“Understood.”

Puttmi quickly responded.

On the left flank of the battlefield, Qianchengxue, piloting the IV generation bio-mech Silver Wing, relentlessly suppressed an IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly. The silver spear in her hand pierced towards the enemy like a stream of light.

The IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly flapped its wings, dodging at high speed while occasionally opening its mouth to charge up a Pollock beam and fire it at Qianchengxue.

Qianchengxue concentrated fully, maneuvering the mech to evade at high speed while rapidly calculating the opportunity to counterattack.

However, every so often, one or two small Crimson Dragonfly insects suicidally pounced, frantically crashing into the AT field barrier of Silver Wing, endlessly harassing and distracting her.

Qianchengxue frowned. Clearly, they had a significant advantage on the flank. However, these bugs were like emotionless weapons, relentlessly throwing themselves at the flame to their deaths.

Planets C181 and C182 were within sight, yet they couldn't get close.

Any mech that approached was instantly torn apart by the suicidal swarm.

Just then, the voice of Third Legion Commander Brikas echoed in Qianchengxue's communication channel. He said hoarsely, "Qianchengxue, Lord Li Ruqi just sent a message, the situation in the central area is not optimistic, reinforcements are urgently needed. I know this is an excessive request, but I hope you can quickly kill the IV-type Crimson Dragonfly blocking you and free up your hands to help."

"I understand."

After listening, Qianchengxue fully controlled Silver Wing, transforming into a stream of light and piercing towards the enemy.

The IV-type Crimson Dragonfly let out a series of insect cries, its biological reaction soaring, and it fearlessly met the attack.

The two collided in the starry sky, and a huge shockwave swept outwards.

At the same time, in the Third Legion's communication channel, the voices of the officers roared loudly: "For the Federation!"

The previously somewhat conservative combat units instantly became extremely aggressive. In squads, mechs gathered together, piercing through the constantly emerging swarm like sharp knives.

One by one, the slain bugs emitted mournful cries as they fell.

However, there were also mechs and starfighters that were pounced on by the swarm and instantly torn apart. With no hope of survival, one by one, mechs and fighters activated their self-destruct programs.

Rumble~

In an instant, fireballs rose.

In the communication channel, the heart-wrenching cries of comrades echoed incessantly.

"Sun Ming!!"

......

In an instant, the intensity of the battle on the left flank soared, and the mortality rate also rose, but of course, the heavy price also had an equivalent return.

The advancing speed of the entire attacking force increased.

In the central battlefield, the swarm relentlessly crashed into the front-line mech defense, but the front-line defense was not as indestructible as a rock. With each impact, many personnel fell.

The entire formation was like a solid dam, but cracks were appearing.

Watching his comrades die one by one, negative emotions such as fear, unease, and dread constantly surrounded the front-line troops.

At that moment, the front-line defense began to be torn open.

The fire support from the rear became somewhat feeble, which was very inappropriate.

The situation on the battlefield became increasingly unstable.

Su Mo, constantly fighting and darting around in the monster horde, clearly felt the increasing pressure. Numerous Crimson Dragonfly were chasing him, launching frantic attacks.

Beams of light shot everywhere.

He didn't dare to use the AT field to resist all the attacks, the load was too great.

"What's going on? The number of bugs has increased?"

The Fabricator · Devourer said in a deep voice: "The reinforcements for the swarm have never stopped. The main problem is that your people can't hold on, the formation is in chaos, and the rear fleets are being harassed, weakening the firepower."

Hearing this, Su Mo's expression became even more solemn.

"Damn it, this won't do. I still need to find a way to take down those few behind me and free up my hands."

"It's not realistic, just wait a little longer. Even if you manage to kill them, it won't help much, and it won't reverse the situation on the battlefield much. Moreover, the current situation is unclear, don't act rashly."

The Fabricator · Devourer objected.

