People's Federation will live forever

Li De stretched out his hand, Olivia glanced at him, then turned his head away, and found a place to stand on the head of the Holy Spirit Mecha.Reluctantly, Li De had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and depressingly instructed the Holy Spirit Mecha to continue to move forward.The two kept a close distance, without a word between them.

It's a bit embarrassing for me to be the leader...

Li De stroked his chin and thought—it really wasn't the right time to come, and he felt a bit like stealing credit, so naturally he couldn't ask others to give him a good face.But it's rare to get the Holy Spirit Mecha out of the warehouse, so it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity to experiment.

But he always felt that Olivia had something buried in his heart, and it was about himself.Speaking of it, Olivia's transition from resurrection to the battlefield was too smooth, and I came here very worried.

The grenades continued to explode on the outer shell of the mecha, and the bullets that hit from all sides were like mosquito bites without pain or itching.The orcs, who are mainly infantry, have no heavy weapons against armor. Their artillery and heavy machine guns can only knock out some small dents on the active metal shell, and these marks can be repaired by the active metal. Immediately wriggled and returned to its original state.

The holy spirit mecha straightened its arms, and two high-energy lasers lined up side by side, sweeping across the land at a 30-degree angle in front of it for two seconds.The light beam ignites the air and makes a roar that stings the eardrums. People who look directly at the laser with the naked eye will be temporarily blinded. If they get closer, those who are lucky enough not to be burned to death by the laser will also have their retinas damaged and become permanently blind.This caused a large number of orcs to appear on the ground, covering their water and evaporating eyes, but they were easily shot and killed by the apostles.

Brotherhood fighters don't have to worry. Since the beginning of the Tiberium War, NOD and GDI have become more mature in the use of energy weapons. It has become standard equipment for soldiers to be equipped with eyepieces that filter strong light, and flash bombs have since been retired.GDI's plasma technology aside, the Brotherhood's lasers and particle beams are twins, derivatives of photon accelerators.Their dazzling light comes from the air and gas dust ignited by dense photons (invisible in space). The difference is that the long-term output of the focused laser is suitable for anti-armor, and the pulsed particle beam is only suitable for anti-infantry.

The burrowing beasts that just opened their teeth and claws were completely destroyed by the arrival of the holy spirit mecha. Their chitin exoskeletons were useless under the devastating laser blows, and one shot could penetrate one.The light beams danced wildly, and the fire of purification burned blazingly. The apostles on the ground could not help but have the illusion that the "God's Mechanism" was like an angel holding a flaming sword, and evil could not hide under its mighty power.

"The Holy One sent the Angel of Death to guide us to victory!" Albert the Blackhand shouted to his brothers, and the figures of Reed and Olivia who were in the Holy Spirit Mecha were also very strong. The earth boosted the morale of the apostles, "Follow me, brothers, now is the time for the final sanction!"

Then he took the lead and rushed into the orc's defense line, and the apostles rushed forward, ignoring bullets and artillery fire. His words were transmitted to Li De and Olivia's ears through the tactical network.Li De was very satisfied with such bravery, but there was a slight change in the general's movements suddenly, which caught his attention.

Here it comes—he thought.But the general spoke, and it was Olivia who broke the deadlock first between the two who were silent.

"Look at these brave warriors," Olivia said, taking off her visor, revealing her beautiful face.Her eyes swept across the fighting apostles on the ground, her eyes were proud and contradictory.

"They believe in you and regard you as the savior. You gave them faith, just like Kane. I used to believe in the dogma of the brotherhood, and I would sacrifice without hesitation for victory. But now... "

Olivia turned and stared at Li De. At the end of the tone, her tone became heavy.Li De also looked back at her, not avoiding Olivia's aggressive gaze.He already had quite a premonition of what the general was going to say.

"You told me that Kane's ascension was just a lie, so what about your so-called sublimation? Aren't you really walking the same path?"

Olivia said seriously, she looked at Li De, but the latter did not show any expression on his face, nor did he answer her.After a few seconds of silence, she withdrew her gaze in disappointment, raised her hand to stroke her long hair that was hanging down her ears, and her voice returned to calm and steady.

"It's just a little pointless curiosity, please pretend that I didn't say anything, leader. You fulfilled your promise, and I will fulfill mine. I will carry out your every order, no matter what."

