When Belche learned that his elite Mecha Battalion was facing their old rivals, the Sidolan Squadron, he felt frustrated by his miscalculation. He had not anticipated that the Martians would send such a large fleet into space. His carefully nurtured elite Mecha Battalion was thus doomed.
Belche was supposed to be quite cunning. To eliminate Kairuot and Fair Connie, he painstakingly considered the Martians' reinforcements and dispatched his most elite Mecha Battalion along with a squadron. Led by the Belshinger Squadron, they would quickly reinforce each other when encountering strong enemies, making it a foolproof plan. Yet even such a strategy could be swiftly swallowed by failure, leaving one feeling hopeless.
In a state of panic, Belche hurriedly ordered the remaining mechs to find a way to escape.
In fact, without Belche's evacuation order, the remaining Capricornian mechs had already lost their will to fight and began to retreat.
The Sidolan mechs grew bolder in battle, and the enemy mechs were unable to break free from the encirclement. Kairuot, having destroyed several enemy mechs, set his sights on the enemy's Command Ship. The two sides exchanged blows for over ten rounds, but the Command Ship could not shake off its pursuers—this infuriated the soldiers of the Capricorn Army aboard the Command Ship, who decided to go down fighting. Relying on its massive size, it charged full speed at Kairuot's mechs.
Kairuot instantly saw through the enemy's intentions and dodged just in time, causing the Command Ship to miss its target. Unwilling to back down, the Command Ship attempted to turn around and engage Kairuot in close combat again. At that moment, three Sidolan mechs arrived to assist and launched missiles at the Command Ship. In response, the Command Ship deployed countermeasures and successfully evaded the first two missiles but could not escape the third—hit hard, it staggered as it accelerated away from the ambush zone.
Kairuot would not let it escape and pursued with all his might in the direction of the fleeing enemy.
Soon in the cosmic battleground, only one enemy Command Ship remained. The Battleship Base commander Kai Ruo Yunpeng ordered a retreat; however, only one mech did not comply—Kairuot.
Kai Ruo Yunpeng called out to Kairuot multiple times without success and realized he was determined to chase after that Command Ship... To protect him, Commander Bellwen had no choice but to order the Battleship Base to follow Kairuot's mech at full speed.
The mech was slightly faster than the Capricorn Army's Command Ship. Within days of pursuit, they reached the edge of Capricorn Planet. The fierce battle resumed until reinforcements from the Capricorn Army arrived. Under the powerful firepower of Capricorn Planet, the Command Ship managed to escape back to the planet. Kairuot had no choice but to return his mech to the Battleship Base.
At this point, Capricorn Planet had stopped moving and stood in confrontation with Mars Battleship Base.
Kairuot's reckless actions were met with a severe reprimand from his father Kairuoka on the communication screen. However, Kairuot told his father that now was the best opportunity to eliminate Capricorn Star King Belche and proceeded to lay out his reasons. After careful consideration, his father ultimately agreed to his request but warned him not to act recklessly and to prioritize their safety while seizing opportunities as they arose.
A elite Mecha Battalion from Belche and a squad were annihilated. He loathed the Martians' Battleship Base, cursing, "What a foolish overestimation! A mere base thinks it can shake my vast Capricorn Planet? I will make sure you have no way back!"
Belche then decided to rely on the powerful firepower of Capricorn Planet to retaliate against the enemy base. The formidable firepower of Capricorn Planet launched various heavy attacks on the Martians' base for several consecutive days. However, the base's defense system was even more fortified than the enemy had anticipated. After days of ineffective attacks, the legion responsible for fire suppression from Capricorn Planet found themselves at a loss.
Soon, both sides fell into a stalemate. The Martians' base remained quietly on the sidelines, neither moving nor retaliating.
Belche was in a state of restless anxiety.
At that moment, Bel I offered him a plan: "Why don't we lure the Martians' mechs into action and then eliminate them one by one?"
"That seems like a viable strategy. So, which unit's mechs should we send to lure them?"
