Chapter 429: Incident (Five in One)
by SunflowerOne day later, inside the Fallen Light’s medical bay.
Commander Su Ming lay on a massive medical device, which continuously operated, with spectrums of light constantly sweeping over his body.
Dr. Borden watched the data displayed on the instrument, constantly writing in his notebook.
Soon, the medical device stopped operating.
“All done, Commander Su Ming.”
Dr. Borden said to Commander Su Ming.
“Hmm, how is my body recovering?”
Commander Su Ming asked with concern.
“The recovery is going well, but the contamination level still hasn’t returned to a safe line. Commander Su Ming, you must continue to take your medicine on time and rest as much as possible! Most importantly, before you fully recover, absolutely do not touch a Biological Mecha, otherwise, the consequences will be irreversible!”
Dr. Borden meticulously instructed.
“Thank you, I’ll be going now.”
Commander Su Ming said as he got off the medical device.
“Alright! Take care.”
Dr. Borden respectfully replied.
Residential Area · Recreation Hall.
The entire recreation hall was circular, with a viewing platform on the right side and sofas and various entertainment facilities on the left.
Ding~
The metal door automatically opened.
Commander Su Ming walked out with his hands behind his back, heading forward.
He saw Rhine and others, with sleeves rolled up and bare feet, cheerfully holding cleaning tools, wiping down the facilities. The entire area was sparkling clean.
“What are you all doing?”
Commander Su Ming asked with a smile.
“We’re cleaning our new ship, of course! Finally, we don’t have to take those dirty old broken ships when we go out.”
Rhine and the others replied in high spirits.
Before they acquired the Wind Movement, they practically had to search for a ship every day, and the ships they found were truly beyond words.
Even after they had the Wind Motion, it still felt a bit lacking.
Now with the Fallen Light, the situation was different. This was a top-tier Level 5 Battleship, capable of going almost anywhere in the entire universe.
“Alright, then you all can take your time cleaning. I’m going back to rest.”
Commander Su Ming didn’t want to spoil their fun seeing how happy they were.
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others nodded in response.
Commander Su Ming then walked towards his room.
Soon, he arrived at the door of Room NO.1, reached out, opened the door, and walked in.
The entire room was very spacious, covering a full three hundred square meters, with a living room, study, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, and other supporting facilities all readily available.
The furniture placed inside the house had all been moved from the Wind Movement.
At this moment, Little Gray and Celes were in the living room, constantly chasing each other, flying back and forth.
“Squeak squeak!”
Little Gray was having a great time, constantly opening its mouth and chirping.
At this moment, Celes saw Commander Su Ming return, flew straight to him, and grumbled.
“You’re back!”
“Mm.”
Commander Su Ming nodded in reply.
Just then, Little Gray flapped its wings and landed on Celes’s head.
Celes immediately projected a virtual screen, put her hands on her hips, and angrily scolded Little Gray.
“Don’t step on my head, do you believe I’ll stew you?”
“Squeak squeak!”
Little Gray, however, responded happily with chirps.
Seeing them get along so well, Commander Su Ming smiled and said to Celes.
“Have fun, don’t argue!”
“I’m not arguing with it, catch this little ball.”
Celes raised her mechanical little hand and forcefully threw a small steel ball.
Little Gray chased after it like lightning.
Commander Su Ming watched this scene, shook his head, and walked to a nearby recliner to sit down.
He raised his wristband and, taking advantage of the ship ending its superluminal flight, logged into the Star Cluster Forum to browse posts.
The entire forum was very lively, with information and combat footage from various battlefield areas being uploaded.
Commander Su Ming saw a quite popular post and immediately opened it to take a look.
There was a video in the post.
A sophisticated blue custom mecha fiercely engaged in combat with an Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s Four-Generation Mecha · Light Shadow, ultimately successfully defeating it.
Below the entire post, there were numerous comments from the residents of Rainy City, showing strong support.
“General Silaran is too amazing!”
“Who said our Rainy City couldn’t do it.”
Commander Su Ming glanced at a few comments, then smiled and closed the post, continuing to browse downwards.
He then saw a large number of posts about the City Exam, with the annulment and re-examination of the City Exam becoming a trending topic.
Commander Su Ming, with interest, clicked on the most popular post.
Latest news: The Federal Government dispatched Night Owl personnel, apprehending a total of 13,512 candidates. According to reliable internal sources, the scores of these candidates all had issues, suspected of cheating, though the specific cheating methods are unknown.
According to the highest directive from the Federal Council, this is the most severe large-scale cheating incident in the Federation’s history. To ensure the fairness of the City Exam, a re-examination is hereby announced.
