Star Master

The distance for the mage's eye to function in deep space is too far, and the fleet is advancing at full speed, and the time-consuming period is enough for the mage to tear the victim's soul out.

The soul that involuntarily escaped from the body appeared foggy, and mosaic parts appeared from time to time in its appearance. Ludwig froze Nigel's body into an ice sculpture to prevent the body from withering due to lack of vitality after the soul departed from the body.The time for the spell to take effect should not be too long, otherwise the soul of an ordinary human without protection will be eroded by the outside world, thus losing the coherence with the body—yes, one’s original body can also lose coherence with the soul, the general principle is like a smartphone system upgrade It has been maintained, but the hardware is aging, and the coordination is not good.

The efficiency of interrogating a prisoner of war and obtaining information from a well-trained soldier is completely different.

Hayden saluted the soul body in the magic circle, and the Marshal of the Empire still recognized this respectable warrior.

He asked, "Since when have you been parasitized? Did you know it?"

Nigel answered him: "Yes, about five years ago, I was still serving in the Imperial Army, an ordinary field mission to detect mine veins, and I first came into contact with the third civilization in the mine veins."

"Why didn't you report it?"

"It can't be done, although it doesn't show on the outside, but anything that reveals its existence can't be done after being parasitized." Nigel replied, "I think the transformation process is controlled. They may have a central computer. The speed of transformation can be controlled remotely, and I still maintain the appearance of a human being for five years, and no one notices."

Fantastic creature, Hayden thought: "The accident of the rail gun project, was it artificially created by you? In a parasitic state?"

"Yes." Nigel replied calmly, "You have seen the process of transformation. Transforming a human body can still be resisted by spiritual power. If transforming a machine...the rail gun is simply a weapon built for them."

"Then you know why they want to go to war with humans?"

Nigel's soul was misty, but it was obvious that he was smiling wryly: "No, they didn't start a war with humans. That's not called a war. It's called a war when humans and Zerg fight with their heads hot. Our definition of war , for the third civilization, it has the same meaning as eating."

Humans call Mia and her compatriots Zerg, not that they are insects, but that their social structure is similar to the ant colony or bee colony known to human beings, but the social structure of the third civilization is different from any known species of human beings similar.

"Predator." Nigel finally said the concept he had conceived in the past few years, so that his voice seemed erratic and excited:

"The organizational form of human society includes production and consumption. We are self-sufficient and grow stronger; the social structure of the Zerg is similar to the ant colony supporting the queen, and the female is respected. The Zerg Emperor and the high-level mistress hardly produce and do nothing. , is only responsible for defending the population at critical moments, guiding high-end technology, and continuing the population. The third civilization, they do not produce any value, they are predators wandering in the universe, they snatch the civilization achievements of other civilizations, destroy planets, dig away The core of the planet, like locusts passing through, took away the resources of the entire galaxy-so they didn't start a war with humans, the human airspace just happened to be in their path, and they were just following their own way of survival."

There is no position, no purpose, no difference in belief, but an essential difference in the way of life. If what Nigel said is true, then the third civilization and mankind will never go to the one-stop negotiating table hand in hand, and it is impossible for mankind to be able to Talk to the locust "Hey bro, we have a bad harvest this year, can you stop eating the crops", and the locust will die because of it.

The necromancy spell can ensure that Nigel's soul cannot tell lies. Even if something is wrong, it is because Nigel hasn't studied it thoroughly.

"Star Demon!" Ludwig said suddenly, and then Hayden and Nigel realized that demon is not an interjection, but a pronoun of the species, "Their existence is very much like the demons of the abyss plane. Grab the life force of the main material plane to survive. Although the world is different from the world, the operating principles will be somewhat similar. Your interstellar space is too large, and perhaps the creator originally thought that there was no need to isolate the demons in a secondary plane."

Hayden asked again: "Do you now know what methods can resist them?"

Nigel replied: "Silicone. The parasite on my body tried to infect. The metal spike penetrated into a sleeping female engineer and was blocked by her breast augmentation silicone prosthesis."

Alien species invaded and died of human beings' pursuit of beauty. Hayden was in a complicated mood: "... and what else..."

"Currently, metals can only spread to metals, and there are certain conditions for transformation. They cannot transform plastics, silicones, and other items without metal components. The transformation of living organisms starts with blood, and the denaturation of hemoglobin is the beginning of transformation into mechanical organisms. I I think that apart from...magical means—” Nigel glanced at the experimental table full of fear, “The treatment of minor injuries can start with blood transfusion.”

Knowing a little defense, the image of the enemy no longer resembles the protagonist of a thriller.Once you touch it, it will mutate, until you know exactly what the other party uses as the medium of communication, the progress in cognition will reduce the pressure in your heart, and ordinary soldiers can comfort themselves-it is a new type of disease, which can be prevented and controlled like the flu.

