Xiaoxue was replaced by Miss Lin at nearly nine o'clock in the evening, and when she appeared in front of us, she was really aggrieved and wronged, and as soon as she showed up, she hung on my arm and howled: "Dad, you take care of your wife!" ”

She was so quiet that the whole living room was silent: including the little crow that was biting on the sofa cushions. I patted Xiaoxue's head: "Your mother hasn't passed the door yet—how have you felt for the past half a day?" ”

Xiaoxue threw herself on the sofa, and suddenly the stupid bird sitting next to her was bounced to the ground: "I never went to my grandfather's house again before I was born, my God, I really haven't seen such a good person - do you know how many heads of state my grandfather had cordial conversations with before he was twenty-five years old?" Luckily, Kennedy died early, or I must have been ......beaten by my grandfather in the café."

For us who have just learned about Daddy Lin's strange habits from Miss Lin's mouth, what Xiaoxue is talking about is not unusual at all, I picked up the little crow from the ground and patted the soil, and said: "I was talking to Lin Xue about this just now, don't say it, what your grandfather said is probably really four or five percent credible - but don't forget that the Lin family has a big business, well, at least on the earth." ”

Early the next morning, I went to Shadow City with Sandora, and although there were no specific matters that the two of us needed to inquire about in person for the time being, there was one thing to be sure - how was Bella Vera. Her free time was twenty-four hours at a time, which meant that she was awake until half past six this evening. Sandora and I are going to talk to her about building a legion of spellcasters. But before I reached the military blockade line, I saw a scene that I couldn't calm down no matter what:

Near the Shadow Fortress's gate to the military buffer zone, a wild maiden was lying bored on the parapet, the upper half of which was a beautiful woman in a cool vest, and the lower half of her body was a hideous mechanical scorpion, and the scorpion's back armor could be seen with a bright red number one...... Well, that's Vega, but it's unusually inconsistent. This is a listless, muttering Vega.

You must know that Wei Jia usually gives the impression that she is definitely full of energy at any time, she is always full of confidence, maintaining the full energy needed to carry out the task, and because of the simple head of the armored scorpion that I don't know if Lu Dao is real or false (raven unanimously evaluated), Wei Jia is still a bit of a straight-hearted optimist. I've never seen her feel bad – even if she couldn't drink concentrated helium-3 for three days.

But now, this scorpion sister, who has never been unhappy, is lying on the parapet outside the base like a frosted eggplant. Even the tail hung limply on the ground. Round and round on the ground.

What even made Sandora and I think we were hallucinating was that when we got closer, we saw Vega holding a rose in her hand that she had gotten out of nowhere, and she was tearing the petals down one by one, muttering something...... And at her feet, there were already almost two square meters of rose petals.

"What is this bridge full of immediacy...... Could it be that this guy has finally ushered in spring...... Confessed by some large male arthropod? I muttered dumbfounded, and pulled Sandora to run over as fast as I could. Vega! Are you resting today? ”

"She won, and I hallucinated. She won, and I hallucinated. ...... she wins" Sister Scorpion was still muttering to herself, and after hearing my scream, she suddenly came back to her senses as if she was frightened, and the six mechanical sharp feet made a sharp sound on the alloy ground, and in a metal collision sound, she "snapped" to me and Sandora, and said nervously, "Long...... Sir! I'm very sorry, but my subordinates were not concentrating just now! Willing to accept the ......"...,

"Okay, okay, it's non-mission time, don't be so nervous," I craned my neck and waved to Vega, it was really a very psychologically stressful thing to talk face-to-face with this scorpion sister who stood up more than two meters tall, "I said, what's wrong with you?" ”

As I spoke, I swept my eyes over a large field of rose petals on the ground, and the bare branches scattered around, and between these things there was a small white card with four words written in Juan Xiu's handwriting: Gemini Flower Shop. {}

"Oh, you're going to help the poor?" I raised my eyebrows and said subconsciously, but as soon as I finished speaking, Sandora quietly kicked herself from behind—well, I'll admit, it's not polite to say that......

"This ...... This is just a whim, I heard that it can relieve psychological pressure," Wei Jia explained with an unprecedentedly shy attitude, "I encountered a little trouble yesterday, and my subordinates felt that it was best to try to overhaul it themselves before going back to the factory for repairs......

"Overhaul?" Sandora smiled dumbly and pointed to the flower branch in Vega's hand, "Use this?" What happened to you? ”

Shandora personally opened her mouth to ask, and Vega had to speak honestly, with a frustrated look on her face: "Last night, my subordinates patrolled near the B-3 gate in the Eastern District, and the time was eleven :26, and the military zone has been completely blocked......"

Sandora and I had a vague premonition at the same time.

