Chapter 1046: Chapter 784: Ambush
Inside The Soaring Cloud, Lin Hai reported to Lin Yaotian.
“Everything is normal. We are about to exit the core area of the meteorite belt. The journey ahead should be relatively smoother.”
Lin Yaotian’s face was tense, but he just nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
Lin Hai let out a deep breath; when his father was around, he felt like he had to be extra cautious even with his breathing, fearing he might do something wrong.
He somewhat missed the days following his brother, Lin Ming; at least he didn’t have to be so tense.
However, just thinking about seeing them again made him inexplicably excited.
But just then, suddenly, the alarm system of The Soaring Cloud emitted a piercing alarm sound.
“Warning! The Soaring Cloud has been locked onto by the level 5 battleship, Crystal Pattern!”
“Warning! The target is launching an attack!”
Lin Yaotian stood up abruptly, roaring, “Evasion!”
Unfortunately, it was too late. From the distant starry sky, a terrifying beam of light was coming, disintegrating all the meteorites along its path.
Boom!
The beam accurately hit The Soaring Cloud, and a bright light surged upward.
The Soaring Cloud’s energy shield held on for a moment but ultimately collapsed, leaving a massive breach on the hull.
In the control room, Qian Chengxue and the others were all violently shaken, knocked to the ground!
At this moment, all ships within the Five Dragon Head Formation blared piercing alarms. They were just about to search for enemy fleet traces. Suddenly, the floating meteorites around them cracked open, and magnetic storm bombs adhered indiscriminately to the surrounding ships.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ship after ship was hit.
Suddenly, the entire fleet was thrown into chaos.
At this moment, the Crystal Pattern led a large number of fleets to cut into the battlefield from the right side, each ship opening its launch ports, showering a barrage of fire across the sky.
Bombarding the Five Dragon Head Formation indiscriminately!
At this point, Lin Yaotian and Qian Chengxue managed to get back on their feet.
Black warning boxes popped up on the virtual operation screen.
“Warning, The Soaring Cloud’s K34 area severely damaged.”
“Warning, The Soaring Cloud’s K34 area depressurized!”
…
Lin Yaotian looked at each notification, feeling somewhat fortunate. At the critical moment, the ship veered and avoided a direct hit to the engine room. Otherwise, The Soaring Cloud would have been finished. He immediately issued an order.
“Immediately seal off all gates in the K34 area, veer the ship.”
“Understood!”
Lin Yuxin promptly responded.
At this point, Lin Hai exclaimed in shock, “Detected a Pseudo V Generation Mecha, the Bone Eater, along with a large Imperial mobile force, attacking us.”
At this moment, Ye Quan, Wang Ce, and others linked in via video.
“Lin Yaotian, we’ve been ambushed; the enemy are from the Imperial Crystal Pattern fleet!”
They said with extremely grim expressions.
“Dispatch the mobile units to engage, keep the fleet moving forward, don’t stop here; it’s very disadvantageous to us.”
Lin Yaotian quickly made the best judgment. Being ambushed by the Crystal Pattern wasn’t surprising, given their superior performance and radar system.
But they weren’t easy prey, either, with so many escort ships, their opponent couldn’t swallow them in one bite.
Their current sorry state was solely due to being ambushed.
Of course, recklessly fighting was not a wise move, given they still needed to allocate forces to protect the transportation ships, making their position very passive.
“Understood!”
Wang Ce and the others had no unnecessary words.
“Also Wang Ce, have your son-in-law intercept the Bone Eater Mecha; under no circumstances allow it to break into our fleet and cause havoc, which could seriously damage morale.”
Lin Yaotian simultaneously instructed.
“I understand.”
Wang Ce’s old face twitched, responding reluctantly.
Honestly, if possible, he didn’t want Li Ze to confront the Bone Eater Mecha, since Li Ze is just a newly promoted Pseudo V Generation Mecha Driver.
The opponent was a seasoned, infamous expert.
Lin Yaotian seemed to notice Wang Ce’s concerns and spoke up, “Don’t worry, I will personally enter the field and support, he won’t be fighting alone.”
“Alright.”
Wang Ce’s expression eased a bit.
Subsequently, Lin Yaotian ended the communication. He stood up and spoke to Lin Yuxin, “Command the fleet to withdraw from this area as soon as possible.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yuxin nodded emphatically.
At this moment, Qian Chengxue and the others stepped forward.
“Father, we will go with you.”
Lin Yaotian did not refuse, he only said, “Your mechas are inadequate; go intercept other Imperial forces. Do not interfere with the Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha, Bone Eater; that’s an order!”
“Yes!”
Qian Chengxue and the others reluctantly agreed.
…
In the starry sky, the Five Dragon Head fleet continuously released a large number of mechas and interstellar fighters, confronting the attacking Imperial mobile forces.
The fleet accelerated, trying to escape the vortex of war.
After all, the Five Dragon Head fleet was now in an extremely sorry state.
In the Crystal Pattern Command Room, Gugarl sat in the command chair, watching the battle scene before him, his face becoming increasingly fierce.
Like a hunter watching prey in its death throes.
At this moment, an operator reported, “Report, detected a Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha, Red Worm Flying Dragon, within the enemy mobile force.”
Gugarl’s face twisted into a smile; “If I’m not mistaken, this fleet belongs to the Federation, order Gukner to take them down, just right to avenge Ashton!”
“Understood!”
The subordinate next to him quickly responded.
“Speed up the main cannon charging, let them know what it means to be shrouded by death.”
Gugarl’s eyes were filled with confidence.
“Understood!”
…
At this moment, Li Ze piloted the Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha, Red Worm Flying Dragon, his face twitching. It was his first time facing an expert of the same level, and he had no confidence but pressed on with determination.
Gukner locked onto Li Ze in an instant and ferociously piloted the Bone Eater Mecha to attack.
The two mechas clashed instantly!
Boom!
Li Ze suddenly felt his mind go blank as his mecha was thrown backwards.
“Is that all you got? I thought all you Federation guys were experts, but I guess not, die now!”
Gukner laughed when he saw his opponent was merely this strong. He instantly unleashed the frustration in his heart, swinging his chain gun brutally at the Red Worm Flying Dragon.
Li Ze controlled his mecha to lift the particle light blade to block!
Bang!
Particles scattered everywhere.
The whole Pseudo V Generation Mecha, Red Worm Flying Dragon, kept retreating; with each collision, a powerful force was transmitted to Li Ze.
He felt as if he had been hit with a hammer.
Li Ze was undoubtedly being suppressed, and appeared to be in danger.
Just as Li Ze was gasping for air, suddenly a silver long spear with thunderous momentum pierced toward the Bone Eater’s head.
Gukner glanced sideways, activating his AT Field simultaneously!
Crack!
A charged strike from Lin Yaotian was effortlessly intercepted, but the Bone Eater Mecha’s stance barrier showed considerable distortion, indicating the force’s intensity.
