In the outer space beyond Lunka Planet, David rendezvoused with the escort fleet and boarded the flagship, continuing deeper into space.
The Federal Nineteenth Fleet was currently stationed at a spaceport near the war zone's defensive line. That line would also be handed over to the Nineteenth Fleet, and all the Space Fortresses there would fall under David's command.
This trip was not merely for David to take over and inspect the Nineteenth Fleet; it was also to assume control of the defensive line.
"Activate the Warp Engines. Enter lightspeed in escort formation!" Major General Morris's order was relayed, and the escort fleet's 120 Battleships abruptly accelerated from normal cruising speed.
The journey would take two days. David's mind had long since left his main body and arrived at Lord Harlow's clone.
At the base on Landers Planet, whether they were knights from God's Great World or Armored Warriors and Transcendents from the Interstellar Federation, all deeply admired the Temple Knight combat team led by Lord Harlow.
The combat strength of Lord Harlow's Temple Knight team was one reason, but more importantly, they were incredibly diligent. They did not slack off because of their month-long rotation; instead, they tirelessly cleared the surface of Landers Planet with barely any rest.
Anyone on Landers Planet could see this through the Federation's electronic Map. The areas that changed from red to yellow were those that had been preliminarily cleared.
Short on resources, the Interstellar Federation had dispatched Transcendents and Armored Warriors to join with Temple Knights from God's Great World in Hunting Squads. Using their numerical advantage, they hunted Zerg in the yellow zones closer to the base.
Lord Harlow, who was on patrol, paused slightly. Without making any movement, the five Temple Knights beside him also stopped at the same time.
