#262 - Section 262
Having the past makes one look forward to the future even more.
This is the power that people draw from their past. The correctness that others tell you is ultimately superficial. Walking in that direction for too long will slowly make you feel tired and lost.
Only the things you desire, the small world you want to create, can you persevere through hardship and failure because of love.
Luo Jie understands this feeling very well. This is his lying flat.
Because it is a path he recognizes, just like practicing the operations of a favorite hero in a game, isn't the boredom in the training camp and the initial abuse by others the process of doing homework and test papers?
But that process is easier to persevere than studying at school, and more acceptable than the boss's scolding at work.
Even if teammates scold and opponents laugh while playing games, some people will still stick to their main character, trying thousands of times, admitting that they just can't handle this kind of operation, and then completely give up...
Oh!
So lying flat is not necessarily negative, and hard work is not necessarily exploitation. The main thing is whether it is your own desire or a direction imposed by others.
Xia Na tidied up her cluttered mood and looked back at this void world that was no longer special. More and more worlds in the multiverse are like this, without even a past existence, all the same, smoothed out the differences accumulated over countless years.
"Even if there is no eternity, I will try my best to leave my own color in the limited time."
The little angel retracted her gaze, revealing a very faint but firm smile.
......
......
Multiverse, Target B Plane.
Under the command of Empress Yongye of the Empire's First Fleet, they appeared above the capital of a vast country, and the Great Church of the God of War erected a sturdy rain cover.
The Pope stood on a high platform, organizing millions of believers to pray and pray, resisting the evil invaders from other planes.
"Evil? Super villain?朕 still likes this title very much!"
On the bridge of the Yongye, Empress Yongye showed a smug and rampant smile. The war desire that had been suppressed for five years returned to her.
At this time, her eyes were bright, no longer lazy, and sharp as a drawn blade. No matter what kind of enemy was in front of her, she dared to face them head-on.
The imperial soldiers who followed her on the expedition were also quite excited and enthusiastic, feeling happy for the continuous victories.
They were invincible and successfully carried out a blitz on Target A Plane, a world that didn't even have an official name, only a code name.
The only feature was that Taibeira had as many as one billion believers there, so the empire uprooted the church that spread the faith of the Goddess of War, and then transferred to the next plane without stopping.
The empire only sent out a fleet, proving that the combat effectiveness of the mixed fleet completely surpassed the magic troops of the past era, and its assault capabilities were unparalleled in the world.
But their numbers are limited and they cannot occupy the enemy's territory.
But Empress Yongye doesn't need to do anything. Without the power of the church, other surrounding churches will divide those believers.
The Seven Gods seem to be one family, but on the matter of faith, they immediately become plastic sisters. When they encounter unowned ones, everyone is a mad dog and will not care that this used to be Taibeira's personal property.
If you can't keep it yourself and put it on the street, it's a public resource, and whoever is faster deserves to own it.
The God of Knowledge goes to harvest the wool of the Sea God, and Taibeila has also taken advantage of the God of Nature more than once. Everyone is not a good thing, so don't blame each other. This kind of thing depends entirely on ability.
It is with such "tacit" cooperation that the empire only needs to be responsible for breaking through the Church of the Goddess of War, and the follow-up matters will naturally be completed by someone, which greatly enhances the efficiency of the war.
The imperial military also fought like this for the first time, and it felt great!
Real wars are not like games where you click on the next level to constantly fight one powerful enemy after another, defeat them and enjoy the joy of victory. There is a lot of swamp-like trouble before and after, which can make even war lunatics develop procrastination with anticipation and difficulty for war.
The preparations in the early stage, tearing apart with the civil servants, the occupation in the later stage, various resistance forces, and the management of completely stabilizing a place are all much more boring than the real battle.
The empire's past wars were also like this, such as sweeping seventeen countries, such as attacking the orcs, no matter how closely connected, the work before and after must be completed.
The mobilization of troops and the transportation of materials alone require the cooperation of a large number of staff and civilians to ensure the smooth operation of the entire system.
But these problems are no longer a problem for the Empire's First Fleet. The Yongye is a mobile super fortress, carrying enough materials for the entire fleet to consume for half a year and several large-scale operations.
There are also special transport ships and troop carriers, which greatly enhance the overall mobility, and the supply of materials also has a special logistics system.
Angelina always persuades Empress Yongye not to start wars lightly, but she is not an anti-war advocate. When conducting the empire's overall transportation planning, military needs are naturally taken into account, and special channels are reserved to ensure the smooth operation of the whole.
And at this stage, the empire's operations do not need to consider the early propaganda and finding reasons, the later occupation and sweeping up small groups of enemies, only need to completely disintegrate the enemy's resistance forces, and then they can go to the next round of special events.
"It's like a fearless space simulation training!" Rommel, who is also cautious in character, couldn't help but joke with everyone. Empress Yongye sat on the captain's chair, her jade legs crossed, nodding her head greatly.
