Chapter 406: Surrounding Three and Leaving One, Mysterious Fleet?
A gigantic tornado swept in, with rays penetrating the heart of the vortex.
When those rays hit the ground, people were horrified to discover they were not virtual at all but truly capable of inflicting harm!
This terrifying scene completely shattered everything people saw in their view.
The tornado flattened the ground, yet the countless residual images of the Strangling Demon Snake mecha vanished and reappeared.
For a moment, the entire sky echoed with the wild laughter of Andumari.
"Hahaha! What can you do to me, Ruan Xiongfei?"
"Is that so?" Inside the cockpit, the bald man within the Strong Electromagnetic Ball glared fiercely in one direction and suddenly opened his eyes.
The screen finally displayed a locking marker, a cue that the true form of the Strangling Demon Snake had been pinpointed.
Boom!
The Big Tornado suddenly expanded and rapidly spread in all directions.
In a flash, a thunderous shadow burst forth from within.
That explosive moment left countless people in shock.
Owl Thunder Strike!
Within the brilliant radiance, with wings fully extended, the Thunderhawk charged directly into the cloud-covered sky below.
There was nothing there.
However, when the Thunderhawk collided with that spot,
A buzzing circle of invisible fluctuations spread out, and a sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky.
The Thunderhawk rebounded into the air, and at last, a mecha revealed itself from the sky!
This mecha still bore the form of the Strangling Demon Snake, but unlike the countless residual images, this mecha held a metallic long spear.
This long spear was different from that held by the Extreme Special Soldier; its length surpassed the height of the Strangling Demon Snake, meaning it was more than twice the length of Flame Rain Frost Blue.
Moreover, the design of this long spear was exceedingly sinister, with two intertwining serpents forming the body of the spear, mottled dark yellow patterns nearly merged with the mecha's paint.
This time, the Strangling Demon Snake had only the gaping maw on its forehead left.
The metal serpents on both sides must have completely transformed into part of the spear.
And this suddenly appeared weapon, which blocked the Thunderhawk's punch, was indeed the Strangling Demon Snake's sole cold weapon—
The Big King Snake Spear!
"Truly worthy of the Thunderhawk, you locked onto my position so quickly. Since that's the case, let our battle begin."
The sonorous yet sinister voice echoed between heaven and earth.
The Strangling Demon Snake mecha with the Big King Snake Spear held by its side, exuded an imposing aura!
Around its body, a dark yellow aura like a swamp steamed up; at this moment, the entire mecha appeared as if a Demon God had descended.
"What is this?!"
"This is the actual mecha body?"
"It looks terrifying..."
Some comments scrolled through the live streaming viewers; they should be thankful that, even now, the surveillance equipment that hadn't been destroyed was still faithfully transmitting the scene.
"I'll tear you apart today!"
When Ruan Xiongfei saw this dark yellow mecha that had been fully cornered, his eyes nearly burst, having at last found the venomous snake hidden in the sky.
At this instant, the Thunderhawk's limbs are simultaneously sparked with faint blue ion light; the entire mecha body seemed to bathe in wild lightning.
Crack!
A thunderclap flashed through the cloud-covered sky, and the Thunderhawk transformed into a bolt of lightning shooting forward.
And this time, the afterimages it left behind displayed various postures, which appeared as though... they were the fighting stances left by a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The Thunderhawk's super-tier advanced attack—Martial God Stance!
"I'm supposed to be scared of you?"
When Andumari saw the Thunderhawk's aggressive attack posture, a dark yellow brilliance lit up at the tip of the spear in his hand, and a substantial laser beam erupted, reaching ever higher.
With a heavy swing downward, the Big King Snake Spear split the Strangling Demon Snake Mecha into three in an instant, and then charged at the Thunderhawk.
In that instant, both mechas broke through ten times the speed of sound.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The sky was filled with numerous afterimages of fierce combat.
