Chapter 470: Chapter 289: Commence Operation!
“The war is about to begin!” He Xingzhou immediately relayed the message, “The enemy is about to reach the Solar System, begin operations!”
A massive ground factory rose up on Pluto.
This seemingly ordinary factory was actually a spaceship with a propulsion engine, taking countless mechanical equipment away from Pluto.
Simultaneously, thousands of transport ships and millions of transport vessels shuttled back and forth on Pluto, moving all the extracted resources.
After years of exploitative mining, most useful resources on this planet were exhausted, leaving only ordinary rocks and water ice.
“Have the humans left?” The Nether Sea Master, hiding underground for two years, noticed human movements.
“Damn it, this planet was resource-poor to begin with, and in these two years, they’ve turned Pluto into a barren world! These should have been mine!”
The Nether Sea Master harbored resentment; even if humans left, it suffered significant losses.
“Should I leave?” The Nether Sea Master hesitated on whether to take this opportunity to escape.
For two years, it tried various methods to escape without success.
“Forget it.” The Nether Sea Master noticed the Red Moon still in space; as long as that Space Fortress was there, it couldn’t leave.
On Pluto, there were also some small spy bugs, spies from other planetary Zerg, also observing human actions.
“Humans seem to be leaving Pluto!”
“Their warships and spacecraft haven’t returned to Blue Star but are heading towards deeper space away from the Sun.”
The Planet Devourers were puzzled too, “Are humans planning to head to another Star System?”
“Track them, investigate thoroughly!”
The average Zerg lacks space flight capability; only Planet Giant Beasts or Planet Dominators can scout.
But these bugs, due to their large size, were easily detected by humans, rendering Zerg reconnaissance ineffective.
In the Kuiper Belt, 3 billion kilometers from Pluto, there is a dense cluster of asteroids.
Massive chunks of asteroids drifted in space, some larger than Star Destroyers; if they were more massive, they could become dwarf planets like Pluto.
The Blue Star Alliance fleet was hidden here, referred to as the Solar System Outpost, located on the Solar System’s edge, able to promptly detect enemy information and dispatch troops quickly.
He Xingzhou was inside the outpost, mobilizing patrol satellites exchanged from the Order Alliance around, closely monitoring the Pleiades Fleet’s position.
“The Nether Sea Master is getting restless, and the Neptune Worm Clan seems to be making moves too,” reported Cui Weimin, responsible for intelligence.
“Soon, once we detect their traces, we will act.”
With reconnaissance ship coordinates provided by the Black Sea Civilization, He Xingzhou could purposefully deploy reconnaissance satellites.
In the outer Solar System, reconnaissance ships stationed here two years ago were heading towards He Xingzhou’s coordinates.
Captain Ouyang Bo’s nerves were tense; if all went well, they were about to encounter the enemy fleet.
Ouyang Bo had the opportunity to enter the Virtual Universe’s Civilization Arena for simulated combat training; the various weapons and tactics of other civilizations deeply shocked him.
This time, the attacking enemies are the Tianhe Civilization, a 1.8-level civilization, and the Sirius Civilization, a 1.9-level civilization, both possessing planet-level top-tier weapons, the Star Destroyer.
One combat error could lead to civilization’s utter disaster!
“Captain, reconnaissance satellite detected a target!” an observer urgently reported.
They deployed several hundred billion reconnaissance satellites, and one captured a warship heading towards the Solar System at seventy percent of light speed.
“Send a warning, the enemy is attacking! Continue deploying reconnaissance satellites!” Ouyang Bo hurriedly contacted the command center, sending the target’s coordinates and, along with nearby warships, continued reconnaissance.
As they detected the enemy, the enemy also detected them.
“Detected a Blue Star Civilization reconnaissance satellite, destroyed!” reported the Sirius Civilization reconnaissance ship.
At this moment, the Tianhe Civilization Fleet and Sirius Civilization Fleet had already merged.
Rafael and Grey Wolf each aboard their Star Destroyers, were communicating.
“They were indeed prepared!” Grey Wolf was not surprised, “The Black Sea Civilization’s reconnaissance ship has been following us, likely already selling our information to the Blue Star Civilization.”
“Be careful; this Blue Star Civilization is not simple, especially their Commander Chengfeng!” Rafael, having been defeated before, was particularly wary of He Xingzhou.
“Rafael, you are too cautious!” The communication channel included other civilizations members of the Maoshi Star Union, such as Dan Daster, Cage, and Ruger.
Dan Daster discontentedly said, “In the Virtual Universe, you took too long, allowing Chengfeng to win!”
Ruger criticized as well, “Dan Daster is right, Rafael, Grey Wolf, just attack.”
“The Black Sea Civilization is reconnoitering your information, and our main civilization has explored the Solar System information as well.”
“Currently, the Blue Star Civilization occupies Mercury, Venus, Blue Star, and Mars, while Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus are Zerg territories.”
“These Zerg have already evolved to Planet Devourers; before we eliminate the Blue Star Civilization, don’t provoke them.”
“If a Mature Planet Devourer appears, even Star Destroyers are hard to handle.”
