Beep! Beep! Beep!
A blaring noise was heard in this quiet meteoroid zone.
The lumps on the meteorites started coming to
life.
The imperial mechas dropped their disguise and revealed their beautiful mecha bodies. From the appearance and logos on the mechas, they were an imperial mecha clan from the Twilight Empire. There were approximately a hundred mechas.
“There are movements detected.” The leader of the ambush team spoke on the team channel.
“16, 17, capture the signal and confirm the coordinates,” The leader ordered calmly.
“Yes!” Two rough voices replied.
About ten seconds later, 16 and 17 shouted simultaneously, “Found it.”
“Send the coordinates to the team channel,” the leader said.
Two maps appeared on the screens of the imperial mechas. The coordinates 16 and 17 located were less than a kilometer apart.
“The position of our targets is confirmed. Everyone, prepare for battle.” The team leader immediately ordered his team members to prepare to fight (When two samples of coordinates of the same target are less than three kilometers apart, it’s considered accurate).
“Yes!” All the imperial operators took out their weapons and prepared for ambush. They were all carrying long-range beam guns. They aimed their guns at the huge transport fleet. Their plan was to destroy the first transport starship in the first volley of beams.
These imperial operators had been restraining their urge to kill for a long time. They were powerful but in this dangerous meteoroid zone, they must constantly maintain their vigilance. One mistake could cost them their lives.
Imperial mechas were more powerful than an ace mecha but it didn’t have the Divine Shield system like a god-class mecha so they had to actively dodge incoming meteors, which caused them to be quite irritated
They had been hiding for more than 60 hours in order to ambush the transport fleet. To prevent their target from noticing them, they only activated their disguise system. All their other systems were turned off. It meant that they were locked up in the small cockpit for almost three entire days. If they didn’t have a strong mind, they might have gone crazy.
“They’re finally here.” Everyone had killing intent in their eyes. After being locked up in a small space for a long time, it was common to have negative emotions. They needed a massacre to release their stress.
They also wanted to use this massacre to show the Huaxia Federation that Twilight wasn’t an easy prey to bully. Since they destroyed Three Stars Lock, they would have to pay the price for it.
After some time, three starships appeared at the far end of the universe. They proceeded in a triangular formation.
“Only three starships? What’s wrong?” The leader of the imperial operators was stunned. Based on the intel he received, there should be many transport ships.
“Let’s wait for a while.” The leader of the imperial operators felt that the three starships weren’t worth attacking. In an ambush, the first contact was always the most important. The leader didn’t want to waste this chance.
Once they were discovered, their enemy would be prepared for an ambush. It would be then too hard for them to destroy the transport ships behind the three starships. They wouldn’t be able to monitor all the starships too, so many might just split into different directions and escape.
The three starships got closer to them. However, there was still no sign of the huge transport fleet. Were these starships just patrol ships? Were they not part of the transport fleet?
“No, these are not patrol ships. They’re battleships.” As the starships got closer, the imperial operators managed to see the details of the ships clearly.
“This is the newest battleship model, Destruction Devil.” The leader of the imperial operators managed to guess the models of these starships accurately.
“Shall we attack?” One of the imperial operators was excited. This was the newest battleship model. That meant that it was the best battleship of the Federation. If they were able to destroy three of them today, they would be heroes.
“Leader, let’s attack them. Let these three Destruction Devils be the price for destroying our Three Stars Lock,” another imperial operator shouted. They were losing their patience. They needed to fight so that they could release their stress. If they kept controlling their emotions, they might really go crazy. They had already loaded their guns. It was inhumane to ask them to wait again.
The team leader of the imperial operators remained calm. His team members kept requesting to fight but he didn’t act rashly. He asked the mainframe of his mecha to scan the area behind the three battleships first. He wanted to know if the transport fleet was hiding behind them.
“There’s no other sources of energy found in this planetary sector.” The mainframe reported its findings.
The leader frowned. By right, the transport fleet should have reached the Qingri wormhole by now. Why were they traveling so slowly?
They were afraid that their enemy would hasten their pace so they came here three days ago.
“Leader, don’t hesitate anymore. We’ve already scanned the planetary sector. There are no starships behind them.” Another imperial operator urged his leader to initiate the ambush.
All the mainframes of the mechas found no signs of other starships in this area. The transport fleet might have met with some accident and got delayed in the process. There were more than a hundred imperial mechas on their side so they should be able to destroy the three Destruction Devils in less than two hours.
Destruction Devil battleships had strong cannons and the shell of the ship was strong. However, it was still lacking in the other aspects when compared to fighting against an imperial mecha clan. The leader believed that they would be able to destroy the three starships.
The leader contemplated for a while. He felt that attacking the three starships with no backup wouldn’t affect their overall plan. Hence, he ordered, “Everyone, prepare to attack.”
The beam guns were lifted up to their eye level. All of them pointed at the three Destruction Devils.
“Attack!”
More than a hundred beams flew towards the first battleship.
