Chapter 340: History Repeats (5-in-1)

At this moment, Ye Hai saw the three of them, Commander Su Ming, and greeted them with a smile.

“Commander Su Ming, you’re here!”

Currifa and the others immediately turned to look at the three of them, Commander Su Ming, and enthusiastically called out,

“Come, sit over here!”

“Alright!”

The three of them, Commander Su Ming, didn’t decline and walked over to sit beside them.

At this moment, Currifa leaned over and chatted,

“Do you think our chances of winning are high this time?”

“I think since the Legion Commander dares to do this, the chances of winning should be quite high.”

Commander Su Ming thought for a moment and replied.

“I think so too.”

“If we succeed this time, we’ll really go down in history!”

Currifa and the others became increasingly excited the more they thought about it; this was the best opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came, and Currifa and the others turned their heads to look, only to see Major General Vickers walking into the combat room.

The originally bustling combat room immediately fell silent.

Major General Vickers walked directly to the old-fashioned celestial projector and waved his hand.

Click!

The door of the combat room closed.

Major General Vickers scanned everyone, his expression grave as he spoke,

“I won’t waste any time; I will now begin to arrange the specific combat plan!”

“Yes!”

Officer Kafu and the others replied solemnly.

Vickers opened the celestial projector, projecting a sea of stars, and said calmly,

“Our operation is divided into two parts. The first part is to dismantle the defense zone of Caleti Starry Sky, which is mainly composed of thirteen cone-shaped fortresses.”

Commander Su Ming looked closely; these cone-shaped fortresses were enormous. Their height reached over a thousand meters, and the central cone-shaped fortress was even tens of thousands of meters tall.

At this moment, Vickers continued,

“These cone-shaped fortresses are called Nightmare Towers, and their firepower is extremely strong. This defense zone is guarded by the Imperial Army’s Dream Nightmare Corps veteran, Burda, with a standing force of about fifty thousand. However, it should have decreased now, but by how much is unclear. The second part of the operation is to intercept the incoming support troops!”

“Since our time is limited, and to achieve a quick victory, I have decided to dispatch the 21-25 Mecha teams to intercept the subsequent support, and then concentrate all remaining forces to assault the Caleti Starry Sky Defense Zone. Any objections?”

Vickers announced decisively.

“None!”

Commander Su Ming and the others replied with a murderous aura.

“Then the combat meeting ends here; you may all leave!”

Vickers didn’t say much more.

Upon hearing this, Commander Su Ming and the others rose and left.

In the Tsar’s hangar.

Rows of Mecha were fixed on both sides, stretching as far as the eye could see, a truly spectacular sight.

Commander Su Ming, Hugh Eun, and Hegas rushed back.

The entire hangar was filled with working personnel, operating Iron Head and maintenance machinery, performing final resupplies for the Iron Guard Mech about to go into battle.

Click!

One by one, spare magazines were loaded into the Iron Guard Mech’s body.

The hangar’s broadcast continuously sounded.

“Attention all personnel, the Star Radiance Fortress will end its superluminal flight in forty minutes, and the Tsar will detach from the fortress. Please complete all operations and evacuate the work area within 30 minutes.”

“Repeat.”

The three of them, Commander Su Ming, then dispersed, heading towards their respective Mecha.

Before long, Commander Su Ming successfully boarded the Slayer Mecha.

At this moment, Rhine’s voice sounded in the communication channel.

“Squad leader, where are we attacking the defense line?”

“Don’t even think about it. We’re fighting on the flank, the main battlefield isn’t for us.”

“Ah, I thought I could fight alongside the fortress.”

“Alright, the flank battlefield will be enough for us to handle. Be careful during this battle, and don’t try to be a hero!”

Commander Su Ming instructed Rhine and the others.

“Alright!”

Rhine replied seriously.

Dark Star Empire · Bergs Lun Defense Line

Deep within Cardle Fortress.

In the dim, silent metal corridor, a low rustling sound echoed, growing from distant to near, very conspicuous.

At this moment, a man appeared in the corridor, dressed in a thick black robe, emaciated and gaunt, his shriveled skin almost clinging to his bones. With black eyes and a sallow face, he moved like a walking corpse.

This man was none other than the Deputy Legion Commander Nowis of the Dream Nightmare Corps, who guarded Cardle Fortress.

