MTL - Start a Core Pod-Chapter 566 Meet
Chapter 566 Meeting
Using the blood moon to delay the Reaper's plan, succeeded to a certain extent.
The reason why it is a certain degree is also very simple.
That is...the number of the Reaper fleet is too much.
Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that this might stop the Reapers, but the result was that the Reapers' fleet hardly reacted to it. They just added a few more warships to deal with the Blood Moon—after all, there were too many warships. Just go straight to A.
This is annoying.
Moreover, Duanmu Huai also discovered the flaw of Blood Moon.
To put it simply, Blood Moon, as the ultimate aggregate, does possess considerable combat effectiveness. However, this combat power is also limited.
After all, the ultimate form of the blood moon is only as big as an asteroid. Of course, according to this defense, ordinary warships cannot kill them.
The reason is also very simple, lack of firepower.
Then on the other hand, if the firepower is sufficient, the blood moon is a living target.
That was the case against the Reapers.
The Reapers have stronger firepower than the fleet here. Although one or two ships will not have much impact on the Blood Moon, if they don't talk about martial arts and come to a salvo of hundreds or thousands of ships, the Blood Moon will be destroyed. What a mess. After all, blood moons do not have the ability to attack from a distance, they can only shake their tentacles like jellyfish to attack the enemy, so as long as the warship is outside the attack range of the blood moon and fly a kite, and if the firepower is strong enough, the blood moon can be killed without injury. The month is not a problem either.
Of course, if it is a creature, it will suffer a round of mental attack in the face of the blood moon, but the harvesters are all fusion bodies... Just like the dolls under Duanmuhuai, mental attacks have no effect on them at all.
But Duanmuhuai's original goal was achieved.
I also said before that the Reapers harvesting civilized races does not simply destroy them, but collects them, transforms and fuses them to increase the number on their side. It can be said that the warships of the Reapers are all made from the corpses of the civilizations they harvested—the same essence as the blood moon.
That's right, Duanmu Huai created the blood moon to grab the business of the Reapers, and it turns out that this is indeed a very useful method.
Reapers want to transform their prey, either by capturing them first and then transforming them, or by piercing the corpses on metal pillars to become corpse puppets.
In general, some relatively scientific methods are used.
However, the transformation of necromorphs is not scientific, and the transformation speed is faster than the T virus, so if the Reapers want to compete with the blood moon, they will not be able to do so. Even if the last reaper destroys the blood moon, the necromorphs inside will also be destroyed along with it, naturally nothing will be left behind. In this way, the reaper would not be able to replenish the source of troops on the spot.
Because of this, once the blood moon appeared, the reaper would immediately concentrate on attacking it, and this gave Duanmu Huai a chance to kill them together.
At this time, it is time for the giant ship Wan Yi to appear.
I have to say that the Wanyi giant ship built by the Cabals is a good idea, apart from anything else. Destroying entire galaxies by detonating stars is much more convenient than exploding planets one by one. Of course, and because of this, Duanmu Huai generally wouldn't use the Wanyi giant ship casually—after all, it can't be detonated in the human galaxy.
But it’s different now. Whether it’s Asari or Turian, or Salari or any other alien race, in the final analysis, they are all alien aliens, not human beings. Therefore, for Duanmuhuai, it can be said that there is no pressure to catch them all. In addition, the attack power of the blood moon is not strong, and the defense power is not low, so every time the blood moon appears, the reaper will send thousands of warships to deal with it, and what Duanmuhuai has to do is to blow up the **** monsters before the reaper. A month later, summon the Wanyi giant ship to explode the stars of that galaxy.
In this way, all the fish that slipped through the net can be caught in one go.
After Duanmu Huai turned all the galaxies of the Citadel races, the Reaper's fleet also suffered heavy losses, and those alien alien races were on the verge of extinction. After all, even if some of them were lucky enough to escape the massacre of the Blood Moon and the Reapers, they definitely couldn't escape the collapse of the entire galaxy caused by the explosion of stars.
Of course, thanks to this, the future star maps will probably be redrawn... Well, this has nothing to do with Duanmuhuai.
Let the astronomers of the Star Federation have a headache.
Anyway, it wasn't my own hair that fell out.
In other words, he has no hair to fall out.
Hahahahaha, what kind of joke is this?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha...... MMP.
Forget it, anyway, after this series of actions, the number of the Reapers' fleet has also been reduced by one-third. Although the remaining number is even more troublesome, at least in this way, it can at least be handled of the number.
I guess so.
Then the next step... is almost a head-on battle between humans and the Reapers.
The brilliance flashed in front of my eyes.
Walking out of the portal, Mary gasped involuntarily as she looked at the magnificent starry sky outside the window. Although it was not the first time for her to come to the mothership of the Tribunal, every time she saw this scene, Mary was fascinated. To be honest, if it wasn't for the sake of secrecy, she really wanted to take Xia Li and Aselika to take a look.
But... it seems a bit lively here today? ?
Looking at the corridors around, although it was as quiet as ever, there seemed to be noise coming from the playroom not far away, which made Mary a little curious. So she walked to the playroom involuntarily, then reached out and knocked on the door, and then Lorena's voice sounded.
"Ah, please come in."
"Sorry to interrupt."
While talking, Mary opened the door and walked into the room.
Then, she saw Lorena and... a few strange girls.
At the moment they are sitting on the couch, holding teacups, and they look like they are chatting. Lorena was also sitting inside, and next to her was Augis, who was wearing a black Gothic dress and had long silver-white hair. Duanmu Huai had introduced her to Mary, saying that she was his very important companion.
