Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting Chapter 982: Reconnaissance Blockade Network

Chapter 982: Reconnaissance Blockade Network

TL: GoldenLung

Although the Federation was continuously developing its resource extraction capabilities, the resources it controlled were still limited. In this regard, the Dragon Horse galaxy had a huge advantage.

In recent years, the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed clans had also focused on researching wars.h.i.+p technology and have already developed some of their own wars.h.i.+ps. Although they could ot yet compare with the wars.h.i.+ps of the Douluo Federation, they had already taken shape. Their biggest advantage lay in the abundant resources of the Dragon Horse galaxy. Once given enough time, the Dragon Horse galaxy could develop energy cores such as the Dragon Source Crystal, and the innovation speed for wars.h.i.+p development would surely accelerate. With an overwhelming domination in resources, with a few hundred years at most, the Dragon Horse galaxy would be able to catch up with human technology. At that time, it would ring the end for the Federation.

The Federation had always known about this outcome, but the aftermath of a full-scale war was too great, and the parliament dared not make a hasty decision, so they could only focus on developing themselves, which caused delays.

However, the Dragon Source Crystal incident had a huge impact on the Federation. They had not yet taken action, but the Celestial Dragon Clan had already made a move against the Federation. If they continued to wait, the Federation would become increasingly pa.s.sive. It was time to turn the tables and take the initiative.

They had to take action to suppress the development of the Dragon Horse galaxy, otherwise, the development speed of the Douluo Federation would not keep up with theirs. Even though the wars.h.i.+ps developed by the Dragon Horse galaxy were still relatively weak, with enough resources, they could manufacture a far larger number of s.p.a.ce fleets than the Douluo Federation in a short period. By then, it would be too late to act, especially since the Dragon Horse galaxy had many top-tier experts, including the Celestial Dragon Clan and the Celestial Steed Clan who both had super G.o.d-rank experts.

Therefore, after a series of secret meetings, the Federation finally pa.s.sed the order to launch war against the Dragon Horse galaxy. This was not going to be the decisive battle, but a war of attrition. The operational goal was to weaken the strength of the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed Planets, with a focus on targeting their achievements in wars.h.i.+p manufacturing.

The Federation had also been conducting reconnaissance on the Dragon Horse galaxy, and they were well aware of the locations of some important military bases. These places were the targets of their attack this time.

"The First and Second s.p.a.ce Fleet are also approaching the Dragon Horse galaxy as our support forces. The military's order this time is one word: fast. We need to launch a lightning quick attack on the Dragon Horse galaxy, destroying their military and research facilities as much as possible. If possible, we will also conduct some resource looting."

Shen Junjie furrowed his brows and said, "Captain, what about the reconnaissance blockade network when we launch this attack? Once we make a move, the reconnaissance blockade network will definitely not remain intact. If enemy powerhouses infiltrate the federal territory, it will be big trouble."

Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice, "We can't worry about that now. Our attack will be sudden, and the enemy may not react in time. At the same time, the Federation has already notified the War G.o.d Temple, the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and other forces. If any powerhouses from the Dragon Horse galaxy infiltrate the Federation, they will unite to resist them."

Lan Xuanyu had been standing quietly at the end, and he had already understood somewhat.

The positions guarded by the Federal Fleet were all releasing reconnaissance blockades. This was a kind of super radar device that could cover vast star territories. Once an enemy entered this range, they would be discovered and even locked onto as soon as possible.

The Federation had been blockading the powerful members of the Dragon and Celestial Steed clans in this way to prevent possible attacks on the Federation from within. That was probably why the Head of the Dragon Star only launched a projection attack.

As for the Sin Planet, it was probably not considered enough of a threat, so there was no such blockade. Otherwise, how could s.p.a.ce pirates still be able to raid within the Federation? It was simply impossible.

If the Seventh Fleet launched an attack now, the reconnaissance blockade network would become incomplete, and there would be a possibility of enemy powerhouses breaking into the Federation. But for the sake of this military operation, it was probably not a concern.

In this war, the core objective was destruction, to destroy as many military bases in the Dragon Horse galaxy as possible. The current target was set at 10, with 38 of them being large targets. Resource acquisition was a secondary objective. Therefore, after the war started, while launching frontal attacks, infiltration attacks would focus on these targets. Some places required landing operations. The firepower of the mothers.h.i.+p would be used to suppress the Celestial Dragon Planet and Celestial Steed Planet. At the same time, special tactics would be employed to lure the enemy deep into our territory, thereby inflicting heavy damage on them and suppressing their strong forces. Regarding the landing operations, speed was of the essence.

"General Shen," Yan Xinghe's gaze turned towards Shen Junjie as he spoke.

"Here!" Shen Junjie immediately stood at attention.

"Our Dragon Three Operations Department will be under your command. This landing operation is the best opportunity to gain merit. Your orders will determine the success of our brothers' efforts. I believe this type of battle is also most suitable for you."

"Understood, I will ensure the completion of the mission," Shen Junjie said in a deep voice.

Yan Xinghe said, "Our Seventh Fleet will lead the attack this time, lure the enemy deep, and annihilate them. We will mainly rely on ourselves. The specific details of the operation are still cla.s.sified. The landing troops should be prepared to start the landing operation immediately after achieving the established goals on the main battlefield."

"Yes!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted.

Lan Xuanyu quickly followed suit.

Although Admiral Yan Xinghe never explicitly stated what the mission was or how the fleet would attack, he could vaguely guess that it was probably related to the Dragon Source Crystal.

When he discovered the situation with the Dragon Source Crystal, he was immediately attacked by the projection of the leader of Celestial Dragon Planet, and the final blow threw them into a star. At least from the other party's perspective, the possibility of his own destruction was very high.

After receiving the news, the Federation didn't know how it was done, but they thought it wouldn't alarm the Dragon Horse galaxy. And to launch a war so quickly, with such a short time for preparation, it was just the right time for themselves. He didn't believe that it had nothing to do with the Dragon Source Crystal incident.

Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu nodded secretly in his heart. The Federation's decision making speed was still very quick. If they could use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Horse galaxy, it would also be helping him get revenge. The pain he had endured before would not be in vain.

"Lan Xuanyu, Major General." While Lan Xuanyu was thinking, Yan Xinghe's voice suddenly came. At the same time, the gaze of all the officers present fell on Lan Xuanyu.

"Yes." Lan Xuanyu stood at attention.

Yan Xinghe said in a low voice, "Your team will also partic.i.p.ate in this landing operation, and important tasks will be a.s.signed to you. Any questions?"

"No problem, we guarantee to complete the task," Lan Xuanyu immediately replied. When he thought about being able to partic.i.p.ate in such a large-scale battle, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Yan Xinghe smiled slightly and said, "Okay. The meeting is adjourned. The specific actions will be sent to each department in a confidential manner. Everyone, be prepared. The mobilization order will be issued later. You can all leave now, except for Major General Lan Xuanyu."

Everyone saluted again and the military meeting ended.

The other senior officers of Dragon Three went off to their respective duties, while Yan Xinghe waved to Lan Xuanyu, signaling him to come over.

Lan Xuanyu took a few steps forward and came to Yan Xinghe's side. This was his first time meeting the captain, so he wasn't familiar with him.

Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "General Yu Muchen introduced you to me personally. I rarely hear him praise someone so much. It's clear that you're different from others."

Lan Xuanyu immediately understood why he was a.s.signed to Dragon Three. It seemed that Yan Xinghe and General Yu Muchen belonged to the same faction in the military. No wonder they a.s.signed him here, was it to take special care of him?
