Chapter 335: Slok Star Sea Battle 4 (Five in One)
by SunflowerAt the edge of the battlefield, the DX-06 Defense Outpost drifted over.
Behind the DX-06 Defense Outpost, Major Su Ming and the others shut down their power units, activated camouflage mode, and hid on the Defense Outpost.
“I’ve found that this Defense Outpost doesn’t seem to be identified as an enemy by them. We pushed such a large target here, and they still haven’t noticed.”
Currifa said with some surprise.
“That’s normal. This Defense Outpost belongs to the Water Snake Legion. In the Gray Gun Legion’s identification system, it should display as friendly. They’ll only detect danger the moment we lock onto them.”
Major Su Ming explained to Currifa.
“What are we waiting for then? Let’s quickly deal with that Gray Gun. You can see that Colonel Kaf has been leading his men in a half-day siege with no effect.”
Ye Hai urged impatiently.
“Alright, begin charging!”
Major Su Ming immediately gave the order to Zhang Shi and the others.
“Yes!”
Zhang Shi immediately began operating.
Major Su Ming then said to Currifa and the others.
“Let’s not enter the battle yet, so as not to alert the enemy. Once the outpost launches its attack, we’ll swarm in and directly assault the Gray Gun.”
“Okay!”
Currifa and Ye Hai both agreed.
At this moment, Kaf, controlling the Shadow Mecha, continuously swung his particle lightsaber, slaying one Beast Tooth Mecha after another that charged at him.
But for every five he took down, ten more rushed up, an endless stream.
These Beast Tooth Mecha charged forward recklessly, though not of their own volition; it was more due to Ceruka’s coercion. If they didn’t advance, Ceruka would settle accounts with them one by one after the battle.
Their actions, however, created a huge obstacle for Kaf, preventing him from attacking the Gray Gun for a time.
This would cause the Gray Gun’s energy shield strength to gradually recover, rendering their previous efforts useless and the deaths of so many brothers truly in vain. Therefore, Kaf was extremely anxious and cursed angrily.
“Damn it!”
Inside the Gray Gun Command Center.
Ceruka watched the energy shield recover little by little, a look of wild joy on his face, and said excitedly.
“That’s it, keep him tied up.”
“Yes!”
The Operators responded one after another.
Just then, a red warning box suddenly popped up on the operating screen.
“Warning: Gray Gun locked by DX-06 Defense Outpost.”
“What the hell?”
Ceruka was also stunned.
Before he could react, a red beam of light streaked across the starry sky from afar!
Boom!
Instantly, that red beam of light directly struck the energy shield!
A huge explosion swept out.
The Gray Gun’s energy shield distorted to its extreme, and the entire ship shook violently. Ceruka nearly fell from the command chair.
A red prompt box popped up.
“Warning, energy shield strength has dropped to five percent.”
At this moment, Major Su Ming and the others simultaneously activated their power units, controlling their Mecha, and charged towards the Gray Gun.
Kaf was also startled by this sudden scene, but when he saw Major Su Ming and the others approaching, he excitedly shouted in the communication channel.
“Our reinforcements are here! The ship’s energy shield is about to give out! Kill!”
“Kill!”
Excited voices echoed through the communication channel.
At this moment, inside the Gray Gun Command Center.
Piercing alert sounds kept popping up on the operating screen.
“Warning: Large Mecha swarm detected, cutting into the battlefield from the flank.”
“What’s going on?”
Ceruka asked in alarm and anger.
“Legion Commander, the enemy’s reinforcements are here.”
The Operator reported in terror.
“What did you say? How could this happen? Counterattack quickly!”
Ceruka immediately panicked. He knew that with only five percent of the energy shield remaining, once it was shattered, he would truly be finished.
“Yes!”
The Operator immediately input commands in a flurry.
The Level 5 Battleship · Gray Gun opened all its launch ports.
Missiles of all types were unleashed without reservation.
Intercepting cannons turned their muzzles, firing fiercely at the swarming Mecha.
At the same time, large formations of Gray Gun Legion Mecha were forcibly recalled to intercept and surround the enemy ships.
Major Su Ming, controlling the Slayer, swiftly dodged incoming beams of light, fiercely wielding his twin particle light blades, slaying one Iron Disciple Mecha after another that charged at him.
He was like a sharp blade, leading his troops to push through towards the Gray Gun.