The entire post had tens of billions of clicks, and the comments below reached tens of millions.
Commander Su Ming clicked on the popular comments to browse them.
“Oh my god, I finally managed to get a good score, and now I have to retake it? Isn’t this going to kill me?”
“Woke up and the sky fell, just destroy it all! I barely managed to pass.”
“Haha, retake! That’s great, I have another chance! Love you!”
Commander Su Ming looked at these comments and couldn’t help but shake his head. Indeed, some were happy, some were sad.
Those who scored well didn’t want to retake the exam, especially those who just barely passed the passing line.
However, the students who failed were genuinely overjoyed, as they had already prepared themselves for drawing the red or black lot.
Commander Su Ming continued to browse downwards, and then he saw a highly trending comment.
Black Striped Fish: “I’m truly speechless. If someone scores a bit better, you accuse them of cheating, directly arrest them, and don’t even allow appeals! But then I went to investigate the person who exposed this matter, and I didn’t know until I checked, it’s truly ironic.”
Three Leaves: “How so, brother?”
Black Striped Fish: “The person who exposed this matter is Lieutenant General Su Ming. This guy used to be a bad student, but during the City Exam, he inexplicably soared and got into the Royal Court Academy. Now he’s turning around and arresting students whose grades have significantly improved. Isn’t this a classic case of biting the hand that feeds you?”
Three Leaves: “Really? Is that true?”
Black Striped Fish: “How can it be false? This guy is the young master of Royal Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry. His grades were definitely arranged by his family. And after he joined the military, he rose steadily, now he’s even a Lieutenant General, it’s definitely a path paved by his family! Oh, I can’t compare to someone born with a diamond spoon in their mouth.”
Flute in the Wind: Brother, at first, I thought what you said made sense, but I went to investigate, and holy cow! This Lieutenant General Su Ming, he got promoted on his own, okay? Didn’t you see how many medals he has? Even if you’re slandering, at least have some basis!
“Yeah, don’t talk nonsense!”
Countless people followed up with replies.
Black Striped Fish: Bullshit, I’d never talk nonsense. I heard all his military merits were given to him by others, someone even exposed it before.
Flute in the Wind: You’re talking about his cousin, Major General Su Yuan, right? That’s not the same person at all.
Black Striped Fish: Uh, maybe I remembered wrong, it seems like it was him!
At this moment, many onlookers also started to complain.
“This Su Yuan is the one who should be thoroughly investigated! Fabricating military merits, and even splurging 20 billion on a celebrity!”
“Yeah, where did he get so much money? How much did he embezzle?”
“Exactly, and maybe even his City Exam scores are problematic.”
“If this kind of parasite isn’t thoroughly investigated, what are those in the Tribunal doing?”
Commander Su Ming saw the comments below, which started by criticizing him but then turned into an attack on Su Yuan, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
How bad must Su Yuan’s reputation be to incur so much hatred?
Just then, a virtual prompt box popped up in front of him out of thin air.
“Received communication request from the Central Control Room, accept?”
Commander Su Ming was a little surprised to see the virtual prompt box. The ship’s equipment was really good. He immediately raised his hand and chose to accept.
Timmy’s virtual image immediately appeared in front of Commander Su Ming, and she respectfully reported.
“Commander Su Ming, we are about to arrive at the Kavimic Outpost.”
The Kavimic Outpost was a crucial outpost located between the Azure Blue Star Defense Line and the Abyss of Fallen.
This outpost was situated between the Guangying Star Sea and the Tidal Star Sea.
Fleets heading to the Abyss of Fallen usually registered, underwent inspection, and inquired about navigation conditions here.
“I know, follow standard procedure.”
Commander Su Ming said to Timmy.
“Understood!”
Timmy immediately responded.
Inside the Central Control Room.
After cutting off communication, Timmy gave an order to Li Menghan.
“Send a communication request to the Kavimic Outpost.”
“Yes.”
Li Menghan immediately began the operation.
Time passed by second by second, and soon the communication was connected.
A young man in a captain’s military uniform, with a handsome and spirited face, saluted Timmy and spoke.
“Greetings, General, I am Captain Zhou Ran of the Kavimic Outpost.”
“Hello, I am Lieutenant Colonel Timmy of the Thirteenth Corps. We are ordered by the Federal Council to go to the Abyss of Fallen for support. According to regulations, we are exempt from inspection.”
Timmy replied efficiently.
“Understood, General!”
Captain Zhou Ran replied respectfully.
“Hmm, also, please tell me if the The route ahead is normal and passable.”
Timmy immediately followed up with a question.
“General Timmy, the The route ahead is all normal, you can proceed as usual.”
