Bastions could also carry a great deal of resources. With a Bastion at their disposal, fleets could double their combat power.
It was a weapon of war. At least in the history of humanity's interstellar colonization efforts, they'd always come in handy.
At the same time, however, the resources required to operate a bastion were astronomical.
That's why the Eastern Alliance only managed to create two, even with all of its resources.
In terms of resources, the Northern Alliance was much stronger. That was why they had more Bastions and fleets.
Tyrannosaurus wasn't metallic in color, but a deep brown. If it weren't for the many mechanical marks on its surface, it would be easy to mistake it for an administrative planet.
A Bastion couldn't teleport like the alien planets, but when it was fully operational it was no slouch.
It relied on its size, mass, and powerful shields.
A Bastion could destroy an ordinary planet if it smashed into it.
Bastions weren't divided into classes, but they were built in different sizes.
Without a doubt, the size of a Bastion was directly proportional to its combat power.
The larger a Bastion was, the more energy it could carry, and the more powerful the ships and cannons it could carry.
The Bastion was the only thing that could bring railguns to the battlefield.
Tyrannosaurus was one example.
There were three thousand six hundred first class railguns.
Five hundred and forty second class railguns.
Eighty third class railguns.
In terms of battleship power, a first class railgun was the equivalent of a battleship's main cannon.
A second class railgun was the equivalent of a battleship's main cannon. A third class railgun was the equivalent of a battleship's main cannon.
Not to mention, each bastion had its own trump card. Their unique main cannons.
Lan Jue had personally experienced the power of a Bastion's main cannon. Zeus -1 had almost been obliterated in the Shattered Starfields.
A single blast from the cannon had cleared a large swath of the Starfields.
Tyrannosaurus was the second largest of the Northern Alliance's seven bastions, second only to the Northern Alliance's capital, Planet Luo.
It was a third the size of Heron and Arachnid.
As for the data of its super main cannon, Lan Jue had yet to obtain it, but she could imagine its terrifying power.
The guide ship slowed to a crawl as it approached Tyrannosaurus.
Following behind, Zeus -1 naturally slowed down as well.
A landing hatch opened up on one side of the bastion, large enough for them to enter.
The Driver heaved a sigh. "What an awe-inspiring existence!
During this period of time, his cultivation had risen very quickly. He had always felt that he was already strong enough.
But compared to this thing, an individual's strength is still too insignificant. "
Yes.
Even someone as strong as Jue Di would die in the face of a bastion ship's full force attack, especially in the middle of space without any cover or cover.
There was still a huge gap between individual strength and the terrifying crystallization of technology.
Now that they were close enough they could see what was going on inside the bastion.
The Bastion's surface was lined with heavy cannons like a porcupine.
The angle of these cannons could be adjusted.
According to what Lan Jue had learned in school, the railguns weren't controlled by a single unit.
They were controlled by a team of soldiers, who would fire at the command of their commander.
The railguns on the bastion's surface weren't controlled by a single unit, but by area.
The railguns in each area were controlled by a team of soldiers, who would fire at the command of their commander.
As for the location of the Level 2 and Level 3 Planetary Railguns, they would only know when the war began.
As for the locations of second-level and third-level railguns, they'd have to wait until the battle began.
There were at least three hundred entrances like the one in front of them.
When war broke out, Tyrannosaurus could deploy tens of thousands of fighters in less than three minutes.
When the battle began, Tyrannosaurus could release tens of thousands of fighters in less than three minutes.
The status of a top-notch pilot in the military was no less than that of a god-ranked pilot.
Fighting in space was much more direct and simple.
The guide ship had already entered the runway, and Zeus -1 slowly entered.
Inside Tyrannosaurus' interior, the metallic feel of the ship was much stronger. The solid alloy was rectangular in shape, its surface a matte silver that didn't reflect light.
Deep into the interior, Zeus -1 was guided by the guide ship to a landing pad.
It wasn't long before a mid-sized verti-car came to a stop next to Zeus-1. It was accompanied by a small squadron of mechas.
Jueti wasn't with the scouting party this time. Jueti had remained on Skyfire to rest and meditate.
After all, the Eastern Alliance wasn't in charge of this war.
Lan Jue had told Jueti that his mission was to investigate, and that he wouldn't risk his life.