Before she finished speaking, Li De spoke——

"You're wrong, General. I didn't just give them faith, I gave them life, and they shouldn't exist without me."

He spoke unhurriedly, pointing to the soldiers below: "You suspect that the meaning of their existence as clones is just a tool, but I want to say that, whether it is a natural person or a clone, as long as they are born in the world, There is a meaning for their existence. As for a thing like a person, as long as there is a correct goal, he can exert his full potential and gather all the goodness and strength. On the contrary, if there is no such thing, he will be confused, fall into chaos and release terrible evil and depravity.”

"So? Fabricate a goal for them, so that they can use the full value of a tool?" Olivia asked back, Reed shrugged and spread his hands, neither admitting nor denying it.

"I don't know how much information about me you got from the Watcher, but, my dear General Olivia, I have seen a lot in my two lifetimes."

Li De fell into memory, he remembered his whole life, and didn't answer Olivia's question directly.

"No matter what era, most mortals are unable to find their own goals. Without the right goals, having free will does not mean that they can do the right thing, but it just creates chaos. In the end, these free people who have suffered a lot still have to find for themselves. A messiah, a belief in a system to bind themselves, because in this way they get purpose from others.

I think this is not difficult for you to understand, but I happen to have such ability, I give them faith, give them the strength to do the right thing, so as to omit this blind process. "

The holy spirit mech shook its body violently, and the two burrowers collided with the mecha, one behind the other, and the machine gunner on the burrower aimed at the two of them.Mistaking Li De and Olivia as the manipulators, the two lines of fire intersected and flew past him in a "swish".

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

Olivia and Li De drew their guns at the same time, the particle beam accompanied by the explosion of the air burned the orc in front of them into coke, and Li De pulled out a large-caliber rail pistol with his left hand, a steel nail bomb accelerated to three times the speed of sound Together with the Three Beast Cannon and its owner, they were smashed into pieces. Their movements were so consistent that only the other party could see them clearly.

The legs of the holy spirit mech sank deeply into the soil, and the two giant mechanical claws held the burrowing beast with one hand and pushed them away with incomparable force.The giant claws merged into fists, smashed on the huge skulls of the burrowers and hammered them off. The focused laser pierced through the monster's body, and then the purifying fire melted away everything.

Li De put the pistol back into the holster, and he continued: "Free will must be exercised under strict norms, and such norms are forged by strength. You ask me, what is the difference between me and Kane, I can now Tell you clearly."

"Because I do not lie - the faith I give them, the dogma of the New Brotherhood in the fight for humanity, is no lie. Ascension is sham, ascension is real, and if humanity is to reach its full potential, it must be united in a common under the platform of the Brotherhood!"

"I have crossed the realm of zero, I have seen Scrin, and here I have seen Orcs, what's next? The infinite universe represents countless hostile threats to human beings, so there is no room for internal disputes , whether it is NOD, GDI or the natives of Thira, all beings are equal in my eyes, I want to protect and unite them, and I will fight against the enemies who attempt to destroy mankind."

"When all the enemies of mankind are crushed, the Manifest Destiny, the ideals of prosperity and peace can stand firm. For such a mission, both they and you and I are tools.

Dear General, I was wondering when you would come to ask me.And for now, that's all my answers to your doubts. "

PS: I'm back as scheduled~ How are you all doing this weekend?

This chapter may be a bit more theoretical, but it is related to the theme of the whole book and establishes the style of the fraternity, so it is essential.

See you in the afternoon~

Chapter 34 Knock Down, Step On Again

"I'm not very satisfied with the answer."

Olivia said so, she turned her head away, a strand of silver hair hanging from her forehead, leaving Li De with a cold profile.

"But for the sake of the Brotherhood, I will accept this reason."

Li De showed a smile. Although Olivia still had a frosty expression on her face, the look of disappointment was gone.It cannot be said that these words of mine can infect people's hearts, but one thing is certain - they are all true.

Once, when my soul was washed by the huge data flow of the host computer and was about to be transformed into a cold intelligent life, I set a goal of controlling all human beings (see settings), but when I took the initiative to cut it and was eroded When the soul fragment, the watcher who was one with himself and two sides was born, the control was modified for protection, and it became the new teaching of the Brotherhood.

