The Death List Novel - Chapter 570
Chapter 570 Eve
The Attack’s small combat room was packed with people, and even two rows of temporary seats were placed at the entrance. Including Apostle, the officers in charge of all the departments of the Attack had arrived. The projection broadcasts on the warship had been activated, and the Keith officers and soldiers on duty could also hear the meeting.
“Everyone should have heard of what happened to the Faith. The next step is to decide where we will go from here.” Qin Lun glanced around and said calmly, “Even though Captain Marcus gave us all the operational authority to descend to Apostle before we set off, we are only outsiders after all. I hope that you can decide your own fate!”
“Faith is the vanguard of the entire Giith fleet. Each of you understands your responsibilities very well. However, with the destruction of Faith, the mission of Attack is no longer meaningful.”
Qin Lun said indifferently, “Originally, I had planned to return here and meet up with the other Giese warships to end everyone’s mission. But now, things have changed. We have discovered the enemy’s goal of destroying the Faith.”
Continuing with the mission may hold the key to winning the war, but of course, given the balance of forces and the uncertainty of intelligence, the danger is great. If my judgement is wrong, then it would be almost suicidal for you. ”
As soon as Qin Lun finished speaking, the battle room suddenly remembered a discussion in a low voice.
“My lord, what did you discover? Why did you let Giese participate in the decision-making? Isn’t it enough for us to discuss and decide within our own team?” Apostle looked at each other. When Qin Lun had asked them to gather their men, they thought it was a pre-war mobilization and did not ask about the purpose.
“Yes, my lord! Giese’s obedience is very good. Even if he has an opinion, he won’t refute us!” Bahrain looked at Qin Lun doubtfully. In his opinion, there was no need to explain this to Giese, as long as there was an agreement within the team.
“No, everyone’s fate needs to be decided by themselves!” Qin Lun smiled meaningfully and said, “This is my principle. Whether it’s team members or Giese, they are equal in my eyes.”
Apostle fell silent. Most of them didn’t care. Only Robin, who knew Qin Lun well, sighed secretly. The meaning behind Qin Lun’s words was easy to misunderstand. He thought that the benevolence of young women was too respectful to the lives of some other worlds.
In fact, only Robin understood that Qin Lun was treated equally, and there was no difference between a teammate and a storyline character in his eyes. Perhaps other than himself, everyone else was chess pieces and cannon fodder.
Compared to Toril’s world, which the two of them had first met, it was likely that Qin Lun had been influenced by Kelly and controlled his methods a little, trying his best to avoid causing too many casualties.
Apostle, who was able to join the Attack and descend on Giese, was the most sacrificial and obedient young officer. After a commotion, everyone quickly calmed down.
“Sir, can you tell us what you found?” Dong Yue hesitated for a moment and struggled to ask.
Previously, she had questioned Qin Lun, believing that the destruction of the Faith was just an accident. However, the conclusion reached by the science team proved her wrong. The young man’s inconceivable deduction was correct, which had a great impact on Dong Yue.
However, she was the leader of the Giese on the Attack, so she had to ask for responsibility.
“No!” Qin Lun replied with a smile. Seeing Dong Yue’s pale complexion, he explained gently, “Captain Marcus should have told you that we have our own mission in Apostle. The starry sky projection will often give us some notifications, but I can’t tell you!”
“Of course, there are also some speculations that I have made. There is no basis for them. If you insist on knowing …”
“Sir Qin Lun, please stop talking. We believe you!” Alex stepped out of the crowd and looked firmly at his companions. “Don’t forget, we wrote a suicide note to our family when we joined Faith.
Besides, the commander has always been at the forefront of our battles and has never retreated. “I believe his judgment. Since he said that we still have a chance of winning the war, then no matter how slim the chances are, I will fight to the end!”
At this point, Alex raised his arm to his chest and saluted Qin Lun on the stage. “Sir, if your judgement is correct, I thank you on behalf of all the Giese soldiers here. If your judgement is wrong, then we are willing to use our lives to make up for this mistake!” He said solemnly.
The battle room quieted down. One officer after another stood up, looked at each other, and saluted to the Apostle in front of the arena. “Sir, please! Please accept our lives and lead us to victory!”
Everyone in Apostle was moved, and a strange emotion arose in their hearts. They put away their disapproving expressions and returned the greetings with their unskilled military salutes.
The scene in the battle room was projected onto the other cabins by the ship’s radio. The officers and soldiers who were standing guard also stood up solemnly and saluted to the projection screen. At this moment, the army’s strict organization and centripetal force unified the will of the officers and men of the Attack.
…
“Qin Lun, what exactly did you discover?” Robin finally asked when the Keith officers dispersed.
Qin Lun glanced at Robin and did not reply immediately. He was considering how to use his words. Giese was facing a genocidal crisis. Not to mention Qin Lun giving them a chance, as long as they could catch their breath, they had to fight to the end.
The companions of the patrol team were different from Alex and the others. If they wanted everyone to support him, they had to point out a target for the battle.