It really feels like clicking on the next level like crazy, and the enemy's resistance is not strong enough.
Everyone also feels unsatisfied with the war and the enemy's confrontation.
After a few rounds of magic crystal heavy artillery from the flagship, the magic power and belief power accumulated in the enemy's temple were consumed almost, and the city-level defense was crumbling.
The empire does not rely on brute force. The magic brain computer - a magic-modified computer connected to the massive resources of fearless space and with semi-biological characteristics - will calculate in real time to crack the enemy's shield operation principle, process, lock, and track flaws and weaknesses.
The seemingly brainless firepower coverage is an all-round manifestation of the empire's new arcane achievements. It not only crushes the enemy in terms of equipment and materials, but also has absolute advantages in technology and computing power.
After disintegrating the defense, the frigate protects the aircraft carrier and begins to project sky and ground mobile combat units:
The whole series of magic crystal machines, pink rabbit fifth generation and other war machines can run and fly.
Although they will also help with farm work during the busy season, as controllable magic puppets, their real stage is still the battlefield as killing machines.
Other series of melee, artillery, ambush, and intelligence-stealing controllable magic puppets have also been fully verified through the empire's proxy war and are already quite mature.
The mechanical army also has transformed magical creature knights, a special information-based frontier interaction platform, fire weapons dedicated to assault, and a mobile magic energy load ship that provides virtual god's magic energy.
The imperial military is not short of equipment. The major domestic research and development institutions are competing with each other. In order to compete for orders, they bring them more and more useful new weapons every day.
Then there is the unique three-dimensional combat in this universe, which makes the enemy's most elite sacred heavy cavalry regiment despair.
It was agreed that the cavalry would charge against each other, but the opposite side would launch a round of firepower coverage without saying a word, then the air mobile force would harass, and then the cavalry riding giant spiders with rocket launchers on their shoulders would continue to bombard them...
RNM, what's the use of the +12 Holy Punisher in my hand?
Goddess of War, look at the opposite side, there are really Gundams!
Of course, the accumulation of the Church of the God of War in this plane is still quite rich, and various strange artifacts and magic allies have also brought great commotion to the First Fleet.
But no matter how strange the law-based equipment is, the powerful technical power of the Magic Advisory Group can quickly find a way.
In just two days, the Papal Court, which owns a number of countries and claims to have 1.5 billion believers, has only one headquarters left that is still stubbornly resisting.
"If I can't get it, no one else can have it!" The Pope's expression was hideous, and the crystal ball in his hand was vaguely connected to the souls of those believers.
"It seems we've come at just the right time~"
A lazy voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Chapter 239 The End of the Old Era
Pope Louis Pandit is the highest manager of the Church of the God of War in this world and a fanatical believer of Taibeira.
When the Green Vine Empire fleet appeared in the sky, the whole world was shocked and at a loss, but they also launched a defensive response at the first time.
It is a pity that their response did not have any effect. The magic civilization that has been stopped for ten thousand years, relying on the priests given by the gods, coupled with the traditional professional system, has lagged behind the empire and has a technological gap.
After the five-year plan started, the empire itself did not fight a real full-scale war, but as a arms dealer exporting the entire Yongye world, it can figure out the bottom line of traditional magic civilization tactics and strategies.
At this moment, carrying out alien plane operations, there are differences in race, arms, weapons, and combat habits, but in the final analysis, it is still the same thing.
Use more powerful magic power to blast his mother!
Before this quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, the First Fleet can easily resolve it.
Pope Louis has read the records of the church. The Church of the God of War protects the people of this world and has resisted invaders from other planes more than once.
But whether it is hell or the abyss, they have never driven steel machines like this, and the magic energy they master and use is not stronger than them in absolute terms, but the damage effect on their defense methods is particularly prominent and obvious.
In game terms, the absolute magic power cap is not despairing, but the heatstroke penetration effect is as powerful as a nightmare.
In this nightmare, the super power known as the most powerful church in this world, which controls the world order, and can directly interfere with the emperor's enthronement, is extremely embarrassed after the irresistible over-the-horizon strike.
And they have always been the church's final trump card, daring to charge bravely against the powerful demon army. The passionate paladins use pure faith to defeat evil and achieve final victory.
But this time the enemy does not give them a chance to show their edge at all. They first use long-range strikes to beat the Papal Knights into pieces, and there is no complete formation.
For the empire that masters powerful artillery, the magic power used by the enemy for defense has been exhausted. Even if the paladins have considerable magic resistance, what does this resistance have to do with the explosive force we use to change chemical bonds?
The empire has not even used weapons with greater destructive power to change the atomic structure!
Of course, the Papal Knights are still powerful as the final trump card. They withstood the firepower charge, and the tenacious ascetic monks organized the young paladins to launch a desperate charge, and finally arrived at the enemy's position.
