Source of rescue information:
SOS caller: Cole Whitehead
Military rank: Major
Strength: Epic-level combat mech pilot
Details of the distress call:
Location: Coordinates in outer space (↑., →., ←.)
It is 0.1041 light-years away from this interstellar shuttle.
The message from the person seeking help reads: "I am Cole Whitehead, the commander of the 115th Large Fleet of the Fighter Armor Division of the Duna Star Defense Military Base."
We are under siege by three Lord-level Zerg flying fortresses. The situation is extremely dire. We request immediate support from the Duna Star Defense Military Base Headquarters and nearby colonel-level officers with epic-level combat mech capabilities.
"Three Lord-level Zerg flying fortresses are besieging one of our large fleets. This is a huge problem!"
Mo Tianyun stared intently at the distress message on the screen, his expression unusually cold as he spoke.
"Captain, three Lord-level Zerg flying fortresses, that means there are three Lord-level Zerg!"
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do!"
"Talink said somewhat anxiously."
Thorne, Nick, Leng Yu, and Leng Feng all looked at Mo Tianyun, waiting for his decision.
Given the emergency, they couldn't really say anything; it was best to leave the decision to their captain.
"The Meteor Star-shaped interstellar shuttle immediately changes course and heads at full speed toward the location where the distress message was sent!"
Mo Tianyun immediately issued an order to change the starship's destination and head towards the location from which the distress message had been sent.
"Please trust me, I have the capability to participate in this support battle!"
Mo Tianyun looked at his teammates and said.
Thorne, Nick, Tarink, Cold Rain, and Cold Wind watched this scene without saying anything; they could only trust in their captain's strength.
In fact, Thorne, Nick, Talink, Cold Rain, and Cold Wind did not want their captain to go to support them, because these were three Zerg flying fortresses at the level of invaders. Once they were targeted, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Even a large fleet led by a major-level epic-class combat mech pilot had to send reinforcements, let alone a meteor-class interstellar shuttle like myself. This was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock!
For a moment, Thorne, Nick, Talink, Cold Rain, and Cold Wind felt a little apprehensive. They really didn't have the confidence to face such a massive war.
The ten interstellar shuttle warships form a small fleet.
A fleet of 100 interstellar shuttles is considered a medium-sized fleet. To be classified as a medium-sized fleet, it must have at least one meteor-level interstellar shuttle.
A thousand interstellar shuttles constitute a large fleet. A large fleet must have at least one satellite-class interstellar shuttle and ten meteor-class interstellar shuttles to be considered a large fleet.
The commander-in-chief of a large fleet must be a colonel-level officer with the strength of an epic-level combat mech pilot. Such a large and powerful fleet still needs to request support from the headquarters of the Duna Star Defense Military Base. Even if we went there, we wouldn't be able to help much!
Apart from Mo Tianyun, the other members of the Tianyun Squad all thought so. However, what they didn't know was that this interstellar shuttle was originally like an egg hitting a rock in front of three Lord-level Zerg flying fortresses.
Now, thanks to Mo Tianyun's presence, the egg has become an iron ball, and it is now qualified to clash with those three lord-level Zerg flying fortresses.
"Our fleet has lost nearly one-fifth of its interstellar shuttles in just half an hour. This kind of fighting is not going to work!"
In the combat command room of a satellite-class interstellar shuttle warship in this large fleet, a colonel-level officer appeared calm on the surface but was inwardly extremely anxious, and said...
"Those Zerg have three Lord-level Zerg flying fortresses. That won't be enough to support the military base on Duna. Even if Major General Griffith Fred were to use a legendary mech to teleport here, the distance of 1 light-year would still take at least five hours!"
This commanding officer is Major Cole Whitehead, a fighter mech division commander with epic-level combat capabilities.
"what to do?"
"If we try to escape, we'll be chased and attacked by a Lord-level Zerg fortress, and we'll die even faster!"