In fact, the Fabricator · Devourer didn't even put the bugs chasing Su Mo in its eyes. Based on its understanding of Su Mo, even without its assistance, Su Mo would be able to handle them.

What it was really worried about were the unknown bugs!

Su Mo frowned even tighter, saying nothing.

In the Black Yao's command room, Puttmi kept reporting.

"The 7th Squadron under the 11th Battalion of the First Legion is annihilated!"

"The GT Department's 28th Reserve has suffered nearly half casualties."

......

The battle member avatars displayed on the entire holographic image dimmed one by one.

As the war dragged on, the numbers on the casualty report became increasingly shocking.

"Lord Li Ruqi, this can't go on. Why don't we let Black Yao join the battle?"

Puttmi asked through gritted teeth.

"I ask you, has the Bug King appeared?"

Li Ruqi asked with a very solemn expression.

"No."

Puttmi paused slightly, then said, "Then if we move now and the Bug King appears, what will we use to fight?"

Li Ruqi said it seemingly easily, but the muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably, and his heart was bleeding. He was more upset than anyone.

Each number that jumped on the casualty statistics represented the loss of a life.

But as a commander, he had to be extremely rational and cold-blooded, make the best judgment, and not be swayed by emotions.

"But didn't Belo and the others say that even if there are V-type monsters, they will have ways to deal with them?"

"Do you think the Bug King will appear alone? Remember my words, never put all your hopes on others."

Li Ruqi's words left Puttmi speechless.

The entire command room's atmosphere was unusually oppressive.

However, Li Ruqi finally made a strategic adjustment. He said, "Send the order, order Black Tooth to use all available ammunition, unleash Dandelion series PGS-03 type sub-munition bursting bombs, and provide powerful fire support to the weak areas."

Hearing Li Ruqi's words, Puttmi's hanging heart relaxed slightly.

"Understood!"

....

In the starry sky, after receiving the order, Black Tooth opened its loading launch ports one by one.

Then, rounded missiles were exposed.

In the next second, all were ejected.

These mother bombs swept past the front-line mech forces and plunged into the swarm.

In an instant, each silently exploded.

Then, a chain of dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky. The originally dense swarm was like it had been sifted by an iron sieve, becoming sparse.

The pressure on the front-line mech forces was greatly reduced, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Mo, who was darting around in the swarm, saw this scene, and his tense expression relaxed slightly. It seemed the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Just then, inside the red planet C185, six incomparably scarlet eyes opened, and a shuddering aura spread out.

The Fabricator · Devourer's low voice sounded in Su Mo's mind.

"Don't fly over there, it's not safe there. I'll re-plan the route, follow my instructions."

"Okay!"

Su Mo didn't think much about it.

Then, Su Mo controlled the Gluttony mech to charge towards the monster according to the route indicated by the Fabricator · Devourer.

Along the way, Crimson Dragonfly pounced.

Su Mo waved the ultra-alloy blade, sweeping past like autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

Clang~

The Crimson Dragonfly blocking the way were cut in half, and viscous blood splattered.

At this time, the Gluttony mech was like a killing god.

Just then, Su Mo's eyes suddenly shrank. He saw that Xulis, piloting the Dark Warrior, was fighting with an IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly and an IV-type Elite-class Crimson Dragonfly with difficulty.

As a result, Su Mo forcibly broke in.

The IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly felt extreme danger and suddenly turned its head to stare at Su Mo.

Xulis was also slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but glance at Su Mo.

Su Mo's face darkened. He didn't have time to make any evasive maneuvers and was about to collide. He could only brace himself and control the Gluttony mech to open its mouth and fire a thermal radiation beam at the IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly that was staring at him.

Boom~

A huge explosion spread out.

The IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly was caught off guard and took a heavy hit, emitting a painful insect cry.

But after all, it was a Lord-class, so it couldn't be killed with just one hit. When the explosion subsided, it glared at the Gluttony mech with bloodshot eyes.

