Now that preparations had reached this point, Tian Zhongqi had no intention of waiting any longer. In fact, he could hardly afford to. The McCullenwick people's Nano Detectors followed regular routes, but those routes weren't set in stone. Every so often, intelligent programs changed their patrol paths to keep anyone from figuring out their patterns and targeting them.
This instinctive caution had caused enormous trouble for the fleet lying in wait. After all, each of the sixteen Detachment Fleets had more than 1,400 warships, any of which could be discovered at any moment. Warships moved far more slowly than Nano Detectors.
"Take your positions as planned. Stand by to attack!"
At the Primarch's command, the sixteen Detachment Fleets surged toward the interior of the star system. Sophon Detectors were monitoring the area in great numbers, making the situation inside the system clear as day. Specially assigned warships covered all the critical locations. Three years of reconnaissance and repeated military simulations had
given the Staff Group enough time to scrutinize every detail. Now the operation proceeded like clockwork. Every warship had its own assignment, and they had planned multiple approach routes to avoid the dense Nano Detectors and respond to any unforeseen circumstances.
The leaders of the Community, stationed in the rear or silently observing the Legion's fleet through their Quantum Communicators from far behind the lines, watched with anticipation as this operation—one that would determine humanity's fate—began.
Countless warships swiftly reached their combat positions and entered the stealth phase, readying for the final battle. Ships farther away pressed on as fast as they could. One warship after another glided silently through the tranquil vacuum as a heavy killing intent quietly shrouded the star system.
"Legion Commander, all of my fleet is in position. Awaiting your orders!" A Librarian staff officer
