Guang Zhen's specially-designed super high speed admiral ship had entered the hangar . The name of the ship might sound complicated, but it was actually very small, even smaller than a normal battleship . Its greatest feat was its speed . It used a type of technology similar to the Steel Ball's energy umbrella propeller . For current human technology, only a spaceship smaller than one-fifth the size of battleship could use such a device . This couldn't be helped as humanity's scientific prowess was too low .
After the last and biggest meeting on the City of Light Moon, Guang Zhen used this specially-designed spaceship to catch up to the New Solar System's first fleet's vanguard unit . Even though the vanguard unit was only one-tenth the size of the total fleet, with 20 spaceships the size of the Hope, 120 guardian spaceships, and 300 plus battleships, as well as the fact of them being fully-loaded, unlike the earlier situation where many seats were still empty on the spaceships . With the help of the AI robots, they could already unleash 80 to 90 percent of their fighting potential .
As mentioned above, this unit wasn't the main unit . Their main objective was to come to the aid and protect the civilians from second defense line before making a tactical retreat . The main fighting force was the six Black Star units, totaling up to 60 Black Star Troopers . They would be responsible for the attack and defense part of the mission, to aid the retreat the civilians from second defense line .
Behind this vanguard unit, there were 6 other Black Star units who were doing their last preparations…
"I don't believe this!"
Ebon roared angrily as he paced around the field . The force of his mechanical foot was so strong that it created a large footprint on the ground . He yelled, "Wang Hwa, that idiot, is dead? I refuse to believe this! This has to be fake news!"
With two hands behind his back, Liu Bai told Ebon, "Will you please calm down? This is why you're unable to become the leader of a Black Star unit, it's because of your rash nature! Calm down and listen to me… Wang Hwa's sacrifice is already confirmed, this has been proven to be true . "
Ebon stood there for a long time with a drawn face before finally adding, "Why… why can all of you be so calm? Tell me, Liu Bai, you're like this, Ol' captain is like that, Captain Wong is like this, everyone… How can all of you can be so calm . Wang Hwa is no longer with us . Just like Ying, he will never return again! Or… you all don't really…"
Before Ebon could finish, Liu Bai's kick sent him flying five meters back . He finally lost his temper and roared, "If you dare to finish that sentence, I'll personally cut you into pieces! F*ck, what are you trying to imply? That we don't care? If we don't care… this counter-attack mission wouldn't have been ordered! Open your damn eyes and see clearly . Who doesn't care? These are all our comrades, our brothers from the Black Star Unit! Who cannot care?"
Ebon sat down on the floor and his expression was dazed . After some time, he finally stood up with his face twisted with a wicked smile . "Yes, our brothers cannot die for no reason . Yes, we all care about them . The only one who doesn't care is the enemy . His death has saved the lives of 9,000 plus children . It's a worthy death, but it's not enough! We need to serve Wang Hwa somehow, a ritual of sorts to mark his passing . The sacrifice… will be those robot fleets!"
At the same time, the second defense line was almost completely silent . Other than the few cannons that were still firing, the rest of the place had fallen apart . A mass of robots had landed and destroyed the lifeforms there, and they even started to pillage the construction within…
The main base of the second defense line was already surrounded by layers of spaceships . However, at that moment, a silver ball emerged from the crack above the second main base . The spaceships around it exploded in less than two seconds . These spaceships were actually bigger than human battleships and they carried on them many robots . Their main purpose was to assist landing, and their energy shields were so weak that they couldn't defend against the Steel Ball's super long distance particular condensation ray . They were nothing more than sitting targets for the Steel Ball .
The Steel Ball controlled by Amulo had such an incredible speed . Due to its smaller size and more powerful reactor and propeller system, its speed unit time was about six times the speed of the Space Combat Jets . However, the key feature was its dexterity . Since it was completely attached to its pilot's mental frame, the reaction speed of the Steel Ball was the reaction speed of the human brain . Even though it was not light speed, when Amulo recognized the danger, he could immediately evade it . In other words, it was impossible for him to get hit .
In fact, for most space civilizations, the so-called out-of-ship combat jets were all cannon fodder . This was because among level 2 or 3 space civilizations, the combat jets couldn't evade the bullets from the enemies of same level space civilizations . Level 2 space civilizations used Gaussian weapons and level 3 used plasma weapons . Their bullet speed was much faster than the sight and the speed of the brain, especially for the plasma weapon of a level 3 space civilization . Plasma weapons had light speed bullets . As long as it was fired, it was practically impossible to evade . Under this circumstance, those combat jets without powerful energy shields were like cannon fodder .
