Chapter 990: Pick up the biggest one
"Is this °• N o v e l i g h t •° the lair of the Machine Race?" Zhao Wan'er looked at the transmitted images and data, at the rows of steel-style planetary manufacturing plants, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
“To be precise, it’s the lair of a guy called the Mechanical Prophet,” the adjutant beside him reminded him.
"Aren't they all mechanical races?" Zhao Wan'er muttered casually, then carefully observed the unique scenery.
This is one of the few times that the machine race, which once threatened the three great empires of the Galactic Federation, has been observed so closely.
At that time, the existence of the machine race was like a monstrous flood to them.
The border fleets of the three great empires were kept busy just defending against the invasion of the Machine Race fleet, and their intelligence on the Machine Race's home base was almost nonexistent.

Just then, a communication window opened, but there was no video footage, only a familiar voice.
"We can begin now."
Remember the mission, don't linger in battle.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Wan'er chuckled: "Commander of the Special Fleet of the Xiaolong Interstellar Stealth Bomber!"
Zhao Wan'er received it!
"Mission accomplished!"
End communication.
Zhao Wan'er raised her hand and opened an interstellar war sandbox, which included a blueprint depicting the opposing machine race's base.
However, at this moment, she stared at the interstellar war sand table and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" the adjutant beside him asked.
"Uh... My brother's mission was for us to come in and attack at will, and then retreat immediately after the attack was over."
"But with so many things here, which one should I attack?" Zhao Wan'er had difficulty making decisions, and she really didn't know which one to choose.
The adjutant standing nearby was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just something they're agonizing over.
The adjutant casually remarked, "If we don't know which one to attack, we'll just pick the biggest one."
"The biggest?" Zhao Wan'er muttered to herself, then her eyes fell on the area located in the very center of this mechanical race base.
That area consisted of a large planet connected to several satellites, and with the mechanical framework on top, it looked like a mechanical planet from a distance.
“Then let’s attack that one!” Zhao Wan’er said, pointing to the mechanical planet.
The adjutant stared at the somewhat treacherous area and said with some concern, "Isn't this a bit too deep? What if we can't retreat later?"
"What's there to be afraid of? We now have ten thousand interstellar stealth bombers!"
If my brother hadn't just ordered me to harass and attack...
"Believe it or not, I dare to help my brother take this place down!" Zhao Wan'er said confidently.
"According to intelligence, there are 200,000 interstellar warships here. Can you really take them down?" The adjutant bluntly exposed his commander's boasting.
"Alright, taking this place is a bit difficult."
"But taking down that big guy isn't that easy, is it?" Zhao Wan'er said, pouting.
The adjutant couldn't help but chuckle, but he still carried out the mission objective, even though it was somewhat risky, it wasn't a big problem.
that's all.
Right under the noses of the Machine Race, ten thousand stealth interstellar bombers silently infiltrated the area.
"Be careful, the enemy has anti-stealth equipment."
"Keep all T3 Phantom Assassin-class light interstellar stealth bombers in the middle of the fleet and do not deviate from the course!" Zhao Wan'er's words were simple.
But in actual combat, she dared not be careless in the slightest, staring intently at the red circles appearing on the flight path before her.
That's the location of the enemy's anti-stealth equipment, and the scanning area, detected by the T4 Banshee-class light interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ship.
The stealth technology of the T4 Shadow Fiend-class light interstellar stealth bomber is stronger than that of the T3 Phantom Assassin, so Zhao Wan'er deployed a lot of T4 Shadow Fiends on the periphery of the fleet.
In this way, an attack can be launched as soon as the target is exposed.
It can also cover low-level T3 Phantom Assassins.
Fortunately, perhaps because 300,000 mechanical interstellar warships were diverted, the defenses here have been weakened considerably.
This allowed Zhao Wan'er's entire plan to proceed smoothly for the first 90% of its duration.
But in the end, we were still a little distance from that ultimate goal.
The fleet has been exposed.
A squadron of mechanical race ships that happened to be patrolling the area suddenly turned all their cannons on Zhao Wan'er's fleet.
At the same time, news came from the bridge of Zhao Wan'er's flagship that it had been locked onto by the enemy.
"We've been exposed!" the adjutant said, looking at Zhao Wan'er.
"At this distance, our T4 Shadow Fiends and some of the T3 Phantom Assassins positioned in front of the fleet can attack."
Relay my order: commence the battle at this location.
All interstellar stealth bombers that are able to attack target number one shall launch an attack using 90% of their ammunition, in accordance with the original attack plan.
The remaining stealth bombers attacked freely in all directions, targeting whatever had the highest offensive value.
Remember, we only have five minutes to attack.
Five minutes later, the entire fleet retreated along the same route! Zhao Wan'er decisively issued the battle order.
One after another, the interstellar stealth bombers disengaged from their previous stealth state.
Launching devices for interstellar missiles and torpedoes appeared on the smooth hull, which was devoid of any external weapons.
Subsequently, interstellar missiles and torpedoes were launched towards the largest mechanical building, which resembled a mechanical planet.
The sheer number was terrifying, like a meteor shower.
Some interstellar warships and small interstellar buildings along the way were affected, and were almost completely destroyed.
Each explosion of flame foreshadowed their approach to the target.
A pattern, a light curtain, blocked the outside of that mechanical planet.
Ripples from the explosions appeared on the light screen.
"It's Star Shield!"
"They've actually installed a star shield on a planet!" the adjutant exclaimed.
Zhao Wan'er remained remarkably calm in response.
It seemed as if this situation had been anticipated.
She simply said, "One hundred seconds left."
Have the accompanying T4 Banshees scan the surrounding area to confirm the safety of our retreat route!
"Understood." The adjutant went to carry out the orders.
The three-minute attack period has ended.
Almost all of the JF-17 stealth bombers had also deployed 90% of their prepared munitions.
You can see many buildings in the surrounding mechanical industrial base exploding and collapsing.
"Begin the retreat!" As soon as the three minutes were up, Zhao Wan'er ordered the retreat without saying a word.
At this moment, the adjutant still looked at the mechanical planet shrouded in star shield with some resentment.
But in the next second, a crack appeared in the star shield, and then the star shield disappeared.
The remaining interstellar missiles and torpedoes were unleashed upon the mechanical planet.
The flames from the explosion engulfed one side of the mechanical planet, as if it had been set ablaze.
Absolutely stunning!
"Report! Multiple mechanized fleets have been detected in the vicinity, numbering well over two hundred thousand!"
"They're trying to surround us!" Suddenly, a message interrupted their joy.
Zhao Wan'er pursed her lips and muttered, "Looks like we've stirred up a hornet's nest."
