Chapter 6565: The Heroes Fight against the Locusts

"So while we are still discussing it, this matter has already been confirmed?" Chen Xi looked at the official reply from the Roman Empire with a complicated expression. The information from the Han family and Kushan had not arrived yet, but Rome directly asked Letas to open a space portal and come directly to explain to the Han Dynasty.

It is impossible to kill Modestinus. Even Chen Xi knows that this man is a true elite of this era. Even if he cannot reach the level of Zhuge Liang, he is the top figure under Zhuge Liang and truly has the power to interfere with the course of history.

What's more, unlike the lonely Modestinus in the past, the current Modestinus's surname is Claudius, so it is even more impossible to move.

"What are you in Rome thinking now?" Chen Xi looked at Letas with a gentle expression, without any anger on his face, but the more he looked at her, the more pressure Letas felt.

"The Senate hopes that the three empires of Han, Rome, and Kushan will join forces to wipe out the locust plague in East Africa." Letas said with a stiff upper lip, "All losses during this period will be borne by the Roman Empire, and things have come to this point..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me whether Commander Locust Sky's locust plague has the talent to be born." Chen Xi interrupted Letas and went straight to the core of the problem. If the talent is born, then there is no need to struggle.

"No, because the experimenters on our side are relatively cautious. They have added two extremely difficult to untie constraints to the collective will that may give rise to the locust plague. As of now, it should be possible to barely control the Insect King, and our Roman Empire still has follow-up means to suppress the birth of the Locust Sky." Letas directly handed over his true colors. There was no point in pretending at this time. Even if he still had means, he dared not delay.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi turned his head to look at Li You, while Li You was looking straight ahead.

"How long can the eagle emblem you use to restrain Locust Sky last?" Chen Xi suppressed his annoyance. This could be said to be a blessing in disguise. Modestinus was indeed very good. Not to mention that Locust Sky had not yet been completely born, even if Locust Sky was truly born, the back door opened by Modestinus could control him for a while.

"In that case, there is still time. Have you notified the Kushans?" Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. If Rome said that it could only suppress it for a dozen days, then the Han Dynasty could focus on the gravity distortion weapons. But since Rome said that it could still suppress it for more than forty days, then the conventional plan could still be solved, especially if the three empires joined forces, at least they could severely damage the locust plague in East Africa.

"According to the calculations of Opolis, Eusedai and others who were urgently recalled, the Locust Sky will be born on the thirteenth day." Letas said with a gloomy look, "After its birth, the Roman Empire can still suppress it with a relatively high intensity, but only for two days. After these two days, the Roman Empire can still suppress it for forty-three days, but the suppression ability will decrease every day."

Chen Xi didn't feel anything when he heard this, but Li You had already gasped. He was completely unable to understand how Rome had managed to suppress Locust Sky for more than forty days after it was formed and awakened. What kind of strange ability did this person have?

"Extracting the essence of heaven and earth to form the essence density suitable for cultivating elite talents and creating areas without heaven and earth essence are not too outrageous. Since the change of the sky, the three major empires have studied it. Even I know where the special training areas of Kushan are built." Guo Jia said calmly, "But maintaining superhuman abilities in an area without heaven and earth essence is too exaggerated."

Especially when projected to East Africa, they were able to maintain their own strength in the spirit-free area. Their technical strength was really exaggerated.

The reason why the three empires are not afraid of Odin is actually because of this. The bodies of aliens are essentially bodies of talent, and talent is something that is manifested by relying on the essence of heaven and earth. If Odin really wants to lead millions of aliens with double talents to rush into the core areas of the three empires, the soulless areas alone will be enough to kill Odin.

"Just go and report back. We will start organizing people now." Seeing that Chen Xi stopped talking halfway through his speech, Liu Bei turned to Letas and said. Letas bowed to everyone and left quickly. He also had a lot of things to deal with.

"The Roman Empire has adjusted the structure of the Mediterranean Utopia. Once it is ready, it will use long-range projection to create an area close to absolute spiritual power in East Africa to break the cloud of locust plague in East Africa. But we cannot maintain this for long." Seeing that the Han Dynasty gave a formal answer directly, Letas handed over the trump card prepared by Rome in accordance with Sergio's request.

To be honest, this was already a test of Rome's core technology, but this time Letas directly stated the facts, "When the Mediterranean Utopia was first constructed, its core technology was to distribute the density of the essence of heaven and earth. Creating a soulless area can greatly weaken the enemy, and even eliminate all extraordinary abilities as the Han Dynasty did in the past. So if there is a legion that can maintain normality in the soulless area, it can completely crush the enemy."

"If he gets close to Jue Ling, that world-breaking expert won't be able to sustain for too long without the energy supply from the outside world." Liu Bei frowned and asked Letas.

Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he heard this. He knew that Rome's fantasy land around the Mediterranean was not that simple. If the density of the essence of heaven and earth was adjusted to the extreme, it would indeed be possible to create a soulless area. As for maintaining normality in the soulless area, Chen Xi more or less knew how to do it, but he didn't expect Rome to actually do it.

