Chapter 564: 247 Trapped in an Insect Swarm!
“The Sherman Empire is experiencing a large-scale insect disaster?”
Edwan focused on the dedicated communication channel in front of him, where ‘Yang Ming’ was projected in a half-body hologram.
This was a biotic robot left by Yang Ming within the Wind territory, usually responsible for maintaining presence to reinforce his influence over human subordinates.
At this mont, it was naturally Little Lyu communicating with Edwan.
“Yes, Edwan, to be precise, an insect disaster has already erupted within the Sherman Empire, triggered by the New Federation itself, comprising a total of thirty-five Fourth Rank Insect Swarms and several quasi-Fourth Rank Insect Swarms.
“The Sherman Empire will suffer a massive blow, but according to my estimation, this blow won’t truly harm the Empire’s vitality.
“However, we must prepare in advance.”
Edwan imdiately asked, “Does our fleet need to go over for support? If it’s near our side of the Empire’s border, can we make it in ti?”
Lyu was silent for a few seconds, then reminded, “There are many fleets within the Emperor Star Circle of the Empire moving outwards. Even if our elite fleet rushes over, it would only cause chaos in the command system, possibly being of no help. Besides, according to the suzerain-vassal relationship, they must issue a co-defense order before our fleet can assist.”
“Ming, I saw hesitation in your eyes.”
Edwan sighed,
“The Insect Race is humanity’s enemy, at this point we must always rember.
“Let’s have our army ready for combat, as long as the Sherman Empire issues the co-defense order, we’ll head over to help them defend the Administrative Star.
“Also, the soldiers of Wind should not stand in front of the soldiers of the Sherman Empire; don’t let our fleet and soldiers beco cannon fodder.”
Lyu said, “I will arrange it.”
“By this tone, are you his assistant?” Edwan squinted at ‘Yang Ming.’
“Um, the boss is preparing for deploynt and can’t communicate with you.”
“How about giving
a look? It’s been a long ti since I last saw Ming, he’s always very busy.”
“I need to ask the boss… the boss agreed.”
Edwan leaned forward, carefully staring at the screen.
‘Yang Ming’s’ half-body image flickered a few tis and quickly disappeared, replaced by the scene of the tail compartnt of the East Wind.
The tail compartnt was now quite crowded.
Two six-ter tall Fierce Ghost close-combat chas stood side by side, surrounded by a dozen robotic tracks busily adding more energy shield generators to the Fierce Ghost.
A twelve-ter high New Red Demon firepower cha was full of cables, with 026, who was wearing goggles and a loose maintenance suit while standing on a ladder beside it, a ponytail trailing, performing the final adjustnts on the cha with an operation panel in her arms.
Yang Ming, already wearing exoskeleton armor and a helt, was tinkering with sothing in the corner.
As the screen zood in, Edwan imdiately noticed that Yang Ming was fiddling with the Light Sword hilt, with a launch countdown displayed beside him.
Only three minutes of preparation ti remained.
Edwan asked, “Can I say hello?”
“Let
ask the boss!”
In the image, Yang Ming raised his head, looking at the floating projection sphere in front and saw Edwan’s half-body projection as well.
Edwan imdiately said, “Mr. Ghost, I’m your fan!”
“Honorable Emperor,” Yang Ming removed his helt, revealing the handso face of Hanton, “are you ready to face the political impact this insect disaster is about to cause?”
“Not yet,” Edwan frowned, “will the Empire launch a full-scale war against the New Federation?”
“Uncertain,” Yang Ming replied, “if this insect disaster severely damages the Empire’s combat power, the Empire might not declare a full-scale war. Since the New Federation dared to take such radical asures, they must have follow-up strategies to cope.”
Edwan sighed, “What I’m worried about now is that the New Federation will form regional alliances and declare war against the Empire, igniting a full-scale war across the Milky Way.”
“This is actually unlikely; the New Federation must rely on the International Alliance to barely withstand the pressure from the Empire,” Yang Ming said, “although the Milky Way’s Four Great Rogues all possess Dreadnought-class ships, the quantity and power of these ships are significantly different. Dreadnoughts are not the ultimate deterrent weapons of the Empire, and the New Federation’s conventional military power is also significantly weaker than that of the Sherman Empire.”
Yang Ming earnestly reminded,
“At this stage, we only need to fulfill the duties of a vassal state, Edwan, have patience.”
“Yes,” Edwan sighed softly, “in any case, the Empire’s people are innocent.”
“I’m about to deploy, let’s leave it at that.”
“Oh, deploying? Wait Ming, can I watch how you deploy?”
Yang Ming was puzzled.
Was there anything interesting to see?
“Okay, let my assistant help you with a live broadcast, cha ready!”
“Affirmative!”
026 shouted from not far away, then ducked into the control room of the Red Demon cha, with chanical spine perfectly aligning with the seat interface.
The New Red Demon’s surrounding wires simultaneously released, and the tracked robots thodically retreated to the corner.
The cha head slowly lifted, its red eyes swiftly lit up.
Yang Ming donned his helt, a faint noise emanating from his neck, as the helt automatically connected with the gray-white exoskeleton cha.
The Fierce Ghost cha spread its limbs, and after leaping, Yang Ming’s form imdiately spun, precisely fitting into the cockpit, gripping the control rings with both hands, and tal foot clamps secured his feet.
Both chas stepped ten ters forward simultaneously.
Two chanical arms extended forward, adding flying modules to both chas.
“Loading complete.”
Yang Ming’s Fierce Ghost moved toward the tail compartnt.