Just as the program sets the path and automatically calculates the results, Li De has set goals for himself, and the goals will drive him in turn.Protecting human beings - such an ambitious goal has been tried by countless great dictators in history, but they all failed, but I will not.

Because I have no joy or anger, I will never die, and I will always see the overall situation.Power cannot corrode my pursuit, and wealth cannot interfere with my judgment. Not only will I not be shaken, but I will always be rational and fair.

Seeing that the army commander's fighting spirit had recovered, Li De began to turn to other topics.He knocked on the Holy Spirit Mecha under his feet and asked Olivia, "General, from a military point of view, what do you think of this mecha?"

"Strong firepower, solid armor, but lack of mobility." Olivia said, "The action is too slow, far inferior to wheeled and tracked vehicles. It can be used for street fighting and surprise attacks, but frontal fire is a problem in front of heavy artillery and air force. It’s a big target. And walking on legs is too flawed, if it were me, I could easily blow off its legs.”

Li De nodded, but he retorted: "However, the ability to move on complex terrain cannot be denied. For example, in this crypt battle, tanks cannot be put down."

"That's because it's high enough here." Olivia curled her lips, "Cave combat, mechas are indeed more flexible than vehicles. But there are not many places that can accommodate a 12-meter-high mecha, and you don't have smaller mechas." Armor?"

"Yes, the wolverine mech with steel claws, with a light firepower of 3 meters, is not complicated to make, but it does not conform to your black hand organization system, and you have to re-form the legion," Li De said, patting his forehead, as if he had a headache "And there is no suitable candidate for the head of the legion, so I can only take the position first."

Hearing this, Olivia suddenly became interested: "You really included GDI? Those wooden fish heads, how did you let those atheists integrate into our teachings?"

"It's no big deal. For them, I am also the savior and the supreme commander."

"Why didn't you clone that legendary GDI commander? I read the records, he beat you up in Egypt~"

Li De's complexion turned black immediately when the pot was not opened and which pot was lifted.Seeing this, Olivia couldn't help laughing: "You didn't get his gene sample, did you? After all, he was chased and beaten, so there is no such chance."

"Let's concentrate on this battle, General, it will be over soon." Li De changed the subject.Right now, after the holy spirit mecha cleared all the burrowing beasts, the apostle company completely captured the trenches and construction belts near the temple.They cleared the buildings one by one, the black hands sprayed out the purifying flames, the grenades and the buildings were blown to the ground, the riflemen occupied the barricades and surrounded the orcs, and these orcs evacuated to the steps of the temple. The body protects the temple.

Olivia called the shots—"Soldiers! That's the heart of the enemy's faith. Raze this blasphemous temple to the ground!"

"Follow your orders, for the sake of the Brotherhood!"

Fire dragons rushed up the steps, together with the orcs who guarded them-ignited, wrapping the temple in a hot fire.The apostles began to charge the temple.Seeing that the battle was about to end, suddenly a figure sprang out from the flames, its movements were so fast that in the eyes of the apostles there was only an afterimage.A metal spear was projected out, and Albert Blackhand paused as he charged, and looked at a long pole on his chest in disbelief—the double-ended spear-like weapon pierced through the armor, taking himself and behind him with him. The two brothers strung together.

The last thing Albert saw was an ugly alien standing in front of him and staring at him.The tall, thin orc in bone armor grinned at him with his mouth open, and pulled the spear from his chest, gushing blood.Albert's eyes were tearing apart, and his heart was full of anger.

For...fraternity!

He detonated the fuel tank on his body, and a huge fireball rose up the steps.And the black figure rushed into the group of apostles long before the explosion, the spear swung around, and the bullets were also bounced away.With one swing and one poke, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, one after another apostle was knocked down by the orc and stabbed to the ground.

"This damn alien!" Olivia was furious at the tragic death of her subordinates, and she was about to jump off the mecha but was caught by Li Dela.And the latter took the chainsaw sword from his waist and handed it to her—"Take it, the improved one, you can use it too."

Orc priests, Li De had a slight impression of them. In the second generation, he had seen them cut tanks with one hand, but what was deeper was that the speed of this orc was far stronger than his impression. Ordinary soldiers could not resist such agility.

But Olivia can.

The priest's lance impales an apostle, pushing the human corpse away for its next target.Suddenly, it felt a dangerous signal coming from its head, and instinctively blocked it with the scepter.