At the same time, Kaf also reassembled his troops, charging towards the Gray Gun with irresistible force. No matter how fierce the Gray Gun’s firepower was, there was no sign of retreat.
“Concentrated fire!”
Kaf roared in the communication channel.
Major Su Ming and the others all fired beams of light from a distance towards the Gray Gun!
Soon, beams of light, like raindrops, fell onto the energy shield.
The already precarious energy shield twisted and shook even more violently, with some areas undulating like the surface of the sea.
Inside the operations room, piercing alarms continuously blared.
Red warning boxes kept popping up.
“Warning: Energy shield strength has dropped to 3.0%!”
“Warning: Energy shield strength has dropped to 2.9%!”
Ceruka watched the continuously falling energy shield strength, so anxious that he stood up from the command chair, completely losing his mind, and screamed hysterically.
“Idiots! Fools! Stop them!”
Unfortunately, it was useless. No matter how he raged, Major Su Ming and the others’ attacks grew fiercer, and the energy shield strength plummeted.
When the energy shield strength dropped to 0.5%.
Kaf directly went all out, activating the Shadow Killer’s overclocked state, his twin particle lightsabers instantly turning red. He controlled his Mecha to transform into a streak of light, crashing into the Gray Gun’s energy shield like a meteor.
Boom!
The Gray Gun’s energy shield shattered with a roar, turning into a sky full of starlight.
“Success!”
In the communication channel, everyone cheered excitedly.
“Charge!”
Major Su Ming saw this scene, immediately gave the order to everyone, then he took the lead and rushed forward, adjusting the particle beam cannon, maximizing its power output, and sweeping a shot across!
Rumble!
Large sections of intercepting cannons were destroyed.
Overwhelming numbers of Mecha, like locusts, swarmed towards the Gray Gun. They fired beams of light into some of the open launch ports.
These beams of light shot into the open launch ports.
Boom~
Violent explosions bloomed continuously like fireworks.
Instantly, the entire Gray Gun was like prey being gnawed by countless locusts, exploding everywhere.
Inside the Command Center.
Red warning boxes kept popping up one after another.
“Warning: Scanning device overloaded!”
“Warning: K292 armor layer damaged!”
“Warning: Launch port number 29123 destroyed!”
“Warning: Intercepting cannon number 33182 destroyed!”
The entire Gray Gun’s miniature schematic, icon by icon, turned red and yellow.
“Legion Commander, the energy shield has shattered, and the Federation forces are frantically destroying us. What do we do now?”
The Operator was utterly terrified. Although a Level 5 Battleship was powerful, with its energy shield destroyed and being surrounded and pummeled by so many Mecha at close range, it wouldn’t be able to hold out forever.
Ceruka said in shock and anger.
“Retreat! Immediately full power output, circle around and break out!”
“But the Federation’s Mecha are entangling us.”
The Operator asked, trembling.
“Immediately order all units to return and intercept!”
Ceruka gave the order recklessly. He didn’t care about anything now, only wanted to rush out and escape.
“S-sir, our troops have routed and are no longer following orders.”
At this moment, a subordinate reported in despair.
“What did you say?”
Ceruka immediately rushed to the control panel, looking at the displayed optical image. He saw numerous Gray Gun Legion soldiers, upon seeing their mothership surrounded and in peril, not rushing back to rescue it first, but scattering like a disorganized mob, each fleeing for their lives.
Ceruka saw this scene, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared like a raging lion.
“Bastards! Don’t let me get back, I’ll wipe out your whole families, not a single one of you will live!”
“S-Ceruka, sir, what do we do now?”
A subordinate beside him asked, trembling.
“What else can we do? Accelerate and escape! Get me out of here!”
Ceruka roared, close to a breakdown.
In the starry sky, the Gray Gun was at full power, its massive hull crashing forward recklessly.
Ye Hai and the others, seeing this, roared in the communication channel.
“Everyone, be careful, that bastard is trying to escape!”
“Dream on! Stop him at all costs!”
Kaf shouted, almost roaring.
This Gray Gun had killed so many of their brothers; Kaf would rather die than let it escape.
Major Su Ming heard Kaf and the others, and suddenly accelerated towards the Gray Gun’s stern, adjusting his particle beam cannon to maximum power output, and fired a shot towards the thruster!
Boom!
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the Gray Gun’s number 1 thruster was destroyed.
The entire Gray Gun ship shook violently, and its speed immediately slowed down.
