Chapter 1215: 1166, Battle of the Second Line (Part 3) Chapter 1215: 1166, Battle of the Second Line (Part 3) PS: I’m sorry, I’ve been very busy over the past month, and my inspiration had run dry, resulting in the next four chapters being released unfinished. I will make up for it over the next few days. If you are reading this line, please refresh the page in two days. If this line is no longer here, then it has been modified.
“Your Majesty, our reconnaissance airships have suffered extensive damage and can no longer support subsequent reconnaissance missions,” reported the Mount Fuji Command Center.
Manina was still seated in the command center, facing an electronic map that displayed the real-ti movents of the reconnaissance airship fleet.
Originally, the electronic map showed 300 small red dots advancing on a predefined route, but now all these red dots had deviated from their course. Moreover, nurous red dots had disappeared, having lost contact with the command center.
Upon hearing the report from Blue Devourer, Manina asked solemnly, “Blue Devourer, how many reconnaissance airships have we lost?”
The AI Blue Devourer imdiately replied, “As of now, we have lost a total of 78 airships. The ‘Ice Shooters,’ ‘Corn Pitchers,’ ‘Ice Waterlon Pitchers,’ and ‘Clovers’ planted by the Blue Star People are too dense, and the reconnaissance missions haven’t even completed 1%.”
Manina sighed, “Forget it, call back the remaining reconnaissance airships. Reconnaissance airships are completely useless on the future battlefield.”
In reality, reconnaissance airships were not that useless. Even with Demonic Plants everywhere, the airships could have easily completed the reconnaissance missions.
The Skrulls’ reconnaissance airships had superior performance, capable of operations at very high altitudes; they could fly above Blue Star’s stratosphere, to heights of 10 to 20 thousand ters to conduct reconnaissance activities.
At such high altitudes, the bullets from Demonic Plants couldn’t reach them.
But now, with that golden defense net overhead, reconnaissance airships couldn’t fly too high, with one or two thousand ters being the limit.
And since bullets from Demonic Plants could reach altitudes of one to two thousand ters, that’s why the reconnaissance airships appeared so powerless under the threat of the Demonic Plants.
Now, reconnaissance airships were deed completely useless.
After considering his options, Manina ordered, “Blue Devourer, inform Langqi to dispatch 20 Seventh Order cultivators to complete the reconnaissance missions.”
If the reconnaissance airships were of no use, he could only rely on high-ranking cultivators to undertake the reconnaissance missions.
The bullets from Demonic Plants could not penetrate the defense of Seventh Order cultivators, and their deceleration effect was almost ineffective against them, even the strong winds blown by Clovers had little impact on them.
So by sending out high-ranking cultivators, they should be able to explore the outside areas.
At the sa ti, Manina once again instructed the AI Blue Devourer, “Blue Devourer, also inform the ancestors and Your Excellency Pu Langte to join us in examining the golden defense net.”
Previously, they were sealed off by Blue Star People’s first line of defense and couldn’t co into contact with the golden defense net in the sky without breaking through the defense line.
Now that the first line of defense was breached, it was ti for them to find out what exactly this thing was.
…
10 minutes later, 20 Seventh Order Skuru cultivators flew out of the first line of defense and headed off in all directions.
They each carried reconnaissance devices capable of capturing everything within their line of sight.
anwhile, Manina, Manina III, and Pu Langte ascended into the air, flew up more than 3,000 ters, and approached the golden defense net.
But as they neared the golden defense net, Pu Langte imdiately noticed on the other side of the net, the Peak God Level Blue Star military commander, Cao Cao, smiling at them.
However, only Cao Cao was there; no other God-Level Blue Star practitioners had co.
“Heh, Cao Cao, we et again,” Pu Langte greeted with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
“Indeed, we et again,” Pri Minister Cao Cao replied with a smile, waving his hand: “I guessed you’d co to see the ‘Tarxin Defense Network’; I just didn’t expect you to co now. You’re a bit slower than I thought.”
“This net is nad ‘Tarxin Defense Network?'” All three turned their gaze to the defense network.
“You don’t know?” Pri Minister Cao Cao seed surprised: “The network has been in place for so long, I thought you’d have figured it out by now; I did not expect your intelligence gathering to be so poor.”
“We do not have many channels to obtain this kind of information,” Pu Langte ignored the sarcasm in Pri Minister Cao Cao’s voice.
He flew to the side of the Tarxin Defense Network and pressed his hand against it.
The net’s golden panel made contact with his palm, and Pu Langte did not feel any retaliation.
To his touch, it was like touching an ordinary mirror surface, very smooth; however, this “mirror” was much harder than glass; he pressed it lightly, and the golden panel did not budge.
Seeing Pu Langte’s actions, Pri Minister Cao Cao smiled and said, “This defense net is specifically designed by the Holy Silver Federation to counter the cosmic worm species; I’m not joking, just with this defense net, it would not be a problem to defend against you for hundreds of years!”
“Hundreds of years? What joke is this?” Manina and Manina III both expressed disbelief; they felt that Pri Minister Cao Cao was talking nonsense.
Actually, their disbelief was not because they had figured out the defensive ability of the Tarxin Defense Network but because they knew that the Blue Star People could not possibly have obtained a defense weapon that could protect them for hundreds of years.
After all, the principle of “Fairness in Warfare” was in place, and the items Su Yu exchanged for thousands of credits, although powerful, could not severely affect the balance of the entire war.
