At that moment, Wang Jincheng, Zhang Feng, and Wan Xiaoqi exclaimed, "We’ll go with you!" Meng Xingchen, Bai Zhenzhen, and Youmi were also eager to join but hesitated, knowing their mech piloting skills were lacking, so they refrained from speaking up.
Lin Yao observed their determined expressions and nodded. "You can go, but you must follow Captain Qiqi's orders along the way. Especially you, Yao Beiluo—do not act on your own!"
"I understand, Captain!"
Seeing her team grow into capable individuals, Lin Yao couldn't help but smile with pride.
She then issued a command for Hatu No. 1 to contact the nearby starships and deploy low-yield weapons to create trouble for the Eastern Starships that had escaped from the combat center. This was to buy time for the rescue escape pod mech team.
Hatu No. 1 was also busy; it targeted those starships that had moved far from the battlefield, unleashing firepower to keep them occupied.
Maintaining a delicate balance on the battlefield, the mech team successfully reached the escape pod and prepared to drag it out. Suddenly, a starship cannon fired right beside them.
Lin Yao's eyes narrowed.
The cannon had been fired by an Eastern Starship that had just escaped the chaos center. They were close enough to have noticed the mech team's unusual activity and fired a shot to test the situation.
Kiqi was startled and anxious, speaking urgently over the comms: "Lin Yao, that was terrifying! Quickly take out that starship!"
"No," Lin Yao replied firmly. "That starship is too close to the chaos center. If Hatu No. 1 attacks it, it will definitely affect you. Just hold on; find some cover and wait for my signal for the next move!"
Yao Beiluo felt frustrated as they were so close to the escape pod. "Captain, we’re almost there! I request permission to risk dragging out the escape pod!"
Lin Yao rejected him outright. "Yao Beiluo, remember your promise to me. Follow my orders and find cover immediately!"
The Eastern Starship seemed only to be probing; after firing that shot and realizing the mech team had vanished, it fired again in frustration.
Seeing the escape pod nearly drift away due to that shot, Yao Beiluo grew anxious.
Ignoring Lin Yao's command, he prepared to rush out from behind cover to pull the escape pod.
At that moment, Zhang Feng, who had been watching him closely, grabbed his mech arm. "Yao Beiluo, don’t act impulsively!" Wang Jincheng warned. "The captain understands the battlefield situation best right now; you must listen to her! Do not act recklessly or you’ll ruin everything!"
Yao Beiluo finally calmed down a bit.
Meanwhile, other starships from their expedition team noticed the Eastern Starship and began attacking it to divert its attention away instantly.
Watching the Eastern Starship slowly depart, Lin Yao finally spoke, "Captain Koqi, we can prepare to drag the escape pod now."
"Understood!"
The mech squad quickly emerged from their cover and swiftly approached the escape pod. Just as they began to drag it, the Eastern Starship eerily turned back around and aimed its cannons at them.
Feeling the threat, Koqi broke into a sweat. "Lin... Lin Yao, what do we do now?"
Lin Yao noticed the situation as well but maintained a calm tone. "Listen to me. You don't need to worry about anything else; just focus on dragging the escape pod out."
Koqi hesitated for a moment.
"Drag!" Lin Yao commanded directly.
Ten mechs exerted their strength simultaneously, instantly pulling the escape pod free from the grasp of the chaotic nebula.
"Now, all mechs prepare. When I count down from three, you will all charge into the chaotic nebula and fire your high-powered cannons. At the same time, deactivate your anti-gravity mode."
Lin Yao's tone was steady and powerful, instilling a sense of confidence in everyone.
At that moment, the members of the mech squad, including Koqi, focused entirely on her orders without any further thought.
"Three, two, one, fire!"
The results of twenty years of training for Team Guang were on full display. In this critical moment, no one fell behind or made mistakes; each person executed their tasks with precision.
Under Lin Yao's command, the ten mechs fired their high-powered cannons simultaneously, blasting open the chaotic nebula once more and pulling in an adjacent advanced starship.
Meanwhile, with their gravity systems deactivated, the ten mechs surprisingly were not pulled into the chaotic nebula; instead, they were pushed even farther away by the explosion.
The mech squad that had escaped with their lives and saved the escape pod was filled with joy.
Wang Jincheng couldn't help but ask, "Captain, how did you know that deactivating the gravity system would save us?"
"Don't forget that your mechs have been specially modified. The outer material can repel the nebula. As for deactivating the anti-gravity system, once it's turned off, the mechs will naturally flow with the currents," Lin Yao explained.
"How simple! Why didn't I think of that?"
Lin Yao merely smiled and chose not to respond further.
"I have arranged for the nearest starship to pick you up. Make sure to board on time."
With the escape pod already dragged out, Lin Yao felt no hesitation and began a vigorous counterattack. Upon discovering that the Yunmeng Star System lacked sufficient high-grade energy stones for the Hatu No. 1, Lin Yao decided to modify its energy system.
The modification was both simple and complex. All it required was an energy matrix connected to the energy system, allowing low-grade energy stones to power the Hatu No. 1. The challenge lay in how to connect the matrix to the energy system. This task consumed a lot of their time and even led to the self-destruction of the main ship of Expeditionary Force One right before their eyes.
Now that all problems were resolved, Lin Yao could fight without any worries. By the time the nearest Expeditionary Forces Two and Three arrived, the remnants of Expeditionary Force One were already busy cleaning up the battlefield.
When everyone gathered at the base of Expeditionary Force One, they heard about the return of the Special Operations Team and Light Squad, who had defeated the advanced fleet from Dongyang. Both Tang Yunting, the commander of Expeditionary Force Two, and Wang Sanquan, the deputy commander of Expeditionary Force Three, were left astonished.
"Lin Yao, my young friend! It’s been twenty years; you’ve grown to this extent?" Wang Sanquan laughed.
Lin Yao smiled and nodded, "Uncle Sanquan, it’s been a while! But it’s not just me who has grown; everyone has improved!"
Soon after, Wang Jincheng returned from another starship after completing his mission. Upon seeing Wang Sanquan, the uncle and nephew quickly engaged in warm conversation.
This was Tang Yunting's first time meeting Lin Yao. Having heard that she commanded this battle, he looked at her with some skepticism. "You were in charge of this battle?"
