On the day the Xinhuo completed its upgrade, Lu Feng used its submarine characteristics to successfully infiltrate into the secret planet of the Tianci Star camp.

The size of this gas giant planet is comparable to Skyrim 4, and the severe thunderstorms inside are even worse. The secret forces of the two dukes used imperial technology to stabilize a safe channel in the violent and dense atmosphere. There are sentries in the channel.

There are entire empire-level formations patrolling back and forth.

This is a secret fleet that has never appeared in the sun, and it is also the fourth empire-level formation of the Tianci Star side.

Through detailed scanning on March 7, this empire-level formation has been modified by Weigel technology. Not only has its combat effectiveness been significantly improved, it is also equipped with very advanced gravitational wave detectors.

If the Xinhuo came rashly before it was upgraded, the old Mirage system would not be able to guarantee that it would not be detected even if it was almost face to face.

Once discovered by the stationed Tianci Star Fleet, with such a narrow channel and the planet's powerful gravity well... the Xinhuo had almost no possibility of escaping.

As expected, it was a very correct decision not to rashly underestimate the background of the Imperial Dukes.

After successfully infiltrating, the Xinhuo quietly arrived at an eggshell-shaped safe space deep in the atmosphere. This space was very large, with a diameter of more than a hundred kilometers, but it was not naturally formed, but was forcibly created by humans using technological equipment.

of.

The rolling thunderclouds, blue barriers and suspended force field equipment at the edge of the space are all clearly visible.

A long time ago, the empire officially conducted detailed explorations of all the planets within its territory. If there was any secret space here, it would have been marked in the files, which would be very conspicuous.

Therefore, the Dukes would rather spend huge manpower and material resources to forcibly transform the environment here, but also ensure the confidentiality of this place. Seeing that this is the root of the opponent's subversion of the empire.

Bypassing the floating facilities and ships that covered the periphery of the space, a huge ring-shaped building appeared in front of everyone. For the people of Shentang, the shape was very familiar.

A stargate.

A star gate that is no different from the ancestral star gate in the creation space!

There are a large number of factories, ports and logistics bases floating next to the Star Gate, which is obviously the real home base of the Tiansend Star forces.

Lu Feng had previously guessed that the opponent's trump card was a super battleship, or a secret weapon, but he didn't expect it to be the ancestral star gate. If it was a star gate...

Lu Feng instantly understood the opponent's tactics.

First, they colluded with the 026 Logistics Base to create chaos in the Imperial Border Legion and reduce its combat effectiveness; then they recruited the Vigor people to attack the Imperial defense line from the front, forcing them to fight hastily; and finally, through the secret star gate hidden in the Empire, the Vigor people were

The Er raid fleet secretly teleported to the rear of the border, bypassed the space blocker, and carried out front and rear pincer attacks on the Imperial Army in the fierce border battle.

In this way, as long as the Weigel people come with the main fleet, even if the imperial garrison is large in size, they will be defeated by successive raids.

By then, the entire Third Frontier will be in chaos, without the defense of the Imperial Army, and the entire sector will fall into enemy hands.

But the problem is that letting the Vegor people in is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. How can the two dukes be sure that the Vegor people will hand over the sector to them after victory?

Is there still a back-up plan that I don’t know about?

Or is it that the two dukes and the Weigel people are originally in the same group?

Yes, if the two dukes had already taken refuge with Archduke Mordiggian and became secret lords under his command, then everything would make sense.

The intelligence previously obtained on Tatooine showed that the fleet under Archduke Weigel was gathering, and there must be an important military operation.

At first, I thought that the other party's mobilization was to launch a large-scale exploration into the depths of the Jedi, but now it seems that the fleet led by Wallaway is just the tip of the iceberg of strategic deployment, and the bulk of the planning is still on the empire's side.

Once this plan succeeds, the Weigel people can seize one-third of the empire's territory except the capital area at the minimum cost, and completely break away from the harsh environment in which their ancestors have lived for generations.

The center of the empire was undergoing a change of power and was unable to organize a critical battle, so it could only allow the Weigel people to occupy and consolidate the territory.

It has to be said that the Weigel people chose their timing perfectly.

But are these really the only motivations?

Lu Feng couldn't help but think of the intelligence sent back from Weigel's control area a while ago.

The Iron Crows were originally going to search for the Weigel raiding fleet, but before the fleet could be found, they discovered signs of Zerg activity first.

Different from the Zerg Zerg that opened the wormhole, what was discovered this time was Shen Tang's old friend, the Vajra Zerg that once ravaged the space cemetery.

The location where Vajula appeared was deep in the Iron-Blooded Jedi!

"I see, are we going to break away from the Zerg..."

Lu Feng felt that he had found the truth of the matter.

In the home of Archduke Mordiggian, the Vajra swarm deep in the Iron-Blooded Jedi is about to revive and begin to spread towards the area controlled by Weigel.

For some unknown reason, Mordiggian was not prepared to fight to the death with the swarm, so he wanted to transfer territory and turned his attention to the Empire.

As long as he can seize a piece of territory from the empire and stay far away from the expansion route of the insect swarm, then his power will be safe.

Because the Iron-Blooded Jedi are next to the first border of the empire and the farthest away from the third border, the empire will be the first to bear the brunt and must use all its strength to fight against the insect swarm. Once the capital is empty, maybe the Vigor people will be able to march straight in and occupy the heart of the empire.

Ambitious, ruthless, damned executioner.

This is Lu Feng’s evaluation of Mordiggian.

For all this, he sat back and watched the insect swarm revive, acquiesced in the insect swarm's expansion, and single-handedly caused the destruction of all life in the star field along the way, seriously weakening the resistance of the human race, and may even cause the entire situation to collapse.

