Chapter 1103 Contact Defense Network

"Your Majesty, the reconnaissance airships are heavily damaged and can no longer support subsequent reconnaissance missions." At the Fuji Mountain Headquarters, AI Blue Devourer reported the situation to Manina.

Manina is still sitting in the headquarters room, and opposite him is an electronic map that can display the real-time dynamics of the reconnaissance airship group.

Originally, there were 300 small red dots on the electronic map moving along the established route. These small red dots were the reconnaissance airships he sent out.

But now all these red dots have deviated from the route, and even many red dots have disappeared and completely lost contact with the headquarters.

After hearing Blue's report, Manina asked in a deep voice: "Blue, how many reconnaissance airships have we lost?"

AI Blue immediately replied: "So far, we have lost a total of 78.

The [Ice Shooter], [Corn Pitcher], [Ice Watermelon Pitcher] and [Clover] planted by the Blue Star people are too dense. The airships can't withstand such dense attacks. Not only are they damaged in large quantities, but even 1% of the reconnaissance mission has not been completed."

"Is it so difficult?" Hearing this, Manina sighed.

He shook his head with a gloomy face and said: "Forget it, let the remaining reconnaissance airships come back. The reconnaissance airships have lost their function. Let's change another way to conduct reconnaissance."

In fact, reconnaissance airships are not so useless. Even if there are demonized plants everywhere, airships can still easily complete reconnaissance missions.

The reconnaissance airships made by the Skrulls are made of high-quality materials, and the solid fuselage made of polymer materials can support ultra-high-altitude operations.

The airships can completely fly above the stratosphere of the Blue Star and fly to an altitude of 10,000 to 20,000 meters to carry out reconnaissance activities. At such a high altitude, the bullets of the demonized plants can't hit them at all.

But the situation is different now. There is a golden defense net above the reconnaissance airship.

Because of the existence of this golden giant net, the reconnaissance airship cannot fly very high, one or two kilometers is the limit.

At such a low altitude, the bullets of the demonized plants can hit them completely, and even most of the third-level plants can easily hit one or two kilometers without the wind assistance of the [Clover].

Because of this, the reconnaissance airships are so powerless under the threat of demonized plants and are destroyed in large numbers.

Up to now, the reconnaissance airship is completely useless, and they can only take other methods to continue reconnaissance.

What method should be used?

Manina thought about it and ordered the AI ​​Blue Devouring: "Blue Devouring, notify Lanqi to send 20 seventh-level practitioners to complete the reconnaissance mission."

Since the reconnaissance airship is useless, he can only let high-level strongmen take on the reconnaissance mission.

Seventh-level practitioners will still be hit by the bullets of demonized plants when they fly at an altitude of one or two kilometers.

But compared to the reconnaissance airship, these ordinary bullets can't break the defense of the seventh-level practitioners at all, and the deceleration effect is almost zero. The strong wind blown by [Clover] has no effect on them.

So sending a seventh-level strongman will definitely be able to complete the reconnaissance smoothly.

At the same time, Manina once again instructed AI Blue Devouring: "Blue Devouring, also notify the ancestors and Mr. Plant, the three of us will go to the golden giant net together to take a look."

Now, it's time to take a look at the golden giant net.

Before, they didn't touch the golden giant net because they were sealed by the first line of defense of the Blue Star people, and they couldn't touch it without breaking the line of defense.

Now that the first line of defense has been broken, it's time for the Skrulls to understand what this golden giant net is.

...

10 minutes later, 20 seventh-level Skrull practitioners flew out of the first line of defense and flew in all directions.

They all carried three or four reconnaissance devices of various sizes on their bodies, which could take pictures of everything within their sight.

At the same time, Manina, Manina III and Plant took off and flew more than 2,000 meters above the ground, approaching the golden giant net.

But just as they approached the golden giant net, Plant immediately found that Cao Cao, the peak of the Blue Star God level, was smiling at them on the opposite side of the giant net.

But Cao Cao was the only one on the opposite side, and the other Blue Star God levels did not come.

"Haha, Cao Cao, we meet again." Plant slowly approached him, and at the same time, with a fake smile, he greeted him across the defense net.

"Yes, we meet again." Prime Minister Cao was very calm. He smiled and waved to Plant and the other two, saying, "I knew you would come to the 'Taxin Defense Net' to see, how is it? Spectacular, right?"

Prime Minister Cao waved his hand again, and the golden defense net made a beautiful humming sound like a string plucked by the wind.

Manina's eyes narrowed: "'Taxin Defense Network'? This network is called 'Taxin Defense Network'?"

"Oh? You don't know yet?" Prime Minister Cao was a little surprised: "This network has been set up for so long, I thought you had already checked the name of the network, but I didn't expect your information collection ability to be so poor!"

