However, the distance of more than fifty meters between the two is already the limit.

Rhodes Island really can't get any closer.

"Understood, maintaining this distance is fine."

Kal'tsit calmly issued the order, and then began to direct the others.

Where the cannons should have been on both sides, numerous launching devices were now installed, and with a roar, chains locked the high-speed moving platform.

This is how they log in.

"... Are we really going to proceed from a place like this?"

The woman, nicknamed "Doctor," turned pale as she watched the chain swaying incessantly.

She watched this scene with trembling eyes, then hesitated before glancing at her own large cat, feeling somewhat uneasy.

You'll die...

Can you really walk over a hundred meters using only this swaying iron chain?

With my physique, how could I possibly withstand it?

Looking around again, the Doctor hoped others would also express their opinions on this login method.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people didn't change their expressions; in fact, they swaggered forward without a care in the world.

Their control over their bodies is on a completely different level from the Doctor's!

This made the Doctor turn pale.

It's not nice to say it like this, but she really wanted to retreat.

At that moment, the white-haired kitten suddenly reached out its paw.

"Huh? What's wrong, Rosmontis?"

"I can... Doctor."

The catgirl waved her hand, and the huge armor floating beside her assembled and lay flat in front of the Doctor. Without hesitation, the catgirl grabbed the doctor's sleeve and walked up with him.

After confirming that the Doctor was in position, she quietly waved her hand and began to control the armor to move against gravity...

The Doctor was initially very scared.

But when she noticed that the armor was moving very slowly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Wow, that's amazing... Rosmontis!"

"Hmm~"

The Doctor reached out and couldn't help but admire the white kitten. Seeing it raise its neck and show a satisfied expression, he intensified his rubbing.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Kal'tsit and Amiya, who were standing nearby.

Kal'tsit merely frowned, then turned her head away.

Amiya, on the other hand, straightened her slender legs slightly, her expression showing some displeasure.

However, he didn't say much more.

Fifty meters is not a long distance, and the group quickly covered it.

However, they did not rush to take action immediately. Instead, they took out the map that Lungmen had previously surveyed and began to observe it carefully.

"Based on the markings, this platform should be platform number seventeen... It was originally the core power layer, but we don't know how it's been modified now."

Together, the Lungmen Guard Department and Rhodes Island began discussing their plan.

Elsewhere, the operators were also boarding the ships one after another.

However, they were all responsible for drawing fire; the real core work was done by this group of people.

"According to Misha's information, the control center is located in the very center of this area... there is only one passage leading to the twelfth underground level, which is also the control platform."

At this point, Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then frowned.

Hoshiguma, who was standing nearby, naturally understood the other person's concerns, so she spoke on their behalf, explaining the most serious problem at hand.

"We originally estimated that the Reunion Movement would arrive in a week... The biggest basis for this was our analysis of the maximum output power of the platform currently controlled by the Reunion Movement."

"But judging from the current situation, the Reunion Movement has used certain methods to overload the machinery within the platform... They certainly won't cherish these things, and naturally, they won't maintain them."

"The underground temperature is now at least three hundred degrees Celsius... At this temperature, those machines would most likely have already collapsed."

Hoshiguma spoke, her expression turned serious, the cheerful look from before completely gone.

"But now we are less than eighteen hours away from Lungmen. Considering the need to leave room for maneuver and deal with the remaining issues of the Reunion Movement, we only have six hours to solve this problem... Even if it takes every means, we must stop the energy center from supplying power!"

She raised her head again and looked around at everyone.

"The Reunion Movement must have thought of this too, which means they must have arranged for a lot of people to guard that area."

"Our comrades outside can't possibly break through from the outside all the way in... It's too difficult and too dangerous."

"Therefore, we must split into two groups: one to deal with the enemy, and the other to handle the energy core issue..."

At this point, Hoshiguma also looked at Amiya on the other side.

Amiya understood intuitively.

But she didn't readily agree to the choice; instead, she turned to look at the crowd behind her.

Both of the options Hoshiguma offered had their own advantages and disadvantages.

Given the critical importance of the energy blockade entrance, the enemy is naturally powerful, making it unlikely that the enemy can be safely contained.

As for shutting down the energy supply... they had just heard Hoshiguma's analysis; the control room buried underground was extremely dangerous, and even entering it posed considerable risks.

