Therefore, when these small outposts were attacked, Chen Ming generally had time to take away the Dusk cores.
Only a few were unlucky, discovering the attack late and having their cores directly hit, resulting in the destruction of the unfortunate Dusk cores during this assault.
The number was about twenty or so, not too many.
However, although Chen Ming's Maintenance Spiritual Energy can repair the Dusk cores themselves, it cannot repair the consciousness within them.
So, if these Dusk cores are lost, it is truly a loss.
Chen Ming currently only has tens of thousands of Dusk cores, losing a few still makes him feel pained.
Not to mention that some of the equipment at the outposts and quite a portion of resources had to be abandoned there, either destroyed by the Mechanical Race or plundered by them.
With Chen Ming's Pioneer Fleet having already performed four leaps, these small outposts near the Empire were numerous, accounting for about 40% of Chen Ming's resource inflow.
