Cao Ke only needed a glance to identify the key issue. It was the damage caused by the mecha's self-detonation to the Battleship.
Coincidentally, Jufeng's communication opened at just the right moment.
Cao Ke did not return to adjust the deployment because he knew his subordinates were capable of handling emergencies. He was simply curious about one question.
"Aren't you afraid this will provoke public outrage?"
The self-detonation of the mecha meant that the pilot inside was unlikely to survive. While this method caused significant destruction, it went against human sentiment. How could those vibrant lives be sacrificed in such a brutal manner for victory?
However, Jufeng's response made him frown.
"The mecha is not ours. Have you forgotten Jiang Xue's research? Within a certain range, we can remotely control it."
Upon hearing Jufeng's words, Cao Ke fully understood the implication. Ever since Jiang Xue's research succeeded, everyone had focused on constructing defensive measures in space, forgetting the fundamental purpose of that achievement.
"Very well, you've taught me a lesson. However, today I still won; I will achieve my goal. And afterward, you will regret this."
With varying degrees of damage to the Battleship, Cao Ke could no longer afford to linger in battle and quickly returned to his mecha. Jufeng wanted to pursue but realized that the soldiers of the Suihuan Army, awakened by the violent sounds around them, would make any pursuit futile.
What did Cao Ke's final words mean? Jufeng couldn't figure it out but had a bad feeling, so he directly connected with the First Army's communication.
However, to Jufeng's disappointment, Pand Zhong completely ignored him.
If Pand Zhong could foresee what would happen in two minutes, he certainly would not have made such a stubborn decision.
Unfortunately, everything that happens in this world is inevitable.
Two minutes can be incredibly precious; a lot can happen in that time, such as turning a commander into a captive in your hands.
Wusan leaped over numerous obstacles, traversing the winding paths inside the Command Ship. When he arrived at the door of the command room, it seemed slow, but in reality, it had only taken half a minute.
Then they saw dozens of mechs blocking the entrance to the command room.
These were the elite guards of the Scorpion Army, the best of the best, all at the Azure Level upper tier.
The space was very cramped, making it impossible to unleash any significant attacks. Even if you knocked down one Azure Level upper-tier mech with a punch, it could easily get back up moments later and continue to engage you.
Moreover, the main door of the command room had high-level defensive capabilities; the mechs' Shells were simply insufficient to breach it.
Time passed slowly in anxious anticipation, but no matter how slow it was, two minutes would eventually come.
Wusan felt anxious but had no good solutions. Sensing the subtle changes in gravity within the Battleship, he knew that the Command Ship had already ascended to atmospheric level and was about to leave the planet's surface.
If the command room separated from the Command Ship, capturing Xiao Ji would become exceedingly difficult. She had her Battleship in Outer Space; once she safely transferred, she would lead her forces back down to the surface. The ensuing assault would likely be even more ferocious due to her anger.
When a woman gets angry, her combat power and reaction abilities can increase exponentially.
Wusan could only attempt a somewhat reliable method. He said to Politeness and Zhu Yao, "Let's try stacking Shells."
This idea had been discussed before; while an individual's strength is limited, collective strength has boundless potential.
Stacking Shells means layering Shells at a frequency of zero seconds onto the previous Shell. Simply put, after Wusan fires the first Shell at zero seconds, Zhu Yao would also fire a Shell toward a specific target at zero seconds, followed by Politeness doing the same.
The more times they stack Shells, the greater their power becomes. Theoretically, a stacked Shell's destructive force would be n times stronger than simply firing Shells simultaneously. In other words, three people stacking Shells would have six times more power than three people firing Shells at the same target simultaneously.
However, it was still uncertain whether it would succeed.
Politeness and Zhu Yao exchanged glances, and with years of experience, they quickly regrouped.
The overlapping Shells required precise timing, and their coordination had to be exceptionally harmonious.
Wuzhi seized an opportunity and launched the first Shell without hesitation, targeting the center of the command room door.
Following Wuzhi, Zhu Yao and Politeness executed the overlap at the exact moment, nearly flawlessly.
Three Shells arrived sequentially at the command room's main door, bursting forth in a cloud of smoke.
The three anxiously awaited the truth that would emerge once the smoke cleared.
Moments later, the smoke dissipated, but unfortunately, the truth was harsh.
The command room door remained tightly shut.
Inside the command room, Xiao Ji felt the violent tremors from earlier; his heart raced in his chest.
It was truly concerning, but fortunately, the outcome after the tremors was positive.
The magnificent starry sky lay before him. Soon, Xiao Ji would issue the order to separate. At that point, the Battleships within the Command Ship would be trapped with no way to escape.
Time was running out; there were less than ten seconds remaining.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but start counting down in his mind: 8, 7, 6, 5...
As Xiao Ji was about to press the separation button, she was suddenly knocked off balance by a violent tremor from behind, nearly falling to the ground.
She looked incredulously at the man standing at the command room door, her thoughts in disarray.
Why? How could he come in?
The situation was actually quite simple; the person at the door was Tong Bailong, who had rushed over.
Seeing that Shell had made a mistake, he felt a surge of urgency and suddenly thought of a plan with Jufeng: using the mecha for self-detonation.
Time was tight, and there was no opportunity to use the enemy's mecha. Tong Bailong had no choice but to come down himself and share his idea with Five.
Five's mecha could command Tong Bailong's mecha, thanks to Jiang Xue's contributions.
Thus, Five directed Tong Bailong's mecha to accomplish this feat, leading Tong Bailong to the command room door.
Xiao Ji was not one to easily compromise; even with no way out, she fought back with all her might.
So, she engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Tong Bailong, who stepped forward.
However, perhaps due to fear or simply lacking strength, Xiao Ji couldn't withstand even two exchanges against Tong Bailong before being defeated.
With their side's issues resolved, they successfully captured Xiao Ji and took control of the command room. Utilizing the command room, Five issued a retreat order, causing the Scorpion Army within the planet to withdraw in confusion.
At the First Army Garrison Center, the young man watched as the Scorpion Army gradually retreated, realizing that this was due to the success of the capture plan from those coming from Earth.
"Truly admirable," he murmured. Capturing the enemy's leader aboard their Battleship would surely be recorded as a historic battle case.
Of course, one must not overlook the figures involved in this operation: three Crimson Rank individuals and a dozen Azure Level experts, the best of the best, not just any army could muster such talent.
The young man exhaled a breath of frustration. The sudden crisis had finally been resolved.
However, at that moment, a piece of dreadful news arrived, causing the young man to fall from his seat to the ground, unable to regain his composure for a long time.
He heard one of his subordinates rush in with a trembling voice.
"Major General, it's bad. Commander Pan has fallen!"
