Chapter 256 He is indeed the boss among bosses!
"We need to pay special attention to their assault troops. Although their combat effectiveness is average, they are highly mobile and can easily cause disruption!"

Stekar nodded slightly, a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

"Strong mobility," he repeated softly, and then suddenly said, "We also have to consider this issue. If we can weaken their mobility while exploring, perhaps we will gain the upper hand!"

"Do you need to adjust your tactical deployment?" Tomoko asked, her tone as calm as ever.

"Not necessary for now!" Stekar waved his hand: "Wait until the information is more detailed before making a decision!"

As Sterkar continued to arrange tasks, comments from the live broadcast room began to appear again:

[Wow, this time Lord Sterkar is personally taking action. He is indeed a big boss among big bosses. Just watching him command makes my blood boil! ]

[I think there is something wrong with Holden. Why are there not enough resources at critical moments? Is this intentional?]

[Stop the conspiracy theories. There must be something wrong with the resource allocation of Sterkar's men, otherwise there wouldn't be so many problems! ]

[I feel like this mission is going to be very difficult. The Terra Empire's fleet is no pushover! ]

[Don't mention it, the copy designed by the designer of Azure Star No. 009 this time is really amazing. The tension is full, and it feels like every step is hanging on the edge of a knife! ]

[I just want to see how Lord Stekar will deal with the Terra Empire in the end. It feels like it will be a tough battle! ]

Stekar looked at the barrage and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He knew very well that this was not only his personal battle, but also the victory that the audience had been looking forward to.

"Tomoko, inform Leo and all relevant commanders that we will set off tomorrow!" Sterkar suddenly said, with a hint of determination in his voice: "This time, we must find out the intentions of the Terra Empire!"

"Yes, Master Pioneer!" Tomoko's voice remained calm, and then the palace hall fell silent again. Only the star map was slowly rotating, as if foreshadowing the upcoming unknown battle.

The next morning, a neat army had already lined up in the square outside the palace. Leo, wearing heavy armor, stood at the front of the team.

Stekar stood on a high place, looking down at the team that was about to set out, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Leo, are you ready?" Stekar walked to his side, his tone calm but with a hint of unquestionable power.

Leo grinned, patted the armor on his chest, and said confidently: "Of course, Lord Pioneer, we are fully prepared and are just waiting for your order!"

"Very good!" Sterkar nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Elena and said, "We must also speed up the research. After Leo and the others leave, I hope to see a breakthrough as soon as possible!"

Elena nodded: "Yes, Master Pioneer, all the staff of the institute are working overtime and will definitely finish it as soon as possible!"

Stekar nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the army in front again: "Let's go, Leo, remember, the importance of this mission cannot be ignored, any mistake may lead to disaster!"

Leo nodded without hesitation, then strode towards the team and shouted in a loud voice: "Warriors, set off! For the pioneer, for our planet!"

The entire army then marched forward in unison, and the soldiers' footsteps echoed in the square like thunder.

Sterkar stood on a high place and watched them leave, his eyes filled with deep thought.

He knew that this was not just a simple exploratory mission, but could be a prelude to a future battle with the Terra Empire.

And he, as a pioneer of the Raider Planet, must ensure that he stands to the end in this copy and wins the final victory.

Stekar's eyes slowly swept across the square, then he turned and walked back to the palace hall.

The dark cloud of war has already shrouded the starry sky, but he will never retreat easily.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's comments emerged again:
[We are finally going to set off this time, looking forward to it! 】

[Leo's momentum is really not to be underestimated. With such a general, Lord Stekar will definitely be safe! ]

[But I am still a little worried. After all, the Terra Empire has a very deep foundation.]

[Lord Stekar, just stay calm, don't be impatient, take your time, and suppress Terra step by step! ]

[The copies of the designer of Azure Star No. 009 are so thrilling every time, which really makes people admire him! 】

[I feel like this exploration mission is just a big trigger, there will definitely be bigger dramas waiting for us to watch later! ]

Stekar returned to his chair in the palace and quietly looked at the star map on the holographic screen, knowing clearly that his journey had just begun.

The entire hall was so quiet that only faint vibrations could be heard in the air, as if everything was waiting for his instructions.

Elena stood not far away, looking at Stekar.

She coughed lightly, looking a little unnatural: "Master Pioneer, since Leo has already set off, do you need further instructions for the next arrangements?"

When Sterkar heard this, he finally turned his gaze away from the star map and turned to Elena.

He nodded gently and said slowly: “Well, yes, Elena, since Leo has gone, we can’t be idle.

Are you sure that your research can achieve a breakthrough ahead of time? I don’t want to wait until the critical moment and fail the mission because the research is not in place! "

When Elena heard this, she showed a look of embarrassment on her face, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said cautiously: “Well, Mr. Pioneer, this research is indeed not easy, as you know, our current technology is approaching a bottleneck.

Many times, breakthroughs are not simply a matter of resources, but also involve many unknown factors.

However, we are also trying new methods to achieve a good result as soon as possible."

"A new method?" Stekar suddenly interrupted her, frowning slightly, and said in a low voice: "Is the new method you mentioned risky? I don't want you to take risks at this time!"

Elena was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained: “No, no, Master Pioneer, please don’t misunderstand.

We didn't do anything particularly dangerous, just some data optimization and adjustments.

It will never affect the safety of the overall research, you can rest assured! ”

Sterkar stared at her for a while, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I hope you can give me good news as soon as possible!"

Elena breathed a sigh of relief and replied softly, "Yes, Master Pioneer, I will do my best!"

