Chapter 658 (2/2)
Lan Qing’s troubled voice continued “We can’t underestimate them, the aliens may very well be smarter than we are Come with me, now isn’t the time to mobilize An Lun Is the Star Division ready for deployment?”
“Let me check with the Wine Master for instructions,” he said The co before the Wine Master answered
“Jewelry Master, aliens have been sighted on Lyr The soldiers garrisoned there have already engaged the enemy, but they need reinforcements We can respond quickest, so prepare Star Division for dispatch”
“I heard the news from General Lan,” he said “We’ll leave as soon as we can I’ll tell the Division to get ready You stay here and look after the Avenue, and et out We mustn’t let the West or North know We’ll handle it”
The sudden tense situation shattered Lan Jue’s calm He was ready for action He fired off a series of orders through his coh the atmosphere toward Lyr
Skyfire wasn’t far from Lyr Majesty was further away at An Lun but at top speed it would arrive at roughly the same ti’s transport He was bringing an elite squad of mecha pilots
Lan Jue connected with his brother’s shi+p through the bridge’s main controls
“General Lan, please share the information you’ve received with us” The two brothers faced each other through the screen
“I’ it now,” he answered
For this excursion only Su Xiaosu of Zeus’ A, the others remained behind to look after the stores They knew the market better than anyone
Besides Xiaosu, the Driver had also co The Wine Master, Clockmaker, Keeper, and Bookworm had all remained on Skyfire Lan Jue also didn’t trouble his parents Preliested the invaders were typical breeds, none of the stronger ones There was no need to bother the two strongest humans alive Lan Jue and his brother had also sensed a problem the last tireement not to trouble him unless necessary
The Accountant wasn’t on Zeus-1 because he had been left on An Lun to iron out their plans for electronic warfare He’d taken well to the role, and in fact was an entirely different person than when Lan Jue had first met him Noas one of the most important people in the Division Since Xiaosu had returned to Skyfire with Lan Jue, he had been left in charge of the Division together with the Bartender and Coffee Master
Lan Jue had told them about the crisis on Lyr moments after he’d learned about it Majesty was already on the way
A data upload began It wasn’t es There were soes, and that was all Su Xiaosu opened the files so Lan Jue and the Driver could examine them
Judging by the satellite is didn’t look too bad There were a few s dramatic After so many encounters they knew the aliens tactics The more their caustic power covered the planet, the more dire the situation So far it wasn’t an occupation
The environment was different on Lyr than it was on Taihua, the last Eastern planet visited by these creatures Taihua was a tourist planet, its population was few and far between to protect the planet’s environh it had a relatively small landmass, there was a stationed military presence The closest interstellar fleet had already responded
Ies fro froan to terrorize the population
“What do you think? You have a plan?” Lan Qing asked
Lan Jue studied the pictures with furrowed brow “On the surface it doesn’t look bad Typical invasion procedures, froenitor It infiltrates the planet and starts to gather vital energy to create its soldiers They in turn spread out and gather row stronger So long as the progenitor remains alive and life remains, it’s soldiers never stop If there are first responders left they should use theirsystems to sweep the ocean beds”
Lan Qing responded “They have sonar, but you know that Lyr’s oceans are full of power genetic fields they release will interfere with their systeht now the soldiers are busy trying to ste, but the corruption is spreading fast A fair amount of area has already died Transport shi+ps have already begun evacuating civilians and two small fleets are on their way In six hours they will have a few mecha units to shore them up until we arrive”
“Alright We proceed full speed ahead and try to get there as soon as possible” Speed was the best option Thankfully the East was ready for war, so their response was quick If they hadn’t been waiting for it, it could have taken them three days to muster a defense
