Capturing the afterimage left by the drone before it was deployed, a man aboard another kilometer-class warship let out a light exclamation.
"A second-generation Cicada? What about your latest Phantom Butterfly drone? Isn't its performance better?"
The woman still did not answer, but instead split her mind in two, slowly advancing the warship under her feet while controlling the second-generation Cicada drone to streak rapidly through the starry sky a light-year away.
As time passed, the position of the fleet kept advancing forward, and suddenly, the woman who had been silent all this time sent out an alert signal through the communication screen.
"The Cicada drone has entered the Star Domain covered by Deep Blue Spores, distance: 1.01 light-years."
Hearing this warning, the man on the communication screen raised his eyebrows, but his attention fell on the control distance mentioned by the woman.