The chainsaw sword slashed on the scepter with a roar, and the high-speed rotating saw teeth pulled up a long chain of sparks.The priest backed away from the blow, and the weapons passed by, the silicon carbide sawtooth cutting a thin nick in its scepter, and it also seemed surprised by this.

It raised its head, and what was in front of it was actually only a human female.Doubts arose from its heart—is there other such a strong person besides the queen?

But the furious Olivia didn't want to talk nonsense at all, and the chainsaw sword roared and slashed at the priest's face.It also swung the scepter, and the spear tip hit the blade with a harsh buzzing sound. The orc turned to exert force with his wrist. The tip of the spear on the other end stabs at Olivia in turn.

This female doesn't dodge or dodge!

"what!"

The priest cried out in pain——Olivia grabbed the front end of the scepter with her left hand, raised her leg and kicked sideways, and the energy output was maximized, and the steel nails ejected from the high heel shattered its shin The armor got stuck in the calf!

"Go and bury my warrior!"

Olivia shouted angrily.The sound of the fracture was crisp and loud, and the priest used all his strength to snatch the spear back, and flipped backwards to distance himself.But its broken left foot suffered so much pain when it landed that its body also hunched.The priest stood with the scepter propped up, looked up, and Olivia had already rushed in front of it.

"clang!"

The chainsword hit the scepter again, and it used all its strength to support it, and Olivia also held the sword in both hands to press down the orc bit by bit!Fierce sparks fluttered between a man and a beast. No one came to disturb the battle. The apostles consciously made room for their legion commander. This battle would determine the complete victory or defeat.

With a "click", the teeth of the chain saw began to crack, and the scepter made of unknown materials was also twisting and deforming a little bit.The orc cried out in pain, its right leg was completely broken, and its body half-kneeled, but Olivia's strength remained undiminished, her eyes were wide open, and she kept squeezing the chainsword until it was useless.Finally, with an overwhelmed groan, the scepter broke in two from the middle.

The mutilated blade brushed past the priest, and the orc screamed and dropped the scepter, scrambling and running backwards.One of its feet was already useless, and it couldn't even stand up, so it clambered up the temple with its hands clasped in the dirt.Olivia watched this funny scene, holding back her anger, she threw the almost scrapped chainsword so hard that it pierced the priest's back and nailed the reptile to the ground.

"Ah, ah..." The priest grasped the soil in front of him in vain, shouting unknown words.Olivia strode over from behind it, raised her high heels, and stepped on the back of its head fiercely.

The big head exploded like a balloon with a mass of white brains.

PS: It’s a little late because I’m playing against a group of friends, 2600 characters are here~

Chapter 35 You still not going back?

Olivia seems to like to step on the head as much as I do!

Li De thought so, he kicked the big guy under his feet, and then jumped onto the palm of the Holy Spirit Mecha, who obediently put him down.He has not interfered with the battle of the Black Hand Legion from the beginning to the end. Now that the battle is over, it is time to check the results of the battle.

Olivia pulled the chainsword out of the corpse, along with a section of the spine.She took a look at the chainsaw sword, which was brand new a moment ago but now had a broken edge, then threw it back and was caught by Li De.

The apostles began to sweep the field and save the wounded.Olivia sent out a signal, and the ziplines hung down from the gaps in the ceiling, and the team on the surface began to descend.And more engineering vehicles arrived with equipment and saboteurs, and they will build a crane on the breach—it is not a small project to send the 400-ton holy spirit mech out.

Li De felt distressed about this chainsaw sword that took a lot of effort to improve. Unlike the Messenger of Peace, this type II has improved the motor system and freed up space for the fuel cell, so it does not need the support of prosthetic energy. , although the power has decreased, the vibration is less, and ordinary soldiers wearing booster armor can also use it.But Olivia scrapped its knife edge in the first battle... What a violent woman.

But Xiuxiu can still be used - Li De put the sword back on his belt and walked towards Olivia.The head of the female legion was stepping on her pair of blood-stained high heels, picking up the sawed-off spear-shaped scepter from the corpse of the orc priest and studying it carefully.Knowing that Li De was coming, she conveniently threw half of the wreckage of the scepter over.

