Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"attack!"

The vanguard commander waved his flag with a cold expression.

Even if there were an impenetrable wall in front of them, they had to crash into it directly for the sake of victory in the war!

"One hour is enough."

The adjutant stared at the green monster rampaging through the fleet, and the light in his eyes gradually hardened.

He didn't obtain the Seed of Life, so he couldn't become a commander.

But at least he can make the performance more realistic.

Standard time, 11:3 AM.

Braving the powerful storm generated by the self-destruction of the hyperspace portal, hundreds of ships rushed into the war fortress.

The vanguard acted swiftly, but after paying the price of more than a dozen Starkiller lives, they could only watch helplessly as the War Fortress's lieutenant detonated the four hyperspace portals.

"Damn it."

The fleet commander threw the adjutant's body away.

According to equipment analysis, the adjutant destroyed his own brain before he died.

The round head was empty.

Even the excited zombies could only leave disappointed.

"Commander, this war fortress is going to self-destruct in 5 minutes." A young man walked in from outside.

"I know."

The fleet commander rubbed his forehead, his face full of helplessness: "Does this mean we're going to have to return empty-handed this time?"

The thought that the group on the Eternal Star Road might gain something made his eyebrows almost form a line.

"If only there were a skilled mechanic here right now."

The mechanics accompanying the army were fine with causing destruction, but getting them to calm this war fortress, which resembled an angry bull, was a different story.

safely……

The name flashed through the fleet commander's mind.

He gave a wry smile.

That woman is not someone he can control.

Even the leaders of the Drenthe civilization didn't have that ability.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. About two minutes later, the fleet commander received exciting news—

The accompanying mechanic extracted the coordinates of two air routes from the chaotic data stream!

Although the coordinates aren't very detailed, at least we have a direction.

Cherny said, "I heard there hasn't been any progress on the Eternal Star Path yet."

Ochano opened his eyes: "Maybe it's just fake news?"

“Hmm.” Cherny nodded in agreement.

Next, the Mechanicus fleet will also advance.

As the only carbon-based life form in the fleet, he also had to stretch his muscles.

Because most of the coordinates were preserved, the exploration of the route did not take the Combined Fleet too long.

On the morning of the third day after breaking through the fortress, the combined fleet split into two groups and arrived at the starry sky opposite the shipping lane.

On one side is the defensive line of the Feathered Civilization, and on the other side is the maintenance base.

Realizing that everyone's attention had been drawn to that side, An Ran began to arrange the raid mission.

The first step is to remove the spatial confinement device.

Then, players are led in batches from different directions to the location indicated by the light spot.

The player's strength is insufficient to defeat the powerful Feathered Civilization, but all Anran needs is the secret of the Feathered Civilization, which the player's strength is barely enough to handle.

Enron was not interested in destroying a civilization.

The Cult of the Machine God is not a mercenary group that survives on commissions; what An Ran pursues is to develop more followers and cultivate more expendable resources.

Just as An Ran removed the spatial confinement device, the panda that had been guarding the big screen suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Anran, something's happened."

"problem occurs?"

An Ran quickly switched the view on the big screen to her own view.

The battlefield near the repair base was more chaotic than she had expected.

At first, the combined fleet had an absolute advantage and even occupied most of the repair base.

With the Feathered Civilization launching a frenzied counterattack, the Allied Fleet's offensive finally showed signs of fatigue. They had no choice but to first clear out the occupied areas and nip the potential Green Leaf Monsters in the bud.

But just as the combined fleet was distracted, an astonishingly large fleet suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Spatial displacement".

"That's what the panda said."

A massive amount of energy was sacrificed, and then two spaces were replaced.

In this way, fleets from light-years away can arrive at the battlefield instantly.

This won't attract anyone's attention.

Moreover, since it uses space displacement technology instead of warp jump, all the ships in the fleet can maintain their original speed and will not reveal any vulnerabilities as they would during warp jump.

Did the Feathered Civilization possess such technology?

An Ran was a little surprised.

Once this fleet joined the battle, the combined fleet's advantage disappeared, and it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

The spearhead-shaped spaceship was clearly superior in performance to the spaceships previously sent by the Feathered Civilization. Although its rapid turning performance was slightly worse, its defense and firepower were more than one level higher.

Under the combined attack of both sides, the combined fleet was finally breached.

In the battles of the Starkillers, outside of the fleet clashes.

Even Cerny, who was at level 199, ran into trouble.

The green leaf monster standing in front of him possessed a terrifying regenerative ability that seemed to grant it immortality.

Cherny tried everything he could, but he couldn't make the monster show any signs of fatigue.

In the end, under An Ran's strict orders, he could only leave with a frustrated expression.

"Seriously, I've never seen such a monster before. In terms of sheer size, even you, Lord Overlord, are far inferior. I even doubt whether the Star Domain Overlord's attack power could truly injure it."

"emmm..."

An Ran pinched her chin, lost in thought.

For a normal online game, the appearance of such unbalanced monsters is definitely a problem.

If it's not a bug, then there's only one possibility—

"The playing style is wrong."

"Wrong playing style?" Cherny asked in surprise.

"Come back first."

"what?"

An Ran said, "Let's hold off on the attack for now. I think the people from the Drenthe civilization will come looking for me in a while."

Cherny nodded: "Okay, I'll be right there."

An Ran removed the space confinement device.

Sending players to smuggle themselves across at this time seems more appropriate.

She glanced at her new mission: Sequence Warfare.

This is a faction quest that includes many side quests.

In addition to the common point-based tasks, Anran currently has a large side task called "Ascension".

It's worth noting that most of the rewards for this mission are locked.

It can only be unlocked after the secrets of the Feathered Civilization are discovered.

"I have a feeling that the plot of the Feathered Civilization is unusual," An Ran thought.

The more complex and detailed the mission design, the more unusual the characters and plot involved must be.

"I hope everything goes well."

An Ran was still a little uneasy, but Zhou Jieyu, who was in the spaceship, was different.

"Let me tell you..." Zhou Jieyu looked confidently at Lin Yumo and Li Zhuying opposite her, "This time I used all my savings to buy mechanical equipment. And because I have a good relationship with An Ran, I unlocked a favorability effect called [Celestial Priest], which also allows me to mobilize another Type I basic action unit. With so much stuff, I'm sure I can successfully complete the Star Slayer rank advancement mission this time!"

Li Zhuying snorted: "If a noob of this level can become a Star Slayer, those mechanic NPCs who have been stuck at the Master level for many years will probably despair of this world."

"That's talent!"

"Talent my ass, you're just a nepotism hire."

"Ha, you're just jealous of my relationship with An Ran, okay?"

"That's not true!"

While Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying were arguing, Chongzou, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

I really envy those veteran players who joined the game when it first launched.

This time, he has to seize the opportunity!

……

In the virtual conference room, the high-ranking officials of the Cult of the Machine God and the Drenthe civilization sat in a circle.
