Chapter 786 - 377: The First Shot (Part 2)

The Maxiwa Delta is composed of seven main stars, with most criminals operating in these areas. The three outermost planets are aligned in the same plane and connected to form an equilateral triangle, hence the name.

Although these planets were once places where humans lived, after the Insect Race rampaged through, the region became quite barren, significantly damaging the original ecosystem. Due to this destruction, every planet is not wholly suitable for human habitation. Before the formation of the Maxiwa Delta, artificial ecosystems were officially funded here to barely support the survival of intelligent life forms.

The bandits took advantage of inadequate military forces to seize these bases that were on the verge of being abandoned, transforming them into a paradise for evildoers, continuously attracting new blood and growing stronger. Meanwhile, other interstellar alliances were somewhat preoccupied with wars, unable to commit massive military forces to manage and reclaim this area for a time. Hundreds of years have passed, and criminals have become a formidable presence, making it increasingly difficult to reclaim it.

Su Jiameng’s first chosen destination was a planet called "Po Jun," which ranks among the top in combat power among the seven stars, with considerable defensive capabilities. In truth, when Su Jiameng heard the planet was named Po Jun, she jokingly asked if there were also planets named Giant Gate, Seven Kills, and Tanglang, which was later confirmed, leaving her momentarily embarrassed.

The Maxiwa Delta is a sanctuary for criminals, and the planets bear these names, which somewhat annoys Su Jiameng.

Unlike the planets she knew, Po Jun Star, Seven Kills Star, and Tanglang Star make up the outermost planets, while the other four lie within the plane triangle formed by these three, watching over each other, holding a relatively special significance in military terms.

However, after the Insect Race was repelled, this importance gradually diminished, and eventually, a group of criminals occupied them. Now, the first target Su Jiameng set her sights on was Po Jun Star, which was also where Lu Anchen was last seen! The garrison was on an artificial asteroid, the closest point among the seven stars to Po Jun Star! Within three days, she wanted to see the results she needed.

In the main command room of the military warship, Su Jiameng sat at the helm, staring at the virtual screen, her fingers rhythmically tapping the table.

Numerous officers bustled about in a scene of busy activity, technicians monitored in real time, and High Rank officers, having received orders, went down to make arrangements. With the intention of launching a surprise attack, they naturally needed to be quick and precise, seizing the initiative before Po Jun Star could react!

"Lieutenant General, the warship has calculated the navigation route, and the encirclement plan is expected to launch in three hours and forty-two minutes."

Liang Xiaonuo was not only a close confidante of Su Jiameng but also her indispensable comrade and partner. After Lu Anchen was gone, Liang Xiaonuo had to temporarily take on the responsibilities that should have been handled by that guy, now wishing to split himself in half to do the work of two.

"Wait a bit longer, they’re not fully prepared yet... It will take about another forty-six minutes to be completely in place."

Today, Su Jiameng was dressed formally, her expression cold as ice, her eyes locked onto the ever-changing virtual screen. "Contact the advance troops, monitor the progress at all times. If there are any changes, report immediately, without delay to military intelligence for even one second!"

Po Jun Star has three artificial ecological zones, with a total area accounting for one-twentieth of the entire planet! Although this proportion seems small, if you convert the area of the artificial zones to Ancient Earth from the Earth Era, it would equal the size of seven combined continents.

If this were during the Earth Era, a surprise attack like this would take at least a year or two. But in the interstellar era, where various spatial technologies have gradually matured, a medium Mecha at full speed, with all spatial technologies employed, could likely circle it in a day.

From this, it is evident that not only is technology advanced in the interstellar era, but the battlefield itself is also frighteningly large.

In Ancient Earth times, who could have imagined two countries warring across several planets or even an entire galaxy? Such a thing was unimaginable, as the mere concept of light years was daunting. Similarly, in this interstellar era, it would be hard to imagine two countries warring with merely a few thousand or ten thousand combatants in a small confined area, fighting to the death.

Su Jiameng coldly watched as time ticked by, the artificial asteroid, the star, and Po Jun gradually aligned into a straight line! As the virtual screen lit up, she raised her hand, brought it down, and said in a gruff voice, "Alliance stationed corps, set sail!"
