Chapter 577: Crossing Paths
Their mission was done Most of the ships were in flae sit in theruin Soon the ships beside it would explode With the destruction that would cause, it would be days before the ship could fly The air field’s defenses were obliterated before they could be turned on
On Luna, at the Moonfiend Palace, the mission continued
The Driver and Lan Jue took over theorders to their troops They still had a lot to do
Lan Jue rushed to theto Majesty to help decrypt the pirate’s systeiven the Accountant a wealth of infor in a breeze
“I’m in,” the Accountant confirmed”
They could hear explosions in the distance Alar off all across their monitors This was the central control room for more than just the palace It monitors the planet’s defense systems and satellites, too Once an alarm was tripped on an airfield, it showed up on their screens
A grin spread across Lan Jue’s face He shot the Driver a thumbs-up The Driver responded with a nod to say he was ready

The Driver was surprised “I thought the plan was to defend this place Where are you planning on going?”
Lan Jue smirked “I sense a presence; a presence of an old friend I’ll stay here, you go ahead Don’t delay”
The Driver ise enough to know this was not the tied the plan, but he changed into a bolt of electricity and shot toward his new target
Star Division’s objectives were straight-forward; take the Palace, and engage its defenses First and Second Brigade were to flood the halls and deal with the pirates within Once the Palace was under their control, they would use it to eradicate the re ene as the Star Division kept their cool, their chance at victory were good