Even so, Jueti had asked Roxanne to come with him.
Although the lineup wasn't as strong as the last, it was still impressive.
Skyfire Avenue was led by Lan Jue. Roxanne, the Wine Master, the Clockmaker, the Gourmet, and the Pauper were also present.
The Driver and the Pharmacist were also present.
Su Xiaosu was the most familiar with the Shattered Starfields. There weren't many of them, but they were strong. They were definitely the strongest scouting party humanity could muster.
However, they'd discussed this along the way. Lan Jue was in charge of external affairs, and the other Paragons wouldn't interfere.
After all, the Northern Alliance was in charge of this operation.
If the Northern Alliance knew how many Paragons they'd bring, who knew what they'd do.
If they'd only asked for help against the aliens, it would've been fine.
If they had any malicious intent, the Bastion's main cannons would be more than they could handle!
For this reason, Lan Jue decided that they wouldn't reveal too much of their strength. However, they would still help the Northern Alliance.
After all, this was a battle for humanity.
Prejudices had to be set aside.
As they disembarked, the ten Northern Alliance mechas in front of them saluted.
Skyfire's soldiers were all in combat gear, with helmets on. As long as they didn't remove their helmets, they wouldn't be recognized.
"Welcome to Tyrannosaurus, Eastern Alliance." A melodious voice called out. The verti-car door opened and a person stepped out.
It was a female officer, tall and slender. Her fair, rosy cheeks exuded a healthy aura.
Her well-ironed military uniform accentuated her figure perfectly.
From her epaulets, one could see that she was a colonel.
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. The Northern Alliance didn't know the Eastern Alliance was sending Paragons, but they knew Star Division's commander was coming.
Yet they'd only sent a colonel, not a single general.
What's more, there was no welcoming party.
Lan Jue didn't mind the formalities, but it was clear she didn't take them seriously.
The female officer stepped forward and saluted Lan Jue. "I am Tyrannosaurus' operations staff officer, Ling Ya. On behalf of Admiral Kang Hui, I welcome you all.
Admiral Kang Hui has ordered you to see him as soon as you arrive. "
Although Lan Jue wasn't happy with the arrangement, the fight against the aliens was more important. He nodded. "Alright.
I am Lan Jue, captain of the reconnaissance team. "Lan Jue made for the verti-car as he spoke.
"Wait a moment!" Ling Ya extended her hand, a smile on her face. She stopped him in his tracks.
"Hm?" Lan Jue looked at her suspiciously.
Ling Ya went on. "We need to verify your identities and scan your bodies.
We need to make sure you're not carrying any germs onto Tyrannosaurus. "
Lan Jue's face darkened. "Do you know what you're saying, Colonel Ling Ya?"
Identity verification, inspection, and germ screening.
It was a routine procedure for any ship that entered Tyrannosaurus.
But it depended on who they were dealing with.
The Eastern Alliance had already notified the Northern Alliance of their intentions. The reconnaissance team they'd sent was of a high standard.
Both sides were working together, and they'd already verified their passwords when they docked.
Now they were going to do it all over again. It wasn't just disdain for the Eastern Alliance, it was pressure.
Ling Ya's smile never faltered. "I'm sorry, Captain Lan Jue. This is routine, please don't make things difficult for me."
Lan Jue smiled. He wouldn't lose his temper with a woman. "It looks like the Northern Alliance doesn't really need us.
If that's the case, we can choose to leave. "
Ling Ya's brows furrowed. She hadn't expected Lan Jue to be so forceful. "Captain Lan Jue, this isn't appropriate.
We're not making unreasonable demands.
Please cooperate with us. "
If you don't, I won't be able to explain myself. "
Lan Jue smirked. He didn't say anything more to her. He turned and made his way to Zeus-1.
Clang! Clang! Two metal clangs rang out as two mechas appeared to block their path.
Lan Jue turned around in surprise. She looked at Ling Ya again. Her smile was gone, replaced by a mask of frost. "This is Tyrannosaurus.
You may be from the Eastern Alliance, but since you're here, you must abide by our military rules.
This isn't a place you can come and go as you please! "
"I like it."
The Driver walked over to Lan Jue's side and removed his helmet. "You think these mechas can stop us, girl?"
