Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1321 - 1287: Holding Back the Troops

"I don't know how long we can hold on!"

Chen Fei mumbled to himself as he looked at the images captured remotely, unsure whether he was referring to how long the psi skill "Isolation" could last, or how long the current situation could hold.

The kilometer Flying Ship "No.2 Command Ship" maintained a distance of 300 kilometers from the sealed Abnormal Region, not daring to get too close. Many small Flying Ships carrying instruments and equipment from various sources began to get closer for observation.

The reserved gap was sufficient for these devices to attempt to assess the various anomalies caused by the "Abnormal Region."

Due to differences in civilizational technology routes, possibly including the "Sagali" civilization's assimilation of other intelligent civilizations' gains, it was challenging for the scientists of the Blue Star Civilization to make significant progress in a short period.

The "Prehistoric Civilization Guardians" organization was completely wiped out, and all personnel were thoroughly interrogated. They were not worried about lying and concealment because Chen Fei had ample interrogation experts capable of discerning and extracting valuable information.

Moreover, these people had no human rights under Chen Fei. If they cooperated honestly, they could at least benefit from leniency for confession. However, if they dared to be half-hearted or treat others as fools, they would face difficulty, eventually confessing everything honestly.

A vast amount of interrogation records, after consolidation, revealed faint clues about the whereabouts of the real Longinus.

Following leads from the "Prehistoric Civilization Guardians" organization, the amount of counterfeit Longinus seized showed an unusual discrepancy.

A batch disappeared a week ago, known only to the leader who was blasted to smithereens for resisting arrest. This clue was inadvertently discovered by someone responsible for vehicle maintenance. But now the clue has been lost with the leader's demise, making it difficult to continue pursuing.

However, according to Chen Fei's intelligence team, the Longinus that Tuiana Sovereignty lost most likely fell into the hands of the "Prehistoric Civilization Guardians" organization, and then most likely ended up with the "Sagali" civilization.

Although the Longinus should have been lost during the internal conflict in Zilu Continent on Cangqiong Star, it was ultimately kept safe and did not fall into the "Sagali" civilization's hands as in Lord Landon's previous life memories.

Yet, this time, a Longinus from Blue Star was finally seized by the "Sagali" civilization.

Lord Landon's memories from a previous life have been altered, and Cangqiong Star did not lose Longinus.

But there seemed to be an invisible force trying to pull the timeline back to the path of Lord Landon's previous life memories.

It's unclear if the sovereignties are worried about this; at the very least, Second Brother has already begun to worry.

Blue Star is his home; his family and friends are here. The vast cosmic void offers no second home. Although there remains the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space as a retreat, it is the last resort and if not necessary, he is reluctant to easily give up this homeland.

The "Sagali" civilization has already secured the first Longinus, and whether or not the Longinus that went missing on the Africa Continent has fallen into their hands, at least, neither the Blue Star nor Cangqiong Star's Dimensional Gates are currently safe and could become invasion pathways for the "Sagali" civilization at any time.

Adam: The battle within the fourth 'Abnormal Region' has subsided.

Not only was there fierce fighting inside the "Abnormal Region," but the ships and Combat Mechs trapped within had also depleted all ammunition and completely lost combat strength.

With the supply of one logistics ship within, keeping the battle going until now was no easy feat.

The sovereignties demanded Chen Fei continue dispatching Combat Spaceships and a Mechanical Army into the "Abnormal Region" for reinforcement.

However, until the tactical units trapped inside fought to the last soldier, apart from deploying some ammunition and Crystalline Blocks, Chen Fei remained stationary and did not send substantial reinforcements.

On one hand, the situation was unclear, and solely relying on the flash communication method could not garner much intelligence. On the other hand, the combat force Chen Fei had was limited, with most of Blue Star's dispatched outside the atmosphere to block the spatial fissure where the Digitally Intelligent Construct "Cybertrom" had its main body dismantled.

Even though there were still many reserves in the "Spatial Branding" and "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, and the military production lines of the two "Skylight" cities, "Atlantis" and "Randon," were operating at full capacity, gradually increasing combat strength. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But Chen Fei was unwilling to easily play this last card.

No one knows how many trump cards the "Sagali" civilization holds, but whoever plays their cards first is assuredly the loser in the end, this is undeniable.

Who knows if the "Sagali" civilization has a pair of Longinus and decisively opens a Dimensional Gate on Blue Star's surface to output troops in full force.

The Blue Star Civilization may pay any price to seal the "Wormhole Cloud," but may not have the resolve to seal the Dimensional Gate. Losing the Dimensional Gate means losing Cangqiong Star, a loss too great to bear on any front.

Of course, there is the substitute "Stargate" available for use, but the issue again falls back on Second Brother. He has a finite lifespan, and whether "Adam," who holds the complete mystery of the "Stargate's" operation, will continue to listen is something only God knows.

Compared to the Dimensional Gate, which can only establish one-to-one connections, the risk factor of the "Stargate" is evidently higher.

Using the "Stargate" sparingly and securely protecting encrypted coordinates presents no major issue. However, widespread use and losing it to the "Sagali" civilization will instantly dissolve Blue Star Civilization's defense system.

Given the untrustworthy behavior of the South Continent of America's sovereignties and the unreliable appearances of Africa Continent's sovereignties, the likelihood of the "Stargate" changing hands again is not low, likely even higher than the probability of Longinus theft.

Because of these pig teammates' presence, facing the "Sagali" civilization, an opponent like a deity, Chen Fei had no choice but to keep some strength in reserve. At the very least, it was necessary to ensure that in the worst-case scenario, they could still scrape together and take with them as much of Blue Star Civilization's population and assets as possible.

The Life Tree provides spiritual power as vast as the sea, and within a 1,000-kilometer radius, Chen Fei can take away a substantial amount of things.

Of course, the premise is that these people must not be resistant in their hearts.

Perhaps due to the nature of the soul, if intelligent species harbor resistance in their hearts, Chen Fei's spiritual power struggles to bring them into the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space.