Major Su Ming, seeing this, continued to fiercely attack the other thrusters.
Rumble~
The Gray Gun’s thrusters were destroyed one by one.
Inside the Command Center.
The Operator shouted in terror.
“Ceruka, sir, the Federation forces are destroying the ship’s thrusters, what do we do?”
Ceruka heard this, and his heart immediately sank by more than half. With the thrusters damaged, the ship’s speed would definitely slow down, making it even harder to escape the encirclement.
Just then, a massive figure landed on the bridge!
Thump!
A huge sound echoed.
Ceruka looked up and instantly turned ashen.
The one who landed on the bridge was none other than Kaf, controlling the Tier 4 Mecha · Shadow Slayer.
Kaf swung his twin particle lightsabers, striking the bridge sword after sword.
It had to be said that the bridge defense of a Level 5 Battleship was indeed sturdy; Kaf’s two strikes only managed to create a small crack.
But Kaf didn’t care in the slightest, striking sword after sword.
The cracks grew larger and larger!
Ceruka saw this scene, immediately turned and sprinted to escape!
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late!
Kaf struck the bridge with a full-force sword blow!
Crack!
The entire bridge was instantly breached, and the immense pressure difference caused one Operator after another to be sucked out.
Ceruka quickly grabbed the command chair, holding on tightly.
At this moment, Kaf, controlling his Mecha, brutally forced his way into the cockpit, first swinging his particle lightsaber at the control panel!
Snap!
The entire control panel was directly split in half.
Instantly, all of the Gray Gun’s weapons ceased firing.
Immediately after, Kaf controlled his Mecha to turn and look at Ceruka.
Legion Commander Ceruka immediately shouted in terror.
“I surrender!”
Kaf, seeing Ceruka surrender, opened the communication channel and roared to everyone.
“Everyone board the ship! Kill all who resist!”
Although Kaf was somewhat in a battle frenzy, reason still overcame his anger.
“Yes!”
Subordinates responded with murderous intent.
One hour later.
All enemies on the entire Gray Gun were cleared out. As for the remaining Gray Gun Legion personnel, they had already scattered and fled.
Major Su Ming and the others did not pursue them.
At this moment, Kaf gathered all the officers of colonel rank and above.
He took a deep breath and said to everyone.
“Everyone did very well. Through our bloody battle, we successfully defeated the Gray Gun Legion. However, the crisis is not yet over. The battle at the transfer star is not finished yet. As far as I know, our main fleet is still fighting fiercely with the enemy. Therefore, I propose that we immediately gather all personnel and head to the main battlefield for support!”
“No objection.”
“I also agree.”
Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En and the others expressed their stances one after another.
“Without further ado, let’s depart immediately!”
Kaf said very decisively.
“Wait!”
At this moment, Major Su Ming spoke up.
Kaf and the others looked at Major Su Ming in confusion, asking in the communication channel.
“Is there a problem?”
“I don’t think directly going to support will have much effect. At most, it will just add some pressure to the enemy.”
Major Su Ming directly stated his thoughts.
“Then what do you mean?”
Kaf and the others asked in confusion.
“My idea is very simple. Currently, our main forces are locked in a struggle with the enemy. We can completely bypass to the rear of the transfer star and launch a surprise attack to capture it. This way, the enemy will lose the transfer star’s fire support, and at the same time, they will be attacked from front and back, which will surely throw them into great disarray.”
Su Ming clearly stated his tactics.
“Makes sense!”
Currifa and the others expressed their agreement.
“Feasible. Then let’s do as Major Su Ming said.”
Kaff thought for a moment and immediately agreed.
“We also need to push that DX-06 Defense Outpost over. That thing is good; it can serve as our siege weapon.”
Su Ming then reminded him.
“Alright, let’s start acting!”
Kaff readily agreed.
“Mm!”
Su Ming and the others nodded in response.
—
In the starry sky.
A barren planet with no atmosphere floated.
On the planet’s surface sat a gigantic, eggshell-shaped base city, surrounded by numerous open-air Interstellar Airports, immense in scale.
In addition, many fixed defensive weapons were constructed on the planet’s surface.
This planet was the Ulakahn Neutral Country · Transit Star.
At this moment, the entire Transit Star constantly saw ships and mechas departing to support the main battlefield ahead, and occasionally damaged ships would withdraw.
Furthermore, every so often, the Transit Star would open up numerous launch ports.
Missiles poured out one after another.