Su Mo's face darkened, and he quickly controlled the Gluttony mech to swerve to the side.

At this time, the three bugs following Su Mo also passed by from the side.

The IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly, which had been attacked, directly flapped its wings, abandoned Xulis, and followed.

Xulis watched the monster being pulled away by Su Mo, his face burning as if someone had slapped him hard.

His face was extremely ugly. What did this mean?

Did he look down on him?

His fists clenched so hard that they cracked.

But he still suppressed the anger in his heart and accepted the situation.

After all, it was indeed extremely difficult for him to fight two opponents alone. Now he could free up his hands to deal with this IV-type Elite-class Crimson Dragonfly.

Su Mo drove the Gluttony mech and ran wildly.

He glanced back and saw that the bugs chasing him had become four, and red beams of light were attacking.

Su Mo quickly maneuvered the Gluttony mech to evade at high speed. The red beams of light almost grazed the Gluttony mech. A slight miscalculation would definitely result in being hit.

Su Mo's face was extremely ugly, and he said, "What's going on? Why are they all chasing me?"

The Fabricator · Devourer silently re-planned an escape route for Su Mo and said in a deep voice, "Fly along this route, shake them off a bit."

After listening, Su Mo suddenly controlled Gluttony to circle and accelerate in the starry sky.

In an instant, the Gluttony mech gradually distanced itself from the four pursuing bugs.

But Su Mo didn't have time to catch his breath.

Wang Hai's voice sounded in the communication channel.

"Su Mo? What are you doing here?"

Su Mo was also stunned.

He saw Wang Hai in the distance fighting two IV-type Crimson Dragonfly. He scanned the approaching Gluttony mech and was also surprised.

Su Mo's mind went blank, and he suddenly pulled the control stick, deviating from the route planned by the Fabricator · Devourer.

The four IV-type Crimson Dragonfly that were chasing up emitted special insect cries.

One of the two IV-type Crimson Dragonfly that were attacking Wang Hai actually abandoned Wang Hai and chased after Su Mo.

Wang Hai saw this scene and said to Su Mo in a deep voice, "Thanks, hold on, I'll finish this one off and come to support you!"

Su Mo heard Wang Hai's words, his expression extremely wonderful. He turned off the communication and angrily questioned the Fabricator · Devourer.

"What the hell are you doing? What kind of route is this? Are you trying to kill me?"

Three were already enough, but now it suddenly became five, including two Lord-class.

The Fabricator · Devourer did not answer Su Mo's words, but silently gave an escape route.

"I believe you're a ghost!"

Su Mo decisively didn't believe the Fabricator · Devourer and deviated to the side.

In the Black Yao's command room, an operator reported in astonishment.

"Report, the Gluttony mech is leaving the forward combat area and is moving at high speed."

"Report, the Gluttony mech has attracted the IV-type Lord-class Crimson Dragonfly that was besieging Xulis."

"Report, the Gluttony mech has attracted the IV-type Crimson Dragonfly that was besieging Wang Hai."

"Report, the Gluttony mech is approaching Wenluosi at high speed."

.....

Puttmi said in extreme horror.

"What the hell is Su Mo doing! He's crazy, attracting so many to himself."

Li Ruqi couldn't help but stand up. He took a deep breath and said, "Let Xulis, Wang Hai, and Wenluosi quickly defeat their respective enemies so they can return to support Su Mo as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The operator next to him quickly responded.

Puttmi said in great surprise, "Lord Li Ruqi, are you just going to let him run wild like this? If he doesn't do it well, he'll die."

"Take a gamble. Since Su Mo dares to do this, he must be confident."

Li Ruqi's eyes were very firm, and his heart was full of confidence in Su Mo.

At this time, Su Mo was almost going crazy. He was in a situation where he couldn't speak, suffering in silence.

He didn't follow the route given by the Fabricator · Devourer and ended up bumping into Wenluosi, who was fighting an IV-type Elite-class Crimson Dragonfly.

