What Cruzet said was obviously reasonable. According to the information they had learned so far, only the Transformers with the word "New" had appeared on Earth from the beginning, and it was chased out of the solar system by a battleship. What was more coincidental was that the lion being chased out of the solar system was blue, which was exactly the same as the scene that appeared in front of them.
For this mission, there was no need to consider any storyline factors. There was also no need to deliberately chase after the storyline to do anything. There was no need to deliberately rope in the factions involved in this mission. All of these were useless. With the interference of the 26 Corps, there was no need to rope them in. However, if something valuable appeared in front of him, he could just take it.
Xiao Ran ordered again, "Mary, send someone to follow the lion."
Mary nodded and immediately made the arrangements. Another small MONF-class battleship left the fleet and quickly followed the lion.
Cruzet said, "This lion's target should be another planet. Can we use it as our next stronghold?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Let's do some investigation first. We'll consider it after all the information is fed back. But no matter where we choose as our stronghold, the first thing we need to consider is the richness of the resources. We don't need to consider whether we can borrow the native forces of this world for the time being. The native forces of this world won't pose any threat to us."
"Mary, send out a reconnaissance team to investigate nearby. If there's nothing else, remove the state of combat readiness. We've just arrived in this world, so don't be too tense. Let everyone relax."
"Okay."
The blue lion being chased by the battleship was traveling very fast in the universe. The battleship chasing behind the blue lion was not slow either. Soon, they approached Pluto. However, even though they were so close to Pluto, the blue lion and the battleship did not discover the more than ten thousand battleships parked near Pluto at this time.
At this time, the small MONF-class battleship that was sent out had approached the steel lion and the battleship behind it in a stealth state. It was in the last position, closely following the target in front.
Cruzet had been watching the situation on the screen. He turned to Xiao Ran and asked, "If I remember correctly, the lion seems to be able to open a jump channel to escape?"
Xiao Ran had returned to his own world for two years. He had paid attention to all the works about mech warfare, so he already knew many of the plots. When Cruzet asked, Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes, but there's no way to stop it. The size of the battleship can't keep up with the teleportation gate opened by the blue steel lion. Remind them to send a drone to follow the blue lion and determine its position."
The drone was very fast, and the target was small. After being ejected from the MONF-class battleship, it left a trail of light behind it as it flew past the battleship in front of the blue lion silently. Not long after the lion flew out of the solar system, it opened a special jump channel door, and then directly entered it without stopping. After the lion's tail entered the channel, the jump channel door disappeared in an instant, and the pursuing battleship did not have time to slow down and directly flew through it before slowly coming to a stop.
Mary's communicator rang. After she picked up the communicator and listened to a few words, she looked at Xiao Ran again. "They're asking if we should take care of that battleship."
Xiao Ran gently waved his hand. "Take it down, attack it, and find all the data stored in that battleship, especially the star map. Then send it to Homestead Fortress for the technology department to study and see if there's anything worth learning about the jump channel."
Mary conveyed Xiao Ran's words word for word. At the same time, she also sent a few battleships to the battleship that had stopped.
Not long after, a few battleships belonging to the Burning Legion surrounded the battleship that was pursuing the blue lion, and quickly appeared from the void. This scene frightened the people in the battleship. In fact, they were not even awake a moment ago, but in the next second, they suddenly found themselves surrounded. Anyone would be surprised and puzzled by such a thing, as if they had seen a ghost.
To deal with a battleship, the several battleships of the Burning Legion did not launch any overly powerful attacks. They merely destroyed the turrets above the battleship first, and then sent out fighters and MS to suppress it from the periphery. Another group of people wearing Tegaman armor and portable Tegaman armor directly opened a hole in the side of the battleship, and then swarmed in like a swarm of bees.
In less than half an hour after Xiao Ran gave the order to take down the battleship, the lone battleship was completely occupied by the Burning Legion. Although there were many people in the battleship, under the joint attack of the landing forces and the terrifying Tegaman armor, the battleship was easily taken over. The people inside were also completely suppressed. The people inside were immediately escorted out, and then sent back to Homestead Fortress with dumbfounded expressions on their faces through the landing craft.
For the next period of time, these captured people would certainly be kept in the prison of Homestead for a long time, and they would also have to face continuous interrogation by professionals. They would only stop when all the value of these captives had been squeezed dry. By then, the life and death of these captured aliens would depend on Xiao Ran's decision.
After taking over the battleship, of course, the first thing they did was to conduct the most detailed inspection of the entire battleship. Unsurprisingly, the battleship's database did indeed store a star map of the entire Milky Way galaxy, and even the capital of the aliens and the occupied planets were all marked on the star map. Such a detailed star map also fell into the hands of the Burning Legion.
After the star map was sent back, Mary began to compare the information on the star map and related information. From the comparison of the information, the star map of the entire Milky Way galaxy was not too different from Xiao Ran's star map. But from the star map, the force behind this battleship occupied a large area of the Milky Way galaxy, which also meant that this force was the absolute overlord of the Milky Way galaxy.
But apart from the star map, there was very little information about the military arrangement and other information about this force. There was almost nothing that could be used to determine the overall strength of this force. In terms of technological level, the battleship could only be said to be at the level of a normal cosmic force. There was nothing too special about it. If they wanted to confirm it in detail, they would have to wait for the technical department to give the final results.
