The White Spirit lived up to the name of 'ghost'. Although she had no physical body and could only appear as a projection, she was very free inside the electronic systems.
In a way, she was more like a virus to the Robert Family people on the spaceplane. The Robert Family could build robots this well, so they should be very good at system maintenance as well. But in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so light screens in the control room were filled with the white figure.
Robert Borat, the man who spoke earlier, was so angry that he was shaking all over. When he came up with this plan, he didn't think that the guardian 'ghost' of this place would be so difficult to deal with. He also didn't think that there would be someone in this group who could resist the interference and keep the energy shield stable all the time. How in the world did the trash of Sector V possess such technology?
Borat clenched his fists tightly. No matter what, since he had taken charge of this plan, he had to complete it at all costs! This way, he would have more say when he returned to the Robert Family.
In terms of research, Borat couldn't compare to Frenz. This was why his voice in the Robert Family had always been weaker than Frenz's. However, after working with the military, Borat relied on Beaver and Frenz's diplomatic skills to obtain the support of the Eighth Legion and some people in the Robert Family. That was how he obtained the right to carry out a few operations. The first few operations were executed very well, and Borat was the one who discovered this place by accident.
Borat's first thought wasn't to dig out the top-grade energy ores. Although the quality of the energy ores the Robert Family had in reserve couldn't compare to these top-grade energy ores, they had the advantage in quantity. To Borat, the energy ores here were far less attractive than his plan.
Just as Silin and the others thought, Borat was the mastermind behind all this. He was planning to use this opportunity to eradicate some of the powerful forces in Sector V in one fell swoop, and this achievement was enough for him to receive even greater support from the Robert Family and the Eighth Legion when he returned. In fact, he even thought that if he completed his plan well, he might even surpass Frenz and the others and become the new leader of the Robert Family after the situation had stabilized.
However, even though the ideal was good, reality caught Borat off guard. He didn't expect that the Freedom Army would join forces with Silin and the others to come over.
Just like many members of the Robert Family, Borat was a typical stubborn and conceited person. He was overly confident and believed in the abilities of this mechanical army. Borat didn't analyze the Eleventh Squad and what happened before. In Borat's eyes, only this' specter 'could be considered an opponent.
Borat got his subordinates to try and intercept the ten or so screens in the control room that had been taken over, but he realized that it was impossible. The other party had already entered the room, and many of the programs in the system had already been modified and messed up on a large scale. Even if they tried to deal with it, the light screens only flashed twice, and they were unable to erase the white figure.
"Open the secret room!" Borat said to his subordinates.
The secret room was an encrypted area developed by the Robert Family. It was like a secret room in the network. Nothing from the outside could enter it. Normally, the "secret room" would not be opened, and the controllers would be exposed outside. However, once the "secret room" was opened, the controllers would be isolated from the external system.
The opening of the "secret room" could increase security, but at the same time, it also increased limitations. Many functions on the aircraft would be forced to stop. However, Borat didn't care. It was fine as long as they could defend against this' specter '.
Silin observed the situation from the ground. Although he didn't know what was happening inside the aircraft, he could see the dense mechanical language. Through this mechanical language, Silin knew that there was definitely a silent struggle going on inside.
On the Freedom Army's side, Aichenthus looked at the sky and then at Silin's side. He suddenly felt somewhat powerless. At the same time, he was also glad that he called Silin and the others. Otherwise, if they encountered this mechanical army, the people he brought would be far from enough to be slaughtered by the robots. Putting aside the difference in technology, the robots' combat strength was several times higher than his side's. Just looking at the corpses and mechanical wreckage outside the energy shield, it was obvious what would happen if they clashed head-on.
What could they do against such an army? Hide inside the energy shield?
Just as Aichenthus was thinking, Silin looked in a direction. The next moment, a white figure appeared there.
The blue bar on Moon's face flashed. "Whitey, what's going on over there?"
Whitey …
Although they had some thoughts about this name, they didn't say anything. What a joke. Facing this "thing" that was like a specter, who would want to provoke it?
The White Spirit didn't look at Moon. Instead, it stared at the aircraft in the sky and said, "They have isolation measures."
"Then what do we do now?" Kari looked at the robots outside and asked Silin. If they went out like this, they would definitely not have an easy time. Those robots weren't the "slow" ones from before. They could clean up everything in the air in such a short time. If they went out, it would be a tragedy.
Before Silin could answer, Borat's voice came from the loudspeaker on the aircraft in the sky.
"You guys like to hide inside, right? Very well, I'll let you personally experience the Robert Family's mechanical army. Feel what the apocalypse is! Attack! "
Following Borat's order, the robots in the sky and on the ground started attacking the energy shield.