"The technological strength of the Roman Empire is too exaggerated." After Letas left, Chen Xi expressed his doubts to everyone present.

"Letas, you go and report to His Majesty Severus. Five days later, the top backbones of our countries will gather in East Africa, led by Shen Pojie, to directly cut off the collective will of the locust plague in East Africa and send the locusts to destruction." Liu Bei said calmly.

“Although we have known for a long time that both Rome and Kushan should have the ability to extract the essence of heaven and earth and form a stable density of essence of heaven and earth or an area without essence of heaven and earth, the way Rome organized such a large-scale ceremony in East Africa and was able to ensure the use of its own capabilities is too exaggerated.” Fa Zheng also spoke up, following Chen Xi’s words.

If Fa Zheng hadn't known that Rome was now in danger and couldn't stand the provocation, he would have wanted to ask directly.

"Laclilek has gone to inform them." Letas replied quickly.

"Before the Locust Sky is fully formed, we can control it without pressure, but the collective will has already emerged, and it is only a matter of time before it is fully formed." Letas lowered his head and did not look at Chen Xi's expression. At this time, Rome must ask the Han Empire for help. The Roman Empire alone may be able to solve the problem, but in the current situation, who dares to take a gamble?
"How long does it take for Locust Sky to be born? After Locust Sky is born, how long can you control it?" Chen Xi ignored Letas's entanglement and only asked the core question.

"Lord Xuande, what do you think?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and asked. The matter was already very clear and there was nothing to say. The previous preparations had to be used.

"Can I ask something?" Chen Xi asked, but after he opened his mouth, he felt that it was indeed a bit like taking advantage of the situation. Finally, he waved his hand and still did not ask how Rome managed to project the Mediterranean utopia to East Africa and still ensure that it could maintain normalcy in the artificial soulless zone.

In the core area built by Rome itself, Chen Xi thought that the Roman Empire could achieve this level by spending some precious materials, but it was too ridiculous to achieve this level by projecting the Mediterranean utopia to East Africa. This technology has completely exceeded the Han Dynasty's estimation.

It’s not easy to deal with the three empires in other places, but in their own country, everyone has this kind of thing.

It's just that the areas that the three empires used to train their guards were mostly in the core areas. If Odin really rushed over, millions of double talents would be enough to destroy all other places. If there were only a few core areas left, the empire would be finished. That's why they had to block Odin in Northern Europe.

But if Odin really breaks out of Northern Europe, the three empires are actually not too scared. In the early days, when the nature of the Inhumans has not been determined, there are still some concerns. But after the nature is determined, the three empires are at least sure to guarantee that if Odin really rushes to their homeland, they will take Odin away in one wave at all costs.

However, the army had already been mobilized to Northern Europe at that time, and the losses would be great if it really went to the mainland to fight, so it just kept grinding there. Anyway, the three major empires also had many aliens from the Nordic shadow world who could fight with Odin, train newcomers, and cultivate commanders of the large army. At least there was some profit to be made.

After all, the three empires are all ruthless people who will squeeze oil out of every stone.

However, a new problem has arisen. Rome can project the Mediterranean Utopia to East Africa and is confident of creating a soulless area. So when the war was about to start, why didn't they project it directly to Northern Europe and beat Odin back to the spirit of heaven and earth? After all, in terms of difficulty, there is actually no obvious difference between the two.

"Are you thinking too much? The Roman Empire told us these things on the one hand for deterrence and to prove that the Roman Empire still has the confidence, and on the other hand to reassure us. But did you overlook something when you were thinking about it?" Zhuge Liang said to everyone in a cold tone while flipping through the documents.

"What was overlooked?" Chen Xi asked puzzledly.

"The Soulless Zone is a Soulless Zone. The outside world provides the essence of heaven and earth. The two can coexist." Zhuge Liang said calmly, throwing the documents on hand aside. "Let's put it this way, giving you a piece of refined crystal of the essence of heaven and earth can be regarded as a means of replenishing internal energy. Compared with the things you think of, this thing only needs to ensure that it does not leak in the Soulless Zone."

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but be speechless, as if it was indeed the case. Compared with the technologies that Chen Xi and others thought of, what Zhuge Liang said was more realistic. At least the crystallization of the essence of heaven and earth is really expensive, but the Roman Empire can also make it if it really wants to.

“As for projecting the Mediterranean utopia to East Africa, let me put it this way, don’t think of this thing as something so grand. In my estimation, even if Rome invested a huge amount of money in this technology, it probably wouldn’t be completely perfect. It can’t even reach the level of Zhongda’s ultimate power.” Zhuge Liang sat up straight and spoke calmly.

"Really?" Chen Xi frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"The Roman Empire is an ally, and they will share their talents with me. Although I won't dig deep into them, I will occasionally pay attention to them." Zhuge Liang said with a sigh, "By roughly evaluating the abilities of those leaders, we can roughly judge the speed of technological development of both sides. There may be errors, but the gap will not be too big. Leapfrog development is simply impossible."