Then they saw the soldiers who mastered the virtual god, mixed with the magic crystal mechanical troops, and let them know what it means to be too hard to bite.
The support of the magic consultant is not only in cracking the enemy's defense. For the sacred damage that the War Church is proficient in, the magic crystal machine can flexibly adjust its armor resistance. Finally, what is cut on the pink rabbit composite armor is only the physical strike of the weapon itself.
That is, the two-handed sword, that is, the legendary momentum with a power of more than 20, and the desire to dismantle the steel magic puppet that exceeds ten meters with a sharp weapon also feels despair.
When it is not demons but their more intelligent professional soldiers with more advanced technology who rush out of hell, even the most steadfast paladins feel that their faith is shaking.
Isn't justice bound to defeat evil? Don't we represent justice and protect the world anymore?
Compared to the corruption of the upper echelons of the church, the paladins and ascetic monks are still passionate and are still doing their absolutely just things because of their teachings.
Therefore, after discussing with the empire's staff, they also gave these Papal Knights a fair opportunity:
The soldiers equipped with the virtual god had a one-on-one classical duel with them, giving these knights the honor they deserved.
So in the war that has been forcibly brought into modern skirmishers, with the mixed attack of mechanical troops, there has been a retro slaughter.
But this slaughter is still a bit bullying.
The Imperial First Fleet's Marine Corps were originally the best of the best. The increase in national power has brought about the rapid growth of professionals. Their own professional level is far higher than that of the so-called Papal Knights, the essence of the church.
At the same time, they also have ability cards that can be flexibly adjusted and targeted, and their combat effectiveness has reached a new level.
So a unilateral absolute crushing appeared.
Even a small soldier can flexibly use every bit of magic power, exquisite combat skills, and their cooperation with each other, which not only reflects the strong national power of the empire behind them, but also the embodiment of their accumulated knowledge and experience.
The pride of the empire, the complete victory of melee combat over the Papal Knights reached its peak, and the emotions of frustration and despair spread among the Papal Knights.
They thought that they might as well have died in the previous artillery fire, at least they would not have to face such a uncomfortable scene.
As if the end of the old era and the arrival of the new era, the empire gave them a chance, but they could not grasp it.
After completely losing in the proud field of battle, no small number of paladins chose to commit suicide to fulfill their last loyalty to their faith - they were afraid that if they failed again, they would completely shake and fall.
But more people chose to surrender, and the empire also accepted their choice and did not kill them all.
They are purer than priests, and they will indeed do many things to help and protect ordinary people because of their teachings.
When they cannot access true justice and power, all they can do is their best. The Empire allows them to see with their own eyes and to rethink and reposition their future.
However, Pope Louis sees this scene as the enemy being extremely evil and powerful, to the point where even the proudest paladins cannot resist their bewitchment.
Therefore, to fulfill his faith in the Goddess, Louis took out the ultimate treasure held by the Church—the Sphere of Common Faith, a divine artifact that can connect all believers through faith.
Normally, it is a key step for the Church to collect the faith of believers, but in critical times, it can also be used to inject spiritual toxins into the Sphere of Common Faith, causing permanent damage to the souls of all believers who have contributed faith, turning them all into muddle-headed idiots.
At the same time, the extracted souls will also be transformed into the purest power of faith, allowing Louis to launch a desperate self-destruction.
Although it is uncertain whether it can cause damage to the Empire, it is indeed the limit of what he can do.
At least this way, even if these evil heretics can defeat them, they will not be able to gain a single believer, because fools do not pray.
In the war in the previous plane, the Pope did not use such methods, so he did not expect the believers to be so crazy this time, actually wanting to use the sacrifice of more than a billion believers as a bargaining chip for a self-destruction.
Of course, the self-destruction will not harm the core of the First Fleet. Their advance seems unrestrained, but they have not lost their vigilance and are always wary of these believers using all kinds of outrageous methods.
They have never seen such insidious methods of destroying what they cannot obtain, but the Empire has seen too many believers who do not value their own lives.
However, Pope Louis's plan did not succeed.
Roger, while coaxing Shanna to participate in the Empire's war to shake the foundations of faith in Tyberia, was also curious about how much combat power the painstakingly accumulated mechanical torrent could unleash, so he asked Afu to help send them to the target Plane A to see the scenery of the front line.
As a result, Afu looked bewildered: "There is no front line in that world?"
"Has the war not started yet?"
"No, it's already over!"
Afu looked at Roger with disdain. Is the intelligence of the dignified Dark Night Guard Commander so outdated?
Roger was speechless.
Who would have thought that the Eternal Night Empress and Rommel would be so crazy that they would disintegrate the mainstream church of a plane in less than a week?
That's not just dozens of times more than a certain Gaul, how could they not even last three days?
Fortunately, once the Empire's war machine is activated, it will not easily stop. He directly came to the target Plane B with Shanna.
Appreciating the steel torrent of another world as a special observer is indeed a pleasing sight.