Although they were able to withstand the bullets and cannons, the shockwaves caused by the intense attacks made the people inside feel dizzy. This was especially true for the Freedom Army. They did not have the protection of the Eleventh Squad. The protective suits they wore could only withstand the harsh environment of the planet, not the shockwaves from the shockwaves.
The Freedom Army couldn't hold it in anymore. They shouted that they wanted to go out and fight the metal creatures outside. They would rather go all out than endure this kind of torture inside.
Aichenthus looked at Silin and asked for his opinion. After all, Silin and the others had control of the energy shield. If Silin and the others didn't agree, there was nothing Aichenthus could do unless they fought. However, he didn't want to break the alliance that they had worked so hard to form.
"Let them endure it for a while. Half a minute at most," Silin said.
Silin had Xi Kai and Xi Mu take over the controls. He also had Kari and the others land the fighter.
The people of the Freedom Army were getting more and more irritable. Because of the vibrations of the energy field, there were a lot of charged particles in the air inside the energy shield. The charged particles made them feel uncomfortable, like thousands of needles were poking at their bodies. Their bad temper was triggered. If it wasn't for Akenthus suppressing them, they would have already started fighting.
In this half a minute, Silin and the Eleventh Squad started reorganizing their equipment. The weapons used to deal with the robots were different from the ones used to deal with humans. The bullets used were also different. Clad in armor, Cary and the others walked out of the fighter. Out of habit, Cary installed a shoulder cannon on his shoulder and buckled the foldable wrist blade on his arm. Then, he assembled his gun and stretched his limbs while holding it.
When Aichenthus counted to the twenty-third second, a high-energy beam appeared in the sky. The target wasn't the energy shield they were in, but the robots outside.
They weren't just coming from the sky. They were coming from every direction.
Originally, it shouldn't have taken this long for the robots to arrive from the starship. However, Xi Kai had to spend a little more time to make a better setup.
The Freedom Army was a little stunned. Not long ago, they saw a robot army slaughtering a couple of Sector V's other forces' corps. Now, a similar beam was pointing at the robot army outside the energy shield.
Who is it?
Inside the spaceplane, Borat looked very bad. The spaceplane he was in had been hit a few times, and he nearly fell to the ground just now. It was only after he had his men activate the energy shield that he recovered a little. However, it was only a little.
Since the 'secret room' was open, part of the detector's functions were disabled. It was why they didn't notice the incoming enemies at first notice.
"Are those … robots?!"
Borat's subordinates exclaimed in surprise.
The distant robots were growing closer and closer. Their silvery-white bodies glowed coldly in the dark sky.
Yes, everyone who saw them knew that they were robots. Moreover, the appearance of these robots was similar to the mechanical army that Borat was currently controlling. Some were in the shape of birds, some were in the shape of humans, and some were in the shape of other animals.
"What? Is there anyone else in the League of Stars other than the Robert Family who possesses such a mechanical army?" Inrelson asked next to Aikenthus.
'Blue' looked at Silin's direction and said softly, "This is why they are so mysterious."
The robots on both sides grew closer and closer. The robots that were attacking the energy shield turned their muzzles towards the newcomers. Although the outside didn't look much different, Borat quickly discovered that the new batch of robots were very adaptable. They were more like well-trained soldiers who knew how to line up, cover, and cooperate better. For example, when the robots on his side were concentrating their firepower, a large robot would appear and activate a beam shield. At the same time, the smaller robots around them would swiftly hide behind the beam shield and the large robot. Then, almost at the same time, the robots that were hiding behind the large robot would swiftly change directions and launch a crazy counterattack right after the first round of gunfire.
Such a thing was easy to say, but if combined with the flying speed of those robots, it would be very difficult. Although the robots' programmed commands allowed them to do this, Borat still felt that there was something wrong with these newcomers. He couldn't tell why, but he felt a little annoyed.
While Borat was annoyed, under the watchful eyes of everyone inside the energy shield, the two sides collided.
Borat had always felt that his mechanical army was the best in the League of Stars. The amount of money that the Robert Family had spent on them was enough to make any of the top families in the League of Stars turn their heads. Even the Eighth Army had invested a lot of money into this army.
However, all of Borat's pride was shaken by this brief collision.
A batch of robots was sent flying. Although some stabilized themselves after being knocked back, the large dents on their bodies showed that they had failed. Looking at the other side, even if there were dents, they weren't to a frightening degree. Moreover, they recovered in an extremely short period of time.
Although they were both made of memory alloy, there was a clear difference in the speed at which they rebounded. This wasn't just a problem with the material. It also involved other aspects. Even though Borat wasn't very accomplished in research, he still had some knowledge about robots. From this brief collision, Borat saw too many things.