“If we can’t even achieve the ultimate connection to the sky, then what kind of soulless zone is this?” Chen Xi said with a frown.

"The landing point is all wrong." Zhuge Liang glanced at Chen Xi and said, "Letas has been talking about the area close to the Absolute Spirit and the cloud that defeated the locust plague."

"Approaching absolute spirituality and completely absolute spirituality are two different things. As for destroying the cloud of locust plague, absolute spirituality is only one aspect. The other aspect is probably the eagle emblem in Rome's hand that carries the will of the locust sky." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Oh, there may be some other means to confuse the locust group. In short, it is to increase the difficulty of locusts forming clouds as much as possible."

"Even so, it shouldn't be easy, 400 billion locusts." Li You said with some emotion. The scale was really outrageous.

"That was in East Africa. It hasn't taken off yet. Let alone 400 billion, even doubling it to 800 billion would be no problem." Chen Xi glanced at Li You and said.

"The scale is indeed terrifying. From this point of view, Rome is indeed capable enough. Even though Kong Ming's plan has greatly reduced the difficulty, it is already an amazing feat to be able to destroy the locust cloud." Fa Zheng said with some emotion.

"Gather all the forces that can be mobilized and bring Zhongda and his wife over as well. When it really comes to a life-and-death situation, both the ability to communicate with the sky and the earth and with all things will be very important abilities." Chen Xi nodded to Zhuge Liang, then suggested to Liu Bei.

"If I remember correctly, Zhongda is in Northern Europe." Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke with some reminiscence, "I don't know how well Zhongda has learned the art of war. I haven't had the opportunity to fight in actual combat for so many years. Maybe Zhongda can take this opportunity to surpass me."

"Are you telling the truth?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang with a strange expression. It's really difficult for you to have such high hopes for Sima Yi.

"It's just a hope." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Everyone, prepare yourself. Even an unformed locust sky is not that easy to deal with." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi, then at Zhuge Liang, and spoke to everyone. Then he turned to look at Zhao Yun, "Speaking of which, Zilong has been back for a few days. What happened to Zhongkang?"

What else could happen? Although the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire had ceased fighting, there were too many dirty things going on between the two sides behind the scenes. In addition, stopping the fighting on the front battlefield did not mean that the infiltration behind the scenes had stopped, so the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire were naturally wary of each other.

In addition, Dong Zhao had taught Zhu Helai and others a lesson at the time, and some violent methods of transmitting information could not be used, so that when something really big happened between the two sides and communication was needed, the efficiency was extremely low.

In other words, when Laklilek arrived in Kushan with the incredible news that a locust plague had broken out in East Africa and a locust sky was about to appear, the Han Dynasty was able to barely go through the process and then notify Vasudeva I not to mess around with things like collective will, locust gods, and enlightenment.

The question is, is it still useful to say these things at this time? What a hammer. Vasudeva I was confused, but they knew what Ahmadada was doing. Rome had developed collective will, and they also had the locust god in Kushan. Now the Han Empire informed them of the danger after these two things appeared. This is not a question of whether it is too late or not, it is the nail in the coffin lid!
Even so, the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire have already signed a ceasefire agreement, and the two sides have a proper communication channel. As long as the approval process is followed and there are no jams throughout the process, it will pass...

From this we can see how terrible it was that when Zhuge Liang was in Pamirs, he had to go through the formal procedures for all of Cao Cao's reports.

"The Roman Empire can rest assured that we, the Kushans, will surely give you our full assistance when the time comes." Vasudeva I already knew about the birth of the Locust God. He could barely control it with the help of Kushan's secret techniques, but the news from the Han Empire and Rome's anxious attitude had already proved how dangerous this thing was. Naturally, Vasudeva I would not seek death. After all, who wants to die in this day and age, let alone starve to death.

"Thank you, His Majesty Vasudeva I." Laklilek did not expect that Vasudeva I would be so easy to talk to and agreed directly. As expected, if the matter is so big that people don't even have the chance to be cowards, then everyone will be brave.

"You're welcome. As for manpower, we Kushans will prepare enough in a short time. As for other aspects." Vasudeva I paused.

"We in Rome are responsible for everything." Laclilek gave a direct answer.

"No, what I mean is, if what you have is not enough, we are willing to lend a hand." Vesudeva I said calmly. After all, the locust god could not be concealed, and Rome was not blind. It would know it sooner or later. In this case, it would be better to express willingness to give the greatest support from the beginning. In this way, if it was exposed, the other party would not be able to pursue it.

"The secret technique to suppress the activity of the essence of heaven and earth, and the crystals of the essence of heaven and earth." Laclilek asked tentatively. These two things are absolutely necessary. Under the current circumstances, the Roman Empire would definitely not feel that it is too much, but only too little.

"The secret technique will be delivered soon, and the secret technique of absolute spirituality will also be presented. The crystallization of the essence of heaven and earth will have to wait a while." Vasudeva I gave an answer after a little thought.

　The music has begun, it has begun. Chen Xi was unable to experience the very beginning of the Three Kingdoms, so he will be able to experience it now.
