The Petrachelys was quietly suspended in space. A few kilometers down below was the gigantic energy shield of the Naqdal Continent. The fortress, built on the foundation of a space continent, was moving out from the inspection array. The land filled with temples, artillery, factories, and drone hangers was moving slowly below the spacecraft. On the real-time screen onboard the Petrachelys, it looked like the scene of a moving steel jungle.
“It is an incredible miracle.” Y’zaks was amazed. The old demon might no longer lead his army to war, but the awe-inspiring war machine still earned his praise. “In my homeworld, the scale of this thing is large enough to accommodate a few kingdoms. But here, it is a mobile weapon that carries some devastating power.”
“Agodal is even bigger than this.” Lily lay in the chair, wagging her tail and watching the holographic image. “And the planetary fortress is still perfectly intact and better than this fragment what is only one-third of its original size.”
“It is called the sense of accomplishment; don’t you understand?” Hao Ren glanced at the husky. “It was the drones and me who built up Naqdal while Agodal was built by the giants. How could they be the same?”
Lily thought for a moment. “I do not see the difference. You see, I don’t cook, but I still enjoy the stewed pork ribs that Vivian cooks. Is it not, Battie?”
Vivian replied with her arms crossed. “I have told you that it is not possible to knock sense into her.”
“The Guardian Legion has been deployed. As per the plan, the Agodal will remain near the Heart, and the Naqdal will be the only large fortress in this operation,” said Nolan with reports and images of the Guardian Legion next to her holographic image. “The new structures at the southern tip of the continent are working well, and the structural force field stabilizers and inertia suppressors are working normally. It is the first time we apply battleship technologies on a pile of rocks and buildings. But they work pretty well. after all, the principle is the same.”
Hao Ren nodded and looked at the lights that lit up gradually on the Naqdal Continent. “The real test will only begin during the combat.”
The massive space continent began to accelerate slowly under the powerful force of the large thrusters. The engineering drones had fixed the large cracks and exposed pipes and machines on the base of the continent. Shiny silver-white armor belts had covered up the fissures, and a massive array of thrusters, weapon modules, and drone factories was on the connecting bridges and at the tips of the continental skeleton. Coupled with the secondary psionic guns, the Naqdal fortress looked a lot bigger than before.
Indeed, it was too big and over the top. On the southern part of the continent, there was an extension structure of metal frames and bridges connecting to an ‘island,’ which was essentially an asteroid. It was as if a satellite nestled next to the Naqdal, full of artillery and energy arrays, and an external weapon bay.
It was a planet-class weapon bay.
Around Naqdal, a large swarm of drones had formed a spherical formation that held Naqdal in the center, as if they had made the broken planet whole again. It looked incredible in space.
Further afield was the Guardian Legion. Salaman was onboard the Aiur and leading his army in front with thousands of mothership-class black battleships and tens of thousands of escorts flying in a neat formation as they left the gravitational berths of Agodal. After leaving the berth, they seemed to spread out chaotically as the formation was preparing for wrap jump.
Unlike the drones that could form a compound protective force field, the battleships of the guardians would deliberately make it as if they were chaotic and without a formation to increase the survival rate of the battle group. It was a common strategy of those interstellar civilizations that had not mastered the joint-shield technology. Of course, those clowns who did not have a compound shield, quantitative advantage, and absolute strength yet were still keen on pressing the A key were excepted.
The holographic image of Salaman popped up on the communicator. The old giant nodded to Vivian. “The Lord of the Throne, the Guardian Legion is ready to go to battle at your command.”
“I have told you many times; call me by my name.” Vivian sighed helplessly. “Argh, forget it. Call whatever you like. As I have said before, I do not know anything about commanding an army. So, you and your military strategists will be solely responsible for that. Your mission is to work together with the drone army. Your main task is to attack with the drone corps and build the fortification outside the destruction of Amantier. After receiving our news, we will prepare for it. can.”
Salaman nodded slightly, but hesitated to say: “We can bear more…”
“Your mission is simple yet meaningful.” Vivian interrupted. “The operation is not to clash with the enemy head-on this time. This is a special operation. Do you understand?”
The giant general bowed his head. “Yes, at your command.”
After the call ended, Hao Ren saw continuous flashes in the direction of the Guardian Legion. It was a sign that the battle fleet had entered the warp space. He turned to Nolan and nodded gently. “Land on the southern island of Naqdal. Let’s roll.”
A moment later, the Naqdal fortress and the entire drone cluster had entered a sparkling space distortion field and disappeared altogether in space in the blink of an eye.
After the interference and vibration of the teleportation subsided, the battle group had come to a whole new region of space.
