Chapter 636: 272 The raid begins!_2
A chilling female voice ca from the side, “Please remain silent, I am going to sever all connections between you and your assistant.”
Imperial Defense System.
“Understood,” Yang Ming smiled, “when do we start the operation?”
The female voice responded, “Please be patient, we are approaching the enemy’s saturation surveillance area, and we need to wait for the right mont to pass without hindrance.”
Yang Ming nodded and didn’t ask further.
He guessed correctly; the Empire had indeed activated this ‘senior.’
Their situation seed very dangerous, but in reality, the truly dangerous mont would be after they completed their mission.
Whether this ‘senior’ would save them was still an unknown factor.
Captain Griss was closing his eyes and resting, always feeling that his brain, skilled in onsite commanding, would play a crucial role in the next steps.
Bryant and the female team mber were playing cards, chatting and laughing like sisters, showing no sense of urgency.
Catherine was carefully inspecting her Ship-Slicing Blade, her deanor sharp and formidable in her exoskeleton cha, completely different from when she was with Yang Ming privately.
“Who is Hera?”
Catherine asked softly.
Yang Ming coughed, and the other three people in the cramped cabin perked up their ears.
“A forr girlfriend,” Yang Ming explained calmly, “I think I ntioned her to you before.”
“Oh,” Catherine responded, her golden face shield masking her expression, “Is she a good fighter?”
“She is petite, a scientific researcher.”
Yang Ming glanced at the cabin cara and continued,
“To be precise, she was my strongest scientific assistant. Much of my understanding of the Space Worms cos from her research.
“She had an almost obsessive fascination with the Space Worms, dedicating nearly a decade of her youth to studying them. When the Insect Swarm engulfed the Imperial Administrative Star, devouring billions of humans, and her father was killed by the New Federation, her belief completely collapsed.
“I feel sowhat sorry for her… I an, I can’t give her complete freedom, I can’t return this Space Worm expert to the New Federation.”
Griss turned his head to ask, “Your team behind the scenes is indeed very strong.”
“I actually just have one ship and two or three assistants,” Yang Ming sighed with a wry smile, “After you guys raided my base, I’ve had to go to the black market for spaceship repairs.”
“Sorry,” Griss hurriedly said, “we could request a dedicated passage for you at the military base… if you’d like, I can help you arrange that.”
“Not necessary for now,” Yang Ming said, “Let’s focus on the upcoming battle, and not think too much about anything else.”
Catherine nodded gently.
A scientist? She probably couldn’t beat her.
Bryant suddenly said, “It’s ti to start moving.”
As his words fell, the cold female voice rang in the headphones of all five people:
“Please remain silent, this vessel will be personally controlled by .”
The sensation of being pushed back.
The airship began to accelerate forward.
anwhile, at a distance, a squadron of twelve transport ships from the Imperial Mission had completed the jump.
These twelve transport ships had activated their full-frequency calling systems, distracting the visual field of the New Federation’s forces, creating an opportunity for infiltration for Yang Ming’s airship.
However, this only diverted human attention; the New Federation’s various airspace detection devices would not suddenly change direction.
The Empire’s special airship had breached the saturated surveillance network.
This was a contest of technological levels.
A battle between cloaking technology and anti-cloaking systems, a contest of military industrial standards between two nations.
The transport ship squadron steadily advanced; the leader, a lieutenant general, clenched the decorative tal rod in his hand, staring at the planet ahead.
He didn’t know what the real plan was.
He genuinely thought that the Military Departnt had sent him to deliver this ‘letter of surrender.’
Outside the three major fortresses, three ship squadrons slowly moved forward, beginning to negotiate with the Empire.
—The disadvantaged would not miss the opportunity to negotiate.
Yang Ming’s small craft continued to maintain steady acceleration, relying only on simulated gravity devices for propulsion, resembling a tal ‘Space Worm.’
Their target was the largest fortress with a diater of two thousand six hundred kiloters.
Since the risk was the sa, why not target the most significant firepower point?
In fact, perhaps due to confidence in this fortress, the New Federation had not deployed too many special ships around it, making a breakthrough relatively easier.
“We are about to enter the fortress’s detection system range.”
The female voice reminded them.
Although to Yang Ming, such reminders seed aningless.
“Don’t be nervous,” Yang Ming whispered lowly, “just follow
later, I’m rather good at this kind of jumping in.”
The four nodded lightly.
Bryant and the female team mber had also changed into their battle suits, readied their ergency spacesuits.
Yang Ming wasn’t wearing his White Ghost combat suit, instead using the Empire’s standard exoskeleton armor for the Supermodified.
No choice, the suit was too conspicuous; wandering around in that thing was like issuing a third-level taunt to the New Federation commanders.
Adjust breathing, continue preparing for battle.
The Empire’s transport ship squadron had been surrounded, and both sides sent out small crafts for close-range negotiations through space.
Yang Ming’s small boat gradually approached the fortress, the simulated gravity field began to reverse, smoothly bringing the craft close to a two-hundred-ter wide ion cannon on the ‘bottom’ of the fortress.
Invading the fortress through the cannon was truly a peculiar experience.
