Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr From the discovery of the air raid until now, two hours had passed silently. The night was still very dark, and the enemy still had not broken through the defensive line of the ground forces. Meanwhile, the new enemies that had appeared were also unable to do much under the desperate resistance of all the special-class mecha. The battle had once again descended into a stalemate.
The ground command commander was already numb to the continuous stream of casualty reports. He had gone from his initial heartache to indifference, because even he himself did not know whether he would end up like these warriors, sacrificing himself on this planet...
"Look, what's that up there...?" Suddenly, a staff officer cried out. He was in charge of monitoring the entire battlefield, his eyes glued to the large screen on the wall of the command post.
Hearing this cry, the commander hurriedly looked up from a large pile of data. With a glance, he saw two dazzling mecha appear in the air above the dormitory district, almost blinding him. That familiar shape made him lose control. "Godd * mmit, they actually dare break the joint declaration!"
Right then, on the battlefield, almost everyone had noticed these two mecha hanging in the air at first glance. Because the mecha were too large and too dazzling, it was impossible to ignore them even if they wanted to. It was as if a pause button had been pressed on the initially intense battlefield. Both the enemy and their allies halted their attacks in unison.
The imperial mecha that were forbidden from appearing on the battlefield had now inexplicably appeared in the air above planet Newline, looking down arrogantly on the battlefield.
When the enemy personnel saw the tags on their chests indicating their current operation, they instantly let out earth-shattering cheers. Meanwhile, the garrison troops on planet Newline, all the warriors of the Huaxia Federation, and the instructors of the military academy, were all plunged into a state of despair.
Tang Yu had just defeated an ace mecha when he heard the collective gasps of the instructors. The next second, the entire battlefield was plunged into a cold silence. He raised his head in surprise and saw the two mecha hanging in the air. His pupils contracted, and his hands that had been operating the mecha instantly stiffened...
Tang Yu reflexively glanced at the dormitory district. He seemed to have already seen what the final fate of everyone here would be. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly checked the location of his proud disciple, Qiao Ting, only to find that the other had already left the perimeter of the dormitory district and was hiding in the depths of the military academy.
Tang Yu could not help but feel both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that Qiao Ting had not obeyed his orders and had acted on his own, leaving the area under his protection. If anything had happened, he would not have been able to rush over to protect him. He was happy that Qiao Ting had made up for his mistake. Now that he had left the dormitory district, perhaps he could still find a chance to survive.
Yes, Tang Yu did not think that they would be able to survive under the attack of an imperial operator. It was foreseeable that those who remained in the dormitory district, whether they were soldiers, instructors, or students under the protection of the beam shields, would all find it difficult to escape death.
With no way out, Tang Yu's gaze turned cold. He made a decision in his heart — that was, he would lead all the instructors and do their best to hold these two imperial mecha here, buying more time for Qiao Ting and the others to escape.
The two imperial mechas were extremely proud and satisfied when they saw that their appearance had caused the entire battlefield to pause for a few seconds, turning the battlefield into a deathly stillness. They looked down coldly at the Huaxia ground forces and their ace operators as if they were ants.
At that moment, one of the imperial mecha asked the other coldly, "What did you find?"
"I saw two batches of little catfish on their way to meet up, hehe …" The other imperial mecha suddenly laughed.
"Are they the targets?" The imperial mecha who had asked the question could not help but raise an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He had not expected them to be so lucky, discovering the targets of their mission right off the bat.
"Most likely. Those little catfish are all trainee mecha from the military academy. Two of them are ace trainee mecha. They should be the two targets the commander-in-chief gave us. Parker, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go take care of those little catfish. Once the mission is complete, we can go back. " The other imperial mecha could not help but lick his lips in excitement. Compared to being an unskilled human cannon, he still preferred to tease those little catfish and have some fun.
"Don't go overboard." The two imperial mecha seemed to be on good terms — the imperial mecha who had spoken at the start could not help but remind them.
"Don't worry, don't worry. When have I ever not completed a mission?" The other imperial mecha gave a perfunctory reply, and then in the next second, he disappeared into the night sky …
Tang Yu, who had been keeping a close eye on the two imperial mecha, saw one of the imperial mecha suddenly vanish and his heart clenched. "Where did he go?"
Before he could search for the other's whereabouts, he saw the remaining imperial mecha suddenly pull out a large cylindrical weapon about the height of a mecha from its back. Seeing this, Tang Yu's expression changed drastically and he shouted, "Run!"
As an elite ace, Tang Yu was very familiar with the imperial mecha they were about to advance to next level. The weapon the other had pulled out was the most powerful and terrifying beam energy weapon among imperial mecha — — the Line of Death! As long as one was hit, even an imperial mecha of the same level would have to rely on their king shield to survive. Any mecha lower than imperial mecha would have no chance of surviving this attack. The only way to escape was to leave the firing range of the Line of Death. This was why Tang Yu had shouted for them to run.