After the questioning, Hayden and Ludwig didn't bother Nigel any more. This soldier was exhausted physically and mentally. He had greatly improved human understanding of the third civilization, but the price he paid was that he had been working day and night for five years. Enduring the torment without stopping, before he met Hayden and Ludwig, he already had the worst prediction that the secret would never be revealed.

After the assembly of the mecha troops, Dios was arranged to defend the flagship. In this battle, Marshal Hayden and his descendants of the Black Moon Knights went out in person. All the mecha fighters wore a silicone tights, making the mecha fighters look a bit like Diving team.The legendary Archmage is their last life jacket, once the mecha is transformed and parasitized by aliens, they can choose to pop out of the cockpit, and the mage has the ability to retrieve them.

The battlefield is right in front of you, and the war in the vacuum environment has always been brilliant and silent. The Rose Army is the best scout army in the empire. This army can perfectly perform tasks such as spying and assassination, so other troops really don’t know that the Rose Army is also in the frontal battlefield. Can play so fiercely.

Fleet against fleet, large mech against large mecha, Hayden's caution has not come in handy for the time being - in the environment where light energy cannons are bombarded, it becomes impossible to parasitize and transform the enemy, so the dim rose he saw is still As the dim rose of human beings, the mecha troops have normal combat attrition, but there is no "parasitic mutiny".

Joanne herself is in a fierce battle with the leader mecha of the other party. It is a pitch-black mecha. If you ask a few designers to look at it, they will exclaim, "It's so black and colorful." The black color of the alien metal life It reflects a complex and magnificent light, making that black so iconic that no human designer can come up with colorful black paint.

White Night Frost Star joins the battle at this moment. The outer shell of this mech has been solidified by Ludwig with some kind of black magic protection layer, so now it looks more like "Night Frost Star", so much so that Joanne almost thought it was an enemy The reinforcements came up with a cannonball.

Fortunately, the communication connection speed of artificial intelligence is extremely fast. Joanne looked at the mecha number in the channel with a complicated expression, and tried: "Xia Zuo?"

"Your Excellency Joanne, I am Hayden."

Before she had time to think about what the first marshal was doing in her son's mecha, Joanne let out a roar, then turned around and hugged the enemy mecha. The assassin female warrior known for her ghostly appearance was now like an enraged god of war. The light energy knife was released, and the knife waved a brilliant light curtain, cutting off the arm of the enemy mech with one knife.

The commander suffered heavy losses, which is enough to depress morale for any civilization.

Coupled with the addition of Hayden, the battle became less suspenseful. Compared with the Rose Legion, the Black Moon Knights are good at frontal charges. Their combat style is as strong and brave as the highest officer. The fleet of the Third Civilization is bigger than Hayden and Nigel imagined. It is enough to prove that they are not beasts advancing by hunting instinct, but another civilization.

They began to fight and retreat, trying to avoid Hayden's edge. Joanne's Rose Army had been fighting for a long time, and it was already on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, so Hayden decisively ordered the main artillery to bombard and kill as many enemies as possible. , but he did not send troops to chase and kill those who were determined to flee. It was not the purpose of his trip to wipe out a small group of troops.

"Your Excellency, Joanne." Hayden assisted Joanne's troops in reorganizing, "Our department received your emergency call for help, but the road was blocked. Fortunately, there was still time."

The journey to find Joanne is long and difficult, but the real battle to rescue her is very easy. Under Hayden's operation, Baiye Froststar definitely deserves the reputation of a legendary mecha. The marshal easily entered the back row and smashed the parasitic mechs into pieces. You don't have to worry about the tricks of the parasitic life. The holy light flows in the blood of this body, and the evil spirits have nowhere to hide. .

The remnants of the enemy escaped from the Holy Light Meat Grinder and rushed towards the distance regardless of everything. Hayden ordered to return to defense instead of chasing.

"We encountered an ambush after entering this frontier star field." Joanne explained, "It is not the Zerg that attacked us but the human fleet, but the scale is far larger than any pirate gang on the most wanted list, so I think the enemy is not ordinary exiles or pirates, so in a hurry, in order to prevent signal interference, I sent an emergency signal."

She seemed to hesitate to speak, but after a while, the outstanding commander said: "The enemy commander is most likely a traitor to the empire."

She paused and made up her mind: "It's my husband, the major general of the Empire who was declared dead 15 years ago, Rollei."

The distant black fleet disappeared into the depths of the starry sky, and the dim rose of the empire looked in that direction, the light energy knife in his hand was bright and dark, with murderous intent.

But Hayden said: "No, the good news is that Major General Rollei is not a traitor, and his death 15 years ago should not be faked. Your Excellency Joanne, the person you just fought with is not an ordinary exile, or even an ordinary human being. I have There is solid evidence that they are a third civilization, a new, parasitic form of predator civilization."