Just then, the DX-06 Defense Outpost appeared behind the Ulakahn Neutral Country · Transit Star.
“Stop!”
Su Ming shouted in the communication channel.
Kaff and the others all stopped.
Then Su Ming continued in the communication channel.
“A little further forward and we’ll enter the Transit Star’s scanning device coverage area. And the enemy has set up a large number of Vigilance points ahead, so repeating the same trick definitely won’t work. If we push the DX-06 Outpost closer, we’ll definitely be exposed.”
“Alright, in that case, we’ll leave a portion of people to continue pushing, and the rest will directly attack the Transit Star!”
Kaff said without any hesitation.
“Got it!”
Currifa and the others replied excitedly in the encrypted communication channel.
“Don’t be careless during the attack. The firepower network on this Transit Star is also quite fierce.”
Kaff sternly reminded everyone.
“Understood!”
Su Ming and the others replied in a deep voice.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Kaff piloted his mecha and led the charge towards the Transit Star.
Su Ming and the others followed suit.
Inside the Transit Star · Central Control Room.
Legion Commander Pisa In of the Water Snake Legion anxiously looked at the operation screen.
From the main battlefield distribution map displayed on the screen, it was clear that his troops and the Imperial Army’s troops were constantly being compressed, and the situation was very unfavorable.
“Lord Pisa In, this won’t do. The Federation’s offensive is too fierce.”
Deputy Officer Bombardier said, gritting his teeth.
“You don’t need to tell me. We have no retreat now; we can only act according to General Auroris’s command. At least that way, we can still buy some time.”
Pisa In truly admired General Auroris’s command. He had managed to salvage a situation that was originally on the verge of collapse.
If it weren’t for General Auroris’s command, the Federation’s troops would probably already be at their doorstep.
Just then, a red warning box suddenly popped up on the operation screen.
“Warning: Federation mecha fleet detected.”
Immediately after, the operation screen displayed dense red dots.
“Lord Pisa In, this is bad! The enemy’s mecha fleet has appeared behind us, and there are many of them!”
Deputy Officer Bombardier reported in a panic.
“How is that possible? How does the enemy still have a mecha fleet? Weren’t they being held back by the Gray Gun Legion? Wait… could the Gray Gun Legion have been defeated?”
Pisa In suddenly realized.
“I’m afraid so.”
Deputy Officer Bombardier said with difficulty.
“Immediately dispatch troops to intercept them.”
Pisa In roared through gritted teeth.
“Sir, we don’t have many troops. The main force has been dispatched to the main battlefield. Only some close-defense mecha fleets are left.”
“Then use fixed weapons to intercept them!”
“Yes, immediately!”
Deputy Officer Bombardier immediately began operating.
Click, click!
In the area behind the Transit Star, rows of launch silos opened, and missiles shot out one by one.
At the same time, defensive weapons set up on the surface fired fiercely.
However, Su Ming and the others faced the Transit Star’s attack without fear. They dodged while retaliating with long-range beams of light.
Boom!
One by one, the turrets on the Transit Star’s surface were destroyed.
Kaff, Su Ming, and the others powerfully piloted their mechas, breaking through the firepower network and landing on the planet’s surface.
They charged towards the fixed turrets, violently destroying these defensive turrets with their weapons, and then blasted the distant launch pads with one shot after another.
Boom!
The defensive positions around the base city were dismantled one by one.
As the firepower weakened, more and more mechas broke through the attack and landed.
“Currifa, you lead the men to destroy these weapons. Su Ming, you take a squad and follow me to attack the enemy’s Central Control Room and take them down!”
Kaff directly issued the order.
“Yes!”
Currifa and the others responded grimly.
Su Ming, on the other hand, led Rhine and the others, following Colonel Kaff, and charged towards the base city.
Inside the Central Control Room.
The entire operation screen kept popping up red alert boxes.
“Warning: Defensive position number 38 has lost its signal source.”
“Warning: Defensive position number 12 has lost its signal source.”
“Warning: Enemy fleet is surrounding the base city!”
“Lord Pisa In, the enemy is attacking, what should we do?”
Deputy Officer Bombardier asked in a panic.
“What’s there to be afraid of? The base city still has an energy barrier. How can it be so easily breached?”
Pisa In replied through gritted teeth.
Just then, another red alert box popped up.
“Warning: Base city locked on by DX-06 Defense Outpost.”