"Boom!" A purplish black beam suddenly shot out from the cylindrical weapon in the imperial mecha's hands. In that instant, even an imperial mecha as strong as it was still unable to maintain its mecha's balance. Its entire mecha was sent flying backwards — it was clear to see how strong the recoil of this shot was.
Thanks to Tang Yu's warning, all of the Federation mecha in the air quickly flew out of the firing range of the beam. Even so, some of the slower mecha were only grazed by the purplish black beam, but the energy contained within still caused these mecha to explode one after another. They were instantly reduced to rubble and then vaporized, leaving no trace behind.
The imperial mecha's target for this shot was the ground armoured troops defending against the enemy mecha. With one shot, a circular black empty space suddenly appeared in the centre of the initially neat rectangular formation of armoured troops. The armoured troops that had been lined up in the middle of it all turned into a mass of black, similarly disappearing without a trace …
"This is too terrifying. We can't fight back at all." Seeing this, a staff officer from the ground command centre suddenly fell to his knees and cried out, unable to bear the pressure. Although imperial mecha could not determine the outcome of a battle like god-class mecha, the Federation ground troops, who had already been at a disadvantage, had no strength left to fight back against those mecha after suffering such a devastating blow from the imperial mecha.
Normally, this kind of weak behaviour of the staff officer would have been reprimanded by the others, but everyone in the command centre was stunned by this attack. For a moment, the place was abnormally silent, and a sense of despair silently spread through the command centre.
The imperial mecha saw that one shot had wiped out about one-sixth of the enemy ground troops, and nodded in satisfaction. "Truly impressive. This is the value of us imperial operators …"
That said, the imperial operator stabilised his mecha and raised the cylindrical weapon once more. This time, his target was several li behind the armoured troops, the dormitory area that was currently flashing with a dazzling light …
"What a good target!" The imperial operator licked his lips excitedly. As long as that place was completely destroyed, it would mean that their mission was half completed. What a joke, those Huaxia people, thinking themselves so highly of themselves, coming up with such an area beam shield. He did not need to worry at all to find the target they wanted to hit. It was so freaking effortless.
Tang Yu, who had just led the instructors past the beam's trajectory, saw the direction the cylindrical weapon was aimed at, and could not help but cry out, "Stop! Bastard! " He operated his mecha, attempting to fly over to intercept the other, but it was already too late. The other had already pulled the trigger, and another purplish-black beam shot out from the cylindrical weapon …
"Boom!" The purplish-black beam struck the beam shield of the dormitory area mercilessly. The beam shield shattered instantly, but the beam did not weaken much. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the dormitory area. Many buildings were instantly swallowed up by that purplish-black beam, and the initially beautiful and serene dormitory area was instantly swallowed up by one tenth.
Seeing this, Tang Yu's tiger-like eyes brimmed with tears. He could almost see the instant the beam struck, the scene of the cadets inside being reduced to ashes, and his heart throbbed with pain.
"This place is pretty big …" The imperial mecha spat, and then raised the cylindrical weapon once more to aim at the dormitory area, preparing to fire a second Line of Death.
"Goddammit, stop!" Tang Yu was going crazy. Without hesitation, he operated his mecha to lunge at that imperial mecha. Even if he knew that he was going to die, he could not just stand by and watch those children die here …
"You're really looking for death!" The imperial mecha saw an ace mecha charging over fearlessly in an attempt to block his Line of Death. With a sneer, he pulled the trigger, and another purplish-black beam shot out from the cannon, smashing towards Tang Yu's mecha …
"Major Tang Yu …" All the instructors cried out in horror. Everyone knew that if Tang Yu was hit by that Line of Death, he would definitely not be able to escape death. Just as the purplish-black beam was about to swallow Tang Yu's mecha whole …
"Boom!" The purplish-black beam was suddenly blocked by a powerful force, and then it rapidly dissipated. Tang Yu's mecha once again appeared before everyone's eyes. His mecha was actually completely unscathed — what was going on?
Even the person involved, Tang Yu, was equally stunned. He had initially leaped forward, prepared to sacrifice himself, hoping to exhaust as much of the Line of Death's energy as possible to reduce the damage to the dormitory area below. However, unexpectedly, in the instant he was hit, a light blue beam had suddenly shot over from afar, intercepting the Line of Death and saving him.
He reflexively turned to look at the light blue beam, and saw that in the night sky, a mecha was flying rapidly towards him. Several seconds later, the entire mecha appeared before everyone's eyes …
Seeing this mecha, Tang Yu's eyes instantly moistened. He seemed to have become a bullied child who finally saw someone he could rely on. He could not help but shout, "General Ling!"
Tang Yu was using a sound amplification device, so his shout was clearly heard by everyone on the battlefield!
