Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Strike First (Part 1)

At this time, Conner saw that Su Ming and the others had all stopped, not moving forward. He then maneuvered the Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight to halt and turned to look at Major Gene and the others.

His face instantly turned grim, but he asked with a smile on his lips,

"Ladies and gentlemen, why are we not moving?"

"If you let Lord Mafa hand over the supplies and people, we won’t go in."

"Lord, aren’t you putting me in a difficult position? It’s not far ahead, surely you can spare the effort?"

"I can’t!"

Major Gene replied coldly.

"If you’re going to say that, then there’s no point in discussing further. We kindly agreed to return everything and everyone to you. Yet, you can’t even bother to walk this short distance, expecting us to bring it to you. That’s quite the sense of entitlement! You all need to understand something, it’s you who are pleading with us, not the other way around!"

Conner said with intentional mockery.

"Then we do not want it. We’ll talk another day,"

Major Gene replied with an icy voice.

"Huh! Are you determined not to go in, then?"

Conner took a deep breath and coldly raised his head to ask Major Gene.

"What do you think?"

Major Gene replied with a chilling sense of murderous intent.

"Then stay here, attack!"

Conner slapped the control console and, with a sudden change of face, gave the direct order.

In an instant, the surrounding mechas charged forward.

The remotely locked Fire Guard Mechas and fixed launchers all targeted Su Ming and his group, ready to initiate an attack.

Just then, a myriad of missiles descended from the sky like raindrops.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the Fire Guard Mechas and fixed launchers were hit and erupted in massive explosions.

The attacker turned out to be none other than the Level 4 Mother Ship·Red Teeth.

Before Conner could betray them, Gene had already notified the commander of Red Teeth, Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye did not hesitate for a second and ordered the Red Teeth to deploy its Energy Barrier and forcefully break into the enemy’s defensive zone.

However, the rebels were not simply lambs to the slaughter; the moment Red Teeth infiltrated, they activated a large number of anti-aircraft weapons and fired a barrage of Anti-ship Missiles.

Unfortunately for them, Xiao Ye did not care about the incoming missiles. He mobilized all the missiles for remote support to deliver the first blow to the enemy, then used the Energy Barrier to withstand the attack.

High in the sky, one could see the Red Teeth’s Energy Barrier light up with constant explosions.

Inside the command room, An Jie kept reporting the situation.

"Energy Barrier strength has fallen to 78.3%!"

"Commander, we’ve scanned a large number of mecha troops flying towards us from different regions. The enemy seems intent on taking us down!"

....

"Increase the fleet’s altitude!"

Xiao Ye ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

An Jie immediately responded.

...

At this moment within the ravine, many of the rebels’ remote weapons and mechas had been destroyed.

Nevertheless, there were still some that survived, firing their missiles, rockets, and a dense barrage of bullets at Su Ming and the others.

It was then the students armed with Beam Sniper Rifles suddenly lifted their weapons and forcefully pulled the trigger at the remaining Fire Guard Mechas and launchers!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the Fire Guards were hit and exploded.

At the same time, due to the high density of Su Ming’s group, evading was difficult, resulting in more than a dozen Iron Guards being hit and damaged.

"Quick, spread out and counterattack, seize the high ground!"

The various instructors shouted.

The numerous Iron Guards scattered, taking positions to counterattack, while under the guidance of their instructors, one after another powered up their Jet Wings and rushed towards various high points.

Su Ming glanced at the scanning radar, which showed over four hundred mechas and thousands of soldiers in single combat armors encircling them from all directions. On their side, there were only a little over a hundred mechas, and the situation was extremely grim.

"Kill them!"

Although Conner was caught off guard by the Red Teeth, he didn’t show a hint of fear, owing to the advantage of having the upper hand in numbers.

At that moment, Major Gene and others piloting the Green Wing Mecha surged forth, quickly heading towards Conner.

Tang Xuan, Alfam, and other teachers also charged in.

"Hmph! You think you can take me down? Dream on!"

Conner sneered as he faced off against Major Gene.

At that time, a Hercules beside Conner confronted Teacher Tang Xuan, while the Third Generation Mecha·Fire Slaughter Mecha suddenly reversed into the air and then activated its SCX missile cluster launcher, sending a barrage of red, high-speed missiles hurtling towards teachers like Famun!

"Dodge!"

Alfam and the other teachers’ faces changed as they maneuvered their mechas to evade.

Boom, boom, boom~

Those red high-speed missiles hit and exploded into brilliant fireworks, their power terrifyingly strong.

Meanwhile, the Fire Slaughter Mecha also activated the two Beam Cannons mounted on its shoulders, firing a continuous stream of beams at the teachers.

In an instant, they demonstrated overwhelming firepower, forcing Teacher Alfam to run for cover.

On another front, Su Ming controlled Gun Knight and raised the Blast Mechanical Gun in his hands, unleashing a barrage at an approaching Second Generation Giant.

The dense barrage exploded upon impact, merely damaging it without causing major harm.

The Second Generation Mecha·Giant then fired a shot at Su Ming.

Su Ming, controlling the Gun Knight, swiftly dodged and then raised his left arm to activate the concealed Beam Cannon, firing back!

Boom!

In an instant, the Giant was hit and immediately crippled.

Su Ming decisively tossed aside the gun in his hand, finding the weapon truly damn useless, far inferior to the mecha’s built-in concealed Beam Cannon.

He maneuvered the Gun Knight to dodge attacks at high speed, occasionally firing beams that swept through the air, resulting in one Iron Head exploding after another.

At this time, Mia noticed Su Ming’s situation and shouted at him. NovelFire.cσ๓

"Su Ming, catch!"

Su Ming turned his head to look at Mia, just to see Mia tossing a Beam Saber towards him.

Su Ming’s pupils contracted, and he piloted the Gun Knight to speed forward, catching the Beam Saber.

Just then, an enemy Iron Guard charged at Su Ming.

Su Ming thrust the control stick forcefully, the engine roaring like a wild beast as he sped towards the Iron Guard.

The two of them crossed paths!

Crack!

The entire Iron Guard was bisected at the waist, exploding violently.

Following that, Su Ming, like a tiger descending the mountain, charged towards several First Generation Mecha Barbarians, slashing through with his saber!

The first Barbarian Mecha, instinctively raising its shield, tried to block the attack.

Crack!

Accompanied by a scream, the metal shield and the frame of the mecha were cleaved in half.

The remaining Barbarian Mechas, witnessing this scene, recoiled in terror.

But that only sped up their demise, exposing their backs directly to Su Ming. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed forward and swung his Beam Saber, cutting down one mecha after another.

From above, the scene was staggeringly shocking.

Over four hundred mechas and several thousand soldiers encircled just over a hundred mechas, but when the two sides collided...

Those four hundred mechas and soldiers shattered like tofu upon impact!
