The artificial canopy gradually brightened, and the artificial moon and dark background that represented the night gradually faded away. The storm and atmospheric discharge of the Divine Fog planet once again dominated everything around it.
A silver-white battleship that was covered in scars suddenly cut through the sky, creating a huge gap in the pouring rain and thick clouds. The high-speed battleship rubbed against the surrounding air violently, emitting high-frequency sound waves so sharp that it could kill a normal person. Ripples appeared in the rain hundreds of meters away, and these ripples connected to form a tube that looked like a corrugated tube, slanting towards the military base at the bottom of the atmosphere.
In the tube formed by the energy screen, the battleship slowly decelerated, and finally landed steadily on a landing platform near the center of General City. From the moment it entered the last energy barrier, its entire body began to emit white mist. It was the nitrogen-helium-hydrogen atmosphere that originally appeared in the high-pressure environment outside the base. After entering the low-pressure space of the base, the liquid gas quickly evaporated, making the battleship look like it had just been released from its cage. Coupled with the several shocking cracks on the surface of the armor and the blue sparks that kept bursting out from within, it made one feel like the aircraft was about to explode in the next second.
As soon as the aircraft landed, several servomechanics immediately came forward. These octopus-like robots floated in the air and began to rescue the battleship that was almost torn in half according to established procedures. While repairing the damage, they did not hesitate to tear open the heavily deformed armor, and pulled out a pilot whose body was almost melted.
"Serial number ERO-658312-CYH-135, private. Your body has suffered serious damage. Your memory core will be extracted. Please stop input and output to the memory core to prevent the core information from becoming chaotic."
A robot that was smaller than the other servomechanics approached the almost corpse of the Empire soldier and spoke with a mechanical voice. The Empire soldier was lying on the ground, his voice a little distorted. "I can't hear your voice (electromagnetic sound). Information link interrupted. Important information (electromagnetic sound) reporting. Priority to save memory core …"
Realizing that the soldier in front of it could no longer communicate with the outside world, the servomechanics floated up and down in the air. After a brief discussion with its superior servomechanics, they decided to extract the core first. So, they stopped the soldier's operation without hesitation and began to dismantle the latter's memory core.
These were audio and video recordings left by a set of automatic recording devices. They were about five minutes long, and after the playback, the holographic projection returned to a white background and a rotating Imperial Army emblem. Sandora switched the image to another scene. What appeared before them was a precise diamond-shaped structure that emitted a blue halo as if it was breathing. The structure was floating on a metal platform, and from the background of the holographic projection, it was located in the soldier regeneration factory.
This was the memory core of a Xi Ling soldier. This morning, this soldier piloted a heavily damaged fighter aircraft back to base. In the end, only the memory core was salvaged. Before that, he and his comrades had lost contact with the base for as long as an hour.
"Soldier, your regeneration will pause for a moment. Can you speak now?"
"The memory test is normal. Prepare to respond to the command of the highest authority."
The diamond-shaped structure in the holographic image vibrated slightly, and an energetic voice sounded in the air. It seemed that before he was burned to the point where only a small lump was left, this soldier was still a loud voice, because the current voice was completely simulated by the tactical center's scanning device according to the memory core.
It was easy to understand that the other party's voice was slightly excited. As an ordinary soldier, there were very few opportunities for him to meet the emperor directly, even if it was just a video conference. And now, he was surrounded by a large group of national leaders like he was besieged on all sides (this metaphor does not seem to be appropriate), waiting to speak. Anyone would be nervous to speak in such an environment, whether he was surrounded by the leader or the mother-in-law...
Sandora nodded and said, "You encountered enemy fighters when you were patrolling in the fifth orbit?"
"The fifth orbit, the coordinates are..." The memory core quickly reported a series of complicated data, and then continued, "The enemy had an assault ship and three fighter escorts. The patrol team, except for me, had all crashed. The enemy was completely wiped out. Encountered, no signs of ambush."
The information that the memory core could provide was limited. Before he became like this, he was just an ordinary patrolling soldier. In such a sudden encounter, to be able to wipe out all the enemy fighters and survive was already the enemy's best achievement. Other than that, with the scanning device on the fighter jet, there was really nothing else he could report.
After asking the soldier to hurry up and repair the factory, we all fell silent.
"The fifth orbit... Isn't that inside the Divine Fog planet's defense line?"
Shallow Shallow blinked her eyes and said in a daze. It was really hard for her to spend all her time running around the base, fooling around with Liliana, catching Jingle, and still have the time to pay attention to the place where her million soldiers were stationed. In fact, I was already surprised that she could say the words "Divine Fog planet's defense line."
I adjusted the star map to the Mobrador star system. After a few adjustments, I marked out an arc and introduced it to Shallow Shallow, "This is the fifth orbit. As the name suggests, this is the orbit of the fifth planet of Mobrador. It is inside the Divine Fog planet's defense line and has passed through the blockade of our million soldiers..."