Pisa In looked at the pop-up warning with a bewildered expression, then suddenly reacted, his face showing horror.
Unfortunately, it was too late. A red beam of light sliced through the starry sky and struck the energy barrier of the Transit Star’s base city!
Boom!
A huge explosion swept out.
The energy barrier covering the base city instantly shattered.
The entire Central Control Room shook violently.
“Lord Pisa In, the energy barrier is shattered!”
Deputy Officer Bombardier shouted in extreme terror.
“Immediately connect me to General Auroris!”
Pisa In, like a drowning person, desperately clutched at the last straw.
“Alright!”
Bombardier immediately began operating.
A few seconds later, General Auroris’s communication image appeared before Pisa In.
Pisa In reported in a panic.
“General Auroris, something terrible has happened! The Gray Gun Legion has been defeated, and the Federation’s mecha fleet has bypassed us and launched a surprise attack on the Transit Star from behind.”
General Auroris’s expression immediately darkened upon hearing Pisa In’s words.
“The Gray Gun Legion is truly useless. Pisa In, no matter what method you use, you must hold on.”
“But General Auroris, the enemy’s offensive is very fierce. I’m afraid I can’t hold on much longer. Requesting support!”
“I can’t spare any troops to support you right now. You must hold on by yourself. The Transit Star absolutely cannot fall. As long as you hold out until the Rock Corps arrives, all difficulties will be resolved.”
General Auroris said to Pisa In with gravity.
In fact, it wasn’t that he was unwilling to split his forces to reinforce the Transit Star, but the Federation’s offensive was incredibly fierce, and he was already barely holding on. Where would he find the reserves to reinforce?
“But!”
“There are no ‘buts.’ This is an order!”
“Understood.”
Pisa In could only grit his teeth and respond.
After receiving Pisa In’s reply, General Auroris cut off the communication.
Deputy Officer Bombardier turned to Legion Commander Pisa In and asked.
“Sir, what do we do now?”
“What else can we do? Send all remaining troops forward. We must hold on, even if it means death!”
Pisa In was truly at his wit’s end.
At this moment, Su Ming and the others led their team and charged into the base city.
The entire base city was empty; almost all civilians had taken refuge underground.
Soon, Iron Disciple and Beast Tooth mechas emerged one after another.
They attacked Su Ming and the others.
Su Ming piloted the Slayer, charging forward at extreme speed, slicing open a mecha as easily as cutting vegetables.
The entire battlefield was almost a one-sided situation.
At this moment, Kaff’s voice kept ringing in the public communication channel.
“Don’t get entangled with this trash. Eliminate them all. Charge towards their underground Central Control Room and take down the entire Transit Star!”
“Understood!”
Su Ming and the others didn’t waste words and directly charged inward.
Inside the Tsar Battleship’s Central Control Room.
Major General Vickers sat steadily in the command chair.
At this moment, Colonel Zhou Quan reported with great excitement.
“General, good news!”
“What good news?”
Major General Vickers looked up and asked Zhou Quan.
“Kaff and his team defeated the Gray Gun Legion and launched a surprise attack on the Transit Star from behind!”
Zhou Quan immediately reported the latest battle intelligence to Major General Vickers.
Upon hearing this intelligence, Major General Vickers raised his hand and slapped the armrest, then stood up, saying joyfully.
“Excellent work!”
“General, what should we do next?”
“With the Transit Star under attack, once Kaff and his team take it, the enemy forces here will be caught in a pincer movement. My order: launch a full-scale assault and crush them!”
“Yes!”
Zhou Quan immediately issued the order upon hearing Vickers’s command.
In the starry sky.
The Level 5 Battleship · liet yang and the Level 5 Battleship · silver moon simultaneously opened numerous launch ports.
Swish, swish!
Rows of missiles poured out.
At the same time, numerous mecha fleets received the order for a full-scale assault, and they charged forward fearlessly.
Instantly, the defending Water Snake Legion and Phantom Legion forces suffered severe damage, and mechas were blown up one after another.
Inside the Level 5 Battleship · Ghost Shadow’s Central Control Room.
“General Auroris, the Federation is launching a fierce attack on us. Casualties are rising sharply!”
“General Auroris, the Federation’s surprise mecha fleet has already breached the Transit Star’s base city. The Transit Star is in critical condition.”
Auroris’s subordinates reported nervously.
General Auroris’s expression kept changing as he listened to his subordinates’ reports, finally letting out a long sigh and saying.
