Chapter 146: Chapter 56 Determined Long Song Chapter 146: Chapter 56 Determined Long Song Editor: Noodletown Translations “`
In just a few minutes, the entire Third Squad watched their comrades die in such a tragic manner, and everyone turned to the squad commander with red eyes.
“Major Ren, give the order to the brothers.”
The Black Knight had now turned its gaze towards their fleet, and the fate that awaited them was clear.
Major Ren, who had followed Qi Longxiang for nearly two years, looked at his comrades with a mysterious gleam in his eyes.
From fighting at Capital Star to transitioning to the Third Administrative District, traversing the Outer Domain Galaxy, participating in border surprise attacks, and now…
The entire Second Squad was annihilated, and now it was their turn.
A sense of indignation swelled in his chest, and the hot tears threatening to spill were forcibly held back.
Colonel Qi, it seems I can no longer follow you in the future.
This profession I love, today we shall die as soldiers!
Facing death, unregretfully!
“As soldiers, our glory will illuminate the Federation!” The young major raised his arm and shouted to all the officers and soldiers.
“Our glory will illuminate the Federation!”
“Our glory will illuminate the Federation!”
The declaration of sacrificial death inspired everyone.
In an instant, echoes gathered like clouds, and the morale of the whole ship reached its peak.
When faced with a predetermined fate, is it to kneel and wait for death or to die gloriously in battle?
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Third Squad stood united against a common enemy and made the choice befitting their identity as soldiers.
“Abandoning firepower to engage, we must open up the battlefield’s depth to buy time for Colonel Qi!
Two mine-guiding destroyers and two Secret Fire destroyers each form a team and follow in sequence; my ship will engage last.
Remember, it is imperative to delay as much as possible, even if by just one more second!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Mine-guiding destroyers ready!”
“Secret Fire destroyers ready!”
But just as the five ships of the Third Squad advanced with the resolve to face certain death, suddenly, the lights inside the ships flickered and then stabilized.
What was this?
A calm voice resonated within the ship:
“Fleet synchronization complete, I am Colonel Qi Longxiang.”
“All personnel in position.”
“Fleet Skill—Determined Long Song, activate.”
Everyone listened in disbelief to the calm voice within the ship and then broke into looks of ecstatic joy.
This was the voice of their Special Service Fleet’s highest commander, that ever-present calmness, that tone free of emotional fluctuation, bringing everyone’s spirits to the highest peak at this moment.
Just when the Third Squad was ready to face death selflessly, Colonel Qi’s calm and commanding voice pulled them from hell to paradise.
The invisible atmosphere created by the synchronized voice instantly encompassed the entire fleet.
Then, the morale of all officers and soldiers of the General Staff Special Service Fleet reached its apex at the same time.
Determined Long Song!
The legendary fleet skill reemerged in the Special Service Fleet!
…
At this moment, inside the command room of the Falcon-class giant ship representing the strongest force of this fleet.
All officers and soldiers had returned to their positions.
All the parameters on the screens were rapidly fluctuating, and the communication window refreshed from time to time, but on closer inspection, the communication channel was filled with one data chain command after another.
“7th cannon position, left calibration 3.7 degrees, upward fluctuation 0.5 scale.”
“8th cannon position, left deflection 6 degrees, upward fluctuation 0.7 scale.”
The operators executed control immediately upon seeing the orders appear.
…
This was a scene inside the Falcon-class battlecruiser, but…
It was far from over.
Except for the Second Squad, which was completely destroyed, all remaining ships, whether heavy cruisers or destroyers, had personnel stationed at every electronically operated spot, and the data commands before them constantly refreshed.
The entire fleet seemed to come alive, gathering together as if commanded by a single centralized brain into a complete entity.
The Third Squad’s impending charge was halted, and then they collectively began to rotate and retreat along a frequency.
“Compound attack!” Nearly a hundred weapons operators pressed the corresponding buttons simultaneously upon seeing the orders displayed on their screens.
“Ion cannon converging!” The muzzles of the mine-guiding destroyers tilted slightly.
“Fire Flow electromagnetic cannon ready!” The Secret Fire destroyers’ flanks unfolded a hive-like giant turret.
“All Third Squad weapon angles adjusted.”
“Full firepower.”
All ship-borne cannon muzzles and missile compartments swung open and began to converge at specific angles.
Different kinds of weapons fired sequentially in order.
Instantly, the Third Squad launched a ten-second continuous attack while retreating.
The attack was extraordinarily rhythmic, with the ion cannon’s convergent attack merging into one at a specific angle, with the Fire Flow electromagnetic cannon and various laser cannon supportive shots all striking a single point.
The Black Knight’s chest!
The attack was sudden, yet eerily precise.
“Warning, energy shield down by 20%.”
This attack caught the Black Knight off guard as it was re-entering an aggressive stance.
Reingano looked in disbelief at the mecha body information on the combat screen.
The glaring red numbers and warning symbols told him that the incident just now was no illusion, but that he had indeed suffered damage.
The Black Knight was actually damaged?
How could his beloved mecha body suffer such inexplicable harm?
He had clearly raised the Black Prison Gun to block it just before.
Those damned pests!
I’ll tear you apart.
Reingano never imagined that his Black Knight, after decimating a detachment, would suffer such a degree of damage from another fleet.
Realizing this, Reingano continued to charge with the Black Knight, as two light sources shone from his shoulders.
Guard Cannon firing.
But on the screen, he saw that fleet advancing in a bizarre formation, with each ship constantly adjusting its position along a set trajectory.
The two Guard Cannon shots unexpectedly missed.
What negligence.
Reingano frowned, questioning how the enemy fleet suddenly seemed to come alive!
Yes, it seemed to come alive.
But was this the truth?
He probably couldn’t imagine that the Federation colonel, whom he had mocked as a pest, was now suspended in the center of the command room, seated on a chair with numerous metal pipes swirling around.
If ordinary people saw this scene, they would exclaim they were filming a sci-fi movie.
However, everyone else on the warship had become so accustomed to this sight that they focused intently on their screens, executing operations in response to emergent commands.
The heart of all these changes originated from the man at the center of the command room—
Qi Longxiang, with his eyes tightly shut, was expressionless.
He was now the single core of the entire fleet; all data was now transmitted into his brain through a special connection method, then partitioned into thousands of commands distributed before each personnel.
He was the Telekinesis Master hidden within the General Staff Department of the Federation, the Fourth Tier Spirit Lock opener—Qi Longxiang.
“Determined Long Song first phase activated successfully; all fleet ships are 100% synchronized.
Preparing to initiate the second phase of Determined Long Song, counterattack…
commence.”