Captain Zhou Ran replied respectfully.
“Thank you!”
Timmy nodded slightly in thanks, then cut off the communication.
At this moment, Captain Zhou Ran, seeing the communication cut off, slowly shed his respectful expression, replaced by a cold and resolute look. He slowly turned around.
Only a pair of hands were visible in the corner, with crimson blood flowing out.
Inside the Central Control Room, numerous Operators in Federal uniforms looked at Zhou Ran with a murderous gaze.
Zhou Ran gave them a cold nod.
One by one, the Operators immediately took their positions and quickly began their operations.
In the starry sky.
The Fallen Light led the fleet and sailed to the Kavimic Outpost.
The entire Kavimic Outpost consisted of a massive circular space station and several mechanical fortresses, with patrol mechas and ships everywhere.
At this moment, the Fallen Light sailed towards the outpost exit.
A non-commissioned officer hurriedly ran into the transparent control room of the alert fortress and quickly pulled down the mechanical switch.
A row of red indicator lights for passage turned green.
A virtual navigation guide appeared in the dark starry sky.
The Fallen Light led the fleet and sailed through.
As it passed the alert fortress, the non-commissioned officer saluted the Fallen Light.
Soon, the Fallen Light fleet passed through the Kavimic Outpost and then activated its superluminal flight device.
Whoosh whoosh!
One by one, the ships entered Subspace.
The next day, Fallen Light Central Control Room.
The door opened automatically, and Commander Su Ming, Rhine, and others walked in.
“Commander Su Ming.”
Timmy greeted him respectfully.
“Mm, how are things?”
Commander Su Ming walked to the command chair, sat down, and asked.
“Everything is normal. We have already passed the outpost and traveled for a day. We have finished superluminal flight, and once the superluminal device cools down, we can fly directly to the Abyss of Fallen.”
Timmy reported methodically.
“Good.”
Commander Su Ming nodded in response.
At this moment, Rhine and the others spoke with great excitement.
“Boss, when we get to the Abyss of Fallen, will we be able to see Teacher Mia?”
“Probably.”
Commander Su Ming replied with a smile.
“That’s great, finally we get to see Teacher!”
“Boss, do you think Teacher Mia will be surprised to see us?”
“Yeah, especially you, Boss! You’re a Lieutenant General now.”
Rhine and the others said with a laugh.
“She should be very surprised.”
Commander Su Ming imagined the reunion scene and said with a pleasant mood.
“Boss, whose military rank do you think is higher, Teacher Mia’s or yours? Will yours be higher than hers?”
Ankajia asked very gossipy.
“It should be Teacher Mia’s rank that’s higher. She led a team independently to support the Abyss of Fallen.”
Commander Su Ming thought for a moment and said.
“Boss, you’re also leading a team independently now, aren’t you?”
Rhine reminded him with a chuckle.
“Well, I’m not sure about that.”
Commander Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
If his military rank was higher than Mia’s, it would be a bit topsy-turvy.
However, Commander Su Ming thought about it and figured it probably wouldn’t be the case, as Teacher Mia seemed to have undergone advanced training a long time ago.
Just as they were chatting happily, the scanning device suddenly emitted a warning sound, followed by a prompt popping up.
“Alert: Faint distress signal detected.”
Upon seeing it, Timmy immediately reported to Commander Su Ming.
“Commander Su Ming, a distress signal has been scanned. The identification code is SCW-8544. It’s an encrypted breakpoint signal from a Federal special escape pod.”
Upon hearing Timmy, Commander Su Ming’s expression immediately turned serious, and he then said, “Timmy, try to establish communication. See if you can connect.”
“Yes!”
Timmy immediately began the operation.
“Locking onto signal source.”
“Decrypting encrypted signal, establishing communication link.”
“Communication established successfully.”
Seeing that communication was established, Timmy immediately asked, “This is the Federal Fallen Light. Who are you? What happened?”
At this moment, the communication device emitted a cacophony of background noise, followed by an extremely weak voice.
“Help me, help…”
The plea for help abruptly ceased.
Timmy frowned slightly and spoke again, “Hello, can you hear me?”
Unfortunately, no matter how Timmy inquired, the other party did not respond.
Timmy then reported to Commander Su Ming, “Commander Su Ming, the other party seems to have lost consciousness.”
“Where is the signal source? How far away?” Commander Su Ming asked with a deep frown.
“The signal source is at coordinates 2913, 2341, 4922, approximately 1.32 million kilometers away,” Timmy immediately provided the precise coordinates.
Rhine and the others looked at Commander Su Ming and asked, “Boss, should we save them or not? Could this be a trap?”
