Chapter 254 is great, everyone did a great job!
After Stekar left the tactical command room, the cold lights in the corridor illuminated the path under his feet. The surrounding walls were as smooth as mirrors, with one or two quick flashes of light and shadow occasionally appearing, making it seem particularly quiet and solemn.

The door slowly opened and Stekar walked into his private command room.

The layout here is more compact, with various control consoles and display screens arranged on the surrounding walls. In the center is a semicircular command table with various data and instructions displayed on the desktop.

After Sterkar sat down, he lightly ran his fingers across the table and activated the command system.

"Leo, Elena, Holden, how are your preparations going?" Stekar contacted his core team through the communication channel.

"Report to my lord, the Shadow Commando has entered standby status, and all equipment has been adjusted. They are ready to set off at any time!" Leo's voice came from the communicator, with his usual confidence and decisiveness.

"The scientific research department has prepared all the necessary technical support, including jamming devices, camouflage systems, and signal amplifiers!" Elena reported immediately: "However, I still suggest that we conduct another simulation before the action to ensure that there are no omissions!"

"The resources have also been allocated!" Holden's voice sounded a little tired, but he still maintained a high degree of concentration: "I have arranged backup resources. Once the operation begins, our logistical support will remain continuous and uninterrupted to ensure that there will be no shortage of supplies!"

"Very good, everyone has done a great job!" Sterkar nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's proceed according to the plan, Leo, the Shadow Commando will set off immediately, and the target is the seventh defense zone.

Elena, you continue to monitor technical support and be prepared to respond to possible emergencies at any time.

Holden, the logistics support must be correct, there can be no mistakes!"

"Understood, sir!" The three voices sounded almost at the same time, showing their high degree of coordination and tacit understanding.

As the order was issued, the Shadow Commandos quickly assembled on a stealth reconnaissance ship. The surface of this reconnaissance ship was coated with the latest developed stealth material, which could maintain extremely high concealment from the radar and scanning systems of the Terra civilization.

On the operating console inside the ship, groups of complex buttons and instruments flashed cold light. Members of the Shadow Commando each sat at their post, conducting the final check before departure in a tense and orderly manner.

"Leo, are you ready?" Sterkar contacted the commander of the reconnaissance ship directly through the communication channel. He was a taciturn but extremely proficient tactically veteran.

"We can set off at any time, sir!" Leo's voice came through the communicator, his tone full of confidence in the mission.

"Okay, let's go, good luck to you!" Stekar said briefly, and then closed the communication.

The engine of the reconnaissance ship started silently, and the huge hull slowly left the underground hangar of the palace and disappeared into the night sky of the planet.

The cloaking device on the surface of the ship began to work, and the entire reconnaissance ship gradually merged into the surrounding cosmic background, as if it had never existed.

"Elena, what's the signal from the Shadow Commando?" Stekar returned to the command table, his eyes fixed on the fleet's position displayed on the screen.

"The signal is normal, sir. Their camouflage system is working well. The Terra civilization's detectors have not detected their existence yet!" Elena quickly checked the data, with a hint of relief in her voice: "However, we must remain highly vigilant. The Terra civilization's detection system is very sensitive. We may be exposed if we are not careful!"

"I understand, we must stay vigilant at all times!" Sterkar's eyes were still fixed on the screen. The light spots representing the Shadow Commandos and the Terra civilization probes were moving slowly on the star map, and it seemed that they might collide at any time.

At this time, the Shadow Commandos had entered the border area of ​​the Terra civilization. They carefully adjusted the speed and direction of the reconnaissance ship to avoid entering the scanning range of the enemy's detectors.

Captain Leo stared at the data stream on the console, his hands tightly gripping the joystick, and he was in a state of high tension.

"Everyone, stay hidden and report any abnormal situation immediately!" Leo ordered in a low voice, his eyes scanning every team member to make sure they were all concentrating on their mission.

"Understood, Captain!" The team members responded in unison, their voices deep and powerful.

