Chapter 258 Go directly into the planet and look for the Emperor's Sword!
Leo's holographic projection had already appeared on the command platform. When he saw Sterkar coming, he immediately saluted and said, "Master Pioneer, my troops are already in place and can cooperate with your actions at any time!"

Stekar glanced at the holographic projection with cold eyes, and said in a low and powerful voice: “Leo, we will attack with all our strength.

Your mission is to continue to contain the Terra Empire's forces on the front lines and ensure that they cannot easily enter the planet of Eslia.

We will enter the planet directly and search for the Emperor's Sword!"

Leo nodded, his tone firm: “Please rest assured, Master Pioneer, we will definitely stop the attack of the Terra Empire.

As long as we are here, they will never succeed easily!"

Sterkar’s eyes were deep and his tone was firm: “Very good.

I will personally lead the team to Eslia and any situation must be reported promptly.

Do not let the Emperor's Sword fall into their hands!"

Leo's projection gradually disappeared, leaving only Stekar and his core team in the command room.

Elena stood aside, holding a data pad in her hand, looking solemn: “Master Pioneer, we have made all preparations, and the fleet can enter the planet Eslia at any time.

However, you must be careful with those ancient defense mechanisms, they may be more dangerous than we realize!"

Sterkar smiled slightly and said calmly: “No matter how dangerous it is, we must face it.

The question now is how do we break through those defense mechanisms quickly!"

Elena nodded, and then said: "We have analyzed the operating principles of some defense systems. It seems that these defense devices rely on some kind of energy core to maintain operation.

If we can find and destroy these energy cores, we may be able to significantly weaken their power!"

After listening to this, Sterkar nodded slightly and said, “Very good, then we will start with these energy cores.

Elena, your team is responsible for locating these cores, once we find them, we will act immediately!"

Elena gave a nervous smile and responded firmly: "Understood, Master Pioneer, we will do our best!"

Holden also came over at this time, his face still a little tired: “Master Pioneer, I have arranged the subsequent resource dispatch to ensure that the front line and your operations will not be affected.

However, there is one thing I must remind you of. The resource reserves of the Terra Empire are very huge. We must find a new source of energy as soon as possible. Otherwise, long-term consumption will be very disadvantageous to us!"

Sterkar took a deep breath, his eyes cold: “I understand, Holden.

The resources will be resolved, but the most important thing now is action!"

Holden nodded and stepped aside.

Sterkar glanced at the commanders around him, his eyes full of determination: "Everyone, the Emperor's Sword is not only the goal of the Terra Empire, it is also the key to our victory.

The operation must be swift and precise, and any mistake could result in a total loss.

Remember, we only have one chance!"

Everyone nodded at the same time, their eyes filled with awe and trust for Stekar.

As the order was given, the battleship's engine began to roar, and the huge hull slowly rose and flew into the vast universe.

The entire fleet was like a giant dragon hovering in the starry sky, rushing towards the planet Eslia.

The planet Eslia gradually appeared in the holographic projection. It was a desolate planet with ruins and debris all over its surface, as if it had experienced countless wars.

Strange energy fluctuations float outside the planet's atmosphere, as if reminding invaders of the danger here.

"Master Pioneer, we are approaching the planet Eslia!" Sophon's voice sounded, still calm and mechanical.

Sterkar stood in front of the command desk, his eyes fixed on the image of the planet: "Land and start exploring!"

Following Sterkar's orders, the battleship descended rapidly and passed through the planet's atmosphere.

The huge ship slowly landed in the ruins, raising countless dust and rubble.

Stekar led the elite assault team, walked out of the cabin himself, and set foot on this barren land.

There is an ancient, strange energy in the air of Eslia, as if the planet itself is warning visitors.

The remains of buildings in the ruins stood all around like silent guards, quietly watching their arrival.

Elena held the scanner in her hand and said nervously: “Master Pioneer, I can feel that energy fluctuation, and its intensity is very high.