“Exactly, and will the rescue delay our mission? After all, we are currently escorting important weapons and supplies.”
Commander Su Ming’s expression shifted, and then he stood up and said, “You all stay here, I’ll go for the rescue.”
“Boss, isn’t that too risky? Why don’t we go?” Rhine quickly offered when he saw Commander Su Ming intended to go.
“No need, I’ll sneak in. If the situation isn’t right, I’ll retreat immediately!” Commander Su Ming said, then walked directly to the lift platform.
Little Gray and Celes immediately followed him.
A few minutes later.
Swish!
The Fallen Light’s exit opened.
Commander Su Ming piloted the Shadow Lord out, then activated stealth mode, rushing towards the coordinates at extreme speed.
Inside the cockpit.
Celes asked curiously, “Su Ming, I feel something is not quite right.”
“I feel it too, that’s why I’m going to rescue them myself,” Commander Su Ming replied in a deep voice.
There were Federal personnel here sending a distress signal, and the other party was using a highly encrypted distress signal.
Soon, the Shadow Lord flew into an asteroid field.
At this moment, Celes excitedly said, “There!”
Commander Su Ming adjusted the optical image and looked over, then discovered an escape pod floating among the asteroids.
He activated the scanning device to scan the escape pod.
“PDSW-04 type escape pod, 11% internal energy remaining, oxygen nearing depletion.”
“Oh no, no oxygen left! That guy isn’t even wearing a protective suit.” Commander Su Ming said in a deep voice as he saw the alert.
“This is troublesome. Your mech isn’t designed for professional rescue, it doesn’t have an oxygen tube.” Celes tilted her head and said.
“Let’s take a gamble and bring him back.”
Commander Su Ming piloted the mech, rushed over, grabbed the escape pod, then went full power, controlling the Shadow Lord to rush towards the Fallen Light at full speed.
He then opened the communication channel and said, “Timmy, have Rhine and the others wait for me in the hangar with the medical staff.”
“Understood!” Timmy immediately replied.
Inside Fallen Light’s Zero Aircraft Hangar.
Rhine and the others, along with several female medical officers, waited nervously.
Click!
At this moment, the access passage opened, and Commander Su Ming piloted the Shadow Lord to the designated bay and stopped. He then placed the escape pod on the ground.
Rhine and the others immediately rushed over and quickly opened the escape pod from the outside. Immediately, a young man in a captain’s military uniform, with a pale face, came into view.
“Quick, carry him out!” Rhine and the others quickly carried the man out.
The medical officer immediately stepped forward to examine him.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming opened the cockpit, jumped down, and asked, “How is it? Is he still alive?”
“Commander, there are no vital signs. He’s dead,” Medical Officer Yun Yue said nervously.
At this moment, Celes floated over, scanned the deceased man’s body, and then said, “Move aside, everyone move aside, let me do it!”
Commander Su Ming and the others quickly moved aside upon hearing this.
Celes floated in front of the young man, her white spherical body extending numerous metal needles, which then pierced into various parts of his body.
Sizzle!
Instantly, the young man’s body trembled violently, and his stopped heart immediately revived.
He immediately came back to life, opened his eyes, and gasped for air frantically.
Then he said with great difficulty, “There…”
“Don’t rush, take your time. Rhine, quickly get some water.” Commander Su Ming, seeing he couldn’t speak, quickly told Rhine.
“Okay!” Rhine quickly took glucose water from the medical kit and fed him a sip.
After drinking, the young man recovered quite a bit, then gasped and said, “There’s… there’s an ambush.”
Commander Su Ming, Rhine, and the others’ expressions changed dramatically upon hearing the young man’s words.
“Holy crap, Boss, what do we do?” Rhine immediately asked.
“Rhine, all of you enter battle readiness. Zhao Yue, take him to the medical bay.” Commander Su Ming immediately gave the order.
“Yes!” Rhine and the others rushed towards their mechs.
Commander Su Ming raised his wristband to connect to the central control room.
“Commander Su Ming, what are your orders?” Timmy asked respectfully.
“There’s an ambush. Immediately notify the fleet to change course, activate the FTL flight device, and bypass the Abyss of Fallen towards the Shabask Kingdom,” Commander Su Ming ordered Timmy while running towards the fast-moving platform.
“Yes!” Timmy’s expression turned serious, and he immediately replied.
Inside the central control room.
Timmy said to Li Menghan, “Issue a red alert to all ships, order them to turn their bows and change course, and share the new course!”
“Understood!”
“Bow deflection +3.” Li Menghan and the others immediately executed the order.
