Chapter 565: Turning a Planet into a Photograph?
Su Xiaosu’s eyebrows drew together “We have to take the main planet as quickly as we can, to avoid casualties I know that personally Most of the clan’s poill be concentrated there as well If we can take theht now are the battleships docked on the other planets, and the planetary defense syste we take the main planet without any proble out way before we can respond We’ll have a hard ti them off The two satellite planets and their defenses will cancel out whatever benefit we get from the main planet”
The Drive nodded at her deter up We’re already a sreater chance at routing our people It’s dangerous”
Su Xiaosu replied “I’e we can do is limited When I established the defenses we did it in layers The first line is attack, and the second is defense If they don’t outright destroy the ene to encounter resistance fro WeMajesty and Zeus-1 will be fine, but those on the ground won’t have anywhere to retreat to”
The Bartender was next to share his views “So what you’re saying is we need a way to keep the other two planets pinned dohile we deal with the main one Once we have control of it we can use the planetary defenses to protect ourselves from counter-attack”
“Not only that, remember that the pirate clans of the other planets aren’t so well organized,” Xiaosu said “Their first instinct will be to scatter, not engage They aren’t soldiers, so a quick and hard attack will shake morale We just need to hit the main planet hard and hold on to it We’ll keep Majesty on patrol The pirates wouldn’t dare throw themselves on their swords for the Pontiff’s Citadel
“The Bartender is right We focus on the main planet and use it to fend off the others Especially with Majesty’s speed and weapon syste one planet shouldn’t be that hard But, I haven’t thought up an answer to the satellites yet Zeus-1 will be too busy ferrying troops, and doesn’t hit hard enough at any rate”
Lan Jue listened with thoughtful expression “How about I go in with Alpha Squad? With the Gourh” The three of theh destructive power between theon, while Lan Jue and the Pharmacist were nearly there themselves They didn’t shy froht about that,” Xiaosu revealed “Troop strength is considerable on the main planet We also have to assus Strong as we are I’ht This is their turf, if we get pinned doe’ll be surrounded and overrun in no ti casualties it may be too fast to control – then we bite the dust All this needs ht It doesn’t work yet I think we should hit nearby target and search for an opportunity If one doesn’t reveal itself, we retreat Safety has to be the priority”
“It’s just one piddly little planet, isn’t it? What’s the problem, just leave it to me” This time it was a lazy, somewhat irritated voice that answered The neakened Luo Xianni appeared fro, and plopped down onto a nearby chair
“Ma, you…” Lan Jue looked at her questioningly
“What?” She snapped “Am I not part of your little Star Division, h around in this miserable tub with you for no reason? Your mother needs a little exercise too, you know Have to move these old bones Just point out the one you need me to deal with”
Lan Jue meekly pressed her further “What do you plan to do?” He realized his step s differently than nor her free reign Strong as she was, a slight probleated disaster
Her response was tepid “Turn it to a photo, what of it? Let theo”
“Y-… the whole planet?” Lan Jue’s jaw nearly struck the floor Even his voice cracked
Su Xiaosu was too stunned to speak The cigar perched between the Driver’s lips turound The Coffee Master was shaken that coffee in his hand spilled all over his white shirt The Bartender fared better, only choking on his own saliva He launched in to a fit of coughing
The Gourmet’s face twitched The Phar to the others, and was content to just execute the plans
“Ma, are you sure that’s even so humans are capable of?” Lan Jue forced hiravation was still clear in her voice “S your mother isn’t human, ey?! How could you call yourself my son? If that reprobate you call a father were here he could turn all three of those planets into space dust by hi the easy pickings? What are a few planets, they don’t ot three hours to take control of the main planet Leave one of the others to me Just remember that heaven demands morality Don’t kill for no reason, there are bound to be workers and families that don’t deserve to die I’ll help keep theons – especially Paragons as strong as she was – rarely showed their strength They especially loathed taking life for no good reason At their levels of power, their bodies and souls were steeped in the true nature of the universe If they killed negligently protogenia would take revenge on their own bodies
