Chapter 20: An Extraordinary Prelude

Just as Joshua's avatar was thinking in the lord's mansion.

At the edge of the World Galaxy, near the Vanguard Fortress Community, a giant mothership as huge as a mountain range and with a total length of more than nine thousand meters was rushing through the void between worlds and worlds, rushing out of the vortex space-time gate, as if it was hiding from some terrifying existence chasing after it.

The surface of the giant mothership was tattered and blackened, and it was covered with marks of heavy artillery fire, but even so, it was faintly visible that its original livery was bright gold, and that it was emblazoned with a sharp triangular flag, the flag of the Chartres army.

The giant battleship resembled a giant spinning cone, smooth and flat throughout, with almost no bulges, but at its edge, dozens of energy crystals that shimmered with cyan light shimmered.

But now, the energy crystals on this mothership have begun to extinguish one by one, it is obvious that the 'ultra-long-distance teleportation' carried out by the mothership just now has exhausted its energy reserves, if it has no other way to replenish its energy, then the space-time storm in the void will quickly tear apart the mothership that has lost its barrier, and this huge civilization creation will become a luxurious coffin for all the crew.

In this desperate moment, the controller of this mothership still has no intention of giving up, it uses the last energy of the mothership to send a distress signal to the surrounding space-time realm, and broadcasts wide-area to find possible helpers, even if the other party does not have the power to rescue them, it doesn't matter, but the most critical information must be sent.

They firmly believe that there must be an existence in this vicinity that can help them - because the mothership's ultra-long-distance teleportation is located in the surrounding space-time realm, the area with the highest energy density, but also the most stable space-time realm, this kind of sign generally means that there must be a powerful void civilization around it.

They anxiously and urgently waited for the reply to the distress signal, and their mood fell into despair and unwillingness little by little.

But eventually, the signal was replied.

The lights had turned dark red from the mothership control center, and suppressed but extremely excited cheers and shouts could be heard.

And inside the Vanguard Fortress community.

It happened to be here that Nostradamus, who was preparing to detect the situation of the galaxies in other worlds of the distant multiverse through the super-large composite detection array, was at the core of the fortress at this time, checking the progress of the installation of the observation circle and the summary of data.

The old mage is fine-tuning the data of the observation circle, smoothing out the surrounding space-time turbulence, and facilitating the observation later, he has been busy for a long time, but the results are about to come out - a large area of space-time turbulence around the observation circle has been calmed, and the super giant observation circle that is huge enough to cover the sky of a world is slowly unfolding.

But suddenly, an abnormal teleportation fluctuation disturbed the space-time turbulence that had been leveled down, and the observation was in vain.

“……”

Nostradamus, who squinted his eyes, heard a light sigh from an observer on the side, and then immediately issued a second-level alarm, reporting: "Abnormal space-time fluctuations have been detected, as well as unknown civilization signals - according to the energy fluctuation feedback, a large Void Battleship has teleported to the vicinity of our warning area!" ”

"They seem to be broadcasting all directions to the surrounding space-time realm, and they have interfered with our data collection, and this matter must be ......reported to the higher-ups," the observer seemed to think of something, and he looked back to see that Nostradamus had slowly walked behind him.

"Turn it on." The old mage said expressionlessly, "Let's see what it wants to say, and if we can make them stop and not disturb our observations." ”

"Yes."

The observer immediately connected to the other party's contact channel, he rolled his eyes, recalled what he had learned before, and then said in a very businesslike tone: "This is the United Fortress of McCrof, the 'Vanguard' Fortress Group. Friends from other worlds who are broadcasting in a wide area, please turn off the all-channel broadcast, change the way of sending information, do not disturb others, civilize the atmosphere of communication, and standardize the message channel, everyone is responsible......"

In accordance with the 'Statutes of Otherworldly Biological Exchange', the observer conducted a very regular communication - roughly speaking, it means that the other party turned off the free microphone - and after receiving the information from the Vanguard Fortress, the other party was silent for a long time, and then actually broke out into a burst of cheers and shouts that moved today, mixed with many otherworldly languages that they didn't understand at all.

"What are they talking about?"

On the side, the other observers asked the others blankly, and the others also shook their heads - in the world of Mycrof, there are few people who can use demon language, and elven language, because of the popularity of the lingua franca, even dwarves and goblins don't speak dwarven and goblin languages anymore. In the case of linguistic unity, it is true that there are very few talents in Microft's world linguistics.

However, before the observers and Nostradamus were thinking about how to guess what the other party was saying, and how to make the other party understand what they were saying, suddenly, the communication channel that was originally full of other languages suddenly fell silent, and before everyone could wonder if they had dropped the line, a voice, stammering, very old, and not standard pronunciation, and even very clumsy and very clumsy McCroft World Language, spoke to the Vanguard Fortress side.

