Chapter 381: General Ling!
Chapter 381: General Ling!
Editor: H2dH2mr From the ti they had discovered the aerial invasion till now, two hours had elapsed unknowingly.
The night was still very dark, and the enemy still had not been able to break through the defensive line of the ground forces.
anwhile, the enemies who had just appeared had not made much impact due to the desperate resistance from all the special-class cha of the Federation forces.
The battle was once again mired in a deadlock.
The commander of the ground forces had grown numb in the face of wave after wave of casualty reports.
He went from deep heartache to unfeeling numbness, because he himself had no idea whether he would share the sa fate as many of these warriors, sacrificed in the battle on this planet …
“Look, what’s that up above …?” A staff officer suddenly cried out in surprise.
He was the one tasked with monitoring the battlefield, and right now, his eyes were riveted on the large screen on the wall of the command centre.
At this cry, the commander quickly raised his head from the mass of reports before him, and his eyes imdiately noticed two radiant cha almost bright enough to dazzle his eyes in the air above the dormitory district.
That familiar form caused him to lose control and shout, “Godd*mmit!
They actually dare to violate the terms of the joint declaration!” Right then, on the battlefield, almost everyone had noticed the two cha hovering in the air.
The cha’s outer forms were just too large and bright — it was practically impossible to miss them.
It was like soone had hit the pause button on the initially fierce battlefield; both sides stopped fighting in unplanned unison.
Imperial cha were forbidden from appearing in regular battlefields, but now two had inexplicably appeared in the airspace above planet Newline.
They stood tall and proud as they looked down on the battlefield below.
When the enemy fighters saw the emblem on the chests of the two imperial cha, they instantly emitted an earth-shattering cheer.
In contrast, the defensive troops of planet Newline, all of the Federation warriors including the academy instructors, were swamped by an emotion that felt a lot like despair.
Tang Yu had just destroyed an ace cha when he heard the horrified gasps of the other instructors around him.
And right after that, the entire battlefield descended into a kind of cold stillness.
Bewildered, he lifted his head, and when he saw the two cha hovering in the air, his pupils contracted, and his hands which had been busy operating his cha stiffened …
Tang Yu reflexively shot a glance at the dormitory district — he could almost see what the final fate of the people remaining here would be already.
He suddenly thought of sothing and swiftly checked the location of his pet disciple Qiao Ting.
Unexpectedly, he found that the other had already departed the range of the dormitory district and was heading into the depths of the military academy.
Tang Yu could not help but feel both shocked and delighted.
Shocked that Qiao Ting had not obeyed his orders, acting on his own to leave the protected area …
if anything had happened, he would not have been able to rush over in ti to help.
Delighted because, even though Qiao Ting had disobeyed him, he had made a fortuitous mistake in leaving the dormitory district.
Perhaps this way, he may have a chance of surviving.
Yes, Tang Yu did not believe that they would be able to survive the attacks of an imperial operator.
It was foreseeable that anyone who remained in the dormitory district, whether it were soldiers or instructors, or even those students under the protection of the beam shield, would be unable to escape death in the end.
Having no other recourse, Tang Yu’s gaze turned cold as he made an instant decision.
He would lead all the instructors here and try their best to hold these two imperial cha here as long as possible, giving Qiao Ting’s group more ti to run away.
The two imperial cha saw that the entire battlefield had frozen for several seconds at their ergence, becoming deathly silent, and their hearts were filled with pride and satisfaction.
They stared with cool disinterest down at the people below — the Huaxian ground forces and the ace operators in their ranks were like nothing more than ants in the imperial cha’s eyes.
At this mont, one of the imperial cha asked the other tonelessly, “What have you found?” “I see two batches of baby fish1 trying to et up, hehe …” the other imperial cha suddenly cackled.
“Is it the target?” The imperial cha who had first spoken could not help but raise an eyebrow, sowhat surprised.
He did not expect to be so lucky, discovering their target right from the get-go.
“Most probably1.
Those baby fish are all trainee cha of the academy.
Two of them are even ace trainee cha.
They should be the two targets central command has assigned to us.
Parker, I’ll leave this end to you.
I’ll go handle those little fish, and once I’m done, we can return.” The other imperial cha could not help but lick his lips in anticipation.
Compared to being a humanoid cannon without any need for skill or technique, he still much preferred teasing baby fish and having so fun.
“Don’t go overboard.” The imperial cha which had first spoken could not help but warn the other.
It seed like the two imperial cha had a good relationship.
“Chill, chill.
When have I not completed a mission?” replied the other imperial cha.
Imdiately after, he had operated his cha to disappear into the night sky …
Tang Yu, who had been closely observing the two imperial cha all this ti, saw one of them abruptly disappear and his heart clenched.
“Where did he go?” Before he could search for the other’s tracks, the remaining imperial cha suddenly drew a giant cylindrical weapon almost as tall as the cha itself from behind it.
Tang Yu’s face changed drastically at the sight and he shouted, “Dodge!” As an elite ace, Tang Yu had very comprehensive knowledge of the imperial cha he would be using once he advanced.
The weapon the opponent had brought out was precisely the most powerful and horrifying beam energy weapon imperial cha had —— Line of Oblivion!
As long as one was hit by the weapon, even an imperial cha of the sa level would only be able to survive by exhausting all of its power on its King Shield.
