The occurrence of an incident is often sudden, unexpected; the targeted party usually reacts with anger, as people generally dislike losing control over situations.
Thus, in the command room, Shangguan Wangyu was furious.
As the battleships from all directions began to flash brightly towards their destination, Shangguan Wangyu's immediate and decisive response exceeded everyone's expectations after his anger subsided.
He swept out of the command room, piloting the Prince alongside the Mecha Squad, hovering in the starry sky as they sped towards the besieged planet.
Before leaving, he stated, "You handle the battleship situation yourselves."
The group in the command room exchanged bewildered glances, caught off guard by Shangguan Wangyu's abrupt orders.
It was undoubtedly a rare command style; in that moment, they were unsure whether to feel relieved or distressed.
As Shangguan Wangyu departed, the first wave of attacks struck the fleet, causing half of the mechs aboard the trapped battleships to sway precariously.
The Suihuan Army's battleships had a higher energy reserve compared to those of the United Forces, allowing two or three of their battleships, including the Command Ship, to escape.
The rest were essentially unable to leave, except for the heavy ships. Due to their strong defensive capabilities, they could withstand such bombardment.
After three waves of artillery fire, Shangguan Wangyu's battleships suffered significant losses, with half destroyed—a considerable achievement. Yet this victory was still insufficient.
Consequently, Ikeda Kenji and Pan An issued consecutive orders for both fleets to engage in battle.
In an instant, artillery fire lit up the cosmos and star domain, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
...
The battleship's artillery was immense and bright enough to illuminate the starry sky. Yet amidst this brilliance were countless faint glimmers that flickered like fireflies.
Those were mechs.
Under the leadership of Shangguan Wangyu, the Mecha Squad swiftly departed from the Fleet. However, their journey ahead was fraught with difficulties, as Jufeng had already prepared countermeasures, with Lu Hongyu lying in wait along their path.
Zhang Huwei's Mecha Squad, under the pressure from Cao Ke, was left with very few members. They had initially thought they could delay Shangguan Wangyu. Unfortunately, it was a sad reality that Shangguan Wangyu did not even pause; he swept through their ranks and continued onward.
Following Shangguan Wangyu were the elite mecha warriors who had suddenly appeared from Huankezhao. They trailed behind him like the tail of a comet, moving with such momentum that they ignored Lu Hongyu's presence entirely.
Lu Hongyu was furious; his anger over Commander Zhang's death, who had shown him kindness, burned fiercely within him.
Yet, as he watched the unstoppable force of those standing at the pinnacle of the mecha realm move away, Lu Hongyu's eyes filled with bloodshot fury, but he did not lose his composure in the face of his rage.
Commander Zhang Huwei often quoted a saying that he kept on the right side of his seat to encourage promising juniors like Lu Hongyu.
"Meditation breeds poison."
In the heat of battle, there was no time for meditation, but Lu Hongyu had absorbed enough knowledge to self-instruct.
"All Thirteenth Army mecha members, listen up! Let their front line pass through; focus all your efforts on taking down their rear guard!"
The Thirteenth Army served as Zhang Huwei's Imperial Guard, their strength ranking just below the five Dragon Head Armies. All Mecha Squads were well-trained. At Lu Hongyu's command, everyone executed the order reluctantly, channeling their anger into confronting the rear guard—those whose strength matched their own.
When both sides were evenly matched, the battle held suspense and offered something to watch. Who would be interested in watching an adult fight a child?
The combat was intense; Lu Hongyu's ambush proved effective. It was a textbook ambush strategy that left the enemy in a stalemate.
Minutes into the Mecha Combat, a large squadron of mechas appeared in the distance like dark clouds rolling in.
However, these mechas did not linger; instead, they pursued Shangguan Wangyu from various directions—above, below, and all around.
...
The war within the planet became increasingly tense. After several hours, it no longer resembled a planet at all.
The thick smoke in the air had mostly dissipated, revealing patches of pure blue sky. The blaze in the forest continued to spread, and if it didn't rain soon, this pristine woodland might be reduced to ashes before liberation.
The ground was pockmarked with craters, blackened spots, and scorched earth, scattered with metallic debris and countless Heroic Souls.
Soldiers who died on the battlefield, whether from the victorious side or the defeated; whether from the righteous or the wicked; could all be considered heroes.
At the peak of a mountain, five mechs were locked in combat, and the odds seemed extremely unfair at four against one.
However, looking at the outcome, it was quite even. The situation on the battlefield for both sides was identical; neither had gained a clear advantage.
Cao Ke was exhausted now, as were the four opponents across from him. Sweat had long since evaporated inside their mechs, and their clothes had been dampened and dried countless times.
Anyone who had endured several hours of combat could hardly maintain their vigor.
Each mech bore numerous scars, resembling seasoned veterans stained by blood on the battlefield.
Combat aged people; time showed no mercy.
A shell exploded between the two sides, sending sand and stones flying as a mountain gale swept through, creating a barrier that separated them.
Neither side pursued recklessly anymore, as they were utterly fatigued. They merely stared at each other, their gazes unreadable.
A gentle mountain breeze blew at the summit; even inside the mechs, one could feel the chill from outside.
As they remained locked in a stalemate, suddenly a mech surged down from higher ground. Cao Ke looked up and recognized a familiar figure, slowly breaking into a smile within his cockpit.
Yet behind that smile, worry crept onto Cao Ke's face as he fell into deep thought.
Shangguan Wangyu charged forward with great speed, none of the passing mechs able to intercept him. But because of this, he created an empty space behind him filled with his fellow mechs.
Cao Ke knew that Shangguan Wangyu was someone who acted without regard for consequences. In truth, he was more reckless than anyone else; it was just that due to family reasons, he had suppressed himself throughout his growth.
Chuyang was an opportunity that set Shangguan Wangyu on a path of madness.
To save time, Cao Ke sent a signal into the air, drawing Shangguan Wangyu towards him.
Meanwhile, behind a cluster of mechs, there was a vast expanse covered in darkness. The black mechs blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow over the area.
Two streaks of light raced towards the mountaintop; one was a hurricane, while the other surprised everyone.
It was a two-person mech, inside which were two individuals.
One of them spoke, their voice ringing in Shangguan Wangyu's ears, causing him to pause in astonishment.
It was a female voice, one he had longed to hear for days.
