Chapter 670: 443
But in that instant, the sky was slashed by countless sword marks.
Hiss…
As the dragon-like sword light disappeared, the long sword was sheathed.
Bang bang bang!
Shura’s armor shattered almost in half again, falling straight from the air onto the deck.
However, that orange torrent…
It was sliced into a blooming lotus flower, gathering without dispersing.
The immense kinetic energy turned the warship into a black dot in an instant, disappearing into the sky.
This…
People’s mouths gaped open, unable to close.
It was only then that they realized that there was a terrifying SS-grade mecha on that warship.
“The enemy is extremely fast, and their radar evasion is very high. The signal has already been lost.”
A soldier in the monitoring room stared at the data in front of him, struggling to report the results.
“Report to the general, the enemy has completely vanished from the radar map.”
Major General Wang and his group watched in silence at the light spot on the screen that had completely disappeared, but nobody knew that at the bottom of this general’s heart, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he could no longer bear the losses of the fleet.
Was that madman Qi Longxiang trying to send him and all these officers to a military court?
He couldn’t imagine how he would explain himself to the headquarters when he returned, as Blue Capital Star, controlled by the powerful clans, had the military as the only constraint on them.
Now, even the military began to be infiltrated by these powerful clans, plus the heavy losses in this battle. Thinking about the thousands of warships annihilated by friendly and enemy fire, his heart ached.
The Constitutional Army would definitely send someone over to inquire; what a mess this all was.
“Colonel Qi, I need an explanation from you!”
Major General Wang’s stern interrogation echoed across the communication channel.
“I shall explain myself to the Military Department,” replied Qi Longxiang in a calm voice, but that was all.
As the conversation continued on the warship, the outside world was still in a haze.
“Where is the enemy?”
This was the question that arose in everyone’s minds—they only saw the orange lotus in the sky just a moment ago, and then the sky was empty, without any anomaly.
At that moment, the familiar voice of the blonde, sunglass-wearing man sounded again, albeit with not a small amount of embarrassment, yet he still joked about it.
“Hahaha, dear viewers, under the great efforts of the Federation army, the enemy has been completely driven away! We are now safe! Thank you to the great contribution and sacrifice made by the Federation Fleet.”
That last line was supposed to be a routine thank you, but when Major General Wang heard it, he only felt a stabbing pain in his chest.
It was only then that people finally came to their senses, bursting into cheers across the sky like a sea.
“Due to the unexpected changes that have occurred, this year’s Interstellar Mecha Competition will be postponed for a month, for this we bring…”
This explanation directly provoked a lot of curses, but as a host, Jin Ruisi still thick-skinnedly spoke out.
The blonde man in sunglasses was about to speak again, when it seemed a voice sounded in his earpiece. He tilted his head to listen for a moment and nodded, then spoke into the microphone again: “Dear audience, the Federation military will soon arrive at the Sky Mother Ship, please stay calm and orderly.”
As his voice fell, rows of soldiers ran from behind the audience seats.
Gag order!
The military department of Blue Capital Star finally decided to issue a gag order on this incident. Despite offending many, they had to verify each one and then implement this order.
Whether it was the arrival of the Demon God Machine, the appearance of the Solomon Overlord, the influence of the Gardot Empire, or the invasion of the mysterious fleet, none of these events were allowed to spread on the public network.
As for the audience anxiously waiting in front of their light computers, they ultimately received a notice: “The match is canceled, postponed for one month.”
This time, the Interstellar Mecha Association, which lacked the core mecha body, had far less authority than the Federation, so they naturally acquiesced to the Federation’s series of actions.
So miraculously, this news, which was enough to overthrow a planet, passed by lightly under the oppressive power of the strong regime and military.
After a bout of commotion, the crowd on the Sky Mother Ship started to evacuate in an orderly manner.
…
The Special Service Fleet, which successfully repelled the two major powers, disappeared quietly as it had arrived, as if it had never stayed on this planet.
The warships, a third of which were directly wiped out by the Netherfire Assault Matrix, the remaining ships disappeared into the horizon.
Qi Longxiang, who entered a state of spiritual power depletion again, needed to enter Zhongjing City to request the legendary doctor for treatment.
Qi Longxiang, who had continuously experienced battles in the Outer Domain Galaxy and the turmoil on Blue Capital Star, was now in critical condition.
Colonel He, with slightly curled hair and a solemn face, stood on the almost leveled ground, watching various engineering vehicles and rescue machines start up behind him. At his side, a communications soldier was reporting, “Report, Sir, 39 representatives with C-level authority have requested a meeting.”
“No,” Colonel He immediately waved his hand, disinterested as the C-level authority was not significant enough to be included on the military’s priority list.
He did not want to deal with these miscellaneous issues at the moment; he only wanted to quickly ascertain the number of deaths and injuries within the destroyed venue.
“Report, Sir, 16 representatives with B-level authority have requested a meeting, including 4 from other planets.”
“…Tell them to go to the Military Department’s Operations Command in Zhongjing City tomorrow morning at eight.”
“Report, Colonel, 4 people with A-level authority have requested a meeting, two of whom are from other planets, and… they have already entered the reception area. They are currently very agitated, please decide, Sir.”
A-level authority?
Having heard these words, Colonel He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought for about ten seconds before finally responding, “Let them in.”
He could almost recite the A-level power forces native to Blue Capital Star, yet he wondered which four powers were visiting, including the two from outer planets, and why were they so agitated?
After the command was relayed, two groups of people quickly approached from the rear transport ship.
Colonel He squinted at the two leaders, both about twenty years old and appearing travel-worn, with a group of solemnly dressed strong men following each.
“Good day, gentlemen, I am Colonel He Gang, head of the Blue Capital Star military’s Operations Command, please state your purpose.”
The two groups of people stood firm, and under Colonel He’s hawk-like gaze, the two young leaders glanced at each other and nodded.
Then, the young man with dyed white hair stepped forward slightly.
“Colonel He, hello, I am Yin Shuai, representative of the Yin Consortium from Beifeng Star, here to join your rescue efforts. Our Yin Consortium has prepared the best equipment.”
“Sorry, I refuse.”
Without a thought, Colonel He directly vetoed and his face showed a hint of anger.
“Sir, please don’t rush to refuse; this is a memorandum just signed by our consortium with the Planet Councilman, including a special approval from the Councilman. Please take a look, Colonel.”
The seemingly non-serious young man with white hair, now had an indescribable aura and the authorization order he handed over, bearing a special mark, seemed so significant to Colonel He.
A special order from the Galaxy Federation Blue Capital Star Councilman, Beifeng Star… the Yin Family!?
Colonel He suddenly widened his eyes and took another deep look at the young man with white hair.
“What about you?” Colonel He took the order but did not immediately agree, instead turning to the other young man, whose face still bore several bloodstains that had not yet scabbed over.
