Chapter 1217: 1166, Battle of the Second Line (Part 3)_3 Chapter 1217: 1166, Battle of the Second Line (Part 3)_3 “Manina was still seated in the command center, his front adorned with an electronic map displaying the real-ti dynamics of the surveillance drones.”
“Originally, there were 300 red dots progressing along a predetermined route on the electronic map, but now all these dots had deviated from their path. Many of the dots had even disappeared, losing contact with the headquarters.”
Hearing the report from Blue Devourer, Manina asked in a deep voice, “Blue Devourer, how many surveillance drones have we lost?”
AI Blue Devourer imdiately replied, “Up to now, we have lost 78 drones. The ‘Ice Shooters,’ ‘Corn Pitchers,’ ‘Ice Waterlon Pitchers,’ and ‘Clovers’ planted by the Blue Star People are too dense, and the drones have not even completed 1% of their reconnaissance mission.”
Manina sighed, “Forget it, let’s call back the remaining surveillance drones. They are utterly useless on the future battlefield.”
In fact, surveillance drones weren’t that useless. Even though Demonic Plants were everywhere, the drones could easily complete their reconnaissance missions.
The surveillance drones made by the Skuru people had superior performance and could operate at extrely high altitudes; they could easily fly above the troposphere of Blue Star, reaching altitudes of 10,000 to 20,000 ters to perform reconnaissance operations.
At such high elevations, the bullets of the Demonic Plants couldn’t reach them.
But now there was that golden defense net overhead. Because of this colossal golden net, surveillance drones couldn’t fly very high—1,000 to 2,000 ters was the limit.
And the bullets of the Demonic Plants could definitely reach 1,000 to 2,000 ters high, which is why the surveillance drones seed so powerless against the threat of the Demonic Plants.
Now, the surveillance drones were completely useless.
Manina thought for a mont and commanded, “Blue Devourer, inform Langqi to send 20 Seventh Order cultivators to complete the reconnaissance mission.”
Since the surveillance drones were useless, he had no choice but to let high-ranking cultivators undertake the reconnaissance missions.
The bullets of the Demonic Plants couldn’t breach the defense of a Seventh Order cultivator, nor was the slowing effect significant on them, and the gusts blown by the ‘Clovers’ hardly impacted them.
So, sending out high-ranking cultivators should allow them to explore the exterior region properly.
At the sa ti, Manina instructed AI Blue Devourer again, “Blue Devourer, also inform the ancestors and Your Excellency Pu Langte that the three of us will go take a look at the golden defense net.”
Previously, they had been blocked by Blue Star People’s first line of defense, and they could not reach the golden defense net in the sky without breaking through the front.
Now that the first line of defense had been breached, it was ti for them to see what this thing really was.
…
Ten minutes later, 20 Seventh Order Skuru cultivators flew out of the first defensive line, heading in all directions.
They all carried reconnaissance devices, capable of capturing everything within their field of vision.
anwhile, Manina, Manina III, and Pu Langte ascended together, flying up more than 3,000 ters, approaching the golden defense net.
However, as they approached the golden defense net, Pu Langte imdiately noticed on the other side, God Level Peak Cao Cao smiling at them.
But Cao Cao was the only one from the other God Level Blue Star People present.
“Hehe, Cao Cao, we et again,” Pu Langte greeted with a forced smile.
“Yes, we et again,” Pri Minister Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, “I guessed you would co to see the ‘Tarxin Defense Network,’ just didn’t think it would take you this long, a bit slower than I expected.”
“This net is called the ‘Tarxin Defense Network’?” All three shifted their gaze to the defense net.
“You didn’t know?” Pri Minister Cao appeared surprised, “This net has been deployed for so long, I thought you would have figured it out by now, didn’t expect your information gathering capabilities to be so weak!”
“We don’t have many channels to obtain such information,” Pu Langte disregarded the sarcasm in Pri Minister Cao’s tone.
He flew up to the side of the Tarxin Defense Network and placed his hand directly on it.
The golden panel of the defense network made contact with his palm, but Pu Langte felt no retaliation.
To his touch, it was like touching a piece of ordinary glass, very smooth, but this “mirror” was much harder than glass; he lightly pressed the golden panel, and it didn’t budge an inch.
Seeing Pu Langte’s action, Pri Minister Cao smiled, “This is a defense web especially made by the Holy Silver Federation to combat the Cosmic Slug species, I’m not joking, just this defense network alone could protect you for hundreds of years with no problem!”
“Hundreds of years? What a joke!” Manina and Manina III were disbelieving, thinking that Pri Minister Cao was utterly bluffing.
In reality, their skepticism was not based on their analysis of the Tarxin Defense Network’s defensive capability, but because they knew that the Blue Star People could not possibly possess a defensive weapon that could protect them for hundreds of years.
After all, the “Principle of War Fairness” was clearly defined, and whatever Su Yu exchanged for thousands of study credits, no matter how potent, couldn’t severely affect the balance of the entire war.
So, this defense network was likely sothing they could break through with so effort. “Your Majesty, many surveillance drones have been heavily damaged and can no longer support further reconnaissance missions,” the AI Blue Devourer reported to Manina at the Mount Fuji headquarters.
Manina was still sitting upright in the command center, and right in front of him was an electronic map displaying the real-ti dynamics of the surveillance drone fleet.
Originally, there were 300 red dots advancing along a predetermined path on the electronic map, but now all these dots had deviated from the path. Many of the dots had even disappeared, losing contact with the headquarters.
