"This really is the worst-case scenario..."
Ishar frowned slightly at her side's somewhat disordered formation.
Although earlier intelligence had already told her that the enemy's communication technology was highly unusual, and she had considered whether they might also possess Quantum Communication Jamming Technology to counter her forces, the actual occurrence still gave Ishar quite a headache.
This was no scheme or trick, but a genuine technological advantage.
Judging from the intelligence gathered in previous battles, the All Things Unity Society's Mecha army before them was very likely entirely unmanned. From the Miniature Robots on Callisto to the Mecha army here, the enemy seemed particularly adept at remotely controlling vast numbers of unmanned units in combat.
Even more astonishing, their responsiveness was almost indistinguishable from that of units piloted by real people.
Her soldiers were fighting and bleeding, yet they faced an army of steel with not a soul inside. Her forces could not even inflict many casualties on the enemy...
Such a situation was undoubtedly a serious blow to morale.
"Have we still not deciphered the enemy's means of communication?" Ishar turned to her adjutant.
"My apologies, ma'am. Our technicians have systematically analyzed the wreckage of the enemy's weapons, but just as in the battle on Callisto that Alsace previously encountered, we still have nothing. There aren't even any communication modules on them for us to analyze...
"Even stranger, all the Control Chips inside the wreckage have vanished, as though they evaporated into thin air.
"Our technicians believe this is very likely some form of technological encryption we cannot yet crack. It most likely originated from the Ante Empire on the other side, or another alien civilization that trades with the All Things Unity Society..." the adjutant said helplessly.
"Sigh!" Ishar could only sigh.
It seemed they would be unable