Parasitic transformation requires a relatively quiet and stable environment. On the battlefield where light energy cannons explode frequently, energy fluctuations make all human mecha soldiers temporarily safe, but Hayden must guard against all possibilities. Every rescued soldier is forcibly isolated, including Marshal Joanne herself, they were placed separately in the airtight cabin, and the Archmage was a temporary guest engineer in the production workshop. He and his apprentices painted isolation magic circles on each airtight cabin without sleep. Fortunately, the battle mage training class has achieved initial results. Many fighters who learned quickly obtained the qualifications of assistants.

Two hours after boarding the ship, two Rose Legion soldiers were detected to contain parasitic life in their bodies, and their blood cells showed iron gray in the test.

Thank goodness Hayden was careful enough not to leave any room for the parasite to infect.The military doctors and scientists on the ship wore a full set of silicone protective suits to conduct laboratory tests on the infected. They did not want to rely entirely on the wizard's magic. The doctors tried to use existing science to find a cure.

At this time, Joanne's calmness made Hayden respectful. This lady had been fighting for several months, and was isolated and helpless during the process. Those old antiques that even the Queen complained about, Joanne accepted it well, and even felt relaxed and happy.

"It's good to know that he is still a hero. And listen to what you mean, can you find a way to save him after transformation?"

"Anything is possible." Hayden replied cautiously, "After all, we have only just come into contact with this new civilization." If Joanne really did not admit the wrong person, Hayden smiled—the marshal's husband was killed 15 years ago, according to the file The most important thing is to fight and sacrifice with the unseen interstellar exile organization when exploring the unknown star field. Although Nigel died on the mage's experimental table 15 years later, he is tenacious and complete after all. It is hard to say what the future will be like. Isn't that what the word hope means at this time?

The rescue this time is really full of surprises everywhere.

Joanne said with a chicken leg in the airtight cabin, "If it's the third civilization, the starry sky is so big, it's not impossible. Speaking of which, what are you doing climbing into my son's mecha?"

Marshal Pale Rose Joanne's eyes are quite sharp. If she was not holding a half-eaten chicken leg but a light energy knife in her hand, Hayden would reflexively assume a defensive posture. When she looked at Hayden, she looked like a toil Farmers are wary of wild boars who try to trick their own cabbage—they have all climbed into the exclusive mecha, and if they don’t pay attention, the heart of the planet will not know where he is going to climb next!

Ludwig hesitated outside the isolation cabin. The archmage can rush into the starry sky without any worries and crush the enemy group, but facing the mother of this body, the mage feels extremely difficult.Hayden waited for a long time without seeing Ludwig enter the door, turned around and walked out, hugging the sorcerer who was tense and obviously in a state of preparation.

"What's wrong?" He patted the mage on the back, feeling that the other party was extremely nervous.

"I was raised by teachers, and I have never had contact with creatures like 'mother'." Ludwig broke away from Hayden and continued to circle in the corridor, looking quite irritable, like a poor student who is about to take a high-level math exam .

Hayden couldn't offer any strategic advice on this. Hayden, the son of the stars, also had no contact with creatures like his mother.

"Also, I don't know if I should tell her the truth. I always feel that she should know the truth—" Ludwig stopped spinning, "I don't want to lie to a fighting hero, a wonderful mother, I At the beginning, she agreed to pretend to be Xia Zuo, which was Xiaobai's request, Xiaobai said that Marshal Joanne couldn't bear the pain of losing her family again, but she didn't lose her family, her family was taken away."

Hayden and Bai Yeshuangxing woke up at the same time, and they almost said in unison: "What did you say?"

Ludwig spread his hand, showing another blood clot in his palm: "It's a bit disgusting to take out a blood clot every day, but I can't help it. Even if Xia Zuo didn't die of suicide, he would die of heart failure and blood vessel blockage in a few months. , Xiaobai said that it has been monitoring Xia Zuo's health in the past, and has never found any signs of heart failure or blood vessel blockage in Xia Zuo, this disease is violent, and the outbreak is very strange."

The mage crushed the sticky and disgusting blood clot: "If Xia Zuo committed suicide voluntarily without any external influence, I can pretend to be Xia Zuo—in order not to make Joanne feel overly sad, but Xia Zuo was plotted against. A mother has the right to know the truth and avenge him."

After he finished speaking, his body suddenly lightened, and the remaining soul and will trembled slightly. All the mysteries hidden in the young man were discovered by the mage, and what the mage lacked most was the desire to explore, so he no longer had any more With his obsession, he fell asleep to a deeper place, black hair was dyed strand by strand, and Ludwig's soul truly merged with this body, completely and thoroughly.

The author has something to say: Joanne (vigilance): Hayden, what are you doing! ! !Everyone is a marshal, you can't fool me with such a small trick!

Hayden (standing at attention): Integrity, honesty, courage, sacrifice!

Lulu: He's right. 【Cleaning test bench ing】