Then I saw Raven 001's undisciplined guy coming from the civic area, not only did she exceed the time for the Raven troops to return to the team, but she also had a lot of mess hanging on her body, and to make matters worse, she whistled at the surrounding houses and threw ball lightning everywhere...... The subordinates stopped her and ...... There are some habitual conflicts. ”

Vega's "habitual conflict" is not new to us, it is a daily phenomenon that occurs between all ravens and armored scorpions, usually starting with mutual sarcasm, and evolving into a less intense fight, which is a rare moment of relaxation in the more dull imperial team, but looking at Vega's current performance, last night's habitual conflict hurt her self-esteem.

"I was beaten in an instant...... Vega cried and turned around and put her tail out in front of me, on the energy cannon deck at the tip of her tail. A line of small words was burned with arcane power: Firstblood!

"Then the subordinates rose up and fought bravely, and that's it......" Vega said, turning around again, pointing to us the attached deck on the other side of the lower limb, and there was a line of small words near the mechanical arthropod: Doublekill!

Sandora and I looked at the dejected Vega with great sympathy, and said in our hearts that this scorpion girl's view of the world was subverted......

"For what?" Vega sighed, as if her life had gone grey, and then continued to destroy the last rose in her hand. "She won, I hallucinated, she won, I hallucinated, she won......"

Well, this time I finally know what Vega was talking about.

It's no wonder that Sister Scorpion is so devastated, because what happened is indeed a bit beyond her comprehension. Although the armored scorpion and raven are similar in terms of combat effectiveness. But in fact, in all kinds of fights on weekdays, ravens are basically the inferior. This is because it is impossible for both sides to really fight seriously. At best, it can only provoke on a small scale, and near its own base, no one can make a big move - so the ravens who are good at long-range combat and large-scale attacks are directly abolished, and the armored scorpions are best at fighting in small-scale and highly complex environments...... So although most of the time it is the ravens who take the initiative to provoke the dumb-headed armored scorpions. But the result is basically that the former was knocked out by the latter. …,

And in a "confrontation" last night, Vega was killed twice by Raven 001......

It stands to reason that Bellavera occupies Raven 001's body. The latter is also limited by the strength of his body and cannot exert the strength of the former, but as an Emperor Xiling. To bully a high-level commander-level scorpion soldier, you don't need to exert much strength at all, Bella Vera has taken out two or three achievements from the amazing combat experience she has accumulated over tens of millions of years, and I am 100% sure that an important reason for her teasing Vega is that she is affected by the soul of Raven 001 in her body, and the latter's resentment towards Sister Scorpion is extremely deep.

"What, Vega, don't be disappointed, it's actually like this......" I glanced at Sandora, and decided to tell Sister Scorpion the truth, otherwise the other party's awkward tendon might not be entangled in when, and after hearing the truth of the matter, Vega's face suddenly turned cloudy: "Ah, I see, no wonder that slippery guy is suddenly so powerful." That...... Sir, will Bellavira always occupy Raven 001's body in the future? ”

Although there are always contradictions, Vega and Raven 001 are a pair of other friends in my eyes, belonging to the type of meeting and fighting without meeting and missing, if one of them can't appear in front of him half the time from now on, then the other party will be more or less lost. However, I quickly dispelled Vega's concerns: "Don't worry, Bella Vera will change her borrowed body every time, and there are so many ravens in mass production, maybe when it will be 001's turn next time." You two can continue to love and kill each other - by the way, to give you a hint, Bella Villa's time to be unpossessed is half past six tonight......"

Wei Jia nodded happily and gave a military salute: "Yes, my subordinates understand!" Me: "......"

What do I say, this guy understands? Why do you suddenly feel like you have accidentally cheated that unlucky raven?

We said goodbye to Sister Scorpion, who was suddenly full of energy and was about to go to the repair center to repolish her carapace, and found Bella Vera according to the guidance of the Psychic Connection, and instead of staying in Sylvia's shop, she stayed with her production clones in front of the Raven Hatchery (the production center for ravens that we have always nicknamed "Raven", so this production center is simply called the hatchery, and now, this has even become the official name of the place).

The Raven Hatchery is a structure composed of three large rectangular buildings, between which there are large areas of bright and luxuriant crystals due to the long-term effects of arcane agitation and other radiation, so the large open space in front of this building is also called the Crystal Square, which is usually a place for ravens to gather and rest, and when Sandora and I arrived, it was already a gathering of all the ravens who had no task. Lined up in a phalanx, they were listening to Bellavila's lectures.

“…… So, I'm going to be forming a Spellcaster Legion in the near future, but due to the lack of manpower and the fact that you're not busy enough, I've decided to send some of them to the Caster Legion as temporary commanders, so you'll soon have a chance to bring in new recruits with a bang. Now start the caucuses and keep quiet – forget it. The third to fifth rows are all out of the ranks, and you have to go, and there is no choice anyway...... Others disbanded. ”

So sixty percent of the ravens dispersed and went on doing what they had to do.

