Ye Chong and Mu did not meet anyone idling around along the way. Everyone stood at their appointed stations dutifully. All non-combatants were sent to the safe room to avoid harm.
There were many flight runways available on Sabre, and that was convenient for Ye Chong.
As the mechs from both sides engaged, Sabre’s mechs immediately took heavy damage. The enemy’s mechs Nanowaves fired from their flexible ivory-white Javelin Angel-Vs, coupled with an impressive auto lock-on system that even Black Cove mechs found difficult to evade unleashed its full destructive powers on the enemy. The forty two Messengers all fired once, and forty mechs from the other side perished as a result, leaving only two mechs that escaped their assault.
Such terrifying aim and powerful guns caused instant turmoil amongst the mechs from Sabre.
At the bridge onboard Sabre, everyone stared in shocked, their faces paled as though the world was ending before their eyes. Captain Hatik’s pained expression was twisted horribly, but he quickly gave the order in his hoarse voice. ”Squads Two, Three and Four combatants, initiate attack!”
If they ceased to attack now, the remaining mechs would quickly be overwhelmed. Captain Hatik could only hope to use their numbers to his advantage, and so he put all his hopes on this last gamble!
Everyone onboard the ship understood their fates. When the enemy used a warship against them, it implied that they had no intention of leaving anyone alive. If news of their warship was leaked, the enemy would have to face the united forces of the Five Galaxies. No matter how powerful the enemy was, the result was definitely fatal. Surely the enemy would think the same!
Captain Hatik turned to his communications officer and asked, ”Well? Any signals yet?”
The officer was on the verge of crying, looking hopeless. ”None! Captain, I believe we’re done for!”
Captain Hatik felt his chest tighten, but he maintained his calm expression and patted the officer on the back and said determinedly, ”Don’t give up, continue reaching out! We will prevail! Don’t worry! I will bring you all home!”
The officer pulled himself together and nodded clearly, ”Yes! Captain!” and continued on with his work, repeating his efforts of trying to communicate with the outside world.
Captain Hatik, however, was feeling a little dismal! Can one truly control one’s own fate?
Ye Chong had just exited the flight runway when Captain Hatik gave the order for the supporting forces!
The first squad of combatants knew that they were no match for the opponent, and could only desperately buy time for support. Hence, an array of impressive evading skills were continuously employed in the small battlefield, and the battle was turned into a mass demonstration of evasion tricks!
However, the results were apparent, as the rate of mechs lost was reducing quickly.
The sight of three hundred over mechs launching together was an incredible sight! Even the ever steadfast Ye Chong could not help but feel a rush of excitement! Yu Di and Mu flew amongst the three hundred over mechs, inconspicuous to the ignorant!
However, this was obviously not the time for Ye Chong to be overexcited. He must familiarize himself with Yu Di, a gift from Fred, before he entered the range of the enemy’s attacks!
Yu Di’s every component was designed and made by Fred the Great himself, most of them very different from the component models found commonly in the market. Fortunately, Ye Chong was knowledgeable in mech modifications, and even if he did not know the exact models used, a few trials and errors was enough for him to have a rough understanding of the mech!
The mech’s engines were definitely top of the line. Sitting in the mech, Ye Chong could feel the powerful surge from the mech’s engines, surpassing even the capabilities of Harmony of the Winter Aria. ”As expected of a master,” thought Ye Chong respectfully. One should understand that the most difficult component to modify in a mech was its engines, since technology in engine designs were already mature. To modify even a small part of an engine was an incredible feat, much less redesigning an entirely new model! Besides, this engine model performed wonderfully!
Yu Di’s most eye-catching feature was definitely its four hands. These four mechanical hands were well designed, with a range of motion that surprised even Ye Chong. The hands moved like the tentacles of an octopus, and even the weapons equipped for them were thoughtful.
One hand held a shield, and without any experience with it, Ye Chong did not know its capabilities, as he dared not attempt to test it in the current battle. Another hand clutched a spear, its head made of laser beams. The laser spearhead could even be launched as a weapon, but as for its effectiveness, Ye Chong was equally ignorant.