Nowis walked step by step to the end, where a black metal door came into view.

He slowly extended his shriveled hand and pressed it against the metal door!

Click!

The entire metal door slowly opened.

Nowis stepped through the door and entered a huge secret room.

On both sides of the secret room were transparent cuboid cages.

These cuboid cages held various creatures: strange beings with deformed heads and bodies covered in hair-like tentacles; humanoid creatures covered in scales with eyes like sapphires; and even octopus-shaped Kirami could be seen. In the innermost part, there was also a giant grid container, holding a gigantic insect with twelve limbs, a massive head resembling a cockroach, and an ugly mouth constantly flicking a red tongue.

At this moment, in a transparent cuboid cage at the bottom center of the left side, a completely naked girl with cyan hair, blue skin, and long ears was curled up inside.

Just then, the girl seemed to sense something and instinctively raised her head.

Instantly, a pair of terrifying black eyes pressed against the transparent glass, staring at her.

“Ah!”

The girl recoiled in terror.

“Oh, still not dead.”

Nowis looked at the startled girl and slowly stood up.

He continued to walk forward, and along the way, the imprisoned creatures bared their teeth at him and stuck out their tongues.

However, Nowis was completely unmoved; he walked directly to the cage holding the giant insect.

“Hiss!”

The gigantic insect suddenly slammed its head against the transparent glass.

Nowis watched this scene, his lips moving as he said,

“Oh, my little darling is hungry, I’ll feed you now.”

Nowis tapped a few buttons on his wristband.

Click!

The glass on the left side of the giant insect’s container opened up gaps, connecting it to the adjacent creature cages.

At this moment, hungry creatures crawled in, only to be directly entangled by the insect’s tongue, pulled into its mouth, chewed up, and swallowed into its belly.

“Hehe!”

Nowis watched the giant insect feed, a smile appearing on his gaunt face.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the fortress.

Nowis listened to the alarm, tilting his head, a bewildered expression on his face, and murmured to himself,

“This sound, so unfamiliar, so beautiful!”

At this moment, a rapid sound of footsteps came, and a man wearing Third Generation exoskeleton armor, with pale skin and a panicked expression, rushed in holding a tablet.

“Lord Nowis, something has happened.”

“What happened?”

Nowis slowly turned to look at Adjutant Casson and asked hoarsely.

“The large Curvature Interference Device inside the fortress has been triggered.”

Adjutant Casson said nervously.

“Who is it, with such audacity? For over three hundred years, no one has dared to do this.”

Nowis asked unhurriedly.

“Unclear. I will connect you to the central control room now. You can ask General Burtler.”

Casson picked up the tablet, performed some operations on the screen, and projected a virtual interface.

Within the virtual interface, a strong-bodied man with a chiseled face and fierce eyes appeared.

He reported to Nowis with a solemn expression,

“Lord Nowis, the situation is very bad! We have scanned the Federation’s Star Radiance Fortress!”

“Star Radiance Fortress? Are you sure it’s the Star Radiance Fortress?”

“One hundred percent sure!”

“Oh, interesting.”

Nowis heard Burtler’s reply and said hoarsely.

“Lord, what should we do now? It’s the Federation’s Star Radiance Fortress that has arrived.”

Burtler asked anxiously.

“Connect me to Commander Hodeska.”

“Yes!”

General Burtler quickly replied.

In the magnificent hall of Starfall Planetary Fortress.

Hodeska sat on the throne, Sercee stood respectfully beside him, while Teddyra stood in front of Hodeska, praising him profusely.

“Lord Hodeska, you are truly formidable. With just a slight move, those Federation guys fled in a panic.”

“Hmph, Teddyra, flattering me here is useless. You lost Hams Planetary Fortress; you’d better think about how to explain it to the Emperor.”

Hodeska didn’t fall for Teddyra’s flattery at all.

Teddyra’s expression stiffened upon hearing Hodeska’s words.

Just then, an urgent communication image suddenly appeared before Hodeska.

“Commander.”

Nowis spoke hoarsely.

“Nowis, what is it?”

Hodeska’s expression darkened as he looked at Nowis and asked.

“The Federation’s Star Radiance Fortress is heading towards my defense line.”

Nowis spoke unhurriedly.

“What did you say? The Federation’s Star Radiance Fortress appeared at your defense line?”

Hodeska slammed the armrest in fury and stood up directly.

