Chapter 469: Chapter 331: Siloke Star Sea Campaign (Five-in-One)_6

Several mechanical engineers wearing protective suits rushed into the defensive stronghold and hurriedly brought various tools to the central control room.

"Sir, we are here!"

The leader, an old man with wrinkles on his face, said.

"Please repair this place. We need to use the main cannon of this base for a blocking battle! You have less than three hours!"

Su Ming checked the timer on his wristband and said.

"No problem!"

The leading old man gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Thank you, I’ll leave this place in your hands then."

Su Ming controlled his mecha to fly out of the central control room and into the outer space.

He then issued orders on the communication channel.

"Everyone, gather to me."

"Yes!"

Rhein and others responded solemnly.

Soon everyone, piloting their mechas, flew in front of Su Ming and arranged themselves in formation.

Su Ming looked around and said,

"Our first phase of military operation is completed. Although there were some unexpected events, fortunately, the problem is not major, and the casualties are still within an acceptable range. Next, we will intercept the Grey Gun Army."

"Sir, how shall we intercept them?"

"I’ve thought about it. We can’t recklessly attack, as that would easily cause heavy casualties. Therefore, I’ve decided to adopt an ambush tactic!"

"How do we do that?"

"First, Ankaga, you lead a small team to serve as scouts. The moment you spot the Grey Gun Army’s forces, report back immediately."

"No problem."

Ankaga responded without hesitation.

"Rhein, you lead 500 people to the left wing of the star space and lie in ambush waiting for orders!"

"Yes!"

Rhein replied solemnly.

"Allu, you lead 500 people to the right wing of the star space and lie in ambush waiting for orders!"

"Yes!"

Allu responded firmly.

"The rest of you, stay with me at the defensive stronghold, facing the Grey Gun Army head-on."

Su Ming then announced.

His battle strategy was simple: strike the incoming enemy with a sudden blow and then have Rhein and Allu lead their troops to ambush from both sides.

This would create an illusion for the enemy, making them feel surrounded, thus better breaking their psychological defenses.

.....

At this time, at the border between the Siloke Star Sea and the Danube Star Sea.

A massive fleet of ships was moving powerfully.

This fleet carried the flag of the Kudik Neutral Country uniformly, led by a battleship, forty kilometers long, with a super-long gray main cannon extending from the bow, its narrow body covered in gray armor—Battleship·Grey Gun.

Inside the central control room of the Grey Gun.

Sailuka’s Commander, sitting in the command chair, incessantly urged,

"Make all the ships go faster!"

"Commander, our speed is already at its fastest. If we speed up further, the ships at the back will fall behind," a competent female officer quickly explained.

"I understand, Donna!"

Sailuka suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

"Sailuka, I’m a bit confused, why are we rushing over there in such a hurry? What if the Imperial Army loses?"

"What do you know? How strong can the Federation be? Their regular army is already trapped like turtles in a jar, not to mention this force that has come out of nowhere. Besides, it’s not easy for the Imperial Army to need us, this is our chance to shine!"

"Sir, you are right."

Donna quickly replied.

Just then an operator reported.

"Report, Sir, we’ve scanned over a hundred fleeing Water Snake Army mechas, and they’ve sent a communication request!"

"Hmph, accept it!"

Sailuka snorted and said.

Then one small video communication after another popped up, showing these fleeing Water Snake soldiers pleading like they were clutching at straws.

"General, the Federation’s troops are too strong, we really can’t hold on, please help us, General!"

"Hmph, a bunch of deserters, still daring to lift others’ spirits and shake the morale, wipe them all out!"

Sailuka unhesitatingly gave the order.

At that moment, a soldier from the Water Snake Army, with a face full of panic, responded.

"General, you can’t kill us, we’re not your troops, you don’t have the authority to kill us!"

"Have no authority? I execute you in the name of the Imperial Army, kill!"

Sailuka’s Commander authoritatively issued the order.

"Yes!"

Donna immediately responded.

As the order was given, the fleet turned their cannons and fired a dense barrage of beams!

Boom!

Without any surprises, all the fleeing soldiers of the Water Snake Army were annihilated.

"All eliminated, we are about to enter the Siloke Star Sea. Sir, what should we do next?"

Donna reported to Sailuka’s Commander.

"Show the Star Map!"

Sailuka’s Commander commanded in a deep voice.

Donna promptly displayed the Slorok Star Map, marked with several red dots, which indicated fallen areas.

This information was all shared by the Water Snake Army.

From the Star Map, it was clear that the Water Snake Army was in a precarious situation; Federation troops had already reached Transfer Star.

"Pass my order, cut in from the flank to Transfer Star Battlefield, catch them off guard!"

Sailuka’s Commander began organizing the combat mission.

"Yes!"

Donna nodded in response.

...

On the edge of the Siloke Star Sea.

At this moment, Ankaga, in charge of the vigilance, led a small team, docked on a drifting meteorite, turned off the power system, and activated stealth mode. Relying on reserved power, they maintained the operational system for surveillance.

Suddenly, the edge of their scanning device lit up with dense red dots.

"Holy cow!"

Ankaga saw these red dots, his eyes widening in shock.

"Captain, why are so many enemies rushing towards us? And so soon?"

Song Hui responded nervously.

"Fear nothing, with Officer Su Ming here, we have nothing to fear!"

"Oh, should we go back and report now?"

"What’s the hurry? Let me tally up the enemy count first, nobody move!"

Ankaga calmly said.

He noticed that among this group of troops, a Level 4 Battleship was leading; if they recklessly started the mechas, they would definitely be detected by the enemy.

"Understood!"

Song Hui and others hurriedly responded.

Ankaga patiently watched the scanning device, waiting for all the enemy troops to enter their scanning range.

Time ticked by.

The hearts of Song Hui and others were in their throats.

Just then, Ankaga saw more and more red dots emerge on the scanning device, even he was starting to feel the strain.

The number was overwhelming, too many to count, and the enemy was already about to enter a safe distance.

Ankaga decisively issued an order.

"I’ll count down from five, then we all power up and retreat!"

"Yes!"

Song Hui and others immediately responded.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!"

Ankaga suddenly powered up the device, controlling his mecha to retreat sharply.

Song Hui and the others quickly followed.

In the central chamber of the Level 4 Battleship·Kaba.

An operator reported to a middle-aged man with a beard and deep-set eyes.

"Lord Dutul, scouts have detected the enemy, should we send troops to pursue?"

"It doesn’t matter, it has no effect, with so many troops under our command, can the enemy really turn the tide?"

Dutul confidently replied.

"Yes!"

The subordinates present all answered in unison.
