Chapter 1221: 1167, Battle of the Second Line (Part 4)_3 Chapter 1221: 1167, Battle of the Second Line (Part 4)_3 “Your Majesty, the scout drones have suffered significant damage and can no longer sustain the reconnaissance task,” AI Blue Devourer reported to Manina at the Mount Fuji command center.
Manina was still seated in the command center, with an electronic map directly in front of him that displayed the real-ti movents of the scout drone fleet.
Originally there were 300 red dots on the electronic map progressing along the prescribed route, but now all these dots had strayed from their paths. Even more so, nurous dots had vanished, losing contact with the command center.
Upon hearing the report from Blue Devourer, Manina asked in a deep voice, “Blue Devourer, how many scout drones have we lost?”
The AI Blue Devourer imdiately responded, “As of now, we’ve lost a total of 78 drones. The Demonic Plants cultivated by the Blue Star People, such as Ice Shooters, Corn Pitchers, Ice Waterlon Pitchers, and Clovers, are too dense. The drones have not even completed 1% of their reconnaissance mission.”
Manina sighed, “Never mind, have the remaining scout drones return. The scout drones appear to be completely useless on the future battlefield.”
Actually, the scout drones weren’t that incompetent. Even with Demonic Plants covering the earth, the drones could have easily completed the reconnaissance mission.
The scout drones made by the Skrull people were high-performance, capable of high-altitude operation. They could fly up above the troposphere of Blue Star, reaching heights of twenty thousand ters to conduct their surveillance.
At such heights, the Demonic Plants bullets couldn’t reach them.
However, now with that golden defense net above them, the scout drones could not fly too high, with one or two thousand ters being the limit.
And since the Demonic Plants’ bullets could easily reach heights of one or two thousand ters, this was why the scout drones were so powerless under the threat of the Demonic Plants.
Now, the scout drones were utterly useless.
Manina thought for a mont, then instructed, “Blue Devourer, notify Langqi to send twenty Seventh Order cultivators to complete the reconnaissance task.”
Since the scout drones were ineffective, he had to rely on high-ranking practitioners to undertake the reconnaissance missions.
The bullets of the Demonic Plants could not penetrate the defenses of a Seventh Order cultivator, and the slowing effects were practically ineffective on them, not to ntion that the fierce wind blown by the Clovers hardly affected them.
So deploying high-ranking practitioners should enable them to explore the surrounding area thoroughly.
At the sa ti, Manina gave another command to AI Blue Devourer, “Blue Devourer, also notify the Patriarch and Your Excellency Pu Langte that the three of us will go to the golden defense net to take a look.”
Before, they were sealed off by the Blue Star People’s first line of defense and could not approach 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 see what that thing really was.
…
10 minutes later, twenty Seventh Order Skrull cultivators flew out of the first defense line, heading in all directions.
They were all equipped with scouting devices, capable of capturing everything within their line of sight.
anwhile, Manina, Manina III, and Pu Langte rose into the air together, flying over 3000 ters upwards, approaching that golden defense net.
But as they approached the golden defense net, Pu Langte imdiately noticed that on the opposite side of the net, Cao Cao, the Peak God Level of Blue Star, was smiling at them.
However, only Cao Cao was there; the other Blue Star God Levels had not co.
“Hehe, Cao Cao, we et again,” Pu Langte greeted with a feigned smile.
“Yes, we et again,” Cao Chengxiang smiled and waved his hand, “I guessed you’d co to see the ‘Tarxin Defense Network,’ but I didn’t expect you to co only now; you’re a bit slower than I thought.”
“The na of this net is ‘Tarxin Defense Network’?” The three of them focused their attention on the net.
“You didn’t know?” Cao Chengxiang seed surprised, “This net has been deployed for so long, I thought you would have figured it out by now, but it seems your information gathering abilities are really poor!”
“We do not have many channels to obtain this kind of information,” Pu Langte ignored the mockery in Cao Chengxiang’s tone.
He flew next to the Tarxin Defense Network and pressed his hand against it.
The golden panel of the defense net touched his palm, and Pu Langte did not feel any retaliation.
To his touch, it was like encountering a smooth surface of ordinary glass, but this “mirror” was much sturdier than glass. He pressed lightly, and the golden panel remained immovable.
Seeing Pu Langte’s action, Cao Chengxiang smiled and said, “This is a defense net specially designed by the Holy Silver Federation to deal with the cosmic bug race. No joke, this net alone could defend against you for hundreds of years without a problem!”
“Hundreds of years? What joke is this?” Manina and Manina III showed disbelief, thinking Cao Chengxiang was rely talking nonsense.
Actually, their disbelief was not because they knew the defense capabilities of the Tarxin Defense Network, but because they were aware that the Blue Star People could not possibly have obtained a defense weapon that could hold them off for hundreds of years.
After all, there were principles of the balance of war to consider. Su Yu may have exchanged thousands of credits for sothing quite powerful, but it could not seriously disrupt the balance of the entire war.
Therefore, the defense net was most likely sothing that they should be able to overco with enough effort.
