Chapter 1044: Chapter 568, Action Inside the Ship
During the assembly process, Matins scanned his surroundings, analyzing the environment he was in.
The location they were in seemed like a dining area, and at this moment, there were certainly no enemies here.
Beside him, many spiritual bodies formed by Storm Divine Power were âwearingâ Alliance Army uniforms, looking at him with reverence. When his gaze swept past, many Heroic Spirits would spontaneously salute him with the Alliance salute.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, he nodded in response.
A Heroic Spirit Officer came up and reported that the estimated straight-line distance to the mission target was 11 kilometers.
Of course, this is a straight-line distance, calculated by Gu Hang after using Spiritual Energy to observe the location of the Neuron Progeny. In between, they might have to ascend seven levels, and the path would wind through uncertain distances.
Gu Hang provided the Phoenix a specific route through the Heroic Spirit Officer. However, it would only serve as a reference, as Gu Hang couldnât manage to obtain a complete internal structure map of the Alfonso II with all the pressures at hand.
Not to mention that it also involved the enemyâs troop composition.
The enemyâs troop deployment was constantly changing with the frontline battle situation.
The following matters had to be resolved by the eight companies of the Phoenix Battle Group on their own.
But there was a piece of good news, Heroic Spirit Officer Edward Leveille assured Matins that his squad would accompany the Interstellar Warriors in their actions.
Of course, this action was not referring to combat engagements.
Understandably, with eight hundred Interstellar Warriors here, any combat wouldnât really require assistance from just a dozen Heroic Spirits.
Their main task was to serve as information relays, providing intelligence support.
This intelligence wasnât solely reliant on themselves.
In reality, Gu Hang would allocate some of his Spiritual Energy to handle these tasks.
These Heroic Spirits were essentially manifestations of Gu Hangâs Spiritual Energy, equivalent to small Spiritual Energy nodes. The power extended through them could use these Heroic Spirits to scout a relatively large area, providing real-time map drawing, navigation, and enemy unit detection for the Interstellar Warriors.
However, most of Gu Hangâs power was still confronting the Neuron Progeny and supporting hundreds of thousands of Heroic Spirits in the main battlefield on the ship, entangled with the Protection Army. He didnât have adequate energy to finely manage battlefield perception.
Moreover, allocating too much power might easily be detected by Sage Dubo.
Therefore, the intelligence support that Gu Hang could provide was not very extensive, with limited scouting range and constrained enemy foresight capabilities.
But Matins expressed that this was already very surprising.
Eight hundred Interstellar Warriors formally commenced their operation.
They split into many independent action groups, which were also tightly interconnected, advancing swiftly towards the target in the complex terrain of the ship.
Matins felt a very familiar sensation returning.
Throughout his past military career, especially during the century-long crusade of atonement, they had handled similar situations countless times.
Plunging deep alone, raiding key targets... isnât this what they have done most often?
Moreover, they werenât truly isolated in their advance this time.
Heroic Spirit Officer Leveilleâs voice often resonated, guiding their actions; as they moved, the surrounding situation became increasingly clear and comprehensible.
This was not a focal battlefield, and it was a certain distance from the core areas heavily guarded by the Protection Army. As long as they didnât stray onto the routes where enemy reinforcements moved to the frontline, they wouldnât encounter large enemy forces.
The worst case would be encountering small patrol teams.
If they could be avoided, they would be remitted.
If avoidance was impossible, action would be taken.
The think tanks and technical sergeants within the battle group would be the first to act.
With Spiritual Energy or the interference devices carried by the technical sergeants, they would temporarily block the communication facilities of the patrol squads.
Simultaneously, the fiery Angels would charge out from behind, the sides, or even corners that were visual blind spots, in an unstoppable manner.
Often, these patrol squads couldnât even fire a shot before the Phoenixes were upon them.
In these moments, power swords and combat blades became weapons of absolute lethality.
With numerical advantage, conducting a close-range raid, the attacked Protection Army patrol squads truly couldnât even send out messages before being wiped out.
Any attempts to send alerts to other team members would be intercepted by the battle group think tanks or technical sergeants through various means.
Overall, the action progress of the Interstellar Warriors was very rapid.
With Gu Hang sparing time for navigation amidst his overwhelming tasks, they didnât take any detours and advanced a considerable distance in a short time.
Of course, it couldnât be all smooth sailing along the way.
To not mention anything else, the disappearance of a large number of patrol teams was itself an extremely dangerous signal that couldnât be overlooked casually.
In this regard, Gu Hang also made some preparations.
The coordinates left in that officer dining area were not wasted. Gu Hangâs Spiritual Energy emanated from there, deploying a group of Heroic Spirit Warriors.
After the Interstellar Warriors of the Phoenix left this area, they began acting, deliberately exposing themselves to the patrol teams, making it appear as though the previously missing patrol teams were all killed by these newly emerged Heroic Spirits opening another battlefield.
