Chapter 155: A Hopeless Battle (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Blazing Fire in Dreams) (Fifth Update)

Not long after they boarded their mechs, the logistics students began their pre-battle resupply.

Su Ming then started browsing the weapon selection list. He had to admit, a mothership was indeed a mothership; the available weapons were incredibly numerous, with electromagnetic weapons accounting for more than half.

However, Su Ming considered the Faded Battlefield, where they would be fighting Kirami, and electromagnetic weapons were not very effective against it. Therefore, he directly disregarded all electromagnetic weapons.

“GD-01 Beam Rifle * 1, Energy Magazines * 5, Burst Grenades * 3”

Inside the command center.

Irelia sat in the main command chair.

Operators continuously reported on the preparation progress.

“Establishing data connection with 3rd Grade Battleship · Rock Shield. Connection successful!”

“Establishing data connection with 3rd Grade Battleship · Storm Shadow. Connection successful!”

“Du Mu power zone self-check complete, no abnormalities!”

“Hangar 1 and 2, mech preparation completion 66%, estimated battle readiness in 11 minutes and 32 seconds.”

Irelia sat in the command chair, quietly listening to her subordinates’ reports.

At this moment, Bila Duo stepped forward to report.

“Sir, Rock Shield and Wind Shadow are ready and can be recovered!”

“First, activate the CST auxiliary system, and run the scanning device at full power.”

“Are we activating the auxiliary system? Won’t this be too risky?”

Bila Duo asked with some hesitation. They had long been accustomed to not using the auxiliary system.

“It’s fine, just execute it.”

Irelia said confidently.

“Understood.”

Bila Duo and the others immediately complied, and soon the auxiliary system was activated, and the scanning device entered full power operation.

“Recover!”

Irelia immediately issued the command.

“Yes, commencing recovery mission.”

Bila Duo immediately gave instructions to the Operator.

“Understood, Du Mu has activated suspended stationary mode.”

“Closing L2 isolation channel.”

“Preparing to open the ventral recovery bay.”

In the vast starry sky.

A colossal mothership, 110 kilometers long and 24 kilometers wide, with dark gray armor, a shuttle-shaped hull, and feather-like coverings on both sides with 5000 launch ports and intercepting cannons, hung motionless in a suspended state.

At this moment, on both sides of the Du Mu, two seven-kilometer-long battleships were synchronously descending in altitude.

The 3rd Grade Battleship · Wind Shadow on the left had a narrow and long hull, with smooth and light lines. The 3rd Grade Battleship · Rock Shield on the right had a thick hull, covered with layers of heavy armor.

After the two battleships descended to their designated positions, they began to slowly approach the Du Mu.

At this point, the Du Mu’s belly split open, revealing a huge hangar.

In the Du Mu’s command center, Bila Duo continuously reported.

“The bottom bay has opened, and the ships are beginning to dock.”

“Progress ten percent!”

“Correcting errors.”

Irelia patiently waited for the ships to be recovered.

Not long after, the two battleships were successfully recovered, and Bila Duo immediately reported.

“Recovery operation complete.”

Irelia then waved her hand, and a huge virtual star map appeared.

She continuously enlarged the star map, then locked onto the main star of the Taiboken Transit Country, and immediately issued a command.

“Ignite, activate the faster-than-light flight device, all power engines on, energy defense barrier on.”

“Understood, activating Nuclear Power Engines 1 and 2.”

“Energy shield activating, 5%, 10%…”

At this moment, a piercing alert sounded throughout the ship’s broadcast.

“Emergency notice, in five minutes, the spaceship will activate faster-than-light flight mode. All personnel, maintain a fixed position to withstand the impact!”

Su Ming and the others were all very excited after hearing the broadcast.

At this time, non-combat personnel on the ship, such as logistics students and medics, rushed to the nearest emergency fixed chairs and sat down.

Inside the command center.

Bila Duo continuously reported.

“Faster-than-light flight device activation progress fifty percent, sixty percent.”

“One hundred percent!”

“Faster-than-light flight mode activated!”

Instantly, all of the Du Mu’s engine nozzles spewed dazzling halos, and a terrifying impact swept through, causing the entire Du Mu to vibrate violently, with the hull emitting the sound of metal being squeezed.

At this moment, the space in front of the Du Mu rippled like water, and the entire ship directly passed through the rippling space and disappeared.

In the hangar, Su Ming and the others sat in their pilot seats, their faces showing uncomfortable expressions.

One must know that they were inside the mech’s cockpit, yet they still felt intense discomfort.

However, fortunately, not long after the Du Mu entered stable faster-than-light flight, the pressure gradually receded.

“Phew~ I was so uncomfortable, this faster-than-light flight experience is really not good at all.”

Zhang Yi and the others complained in the communication channel.

“Normal, this isn’t a Star Destroyer, how good can the experience be?”

Rhine stretched and replied.

“Sigh, then how long will we be flying at faster-than-light speed?”

“It’s still early! At least an hour or two.”

“Then what do we do for these one or two hours? We can’t just sit there, can we?”

“Just chat, it’ll pass quickly.”

“Alright, by the way, do you know what kind of battle the Faded Battlefield actually is? I saw many senior students looking very upset.”

“That was a very tragic battle.”

“That’s nonsense, tell me something useful!”

“I’m not too sure either, I’m not from the command department.”

Rhine replied helplessly.

Just then, Qin Feng’s voice sounded in the communication channel, and he spoke.

“Regarding the Faded Battlefield, I do know a bit. Because the Giant Wind Fleet, which belonged to the Thirteenth District, was forcibly conscripted by the Federal Government to go for rescue back then, and an elder in my family served in the Giant Wind Fleet, so I often heard my family members talk about it.”

“Quick, tell us!”

Rhine and the others urged.

“That was a battle with no survivors. Kirami completely surrounded the entire Taiboken Transit Country, not allowing anyone to escape. The Federal Government’s commander at the time, I don’t know if he lost his mind or what happened. He actually desperately pressured nearby fleets to go for rescue, completely disregarding tactics. The fleets that went for rescue were like moths flying into a flame, constantly charging forward.”

Qin Feng sighed and said.

“How can such an idiot be a commander? I could command better with my toes.”

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but complain upon hearing this.

“I’m not sure, but anyway, I don’t have a good feeling about this battle. It’s very likely that everyone will be wiped out in the end.”

Qin Feng said after a few seconds of silence.

“Not necessarily. Although this league uses the Faded Battlefield as a Instances, the commander is different, the combat personnel are different, and we know the situation better than the original support forces. We still have a chance to win.”

Su Ming analyzed calmly.

“The class leader is right, we’re re-entering the Faded Battlefield from a God’s perspective, we might not lose.”

Anqi and Elu and the others greatly believed what Su Ming said.

“Exactly, I think so too.”

Rhine and the others also echoed.

Qin Feng was slightly surprised to hear this. He didn’t expect Su Ming to have such high prestige in the class.

It should be known that students of the Royal Court Academy actually had a certain arrogance in their bones.

Even if you were the class leader, not everyone would listen to you unless you could truly impress them.

Qin Feng considered himself very outstanding, but as the class leader of Class 1, his words weren’t particularly effective, often requiring repeated communication to persuade his classmates.
