Chapter 270: A Battle to Fame
it was like having a head start; the space for manipulation was immense.As a nobody, reading novels was his biggest hobby. He loved stories about weaklings turning the tables and getting revenge. As...At the same time Lei Yao heard Ian's warning, she shot out of his dantian, instantly growing in size to stand behind the purple mecha. She firmly absorbed the attack, and one-third of her dantian's spiritual energy was consumed as a result.
"Tsk, as expected, the cultivation of a Yuan Ying stage is still not enough to see."
The ripples had already taken out a piece of spirit marrow from the storage space and started to recover its spiritual power. The mech controlled by divine consciousness had turned around, gripping the giant sword that flickered with lightning.
Because of the previous strike, all the mechs engaged in battle around them retreated slightly. Leo also knew that he had encountered a tough opponent today.
That single hand wielding mental energy to control the sword, even he might not be able to do it better than that opponent. On this remote satellite, when did such a powerful figure appear
Leo would naturally not diminish his own presence. He immediately drew his sword and charged, vowing to end the opponent.
"Hongtu! Are you alright"
Ou-Yang anxiously asked.
"Teacher, I'm fine, I can handle it."
"I'll be right there to support you!"
Ouyang manipulated the mecha to increase its attack intensity, violently solving the surrounding pirates. Then he came to the perimeter of Du Hongtu and the black pirate mecha's battle circle, ready to intervene at any time.
"Teacher, please help me watch the perimeter. Don't let the star pirates sneak up on me from behind!"
Seeing Master OuYang's mecha charging over, Lian Yi immediately said.
"Hongtu, you'd best find a way to get out of this. I'll take care of this person."
Of course, Ou-Yang would not agree to his students taking such a risk.
"Teacher, I want to too! But this fellow just won't let me out of the battle."
While replying to Teacher OuYang, LianYi continued fighting the black mecha without delay.
Her Lei Yao Sword was not comparable to the swords equipped on these mechas, so after clashing dozens of times, the opponent seemed to realize the difference and quickly changed tactics, using his long sword and energy cannons in a pincer attack against Lianyi.
Ripple learned from the best, her beam cannon was as powerful as those found at a stationary base, far exceeding the capabilities of standard mech-suits' beam cannons.
Two mechs battled, you with your sword and I with my cannon. The fight was fierce, neither gaining an upper hand. But as the battle raged on, OuYang noticed something different.
The black mecha is likely the ringleader of the space pirates, so to avoid accidental harm, the other pirate mechas dare not step forward to assist. They can only make way and even avoid the area where the black mecha is located.
Hongtu seized this point. During the gap in combat with the black mechs, they exploited the missed attacks of the two opponents, eliminating the Star Pirates' mechs little by little. Since most of the Star Pirates' mechs were looted and varied greatly, Hongtu easily distinguished them and launched precise attacks one after another.
"Attention all mechanized infantry, please avoid the combat zones of black and purple mechs."
"Received!"
The ground mecha soldiers immediately obeyed orders. They weren't keen on getting close in the first place; those two were too ruthless, and they didn't have the skills to match them. Better save their strength for fighting other space pirates!
Leo also discovered the problem at this time, enraged. The other party had actually used him to kill his own people, truly cunning and treacherous. Immediately, he took advantage of his heavy mech's power and charged forward, wanting to engage in close combat.
The ripples wouldn't stand a chance against such a behemoth. She moved her consciousness, and the mecha Rayi performed a backflip in the starry sky, dodging the black mecha's charge while its Lei Yao flashed with purple lightning, slicing across the black mecha's body.
As the ripples landed, she also casually drew a purple sword light, repelling the Star Pirates who came to rescue. Teacher OuYang also quickly arrived beside Lian Ri.
Another group of space pirates rushed forward, blocking Ripple and Ou Yang's path. The pirates behind them dragged the half-destroyed black heavy mech and started to retreat.
"Teacher OuYang, they're starting to retreat. How many of us should stay behind Tomorrow we'll have fewer enemies."
After finishing, the purple mecha leaped into the group of mechas blocking its path and began a new wave of reaping. Ouyang twitched his mouth at the sight, could only accelerate, then rushed past as well. He had to back up his disciples.
Because reinforcements arrived, the battle ultimately ended with the pirates' active retreat.
Once all the mecha soldiers had withdrawn to their barracks, Ripple was taken by Ou Yang to meet Brigadier General Naye.
The mecha division commander sent by the SFWL came to meet Major Niles, and both sides communicated, roughly understanding the current situation of the garrison. The commander then arranged for someone to fire signal flares, hoping to expedite the arrival of the second batch of reinforcements.
After the ripples were taken back by OuYang, he was greeted by cheers from his classmates.
"You are amazing!"
"We all saw that, your swordsmanship was amazing!"
"Your battle strategy is amazing! Utilizing their own brutality to eliminate themselves is very worthy of reference!"
"How are Captain Sean and the others doing"
"
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Everyone buzzed around the ripples, asking questions nonstop.
After patiently answering everyone's questions one by one, Ripples asked them:
How are you all doing
"Not bad! It's just a little tiring, I've been working on the mechs almost non-stop. After you left, we basically lived in the hangar. I haven't showered in seven days and I feel like I stink."
Anne frowned first, "
Afterward, a group of people followed Ripple to their residence. Having repelled the space pirates today, they decided to reward themselves with an hour of rest time to catch some sleep or take a bath.
Kate stayed behind, and she clasped hands with Ripple. Their hands finally clasped tightly together.
"Thanks for your hard work, Captain!"
"You've worked hard too!"
After a brief exchange, they saw Hill staring at them longingly.
"Hill, do you have any other questions"
"When will I be as good as you"
Hill asked sincerely, he felt that if he had this real skill, he might be able to break through and escape, making the pirates' plans fall through.
"Your forte is not in mecha combat, so don't use me as a benchmark. You should focus on your strengths."
Ripple smiled and said.
"If I had your skills, I could break out of here and at least draw away these space pirates, relieving the pressure on the garrison."
Hill said stubbornly.
Ripples' lips twitched. She didn't want to tell Hill that if he really left with the breakout team, there wouldn't be a good outcome. The Star Pirates were ambushing them, waiting for him to walk right into their trap!
Leo, who had been rescued and bandaged his wounds, was furious.
"Are all the ambushes and traps dead Why haven't we received any news Where did those reinforcements come from We set up an interception line at QSWL planet, didn't we Didn't it work"
"Report, Commander. It was our negligence. The ambush on the other side of ZJWL star was wiped out, so we failed to relay the news. Those ambushing on QSWL planet haven't encountered anyone going for reinforcements and are still in place."
"Fool! That important hostage should have already escaped!"
Leo was furious. He'd paid such a high price, and now the target had slipped right through their fingers. He was about to explode.
"Contact them and tell them we can't complete this deal, we're pulling out!". After laying down the bedding, the whole family started a fire and cooked a pot of dried vegetable congee. Then they soaked the flatbread and ate a warm meal. With something in their stomachs, they...
