The chaotic day was only an hour away, but at 23 o 'clock, Baiyi, as the Emperor of the Empire, gave the order to attack.
The order was quickly relayed to the Shensha Empire. Two of the newest spaceships, HMS Glory and HMS Glory, had secretly entered the Shensha Empire's territory an hour ago with their epochal stealth capabilities and had already arrived at their respective attack positions. Beside the two spaceships, there were three Hope-class destroyers and three Rohlserl-class frigates acting as escorts. With the spaceships' stealth field, the two fleets would not be discovered in the night sky.
"His Majesty's order has arrived. Execute the plan immediately!" Attie, the Captain of HMS Splendor, the former Kitty Cat Maid, gave the order. Two years ago, she had quit her job as a Kitty Cat Maid and joined the military. With her talent and hard work, she had risen through the ranks, and two years later, she had successfully become the captain of the newest spacecrafts.
Although the media had always slandered her for being Baiyi's mistress, she had only been able to rise through the ranks so quickly because of the Emperor's secret support. They even used this as an excuse to accuse the Emperor of nepotism … However, the Emperor himself refuted this statement, stating that he had always been fair and just and would never do such a thing.
The next day, the media company that had spread the rumors was punished, and all the related personnel were arrested. The entire organization was annexed by another media giant, and there was insufficient evidence to prove that the Second Queen was involved in the annexation.
Just like that, the Kitty Cat Maid had become the Kitty Cat Captain. However, for the sake of maintaining her authority, she no longer looked like a little girl. Instead, she was a tall, slender, and beautiful woman. She wore a well-ironed military uniform, a skirt, and a pair of white stockings that contrasted sharply with her skin tone. She looked valiant and heroic.
Other than a certain part of her body that was still on par with Mia's, Attie had changed a lot. Even the cat ear hairpin, which she had loved since she was a child, had been carefully stored away. She would never bring it to the bridge.
Unfortunately, the new Attie was not as convincing as before. Perhaps it was because she was still young and beautiful, or perhaps it was because a certain part of her body was not fully developed, which prevented the ship from swaying. Or was it because she did not know how to do splits in the air? In short, Attie urgently needed a victory to prove herself, and this was the best opportunity.
She had made ample preparations for the upcoming battle. Not only did she plan the battle herself, she even brought the War God's Sword with her, which she hid under her skirt. If something went wrong, she could pull out the War God's Sword and rush out to annihilate the enemy. After all, she had Baiyi's limitless power to back her up. With the War God's Sword in her hand, she would be invincible in a battle like this.
Following Attie's command, the Radiance's low alarm sounded. The mages who were waiting in the garage quickly mounted the mobile armors on their backs. As the energy cores operated, the armors completely enveloped the mages, turning them into two-meter-tall iron giants. All sorts of armors extended from their arms and backs. Finally, a - _ - shaped visor was placed on the mages' faces, and the eyes glowed red.
"Team One, please enter the ejection area immediately. I repeat, Team One, please enter the ejection area immediately." The next order was relayed through the broadcast. A pale gold power armor raised its right arm high as if showing off the rose paint on its arm.
"Team Rose! Follow me!" The power armor said in a muffled voice. He lifted the weapon that looked like a tomahawk, a spear, but it was actually a staff. He led the way to the ejection area.
Behind him, the five light blue armors also picked up their weapons and kept up with his pace. But one of them seemed to be stumbling as if it was not used to the latest model of power armor.
"Scar, go help that backdoor entrant!" The pale gold captain switched to the team's internal channel and snapped.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I'm fine. I'm just not used to this latest model. It's a little too nimble …" the power armor explained in a low voice. "Also, I'm sorry. I'm not a backdoor entrant. My name is Andy. I joined the Rose Squad on my own! I relied on that Fantasy Greatsword, Skyfiend … "
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry, kid. We all know you're not a backdoor entrant. That armor teacher of yours is His Majesty's best friend. I should call you Mr. Dignitary!" The teammate with the code name Scar interrupted him in annoyance. He grabbed his armor and dragged him into the ejection zone.
