Chapter 709: Chapter 569: Deploying (Extra update for Silver Alliance Leader Arain) (Part 4)
It must be some unlucky soul being chased by a monster, and had the misfortune of heading straight for their fleet.
Spade asked in a deep voice.
“Can you determine the biological level of that monster?”
“I tried a fuzzy match with the database, but couldn’t find a match. However, judging by the other party’s size, the danger level should be very high. But the mecha being chased should not be ours, Lord Spade, should we still intervene in this matter?”
Oubri explained to Spade.
Spade pondered for a moment and said, “Issue a Level 3 combat alert notice, and also notify Rose and Su Mo to engage, ordering them to bring the target back.”
Oubri replied respectfully.
“This will be a good test of the Gluttonous Mecha’s capabilities.”
Expectation also showed on Spade’s face, as normally, dispatching Rose would be enough. There was no need to deploy the Gluttonous Mecha, let alone two mechas.
It was nothing more than Spade’s plan to let the repaired Gluttonous Mecha have a try, with Rose keeping watch.
Su Mo was practicing on the gravity ring, continuously pulling on the rings with his hands.
He had the equipment’s weight setting turned up to the maximum, straining with each pull.
Chen Shan watched, his eyelids twitching as he silently counted for Su Mo.
Su Mo had already pulled at least five hundred times, his physique was incredibly strong, unrealistically so.
“Aren’t you tired, Su Mo?”
Chen Shan asked, swallowing his saliva.
“Tired, but I have to train even if I’m tired, otherwise, my muscles will atrophy if I don’t fight for a long time,” Su Mo said as sweat poured off him like rain.
“It’s really demoralizing comparing oneself to others,” sighed Chen Shan.
“No need to compare yourself with Su Mo, just keep getting stronger. Su Mo, have some water,” Cheng Xue walked over, picking up a bottle of mineral water and handing it to Su Mo.
“Thanks,” Su Mo let go of the rings and took the bottle of water.
Just then, a piercing alarm sounded.
“Alert, Black Teeth has entered Level 3 combat alert status. Please, relevant personnel proceed immediately to the standby area on orders!”
Chen Shan was startled and prepared to go on standby.
At that moment, Su Mo spoke up, “Chen Shan, no need to rush, Level 3 combat alert won’t call on us, normally we’d need a Level 1 alert.”
“Force of habit, I forgot,” Chen Shan suddenly came to his senses, remembering they were no longer NCOs in the Third Legion, but rather officers accompanying Su Mo.
However, the next second, Su Mo’s phone suddenly vibrated.
Su Mo picked it up instinctively and glanced at it, his mouth twitching slightly as he spoke somewhat helplessly.
“You guys continue training; I’ve been called to battle.”
On hearing Su Mo’s words, Cheng Xue quickly grabbed her own phone to check, but there was no related message.
“Strange, how come I didn’t receive it.”
“If you didn’t get it, that’s a good thing. I’ll be back quickly,” Su Mo replied calmly.
“I’ll go with you to take a look,” Cheng Xue said, seeing that Su Mo was going to battle, she lost any interest in continuing to train.
“I’ll go too,” said Chen Shan, giving up on training as well.
“Suit yourselves,” Su Mo didn’t say much, and they all headed for the hangar.
Black Teeth’s hangar.
Staff were running everywhere, swiftly clearing the pathways for the combat deployment.
In the central area, two 4th-generation mechas sat quietly.
The most striking among them was surely Su Mo’s Gluttonous Mecha: a forty-meter-tall humanoid Mecha resembling a tyrannosaur head encased in layer upon layer of black metal, with two fierce ink-black eyes tightly shut. Its body was covered in layer upon layer of pitch-black armor, with seven holes carved into its spine, each fitted with a black restraint pipe. On both sides of its shoulders and hips, four sets of high-power rotational vector auxiliary jet devices had been added.
The fully repaired Gluttonous Mecha exuded an even more terrifying oppressive aura.
At this time, Su Mo and the others had arrived at the hangar.
Chen Shan, full of curiosity, asked,
“Su Mo, which Mecha is yours?”
Su Mo pointed towards the brand-new Gluttonous Mecha from a distance.
Chen Shan’s eyes bulged in amazement.
“I’m off to execute my mission now.”
Looking at the repaired Gluttonous Mecha, Su Mo was also exceptionally excited.
Qian Chengxue opened her mouth to remind him.
Then Su Mo ran towards the Gluttonous Mecha.
As Su Mo arrived at the foot of the Gluttonous Mecha, beside him, the Shadow of Light Assault lowered its head, and Rose spoke.
“You’re here, Su Mo.”
“Sorry for being late, I’ll be ready in a moment.”
Su Mo replied to Rose and then stepped onto the lifting platform.
Before long, Su Mo had smoothly entered the Gluttonous Mecha Biological Cabin, and the entire cabin submerged into the Mecha’s body.
The next second, all the lights in the Gluttonous Mecha Biological Cabin came on, and the entire system automatically started up.
The virtual image screen popped up with a series of prompts.
“Fast Start Mode activated.”
“Neural synchronization successful!”
“Communications link established!”
Taking a deep breath, Su Mo reported,
“Calling Black Teeth, this is the Gluttonous Mecha. I am the pilot, Su Mo; ready for battle, requesting authorization!”
Lord Spade responded deeply.
The next second, the hangar’s electronic broadcast announced,
“Dock number one is open, the combat begins!”
“I’m heading out first; remember to catch up.”
After saying this to Su Mo, Rose, controlling the Shadow of Light Assault, made a cold start. She dashed towards the runway at an incredibly rapid speed, as fast as a gust of wind.
Chen Shan and the others watched with pounding hearts, the launch speed was just too fast!
At that moment, the Gluttonous Mecha’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the entire Mecha sprang into action. It marched step by step to the runway. Compared to the Shadow of Light Assault, it was much slower.
Once the Gluttonous Mecha was in position, the four pairs of auxiliary jet wings on its back flared all at once.
The entire Gluttonous Mecha shot out in a whoosh.
Its speed was so fast that Chen Shan and the others couldn’t see clearly; it vanished in the blink of an eye. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Chen Shan and the others were stunned; they rushed toward the observation deck to gaze into the distant starry sky.
As soon as the Gluttonous Mecha Mark IV shot out from the Black Teeth, it went full throttle, accelerating explosively. The entire Mecha turned into a terrifying streak of light, chasing after the Shadow of Light Assault ahead with an extraordinarily terrifying speed.
Rose had just sensed something was amiss when the Gluttonous Mecha streaked past her, its speed so fast that even she showed a hint of shock.
Inside the Black Teeth command center, Spade stood on the observation deck, gazing at the Gluttonous Mecha that shimmered like a streak of light. His blood involuntarily boiled with excitement.
Such a feeling of violent speed was just too exhilarating.
In the starry sky, a red, sleek and agile second-generation Mecha with four pairs of mechanical auxiliary wings embedded in its back was desperately fleeing!
Chasing it was a huge Insect Race mutant of the third level, the Mantis Lizard Beast, with massive grey and white wings, a head like a mantis, sharp teeth exposed in its mouth, hands like talons of a hawk, and a tail tipped with hooks, all in furious pursuit.
