Chapter 271 We must unite and prepare for the coming battle!

Holden also said: "I have already stepped up the dispatch of mineral resources. Those nobles have been warned by us and dare not have any more objections!"

Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: “Very good.

Now is a critical period and any slackness may lead to failure.

We must unite and prepare for the coming battle!"

At the same time, the Terra civilization fleet in the distance was still lingering in the border star field, like a sleeping beast, waiting for the most appropriate time to launch a fatal blow.

Sterkar knew that the quietness in the starry sky was only a temporary calm and the real storm was about to come.

He clenched his fists and swore silently in his heart: "Terra civilization, although you are powerful, I will not retreat easily.

No matter what the cost, I will find a way to defeat you!"

Sterkar stood in the command center, his eyes fixed on the star map. Although his heart was as calm as iron, he knew that every minute and every second was crucial.

The fleet of Terra civilization is still lingering at the border, and the invisible pressure seems likely to turn into a devastating attack at any time.

But he must remain calm, because he is not only the ruler of the Raiders' planet, but also their only leader. Every decision he makes will affect the fate of the entire planet.

Leo's fleet is still on alert in the border star field. The radar of each warship maintains the highest sensitivity, monitoring every movement of the Terra civilization fleet.

Although there is no direct exchange of fire between the two sides at present, everyone understands that this calm is just a brief peace before the storm.

The atmosphere in the command center was therefore extremely tense.

Elena continued to debug the new technologies analyzed from the intelligence of Terra civilization, and her team worked day and night to try to apply these technologies to warships and energy systems as quickly as possible.

Holden is fully committed to coordinating the allocation of resources on the planet, trying to balance the contradiction between military needs and the civilian economy.

Stekar glanced at everyone, knowing that everyone was doing their best.

Finally, he broke the silence: "Elena, how is the scientific research progressing? How long will it take us to put it into actual combat?"

Elena immediately looked up, sorted out her thoughts, and reported: "Master Pioneer, we have successfully simulated the plasma energy matrix technology of Terra civilization and completed preliminary tests in the laboratory.

We are now stepping up the production of the first batch of prototype devices, and we expect to be able to test practical applications within a week! ”

Stekar nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, move forward as quickly as possible, time waits for no one!"

Holden also stood up, his face full of fatigue but still firm: “Master Pioneer, the contradiction in resource supply has been temporarily alleviated, and the nobles dare not openly oppose our resource allocation plan anymore.

However, as the demands of war preparedness increase, our resource extraction and production capabilities remain stretched to their limits.

If the Terran civilization's attacks continue to increase, we will need to further expand the scale of resource collection!"

Sterkar frowned slightly: "What is the specific plan for expansion?"

Holden replied slowly: “We have found several potential mineral planets, but development requires time and resources.

I recommend sending more mining fleets and increasing the amount of resources allocated to these new mining planets to ensure that we can significantly increase output in the coming months!"

Sterkar thought for a moment, then nodded: "I approve your plan, but the safety of the mining planet must be ensured.

Send a defense force along, and don't make any mistakes with resources!"

Holden bowed: “Understood, I will do my best!”

At this time, Zhizi's voice echoed in the command room again: "Master Pioneer, the fleet of Terra civilization has new movements.

Part of the fleet began to move to the other side of our border star region, seemingly conducting an encirclement reconnaissance, but did not directly approach our defense area! "

Leo quickly made a judgment through the communication device: “Master Pioneer, it seems that they are looking for our weak point.

They are not planning a full-scale attack, they are just trying to test our defenses!"

Sterkar smiled coldly: "The Terra civilization is indeed cunning. They don't want to attack rashly, but they are unwilling to give up their temptation to us!" He paused for a moment and turned his eyes to Elena and Holden: "We can't let them take advantage of the opportunity and continue to accelerate the progress of technology and resources.

At the same time, Leo, mobilize part of the fleet to conduct hypothetical deployment, create some false defense gaps for the Terra civilization, and induce them to make wrong judgments! "

Hearing this, Leo's eyes flashed with sharpness: "Understood, I will arrange for the warships to be mobilized to confuse their reconnaissance system!"

At this time, Elena interrupted and said, “Master Pioneer, I have an idea.

I suggest installing some energy pulse traps in the hypothetical defense area. These traps can simulate large energy fluctuations to interfere with the Terra civilization's perception system, making them mistakenly believe that our main fleet is stationed there!"

Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: “Okay, this plan works.

Elena, you must immediately start preparing these traps and devices, and make sure that the Terran civilization cannot find any flaws!"

Elena immediately agreed: "Yes, Master Pioneer, I will finish it as soon as possible!"

At the same time, the live broadcast room's barrage surged again:
[Oh my god, this time the Terran civilization is actually fighting a war of wits, trying to surround the Conqueror Planet?! ]

[Hahaha, Lord Pioneer is indeed worthy of being the strongest ruler. He can see through the schemes of Terra civilization step by step! ]

[Isn't Elena's energy trap plan too clever? This time, the Terran civilization will definitely be tricked! ]

[The dungeon designer is truly amazing, the design is so complicated that even I get nervous just looking at it! ]

[By the way, will Leo's hypothetical defense arrangement arouse further suspicion from the Terra civilization? ]

[It doesn't matter. These are just local battles. The final decisive battle is the key! ]

Sterkar's thoughts were still focused on the star map in front of him.

On the battlefield, any successful layout may win precious time and space for subsequent battles.

He knew that this contest would not only be a clash of strength, but also a game of wisdom.

"Leo, be careful when you act. The Terra civilization's reconnaissance fleet is very sophisticated, and they may have been secretly collecting intelligence on us.

Try to avoid direct confrontation. We cannot be forced into a fight when we are not ready!"

Leo nodded and agreed: “Yes, Master Pioneer.

