With their engines humming, several mechas shuttled through the shadows of the asteroid belt like ghosts.
Ye Ling stared at the star map, adjusting the route from time to time to avoid the detection beams of the dark patrol team.
"Everyone, cheer up!" Ye Ling's voice rang out over the communication channel. "If we get discovered, our hot pot tonight will be ruined!"
Garen replied in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, Boss Ye, my radar is no pushover!" Irelia also smiled and echoed, "That's right, follow Boss Ye, and you'll have the best of both worlds!"
The atmosphere was relaxed, but everyone was on high alert.
Katarina's mecha always remained in front of the team. Her cold eyes swept across the surrounding starry sky, and any slight abnormality could not escape her eyes.
Fiona followed closely behind Ye Ling, the long sword in her hand flashing with cold light, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
Just as they were about to approach the stronghold, a dazzling red beam of light streaked across the night sky and the alarm suddenly sounded!
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Galen shouted.
Almost at the same time, dense artillery fire poured down from the direction of the stronghold, surrounding them in a sea of fire.
"Oh my god! This firepower is too strong!" Ye Ling's mecha shook violently. She gritted her teeth and controlled the mecha to flexibly avoid the attack.
"Captain Catalina, requesting fire support!" "Received!" Catalina's mecha instantly accelerated and rushed towards the enemy camp. The energy cannon in her hand roared, opening a passage for Ye Ling and others.
"Irelia, cover me!" Ye Ling shouted, and the mecha engine was fully started, rushing towards the center of the stronghold.
Irelia's mecha followed closely behind, and with precise shooting, it shot down the enemy planes that tried to intercept Ye Ling one by one.
"Ye Ling, be careful!" Fiona's voice sounded in the communication channel, with a hint of anxiety.
Ye Ling turned her head suddenly and saw a black mecha coming out from the side and heading straight towards her.
"Hmph, you're overestimating yourself!" Ye Ling sneered and controlled the mecha to meet him.
The two mechas collided violently, sparks flying.
"Ye Ling, hold on, I'll be there soon!" Duan Yu's voice came from the communication channel.
Ye Ling was delighted, but at the same time she also felt a strong sense of oppression. The performance of the black mecha was far beyond her imagination.
"Damn..." She cursed softly, her fingers tightly gripping the joystick, the ancient mecha core slightly hot in her hands...
"What kind of power is this?!"
The core of the ancient mecha spun wildly in Ye Ling's hands. A powerful energy poured into her mecha, and the body of the mecha emitted a dazzling light.
"Oh shit! The golden finger is finally online!" Ye Ling shouted excitedly. The performance of the mecha soared instantly, and its speed and attack power increased by several levels.
She controlled the mecha and rushed into the enemy camp like a flash of lightning, waving the energy sword in her hand and shooting down the enemy planes blocking her way like cutting melons and vegetables.
"Sisters, come on! It's time for the feast!"
Ye Ling's outburst boosted everyone's morale. Katarina, Irelia and others followed closely behind, charging into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Garen shouted excitedly: "Demacia! For the hot pot!" He drove a heavy mecha and rushed around, attracting most of the enemy's firepower and creating opportunities for others.
Inside the stronghold, the elite forces of the smuggling group were on high alert and the battle was extremely fierce.
Ye Ling dodged the enemy's attacks while looking for Duan Yu's whereabouts.
"Duan Yu, where are you? I'm here to save you!" She shouted in the communication channel, but received no response.
"Ye Ling, be careful!" Fiona's voice suddenly rang out, and a black mecha rushed out from the side and headed straight for Ye Ling.
Ye Ling dodged quickly, but was still hit by the energy cannon, and the fuselage vibrated violently.
"Damn it!" She gritted her teeth and controlled the mecha to fight with the black mecha.
At this moment, Master Yi suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The lightsaber in his hand flashed like a galaxy, and instantly shot down several enemy planes.
"Young man, do you need help?" he said to Ye Ling indifferently.
Ye Ling's eyes lit up: "Master Yi! You're here just in time! Help me block this thing, I'm going to save people!"
Ye Ling broke free from the entanglement of the black mecha and continued to move deeper into the stronghold.
Finally, she found the imprisoned Duan Yu in a hidden room.
Duan Yu was tied to a metal pillar, his body covered with scars, but his eyes remained firm.
"Ye Ling..." he called weakly.
"Don't say anything, I'll get you out right now!" Ye Ling was about to step forward when suddenly, a powerful energy wave came from the depths of the room, and a cold voice rang out: "I didn't expect you to find this place. It seems that I have to take action myself..."
As soon as the cold voice fell, a tall man in black walked out from the shadows, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Are you the mastermind behind this?" Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that this person's aura was stronger than any enemy he had encountered before.
"That's right, it's me." The man in black sneered, "You ants, you actually dare to ruin my plan, you really don't know how to live or die!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Ye Ling at an astonishing speed.
Ye Ling dodged quickly, but was still hit by the energy wave from the man in black, and her mecha was seriously damaged.
"Fuck! This guy is cheating!" Ye Ling cursed inwardly and quickly activated all the energy of the ancient mecha's core.
"Come on, let's hurt each other!"
The golden light once again enveloped Ye Ling's mecha, and its speed and strength were increased to the extreme.
She engaged in a fierce close combat with the man in black, and the sparks from the collision of mechas illuminated the entire room.
"Duan Yu, can you still move?" Ye Ling asked while fighting.
"No problem!" Duan Yu gritted his teeth, broke free from his restraints, picked up the weapon on the ground and joined the battle.
The two of them joined forces and finally suppressed the man in black.
At this moment, Catalina and others also arrived at the scene and joined the siege.
"Ye Ling, are you okay?" Catalina asked with concern.
"It's okay, he won't die!" Ye Ling grinned, "Everyone, come together and send him to his death!"
The crowd rushed forward, surrounded the man in black, and launched all kinds of attacks.
The man in black was outnumbered and was eventually stabbed through the heart by Ye Ling's sword and fell to the ground.
"Done!" Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Duan Yu. "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Duan Yu shook his head, "Thanks to you."
"No big deal!" Ye Ling waved her hand. "We're the best partners!"
Together, they destroyed the smuggling group's base, seized a large amount of smuggled goods, and restored interstellar order.
At the victory banquet, Ye Ling and Duan Yu toasted to celebrate. However, at this moment, an urgent message arrived: a new interstellar crisis is brewing, and an enemy more powerful than the smuggling group is about to appear...
Ye Ling and Duan Yu exchanged a glance. It seemed their battle was far from over...
