Chen Ming was highly efficient in the execution of his entire plan, moving at a speed that even surpassed Bai Quan.
So much so that now Chen Ming was back, while Bai Quan was still engaged in battle within the Dusk Star Realm with Dusk.
Bai Quan suddenly requested reinforcents, and Chen Ming was neither asleep nor unconscious.
He couldn’t just ignore it, so he pulled himself together, tossed Little Ten onto the bed, and left the bedroom he had stayed in for two days.
After washing his face, he sat in the study and listened to Bai Quan’s account.
Just when Chen Ming had executed most of his plan and there were signs of discovery by Dusk in the two star systems, he contacted Bai Quan.
At that ti, Bai Quan began his surprise attack.
Chen Ming provided detailed coordinates of the star system with the New Star Level giant shipyard, and even planetary orbit data within the system.
This allowed Bai Quan to accurately pinpoint the specific positions of planets at different tis, targeting the giant shipyard on a planet’s orbit in the system.
He was able to jump his fleet directly to the side of the giant shipyard within the star system.
Up to this point, the surprise attack was proceeding very smoothly.
However, Bai Quan encountered issues when the actual assault began.
The defensive capability of Dusk’s giant shipyard was unexpectedly strong.
Not only did it have the armor protection of a giant shipyard capable of manufacturing main ships.
Dusk had also equipped it with main ship-level shields.
Bai Quan believed these were the shields for the New Star Level main ship being constructed, not yet installed, and temporarily used for the shipyard.
As a result, Bai Quan couldn’t take down the shipyard imdiately, delaying until Dusk’s reinforcents arrived.
As the battle line extended, the fight entered the most fierce stage of engagent.
Fortunately, because this matter was agreed upon in advance with Chen Ming.
Bai Quan and Chen Ming supported each other, alleviating pressure, preventing Bai Quan from facing more subsequent reinforcents from Dusk in a short ti.
Although the losses were enormous during this process, they also dealt a heavy blow to Dusk.
Bai Quan suffered nearly half of the cruiser losses and lost over half the destroyers as a cost.
In exchange for sinking one of Dusk’s main ships.
As long as the retreat succeeds, even with such losses, it would still be a major victory.
Main ships are on a different level compared to any other warships.
A trade of ordinary ships for a main ship is essentially a profitable deal.
Unless several hundred or even a thousand cruisers are traded for one main ship.
In that case, indeed the cost balance is a loss.
But Bai Quan was clearly not at that loss standard now.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming asked, "So since you don’t plan to retreat and are asking for my help, surely you have so other reason, right?"
Bai Quan, while still directing the battlefield, said to Chen Ming, "There are two reasons."
"Although we indeed destroyed a main ship, it wasn’t the New Star Level being constructed."
"Because Dusk’s reinforcents arrived very quickly, we couldn’t continue the attack on the giant shipyard under the fire of reinforcents, so we chose to deal with the reinforcents first."
"Since Dusk initially sent only a Radiation Level reinforcent, this was the result."
"I relied on two Offensive Level ships and forcibly destroyed it, but it also stalled for ti."
"Subsequent reinforcents from Dusk also arrived."
"That’s the current situation."
"But I’m still not willing to give up on the idea of reaching the New Star Level."
"Dusk’s further reinforcents consist only of two main ships, likely because you helped share so of this burden."
In this aspect, Bai Quan was correct; two main ships were tracking Chen Ming.
One was handling the Dusk under Chen Ming’s control in the Border Star System.
The other followed closely behind Chen Ming but was taken down by the boss.
Chen Ming didn’t respond, and Bai Quan didn’t mind; his assumption was definitely correct.
"Another possible reason for Dusk’s few reinforcents might be their apprehension."
"Afraid we’ll pull the sa trick of diversion as last ti, they should have one or two main ships left unused randomly."
"I initially planned to stop here, but Dusk has unexpectedly started urgently activating the not yet completed New Star Level."
"I see an opportunity within this."
Chen Ming couldn’t help but ask, "You’re not thinking of waiting till the New Star Level takes off and then taking it down surrounded by several main ships, are you?"
Bai Quan promptly denied, "I won’t do sothing foolish."
"I only plan to deploy a special operations team to infiltrate the giant shipyard, to carry out a penetration mission and find a way to sabotage the New Star Level."
"If the New Star Level is just sitting there, there’s indeed not much chance, but once it starts moving, opportunities abound."
What Bai Quan ntioned seed quite reasonable, yet Chen Ming still asked, "The idea sounds good, but how did you think of reaching out to ?"
"Because you previously ntioned that part of my target is also governed by Dusk under your control."
"Hmm..."
Chen Ming rotated his sowhat rigid brain to carefully recall and found that there indeed was such a matter.
Yesterday or the day before, he had just ntioned it; it seed he was sowhat tired and muddled.
However, it was no problem at all to help Bai Quan with this task.
Chen Ming’s thoughts were quite straightforward.
After his escape, Dusk would definitely perform a thorough investigation internally, following Chen Ming himself, Gamma A, Brilliant, and Radiant who had interacted with all individual Dusk entities for investigation, tracing back the clues.