After receiving a call from its companion, the IV-type Elite-class Crimson Dragonfly also went crazy and abandoned its attack target to surround Su Mo.

Wenluosi, piloting the Radiance Shadow, wanted to chase after him to help.

But looking at the five monsters following behind, she didn't dare to chase after him rashly.

If these six monsters suddenly stopped and ganged up on her, she would be done for with her skills.

So Wenluosi connected with Li Ruqi and reported, "Lord Li Ruqi, Su Mo has lured away my monster. What should I do now? I can't chase after him alone? And he's too fast."

"Don't worry about Su Mo for now, you immediately go and help others defeat the IV-type bugs."

Li Ruqi said with some excitement.

"Is there no problem on Su Mo's side?"

Wenluosi asked with some worry.

"It's okay, he should be able to hold on for a short time. You guys quickly defeat the other IV-type bugs, and then we'll attack together!"

"Okay, I understand."

Wenluosi nodded in response.

In the Gluttony mech's cockpit, Su Mo was concentrating on maneuvering the Gluttony mech to dodge. Beams of light were attacking from all directions behind him.

Although there was a warning from the Fabricator · Devourer, he would definitely be attacked if his movements were even a second slower. At that time, his escape would be hindered, and he would be greeted by a storm of attacks.

Su Mo's face was very ugly, and he said to the Fabricator · Devourer, "What the hell are you doing? If you want me to attract so many monsters, you have to tell me in advance. And the number should be appropriate, people will die."

Su Mo could see that all of this was calculated by the Fabricator · Devourer.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The Fabricator · Devourer directly ignored Su Mo's words and refused to admit it.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this for now. What do we do now? Six are chasing me!"

"Escape according to the route I indicate."

Then, the Fabricator · Devourer gave another escape route.

"Are you sure? Don't mess with me again."

Su Mo was almost going crazy.

"Whatever."

The Fabricator · Devourer replied in a deep voice.

Su Mo bit the bullet and pulled the control stick, controlling the Gluttony mech to escape according to the planned route.

If you were to look at the entire battlefield from a bird's-eye view, Su Mo was deviating from the main battlefield and flying towards the edge of the battlefield.

At this time, countless bugs poured out of the level 3 resource star C185. The leader was a hundred meters tall, its entire body was dark red, emitting a jewel-like halo, with two pairs of red cicada wings on its back, six scarlet bug eyes on its head, and a red, slender锥尾 (I don't know what this is. It's a cone-like tail, so I translated it based on meaning.) evolving from its tail. Its terrifying biological reaction immediately caused the Green Gore and Black Yao to sound alarms.

"Warning, scanning an ultra-strong negative energy-contaminated Pollock biological reaction."

"Warning, scanning a contaminated V-type Zerg Crimson Dragonfly Bug King!"

......

In the Green Gore's command room, Belo suddenly stood up from her command chair after seeing the Bug King. There was no fear on her face, but extreme excitement.

"There really is a V-type Bug King, finally couldn't help but come out."

"Lord Belo, what do we do next? Not only is the Bug King coming, but it's also carrying a large swarm."

Erica asked worriedly.

Belo waved her hand and said, "Turn on the communication sound."

"Yes!"

The operators on the scene quickly turned on the communication sound.

At this time, in the Black Yao, Li Ruqi's face was also extremely tense when he saw the Bug King appear. What should come has finally come.

At this time, Belo's virtual image opened its mouth and said, "Lord Li Ruqi, the Bug King is here. Now is the most critical moment, success or failure depends on this one move."

"Lord Belo, don't say those useless words at this time. What do you want us to do?"

Li Ruqi asked directly.

"Quick, the mothership officially joins the battle. I need you to help us hold back the swarm and the Bug King, and create a moment of opportunity for us. Then victory will belong to us."

Belo's eyes were full of fanaticism.

"How is that possible!"