“All ships begin preheating the FTL flight device,” Timmy continued to order.
“FTL flight device is preheating. Fallen Light is expected to complete preheating in 10 minutes.”
“Shield Asia is expected to complete preheating in 15 minutes.”
“Ice Thorn is expected to complete preheating in 15 minutes.”
“Transport ship Fallen Light is expected to complete preheating in 20 minutes!”
“Transport ship Mushroom is expected to complete preheating in 20 minutes.”
Li Menghan and the others continuously relayed information.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming ascended from the moving platform and hurriedly walked over, asking, “Timmy, how’s the situation?”
“Sir, the course is being changed, and the FTL flight devices are all preheating. However, the transport ships’ devices are not as good as the Fallen Light’s, so they require 20 minutes of preheating time. Once preheating is complete, we will immediately enter Subspace,” Timmy said professionally.
“Set the radar scanning device to maximum power. Don’t be careless. We are either entering the enemy’s pocket or on the edge of the enemy’s pocket,” Commander Su Ming reminded rationally.
“Understood!” Timmy responded heavily.
In the dark starry sky.
A Level 5 Battleship, the Guangyan, 280 kilometers long, completely covered in silver-white armor, with a concave bow, a white energy cannon extending from its center, and numerous ports and interceptor cannons on its sides, was faintly hidden among many asteroids.
Inside the central control room.
On the giant virtual screen, a circle of green dots formed a hidden pocket.
At the entrance of the pocket, four red dots continuously flickered.
At this moment, the red dots about to enter the pocket suddenly changed direction and moved to the left.
At this moment, a man wearing Third Generation exoskeleton armor, with black slanted bangs and cold eyes, his face suddenly changed, and he reported to an old man wearing a sacred white priestly robe, with a white beard and prominent cheekbones.
“Not good, Archbishop Arcane, the other party suddenly turned. It seems we’ve been exposed!”
“Impossible, we clearly used the Divine Kingdom’s latest developed stealth device, and Zhou Ran also handled it flawlessly.” Arcane’s face was extremely gloomy. He couldn’t understand where the problem in the plan was.
At this moment, General Mecca said anxiously, “Lord Arcane, no matter what, we must abandon the ambush and pursue now. If we delay any longer, they will really escape.”
“Pursue!” Arcane’s old face shifted, and finally he spoke.
“Yes!” Mecca immediately turned and rushed towards the fast-moving platform.
Soon, he took the fast-moving platform to Zero Aircraft Hangar.
There, five giant metal cylindrical devices stood. The front of each metal cylinder was fitted with a Silver Executor, 42 meters tall, shaped like a mech, with a conical and very sharp head, a cross-shaped central area with an electronic eye, oval shields attached to its back, emitting a silvery light, and a very smooth and rounded body.
On the other side of the giant metal cylindrical device, a transparent biological tank was embedded.
At this moment, four Generals in white military uniforms with sacred insignias emblazoned on their chests were already standing beside the transparent biological tanks, ready for deployment.
Mecca walked directly over and said grimly, “Board the mechs!”
“Yes!” The four Generals responded grimly.
Mecca and the other four then entered the transparent biological tanks. Viscous life-sustaining fluid immediately filled and completely covered them.
Sizzle!
Instantly, the five Silver Executor’s scarlet eyes lit up. They then severed the data connection lines behind them and rushed towards the exit at extreme speed.
Swish! Swish!
The five Silver Executor detached from the mothership, then transformed into bullet-head shapes, entered stealth mode, and rushed at high speed towards the distant starry sky.
At this moment, many Apocalypse Divine Kingdom mech units also disembarked, and the ambushing ships also began to change course.
Inside the Fallen Light’s central control.
Commander Su Ming sat steadily in the command chair, constantly looking at the operation screen.
The square virtual images of Major General Tang Yan, Colonel Li Rong, Lieutenant Colonel Dansang, and Lieutenant Colonel Oates were displayed on it.
Below their images, the preheating status of each ship’s FTL device was displayed.
Fallen Light, Shield Asia, and Ice Thorn had all completed preheating. Now only the two Level 5 Battleship remained.
They had 3 minutes and 42 seconds left to complete preheating.
Li Menghan and the others all had very solemn expressions, and no one dared to be careless.
At this moment, the scanning device suddenly popped up a red alert box.
“Warning: Unidentified anomaly scanned.”
Upon seeing the alert, Timmy immediately reported to Commander Su Ming, “Commander Su Ming, the enemy seems to be catching up, but the scan is unclear.”
Tang Yan and the others were also startled and spoke up, “Why didn’t our scanning device issue a warning?”
