The air defense forces of the Withered Source Star were not very strong. Ye Yu learned from Long Ruofei that aside from the fleet of battleships in the Amethyst Mine Area, there was only a small air defense squadron formed by various factions on the Withered Source Star, consisting of about twenty space battleships.
Currently, the Silver Dragon Star had dispatched some forces to intercept the Wavebreaker Legion, but the remaining strength of the Silver Dragon Guard was insufficient to pose a significant deterrent to the Wavebreaker Legion. As for the Northern Defense Force led by the Ouyang Family, it would take some time for them to arrive.
Ye Yu quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind. No matter how powerful their team was, they would be worn down by the enemy! They only had a few space battleships at their disposal, and it was important to note that a large mothership contained at least a squadron's worth of battleships.
According to intelligence provided by Wei Ze, although the enemy did not have many motherships, they definitely possessed at least one hundred space battleships. Once encircled, even if Ye Yu had exceptional abilities, escape would be nearly impossible.
As a soldier with the responsibility to defend his territory, Ye Yu never considered fleeing! In just a few minutes, their mechs had brought them to a military spaceport. The spaceport was small and located in a concealed area.
At that moment, the gates of the spaceport were tightly shut. Outside, there were only a dozen people present; aside from seven or eight mechanics, there were hardly any ground crew members. Upon seeing Ye Yu leading twelve mechs towards them, everyone’s faces displayed expressions of alarm.
“I am Captain Ye Yu from the Silver Dragon Guard responsible for the safety of the Amethyst Mine. Who is in charge here?” Ye Yu jumped down from the cockpit and approached one of the staff members who was watching him warily.
Hearing Ye Yu's words, an older man with a round belly stepped forward respectfully. “Ah, Captain Ye! I am Axi. We just took over here yesterday and do not have anyone in charge yet. However, Mr. Wei Ze has already contacted me and instructed me to inform you that you can utilize all combat weapons here!”
Ye Yu nodded at Axi and said, “Good. Open the battleship's warehouse; I will take command of the space battleships here.”
Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Axi nodded and immediately operated a nearby machine to open the massive alloy doors. Ye Yu gestured to several people behind him and commanded, “Get into your mechs; let’s go!”
With that, Ye Yu's figure blurred and reappeared inside his mech cockpit. Almost simultaneously, all the mechs sped towards the hangar.
Although Model 9 mechs appeared large and clumsy, under the control of these elite soldiers, their movements became extremely agile. In just a few blinks of an eye, they reached their respective mechs.
“Leave six people to guard here; everyone else come with me!” Ye Yu stepped out of his mech and looked at everyone with an undeniable command.
“Who will stay behind?” Liu Yao frowned as she looked at Ye Yu; her eyes clearly indicated that she wanted to be included no matter what!
Ye Yu rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Liu Yao, you're the vice captain, so stay here. As for which six people you want to keep, choose for yourself! Of course, the prerequisite is that you don't choose me!"
"What does that even mean? Do you really think your combat experience is greater than mine?" Liu Yao shot Ye Yu a glance, clearly not taking him seriously.
"I am the captain!" Ye Yu was too lazy to explain anything further and had no intention of being gentle. His communicator was buzzing with messages from Wei Ze; the Vanguard of the Wavebreaker Legion was less than twenty minutes away from them!
"Then why am I the one staying behind?" Liu Yao pouted, looking displeased as she stared at Ye Yu.
"Because I'm stronger than you!"
With that, Ye Yu made his way directly to the largest Seagull-Class Battleship. The battleships were already in an operational state, and since they had just been received from the Amethyst Society, they were set to factory settings, allowing Ye Yu to use them without any identity verification.
The Seagull-Class Battleship was significantly larger than the Swift-Class Battleship, and there was a ladder leading up to the cockpit. In a flash, Ye Yu appeared in the cockpit.
"Liu Yao, if I die, you'll take over security here!" As soon as he sat down in the cockpit, Ye Yu seemed to remember something and called out to Liu Yao.
Liu Yao was momentarily stunned by his words; by the time she reacted, Ye Yu had already sealed the transparent protective shield of the cockpit! A flicker of something unusual crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Liu Qi, Te Shan... you five stick with the captain. The rest of you stay with me!"
...
On the shadowed side of Withered Source Star, all was quiet. The bustling scene of spaceships coming and going felt like a distant memory. In every direction visible, dozens of dark dots were flying toward Withered Source Star.
Suddenly, a deep sound erupted from a dark opening, creating a sonic boom. However, as there was no atmosphere on Withered Source Star, the sound abruptly ceased.
Suddenly, a silver-white Battleship, over ten meters long, shot out in the blink of an eye. Following closely behind were two crimson Wasp-Class Battleships, and finally, three black-and-white Swift-Class Battleships.
At the moment all the Battleships flew out, they automatically formed a triangular formation, with Ye Yu's Seagull-Class Battleship at the forefront.
"Ten seconds to prepare!" Ye Yu activated the communicator and immediately commanded. At this moment, the Wavebreaker Legion's Battleships were only a few minutes away from them; the battle in the starry sky was about to begin!
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
...
With Ye Yu's command, the automatic timer started counting down. Everyone immediately began to adjust their states and conducted a final check on the status of their Battleships!
Ten seconds was neither long nor short. Ye Yu watched as the approaching ships drew nearer, his heart racing. There were at least two squadrons on the opposing side, which according to Federation standards meant there were thirty-two Space Battleships. If they weren't careful, all six of them could be wiped out!
Just then, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yu, and a figure materialized beside him. At that moment, he looked particularly solid, almost indistinguishable from a real person.
"Fortunately, I absorbed enough energy last night; otherwise, it would be difficult for me to assist you today!" The figure was Jin Shan, standing next to Ye Yu with a serious expression.
Ye Yu remained silent as Jin Shan's form blurred and merged directly into the ship. Moments later, a mechanical voice echoed in Ye Yu's ear: "Warning System activated; formation link warning completed!"
