Chapter 567 Meeting
The plan to use the blood moon to delay the Reapers was successful to a certain extent.
The reason why it is to a certain extent is also very simple.
That is...the number of Reaper fleets is simply too great.
Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that this might be able to stop the Reapers, but it turned out that the Reapers' fleet barely reacted to it, and only added a few more warships to deal with the Blood Moon - after all, there were too many warships. , just go up to A.
This is very annoying.
Moreover, Duanmuhuai also discovered the flaws of Blood Moon.
To put it simply, Blood Moon, as the ultimate aggregate, does possess a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. However, this combat power also has limits.
After all, the Blood Moon's ultimate form is only as big as an asteroid. Of course, based on this defense, ordinary warships cannot kill them.
The reason is also very simple, insufficient firepower.
On the other hand, if the firepower is sufficient, Blood Moon will be a living target.
That was it against the Reapers.
The Reapers have stronger firepower than the fleet here. Although one or two ships will not have any impact on the Blood Moon, if they don't show martial ethics and launch a salvo of hundreds or thousands of ships, the Blood Moon will be It's really fucked up. After all, blood moons do not have the ability to attack from a distance. They can only swing their tentacles like jellyfish to attack the enemy. Therefore, as long as the warship flies a kite outside the attack range of the blood moon, and if the firepower is strong enough, it can kill the blood moon without any damage. The month is not a problem either.
Of course, if they are living creatures, they will have to suffer a round of mental attacks when facing the blood moon. However, the reapers are all fusions... just like Duanmu Huai's puppets, mental attacks are completely ineffective against them.
But Duanmuhuai's original goal was achieved.
As mentioned before, when reapers harvest civilized races, they do not simply eliminate them. Instead, they collect them and then transform and fuse them to increase their own numbers. It can be said that the battleships of the Reapers are all made from the corpses of the racial civilizations they harvested - the same essence as the Blood Moon.
That's right, Duanmu Huai created the blood moon just to steal the reaper's business, and facts have proven that this is indeed a very useful method.
Reapers who want to transform their prey must either capture them and transform them, or impale their corpses on metal pillars to turn them into corpse puppets.
Generally speaking, some relatively scientific methods are used.
However, the transformation of Necromorphs is not scientific, and the transformation speed is faster than the T-Virus. Therefore, if the Reapers want to compete with Blood Moon, they will not be able to do so. Even if the Reapers destroy the Blood Moon in the end, the Necromorphs inside will be destroyed along with it, so naturally nothing will be left behind. In this way, the Reapers will not be able to replenish their troops on the spot.
Because of this, once the blood moon appears, the reapers will immediately concentrate their efforts to attack it, and this gives Duanmu Huai the opportunity to kill them all together.
At this time, it's time for the Wanyi giant ship to appear.
I have to say that the Wanyi giant ship built by the Kabal people is a very good idea, if nothing 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 would not use the Wanyi giant ship casually - after all, it cannot be detonated in the human galaxy.
But it's different now. Whether it's Asari, Turian, Salarian or any other alien race, in the final analysis, they are all aliens and not humans. Therefore, it can be said that there is no pressure for Duanmuhuai to catch them all. In addition, the blood moon's attack power is not strong and its defense power is not low, so every time the blood moon appears, the reapers have to send thousands of warships to deal with it, and what Duanmu Huai has to do is to destroy the blood in the reapers. After a month, summon the Wan Yi giant ship to explode the stars in that galaxy.
In this way, all the fish that have slipped through the net can be caught.
After Duan Muhuai turned around all the Citadel race systems, the Reaper fleet also suffered heavy losses, and the alien alien races were on the verge of extinction. After all, even if some of them were lucky enough to escape the blood moon and the massacre of the reapers, they would definitely not be able to escape the collapse of the entire galaxy caused by the explosion of stars.
Of course, thanks to this, the star map will probably have to be redrawn in the future... Well, this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.
Let those Star Alliance astronomers have a headache.
Anyway, it’s not your own hair that fell out.
By the way, he has no hair left to lose.
Hahahahaha, is this a joke?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.........MMP.
Forget it, anyway, after this series of actions, the number of the Reaper fleet has been reduced by one-third. Although the remaining number is more of a headache, at least it can be dealt with in this way. quantity.
I guess so.
So what follows... is almost a head-on battle between humans and reapers.
The light flashed before his eyes.
After walking out of the portal and looking at the glorious starry sky outside the window in front of her, Mary couldn't help but take a breath. Although this was not the first time she came to the Inquisition's mothership, Mary was fascinated every time she saw this scene. To be honest, if it weren't for the confidentiality, she would have really wanted to take Charlie and Ashelika to see it together.
But...it seems a little lively here today? ?
Looking at the surrounding corridors, 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 couldn't help but walk to the playroom, then stretched out her hand to knock on the door, and then Lorena's voice rang out.
"Ah, please come in."
"Sorry to disturb you."
As she spoke, Mary opened the door and walked into the room.
Then, she saw Lorena and... several strange girls.
At the moment they are sitting on the sofa, holding teacups, and seem to be chatting. Lorena was also sitting inside. Next to her was Ogis, who was wearing a black Gothic dress and had long silver-white hair. Duanmu Huai once introduced her to Mary as her very important companion.
Opposite these two people was a girl with long brown hair who looked energetic. Next to the brown-haired girl, there was a short-haired girl sitting. They were wearing the same uniform and looked like they were from a certain school. student, but the girl with short red hair also has a pair of strange wings on her back - look carefully, she has horns on her head and a fat and long tail under her skirt?
