Chapter 1601 Salaman
For the first time in thousands of years, the Guardian Legion stood outside the defense lines.
Black starships shuttled back and forth in space, cleaning up the remaining deadly corrosion and harmful debris on the battlefield as quickly as possible. Temporary outposts and defense platforms were set up to consolidate this position that was not yet stable enough. After layers of reinforcements, the casters among the guardian giants set up warning eyes at the edge of the position to guard against sudden counterattacks by the corruptors - everything was going on in an orderly manner.
In other parts of the battlefield, the frighteningly large drone army is also reorganizing its team and withdrawing from the position in an orderly manner. They are setting up bunkers and drone storage warehouses further away from the hub. , such a gesture effectively reduced the guardians' fear of these terrifying machines.
The Nakdal Fortress slowly floated to the area where the Guardian and Drone Legion lines intersected, and anchored at this balance point. This new fortress was not able to show off its capabilities throughout the whole process, but in the last ten minutes it used anti-aircraft fire to intercept the Corrupted Legion. It could be considered to have withstood the baptism of war. In the sky above Nakdal Fortress, the Giant Turtle Platform and the Guardian's flagship "El" were slowly approaching, and a channel connection was established.
Considering that the guardian giant's height of more than ten meters made it difficult to move in many places on the Giant Turtle Platform, Hao Ren and Vivian agreed to Salaman's invitation and boarded the giant ship that was as majestic as a black mountain. Ship, the Guardian Legion Commander personally and warmly welcomed them.
This is not the first time Hao Ren has boarded a Guardian ship, but it is the first time he has boarded a Guardian warship that is in perfect condition. All the facilities inside this huge war machine match the size of a giant. Everything can be seen They were all astonishingly huge, which left a deep impression on Hao Ren and Vivian - but that was all. They have been dealing with the Mulu trio for a long time, and have now become accustomed to the things used by these giants.
This allowed Hao Ren to quickly withdraw his attention from the behemoths around him and shift his attention to the conversation with Salaman.
The leader of the Guardian Legion obviously took into account the huge difference in body size between the two parties, so he prepared a platform suspended in mid-air for Hao Ren and Vivian in advance so that both parties could talk at the same height - this courtesy The thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness made Vivian quite satisfied.
The bridge of the Guardian starship was much livelier than that of the Giant Turtle Platform. This giant ship obviously required the control of many controllers to operate. Hao Ren curiously looked at the scene in the bridge, and those who served as operators and The commander's guardian giants were also looking at him curiously. This was an equally novel moment for both parties.
The Guardian Giant came into contact with a force (or individual) who called themselves "Observers" for the first time. They were very interested in this man who looked no different from a human but possessed powerful power. Hao Ren's curiosity became even simpler. :
This was the first time he saw so many guardian giants! And they are all panting!
These are all compatriots of Mulu and Remendusa! There were at least two rows of giants standing on the bridge alone! Everyone is alive and kicking! If this was taken back to the three gardeners in Tanagus, it would be possible for all three of them to have a myocardial infarction on the spot, right?
"Ahem, Hao Ren, pay attention, your eyes are straight," Vivian noticed that Hao Ren was wandering away again, and reminded softly with a hint of helplessness, "Salaman is saying hello to you."
"Uh-huh." Hao Ren quickly recovered his thoughts that had drifted away and looked at the huge head in front of him.
Salaman is a guardian giant with an obvious aging state - although guardians have an almost unlimited lifespan and are immortal species in the standard sense, some of them will still allow their bodies to show an old appearance as time goes by. There are signs that the old giant in front of him is obviously like this. His beard and hair are thick, and his white beard and hair cover almost half of his face. The exposed skin has obvious sagging and wrinkles, but his eyes are still radiant and full of wisdom.
"Commander of the Salaman Army, first of all, I am very happy to talk to you face to face here," Hao Ren said with a smile on his face, "About the escaped Amantil... I have many questions that I don't quite understand."
"This is my responsibility. I didn't expect that the drone army brought by your Excellency would be... so powerful that it directly defeated those freaks on the frontal battlefield," Salaman spoke, his voice booming. Like thunder, "All I originally wanted to do was to push the front forward, and the Guardian Legion and the Drone Legion would complete the rendezvous, and then we would discuss the next step."
He first explained why he did not inform about Amantil in advance, but in fact, what he said was indeed the previously discussed combat process. The actual results of the drone were something that even Hao Ren could not have imagined. It was in this It was only at this stage that the communication between the two parties went awry.
Then the legion commander explained in detail: "Amantil is indeed the lair of the corrupted ones, but it... was also an important property of the Guardian Legion, and there are some vital information on that planetary battleship. Things cannot be damaged under any circumstances.”
Hao Ren instantly thought of something, which was the most special item on the entire planetary battleship: "Is it a crystal that serves as a 'navigation computer'?"