I will order all fleets to act with caution and ensure that Terran civilization is not given any chance!"

Stekar stood there, his eyes deep and determined.

The entire universe seemed to be rolling with uneasy ripples in this peaceful star map, but he knew very well that the real battle had not yet come.

This is just a psychological game, and in this game, the most important thing is patience. "Next, we must carefully plan every step.

Remember, the ultimate victory belongs only to the most patient person! "

Sterkar's voice echoed low but firmly in the command room, and in the distant starry sky, the fleet of the Terra civilization still lingered, like a giant beast waiting patiently before hunting.

The starry sky is still calm, but this calmness is only an appearance.

Sterkar understood that the shadow of war was gradually covering the entire star field.

He stood in the command center, looking into the void in the distance. His heart was like the deep sea before a storm, with waves surging but without the slightest ripple.

"Leo, how is your fleet deployed now?" Stekar still stared at the star map, his tone calm but with a hint of urgency.

Leo’s voice came from the other end of the communicator, as calm as ever: “Master Pioneer, we have arranged the false defense according to the plan.

All reconnaissance ships and small warships have been disguised as the main fleet and deployed in areas that the Terra civilization fleet may investigate.

Our warships are equipped with energy pulse jammers designed by Elena's team. The enemy's detectors should think that is our core strength!"

Sterkar smiled: "Very good, now it depends on whether they will take the bait or not!"

Elena is directing her scientific research team to carry out the final debugging of the trap device.

Her eyes were full of concentration, and her fingers slid quickly on the console. After finally confirming that everything was correct, she raised her head and reported to Sterkar: "Master Pioneer, the energy trap has been successfully activated, all trap devices are running, and the interference signal has achieved the expected effect.

If the Terran fleet continues to approach, they will be confused by the illusion we have created!"

Stekar nodded in affirmation: “Well done, Elena.

Now it’s time to wait patiently. The Terran civilization will definitely test these defense lines. As long as they misjudge our force deployment, we can take the initiative! "

Zhizi's voice suddenly sounded: "Master Pioneer, the reconnaissance ship of the Terra civilization is approaching the trap area we set.

Their reconnaissance equipment is scanning our fake defense positions!"

Leo immediately said: "It seems that they have taken the bait, but they are still cautious and did not attack immediately!"

Sterkar smiled coldly: “Of course they won’t attack rashly.

The fleet commanders of the Terra civilization are definitely not rookies. They know that impatience will only expose their weaknesses.

What we want is to make them relax their vigilance and think that our defense is weak. When they really attack, we can launch a fatal counterattack! "

The live broadcast room's bullet screen also became active again at this time:
[Wow, the Terran civilization is finally testing the defense line! This battle is sure to be exciting! ]

[Hehe, I knew that the Pioneer's plan wouldn't be that simple. The Terra civilization is going to suffer a big setback this time!]

[Don't worry, the Terran civilization is not a pushover, they will definitely be very careful! ]

[Haha, this is the ingenious work of the designer of Azure Star No. 009. Even every step of investigation and layout is so exciting! ]

[I feel like a war is about to break out. Look, the Terran civilization's fleet is approaching our trap area!]

[Don't be happy too soon, the Terra civilization reacts very quickly, and their commander is likely to see through this! ]

Under Sterkar's gaze, the Terra civilization's reconnaissance fleet has entered the energy trap area set up by Elena.

Their detectors began to receive signals from the false fleet of the Raider Planet, and the data within the system was constantly interfered with, showing false energy fluctuations and battleship layouts.

Zhizi calmly reported: "Master Pioneer, the reconnaissance ship of the Terra civilization has been deceived by the jamming signal.

Their systems are feeding back false information, judging that our main fleet is right in front of them!"

Leo smiled excitedly: "It seems that our trap was successful. The Terra civilization's reconnaissance fleet is retreating. They are likely to report this false intelligence to their headquarters!"

Sterkar still did not relax, but seemed calmer: “Very good, Leo, stay alert and don’t make any moves.

We can't let them realize that this is just a bluff, we must wait for their main fleet to respond!"

Elena exhaled lightly, with a hint of excitement on her face: “Master Pioneer, our plan worked.

They will surely think that we have deployed a major fleet in the area!"

Holden stood aside at this time, frowning: “Master Pioneer, although they are confused, our resource problem is still difficult.

If the Terran civilization launches a real attack, our supply lines may face great pressure!"

After listening to this, Sterkar pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: “Holden, the resource problem is a long-term problem that has troubled us for the time being.

But you have to remember, as long as we can win a few key victories, the oppression of Terra civilization will be weakened, and the pressure on resources will be relieved!"

Holden sighed, the anxiety on his face still not completely subsided: "Master Pioneer, I will do my best to ensure the stability of the supply line, but if the battle lasts too long, we may have to consider other strategies!"

Sterkar nodded, and his tone became more resolute: “Holden, I understand your concerns.

We cannot allow resource issues to become our weakness.

But for now, we can only deal with the immediate threat.

Elena, Leo, Holden, all of us must unite and prepare for the coming battle!"

Leo said firmly: “Master Pioneer, don’t worry, we are ready.

No matter how the Terran civilization's fleet attacks, we will strike back head-on!"

Elena also smiled and nodded: “Yes, Master Pioneer.

With these new technologies, the next battle will be smoother!"

Sterkar looked around at his team, trust in his eyes: “Very good, everyone, continue to act according to the plan.

Every step that follows is crucial, and any negligence will lead to failure!"

Time passed slowly, and the fleet of Terra civilization was still lingering at the border, as if planning its next move.

Although they were temporarily confused by false information, Sterkar understood that the real crisis was yet to come.

The commanders of the Terra civilization will not be easily fooled. They will advance step by step to find the real weakness of the attacker planet.
