Chapter 157: First Time (Second Update)

Hiva looked at the roaring laughter in the venue, then smiled and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give these future seeds a little more time. I believe they will definitely grow into towering trees, sheltering all of us from wind and rain.”

The audience, seeing Hiva say this, did not say much.

In the starry sky, Begfins immediately discovered the problem and then said in the communication channel, “Junior brothers and sisters, don’t be nervous, don’t panic. It’s normal that you can’t form a perfect queue the first time you do it in space. You just need to spread out as much as possible within the designated area and avoid colliding with each other. It doesn’t matter if the formation looks a bit ugly.”

“That’s right, Begfins is right. You don’t need to have too much psychological pressure.”

“Take your time, it’s normal for the first time.”

Many senior students followed suit, comforting the first-year students.

“Yes, thank you, seniors.”

Many first-year students replied with some emotion, and they all followed Begfins’ instructions.

“Wow, these seniors are so gentle.”

Anqi said with some emotion in the squad communication channel.

At this moment, Rhine directly burst Anqi’s illusion with a single sentence, “Gentle? That’s because it’s just a competition now, and we are students, not soldiers! These seniors are all iron-blooded officers in the military. Once you enlist, you’ll know how fierce they are.”

“Ah?”

Anqi and the other girls were also stunned.

“Rhine is right. The reason why the seniors are gentle is because we are allowed to make mistakes now. Once we enlist, we won’t be allowed to make mistakes. Especially low-level mistakes, because any mistake can lead to oneself or teammates paying with their lives.”

Su Ming strongly agreed with Rhine’s words.

“Understood, so what do we do now? We can’t keep the formation in order.”

Anqi and the other girls replied with some panic.

Su Ming then operated his mech, quickly generating a series of coordinates and sending them to everyone in the team, then issuing a command.

“You input the coordinates I sent you into the auxiliary system. The auxiliary system will generate a traction beam to guide you to the designated position!”

“Understood!”

Qin Feng and the others all responded. They followed Su Ming’s request, input the specified coordinates, and then flew over.

Soon, Su Ming’s team successfully formed a neat formation.

At this time, the other first-year students were also gradually forming their formations. Although they were not perfectly aligned and a bit crooked, they were barely presentable.

As they were almost ready, the mech’s scanning device suddenly issued a warning, indicating that a large number of scattered Kirami were approaching from all directions.

“Squad leader, those monsters are approaching us. Should we attack?”

Zhang Yi swallowed and asked.

“No need, wait patiently for orders. We are in a team battle now, not a personal show. The higher-ups will make the appropriate response.”

Su Ming replied with some excitement.

As expected, not long after, Irelia issued the latest combat directive.

“Outer fighters, intercept the approaching Kirami!”

“Understood!”

Voices echoed in the public communication channel.

Instantly, the outer fighter groups, in squads, met the incoming Kirami.

Beams of light and missiles shot out.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ~

Beautiful fireworks exploded in the surrounding starry sky.

Just then, a black warning box popped up on the operating interface of Su Ming’s and the others’ mechs.

“Warning: Ultra-high intensity kais biological response detected.”

“Holy crap, what level of Kirami is approaching?”

“I don’t know.”

The public communication channel immediately exploded, and everyone said in shock.

Su Ming quickly entered a series of commands, activating the optical imaging device, trying to capture the target.

And Su Ming really did capture it.

In the distant starry sky, a black asteroid-like object with a diameter of 200 kilometers was approaching the main ship.

Su Ming tried to zoom in on the optical image and immediately saw large patches of black cells wriggling on the surface of the black asteroid, which was extremely disgusting.

“My God, what the hell is that thing, so huge?”

“Can we defeat them?”

Zhang Yi and the others also captured the target with their optical devices and were deeply shocked by the sight before them.

They couldn’t imagine what it would be like if they really collided with this thing in space.

In the command room.

Bila Duo continuously reported information.

“Main cannon charging progress 81%, 3 minutes and 34 seconds until contact.”

“Shut down protective devices, full power charging!”

Irelia calmly issued the order.

“Yes, overloading and charging.”

“3 minutes and 25 seconds until contact.”

The Operator continuously reported in real time.

When there were 2 minutes and 11 seconds left until contact, Bila Duo immediately shouted, “Main cannon fully charged!”

However, Irelia did not immediately order an attack but waited patiently.

Bila Duo and the others did not question Irelia. Just then, an Operator reported, “3rd Grade Battleship · Wind Shadow and 3rd Grade Battleship · Rock Shield’s main cannons are fully charged!”

“Order them to launch a joint attack!”

Irelia issued the order without hesitation.

“Yes!”

Bila Duo immediately responded.

In the starry sky, 3rd Grade Battleship · Wind Shadow and 3rd Grade Battleship · Rock Shield simultaneously fired a brilliant beam of light directly at the Kirami collective.

At this moment, the Du Mu’s protruding main cannon barrel burst forth with dazzling white light, and then a beam of light, piercing through the center of the square formation, shot like a stream of light directly at the Kirami collective.

Su Ming and the others all held their breath, their eyes fixed on the attacking beam of light.

Just then, the Kirami collective burst out with a black halo, and an invisible AT Field emerged.

In the command room, Bila Duo immediately shouted, “Target has deployed an AT Field!”

“Destroy it!”

Irelia shouted decisively.

Boom ~

The beams fired by the two 3rd Grade Battleships instantly hit the AT Field, causing the entire AT Field to distort to some extent.

Just then, the Du Mu’s main cannon beam followed suit, striking the AT Field Barrier.

The AT Field Barrier shattered with a roar!

The pure white beam penetrated into the Kirami’s body.

“Beautiful!”

Su Ming and the others couldn’t help but cheer. The main cannon’s attack angle was extremely precise, directly giving the opponent a heavy blow.

However, at this moment, the hit Kirami collective instantly exploded, transforming into countless jellyfish-shaped Kirami, avoiding the fatal blow.

Then, they swarmed like a beehive towards the main ship.

Rhine and the others were stunned when they saw this scene.

“This works too?”

In the command room, Bila Duo immediately reported, “Target has dispersed from its aggregation, splitting into 101,023 units, and is approaching us.”

“Prepare for battle! Order the mech fleet to switch to the Blade formation and eliminate them!”

Irelia was not surprised by this outcome.

“Yes!”

Bila Duo quickly issued the order.
