeared from the side of the crowd.
Under Li Lin's surprised gaze, the university professor who had helped him countless times - no, now the vice-president, was taking off his hat and revealing an elegant and polite smile.
"In this war, we hope that the university can get a share of the spoils. We also need some real backup forces to fill our resources. And you happen to have your own unique views on these things. I think we can become natural allies, rather than just verbal promises. Don't you think so? Professor Li Lin?"
