Chapter 149: Whether they are friend or foe, it really depends on luck...
Lutekar's lips curled into a smirk, a clearly mocking smile that infuriated Roronoa. "Don't be so smug! I will definitely capture your lord, and then I will tear him to pieces!"
After saying this, Roronoa immediately hung up the computer.
Lettkar couldn't help but scoff; they weren't capable of capturing their sovereign.
However, every minute Tan Chi stays with the Roronoa Pirates increases the danger he faces.
He needs to finish his mission here as soon as possible and find his lord.
With that thought in mind, Letekar immediately began to operate the mech in his hands again.
So, the instant the laser cannon swept over from behind, Letekar was like a kite with a broken string, falling vertically downwards from the low sky in an instant.
However, due to the terrain in the Star Beast Forest, after the mech crashed into a fallen tree, it slid all the way down and eventually got stuck on a Y-shaped tree branch.
Only seven mechs remained that were originally tracking Letercal.
They saw Lutkar's mech being shot down and stopped impatiently.
However, because there were many star beasts around, they were still a little worried even though no star beasts had appeared here for the time being.
Therefore, no insect was willing to come out of the mech.
So the insects started communicating directly through the mech's optical computer.
"What should we do? Should we go back and report now?"
"We finally managed to hit Letekar this time. If we leave now and Letekar isn't dead, wouldn't we be missing a great opportunity?"
"But this is the Star Beast Forest. Even if he doesn't die, it will be difficult for him to get out alive, right?"
"Rettkar is an S-class female insect. You might have a hard time getting out of here alive, but that doesn't mean he can't. Even without his mecha, he can tear apart flying beasts with his bare hands!"
"..."
For a moment, the insects in the quantum computer fell silent.
Because they all knew that what the insect said was true.
Just because they lacked the ability to survive in the Star Beast Forest doesn't mean he didn't.
Moreover, the male ruler of Letekar is the second prince of the royal family. Even if the royal family doesn't care about a female soldier, they won't care about the only female ruler of the imperial royal family.
They might even send all the Insects of the First Legion here to search for Lutkar.
If the Star Beast Forest hadn't been besieged so severely, the royal family would probably have hesitated.
But now the Star Beast Forest is no longer a threat, especially since the First Legion is well-equipped.
After much deliberation, the insects finally made their decision.
"Why don't we go together? Even if Letkar isn't quite dead yet, we can still deliver the fatal blow."
“That makes sense. We have at least seven insects. It’s very likely that Lutekar lost the ability to move or lost consciousness due to the impact just now. Otherwise, the mech that was flying just now wouldn’t have crashed directly.”
“That makes sense. Let’s go together. It will ensure our safety and also prevent us from being unable to reward those who have contributed.”
"I think we should leave one insect on the mech. That way, if any flying beasts appear, we won't be helpless."
"That makes sense. However, the credit for killing Letkar should be attributed to the insects that were left behind. Otherwise, I doubt any insect would be willing to stay."
"Okay, it's settled then. We'll draw lots to decide who stays."
...
After a series of discussions, the insects were finally identified.
Furthermore, after observing for so long, they still saw no movement from the mechs.
It seems that Letekar is either unconscious or dead.
All they need to do is finish off the enemy, and they'll have completed the mission perfectly.
The insects couldn't contain their excitement just thinking about it.
So, after they dealt with a few less important star beasts nearby, they all went to the mech where Letkar was located.
They opened the mech's hatch with almost no effort.
Just when they thought Letekar was dead, a silver figure flashed in front of the insects almost instantly.
In an instant, two insects had their throats ripped open by Letekar's sharp wings and immediately collapsed.
The remaining four insects immediately launched a counterattack.
Although they were all A-grade female insects, they wouldn't necessarily be killed on the spot if they fought desperately.
The five insects immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Ludkar was consumed by thoughts of killing them and then immediately going to find his lord.
Therefore, every move is fierce, almost a killing blow with every step.
The four insects were already terrified.
They never expected that not only was Luttkar not dead, but he could also fight four of them at once!
They almost died of regret!
The three insects knew that if things continued like this, they would definitely not have a good outcome, so they sent out a distress signal.
Luttkar seized another opportunity and killed the insect that sent the signal.
Unfortunately, the signal had already been sent.
Then he needs to speed things up!
Almost the instant the signal was sent, the mech's beam cannon shot directly at the three insects.
The immense energy instantly blasted the two A-grade female insects away.
Only Ludkar, who was hit by the light wave cannon, stood still and did not move.
The bug piloting the mech nearly wet his pants in fright, because he was the only one who witnessed his beam cannon disappear directly onto Letekar.
It was like... like I was absorbed by him!
The insect on the mecha couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time, it frantically pressed the control buttons in its hands.
Although Letekar was unaware of what had just happened.
However, he also noticed the abnormality of the light wave cannon just now.
Normally, if he were hit directly, even if he used his wings to block it, he would be seriously injured and would never emerge unscathed.
However, in the situation just now, he was able to avoid most of it, and at most he would lose an arm.
Now that he's unharmed, he's going to retaliate!
He dodged the mech's attack by sidestepping and flew straight towards it.
Just as he was about to deal with the mech directly, he suddenly felt an exceptionally strong spatial fluctuation.
This kind of spatial fluctuation only occurs when a starship jumps through space.
But no insect knows the exact coordinates here.
Even he couldn't accurately send out the coordinates here.
Because the magnetic field in the interstellar forest is very strange, ordinary positioning systems will malfunction.
This is one of the reasons why the number of star beasts in the Star Beast Forest has been increasing, yet they have never been wiped out.
He wasn't sure if what was about to appear was friend or foe, so he could only hide in the gaps in the nearby vegetation and wait for it to appear.
The insects affected by the light wave seemed to sense something was wrong, but they were injured and could only stagger and hide as well.
Judging from their appearance, Letekar knew that the insects that had appeared were probably not arranged by the Second Legion.
As for whether they are friend or foe, that really depends on luck...
