Charlotte's holographic image appeared before Zhao Chen's eyes.
Seeing Charlotte's anxious look, Zhao Chen roughly guessed what was going on.
He asked, "Has something happened to the Machine Race?"
Charlotte raised her hand and first opened a star map.
Zhao Chen looked at the star map in front of him, which included the territory of the Demon Race and the territory of the Machine Race.
Within the territory of the Machine Race, a star system adjacent to the territory of the Demon Race appears yellow. Within this yellow star system, there is a red stargate marker.
Between this red stargate and the demon territory, there is a pale red dotted line, which is used to mark the fleet's marching route.
This indicates that the Demon Race is continuously dispatching Demon Race interstellar warships to this location.
At the same time, a striking red color appeared around the core area of the Machine Race's territory.
That was also a stargate.
"The Demon race launched simultaneous attacks on the stargates of the Machine race in two locations, both of which were large stargates."
One stargate is located right next to the Demon race's territory, while the other stargate is very close to the core of the Machine race, the 'Royal Court'.
If you use warp drive, you can arrive in five hours!
According to our latest information, there are demon spies in both stargates. When the demon fleet attacked the stargates and the highest-ranking official of the stargates attempted to destroy them, they seized control of the stargates.
Both stargates have now fallen into the hands of the Demon race.
The demon race is continuously sending its demon legion fleet towards the core area of the machine race!
According to the reports from our interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships, at least one million Demon Race interstellar warships have been detected traveling along this route to the Machine Race's 'Royal Court'! This news reported by Charlotte made Zhao Chen's heart sink.
Zhao Chen deduced from his system missions that the Demon Race would launch an attack on the Machine Race.
However, Zhao Chen never expected that the demon race's attack would be so purposeful and aggressive.
Or rather, the fact that it was able to succeed so smoothly.
It was actually able to directly threaten the core area of the machine race.
Why did it go so smoothly?
"Where are the mechanical legion fleets of the Machine Race stationed at these stargate hubs?" Zhao Chen asked, frowning.
Charlotte said seriously, "We have obtained some intelligence about the battlefield."
Preliminary assessment suggests that, in addition to the possibility of an undercover agent within the Star Gate, the cause is likely...
The reason why the Demon race was able to so easily seize the Stargate and destroy the Mech race fleet stationed there is that...
One reason is that they used a large number of T5 Lurker-class light interstellar warships. Charlotte read out a somewhat unfamiliar name.
"The Lurker?" Zhao Chen recalled: "Is it the Demon T5 interstellar warship that the Red Demon Legion used before, which could make the entire fleet invisible?"
This starship made its debut when the Red Demon Legion launched its expedition to Warhammer. Although it has no combat capabilities of its own, its cloaking ability is astonishing.
However, ever since then, the Dragon Legion has deployed a large number of interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships when fighting against the Demon Legion fleet.
The Dragon Legion, well-versed in this, naturally knew how to curb such methods.
Therefore, after that, this interstellar warship was rarely seen in direct combat between the Demon Race and the Wyvern.
I never expected to hear it again during a battle against the machine race.
"Don't the machine race have any anti-stealth measures?"
Did they really let those demon army fleets infiltrate right under their noses so easily?
"One of them even managed to reach the star gate surrounding their royal court!" Zhao Chen said angrily, as if he were scolding his own good-for-nothing child.
Charlotte explained, "I suspect it's because of the Mechanicus... those Stargate traitors all acted under the Mechanicus's name."
Zhao Chen fell silent.
This is indeed highly probable; the followers of the Mechanicus are themselves part of the Mechanicus race, even though the star system where the Mechanicus's headquarters is located has now been destroyed by the Wyvern Legion.
But Zhao Chen has always suspected that the Cult of the Machine God still exists.
Now it seems that this has indeed verified Zhao Chen's words.
There are also many followers of the Cult of Machines lurking among the Machine Race.
The lurking followers of the Cult of Machines played a significant role in this surprise attack by the Demon Race on the Machine Race.
"And there's another reason: a starship that appears to be near T6 level has appeared in the Demon Race's fleet!" Charlotte's words startled Zhao Chen once again.
"A near-T6? Is that for sure?" Zhao Chen asked seriously.
"We have intercepted several pieces of battlefield data, which basically confirms the situation."
And it received a code name from within the demon race.
Destroyer!
It's a heavy interstellar battleship!
Its main weapon module is very powerful; a single shot from the bow can directly destroy a fully-equipped Mech Race T5 Imperial Steelfist-class heavy interstellar battleship!
Its only weaknesses are its defense and speed.
"That's probably why it's a near-T6, rather than a true T6," Charlotte said.
A near-T6 Destroyer-class heavy interstellar battleship.
Zhao Chen muttered the name to himself.
Charlotte added, "Furthermore, we suspect that this interstellar warship also uses that type of evil technology."
Our investigation revealed that the Demon Race has been transporting a large number of people during this period, and several planets within the Demon Race's own territory have even been sealed off, with the official reason being an uncontrollable plague outbreak within those planets.
But we speculate that... all the planet's inhabitants were taken away to be used as energy for the starships.
Without exception, these planets belonged to low-level races with extremely low presence among the demon race.
Zhao Chen squinted and asked, "How many of these starships does the Demon Race have?"
"The information we have so far is that there are two ships."
They are currently serving with the Black Angels Legion and the Wrath Legion, respectively.
These two elite demon legions were tasked with attacking these two stargates.
Based on our predictions, the Demon King's personal guard should also be using this interstellar warship.
"The total number will be no less than five!" Charlotte analyzed.
"The machine race isn't making any moves?" Zhao Chen looked at the star map.
No matter how confident those two mechanical beauties of the mechanical race were, the facts were already laid out before them.
They are not fools; they will no longer remain indifferent.
"The Machine Race mobilized one million Machine Race interstellar warships each, and they headed to the locations of the two stargates respectively."
In addition, 300,000 more Mechanoid interstellar warships were deployed to the Mechanoid Royal Court.
In the future, the number of interstellar warships stationed at the Machine Race Royal Court will reach one million!
The exact number of interstellar warships possessed by the Mech Race has always been a mystery.
However, at present, a total of three million interstellar warships have been mobilized.
I believe there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Keep a close eye on the battle situation on the Machine Race side, and also help me contact the Angel Race!" Although Zhao Chen couldn't dispatch a legion fleet, he could still do some things.