“I never thought, truly never thought, that we would have such a day. My order: gather our soldiers and retreat immediately!”
“Ah? We’re retreating?”
Everyone present was stunned upon hearing General Auroris’s words.
If they retreated now, the Water Snake Legion and the Transit Star would be completely finished.
“There’s no chance of victory. The Transit Star definitely won’t hold out until the Rock Corps arrives. If we don’t retreat now, we’ll be caught in a pincer movement, and even we will die here. Such a sacrifice has no meaning.”
General Auroris said very rationally.
“Understood.”
Everyone responded upon hearing General Auroris’s words.
As General Auroris’s order was given, the soldiers of the Thirteenth Corps who were participating in the battle all began to withdraw.
General Auroris simultaneously issued an iron-blooded order, commanding the remaining Water Snake Legion to push forward.
Soon, all the soldiers of the Phantom Legion returned to the Level 5 Battleship · Ghost Shadow.
After the Level 5 Battleship · Ghost Shadow completed its recovery, it unhesitatingly turned its bow, activated stealth mode, and fled the battlefield at full speed.
Not long after the Ghost Shadow fled, the Water Snake Legion immediately realized they had been sold out.
In the public communication channel, terrified voices rang out.
“Brothers, the Imperial Army has run away!”
“We’ve been sold out, run!”
“Stop fighting!”
The Water Snake Legion forces, who had been resisting, all scattered and fled desperately.
Inside the Transit Star · Base City Central Control Room.
“Sir, the Federation forces are surrounding us.”
Deputy Officer Bombardier swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
“Damn it! Sink down quickly!”
Pisa In issued the command with anger and shock!
Operators quickly entered commands one by one.
The entire gigantic, tower-like Central Control Tower began to shake violently, and the hardened metal floor cracked open.
The entire Central Control Tower began to slowly sink.
At this time, Su Ming and the others piloted their mechas, quickly charging towards the Central Control Tower.
Suddenly, Rhine pointed to the center and shouted in shock.
“Damn it, Squad Leader, look!”
Su Ming looked at the Central Control Tower sinking little by little, and shouted with a slight change in expression.
“Not good, they’re sinking to take refuge.”
“Kill!”
Kaff shouted, suppressing his anger.
Su Ming and the others desperately charged forward, but when they reached the sinking central control room.
Click!
The cracked metal floor had already merged.
“This is a bit troublesome. These guys actually sank down and hid. A direct assault probably won’t work well either.”
Su Ming said with a deep frown.
At this moment, Kaf snorted coldly, directly adjusted his communication device, and sent a communication request to Pisa In and the others.
Inside the central control room.
Deputy Officer Bombardier looked at the pop-up communication request, turned his head to look at Pisa In, and asked.
“Sir, the enemy has sent a communication request. Should we accept it?”
Upon hearing this, Pisa In’s heart jolted. He remained silent for a long time before speaking with a trembling voice.
“Accept it.”
Deputy Officer Bombardier accepted the communication. At this moment, Colonel Kaf spoke coldly.
“I am Colonel Kaf of the Thirteenth Corps of the Federation. I now order you to surrender immediately. The Imperial Army has been defeated, and you have no chance of winning. And don’t think you’re safe just by hiding underground. If you don’t surrender, I’ll directly bring a Level 5 Battleship over and wipe out this base city along with all of you!”
Bombardier and the others shivered as they looked at Pisa In after hearing Kaf’s words.
Pisa In’s face turned ashen upon hearing this. It was clear he couldn’t hold on. He sighed helplessly and replied.
“Sigh, we surrender!”
—
Inside the Hams Planetary Fortress · Central Control Room.
Teddyra watched the presented image in despair, only to see the Tyrant Apostle grasping the head of the Fourth Generation Mecha · Corvus Mecha with its left claw and suddenly squeezing!
Click!
The Corvus Mecha’s head was instantly crushed.
Immediately after, the Tyrant Apostle’s right claw directly pierced through the mecha’s chest, exiting from its back.
Teddyra immediately slumped onto the command chair. His confidant, Adesu, had just been killed like that.
At this moment, a subordinate beside him reported in extreme panic.
“Lord Teddyra, the Federation’s forces have already broken into the fortress and are heading towards the central control room.”
Teddyra came back to his senses upon hearing this and asked.
“Where is Hors?”
“Unknown. The signal connection has been lost. Perhaps…”
“You mean he’s finished too?”