Cole Whitehead watched as his fleet's interstellar shuttles were reduced to cosmic dust by the Zerg attack on the screen, and his anxiety grew, making it impossible for him to remain calm.
"Zerg, I'll fight you to the death! I'll destroy one of your Lord-level Zerg flying fortresses, even if it kills me!"
Cole Whitehead hardened his heart. He knew that since the day he joined the Imperial Army, he had long since disregarded life and death. He would always risk his life to fight the Zerg. Besides, he had encountered such dangerous situations several times before. He was saved by strong people the previous times. This time, it was his turn to lead the team, but no one would help him!
To be honest, he was a bit unlucky. This was his first time leading a large fleet on a mission after being promoted to major, and he never expected to encounter three lord-level Zerg flying fortresses!
Suddenly, two messages appeared on the screen in front of him, and Cole Whitehead quickly opened them to read.
The first message came from the headquarters of the Duna Star Defense Military Base.
The information is as follows:
Major Cole Whitehead, hold on! Major General Griffith Fred is on his way to provide support! On his way to provide support!
"This information comes from the headquarters of the Duna Star Defense Military Base, not from support information at the major level nearby."
Major Cole Whitehead glanced at it, then clicked on the next one.
"It's a support message from 0.1 light-years away! Could I be saved?!"
Cole Whitehead was overjoyed when he saw that the message for help came from nearby.
But what followed left him somewhat bewildered, and then he was so angry he laughed!
The details of this message are as follows:
The Sky Cloud Squad is en route from 0.1041 light-years away to provide support and is expected to arrive in one hour. Major Cole Whitehead, please hold on! Major Cole Whitehead, please hold on!
This message was not sent by Mo Tianyun, but automatically by the interstellar shuttle warship's AI.
"The Sky Cloud Squad?"
Major Cole Whitehead had a bad feeling.
So he clicked on the details of the Tianyun Squad to take a look.
Tianyun Squad
Captain Mo Tianyun, rank: Private First Class
Team member Thorne, rank: Private Third Class
Team member Nick, rank: Private Third Class
Team member Talink, rank: Private First Class
Team member Leng Feng, rank: Private First Class
Team member Leng Yu, rank: Private Third Class
Team Establishment Date: January 15th, Year 39
Upon seeing the detailed information about the Sky Cloud Squad, Major Cole Whitehead instantly broke down!
"These guys are all greenhorns, and they're all privates! What use are these cannon fodder? Is this a large-scale war that you new recruits can get involved in? You're really fearless! A mere squad of new recruits dares to come and support us. If I saw them, I would run away as fast as I could!"
Major Cole Whitehead immediately roared.
This attracted the attention of several other captains in the satellite-class combat command center.
"Isn't this just messing with our morale? The situation on the battlefield is so dire right now, and this so-called Tianyun Squad is sending messages to disrupt our command!"
"Yes, even Major Cole Whitehead is furious with him. This is seriously disrupting morale. We must send the entire Sky Cloud Squad to a court-martial. Even if we die in this war, they won't live!"
Cole White immediately sent a message back to Mo Tianyun and the others.
"Um?"
Mo Tianyun noticed a new message suddenly appearing on the screen, so he clicked on it to check.
This was a video message. As soon as Mo Tianyun opened it, a holographic image of Major Cole Whitehead appeared before Mo Tianyun and his group.
"New recruits of the Sky Cloud Squad, this war is not something you can interfere with. Now listen to me, go as far away as you can and don't get involved in this war anymore. Your involvement won't even make a ripple in this war. Warships like yours will be lost every few seconds in this war. I order you to retreat immediately!"
Major Cole Whitehead's image is filled with anger.
Mo Tianyun paid no attention to it, and the interstellar shuttle continued to move in the direction of Major Cole Whitehead.
"Captain...why don't we leave? I feel like this war is something we can't get involved in, and our small force isn't very useful."
Leng Yu advised.
