Chapter 661: Chapter 554: Encirclement on All Sides
The Storm Princess screamed as a spear pierced through her smooth thigh, bleeding profusely.
She immediately whipped up a fierce wind, forcing Pan Ruiyi to pull out the spear. Pan Ruiyi’s body was too big, too heavy, making it extremely difficult to maintain balance, and in an instant, she started plummeting downward.
Unit 101 was completely drained of Magic Power, the whole person dizzied, the depleted Magic Circuit turning into branding irons that pierced through the entire body, causing intense internal pain.
The Storm Princess then raised a tempest and hastily retreated towards the Baraya, no longer able to continue the fight.
Unit 102, seeing her sister and Pan Ruiyi fall into the sea, immediately flew over and plunged into the water, first lifting Unit 101 from the swirling current, then pulling Pan Ruiyi to the surface.
"The Storm Princess retreated?" Pan Ruiyi couldn’t spot the Storm Princess anywhere.
"She’s gone." Unit 102, dragging Pan Ruiyi and Unit 101, swam vigorously across the sea’s surface.
With their Armor’s propeller fuel nearly depleted, Unit 102 looked back on the battle that chased after the Storm Princess. Reviewing the statistical report, she found that she had crossed the battlefield back and forth in search of and to kill the Storm Princess, covering a distance of up to 117 miles.
In the distance, three Warships continued to advance.
The most shocking was the Yokozuna, now in the final stages of melting, unrecognizable as a Warship from its appearance. It was more like a metal tower, heated to the extreme, its outer Armor completely stripped away.
The surviving Warship soldiers, charred all over, with their blood boiled dry, adhered to their burning seats seeking vengeance on the Baraya.
It mustered all its strength to break through the storm.
The distance to the Baraya was just 10 kilometers away, with a clear field of view.
The last living person in the weapon control room trembled as he pressed the button, and the Yokozuna launched all its missiles. Hundreds of anti-ship missiles spat out from its half-melted tubes, as its final roar.
The Baraya desperately intercepted, blocking almost all the missiles, yet still got hit by two. One hit the tail section, the warhead penetrating the Armor and exploding deep within the boiler room, sending up black smoke. The other struck the Warship’s thicker Armor, leaving only scorch marks on the exterior.
This was the last act of the Yokozuna.
From the perspective of other Warships, it was already a metallic furnace, burying the ashes of Warship troops, flying through the sky in an embarrassing pose.
Consumed to ashes, from Ship to Man...
Looking towards the wobbling Yokozuna in the distance, Unit 102 felt an air of solemn majesty.
This was an era lacking in a sense of honor; people did not feel pride for working for a corporation; only the Warship Troops shared the glory and dishonor with their ships.
The end of the Yokozuna was its final act of honor. It would be honorable to die rather than to live in disgrace. If they had abandoned ship at the first sign of attack, the situation would not be as it was now. Unit 102 thought quietly, pondering what it looked like inside the ship.
Pan Ruiyi looked at the Yokozuna which finally could no longer reach the Baraya, exhausting 100 missiles to score only two hits, and the Main Laser Cannon was merely hanging idly. Pan Ruiyi would also not forget how tense she was when she was once targeted by its main cannon, later discovering she had a 1.7% chance of being taken down.
"I’ll talk to Lila first." Pan Ruiyi pressed her helmet, reporting to Lila, "...Lila! The Storm Princess has been defeated by us... and the Yokozuna has been exhausted, but they managed to hit the Baraya with two missiles."
Upon hearing the news, Lila first made a succinct evaluation.
"Very good... stand by, I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up to replenish fuel at the Chika Island," she replied.
Right after, Lila turned to the communications channel interface, at this moment, another invitation awaited her review.
She logged into the transmission, quickly establishing the channel, and the voice of the Jade Automaton sounded from the terminal.
"Greetings, esteemed President Lila Nestor. My name is Shu Jin, I am an external liaison officer for Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing and the Jade Automaton at Miss Lu’s side."
"Welcome." Lila handled foreign affairs cautiously, with Xu Yang deep in thought beside her.
"It seems like your company is engaged in a fierce and arduous war," Shu Jin’s voice was very patient, like a seasoned angler casting a long line, "Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing’s fleet is already on its way, may I inquire if you need our involvement?"
"Fierce and arduous is an overstatement." Lila answered steadily, "Everything is proceeding according to Nestor Corporation’s plans. However, this exercise could indeed turn into a military hunt, and become an important symbol of friendship between us."
"Such a cordial and friendly conversation." Shu Jin laughed, "You should know, since the corporate war began, we have hoped to sanction Taiya together with the Northern Archipelago. But due to Kyoto Infinity and Xisheng being successively broken by your company, much progress was delayed, preventing us from receiving support from the Northern Archipelago."
"Now we are here and have weathered the Black Fire Innovation’s assault." Lila responded firmly and without deference.
"It’s time to put a permanent end to this war, it has dragged on far too long." Shu Jin warned.
Lila heard underlying meanings in Shu Jin’s words.
——Lu Sizhou wants to end the war as soon as possible.
Thus, Nestor Corporation must also make every effort to cooperate; Black Fire Innovation cannot be defeated by just one or two parties alone, it must be through the combined efforts of the two giant corporations along with Nestor Corporation.
"I understand." Lila acknowledged, "Let’s work together with all sincerity."
After ending the communication, Lila turned to Xu Yang beside her.
"Shu Jin represents the will of Lu Sizhou," Lila analyzed quietly, "Her words mean that Lu Sizhou is refusing to continue the fight."
"She wants to recoup resources from the war to fulfill her own personal interests," Xu Yang deduced after a brief reflection.
"So what, exactly, are Lu Sizhou’s personal interests?"