“Your scanning performance isn’t sufficient. Timmy, activate the optical imaging device and try to capture it. I want to see what exactly is chasing us,” Commander Su Ming ordered in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Timmy immediately began the operation.
Soon, the optical image displayed the captured footage.
In the dark starry sky, three faint streaks of light were continuously approaching at high speed.
Timmy immediately adjusted the optical imaging device for better resolution, refreshing the captured footage.
Soon, the image gradually became clearer, and their figures could barely be seen. What was coming were three bullet-like weapons.
“What is this?” Timmy and the others asked in astonishment.
“Three Silver Executor!” Commander Su Ming suddenly stood up from the command chair, his face changing drastically as he spoke.
“What are Silver Executor?” Tang Yan and the others asked, very confused.
“A very special kind of weapon. There are no pilots inside, and each one is comparable to a Pseudo V-generation Mecha, and their combat style is very strange!” Commander Su Ming said, finding it troublesome.
“No pilots, and they have the strength of a Pseudo V-generation Mecha?” Tang Yan and the others’ expressions changed dramatically upon hearing this.
“This isn’t the worst part. Since they dared to ambush us, they definitely won’t only have this many people,” Celes analyzed rationally.
Commander Su Ming’s expression shifted, and then he ordered, “Timmy, slow down the Fallen Light and retreat to the very back of the fleet!”
“Understood!” Timmy immediately replied.
Commander Su Ming continuously watched the transport ship’s preheating countdown. There were now 1 minute and 21 seconds left.
If they could just hold on a little longer, they could escape.
Soon, the preheating countdown was down to just 20 seconds. Timmy and the others all held their breath.
Just then, in the starry sky to the right, two Silver Executor rapidly approached. There was no time, and they directly raised their launchers from a distance.
Swish!
Two streaks of light, flashing with red lightning arcs, swiftly attacked the fleet.
Instantly, piercing alarms blared from the Fallen Light and other ships.
Red warning boxes popped up one after another.
“Warning: Unknown attack detected!”
…
“Evade quickly!”
Lieutenant Colonel Dansang of the Yuyang transport ship also quickly gave the command.
Commander Su Ming suddenly remembered something and quickly shouted to everyone.
“Quick, everyone activate all interceptor cannons and missiles for interception!”
Hearing Commander Su Ming’s words, everyone’s hearts trembled, and they immediately complied.
The Yuyang also began to deviate its course immediately.
On the surface of the Fallen Light, dense interceptor cannons turned, and rows of launch ports opened.
Dense beams of light and missiles shot out.
Bang!
A streak of light, flashing with red lightning arcs, was instantly blown apart and successfully intercepted.
Although the other red streak of light was hit by a beam of light, it only caused it to deviate slightly.
Then, that red streak of light instantly hit the energy shield of the Level 5 Transport Ship · Yuyang.
Crack!
Although the entire energy shield did not shatter, it was penetrated.
Immediately after, the red light hit the ship’s stern.
Rumble~
A huge explosion swept across.
The Level 5 Transport Ship · Yuyang immediately vibrated violently.
“How could this happen? Why didn’t the Yuyang’s energy shield work?”
Dansang asked in horror.
Although the Yuyang was only a transport ship, its energy shield was a standard Level 5 Battleship energy shield, with extremely high defensive strength.
Tang Yan and the others were also greatly astonished upon hearing Dansang’s words.
Commander Su Ming said in a deep voice.
“This is their secret weapon; the energy shield won’t do much. What is the current status of the Yuyang?”
“Four sets of thrusters at the stern, one set destroyed, another set damaged. Travel speed has decreased, and the hyper-light speed flight device cannot be activated temporarily. However, if you give me fifteen minutes for emergency repairs, I can definitely temporarily fix it to enter hyper-light speed flight at minimum status.”
Lieutenant Colonel Dansang quickly reported.
“Commander Su Ming, what should we do now? The Yuyang can’t fly, and the enemy is rapidly approaching.”
Timmy turned to look at Commander Su Ming.
“All hyper-light speed flight plans are suspended. Everyone prepare for battle. The Yuyang will be repaired immediately.”
Commander Su Ming gave the command decisively.
Both transport ships carried important weapons and supplies, and he couldn’t afford to lose even one to the enemy.
“Yes!”
Tang Yan and the others responded grimly.
“Timmy, I’ll leave this to you.”
After instructing Timmy, Commander Su Ming turned and walked towards the mobile platform.
Celes and Little Gray quickly followed Commander Su Ming.
Commander Su Ming arrived at the Zero Aircraft Hangar on the mobile platform, where urgent combat alarms continuously echoed throughout the Zero Aircraft Hangar.