Thunder began to explode in the sky, and people on the Sky Mother Ship watched dumbfounded as lightning flashed beneath the distant clouds.
All they could pray for now was that this terrifying battle would not affect them.
It must not reach them!
On the horizon, a dense array of black ships began to emerge.
Strangely, this time the Federation Fleet seemed to deliberately leave a gap open in the east.
"Hmm? What is the Federation trying to do, giving Solomon's Mecha a way out on purpose?"
Inside the monitoring room of the Sky Mother Ship, a man dressed in a silver uniform with an odd eyepatch frowned and spoke. As one of the several deputy chief referees, Mo Yunfu had chosen to stay aboard the mother ship.
"Lord Yunfu, there is a communication request from the Federation. Should we answer it?"
An attendant suddenly turned around and spoke. Hearing his subordinate's report, Mo Yunfu nodded, "Connect."
"This is the Galaxy Federation's Third Fleet from Blue Capital, I am Colonel Bai Hua."
"Good to speak with you, Colonel Bai. We just have a question requiring clarification. Why has your fleet deliberately left a gap? Do you intend to use the outdated 'surround three and leave one' strategy against an S+ peak Mecha? Forgive my bluntness, but I believe you are severely underestimating this mecha's strength, and at the same time, greatly overestimating your own abilities."
"I am here about that very issue. I just received instructions from the Staff Department at headquarters; the Federation Fleet will have strong reinforcements arriving soon, and this gap is also at the request of our allies," replied Bai Hua, saluting crisply.
"Strong reinforcements? You have forces that can contend with an S+ tier Mecha? Could it be the return of the Four Great Fleets from the border?"
"No, that belongs to our classified information which I cannot disclose. I am merely acting on orders and have now conveyed the circumstances. Please have the Mecha Association coordinate with our actions!"
With a salute, the image of Bai Hua froze on the holographic light screen.
This obviously made Mo Yunfu quite furious, "So they say they're deliberately leaving a gap for some arriving reinforcement fleet!"
"If it's not the Four Great Assault Fleets of Thunder, Bright, Snow, and Wind, then what other fleet could make such a boastful claim? This is absurd... those damned Federation bureaucrats."
Mo Yunfu slammed his fist onto the metal stand in front of him hard. This place didn't belong to the Mecha Association; after all, they were only guests.
You bunch of military men who have never seen top-tier strength, do you really think an S+ tier Mecha is that easy to restrain?
...
In space, seventy thousand kilometers from the Land of Bright Star on Blue Capital Star, a fleet covered in scars from countless battles raced swiftly through space.
Over one hundred and twenty ships in the reorganized fleet formed a neat arrowhead formation, but the most chilling sight was the gigantic flagship at the tip of the arrow, whose giant cannon was as wide as the ship itself.
Should a regular member of the high-tier Federation Fleet be present, they would recognize this as the ultimate weapon of the Galaxy Federation Fleet, the Magnetic Field Nuclear Cannon!
Such a weapon was only deployed among the border troops and the core fleets of the Capital Star District.
At this moment, in the command center of the flagship, a young man with a calm demeanor and a tall stature stood with his hands behind his back in front of a large holographic screen.
On his shoulder, the Federation Colonel insignia shone conspicuously.
The screen was split into hundreds of sections, each showing a different image, and some of them depicted the two mechas locked in their fierce duel.
But even seeing the apocalyptic might of the Thunderhawk and Strangling Demon Snake in combat, the young man's expression didn't waver.
No surprise, no shock, only the calmness of a person who's serious, a composure that reigned even in face of imminent danger.
As his eyes moved to the bottom right corner of the screen, the young man's lips finally moved.
"Lin Hao, bring the engine room to sequence 17 activation, adjust the fleet formation to the second-tier super short-range sharp arrow array, prepare for super short-range warp."
"Yes, Colonel Qi!"
Behind the man, a soldier familiar to Mu Fan stamped his foot and saluted fervently!
