Chapter 154 - Tragic Part 1
Chapter 154 of "Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring'" begins revealing exciting developments: “Don’t panic, even a lion at its limit is beyond comparison to a pack of... Don’t stop now!
“Don’t panic, even a lion at its limit is beyond comparison to a pack of wild dogs.
Counterattack calmly!
And let the ships keep accelerating forward.
As soon as we leave this sea area, they’re just scraps!”
Qian Chengxue’s words soothed everyone.
In fact, when Su Mo rushed out, she had also thought about going out to pilot a mecha and join the battle.
But in the end, she gave up; sitting tight here as the Legion Leader was her best role.
“Understood!
It’s our turn to strike back!”
Zi Qing took a deep breath and issued the command!
“Yes!”
Everyone responded in unison.
On deck, flames soared into the sky; the sounds of artillery, gunfire, commanding voices, and cries for help echoed ceaselessly.
Su Mo sprinted through the chaotic crowd at high speed toward his Azure Mecha.
As for the Legion Leader’s mecha, it had been moved into a private hangar shortly after he boarded.
The problem was that his mecha was still left out in the open, an extremely conspicuous target.
Buzzing~
“For the Empire, charge!”
A series of noisy sonic booms came from the sky.
One after another, aircraft braving the gunfire swooped low, also dropping heavy bombs consecutively.
Whoosh~
One exploded right next to the sea where Su Mo was standing!
Boom~
A huge splash of water shot up, drenching Su Mo like a drowned rat.
Su Mo steadied himself and continued to charge forward, but missiles and bombs kept falling relentlessly.
Several attacks hit the ship, exploding violently; brightness surged into the sky, and the ship continually rocked.
At that moment, the ship’s missile launch units unfolded, one by one; missiles launched, all switched to inertial assault mode, and heat-tracking mode.
Boom boom boom~
The attacking fighter jets from the sky, one by one, were shot down.
However, the effectiveness wasn’t great; the hit rate drastically dropped, but that was unavoidable.
At this time, groups of players surged out from the lower decks, all wielding weapons like rocket launchers.
Since the combat mission involved an island rescue operation, and because the mission was critical, Qian Chengxue had brought the best batch of weapons, so the ship was equipped with a large number of heavy individual weapons.
“Brothers, it’s time to show our style!
Don’t let them see us weak!”
“No problem!
Let those bastards know how tough we are!”
Su Mo was also taken aback; when did their guild members become so fierce?
Then he turned his head and was immediately dumbfounded.
The first to rush out were all players from the Blazing Flame Guild, and leading them was a guy named Zhang Ru.
They were like chickens with their blood up.
Anyone would think these were the killers of their fathers.
Su Mo pondered that even in fights involving their own guild, they probably weren’t this enthusiastic.
The next second, Zhang Ru and others scattered around, each hoisting a rocket launcher and firing at the diving bombing planes.
Whoosh~
Boom!
Several low-flying fighter jets were directly taken down.
Su Mo snapped back to reality and hastened his pace.
Soon, he was braving enemy attacks as he rushed to the Azure Mecha.
He swiftly climbed aboard, opened the cockpit, and crawled in.
Instantly, the eyes of the entire Azure Mecha lit up, the half-crouched mecha stood upright, and he pulled out his close-range rifle and started burst-firing at the fighter jets in the sky!
Bang!
One, two!
Three!
Fighter jets were hit, exploding in the sky, or losing control and plunging straight into the sea.
Su Mo was getting more and more excited as he fought.
In normal circumstances, if these fighter jets increased their altitude, they would be more difficult to strike.
However, in their pursuit of accuracy,
they all insanely adopted low-altitude bombing, and didn’t care about their own safety at all, acting as if they were insane.
Some fighter jets even flew straight toward The Crane Orchid in a suicidal crash!
“Intercept those suicide fighter jets, don’t let them crash into us!”
At that moment, Zhang Ru realized something was wrong and screamed out.
Su Mo heard the commotion, turned his head, and saw the fighter jets making kamikaze attacks.
He saw three fighter jets side by side, diving in at high speed!
Their target was clear!
His expression changed slightly, and he immediately shifted his target, twisted his body on the ship’s armor, sprinted rapidly, and charged toward the direction of the three jets while shooting at them on the move!
Boom~
The hit suicide fighter jets exploded violently like fireballs, clearly loaded with a large amount of heavy explosives within their frames.
Zhang Ru was shocked and turned his head around, spotting Su Mo piloting the mecha.
“Damn!
A Second Generation!
Wait, this mecha, it’s that rookie expert!
Holy shit~nice skills!”
It is important to know that they were in a strong magnetic interference state, and the mecha’s internal auxiliary shooting mechanism must have been affected; now, they could only rely on individual skills.
At that moment, a loud bang erupted!
The Sea Corner behind The Crane Orchid exploded massively, sending a blaze into the sky that illuminated the nearby sea area, then the ship began to sink.
A large number of crew members jumped ship!
“Help!”
Inside the control room, Zhang Wenjing continuously reported the situation.
“The port side of the ship is damaged…..”
“The stern was hit by a heavy bomb…..”
The battle became even more brutal.
Zi Qing kept issuing orders: “Order Qin Wang and others to repair the damaged areas…..”
“Adjust the fire protection zone, focusing coverage on those diving fighter jets!”
“Also, order combatants to assist in defense!
Authorize the use of all weapons…..”
“Everyone, hold steady, don’t panic!
As long as we hold on, victory will be ours!”
“Understood!”
Cheng Xue was sternly looking at the navigational chart.
Though the situation was extremely grim, it was still within an acceptable range.
Once they left this area of strong interference and the ship regained its combat effectiveness, dealing with these guys would be easy.
According to their current speed, in at most half an hour, they should be able to deviate from the central area.
But this half hour would likely be the darkest moment, as the enemy would definitely act most desperately.
Of course, Zi Qing and others were very aware of this, so Cheng Xue didn’t put extra pressure on them and just stood watching the whole time.
She was now pondering one thing—who exactly was the enemy?
The way they fought felt eerily familiar.
In fact, Cheng Xue had slightly underestimated the enemy.
As the battle reached a stalemate, in the sky, inside the cockpit of a mecha marked with 001, a man with a sickly fanaticism in his eyes watched as one by one, the fighter jets were shot down.
Yet, his eyes remained fixed on The Crane Orchid.
He then pressed a special launch button on the control panel, and a red flare shot out.
The red flare burst open in mid-air, creating a spectacular display.
Upon seeing the flare burst, all the fighter jets in the sky suddenly launched a frenzied mass suicide attack on The Crane Orchid.
You should know that originally, only some fighter jets loaded to full capacity with bombs would initiate a suicide attack.
Now, all the planes were launching it all at once!
This was clearly a last-ditch effort to ensure that The Crane Orchid would be left behind.