“That’s right.”

Nowis replied hoarsely.

“No way, she really came? Could what she said be true?”

Teddyra was completely dumbfounded.

“You idiot, you fell for their trick!”

Hodeska suddenly realized and cursed at Teddyra.

It was clear that the opponent’s objective from the very beginning was the Empire’s defense line. The opponent taking Slok Star Sea and letting Teddyra return to report were all interconnected traps.

The purpose was to weaken the forces within the defense line.

Once the Imperial defense line was truly breached by the Federation’s forces, it would not only be a great humiliation, but the Dark Star Empire would be pulled down from its pedestal, and the country would definitely be in turmoil.

After being scolded by Hodeska, Teddyra immediately reacted, his entire face turning incredibly pale, and he muttered to himself,

“It’s over!”

Sercee, standing beside him, reminded him with a grave expression,

“Lord Hodeska, the Federation’s Star Radiance Fortress appearing here so suddenly means they must be well-prepared.”

Commander Hodeska suppressed the anger in his heart and issued an order to Nowis.

“Nowis, don’t confront the Federation head-on. Hold your ground with all your might! Hold on for me; I will lead reinforcements there as quickly as possible!”

“Yes.”

Nowis replied hoarsely, then turned off the communication device.

Hodeska turned to look at Teddyra, gritting his teeth as he questioned,

“Teddyra, tell me truthfully, who is the enemy Commander?”

“It’s a woman with light purple hair and a silver metal mask. I don’t know her, and she’s not in any of the Empire’s databases.”

Teddyra quickly explained.

“Are you sure?”

“I swear, I’m not lying.”

“This is troublesome. An untraceable person is the most difficult to deal with!”

Hodeska’s face grew even gloomier after hearing Teddyra’s words.

“Lord, what should we do now?”

Sercee asked with a tense expression.

“Immediately assemble the troops!”

Hodeska turned to Sercee and issued the order.

“Yes!”

Sercee replied with a murderous aura.

Inside Cardle Fortress · Secret Room.

Nowis looked at the interrupted communication image, revealing a chilling smile.

“Interesting, truly too interesting. Casson, prepare to attack!”

Casson’s eyes widened upon hearing Nowis’s words, and he stammered a reminder,

“Lord Nowis, Commander Hodeska told us to hold our ground?”

Nowis heard Casson’s words, leaned his face directly towards Casson’s, almost touching his face, looking at him with chilling eyes, and said nervously,

“I’ve been guarding here for one hundred and fifty-two years! One hundred and fifty-two whole years! You tell me to hold my ground? Say it again?”

Casson’s legs trembled violently. He desperately wanted to advise Nowis, but his intuition told him that if he uttered another word, Nowis would surely turn him into a specimen.

So Casson replied, trembling, “Sir, you are right!”

“Haha!”

Nowis let out a piercing laugh upon hearing Casson’s words.

He then walked directly to the innermost part of the secret chamber, where a smooth, flat metal wall came into view.

Nowis extended both hands and pressed them against the smooth metal wall.

Countless circuits on the entire wall lit up.

Click!

With a heavy sound, the smooth metal wall cracked open.

A large amount of black mist immediately seeped out from the crack.

Nowis walked inside, arriving at a giant hibernation vault, where cylindrical hibernation pods were arranged.

Inside each black, mist-shrouded pod, an Imperial soldier lay dormant.

Nowis revealed a twisted expression and shouted madly, “Awaken, my soldiers! I have prepared a grand feast for your revelry!”

Immediately, all the black mist in the hibernation vault gradually dissipated, and the Imperial soldiers inside the hibernation pods opened their eyes, revealing hollow, black eyes.

In the vast starry sky.

The Star Radiance Fortress completely emerged from Subspace.

In the central control room.

The Purple-haired girl sat in the command chair, with images captured by optical devices displayed before her.

The images showed a war fortress with a diameter of one thousand kilometers, entirely made of metal, shaped like a ring, and with a giant statue of the Emperor standing upright at its head.

This war fortress was the Cardle Fortress, the strategic objective of this mission. Only by destroying the Curvature Interference Device inside this fortress could they pass through this star sea.

At this moment, Major General Qiong En calmly reported, “Arrived at the Cardle Defense Zone. Cardle Fortress scanned!”

“Operation plan commenced. Open Docking Bay 1. Level 5 Mothership · Tsar is commencing undocking.”