When a mechanical beast from the Xi Family that looked like an eagle collided with another mechanical beast, it didn't separate from its opponent. Instead, at the moment of contact, it suddenly transformed from an eagle into a python and tightly coiled around the mechanical beast. Many serrated teeth appeared on the python's body, and the teeth carried high-energy lasers. Then, as it coiled around the mechanical beast, it cut the trapped prey into several pieces.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
There were many situations similar to this eagle mechanical beast. They could choose the best method and form based on the opponent they encountered and then 'kill' their prey.
The few small mechanical beasts on the ground also used a similar method to resist. When faced with a large opponent, they quickly gathered together and fused into a large body that was even larger than the opponent. Silin saw the newly assembled big guy that looked like a diamond waving its huge fist and twisting a robot in front of it into two. Then, it nimbly turned around and hammered the guy that was preparing to sneak up on it. The sneak attacker's head was directly smashed by the diamond hammer.
Bang!
Following the shot of a cannonball, a big hole appeared in the chest of the big mechanical king kong. However, it didn't collapse. Instead, it split into a few small mechanical beasts and continued their 'hunting' mission.
"What … is that?" Some of the Freedom Army members were stunned.
Inside the energy shield, Xi Kai put away the micro-controller in his hand. "It's not perfected yet. I can only use rough embryos to fight first."
Xi Kai's tone was regretful, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up to show his pride. Look, even rough embryos are enough to deal with these trash.
After observing the situation for a while, Silin signaled Xi Mu. "Let's move on to the next step."
A while later, several large energy shields appeared around the area where Silin and the others were located. These shields protected the energy ores so that they wouldn't be usable if they were destroyed.
Now that they had released White Night, there was no need for Cillin to stay in this area any longer. He signaled to the Eleventh Squad, and they immediately got ready to work as a team. They had done this many times already, and the newcomers like Mogas and the others had gotten used to it pretty well.
After notifying Alkenthus, Xi Kai closed the large energy barrier outside.
With Xi Kai's robots keeping the Robert Family's mechanical army busy, the Eleventh Squad didn't encounter too many of them.
Kari cheered and rushed out. They were actually quite familiar with dealing with robots. Sometimes, when Shusag wasn't fighting them, Xi Kai would send his robots to spar with him. That was why the Eleventh Squad didn't need to get into battle mode as soon as they entered the battlefield.
However, as he slashed and slashed, Cary saw a monkey-like robot not far away jump sideways and dodge the opponent's shot. When it twisted in the air, it swung its arm and twisted the opponent's neck. Then, using the force of the rotation, it swung its arm again and accelerated when it landed. After drawing an arc, it smashed its opponent hard into the ground.
Both Kari and Shusag's faces twitched at the sight.
Why does this feel so familiar?
It seemed like they had fought like this not long ago in the training room of the starship. However, it was Cary who was flung out of the training room. This time, it was the Robert Family robot who was pinched by the neck and smashed into the ground. This planet's geological structure was quite hard, so a human wouldn't be able to create such a spectacular scene even if all the bones in their body were broken.
Still unsatisfied, Xi Kai's monkey-shaped robot added two more kicks. If it wasn't for another Robert Family robot, Kari had a feeling that the monkey-shaped robot would've used its laser blade to finish off the robot.
Kari didn't know what happened to the robot that got slammed into the ground by the neck, but it didn't get up for a long time. The only thing it could see was the occasional sparks of electricity, which showed how hard it had been.
Huimao didn't want to get involved in this battle. The only thing it cared about was the energy ores. It didn't care how many robots it killed. However, after a small energy ore pile next to it that was not protected by the protective shield was blown up, Lord Cat's hair stood on end.
"Meow! I'm not going crazy! Do you think I'm just here to act cute?!"
Everyone witnessed the scene of a fat, round cat turning into a mighty mechanical beast in the blink of an eye.
Then, the big cat in a berserk state spread its wings and flew into the air. It opened its mouth and roared.
This roar made the people who heard it feel a sharp pain in their eardrums. Even the helmets of the protective suits couldn't stop it.
Huimao's roar wasn't just sound waves. The robots in a large area around Huimao, whether they were from the Robert Family or the new batch of robots made by Xi Kai, all showed signs of slowing down. However, Xi Kai's new robots were much slower than the Robert Family's robots. It was this small difference that caused the Robert Family's robots to suffer a tragedy.
After slapping a few robots away with its wings, Huimao officially began to vent. In terms of speed, not even Xi Kai's new robots were a match for Huimao. Moreover, although the cat wasn't usually very reliable, its brain reacted very quickly during critical moments. Ever since it joined the fray, it had barely been hit once. At most, it was grazed by bullets.
The sight of the gray cat's claw caused Inreinason to shudder again and again. It was because that claw, just a single claw, had hollowed out half the waist of the big guy who had beaten them into such a sorry state.
Inside a spaceplane, Mo Heng poked Xi Kai who was watching the battle outside and asked, "When are you going to build a mech or a mech beast like Cillin's pet?"
