NOVPUBChapter 860: Chapter 854 Yun Ling_1 Chapter 860 -854 Yun Ling_1 “Yes, Your Highness, the order has been received, and the spacecraft have been dispatched.” There are still many transport spacecraft under Finn Lewis’s command, which can be sent out at any time; now, the only option is to accelerate the evolution of the Insect Species, as they are the only ones capable of keeping pace with such rapid progress.
While human manufacturing speed is fast enough, it would be difficult to keep up with such a war pattern without prior preparation, because the enemy does not consider sustainable development, but Finn Lewis has to!
There is still a life to live after all, whereas the enemy comes with the purpose of extinction, meaning they can afford to drain the pond to catch all the fish.
“Your Highness, traces of the battleship have been detected, and the enemy has begun to decelerate,” the battleship had not disappeared for long and had made an appearance much earlier than Finn Lewis had anticipated, even before Jasmine Davis and Lucy Watson, among others, had returned.
The closer one got to the interior of the Galactic Federation, the more reconnaissance satellites there were, so Luna Starfield could easily detect their presence.
The only piece of bad news was, “Your Highness, according to the information we’ve collected so far, their destination seems to be here.” Luna Starfield directly projected a star chart in front of Finn Lewis and then marked out a route on the chart.
Upon seeing this route, Finn Lewis’s expression darkened slightly, as the target of the route was one of the thousands of coordinates he had obtained while at the noble academy.
...
That location was on a planet in a galaxy nearest to the Solar System.
Finn Lewis had already checked it out; it was a planet covered in ice and snow with no signs of life, and the reason why the coordinates pointed there…
Finn Lewis didn’t have time to investigate because the coordinates did in fact point to this planet.
Although he didn’t have time to explore the planet himself, he had arranged for many reconnaissance satellites to be deployed around the planet, including those skulking openly in space and others disguised as meteorites.
Now that the enemy had appeared here, they were instantly detected by Luna Starfield, and their presence was constantly maintained within Luna Starfield’s surveillance range.
They had ceased interstellar jumps and were now traveling through interstellar space at a speed approaching that of light.
Their intended destination, according to Luna Starfield, was this planet.
“Summon the battleships,” Finn Lewis reflected for a moment, then spoke decisively.
“As you command, Your Highness,” Luna Starfield immediately replied, and with Finn Lewis’s order, countless battleships hidden within the darkness began to hastily start their engines and jump towards this location.
With the recent addition of 10 new battleships, Finn Lewis’s fleet reached a total of 110, making him the ranking first in military power within the entire Galactic Federation.
Even though other families had certainly not unveiled their full strength, this did not matter much.
The 110 battleships, with 20 left within the Aitken Family’s territory and another 20 at Domele’s disposal – although those could be recalled – meant Finn Lewis now commanded a force of 90 battleships.
While the true strength of the enemy’s immense battleship was unknown, a force of 90 was certainly ready to arm-wrestle with the opponent.
As these battleships were already nearby, their response time was swift.
Moreover, their crews comprised solely of Gene Warriors and synthetic robots, since the number of people Finn Lewis could currently entrust with battleship control was too few.
However, robots had their advantages.
With Luna Starfield’s coordination, their reaction speed was unparalleled.
Another reason for optimism was that with Keller’s departure, Domele, in charge of the new Heritage System, had already hatched a new Leviathan, and although another was still incubating, it would be ready within a month at most.
Moreover, the construction of the entire Resource Galaxy was being pursued in line with sustainable development.
At least the units of the Insect Swarm could engage in long-term operations within the galaxy.
Now, with one Leviathan ready for combat, this was good news for Finn Lewis, given the proximity of the Resource Galaxy.
So, Finn Lewis promptly contacted Domele, instructing her to prepare for combat, with all Insect Swarm troops ready for battle.
Should a clash with the enemy occur and Finn Lewis find himself outmatched, the Leviathan would certainly join the fray.
“We’re ready to depart.” Finn Lewis had no choice but to board a battleship himself.
However, Luna Starfield strongly objected to this, “Your Highness, I don’t mind your rushing to the front lines, but considering the size disparity between our fleets and the unknown strength of the enemy, it would be better for you to stay back and allow me to transmit information remotely.”
“I need to be at the front.
A small delay could be fatal, not to mention the vast distance between us.
Even if I get there and it turns out to be an enemy, we will still have enough time to escape,” Finn Lewis firmly shook his head.
“Your Highness, you must understand, if anything happens to you, the entire Galactic Federation will be without hope.
I believe you are well aware that you are the hope of not just the Galactic Federation but all of humanity,” Luna Starfield paused for a moment before continuing.
Touching his nose subconsciously, Finn Lewis then spoke somewhat helplessly, “Since when have I become a messianic figure?
Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
You know I have other cards up my sleeve; all the combat power can be jumped here instantly if need be.”
“Alright, You are the Prince, and I can’t argue with your command, but please think carefully before acting,” Luna Starfield replied with resignation.
Finn Lewis waved his hand, signaling that he understood.
As he logged onto the flagship, the entire fleet had already completed its assembly.
Ninety battleships formed an immense interstellar fleet that seemed insignificant in the vastness of space.
Following the lead battleship, which opened a jump channel, the giant engines at the rear of all the ships began emitting a pale blue light as they surged into the channel.
One battleship after another rapidly passed through the jump channel, and soon in front of Finn Lewis, a flash of light revealed a strange star system.
Lewis had visited this system only once, and now the jump location was about 50 million kilometers from the target planet pursued by the enemy.
