Ye Chong did not expect to be attacked right after he completed his warp jump, and before Coxcomb could even stabilize his flight. Ye Chong shook his groggy head, and finally saw the scene before him clearly.
In space, countless starships and mechs were flying everywhere. Laser beams swept across the void, and the explosions were bright and beautiful, but there was no sound.
Ye Chong was taken aback. Was he really in Fal galaxy?
"Shang, what's going on?" Ye Chong, who had no idea what was going on, could only ask.
"It looks like a fleet encountered a group of pirates." Shang also had not figured out the situation. The main reason was that the scene in front of them was too chaotic. Broken starships, mechs fighting each other, it was a mess.
Ye Chong took a closer look, and could not help but agree with Shang. None of the starships were warships, which was a relief to Ye Chong. As long as they did not encounter the Freedom Alliance, Ye Chong was not worried.
What was strange was that the fleet had all kinds of starships, and it was very messy. Usually, for the convenience of resupply, the fleet would choose the same model, but the starships here were too messy. Only one of them was a large starship. It was also a Zika class starship, but its design was very different from the Coxcomb. It was shaped like a shuttle, and looked lighter and more agile than the Coxcomb.
Fid's expression was calm and collected, but he was extremely anxious inside. The battle was at a stalemate, and the number of pirates was beyond his expectation.
The entire fleet was made up of civilians, who wanted to escape the war by migrating to Csebesini Galaxy. Since the pirates were rampant along the way, they collectively hired three mech squads to protect them along the way.
In fact, they were targeted by the pirates right from the start. To the pirates, this fleet composed entirely of civilians was no different from a fat sheep that they coveted. Hence, the pirates in the vicinity worked together and planned this operation.
The situation should not have been so bad, but one of the mech squads ran away when they saw the number of pirates. Only Fid's Oak Leaves Regiment and another mech squad called Red Lion Regiment were left. Among the civilians, many took to their mechs and fought against the pirates without hesitation, protecting their loved ones. It was precisely because of the addition of these people that the battle did not show a one-sided trend from the beginning.
The tragedy of the battle far exceeded the pirates' imagination. They could never imagine that these docile civilians would be so reckless. They completely disregarded their own safety and rushed forward in waves. Like a moth flying into a flame, he only wanted to use his weak body to contain the spreading fire.
Everyone understood that behind them were their loved ones. They could only move forward, there was no way back! Everyone's blood was roused at this moment. If the strong men died, the young men would take over. If the young men died, the women would take over. There was no sound, no shouting. Everything happened in silence. They did not hope to survive. They only hoped to use their own flesh and blood to exchange for a chance of survival for the elderly and children in the innermost layer. Just for this tiny chance, they stepped forward bravely.
The scene was silent, but the collision was incomparably intense. Light and fire, blood and flesh, mutual destruction was their greatest wish at this moment. At the moment of the explosion, the gentle eyes that looked back at the spaceship were instantly annihilated by the flames that engulfed them.
Every time the pirates boarded a starship, they had to pay a hefty price.
Fid knew that the situation was dire, but there was nothing he could do. Just then, his second-in-command suddenly pointed at the holographic screen and exclaimed in surprise, "Captain, look!"
Fid looked up abruptly. On the holographic screen, a large starship was slowly approaching them.
The sudden appearance of such a large starship immediately attracted the attention of the commanders from both sides. However, when the leader of the pirates saw that it was only a single starship, he was relieved. Given the current situation, no one would be willing to get involved in this mess. Besides, the enemy only had one starship. If they did not know what to do, he would just swallow the starship whole. The leader of the pirates looked at the clumsy looking starship and laughed coldly. So what if it was a Zika class starship? His subordinates were all in a frenzy now, and he still had a fighting force under his command. He was not afraid of any tricks from them.