All Mecha combat personnel boarded their Mecha and stood by.
Commander Su Ming walked directly towards the V Generation Biological Mecha · Ilyas.
“Hey, hey, Commander Su Ming, what are you doing?”
“Boarding the Ilyas.”
Commander Su Ming replied simply.
“No, your body isn’t fully recovered. You can’t board the Ilyas.”
Celes anxiously advised.
“I don’t want to either, but there’s no other choice now. The enemy’s main force is right behind us; once we’re entangled, it’ll be troublesome.”
A hint of anger showed on Commander Su Ming’s face.
“Please reconsider, reconsider.”
Celes tried her best to persuade him.
Commander Su Ming walked unswervingly to the V Generation Biological Mecha · Ilyas.
However, just as he was about to board the Mecha, a rapid sound of footsteps approached.
Borden ran over, panting, and shouted with a pale face.
“Lord Commander Su Ming, are you trying to die?!”
“Dr. Borden, I know my own body.”
Commander Su Ming replied coldly.
“That won’t do either. This is no joke. You at least need to wait until your test results reach the passing line before you can pilot it! No matter how bad the situation is now, it’s not so bad that you need to risk your life, right?”
Borden directly blocked Commander Su Ming, extending both hands to prevent him from boarding the Mecha.
“Sigh!”
Upon hearing Borden’s words, Commander Su Ming frowned and turned to walk towards the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Shadow Lord next to him.
Borden immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if all his strength had been drained.
If anything happened to Commander Su Ming’s body, Dr. Blackes would surely flay him alive.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming boarded the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Shadow Lord and spoke grimly in the communication channel.
“Engage!”
After Commander Su Ming finished speaking, he piloted the Mecha and took the lead, rushing towards the exit.
“GO! GO! GO!”
Rhine, piloting the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Crazy Shadow, led Ankajia and the others to follow.
In the starry sky.
Major General Tang Yan, piloting a thirty-five-meter-tall advanced Fourth Generation Mecha · Rock Thorn Emissary, completely covered in crimson armor, with a particle beam cannon on its shoulder and particle light blades in both hands, led numerous soldiers out of the Battleship’s exit.
“Everyone, our enemy is very powerful. Everyone must be prepared for a bloody battle.”
Tang Yan said to his subordinates with tense nerves.
“Yes!”
Numerous subordinates responded nervously.
At this moment, Mecha after Mecha rushed out of the Fallen Light, floating in the starry sky.
Tang Yan and the others were immediately startled and turned their heads to look, then saw two Pseudo V-generation Mecha, seventeen Fourth Generation Royal Thunder, ten Fourth Generation Shadow Killer, and numerous Mecha troops.
Commander Su Ming assigned all ten Shadow Killer to his classmates. They usually trained with Royal Thunder Mecha in their free time, so they had mostly mastered them.
“Am I seeing this right? So many advanced Mecha?”
“So awesome.”
Numerous soldiers exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming spoke in a deep voice.
“I will now assign combat missions. For those three behind, Rhine, you are responsible for containing one.”
“Yes!”
Rhine responded without hesitation.
“Elu, you lead five Royal Thunder Mecha to assist Tang Yan in containing one.”
“Yes!”
“Ankajia, your remaining Four-Generation Mecha will contain one, and the two on the right will be handled by me! The rest of you will provide long-range combat assistance and intercept subsequent enemy reinforcements! Although we have a numerical advantage, do not let your guard down.”
Commander Su Ming gave the orders simply and clearly.
That Silver Executor, when facing multiple Fourth Generation Mecha in a group attack, almost wiped them all out.
Therefore, the situation now was not much better.
On the other side, Mecca and the others, who were rapidly approaching, instantly scanned the Mecha that Commander Su Ming was participating in.
They quickly communicated.
“Lord Mecca, how come these people deployed so many Fourth Generation Mecha?”
“And look at the Pseudo V-generation Mecha leading the charge, it has eight red moons painted on its shoulder, and two of them are dark red moons, it’s too exaggerated.”
“What are you afraid of? As long as we can hold them back for a while, our main force will arrive.”
Mecca said to everyone in a low voice.
“Lord Mecca, how do we fight now?”
Everyone asked.
“Wayne, you and I will go intercept the leading Pseudo V-generation Mecha. Wu Fei, you go intercept the other Pseudo V-generation Mecha. The rest of you will eliminate the other enemies.”
Mecca quickly assigned combat missions.
“Yes!”
Numerous Generals instantly responded.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming’s eyes gleamed with ferocity. He piloted the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Shadow Lord with full power, transforming into a terrifying black stream of light, directly charging towards one of the two Silver Executor on the right, preparing to disable one first.
