Chapter 544 Second Phase of the Mutation Disaster (2/2)
”We do not know how many fleets are under DarkStar's command, but we have to spread our forces to protect the calamity planets,” Nagakin replied helplessly. ”Our forces are truly lacking. This is DarkStar's scheme to force us to split our forces. While the battle is currently a stalemate, as long as DarkStar is willing to send out the majority of their forces to attack a calamity planet, it will be impossible for us to block them. Thus, the situation isn't good.”
”Do you guys have a way to deal with that?”
”We do.” Nagakin nodded. ”With regards to our forces being spread thinly and the distance being far, the War Bureau decided to set up a Military Orbit Quantum Leap Station. It will be set up in a few days' time.”
”What is that?” Bennett asked with doubt.
Han Xiao thought for a moment before saying, ”You can treat it like a transportation portal for military use.”
The Military Orbit Quantum Leap Station was a strategic weapon during intergalactic battles. Within a certain range, it was able to lock onto the coordinates of two different regions and create a transportation channel between the two locations. It would allow fleets that were far away from each other to quickly reinforce their allies.
This station was like a large space fortress, and the technical requirements of constructing it were extremely high. Only advanced civilizations that knew how to construct a stable stargate would be able to construct it. The Military Orbit Quantum Leap Station of Godora had been purchased from an advanced civilization within the Shattered Star Ring and was extremely precious.
In order to construct a Military Orbit Quantum Leap Station, the transportation coordinates of the various locations had to be anchored down properly, and the Military Orbit Quantum Leap Station needed to be situated in the middle of these coordinates. It was like the middle of a spider web with the web spreading far and wide.
With this facility, Godora would be able to cover up its weakness of having its fleet being scattered across the various calamity planets. These fleets would be able to aid each other, and if any of the planets were attacked, reinforcements would be able to arrive within two to three minutes. As such, the ambushes of DarkStar would no longer be a threat to them.
Since the War Bureau was willing to make use of this strategic weapon, it meant that they did not wish to be on the passive side.
Han Xiao frowned and said, ”This is an expensive strategic weapon, and DarkStar will definitely attack the station.”
”The enemy will definitely do so.” Nagakin was not worried.
Since the War Bureau dared use the station, it naturally meant that they would arrange sufficient protection for the station. It could be said that they had even grasped the initiative. Even if the whereabouts of DarkStar could not be traced, they would definitely attack the station. As such, they would be able to grasp the enemy's actions and make preparations.
A flash could be seen in Han Xiao's eyes, and he shook his head.
In truth, Godora was not truly anxious yet. While the DarkStar ambushes had resulted in some loss for Godora, the ones who had suffered the most were the calamity planets. Godora's foundations were not shaken, and the Godorans thought that they were still able to control the situation.
However, he knew that DarkStar would not be so easily dealt with.
With the appearance of the station, DarkStar should be moving on to the next step of their plan.
Just when Nagakin wanted to say something else, a commotion sounded from the outside from afar.
The next moment, the commotion grew larger and larger as it approached them. Like a tsunami, the commotion covered the entire Sanctuary!
Boom!
The ground began to shake, and the windows could be seen trembling slightly from the commotion. Bennett stood up with a face full of doubt.
”What's happening‽”
Bennett hurriedly turned on the screen in the conference room, and the images of the various locations in the Sanctuary were shown. The Sanctuary that had been in an orderly state was in complete chaos, and the Mutation Disaster had exploded once again. Even those refugees who had been injected with the suppressants began to act up.
The situation on the outside of the Sanctuary was even worse, and even the guards of the Sanctuary began to fall ill.
Without anyone to maintain security, the calm that had been formed through great difficulty collapsed.
Millions of people turned violent, and their voices flooded the Sanctuary like a tsunami!
Squeezing, roaring, fighting…
Apart from a messy battle, the majority of them were running around crazily, and they tried to escape from the Sanctuary. It was as though the Sanctuary was a frightening location, and they wanted to escape to the outside. Those escaping formed a long trail, and they charged out of the Sanctuary in all directions. There were some who tumbled onto the ground and were instantly swallowed by the endless crowd.
The players were completely dumbfounded. Very quickly, some of them realized that the mission progress of their [Mutation Disaster] mission had fallen rapidly!
”Th—This…”
This sudden chaos stunned even Bennett and Nagakin.
Han Xiao's gaze turned cold, and he stood up with a solemn expression.
”This is… the second phase!”
