974 Setback (1/2)
According to Qi Yunshan, the Human Alliance and the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance had several borders. These borders were now battlefields, and the Devil Galaxy was the most representative of all.
However, in the sector where East Dragon University was, new wormholes had somehow suddenly burst open, causing cosmic lifeforms to emerge from them and attack the rear.
Mobilizing starships on the sneak attacks of these low-level cosmic lifeforms was akin to using cannons to battle mosquitoes. It was not even worth the trouble of transferring the mecha units.
Therefore, they activated the reserve service students from Planet East Dragon and mixed them in with some elites to encircle them.
”Actually… this is similar to a military exercise…” Qi Yunshan was holding a glass of wine inside a large villa. ”There isn't much danger, yet it's possible to obtain merits. I don't need it, but you can apply for it!”
”I don't want to either!” Fang Yuan had no interest in becoming a digit in someone else's army.
Orders from a senior officer were everything on a battlefield. Would Fang Yuan obediently die if he was ordered to do so? What about becoming an enemy to all of human society? Both choices did not seem particularly wonderful.
The possibility was rather low, but that did not mean it was zero, especially when there were still enemies.
”What about Wu Wudi? What is he up to now?” Fang Yuan asked all of a sudden.
”He participated in a certain military department's special recruitment and became a member of a secret unit. He isn't on Planet East Dragon currently…”
Qi Yunshan sighed. ”This person is absolutely an outstanding talent. He stops at nothing and is quite terrifying! Do you know that even though you stopped him from obtaining the Wings of the Sky, he was already prepared and had collected materials in secret to manufacture an Emperor-grade mecha! It's even under construction now…”
”Oh?” That piqued Fang Yuan's interest.
In fact, he knew that this Wu Wudi was certainly the main character in this universe. His luck was superb since he was young, the kind that never stopped.
He would definitely be able to obtain quite a bit of benefits if he were to follow behind him.
Of course, Fang Yuan scorned such petty things. He would start directly and snatch the lucky chances of the Son of the World!
The mecha materials that Wu Wudi has obtained must be rare given his great destiny… Fang Yuan thought. If I can get my hands on them, my mecha would have a general framework and not just stay a concept on paper…
He did not know why, but he suddenly felt a lot of pity for Wu Wudi, collecting all these treasures only to deliver them to him.
”President Qi!” As sympathetic as he was, Fang Yuan did not hesitate one bit. ”Do you know… what materials Wu Wudi has prepared and where he's making the mecha?”
…
With the vast universe as the backdrop, countless mechas soared and confronted the Zerg.
Ya Ge piloted the Black Moon and landed on an earthy yellow planet.
Poof!
The ground split, and a huge Zerg wiggled out.
”Arc Blade!”
The black mecha swung its right hand, and a blade exuding an electric light appeared, slashing horizontally.
The huge Zerg split in the middle, and acid spilled onto the ground, eroding a large hole. The two halves wiggled continuously until they finally became two independent entities.
”Target locked. Laser cannon, fire!”
Ya Ge's expression was grave as the shoulder-mounted laser cannon fired two shots.
Rumble! Rumble!
After two spherical explosions, dust fell, and the Zerg immediately dissipated in smoke.
”This elite Zerg should be the last we missed!” He raised his head and looked around at the students. ”What are you still waiting for? Clean the battlefield!”
”Yes, Sir!”
The many Gundam series saluted as though they were whipped and started moving at lightning speed.
”A wormhole appeared in East Dragon's star sector… And it was actually used by the Zerg to go behind us. Fortunately, only a few of them broke through, and their energy level is very low…”
Ya Ge looked on with a rare sense of loss.
”These temporarily-opened wormholes are very unstable, which is why only some low-level cosmic lifeforms could pass through… equivalent to cannon fodder. But even so, this is a very bad sign! The Cosmic Lifeform Alliance might have mastered wormhole technology earlier than us. It might not be mature yet, but it'll make our future defense very difficult.”
He looked at the students beside him, and he had to admit that even Jonas was too immature. They could even lose their footing when facing Zerg drones.
That elite Zerg would have caused some casualties if he were not here.
”Well… I hope these rookies will grow up quickly after experiencing battle!” Ya Ge sighed and suddenly thought of Lin Meng.
That monster's growth was incredibly fast. It was not necessary for him to accumulate actual combat experience given his judgment and calculation power.
”Sir!” Jonas brought his K9999 in front of Ya Ge. ”I feel like I've improved a lot through actual battle…”
”Improved? Haha…” Ya Ge sneered. ”None of you would survive if this was an actual battlefield!”
”What about Lin Meng?” Jonas could not help himself.
”You're no match for him!”