Sandora couldn't help but cough, "Ahem, Ah Jun, that is the fourth orbit."
I was stunned, and then I laughed foolishly, "Oh, I got it wrong. Why does this fifth planet look like a bean? I can't see it clearly..."
"That is the Divine Fog planet's satellite." Sandora almost buried her face under the table. She was gritting her teeth as she spoke. "Ah Jun, you better give me the star map."
I obediently handed over the control of the star map and smiled sheepishly. It can't be helped. Recognizing star maps has always been my weakness. Furthermore, the three outer planets of the Mobrador Star System are very close to each other. Not to mention, a professional military star map has a bunch of symbols and footnotes that I can't understand. All of these things add up to make me dizzy. It is said that these things are indispensable supporting information for strategic deployment, but I feel that their greatest use is to confuse our own commanders. Look at how simple the Revenge Army's current map looks. It is so clean that there is nothing at all. It is just that a few officers in the intelligence department seem to be in low spirits for the past two days.
Sandora locked onto the coordinates where the patrol team was attacked. It was a seemingly ordinary space, far away from any celestial bodies. There weren't any Empire outposts nearby either. More importantly, it wasn't on any military transport route.
That's because the military transport routes were all marked on the star map.
"I'm afraid we have to face up to a terrible fact." Sandora sighed and pointed to the small dot on the star map. "The Revenge Army has repeatedly avoided our warning system and appeared directly around us. Even this time, they simply ignored the Divine Fog planet's defense line and appeared inside the Mobrador star system. They may have the ability to appear anywhere in this universe, and they have the technology to render conventional warning radars ineffective."
The rest of us looked at each other. To be honest, we were already used to this kind of situation in this damned place. However, when we suddenly found out that the Avengers had such a trump card, our hearts couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably.
"What if they suddenly appear when I'm changing clothes?" Liliana said with great melancholy.
"Chen Qian, Chen Qian, I have something to discuss with you." Icetis tugged on her big sister's clothes. "Put a curse on the base in the future. It's a trigger type, specifically to deal with uninvited guests. Curse them … Mm, curse them to be unable to fart for the rest of their lives …"
I quickly pressed her down. "Can't you say something less disgusting?"
Sandora saw that the group of people in front of her was about to get into trouble again. She quickly coughed twice to warn them. "Cough, cough. Be serious. We don't know the situation yet."
Everyone immediately quieted down after the Queen spoke. We adjusted our expressions and prepared to listen to the Queen's decree. Only Icetis was still muttering unwillingly, "Pfft, it's rare for me to come up with such a brilliant idea. Plus, the Shiring Apostles don't have that function …"
I felt that it was a mistake to let this fellow into the room from the very beginning!
"The situation shouldn't be that bad." Sandora glanced at us sternly. When her gaze landed on Icetis, it changed to a gastritis expression. However, she managed to cover it up. "I'm only guessing that the Revenge Army has mastered this method. However, the old Empire didn't have the technology to ignore the warning radar and teleport without triggering any spatial phenomena. So, don't think that the situation is that bad. Also, if they really have mastered this technology, they could have sent their army directly to the streets of General City or even teleported to our side. However, they didn't do that. So, I'm guessing that this kind of mysterious teleportation method is something that they are unable to control. Also, it's impossible for them to appear too close to the Empire's base. Look at the records. The first time the Revenge Army appeared was during the ambush on the Misty Star. After we moved the star ring, they appeared for the first time in the main material plane. Our warning radar played a role in that ambush. Then, during the second ambush, they appeared at the gravitational boundary. This time, we scanned the spatial phenomena in advance, but we couldn't determine the enemy's warp trajectory. After that, the construction team was ambushed and the patrol team was ambushed. However, they were only small-scale battles. So, I'm guessing that the Revenge Army has mastered two methods. The first method is to conceal their tracks. They hide their warp trajectory during the warp so that we can't track their base. This worked in all four of their appearances. The second method is to teleport without warning. Not only can they hide their warp trajectory, they can also completely hide from the warning radar before they complete the warp. This was the case in the next two encounters. "
"Also," Big Sis seemed to have analyzed something. "The first and second appearance of the Revenge Army had a purpose and they didn't teleport without warning. The third and fourth appearances seemed to be completely coincidental. I'm afraid that even the Revenge Army didn't expect to meet our troops. It was also during those two encounters that they used teleportation without warning … "
"They blindfolded." Sandora spread her hands and came to this conclusion. "Although others couldn't warn them, they didn't know where they would appear. Also, I have reason to believe that this technique is only suitable for small-scale teleportation. Otherwise, the patrol team wouldn't have just encountered a small team. Moreover, the Revenge Army didn't directly invade General City, nor did they attack the mothership fleet equipped with gravitational traps. This means that the gravitational traps near the base are still useful. It's just that their effectiveness has been suppressed. "
My gaze bounced back and forth between Sandora and Big Sis with reverence. I thought to myself, These two's foresight is beyond the ordinary. Just based on the few appearances of the Revenge Army and the few continuous' patterns', they were able to deduce so many things. It seems that there really are experts in this world. At least, I'm not one. But what I'm curious about is, why is Big Sis …
"Big Sis." Seeing that the two of them had finished discussing this topic, I suddenly raised my hand. "What are we eating tonight?"
