Chapter 175: Joining (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Master Raging Fire) (Fifth Update)

They did not attack rashly, but instead began to line up and form an offensive formation, while everyone checked the status of their weapons and mechas.

At this moment, Su Ming, controlling Iron Guard, stood at the very back of Eyin’s team, watching them prepare for battle.

“Everyone check your magazines. Report if the quantity is too low.”

Eyin instructed meticulously.

“Understood.”

Everyone responded in unison.

Su Ming looked at this scene and felt a bit envious. If he were with the main force now, it would probably be a similar situation; there would be no need for him to act as a spy, shamelessly following others.

At this moment, Lan Yue spoke to Su Ming.

“Cao Ran, when the fight starts, stick close to us! If you fall behind, we won’t be responsible for you.”

“Okay.”

Su Ming responded awkwardly.

At this moment, Colonel Dilken, piloting the IV Generation Mecha · Shadow Slayer, issued a stern command through the communication channel.

“Everyone listen up. We are about to breach Taiboken Base City. This city has completely fallen; the ground is covered with various Kirami parasites, and numerous Kirami are roaming the sky. Once we enter, we will be subjected to a frenzied siege by the Kirami. We must push through the Kirami’s attacks, breaking through like a hot knife through butter, and must not stop our advance. When you stop, the surrounding Kirami forces will swarm in like sharks smelling blood, and you will be bitten to death! Therefore, anyone who is wounded or entangled will be abandoned, including myself!”

“Understood!”

Eyin and the others responded sternly.

“I declare the combat mission begins. Charge!”

Timmy formally issued the order to all combat personnel.

Colonel Dilken, piloting Shadow Slayer, charged towards Taiboken Base City first, with numerous mecha teams following closely.

As the vast army approached the base city, some of the Kirami entrenched in the air inevitably discovered them and swarmed towards them with a roar.

At this moment, the charging Flame Rider mechas raised their beam guns and fired at the incoming Kirami.

Whoosh whoosh~

Kirami were shot down one by one.

The vast army continued its advance. When they rushed into the city, countless Kirami parasites, like zombies, split their mouths, emitting ear-piercing roars, and charged towards the crowd.

At this moment, Colonel Dilken and Timmy, controlling their IV Generation Mecha · Shadow Slayer, swiftly attacked the monster tide.

The two wielded their particle lightsabers, sweeping through these monsters like cutting vegetables, carving out a path, with the subsequent mecha units following closely behind.

Since Eyin’s unit was responsible for the rear, their entire team faced immense pressure.

Ugly, deformed parasites lunged at them like mad.

Su Ming, controlling Iron Guard, dodged a lunging parasite, then swung his alloy blade in a backhand motion, cutting its body in half.

But before he could catch his breath, Kirami parasites rushed out from the nearby ruins and broken buildings, pouncing like rabid dogs.

“Be careful, 8 o’clock direction!”

“3 o’clock direction is also coming for you.”

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue continuously reminded Su Ming.

Su Ming’s neural response speed was extremely fast. He slashed at the Kirami parasite coming from the eight o’clock direction, cutting its body in half at the waist, then immediately turned and kicked, sending a bloated, fat parasite flying.

Just then, a terrified voice suddenly rang out.

“Help!”

Su Ming turned his head and saw Lan Yue being knocked to the ground by a Type III Kirami Gene-Split Beast · Corpse Dog, a beast-like creature seven meters tall, fifteen meters long, covered in black hair-like tentacles, and with a hound’s head.

“Lan Yue!”

Eyin was also startled. Just as she was about to go to the rescue, three II Type Elite Class · Kirami parasites lunged at her frantically.

She could only swing her long spear horizontally, knocking them away.

Upon seeing this, Su Ming immediately pushed the power lever to the limit, rushing forward at extreme speed.

Of course, Su Ming wasn’t that foolish to directly confront the Corpse Dog head-on. He merely rushed past its side, simultaneously swinging his alloy blade.

Crack!

A wound immediately appeared on the Corpse Dog’s body.

Although it didn’t cause a fatal injury, it did cause it pain. The Corpse Dog immediately became enraged, abandoning the fallen Lan Yue and charging directly at Su Ming.

