Mechanical Royal Court Supreme Command
"Report: The demon race's offensive has suddenly slowed down."
Some parts of the demon army fleet even ceased their attack. The mechanical adjutant reported this to Commander Akin.
The pressure in Ajin's heart finally eased. She looked at the interstellar war sandbox in front of her, where the positions of several skulls were marked.
These skulls represent destroyed near-T6 Destroyer-class heavy interstellar battleships.
In the previous two months, not a single T6 Destroyer-class heavy starship had been destroyed.
In just a few short hours, five ships were lost!
This accounts for one-fifth of the twenty-five known active T6 Destroyer-class heavy interstellar battleships of the Daemon race.
This is undoubtedly a huge victory.
This sudden change on the battlefield was also the reason why the enemy suddenly suspended their attack.
After all, the loss wasn't just of a T4 or T5 starship, but a near-T6 Destroyer-class heavy starship!
Losing five ships in one go is a loss that even they cannot afford.

At that moment, a video window appeared in front of Akin.
Across from them was the construction site for this operation, Ah Yin.
"Ah Yin, that's great."
Thanks to the interstellar warships you brought, we have stabilized the situation.
"And they even destroyed five near-T6 Destroyer-class heavy interstellar battleships in one fell swoop!" A Jin's tone at this moment revealed a hint of joy.
The depression of the past two months was too painful.
Ah Yin, however, did not feel much joy. With a complicated look in her eyes, she said, "Although we destroyed five near-T6 Destroyer-class heavy interstellar battleships..."
We also paid the price of losing twenty-eight T5 Prisoner-class heavy starships and severely damaging thirteen T5 Prisoner-class heavy starships.
Ah Jin seemed not to have grasped the deeper meaning in Ah Yin's words. She simply nodded and said, "Yes, we also suffered some losses."
However, compared to the results we achieved, this loss was undoubtedly worthwhile!
I tried every method imaginable, even when I found the right opportunity to deploy fifty T5 starships as a decapitation strike fleet, but I couldn't destroy even a single near-T6 Destroyer-class heavy starship.
Now, with these T5 Prisoner-class heavy interstellar assault battleships you've brought, we undoubtedly have a means to deter the enemy's T6 Destroyers on the front lines!
"Hmm." Ah Yin didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, the two sides exchanged information about the battlefield situation, and then the communication ended.
Sitting in the captain's chair, Ah Yin felt strangely lost and disoriented. She raised her hand and took the initiative to contact the man.
The original sun-drenched beach has been transformed into a nighttime hot spring resort. Several figures can be seen in the background, but they are obscured by the swirling mist.
"How was it? You've achieved some good results, haven't you?" Zhao Chen asked directly, looking at Ah Yin who had taken the initiative to contact him.
"Um.
"We destroyed five near-T6 Destroyers." Ah Yin's tone, however, contained no trace of joy.
Zhao Chen noticed Ah Yin's unusual behavior and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "You destroyed five quasi-T6 Destroyers. Shouldn't you be happy about that?"
Why do I feel like you're not happy at all?
Ah Yin was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhao Chen with her human-like eyes: "Lord of the Dragon, I have a question for you."
If it were you, would you choose to use the T5 Prisoner-class heavy starship?
Zhao Chen was caught off guard by Ah Yin's question.
But he honestly replied, "I don't know how to use it, and I don't want to use this interstellar warship one day."
"Why?
To achieve victory, isn't this starship quite reliable?
Not only does it possess formidable combat capabilities, but its insane prisoner mode can also inflict massive damage on enemy ships at the last moment.
"According to our computer calculations, this interstellar warship has the highest cost-effectiveness ratio known in the universe!" Ah Yin asked in confusion.
"Cost-effectiveness?" Zhao Chen muttered the word. He chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Perhaps, in the eyes of you mechanical races, everything can be judged by cost-effectiveness, by numbers, by probability, and so on."
But to me, a starship is more than just a starship.
There are still thousands upon thousands of warriors above me, warriors who trust me and are willing to fight for me.
My principle is that I cannot allow them to be placed on a tombstone.
While Zhao Chen was speaking, A Yin kept her eyes fixed on him, so she was certain that the man was telling the truth.
He won't do that.
"So... this is what you call life?" Ah Yin muttered.
"You mechanical life forms, though also called life, now possess considerable intelligence."
However, there is one huge difference between you and us, besides the lack of creativity.
You do not cherish your own lives.
"Perhaps in your eyes, your lives are nothing more than a program," Zhao Chen said sincerely.
“Cherish...your own life?” Ah Yin hesitated.
She recalled how, when she was explaining the various performance characteristics of these T5 Prisoner-class heavy interstellar assault battleships to her subordinates, those mechanical lifeforms recorded all the operating procedures without batting an eye.
This includes the final suicide attack.
Looking back now, everything exudes an eerie atmosphere.
It was as if they themselves were not the ones carrying out the suicide attack.
"However, your master is quite different."
She reminded me of us, like a little kid who never grew up. Zhao Chen recalled the little girl.
To be honest, if I didn't know her identity, it would be hard to believe that the little girl was a mechanical life form.
“Master...” Ah Yin also recalled the time when she spent with her master before. She would point at herself and Ah Jin and say: You are both so lifeless and boring.
"But you seem a little different now than before."
But... I can't quite put my finger on it, what's different about it." Zhao Chen looked suspiciously at Ah Yin, who was face to face in the video.
Ah Yin suddenly realized something, and she smiled faintly: "It's nothing."
On behalf of the Machine Race, I thank Lord Wyvern for the assistance he has provided us this time.
"This isn't free, you know."
"We had an agreement beforehand." Zhao Chen immediately revealed a shrewd businessman's expression.
Ah Yin smiled and nodded.
"And when is your master coming back?"
"It's been almost half a year now." Zhao Chen mentioned the little girl again.
“Master... should be back soon.” Ah Yin gave an ambiguous answer.
After a few more casual words, the communication was cut off.
Zhao Chen leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool, gazing at the starry sky.
The leisurely time is almost over.