We are heading towards the energy core, and we may encounter ancient defense mechanisms ahead!"

Sterkar nodded, his expression grim: "Be careful and be prepared for any emergency!"

The assault team continued to advance, passing through the rubble of the ruins, and the air was filled with tension.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed from the front, and an ancient mechanical device suddenly started up, making a low roar.

"The defense devices are activated!" Elena exclaimed, "They are attacking us!"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Stekar immediately gave the order, and the assault team quickly deployed a defensive formation to meet the ancient mechanical combat devices that emerged from the ruins.

The roar continued, energy beams crisscrossed in the air, and a fierce battle suddenly broke out on this desolate planet.

The live broadcast room's bullet screen exploded again at this time:

[Oh my god, this scene is so exciting, the ancient defense mechanism is activated! ]

[Lord Stekar really came out in person this time. I feel so nervous! ]

[This Emperor's Sword is indeed not easy to take. The defensive device is so strong. The designer of Azure Star No. 009 is indeed very thoughtful! ]

[Does anyone feel that there is a bigger secret behind these defense devices? I always feel that things are not that simple! ]

[Come on, Lord Stokkar, you must get the Emperor's Sword this time! ]

[It really makes people's heart beat faster. This battle is too tense. The designer of Azure Star No. 009 is really a genius! ]

Sterkar glanced at the flashing energy beams in the sky with cold eyes, holding his weapon tightly in his hands, and rushed forward without hesitation.

His assault team followed closely behind him and engaged the ancient defenses in a fierce battle.

The entire battlefield was filled with roars and explosions. Every command from Sterkar was precise and decisive, leading the team to gradually suppress the enemy's defenses.

Elena kept adjusting the scanner, trying to lock the location of the energy core.

"Master Pioneer!" Elena suddenly shouted, "I found the location of the energy core! It's right below the ruins ahead. We need to destroy it as soon as possible!"

Sterkar's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Everyone, follow me and destroy the energy core!"

Under the leadership of Sterkar, the assault team quickly broke through the enemy's defenses and rushed towards the energy core.

As they approached, the ancient energy fluctuations became stronger, as if the entire planet was trembling. Finally, they arrived at the location of the energy core, which was a huge and complex ancient device that emitted a dazzling light.

Without any hesitation, Sterkar directly ordered the assault team to launch an attack. The powerful energy beam hit the core directly. The entire device made a deafening explosion and turned into ruins in an instant.

"The defense mechanism has been paralyzed!" Elena shouted excitedly, "We succeeded!"

Stekar nodded slightly, his eyes cold: “This is just the first step, keep moving forward.

The Emperor's Sword is just ahead!"

They continued to push forward, past the destroyed defenses, and eventually came to a vast underground hall.

In the center of the hall, there stood an ancient stone tablet, on which was embedded a long sword emitting a faint light.

"Sword of the Emperor." Stekar murmured in a low voice, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

The live broadcast room's barrage of comments surged again:

【Finally found it! The Emperor's Sword! 】

[Oh my god, this sword really doesn't look simple. It feels like a mysterious power is calling it! ]

[Lord Sterkar really won this time! If this sword falls into his hands, the Terra Empire will be finished! ]

[The design of Blue Star No. 009 is really amazing, every step is exciting! ]

[What should I do next? Is the Emperor's Sword really that powerful? ]

Sterkar stood in front of the stone tablet, staring at the Emperor's sword quietly.

The light on the sword seemed to tremble slightly, as if responding to his gaze.

A mysterious energy fluctuation permeated the air, as if the entire universe was concentrated on this sword at this moment.

Stekar's hand slowly reached out for the Emperor's Sword, his eyes filled with determination.

He knew that this sword would become his most important weapon in future battles. It not only symbolized strength, but also an unshakable determination.

Just as he was about to touch the hilt, a powerful energy wave suddenly burst out from the sword, as if to knock him back.

