Chapter 98: Chapter 98: War

When the broadcast count reached zero, Yang Bo felt as if time had stopped, much like the sensation of sleep paralysis in a dream. However, in that very instant, he felt as though a massive amount of Energy was flooding into the Alternate Space where the Mecha was stored. The Energy Metal on the Mecha seemed to become even purer.

Even the Battle Armor inside felt as if it had been tempered, forging a closer connection with him. If their synchronization rate was only 95% when he first bought it, it was now at least 99%.

The Energy Weapon was the same...

"I couldn’t feel the passage of time?" Yang Bo frowned when everything returned to normal. Exactly how much time had just passed? He wasn’t sure. Was it 0.001 seconds? One second? A year? He had absolutely no concept of time.

Then, in the next second, blaring alarms erupted throughout the cabin, and an urgent voice echoed from the broadcast: "Highest alert. Highest alert."

Right after the King Kong-class Warship that Yang Bo was on completed its space jump, ear-piercing alarms rang out. Startled, the Captain immediately activated the highest alert system.

"Report! The Green Demon Star is under attack by Pirates.

"The Planet Fleet has been ambushed by a Pirate Fleet, with losses exceeding sixty percent.

"The planet’s alert system is severely damaged, with over 80% destroyed.

"Mutants on the ground are attacking various outposts.

"The Main Battle Ship of the Planet Fleet is unable to participate in the battle due to a super S-level mission. Requesting backup.

"We have over six thousand missing personnel.

"The Pirates have thirteen Warships of various sizes.

"Two Sea Wolf-class, five Sea Dog-class, and six Hague-class..."

The Captain of the Warship Yang Bo was on received all this information in less than 0.1 seconds. The data cascaded down the screen like a rapid waterfall. While processing the data, the Captain swiftly issued a series of commands. All 190 units across the entire Warship received their specific tasks in under one second.

A faint, glowing luminescence appeared over the Warship—its Energy Shield. Weapons from the ship’s various units began to systematically emerge from beneath its smooth outer hull.

The Captain frowned. Energy Consumption was too high since they had just finished their warp jump. Remembering the nature of this mission, the Captain swiftly activated the Energy Stone system.

In an instant, the Energy Shield on the Warship’s exterior became even denser, and each Weapon gleamed with the light of Energy.

Meanwhile, in the orbit of a lush green planet, ear-piercing alarms were also blaring inside the command rooms of the thirteen Pirate Battleships.

"Fuck me!" Inside a Sea Wolf-class Warship, the One-Eyed Pirate Commander cursed violently as he stared at the King Kong-class Warship that had suddenly appeared.

"What the fuck! How is the Alliance’s main Fleet here? Where is our intel? Even a fucking King Kong-class showed up!" A Pirate Leader flew into a rage the moment he heard the alarms and saw the transmitted images.

At that moment, a bald man appeared on the large screen. "One-Eyed, you piece of shit! You led this attack! You provided the intel, and you took the job, you son of a bitch!"

"Bald Wang, fuck you! Do you think I’d risk my entire fortune to—" Right then, the alarms shrieked again because the distant King Kong-class Fleet was already charging at them at full speed.

No one opened fire yet. Although Laser Weapons sounded formidable, they were practically useless over long distances in space, which were measured in millions of kilometers. Across a million kilometers, a Laser fired from a Laser Cannon would take over two seconds to reach its target. In space, a Warship could freely roll 360 degrees to evade.

It might sound somewhat ridiculous, but Space Battleship combat was somewhat akin to the broadside duels of early sailing ships—they had to be within a close enough range to strike effectively.

"Damn it, we can’t run."

"Fuck! Don’t run!" The One-Eyed Pirate’s face twisted into a ferocious scowl as he glared at the Alliance’s Main Battle Ship, realizing that the other Pirate Battleships were already scattering.

However, just at that moment, the alarms blared loudly once more. From behind a small asteroid, another lone, massive Warship revealed itself.

"Holy shit." The Pirates stared in horror as another King Kong-class appeared. To think they had been searching for the Main Battle Ship stationed here all along, only to find that the damn thing had hidden itself in advance.

"One-Eyed, you bastard!" A barrage of curses erupted across the Pirate Battleships’ communication channels.

In the next second, several Hague-class Pirate Battleships completely abandoned their Energy Shields, diverting all Energy to their thrusters to flee the battlefield at maximum speed. As arrogant as they were before, they were equally panicked now.

Why not keep the Energy Shield up? Because against a King Kong-class Main Battle Ship, an Energy Shield was basically useless anyway.

Space Battleships were easy to accelerate but hard to decelerate. The Pirate Battleships were now caught between a Fleet on one side—consisting of one King Kong-class and four Golden Mountain Class—and another lone King Kong-class on the other.

A Sea Wolf-class Warship was only five thousand meters long, roughly the size of the Alliance’s Golden Mountain Class. The Sea Dog-class was even smaller at just two thousand meters, and the rest were less than a thousand meters in length...

The Sea Dog-class Pirate Battleships scattered like frightened birds, flying off in all directions. The remaining Warships of the Green Demon Planet’s Planet Fleet immediately gave chase.

One-Eyed and the bald man commanded their respective Warships to charge straight toward the lone King Kong-class Warship.

Space Battleship combat consisted of rapid flybys and exchanging fire. Because their speeds were incredibly fast, windows of opportunity to shoot were sparse, usually lasting no more than a few seconds.

Suddenly, the newly warped-in Fleet carrying Yang Bo fired a massive volley. Countless Lasers streaked toward the two Sea Wolf-class Warships.

"Sons of bitches!" the bald man and One-Eyed cursed loudly.

This was suppressive fire. Lasers were inherently faster than Warships. As long as the calculations were accurate, if the Pirate Battleships didn’t maneuver, they would be hit. But if they evaded, their speed would inevitably drop.

The two Sea Wolf-class Warships intended to close the distance with the lone King Kong-class and then fly directly over it. Firing from too far away wouldn’t work, as the enemy could easily maneuver out of the way. But now that the Fleet behind them had fired Lasers, any sudden maneuvering would practically mean steering right into the incoming beams. Their vertical escapes were completely locked down. Their only option was to clash head-on with the King Kong-class in front of them.

The Captain of the Warship Yang Bo was on finally understood what was going on!

The Green Demon Planet Fleet had triggered a super S-level mission event, which was why his Fleet had received secret orders to warp here. Due to this super S-level mission, the Green Demon Planet’s Main Battle Ship had been forced to cut off all communications and isolate itself in the depths of space!

While waiting for his Fleet’s arrival, the Pirate Alliance Fleet had ambushed the Green Demon Planet Fleet. Bound by the super S-level mission, the Planet Fleet’s Main Battle Ship had no choice but to maintain radio silence.

The remnants of the Planet Fleet had been utterly routed by the Pirate Alliance Fleet, and even the planetary defense system was nearly annihilated. It was precisely at this critical moment that his own Fleet arrived and reestablished contact with the silenced Main Battle Ship of the Green Demon Planet Fleet!

"Captain Wang, this isn’t your fault. You didn’t have to do this," the Captain of Yang Bo’s Fleet said, looking at the woman on the screen.