I watched my jaw drop from behind me and couldn't help but shout, "Hey! Is that okay?! That's how you choose people? ”

Bella Vera waved his hand without looking back: "What's not to do, all ravens are copied from a mold, except for a few reinforced commanders. Everything else is the same - huh, you're both here as a couple? ”…,

Judging by the habit of speaking. She is still a cross between Raven 001 and Bella Vera. And I've always felt that Raven 001's personality has the upper hand - is it because Bella Vera is dominant in terms of will and memory, so as a balance, Raven 001 is dominant in terms of personality?

"Raven doesn't seem to be fit to be a commander, does he?" Sandora looked at the group of magical girls flying around the Crystal Square, the latter being the most lively and least like the Imperial soldiers of all the arms of the Empire, and wondered if it was because their maternal souls had mutated, or if all the ravens in the Old Empire were like this. Anyway, in Sandora's opinion, such a character is very unsuitable for leading the construction of the legion.

"There's a little bit of confidence in these kids." Bella Vera said confidently, "They look a little big. In fact, it is very careful and careful, and it is impossible to control the huge amount of arcane energy without those two points. And more importantly—" Bella Vera said, gesturing to her head, "each raven holds a portion of my experience, which I inherited directly from my soul that cannot be fed into the memory core through the battle data importer on the production line. The 'Xinxiang' produced the most rigid recruits, relying only on the battle instructions recorded in the database, and without experienced veterans to lead the way, they would die on the battlefield in pieces. ”

"Veterans are precious," Sandora sighed sympathetically, "The three hundred surviving commanders of the Alaya Legion and the few remaining soldiers under them have all been incorporated into the Reserve Legion, but there are still not enough manpower - I didn't expect you to solve it here, how come I don't know that those ravens still inherit your combat experience?" They usually don't show it at all, and after they go to the battlefield one by one, they just know that they are like rookies and throw all the spells in one go, and throw them until the energy is exhausted and then be carried down......"

"Ah, yes, that's my combat experience," Bella Vera nodded rightly, "What are you looking at?" This makes sense - Raven is a long-range battery and has extremely weak survivability, so the best tactic on a large battlefield is to bomb as many enemies as possible while you are still alive - of course, in skirmishes, Raven will use a very elegant way of fighting, after all, we and those scorpion soldiers are going two routes......"

So, as the king of ravens, Bellavila really didn't deal with the scorpion soldiers?

"Speaking of which, when exactly will the soldier I want show up?" Bella Vera had just made a few points about her general idea of the Spellcaster Legion, when she suddenly remembered something else, "You said I was asked to help build a new army, but I'm now the Commander of the Light Pole, right?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that," Sandora smiled, "According to the good news from Aurelia yesterday, the City of Angels is fully operational, and your first recruits are likely to be the Angel Army. ”

Bella Vera's eyes lit up: "This is good news - the Angel of Hiling has an appetite for me, well, an elegant spellcaster who can sprinkle energy storms around the world like ravens...... How big is that City of Angels? What is the one-time load of the Wall of Angels? ”

Bella Vera asked quite a professional question, it seems that after the conceptual rift was lifted, her memory of these events has also been restored, as a professional on the mysterious side, she probably also knows a lot about the secret art knowledge of the Fifteen Days Zone.

"I'll pass on the information about the City of Angels to you," said Sandora, "Well, the first batch of about two thousand newborn cores is slowly maturing on the East Angel Wall, and in about three days, these cores will be able to reach the point of being sent to hatch, and in a week, we will have a batch of newborn angels into the army." That is, the City of Angels can produce two thousand soldiers in one production cycle. A cycle time is seven days – a relatively fast production center. ”

When I heard this, I suddenly felt a little strange: "Produce 2,000 soldiers in seven days - is this still relatively fast?" ”

This has to do with the productivity of the technology side...... It's completely incomparable! Didn't you say that the Empire had always taken the route of the Rioters?

I also remember the production speed of the barracks on the technology side, there are six production groups in the hexagonal prismatic building, and each production group includes two production lines, that is, there are twelve production lines in each barracks, and each production cycle will produce twelve elite soldiers. Normally, a fully operational barracks completes a production cycle every thirty minutes, and according to a complex of the size of the City of Angels, it must correspond to at least ten large arsenals, right? The latter can storm 120 heavily armed soldiers every half an hour, and in two days can create a horrible thing for a legion of tens of thousands of people - it's not a war puppet! It's an Imperial GI who is more powerful and can be promoted to commander!

So that's how it converts...... The terrifying thugs on the technology side seem to have directly suppressed the production speed on the mysterious side......
