Chapter 517: 339

"The enemy’s troops have moved out, led by Noveis, the Deputy Corps Commander of the Nightmare Legion, piloting the Fake V Generation Mecha·Dream Eater."

"Uh-huh."

The purple-haired girl responded indifferently, with no emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, a communication request popped up.

Major General Jone glanced at it and turned to report to the purple-haired girl.

"Legion Commander, the enemy has sent a communication request, do we accept it?"

"Accept."

The purple-haired girl replied coldly.

Major General Jone immediately clicked, and Noveis’s ugly face appeared on the operation screen.

With a neurotic smile, Noveis said,

"I am the Deputy Corps Commander of the Nightmare Legion, Noveis. After so many years, no one has dared to attack the Empire. I am truly excited. Announce your name!"

The purple-haired girl looked at Deputy Corps Commander Noveis and replied coldly,

"Dead men don’t deserve to know names."

"Hehe! How interesting! It’s been many years since I’ve met such an intriguing woman. I’ll capture you and imprison you, and torture you slowly, haha!"

Noveis gazed at the purple-haired girl fanatically.

"How dare you, on the verge of death, to utter such madness!"

Admiral Ferion erupted angrily.

"Ha-ha, if you have the guts, come and take my head. I’ll be waiting for you!"

Noveis twisted his neck excitedly, and then cut off the communication.

Admiral Ferion then addressed the purple-haired girl with a solemn tone,

"Legion Commander, please allow me to fight. I will bring back Noveis’s head."

"Go!"

The purple-haired girl replied coldly.

"Thank you!"

Upon receiving the purple-haired girl’s permission, Admiral Ferion walked to a lift platform in the right area of the central control room.

Click!

The entire lift platform sank straight down.

Not long after, Starshine Fortress opened several concealed exits.

Whoosh!

A forty-two-meter-tall mecha, covered in silver heavy armor, with a heavy particle light cannon embedded in its right shoulder, four pairs of mechanical auxiliary wings on its back, and holding a plasma light sword, with two Red Moons, three Black Moons, five Red Stars, and seven Black Stars painted on its shoulders, the Fake V Generation Mecha·Silver Executioner rushed out, floating in the starry sky.

Following that, IV Generation Biological Mecha·Red Ghost, IV Generation Biological Mecha·Savage Angel Envoy, IV Generation Biological Mecha·Marginal emerged from the fortress and flew to Admiral Ferion’s side to stop.

At this moment, a series of Third Generation Mecha·Green Wings flew out from Starshine Fortress, arranging themselves behind Admiral Ferion; there were a total of two thousand units.

All two thousand Green Wing Mechas belonged to Admiral Ferion, his personal guard.

When Noveis saw the emerging mecha troops, he shouted with an increasingly excited expression,

"Kill!"

The mecha formations from both sides charged at each other simultaneously.

...

On another part of the space battlefield,

Duoku and Reno, the colonels, upon seeing Su Ming rushing towards them, did not underestimate him; rather, they were on high alert.

On one hand, it was because Su Ming’s mecha seemed like a modified machine, but the most important reason was the Red Moon painted on Su Ming’s mecha shoulder.

"Duoku, I’ll take the front and tie him down. Be ready to back me up at any moment!"

Reno said to his companion.

"Okay!"

Duoku replied gravely.

Reno immediately stopped hesitating, took control of the Fierce Beast Mecha, powered up to full throttle, and charged toward Su Ming with bravery, swinging the superalloy double-edged axe fervently at him.

Su Ming did not dodge or evade, swinging the Crimson Spear to sweep over.

Bang!

The two mechas collided with a heavy impact, and the force of the clash swept outward.

In an instant, the Fierce Beast Mecha, renowned for its strength, was suppressed and pushed backward.

Reno’s expression turned into one of shock.

He had thought that even if the opponent was in a modified mecha, there shouldn’t be such a large gap in strength, but the difference was more than he expected.

However, Su Ming was very pleased with the result. His decision to clash head-on was in order to test the Slaughterer’s power. After all, he hadn’t used this mecha in real combat before, and his understanding of its performance was more theoretical, based on its specifications.

At this moment, Duoku, also piloting a Fierce Beast Mecha, appeared on Su Ming’s left, swinging his axe with full might at the Slaughterer.

Su Ming immediately detected Duoku’s attack, and deftly retracted the Crimson Spear, controlling the Slaughter Mecha to precisely dodge sideways and avoid the attack.

After the missed strike, Duoku immediately had a bad feeling.

"Damn it!"

His concern wasn’t unwarranted, as Su Ming, after dodging, thrust his Crimson Spear toward Duoku like a lingering shadow, moving so fast it was nearly invisible.

Duoku decisively activated the Energy Barrier!

Crack!

The Crimson Spear struck the Energy Barrier, which twisted violently, its strength greatly reducing.

Duoku quickly piloted the Fierce Beast Mecha to retreat.

Su Ming did not pursue the attack, instead glancing to the side only to see Reno controlling the Fierce Beast Mecha, aiming the Beam Cannon at him and firing.

Su Ming’s eyes narrowed, and he instantly activated Light Speed Fold Flash, with the Slaughterer vanishing from its original position.

"Light Speed Fold Flash, Reno be careful!"

Duoku, seeing Su Ming use Light Speed Fold Flash, shouted in a slightly altered tone.

Reno steeled his heart and activated the Energy Barrier. Although this would put him at a disadvantage, it was better than being hit by a surprise attack.

However, an unexpected scene unfolded: Su Ming did not appear near Reno but behind Duoku.

Reno’s face changed drastically as he shouted.

"Duoku, watch your right!"

Hearing Reno’s warning, Duoku felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and immediately maneuvered his mecha to turn around.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late.

Su Ming’s spear once again penetrated the Energy Barrier!

Crack! freewёbnoνel.com

In an instant, the Energy Barrier shattered, and the Crimson Spear thrust toward Duoku.

Luckily, the Energy Barrier provided a slight delay, giving him a moment to dodge.

Zing!

The crimson spear left a startling scar across the chest of the Fierce Beast Mecha.

In a mix of shock and anger, Duoku swept his axe toward Su Ming.

Su Ming controlled the Slaughterer to gracefully retreat and evade the attack, creating some distance.

At that moment, Reno rushed to Duoku’s side, and the two of them fixed a stern gaze on Su Ming.

They hadn’t expected to be forced into such a humiliating situation one day; not only did their two-against-one yield no advantage, but they were wounded at the first exchange.

If this continued, they were doomed!

At this time, Su Ming also looked at the two with interest. The generals of the Imperial Army were indeed formidable, and their teamwork was incredibly in sync.

If it were a one-on-one, he would have severely injured the opponent by now.

Of course, even a two-on-one wasn’t too troubling. Given some time, he would certainly be able to defeat them one by one.

But Su Ming didn’t have time to linger in this fight, so he set his sights on Duoku.

He decided to find a way to take out Duoku first, since Duoku’s Energy Barrier had already been shattered by him.