As a member of one of the eight great families of Ururu Star, Leng Yu naturally knew a lot. Before joining the combat mech division, she had already learned a great deal about military affairs and was aware of the power of large fleets and lord-level Zerg flying fortresses.
She believed that even if the entire Sky Cloud Squad joined the battle, it would be difficult to influence the outcome, because the Zerg had three leader-level Zerg flying fortresses, which were equivalent to the combat power of three large fleets.
Even with the addition of four extraordinary combat mech pilots from the Tianyun Squad, the difference in strength between the two sides remains significant.
"You don't need to join the battle; I alone am enough!"
Mo Tianyun remained unmoved; he had his own reasons for doing so.
"We don't need to go and provide support? Are you saying that Captain Tianyun is enough on his own?"
Talink knew that Mo Tianyun was very strong, but he did not expect that his captain would be so confident.
Major Cole Whitehead's large fleet is engaged in a firefight with three Lord-level Zerg flight fortresses, as well as the lower-level flight fortresses next to them.
A variety of colored energy beams intertwined, forming a light net that covered a distance of several thousand kilometers between the two sides. Every now and then, several energy beams, far brighter than the surrounding attack beams, would erupt out, piercing through any interstellar shuttles or Zerg fortresses that were hit, before bursting into a burst of light and becoming cosmic dust falling in this war.
The fall of each meteor-class interstellar shuttle means the death of hundreds of ordinary soldiers.
The fall of each meteor-class interstellar shuttle represents the death of thousands of ordinary soldiers.
They are all living, breathing human beings. However, in this brutal war of defense against the Zerg invasion that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of light-years in the Oron Empire, they are just one example of this cruel reality. Every moment, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people may die. Their deaths are insignificant, even negligible.
Judging solely from the number of energy beams, the Zerg have far more fortresses than Major Cole Whitehead has of space shuttles.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Major Cole Whitehead's fleet was destroyed by the Zerg fortress.
"Major Cole Whitehead, our fleet has lost more than half its strength!"
A captain wiped the cold sweat from his brow and hurriedly reported.
"Let's go, we probably won't get any reinforcements, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"
Major Cole Whitehead then led all the officers in their respective mechs out of the satellite-class interstellar shuttle, leaving only a few operators to provide fire support.
This satellite-class interstellar shuttle warship is 10 kilometers long, and its main gun has a caliber of over 300 meters. A single shot of a massive energy beam with stellar-level energy intensity is enough to annihilate a leader-class Zerg creature that is over a thousand meters long.
However, the main gun consumes a lot of energy and takes a long time to reload. In addition to the main gun, there are many secondary gun turrets, which is also one of the firepower attack methods of this satellite-class interstellar shuttle warship.
With a group of combat mech pilots joining the battle in at least superhuman combat mechs, the three Zerg Lord-level Zerg flight fortresses and the surrounding lower-level Zerg flight fortresses...
Many Zerg leaders also emerged.
Even the most eye-catching and massive Zerg race has emerged—the Zerg Overlord!
And it wasn't just one, but a total of three!
The lord-class Zerg fortress is spherical, with a diameter of 15 kilometers, and the Zerg lord's body is 10 kilometers long. This size is comparable to that of a satellite-class interstellar shuttle.
Major Cole Whitehead's epic combat mech was only a hundred meters tall, making it look like an ant in front of the Zerg lord.
However, although the Epic Battle Mech is smaller in size, its agility is comparable to that of the Zerg Overlord!
Major Cole Whitehead piloted an epic combat mech named Thunder Spear, its blue and red color scheme gleaming, and charged toward the nearest Zerg lord at a speed of 200 kilometers per second, wielding a golden spear hundreds of meters long.
The sheer speed of the Epic Battle Mech alone demonstrates that its power far surpasses that of the Extraordinary Battle Mech.
Even Mo Tianyun's Insect Hunter Mech, a perfect-level extraordinary combat mech, has a maximum speed of only 10 kilometers per second.
Just then, Mo Tianyun's interstellar shuttle arrived in space not far from the war.
