In the distance, an epic battle mech in black and red was flying toward Thorne, Nick, Talink, Cold Rain, and Cold Wind.

"I...I'm still alive!!!"

Although Talink was near the epicenter of the explosion, his mech's energy shield still managed to withstand most of the destructive force of the blast.

Because the Zerg lord's head was held high, leaving a large gap, and because Talink's scabbard mech was tightly wrapped by the Zerg lord's body, coupled with the scabbard mech's energy shield that was activated to its maximum, Talink and his mech did not suffer much damage under this double defense.

In short, Tarink is incredibly lucky to be alive!

When Tarink first entered the Zerg hive on the planet Lunlboa with Mo Tianyun, he had already faced a life-or-death crisis, which was saved by Mo Tianyun.

However, this time, it wasn't Mo Tianyun who saved him, but Lieutenant Colonel Chris!

That's right, the black and red epic combat mech that's heading this way is Lieutenant Colonel Chris's epic combat mech.

Lieutenant Colonel Chris's epic battle mech is named Starfire Blaze.

...

Soon after, Lieutenant Colonel Chris arrived in his Starfire Blaze mech.

Talink had already recovered and piloted his combat mech away from the wreckage left by the Zerg Overlord. He was now waiting with Thorne, Nick, Leng Yu, and Leng Feng for the arrival of the epic Zerg combat mech pilot who had saved his life.

Lieutenant Colonel Chris brought the Starfire Blaze mech to a stop. Then, a huge light screen appeared in front of the mech, and on the light screen appeared a holographic image of Lieutenant Colonel Chris's upper body.

"I'm so glad you're all alright. I was so worried about you! Luckily, I acted in time!"

Lieutenant Colonel Chris looked at Talink, Thorne, Nick, Cold Rain, and Cold Wind, but his attention remained on Talink's combat mech.

"Thank you so much, Lieutenant Colonel Chris, for saving my life!"

A light screen also appeared on Talink's sword sheath mech, displaying a holographic image of Talink's upper body.

“Well, for the rest of the battle, you’ll stay by my side. Although we might…” Lieutenant Colonel Chris’s resolute face trembled slightly. He pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and then continued, “As long as we keep fighting and survive to the end, there is still hope that Marshal Odis Swift will arrive here!”

Lieutenant Colonel Chris comforted the Sky Cloud Squad members and the numerous combat mech pilots around them.

However, even Lieutenant Colonel Chris himself didn't quite believe what he was saying. If they were to wait for Marshal Odis Swift to arrive, they would have to hold out for at least several more hours, right?

If he could hold out for several hours, and fight until then, he himself wouldn't have much confidence in surviving such a large siege by the Zerg. How could he possibly protect the weak combat mechs at the Duna Star defense military base?

After saying that, Lieutenant Colonel Chris glanced at the dead Zerg lord beside him.

"So that's how it is!"

Lieutenant Colonel Chris muttered to himself.

With his extensive experience, he examined the Zerg carcass left behind by the Zerg lord and immediately understood how the Zerg had died.

Actually, Lieutenant Colonel Chris's attack was not originally fatal.

Unexpectedly, the Zerg lord's Zerg crystal core was located inside the palate of his mouth.

Lieutenant Colonel Chris fired a precise Oron 4 Epic Energy Cannon, directly hitting the Zerg Lord's massive maw as it was accumulating energy. This not only interrupted the Zerg Lord's attack, but the collision of the two energies also triggered a massive explosion, shattering the Zerg Lord's Zerg core to pieces.

Was it purely coincidental that this attack just happened to destroy the Zerg Lord's Zerg core? Actually, it wasn't a coincidence at all!

Talink could have been saved by targeting any other part of the Zerg Lord's head, so why did Lieutenant Colonel Chris choose to attack the Zerg Lord's mouth?

This actually stems from Lieutenant Colonel Chris's combat instincts; the parts of the Zerg capable of energy attacks likely contain Zerg cores nearby.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Lieutenant Colonel Chris aimed the Oron 4 Epic Energy Cannon at the Zerg Lord's mouth, thus killing the Zerg Lord in one blow!

"I am Major General Griffith Fred. All combat mech divisions, get out of this area immediately! Don't doubt, don't overthink, just do as I say. This is the highest order!"

Suddenly, a mental message was transmitted to the minds of all the combat mech pilots.

What's wrong?

All the combat mech pilots were stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, they realized that the person who transmitted the mental message was their supreme commander, Major General Griffith Fred. So the combat mech pilots who could run away quickly retreated.

The combat mech pilots who were still engaged in battle were trying every possible way to get away.

"You lot, come with me right now!"

Lieutenant Colonel Chris turned to look at Major General Griffiths Fred and saw two or three Zerg generals there. He was so frightened that he immediately turned and prepared to run away.

Was Major General Griffith Fred ordering these combat mech pilots to leave the vicinity because he was afraid of the Zerg generals?

That's absolutely not true!

How could a soldier of the Oron Empire possibly desert? Especially a major general of unwavering integrity!

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Chris rescued Talink, Major General Griffith Fred was in an equally dire situation.

The Zerg general whose armor was being constantly destroyed by Major General Griffith Fred actually started calling for reinforcements—oh, no, it should be "calling for more Zerg."

Soon after, two Zerglings that had shrunk in size arrived at great speed to support their companions.

These two Zerg generals are quite cunning; they adjusted their forms in advance to gain greater power and speed.

Major General Griffith Fred faced an attack from three Zerg generals, and in less than a single exchange, even his mech shield was destroyed.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to do it!"

Major General Griffith Fred immediately decided to implement this last resort against the Zerg.
