Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 365 - 140: Creating Legends
Chapter 365: Chapter 140: Creating Legends
The military banner was like a dragon, piercing the firmament!
Covering a distance of seven hundred meters, the Ripper’s flag became a streak of lightning that just tore through the spatial obstruction.
Lin Hao and the others watched this scene, completely stunned and at a loss for words.
This wasn’t seventy meters, nor was it a hundred and seventy meters!
It was a full seven hundred meters!
It seemed they had forgotten that this spear had been thrown by a mecha.
Under Black’s terrifying computational capabilities, combined with Mu Fan’s extraordinary control level, the Ripper, a slightly above-average B-class mecha body,
transformed its military banner into a laser long spear that soared higher and higher into the sky, and when it reached its apex, the tip of the banner turned downward.
“Lock maintained for 5 seconds, 6 seconds…”
The movement paths of the four Plasma Worms below finally intersected at this moment.
One particularly huge Plasma Worm was situated in the central position.
No Zeg noticed the military banner descending from the sky.
To them, the silently soaring banner was almost negligible.
After this maneuver, the Plasma Worms finished accumulating energy and could fire another volley.
Their bellies once again lit up with a faint blue glow.
At that moment,
a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!
Whoosh!
Thud!
A Federation military banner fell from the heavens, piercing straight down.
That largest Plasma Worm suddenly let out a pained shriek as its belly was thoroughly impaled by the alloy flagpole.
The scene was like a Heavy Hammer striking heavily into the hearts of all who noticed.
That flagpole launched by the mecha body…
Had actually hit its target?
The banner had already penetrated the Plasma Worm’s belly, nailing it to the soil.
The red light was still flickering.
“9 seconds, 10 seconds, guidance successful!”
A mechanical electronic female voice echoed in the ears of all the combat warriors, reverberating in the hearts of Lin Hao and the others.
Because Mu Fan… had truly succeeded!
A dazzling light from the No. 3 base lit up after 8 seconds, ascending into the sky, at which point the missile adjusted its direction and then dived down with an unavoidable momentum.
The missile’s faint red light covered the entire battlefield, seemingly announcing an imminent and terrible death threat!
The Ripper was already sprinting back to the base using the Chaotic Zigzag Step.
After launching that flagpole, Mu Fan turned and ran without any hesitation.
Black faithfully projected the image onto the screen in front of Mu Fan.
That red light fiercely collided with the erect military banner at exactly the ten-second mark!
The sounds of the battlefield seemed to vanish at that moment, leaving only the bright light that was intense enough to damage one’s eyesight.
Energy exploded, encompassing hundreds of cubic meters, then condensed into a point for a brief instant, before bursting violently.
A horrific shockwave burst forth from the explosion.
An orange mushroom cloud rose into the air.
The terrifying display, at that moment, was the center of heaven and earth.
Plasma Worms and Tiger Worms at the epicenter of the nuclear explosion were instantaneously vaporized, while the shockwave cleared nearly fifty thousand square meters of ring-shaped vacuum of the dense Zeg swarm.
The fearsome explosion even caused the charging Zeg to halt their assault.
Students and officers alike burst into cheers simultaneously.
At that moment, the Ripper had created a legend amidst dire circumstances!
“Mu Fan, you’ve succeeded!” Lin Hao’s excited voice rang out over the channel, “Hurry back to the base, prepare to board the ship.”
“Understood,” Mu Fan calmly responded.
He had already seen a Starship ascending, approaching the battlefield; although its firepower was limited, its near-continuous covering fire was an advantage.
The Zeg, with no anti-aircraft capabilities, were at a loss against the Starship.
“Mu Fan… well done! The Tiger Hunting Team will always remember this favor!” Luo Jianjin’s voice, thick with emotion, and his bearded face clearly portrayed his feelings.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Hearing this always honest man show his true feelings for the first time, Mu Fan smirked slightly in the cockpit.
He didn’t speak, but his eyes seemed to instantly look through the mecha body towards somewhere in the universe.
Shura, I was growing.
I would keep getting stronger.
When you returned, I would officially pilot you.
Then together, we’d venture through this interstellar world!
…
The silhouette of the Ripper withdrew like a phantom.
At this moment, the image of this mecha was ingrained in everyone’s hearts with a label—The War God of Desperate Situations!
The journey back was a bit faster than the breakthrough, Mu Fan had already seen mechas grabbing descent lines and being pulled up into the starship.
The Ripper, helped into overload mode forcibly by Black, was less than a hundred meters from returning to base.
Inside the base, most of the cadets had already entered the starship, and the firepower had dropped several levels.
The last retreating warriors would definitely face the greatest pressure.
The 2nd starship took off first to support the outskirts.
Inside the 1st starship, Lin Hao appeared in the command center, watching that enormous battlefield projection on the holographic screen, where all of their personnel were marked with green dots.
Also, dozens of blue points were rapidly moving towards this location.
Looking up at the countdown, 1 minute and 20 seconds were left out of 5 minutes.
Mu Fan was less than ten seconds away from returning to the ship, and the maximum threat of the starship taking off had already been neutralized.
From the current perspective, this defense operation had already achieved strategic success.
Because they had successfully preserved the core strength of the future army, it was believed that after this ordeal with the Zeg swarm, these cadets would undergo a transformation from the soul outwards.
War had always been the best mentor for a warrior.
Losing the base was not a pity; with the Federation’s military strength, it would be retaken eventually, but talent was the biggest gain of their mission to planet 131.
Moreover, he had discovered a burgeoning War God seed—Mu Fan!
Lin Hao’s hands hovered over the edge of the command platform, his invisible authority causing the surrounding officers to consciously hold their breath.
If Colonel Qi Longxiang could see this, he would surely be gratified.
Colonel Qi, can you see? On this distant planet, I too have started to strive for growth, taking you as my role model.
The screen suddenly shook—a sign of an incoming message.
“Connect.”
“Major Lin, this is Zheng Rui.”
“Major Zheng Rui, we have 1 minute and 14 seconds left, and the 2nd starship is already stationed on the outskirts ready for support.”
“Thank you, I…” The tone carried an indescribable shame and guilt.
“Regroup as quickly as possible, don’t blame yourself,” Lin Hao’s voice was steady as usual.
“Alright, we will arrive at the third base in twenty seconds—a small near-Earth transport ship—twenty-seven mechas; these are the only warriors we have left. I bear an inescapable responsibility for this incident…” The tone spoke of unspeakable dejection.
The Expeditionary Army had deployed a total of 1500 troops to planet 131, and a rough count showed more than a thousand had been sacrificed…
Now, it was unknown how many were left aboard that transport ship.
“Preparations for support are ready, Major Zheng Rui, our military dictionary does not have the word ‘regret.'”
“Yes! The Expeditionary Army is ready to regroup.”
After a resolute response, Zheng Rui cut off the communication and concentrated on operating the mecha.
…
Naturally, Mu Fan couldn’t see what was happening inside the starship; he dashed past the Zeg waves at maximum speed and finally leaped into the base.
The 1st starship had already begun to ascend slowly; the open hatch had lifted off the ground.
His hands swept across the control panel, the Ripper leaped with an assisted crouch into the belly of the ship.
Mu Fan, regrouped!
The last cadet had successfully returned.
A cheer erupted in the command center; the legendary mecha had finally made it back.
The Ripper’s form straightened slowly, then turned to face the outside of the hangar. As the starship ascended, the hangar door began to close gradually.
At the moment before the sight was blocked, Mu Fan saw what seemed to be a wave of mechas coming from afar in the battlefield.
Wait! Amidst the distant swarm, was there another flash of blue light?
