"From now on, the left flank is yours. You are allowed to operate freely. I have only one requirement: crush the insectoids as quickly as possible and take planets C181 and C182. Then, hand the remaining tasks over to the auxiliary forces and fully reinforce the main battlefield."

"Understood! We will not fail in our mission!"

The two legion commanders responded.

Li Ruiqi then focused his attention on the main battlefield and began to issue orders.

"Order the central fleet to load all long-range missiles..."

In the starry sky, Su Mo piloted the Voracity mecha at a constant speed. He then saw the originally bright starry sky in the distance instantly turn crimson red.

His expression changed slightly as he said,

"There are too many of them."

"Don't worry about those scraps. No matter how many there are, they won't pose a threat to you. Be careful of the IV-type Chi Ling (Crimson Dragonfly) insectoids among them."

The Falsified Creator·Devourer warned.

"How many are there?"

"Currently, nineteen have been scanned, including nine IV-type Lord-level ones. More may appear later."

The Falsified Creator·Devourer replied in a deep voice.

Su Mo took a deep breath. Counting the IV-generation mechas of the Yanas Kingdom, there were at most ten on the central battlefield. Nineteen against ten. In other words, in terms of high-end combat power alone, the opponent was nearly twice their number.

"Let's do it!"

Time passed.

The two sides got closer and closer. Just as they entered the range of engagement, Li Ruiqi and Beilu simultaneously issued attack commands.

Bang!

Ships and starfighters launched attacks first.

Missiles were fired.

These missiles passed by the front-row mechas, like a meteor shower, and shot towards the insectoids that were sweeping across the starry sky.

Rumble~

The originally crimson starry sky exploded with countless gorgeous fireworks.

Immediately afterward, countless insects fell from the sky.

A large area of the distant starry sky was cleared, showing how fierce the first wave of fire was.

But it was useless.

Countless Chi Ling insectoids immediately filled the empty spaces left by the fallen insectoids. They were incredibly crazy, rushing up without fear of death.

At this moment, Li Ruiqi's voice rang in the communication channel of all the mechas.

"Dear comrades, now is your glorious moment. For the Federation, for the loved ones behind us, please do your best to stop the insectoids! The glory of the Federation will be with you!"

"For the Federation!"

Countless voices rang out passionately.

Immediately afterward, Su Mo and the others, as vanguards, all took the lead in accelerating their charge!

If they wanted to win this battle, the mecha units' containment was extremely important. If the vanguard mecha units could withstand the insectoids, then the ships in the rear could output firepower infinitely.

Every ten minutes they bought meant the rear fleet could launch a large wave of fire to cleanse the area.

No matter how many insectoids there were, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, all of this had to be based on the mecha units being able to withstand it. If they were broken through by the insectoids and then approached those ships...

Basically, the fleet would not be far from destruction.

As for why the Hei Yao (Obsidian) and Lǜ Ge'er (Green Golem) hadn't joined the battle immediately, the reason was simple: they were holding back!

In the starry sky, Su Mo, piloting the Voracity mecha, was the first to collide with the Chi Ling insectoids that filled the sky. These Chi Ling insectoids, with red eyes, crazily slammed into its AT field, even if they smashed themselves into a bloody mess.

Su Mo controlled the Voracity mecha to open its mouth, and a beam of thermal radiation swept across.

The insectoids exploded in the sky!

Patches of insects were quickly cleared away, but the next second, an overwhelming swarm of insects attacked again.

Su Mo felt that the whole world was about to be dyed red, and his scalp was a little numb, but he could only grit his teeth and kill!

At this time, the Falsified Creator·Devourer issued a warning.

"Three IV-type Chi Ling insectoids have locked onto you, one of which is a Lord-level!"

The surrounding holographic images immediately appeared in Su Mo's mind. Three large red dots were detouring from different directions to outflank him, and one of the red dots was a circle larger.

"Kill the Lord-level insectoid with one strike. Otherwise, you will become increasingly passive."

The Falsified Creator·Devourer suggested.

Su Mo naturally knew that the Falsified Creator·Devourer was right, but it was indeed too difficult for him to kill it with one strike. However, Su Mo didn't complain. Instead, he became ruthless, his pupils shrank, and he instantly activated the power of the Voracity mecha.

The biological reaction of the entire Voracity mecha soared, and its ferocious mouth opened, letting out a special roar.

In an instant, the Voracity mecha suddenly exploded, turning into a stream of light, directly piercing through the obstructing insectoids along the way, and actively killing the IV-type Lord-level Chi Ling insectoid in front.

Rather than being passively surrounded and attacked, it was better to take the initiative to risk an attack.

Inside the Hei Yao (Obsidian) command room, the operators were orderly reporting.

"The mecha formation has officially collided with the insectoids. The Seventh Battalion of the First Legion, the Sixth Mecha Squadron, the Seventh Team has suffered damage..."

.....

On the virtual scanning screen, dense red and green dots could be seen colliding together.

Then, one by one, the avatars on their formation side could be seen dimming.

Basically, as long as the avatar turned gray, it meant they had lost contact, either due to severe damage to the mecha or death.

Of course, the sacrifice was not without effect. The originally aggressive insectoids were successfully stopped, and the starfighters and ships in the rear attacked frantically.

Patches of insectoids were strangled under the dense fire coverage!

"Can you scan the number and location of IV-type insects within the insectoid swarm?"

Li Ruiqi asked in a deep voice.

"Not yet. The other party is very cunning and mixed in with the dense insectoids. They are also deliberately suppressing their aura and reducing their biological reactions."

Pūtè Mǐ (Putemi) replied with a solemn expression.

Li Ruiqi thought for a while and opened the communication button to ask, "Lord Beilu, can you confirm the number and location of the IV-type insects on your side?"

"Only three have been captured so far, and they are deviating from your area. If we find more later, we will notify you as soon as possible. You have to be careful. These damned insects, although they don't disguise themselves, have extremely high mobility and are very good at sneaking attacks."

Beilu warned in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Li Ruiqi nodded slightly and then turned off the communication.

At this moment, an operator said in surprise, "Report, the vanguard Voracity mecha is breaking into the insectoid swarm at high speed and is somewhat detached from the main force."

Li Ruiqi glanced at it and said thoughtfully, "I know."

"Lord Li Ruiqi, isn't this too rash?"

Pūtè Mǐ (Putemi) asked with some worry. Everyone was afraid of losing the vanguard right at the start of the war, which would be a big deal.

"Su Mo knows what he's doing."

Li Ruiqi said calmly.

Just then, another operator responsible for monitoring said in shock, "Report, the Voracity mecha piloted by Lord Su Mo has collided with an IV-type Lord-level Chi Ling insectoid! The two sides are already entangled together!"

In the starry sky, Su Mo controlled the Voracity mecha and a Chi Ling insectoid that was more than forty meters long were entangled together. It could be seen that the Voracity mecha's right hand was holding a super-alloy blade, and the entire blade had penetrated the Chi Ling insectoid's body. Its sharp left claws were tightly grasping the Chi Ling insectoid's body, and it was ferociously biting its neck.

No matter how hard it struggled, it wouldn't let go.
