Mars and the Moon!
Chapter 1596 Mars and the Moon!
Multiple batches of Shadowfiend drone reconnaissance teams successively emerged from the FLOD jump and quickly began reconnaissance of the target area.
With the activity of these Shadowfiend drone reconnaissance teams, the sight of ships from the Martian Viser Empire returning to Mars from various parts of space was clearly visible.
(Illustrative image, not a nuclear explosion lol)
This scene also confirms Ines's guess that the Viser Empire is very likely to use the hyperspace gate to directly deploy its forces to the Earth-Moon Sphere and cooperate with the Holy Britannian Empire.
"Master. Based on the information you provided earlier, and the intelligence gathered by the Shadowfiend drones, the number of Landfall Cities appearing in Mars orbit is close to the 37 Martian Knights described in the intelligence report."
After compiling the intelligence gathered by the Shadow Drone, the intelligent AI cube Adino handed it over to He Ming.
"Yes, that's to be expected. But it also means that Vesser might launch a surprise attack on Earth. Have VEDA and the Human Alliance been notified?"
"Yes. It has already been transmitted through our celestial bodies. In addition, the two sides recently reached a consensus and have completed the military-level communication channels."
"Iris, who was sitting to the side, said obediently."
"It seems the storm on Super Earth is putting them under pressure! Hmm, once we've dealt with the Viser Empire on Mars, we can start arranging reinforcements for the Earth-Moon Sphere!"
He Ming thought for a moment and looked at King Kong, who was watching the construction progress of the Jupiter outpost.
"King Kong. How much longer until the outpost is ready?"
"About 10 hours."
"Okay! Hopefully, Viser will wait quietly for the next ten hours."
Before He Ming could finish speaking, Adino seemed to have discovered a new situation.
"Master! A high-energy reaction has been detected on the Martian surface. Data analysis indicates it wasn't caused by combat. It's speculated to be energy released during the activation of the hyperspace gate."
"Compare this to the number of known landlocked cities on Mars!"
He Ming's spirits lifted, and he immediately pressed for an answer.
"Confirmed! All recorded locations of Yanglu City have not disappeared from our Shadowfiend drone surveillance. It's speculated that this may be a test before the full activation of the hyperspace gate."
"Oh? A test? Do we have people on Super Earth?"
The second half of He Ming's sentence was asked to Elise.
The latter closed its eyes briefly, made contact with the distant ELS object, and then opened its eyes again.
"There is a cargo spacecraft near the moon, which belongs to a super-Earth. However, it does not carry high-precision energy detection sensors, so it may not be able to pinpoint the location of the hyperspace gate."
"No problem! Hyperspace portals cannot be built indoors. There are only a few targets that can conceal the commotion caused by a hyperspace portal under construction on the moon."
He Ming casually opened a scene that Adino had reconstructed using his memories and pondered.
“Elise, have our people thoroughly search the area around the lunar city of Granada. Also, have VEDA send a small team to try and make contact with the Anaheim Electronics headquarters in the lunar city of Von Braun.”
After some deliberation, He Ming handed a specially encrypted message to Elise.
Elise blinked, feeling a little strange, but didn't ask anything.
Having been by He Ming's side for so long, it seems that He Ming always manages to reveal unexpected trump cards in various situations.
And that is exactly the case now.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any forces belonging to our side on the moon, which belongs to a super-Earth.
However, the specially encrypted information provided by He Ming suggests that he may have a backup plan.
"Understood! I'll start making contact now."
Super Earth, Lunar City, von Braun.
In a luxurious residential area in the center of a lunar city, a little boy of about six or seven years old, led by his father, enters a room surrounded by beautiful murals.
The murals depict images of girls, unicorns, and other creatures.
What attracted the boy's attention the most was the pure white unicorn.
Watching his son gaze intently at the pure white unicorn, the man holding the boy's hand, Cardias Vist, the current head of the Vist Corporation, said with satisfaction.
“Banaji, this is the beast of possibility… a symbol of hope!” “The beast of possibility? A symbol of hope?”
Banagher tilted his head and frowned slightly.
"Yes! A symbol of hope."
Cardias Bister reached out and patted Banagher's head. Just as he was about to say something, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Cardias! Cardias! Where have you hidden my beloved grandson Banagher?"
Upon hearing this voice, Cardias's face immediately fell.
His loving gaze was gradually overwhelmed by helplessness.
When his son, Banerjee Bist, heard the voice coming from outside the door, he immediately shouted with joy.
"Aunt Rita! I'm here!"
The door opened, and then Banagher's little head was slapped, followed by his face being pulled back and forth by a pair of small, white hands.
"You foolish grandson Banagher! You still have time to correct your form of address! Otherwise, hmph! Just wait and see how Rita deals with you!"
A girl with long, flowing hair and emerald green eyes was smilingly pinching Banagher's cheeks, her words carrying a threat that Banagher couldn't resist.
(Rita Bister, character introduction, relationship changes can be found in chapters 144-146 of this book)
“Auntie Rita…”
After his face was ravaged, Banagher finally succumbed to the threat from Rita Bist, a member of the Bist family whom he absolutely could not mess with.
"That's right! I'm not even an adult yet! Auntie and such are just too old!"
After patting Banagher's head with a grin, Rita Bister magically produced some beautifully packaged candies with a flick of her wrist.
"Come here! My lovely grandson Banagher. This is a reward for you!"
"Wow!! Thank you, Auntie... thank you, Auntie Rita!"
Upon seeing this, Banagher immediately accepted the candy with delight.
As for his own father, whether or not Cardias would give him anything was no longer a question.
"Aunt Rita, Banagher is losing his baby teeth and can't eat too much candy!"
Cardias looked helplessly at the girl in front of him, sighed, and gave her a reminder.
Who knew that Rita Bist would put her hands on her hips and point at Cardias and say...
"What?! My adorable Banagher already works so hard enough, how can he even eat something like this..."
Suddenly, Rita Bister's expression changed, and she subconsciously turned to look out the window.
Upon seeing this, Cardias immediately raised his hand and pressed the alarm device on the wall.
"No! Cardias, don't be alarmed! It's just a ripple. It's over in Granada. The chaos of this world has begun."
Rita Bister stopped Cardias, and her eyes became deep and mysterious.
"Send your men to this location to meet a ship, and don't let anyone know."
Cardias's expression changed, and he immediately became serious.
"Auntie. Has the Britannian Empire begun its operation?"
"No. The Britannian Empire is still sharpening its claws. This must be part of their grand plan. They seem to have accomplices in Granada. Also..."
"in addition?"
Seeing that Cardias was becoming increasingly serious, as if he dared not miss or misunderstand her words, Rita suddenly laughed out loud.
"Also, prepare to wake Father up!"
"what?"