“We have had a mistake since we entered this world. Even I am no exception. The special environment of this world gives us the wrong illusion.” After pondering for a while, Qin Lun said calmly, “No matter what we do, we can’t do without the guidance of the Star Mission. Even if the different methods lead to the diversification of the plot lines, we are still within the scope of the historical plot …”
“But there is no such thing as a historical storyline in this world!” Robin’s eyes lit up and he soon realized something.
“That’s right, there are no historical plots in this world, so we lost our guidance after the main mission that was planned in the starry sky changed.” Qin Lun smiled and said, “You may have instinctively sensed that you have to meet up with the other Apostle teams before you can get the mission prompt again. But in fact, the prompt that the starry sky sent us into the Gospel World has always been there, and it depends on whether everyone can understand it.”
Qin Lun glanced around and saw that Apostle was thinking for a moment before continuing, “What is the main purpose of the Starry Sky sending us into the Gospel World? Of course, it is not to choose a winner from the four great guilds.”
At this point, Qin Lun glanced at Sawa and smiled, “The purpose of the starry sky has never changed. What it needs is exploration and world origin. Compared to combat experts, it needs explorers in this world. Since it is exploration, it must have a goal, just like archaeology after ruins!”
Qin Lun walked over to the projector and operated it for a while, projecting the galaxy map that had already been discovered in the starfield and covering more than ten sets of wormhole coordinates discovered by the science and technology team.
“Take a look at this map. This is the X-352 galaxy we fought in. The bright spot is planet X-352, the sleeping octopus.”
Seeing everyone gather around and carefully look at the star map, Qin Lun continued, “I originally thought that the main mission in the starry sky was to obtain the historical veins of the four races through the collision of the four great guilds, but only now did I realize that this is not the case.”
Our participation in the war in Apostle will affect the victory and defeat of the four races, but only this time. In fact, whether it was Giese, the Heathmeier people, the arachnids, or Jannamer, their populations were relatively large. Our participation in the battle was like a huge wave, seemingly earth-shattering. In fact, after we left, it would still be peaceful in the end.
Dong Yue, Alex, and the others may be limited in their knowledge and don’t see the future, but Apostle, who has experienced countless mission worlds, can already see it clearly. The universe’s creature, Jannamer, is so highly evolved that the other three planetary lifeforms will have to work together in the end. Otherwise, the Scorpion Galaxy will still follow the same path as the previous Keith Galaxy.
“Since the general trend cannot be changed, then it is meaningless for the starry sky to send us to engage in a group battle. In other words, its purpose is not to let a certain intelligent race win this war.”
Perhaps it was because of his deep analysis, Qin Lun’s expression became even more confident. He extended his finger and pointed at the star map projection, “Look carefully at the location of Planet X-352, that is, the universe octopus, and the coordinates that the scientific team analyzed. Do you see anything?”
Because star maps are stereoscopic projections, they are not as clear at a glance as planar maps. Everyone looked up and down for a while before realizing that the seemingly chaotic coordinates revolved around the X-352 galaxy. They were like arcs in the orbit of electrons, and they were like satellites supporting the X-352 galaxy.
“Incredible. Although the star map is incomplete, the X-352 galaxy looks like a nucleus. Those coordinates seem to be in the orbit of the surrounding electrons.” Dean seemed to have discovered a new continent and his eyes shone brightly.
“Sao Bao, everyone has seen it. You will find it!” Bobby whispered to the side, attracting Dean’s furious gaze. The two youths immediately widened their eyes like bulls.
“Your Excellency, do you mean that the starry sky has gathered our four great guilds into the X-352 galaxy? In fact, it’s not for us to fight each other, but to explore this wormhole?” Huo Biao said what everyone was thinking in surprise.
“Yes, to be exact, it’s the other side of the wormhole.” Qin Lun smiled faintly and said, “I don’t know what exactly it is. However, considering the current four great races’ wars, I feel that the things there will definitely have a decisive impact on the four great races.”
“Qin Lun, do you mean to go take a look?” Robin frowned slightly, a trace of unease in his heart.
“Of course, you guys don’t have to go. I will leave enough resources for everyone to survive the rest of your stay.” Qin Lun smiled and kicked the ball to everyone again.
Robin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at his companions’ expressions, he sighed and didn’t say anything else.
The patrol teams were all elite Apostle, and even though they knew that the world was facing the pursuit of other teams, no one retreated. Even Bahrain, who was the most stable, had an excited expression on his face. Crisis equals opportunity, and Apostle knows it better than anyone else.
“I beg for wealth and honor!” Normally, Robben, who was the most taciturn, pointed out what everyone was thinking.
At this time, Qin Lun, who had shown everyone the way, quietly left the crowd and stood at the corner of the battle room, looking out of the window at the starry sky.
“That fellow who came to an understanding earlier than me and set up an ambush for the Faith should be able to meet up soon!” The corners of Qin Lun’s mouth curled up slowly, revealing a trace of cunning.