“Fleet deployment expected to be completed in fifteen minutes.”

A huge Channel opened on the side of the Star Radiance Fortress, and the bow of the Tsar slowly sailed out.

After the Tsar detached from the Star Radiance Fortress, the Level 5 Battleship · liet yang and silver moon also slowly sailed out.

In addition, several Level 4 Battleships were also detaching from the fortress.

Soon, Major General Qiong En reported, “Legion Commander, fleet detachment complete.”

Upon hearing this, the Purple-haired girl issued a stern command, “Transmit my order: commence attack on the Cardle Defense Zone!”

“Yes!”

Major General Qiong En replied in a deep voice.

The Star Radiance Fortress began to slowly move towards the Cardle Defense Zone.

Inside the Tsar Mothership · Hangar.

The broadcast voice continuously sounded.

“Attention all combat personnel, the Tsar has detached from the Star Radiance Fortress.”

“The Tsar fleet is en route to the Kalaiti Star Defense Zone.”

Commander Su Ming and others sat calmly in their Mecha cockpits, awaiting orders.

In the central control room.

Major General Vickers sat in the command chair, asking in a deep voice, “How long until we reach the combat zone?”

Zhou Yuelin, Lieutenant quickly reported, “Major General Vickers, we are expected to arrive at the combat zone in seventeen minutes and thirty-two seconds, and then begin releasing the Mecha fleet.”

“Very good!”

Major General Vickers nodded slightly, quietly watching the countdown.

Soon, the operation screen displayed the countdown reaching zero, and Zhou Yuelin respectfully reported, “Major General Vickers, we have arrived at the combat zone.”

“Combat commencing. Activate all communications, connect all participating units.”

Major General Vickers immediately issued the order.

“Yes!”

“Establishing all communications.”

Swish!

On the large operation screen, individual portrait frames appeared. The higher the rank, the closer the portrait was to the front. The lowest-ranking portraits were those of Mecha squad leaders.

At the same time, below each portrait was a status monitor, and currently, everyone’s status showed as good.

Although there were only so many portraits, the connected public communication included everyone, including the combat soldiers; everyone could speak in this communication channel.

At this moment, steady voices sounded in the communication channel.

“First Regiment ready!”

“Second Regiment ready!”

“Open all exit ports, all units deploy!”

Major General Vickers directly issued the order.

Inside the hangar!

Beep beep~

Accompanied by continuous piercing alert sounds.

Click! Click!

One by one, the exit ports opened, and the row of indicator lights on the wall turned from red to green.

Swish! Swish!

Officer Kafu and others controlled their Mecha, leading their subordinates to the exit ports and rushing out at high speed.

At this moment, Commander Su Ming issued an order to Rhine and the others, “Everyone follow me, move out!”

“Yes!”

Rhine and the others responded in unison.

Commander Su Ming piloted the Slayer Mecha to Exit Port 6.

Inside the exit passage, a row of yellow indicator lights instantly turned green.

Commander Su Ming was the first to enter the exit passage, rushing out along the passage at high speed.

Swish!

In an instant, Commander Su Ming piloted his Mecha out of the Tsar, appearing in the vast starry sky.

He turned his head to look back at the Tsar; countless Mecha continuously swarmed out like a beehive.

At this moment, Major Chen Ying’s excited voice sounded in the communication channel.

“It’s finally starting!”

“This time, we must smash the Imperial Army’s dog heads and thoroughly extinguish their arrogant spirits!”

Lieutenant Colonel Aragon also chimed in.

Commander Su Ming looked at the communication channel interface displayed on his operation screen, seeing numerous soldiers continuously typing and communicating.

“So nervous!”

“It feels like a dream.”

“I never thought that one day we would be at the Dark Star Empire’s defense line. This is truly awesome.”

Although this general communication channel was open to everyone, the soldiers and non-commissioned officers dared not speak aloud, only communicating by typing. All those speaking were officers of colonel rank or higher.

Commander Su Ming looked at these scrolling comments and issued an order to Rhine and the others, “Form up in formation!”

“Yes!”

Rhine and the others responded in unison.

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Aragon suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Holy cow, a Four-Generation Mecha? When did we get another Four-Generation Mecha?”

“Really? Who is this?”

Ye Hai and others also spoke in surprise.

