Chapter 316 Taking the Stage Personally
Chapter 316 Taking the Stage Personally
"How is the situation at the front?"
Mind Earth: Divine Realm.
Fang Lin strode into the command center, her black trench coat swaying as her leather boots hit the floor.
Behind him followed a group of high-ranking members of Mind Earth.
"My Lord, the situation is not optimistic. One of our infiltration units attempted to break into the enemy carrier group's detection range, but was detected by the enemy's destroyers in advance. The gunboats and particle strikes arrived almost simultaneously. This is the battle damage report for your review."
The deputy handed a document to Fang Lin, who glanced at it briefly before tossing it back to the other person.
"If all else fails, send in heavy firepower. Are they the only ones with aircraft carriers in this interstellar war?"
"The Lord Avent has tied us down on the Chalk Lane front for a full seven years!"
"Seven years is enough to have a child. They should be in elementary school by now. I really don't know what you guys have been doing. You still haven't gotten it done."
The group fell silent. Although the Chahar front was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack due to its geographical advantages, the fact that there had been no progress after seven years was really hard to believe.
"More than a decade ago, the preparations for the Chapel Front began. The previous agent of the Divine Realm said that he would take control of the Chapel Front within three months. And what happened? Now, the mechanical Earth's supply planet is almost being built into your homes!"
Fang Lin became increasingly angry as she spoke, so she simply pulled up a chair, crossed her legs, and sat down.
"I'm giving you one last chance. If there's still no significant progress this year, then you'd better pack your things and leave!"
Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking officials present exchanged bewildered glances.
Fang Lin's words had a deeper meaning.
Judging by the time, it's almost time to select the next Divine Realm representative. Fang Lin's achievements in the Divine Realm over the past few years have not been outstanding, so it's almost impossible for her to be re-elected.
Once she leaves her position as acting leader, it's a big question whether her successor will continue to invest so much money in the Chapel Front, let alone resolve the hidden dangers on the Chapel Front.
Therefore, we really only have one year left to completely resolve this potential problem.
Seemingly realizing that her words had been somewhat harsh, Fang Lin suddenly fell silent.
Seeing this, the adjutant next to her tried to offer her a glass of water, but Fang Lin waved her hand and refused.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I only hope that you will all be diligent..."
Before Fang Lin could finish speaking, suddenly, someone rushed into the conference room without even knocking.
"My Lord, something has happened on the Chalk Circle front!"
These words were like a bombshell, causing everyone in the conference room to feel a jolt of unease.
It's true that the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.
The Box Corridor front is like a blunt knife pressed against the throat of the Mind Earth; it's not fatal, but its presence is impossible to ignore.
After much thought, the news that a junior officer could force his way into and disrupt a high-level meeting of the Divine Realm is probably not a good sign.
Fang Lin glanced at him, her face expressionless, but she had already prepared herself for the worst.
"explain."
"The final cannon in Sector B of the Chapel Front was struck by an asteroid an hour ago, causing extremely serious damage!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions, and even the usually composed Fang Lin couldn't help but frown slightly.
The Final Cannon was the main defensive measure used by Gene Earth and Mind Earth to hold back the Lord Avent carrier group. There were only two of them on the entire Corridor battle line.
The accidental destruction of a giant cannon is a major incident. If the mechanical Earth were to launch a massive carrier strike group at this time, it would be difficult to hold out unless forces from the main battlefield were redeployed.
But without a doubt, Mechanical Earth would never give either side time to redeploy their forces. The moment they discover the giant cannon has been destroyed, they will probably be eager to launch their aircraft carriers and rush over.
If that's the case, then the problem becomes quite tricky.
All the high-ranking officials of the Divine Realm present panicked upon realizing this, but Fang Lin remained calm and composed. After a moment's thought, she turned her gaze to the chief engineer of the engineering department beside her.
"How long is the estimated repair time for this cannon?"
When the chief engineer heard Fang Lin ask this question, he was also a little unsure.
"Well... I need to take some people to the scene to check the situation before I can be sure, but even at the best, it will probably take more than 3 hours."
Fang Lin waved her hand.
"Then let's not waste any more time, hurry up and take your men to the scene."
"Yes."
Soon, under Fang Lin's instructions, all the high-ranking officials of the Divine Realm in the conference room sprang into action.
After assigning tasks to everyone, Fang Lin put on her coat and got up.
Seeing this, the adjutant quickly followed.
Soon, the two passed through the operations conference room and arrived at the front-line operations department. Fang Lin took off her coat and threw it aside, then began to put on the neural connection equipment needed to operate the ship.
“Actress… what are we doing?”
"Buy some time for the Final Cannon repairs."
As Fang Lin spoke, she put on her equipment.
As an agent of the divine realm, she naturally knows how to operate ships; in fact, she was a third-term student of the Mind Earth's spaceship program back then.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ship Fang Lin piloted alone was more combat-effective than a ship piloted by three other teams working together.
Of course, there's also the reason that she's the heir of the Fang family. The Sanben family has been able to rule the Mind Earth for so many years, so it's hard to believe that they don't have some special abilities in certain areas.
As for the Fang family, their talent likely lies in controlling instruments and equipment.
"Order the 3rd and 6th Fleets to enter the battlefield from the flanks, and the 124th Fleet to advance from the front. They shouldn't have realized what's happening yet. Speed is crucial; it's our only advantage right now!"
After setting the coordinates, Fang Lin switched the ship to autopilot mode.
There's no other way. Once the Box Corridor front is lost, the problem will become quite troublesome. From then on, if Mechanical Earth wants to exert pressure and increase its troops, it will no longer need to go through Planet Revelation 3. Instead, it can directly build its starport on the face of Mind Earth and Gene Earth, and incidentally make the cooperation between these two planets uncomfortable.
Just as Fang Lin was about to board the ship, she suddenly turned around and looked at the adjutant beside her.
"By the way, if I remember correctly, don't we also have a task force on Revelation III?"