Ye Chong watched the scene unfold on the holographic screen coldly. He watched as these people charged forward fearlessly despite knowing that they were no match for the enemy, without any hesitation. Behind them was an alloy door. Since there was no sound, Ye Chong's face was reflected on the holographic screen, obscuring his expression.
When he saw the children behind the alloy door through the window of the starship, Ye Chong realized what was going on. The pirate who boarded the starship had finally cleared the last obstacle. The fearlessness of those people just now had made him even more bloodthirsty. The deck of the starship was covered with mech parts. The children behind the alloy door were all crying in fear. He smiled ferociously and greedily. With just one move, this alloy door would be destroyed by him. He imagined that all the wealth behind this alloy door would belong to him. For these people to risk their lives to protect it, it must be an extremely precious treasure!
"The difference in strength is not something that can be made up for with courage," Ye Chong thought coldly. This made him even more determined to become stronger. Only then would he be able to control his own fate.
Just then, one of the mechs that was lying on the ground, almost completely destroyed, suddenly sprang up and grabbed the pirate mech. With a loud roar, the mech slammed into the wall of the starship. The already-damaged armor of the starship had a huge hole in it. The two mechs hugged each other tightly and flew into space.
The pirate could not react to the sudden turn of events.
Ye Chong could clearly see that the pilot cabin of the crippled mech was completely destroyed. The moment the mech crashed into the starship, the pilot's face turned greenish-grey, a sign of lack of oxygen. However, the greenish-grey face had a difficult smile on it. It was a strange sight. In the blink of an eye, the explosion engulfed the greenish-grey smile, along with the pirate mech.
Ye Chong stared blankly at the greenish-grey smile. Suddenly, he felt like someone had poked a hole in his heart.
Ye Chong's face flickered in the light of the flames.
Ye Chong's eyes were desolate. They were fighting so hard, probably because they had someone they needed to protect. But what about him? He did not even know who his parents were. His papa was dead, and he was alone. Oh, no, there was still Mu and Shang. But did Mu and Shang need his protection? Ye Chong felt bitterness in his heart.
The lights on the holographic screen kept changing, reflecting the colors on Ye Chong's face. However, as the colors changed, the desolation in Ye Chong's eyes deepened. Almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Chong's face had returned to its usual indifference.
Shang was quiet now, and said nothing.
"Shang, let's go." Ye Chong spoke plainly. The situation was too chaotic. In a large-scale battle like this, unless he exposed his Coxcomb's firepower, one person would have little effect on the battlefield. Besides, Ye Chong could not find a reason to attack. On the trash planet, after the predator had killed its prey, it would not spare the prey's young. This was the most common law of nature.
Ye Chong was not afraid of these pirates, but if they really wanted to fight him, it would be a very troublesome matter. At the very least, it would delay his journey. He had something to do now, and he had to go to Rainbow. There was a mystery there that might be related to papa, and Ye Chong's job was to solve this mystery.
However, Ye Chong did not provoke others, but it did not mean that others would ignore him. A few pirate mechs were flying towards them, firing their laser guns at the Coxcomb from time to time. In fact, the pirate leader did not want to provoke this large starship either, but his subordinates were already in a killing frenzy, and he could not restrain them.
A few laser beams hit the Coxcomb, leaving only a few shallow dents. Laser guns of this level were like scratches to the Coxcomb's thick armor. However, Ye Chong raised his eyebrows. He had been in a bad mood since the beginning, and now that someone dared to provoke him, Ye Chong could not help but feel a little angry.
It was not his style to stay silent after being attacked. Truth be told, if it was not against the Three Forces, who were not on the same level as him, Ye Chong would never stay silent after being attacked. Besides, these mechs were no different from clowns in Ye Chong's eyes. A mech of this level, and a mech pilot of this level, would not stand a chance against him.
Ye Chong deployed Puppet, and jumped into the clown mech's pilot cabin without hesitation.
"Ye, leave a few for me." Shang waved Recursion in his hand, and said hurriedly.