“Su Ming, it’s coming for us!”

Lin Chuyu reminded nervously.

“I know.”

Su Ming showed no panic, instead pulling the control lever to maneuver his mecha towards a crumbling building.

Seeing the Corpse Dog about to catch up to Su Ming, Lan Yue cried out in alarm.

“Be careful!”

At this moment, Su Ming maneuvered his mecha to dodge to the right.

The Corpse Dog missed completely and crashed into a dilapidated building!

The entire building collapsed with a roar.

Su Ming immediately activated his auxiliary jet wings and shot out.

Rumble rumble~

The collapsing building directly buried the ferocious Corpse Dog.

“Beautiful!”

Lan Yue shouted excitedly.

“Hurry up and go, it won’t die, and the main force is advancing. If we get separated from the team, we’re done for.”

Su Ming showed no joy, instead speaking to Lan Yue and the others.

At this moment, Eyin also killed the three II Type Elite Class · Kirami parasites and shouted at Lan Yue.

“Hurry and catch up!”

Lan Yue and Su Ming immediately controlled their mechas and rushed over.

Boom~

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted, and the Corpse Dog violently shook off the building debris covering it and crawled out!

Su Ming turned his head to look, and his heart immediately constricted. Its vitality was truly abnormally tenacious.

Roar~

Accompanied by a roar, the Corpse Dog angrily chased after Su Ming and Lan Yue.

At this moment, Eyin, controlling the Third Generation Mecha · Gun Knight, lowered her beam cannon.

Whoosh!

A beam shot out, accurately hitting the Corpse Dog’s body, and the massive explosion directly sent it flying.

Although it wasn’t completely dealt with, due to severe body damage, the Corpse Dog couldn’t get up for a while.

At this moment, Su Ming and Lan Yue rejoined the team.

Inside the cockpit, Su Ming let out a slight sigh of relief; he had finally temporarily escaped danger.

An Ruoxue asked curiously.

“Su Ming, we are hostile to them, so why did you take such a big risk to save her?”

Su Ming was stunned by An Ruoxue’s question. In fact, he hadn’t thought that much; he had just instinctively rushed forward.

However, he still found an excuse and said profoundly.

“You don’t understand this, do you? This is called showing goodwill. In a sense, it’s called infiltrating the enemy.”

“Good idea, that’s really impressive.”

An Ruoxue smiled brightly and praised him upon hearing Su Ming’s words.

“Cough, it’s nothing.”

Su Ming was a bit flustered by An Ruoxue’s praise and could only respond in a calm tone, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Just then, a prompt suddenly appeared on Su Ming’s operation screen.

“Lan Yue has invited you to join the squad chat channel. Do you accept?”

Su Ming was a bit surprised to see this prompt.

“Su Ming, it seems your heroic rescue worked; they seem to have accepted you.”

An Ruoxue teased with a smile.

Lin Chuyu also looked at Su Ming and said with some hesitation.

“Su Ming, I think you shouldn’t get too close to them, otherwise, when you backstab them later…”

“I know, but not joining isn’t an option either; it’ll be troublesome if they suspect me later.”

Su Ming sighed and then clicked join.

Immediately, Eyin’s commanding voice continuously echoed in the communication channel.

“Zhang Sheng, keep an eye on the left side!”

“Understood!”

A rough male voice responded.

“Cao Ran, you don’t need to be so far from the team, stay so far back, get into the team!”

Eyin then spoke.

“That’s right, come in quickly!”

Lan Yue and the other girls shouted enthusiastically.

“Thank you.”

Su Ming thanked them somewhat awkwardly, then controlled his mecha to join their team.

“Cao Ran, you’re responsible for watching the rear. If any monsters chase us, remind us immediately!”

Eyin didn’t stand on ceremony with Su Ming and immediately issued the order!

“No problem, I’ll watch the back.”

Su Ming responded crisply.

“Brother, your skills are really good, and you’re brave too. You charged at a Type III monster without even blinking. No wonder you’re the only one from your team who survived.”

Zhang Sheng praised Su Ming while keeping watch.