"That needs to be specified—of course, it should be our best unit! After all, they are the best troops from Mars. Our mechs cannot be wiped out before they even have a chance to fight back; otherwise, they lose their purpose as bait," Bel I replied.
Belche pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's send the Royal Guard's Mecha Battalion."
"Can they handle it?" Bel I hesitated, saying, "They are just robots without brains."
Belche rarely changed his decisions and ignored Bel I's opinion, ordering all soldiers of Capricorn Planet to prepare for battle and cover the Royal Guard Mecha Battalion's sortie.
Soon after, the Royal Guard mechs surged forth like locusts toward the Martians' base. However, no matter how much the Capricornian forces provoked them, the Martians' base remained unmoved.
In the following days, the Capricorn Planet army seemed to be performing a solo act while the Martians' base stayed still, completely ignoring the disturbances caused by the Capricornian mechs.
In fact, the Martians had been secretly observing. Kairuot discovered that the challengers were the mechs of the Royal Guard, led by the Fifteenth Legion and Sixteenth Legion. These robots had always been under his control—he knew the huge secret that the robots of the Royal Guard's Mecha Battalion were not entirely under Belche's control, as Bel I had already made adjustments. Therefore, Kairuot had been trying to contact the Royal Guard mechs that came to challenge them, but due to the Electronic Interference from Capricorn Planet a couple of days ago, the Signal could not be sent out.
Today, as the Electronic Interference from Capricornian weakened, Kairuot quickly contacted members of the Fifteenth Legion and Sixteenth Legion. He secretly instructed these members to record the deployment of Capricorn Planet while returning above the planet and quietly transmitted their recorded footage to Mars Base through a concealed quantum communication channel.
After three days of reconnaissance, the Martians had a basic understanding of Capricorn Planet's defenses. On the sixth day, Capricorn Planet sent out the palace's Fifteenth Legion and Sixteenth Legion again, but Kairuot issued them an order to attack and destroy Capricorn Planet!
Thus began a shocking scene for the Capricorn Army—the mechs of the Royal Guard's Fifteenth Legion and Sixteenth Legion suddenly launched a bombardment on important departments and key positions of Capricorn Planet, leaving the Command Center in chaos.
Next, the entire palace Mecha Battalion turned against them and joined in the destruction of Capricorn Planet. Many troops on Capricorn Planet no longer followed Belche's commands and turned their weapons against Belche's loyal forces. Realizing that there was an internal issue, Belche attempted to activate another defense system, but it was too late; these important departments had already been taken over by other forces, while the Martians' Mecha Battalion also rushed in amidst the chaos.
Instantly, Capricorn Planet was engulfed in flames, with most important facilities destroyed. The entire Capricorn Planet was in disarray, and it seemed that the Command Center was ineffective. No one listened to Belche's shouts anymore; he felt that all hope was lost and could only think about how to escape.
Belche immediately ordered the patrolling Mother Ship base outside Capricorn Planet to rush towards it at all costs to reinforce Capricorn Planet and rescue him from his perilous situation.
The Mars Battleship Base quickly approached Capricorn Planet, using its powerful firepower to systematically destroy the obvious defensive weapons surrounding Capricorn Planet.
The massive Capricorn Planet was not afraid of the Martians' Battleship Base; it moved rapidly, attempting to use its mass to crash into the Martians' Battleship Base. Although the Battleship Base was also large, it appeared much smaller compared to Capricorn Planet. If they collided head-on, it would certainly not withstand a crash from Capricorn Planet and could only quickly evade.
Seeing that this attempt to crash into Mars' Battleship Base failed again, Belche felt frustrated but was not ready to give up—he shouted at the officer controlling the planet on screen: "I command you to advance at full speed and crash into their base at all costs."
Unfortunately for Belche, his orders came too late; all officers controlling the planet had been captured by Bel I's forces. Bel I smiled at Belche on screen and said, "Sorry, Belche King, but I don't want our planet to get damaged; repairs would be difficult and costly."