When the Coxcomb's cabin door opened, the few pirate mechs could not help but take a few steps back. Usually, a large starship like this would have hundreds of mechs guarding it. The few pirates still had their last shred of rationality. If there were too many people coming out of the starship, they would definitely run away. After all, there was a big group of people behind them.
After a long while, a mech flew out from inside, and it was an oddly thin and ugly looking mech. When the few pirate mechs saw it clearly, they seemed to have forgotten that they were on a battlefield, and burst into laughter.
Ye Chong was almost used to his opponents' reactions when they saw Puppet. This was exactly what he wanted. Even if his opponent was weaker than him, if he could deal with his opponent more easily, then why not?
Ye Chong looked at the opponent. The scene before him was so familiar, it was almost like the time when he saved the five people. Just when Ye Chong was about to make his move, a thin blue ray flashed before his eyes, and the mech in front of Ye Chong suddenly turned into a fireball.
Ye Chong was surprised. Just as Ye Chong paused for a moment, two more blue lines flashed by, and the remaining two mechs were turned into two fireballs.
Crack! Crack! The three mechs exploded, and the debris rained down on Puppet.
"Hehe." Puppet's photon processor rang with Shang's proud laughter. Ye Chong looked back helplessly. Shang's silhouette could be vaguely seen at the cabin door. As if he knew Ye Chong was looking at him, he waved Recursion in an arrogant manner. Needless to say, the three blue lines must be his doing. The explosion must have been caused by Shang accurately hitting the energy cells of the opponent's mech. However, to hit the opponent's energy cells with three shots, Shang's marksmanship was not much worse than Mu's. Ye Chong could not help but be impressed. If Ye Chong knew that Mu's shots hit the exact same spot, he wondered how he would react.
The pirate leader, who had been watching the scene, was now shocked. "F * ck, who told those people to go near the ship? You, you … and you, pass down the order, no one is allowed to go near the ship, or I'll f * cking do it, "the pirate leader said angrily as he pointed at the ship. His heart was beating wildly. Oh my God, so there was a super sniper mech pilot among them. No wonder they only sent one mech. This super sniper mech pilot was too terrifying, to be able to hit the energy cells with three shots from so far away. Scary, really scary! Besides, that sniper rifle was strange. It fired a blue ray, and there was no pause in between the two shots. F * ck, was this really a sniper rifle?
He knew just how terrifying a sniper mech pilot with such terrifying capabilities would be if he were to be equipped with such a sniper rifle!
Sniper mech pilots were a very unpopular branch of mech pilots, but they were also a very powerful profession. They were mech pilots who had reached the pinnacle of marksmanship. Unlike other mech pilots, they only focused on marksmanship, not close combat. They usually used sniper rifles as their weapons, aiming for a one-shot kill. They had strict requirements for their mechs and weapons. It could be said that every sniper mech pilot was a very powerful character. With their almost perfect marksmanship, even a normal heat ray gun could be used to great effect in their hands. If you appeared in his field of vision, you could fall to his gun at any time.
However, despite the strength of sniper mech pilots, it was still difficult to earn the title. It was because of the high requirements for marksmanship. Every sniper mech pilot was the focus of the major forces.
Who would have thought that there would be one here! The pirate leader could not help but curse the three idiots again. He did not think that just now, he was also thinking of sending the three of them to test the waters.
Fayde's heart skipped a beat like the pirate leader, but what replaced it was an uncontrollable ecstasy. If this starship could help them, then they might just be saved. He thought that with such a powerful sniper mech pilot here, even if the other mechs were average, the overall combat power of the starship should not be underestimated. However, he did not expect that there would only be one person in the Zika class starship.
A sniper mech pilot had the ability to turn the tide of a battle!
"Quick, send a distress signal to them. Tell them that there are only civilians here. Hope they can help!" Commander Fayde's voice was filled with impatience. He knew how tense the situation was and how precious every minute was.
