The first feeling that washed over Ye Yu upon hearing the deep voice of the man was one of resonance, even more enchanting than the voice of the most beautiful female singer in the Federation.
"I am Ye Yu!" At that moment, Ye Yu rarely displayed the emotions typical of a boy under twenty—joy and a sense of relief after surviving a calamity.
"Received, Captain Ye. We will use a mechanical arm to bring you back to Mountain Starship Three!" Soon, there was a response from the other side, and Ye Yu saw several Space Battleships patrolling nearby, repelling any enemy ships that attempted to approach.
Then, Ye Yu felt a gentle tremor in the pod. Through the transparent high-strength glass, he saw a metallic arm resembling that of a multi-segmented creature tightly grasping the Escape Pod.
"Captain Ye, please fasten your seatbelt; it will be a bit fast shortly!" The rescue team reminded him after connecting to Ye Yu's spacecraft.
"Understood!" Ye Yu instinctively nodded and tightened the already fastened seatbelt. After all, the Escape Pod was ejected from a combat ship, so its safety measures were naturally on par with those of a combat vessel.
In the next moment, the previously motionless Escape Pod began to accelerate with the movements of the rescue ship. Although Mountain Ship Three appeared to be within reach, it took some time to fly over due to considerations for the Escape Pod's carrying capacity.
"Ye Yu!"
Just as Ye Yu stepped onto Mountain Ship Three, a massive shadow suddenly appeared before him, accompanied by a deep voice tinged with relief.
"Hulk!"
The newcomer was indeed Hulk. Ye Yu walked over and patted Hulk's shoulder. He could clearly see that Hulk was genuinely concerned for his safety; otherwise, he wouldn't have come personally to retrieve Ye Yu amidst such tense warfare.
"What exactly happened? How did you end up in the enemy's Escape Pod? Did you cause the explosion inside their Battleship?" Although Hulk appeared robust and strong, his mind was extremely meticulous as he bombarded Ye Yu with questions.
Ye Yu smiled awkwardly, realizing he had perhaps overstepped. If it weren't for Hulk's swift actions, he might have already become dust among the stars.
"There's a lot to discuss, but for now, we should deal with the Wavebreaker Legion first." Ye Yu understood that what he had done was somewhat unbelievable, but at this moment, he couldn't afford to explain anything.
With that, Ye Yu headed towards the Command Hall. As the leader of the Shadow Team, he felt no need to hold back. However, after just a couple of steps, he activated the Lightness Technique and vanished like a wisp of smoke. The few people left behind were left in shock; this young man always exuded an air of mystery that was hard to decipher.
...
Looking at the Holographic Battle Situation Display hovering in the center of the Command Hall, Ye Yu couldn't help but smile. The recent thrilling escape had not been in vain; the energy readings indicated that the battleship he had just fled from was undergoing continuous explosions and was beyond control. Ye Yu believed that even with all its redundant designs, there was no way this battleship could successfully escape.
Of course, this was also thanks to Hulk's rapid actions, which concentrated a massive amount of firepower on the battleship while it was exploding, preventing it from regaining control and plunging it into a vicious cycle!
The Wavebreaker Legion had ravaged the Northern District for countless years. Neither the National Defense Army nor the Silver Dragon Guard under Dragon City Lord had managed to inflict any real damage despite several attempts. Yet now, this newcomer Ye Yu had severely weakened their main force and then pursued their remnants for a final strike. It was clear that even if the Wavebreaker Legion did not face total annihilation this time, they would never regain their former glory.
Ye Yu watched as enemy ships continued to explode and instinctively urged the weapons commander on. He even resorted to using the energy-intensive Combined Laser Cannon to deliver a fatal blow to an enemy ship that was already on the brink of losing its combat capability. Naturally, this meant that three expensive 5-inch Laser Cannons were completely rendered useless.
"Ye Yu, the Combined Laser Cannon is ready!" At that moment, Li Zhe, commander of the High Mountain II Battleship, appeared before Ye Yu—albeit only as a holographic image.
Having just heard Ye Yu casually recount his recent "excursion" to the enemy ship, Li Zhe couldn't help but feel that even with his superior combat skills and intelligence, he would never have been able to accomplish such feats. At this moment, Li Zhe genuinely admired Ye Yu's personal strength. Thus, he had no objections to Ye Yu's offensive plan.
"Good. Order the other combat teams to retreat to safe positions and prepare for a final strike against the enemy!" At this point, two starships were besieging an enemy battleship of equal class—not merely for slaughter but enough to render their opponent powerless to retaliate. Moreover, with the Mountain-Class Battleship equipped with such a powerful Combined Laser Cannon, there was no doubt about the outcome of the battle.
Just after the second Invincible-Class Battleship turned into cosmic dust, less than half a Federation hour later, the last battleship was struck by the Combined Laser Cannon from High Mountain II Battleship. The scene quickly spiraled out of control as dense High-Energy Star War Missiles followed relentlessly and detonated this massive battleship within ten minutes.
It was a long story, but everything had happened in just a few moments. The once formidable Wavebreaker Legion had been completely annihilated. Not long ago, the Wavebreaker Legion had been ambitious, attempting to crush the Silver Dragon Guard and seize the Withered Source Star. Now, it had turned into an irreversible journey of death.
Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion. The Wavebreaker Legion had existed for a thousand years; they could not have acted impulsively. Although their attack on the Withered Source Star had almost succeeded, it was still far too reckless.
However, soon a hint of relief appeared on Ye Yu's face. He understood that this vast world held far too many things he could not comprehend. If that were the case, why should he trouble himself?
"Set course for home!" At this moment, Ye Yu had taken control of Ship Three and, seeing that the Remnants of the Breaking Wave had been destroyed, he naturally would not linger any longer. After all, although this star region was theoretically part of the Federation's territory, its great distance from the central area still posed unpredictable dangers.
With Ye Yu's command, the fleet composed of two ships began to adjust its course toward Silver Dragon Star. Yet at this moment, everyone seemed to be immersed in the joy of victory and did not notice a slight energy anomaly signal displayed on the monitoring system.
