After his subordinates had all left, Paul opened the video to watch.
The video was an overhead view. The resolution wasn't very high, but it was still possible to make out the general scene. Paul immediately recognized that the video was shot from space.
After watching it, Paul understood that the convoy had failed due to energy weapons with linear trajectories. Since these linear energy weapons were not coordinated with aerial vehicles, they were unable to hit the opposing forces. However, the weapons in the Four-Handed Sinners' Sin City were all linear energy weapons.
“It seems we’ll have to deploy aerial transport vehicles this time.”
Under the heavy pressure from Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City, ten thousand Four-Handed Sinners were quickly assembled. To ensure these Four-Handed Sinner troops obeyed orders, Paul specifically allocated one thousand City Guards from the City Guard. These thousand City Guards were equipped with the most powerful weapons, so under their supervision, they could also serve as the main force in this battle.
Meanwhile, in space, aboard a medium-sized spaceship of the Four-Handed Sinner race, the leader, Borg, was observing the scene of Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City through the spaceship’s ultra-high-resolution radar.
At this moment, a massive convoy had emerged from Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City. After the convoy had traveled a considerable distance, aerial vehicles finally began to fly out from Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City.
These aerial vehicles used a combination of hover engines and rotor wings for flight. They could reach an altitude of ten thousand meters. However, these aerial vehicles were definitely not spacecraft and could not reach space.
Borg watched the ground-level footage and said, “Hehehe, Paul has deployed ten thousand Four-Handed Sinners this time, and aerial vehicles as well. How will this unidentified force respond? Let me see the true strength of this unidentified force!”
Another observer standing nearby said, “Boss, I didn’t expect you to have such a hobby. The weapons of that unidentified force seem a bit outdated. If our medium-sized spaceship descended, we could suppress them in an instant. Such an unidentified force would be reduced to dust under the attack of our medium-sized spaceship.”
Borg looked at another monitoring screen. On this screen, the ground was obscured by a layer of mist.
Borg said, “Look at this mist, and you’ll know. This mist is so dense that even our technology cannot penetrate it. This proves that this newly emerged unidentified force surpasses us in certain aspects of technology. We would be at some risk if we attacked them rashly.”
“Risk? Where does the risk come from?”
Borg replied, “It is precisely because we don’t know where the danger lies that we are letting those exiles below test the waters first. Only after testing will we know which race or civilization is behind this unidentified force.”
“Race or civilization? Boss, so that’s how it is. That unidentified force was sent by some race or civilization! I see. No wonder they are acting like this, no wonder you haven’t deployed. If we were to deploy, and that race or civilization sent a large army, our spaceship would be destroyed. We Four-Handed Sinners fear no race or civilization, but we are afraid of that.”
Borg nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right. We Four-Handed Sinners are currently at war with other races and civilizations. Our main army will not be deployed here. Even if we send reinforcements, they can only be small detachments, and it will take ten days to arrive. In those ten days, weaker civilizations could even wipe us out. Therefore, we need to see if this unidentified force is truly an advance party sent by some race or civilization.”
“You really think things through, boss. If that unidentified force is indeed an advance party of another race or civilization, then why are they here? This planet, Tatajiao, no longer has much value.”
Borg replied, “Precisely, this planet Tatajiao no longer has any value. Therefore, the purpose of those true advance parties from other races or civilizations coming here is to lure out the main army of the Four-Handed Sinners. As long as they establish a massive military base here, our Four-Handed Sinner army will not be able to ignore it and will have to send a large army to annihilate it.”
“You’re truly impressive, boss, to see so much. What if that unidentified force is indeed an advance troop from another race or civilization?”
Borg said, “Then we will retreat and report to our superiors, letting them send a large army to eliminate them.”
“…”
At this moment, the ten-thousand-strong force that had departed from Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City on Tatajiao planet quickly covered dozens of kilometers.
The radar near the portal also detected this force.
This time, the radar incorporated magic array technology, thus significantly enhancing its performance.
A technician shouted, “Detected a departing force from Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City, ten times the previous scale. Aerial targets have also been deployed.”
Major General Hua Deyun immediately went to the command center.
“Ten times the scale? Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City has dispatched over ten thousand Four-Handed Sinners. It seems we need to deploy more troops and more firepower this time. Where are our Global Type 3 drones? When will they encounter that convoy?”
“According to the calculated route, they will not encounter each other.”
“It seems to be interference from disruptive particles again. Divert fifty of the one hundred Global Type 3 drones to detour and continue filming that Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City. The other fifty Global Type 3 drones might encounter the force dispatched by Four-Handed Sinners’ Sin City. Pay attention to collecting intelligence then.”
“Yes!” the technician replied.
The Dragon Country soldiers around the portal immediately mobilized.
As the troops prepared, various colonels from the Dragon Country were contemplating whether they would be assigned as commanders this time. Unexpectedly, half of the colonels received deployment orders.
Each colonel thought they would be the commander for this operation, but then they saw their orders stating that they were only responsible for one of the teams.
The Dragon Country had already dispatched fifty thousand personnel here, with forty thousand being Dragon Country soldiers. The remaining ten thousand were primarily technical and scientific personnel.
This time, twenty colonels received spiritual energy and each led about a thousand soldiers, totaling twenty thousand troops.
Seeing that they were only leading a thousand men, the colonels knew that the overall commander of this operation was not them.
After they had all assembled, they saw Major General Hua Deyun board the command center vehicle, and they knew that Major General Hua Deyun was the commander of this operation.
Soon, twenty thousand Dragon Country troops marched out in full force, preparing to set up an ambush at a certain location.
