Chapter 294: Kyaji’s Death II

The Collision mechs traced graceful archs in the sky with their evasive techniques. Since the mechs lacked long range weapons, Ye Chong had to teach them extensive evasion techniques. It was compulsory training for all Sang family villagers. Their strong bodies allowed them to execute harder evasive moves. A simple turn, when done in three-fourths the time, would double the strain on the body, but its effectiveness in evading attacks could be quadrupled.
Ye Chong had forgotten an important fact. If the enemy did not use their optical scanning systems, they would not be able to detect the Collision mechs, since they were made entirely of skeletons.
The pirates could only see a small and solitary starship.
Sang Tie quickly noticed the enemy’s lack of reaction to them, and figured out why. He still remembered the holographic scanning systems installed in their own mechs, and was surprised to find that the Collisions mechs were undetectable with those scans.
As commander, Sang Tie knew exactly what to do.
Sang Tie relayed new orders for the squad - full speed ahead. All Collisions immediately dived towards the enemy. If anyone were using optical scanning systems, they would see the distressing sight of a thousand strangely built flying vessels flying towards the pirates like a barrier closing in.
Sang Tie did a quick estimation of the distance between them and the pirates.
All Collisions opened up two compartments on their sides.
Sang Tie commanded - drop the bombs!
2000 skeleton-made bombs were launched towards the pirates. Sang Tie only ordered a single wave of bombing. This was not their village, and they were unable to replenish their weapons.
The vicious pirates only saw the lonely starship from afar, like a poor lamb waiting to be eaten, completely oblivious of the incoming attack.
The ensuing spectacle was indescribably grand.
On the holographic screen of the starship, they saw a bright eruption of light from an explosion, as Mi Qi and the rest had to shut their eyes. What a mysterious and terrible explosion! The Mi family trio stared in stupefaction. They could not understand how the pirate crew exploded so suddenly and violently.
The pirates were similarly dumbfounded and shocked when the explosion happened.
After the round of skeleton bombs, the Collision mechs spread out from their barrier formation into 200 squads of five, and launched themselves straight towards the pirate mechs.
”D*mbasses, use your optical scans!” A distinctive voice roared through the comms, cutting through all the noise of confusion. Abruptly, the comms channel quietened down instantly. Everyone heard their leader’s voice.
”Spread out, spread out if you f*cking wanna live!” The thunderous voice roared again.
The pirates quickly gathered themselves and activated their optical scanning systems as they pulled out into a spread out formation.
Inside Kyaji, a man with a cold expression had a hopeless look in his eyes. He knew that the time had come. The other pirates might not realize it, but he had. Knowing that death was imminent, he felt unusually calm, devoid of any fear. He should have died a long time ago, and now, he finally would.
Kyaji’s holographic scanning system was top of the line. He had bought it at a high price, a product of the Xue Lai tribe. Even the Three Aristocratic Families could not hide their mechs so completely from this scanning system. These mechs, however, were entirely hidden from the scans. He was shocked beyond words.
He put his hands gently on the controls. He no longer felt dispirited, but excited, and even eager.
Even if death was unavoidable, he would not give up without a fight!
He tore off his clothes, baring his upper body, and roared at the skies!
An energy beam barely grazed past Sang Tie’s mech. Sang Tie was surprised. This was his first time nearly being hit by an energy beam. His eyes traced the source of the beam, arriving at a bright, crimson mech.
