Playfulness would not affect their cooperation, as they were all professionals.
Having spent so many years in the Underworld, their mutual understanding could not be summed up in just a few words. Without needing to speak, several leaders guided their troops and soon spotted a massive Battleship looming in the sky ahead.
The Battleship was enormous, vast and endless, blocking out the radiant sunlight and casting a shadow over the area.
That Battleship was the Command Ship of the Scorpion Army, which meant that Xiao Ji was aboard. The key to quickly resolving this battle lay there.
However, before attacking, they paused. Because Wu had something to say.
“Do you remember the footage Brother Jufeng showed us of their first meeting with Xiao Ji?”
During their journey through space, they had spent most of their time gathering information about the Suihuan Army, watching numerous materials. They paid particular attention to iconic figures like her.
The others were puzzled by Wu's sudden remark, but Politeness quickly understood.
He looked up at the distant Command Ship and asked, “Are you suggesting that Xiao Ji might not be there?”
Zhu Yao, prompted by Politeness's insight, grasped Wu's intention as well. In that footage, what left the deepest impression of Xiao Ji was not her exceptional Sniper Rifle skills or her stunning appearance, but rather her cunning nature.
Wu replied, “Exactly. That's what I'm worried about. So I’ll sneak in first to confirm. Then we can all attack together.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhu Yao often preferred to follow Wu’s lead. Thus, they temporarily assisted the First Army and Scorpion Army in battle while waiting for news from Wu.
Wu piloted his mech, racing ahead of everyone else. His mech had an abstract name: Fifth.
Fifth was a compound surname from a hundred family names and related to his own name. The deeper meaning behind it became casual when spoken by Wu.
Fifth was dark-colored, like most mechs, adhering to the assassin's principle of camouflage. Therefore, as Wu approached the Command Ship in Fifth, he did not raise any alarms among the others.
He scanned the area and found an exit. However, his own mech was completely unable to enter, as the entry to the Battleship was like a barcode that would be verified. If it was discovered at the moment of entry that he was not from the same faction, he would face a barrage of fire from the Battleship and instant lockdown of the entrance.
But he had another plan. He spotted a lone mech not far away and swiftly pursued it.
He landed a punch, not too hard, then turned and ran.
The person attacked was a Blue Level Lower Tier from the Scorpion Army, and he had just recently been promoted to that rank.
The distinction between Azure Rank and Azure Level was significant. When one was at Azure Rank, they might hesitate when provoked, but being at Azure Level meant they held absolute superiority on the battlefield. Faced with such provocation from Wu, how could he endure?
Enraged, he chased after Wu, leading them both into a forest.
There were not many mechs fighting there, providing just enough cover. Moments later, the Azure Level mech flew back into the sky, but Fifth never emerged again.
Was Xiao Ji aboard this Battleship? Of course she was.
At that moment, she sat in the command room, watching the rapidly changing battle reports on the screen and listening to her subordinates' updates.
Beside her was still that talkative girl.
"General, we still haven't seen any sign of Jufeng and his team. However, there is a division we've never encountered before joining the battle. Their combat capabilities are strong; it seems to be the main force of the Dragon Breaker Army."
After hearing her subordinate's report, Xiao Ji shook her head and focused on several mechs performing well in battle. "Qi Fa and Ouyang Chang do not fight like this. Moreover, the Dragon Breaker Army is known for its coordination; even a hundred Azure Ranks under their command can perform at levels close to Azure Level. That’s what makes the Dragon Breaker Army formidable. But look at these people; their organization is clearly lacking. I suspect they are from that army from Earth."
The name of the Hurricane Army had already spread within the Suihuan Army; after all, this sudden appearance of an unpredictable force posed a significant threat to them.
"Just as rumored, there are quite a few skilled fighters. But they clearly lack coordination. Hmph, just in time for me to crush you before you grow stronger. Relay orders to concentrate fire towards..."
"Report, Commander, we have an infiltration on the Battleship."
"Report, General, a female officer has been attacked. The person who entered was a man, and he asked her if you were on this Battleship. He was very professional, and in her panic... she told him."
Xiao Ji's words were interrupted by two urgent reports that followed in quick succession. Since this Battleship was primarily staffed by female soldiers, the tense voices sounded sharp and piercing, pulling Xiao Ji back from her shock.
She suddenly stood up, realizing the severity of the situation. The fact that someone would inquire about her presence on this Battleship made their intentions quite clear.
She immediately issued orders: "Shut down all mecha entrances and activate the Battleship's emergency protocols. Have the Royal Guard stationed at both exits."
Xiao Ji took a moment to calm herself and added, "Stay close at all times."
She was not panicking; as a Commander of the Dragon Head Army, she had faced countless storms and emergencies. Yet there was a sense of unease within her; this method of combat was too direct, too brutal. Moreover, the fact that they had infiltrated right after arriving on the planet demonstrated a level of execution that made Xiao Ji reconsider her earlier thoughts.
Perhaps in terms of organization, they were not as formidable as the Dragon Breaker Army, but every military force had its unique combat style. As long as they won, who cared about the process?
However, Xiao Ji's orders came too late. Watching the mechas flooding onto the screen, she knew it was already too late.
Yet she would not sit idly by; she immediately took remedial measures.
"Notify the Second Division and Third Division to provide immediate support. The Battleship is moving to Outer Space; prepare for Battleship separation."
The so-called Battleship separation meant that in the vastness of Outer Space, everything except for the command center would be isolated. This required immense force and could not be accomplished within the planet's atmosphere.
However, the Battleship was not a mecha; it required a certain cooldown time to activate. From a stationary state to being in Outer Space would take a total of two minutes.
As five members of Politeness arrived just in time at the Battleship's entrance, one of them said seriously, "We only have two minutes; we need to move quickly."
“Tong Bailong and the Brothers are responsible for cover. Politeness and Zhu Yao will follow me directly to the command center.”
Although Tong Bailong is nominally the Master, in terms of battlefield strategy, it is generally up to Wu to execute these clever plans. As for Tong Bailong's role, it will become evident during the confrontation with the Royal Guard.
No one can deny Tong Bailong's extensive experience in large-scale mech operations. After all, they were all trained personally by Tong Bailong.
A well-coordinated army that has spent two years growing together, the Master and the soldiers have developed a unique bond. Other armies likely do not share such an experience.
Tong Bailong nodded heavily, turned around, and plunged into battle. Although there were only a dozen of them, while there were at least a hundred inside the Battleship, he still had complete confidence.
In this stand, he would prove the dignity that comes from Earth.