“Yes.”
The subordinates present replied in despair.
Upon hearing the subordinate’s report, Teddyra slumped powerlessly onto his throne, muttering in a low voice.
“It’s over, it’s all over.”
“Sir…”
“Forget it. Having them buried with me is enough. For the Emperor, activate the self-destruct device!”
Teddyra raised his powerless hand and waved, issuing the command.
The subordinates present, upon hearing Teddyra’s words, all looked ashen, but they still tremblingly entered the commands.
Immediately, black prompt boxes popped up one after another.
“Activating Hams Planetary Fortress self-destruct program!”
“Please verify authorization!”
Teddyra walked forward and pressed his hand on the identification device.
“Identifying!”
“Authorization verified!”
“Hams Planetary Fortress self-destruct program activated.”
“Starting 60-second countdown!”
The entire central control room immediately flashed red lights, and piercing alarms continuously sounded.
On the huge operation screen, countdown numbers began to appear.
Teddyra watched the constantly ticking countdown numbers, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
When the countdown entered the last 5 seconds.
Teddyra roared somewhat maniacally.
“All of you, be buried with me!”
“4, 3, 2, 1”
At this moment, the countdown completely reached zero.
However, the explosion did not arrive as expected.
Celes suddenly appeared on the virtual image operation screen and made a face at Teddyra.
“La la, just kidding with you!”
“You…”
Teddyra looked at the scene before him, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, completely frozen in place.
The other officers present were also dumbfounded.
Just then, with a click, all the previously sealed metal doors automatically opened.
The Purple-haired girl walked in with Lieutenant General Feilong and the others.
“Don’t move!”
Soldiers clad in individual armor raised their beam guns and aimed them at Teddyra and the others.
At this moment, all the hidden weapon systems within the central control room also activated, their dark muzzles all aimed at Teddyra and the others.
Teddyra looked at this scene and was utterly despairing.
At this point, numerous soldiers rushed forward and roughly apprehended Teddyra and the others.
Then, Artificial Intelligence – Ceres spoke.
“All weapon systems of Hams Fortress have been shut down. Isolation devices activated, locking down all hostile personnel in the fortress.”
“Very good, the battle here is over. The rest is cleanup work. How is the situation on the Transfer Star battlefield?”
The Purple-haired girl said indifferently.
“The latest feedback indicates that the battle on the Transfer Star has ended. Major General Vickers and his team have achieved victory.”
Ceres directly replied.
Upon hearing Celes’s words, the Purple-haired girl’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. She hadn’t expected Vickers and his team to actually win.
“How is that possible? Didn’t the enemy have a lot of reinforcements coming? And Vickers and his team actually won? Do those new recruits have such strong combat power? Or is it that the enemy is simply too weak?”
Lieutenant General Feilong said, extremely shocked.
According to the original plan, Vickers and his team were only responsible for containment. Once they took Hams Planetary Fortress, they would naturally rush over to provide support.
But they actually won? This completely exceeded his expectations.
“I’m not sure about that. If you want to know the specific situation, you need to ask Major General Vickers and his team.”
Celes replied with a smile.
At this moment, the Purple-haired girl spoke.
“Send a congratulatory message to Vickers and his team, ordering them to immediately clear out the remaining enemies, quickly clean up the battlefield, and collect all supplies!”
“What about the prisoners?”
Lieutenant General Feilong asked.
“All Imperial Army prisoners are to be sent to Star Radiance Fortress and locked up. For Neutral Countries prisoners, only officers. The rest are worthless and will only drag us down.”
The Purple-haired girl gave the order expressionlessly.
“Understood!”
Lieutenant General Feilong immediately responded.
—
Blood Prism Fortress.
Inside the majestic and luxurious palace hall.
Legion Commander Aus sat on his throne, holding a cup of crimson wine in his right hand, and with his left hand, he adjusted the miniature star map of the Donao Star Sea displayed before him, a fervent expression on his face.
This Donao Star Sea would become his fiefdom in the future; he would be the master of this star sea.
Thinking of this, Aus said in a very good mood.
“Let’s have a toast!”
“Since Legion Commander Aus has spoken, then I’ll drink first as a sign of respect!”
Ouluo smiled, raised her wine glass, and drained it.
“Good, that’s refreshing!”
Aus laughed heartily.
But just then, the door was pushed open again, and the music abruptly stopped.
Swish!