Commander Su Ming was very clear about the performance of these Silver Executor. Apart from their speed and peculiar piloting style, these Silver Executor only had the strength level of ordinary Pseudo V-generation Mecha.
Mecca immediately felt extreme danger, but he did not retreat; instead, he and Wayne went to meet the attack.
Three streaks of light collided in the starry sky.
Bang!
A huge impact swept across.
The three Mecha simultaneously flew backward, creating distance!
At this moment, Rhine and the others collided with the other Silver Executor, engaging in fierce close combat.
Commander Su Ming quickly adjusted the Mecha’s posture, controlling the Shadow Lord to attack Mecca, fiercely swinging his two Plasma Lightsaber, striking at him like a phantom.
Mecca raised his embedded round shield and continuously parried.
Bang!
Countless light particles scattered with the collision.
The smooth round shield was cut with numerous slashes by the Plasma Lightsaber, and the entire silver Mecha was subjected to enormous force, constantly being suppressed and pushed back.
Mecca was stunned. How could this Mecha perform so well? And the Plasma Lightsaber in its hand was ridiculously strong.
However, at this moment, Wayne, piloting the Silver Executor, raised his left arm and confronted Commander Su Ming from the side.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Its embedded round shield opened up dense honeycomb holes, firing beams of energy.
Commander Su Ming glanced sideways, fiercely slashed Mecca with a single sword, and instantly vanished with a Light Speed Flash, dodging the attack!
Wayne immediately felt extreme danger. With incredibly fast neural reactions, he piloted the Silver Executor, disappearing with a Light Speed Flash.
The next second, the Pseudo V-generation Mecha · Shadow Lord reappeared.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming’s pupils contracted, and the entire starry sky seemed to freeze. He immediately captured Wayne’s movement trajectory and decisively performed a second Light Speed Flash, disappearing from his original spot.
Mecca was greatly alarmed when he saw this scene and immediately shouted to Wayne.
“Be careful!”
At this moment, Wayne, who had just reappeared, received Mecca’s warning, his heart trembled, and he immediately deployed an energy shield.
Crack!
Commander Su Ming, piloting the Shadow Lord, appeared behind Mecca without warning. The Plasma Lightsaber in his hand heavily struck the energy shield. The entire screen twisted violently, but it held firm.
However, Commander Su Ming’s attack did not stop there. He forcefully swung the Plasma Lightsaber in his left hand horizontally.
“Break for me!”
Crack!
Wayne’s energy shield instantly shattered.
“This?”
Wayne’s eyes nearly popped out. In a two-on-one situation, his shield was instantly broken.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
However, at this moment, Mecca saw Wayne was in danger. He appeared to Commander Su Ming’s right with a Light Speed Flash, his right arm’s embedded round shield ejecting a Plasma Lightsaber, which he sharply swung at Commander Su Ming.
Commander Su Ming decisively piloted the Mecha to retreat, dodging the attack.
Wayne, seeing that he had temporarily escaped danger, said breathlessly.
“Mecca, who exactly is this guy? How can he be so terrifying?”
“It’s Lieutenant General Commander Su Ming of the Federal Government. You should be glad he’s not piloting a V Generation Biological Mecha right now. Otherwise, by this time next year, the grass on our graves would probably be three meters high. But even so, don’t let your guard down. This guy is a monster. He once killed a Pseudo V-generation Mecha with a Fourth Generation Mecha, even Aiersen almost fell into his hands.”
Mecca said, finding the situation extremely difficult.
At this moment, Commander Su Ming gazed at the two, also feeling very troubled. The two together were very difficult to kill.
He then scanned the entire battlefield with his peripheral vision.
Rhine’s side was fine; he was fighting back and forth with the enemy’s Silver Executor, so holding him back shouldn’t be a problem.
However, the situations on Ankajia and Tang Yan’s sides were not so good.
The Silver Executor transformed into a silver light, instantly breaking out of the encirclement. Wherever it passed, Iron Guard Mech and Third Generation Mecha that were flanking exploded instantly, turning into dazzling fireworks.
These Silver Executor moved extremely fast, and only Fourth Generation Mecha could barely keep up.
Commander Su Ming’s expression grew increasingly grim as he saw his own people being killed.
He decisively activated Overclock Mode!
The virtual operating interface immediately popped up with messages.
“Overclock Mode activated!”
“Power output increased by 40%!”
The entire Shadow Lord’s power output instantly reached its peak, its eyes turned crimson, and its two Plasma Lightsaber became extra long.
Mecca and Wayne both instinctively trembled.