It wasn't until a few hours later that the unmanned reconnaissance drone sent back a set of coordinates. Looking at the coordinates that had already appeared on the big screen, Xiao Ran rested his head on his left hand and gently tapped his right hand with his index finger on the armrest of the chair. After a while, he slowly sat up straight.
"Let Uzzes and Rabir's fleet stay. The other fleets will jump to the new coordinates. The teams that left to investigate the planet will return to their respective fleets after the mission is over."
"Connect the two of them through communication."
Xiao Ran slowly stood up and took two steps forward. After the communication was connected, he saw Uzzes and Rabir on the big screen.
"I am going to lead the other fleets to the new coordinates, but we can't give up on Earth so easily. This is a resource warehouse that is already in front of us. Once the detailed information about Earth is sent back, the two of you can arrange the next mission for Earth. It would be best if we can take down Earth without bloodshed and turn it into our food warehouse. Uzzes, I believe you will have no problems in this regard."
Rabir nodded with a big pipe in his hand. After Uzzes nodded, he said bluntly, "We can take down Earth, but I still need the help of others to be absolutely sure that there won't be any chaos."
Xiao Ran asked, "Who do you want?"
Uzzes said, "Cain and his Demoness."
"Okay," Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, then looked at Mary and said, "Inform Cain."
Uzzes smiled faintly and said, "Then I have no other questions."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Be careful, the force behind that battleship will send people to investigate."
Xiao Ran waved his hand and signaled to turn off the communication, walked back to his chair, sat down, and ordered, "Let's go."
Of the five fleets, after leaving behind two fleets, there were still more than 6,000 ships left. In addition to the Homestead Fortress, they were also a giant fleet. They opened the warp portal and entered one after another. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as three fifths of the countless battleships were entering the space jump channel one after another, the alarm also sounded throughout the fleet. The radar detected some red dots that were rushing quickly towards the place where the Burning Legion was now staying. The speed was so fast that Xiao Ran was a little surprised.
Law tapped on the keyboard in front of him and said quickly, "These battleships and the steel lion just now seem to have a special equipment on them that can increase their speed to a level faster than a beam of light after a certain degree of acceleration. They can enter a state between space jump and conventional navigation, and can cross a very long distance in a few seconds."
"According to the available data, the blue steel lion and the battleship just now should have come from the direction of Earth. After calculation, it will take less than fifteen seconds to reach Pluto from Earth. This is a new kind of technology that we don't have."
Xiao Ran nodded, "But there will be soon. Let Uzzes and Raybill deal with the enemy, we will continue to jump."
The number of red dots detected by the radar was not many, even compared to a fleet, it was pitiful. There was no need to stop because of this number of red dots, Uzzes and Raybill could easily deal with them.
The new Burning Legion went into the space jump channel, followed by more battleships. They ignored the red dots that were rushing towards Pluto, but Homestead temporarily stopped the space jump process.
But when the battleships left the state between space jump and normal navigation, the first thing all the people in the fleet, which numbered less than twenty, saw was countless battleships blocking in front of their fleet. The first reaction of the aliens in these battleships was to rub their eyes. They could not believe what they saw.
But after rubbing their eyes, the scene in front of them did not change at all. Suddenly, everyone's forehead could not help but break out in a cold sweat. They also felt scared.
After that, they did not even need to fire. After a few sparse blasts, the small fleet was reduced to just a handful of kittens. A wave of MS and morphing fighters quickly approached with landing ships. In less than half an hour, another batch of captives and a few samples were added to Homestead Fortress.
The new Burning Legion flew out of the FOLD channel after a period of space jump. Some battleships had already arrived in front of the new Burning Legion, and after the new Burning Legion flew out of the channel, more battleships continued to arrive.
At this time, what appeared in front of Xiao Ran was a planet that looked as beautiful as Earth. It was also composed of green and blue, which represented nature and the ocean. It was obviously a planet that was habitable from the outside.
"Confirm the location of the blue lion. Send someone to investigate the environment of the planet and confirm the richness of the planet's resources. If there are no problems, we will temporarily use this place as our first base, and Earth as our second base."
"Mary, I'll leave this to you. Call the Purple Wind over. I'll go down there personally."
Cruzet stood up and chuckled. "I'm also interested in the situation down there. I'll go with you."
"Okay."
Xiao Ran led a group of people out of the bridge. They were Zhui, Cruzet, Xiangyu Xinye, and Blazing Glory. As for the others, they chose to stay in the new Burning Legion. With Xiao Ran, Cruzet, Xiangyu Xinye, and Blazing Glory, these three unconventional existences, there would be no problem for the seven of them to bring a MANCON-class battleship down there. Besides, the Purple Wind was not the only battleship that was going to land on the planet. There would be more battleships and airframes landing there to collect all the relevant information about the planet.
It took some time for them to arrive at the Purple Wind. After transferring Kreutzer, Brilliant Flame, and the other two's airframes onto the Purple Wind, Xiao Ran entered the bridge and saw Captain Silver, who was standing straight and welcoming him. It had been a long time since he had seen him.
"Let's go. The location has been reported to you through the drone."
"Yes, Lord Xiao Ran."
