Chapter 565: Chapter 347: Heart of Sky Base (Five in One)_5

Vickers laid it all on the table for everyone.

Now that the Emperor had deeply penetrated the Dark Forest, Vickers no longer had to worry about leaks; no one could send messages out from here.

"Ah?"

"On our way to the Empire’s rear, what are we going to do?"

...

Hejassi and the others were all stunned.

Vickers Major General spoke up gravely.

"Are you afraid after hearing this news?"

"No!"

Su Ming and the others solemnly replied in unison.

"Good! Since that’s the case, I’ll now formally announce the mission our Legion Commander has given us!"

With a wave of his hand, Vickers Major General brought the Celestial Body Projector to life, and an expanse of starry sky appeared.

"See this star? It’s the most stable star within the Dark Star Empire and one of the largest sources of energy. The Dark Star Empire has spent a vast amount of capital to construct the second largest energy reserve center around this star, the Heart of Sky Base. Our objective is simple: to destroy it and deal an unprecedented blow to the Dark Star Empire."

Vickers Major General pointed at a star projected in front of them.

The entire surface of the star was covered and wrapped by special crystal facets, with spherical energy storage devices floating in the external space.

"That’s amazing!"

"If we pull this off, the Dark Star Empire will be absolutely enraged."

...

Kaff and the others, upon hearing Vickers’s words, were all boiling with excitement.

Su Ming too was surprised; he hadn’t expected the Legion Commander to play such a big hand. If this surprise attack actually succeeded, it would be like poking a hornet’s nest.

At that point, at least forty percent of the planets in the Dark Star Empire would face an energy crisis—a truly fatal blow.

"Don’t get too excited ahead of time. Although we have traversed the Dark Forest and can launch a surprise attack unexpectedly, the Imperial Army is no paper tiger either. The defenses of the Heart of Sky Base are very strong! They have not only deployed a significant military presence but also constructed a great deal of defensive weaponry. The likelihood of a frontal breakthrough is very low."

Vickers said sternly.

"So, what should we do?"

Kaff and the others asked with gravity.

"It’s simple. When we emerge from the Dark Forest and reach the operational starry sky, I will personally lead the Emperor, Fierce Sun, and Silver Moon, along with most of the mecha squadrons, to attack the Heart of Sky Base’s defense line head-on to draw their fire. At that moment, Su Ming and Kaff, each of you will take a thousand people aboard the Grade 4 Battleship Chameleon Tiger, sneak around to the side. You will cut through their weakest line of defense and directly take down the Heart of Sky Base!"

Vickers Major General explained succinctly.

At this, Kaff asked worriedly,

"General, the Heart of Sky Base is so large, can we manage to destroy it with just this many people?"

"Rest assured. By then, I will equip each of your mechas with two special missiles produced by the Xi Guang Laboratory: Vacuum Shock Bombs! These can widely destroy and detonate the crystal facets covering the surface of the Heart of Sky Base."

Vickers Major General assured the two.

"Excellent!"

Su Ming and Kaff replied in unison.

"One more thing I must emphasize: the purpose of our mission is to destroy the facilities of Heart of Sky Base. Once Su Ming and his team succeed in the sabotage, we must withdraw immediately. At that time, the Imperial Army will chase us like mad dogs!"

Vickers stressed very seriously to everyone.

"Understood!"

Everyone replied gravely.

"Alright then, that sums up the entire combat plan. One last thing: after this job is done, we’ll truly set course for home."

Vickers said somberly.

"Yes!"

Su Ming and the others nodded their acknowledgment.

"Hmm, go prepare. Let’s do our last job well, as it’ll be our parting gift to them!"

Vickers said to everyone with a smile.

"Sure!"

Hejassi and the others replied, excited.

...

The next day.

At the edge of the Dark Forest Starry Sky.

The Emperor, Fierce Sun, and Silver Moon gradually stopped advancing.

Inside the Central Control Room, Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin reported to Vickers Major General.

"General, we’ve arrived at the edge of the Dark Forest Starry Sky, and ahead lies the Monges Star Sea."

"Good, patch me through for a full broadcast!"

Vickers Major General stood up and said.

"Sir!"

Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin immediately took action.

Soon, the voice of Vickers Major General sounded through the Emperor’s broadcast system.

"Gentlemen, I am the Vickers Deputy Corps Commander from the Thirteenth Legion. I am officially announcing a major development. The Emperor is about to reach the Monges Star Sea of the Dark Star Empire; at that point, we will launch a surprise strike against the Dark Star Empire’s Heart of Sky Base, delivering a powerful blow to the Dark Star Empire."

As these words were said, non-combat personnel aboard the Emperor were shocked, particularly the merchants aboard, who were all confounded.

They thought they were returning home, only to find there was still a combat mission ahead.

"To ensure the smooth execution of the operation, we now lock down all living area gates inside the Emperor and initiate a comprehensive temporary control. All combat personnel, begin pre-battle preparations."

Vickers formally proclaimed.

Following Vickers’s order, the urgent combat alarm sounded.

Then Su Ming gave orders to Rhein and others.

"Everyone, head immediately to the Chameleon Tiger to prepare for combat."

"Yes, sir!"

Rhein and the others replied with solemnity.

Su Ming then led his team straight to the Grade 4 Battleship Chameleon Tiger.

Not long after, the bottom of the Emperor Mother Ship slowly split open, and the Grade 4 Battleship Chameleon Tiger gradually detached from the Mother Ship.
