Poverty makes me capable of anything.

stab-

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the wall beside him was crackling with blue electric light, a sign of lies.

"What's going on?" he asked quickly.

The mechanic said without turning his head, "It's nothing. The other party has noticed my presence. I'll just have to fight him first... Damn, what's this?"

In the virtual world, the mechanic's eyes widened.

He felt like he had become a sitting duck, with an endless torrent of data rushing towards him.

However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not pull his consciousness out of the online world.

He could only endure the data flow, becoming a frustrated prisoner in the online world.

"This……"

The people behind the mechanic were dumbfounded.

He frantically tried to forcibly cut off the nearby energy supply system, but fortunately, the two mechanics who had come to help arrived at that moment.

"Stop! If you do that, his consciousness will be completely blurred, and in severe cases, he might even become an idiot."

"How could this be?"

"The mechanic on the other side is much stronger than us. Let's request remote assistance."

Although I was unwilling, this was the only way to do it.

On the other side, An Ran pursed her lips.

Although she's not very skilled in virtual technology, she is still the ruler of the star field!

If you won't let me in, can't I just force my way in myself?

The vast disparity in "strength" meant that the faithless fleet was utterly powerless against Anran.

Want to stand up?

I'll slap you so hard you'll fall over!

Anran searched every ship in the fleet and finally found what she was looking for on one of the less conspicuous ships.

"copy!"

The brain seemed to transform into a hard drive with unlimited storage, and in no time at all, Anran copied all the key technologies of [Spatial Displacement].

She caused some damage elsewhere to cover her tracks, which finally brought the belated mechanics to her attention.

In the end, with the combined efforts of more than a dozen mechanics, An Ran was finally "defeated".

"Should we directly counter-intrusion?"

"Continue the pursuit!"

After a protracted tug-of-war, the Drenthe civilization's fleet ultimately triumphed, suffering heavy casualties as the Believers' fleet was the first to become isolated.

If we only look at the present, this is a victory worth celebrating.

However, looking at the battlefield as a whole, this victory was not very significant.

The remaining ships were simply incapable of carrying out the encirclement tactic.

When the fleet of the faithless arrives again, they will have no choice but to perish.

Ochano could only shake his head and withdraw the fleet.

"What a pity," he said to An Ran. "If they had discovered it later, if they hadn't had so many mechanics... sigh."

He was unaware that An Ran had secretly let him pass, and in the end, he thanked An Ran while saying it was nothing.

"At least we've figured out some more details about the enemy. We didn't expect them to have so many powerful mechanics hidden away! Luckily, we discovered it in time, otherwise we might have suffered a great loss."

“Yes,” An Ran sighed, “I’ve met my match this time.”

She was secretly delighted.

Not announcing to the public that he had advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level was indeed the right decision.

Although the outside world unanimously believes that she will become the ruler of the star field sooner or later, she is not "yet" yet, is she?

This was all thanks to Heda's quick arrival and departure when Barir stopped her last time; otherwise, she might have noticed something amiss.

An Ran didn't rush to leave the front line, otherwise it would seem too strange.

While she was helping Ochano stabilize network information security, the Feathered Civilization was also quietly making internal adjustments.

For example, Derrick's side.

He received a private notification from his superiors.

Because of the repeated delays in his mission, the people in the tower have recently become very dissatisfied with him.

Derrick was completely baffled.

"When did I delay the battle?"

In a war that concerns the survival of civilization, is it wrong to be cautious?

On the other hand, the Feathered Civilization also began to gradually shift its focus of attack.

They have already paid a heavy price on the side of the Eternal Star Path that they are attacking.

"If we lose this war, we will be enslaved by these outsiders. Therefore, all the costs we pay now are worthwhile for the victory!"

The Cage Project was put into operation.

On the accompanying transport ship, the soldiers guarding the prisoners were astonished to find that all the prisoners had become agitated.

They hurriedly went to call the researchers to come and check the situation.

But just as the researchers took out their instruments to conduct the tests, he suddenly found his body trembling uncontrollably.

At that moment, it felt as if everything inside him no longer belonged to him.

His cells developed self-awareness!

Amidst a piercing howl, he and the ascension civilization captives before him transformed into green leaf monsters.

Such scenes played out in every detention cell.

By the time Reeves and her partner realized what was happening, the number of leaf monsters had become uncontrollable.

They seized the spaceship, killed every living thing in their path, and then devoured those bodies.

Ultimately, these scattered green leaf monsters merged together, causing chaos behind the fleet.

How could the long-planned Ascension Civilization simply watch such an opportunity slip away?

Multiple fleets that had been lying in ambush launched a full-scale attack.

Caught between two attacks, the fleet from the Eternal Star Path suffered even greater losses than the Derent civilization.

Fortunately, the green leaf monster that suddenly appeared this time has a significantly reduced fleshiness. Although it is still as brave as ever, its recovery ability is mediocre.

In the end, Reeves, with a dark expression on his face, fought his way in and out of the battlefield three times, managing to salvage some of his dignity.

At least, this is acceptable in news reports—

The brave and fearless Reeves destroyed the flagship of the Feathered Civilization, severely damaging the enemy's arrogance.

……

"Haha, hahaha..."

Ochano was overjoyed upon receiving the news.

Radiant Mercenaries > Ascended Civilization?

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how Huiyao will write his next news article."

After laughing, Ochano's expression turned serious: "It's time to give the Feathered Civilization a real beating."

Moreover, we can't let the Mechanicus continue to slack off.

According to information relayed back by investigators, An Ran attempted to smuggle those outsiders directly into the rear areas of the Feathered Civilization.

Although Anran failed, they cannot let their guard down.

"We're allies now, and this sneaky, underhanded behavior isn't what a proper ally should do."

“This is just a small trial. If it succeeds, this war will be much easier,” An Ran explained.

Ochano smiled without saying a word.

I believed your lies!

"Don't worry, I will focus on this area from now on."

"That would be best."

An Ran looked at Ochano with a smile.

Believe it or not.

In any case, she wouldn't give Ochano any excuse to cause trouble.

The spatial displacement technology has been analyzed, and it is no longer difficult to get players to sneak into the rear of the Feathered Civilization.

Once she has created the device, she can directly use the 5 cubic meters of void energy stored in her [Void Affinity] talent to perform long-distance spatial displacement.

Your home is my home!

Anran no longer needs to resort to underhanded tactics.

……

Meanwhile, while most of the smuggling players were discovered and destroyed by the Feathered Civilization, some extremely lucky players managed to evade detection and successfully infiltrate the area.

This includes Zhou Jieyu.

Chapter 35 Hero? Turns out he was a traitor.

It will take at least five days before large-scale reinforcements arrive.
