Legend of the Supreme Soldier Chapter 456 - Crossover Tactic

Chapter 456: Crossover Tactic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The 10 thousand Collision chs were like neatly and tightly arranged nails, flying at over Mach 20 with an astonishing power of destruction. No ch or starship could be left untouched by an attack of this kind of force.

Among all the viewers of their imminent clash, no one would believe that anything could be unscathed from a crash like this! Each of the chs were only 25 ters apart in their formation. This was an almost negligible distance in the scale of the universe.

What was more unbelievable was the fact that the thousands of Collision chs that erged from the purple gas cloud were flying straight into the companies without slowing down. Had they gone mad? Both sides were flying at over Mach 20 - collisions at this speed would break even the strongest material used to build the chs.

Were they planning to die? Was this a suicidal attack?

Just when everyone was puzzled by their strategy, the smaller swarm of Collision chs changed formation again. They regrouped, repositioned themselves and adjusted their distances, all in just five seconds, without any signs of delay.

In those five seconds, the ssy swarm of Collision chs that ca out of the purple gas cloud reford into dozens of combat squad units. All of this achieved while travelling at over Mach 20.

The comms channel was silent. No one said a word. Only the occasional heavy breathing was heard. In these precious five seconds, Sang Pu did not give any orders. He believed that every Sang Tribe mber would understand his intention. Sang Tribe mbers were all excellent warriors, and to be chosen as frontline soldiers ant that they were the cream of the crop. They were all raised to trust in each other.

Five seconds! This was a suspenseful five seconds, and an unforgettable mont. What extraordinary sight would appear when tens of thousands of chs crashed into each other? Everyone looked at the holographic screen without blinking, holding their breaths. Be it in the bars, public squares or schools, or in individual hos, as long as the holographic screen was on, these five seconds were filled with deafening silence.

Even the wordy frontline reporter had kept his mouth shut as he watched in silent awe.

Just what kind of people were they?

________________________________________________________________

Sang Pu's eyes were fixed on his holographic screen. Right now, he was no different than any other mber of the Sang Tribe. He would have to use his own strength and skills to fight for his own fate.

After bursting out of the purple gas cloud, the holographic scanning systems on the Collision chs had begun to function again.

The huge presence of the 1st to 10th Companies registered clearly on the holographic screen. This was not his first ti doing this, but he could already feel the electric jolt of excitent shot through his veins. He could even hear his own breathing grow shorter!

Getting close now … Closer still … The huge wave of Collisions chs rushed towards him on the holographic screen. In that mont, Sang Pu felt like a withered leaf, riding the massive waves of a tsunami - he could die at any mont! Sang Pu did not know who was piloting the ch that would go right past him, but that did not matter. The point was, if he really crashed into that ch, both their chs would disintegrate into pieces, and his own body would explode into a thousand pieces, just like his ch! The ch showed no signs of avoiding him as it flew straight ahead towards him. The ch occupied almost two thirds of his holographic screen - they were very close to each other now! He could even see the patterns on the Collision ch, unique to their skeleton material.

Roar! His blood sang with exhilaration. Sang Pu felt a rush of excitent like never before.

Now!

His dilated pupils shone with battlelust, and his hands moved the ch's control lever.

To the side, then push forward. His hands moved the lever steadily without delay, just a smooth gesture on the controls.

Sang Pu's Collision ch wriggled to the side, smooth as a fish, and flew right past the other ch that was coming towards him! There was no ti to think. At over Mach 20, Sang Pu flew his ch through the 25 ter gap between the chs in front of him, and continued his trajectory.

There were no signs of collision! Sang Pu did not need to check to know that he was safe. His tension finally released, and he felt the fatigue of the war overwhelming him.

Every Sang Tribe mber knew about Collision chs like the back of their hands. Unlike He Yue Galaxy's ch pilots, the Collision chs were their only choice of weapons, for they had no other options. They could only think hard about new ways to fight with the Collision chs. They did not think about upgrading their chs, or changing the weapons installed, or buy newer models, since Collision chs were practically their companions, their trusted weapon in the face of battle. That was why every Sang Tribe mber who had their own Collision ch would take very good care of them, and knew every tiny detail of their chs!

That was why Sang Pu did not need to check to know that his ch did not co into contact with the other chs.

However, now was not the ti to rest. Sang Pu shook himself awake, suppressing his joy of having survived the stunt, and forced himself to calm down as soon as possible. He understood his duties as commander of the entire Sang Tribe. He was not just an average soldier. Soldiers could perform outstanding feats through their excitent. A commander, however, would benefit more from staying calm. Only calmness can help him make the right decision.

Sang Pu was not aware that his ch's skeleton wings and that of the ch that flew past him were separated by less than 10 centiters back then. At a speed of over Mach 20, any minor contact would be have its implications amplified. If he had steered five centiters more to the side, his ending would have been different.

Sang Pu quickly cald down, and began to assess his surroundings. The chs that ca out of the purple gas cloud with him had all survived the flight. Sang Pu had not anticipated Sang Tie's arrival, and had only planned to lure the unknown lifeforms out of the purple gas cloud. This would considerably strengthen their position. With the comms system online, they would be able to coordinate attacks more effectively. The lack of numbers can be overco with better strategizing. Besides, outside the purple gas cloud, their holographic scanning systems would allow them to see better, and get a better sense of the overall situation.

He was surprised to find Sang Tie and the readily assembled battalion. An idea ca to him, and Sang Pu was reminded of a combat technique that they had often practiced in the Sang Family Village - crossover flying. This was sothing they ca up with themselves. It consisted of two ch squads flying through each other, through the gaps between the chs in each squad. This was a very dangerous strategy, and would require highly skilled ch pilots. After all, if both sides were flying at high speed, the ch pilot would have little ti to react when flying through the gaps. Failing this would cause them to suffer casualties from both squads due to the impact. This strategy was designed to use against enemies in tight pursuit, and Sang Pu thought this was just the right scenario for it.

However, Sang Pu also knew that, despite their familiarity with this technique, they had never done it on such a large scale, with tens of thousands of chs involved. Besides, they had not used this technique in practice before, and practices never involved flying at such a high speed. He could not be certain that every Collision ch would survive this. Nevertheless, it seed that they did far better than he expected. Only a few chs had collided with each other.

Sang Pu knew that it was ti to turn the tide of the war.