"How did you..." Salaman was a little surprised for a moment, but then he figured out the connection, "That's right, Nakdal is currently in your hands, and I saw that its control center is still standing on the surface, so it must be You have already come into contact with the 'Nakdal Crystal' located underground in the control center."
"So that crystal is named directly after the planetary battleship..." Hao Ren mumbled and raised his head, "Can you tell us more about that crystal?"
Salaman showed hesitation this time, and finally shook his head slightly: "Sorry, this is a matter related to the confidentiality of the Holy Land, we can't..."
Hao Ren didn't wait for the old giant to finish speaking, then raised his hand and pointed at Vivian standing next to him: "Doesn't she even have the right to know?"
Several guardian giants standing nearby looked at each other, and Salaman couldn't help but ask: "She? This lady is..."
"If I'm not mistaken, those goblins think I am their queen," Vivian spread her hands, "And if I am not mistaken, I was created by the goddess of creation with her own divine blood... She is considered her biological daughter."
Vivian's expression was particularly weird when she said these words, with a bit of embarrassment and guilt: This was the first time she had introduced her origins to others in such a serious manner. The frighteningly high family background in her household registration book made this person The Countess (now the Queen), who had been poor all her life, felt as if she was living in a dream.
Of course, what's even more embarrassing is that she really doesn't feel that being the queen of those messy goblins is something worthy of pride and pride...
After hearing this, all the guardian giants had the same expression: O-O? !
Even Salaman was stunned. After a few seconds, the old giant suddenly put on a serious expression and frowned at the men and women standing on the platform: "Do you know what you are talking about? This is not a joke. Thing--do you really know what the Goddess of Creation means?"
"How could I not know? I have been struggling with this matter for four years," Hao Ren waved his hand. "Over the years, I have been running around this universe looking for the relics of the goddess of creation, and I am still trying to think of ways to reorganize her creations... Ah, this is digressing from the topic, let’s talk about Vivian’s identity. I can assure you that what she said is true. I have witnessed everything with her - when you are isolated in this In the ancient star sector, the outside world has undergone changes that you cannot imagine, such as the weakening of the wall of reality, such as a large group of creatures from this universe traveling to other worlds, such as... the goddess of creation once created a god clone, and this divine clone is the one standing next to me now. But my biggest headache now is how to prove this to you..."
As he spoke, he looked at Vivian and lowered his voice: "Speaking of which, the biggest problem with your identity as the goddess's daughter is that you still have no proof - why didn't the goddess of creation leave a show when she created you? As for the function of identity, for example, when you see other guardian giants, you can activate a skill, and then the holy light will surround the sky and bring down the oracle..."
Vivian squinted at the sky at 45 degrees: "Your ability to associate is too... But then again, even if the goddess of creation left this part of the setting for me, what's the use? I'm just a second person. One part is a divine clone, and the other part is that I have lost my memory.”
The two were muttering below, but Salaman's eyes were getting more and more serious. His first reaction was that the two in front of him were talking nonsense, but his reason told him that no one would joke about such a topic.
This is a discussion about gods and the survival of the world.
And there is the most important point: this matter involves the deepest secrets, which cannot be inquired by just anyone. The mortal races in this universe do not know where the "observers" from outside the known world come from. Know?
The fact that they talked about it so matter-of-factly spoke volumes.
"There is one thing I need to correct," Salaman suddenly said, "We are indeed blocked in this star sector, but this does not mean that we know nothing about what you are talking about. In fact, we are exactly the The insider of all these events, at least the insider of most of the truth. The large number of creatures traveling across the world you mentioned should be the Yggdrasil Ark plan. Although I have not personally experienced it, I know that my mother has this plan. ; I also know the divine clone you mentioned, and I even know that this divine clone has an identity on the Ark of Yggdrasil... a guide."
Now it was Hao Ren's turn to change his expression into two circles and a horizontal line: O-O? !
Are the guardian giants in front of us witnesses to the various death plans of the Creation Goddess? !
So their staying here is part of the plan?
Hao Ren was in a daze for a moment, and then realized that everything was logical:
Vivian is the divine avatar of the goddess of creation and the guide to the Ark of Yggdrasil. Her soul stores the star map of the X star cluster, and the deepest part of the X star cluster is the location of the "hub" of the crystal planet. , Salaman and his legions are stationed here, of course they should know a lot of things...
"The goblins can prove her identity," Hao Ren said seriously. "Vivian once activated the Nakdar Crystal. The goblins were present at the time. They said it was the symbol of the queen."
There was a burst of exclamations and discussions on the bridge: the guardian giant's whispers were like thunder, and Salaman had to raise his voice to quiet everyone: "Silence, silence! You just said that she can activate Nak Dahl crystal?”
"That's right," Hao Ren's heart moved, "Do you think this is the proof?"
"No, just activating the Nakdal Crystal is not enough, but we have other ways to verify the identity of the guide..."
