Chapter 1051: One-Time Vision
However, there were far too many of these "black dots."
The high-ranking individuals each did their best to expand the coverage of their spells, but many still slipped through the cracks.
Moreover, the Skrull probes and robots were no ordinary machines. Many of them had been modified with significant magical resistance based on the spells used by humans on Earth. As a result, numerous "black dots" managed to withstand the area-of-effect spells, their damaged bodies still managing to fly away quickly.
Meanwhile, Lucas Yu and the others were rapidly communicating telepathically about what to do next.
Lucas Yu grabbed an intact miniature reconnaissance robot, forcibly disassembled it, and examined its internal structure. He then shared his findings with the others using his mental powers:
"Based on my observations, the Skrulls have released various reconnaissance devices. These devices contain several imaging systems, sensors, and optical signal transmitters. Apart from their reconnaissance capabilities, they have no other functions, and certainly no offensive capabilities."
Prime Minister Victor Cao quickly responded, "Of course, they wouldn't have offensive capabilities. If the Skrulls dared to release any devices capable of attacking, it would violate the ironclad rules.
It seems the Skrulls are trying to conduct one last reconnaissance of Earth before the Tarxin defense network is shut down."
Speaker Julia Hu agreed, "That's likely the case."
"But these reconnaissance devices have such high magical resistance!" Austin Feng, standing nearby, exclaimed. "I saw many sixth-tier spellcasters' area-of-effect spells fail to destroy these devices! They have high magical resistance but not so much physical resistance; a sixth-tier archer can take out a whole string with a single arrow."
"Perhaps because physical classes can't achieve wide-area attacks, the Skrulls focused on enhancing their magical resistance," Lucas Yu concluded. "Everyone, spread out, especially those of seventh-tier and above. Let's try to capture all of these devices."
"Understood!"
The high-ranking Earth defenders dispersed, continuing their efforts to hunt down the reconnaissance devices and robots.
A large number of reconnaissance devices fell from the sky, and the entire sky was filled with the thick smoke of explosions.
However, a few reconnaissance devices and miniature robots managed to evade the pursuit, using their incredible speed to fly in all directions.
Neon Island was particularly small, and it didn't take long for these devices to fly beyond the island's boundaries.
The Skrulls quickly received the optical signals from the surviving reconnaissance devices and robots.
Using these signals, they once again gained a view of Earth, though this vision was brief.
Valuable information was gathered at Fuji Spring and quickly compiled by the intelligence personnel there. The information was then sent to higher-ups, who relayed it further up the chain of command until it reached the two speakers and the six God-Tier Warriors.
Holding the latest information in his hand, Emperor Ryder Manina of the Solar Empire slightly narrowed his eyes.
The most valuable information they received was the ten defensive lines set up by the humans on Earth.
Based on the video footage provided by the reconnaissance devices, they could clearly see the defensive layout of the Earth humans.
"I didn't expect the humans on Earth to have set up so many defensive lines," Manina remarked in the video conference room. "And each line is equipped with a significant number of our defensive weapons. From what I can see, there are quite a few laser weapons and antimatter orbital cannons."
In the video conference room were only Manina, Speaker Lucas Kusman, and the God-Tier Warrior, Sibrian "Sib" Thompson. The others were on Earth.
Hearing Manina's words, Kusman agreed, "Yes, there are indeed many of our defensive weapons. The appearance and models are clearly from our bases, disassembled and reinstalled here."
“
However, some have been modified,” Xibo said, displaying numerous images in the video conference room. Each image showed a large defensive structure.
“The people of Blue Star have removed the Spirit Imprints from these weapons and made several private modifications. Some have even changed in appearance. However, the exact effects of these modifications are still unclear.”
“Spirit Imprints” are the marks marks a marking applied by the Skrull to large defensive weapons, which aids lower-tier controllers in using the defenses. This also acts as a form of authorization, making it almost impossible to operate the weapons without the imprint.
However, the Blue Star people have removed the Spirit Imprints from the defensive weapons and made significant modifications. It’s unclear what exactly they have changed them into.
“We can discuss this later,” Manina concluded, “since we have already obtained the specific visual information. We’ll leave the rest to the experts.”
“Alright.”
...
Through reconnaissance drones and robots, the Skrull continue to gather a steady stream of information.
The Skrull are meticulously studying the 10 defensive lines set up by the Blue Star people.
These 10 defensive lines span the entire Honshu Island, making it impossible for the Skrull to ignore them.
Moreover, the completion rate of these 10 defensive lines is now very high, with all construction and infrastructure completed. Only the base defense systems are not yet fully operational.
The 10 defensive lines, combined with the massive golden net above, are likely the final trump card of Blue Star.
However, as the drones and robots delve deeper, Manina and the others shift their focus to the Asian continent, particularly to the Huax region.
In the video conference room, Manina seriously stated, “The Asian continent lacks defensive setups, indicating that the Blue Star people intend to use the golden net as their last line of defense.”
“Seems right,” Kusman nodded.
Kusman continued, “However, using the golden net as their final trump card is indeed fitting. After all, it’s a creation of the Saint Silver Federation, and we currently have no way to counter it.”
“Agreed,” Manina responded.
But then, Manina suddenly saw a video segment, causing his expression to darken.
The video was taken by a micro-robot that had flown over Hangcheng. Due to its proximity to Honshu, the southeastern mountainous area of Hangcheng has become the largest training ground for the Blue Star people.
The footage from the micro-robot showed thousands of humans training with the ‘Little Three-Piece Set.’
Most of these humans were around the third or fourth rank, equipped with laser rifles, tactical outerwear, and sprint guards on their legs.
The fully armed Blue Star people were practicing movement and shooting in a confined area, rigorously honing their skills.
These activities cannot be replicated in the game, so they must practice in the real world.
Additionally, Manina noticed several ‘Big Three-Piece Sets’ lying unused in the training ground, though the soldiers haven’t started practicing with them yet.
The reason for Manina’s darkened expression was primarily because he recognized all the military equipment in the hands of the Blue Star people!
Not only did he recognize them, but he was also very familiar with them, as he quickly realized that most of the equipment was from the Leryang Empire, while other countries had far less.
This realization made his expression very grim.
