Chapter 328: 158 Queen locked! [Extra updates! Vote for more!]_2

Yang Ming said coldly as the cockpit closed, Fierce Ghost Mecha No.1 began to run forward, the Light Blade once again ejecting a scorching ion beam.

Back to the battlefield.

...

Captain Griss was feeling restless now.

How the hell had his name been exposed? Was the White Ghost really that miraculous? Did this guy have extremely high clearance for classified information?

Could he be part of the royal family?

"Boss! There’s a group of special insects!"

"Mark them. Let the ship’s guns take care of it. Don’t leave the designated area! Careful not to be blasted by the ship’s guns!"

"Ha ha ha! Yes! They’re marked!"

Griss, with his jetpack, was flitting left and right, surrounded by swirling alloy blades. His suit of light personal armor incorporated the most cutting-edge military craft of the Sherman Empire.

There were a total of thirteen members in Captain Griss’s squad, with an even mix of men and women;

eight of them were biological transformed people—dressed in exoskeleton armor, wielding high-performance Light Swords, the eight muscular men and women vigorously swinging their blades at the insects.

Four were mechanical transformed people, some of their limbs replaced with metal prostheses of various designs, each skilled in different combat methods, mainly for fire control and support, capable of simultaneously manipulating dozens or hundreds of combat armors.

Captain Griss was the only ’regularly enhanced’ warrior in the team.

His physical abilities were not on par with those of the biological transformed people, but he could skillfully control various kinds of armor.

His sensitivity to the Fire Control System wasn’t as good as that of the mechanical transformed people, but his ability to control the battle situation and his outstanding tactical level perfectly compensated for this deficiency.

He was the absolute core of the team, and his orders would receive the unconditional support of the team members, as those orders had saved them from death many times over.

But today, Captain Griss was about to face the greatest challenge to his squad’s authority.

"What? I’m supposed to command the White Ghost? He doesn’t look like he’s going to take orders from me."

In the midst of the fierce fight, Griss turned to glance at the fiery red Mecha speeding towards them and quickly responded:

"Understood, General. I’ll coordinate as much as possible."

At that moment, Yang Ming proactively sent a voice invitation request, and amidst the chaos, Captain Griss pulled Yang Ming into the squad’s voice channel.

"Good," said Yang Ming, "I’ve located the queen. Now, follow my command."

Captain Griss:...

Before he could speak, a bunch of team members had already responded:

"Yes, Mr. Ghost!"

"Mr. Ghost, did you develop this Mecha yourself? It’s so cool! Can I take it for a spin after the fight?"

"Thank you for exposing the New Federation’s plan to plant insects."

"I can provide you with fire support, sir."

Yang Ming simply acknowledged.

The fiery red Mecha swept past Captain Griss, who was hovering in the air, its Light Blade slicing horizontally, and the Insect Swarm quickly dispersed. The twelve team members instinctively followed suit, demonstrating an impressive level of unity and coordination.

Captain Griss’s blond hair flickered as he couldn’t help but turn his head to see the scene unfolding before him.

Those were his damn team members!

His jetpack blasting flames, Captain Griss quickly caught up to Yang Ming’s shoulder and, taking advantage of the moment Yang Ming was silent, began issuing movement orders.

The battle-hardened warrior’s competitive spirit was clearly ignited. The weapons in his hand kept changing, Light Swords, cannons ready for anything, moving back and forth beside the fiery red Mecha, momentarily stealing the spotlight.

A few minutes later,

Captain Griss had to rush back to the rear base to change his jetpack.

Using energy too quickly was also a problem.

The battle plan was quickly distributed.

"The queen’s location is confirmed," General Thomas’s voice came directly through the squad’s voice channel, "Your team will immediately prepare. If the air attack fails, we will resort to a ground assault. Your team will act as the Spearhead Team for this operation."

"Understood, General!"

Captain Griss responded loudly.

"Hmm," General Thomas asked uncertainly, "Mr. Ghost, what do you think?"

"Bombard and see."

General Thomas immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Captain Griss silently clutched his chest.

There, it hurt.

The air raid erupted two minutes later.

The main cannons of more than twenty battleships targeted the edge of a large city near landing zone three. Thick ion beams fell from the sky, the ground melted, nuclear fusion reactions creating massive mushroom clouds, hot blasts tossing swarms of insects throughout the area.

But as the light dispersed, a thin layer of light membrane appeared on the ground.

Irregular ’craters’ formed on the land, and at the bottom of the craters, Shield Beetles were melted into dark layers of rock.

The ’crater walls’ on all sides were simultaneously pushed open, and swarms of the Insect Race rushed up frantically.

Thousands of pale golden Insects emerged from the ground, quickly formed patterns in the air, their abdomens flashing lights simultaneously, a solid Protection Shield materializing above the ’craters.’

The battleship fired again.

The shield formed by the pale golden Insects was incredibly stable.

But this meant that the Insect Queen was trapped below and couldn’t easily change position.

Yang Ming felt it.

The queen, in panic, bit into the neck of a drone beside her.

Forced evolution!

In the team’s voice channel, Yang Ming heard a female team member cry out:

"These golden ones are Fourth Rank insects! Extreme Shield Insects standard for the Insect Race Battleships! Damn, this queen is about to reach Fourth Rank! These Personal Guard Insects are forming shields by sacrificing their Life force!"

"Are they about to bring out a fleet?"

"That’s too close to the main city area. The ships can’t fire at full power. The attack just now was already the calculated limit, otherwise, seven or eight million humans in that city area would be directly annihilated."
