Chapter 333 - The Confrontation I (1/2)

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Ace immediately woke up after hearing Avalon's alarm…

[ We have 10 minutes left before we arrive at ESN1 Asteroid. ]

”Very well… Have the automatons activated and inform the pilots to standby in their Mech Knights.”

[ Affirmative. ]

Ace stretched out for a bit as he truly had a good nap as if they are not going to war.

[ The automatons and the Mech Knights are ready. ]

It didn't take long before the preparation to sortie was completed.

Ace was already seated at the Captain's Seat within the bridge and saw everything…

”Alright… Go ahead and open the Linear Catapult… Let them complete their task.”

[ Affirmative. We will start with the First Mech Knight Division followed by the Second Division that will carry the Mind Stone Mines before we will send out the automatons with the Mana Artifacts. ]

”Go ahead… Proceed with that arrangement.”

There are already planted space mines in this region and their only task was to add the Mana Artifact Traps and Mind Stone Mines stealthily… Of course, these space mines weren't stationary and can slowly move according to their will…

As long as someone has a strong Arcane Link, it wouldn't be difficult in controlling them…

[ We still have 45 hours before we get into their scanning range. ]

”I see… We have plenty of time. Tell the pilots not to get too pressured. Just place all the traps carefully… Right, Freya should've given missions similar to this, correct?”

[ Yes. However, only about 40 players managed to reach that level. ]

”That little? Well, it should be fine… Just guide them in case something went wrong…”

[ Affirmative. ]

Well, the second part of the game, or the Alien Invasion: Moon Project was quite complicated so he understands why only a select few can trigger difficult missions.

Hilda and her team were sent out first to survey the area…

They needed to ensure the safety of the next Mech Knights and Automatons that will be launching out.

After all, they will be carrying extremely valuable materials to halt the advance of the Empire…

They have to do this perfectly or they will suffer.

”It's clear…”

”Sector B clear…”

”Launching Observer Wards…”

[ All Green. Sending the Second Knight Division. ]

Avalon followed up as they smoothly continued the operation.

Ace was monitoring everything as the automatons went out to install the 5th Gen Mana Artifacts…

After one of them was placed in its position, Ace closed his eyes and tried sensing it…

He couldn't feel any Mana from it… He used the Excellence's radar and didn't find anything wrong with it…

It is completely 'invisible'… The solidified blood was working really well…