Therefore, the battlefield needs to be allocated according to each person's abilities.

However, the Doctor had finally recovered from his fear of heights, slowly frowned.

"Perhaps... we can look at it from a different angle..."

"Um?"

"Go straight and capture the leaders of the Reunion Movement!"

Actually, the Doctor couldn't quite understand these people's thinking.

Their core objective is good—to protect Lungmen's safety... but the process itself...

I can't say much about the Doctor.

Seriously, there are only a dozen or so of us right now, and even though everyone is Elite Operator, so what?

Ultimately, no one can change the terrain on such a large scale with a single move.

If the teams pulling the others are disrupted, the remaining people may be trapped and die within the energy transmission corridor.

If that's the case, why not try a different approach?

Ultimately, Lungmen's biggest problems right now are two: this high-speed moving bomb and the small bombs on it called the Reunion Movement.

Once the leader of the Reunion Movement is captured, the remaining mobile platform issue will be much easier to resolve.

At least, the Doctor knew that if it crashed into the platform at the current speed, the entire mobile platform would explode, and none of the Reunion Movement members on it would survive!

This is definitely not their philosophy.

Therefore, the other party must know some secret passages leading to the energy center!

Given their numbers and quality, a decapitation strike would be the best option for them!

Chapter 179 A Miracle Happened with a Single Draw!

The Doctor was clearly not satisfied with Hoshiguma and the others' plan, and those around him gradually frowned as a result.

Especially Hoshiguma and Chen standing to the side.

After only a moment's thought, they easily realized that the Doctor might be right.

Given their current numbers and capabilities, it would be foolish for them to confront the enemy that the Reunion Movement has already set up. However, if they were to attack the Reunion Movement's leader directly, as the Doctor suggested, the chances of success would be much higher.

But...

"It's probably too late now."

Kal'tsit, standing to the side, shook her head.

She agrees with the Doctor's plan, but there's currently a problem.

"We don't know where the leader of the Reunion Movement is... If we spend time searching for him, we might expose ourselves, which would be very disadvantageous for us."

"But it's not a wise move to directly confront an entire mobile platform Reunion Movement."

The Doctor frowned.

But Kal'tsit clearly had her own reasons for doing so.

For the time being, neither side could really argue which was better.

But Lappland suddenly spoke up at that moment.

"If all else fails, then Texas and I will go look for it?"

"Um?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to him.

But Lappland wasn't intimidated; she just kept smiling.

"Anyway, we came here against our will and weren't part of your plan. If you insist on cooperating, it might cause problems. In that case, Texas and I might as well act on our own and maybe we can do something."

"But..."

"No problem."

Seeing Amiya struggling with her dilemma, Texas nodded after a moment of silence.

Although she and Lappland have never gotten along well, they are longtime friends, so they can still cooperate to some extent.

Moreover, Texas was right.

Rhodes Island and Lungmen Guard Department are two distinct factions, and Tai He them, as outsiders, to join either organization and play a role in a short period of time.

In that case, it would be better to let them move around freely; they would obviously have more options that way.

"This would be extremely dangerous..."

Hoshiguma and the others tried to dissuade him.

Unfortunately, the Twin Wolves also had their own ideas.

"Life is full of dangers, isn't it? Don't worry, Texas and I are prepared."

"Besides, we're not that easy to get into trouble with~"

With that, she shouldered her weapon, demonstrating her resolve.

Amiya, who was standing to the side, clearly wanted to stop him, but the Doctor raised his hand and pressed her down.

"In the city center, there's a high platform leading to the upper levels. From there, you can easily see the entire platform. You can start looking for people from there..."

"... I see."

Upon hearing the Doctor speak, Texas knew that their request had been accepted.

This made her feel somewhat guilty.

After all, they insisted on coming along, and they clearly agreed to follow instructions when they came. But now, they've broken their initial promise and said they want to act alone.

This is somewhat of a breach of promise.

However, everyone took it in stride, given the critical situation and the lack of time to dwell on it.

After a brief assignment of tasks, Rhodes Island took on the task of attracting the Reunion Movement, while Chen and the others headed to the Energy Room.

With the plan finalized, everyone quickly got to work.

Rhodes Island quickly arrived at their target location, guided by the previously obtained map.

Here, a massive, dark army had been waiting for a long time.

"Lady Kal'tsit?"