"Alright, we're ready. Give us a victory sign!" the captain ordered. He then raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up.
The gesture was initially used by sorcerers to signal to the command center that everything was ready. However, for some reason, it became a victory sign. Every team would give a thumbs up to their comrades before they set off to battle, to show that they would win the battle.
"Team One has been completed. Entering countdown for ejection. The glory belongs to our Emperor!" The captain took the lead and shouted.
"The glory belongs to His Majesty!" his teammates replied.
Andy, who was participating in a real battle for the first time, was a little nervous. Even with the protection of his powerful armor, his body was still trembling. Half of it was nervousness, and the other half was excitement.
Teacher, please wait for me to bring you glory! The Fantasy Greatsword that you taught me will shine on the battlefield! Andy thought to his teacher, Mr. Sorry, who was also Baiyi's workmate back in the day.
Then, in the next second, the countdown ended. He suddenly felt as if he had been stuffed with a cannonball, and his body fell rapidly. Even though he had experienced ejection many times during training, the sudden attack of gravity almost made him pass out, and there was a roar in his ears.
The so-called ejection was to use the mages in the armor as cannonballs and launch them directly. When they were about to land, the armor would automatically activate the buffer program, allowing them to instantly land from the sky at a super high speed of Mach 2.
This kind of speed was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand. But fortunately, Andy was once a warrior, and had a strong physique that did not lose to a mage. He only needed to slow down for a while to recover, and he could also hear the excited roars of his teammates.
This ejection method, which could torment a normal person to death, was nothing but a thrill for the Empire's sorcerers. They even teased him. "Hey, newbie. You didn't pass out, did you? "
"S — sorry, I'm fine," Andy replied quickly.
"Haha, even though you're a half-baked sorcerer, your body is quite sturdy. Congratulations on passing the first stage. I hope you don't wet your pants from now on. "
As soon as he finished his sentence, Andy felt the armor suddenly turn around, reversing its posture in the air. The buffering program was activated, and the armor came to a sudden stop. The G force from the sudden stop almost made him vomit. Almost as soon as his feet touched the ground, he lay on the ground and coughed violently.
"D * mn it! Do you know where this is? You're going to get us killed! " The teammate with the code name Scar cursed and quickly dragged Andy to the side. He pressed a button on the back of the armor from the outside. Andy then felt a pain in his neck, as if he had been injected with something, and the discomfort in his body disappeared in an instant.
"Tsk tsk, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have adjusted his armor in private. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so bad," another teammate said. The staff in his hand looked like a sniper rifle. He immediately picked it up and looked around with the scope on it. He then said, "But fortunately, it didn't cause any trouble."
In a situation where they were deep in the enemy's territory, they knew how to carefully use optical equipment to observe instead of recklessly using their mental power. This showed that this person was also an experienced veteran. In today's environment where reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance methods were extremely developed, recklessly releasing mental power was tantamount to directly knocking on the enemy's door and greeting them.
"Fortunately, you didn't replace his inhibitors," Scar said, a little amused.
Elite teams like the Rose Squad, who had been through hundreds of battles, naturally looked down on things like inhibitors that were specially prepared for new recruits. Moreover, they had always believed that inhibitors would reduce their own reflexes and intelligence, so they stubbornly resisted it. They even secretly modified their armor. Otherwise, in Andy's previous situation, the inhibitors would have been automatically injected.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's move. Scar will be the vanguard, One-eye will knock down the observation post, Fatty and Shorty, prepare the fireworks, and Backdoor, you follow me," the captain gave a simple and direct order.
Scarface immediately broke his staff into two, turning it into two two-handed swords. The one with the long staff quickly climbed up to a high vantage point like a monkey. The two called Fatty and Shorty took out two things that looked like explosives from their armors and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
This team, including the new recruit, only had six people. They had to face a full military camp and as many as 20,000 enemies. Even if they had fire support from the air after the operation began, they would still be in danger if they moved around below.
