Chapter 470: Chapter 332: Siloke Star Sea Campaign 2 (Five-in-One)

DX-06 Defensive Outpost.

Su Ming controlled the Slaughterer, giving Deng Yu and the others some notes on engagement.

Just then, Ankaga’s rushed voice came through the communication channel.

"Commander, we’re in trouble! I’ve scouted the Grey Gun Legion, they’re coming towards us in large numbers!"

"Grey Gun Legion? They’ve arrived so soon?"

Su Ming looked at the time and replied with a furrowed brow.

According to the information provided by the Legion Commander, it should take at least one more hour for the Grey Gun Legion to arrive, but they had arrived so unexpectedly early.

"That’s correct."

"What’s their flagship?"

"Ah, I didn’t scout that, I only scouted a level 4 Battleship. What I’ve scouted should be the enemy’s flanking forces."

Ankaga reported the truth.

"Share the data with me!"

Su Ming said to Ankaga.

"Alright!"

Ankaga immediately shared the data with Su Ming.

After receiving the data, Su Ming swiftly entered commands to analyze and predict the enemy forces’ direction of attack.

Very soon he finished his analysis. Ankaga wasn’t wrong; what was scouted was indeed only the enemy’s flanks. According to the scale and advancing direction, outposts like DX-01, DX-06 would all be hit. If he weren’t mistaken, the enemy probably intended to break through them, cutting straight to the Transfer Star Battlefield.

The information provided by the Legion Commander stated that although the Grey Gun Legion was weaker than the Water Snake Army, their whole legion formation also had nearly 150,000 troops. These included 100,000 Mecha units, 50,000 interstellar fighters, and most troublesome was a level 5 Battleship, the Grey Gun, along with three level 4 Battleships.

Originally, the Emperor Mother Ship had ordered the pullout from various outposts, dispatching a total of ten Mechanical Groups. And in this part of space, there were only the forces of five groups, while the other five groups were in another part of space.

Five Mechanical Groups’ forces against the entire Grey Gun Legion, the disparity in numbers was far too large.

Su Ming decisively said to Ankaga.

"Ankaga, come back immediately. I’m going to issue a warning to Kaff and the others, and at the same time, call for reinforcements from the Emperor Mother Ship!"

"Okay!"

Ankaga immediately responded.

...

Inside the central control room on the Emperor Mother Ship.

Major General Vickers sat firmly in the commander’s chair.

One subordinate after another continuously reported the latest battle situations.

"Level 5 Battlecruiser Silver Moon has sunk the enemy’s level 4 Battlecruiser Water Algae."

"Level 5 Battlecruiser Fiery Sun has sunk the enemy’s level 3 Battleship..."

...

Vickers looked at the continuously advancing battlefield, very satisfied.

At that moment, Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin reported.

"Urgent news, Major Su Ming from the Third Mechanical Group has scouted the Grey Gun Legion’s forces. The enemy is cutting in from the side of the Siloke Star Sea and is now requesting support!"

Upon hearing the report, Major General Vickers’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected the Grey Gun Legion to arrive on the battlefield so early.

But it was normal; intelligence was only for reference. In real combat, unexpected situations always arose.

Now the priority was to intercept the Grey Gun Legion.

Major General Vickers immediately said in a deep voice.

"Order Mechanical Groups 6 to 10 to abandon the defense outposts and go to support!"

"Yes, orders are being issued!"

Zhou Yuelin briskly replied.

"General, I’m afraid that won’t be enough, right?"

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a Colonel’s uniform, his face marked with dark spots, his temples graying, spoke with concern.

"Captain Zhou Quan, of course, I know that just mobilizing Groups 6 to 10 for support will not be enough. Order the level 5 Battlecruiser Silver Moon..."

Vickers had only spoken halfway to Zhou Quan when suddenly the scanning device emitted a shrill alarm, and a series of red warning boxes popped up.

Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin glanced at them and exclaimed in her report.

"General, scanners have detected an Imperial Army fleet cutting into the battlefield!"

"Identify them!"

Vickers asked with a somber face.

"Identification successful. This fleet is the main force of the Dark Star Empire’s Seventh Shadow Legion, led by a level 5 Battleship Ghost Shadow."

Zhou Yuelin hastily reported.

"This is troublesome now. We were almost done with the battle, and then suddenly such a force shows up."

Colonel Zhou Quan’s expression changed slightly as he spoke.

"This is enemy territory; it’s not surprising to have unexpected reinforcements."

Vickers asked very calmly.

"General, what do we do? Do we still send Silver Moon for support?"

Zhou Quan asked anxiously.

"No!"

"But without sending ships for support, what about Kaff’s side? They’ve run into an entire Grey Gun Legion?"

"We cannot divide our forces. Once we do, we won’t have enough on hand. If the Empire’s forces cut in, we might enter a stalemate. If it drags out, we won’t be able to take down the enemy. And if the Rock Army arrives, we’ll be completely encircled."

Vickers said decisively.

"What do you mean?"

"Immediately notify Colonel Kaff to hold back the Grey Gun Legion at all costs. We’ll resolve this side quickly and then immediately dispatch troops to support."

"Yes!"

Zhou Quan took a deep breath and replied.

...

At that moment, in the space behind Transfer Star, a 50-kilometer-long Battleship, its bow shaped like a spike, extended a pitch-black barrel, its slender hull covered with cold metallic luster black armor, densely packed with rows of launch ports and interceptor gun ports, the level 5 Battleship Ghost Shadow, leading five level 4 Battleships, was speeding over.

Inside the central control room of Ghost Shadow.

A man dressed in fourth-generation grey armored armor, with short black hair, a distinct facial contour, eyes revealing resolution, and a very calm demeanor sat in the commander’s chair.
