Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Please (Extra for Alliance Leader Dreaming of Flowing Fire) (Fifth Update)
The type IV lord-level newborn Chilami (unnamed) immediately opened its mouth, storing up a black beam that swept across.
Boom!
The mechs around it burst open like firecrackers!
"Dammit!"
Two third-year students charged up in their raiders, with spiral long spears piercing through.
Crack!
The long spears stabbed into the AT field barrier without any effect.
The type IV lord-level Chilami swiped with a claw, directly tearing apart the two raiders in front of it.
"It’s the type IV lord-level Chilami. Oliver, we need to intercept it; other mechas can’t do anything against it."
Begfin’s facial expression changed slightly as he spoke.
If it were at the general level, he wouldn’t be so concerned, and a one-on-one fight wouldn’t be much of a problem. But unexpectedly, it was at the lord level; fortunately, he wasn’t fighting alone, so it wasn’t a big issue.
"Okay!"
Oliver responded immediately.
The two of them, controlling their mechas, rushed towards the type IV lord-level Chilami from both sides.
The type IV lord-level Chilami’s crimson eyes lit up, and the AT field was fully deployed.
Crack
The particle light swords in Oliver’s hands slashed at the AT field barrier, causing the entire barrier to deform violently.
The type IV lord-level Chilami immediately opened its mouth, storing up a black beam that swept towards Oliver and his companion.
The two immediately controlled their mechas to dodge.
The type IV lord-level Chilami charged straight at Begfin, sweeping its claw towards him.
Begfin raised the two particle light swords in his hands, crossing them to block!
Bang~
The entire mecha was sent flying backward, the difference in strength was quite clear.
However, luckily for Begfin, he was not fighting alone; a squadron of Wind Chaser mechas charged forward, unleashing beams of light toward the type IV lord-level Chilami.
Boom boom boom~
Although the type IV lord-level Chilami’s AT field barrier withstood the attack, it was enraged.
It furiously rushed at a Wind Chaser, but at that moment, Oliver attacked from behind, swinging his particle light blade at the type IV lord-level Chilami.
The type IV lord-level Chilami immediately turned and raised its claw to block!
Crack!
The two collided, sparks flying everywhere.
Su Ming and the others watched the battle from afar, completely unable to join in.
"It’s terrifying. Third-generation mechas seem like cannon fodder; they’re entirely ineffective."
Qin Feng exclaimed in astonishment.
"Indeed."
Su Ming, observing the battlefield scene before him, was also deeply shocked. The higher the generation, the greater the disparity; the gap between the third and fourth generations was truly despair-inducing.
"Class rep, do we go up or not?"
Zhang Yi swallowed hard and asked.
"Go up. How could we not? But attack from the farthest distance possible, and don’t get targeted."
Su Ming let out a deep breath and then led the others forward to look for an opportunity to strike.
Inside the Dhumu Mother Ship’s command room.
Bilado reported to Commander Irelia.
"The main cannon is fully cooled down!"
"Charge it to full power!"
Commander Irelia, without any hesitation, stared at the type IV lord-level Chilami that was being held at bay.
"Yes, ma’am!"
Bilado and the others immediately executed the command.
Soon, the main cannon of the Dhumu lit up again, with the charging progress steadily rising.
"5%, 10%..."
Commander Irelia waited quietly; soon the charge reached 60%.
She looked up, her eyes flickering, and then gave the command.
"Adjust the ship’s bow by +0.3 degrees!"
"Adjustment complete!"
...
The operator responded immediately.
At this moment, Commander Irelia input a string of data, manually locking onto the type IV lord-level Chilami. Then, over the communication channel, she spoke to Begfin and the others.
"Dodge!"
Begfin and his companion, who were engaged in combat with the type IV lord-level Chilami, had a slight change in their expressions and immediately controlled their mechas to dodge to both sides.
Just then, the main gun of the Dhumu fired instantaneously.
A dazzling beam tore through the starry sky, striking directly at the type IV lord-level Chilami.
The type IV lord-level Chilami abruptly turned its head towards the incoming beam, and before it could react, it was engulfed by the beam.
"Nice shot! It got hit by the main cannon; let’s see if it survives."
Cheers erupted over the public communication channel.
Inside the command room, many operators also broke into applause, the strike was indeed perfect.
However, at that moment, the scanning devices suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.
Commander Irelia was startled and turned to look at the scanning screen, then she saw that on both sides of the scanning screen, the entire area had turned red.
At this moment, the piercing alarm sounds of Su Ming and others’ mechas rang out.
Everyone was startled, turning their gaze to the distant starry sky.
They saw Chilami forces appear on both sides of the starry sky, each group coiling around each other, striking like apocalyptic tornadoes.