The reconnaissance ships advanced slowly outside the seventh defense zone, and the cloaking devices on the surface of the ships completely concealed their presence in the darkness of the universe.

Leo tapped his fingers quickly on the console, calling up a detailed map of the seventh defense zone of the Terra civilization. The red markings showed the locations of the defense facilities they had previously known.

"We are about to enter the target area. Everyone, pay attention and prepare to activate the jamming device!" Leo commanded calmly, his eyes fixed on the instruments on the console.

At this time, Elena was also nervously monitoring the data flow in the command room. Her fingers quickly moved across the virtual screen, adjusting the camouflage parameters and signal strength of the Shadow Commandos.

"The jamming device is ready, captain, and can be activated at any time!" a team member reported on the communication channel.

"Okay, wait for my order!" Leo nodded and continued to observe the activity trajectory of the enemy's detector.

At this moment, Leo suddenly noticed that a probe of the Terra civilization was slowly approaching them. Although the speed was extremely slow, if they did not respond in time, they would most likely be discovered.

"Damn it, why is this guy so slow!" Leo cursed in a low voice, and then decisively ordered: "Activate the jamming device and change course immediately!"

The team members operated quickly, and several special devices on the reconnaissance ship began to emit weak electromagnetic waves, interfering with the working state of the detector. At the same time, the ship slowly changed its course to avoid the direct path of the detector.

"What's the situation?" Stekar's voice sounded in the communication channel, sounding exceptionally steady.

"The jamming device has been activated and the detector has not detected us yet!" Leo replied briefly, his eyes still fixed on the console.

"Very good, keep moving forward, but stay vigilant and don't take it lightly!" Stekar's voice came through the communicator with a hint of unquestionable authority.

The reconnaissance ships moved slowly and cautiously on the outskirts of the seventh defense zone, avoiding the Terra civilization's detectors several times. Their actions became more and more cautious, and every adjustment of course was precisely calculated and simulated to ensure that it would not trigger the enemy's alarm.

"Captain, we are approaching the target area!" a team member reported in a low voice.

Leo nodded, took a deep breath, and then slowly ordered: "Everyone, get ready, we are about to enter the target area, be sure to stay hidden, and report any situation immediately!"

The reconnaissance ship slowed down again and almost crawled into the core area of ​​the seventh defense zone.

In this area, the coverage of the energy barrier was slightly insufficient, leaving an extremely narrow path, and the Shadow Commando's reconnaissance ship was moving slowly along this path.

"Elena, how is the fluctuation of the energy barrier?" Stekar's voice sounded again, appearing exceptionally calm.

"The fluctuation is within the normal range. They haven't discovered us yet!" Elena quickly glanced at the data with a hint of relief in her voice.

"Very good, keep monitoring!" Sterkar responded briefly, his eyes still fixed on the screen.

Just as the reconnaissance ship was about to cross the energy barrier, Leo suddenly noticed that the detector in front began to move faster, apparently sensing something unusual.

"Oh no, the detector has accelerated, we may have been discovered!" Leo immediately ordered: "Everyone prepare to retreat, activate the camouflage system!" The camouflage system of the reconnaissance ship was fully activated again, and the stealth device on the surface of the ship strengthened the energy output.
The ship blends almost completely into the cosmic background.

But the speed of the detector was constantly increasing, getting closer and closer to them.

"Elena, interfere with the detector's signal immediately!" Stekar's voice sounded quickly and decisively.

Elena quickly adjusted the frequency of the jammer, and a strong electromagnetic wave was emitted from the reconnaissance ship, directly hitting the core system of the detector.

The speed of the probe suddenly slowed down and then disappeared from the star map.

"The detector failed, the camouflage system is normal, the mission continues!" Leo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered: "Speed ​​up and pass the energy barrier!"

The reconnaissance ship passed through the weak area of ​​the energy barrier at an extremely fast speed and successfully entered the core area of ​​the seventh defense zone.

There was a glimmer of victory in Leo's eyes. He knew that this step was extremely difficult, but the mission was far from over.