On the other side, a girl with long light blue hair, also with horns and a tail, was lying on the blanket bored, staring at the computer in front of her and not knowing what she was doing.
Fortunately, Mary had been following Duanmu Huai for a long time and had met many strange people, so she didn't feel particularly surprised.
"Ah, Miss Mary!"
Seeing Mary coming in, Lorena happily waved to her and asked Mary to come to her. Then she looked at the others and spoke.
"This is Miss Mary Clarissa Christie."
"Ah, you are a local resident of that world, right?"
"That's right, that's right..."
After introducing Mary to everyone, Lorena introduced Mary again.
"Miss Mary, this is the princess of Manalia - An, and next to her is the princess of Regnis, Miss Gulea... Did you see Miss Gulea's tail and wings? In fact, she It’s a hybrid of dragon and human, and it’s a dragon tribe. Oh, by the way, Miss Felin over there is also a member of the dragon tribe.”
"Huh?" After listening to Lorena's introduction, Mary was shocked. This was not because of the dragon people, but...
"Your Highness the Princess?"
This really scared Mary. She was just a middle-class lady and had never said she had any qualifications to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. And now these two are actually all princesses?
"Hello, Miss Mary, I'm Ann."
Facing the surprised Mary, An smiled and waved her hand, and Gu Leiya also nodded slightly to her.
"I'm Gulea, hello."
"Okay."
Feilin, who was lying on the other side looking at the computer, weakly raised her hand and waved, as if to say hello.
"Ah, yes, um, it's such an honor to be able to meet you all..."
At this moment, Mary's whole body was stiff, and her mind was completely blank. How should I put it, it was like going to a friend's place as a guest, but accidentally meeting a big shot like the president of a country, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
"You don't need to be so cautious. I heard from Lorena that you have also joined the Tribunal, right? Then we are companions. You don't need to speak so restrainedly. It will make people uncomfortable."
"Ah, yes..."
Nodding, Mary sat down carefully. At this moment, the maid also brought a cup of black tea. And as if to dispel Mary's uneasiness, Lorena also took the initiative to chat with her.
"Speaking of which, it's rare to see Miss Mary come here. Is there something wrong?"
"Ah, yes."
Hearing Lorena's question, Mary came to her senses and took the paper bag at hand.
"Actually, my first novel has been published..."
"Huh? It's so fast!"
Yes, this is the reason why Mary came here. The first novel she wrote was based on the old man who turned into a zombie by the lake. She submitted it to several publishing houses, and finally one publisher was willing to publish it. Because it was a short story, the first one would include drawings. A total of one thousand copies were printed... Well, of course the number was not large, but for Mary, this was a small start.
"Miss Lorena, do you want to see it?"
"Yeah, I want to see it!"
Lorena excitedly took the book from Mary and began to read it carefully.
"Wow, there are illustrations in it?"
"Well, because there are not many words, the publisher thinks it would be better to add some illustrations... Frankly speaking, because of this reason, the price of the book is not very cheap. I originally wanted to make the price as cheap as possible. It is meant for most people to read, but the publisher said...it is because of this price. When people pick up this book, they will be curious about why this kind of book is priced this way, which will make them Generate interest in reading, and as long as you are interested, you will buy... although I don’t quite understand it.”
"That's it."
Hearing this, An Shen nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the publisher's strategy is very correct. Blindly lowering prices is just devaluing its own value. If someone else sells it at a price that they don't feel bad about spending, it can indeed be sold. But the other party may not see it. On the other hand, at least this price can ensure that people who buy it will read it carefully..."
"Is that so?"
"Absolutely. By the way, what is written in it? Is it what Lorena said before, the story of your adventures in that world?"
"Ah, well...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, the manuscript cannot remain unchanged. For the publishing house, Mary's novel has a good grasp of the atmosphere and story rhythm. 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 Duanmu Huai is the boss. However, at the end of the original story, Mary wanted Duanmuhuai to lean in the direction of Holmes. Simply put, she wanted readers to see that Duanmuhuai was brave and resourceful.
However, the editor thinks that this is a bit too good to be true. Since the man has been portrayed as a fierce and terrifying person before, it is better to portray his actions in a more fierce and terrifying way at the end - after all, the readers saw this at the beginning. From the description of his appearance, we have already guessed that he is a fierce and terrifying person, so how fierce is he? The editor thinks that the ending of the story can be bolder... to make readers feel unexpectedly fierce...
So Mary had to bite the bullet and change it.
But she wasn't sure whether Duanmuhuai would like this ending, so she showed it to Duanmuhuai after it was published.
Although Mary is very nervous, but…………
"No problem at all."
After reading the ending, Lorena gave her own answer.
"Hey? Is it okay?"
"Yes, I feel a little more restrained than the usual knight."
"………………"
Is that called convergence? Mary felt that she had almost written Duanmu Huai as some kind of beast.
"Hey? I want to see it too. I want to see it too!"
"Ah, please..."
At this time, An, who couldn't wait, came over, took the book, and then leaned side by side with Gu Leiya, and started flipping through the pages.
What they felt after reading it was...
"Huh? Mr. Duanmu is not so gentle."
"No problem. After all, Mr. Duanmu usually fights more fiercely than this..."
"………………Huh???"
Hearing this, Mary was completely confused.