Xi Kai curled his lips, but he didn't say anything. His complacent expression had vanished completely.
There was no good or bad without comparison. Compared to the Robert Family's robots, Xi Kai's new robots were undoubtedly superior. However, it was only after Huimao's appearance that Xi Kai's attention shifted from Huimao to Czedow. Oh right, there was also Czedow.
Unlike Huimao's high profile, Czedow had always been like a shadow. His presence was very low, but he had done far too many amazing things when no one was paying attention to him.
Czedow looked like an oddball among the armored and protective suits. He was an oddball that people couldn't help but gasp in amazement. He didn't use a blade. He only used his own hands. He didn't have wings, but his speed wasn't any slower than the robots in the sky. He didn't use any eye-catching energy beams, but too many robots had fallen to the ground wherever he went.
When would they be able to build a robot like this? When would a robot army with every robot of this level be built?
There was still a long way to go.
Mo Heng scratched his white hair and let out a hoarse chuckle when he saw that Xi Kai's mood had gone from high to heavy. Then, he sat back down and continued watching the battle on the monitor. He was getting old, and he would only be able to observe the battlefield from a similar space in the future. However, this didn't mean that he had left the battlefield. He had created fighter aircrafts for Cary and the Eleventh Squad, and he had created improved weapons for them as well. He could empathize with the children who were fighting on the battlefield with such equipment. His heart was no longer young, but his blood still boiled as easily as before.
Silin cut down the robots one by one with his long, thin blade while swallowing his opponents one by one like the king of snakes in a hunting ground.
The robots hit by the Hell Thunder Snake S would explode one after another, and the trio who had been paying attention to Silin noticed it as well. A couple of robots around Silin had been killed before they could even get close to him, and most of them weren't aiming at Silin at all.
Aichenthus recalled the incident on the passenger starship. If a conflict had broken out back then, the three of them would've been the ones to die. Forget Czedow, Cillin alone was enough to send all three of them to hell. Moreover, Aichenthus was sure that the strange gray cat was on the starship at the time.
He was glad that he hadn't made an enemy out of a person like that. Their team was only made up of a handful of people, but they always managed to surprise him.
Our cooperation must continue. This was the firm resolution Aichenthus had made after this experience.
Unlike Aichenthus, Qing's attention was drawn to Silin's blade. Other people might not know the origin of the blade, but Qing did. Her foster father used to be a big shot of Sector V, but he was assassinated later on. From her adoptive father's notebook, she learned about the Star Hunter Oskulos, as well as Oskulos's slender blade.
Indigo was a little suspicious when she saw Cillin take out the blade, but as Cillin cut down the robots one by one, she realized that the blade was a piece of cake for her and the others even though their expensive blades weren't able to do it easily.
That's right, it must be that blade!
Oskulos was killed by someone. The news was spreading throughout Sector V, but no one could come to a conclusion as to who killed Oskulos. Some said it was another Star Rank Hunter, and some said it was a Heavenly Mandate soldier from the military. It was because no one could imagine that someone at their level could be killed by someone else.
But now, Oskulos's blade was in Silin's hands. How could Qing not be shocked?
Who the hell is Silin?!
Other than Xi Kai's mechanical army, the Eleventh Squad and the Freedom Army, spikes, clamps and other traps would pop out of the ground from time to time. They were all controlled by "White Night". A lot of people had come here before, and all of them had perished in this area. Not even their bones were left behind. Right now, their opponents were robots. Even if these traps weren't as effective as they could be, they were still a great help.
On the battlefield, the situation began to tilt. Borat almost pulled out his meticulously groomed hair, but it was useless even if he scratched himself bald. His subordinates had already made arrangements to escape. Borat's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the scenes displayed on the screen. He slapped away his subordinate who came over to persuade him and muttered incoherently.
The subordinate who had been slapped until his mouth was bleeding did not care if he would be slapped again. Together with a few others, they dragged Borat away. Their main mission was to protect Borat. This was a mission given to them by the upper echelons of the race. If Borat died, all of them and their families would be buried with him.
Half an hour later, a disc-shaped spaceship detached from Borat's mother spaceship. Borat was forcefully dragged inside by a few of his core subordinates.
This small spaceship was obviously specially made. The robots outside fired at it, but in the blink of an eye, the spaceship disappeared.
"Damn it, he escaped!" Huimao grabbed a robot that was blocking its way and swallowed it into its mouth as if venting its anger. It chewed hard a few times before spitting out a pile of metal debris.
Seeing this, Xi Kai could not help but smack his forehead. Creating a mechanical beast like this was too damn difficult!
Now that the master had escaped, the remaining soldiers were just cannon fodder. Huimao ignored the robots and rushed into the abandoned mother spaceship to search for valuables.