"We are not as powerful as you think." Plant ignored the sarcasm in Prime Minister Cao's tone.

He flew to the side of the Taxin Defense Network and put his hand on it directly.

The orange panel of the defense network touched his palm, and Plant didn't feel anything unusual.

From his touch, it felt like touching an ordinary glass mirror, very smooth.

However, this "mirror" is much harder than glass. He pressed it lightly, and the orange panel did not move at all.

Seeing Plant's actions, Prime Minister Cao continued to smile and said, "This is the defense net that the Holy Silver Federation uses to deal with the cosmic Zerg. I'm not kidding. With this defense net alone, it won't be a problem to defend you for hundreds of years!"

"Hundreds of years? Are you kidding me!" Manina and Manina III on the side were both unconvinced. They thought it was completely nonsense.

This is not because they have seen the defensive capabilities of the Tower Xin Defense Net, but because they know that the Blue Star people can't get the kind of defense net that can defend them for hundreds of years.

After all, the "principle of fairness in war" is there. Even if the things that Su Yu exchanged for thousands of credits are very powerful, it is impossible to seriously affect the balance of the entire war.

According to their speculation, although the defense of this defense net is not very bad, it is not the kind that they can't break through at all.

As long as they work hard, they should be able to break through the defense net without spending too much money.

...

"Manina, try the strength of the defense net." Plant winked at Manina in front of the defense net.

"Understood." Manina agreed.

He immediately cast the instant seventh-level spiritual art - [Eye of Destruction].

A bright red hot light burst out from his staff and hit the orange baffle in front of him like a laser.

Zizi - Zizi -

The light collided with the orange baffle and made a harsh sound, and a series of sparks burst out.

But this instant spiritual art did not penetrate the orange baffle.

The bright red light lasted for about minutes. In this half minute, the accumulated damage of the light was no less than Manina's full-strength attack.

But the orange baffle was still intact, and there was no significant change in appearance.

It was just that a series of bright red marks appeared on the panel of the baffle along the path of the light, confirming that the spell had hit it.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Cao's face did not change much.

He could see the real-time defense value of the defense network. From the time Manina's spell hit to the end, the durability of the orange panel never dropped below 80%, which means that Manina is still far from breaking the barrier.

Plant and Manina III frowned at the same time.

They both knew Manina's true strength very well.

Although Manina's apparent strength was at the upper level of the seventh rank, the power of his instantaneous spiritual arts was not small.

Manina's equipment was the best on Skru Star, as were his skills and various auxiliary spellcasting tools. The cane in his hand was made of a treasure handed down from generation to generation, which even the god-level strong envied.

When this move [Destroying Spirit Eyes] was released, the cumulative damage was no less than the full-strength attack of an ordinary seventh-level peak!

But now, [Destroying Spirit Eyes] could not even cause substantial damage to the orange barrier, let alone break through the barrier.

This also means that it must be an attack method above the god-level.

"Let me do it." Manina III said in a deep voice.

Without waiting for Plant's answer, he took out a huge blue hammer from his space ring.

He swung the hammer gently, and the hammer, which was already very large, grew larger again in the wind, and in an instant it became a giant hammer that was 20 to 30 meters long and 5 to 6 meters thick!

There were spikes on the tip of the giant hammer, and the azure blue mixed with pure white light flowed slowly on the spikes. Faintly, Prime Minister Cao could still hear the rumbling sound like thunder.

From the appearance alone, this hammer was extraordinary.

Without waiting for others to react, Manina III swung the hammer and smashed it towards the orange baffle.

His speed was extremely fast. If it was recorded as a video, people could see that he only took one frame, and the giant hammer hit the orange baffle like teleportation. Whether it was a video with 24 frames per second or a video with 60 frames per second, there was only one frame.

Boom--

In the violent collision, countless golden ripples immediately exploded on the orange baffle.

Dazzling golden light rippled from the point where the giant hammer landed, illuminating everything around it brilliantly.

However, Manina III did not stop there.

Although his attack just now was very fast, the force used was not strong, only the level of an ordinary god-level full-strength attack.

And it was obvious that this attack did not break the orange baffle.

From the reverse force from the giant hammer, Manina III could clearly feel that after this attack, the orange baffle was still strong.

So he immediately changed a baffle and swung the hammer again, hitting a heavy second hammer.

The second hammer was completely different from the first one. This time he used his full strength, a full-strength hammer of a peak god-level strongman!

Bang!

The giant hammer collided with the orange baffle, and the surrounding space shook violently.

Crack~

This time the orange baffle finally couldn't bear the weight, and it broke under the blow of the giant hammer, exploding into golden dust all over the sky.

Seeing the orange baffle being shattered, Manina III was ecstatic!