On the opposite side of these two people is a girl with long brown hair who looks full of vitality. Beside the girl with brown hair is a girl with short hair. They are wearing the same uniform, which looks like a school It's just that the girl with short red hair has a pair of strange wings on her back-look carefully, there are horns on her head, and a fat and long tail under the skirt?
On the other side, a girl with long light blue hair, horns and a tail was lying on the blanket bored, staring at the computer in front of her, not knowing what she was doing.
Fortunately, Mary has been with Duanmuhuai for a long time, and has met many strange people, so she is not particularly surprised.
"Ah, Miss Mary!"
Seeing Mary coming in, Lorena waved her hand happily, letting Mary come to her side, then she looked at the others and spoke.
"This is Miss Mary Clarissa Christie."
"Ah, it's a local resident of that world, right?"
"That's right, right..."
After introducing Mary to everyone, Lorena introduced Mary again.
"Miss Mary, this is the princess of Manaria—Ann, next to her is the princess of Regnese, Miss Guleya...you can see Miss Gulea's tail and wings, but she is actually a dragon A hybrid with humans is a dragon race. Ah, by the way, Miss Feilin over there is also a member of the dragon race."
"Why?"
After listening to Lorena's introduction, Mary was taken aback. It wasn't because of the dragon man, but...
"your Highness?"
This really scared Mary. She is just a middle-class lady, and she never said that she has any qualifications to meet Her Royal Highness. And now these two are actually all Princesses?
"Hi, Miss Mary, I'm Ann."
Facing the surprised Mary, Ann waved her hand with a smile, and Guleya nodded slightly to her.
"I'm Guleiya, hello."
"Good."
On the other side, Feilin, who was lying on her stomach looking at the computer, waved her hand feebly, as a greeting.
"Ah, yes, um, it's an honor to meet you..."
At this moment, Mary's whole body is stiff, and her mind is even blank. How should I put it, it's like going to a friend's place as a guest, but accidentally encountering a big person like the president of a country, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Don't be so cautious. I heard from Lorena that you also joined the Tribunal, right? Then we are companions. You don't have to talk so restrainedly, but it makes people not used to it."
"Ah, yes..."
Nodding her head, Mary sat down cautiously. At this moment, the maid also brought a cup of black tea. And as if to dispel Mary's anxiety, Lorena also took the initiative to chat with her.
"Speaking of which, it's rare to see Miss Mary coming here, what's the matter?"
"Ah, yes."
Hearing Lorena's inquiry, Mary also recovered and took the paper bag at hand.
"Actually, my first novel has been published..."
"Huh? So fast!"
Yes, this is why Mary came here. The first novel she wrote was based on the old man who turned into a zombie by the lake before. She voted for several publishing houses, and finally one publishing house was willing to publish it. Because of the short story, the first book will add drawings. A total of 1,000 copies were printed... Well, of course, the number is not many, but for Mary, this is a small start.
"Miss Lorena want to see it?"
"Yeah, I want to see!"
Lorena excitedly took the book handed over by Mary, and carefully flipped through it.
"Wow, there are illustrations in it?"
"Well, because the number of words is not much, the publishing house thinks that adding some illustrations will make it easier to sell... Frankly speaking, because of this reason, the price of the book is not very cheap. Most people read it, but the publishing house said that the price was set because of it. When people get this book, they will wonder why this book is priced at this price, which will make them want to read it. interest, and as long as there is interest, I will buy it... although I don't quite understand it."
"I see."
Hearing this, An Shen nodded approvingly.
"Indeed, the publisher's strategy is correct. Blindly lowering the price is just depreciating your own value. If someone sells it at a price that you don't feel sorry for, you can indeed sell it. But the other party may not read it. Conversely, at least this price can guarantee that those who buy it will read it carefully..."
"is that so?"
"Almost, what is written in it, is what Lorena said before, is it the story of your adventures in that world?"
"Ah, um... But some places may be a bit exaggerated, I'm worried that Mr. Duanmu will be angry..."
Even if the publishing house wants to publish, it is impossible not to change the manuscript. For the publishing house, Mary’s novel has a good grasp of the atmosphere and story rhythm, and only the characterization needs to be changed.
That's right, there is only one person who needs to change, and that is Duanmu Huai.
In this story, Mary herself appears as the second assistant, Lorena is the first assistant, and Duanmuhuai is the boss. It's just that at the end of the original story, Mary wanted Duanmuhuai to lean in the direction of Sherlock Holmes. Simply put, she wanted readers to see Duanmuhuai as brave and resourceful.
However, the editor thinks that this is a bit out of line. Since this person has been portrayed as a fierce and terrifying person before, then it is better to portray his actions even more fierce and terrifying at the end-after all, the readers saw him at the beginning. When describing his appearance, he has already guessed that he is a fierce and terrifying person, so how fierce is he? The editor thinks it can be bolder at the end of the story... to make readers feel unexpectedly fierce...
So Mary had to bite the bullet and change.
But she was not sure whether Duanmuhuai would like this ending, so she showed it to Duanmuhuai after it was published.
Although Mary is nervous, but......
"No problem at all."
After reading the ending, Lorena gave her own answer.
"Huh? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I feel a little restrained compared to the usual knight-sama."
“………”
Is that still called convergence? Mary felt that she was about to write Duanmu Huai as some kind of beast, okay?
"Huh? I want to watch it too!"
"Ah, please..."
At this time, Ann, who couldn't wait, came over, took the book, and leaned side by side with Guleya, flipping through it with a clatter.
After reading it, their thoughts are...
"Huh? Mr. Duanmu is not so gentle."
"No problem, after all, Mr. Duanmu usually fights... more fierce than this..."
"…………Why???"
Hearing this, Mary was stunned.
