Shadows of the Deep Space

"Got it."

Mia nodded in response.

"Project it."

Su Ming said to Mia.

Mia raised her wristwatch and tapped a few times, projecting the defense star map of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.

Su Ming carefully observed the defense star map, then gravely said,

"It's not entirely impossible."

"You have a plan?"

Mia and the others looked at Su Ming with great curiosity.

"If you look closely at the defense map of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, you'll see that the frontline mining points and strongholds, being close to the Federation, have amassed significant military force to prevent attacks. Now that the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country is pushing forward strategically, continuously attacking our mining points, they must increase the garrison force in the frontline areas. But the military force of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country is also limited. With so much force on the frontlines, the rear strongholds are definitely vulnerable."

Su Ming seriously analyzed to everyone present.

"You want to bypass here and attack their rear strongholds to force them to divide their forces to return?"

Mia immediately understood what Su Ming wanted to do.

"Yes!"

"This is somewhat risky. Even if their rear forces are weak, if we attack the rear, their troops will definitely return to reinforce, and we could end up surrounded."

"No matter, this ship has stealth capabilities. As long as we're careful not to get caught, we'll be fine."

"Then where do you plan to attack in the rear?"

"Naturally, the enemy's vital stronghold, close by, meeting all the conditions, is right here."

Su Ming pointed towards a large stronghold behind the giant planet.

Mia, seeing the stronghold Su Ming pointed to, exclaimed,

"The Norton Transfer Station, one of the two major transfer stations of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country in the Abyss of Descent, responsible for supply transit and signal relay. If we hit here, they won't just send a small force to reinforce, right?"

"Mia is right, which is why we need to take this transfer station silently, then send a distress signal to Eta."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Can this really work? It seems too difficult."

Mia asked with her brows furrowed.

"I'm seventy percent sure."

"Alright, fortune favors the bold. Let's hit them!"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, Mia's eyes lit up.

This transfer point stores a large amount of supplies. If we can raid it, we'll strike it rich!

"Alright! Let's begin according to my battle plan. Timi, bypass the giant planet and head to the Norton Transfer Station."

Su Ming gave orders to Timi.

"Yes!"

Timi immediately executed the command.

....

Seven hours later, at the Norton Transfer Station.

Three white shell-shaped fortresses floated, forming a small defensive line.

Behind the fortresses, a small fortress with a diameter of three hundred kilometers hovered, resembling a turtle shell, and topped with a massive signal relay tower.

Teams of patrol mecha flew by continually.

At this time, from afar in the starry sky, the Level 5 Battleship·Sunlight was constantly monitoring this transfer station.

In the central control room.

Timi reported to everyone,

"After optical device inspections, the enemy's defensive forces are indeed weak. Mainly composed of the three Shell Tooth Fortresses, with not many patrol mechs, just over a thousand. No sign of large ships for now; the only troubling part is that Norton small fortress, taking it by force with our forces could be costly."

"That's simple; just get me over there, and I could take that fortress down in no time."

Celeste said confidently.

"Really? That's great, let's seize this transfer station in one fell swoop."

Mia stood up from the command chair.

"Hmm, I'll take Celeste over first to infiltrate their system, and you guys strike afterwards."

Su Ming briefly explained the strategy.

"Alright, let's go!"

Mia agreed and said.

Su Ming and the others then moved towards the mobile platform.

...

Moments later.

The Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord flew out from the exit of the Sunlight, then activated Stealth Kill Mode, silently approaching the Norton Transfer Station.

Inside the cockpit.

Su Ming, while operating the mecha, communicated with Celeste secured in the mecha's hand.

"Celeste, is there no problem infiltrating this small fortress?"

"Are you underestimating me? I was the one who infiltrated the Hamms Planet Fortress back then. How could this small fortress be stronger than the Hamms Planet Fortress?"

Celeste said confidently.

"Great!"

Su Ming maneuvered the Fake V Mecha·Shadow Lord to continually bypass defensive forces and patrolling mecha, inching closer to the Norton small fortress.

He was very cautious, as normally the Shadow Lord should not be detected.

But better safe than sorry.

Fortunately, he finally approached without any issues, and Su Ming immediately asked Celeste,

"Celeste, where should I attach?"

"Here."

Celeste immediately scanned the entire small fortress and shared the scanned map with Su Ming, marking a red dot at the bottom of the fortress.

Su Ming immediately controlled the Shadow Lord to the bottom of the fortress and carefully reached out to attach Celeste.

Celeste immediately extended several thin metal lines, inserting them into the gaps of the bottom armor layer, reaching inside and finding a sealed port, prying open the surface cover to connect.

"Done!"

Celeste flashed a victory sign on Su Ming's virtual operation screen.

Seeing this, Su Ming immediately sent the go signal to Mia and the others.

...

Inside the Norton Space Station·Central Control Room.

A middle-aged man wearing a vice admiral's uniform, with a fat head and large ears, a scar on his face, and a napkin tied around his neck, sat on the command chair.