At this moment, Lu Feng even had the urge to hand over all the information to the empire, but he quickly calmed down.

The Empire is not a good bird either. If the Empire knew that the Zerg were about to resurrect, they would definitely close the country tightly and prevent the Weigel people from escaping.

It is an inevitable decision made by the empire's high-level officials to sit back and watch the Weigel people and the insects fight to the death. It is best for both sides to perish together.

As informants, the Skylanders will not have any substantial benefits. On the contrary, they will be coveted and feared by the empire, and even besieged and suppressed.

In this way, let the empire and the Weigel people fight here to see who is more powerful.

And we can't just let them fight on both sides, but also drag the insects into it to form a melee, temporarily curbing the spread of the insect swarm.

Lu Feng made up his mind and decided to further infiltrate the secret base in front of him.

The 520-meter-long Xinhuo was not small and could easily be hit by some unsightly aircraft in the crowded base space. Therefore, after setting down Lu Feng, Lin Yuexi and the ghosts, they entered a state of stealth in the void and waited.

In the past, Lin Yuexi would have waited on the boat to serve as Lu Feng's jump anchor point to facilitate the response.

But now the Xinhuo has a sufficient supply of psionic energy, and the Prothean's psychic jumping technology has been put into use, which can jump the ground action team onto the ship without anyone noticing.

The security inside the floating base is much looser than on the outside. It should be tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

This is normal. If there is a turmoil inside, it will greatly affect the engineering and production efficiency, which is very fatal for Tiancixing who lacks time.

Therefore, Lu Feng and Lin Yuexi split into two groups, each leading 10 ghost agents to successfully infiltrate the base.

Lu Feng's goal was the star gate, while Lin Yuexi's goal was to find the location of the dwarves, see the clan leader's situation, and find out what the terrible weapon the clan leader mentioned was.

Both sides had remote information support from March 7th. The access control and surveillance encountered along the way were successfully cracked, and they penetrated into the core area with overwhelming force.

On Lu Feng's side, he knew his ancestor's star gate very well, and he discovered problems as soon as he entered the star gate.

This star gate is not a relic of the ancestors, but a copy of the other party. Many places are rough and full of traces of assembly and rush work. No wonder it was transported here secretly. It may not be in operation for long before it will be scrapped.

However, the function is not much different from the Ancestral Star Gate. Not only can it be connected to the star gate in the empire, it can also cross the star field and directly connect to another ancestor star gate in Weigel.

Moreover, its diameter is much larger than the original one in the Creation Space, and its delivery capability is much stronger, if it is not damaged in the process.

This would make it much more convenient for Lu Feng.

The control programs and facilities of the Ancestral Stargate are not easy to usurp, but if they are imitations of the Vigor people, especially if they are temporary structures, the firewall will be easier to crack.

According to March 7th's command, Lu Feng secretly arranged back-ups at key locations in the Star Gate. One set could ensure its paralysis, while the other set could forcibly take over control of the Star Gate if necessary.

On the other side, Lin Yuexi finally found the dwarves in the industrial base.

As a race with excellent engineering talents, it goes without saying that they are responsible for the manufacture of key equipment, and Lin Yuexi also saw the behemoth inside the enclosed dock.

A nearly completed super-dreadnought!

It seemed that this was the secret weapon of the Dukes. The length of this ship was more than 8,000 meters. It was the first time for Lin Yuexi to see such a huge warship. She couldn't help but look at it carefully, thinking about how to bring this big guy back. Well, Lu Feng will definitely praise himself when the time comes.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this ship has a strong Kuat Power Dockyard style, and there are traces of renovation. It is likely that it was renovated and upgraded from an old ship. Although it is an 8,000-meter-class giant ship, it is very big. The black and thick road may have the same combat power as the 5000-meter-class dreadnought of Goblin Heavy Industry.

After she quietly stole the construction information of this ship, her evaluation of it became even lower.

One is that Tianci Star's shipbuilding capabilities are not as good as those of the official Empire, and coupled with insufficient resources and tight construction schedules, this ship is quite cut corners and has a huge body but is full of straw.

More importantly, this thing requires a full 30,000 people to maintain operation, and its maneuverability is extremely poor. Shen Tang Shen Tang can't even drive it for free. At most, it can be pulled back and used as a space station.

It’s really tasteless!

Lin Yuexi curled her lips helplessly.

Sure enough, a dreadnought is not that easy to snatch, even with March 7th.

So let's continue looking for the clan leader. As long as we find the clan leader, we can know the details of this base and the specific plans of the Duke's side.

The clan leader was not difficult to find. Lin Yuexi was invisible and telepathic, and cooperated with March 7 to lead the way. She quickly found the clan leader who was in extremely poor condition and led him to an unmanned rest room.

Under the surprised gaze of the other party, the collaborator who had never met before finally appeared.

"Phew, after such a long time, I thought you were dead... Time is running out, let's get straight to the point!"

The dwarf leader's physical condition is very bad. He has not yet recovered from his injuries from being tortured by the mercenary leader. In addition, he has been busy with the finishing work of the dreadnought during this period, so that his face is haggard and he seems to be about to collapse at any time.

Lin Yuexi persuaded him to sit down considerately, then put on a conversational posture and spoke seriously.

"You can call me...Lin, I am here on behalf of Tianji Star. We are a force independent of the empire and Weigel.

Although I can't compete with them head-on, my methods are enough to participate in this incident. My ability to appear quietly in front of you is the best proof.

My power needs an independent living space, so it is impossible to take refuge in either of the two. I think we are a natural partner."