Ouluo and the others’ gazes all converged on the open door, only to see the messenger rushing in.
Aus saw this scene, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. However, he didn’t flare up, but instead looked at the rushing messenger.
The messenger reported nervously.
“Lord Aus, we just received an urgent battle report from General Olauris. The Slok Star Sea has fallen!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
“Say that again!”
Legion Commander Mottley angrily threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground!
Crack!
The entire wine glass shattered into pieces.
“The Slok Star Sea has completely fallen. The Federation has captured Hams Planetary Fortress and the Transfer Star. The Black Crow Legion, Water Snake Legion, and the Gray Gun Legion that came to reinforce them have all been defeated. The enemy’s strength is too great.”
The messenger reported tremblingly.
Legion Commander Mottley, upon hearing this, looked angrily at Aus and said.
“Aus, it’s all because you wouldn’t let me go back to support. Now look what happened, Hams Planetary Fortress has fallen, and my garrisoned troops are all gone.”
A full one-third of his troop formation was annihilated. The entire Black Crow Legion was equivalent to losing an arm and a leg.
“Mottley, calm down! Lord Aus didn’t want this to happen either. Who could have imagined that the newly formed Thirteenth Corps of the Federation would have such combat power!”
Ouluo quickly tried to persuade him.
“‘Didn’t imagine it’ and that’s it? Now what? Our supply line has been cut!”
“Don’t worry, we’re discussing a solution.”
“What’s there to discuss? I’ll lead my troops to take it back right now!”
Legion Commander Mottley replied angrily.
Just as Legion Commander Mottley was about to leave, Aus directly smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
Crack!
Accompanied by the crisp sound, the entire hall instantly fell silent.
Legion Commander Mottley also stiffened immediately. He turned his head and looked at Aus with a gloomy face, asking.
“Aus, what do you mean?”
“You are not allowed to go!”
Aus warned coldly.
“Are you crazy? That’s our supply line.”
“I said you’re not allowed to go, and you’re not allowed to go. The reason the Federation attacked the Slok Star Sea was to force us to send reinforcements, wasn’t it? If you send reinforcements now, won’t that play right into their hands? Then everything we’ve done before would become a joke, and we’d lose everything in the end?”
“Do you think I want to send reinforcements?! The problem is that the Slok Star Sea is lost, and our supply line has been cut. Without a supply line, how can so many legions here survive?”
Mottley replied through gritted teeth.
“Hmph, who told you that you can’t survive without a supply line? There are so many Neutral Countries in the Donao Star Sea, aren’t they our supplies?”
Aus said with a brutal expression.
“You mean to use the Neutral Countries as supplies?”
Ouluo’s eyes lit up as she replied.
“Exactly. We’ll just stay here and see who can outlast whom?”
“What if the other side attacks from two fronts?”
“I’m waiting for them to attack. With so many of our troops here, if they dare to attack us, it will be their death day!”
Aus said with a ferocious expression.
In fact, the fall of the Slok Star Sea also infuriated Aus greatly.
This almost ruined the grand plan he had so painstakingly laid out, and the fall of the Slok Star Sea would also lead to heavy losses for the Empire.
One must know that most of the supplies the Empire plundered from the various Neutral Countries in the Donao Star Sea had to be transshipped through Hams Planetary Fortress.
Moreover, there were large quantities of supplies stored within Hams Planetary Fortress.
Now that the Federation had swept it all up, the loss amounted to an astronomical figure.
However, even with such heavy losses, Aus could only swallow his pride now and absolutely could not deploy troops to reinforce, otherwise everything would truly be over.
One must know that they had paid an extremely high price to lure and trap this Federation force, and Blood Prism Fortress itself had suffered no small damage.
“That’s a great idea.”
Ouluo replied with a smile.
“So we’ll just sit here and wait?”
Mottley still replied somewhat unwillingly, after all, it was his legion that had died, and Hams Planetary Fortress that was lost was also his.
“Mottley, if your foolish actions cause the Emperor’s plan to fail, I don’t need to tell you how severe the consequences will be, do I?”
Aus directly brought up the Emperor and warned him coldly.
Mottley’s face changed dramatically upon hearing Aus’s words, and he said through gritted teeth.
“Fine! Fine! I’ll do as you say. Things better unfold as you say, otherwise don’t blame me for complaining about you to the Emperor afterwards!”
“Hmph, suit yourself!”
Aus didn’t care at all.
