Chapter 857: Chapter 630: A True Hero
“Hmm, you drive.”
Mu Fan’s calm voice echoed in the cockpit, startling the girl with a shiver.
Nuonuo would never forget the spectacular scene of the fire engulfing the sky before her eyes.
She could never have imagined that the black mecha that slaughtered its way from Purple Jade Star was piloted by… Mu Fan.
Then Mu Fan demonstrated to her what it meant to be absolute power, everything else was but fleeting clouds.
As for why the master was so formidable, why he possessed the mecha and the terrifying fleet behind it, she didn’t want to know.
All that mattered was that the master was standing up for her, and that was enough.
But speaking of which.
Nuonuo pouted, feeling headache while looking at the massive control console.
This was completely not designed for someone like her, many four-key sync or five-key sync actions she couldn’t perform, the span of those keys required her to turn her neck from left to right.
This was entirely a mecha designed for men.
But upon hearing the master’s calm response, Nuonuo could only pout and accept it.
Then after operating for a few minutes, she completely gave up on adjusting detailed movements through the console.
She tried to calm herself, honestly setting the thruster power to 30%.
And then…
Stood up and directly activated the limb coordination device.
Of course, not nearly as exaggerated as Shura, it adopted the most common neural sensing coordination device in the interstellar.
No pain at all.
As a subtle electric current brushed over her whole body, Nuonuo finally felt the kindness of the world.
Nuonuo was unaware that her every move, including the little actions of pouting and sticking out her tongue, were being synchronized to Mu Fan by Black, the unscrupulous intelligent life.
Mu Fan watched the girl’s quirky and lovable movements with slight amusement, feeling that this was the Nuonuo he initially met.
That faint sense of intimacy finally melted some of the cold in his heart.
Then his gaze calmly cast into the distance, where there was a planet growing larger and greener.
Mukana Star…
Then Mu Fan’s gaze turned cold again.
Only the seven-ship Shadow Fleet remained, quietly advancing in the deep space behind the Taigu Mecha.
Communications on Mukana Planet between the Gale family and the Sun Clan had been completely tapped by Black.
And truthfully relayed to Mu Fan’s ears.
So he clearly knew who he was facing next.
Both the Red Fire Group and Qi Fire Heavy Industry had come out in full force.
Under the orders of Burton Gale, the Old Madman, a seventy-year noble family displayed astonishing power.
But even so, Mu Fan would not relent.
The battlefield of Star Ring 77 had already been completely destroyed, and it would be the same moving forward.
He was 100% confident that no secret information would leak out.
…After all, this was not the Federation.
In the silent universe, ten thousand kilometers away, a faint line suddenly emerged, growing clearer.
Initially a bit familiar with Taigu’s operation mode, Nuonuo stared dismayed at the light points appearing on the screen before her.
Although Taigu’s radar system was far less advanced than that of the Barnard Star System.
But this time, faced with the densely packed red dots, the other side seemed to have no intention of hiding their whereabouts.
[Identified target: Ships, quantity: unknown.]
This was the radar’s report to Nuonuo.
Then a slightly flustered Nuonuo began to stop the mecha.
The red Taigu Mecha slowly halted in space, while the ghostly prowling Shadow Fleet behind it quietly slipped into a scattered asteroid belt.
Black’s ship control was precise to the degree of threads, achieving grotesque effects as Dawn led the Shadow Fleet to blend with the asteroids almost instantly, disappearing completely.
Even on Taigu’s radar, those green points representing allies had vanished.
But the voice rising simultaneously eased the girl’s mind.
“Don’t be afraid, just wait.”
Bravery shone in the girl’s eyes as she nodded firmly, the red Taigu Mecha effortfully posed a defensive stance, then hung in space.
Something felt off though, as the mecha kept adjusting its position, seemingly finding a more comfortable pose?
…
“Family Head, they seem to have stopped moving and are decelerating to hover.”
Looking at the mecha in the light screen, Burton Gale said expressionlessly, “Is this the mecha that sent my child to eternal rest in the universe?”