"Everyone, stay hidden. We have now entered the enemy's hinterland. Any negligence may lead to the annihilation of our entire army!" Leo commanded calmly, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.

At this time, Sterkar was also nervously watching the actions of the reconnaissance ship, and the comments in the live broadcast room were once again surging wildly:
[The Shadow Commando is so awesome! 】

[You can handle such a dangerous situation. The pioneer is really good! 】

[The copy designed by the designer No. 009 of Azure Star is really very difficult! 】

[What is the probability of success of this mission? I am so worried! ]

[But I believe in the Pioneer, he will definitely be able to do it! ]

[Come on, Shadow Commando! We are waiting for you to bring back good news! ]

Stekar ignored the noise of the barrage, his attention was entirely on the mission. He knew that this was just the beginning, the real challenge was still to come.

He had to make sure every step was safe and reliable, as any negligence could cause them to fail.

"Leo, keep moving forward, be careful, we can't make any mistakes!" Stekar's voice came through the communicator, calm and firm.

"Understood, sir!" Leo responded in a low voice, and then continued to command the reconnaissance ship to advance deeper into the target area.

The reconnaissance ship moved slowly within the seventh defense zone, bypassing towering defense towers and dense energy nodes, and every step was like walking on thin ice.

They knew that if they moved forward a little further, they would be able to enter the core area of ​​Terra civilization and obtain the most valuable intelligence.

But they also know that the deeper they go, the greater the risk.

"Everyone, stay on high alert, we are about to enter the core area!" Leo reminded his team members in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the view ahead.

At this time, Elena was quickly analyzing the data sent back from the reconnaissance ship in the command room. Her fingers slid quickly on the virtual screen, adjusting the technical parameters of the Shadow Commando to ensure that they could remain hidden in the most dangerous areas.

"The fluctuation is normal, and the camouflage system is working well!" Elena reported softly, with a hint of nervousness in her tone.

Stekar nodded, silently praying that everything would go well.

He knew that the success or failure of this reconnaissance mission would directly affect every one of their future actions.

"Keep moving forward and be careful!" He gave orders calmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The reconnaissance ship slowly advanced towards the target area. They had entered the core area of ​​the Terra civilization. Everything here seemed exceptionally quiet, as if countless dangers were hidden.

"Captain, abnormal energy fluctuations were detected ahead!" a team member reported in a low voice with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Leo immediately called up the energy fluctuation graph and carefully analyzed the data: "Everyone be careful, we may be close to the enemy's main control center!"

"Everyone, prepare to retreat. If you spot the enemy, return immediately!" Stekar's voice sounded exceptionally steady over the communicator.

The reconnaissance ship advanced slowly within the core area, and every second was like walking on thin ice.

Leo's fingers were tightly gripping the control stick, his eyes fixed on the view ahead, he knew that any negligence could lead to their annihilation.

"Keep moving forward and stay hidden!" Leo ordered in a low voice with a hint of determination in his tone.

The reconnaissance ship continued to advance towards the target until they discovered a huge energy tower in front of them. The tower was flashing with strange light and was obviously an important facility of the Terra civilization.

"Captain, we found the target!" A team member reported excitedly in a low voice, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, start scanning and record all data!" Leo gave the order quickly and began a detailed scan of the energy tower.

Elena was in the command room, quickly analyzing the data sent back from the reconnaissance ship, her finger sliding quickly on the virtual screen: "My lord, they have discovered the core energy facility of the Terra civilization. This is very important information!"

"Very good, keep scanning and get as much data as possible!" There was a hint of relief in Stekar's voice.

The reconnaissance ship moved slowly near the energy tower, with all scanning equipment working at full capacity to record every detail of the data.

"Scan completed, prepare to return!" Leo whispered the order, with a glimmer of victory in his eyes.

"Everyone, prepare to retreat, we succeeded!" Leo's voice came through the communicator, with an imperceptible excitement.

The reconnaissance ship quickly turned around and prepared to return. They knew that the mission had been successful and all they had to do now was to evacuate safely and return to the base with this valuable intelligence.