Big Sis was stunned. It was obvious that she was processing something. Then, she smiled gently and said, "Let's eat hotpot."
Alright, I swear that if you were to ask her about the Revenge Army's movements again, she wouldn't be able to remember a single word! Big Sis who is single-threaded can only give me some confidence at times like this …
Icetis glanced back and forth between Big Sis and me with a suspicious gaze. With her limited understanding of us, she probably didn't know about Big Sis' single-threaded ability. She just felt that it was rather abrupt for me to suddenly bring up this topic. However, Sandora was completely immersed in her thoughts of eating. The moment Big Sis said 'hotpot', Her Majesty the Queen quickly knocked on the table with a face full of joy. "Alright, let's eat hotpot!"
I felt that she really wanted to eat 'hotpot'. That lass had recently become quite addicted to stainless steel.
Under the increasingly treacherous shadow of the Revenge Army, we also felt the pressure. Thus, we increased the construction speed of the frontline engineering team. The light dots on the star map that represented the construction progress would refresh almost every hour. It meant that a new batch of war factories or sentry fortresses had been put into use. Hundreds of fully-armed fortresses were quickly built under the cover of various concealment devices. Some of them had already begun to produce the first batch of troops. Just as we had feared, the "wandering" troops of the Revenge Army appeared again. This time, they appeared outside a space fortress that was almost completed. This small troop was later shot down like tofu by a large number of sentry cannons stationed there. After that, we decisively gave up on the space fortress and waited for it to attract the enemy's main force. Unfortunately, the enemy seemed to have given up on this not-so-fat fresh meat. There was only a bunch of sentry cannons near the newly completed space fortress. There was no fleet stationed there, and the Leader Bee didn't have the time to project a mirror image there. Another time, an engineering team that had just completed a construction mission and was preparing to head to the next space fortress was attacked. It was still a suspicious encounter. After paying the price of several frigates, the engineering team successfully shook off the enemy. Our reinforcements then arrived and annihilated the small fleet. However, the enemy never appeared again. The remaining few encounters were not worth mentioning. They didn't even come into direct contact. Those were probes that entered deep space and discovered traces of the enemy. However, before the main force could rush over, the enemy mysteriously disappeared.
This phenomenon definitely started recently. All signs pointed to the fact that the Revenge Army was frequently entering the Prime Material Plane. They might be patrolling, but they were patrolling like headless flies. Sandora couldn't tell what exactly was wrong with them. In any case, the enemy's current movements were full of mystery to us. In this world, there was a type of enemy that you would never be able to guess, and that was a lunatic. Although it wasn't very appropriate to say it, now that I saw the movements of the Revenge Army, it really was a little crazy.
However, all of this was just the calm before the storm. In reality, no one could have imagined that such a huge change would come so suddenly, and in such an unimaginable manner.
The day before the Leader Bee was about to set off to the space fortress to project the mirror image guards, a piercing alarm simultaneously echoed through the City of General General's broadcast system and every apostle's information link.
"Critical alert, critical alert! Planet Brown Earth is under attack! Planet Brown Earth is under attack! I repeat, the enemy has breached our defense line, the enemy has breached our defense line! "
When the alarm rang through all the communication channels, I was asking Sives about the progress of the construction of the gigantic World Gate. Miriya also followed me out of curiosity, and the first thing I noticed was that the girl's face was instantly filled with disbelief and fear.
Planet Brown Earth was the fourth planet in this star system. It was relatively far from Planet Mobrador, but due to its thick greenhouse gases and volcanic lava that covered a quarter of the planet, it had a hot climate. The Mobradorians had only colonized it a few decades ago, but due to the harsh climate, there was very little land for farming and habitation. The population of this dark brown planet was very small, and it mainly existed as an important mineral source. The people who lived on it were basically miners and small mine owners who wanted to make a small fortune and live the rest of their lives without worries. Although it was a colonial planet in name, its colonial value was really not high.
But that was only relative to the old colony "Xinxiang".
For the Mobrador civilization that only had three habitable planets, Planet Brown Earth was one-third of their homeland. Being attacked on this planet meant that their homeland had fallen.
And for the Imperial Army, Planet Brown Earth was a safe zone behind our layers of defense lines. Being attacked here was the greatest humiliation.
Sandora wasn't by my side, but her voice seemed to resound through all channels at the same time as mine. "Royal Navy! Regroup!! "