He laughed loudly: "Haha, only one attack can penetrate the defense net, it seems that your defense net is just so-so!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Cao was unmoved.

He replied indifferently: "But this is your full-strength attack. If the full-strength attack of the peak god level can't penetrate the defense net, you really can't win this war."

The orange baffle was broken, and a clear gap appeared in the tower fire defense net.

Facing this gap, Manina III subconsciously wanted to drill through.

But before he acted, he instantly realized that he couldn't go through now!

Now he will definitely be besieged once he passes.

Even if he went there with Plante and Manina III, he still wouldn't be a god-level opponent of Blue Star.

So he quickly moved away from the gap and returned to Plante and Manina.

Just when he left, in just one second, the energy around the orange baffle gathered towards the gap, and the baffle quickly returned to its original state, exactly as it was at the beginning.

Seeing the barrier restored so quickly, the smile on Manina III's face quickly disappeared.

This recovery speed is too fast!

He just broke it and recovered in more than a second?

Of course, more than one second is enough time for a god to pass through the gap, or even enough time for 10 god levels to pass through one after another.

But this recovery speed makes it impossible for ordinary troops to pass.

"The recovery speed of this baffle is a bit fast!" Manina III was very surprised. He used his mental power to communicate with the other two people: "I don't know if all the baffles recover so fast, or because the Blue Star people mobilized the defense network. All the energy is dedicated to restoring this baffle, which is why this baffle recovers so quickly. "

"You should use all your energy to focus on recovery." Plante judged: "Otherwise, it would be too scary."

"But this is already terrifying." Manina responded with mental power: "The barrier recovers so quickly, which means that our army cannot pass at all."

"That's not necessarily the case." Plante was very calm: "When we push the battle line to the edge of the defense network, then we will take action together, with the fleet's firepower and the cracking ray flood tower, we can attack several in an instant Even more than a dozen gaps.

I don't believe that the Blue Star people can repair so many gaps so quickly. As long as they don't repair them in time, we can let the army pass easily. "

"That's right. When it comes to energy consumption, our Skrull still has a lot of advantages."

The three Maninas talked to each other and discussed with each other mentally.

By now they have fully understood the defensive power of the tower defense network. To sum up, it is - the average god-level powerhouse cannot break it, but the peak god-level powerhouse can easily break it.

This kind of defense strength is barely acceptable to them. Now it depends on how to break through this defense network.

…

Prime Minister Cao knew that the three Skrulls in front of him were using mental power to communicate.

Although he didn't know what they were communicating, Prime Minister Cao still smiled back, like a very polite host when entertaining rude guests.

When the communication between the three reached a stage, Prime Minister Cao smiled and asked them: "How was the discussion, you three? Have you discussed a way to crack the defense network?"

Plant and the other three turned to look at Prime Minister Cao at the same time.

The three of them all had straight faces, and no inner emotional changes could be seen.

After a brief silence, Plante replied: "The defense network is very powerful, worthy of the technology of the Holy Silver Federation. However, we are not afraid of this defense network. We will see more of it later!"

Having said this, Plante clasped his fists towards Prime Minister Cao like an ancient Chinese salute.

Not only that, the last sentence he just said, "We will see you later," was also in the ancient Chinese of Blue Star's Qin and Han Dynasties. I don't know where he learned it, which made Prime Minister Cao sound even more cordial.

However, being cordial is cordial, and Prime Minister Cao will definitely not forget that Plant is an enemy. He continued to smile and said lightly: "Okay, let me wait and see, I want to see how you can crack this defense network... But As an aside, your wording of 'see you later' is not accurate. I believe we will meet again soon."

"See you again soon"?

Hearing this, Plant and the other three were startled at the same time.

What does this mean?

But before they could react, Manina suddenly heard the AI's blue-devouring voice in his ears: "Your Majesty! There's a situation ahead! The seventh-level experts who went out to investigate were attacked by the Blue Stars in a planned way!"

"What?" Manina's pupils shrank sharply.

He completely did not expect that the Skrull Seventh Orders who were out on a reconnaissance mission would be attacked by the Blue Stars.

In fact, this is easy to explain from the Blue Star people's side.

From the perspective of the Blue Star people, the space between the first and second lines of defense is now filled with demonized plants. This is the territory of the Blue Star people.

The demonized plants were like eyes, clearly seeing the movements of these 20 seventh-level Skrulls.

Since they dare to intrude into their own territory, what reason do they have not to eat them?

So, the moment 20 Skrulls of the seventh level entered the sea of ​​demonized plants, the Blue Star people had already started taking action.

Su Yu sent all the god-level experts to deal with Skrull Level 7 one-on-one. There were not enough god-level experts, so the remaining ones sent a seventh-level team of about ten people to besiege them.

