Chapter 570: Another Encounter with Beauty

Both the Coffee Master and the Bartender nodded in understanding

Lan Jue turned his attention to the Driver “We will lead the First and Second Brigade in an attack on the Moonfiend Palace We need to get it under our control as fast as possible”

The Driver nodded, but turned to speak to Xiaosu “How much opposition can we expect in the Palace?”

“It looks like a fortress from the outside, and it is,” Xiaosu said “A lot of its defensive round They will also have around a thousand un hidden in the buttresses that can fire a projectile over ten thousand uns they use for planetary defense”

The Driver looked at her with eyes wide as saucers “You’re shitting un like that in your own fortress, are you crazy? Fire that thing once and the radiated energy will fry everyone”

Xiaosu seemed a little e, I’m confident it works I installed it in the event of invasion So in short, thatfor trouble”

These sorts of guns were standard for planetary defenses systems, as well as Bastions Like any other weapon, they came in various calibers

Lan Jue remeun It was part of their Arachnid-class Bastion’s warfare suite One blast fro Even Jue Di couldn’t survive a direct shot

Naturally your average defense systeun that powerful But even a standard-caliber railgun could rip through a battleship’s shields Three bloas all it took for those guns to turn their ships into slag One could iine what it’d do to a person

Used on a planet’s surface, a railgun blast had the same force as a neutron boht in the explosion would be evaporated All that at just a third of what the technology could do! If they turned it on a mecha division, the soldiers would be routed in uns used in planetary defense were strictly forbidden for use on planet surfaces With how much strain they produced, too uns were all installed facing outward so they couldn’t ever be turned on their own

Su Xiaosu’s gall was evident with this revelation She didn’t put a full railgun in her palace, but at a third of its potential there was nothing on the planet’s surface that could un to me,” Lan Jue said “I’ll deal with it”

Lan Jue’s involveest on and the Pharrapher didn’t count

Xiaosu went on to underline their plan “The first e send in has to be the strongest These are the areas we need to control…”

She quickly went over the strategy, indicating the iital map she provided Copies were downloaded onto everyone’s co

The war ain they went over the information and the plan until every detail was discussed This was going to be a defining experience for the Division, more so than any ence If one part of the plan didn’t go ser of collapse

When the first light of day began to paint the city, theconcluded Leaders went their separate ways for soade went out into the city and bought new sets of clothes Thus concealed, they spread out through Crescent City to prepare Then it caade

Even as a pirate planet, there was a fairly good infrastructure of public transportation between cities Even scheduled transport ships were a common site, where in all the rest of the Starfields they would be unthinkable They were only used on-planet, though – it was too dangerous to have the slow craft out in space, where any nuer to take a chomp out of it

Tickets were available toThey did it to keep the population under control Pirates did not need to pay for transport There were more than five hundred soldiers who ade It took over twenty trips and the better part of a day to get everyone into Luna

In stark contrast to Crescent City, Luna’s streets were absent the uishable from places on an Alliance homeworld But as they walked the streets, Lan Jue and Xiaosu saw no less than three brawls This spoke to a criher than the city’s upscale look let on