Any cha below imperial cha absolutely could not survive a blow from this weapon.
The only way to escape was to leave the attack range of the Line of Oblivion, which was why Tang Yu had imdiately yelled out for his side to run.
“Boom!” The round cylinder in the imperial cha’s hands suddenly shot out a violet-black beam.
At the mont it discharged, even a cha as powerful as the imperial cha could not keep its balance — the entire cha was sent flying backwards; it was clear to see how powerful the kickback of this cannon was.
Thanks to Tang Yu’s warning, all the Federation cha in the air swiftly flew out of the trajectory of the beam.
Still, even so, several cha who did not react fast enough were grazed by the violet-black beam.
Even this tiny bit of contact was enough for the power contained by the beam to blow these cha apart, turning them into hunks of debris before being vaporized to disappear without a trace into the air.
This one shot of the imperial cha’s cannon had been targeting the armoured ground forces fighting against the enemy cha.
Just one shot, and a circular black space appeared right in the centre of the neat rectangular formation of the armoured troops.
Those troops standing within the circle had been swallowed by a wave of black, similarly disappearing without a trace …
“This is too horrific.
We have no way of resisting this!” At the sight, one of the staff officers in ground command was unable to take the pressure and collapsed to his knees, wailing.
Although imperial cha were unable to determine the outco of a battlefield outright like god-class cha, the ground forces of the Federation which were already at a disadvantage just had no spare energy to resist against the enemy cha anymore after receiving this devastating blow.
This spineless behaviour of the staff officer would normally have drawn the scorn and rebuke of others, but everyone in the command centre had been shocked dumb by this strike.
The command centre was extraordinarily silent, desperation and despair spreading out like a shroud.
The imperial cha saw that he had managed to wipe out almost one-sixth of the armoured ground forces with just one shot and nodded in satisfaction.
“Truly impressive.
This is the true value of us imperial operators …” After saying that, the imperial operator stabilised his cha and raised the cylinder once more.
This ti, he was aiming for the area several li behind the armoured troops, the radiantly shining dormitory district …
“What a great target!” The imperial operator licked in his lips excitedly.
As long as he utterly destroyed that area, their mission would be half-completed.
How funny that these Huaxians, thinking they were so smart, had created such a district-wide beam shield.
This saved him a lot of effort, allowing him to find the target he wanted to hit so easily.
It was just so bloody convenient.
Tang Yu, who had just led the instructors to evade the trajectory of the beam, saw where the cylinder was aid at and could not help but cry, “Stop!
Bastard!” He operated his cha over in an attempt to prevent the attack, but it was already too late.
The opponent pulled the trigger and another violet-black beam shot out from the cylinder …
“Boom!” The violet-black beam struck the beam shield of the dormitory district without rcy.
The beam shield shattered instantly, but the beam was not weakened significantly.
In the next mont, it blasted its way into the dormitory district.
Many buildings were imdiately consud by the violet-black beam, and one-tenth of the initially lovely and tranquil dormitory district was gone.
Witnessing this, tears ford in Tang Yu’s fierce gaze.
Right when the beam struck its target, he could almost see the cadets inside being vaporised in the spray of dust and ash, and his heart twisted with anguish.
“Ain’t this place big …” The imperial cha grumbled, before once again lifting its cylinder to aim at the dormitory district, preparing to fire the second round of the Line of Oblivion.
“Stop, godd*mmit!” Tang Yu beca frenzied.
Without hesitation, he made his cha leap towards the imperial cha.
Even though he knew this was suicidal, he just could not stand idly by and watch as the children died here …
“How impudent!” The imperial cha saw an ace cha charging like a reckless fool at him, trying to stop him from firing the Line of Oblivion.
Sneering, he pulled the trigger, sending another violet-black beam shooting out of the cannon to barrel towards Tang Yu’s cha …
“Major Tang Yu!” the instructors all shouted in horror.
Everyone there knew that as soon as the Line of Oblivion hit, Tang Yu was very unlikely to survive.
Just as the violet-black beam was about to consu Tang Yu’s cha whole …
With a loud “boom!” the violet-black beam was abruptly stopped in its tracks by a powerful wave of energy.
The beam then quickly dissipated, and amazingly, Tang Yu’s cha reappeared completely undamaged.
What in the world had happened?
Even Tang Yu himself was equally stunned and confused.
He had charged forwards, ready to sacrifice himself, hoping that he could exhaust as much of the power behind the Line of Oblivion’s attack as possible so that the dormitory district below would receive less damage.
Unexpectedly, in that split second before he would have been struck by the attack, a pale blue beam had suddenly co from a distance to intercept the Line of Oblivion, saving him.
He instinctively looked in the direction where the pale blue beam had co from.
In the night sky above, a cha was flying here at high speed.
A few seconds later, the cha appeared before everyone’s eyes …
Tang Yu teared up when he saw this cha.
Like a bullied child who had finally caught sight of a dependable adult, he could not help but cry out, “General Ling!” Tang Yu had shouted this through his cha’s loudspeakers, so everyone on the battlefield heard this cry loud and clear!
小猫鱼: Original phrase here is, quite literally, ‘baby/little catfish’.
Apparently, it’s actually referring to tiny fish used to feed cats.