“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s Commander Su Ming. Didn’t you hear about it before?”

Hegas spoke directly.

“I haven’t been paying much attention recently. I didn’t expect Commander Su Ming to have quietly switched to a Four-Generation Mecha.”

Currifa replied in surprise.

“Ahem, I just switched not long ago.”

Commander Su Ming replied with a slight awkwardness.

“Congratulations, junior!”

At this moment, Officer Kafu congratulated Commander Su Ming in the communication channel.

Although he wasn’t very familiar with Commander Su Ming, being from the same Royal Court Academy, Officer Kafu had a good impression of Commander Su Ming; it was just that his personality wasn’t very sociable.

“Thank you.”

Commander Su Ming replied politely.

At this moment, on the public communication channel interface, messages continuously popped up.

“Did I hear that right? Commander Su Ming of the Third Regiment switched to a Four-Generation Mecha?”

“You’re outdated! Our Commander not only switched to a Four-Generation Mecha, he even used Light Speed ​​Flash!”

“Amazing!”

At this moment, Currifa also spoke to Commander Su Ming in the communication channel.

“Commander Su Ming, you’ve switched to a Four-Generation Mecha. Your strength must have advanced by leaps and bounds, right?”

“It’s alright!”

Commander Su Ming replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“Don’t be modest. When you were piloting a Third Generation Mecha, you already defeated an Imperial Army’s Four-Generation Mecha. Now that you’ve switched to a Four-Generation Mecha, you’ll definitely be even more formidable. When the fighting starts, don’t be lazy, you must act as a main force!”

“Currifa is right. When the fighting starts, you and Officer Kafu must act as main forces.”

Major Chen Ying also chimed in.

“No problem.”

Commander Su Ming readily agreed. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and he never feared or shied away from it.

Soon, all Mecha had deployed, forming square formations in front of the Tsar and other warships, entering a standby state.

However, to everyone’s surprise, in the distant Kalaiti Star Defense Zone.

The thirteen Nightmare Towers showed no movement; the entire starry sky was eerily quiet, making everyone feel a bit uneasy.

In the public communication channel.

Major Chen Ying and others exchanged confused remarks.

“What are these Imperial Army guys up to? Are they ignoring us?”

“Something feels off.”

Inside the Tsar’s central control room.

Colonel Zhou Quan reported to Major General Vickers with a somewhat solemn expression, “General, our Mecha squadron has fully deployed and formed up, but the enemy shows no movement at all.”

“Hmph, playing tricks. Transmit my order: all units advance!”

Major General Vickers wasn’t buying it.

He had only learned about their surprise attack on the Imperial Army’s defense line a few hours prior; it was impossible for the news to have leaked. Therefore, the Imperial Army wouldn’t have had time to set any traps, so in his eyes, the enemy was just feigning mystery.

“Yes!”

Colonel Zhou Quan immediately responded.

As the order was given, the Tsar Mothership led the fleet forward, with the five Mecha regiments responsible for interception flying out at high speed.

At this very moment, the surfaces of the thirteen previously silent Nightmare Towers lit up with glowing patterns.

Then, a truly astonishing scene unfolded: one by one, the Nightmare Towers split open like flower buds, extending mechanical petals.

These mechanical petals were densely covered with Mecha and starfighters.

Swish! Swish!

These Mecha and starfighters all activated, flying out like a swarm of moths.

Immediately after, these Mecha and starfighters formed formations in front of the defensive starry sky.

Commander Su Ming carefully observed these Imperial Army Mecha. These Imperial soldiers were using the latest Second Generation Mecha · Beast Tooth, and the captain-level soldiers were using Third Generation Mecha · Barbarian Beast.

Overall, this unit was very elite, incomparable to those from Neutral Countries. However, their numbers were a bit small, with only 25,000 Mecha and 10,000 starfighters.

At this moment, three streams of light flew to the very front of the formation.

Two of these three figures were Fourth Generation Mecha · Raging Beast, each with a red star painted on their shoulders.

The figure in the middle was a custom-made Fourth Generation Mecha · Scarlet Boar, 32 meters tall, entirely covered in black metal armor, wielding a gray chain gun with its tail locked to the Mecha’s right arm, a particle beam cannon mounted on its left shoulder, and a pair of gray wings embedded in its back, adorned with a red moon emblem.

At this moment, Commander Su Ming’s operation screen displayed identification data.

