Prelude to the Battle of Pluto

Search Team Seven: "Team Seven Captain has received the message, what are the instructions from the command center?"

"Have any enemies been discovered?" the messenger asked.

"No enemies have been discovered at present, and there are no abnormalities within the explored area," came the voice of the captain from Search Team Seven.

"How is that possible? Where exactly are the enemies? We haven't even seen a shadow of them after so long."

The messenger muttered to himself, glancing at Lei Ke, who was still waiting not far away, and quickly reported the situation of this search fleet to him.

"I understand, continue to inquire with the other search fleets." Lei Ke waved his hand after speaking, and the messenger watching from the side immediately began to contact the other search fleets.

"Reporting to the command center, this is Search Team 186, no abnormalities have been found so far."

"Reporting to the command center, this is Search Team 245, no abnormalities have been found so far."

"Reporting to the command center..."

The images in the command room kept changing, and Lei Ke and the messenger were patiently watching and carefully asking the search fleets if they had discovered any enemies.

From the messages sent back by these search fleets, there were no abnormalities within a hundred light-years around the Eastern District Fleet. The information learned from the search fleets was consistent, and no enemies appeared around.

Lei Ke tapped the armrest of the chair, his brow furrowed.

"Could it be that the enemies are not in this area? But the fleets in the other three areas haven't found them either? Where could the enemies have gone?"

Then Lei Ke shook his head, throwing away the feeling of annoyance in his heart.

"Forget it, since no abnormalities have been found in the various search fleets, there is no need to continue waiting here." Lei Ke thought for a while and looked at the messenger on the side, ordering, "Pass down the order, let the search fleets expand their scope and continue reconnaissance, and the Main Battleship fleet continues to advance."

"Understood, Commander!" The messenger's spirit was shaken, and he immediately accepted the order.

Soon, the huge fleet engines once again spewed out several thick white particle jets. The particle jets blasted out, allowing the fleet to advance rapidly like a comet dragging a comet tail.

Around the fleet, countless small warships were doing the same. The movements of the small spaceships distributed around were much smaller. Although the scale was large, they did not look as shocking as those huge Main Battleships.

The Eastern District Fleet set sail again, and at their speed, they could soon expand the search range again.

More than a month later, the four district fleets of the Taotie Civilization still failed to find the Hua Xia Civilization's fleet. At this time, the four Taotie fleets had expanded their search range to half of the Milky Way Galaxy, but still found nothing.

Not only that, in the past month or so, the Taotie Civilization has lost nearly a hundred Patrol Ships one after another, greatly reducing their search capabilities.

Not far from Pluto, the Hua Xia Third Fleet was hiding in a space. Inside the flagship, Deputy Commander Yang Bin reported to Zhu Tianyi: "Commander, the Second Fleet has lured away two-thirds of the enemy's forces. Now, Pluto only has one-third of the Taotie Legion's forces left. Can we launch an attack?"

This was the battle plan personally deployed by Zhu Tianyi two months ago. Because the strength of both sides was similar, and the numbers were also huge.

It was impossible to start a war directly on Pluto, and it might even destroy Pluto. Therefore, Zhu Tianyi sent people from the Second Fleet to lure away the enemy's large forces, and then hide in the dark to carry out sneak attacks and eliminate their vital forces.

The Third Fleet secretly hid, waiting for the opportunity to directly attack Pluto, whose defense had been greatly reduced, and it would be best to annihilate the Taotie King Shi Hao in one fell swoop!

"Good, after waiting for so long, it's time to take action. Order all the captains of the Third Fleet, the target is Pluto, ten light-years away, set off immediately."

"Also, notify the Second Fleet to start the operation. They must at least hold back the Taotie Civilization's scattered forces outside. Isn't the Super Soldier Company observing interstellar warfare there? Let the Super Soldier Company assist from the side."

"Yes, Commander."

As Zhu Tianyi's order was issued, every warship in the huge Third Fleet began to move. The engines ignited, and they all entered high-speed motion. As the speed of the entire fleet became faster and faster, under the leadership of some Main Battleships, they instantly accelerated to a faster-than-light state.

Then, space quaked, and a large wormhole appeared. The massive fleet, so large it blotted out the sky, advanced for a moment before diving directly into the wormhole, vanishing without a trace.

The two fleets of the Hua Xia Civilization began to move simultaneously. At this moment, the Taotie Civilization's Eastern District Fleet was speeding forward at its location.

Inside the massive flagship's command room, Lei Ke, the commander of the Eastern District Fleet, looked at the screen displaying the view ahead of the fleet. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

However, Lei Ke had a strong premonition that something was definitely amiss.

Lei Ke was born with an extremely strong intuition. Relying on his super intuition, he had avoided countless dangers, and finally climbed to his current position, defeating all competitors.

"No! We can't go any further." Lei Ke was distraught, feeling extremely dangerous all around him. He felt a little creepy, and his intuition told him that if he continued to move forward, he would soon encounter great danger.

"Order the fleet to stop and retreat immediately." Lei Ke quickly ordered.

"Commander, what's wrong?" The messenger asked, puzzled.

The search fleet had already confirmed that there were no enemies around, so why retreat? With many doubts, the messenger still honestly conveyed the order.

As the order was transmitted everywhere, the engines at the front of the Eastern District Fleet's warships were all activated, and jets of intense white particles erupted, gradually reducing the fleet's speed.

Afterward, they didn't turn around, but continued to drive the front-end engines, allowing the entire fleet to slowly retreat.

Lei Ke was very experienced. In this kind of situation where danger might be encountered, the fleet could not turn its bow when retreating, otherwise the formation would be scattered, and they might be caught off guard by suddenly emerging enemies, without even the power to fight back.

However, after a while, a large number of space wormholes appeared around the Eastern District Fleet, and a large number of warships from the Hua Xia Civilization's Second Fleet sailed out of the wormholes.

In the direction of the Eastern District Fleet's retreat, in front, to the left, to the right, in all directions, in just an instant, tens of thousands of warships from the Hua Xia Civilization suddenly appeared from the wormholes, surrounding the Eastern District Fleet.

The Eastern District Fleet was constantly scanning all directions. As soon as the Hua Xia Second Fleet appeared, more than a dozen alarms sounded in the Eastern District Fleet's flagship.
