Chapter 263: Two-Pronged Attack

r lips into a sarcastic smile and said in a low voice:"Hehehe, Empress Dowager truly lives up to her title. I said how could she so readily hand over the government affairs, it turns out she was waiti...Ripples replied truthfully to Hill, saying that if she were a space pirate, she would also have them send reinforcements to break through and seek help from the Blue Star after they arrived.

"What can we do then We can only wait."

Anne frowned, voicing the thoughts of them all.

"We cannot passively wait, we must save ourselves."

Kate said directly.

"I agree with Kate's point. While we can't go to the battlefield, there are plenty of things we can do. We can repair mechs, help the wounded, and even clean up the battlefield. As long as it's something within our capabilities, we should all contribute."

The ripples immediately spoke.

As for arranging for someone to break out and seek help, we need to discuss this with Teacher OuYang. We can't make a unilateral decision. Perhaps the base already has arrangements in place.

Kate continued.

Everyone understood, after all they were minors and couldn't make their own decisions about everything.

At this time, OuYang came to find the students of Class A with a serious expression. He just happened to hear Kate's last words and frowned, asking:

What are you guys discussing here

"Teacher OuYang, we were ultimately being presumptuous!"

Kate let out a rare sigh, a tinge of sourness in it.

Ouyang raised an eyebrow and immediately said:

"Speak nicely!"

"Your mission is not only to accompany us in the mecha practice, but also to protect Hill Zhao!"

The ripples also learned to arch an eyebrow like Ou Yang and replied.

Ouyang immediately turned his gaze to Hill, who hurriedly waved his hand and then said:

"It was their own guess."

"Therefore"

Ouyang asked.

“After our analysis, we determined that the only two viable options are to hold strong on ZJWL planet and seek support or attempt a breakout. As a group of inexperienced individuals, we believe the immediate priority is to defend this position. Regarding the breakout, we would need Master OuYang and the garrison's colonel to make the arrangements.”

Kate's analysis is insightful.

> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Uyang Zhi shi felt that his disciples being too intelligent was not necessarily a good thing.

We will do everything we can to assist the garrison troops in holding out and persisting until reinforcements arrive.

Anne stepped forward and assured Mr. Ou Yang.

"I understand, but you must ensure your own safety. Do not act alone and avoid being separated from the group."

Yes, Teacher!

After everyone responded with a surge of enthusiasm, they began to form groups and prepare to head to the mech repair bay. That location was more suitable for them to develop their talents.

Ripple lagged behind, walked up to Teacher OuYang's side and whispered:

"Teacher, if it's a breakout and call for help, count me in. If they can't beat me, they can't catch me either."

"No"

My uncle equipped me with a fourth-generation mech.

"" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This reason is hard to refuse.

"Your uncle actually got you a test mech!"

Ouyang was also a little surprised.

"Well, I have enough psychic energy to handle this mech."

"I understand, I will consider your suggestion and get back to you."

Ou Yang waved his hand and went straight to the treatment room. He wanted to see how Sean was doing.

Outside the base, both sides' mechs were locked in a fierce battle. The pirates' mechs tried every way to break through and get close to the defense shield. If they could destroy it, they would be halfway to success.

The ground troops' mechs weren't slouches either. Being military personnel, they were all battle-hardened veterans, not green recruits fresh off the training grounds. They almost immediately sensed the pirates' intentions just from their appearance.

The mecha soldiers quickly formed groups of three to intercept the enemy's charge head-on. At the same time, the stationary beam cannons at the base immediately opened fire, aiming precisely at the pirate mechs and attacking them. A single shot could kill or disable at least ten pirate mechs, causing these pirates to suffer heavy losses.

Forty minutes later, the pirates' mechs immediately flew out of the defensive shield and returned to their own ship, beginning to brew for another attack. Some of the stationed mechs cleaned up the battlefield while others retreated back into the defensive shield, starting to rest and replenish their energy.

As soon as the mecha soldier jumped out of their mecha, technicians rushed over, two to a mecha. They inspected and frantically repaired them. Among these technicians were all the students from Class A.

Ripple and Kate, as assistants, were constantly moving within the mecha, resolving problems that their companions couldn't.

This batch of mechs had just been checked and the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield came back. They brought back the mechs of fallen comrades, with the bodies sent away individually. Over twenty soldiers were lost in direct combat this time.

Students looked at the expressionless soldiers, their faces solemn as well.

This is war, it's either you die or I die. Over the past few years, the neighboring star system of Clouded Shade has been making constant small moves, constantly provoking the borders of our United Empire. There have been continuous small-scale conflicts, all of which are already considered small skirmishes.

War is cruel, it will never develop as you imagine. My harshness towards you all is just so that in some future battle, I can be of help to you.

Ouyang came to the students' side and said in a low voice.

"Master OuYang, we understand your hard work. For the sake of uniting the Empire and our families, we will definitely hold our ground and protect the peace of our star system."

Kate clenched her fist and said.

"Stand firm, safeguard peace!"

Newbies were once again encouraged by the big shots, and they continued to shine brightly like they had been injected with chicken blood.

But the ripples were called away by Ou Yang.

"I want to see your mech!"

Uyang wanted to confirm the performance of the fourth-generation mecha. He had some other thoughts.

The ripples did not refuse, and took out the purple fourth-generation mecha from the spatial nexus.

Ouyang leaped onto the mecha, but unfortunately, the door to the central control position was not open.

"Onward!"

"Here I am!"

After the ripples jumped up, with a press of his palm, the mech cockpit immediately opened.

The space could barely fit two people. One after the other, they entered. As ripples released their mental energy, they instantly connected with the mecha. Then, the entire mecha came alive as if it were sentient. Various data flashed before their eyes, and then their vision expanded. A panoramic view of the mecha was displayed on a screen in front of them, covering every angle without a blind spot.

The ripples of divine consciousness stirred, and the mecha took a step, leaving the hangar. Immediately after, it leapt vertically and soared into the air.

"That's quite good, I want to requisition your mech."

Ouyang confirmed that this mecha was indeed fully controlled by mental power, and immediately said.

"I'm sorry, Teacher OuYang, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you. This mecha is designed to identify its owner through biological and psychic recognition, meaning only I can operate it. No one else can."

Ouyang frowned after hearing this. He had just discovered that this mecha had a higher level of security.

“The cost of this mecha is too high, and it’s controlled entirely by mental power. There aren’t many people in the United Empire with a mental power level above 3S, and this mecha is equipped with both hot and cold weapons, its lethality being twice that of third-generation mechas. So this mecha was made for me, you can't operate it.”

"Can't you just authorize it"

"No! Your mental energy doesn't meet the operating standards."t have to travel back and forth, and I'm very satisfied with this job."Ripples explained."Alas! The world is in chaos, nowhere is stable. As a young woman, it's indeed unwise for you to travel alone."...