The pilot of the Raging Beast Mecha on the left was Colonel Dokou of the Dream Nightmare Corps, and the pilot of the Raging Beast Mecha on the right was Colonel Ruinuo of the Dream Nightmare Corps.

As for the pilot of the Scarlet Boar Mecha, it was Major General Burda, a veteran of the Dream Nightmare Corps.

At this moment, a voice filled with emotion sounded in the public communication channel.

“I am General Burda of the Dream Nightmare Corps, a fourth-year graduate of the Royal Court Academy. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see the Federal forces appear here. It is truly an honor.”

“I am Deputy Legion Commander Vickers of the Thirteenth Corps of the Federal Government!”

Major General Vickers replied in a deep voice.

“General Vickers, I wonder if you are a graduate of the Royal Court Academy?”

“No.”

“That’s truly a pity. I wonder if anyone present is a student of the Royal Court Academy?”

Burda replied with some regret.

“I am Officer Kafu, a fourth-year student of the Royal Court Academy. Many of us here are from the Royal Court Academy. What can we do for you, senior?”

Officer Kafu asked in a deep voice.

“Nothing much, just wanted to see if there were any juniors. It’s been many years since I sparred with you all, and I’ve always wanted to. Today, it seems my wish can be fulfilled.”

Burda replied with great emotion.

“No problem, but we won’t hold back.”

Officer Kafu replied very straightforwardly.

“Naturally!”

Burda replied with a smile.

At this moment, Major General Vickers also issued a cold command.

“Stop talking nonsense to him, all units attack!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded solemnly upon hearing Major General Vickers’ words.

As Major General Vickers’ order was given, the Tsar, liet yang, and other ships simultaneously opened their dense firing ports!

Whoosh!

Countless missiles poured out.

At this moment, the Nightmare Towers moved, simultaneously turning their direction towards the Federal fleet.

Then, the petals split open into firing ports, launching a large number of intercepting missiles, while the central spire flickered with violent energy.

Terrifying beams of light swept across.

The pouring missiles were blown up in swathes!

Boom!

Countless fireworks bloomed!

At this time, the main guns of the Tsar and other ships lit up, beginning to accelerate their charging.

Seeing this, Burda led the mecha formation forward.

Commander Su Ming spoke to Rhine with a grave expression.

“Rhine, the team is yours!”

“No problem!”

Rhine replied seriously.

Immediately after, Commander Su Ming inquired of Officer Kafu in the communication channel.

“Officer Kafu, the enemy has three Four-Generation Mecha. Do you want to deal with Burda, or the other two standard Four-Generation Mecha?”

Kaff replied to Su Ming, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

“Leave Burda, the most difficult one, to me. You deal with the other two Four-Generation Mecha. If you can’t defeat them, don’t push yourself too hard; I’ll finish my battle as quickly as possible and come support you!”

“Alright!”

Commander Su Ming responded without hesitation.

“Let’s go!”

Kaff controlled the Shadow Killer, charging directly towards Burda.

Commander Su Ming looked up and controlled the Slayer, attacking the two Raging Beast mecha at extreme speed.

Cardle Fortress Defense Zone.

The massive Star Radiance Fortress advanced like a fierce beast.

Countless firing ports opened, and cannons moved.

Swish swish!

Beams of light and missiles poured out across the sky.

Ships, fortresses, and defensive weapons along the way were destroyed as easily as paper.

Boom boom boom~

Explosions continuously rose.

At this moment, the main gun of the Star Radiance Fortress, an extra-long blue metal cone, flickered with violent blue lightning arcs, its light incredibly dazzling.

Whoosh!

A blue light pillar tore through the dark deep space, sweeping irresistibly towards Cardle Fortress.

At this moment, the Emperor statue of Cardle Fortress lit up.

A huge energy barrier appeared, covering the entire Cardle Fortress.

Boom!

The blue light pillar struck the energy barrier of Cardle Fortress, and a blue sun exploded with a roar.

Inside the Star Radiance Fortress Central Control Room.

Major General Qiong En reported with a furrowed brow.

“The main gun attack was blocked.”

“The Imperial Army’s defense line is indeed not to be underestimated. Even at its weak points, it seems difficult to destroy,” Lieutenant General Feilong said, finding it troublesome.

“It doesn’t matter.”