Puttmi's face sank, originally most of the high-level combat power of the bugs on the main battlefield was held back by them, and now they have to hold back the Bug King.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Li Ruqi directly agreed.

"Thank you."

Belo then cut off the communication.

"Lord Li Ruqi? This...."

Puttmi couldn't believe it at all.

Li Ruqi took a deep breath and said, "Don't say those, now is not the time to argue about those things, send my order, the Black Yao is officially joining the battle!"

Everyone in the command room had a tight expression, all nerves tense, entering a combat state.

"Fully load the main gun, open all launch ports, load long-range missiles!"

"Order Xulis, Wang Hai, and Wenluosi to immediately end the battle and prepare to face the Bug King!"

"Understood!"

....

Li Ruqi issued orders in an orderly manner.

At this time, Puttmi gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Li Ruqi, can Wang Hai and the others withstand the Bug King? Or let Su Mo come."

"Do you think Su Mo can withstand it? He is being besieged by six IV-type Crimson Dragonfly, it's good enough if he can save his life, don't always think about relying on him, it's not realistic!"

Li Ruqi said calmly.

In fact, how could he not know that what Puttmi said was correct, the best choice was to let Su Mo take the lead and resist the V-type Bug King. The problem is that Su Mo can't get away at all now, and he has already deviated from the battlefield area.

"Understood."

Puttmi replied helplessly.

At this time, Xulis and the others, who received the order, responded in the communication channel at the same time.

"Understood!"

Although they were about to face the V-type Bug King, none of them were afraid.

On the edge of the central battlefield, Su Mo naturally noticed the appearance of the V-type Crimson Dragonfly Bug King, and the entire scanning device was alarming.

"The V-type monster has finally appeared."

"You still have the heart to care about it, you should take care of yourself, be careful of the bugs following you ripping you apart."

The Fabricator · Devourer said in a deep voice.

"Isn't that because of you."

Su Mo replied with a dark face.

"Less nonsense, continue to escape along this route!"

The Fabricator · Devourer said in a low voice.

Su Mo carefully observed the escape route, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. The escape route given by the Fabricator · Devourer began to circle back, with the target pointing directly at the level 3 resource planet C185.

"You want to raid the other side's lair?"

"Not too stupid, the Bug King has already come out, when else would we raid?"

The Fabricator · Devourer's voice was filled with a trace of fanatical excitement.

In fact, the moment the Bug King left the bug nest, it locked on to it. In order to prevent Su Mo from being sent to fight the V-type Bug King, it deliberately let Su Mo lure a bunch of IV-type monsters.

Su Mo didn't say a word of nonsense, things have come to this point, he has to raid it even if he doesn't want to.

So he accelerated forward.

.....

On the central battlefield, at the moment the Bug King led a large number of bugs into the battlefield.

The Black Yao and Green Gore launched attacks at the same time.

Black missiles were fired crazily, turning into streams of light and sweeping towards the swarm.

At the same time, in the Black Yao's command room, Puttmi reported.

"VDS-02 energy beam main gun is charged!"

"Successfully locked target V-type Crimson Dragonfly Bug King."

"Fire!"

Li Ruqi did not hesitate to issue the order.

In the starry sky, the Black Yao's main gun shone brightly, and a brilliant blue beam shot out. The light cut through the dark starry sky, caught up with the missile rain, passed through the swarm, and hit the V-type Bug King first.

"Hit it!"

The operator shouted excitedly.

In the next second, missiles fell into the swarm, rumbling~

Countless fireworks exploded in the entire starry sky, dazzling and beautiful!

However, when the explosion ended, the V-type Crimson Dragonfly Bug King was completely fine, its AT field blocked all the damage.

The positions cleared by the barrage through the swarm were immediately filled by the bugs that followed.

Seeing this scene, Puttmi was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

"How is that possible!"

PS: Happy May Day everyone! Let me be lazy for a few days, hehe! (*^▽^*)!