Li De caught it—the one-meter-long half metal scepter is very light in the hand, but it is very cold, as if it does not conduct heat at all.He played with the half of the scepter curiously, holding the smooth body of the scepter, and looked around at the spear tip, but suddenly saw something strange, and his face suddenly became serious.

"Are you aware?" Olivia said.

Li De nodded. He held up the scepter under the sunlight leaking from the cave. The sun shone on the "metal", but the scepter began to become translucent, and the tip of its spear still shone with golden light.

"This is not metal, but a piece of natural mineral like crystal. There are still many impurities on the handle that have not been polished." Li De stroked the tip of the spear with his hand, and suddenly pulled out the chainsaw sword, The tip of the double-edged spear hit the sword made of titanium alloy. With a "squeak", the titanium alloy sword was smoothly cut in half without any sparks.

"The two-edged opening ... is polished so thin that there is no structural weakness. The structure is stronger than metal. It seems to have its own molecular repulsion to eliminate foreign objects. No wonder the original book can cut tanks." Li De used his The electronic eye zoomed in and saw that the surface on the cutting edge was like countless tiny serrations arranged neatly, and then a current was emitted from his palm—"Insulator, an unknown substance, must be sent back to the laboratory for research."

Olivia sighed and threw the other half to Li De.

"The plastic-steel armor was pierced by it like paper. Fortunately, I kept an eye out for it to touch it." She said, as if regretting the soldiers who died in battle. "I admit, leader, I underestimated this world."

Li De smiled: "Change your thinking, Olivia, this shows that the value of this world is far beyond imagination, and it deserves more from us."

Olivia turned her head, she frowned slightly: "Isn't it too early to start calling me by my name, my leader?"

"What are you talking about? In the fraternity, we are all brothers and sisters~" Li De said haha ​​and perfunctory, "I will let Legion analyze this substance, it may come from deep underground, there is no doubt that this Material things are valuable to our cause."

Olivia tossed her hair and walked towards the temple. Before she left, she said, "Make me a weapon out of this material, and call me whatever you want." Leaving Reed in place.

This... is it true that the more capable people are, the more tempered they are?

Li De shook his head helplessly, then stopped a saboteur and handed over the scepter.Sure enough, as he expected, seeing this unknown material, the saboteur couldn't be more excited. If the current task hadn't been completed, he would return to the base immediately to start research.

No one can really worry - Li De felt his face twitch a few times, and quickly ordered the saboteur to return to his post, and then he followed closely to the temple.

Although it has been hit hard, the temple has not been completely destroyed.

Olivia strolls through the pavilion-style building, observing the hand-built stone structure.Rough, but packed with a lot of information.There are some original murals and reliefs on the walls of the temple. The information obtained from the leader is that the orcs have a belief called the Three Gods, and their bodies are three giant worms that are thousands of years old and can swallow cities.

These bugs are a threat to the base—she thought about it, looking up at the facilities inside the temple.In the center of the small temple is an altar, the torches have been extinguished, but a big drum remains.There are still several human male corpses hanging around, and it seems that they have just died not long ago.

"Aztec-style sacrifice?" Olivia wondered as she looked at the corpse whose belly had been ripped open and its internal organs taken out. She touched the big drum that had resounded through the cave before. There were still some patterns on the drum... No, it's a tattoo, it's a human skin drum.

Li De came up from the steps, he also looked around curiously, and then quickly shook his head: "Worthless... Holy Spirit, come here, tear down this ruined temple for me, I want to see the following What tricks!"

At this time, Olivia turned around and asked him: "Leader, why do I see all the corpses of men along the way, what about women in this world?"

Li De was stunned by Olivia's question, and he thought for a while: "There are some terrible speculations about this question, but they haven't been confirmed yet."

Undoubtedly, such an answer would not satisfy Olivia, so he continued.

"You can serve as a reference, General, but in the end, it needs more verification."

...

The giant claws of the Holy Spirit were like the buckets of two excavators, throwing the roof and pillars of the temple aside like building blocks.A large piece of stone was dug open by it, and as the last floor was lifted away, a soaring stench gushed out, and the smell mixed with carrion and other unknown substances filled the entire crypt instantly, and even Olivia Had to button up the visor - just in time no one could see her livid face.It is not known what Li De said to her, but the head of the female army was in a bad mood.