“Reporting to the Family Head, I… I don’t know.”
The crew member replied hastily, not daring to give any other answer because Burton Gale had completely cast aside his usual benevolent appearance.
He lightly shifted his gaze to the subordinate until the latter’s entire body started shivering in cold dread and began bowing desperately. Only then did he move his gaze away: “What are you afraid of? Are you very afraid of me?… But you answered well, now get out.”
The crew member hurriedly got up and stood aside, his back soaked in a layer of cold sweat.
Without turning his head, Burton Gale stared at the light screen and said:
“Has the support from Qi Fire Heavy Industry arrived?”
“Reporting, Family Head, they are at four o’clock relative to the fleet and will rendezvous in 7 minutes. There are 120 Level 5 warships, 2 Level 6 ships, 460 mechas, including 420 B-level, 37 A-minus level, and 3 A-level mechas.”
“Very good, press them all forward.”
“Don’t they fancy fighting? Now that my Gale family’s people are here, let’s see how capable these far-fetched Federation officers really are.”
Burton Gale’s mind was now thoroughly consumed by the word revenge.
He wanted to blast that mecha into cosmic dust.
The massive fleet began forming a semi-circle, rapidly closing in on the unyielding red mecha.
…
Finally, when the support units from the two major groups merged with the main fleet, the over-a-thousand-strong large fleet officially formed its formation.
Inside the Taigu Mecha, a communication request suddenly came to Nuonuo’s screen.
Along with a sentence: “I, Burton Gale, am here now. Aren’t you going to show your esteemed presence?”
Nuonuo took a deep breath, preparing to speak.
However, perhaps because it was her first time piloting such a large mecha, or maybe she accidentally touched something.
In any case, she originally wanted to raise her right hand to point at the opponent, but she didn’t expect the solemn and majestic red mecha to suddenly spread its legs and swung its left hand.
Seeing the 3D structure posture on the screen, the girl’s face flushed so red it almost seemed blood would drip from it.
“Ah!”
“Don’t panic, just stand still…” Mu Fan’s gentle voice came through.
The end result was that the entire mecha floundered around for a moment before standing upright like a student meeting a teacher for the first time.
At the moment the mecha stood up, the engine behind it unexpectedly spurted a burst of flame, timidly lifting it a few hundred meters into the air before abruptly halting.
In the Gale family’s fleet, the faces of those family crew members turned strange and they looked at each other awkwardly.
Behind Burton Gale, someone who had been watching the light screen with a solemn expression couldn’t help but hold his breath pressing against his chest after witnessing that scene.
“Pff.” Someone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Burton Gale, wearing a gloomy expression, turned and glanced over, his dead-fish eyes making the laughter freeze instantly.
The person was the flagship’s first officer, so Burton Gale’s gaze only carried a strong warning.
“Is it really so funny?”
“Not funny at all, Clan Leader!”
The first officer replied, chest out, with an upright posture.
Burton Gale said no more, but his look clearly conveyed meaning.
If laughter continued, he’d get violent.
“My patience is limited. I’ll give you 30 seconds to repent…”
Then his eye twitched, because the mecha’s left hand suddenly ignited a ball of fire.
He watched as a clear orange beam of light came from afar.
Buzz!
Red lights flickered in the command hall, slight tremors came from beneath.
Just at the edge of the light screen, a small dazzling blaze ignited on the outside of the energy shield.
[Warning, the ship is under attack!]
[Warning, the ship is under attack!]
Burton Gale’s repressed fury finally burst.
“All ships fire! Blow that red mecha to pieces for me!”
In the cockpit, Nuonuo looked at her left hand, nearly in tears from grievance.
Her left thumb had just accidentally pressed a red button.
The result was a flash of light from the Cannon Howitzer on the Taigu’s left hand.
She hadn’t intended to fire at all…
In the inconspicuous black mecha standing on an asteroid behind, Mu Fan felt entirely embarrassed.
Black’s voice echoed: “Hero among women…”