The Purple-haired girl replied without any emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, the scanning screen showed dense red dots, and the Operator reported immediately.

“Report: The enemy has begun deploying mobile units.”

The Purple-haired girl waved her hand, and an optical image immediately appeared.

Countless exit points opened from Cardle Fortress, and a massive force of mecha and interstellar fighters poured out, numbering as many as 100,000.

Of course, this troop count was already very small; if they hadn’t been transferred, the number would have at least doubled.

The majority of the mecha deployed were new Second Generation Mecha · Beast Tooth, in addition to three hundred Third Generation Mecha · Barbarian Beast.

At this moment, in the central area of the many mecha going into battle, a passage opened up.

Whoosh!

A black stream of light rushed out from Cardle Fortress, appearing at the very front of the mecha unit.

This was a Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Dream Devourer, standing over forty meters tall, covered in a black luster, with six emerald-shaped eyes embedded in its head, two pairs of vector auxiliary devices on its waist, four pairs of mechanical auxiliary Light Wing on its back, wielding two black plasma light blades, a twisted nightmare symbol engraved on its right chest, and two red moons, three black moons, five red stars, and seven black stars painted on its shoulders.

Immediately after, ten streams of light shot out from the fortress, appearing behind the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Dream Devourer.

These ten streams of light were all Four-Generation Mecha, among which seven were standard Mecha · Raging Beast, and the remaining three were customized mecha of different models.

Inside the Star Radiance Fortress Command Room.

Major General Qiong En reported with a solemn expression.

“The enemy’s forces have been deployed. Leading them is Vice Legion Commander Nowis of the Dream Nightmare Corps, piloting the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Dream Devourer.”

“Mm.”

The Purple-haired girl responded calmly, without any emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, a communication request popped up.

Major General Qiong En glanced at it, then turned to report to the Purple-haired girl.

“Legion Commander, the enemy has sent a communication request. Should we accept it?”

“Accept.”

The Purple-haired girl replied coldly.

Major General Qiong En then clicked it, and Nowis’s ugly face immediately appeared on the operation screen.

Nowis revealed a neurotic smile and said, “I am Vice Legion Commander Nowis of the Dream Nightmare Corps. After so many years, no one has dared to attack the empire. I’m truly excited. State your name!”

The Purple-haired girl looked at Vice Legion Commander Nowis and replied coldly, “The dead are not worthy of knowing names.”

“Hee hee! Interesting! This is truly too interesting. It’s been so many years since I’ve met such an interesting woman. I’ll capture you, imprison you, and slowly torture you, haha!”

Nowis looked at the Purple-haired girl with fanaticism.

“How dare you! Facing death, yet still speaking so wildly!” Lieutenant General Feilong roared in anger.

“Haha, if you have the ability, come and take my head. I’ll be waiting for you!” Nowis twisted his neck and replied excitedly, then cut off the communication.

Lieutenant General Feilong then said to the Purple-haired girl with a murderous tone.

“Legion Commander, please allow me to go into battle. I will surely bring back Nowis’s head.”

“Go!”

The Purple-haired girl replied coldly.

“Thank you!”

After receiving permission from the Purple-haired girl, Lieutenant General Feilong walked onto a lift platform in the right-side area of the central control room.

Clank!

The entire lift platform sank directly downwards.

Soon after, the Star Radiance Fortress opened its concealed exit points.

Whoosh!

A Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Silver Executioner, standing forty-two meters tall, covered in heavy silver armor, with a heavy particle cannon embedded in its right shoulder, four pairs of mechanical auxiliary wings on its back, wielding a plasma light blade, and two red moons, three black moons, five red stars, and seven black stars painted on its shoulders, rushed out and floated in the starry sky.

Immediately after, the IV Generation Bio Mecha · Red Oni, IV Generation Bio Mecha · Tyrant Apostle, and IV Generation Bio Mecha · Edge Runner rushed out from the fortress and stopped beside Lieutenant General Feilong.

At this moment, Third Generation Mecha · Cyan Wing flew out from within the Star Radiance Fortress. They flew and lined up behind Lieutenant General Feilong, numbering a full two thousand units.

These two thousand Cyan Wing mecha were all subordinate to Lieutenant General Feilong, belonging to his personal guard.

Upon seeing the mecha unit that had appeared, Nowis’s face showed an increasingly excited expression as he shouted, “Kill!”