However, Stekar remained unmoved, his hand still firmly grasping the hilt of the sword.

In an instant, the entire hall was illuminated by dazzling light, and the power of the Emperor's Sword seemed to awaken instantly, producing some kind of mysterious resonance with Sterkar.

The corners of Sterkar's mouth slightly raised, and he gripped the Emperor's Sword tightly, his voice deep and powerful: "From now on, this sword belongs to me!"

The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again:

[Lord Sterkar is so strong! He really has mastered the Emperor's Sword! ]

[This light is simply stunning! Designer No. 009 of Azure Star is indeed a genius! ]

[Lord Stekar has obtained this sword, and the Terra Empire will be in trouble from now on! ]

[This scene gave me goosebumps, it was so exciting! ]

[He really is a boss. The Emperor's Sword is like a divine weapon in his hands! ]

[How will Lord Sterkar use this sword next? I am so looking forward to it! ]

Stekar slowly put away the Emperor's Sword, his eyes grim, as if he had already seen the future battle.

No matter how the Terran Empire acts, he already holds the key to victory.

"Master Pioneer!" Elena's voice broke the brief silence: "We have completed the cleanup, and all the ancient defense mechanisms have been completely destroyed.

We can return to the battleship safely!"

Sterkar nodded, then said softly, "Very good, let's go!"

He turned and walked towards the battleship, with the assault team following closely behind him.

Elena and other scientists are still recording the energy fluctuations around them. It is obvious that they are still full of curiosity and awe about the power of the Emperor's Sword.

The roar of battleship engines could be heard in the distance, and dust was flying in the air.

At this moment, Leo's holographic projection suddenly appeared on Sterkar's communication panel, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice: "Master Pioneer, the fleet of the Terra Empire is rapidly approaching the planet Eslia, and our fleet has already had a small-scale conflict with them!"

Sterkar's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he clenched the Emperor's Sword in his hand: "Has the Terra Empire already noticed our location?"

Leo’s tone was filled with anxiety: “Yes, Lord Pioneer, their fleet is intensifying its attack, and I’m worried that they will launch a full-scale attack soon.

Although we remain hidden in the nebula, the Terran Empire's reconnaissance technology should not be underestimated!"

Stekar was silent for a moment, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Very good, since they have come to our door, we don't have to hide it anymore.

Get ready for battle, I will personally command this battle!"

When Leo heard this, his expression brightened, and he was obviously very excited about Sterkar's decision: "Yes, Master Pioneer! We will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Sterkar closed the communication panel and turned to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone return to the battleship and prepare to meet the attack of the Terra Empire.

We will not back down, today we will show them the true power of the Emperor's Sword!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their eyes full of admiration and confidence for Stekar.

Stekar took the lead in boarding the battleship, and Elena and other scientists quickly returned to their respective posts. The inner door of the battleship slowly closed, the huge engine started again, and the battleship slowly took off.

"Master Pioneer, we have locked onto the location of the Terra Empire fleet!" Sophon's voice echoed in the command room, as calm and precise as ever: "The enemy fleet is approaching the planet Eslia and is expected to enter our attack range within five minutes!"

Sterkar stood in front of the command desk and said coldly: "Let the fleet enter combat status and aim all firepower at the enemy's main ship.

We must let the Terra Empire know that today they are facing not only us, but also the power of the Emperor's Sword!"

As Sterkar's order was issued, the entire fleet immediately entered combat readiness.

The battleship's armor plates flickered in the starlight, and its guns slowly turned, aiming at the enemy ship in the distance.

The atmosphere in the command room became tense and solemn. All the operators stared at the screen intently, waiting for further instructions from Sterkar.

"The enemy ship is within range!" Tomoko's voice rang out again.

Sterkar's eyes were sharp as torches, and he said coldly: "Fire!"

Following his order, the fleet's main guns roared at the same time, and energy beams cut through the dark universe like lightning, directly hitting the main ship of the enemy fleet.