Everyone agreed to attack at the same time to avoid alerting the enemy, so as not to let the other Skrulls receive the message and run away when dealing with one of the Skrulls.

Of course Prime Minister Cao also knew about this action, so he kept smiling just now.

Until just now, Prime Minister Cao received the news that the attack below had begun, so he made a sarcastic remark to Plante.

…

Faced with this unexpected situation, the three of Manina were all shocked!

20 seventh-level people were under siege at the same time!

According to the follow-up news from AI Devouring Blue, some were besieged by god-level enemies, while others were surrounded by about 10 seventh-level enemies.

If they are not rescued in time, many seventh-level people will surely perish!

So the three of Manina ignored Prime Minister Cao on the other side of the defensive net.

Plante and Manina III exchanged glances with each other, and then quickly flew towards the scene of the incident.

Plant's jump technology was so powerful that he disappeared after a few flashes of white light;

Manina III also flies extremely fast. Although he does not have the means to teleport, relying on his own strength, it only takes a matter of minutes to reach the location of the incident.

Manina himself quickly returned to the headquarters. At this time, he had to take charge of the overall situation and at least stabilize the situation.

Of course, Prime Minister Cao will not take any action.

When Prandtl jumped, he quickly captured the position after Prandtl's leap and followed him. His goal was to catch up with and contain Prandtl and buy time for his own actions.

At the same time, the position of Manina III was also locked by the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

…

In this way, the top experts from Blue Star and Skrull Star fought without any warning, and a battle began in the sky above the sea of ​​demonized plants.

The Blue Star side had a good location and a sneak attack advantage, and quickly gained the upper hand;

Although Skrull's side entered the battle in a hurry, their victory was due to their extremely quick reaction and their courage to cut the flesh and stop their losses in time, so the disadvantage was not particularly significant.

The chaotic battle lasted nearly two hours.

Two hours later, both sides paid their dues and retreated their troops, returning to their headquarters to take stock of their own gains and losses.

Skrull Expeditionary Force General Headquarters.

After the battle, AI Blue Devourer reported the losses of this battle to Manina and other top Skrull beings:

"In this battle, a total of three seventh-level cultivators on our side died, namely Makeni Lieyang, Green Mulox, and Anka Za.

In addition, we have six seventh-level seriously injured people, including Leighton Plant and Anna Elizabeth... There are still more than a dozen people with more or less minor injuries. "

Listening to AI Lanyan's report, all the top Skrull beings had ugly expressions on their faces.

They were really careless this time.

Including Manina, no one thought that the Blue Star people were so courageous and dared to launch a sneak attack at this time!

It seems that they really cannot underestimate their opponent Blue Star, otherwise they will pay the price.

"What about the opponent's casualties?" Manina asked in a deep voice.

"The casualties on Blue Star's side are much better than ours." Blue Devourer replied: "According to incomplete statistics, only one seventh-level cultivator from Blue Star was killed in battle. His name was Sushma Swaraj, a native of Tianzhu, in the game ID [Minister of Defense of Tianzhu], the remaining two were seriously injured and a dozen were slightly injured.”

Sushma Swaraj's game ID is [Minister of Defense of India], but he is not really the Minister of Defense of India. His true identity is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India. When he first entered the game to choose a name, he typed "Diplomacy" into "National Defense" with his hand, and that's why he got this ID.

Plant's leap technology is comparable to the Blue Star Mage's teleportation.

When Plant reached one of the beleaguered Skrull Seventh Order, Sushma Swaraj bore the brunt.

He simply couldn't withstand Plant's explosive output, which also made him the only seventh-level powerhouse sacrificed by Blue Star.

As for the three seventh-level people who died in Skrufang, they were all attacked to death by Blue Star people. Faced with a sudden sneak attack, I really couldn't run away even if I wanted to.

…

After reading the battle report from Devouring Blue, there was a brief silence in the video conference room on the top floor of Skrull.

After a while, Manina said in a deep voice: "I should bear the main responsibility for this emergency. I did not expect this sneak attack, so these unnecessary sacrifices were made. I am willing to follow "Sk I will be punished according to the Lu Xing War Law by being demoted to three levels and fined for one year.”

After a period of silence, Lenkert Speaker Kusman responded: "His Majesty Manina spoke harshly. The incident happened so suddenly that none of us could have expected it.

What we should do most now is to learn from this incident and avoid something like this from happening again. At the same time, we must quickly discuss a countermeasure to solve the investigation problem. "

As the Emperor of the Burning Sun, Manina's punishment of "demoting himself to three levels and fined his salary for one year" was like scratching his itch through his leather boots, which was about nothing.

However, Koosman was still very generous and changed the topic to the handling of the incident.