Before Commander Irelia could react, the heads of the two apocalyptic tornadoes extended four bony tips, with the points flashing terrifying black lightning, and then a terrifying black sphere condensed at the center.
Zzzt!
In an instant, two Kais Beams struck the Dhumu Mother Ship.
In the command room, Bilado shouted in horror.
"We can’t dodge it!"
"Maximize the Energy Barrier output, angle the bow to the right, get ready for impact!"
Irelia was taken aback, immediately issuing the command.
Boom~
The first beam instantly hit the Energy Barrier, which shattered thunderously.
The second one struck the left side of the Dhumu Mother Ship in an instant.
A mini sun rose instantly.
The entire Dhumu shook violently, with many in the command room being thrown to the ground. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Mother Ship, damn it!"
Begfin twisted his head, looking toward the ambushed Mother Ship, filled with shock and rage.
However, at that moment, a Type IV Lord-level Chilami, with its biological tissues charred, red eyes lighting up, buzzed and made a beeline for Begfin.
Begfin was startled and quickly dodged aside.
But the Type IV Lord-level Chilami chased after Begfin like a rabid dog.
Oliver was about to step in to help when Begfin immediately shouted at him.
"Don’t mind me, organize the mecha troops to intercept those two reinforcements!"
"Understood!"
Oliver responded immediately.
At this point, Su Ming and the others, looking at Chilami forces that were like apocalyptic tornadoes, felt their scalps tingle to the extreme.
"Squad leader, how can we fight this? There’s absolutely no match in numbers."
Rhein and others were dumbfounded.
"We can’t just run away, either."
Su Ming felt helpless too, as this group war was just too ridiculous; the forces were on completely different levels.
That’s when Oliver’s voice came through the communication channel.
"Everyone, come to me, get ready to intercept!"
"Yes!"
Everyone snapped back to attention and converged towards Oliver.
At this time, in the Mother Ship command room, the piercing alarm continued to sound incessantly.
One after another, the operators struggled up from the ground and resumed their positions.
On the operation screens, one red warning box after another popped up.
"Warning: Damage in Sector C2."
"Warning: Main circuit DSR29 damaged."
"Warning: Mother Ship damage level has risen to 31%."
...
"Commander, what do we do now? The enemy’s reinforcement troops will arrive soon."
Bilado looked towards Irelia and asked anxiously.
Irelia looked at the damaged Mother Ship and then at the red dots on the scanning screen, her expression revealing complex emotions.
She took a deep breath and then spoke.
"Get me connected to all members!"
"Uh, yes."
Bilado was also startled, but he immediately complied.
Soon all communications were connected, and everyone looked towards Irelia.
At this moment, Irelia’s eyes became very determined, and she addressed all members.
"Everyone, I am the Commander-in-Chief Irelia. I regret to inform you all that the Dhumu Mother Ship, due to the previous Chilami attack, has sustained severe damage, and its maneuverability and combat effectiveness have been severely impaired! And as you all can see, two Chilami reinforcements are about to enter the battlefield, with numbers reaching a staggering level, and we have no chance of victory! Therefore, I’ve decided to abandon the Mother Ship and use the Third Generation Battleships Wind Shadow and Rock Shield to break through. But the enemy won’t let us break through so easily. I need some to stay behind to intercept."
Su Ming and the others felt very heavy-hearted upon hearing this, not expecting the battle to turn out this way so soon.
"I am well aware of your feelings at this moment. If this were a real battlefield, I would never abandon any of you and would fight side by side with everyone to the very end. But this is a league match, and we must win at all costs. Therefore, freshmen, I am counting on you!"
Irelia spoke earnestly to Su Ming and the other first-year new students.
For a moment, the communication channel fell silent as the sophomores and juniors grappled with the implication that the freshmen were being asked to sacrifice themselves to buy them time.
"It’s our honor. The seniors have already paved the way for us. Now it’s our turn to fight for our seniors. Am I right, everyone?"
Su Ming spoke in the public channel.
"That’s right, it’s our turn now!"
"We’re not pushovers!"
"The rest is up to you, be sure to win!"
...
Voices rose one after another in the public communication channel.
Oliver and the others, listening to the passionate voices of many juniors, were also moved.
It was as if they saw once more comrades-in-arms who had been prepared to face death on the battlefield.
"We will live up to your expectations, thank you! Now pass on my command, the Dhumu Mother Ship, except for a few remaining operators, all other personnel must immediately transfer to the Third Generation Battleships Wind Shadow and Rock Shield. All personnel ready for the breakout, assemble and prepare to break through..."
Irelia sincerely thanked her juniors and sisters before issuing a series of crisp and clear commands.