"Here it is, the 'Chartres Star God' (hereinafter referred to as the Chartresses) Second Fleet flagship, the 'Far Away', the great, respectable, incomparably prosperous Microf civilization, the captain of the Far Away, Selma sends your heartfelt wishes and greetings...... Dear Mighty Ones, our warship has been unable to move due to a terrible accident, and now that the battleship has run out of energy and its vital circulation system is on the verge of coming to an end, I sincerely ask for your mercy and assistance. ”

Although even an eight-year-old child can speak more smoothly than the other party, the sudden hearing of a civilization from another world actually using the language he uses is a shock to everyone.

And after hearing these sycophants and flattering words piled together, grammatically completely bullshit signals for help, Nostradamus, who was originally a little angry because the other party interrupted the detection experiment, was a little angry and laughed, after all, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, naturally he couldn't lose any temper, he saw the observer who was communicating turned his head to look at himself, and then instructed in a low voice: "Ask where the coordinates of their battleship are, how big they are, and how many people there are." ”

"A channel of communication between the Otherworldly Void civilization seems to know us very well, and even knows our language, they are very valuable,"

And at this time, in the Far Away. Because the Vanguard Fortress side did not reply for a long time, the atmosphere inside the ship became panicked again.

"Captain, do you really know the lingua franca of McCrof?" A high-ranking officer couldn't help but whisper, "This thing has been eating dirt in the library for thousands of years, do they understand what you say?" ”

"My family was the former chief diplomat of the Chartres Empire thousands of years ago, and I have the language inheritance of twenty-one otherworldly civilizations in my blood!" The captain named Selma retorted with a low roar: "I'm using the oldest language format for the Mycrof civilization - they like to hear that, those arrogant guys usually don't care about any civilization, but as long as they use this language format to ask for help, no matter what, they will reluctantly make a move, or at least make a gesture!" ”

And soon, a reply from the Vanguard Fortress appeared in the channel of the battleship Far Away.

Countless Chartretes who knew they were about to be saved wept with joy, hugged each other, and even tangled their tails.

A few seconds later, a clearly visible ripple of time and space appeared out of thin air in front of the flagship Yuanyuan.

It was a space-time rift that was hundreds of meters long and was still growing and expanding, and between breaths, this space-time rift turned into a giant space-time gate that was large enough to span a city and be thousands of meters long.

Circles of incomparably complex magic runes expanded rapidly, and then formed a complex and magnificent rune flower, and the process of the petals unfolding was the process of the gradual expansion of the space-time gate.

"When, space-time gate?!"

"So fast, so big?!"

"Our teleportation is ...... compared to this plane-gate"

And just when the Chartres were shocked by the technology and power represented behind the rapidly opening space-time gate, in the huge space-time gate with a radius of five thousand meters, which was enough to completely accommodate the entire Chartres mothership, an old man's figure that was relatively extremely small, but with an incomparably huge sense of existence, appeared in the center of the complex magic circle.

Dozens of minutes later.

Nostradamus, who rescued a group of embarrassed Chartresses from the half-destroyed warship, received news that shocked him immensely.

"Chartresses...... Caught in a civil war? ”

He sat on opposite sides of the reception table with Thelma, the captain of the Far Away, and the old mage stroked his black beard, secretly thinking about the meaning behind this news: "Speaking of which, the world of McCrove has not been very peaceful recently, but no matter how peaceful it is, it is better than this group of guys who have broken out in a full-scale civil war. ”

The Chartres are a race that resembles the usual sense of 'bestial man', specifically, it looks a bit like an upright walking feline (not a cat lady), and in the records of the Great Database, the Chartres are known for their sensitivity, irritability and arrogance, but this race also has advantages, in common terms, it is particularly 'evil'. As long as the Chartres have suffered a loss once, they will remember it in their hearts, they are born with a power to engrave the memory in the blood, the stronger the Chartres who engrave the memory, the longer the memory will be inherited, so no matter what the Chartres are, they can clearly remember where their ancestors suffered losses, and then never fall in the same place for the second time.

They regard 'sacrifice' as the core of culture, and the 'sacrifice' of their ancestors as a noble inheritance, so the original Glorious Age did not have a bad impression of this civilization, thinking that they had 'glory potential', which was in line with the core values of the McCrove civilization at that time - especially the diplomatic chief of the Scharts was very good at the art of language, and was very good in the impression of the glorious civilization, so the treatment was not the same as that of the ordinary civilization, and it could even be listed separately in the unified large database, especially recorded.

All in all, it should be considered a friend, or at least a verbal friend.

According to the captain, the two major factions of the Chartres have been greatly divided because of the recent meeting, one side is cautious and wants to conservatively observe the situation around them, so as to determine the time for a comeback, and on the other hand, they want to restore the territory of the Chartres as quickly as possible from thousands of years ago and relieve the pressure of the population that is now about to explode.

But for some reason, this time the content of what should have been a top-secret memory was exposed to the public by a mysterious person, and suddenly, tens of billions of Chartresses were shocked by it, and then went crazy - people who have not experienced the current situation of their world will never know what kind of dark and desperate life they live, but those who have not experienced their history will never be able to understand their fear of the chaos of the outside world, especially when everyone knows, recently discovered by the Chartres Void Observatory, When there were signs of a super-large-scale chaotic resurgence in the surrounding space-time realm, the entire world was torn apart into two factions.