Both mecha formations simultaneously charged towards each other.

On the other side of the starry battlefield.

Colonel Dokou and Colonel Ruinuo, seeing Commander Su Ming charging towards them, did not underestimate him at all; instead, they were as if facing a formidable enemy.

On one hand, it was because Commander Su Ming’s mecha looked very much like a modified mecha, but the most important reason was that Commander Su Ming’s mecha had a red moon painted on its shoulder.

“Dokou, I’ll be responsible for the frontal engagement; you support me at any time!” Reno said to his companion.

“Alright!”

Dokou replied gravely.

Reno then no longer hesitated, controlling his Raging Beast mecha with full power, bravely charging towards Commander Su Ming, swinging his superalloy double-bladed axe heavily at Commander Su Ming.

Commander Su Ming did not evade or dodge, sweeping his crimson long spear across.

Bang!

The two mecha collided heavily, and a powerful impact swept across.

Instantly, the Raging Beast mecha, known for its strength, was suppressed and forced backward.

Reno also had a look of shock on his face.

He had originally thought that even if the opponent was a modified mecha, there shouldn’t be too much difference in strength, but he didn’t expect such a huge disparity.

However, Commander Su Ming was very satisfied with this result. The reason he chose to go head-to-head was to test the Slayer’s strength. After all, he hadn’t used this mecha in actual combat, and his understanding of its performance was mostly based on parameters.

At this moment, Dokou also controlled his Raging Beast mecha, appearing on Commander Su Ming’s left, and swung an axe with full force at the Slayer.

Commander Su Ming detected Dokou’s attack immediately. He smoothly withdrew his crimson long spear and controlled the Slayer to precisely side-step the attack.

After his attack missed, Dokou suddenly felt a bad premonition and thought, “Oh no!”

The facts proved that his worries were not unfounded. After Commander Su Ming dodged the attack, the crimson long spear in his hand streaked towards Dokou like an afterimage, moving too fast to be seen clearly.

Dokou decisively activated his energy barrier!

Crack!

The crimson long spear pierced the energy barrier, causing the entire energy barrier to twist violently, its strength decreasing significantly.

Dokou quickly controlled his Raging Beast mecha to retreat.

Commander Su Ming did not pursue. His peripheral vision glanced to the other side, only to see Reno controlling his Raging Beast mecha, lowering its beam cannon and firing a shot at him.

Commander Su Ming’s eyes narrowed, and he instantly activated Light Speed ​​Flash, the entire Slayer disappearing from its spot.

“Light Speed ​​Flash, Reno, be careful!” Dokou shouted, his face slightly changed when he saw Commander Su Ming use Light Speed ​​Flash.

Reno steeled his heart and directly activated his energy barrier. Although this would put him at a disadvantage, it was better than being ambushed.

An unexpected scene occurred: Commander Su Ming did not appear near Reno, but instead appeared behind Dokou.

Reno’s face instantly changed dramatically as he shouted, “Dokou, watch your right side!”

Upon hearing Reno’s warning, Dokou felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and immediately controlled his mecha to turn around.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

Commander Su Ming once again thrust his spear into the energy barrier!

Crack!

The energy barrier instantly shattered, and the crimson long spear pierced towards Dokou.

However, it was fortunate that the energy barrier had blocked it for a moment, gaining him a little time to dodge.

Rip!

The crimson long spear grazed the Raging Beast mecha’s chest, leaving a shocking wound.

In his shock and anger, Dokou swung an axe at Commander Su Ming.

Commander Su Ming controlled the Slayer to skillfully retreat and dodge the attack, creating some distance.

At this moment, Reno rushed to Dokou’s side, and both of them stared intently at Commander Su Ming.

They never expected to be forced into such a pathetic state one day; two against one, they had no advantage at all, and were even wounded on the first encounter.

If this continued, they would definitely be finished!

At this time, Commander Su Ming also observed the two with interest. The Imperial Army’s generals were indeed skilled, and their coordination was very good.

If it were one-on-one, he could have severely wounded the opponent long ago.

Of course, one-on-two was not a big problem either; given him some time, he could certainly defeat them one by one.

However, Commander Su Ming didn’t have time to slowly waste here with the two of them, so his gaze fell on Dokou.

He decided to find a way to take down Dokou first; that guy’s energy barrier had already been shattered by him.
