Chapter 995: Scorched Earth Tactics

"Understood," Liu Feng nodded.
Lan Xuanyu said, "For now, this is the plan. I estimate that infiltrating won't be so simple. There could be other changes. Otherwise, the Spaceborne Clan wouldn't have been able to keep the Space Origin Crystal so well. We can only improvise. If we're really discovered and a fight breaks out, I'll notify the warship. Frenzie, you guys will position yourselves according to the location I provided, with me at the center, and drop anti-matter missiles in a circular pattern outside the blast radius. I have a way to protect myself."
They were undoubtedly unable to deal with true god-rank powerhouses, but even if they were true god-rank powerhouses, they would not have an easy time facing the Dragon's Fury. Lan Xuanyu had already experienced the power of the Dragon's Fury, and the Title Douluo was instantly killed. Although it was unlikely to kill true god-rank powerhouses, it was still possible to create an opportunity for them to escape. The flight speed of the Sky Wings Mech in fighter jet mode gave them a chance to escape the battlefield during an outbreak. Plus, with the illusions created by Little Trea, they still had a chance to escape.
If a dozen or so antimatter missiles were to land on the planet, even if they couldn't destroy Planet Seventy-Six, there would likely be incalculable losses. At that time, the true god-rank powerhouses would not have time to care about them.
Under the threat of their lives, they had to resort to extreme measures. After all, the greatest loss from the explosion of the Space Origin Crystal was not the Douluo Federation. The Douluo Federation could develop space technology, and the Dragon Horse Galaxy would eventually be able to develop it as well. That would be the real danger.
Although Lan Xuanyu was bold, he had his means: Dragon's Fury, antimatter missiles, Sky Wing Fighter, and even the Emerald Demon Warship. With these forces combined, he had the ability to infiltrate the Planet Seventy-Six of the Dragon Horse Galaxy.
Qian Lei's facial muscles twitched as he imagined the scene of sixteen antimatter missiles falling on the seventy-sixth planet of the Dragon Horse Galaxy. The image was too beautiful, and he was afraid to even imagine it.
"Boss, have you considered something? A Space Origin Crystal contains a huge amount of spatial energy. What if it detonates?" Qian Lei couldn't help but ask.
Lan Xuanyu calmly said, "When it comes down to fighting for our lives and being killed by the enemy, we don't have time to worry about these things. After you launched the anti-matter missiles, fly away immediately into the distance. If we can escape, we will contact you again."
Qian Lei coughed and said, "It won't happen, the worst-case scenario won't happen. You will definitely come back safely."
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and nodded, "Don't worry, I have other ways. We don't want to risk our lives unless it's absolutely necessary. Also, the reason we asked you to launch sixteen anti-matter missiles is that Planet Seventy-Six definitely has a defense system that will intercept missiles that come down from the sky. Therefore, it's more likely that they will explode in the air. We will create spatial fluctuations to make it difficult for the enemy's perception to detect us. Planet Seventy-Six isn't that easy to blow up."
Choosing planet Dragon Horse Seventy-Six was not just for fighting for the Federation, but also for Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. Tang Sect had also obtained some Space Origin Crystals in the past, but this resource was too scarce and the amount obtained was too small.
Tang Sect's soul technology was more advanced than the Federation's, and if they could have more Space Origin Crystals, many space-related research achievements could be easily achieved. Lan Xuanyu also came with a mission this time, and Tang Miao told him that if possible, what Tang Sect needed most was Space Origin Crystals, provided that safety was ensured.
The Federation primarily researched space overlap and compression technology in the field of space technology, while Tang Sect studied space jumping technology similar to the Spaceborne Clan. The technology was basically mature, but lacked energy. The internal structure of a Space Origin Crystal was extremely complex. In order to replicate or create similar spatial attribute energy sources, a large number of Space Origin Crystals needed to be researched or directly used as a power source.
Lan Xuanyu was actually most concerned about the forbidden arsenal of Tang Sect. He knew that as long as he could get some Space Origin Crystals, the door to the forbidden arsenal would probably open to him. He had always wanted to know what the other weapons and equipment in the forbidden arsenal were for, especially the latest developments of Tang Sect.
The Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship remained in stealth mode and continued to fly, and they were completely away from the main fleet.
Three days later.
Far away, a deep blue planet appeared in the view outside the porthole. From the surface, the planet only appeared different in color, rotating smoothly on its own axis.
This resource planet was actually a small asteroid with its own orbit, revolving around a larger planet that was mainly silver and green, which could be considered a satellite of that planet.
Undoubtedly, that large planet was the old nest of the Spaceborne Clan, and this deep blue planet was precisely the 76th Dragon Horse Star. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The warship slowly decelerated and hovered at a distance from the Dragon Horse planet.
"Zoom in for a closer look," commanded Lan Xuanyu.
The detection radar scanned and zoomed in, and the deep blue planet appeared several times larger on the screen.
However, what puzzled Lan Xuanyu and his seven comrades was that although they could zoom in for a closer look, there was a twisted halo on the surface of the deep blue planet, making it impossible to see the true situation on the planet.
The distorted halo was clearly not formed naturally, but rather seemed like a protective layer specifically designed to defend against prying eyes, and possibly even had a warning function.
The situation was more complicated than imagined. It was unexpected that planet Dragon Horse Seventy-Six had such a comprehensive defense.
However, he was mentally prepared for it long ago. After all, the information that the Federation knew about Planet Seventy-Six was limited. During normal times, the path into the Dragon Horse galaxy was blocked by the Dragon Horse warship group, making it impossible to penetrate deep into the galaxy. All information had to be bought with money, so deviations were normal.
However, this also proved that they were in the right place. Maintaining a protective layer that covered the entire planet required a lot of energy and advanced technology, and only a resource planet as precious as Planet Seventy-Six deserved to be protected in this way.
"We are not in a hurry, let's observe first, analyze the data of the shield layer without touching it," said Lan Xuanyu.
They didn't need to fly around the planet at all. The planet itself was rotating, which allowed them to see the overall situation.
Lan Xuanyu was not only brave but also detail-oriented. After finding the target, he didn't rush and observed carefully, looking for an opportunity.
Planet Seventy-Six rotated quickly, taking about six hours of its mother star to complete one rotation.
Through its one-week rotation, a simple analysis was also obtained.
The shield layer on the planet's surface should be composed of spatial properties and did not have defensive capabilities. After all, the energy consumption of a shield that could protect an entire planet was too high.
However, this spatial shield could obscure exploration and most likely had warning capabilities. This was undoubtedly true.
The Spaceborne Clan was not guarding against threats from the Douluo Federation, but rather against people within the Dragon Horse galaxy.
Everyone knew how precious Space Origin Crystals were. The Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed Clans were both extremely covetous of it, so the Spaceborne Clan naturally had strict defenses.
Moreover, with observation, Lan Xuanyu and his team also discovered a fleet of dozens of warships. This fleet was located between the Planet Seventy-Six and the Spaceborne Clan's mother star. These warships were very peculiar, suspended in space, and seemed to have a faint, almost elusive feeling, as if they were constantly shuttling in space.
Each warship was not too large, with a length between 150 and 200 meters. The entire ship was silver-white and looked very modern. This was probably the famous Spaceborne warship capable of space travel.