Just then, Holden came in hurriedly again, with some sweat on his face, obviously he had been running all the way.

He strode up to Stokal and said anxiously, "Master Pioneer, I just received new intelligence that the Terra Empire seems to be preparing for a major operation!" Stokal was slightly stunned, then asked in a leisurely tone, "What operation? What are the specific contents?"

Holden exhaled, adjusted his breathing, and then continued: “According to our spy feedback, the Terra Empire has recently mobilized a large number of troops and started to deploy defenses in certain strategic locations.

Although their specific intentions are still unclear, there are signs that they may be preparing for some kind of large-scale military action! "

When Sterkar heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his fingers began to tap the table again: "Large-scale military action? Who are they going to attack?"

"It's not certain yet, Master Pioneer!" Holden shook his head. "The intelligence is not complete yet. We can only speculate that their goal is likely to overlap with our current mission!"

Sterkar lowered his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his tone calm but full of oppression: "That is to say, the Terra Empire may have known the star field we are going to, right?"

Holden nodded with a serious expression: “Yes, Master Pioneer, although we don’t have conclusive evidence yet, this possibility is very high!”

Sterkar narrowed his eyes, then stood up, walked to the holographic star map, and stared at the unknown star field.

After a few seconds, he slowly said, “Leo’s mission may be more difficult than we expected.

We must prepare for the worst in advance!"

"The worst plan?" Elena couldn't help asking, with a hint of uneasiness on her face: "Master Pioneer, do you mean that we need to prepare a retreat plan?"

Sterkar shook his head, his voice cold and firm: "Retreat? No, Elena, we will not retreat.

No matter what the Terra Empire is planning, we must get ahead of them and seize the initiative in this star field!"

Elena was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “I understand, Master Pioneer.

We will definitely fully support Leo's actions!"

Holden also said immediately: "Master Pioneer, I will mobilize more resources to ensure that Leo's troops will not have any worries on the front line!"

"Very good!" Sterkar nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Tomoko: "Tomoko, continue to help me monitor the movements of the Terra Empire. I need to keep track of their actions at all times!"

"Yes, Master Pioneer!" Tomoko's voice remained calm and steady.

As a series of arrangements were finalized, Sterkar sat back on the throne again, a thoughtful look on his face.

He knew that the difficulty of this mission was far beyond his expectations, but he was also clear that only by controlling the overall situation could he achieve victory in this chaotic star field.

The comments in the live broadcast room began to swirl wildly again:
[Lord Stekar is so decisive. This is the true leadership style! ]

[What big move is the Terra Empire going to make next? Why do I feel like Terra always takes the first step? This is too powerful! ]

[No matter how Terra moves, Lord Stekar just needs to stay calm. He will definitely have a backup plan! ]

[I was stunned when Elena said to retreat just now. Fortunately, Lord Stekar remained calm! ]

[Designer of Azure Star No. 009 is indeed the genius who likes to play with the audience's psychology, and he can always make the plot suspenseful! ]

[I don’t know what will happen next. What is the purpose of the Terra Empire’s action this time? It’s really curious! ]

Sterkar sat on the throne, tapping his fingers on the armrests, his eyes still fixed on the holographic star map.

The unknown star region in the star map appears particularly mysterious, as if it hides countless unknown secrets and dangers.

He did not speak immediately, but quietly thought about his next move.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone was waiting for his instructions.

Seeing that Stekar remained silent for a long time, Elena cleared her throat uneasily and said carefully: "Master Pioneer, do you think we should send more support troops? After all, Leo and his men are now deep in enemy territory, and the Terra Empire is planning some large-scale action. What if Leo..."

Sterkar interrupted her, his voice low and firm: “No, Elena, you can’t act rashly.

What we need most now is intelligence, not more troops.

If we rush to send reinforcements, we might alert the enemy!"

Elena was slightly stunned, then nodded, looking a little helpless: “Yes, I understand, Master Pioneer.

But we will also keep an eye on Leo's situation to make sure he doesn't fall into too much danger!"

Holden was also standing aside at this time, and said solemnly: “Master Pioneer, since we are not planning to send reinforcements for the time being, I suggest that we solve the resource problem as soon as possible.

The actions of the Terra Empire are likely to affect our future resource supply lines.

If we cannot ensure adequate supply of resources, all subsequent actions will be restricted!"

Sterkar nodded, his eyes still not leaving the star map: “Well, you are right, Holden.

The resource problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise subsequent actions will become difficult!"

Holden seemed a little anxious and continued, “Master Pioneer, I have been actively allocating resources, but our supply lines are already a bit tight, especially the military supplies and energy on the front line.

If we don’t find new resource points, I’m afraid it will affect Leo’s frontline combat effectiveness!”

Sterkar frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the armrest: “We have been dealing with the issue of resources, but the recent movements of the Terra Empire are indeed disturbing.

Their actions are likely related to our competition for resource points.

If we can find and control these resource points in advance, we may be able to turn the situation around!"

Hearing this, Elena suddenly interrupted and said, "Master Pioneer, can the exploration team you mentioned earlier be used? Their technological equipment is very advanced and can quickly detect the distribution of resources. Perhaps it can help us find more resources!"

Sterkar pondered for a moment and nodded: “You are right, Elena.

We can send out an exploration team to investigate the distribution of resources in that star region in advance and seize the initiative as soon as possible!"

Elena showed a relieved smile and said softly: "Then I will arrange the actions of the exploration team and ensure that they can complete the mission successfully!"
